Women Wearing Men: The Growth Path of the Bastards of the Aristocratic Family

Fu Zida is a typical literati image, with fair skin and a thin figure. Standing in front of the dark and rugged Qiu Wugang, he is as thin as a chicken.Qiu Wugang clearly had the advantage in size, but he was stunned by the determination and grief in Fu Zida's eyes, and a trace of unnoticeable guilt flashed across his face.

It is normal for military attachés to look down on civilian officials because of their hard work. Qiu Wugang said it casually, but he didn't expect Fu Zida to be so insensitive. After being humiliated a little, he wanted to show his heart to him, and instead made Qiu Wugang unable to get off the stage.

Looking at Fu Zida's red eyes, Qiu Wugang felt a faint sense of regret in his heart, but he couldn't save the face to apologize to him. The scene was very embarrassing for the moment.

Gu Yunji stood up at the right time and asked Qiu Wugang: "Excuse me... what is the name of this general?"

Qiu Wugang cleared his throat uncomfortably and said: "Shaoxing Guards Command Qian Shi, Qiu Wugang."

At the same level, military attachés generally have a higher rank than civilian officials, which is also one of the sources of their arrogance.The purpose of the establishment of the Shaoxing Guards Station is to protect Shaoxing Prefecture, perform patrols, defend against Japanese pirates and other tasks.

The highest officer of the guard station is the commander, then the commander, and then the commander. The commander's official rank is the fourth rank, and he is on an equal footing with the prefect. No wonder Qiu Wugang was so rude to Fu Zida.

Gu Yunji understood what was said, smiled and cupped his hands at him: "It turns out to be General Qiu."

Qiu Wugang looked at Gu Yunji unscrupulously and looked at him condescendingly: "Who are you?"

Gu Yunji looked down at the crimson official uniform he was wearing, then looked up at Qiu Wugang, raised his eyebrows, and said "Isn't my identity obvious enough?" all over his face.

Only officials of fourth rank and above can wear red official uniforms. Who else could Gu Yunji be besides the prefect?
Seeing that Qiu Wugang looked a little embarrassed, Gu Yunji still introduced himself considerately: "My name is Gu Yunji, and I am the new prefect of Shaoxing Prefecture. Today is the first day on duty. General Qiu has never seen me before."

Hearing this, Qiu Wugang curled his lips and muttered casually: "I thought who the newly appointed governor of Shaoxing was, but he turned out to be a pretty boy again."

Qiu Wugang's voice was relatively soft, but Gu Yunji still heard it clearly, but he didn't want to argue with the other party about this. Quan pretended not to hear and returned to the previous topic: "Just now, General Qiu said that he came this time to... build roads. What happened? "What happened?"

Fu Zida said: "Mr. Gu, you have just arrived and don't know much about it yet. Let me introduce it to you."

After Fu Zida's explanation, Gu Yunji probably understood what was going on.

Japanese pirates were rampant. In order to ensure the safety of the people along the coast, the guards set up long-term camps in some important geographical locations to respond to possible Japanese pirates at any time.The distribution of these camps is relatively scattered, and grain, grass and military supplies mainly rely on the unified transportation of the guards and regular supplies.

When going to one of the camps, you have to pass through a swamp. The road is very difficult to repair. Not only does it cost a lot of money, but the stones used to consolidate the roadbed are also difficult to find. It is difficult to complete the construction in a short time.

For emergency purposes, wooden planks connected with ropes were laid on the swamp, which could barely be used as a road.However, the carrying capacity of this kind of boardwalk is extremely poor. Cars and horses cannot move on it, so it can only be carried on human backs. Even so, it is often damaged, and the road is often blocked, affecting the transportation of materials.

Fu Zida said: "To completely solve the problem, we have to use large pieces of hard stone to deposit it at the bottom of the swamp, and then fill it with gravel and sand, so as to consolidate the roadbed bit by bit."

"Although the swamp is not large in area, the demand for stones is huge, and the common local stones are relatively soft in texture. If they are soaked in water for a long time, they will easily break and eventually sink. ." Gu Yunji thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any other way to go?"

Fu Zida said: "Yes, there is, but it is too far and circuitous, and it will pass through a large dense forest. It is very likely to be ambushed and attacked by Japanese pirates. In comparison, the road through the swamp is safer and faster."

It sounds a bit tricky indeed.

Gu Yunji frowned slightly and said thoughtfully: "If the stone is not available locally, can we buy it from other places?"

Before Fu Zida could answer, Qiu Wugang interrupted with a loud voice: "Why not? There is a bluestone production area in Jinhua Mansion next door to us. Bluestone is hard and often used as building materials. It can even be used to repair houses. Why can't it be used for it? Consolidate the roadbed?”

"Obviously there is a ready-made solution here, but they just refuse to do it. From the beginning of the year to now, they have been dragging it back and forth, almost half a year, and the road is still not repaired! The transportation of materials is extremely difficult. Once the boardwalk was suddenly damaged, and the food transportation was If you don’t go there, hundreds of brothers in our camp will almost starve to death there!”

Listening to Qiu Wugang's accusation, Gu Yunji glanced at him unexpectedly, turned to Fu Zida and asked, "Is that so?"

Fu Zida showed a wry smile: "Sir, can we not know that bluestone is a suitable material? But firstly, the price of bluestone is high, which greatly increases the financial burden of the government. Secondly, the supply of bluestone in Jinhua Mansion exceeds demand, and the raw materials are tight, so we can't arrange it. Take the number."

"It happened that the former magistrate Mr. Wu had taken office, and you had not yet taken office. Our government officials wrote letters and negotiated with the officials of Jinhua Mansion several times. As a result, they saw that our magistrate was not here and ignored us at all. It was very difficult for us to handle. Na."

After going around and around, Gu Yunji didn't expect that he still had his own pot.

Although he took office on time and did not exceed the time limit stipulated by the court, it was indeed due to the handover of the position of prefect that the bluestone purchase was repeatedly blocked, and he also bore an indirect responsibility to some extent.

After hearing the whole story, Gu Yunji said: "So that's it, that's just right. Now that I've arrived, I can immediately write to the prefect of Jinhua Prefecture and ask them to prioritize the transfer of a batch of bluestone raw materials, and the price can be easily negotiated. After all, the two state capitals are close to each other, so they should help each other."

With that said, Gu Yunji turned to Qiu Wugang: "As for the swamp, before the bluestones are transported back, I would like to ask General Qiu to be considerate and continue to use the boardwalk for the time being to deal with emergencies."

"What? We still need to use the boardwalk?!" Qiu Wugang raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction, "The boardwalk has been used for almost half a year, when will it be used? The brothers at the health center walked back and forth shoulder-to-shoulder. Carrying it on your back makes you feel as tired as an animal. It doesn’t feel bad for someone whose feelings are not yours, right?”

Gu Yunji tried his best to be polite and said: "I can't guarantee the time. I can only say it will be as soon as possible. After all, I don't know much about the situation in Jinhua Mansion yet. But don't worry, General Qiu, we will definitely solve the road issue. of."

Qiu Wugang was unyielding: "Last time you came here, you used the same rhetoric. Are you coming again this time? You only said that it would be solved, but you didn't say when. Solving it tomorrow is called solving, and solving it in ten years is also called solving. Don't try to fool me. I!"

"How long will the boardwalk last? When will the bluestone come back? When will the road construction start? Let me tell you, if you don't explain these issues to me clearly today, I will not leave because of you!"
