Chapter 528: Compensating for the Shape with the Shape

Jiang Yizhou was off duty, dragging his tired body towards his own house.

He told his deputy, "I must go to the governor's office tomorrow."

He wanted to protest that there were too many tasks assigned to him! He had trouble sleeping recently, his hair was falling out, his eyes were bloodshot, his eye bags were becoming more and more obvious, and most importantly, the dark circles under his eyes!

These dark circles were almost as bad as those of an iron-eating beast!

This would have a great impact on his wife-hunting.

The deputy didn't dare to speak at all, as he knew that Lord Jiang was full of resentment at the moment.

Jiang Yizhou didn't care whether his deputy said anything or not, he had made up his mind anyway, and he had to go there to see if he could turn down some of the work, or at least ask the governor to send him more people.

When they returned, they found that the housekeeper was busy.

The housekeeper told him, "These are the annual gifts issued by the Pingzhou government office this year."

"What are they?" Jiang Yizhou sat down and said weakly.

Housekeeper: He looked at them, and they were all brain supplements.

"This is sesame paste. I heard that the main ingredient is sesame, and walnuts and other nuts are added and ground into powder. The people in the government office have told you to eat a bowl every day to nourish your brain."

"The governor asked us to tell you that if you keep eating this black sesame paste, your hair will grow."

Jiang Yizhou touched his hair. It's not impossible to keep eating it. This black sesame paste smells pretty good.

"By the way, they also gave us a recipe for Tianma Pig Brain Soup, and told us to stew it for you from time to time." The housekeeper said again.

Is this to give him a like cure? Jiang Yizhou thought, it would be better to reduce his workload directly instead of tossing all this.

But he knew this was impossible...

"As for your previous protest against the dredging of the fundus and the heavy dark circles, the governor's office also has something to say. The Seventh Institute of Technology has already developed an eye cream to remove dark circles, and it will ensure that you will not have dark circles after applying it. There is also a hair growth liquid that can make your hair thick and will not affect your search for a wife." The housekeeper closed his eyes and repeated what the person from the governor's office had just said.

Jiang Yizhou was stunned, so, this means that he should work peacefully and not make trouble?

"Sir Jiang, are you going to the governor's office tomorrow?" the deputy asked in a low voice.

"What are you going to!" What a tactless guy!

So, the next day, Jiang Yizhou still went to work honestly.

Fortunately, in two days, he can have the annual leave.

After the holiday, he can have a good rest.

Today, Jiang Yizhou still worked expressionlessly.

Guo Chong waited in line for a while, and soon it was his turn to register.

Guo Chong's eyes fell on the silt removal under his eyes, thinking, Pingzhou is so busy?

"Name?"

"My surname is Guo."

"Place of origin?"

"I am from Handan."

"What are you good at?"

"I am a scholar..." Guo Chong briefly introduced himself.

During this period, Jiang Yizhou looked up at him.

Guo Chong's eyes flashed, and he asked, "Is there any work suitable for me?"

Jiang Yizhou took a sip of the tea beside him and said, "Mr. Guo has just arrived in Changli, right? Why don't you rest for two days before considering work?"

"That's fine."

"Does Mr. Guo have a place to stay?"

Guo Chong shook his head, "I haven't had time to check into the inn yet."

"Well, our Pingzhou government office has prepared accommodation for the talented people who come to Pingzhou. If Mr. Guo doesn't mind, you can stay there."

Guo Chong raised his eyebrows, "Okay."

Jiang Yizhou arranged a clerk to take him there.

Guo Chong found that the Pingzhou government office arranged him in a bungalow.

The bungalows were arranged in rows, in a U-shaped structure, and he lived in one of them.

After opening the door and going in, he found that the room was quite spacious. The whole room was divided by bookshelves. There were tables and chairs on one side of the outer room for entertaining guests: on the other side, there were desks and chairs to meet the needs of scholars for reading and writing.

As soon as they arrived, someone brought them hot water.

The young clerk said, "Mr. Guo, you can rest on the chair and drink some hot water. Someone will light up the kang later, and the room will become warmer. Someone will bring you bedding and some toiletries later. You can have dinner in the front, in the second room you just came in. If you need to go to the bathroom, there is a toilet behind the door..."

"Are you so kind to every outsider in Pingzhou?" Guo Chong couldn't help asking.

"That's not true." The clerk thought to himself that there were only a handful of people who had moved in so far.

The clerk was not a talkative person. After seeing that everyone was settled properly, he said goodbye and went back to work.

Later, Guo Chong went to the second room to eat. The rice was bean rice, steamed very soft, and the dishes were a dish of leek tofu and a seaweed egg drop soup.

The cook there told him that he had just arrived, and this meal was a welcome meal for him, so he ate better. There might not be such good food in the future, so he should not be surprised.

Seeing the green chives at this time was really rare for him.

Seeing him like this, the cook and others started chatting with him.

Guo Chong had heard before that vegetables could be grown in Pingzhou in winter. He knew that some hot spring villages could grow vegetables in winter, but before the common people in Pingzhou could also grow vegetables, no one thought of using other methods to grow vegetables in winter without hot springs.

"Growing vegetables in a room with a kang, is this a way to make money? Can you tell everyone about it?" Guo Chong asked.

The cook and others didn't care, "Well, what's the big deal? This method is known to many people, and it's not a secret. Just spread it. Our governor said that it would be better if all the people in the world knew it." Besides, whether the vegetables are grown well or not is not only related to the kang.

Guo Chong said in his heart, it's generous!

After dinner, Guo Chong went to the toilet to solve the three urgent needs. The toilet was quite clean. It was said that someone washed it regularly every day.

When he returned to the house, the kang in the house was indeed on fire.

Guo Chong had already confirmed that Pingzhou would provide accommodation for talented people.

You said that the food was not good, just simple meals. It was not necessarily good to live in, just a place to shelter from the wind and rain, similar to an ordinary inn, but quieter than an inn.

This place is for those who are talented but have not yet decided to invest in Pingzhou. It's not very generous, but there is basic guarantee.

Interesting, a bit like Mengchangjun raising three thousand guests.

As the saying goes, a glimpse of a small part reveals the whole picture.

Guo Chong saw at this time that Pingzhou's economic strength was indeed not low.

Thinking deeper, Pingzhou had already had the conditions for rebellion. But the Qin and Lu families had been patient, and finally found them an opportunity.

No, this opportunity might have been created by them.

He did not believe in coincidences. All the coincidences that others saw as a matter of course might have been deliberately done by someone.

Guo Chong believed in his inference, and he was more optimistic about Pingzhou.

Guo Chong's inference was correct. The series of actions of the Qin and Lu families were just Lu Songli following the strategic policy of "storing grain, building high walls, and slowly claiming the throne".
