Chapter 574 A new journey
"You guys are a bunch of idiots..."

Xia Lin threw a pile of prospect plans on the table.

He was in a bad mood today. Yesterday, he heard Douyazi say that Tang Baoer was on fire, so he thought about going back to put out the fire. However, he had been abstinent for too long, and was killed in seconds. He was also suspected of being in poor health.

He has been annoyed about this matter since yesterday and is planning when to put his devilish exercise plan back on the agenda.

But the priority now is to curse.

"Ah? Look at what you wrote!?"

He slammed the table with loud bangs, and the middle and high-level officials below stood there dejectedly, lining up to be scolded.

"You all wrote more clearly about brick firing and pouring than anyone else, but when I asked you about the development trends in five to ten years, what did you write? Why, you may not have lived a good life, but you can imagine the good life you can live, but can't you imagine the good life the people can live?"

There was a chief clerk who was in charge of the workshop production. He stepped forward with a droopy look on his face and said, "Master Xia, this is really not our fault. We went down and asked the people, and they said that this is the best life they can live. Now they eat as much as they did during the Chinese New Year. They also said that there are still many people outside who can't get enough food. They don't dare to think about it."

Xia Lin actually laughed out loud when he heard this. He shook his head and waved his hands: "Damn it, they are so cautious even in their dreams. Go tell them, if they don't fucking dream, how can we be a target!"

He threw the shredded dream books at the group of people and said, "Hit them back and rewrite them!"

Of course, his troubles are far more than just these. The closed meeting has ended, and now it is time to start formulating the third five-year development goals, but this group of people don’t even know what the goals are.

These people in the people's livelihood industry were too stingy in their writing, saying that the overall goal for the next five years is to make more money, and then try to buy a donkey for every household.

They actually don't have a real concept of development. When it comes to their professional fields, they try to be as professional as possible, but when it comes to future plans,

Buy a live donkey.

This is the cautious one, and there are also those who brag. Logically speaking, these people in charge of education should be the most elite group of people. Their plan for the next five years is to train 28 top scorers.

Xia Lin threw the cup away, and they were lucky to escape the disaster because of their quick eyes and hands.

"Oh my god."

Xia Lin sat there cursing. Now he understood why most emperors would carry out a purge after the stage of conquering the world.

Sometimes it is not necessary to kill people, but there must always be a group of people who have to go down, because... their abilities can no longer adapt to the intensity of work after a certain stage of development.

They may have done a good job before, but if they continue, it will eventually turn into a farce of "a whole live donkey".

"Change people!" Xia Lin took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and began to write the "Guiding Program on the Rejuvenation of Regional Officials."

In fact, there will indeed be many problems when a place develops on its own. After all, there are limitations of the times. Fuliang has been around for ten years, and the people who were promoted at the beginning are now somewhat useless.

The vision and pattern can no longer keep up with the pace of overall development, so the entire region needs younger blood to gradually replace those people and ideas that cannot keep up with the times.

This is not to say that Xia Lin is heartless, there is really nothing that can be done about it.

Anyway, he couldn't allow the appearance of another live donkey or twenty-eight top scorers to happen again.

And his ideas may involve the interests of various parties in the court, but here he is the only one who has the final say, and even the emperor cannot do anything about it, because his mass base is already very solid, and there will be no problem in touching anyone.

After a day and a night of screening, he replaced officials in many yamen, including the Public Works Yamen, which was responsible for industrial innovation.

Hey, didn’t they say before that the Public Works Office was managed by people from the academy? Why do they need to change people?
It’s not because these people are not doing a good job, but because they are indeed good in technology, but they are still lacking in struggle and management.

So he replaced the person in charge of the Public Works Office with Dugu Dayun.

That afternoon, Dugu Dayun, who was bored and playing with his children in the yard with an empty bottle to catch grasshoppers, received the letter of appointment.

"Hmm? The Ministry of Works. Me?" Dayun pointed at himself and said, "I am the Minister of Works of Fuliang? Why?"

Douyazi looked bewildered: "I'm not here to be an official. I'm here to take care of the children. I don't know what kind of status I am. It's embarrassing to be such a small official in your place. I don't know what kind of status I am. I don't know what to do."

The people who delivered the letter of appointment to Douya looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment. Douya knew very well in her heart that although she didn't know what Xia Lin was going to do, he must have a conspiracy, and she might want to use her to achieve some purpose.

This kind of thing cannot be done. Douya, who has been immersed in business wars since childhood, has a very sensitive nose for this kind of thing. Xia Lin, that dirty guy, must be up to something.

But even with her keen sense of smell, she still went to work the next day.

Oh, there's nothing I can do. I can't get over it. Didn't she refuse to sign yesterday afternoon? When Xia Lin came back that night, he said he wanted to liquidate the Dugu family's shares in Fuliang. He even produced the liquidation contract, requiring them to be liquidated within three months. If they refused to leave, all their shares would be confiscated.

