Chapter thirteen first meeting the county magistrate

Mao Geng was not nervous when he learned that it was the county magistrate summoned him. He even dealt with provincial and municipal officials in his previous life, so what was a county and department-level official afraid of!

Along the way, Mao Geng was thinking about how to build Xinhua if he was the magistrate of Xinhua County.

Mao Geng replaced himself as the Xinhua County Magistrate, thinking along the way whether he should start a mining industry first, build roads and bridges first, or Daxing Education?

I also remembered that I had visited Anhua Tea Horse Ancient Road. In fact, the trade routes of Anhua Tea Horse Ancient Road also include the northwest of Xinhua. At this time of the Song Dynasty, there was a lack of horse farms to raise horses. Xinhua is located in the west of Xuefeng Mountain. The mountainous area is low. It is also rich in soybeans. There are few people and many lands, and there are many mountains. Raising horses is unique. Raising horses is also a way to develop the economy and can alleviate the war horse crisis in the Song Dynasty.

For example, there is a huge gap between the capital and water tributaries in Xinhua. It is definitely a good place to run water and electricity. Of course, it is very nonsense to talk about water and electricity now, but the development of hydraulic machinery is an excellent place. Since hydraulic machinery can be developed, it is not difficult to burn cement. Cement is a high-energy-consuming industry. Cement energy consumption not only refers to the energy consumption during firing, but also the energy consumption of stone crushing and grinding into raw materials. Clinker grinding also consumes energy. You can't refer to it.

I hope to use manual crushing stones to grind powder! In the 1970s, a piece of stone could be sold for RMB 1, which is equivalent to one-quarter of the wages of workers at that time. It can be seen that the cost is not cheap, let alone grinding into powder. If you rely solely on manual crushing stones to grind powder, the cost of cement burned out like this will be so high. But as long as there is hydraulically driven crushing and grinding machinery, then, hehe, you can produce commercial cement on a large scale-up-------.

Mao Geng was thinking all the way, as if the mission he was to guide local work, or to create a proposal for the CPPCC for the county. In short, he is a well-deserved expert in this era. If the county magistrate knew about it, it would be okay to let him gain more political achievements.

It was not until he entered the county government gate that Mao Geng woke up suddenly. Seeing the four big words "The mirror is hanging high" in the lobby of the county government, Mao Geng realized that this was more than 800 years ago and later generations. Many of the stories told in the play were unjust and false cases caused by this large plaque with bright mirrors hanging high. I think it would be no strange to have an unjust case under this plaque. He was in vain and was still suspected of unknown origin. Xinhua is located in a remote place, and the county magistrate even holds the power of life and death to seize life and death. It doesn't matter whether he is an expert or not, so don't get involved in prison.

As expected, when you enter the government office, you can feel the strict atmosphere. Mao Geng became uneasy for a moment.

When Mao Geng was in a daze, someone took him to the back hall, and then Mao Geng was introduced to meet the magistrate Xu County.

After Mao Geng saw the ceremony, County Magistrate Xu was polite and asked him to sit down and speak. This made Mao Geng feel much more at ease.

But then County Magistrate Xu said a few polite words and asked Mao Geng what books he had read. This was just an ordinary question, but Mao Geng didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Could it be that I have only read "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Classics"? I can't say that I have studied "Political Economics"!

Master Wang once asked a similar question, but Wen Yuan was there, and Mao Geng vaguely made excuses. Speaking of which, the Wang family also brought some books, but Mao Geng felt a headache when he saw those books without punctuation marks. Moreover, he was not interested in reading the classics and history at all, so now facing the county master, he didn't know how to talk about it.

Mao Geng was nervous and even more stuttering when he replied:

"Shame! Xiaoke's - that master - that has never taught - that classics and history, just choose the one - that Qimen - a strange technique to teach disciples. In fact, it cannot be said that it is - that Qimen - a strange technique, that is, calculation learning - that astronomy, geography, and that science, oh, no! It is - that - that academic institution." Mao Geng spoke Mandarin because even if he held it out of Shandong dialect, he could not remove his suspicion.

County Magistrate Xu was not surprised that the people who were reincarnated did not study classics and history. Under the rule of the Jin people, after studying the Four Books and Five Classics, would he have to take the imperial examination for the Jin people? However, Mao Geng seemed to be untrue, and he was a little inconsistent with the foreword. Moreover, Mao Geng's accent was unheard of, and he was confused and asked:

"What science do you mean is the academic of the organ? But is the academic of the Luban Gongshu?"

Mao Geng thought that he should not lose to the public and loser, so he answered vaguely:

"Even if---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

County Magistrate Xu continued to pursue:

"So, it is said that Brother Mao knows the mystery of the Water Transportation Eye Station very well, right? Yes, right?"

"This - that, Xiaoke roughly - that - that - is - understand." Mao Geng knew nothing about the specific structure of the water transport gazebo. Even the principle of the water transport gazebo was also known based on rumors, and those rumors may not be accurate, and now he can only pass by vaguely.

When County Magistrate Xu heard this, he was obviously a little disappointed, but he still asked:

"So, Brother Mao is not sure about creating this water transport gazebo platform. Is that true?" County Magistrate Xu's original idea was that since the water transport gazebo platform in Bianjing became owned by the Jin people, Lin'an is now missing this magical artifact as a treasure for the country. If he built another water transport gazebo platform under his leadership, he might be able to move it to Lin'an one or two levels, and he would no longer have to stay in this remote county. But, a pity!

