Chapter 1737: Guanzhou Cheng finally recovered from his injury
By hiring some temporary workers to do the work and having them keep an eye on things, Song Shi and the others could relax a little.
When all the barren mountains are developed, more workers will be needed for long-term employment, not to mention short-term employment. And this is just the beginning.
The most important thing is that Qiao Xuan wants to provide more employment opportunities for the people of Anze Prefecture in this way, and to more closely integrate the interests of her family with those of the local people.
As long as the products such as Sichuan pepper, star anise, pepper, medicinal herbs and potatoes have a good harvest and sell at a good price, more people will follow suit to grow them. Even she herself will continue to expand the scale.
She wants to develop the vast area of Anzezhou into a famous hometown of spices and medicinal materials in Daqin.
Such a big city as Anzezhou will surely become more and more lively!
Le Zhengxiao has decided to open a branch of the Le Zheng family business in the city, and open a dessert shop as well. He plans to open three dessert shops in the city first, and also sell a variety of fresh fruits.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan naturally agreed very much.
If possible, in two years, Shao Yunduan would like to contact the prefect of Yuzhang to renovate the official road between Anzezhou and Yuzhang, widen it, pave it, and change the route in some places...
This is a huge project that requires a huge amount of money to be invested, and it is naturally impossible to do it at the moment.
Although each family has paid the money they are supposed to pay under pressure, the Anze Prefecture government still owes Qiao Xuan 620,000 silver coins!
Shao Yunduan paid back 120,000 yuan, and still owed 500,000 yuan. He had to wait until this sum of money was paid off before he could do anything else...
Guanzhou Cheng finally recovered from his "injury" and took the initiative to tell Shao Yunduan that he could go to the yamen to work and help Lord Shao.
"I am so ashamed. My health is not good and my luck is bad! Otherwise, I would have been able to help you earlier. Now I have finally recovered from my injuries. You have been working so hard for so long. It's a good time for you to take a rest. I will take care of all the trivial matters."
"Don't worry, sir. I have been in Anze Prefecture for so many years and I know the political affairs here like the back of my hand. I will handle all the affairs for you properly without any mistakes!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't go to the government office for ten days or half a month!"
Guanzhou Cheng almost patted his chest as he said these words to Shao Yunduan with a smile.
That posture and tone, it was as if he had made a huge sacrifice to help Shao Yunduan solve his problems so that Shao Yunduan could have a peaceful rest. It was as if Shao Yunduan had taken advantage of him.
I was almost asking, "I do so much for you without asking for anything in return, just think whether I am good to you or not?"
Shao Yunduan laughed inwardly.
This Guanzhou Cheng must be playing people for fools, right? He clearly saw that if he continued to pretend to be sick and injured, he would gain nothing and lose all his prestige. He was impatient and could not wait any longer, but he spoke so righteously!
If he had honestly said that he had recovered from his injury and could work normally, Shao Yunduan would not bother to argue with him for the time being.
However, he was clearly anxious and wanted to seize power, but he acted as if Shao Yunduan had taken advantage of him, which was quite disgusting.
"Your body and hair should not be taken lightly. Is Guanzhou Cheng really well? If you are not fully recovered, you may want to rest for a while longer."
"I am not such a mean person. Even if Guanzhou Cheng takes another year or two off, the salary he deserves will still be given to him in full!"
