At this time, Ye Chunqiu and Deng Jian sat down on the sofa in the public room. Ye Chunqiu looked at Deng Jian and smiled, saying, "Brother Deng, congratulations."

The sofa was very comfortable. Before Deng Jian could feel it well, he looked at Ye Chunqiu in surprise and said, "Congratulations? What are you congratulating?"

Ye Chunqiu said: "Brother Deng is a second-rank official, and his salary is 200 taels of silver per month. Now we have a raise. That is to say, from today on, Brother Deng's salary will be 400 taels per month, and it will be nearly 5,000 taels this year. Brother Deng, how about it? Is it so good to be an official here?"

When Deng Jian heard this, he immediately understood, and his expression became serious and said, "Chunqiu, your salary increase is prepared for me, right?"

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No, no, Brother Deng misunderstood. In fact, everyone needs a raise. I understand everyone's difficulties. Look, who can become an official is not outstanding? Not only do you have to read poetry and books, but you also have to be able to write and calculate. There are also many things that are handled every day. Many of these talents and many of them are not as good as a senior craftsman. To be honest, can they feel better? Are they willing to do things well? I hope their lives can be better and solve their worries."

"Brother Deng think about it, who is a Jinshi, and even tens of thousands of people, not one person may be born. One such person comes out as an official. As a result, Your Majesty is too stingy, and the court wants to save this little money. How about it? He actually makes people like Deng, and if they are not greedy or possessive, their lives are so poor. Although Deng has a noble character, Brother Deng cannot let everyone study like Brother Deng for half a lifetime, and work hard all their lives, but they will be willing to suffer poverty, right?"

"Look, now, with a salary increase, everyone's life is getting better, and there will be no worries. Isn't that a good thing? Besides, Brother Deng is here to suppress corruption, which has ruined those who are still unsatisfied and greedy. In this way, who dares to stretch out his hands?"

"As for Brother Deng's salary, it is also based on the rules. Brother Deng is a second-rank supervisor, so he has to take this salary. Why? If Brother Deng is a noble character, he is willing to suffer poverty and live a hard life, then can the people below also learn from Brother Deng to suffer poverty? This is unreasonable."

Deng Jian was speechless for a moment. He thought carefully that even if he was a supervisor, he would not receive less money than many corrupt and abused people outside the pass.

Ye Chunqiu saw Deng Jian's expression relaxed and his mood relaxed. Then, he roughly talked about his plan.

Deng Jian thought for a while and said, "It's okay not to go back to the past, but if there are people who do things wrong in the future, I will definitely be polite. I will explain it to you clearly now that you will not be able to ask about the affairs of the Supervisor in the future."

Ye Chunqiu gave Deng Jian a very proud face and said simply: "I dare not, I dare not, how dare Xiao Wang ask about it."

This words of pretending to be grandson made Deng Jian laugh and cry. Then, he sighed and said, "I have come here and thought it through. Beijing does not need me. They are eager to drive me Deng Jian away! Since I have come to Qinglong, that is my responsibility. I also know that some things in the future may make you embarrassed, but... this is my responsibility, and I cannot ignore it."

Ye Chunqiu nodded, but could understand him very much, and then smiled and said, "You should do what you should do. There is another thing. Since you are the supervisor, you cannot leave the supervisory office. In the future, I have already thought about the place where you work. Just besides this, a six-story building, you want to recruit officials, and you will follow you. All the funds will be reported to me directly. I will ask the small cabinet to allocate them. I will ignore other things. Oh, and your official residence is also needed, and it is also in that building. In short, everything you should need is ready for you. I will not ask about the others anymore. That is your business."

Deng Jian's first reaction was to look at Ye Chunqiu suspiciously, and finally laughed: "Then I will give you a clear and peaceful Azure Dragon."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but sigh and said, "Where is there really peace in this world? You can only do your best to do your best. For me, I am King Lu, and the people of the children outside the pass are all my people. I naturally hope that this is a peaceful and prosperous era, so that these people can live a safe and stable life. Although their abilities are limited, I just want to do better. Brother Deng, don't be too busy. Since you come, you should be at peace. There is no need to think about the affairs in the pass. Take your sister-in-law and children, take them to your side, and do your job well. In this life, it's like a flash. Brother Deng, this is important to ask for the people, but you also have to take care of the others."

Deng Jian heard Ye Chunqiu's voice-over, didn't he think he was trying too hard? The obvious meaning of this was to be ridiculous.

He and Ye Chunqiu were so familiar that they could not be familiar with each other. They were together all the way, so they were not very polite to Ye Chunqiu. To be honest, even if it was someone else, Deng Jian would not give him a good look, let alone Ye Chunqiu.

So he pushed out a word from his teeth without hesitation: "Get out." Then he said, "Stop talking nonsense here."

Ye Chunqiu was a little confused, then remembered something, slapped the table and said, "Deng Jian, this is my public housing!"

"Oh." Deng Jian just remembered this, but his face was calm and he said lightly: "Then I'll get out."

After saying that, Deng Jian stood up and walked out straight away. Ye Chunqiu almost rolled his eyes.

Ye Chunqiu left Qinglong for some time, so naturally there was still a lot of things to be busy here. After watching Deng Jian away, the civil servant sent a batch of official documents to Ye Chunqiu's desk.

The most top one is the application for various businesses to build railways.

Ye Chunqiu suddenly became interested and hurriedly opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but feel happy.

This railway is really going to start construction on a large scale.

Even if the Ye family is rich, it is very difficult to be responsible for the construction of the main railway line.

After all, in this era, there are no large-scale machinery, and they rely entirely on manual labor. But now, with major commercial banks, they are eager to try and let them take on the branches of various places. What does this mean?

It means that dozens of railways may start construction together.