"That's right! Xiaoke---really-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When the magistrate Xu heard this, he thought that you didn’t have the ability to brag, so why would you brag about it? He thought that he had found a treasure. No matter how well he was in cultivation, he was a little angry at this time and said with some sarcasm:

"Brother Mao even knows only the water transport gazebo platform, but he says he wants to create a magical tool that surpasses the water transport gazebo platform. What did you say?"

"It's Xiaoke's words, it's true!" Mao Geng also felt arrogant. County Magistrate Xu believed that he knew only about the water transportation gazebo platform, so he didn't want to surpass it. In the eyes of County Magistrate Xu, he became the deceitor who was cheating in an instant. Of course, he had to make it clear:

"The adults doubt that Xiaoke, Xiaoke, that explanation is also redundant. However, if Xiaoke can't come up with it after half a year, if Xiaoke can't come up with that timer--that mechanism, then the adults will make that evaluation again."

After Mao Geng finished speaking this paragraph of stuttering, he thought it would be great if Wen Yuan was here. The boy was slick and clear, and the sentence was the same meaning, but it was much more acceptable than what he said.

County Magistrate Xu originally planned to teach Mao Geng a lesson, and then sent him away. Now, seeing that the boy was still unwilling to admit defeat, County Magistrate Xu's gambling nature immediately came up again. He calculated in his mind that if Mao Geng succeeded in half a year, it would be at least a 100,000 yuan prize. If Mao Geng was purely a fraud, he would achieve nothing in half a year and lose only tens of thousands of yuan. The loss of this county can still bear. But no! If it succeeds, it can be operated into a great political achievement. If it fails, it will be at most unknown. In this way, the benefits that may be brought are obviously much higher than the losses that may be caused. This bet!

County Magistrate Xu was very good at changing his face. He changed his smile and asked:

"According to Brother Mao's estimates, how much does it cost to build such a magic weapon?" County Magistrate Xu knew that it took several years to build the water transport gazebo platform, and it cost a lot. He didn't know how much the magic weapon that the Mao surnamed wanted to build would cost. If it cost a lot, he would have to ask the Xinhua big household to donate some money. When he thought that the county could use limited money, County Magistrate Xu became worried about gains and losses.

Mao Geng didn't know how much the clock cost was. Before it was successfully done, he would probably have to waste at least a lot of parts. The materials should not be less labor costs, and the trial production costs would probably not be low. Considering the limited cost of materials, Mao Geng estimated the budget as high as possible. After calculating, he replied:

"I'm afraid it will take thousands of guan to make it successful."

County Magistrate Xu was hit hard for a while, what can a thousand guan do? County Magistrate Xu thought that the number proposed by Mao Geng was at least ten thousand guan, but unexpectedly, the person named Mao only mentioned a thousand guan. One thousand guan can only be one percent of the water transport gazebo platform. Could it be that the person named Mao should make an hourglass-like timing mechanism! But why do you need a thousand guan to make an hourglass!

County Magistrate Xu's interest was greatly reduced, but he still asked again:

"You're sure it's going to cost a thousand guan?"

Mao Geng thought that County Magistrate Xu felt that it was too much money, but this was not something that required County Magistrate Xu to allocate funds. He should be somewhat sure to raise this thousand trump card. But since County Magistrate Xu asked about it, it seemed inappropriate to not answer, so he answered carefully:

"Maybe one thousand guan is said to be too much, eight hundred guan is that one must be missing."

County Magistrate Xu was really a little discouraged. He worked hard to meet the Mao family boy in person. Now, when he saw that the thing he wanted to make could not be used as a magic weapon. He originally wanted to be a strange thing, but it turned out that this boy was probably an arrogant maniac.

County Magistrate Xu lost interest in asking Master Mao Geng whereabouts. He waved his hand and asked someone to take Mao Geng away, then sighed, thinking that he was also anxious.

However, although County Magistrate Xu was a little discouraged, he still held a glimmer of hope. This was because of the gamble. County Magistrate Xu arranged a special person to take the Mao Geng’s mathematics exam, but found that he could not fail Mao Geng anyway, which made County Magistrate Xu become more eager again. However, County Magistrate Xu had many doubts and had to be more cautious. So he discussed with County Magistrate Guo, referred to Mr. Wu’s suggestion, and finally came up with a strange resettlement plan.

One day later, Mao Geng was still very upset about meeting the county magistrate to deal with the loss of body, and waited for the long-awaited resettlement officer. When Mao Geng learned of the resettlement plan, he was very surprised.

This resettlement plan is so weird! First, I was assigned to a place by Youxi with my family, and I was assigned to a place by Youxi. At the same time, the government launched a Baixi official school plan. Mr. Wang and himself both got the temporary position of Mr. Baixi official school.

Baixi Town is more than ten miles away from Youxi, where the settlement is made. Mao Geng couldn't help but wonder, could the private teachers in later generations also refer to the experience of the Southern Song Dynasty? When he arrived in the Song Dynasty, he encountered setbacks in politics, and the first position he wanted to do was equivalent to that of private teachers in later generations!
