"It's you..." Zhou Sheng stared at the other person for a long time, "When
things are up, what are you still looking for me to do?"
The visitor was the son of Chen Qiran, who had worked with him in the past and
chanted poetry.
After he came back from Shangyuan, he naturally thought about pulling his
brothers aside. After he went to Gyeonggi as an official, everyone could
follow along. Unexpectedly, in just over two months, these partners all
changed their temperament. Not only did they reject his kindness, they also
advised him not to oppose Jin Xia, especially the Lord Fu Cheng of the Bureau
of Affairs.
After that, they simply chose not to see him behind closed doors, not even
accepting his posts. This near-breaking behavior made Zhou Sheng stunned,
knowing that when he left Yancheng, they still sent each other ten miles, and
flattered that he must be high school. The two attitudes are so different that
the talented Zhou has often scolded each other for treachery.
"I have left the door stickers before, but I have never received a response.
This time I tried to push the door and found that the door was unlocked..."
Young Master Chen seemed to want to explain why he entered without telling me.
Zhou Sheng interrupted him directly, "If you have something to say, why are
you here?"
The other party showed a bitter smile, "Master Zhou, don't you ask me to sit
in the house?"
He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "There is no tea."
"Ordinary cold water will do."
The two returned to the house. Zhou Sheng poured a glass of water for each
other. Even if the group turned their faces and refused to recognize them, he
thought he was a gentleman, and he still had to perform the proper etiquette.
"Now you can talk about it."
Young Master Chen hesitated for a moment, "I saw your name on the house
transaction register...Are you going to sell this mansion?"
Zhou Sheng couldn't help but stared, "How can you see?" But the next moment he
came to an epiphany, "Are you working for the bureau?"
"Yes, I am a recorder in the housing and construction department, although not
a serious official, but it is also a stable position, much better than the
idleness in the past." Chen Qiran answered fifty to ten.
Zhou Sheng felt the blue veins on his forehead faintly jump.
Could this guy come to the door today to humiliate himself on purpose?
Back then, he said he would take the exam for fame and glory together, but now
he has voted for the rebels!
"So what?" The talented Zhou gritted his teeth.
"If you are really short of money, I can help you a little bit, and Young
Master Hu and Young Master Lin should also be able to help a little bit." Gu
"No need!" He snorted and interrupted the other party again. That's right, he
is indeed short of money, so that he has to register and sell Zhou Mansion to
solve his urgent needs, but this is also a proof of his loyalty to the court.
It is impossible for the rebels to win forever. When the right way is reshaped
and everything is clear, his efforts will surely be rewarded a hundredfold.
"Yes..." Young Master Chen sighed, "If you want to come to Zhou Dazhi, you
won't want this plain fortune. Actually, I have another way to get you out of
trouble. Recently, the construction department is forming a new team. If you
want to repair a brand new water supply system, the manpower is very tight. I
think with your abilities, with a little training, you can take on the
important roles in the team, which is definitely better than me..."
Is he recruiting himself for the rebels?
Simply absurd!
"I remember that fellow Xia Fan said that the bureau doesn't need to take fame
and fame?"
"This was the case at the beginning, but now the standards have been relaxed."
Chen Qiran explained, "As long as there is no criminal record, you can report
to the bureau. However, the assessment I waited for will be more stringent,
and the road to promotion has not come out of the school. That group of
graduates went so well."
It’s hard to understand... Zhou Sheng shook his head inconceivably. Although
Young Master Chen is a bit poor in his studies, he is also a serious scholar.
Now he is fighting for a position in the rebellion regime with a bunch of mud-
legged guys, and he seems to be in a relationship with You Rongyan. , This is
too ironic!
But what is the water supply system?
Is there a risk of water shortage in Jinxia City?
After listening to his question, Chen Qiran took the initiative to explain,
“Of course not. Yancheng is close to the sea and Jiujiang passes by in the
northwest. There is definitely no shortage of water. But now there are more
and more residential buildings, and the number of floors has increased from
one to the other. On the third floor, fetching water has become a rather
inconvenient thing. The Secretariat intends to solve this problem so that
residents can use clean water without leaving their homes."
Just for this reason?
Zhou Sheng was stunned. Several companies shared a well. Isn't it normal to
fill up the water tank every day? That's right, the building has been repaired
to the third floor, but the three-story building is not uncommon in the past!
Like restaurants, inns, and spring buildings, there are all repaired to the
fourth or fifth floor. Didn’t they rely on people to carry water up bucket by
bucket? Has anyone found this inconvenient for hundreds of years?
"Are you sure?" He frowned, "How do I get water without leaving home? The
bureau will not deliver water to the door by itself?"
"No, it's more magical than that!" Speaking of this, Young Master Chen
suddenly became energetic, and he excitedly said, "Residents don't even need
to prepare buckets and water tanks, as long as they turn on the switch, water
can gush out of the pipe directly. Deliver it to your home! And a few switches
can be installed in a family's home. You can fetch water wherever you want,
which is very convenient! I was still thinking about why these newly built
residential buildings will reserve a shaft that runs through the whole
building. It is neither for people to pass, nor is it like a place where dirt
is dumped. It was later discovered that this thing was actually premeditated!"
"Wait, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is this a plan or did you see it with your
own eyes?" Zhou Sheng was extremely surprised. According to the other party,
this is definitely an extremely cumbersome big project. The population of
Jinxia City is now swollen and even more crowded than Shangyuan City. If you
want to let everyone have running water in their homes, you would have to
spend hundreds of thousands of taels of silver on the masonry materials alone.
What's more, the water thing is in an indeterminate form and is very easy to
leak. He has only heard that some large households will deliberately make
running water culverts, so that people in the inner courtyard can also use
water and sewage conveniently. The bureau plans to make ordinary people use
it. It's whimsical.
"Of course I saw it with my own eyes!" Chen Gongzi vibrated, "If I hadn't
actually seen it, I wouldn't believe that the Bureau could actually do this. I
heard that the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering kept the water flowing in the
pipeline. The organs provided can continuously inject water into the pipes,
and the pipes are divided into main and sub-managers. The latter is made of
bamboo and combined with each other with glue, so it is very fast to
manufacture. The bureau is to verify that it is feasible. Sex, I also built a
building on the edge of Jiujiang River, even if it is five stories high, the
water can climb up without any effort."
"What about the cost?" Zhou Sheng questioned, "I think this thing should cost
a lot of money?"
"You don't need a penny." Chen Qiran replied, "The bureau will bear all
expenses. Only residents who waste water will charge punitive fees."
