Chapter 309 Who helped the Su family escape guilt?
"Aying, please work hard and get the new math textbooks and the cement plant design drawings ready as soon as possible!"
After breakfast, Lu Zhaoshi and others left and gave some temporary instructions.
"No need to worry! Bring these vermicelli with you. I have written down a few recipes for vermicelli dishes. You can take them to the chef and have him work on them. He will definitely make delicious dishes!" Su Ying said.
"Uncle, we'll be busy now! After Uncle Yang and his team finish their busy farming season, we'll split into two teams and set up construction teams in Wu County and Tong County. Then you can start construction as scheduled."
"Aying, I leave the house to you! Please take good care of me, your second aunt!" Su Laoer said worriedly.
This time, Su Laoer and Lu Zhaoshi returned to the provincial capital together.
Originally, he should have gone to the Lingnan Governor's Office to consult with Feng Xu and ask for a piece of land for the official office. After the person in charge sent by the Ministry of Works arrived, he would bring his team to promote road construction in various prefectures in Lingnan Province.
However, this matter was first carried out in Wuxian and Tongxian, and it can be regarded as a model project. It would be better to stay in Wuzhou for supervision.
A letter was sent to Feng Xu, and when the head of the Ministry of Works arrived, he asked them to report to the Wuzhou provincial capital.
He was suddenly transformed into an official and was very busy with work, so the remaining projects of Jinfengzhai had to be handed over to Yang Dalang and Yang Erlang.
During this period of time, I have to lead people to travel all the official roads in Wuxian and Tongxian counties, and do the preliminary investigation work. The state government and the two county governments will send people to assist in completing the work.
We also need to select a site and build the cement plant as soon as possible.
I wish I could split myself into several pieces. There are so many things to do, but not enough people to help!
His wife at home is pregnant again, and Su Laoer doesn’t know whether to be happy or sad!
"Don't worry, Second Uncle. You don't have to worry about anything at home. Grandma, Aunt, Third Aunt are here, and Second Aunt's family is also here. It won't be a burden to Second Aunt.
Just focus on your work and get it done! I'll draw the blueprints for the cement plant in the next few days. You can find someone to discuss it with, and it's best to finalize the plan based on actual site conditions.
Once you have all the people under you and someone to share the burden with, you will feel more relaxed!
"Regarding the Dayuling project, submit a petition requesting repairs as soon as possible. I suggest that once the official roads to Wuxian and Tongxian are completed, we take people to Dayuling for inspection and try to complete the construction during the winter farming off-season," Su Ying suggested.
"?" Su Laoer felt overwhelmed. Wuxian and Tongxian hadn't even started yet, and her niece had already arranged for her to go to Dayuling. "Aying, isn't this a bit too hasty?"
"Second Uncle, in terms of importance, none of the official roads in Lingnan can compare to Dayu Ridge! After we dig through it, we can slowly build official roads to various prefectures and counties!
"Once Dayu Ridge is cleared, everything will be accelerated. Scholars from the Central Plains will be able to travel to Lingnan for cultural exchange, and Lingnan students will soon be able to leave the region!" Su Ying advised.
My second uncle is a practical person and cannot be the mainstay in planning the direction of major policies. His vision is not that high and he lacks courage, so he is more suitable to be a deputy.
"Lord Su, what Aying said makes a lot of sense. It's right to listen to her!" Lu Zhaoshi also advised.
As soon as he heard Su Ying's words, he understood that when doing things, one must not only work hard, but also work smartly, and distinguish between the primary and secondary, and the important and the urgent.
Yu Su Laoer, as the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Works in charge of the construction of Lingnan roads, the most urgent and important thing at present is to dig through Dayu Mountain.
"Sir, please submit a petition regarding the Dayuling matter as soon as possible and facilitate it as soon as possible!" Su Ying said sincerely, "My second uncle has taken on this important task, so please help me!"
"It saves time, it saves time!" Lu Zhaoshi said with a smile.
"Sir, can the silk reeling machine be delivered as soon as possible? The loom can be slowed down for now. It's okay to weave slowly, but the silk quality must be top quality! The silk reeling machine is very important!" Su Ying said another important thing.
