Chapter 2605
"We shouldn't control it here, and we can't control it there. If we continue to stay in Hangzhou, wouldn't there be nothing to do?" Tao Hongfang couldn't help but feel a little frustrated. Although no one in Hangzhou actually jumped out to oppose him, there were all kinds of scruples in doing things. After all, he felt that his hands were tied and he was not as comfortable as he was in Sanya.
Bai Letong said: "How about joining me as a two-person team and traveling around the mountains and rivers every day? Wouldn't it be nice to see a few pieces of land near the West Lake recently? You and I can go and have a look. Choose It’s a good place to build a house, and you can continue to be neighbors when you move to Hangzhou.”
When they visited Shi Diwen in Shi Mansion earlier, they had been amazed by the beautiful scenery along the West Lake and thought about finding an opportunity to find a suitable place by the West Lake to build their own house. However, due to their busy schedules, they couldn't spare much time to go there and search slowly. Moreover, after they came to Hangzhou, the work they were doing had subtle conflicts with the local government, so they did not make it public for the time being, lest someone use this as an exchange to ask them to give up certain principles.
However, after Bai Letong found out the truth about the chaos in the rural examination, he lost interest in the task of supervising the rural examination. In the past few days, I have been to the countryside every now and then to try out the show, and the rest of the time has been spent traveling around. Now seeing that Tao Hongfang was also a little discouraged, he used himself as an example to try to persuade Tao Hongfang to put aside his worries for the time being and shift his attention to other directions.
Tao Hongfang couldn't help but feel a little moved after hearing this. He had already made similar plans before setting off from Sanya. The move of the capital is a foregone conclusion. Sooner or later, my family will move to Hangzhou. Although the government will definitely build residences for senior officials in advance, the place arranged by others cannot be as satisfactory as the one I personally selected.
Ha Jianyi also advised at this time: "If you are bored staying in Hangzhou, you should listen to me. Taking advantage of the East China Sea Fleet's defense change, brothers go abroad together to experience the treatment of the Celestial Kingdom. Isn't it right? Isn’t it beautiful?”
Since Ha Jianyi returned from Zhoushan the day before yesterday, he has been encouraging everyone to travel overseas. However, Tao Hongfang and others had their own work at hand at that time and could not reach an agreement. However, this time Tao Hongfang also encountered a setback in Hangzhou, and was a little disheartened about his job. Ha Jianyi brought up the old matter again, and the effect was more significant.
Tao Hongfang responded: "If we really plan to go, then we will plan it carefully, prepare the itinerary properly, and then report back to Sanya and try to get our parents to let us go."
Bai Letong said: "The four of us are traveling together, plus Wang Anguo, and the East China Sea Fleet escorting us throughout the journey. Logically speaking, this is enough to put our family at ease."
Ning Zijing had expressed his attitude last time that if he wanted to go, he would go together. At this time, he did not change his mind and agreed with Tao Hongfang and others.
Ha Jianyi said happily: "In that case, I will contact the East China Sea Fleet early to inquire about the itinerary."
Tao Hongfang said: "It is better to ask Wang Anguo directly when he will finish what he is doing and set off."
Not long after Wang Anguo got acquainted with them, he moved to Qiong Lianfa's high-end inn in the east of the city under everyone's persuasion. However, Wang Anguo's various tasks when he returned to China this time were very heavy, and he was much busier than the others. He left early and came back late almost every day, so although he lived in the same place, he didn't actually see each other much.
Ha Jianyi made sense when he thought about it. Wang Anguo would not lead his fleet on the return journey until he had completed all the tasks. The East Navy fleet's defense change arrangement was also intentionally waiting to accompany Wang Anguo's fleet, so as long as he knew that Wang Anguo With the itinerary, you can basically determine when to set off.
However, Wang Anguo hadn't come back yet, so Ning Zijing went to order some food and drinks, and everyone drank together while waiting.
It was already a little late when Wang Anguo came back. Seeing these people still sitting in the pavilion eating, drinking and chatting, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "Brothers are in such a good mood today, what good thing are you celebrating?" Ha Jianyi greeted: "Wait a minute You’ve been here for a long time, come here and sit down and talk!”
Wang Anguo didn't know what he meant, but he had been living with a few of them during this time and was already very familiar with each other, so he didn't refuse and went straight over to sit next to Ha Jianyi.
Ha Jianyi was outspoken and confessed to Wang Anguo that everyone had already agreed to go overseas with the East China Sea Fleet for inspection, so they needed to know Wang Anguo's next schedule so that everyone could plan their own itinerary.
After hearing this, Wang Anguo asked curiously: "When we talked about this a few days ago, weren't you still waiting and watching? Why has the direction changed again?"
Tao Hongfang said: "Hangzhou is a place with too many restrictions, and I will feel a little depressed after staying there for a long time, so we plan to go out for a walk, just to change our mood."
Wang Anguo became even more curious after hearing this and asked Tao Hongfang what happened. Since Tao Hongfang had decided to put down what he was doing, he did not hide anything and explained to him concisely the problems he had discovered while investigating the ownership of the land around Hangzhou Railway Station.
Wang Anguo wondered: "So the reason why Brother Tao feels unhappy is that he is dissatisfied with the local government's secret operations, or because he failed to find out the background of the Hainan Island trading company?"
Tao Hongfang smiled bitterly and said: "It should be considered a combination of both! But if you think about it carefully, these matters are not within my jurisdiction. It would be overstepping the bounds for me to investigate these matters. Moreover, it is said that the local government has done something wrong. , that is indeed unfair, they have their own difficulties, and as an outsider, I am not in a position to comment on these matters.”
Wang Anguo said: "Actually, everyone is serving the country, and it doesn't matter who is right or wrong. Brother Tao doesn't have to blame himself. But maybe I know a little bit about the Hainan Island-based trading company you mentioned!"
"Huh?" Tao Hongfang was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't believe Wang Anguo's words too much. After all, Wang Anguo had been abroad for several years on the other side of the ocean and only recently returned to the East China Sea Region. , the degree of grasp of domestic information and situation changes may be far inferior to his own, how could he know about an unknown company registered in Hainan Island.
Looking at his expression, Wang Anguo could roughly guess what he was thinking. He immediately explained: "It's a long story, but I can assure you that this company has a very clean background and will not harm the country." ”
Tao Hongfang wondered: "Why is Brother Wang so confident? Could it be that he knows the boss behind this firm?"
Wang Anguo hesitated for a moment, as if he was debating whether to tell everyone the truth. After thinking about the cause and effect, he said to Tao Hongfang: "To be honest, Brother Tao, I am one of the shareholders of the trading company!"
