Chapter 430 Healthy Competition

An County

Xian Feng and another young man from the same tribe were preparing to board the ship at the An County dock.

At this time, the two of them were carrying a large box in their hands. The things in the box were the supplies that their tribe urgently needed but were difficult to buy. In addition to the box, there were the luggage they needed along the way.

They had to go back to the tribe and return with a mission.

In addition, they had been out for so long that they couldn't even send a letter back. It was the New Year, and the chief and the elders of the tribe must be very worried.

The reason why they went back was mainly because Uncle Xue was old and it was not good to travel in the winter. In addition, there were many things in Pingzhou, so it was not good for him to leave for too long.

Alice had a high martial arts value, so she was suitable to go back with him, but she had to protect Mrs. Qin Liu now, so she couldn't leave.

And they could do the things that Uncle Er told them to do.

Houcheng, Liaodong Academy

Shanzhang Pan Sitong announced that the academy would be on holiday from tomorrow, and asked them to go home quickly and not stay in the academy any longer.

After saying that, he went out with his hands behind his back.

As soon as he left, the students started discussing.

"Hey, our academy is also going to start the holiday."

"Our academy is the last to go on holiday." The main reason is that the students are reluctant to leave the academy too early.

"I think it's good, I can go back and spend time with my family."

...

Ding Jun and Zhou Yi were packing up while listening to the students' discussion.

The two were managers of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, not students of Liaodong Academy. They came to take classes and came whenever they were free.

Before, their president encouraged them to read more and also greeted the academy. The academy gave them an identity card so that they could come and go freely.

They were also conscious and sat in the back every time they came, trying not to disturb the teachers and students in front.

After packing up, the two discussed giving some New Year gifts to the headmaster and the teachers.

The New Year is coming soon. Although Liaodong Academy has already given a New Year gift to the headmaster and the teachers, the gifts are from the academy, and they are giving their thoughts. These days, they really bothered the headmaster and the teachers.

"We are about to leave the academy, let's go to Wuzilou to borrow a few more books?" Ding Jun suggested that each of them could only borrow two books each time, and it would be nice to read books at home during the New Year.

Zhou Yi nodded, "Okay, we'll go in a while. Wu Zongguan wrote to me and asked me to lend him a copy of "Gongsun Longzi"."

Ning Changge had been listening for a while, and couldn't help but talk, "Do all the managers of your Liaodong Chamber of Commerce love reading so much?"

He found that these people who came to take classes were no less hardworking than them.

If he had been to the future, he would know a word - involution.

Ding Jun laughed.

"Haha, isn't it because my family was poor when I was a child and I couldn't afford to go to school? Now I finally have the opportunity, so I want to learn more." Zhou Yi explained with a smile.

Ding Jun followed up by saying, "Everyone is working hard to improve themselves. If you don't work hard, others are working hard, and you will be left behind."

And before, when President Lu encouraged them to read more and learn more, he said that the positions of Liaodong Chamber of Commerce should be filled by those who are capable. Now the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is still small, and they can still do it for the time being. In the future, the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will develop better and better, and the plate will become bigger and bigger. If they don't keep up with the progress, their work will become more and more difficult.

When that time comes, those who are capable will go up, and those who are incapable and incompetent will go down.

President Lu also said that it is not to ignore these old people and not remember the old feelings. They are all veterans. As long as the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce is still there, they will have a bite to eat, but more will not.

After Ning Changge came to Liaodong County, he found that it was really a very inclusive place, and the people here were very positive and passionate, and everyone was trying their best to climb up.

The two people in front of him gave him this feeling again.

He had to admit that Liaodong County was really a very charming and attractive place.

A while ago, Lord Lv Desheng was promoted from Liaodong County Governor to Pingzhou Governor, and the other three counties in Pingzhou began a vigorous bandit suppression operation.

After the Liaodong Army eliminated all the local bandit troubles, Lord Lv, as the Governor of Pingzhou, issued a decree to help the people in the other three counties to build kangs, and also started a large-scale conscription.

Both of these things require a large number of manpower, and the people who are assigned to do these two things are mainly from Liaodong County, and the manpower is not drawn from the other three counties. The officials of the other three counties only need to maintain the daily operation of the county.

In this way, the grassroots manpower in Liaodong County is insufficient.

So the government decided to recruit outstanding students from Liaodong Academy to help.

In the words of the government, it is to give them the opportunity to participate in assisting the management of the local area.

