Imperial County Magistrate

Chapter 631

The night was dark, and even the moon was like a shy little girl, hiding under the clouds, with only a corner peeking out.

In the quiet courtyard, candles are lit in all directions.

A bottle of wine, two people, speechless, only incomparable embarrassment.

Gongsun Yunxiu, in particular, wanted to taste the wine brewed by Zhao Kang this time, but she was a little embarrassed. She was still thinking about whether Zhao Kang had seen her performing on the stage.

It is rare for this kind of embarrassment to appear in her, the dean of Zhou Guo Academy.

Zhao Kang even thought about the saddest things in his life, and suppressed the raised corners of his mouth several times.

Unexpectedly, the person in front of me actually has the aura of a nightclub queen. Is this the legendary contrast?

After thinking wildly for a while, Zhao Kang took the initiative to break the deadlock and poured a glass of wine for Gongsun Yunxiu opposite.

"Try it. This time the wine is a high-quality wine that has been repeatedly distilled and purified. It should be above 56 degrees. It is stronger than the Sanliangye you drank last time."

"But I can't drink much with you. Your drinking capacity is too scary. I really only drank a little this time."

Gongsun Yunxiu couldn't help but smile when she heard this. It was the first time she drank such good wine before, and she drank too much for a while. She also felt a little embarrassed afterwards.

After taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Gongsun Yunxiu exclaimed: "Although the aroma is not as good as the ones I drank before, the strength in this wine is even better, and it can make people heroic."

Zhao Kang smiled and nodded, and then finally asked: "Since you came to Yuanjiang County early, why didn't you go directly to the school to find Mr. Zhang Sheng?"

Gongsun Yunxiu looked at him with a strange look in his eyes and said, "Mr. Zhang said in his letter that he invited me to take a good look at Yuanjiang County, so I decided to visit around first. I don't know if I don't see it."

"Yuanjiang County, Imperial Master, is really good! More than 100 taels of silver are only enough for one day. No wonder it is so prosperous."

Zhao Kang coughed several times in succession, and couldn't help but blush when he heard Gongsun Yunxiu's strange anger.

Because of the recent financial constraints, the black tour guides in Yuanjiang County have gone crazy.

Anyone who is a stranger will be killed if caught.

The good thing is that most of the people who come to Yuanjiang County are businessmen with thick wallets and enough money.

Unexpectedly, he met a group of poor scholars like Gongsun Yunxiu and was treated as a fat sheep.

When he was thinking about how to explain, Gongsun Yunxiu drank the wine in the cup and said: "But it is undeniable that Yuanjiang County is indeed very different from the places I have seen over the years."

Zhao Kang became interested: "Tell me about it?"

Although Yuanjiang County has developed rapidly in recent years, the specific direction is determined by Zhao Kang alone, and he is also afraid that the direction he has set will go astray.

It would be great if someone could point out the shortcomings and give suggestions.

After Gongsun Yunxiu pondered for a moment, he said to Zhao Kang: "First of all, there is no doubt that the people's livelihood in Yuanjiang County is far better than that of the so-called state capitals."

"I have learned about the general situation of Yuanjiang County from many people these days. The people are very convinced of you. This is a good thing, but it is also a shortcoming."

Zhao Kang began to ponder, and then heard Gongsun Yunxiu continue: "When I look at people and affairs, I am accustomed to infer the worst results and malice. When you don't make mistakes, you can lead Yuanjiang County all the way up."

"But if one day you make a wrong move, Yuanjiang County will follow you on the wrong path."

"We need different voices and more talents." Zhao Kang asked.

Gongsun Yunxiu nodded: "You are the leader of all classes of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce in Yuanjiang County, but one person's power is limited after all." "It is only Yuanjiang County now. You can naturally manage it with your own ability." Everything is in order, but in the future, Yuanjiang County will become Yuanjiang Prefecture, Prefecture or even bigger?"

"Will you be able to do everything as well as you do now? In the final analysis, you still have too few talents at your disposal."

"What you need now are talented people who are good enough to help you manage and expand the scale of Yuanjiang County. Of course, these talents must be loyal enough to you. Only by pooling wisdom can we take the development of Yuanjiang County to a higher level."

Zhao Kang nodded in agreement, and Gongsun Yunxiu added: "Mr. Zhang said in his letter that you built a large-scale school in Yuanjiang County for compulsory education?"

Zhao Kang snorted: "Not only in Yuanjiang County, but in fact, in the main cities of the five states of Qianguo, schools are being established in the main cities of each state to prepare for the comprehensive promotion of compulsory education. The subsequent imperial examinations will also be open to all students."

"What about the clans from all over the world?" Gongsun Yunxiu asked.

Zhao Kang: "I can already control the children of the aristocratic families in Qingzhou. They will stand by my side when the time comes. As for the rest."

Zhao Kang said with a smile: "Of course it's best if you agree. If you don't agree, let them disappear into ashes."

Gongsun Yunxiu said with a brilliance shining in his beautiful eyes: "Can you really do it? Even if you have to face the verbal and written criticism from the clans all over the world, you won't care at all?"

The corner of Zhao Kang's mouth raised: "Nowadays, many people call me a massacre because of the trapping and killing of prisoners of war. If I don't use the knife, wouldn't it be in vain?"

"It is true that a scholar's pen kills people without blood, but the fastest thing to kill is a knife!"

There was only one person left in the quiet courtyard. The woman in white recalled what Zhao Kang said when he left. She picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one gulp: "It's a big white!"

Taking advantage of Mount Tai to reach the North Sea is a must, but it is impossible.

And Zhao Kang wanted to do this.

The next day.

Zhao Kang got up early and took Gao Quan with him to the cement factory.I heard from Gongsun Yunxiu yesterday that someone named Li Zhizhou came with her.

This person is a well-known Confucian in calligraphy and painting in Zhou Academy. After he went back yesterday, he asked someone to check it out.

I found that this great scholar was producing cement in a cement factory.

"master."

The supervisor of the cement plant trotted over when he saw Zhao Kang coming. He already knew Zhao Kang's purpose and pointed at a middle-aged man who was working hard and sweating like rain.

"He is Li Zhizhou."

Zhao Kang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He recognized that this was the man he had met in the restaurant before. It was he who had told him to come to this cement factory.

"Tell him to stop doing it." Gao Quan said.

The cement plant supervisor immediately shouted: "Li Zhizhou, come here!"

"To!"

Li Zhizhou put down the shovel in his hand and ran over immediately: "Supervisor!"

"This is our master, this is Mr. Gao, they are here to pick you up."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhizhou looked at Zhao Kang and Gao Quan with wide eyes, his mouth trembled, and then tears burst into his eyes.
