Chapter 386 The new county magistrate is an acquaintance
Wantong and the others are gone, Wu Youwei can't waste time here, the construction is still going on, and he has a great tendency to continue to expand Shanghai County.
As a result, within a few days after Wantong and the others left, the county magistrate of Qingpu County was sent from above.
Since there is no magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture and Huating County, only Shanghai County has a magistrate, so the newly appointed magistrate brought his family to visit Wu Youwei.
After Wu Youwei saw the person, he was dumbfounded!
"What? I don't recognize you anymore?" The visitor said with a smile, "Or, you don't recognize him?"
"Brother Ying Ning?" Wu Youwei almost jumped up: "Why are you here?"
The people who came were Yang Yiqing and Yang Yingning who were on the same list as Wu Youwei.
Although Wu Youwei remembered that he seemed to be a member of Zhongshushe at the beginning, but now he was sent to Qingpu County, he suddenly felt that history is not easy to be taken lightly!
"I'm here to take up my post." Yang Yiqing said with a smile, "The emperor personally chose him. Many people rushed to come here, but in the end they decided on me."
Because Emperor Xianzong said that Yang Yiqing had a good relationship with Maid Wu, they were both on the same list in the same year, and they had a very close personal relationship.
Nowadays, the rapid development of Shanghai County can be described as "changing with each passing day". The most wonderful thing is that although the tax is exempted, the income from Shanghai County to the imperial court has greatly exceeded the amount due to taxation.
Just because Shanghai Wei went out for a stroll, the pirate treasures he looted were worth ten years of taxes in Shanghai County.
And the result of doing so is that the imperial court has gained fame and benefits, and the common people have no burden to say that the emperor is good.
The courtiers had nothing to say, but the generals were proud, and the civil servants were also happy that the treasury of the household department was abundant.
Even the sailors had their pockets bulging.
The only ones who have lost are probably the pirates.
But who cares about them?
"You are the magistrate of Qingpu County?" Wu Youwei suddenly realized: "No wonder you didn't mention your name when you arrived. This is a surprise for me!"
"No! No!" Yang Yiqing shook his head: "At that time, no candidate had been decided, so it was just an announcement.
Wu Youwei said cheerfully: "Anyway, you are here now, let's go, go into the room and talk!"
Welcoming him into the backyard of the county yamen, anyway, now that Laba and his family have moved away, there are no women in the backyard except for a few maids and servants.
Yang Yiqing really brought his family here, one child, one daughter-in-law, three servants, six or seven servant girls, eight or nine women, and a dozen nursing homes.
After entering, they took their seats, and Madam Yang took these people out to distribute them. They were just passing by, but there was no need to pass by, but Yang Yiqing still took a detour and came to Shanghai County.
After seeing the difference in Shanghai County and Wu Youwei with my own eyes, I really believed that those memorials were true, and even what was said was not detailed enough or good enough.
Only when you actually arrive in Shanghai do you know how good Shanghai is.
Along the way, he has seen countless piers, but none of them has such a good Shanghai County.
The other wharves are full of people, bustling and bustling, but the people who come and go are basically the coolies on the wharf, but Shanghai County is orderly, even the coolies at the wharf wear uniform clothes, and the asking price is also uniform. Bivalent.Other wharves are full of human defecation, but Shanghai County Wharf has a lot of public toilets, and the public toilets are particularly clean.
There are bound to be local snakes on other docks, but there are no bad people at the docks in Shanghai County.
Along the way, he also saw a lot elsewhere, but compared with Shanghai County, he was compared to his grandma's house.
"I'm here to learn scriptures!" Yang Yiqing said, "Magistrate Wu, don't cherish yourself!"
He didn't use "I treasure myself", because Shanghai County is good enough, and it doesn't have the word "I treasure".
"Where!" Wu Youwei was overjoyed: "I can help others, but you and I will not be polite."
After the invitation came to the study room, the two of them were not polite. Yang Yiqing drank a cup and said: "This time, I want Qingpu County to develop like Shanghai County. You also know that Qingpu County has a better foundation than Shanghai County. , but I'm not as rich and powerful as you.
"Of course, the success of Shanghai County cannot be copied." Wu Youwei was proud: "But Qingpu County also has its advantages."
As mentioned earlier, Qingpu has a good geographical location, and the upper and lower areas are all large places. Qingpu is located in the Yangtze River Delta, which has a subtropical marine monsoon climate. The dominant wind is the southeast wind all year round. The climate is mild, with sufficient sunshine, four distinct seasons, and abundant rainfall.
In the east-west direction of Qingpu, there are Dianpu River, Maohejing River, Taipu River and Shangda River.There are West Daying River and East Daying River in the north-south direction, and the waterways are well developed.
Although Wu Youwei had never been to Qingpu County, he knew it quite well, and it was a treasured place of geomantic omen.
Hearing what Wu Youwei said, Yang Yiqing was relieved: "I just heard that there is only a shallow beach...and it's far away.
That's why, when pirates and Japanese pirates rob, Qingpu County is not the first choice. The shallows are too annoying.
And it's too far away, but Fucheng is very close.
They were also afraid of being made dumplings when they went there.
If they hadn't been pushed by Wantong last time, they wouldn't have gone to Qingpu County to search.
Before entering the county, he was startled away by the reinforcements.
"What are you afraid of?" Wu Youwei smiled and said, "Do you think Wusongkou is far away?"
"Of course it's far away." He saw it when he came.
They disembarked at the wharf at Wusongkou. I don’t know why, they went up the Huangpu River, crossed the Shanghai county, and then went along the waterway to Wusongkou wharf, and then went back to Shanghai county. This design Yang Yiqing was very puzzled, so he asked.