This is enough to make the students excited, and they will also receive subsidies for helping. As a result, after the announcement of this matter, countless students signed up for the recruitment. Ning Changge is one of them.

As a deputy, he mainly assisted Chen Yue, the deputy official. Chen Yue was in charge of laying kangs for the people in Lelang County. During that time, from Liaodong County to Lelang County, he learned a lot and grew up.

After he went deep into the grassroots people, he really felt the gap in living standards between the people in the two counties.

He also knew that before Lu Daren took office, the living standards of the people in Liaodong County and Lelang County were not much different. In just one year, Liaodong County has undergone such a big change.

He deeply admired the governing ability of the Liaodong County officials headed by Lu Desheng, and felt that there were many things he could learn from them.

He was now willing to stay in Pingzhou. He wanted to learn more and benefit the village in the future.

Wu Ren, who was far away in Qingzhou, sneezed hard.

The shop in Nanyang has been opened.

The things made by the Seventh Institute of Technology are all very good products for the areas where they are put into use, and the price is also very beautiful, so there is no worry about sales.

After sorting out the things over there, he returned to Qingzhou again.

This was Lu Songli's request. Nanyang is indeed a place that military strategists must fight for since ancient times, but Qingzhou is closer to the fortress and more important. In the future, if their territory is to expand, it must go to Youzhou in the west. The importance of Qingzhou is self-evident.

At this time, Wu Ren was saying goodbye to the teacher and made an appointment to come to teach next year.

He was not short of money now, and wanted to learn more, so he invited a famous teacher in Qingzhou to teach him one-on-one.

Wu Ren prepared a New Year gift for the teacher and personally sent him out.

He had just received a letter from his master, asking him to send some supplies to Yanmen to help the victims there, and also asked him to prepare to pick up people. He would be busy with the victims who left Yanmen to make a living, and it was almost the New Year, so he asked the teacher to take a break.

At this time, Ji Dashao and Tao Xun came together.

Wu Ren sent the teacher away and led the two into the house.

The two sat down, the servants served tea, and Wu Ren tidied up the books on the table.

Young Master Ji said speechlessly, "Madam Qin Liu currently has only you as her disciple. Is it necessary to be so diligent?"

"Yes. My master does have only me as his disciple now, but it's not like he can't accept more disciples. I will definitely have junior brothers and sisters in the future."

"Even if Madam Qin Liu accepts more disciples, they can't surpass you, the eldest brother. You are now the general manager of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. It's okay that you read books all the time. You also ask the master to teach you and leave a way out for others."

"I leave a way out for them?" Wu Ren laughed, "You don't know that the little bastards under me are all eyeing the position under my buttocks, and they all hope to replace me."

"My master said that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and the waves ahead die on the beach. Do you believe it or not? If I don't work harder, if I slack off, I may become the wave ahead who died on the beach one day."

"Is the competition in your Liaodong Chamber of Commerce so fierce?" Tao Xun was dumbfounded.

Wu Ren smiled but said nothing.

Young Master Ji thought of the president of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, Madam Qin Liu, as well as the generous treatment and fair promotion mechanism of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce. It is not difficult to understand why the people in it are working so hard.

Young Master Ji let go of this thought and asked Wu Ren, "Has Madam Qin Liu written to you?"

Wu Ren nodded.

Young Master Ji sighed, "My father also wrote to me about the snow disaster in Yanmen."

The two did not avoid Tao Xun and began to discuss the relief supplies shipped to Yanmen and the rescue of the victims who escaped from Yanmen.

A quarter of an hour later, Wu Ren said, "It's settled. The relief supplies for Yanmen this time are mainly food and charcoal." They also lack winter clothes. The main way to keep warm in Liaodong County and even the entire Pingzhou is the kang.

Young Master Ji: "Well, our Ji family donated 3,000 jin of charcoal."

Wu Ren: "Then our Liaodong Chamber of Commerce will donate 10,000 dan of grain."

According to the current grain price in Qingzhou, 10,000 dan of grain is 1.2 million jin, which is 20,000 taels. It's not that I don't want to donate more, but it's mainly because it's snowing heavily and it's very difficult to transport grain.

"In addition, my master said to donate a batch of pills for treating colds."

At this time, Tao Xun said, "The things donated by your two families are urgently needed by the people of Yanmen. I will also donate some supplies and do my best."

Wu Ren and Young Master Ji persuaded him in turn.

"Do what you can."

"Yes, you can't compare to our Ji family's wealth and wealth."

Tao Xun: ...