"Send it over in half a month. Will twenty be enough?" Lu Zhaoshi asked.
"That's enough!" Su Ying nodded. "Send one to Wu County and Tong County, and promote this method to the people, including the cold reeling method!"
It took him a long time to finish his words after he walked out of the village.
"Aying, go back!" Su Laoer rode on the horse and waved to his niece.
"Sir, official documents!" Dou Jing and his party had just returned to the post station from the countryside when a postman brought them several official documents.
They have arrived in Guizhou to supervise the planting of two crops of rice in the area. In the past few months, they have been running non-stop to various states and counties. They are all tanned and look like a group of old farmers in official robes.
"Yeah!" Dou Jing took it casually, wiped the sweat off his face, sat down, opened it and took a closer look.
"Huh?" Dou Jing picked up the first letter, which turned out to be from Su Buqing. In addition to the wax seal, it also had seals from the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Agriculture.
Dou Jing thought for a moment and said, "Go call Su Buqing!"
"Sir!" Su Buqing was about to write a letter home.
"Su Sanlang, your official certificate!" Dou Jing handed it to Su Buqing.
Su Buqing took it bewilderedly. What did his official certificate mean?
"Don't you plan to open it and take a look?" Dou Jing laughed, guessing it was good news.
How come I didn't discover this talent at Sinong Temple before? Not only is he a hard worker, he's also quite intelligent.
Along the way, he not only had to deal with officials from various states and counties, but also had to deal with gentry and farmers in the towns and villages below.
Everyone knows that two seasons of rice are good and yield a lot, but everyone shakes their heads because the second season of rice requires plowing and re-sowing.
It’s no fun to hoe the fields by hand without oxen or plows!
Many people are against two-season rice, and would rather have one season of rice and then have the rice stubble grow new seedlings in the field to grow new rice.
Although the yield is not as high as that of double-season rice, it is not as tiring.
Su Buqing not only tirelessly taught various new farming methods along the way, such as fertilizing the soil, plowing and re-seeding.
They also negotiated with the state and county governments in the name of the grain special district, either renting or jointly purchasing, and asked the government to quickly produce a batch of agricultural tools and rent or sell them to farmers.
The government even organized the government to rent oxen to farmers to plow the land.
He has a very active mind, unlike other officials who are rigid and have no achievements or mistakes.
Dou Jing was very surprised, but felt sorry.
Seeing the official letter from the Ministry of Personnel at this moment, he, who was well versed in the ways of officialdom, guessed that it was a letter of appointment.
I couldn't help but feel secretly surprised. The Su family still had someone in the capital? Exiled to Lingnan for a year and then pardoned!
"Yes!" Su Buqing was both expectant and nervous, and it took him a while to open the sealing wax.
Seeing the letter of appointment inside, he looked up in surprise, his voice trembling, "Sir!"
"What is it?" Dou Jing drank tea calmly.
"Please take a look, sir!" Su Buqing handed over the letter of appointment.
Dou Jing took it with a smile, glanced at it quickly, and was stunned. "He is the District Commander of the Lingnan Province Grain Administration! He is a fifth-rank official!"
"That's great! That's great!" Dou Jing was even more excited than Su Buqing.
His preference was for Su Buqing. Due to his status, Dou Jing was unable to do anything and could not find any other suitable candidate, so he remained undecided.
But he didn't expect that the person selected by the Ministry of Personnel was Su Buqing!
"Thank you for the promotion!" Su Buqing bowed to Dou Jing to express his gratitude.
"Why should I thank you? The emperor has pardoned your Su family and promoted you. You should thank the emperor!" Dou Jing said happily.
"That's good now. The order has been issued, and I can relax and unwind!
Sir Su, I never thought your Su family would be so powerful in the capital. You should not be underestimated!"
"My Lord, the Su family has no one in the capital. Although my eldest sister-in-law and my wife are from the Du and Wei families of Duling, Jingzhao, they are just side branches with no real ability."
Su Buqing kept wondering in his heart, who helped the Su family to absolve themselves of guilt?
Due to the news blockage, he did not know that his elder brother was urgently recalled to Beijing and his second brother was promoted to the position of Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Works.
