Chapter 282 County Government Office Renovation Budget
Man Niang and Shen Zheng looked at each other, then covered their mouths and chuckled.
"Sir, what are you asking? I'm a business, isn't it strange to have customers?"
Shen Zheng saw that the man looked unfamiliar and knew at first glance that he was not from Tongan County.
Man Niang answered this way because she didn't want to reveal her identity directly to avoid causing trouble.
The visitor smiled shyly upon hearing this, bowed and said, "I said something wrong, please forgive me, ladies. Then... is it convenient for me to come in?"
Just as Man Niang was about to refuse, Shen Zheng stood up.
"As the monks ring the bell every day, since guests have come, I will go back first and come back to look for my sister tomorrow."
Man Niang actually didn't want to ring the bell.
Every time she talked to Shen Zheng, she felt the most relaxed.
Can speak freely and answer questions.
But Shen Zheng wanted to leave, and she couldn't stop him.
"Then I won't keep you here. I'll open the door early tomorrow and wait for you."
Shen Zheng smiled back, put down a few copper coins and walked away. Man Niang picked up the copper coins and scolded, "Give me another copper coin."
The man looked at Shen Zheng's back curiously and asked Man Niang, "Miss Man, who is that girl?"
Man Niang asked him back, "Sir, didn't you say that you have traveled a lot for many years and have a wide range of knowledge? Then you must have a unique vision, right? Then why don't you guess?"
The man smiled helplessly.
When did he say that he had broadened his horizons? He just said that he had been wandering around for a few years...
But Shen Zheng's identity is actually very easy to guess. There is probably no one else in the entire Tongan County who has such a dignified demeanor.
Instead of telling his guess, the man said in a distressed tone, "I am stupid and can't guess it. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Miss Man."
"Can not guess?"
Man Niang was skeptical.
She had just called Lord Shen "you", and he still couldn't guess it?
If this person is not stupid, then he is just making fun of himself.
"Forget it if you can't guess it. You will know it later."
Man Niang put the teacup on the table into the tea tray and asked, "What kind of tea would you like to drink today, sir?"
The man glanced at the small wooden sign hanging in front of the hall and said with a smile, "It's hot today, I don't want tea. Miss Laoman, give me a fruit drink."
......
As soon as Shen Zheng returned to the county government office and was about to look for Xu Zhubu, she was stopped by Liang Fu and Qiao Lao in the backyard.
"Master Shen, come and take a look."
After Shen Zheng walked forward and sat down, Liang Fu pushed one drawing after another in front of her.
"This is the overall blueprint of the renovation of our county government office. It covers every part of the county government office, including the front yard, the court, the back yard, the houses, etc."
Before Shen Zheng could see the first drawing clearly, Liang Fu immediately pushed the next drawing up.
"This is a detailed blueprint of each place, with clear markings on it, including the land area, materials used, renovation or demolition and reconstruction."
Shen Zheng felt that her eyes had just focused when Liang Fu covered them with the third drawing.
Shen Zheng: “…”
Is this for her to see? Just take a look.
"And this one."
Shen Zheng finally saw clearly the last drawing that Liang Fu pushed over.
There were a lot of small words densely annotated on the drawing. Shen Zheng took a closer look and found that this last drawing was actually a "budget drawing".
The estimated usage and market price of various materials, the estimated construction period and the overall budget.
This drawing is extremely detailed, even the labor costs, material losses, and consumables are noted on it.
If it were placed in her previous world, this would be a simple but not simplistic "project cost chart".
Shen Zheng once again marveled at the wisdom of the ancients.
Those who could work in the Ministry of Works were naturally geniuses in construction, and Liang Fu was also a leader in the Ministry of Works, so he could be described as a "genius among geniuses."
For Liang Fu, the renovation of her small county government office was a piece of cake, and even a waste of talent.
Liang Fu pointed to the last budget chart and said to Shen Zheng:
"Sir Shen, I originally wanted to buy these materials in Tongan County. But... after two days of visiting, I found that because Tongan County has begun to take shape, many materials are difficult to find, and the prices are not cheap..."
"So I had to go to the neighboring Quanyang County. Quanyang County has a complete business scale, and we can find all the materials we need to renovate the county government this time, and the price is only slightly higher. So after discussing with Mr. Qiao, I decided that if we buy the renovation materials from Quanyang County, it would be the best, but... everything depends on your wishes, Lord Shen."
Shen Zheng was well aware of the shortcomings of Tongan County. It could not compare with Quanyang County in business matters, and was extremely weak.
It was also her expectation that she would go to Quanyang County for shopping this time.
But after buying it this time, what about next time? What about the people?
Therefore, developing the economy and expanding the business circle are also top priorities for Tongan County's future development.
While the three were talking, Shen Xingjian walked in quietly from outside.
He silently said in his heart: You can’t see me, you can’t see me, you can’t see me…
"Master Shen!"
Liang Fu's voice sounded behind him. His back stiffened, but he continued walking forward without stopping.
There are two Lord Shens in the backyard right now. The one Lord Liang calls may not necessarily be Shen Xingjian...
"Master Shen! Master Shen Xingjian!"
Liang Fu's voice sounded like the whisper of a devil in Shen Xingjian's ears. He bit his lip and turned around stiffly.
He looked at his toes and greeted everyone dryly: "Liang, Lord Liang, Lord Shen, Qiao, Mr. Qiao, you are all here..."
Liang Fu waved at him and said, "Sir Shen, you've come just in time. Sir Shen and I have something to ask you."
Shen Xingjian paused for a moment and asked, "W-what's the matter?"
Old Qiao was impatient and could not wait any longer. He stood up and called out, "Please come over first. We are so far apart that our voices are almost splitting."
Ugh--
Shen Xingjian sighed in his heart, walked towards them with difficulty, and then sat down.
"Lord Liang, what do you want?" Shen Xingjian asked.
Liang Fu pushed the topmost layer of drawings in front of Shen Xingjian and expressed his confusion.
"You are a pillar of the Ministry of Revenue. This time, the county government office is being renovated. Lord Shen and I have a question for you."
As soon as Liang Fu finished speaking, Shen Zheng secretly gave him a thumbs up.
It's really comfortable to get along with smart people. Liang Fu knew what she meant with just one look, and called Shen Xingjian, who was socially anxious, over.
Liang Fu pointed to the details on the budget drawing and continued:
"You have been in Tongan County for quite some time. I think you have a general understanding of the situation in Tongan County. The entire Tongan County is not particularly outstanding in business matters."
