Han Du was not polite. The yamen servant turned around and ran in. Han Du walked into the county yamen with his back legs. As soon as he reached the lobby, he saw the yamen servant hurried out.

When the yamen officer saw Han Du coming here, his expression suddenly changed, but he did not dare to say anything, so he bowed and led the way, inviting Han Du in.

Han Du came to the study and when he saw the county magistrate, he couldn't help but said in surprise, "So it's you?"

The man in front of me was the former magistrate of Zhou County.

When County Magistrate Zhou saw Han Du, he was not at all happy. He curled his lips and bowed to Han Du and said, "I am the next official, Zhou Huai, to pay my respects to the Marquis of Zhenhai."

Han Du walked over to Zhou Huai and sat down unceremoniously. He smiled and said, "So your name is Zhou Huai. I still know your name after all this time."

This Zhou Huai was the county magistrate who felt sorry for him when the cement road was first built. Therefore, Han Du remembered it very clearly.

"What? I heard that you handed over all the construction and other work in the county to people like Sanwazi?"

"Exactly." Zhou Huai nodded, as if answering that Han Du had eaten rice this morning.

Seeing his understatement, Han Du couldn't help but narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "The imperial court has its own laws. How dare you make your own decisions and let people like Sanwazi get involved? Aren't you afraid that the censor will refer to your book?"

?”

Facing Han Du's threat, Zhou Huai calmly shook his head and said, "Afraid, why not?"

?But there is nothing I can do about it. This county is poor. If we really do it in a satisfactory manner, the county will not be able to build a few roads or mend a few canals in the whole year. Of course, if the Supervisory Yuan is willing to spend money to build it for the county

If so, then the lower official can do without people like Sanwazi."

As soon as Han Du heard Zhou Huai's words, he knew that this was someone who was not stingy. He looked at him curiously, wondering how a person with a literary background got into such a habit of not being stingy.

"They are just beginners. Aren't you worried that there will be something wrong with what they build?"

Zhou Huai calmly held the tea cup, blew a few breaths, and said: "Every time they repair, the official will send someone to watch. And after the repair is completed, a special person will be sent to inspect. Only if the inspection passes,

Only then can they get money, and for the money they will build it carefully. Moreover, in the eyes of the lower officials, the things they build are better than those built by those from the Ministry of Works."

Okay or not, Han Du hasn't seen it yet, so let's leave it alone. What makes Han Du even more curious is where did Zhou Huai get the courage from.

"The emperor has promulgated a strict road guide system. You have so many of them gathering and running around the county. What will happen to the road guide?"

Gathering more than a thousand people is not a trivial matter. If someone with an intention finds out, it is not impossible to impeach Zhou Huai for gathering a crowd to rebel.

"Of course the official will follow Lu Yin's instructions." Zhou Huai raised his eyes to look at Han Du and said calmly.

"You follow the directions? There are so many people, and you lead them all?" This time it was Han Du's turn to be a little surprised. You must know that there were not thirty or fifty people, but more than a thousand people.

Everyone issued road guides, and just these more than a thousand road guides would make Zhou Huai very tired. If it were a lazy county magistrate, let alone issuing road guides one by one, I'm afraid he would hear

With this number, I thought that more would be better than less, so I rejected it directly.

"It's just some paper with a big seal on it. It's worth it to feed and clothe so many people." Zhou Huai didn't think anything of it and said calmly.

Han Du didn't say anything after hearing this. He just looked at Zhou Huai intently and quickly smiled slowly.

After a while, Han Ducai said: "I want to see how they did before. Is it convenient?"

Zhou Huai gently put his tea cup in his hands, stood up and bowed, saying, "Please come with the Lord Marquis and your subordinates."

Under the leadership of Zhou Huai, Han Du checked one by one the various projects that Sanwazi and others had done before. They were indeed well done and of high quality.

However, Han Du did not agree to Sanwazi on the spot, but asked him to wait for news.

Han Du left Jurong and went to see Lao Zhu as soon as he returned to the capital.

Lao Zhu happened to have some free time today. He was standing behind the imperial desk and was splashing ink with great interest.

Even when Han Du paid a visit, Lao Zhu didn't even raise his head and just dealt with it casually.

"Get back on your feet. If you don't go to repair your horse farm, why do you come to see me?"

"It's because of the construction of the racecourse that I came to ask the emperor for help." Han Du smiled awkwardly.

Lao Zhu curled up into a smile, and without looking at Han Du, he asked directly: "What do you think of me?"

Han Du hurriedly acted like a bitch, just glanced at the imperial case, and quickly shouted: "Okay, the emperor has good words."

Originally, after Lao Zhu finished writing, he was just quite complacent and asked Han Du subconsciously. However, he did not expect that Han Du would be like this. Not only did Lao Zhu not feel good about it, but he also felt that Han Du was not even afraid of flattery.

Yes. Anyway, now Lao Zhu is being fucked up and down by Han Du and is not very comfortable.

With a snap, he threw the brush in his hand into the inkstone and said in a bad tone: "Then tell me what's so good about my word. If it's right, I'll spare you. If it's wrong, you can

Please take care of me carefully."

This was a threat, and he asked himself to say, what should he do? Han Du was not only a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, as his mind was spinning, Han Du's eyes lit up, he lowered his head and looked at Lao Zhu's handwriting carefully, and suddenly praised: "The emperor's writing style is natural and smooth, his manners are vivid, his wind spirit is unique, he has a divine mind, and he follows the natural way."
