Chapter 777 This boy dares to imitate Sima Yi's cross-dressing story; he must not be allowed to
Xu Jingyu suddenly felt sorry for herself.
When I was the executive deputy prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture, I was treated like a donkey by the prefect every day.
Now that he's come to Huai'an Prefecture as the prefect, he's treating himself like a donkey.
They had been eagerly anticipating the arrival of His Highness the Crown Prince, but before they could even ask for anything, he had already refused them.
uncomfortable.
want to cry.
"I just want some people."
Xu Jingyu didn't care whether Zhu Biao had already refused. "Let's get 20,000 laborers first. The ones from the short and ugly side are the best, but if the ones from the Korean side are cheap, that's fine too."
"In addition, we need Your Highness and the Ministry of Revenue's help to relocate some people from Shanxi to Huai'an Prefecture."
"We also need a few colleagues from the Ministry of Works to explore roads and mineral deposits."
"By the way, there are also workshops. I would like to borrow a few master craftsmen from the many workshops in Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture to come to Huai'an to help Huai'an set up its workshops."
"We also need to send a few instructors to Huaian to help Huaian establish the prefectural school, county schools, and community schools."
"In addition, I would like to transfer a few students who are about to graduate from Dengzhou University to Huai'an to build another Huai'an University."
"..."
Xu Jingyu's main point is that you can refuse, but this official cannot remain silent.
Anyway, let's try our luck first, whether we have a chance or not.
What if it happens?
Zhu Biao listened to Xu Jingyu's request with a blank expression, and finally understood what Yang Shaofeng meant by "the turtle in the wishing well".
I am the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty, not a turtle in a wishing well!
Good heavens, all he wants is laborers, to relocate people, to have officials from the Ministry of Works come to survey roads and mines, to have master craftsmen from Ningyang County and Dengzhou Prefecture workshops, to have instructors transferred from many schools in Dengzhou Prefecture, and even to have students who are about to finish their studies transferred from Dengzhou University.
You, Xu Jingyu, are truly outspoken and daring!
Are those students at Dengzhou University someone you can even think about?
Nanjing University in Beijing is eagerly awaiting this!
It's like a celestial dog swallowing the moon! You have quite the appetite!
Zhu Biao was internally ranting, and Yang Shaofeng couldn't hold back any longer either.
This dog-like official drinks tea in the fields, pretends to sell local specialties as tribute items and then sells them at high prices in the market. That's one thing, but the real problem is that he also tries to fleece people!
wrong.
I'm the one who fleeces the Ministry of Works and Old Deng and Little Deng, but this bastard is openly trying to fleece me!
Yang Shaofeng cursed inwardly, but Xu Jingyu changed his expression and looked at Yang Shaofeng pitifully, saying, "Your Excellency, I come from Dengzhou Prefecture. In folk terms, Dengzhou Prefecture is like my maternal home."
"In traditional Chinese weddings, there's a dowry, isn't there?"
"I've been transferred from Dengzhou to Huai'an all by myself. If my family doesn't send a few trustworthy people with me, wouldn't I become a laughingstock?"
"Does the Prefectural Governor not want to be called stingy?"
Ok? ? ?
Yang Shaofeng stared at Xu Jingyu with a bewildered expression.
From the moment Xu Jingyu uttered the words "Prefectural Lord," Yang Shaofeng knew that this scoundrel was up to no good.
Under normal circumstances, the way officials address each other is "the higher the rank, the better." Yang Shaofeng can be called Prince Consort or Duke of Ying, but it is not common for anyone to use titles like Prefect Yang or Governor Yang.
The only exception was the students from Ningyang County, who always addressed Yang Shaofeng as "Master Yang" and never called Jin'er and Yu'er "Princess" but "Teacher's Wife".
Xu Jingyu, that scoundrel, immediately addressed the Prefect as "Your Excellency," which was practically saying, "Old Prefect, I'm a soldier you trained. Now that I'm in trouble, you can't just abandon me."
This is similar to Li Yunlong calling out to the brigade commander and the division commander.
But Yang Shaofeng never expected that Xu Jingyu, that bastard, not only failed to produce anything worthwhile, but actually made a huge mess.
Just for laborers and manpower, you, Xu Jingyu, a dignified ruler of a prefecture, actually compare yourself to a married-out daughter. You have no shame at all!
Damn it, should I say, "This kid dares to imitate Sima Yi's cross-dressing story; he will surely become a great threat sooner or later and must not be allowed to live"?
Just as Yang Shaofeng was pondering this, Zhu Biao's eyes lit up and he said, "Although what Xu Qing said is not pleasant to hear, it is also true. After all, Xu Qing was transferred from Dengzhou Prefecture by me. If I don't show any appreciation, I'm afraid people will really laugh at me."
"How about this, I'll find a way to get the Ministry of Revenue to relocate some people from various places to Huai'an. I can't say how many, but I can guarantee a few thousand households."
"I will also try to coordinate with the Ministry of Works and ask them to send people to Huai'an Prefecture to explore roads and mineral deposits."
Then, Zhu Biao turned his gaze to Yang Shaofeng: "What does brother-in-law think?"
What is my intention?
My intention is to kill Xu Jingyu, and while we're at it, throw you, this black sesame dumpling, into a pot and boil you for three days and three nights!
So, now that Old Deng has returned to the capital, you've sent this black sesame dumpling to annoy me, haven't you?
Seeing that Zhu Biao had carried him to the mountaintop, Yang Shaofeng could only snort coldly and say to Xu Jingyu with a dark face, "You write the memorial, His Highness will affix his seal, and I will dispatch the people."
Xu Jingyu was overjoyed and repeatedly bowed to Zhu Biao and Yang Shaofeng to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Prince Consort!"
Hey, all I was thinking of was asking for an exorbitant price, and then waiting for His Highness and the Prefect to come down and negotiate the money back.
But to my utter surprise, His Highness the Crown Prince actually agreed to my request in order to trick his brother-in-law!
What does this amount to?
This is equivalent to a huge pie falling directly from the sky, and this pie is wobbling and heading straight for my mouth, there's no way to dodge it!
Seeing Xu Jingyu's ugly face beaming with a smile as bright as a chrysanthemum, Yang Shaofeng felt even more furious.
Xu Jingyu, the dog!
When he was the executive deputy prefect of Dengzhou Prefecture, he was thinking about taking advantage of Dengzhou Prefecture. Now that he has been transferred to the position of prefect of Huai'an, he immediately changed his tune and started to take advantage of Dengzhou Prefecture.
What the hell is going on?!
And Zhu Biao's black sesame dumplings were so black they were almost multicolored—just to annoy me, he actually agreed to Xu Jingyu's outrageous demands!
He truly lives up to his reputation as my brother-in-law!
You're so high and mighty, so great, you're using my position to curry favor!
Yang Shaofeng grew angrier the more he thought about it. Suddenly, he chuckled and looked at Zhu Biao, saying, "Your Highness, Prefect Xu just said that he still needs some short and ugly men as laborers."
"It's rare for Prefect Xu to speak up, and what he wants isn't anything significant. Doesn't Your Highness intend to give him some laborers?"
Zhu Biao's heart tightened, and he immediately shook his head in refusal: "This... let's discuss it later, let's discuss it later, let's talk about it when we get to Dengzhou Prefecture."