"That's to let people know how good Shanghai County is." Wu Youwei smiled wryly: "When I came here, the county towns here existed in name only, and if the villages and villages were not all people with the same surname, there would probably be no one there, so But anyone who wants to go to Wusongkou must pass through Shanghai County, how about the scenery along the Huangpu River?"
"Beautiful!" Yang Yiqing was sure of this.
In early spring, magnolias bloom along both sides of the Huangpu River.
Since ancient times, the land of Wuyue has been full of flowers and flowers, and Wu Youwei has specially done greening, which is of course beautiful.
And there must be no business along the river, it is a walking road.
However, there is a long distance between the two sides, and there is a row of willow trees. Behind the willow trees is the commercial street, which is very lively, and it is also very prosperous at ordinary times.
This kind of design is very attractive, many people go there to take a look.
And the various shops over there are even stricter, not to mention that there are only teahouses, taverns, and snack shops there, but there are no brothels and gambling houses.
Many scholars also like to go there for recreation.
There are storytellers in the teahouse, listening to a particularly refreshing story about the Ming army smashing the Japanese pirates, the Ming army raiding the pirates' lair, and so on.
It is a crowded place day and night.
Wu Youwei specially built a leisure street
"You can also get one in your Qingpu County!" Wu Youwei told him the beauty of that street, and emphasized one point in particular: "There must be no bad business, so what kind of brothel and Chuguan are there?" , Casinos don’t want it at all.”
"You don't have any here?" Yang Yiqing was really surprised when he heard this.
Since ancient times, I have never seen any county that does not have these two kinds of business, food and sex; people like to get something for nothing, and gambling can make people do this.
"Not at all." Wu Youwei said seriously: "You have to do it there."
"Okay!" Yang Yiqing agreed without thinking.
"You have to do what you say. Qingpu County is not like Shanghai County. I have rebuilt Shanghai County. Qingpu County...is not so convenient." As far as he knows, there are three brothels there. There are two casinos, one casino.These are all historical issues left over by the county magistrate and county magistrate.
"I have a plan for my visit this time." Yang Yiqing said: "If Qingpu County has a seaport, of course it will provoke pirates and others, so I would like to ask Lord Wan to send Wan Baqian to defend the city. Second, give me momentum, there is a large army stationed in the city, let's see who dares to bark my teeth with me!"
Wu Youwei was immediately amused by his gritted teeth: "Okay, okay!"
But in his heart, he felt that Yang Yiqing, who had ruled the border for [-] years, might be loved by the border officers and soldiers because he felt that military power was important in his heart.
"You said the county seat is far away from the shallows, so you can expand it!" After laughing at him, Wu Youwei pointed him out: "I also expanded the county seat of Shanghai, so that the Wusongkou side is closer to the county seat of Shanghai. Nearby, it is now called the old city, and the newly built one is called the new city, and it will be expanded in the future. .
The two chatted enthusiastically, and they were called out of the study by the butler...it was time to eat.
After eating, I went back to the front yard like conjoined twins. While walking to digest my food, I brought up business again. This time I was talking about people's livelihood issues. It's a bit of work, but you can plant fruit trees and go fishing in the sea. He needs a lot of sea fish here, and canned sea fish and fruit need raw materials.
Besides, you can also open a factory.
Silk factories, yarn weaving factories, and thread spinning factories can all be used.
The conversation was so good that Yang Yiqing wanted to sleep with Wu Youwei, but Wu Youwei immediately refused: "If you still want Wantong to send you troops, don't sleep with me.
Yang Yiqing choked, then asked him cautiously: "The rumors are true?"
Wu Youwei was taken aback: "What rumor?"
"You and that...Master Wan....You two..." Yang Yiqing was a little ashamed to speak, he had never experienced such a thing, gossip about other people's private life in front of people, it's a bit too that.
"The two of us are together, just like normal people." Wu Youwei said generously, "If Ying Ning feels uncomfortable, you don't need to think about it.
Of course, if he had any other reaction, Wu Youwei would not talk to him again in the future.
"So we're together?" Yang Yiqing asked Wu Youwei by surprise.
"En." Wu Youwei nodded.
"Oh, that's good." Yang Yiqing said: "Anyway, we've been together for so many years, so I think he won't let you down.
He regarded himself as his natal family: "But if he dares to bully you, we won't let it go!"
Wu Youwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "He won't, you should go back quickly, you just arrived here today, and the family members don't know what to do, so go back and comfort your wife and children.
Yang Yiqing quickly got up and left, he was also worried about his wife and children.
After Wu Youwei washed up, he lay on the bed, closed his eyes, and thought of Yang Yiqing's reaction, he couldn't help but chuckled, it's nice to have a lover and a friend.
Yang Yiqing took his family to rest in Shanghai County for half a month. He walked around Shanghai County in the first seven days, and stayed for another three days to study and work with Wu Youwei in the yamen.
For another five days, I visited ports, factories, docks, and even public toilets!
Seeing it, he was envious: "It would be great if Qingpu County could be so prosperous.
"Yes, as long as you work hard to build it, it will get better!" Wu Youwei said: "Don't worry, I will help you."
But having said that, Yang Yiqing couldn't do it overnight.
In the end, Wu Youwei dispatched 5000 of the 1000 people left behind by Wantong, plus 2000 seconded from the navy, making up 3000 troops, and another 100 from his own guards were transferred to Yang Yiqing. In addition to the people he brought along, as well as some soft clothes, he marched into the boundary of Qingpu County.
Wu Youwei sent him off, and when he turned around, he happily went to the office of the county government, and announced to all the civil servants: "Start now, build a bus and carriage!"