Douyazi knew Xia Lin very well, and she knew that since this guy had already said it, if she didn't give in, he would start the layoff procedure the next day. This guy was extremely ruthless and would not let her off just because she gave birth to a child for him.

Most of the Dugu family's efforts have been accumulated here. Once they are cleared out, they will face a frenzied encirclement and suppression from other families, and eventually the Dugu family may have to withdraw from the stage of history.

Douyazi was ready to have a big fight with Xia Lin that night, but Xia Lin shut her up with just one sentence.

"Don't forget, when the noble family was wiped out, you were also involved. Whether you are a famous person who loves this land, a loyal and righteous person, or a rat crossing the street that everyone wants to kill, the choice is in your hands."

There was no other way. Douyazi could only get up early the next day and go to work. She was a hereditary duke, and a real Jinshi, and she was a seventh-rank official. To be honest, she felt a little embarrassed. If she wanted to be an official, whether it was Li Tang or Tian Wei, they all started at the fourth rank. Yuan Shao had three dukes in four generations, and he could draw his sword against Dong. His Dugu family had seven dukes in seven generations, and they were the most likely family in the world to compete for the throne!
Arriving at the Public Works Office, Dugu Han looked at the people who came out to greet him, sighed helplessly, and then waved at them: "Come in and talk."

Coming into the house, Dugu Han tilted his head and said with disdain, "No need to say more, you can tell who I am by looking at my last name. I was forced to come here by that bastard. To be honest, I am a Jinshi, and I was a third place winner in the imperial examination. Ah, now I come to your place to be a seventh-rank official. To be honest, I feel very wronged, but there is no way. Your Xia family knelt on the ground and begged me to come with tears and snot, so I had no choice but to do it."

Douyazi spoke his opening words while shaking his head, and a feeling of disdain was overwhelming.

"I still say the same thing. I don't know anything about your engineering affairs. Just do what you are supposed to do. Don't ask me. It's useless to ask. And then, I just come here to report on weekdays. I don't care about the salary. Anyway, just don't bother me." Dugu Han said and waved his hand: "Dismiss!"

After saying that, she strolled into her room in the yamen and took a nap. She kept comforting herself in her heart that as long as she didn't have to take care of the children, wouldn't it be better to do something better than lying in the grass and catching grasshoppers?
It just so happens that this place is quiet and peaceful, so she can continue her unfinished dream of becoming a novelist here.

The Brothel Dream has not been finished yet, and now she has a different inspiration, which is to create a villain named Huang Xiasheng in it, who specifically opposes the heroine and is so evil that it is disgusting.

Inspiration came to her, and she started writing. Just when she wrote the chapter "Huang Xiasheng bullies a brothel girl, Lord Du comes to the rescue", there was a knock on the door.

Dugu Han raised his head impatiently: "Come in."

At this moment, the former head of the Public Works Office came in and said with a smile, "Lord Dugu, here are the files that the Public Works Office needs you to handle these days."

"Didn't I tell you not to bother me unless it's important?"

"But this is the most important matter." The former head of the group said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's about silver. Lord Dugu needs you to contact them."

"Silver? Who should I contact?"

"The county audit office is unwilling to approve money for us, so many projects cannot be carried out."

"Why not approve it?" Dugu Han asked curiously, "He said no, so he didn't approve it? Why are you so cowardly?"

These words left the original person in charge with nothing but an awkward smile.

"Put your things here."

The files that were piled up here without any funding were as high as bean sprouts. She was too lazy to look at the projects when she picked them up, and just looked at the total amount directly.

She laughed when she saw this. All these things only cost 100,000 taels? 100,000 taels was not worth her slamming the table and challenging those idiots.

"It's just a small amount of money."

Dugu Han just gave a call and someone sent over 200,000 taels of silver over. Of course, she also knew that public accounts and private accounts could not be mixed together, but would this be difficult for Douyazi?

Douyazi asked someone to go to the Commerce Office and set up a business with a public-private partnership structure. Then the money would be considered the cooperation fund between Fuliang Shanshui Business and Fuliang Public Works Office, with an investment of 200,000 taels and the Public Works Office investing in technology, accounting for half of the shares.

So, isn't this just a shell business? Then, Dugu Han, in the name of the head of the Public Works Office, withdrew 100,000 taels of silver that they had earned in exchange for their technology from this shell business and put it into the public account.

The account was settled at that time...

Moreover, public-private partnership is an officially permitted activity. The whole thing was done and completed on the same day, which did not prevent Douyazi from continuing to write her erotic novels.

It was just that when it came to naming this newly established business, there was a bit of chance involved, so Douyazi just casually named it - Dongfeng.

There is only one chapter today. I should be free tomorrow, so I will try to finish four chapters to vent my anger.
