Celebrating more than two years of peace in the world

Chapter 191
After moving the table down a step, Fan Xian sat behind the table.

Gundam and Wang Qinian were also assigned seats, but according to the number of seats, they were farther away from Fan Xian.

At first, the two wanted to refuse, but under the arrangement of Fan Xian's eyes, the two still took their seats. After that, Qu Han sat beside Fan Xian, while Haitang Duoduo and a tiger guard stood beside him. behind Fan Xian.

"Your Imperial Envoy has worked hard all the way. I heard that the matter of the internal treasury has been settled. I think I can rest for a few days." The prefect Cao Yan said with a smile while waiting for the maid to pour the wine.

At this time, Fan Xian was even more vigilant towards this middle-aged man. He didn't know what the other party was thinking, but after entering the hall until now, the other party had revealed many details.

The first thing was about the table. The other party directly lifted his own table and the prefect's table to the same table. At first glance, this gave Fan Xian great respect, but when he thought about it carefully, this might not be a big deal. danger.

What is Fan Xian's identity?
He is an imperial envoy. Although this status is tyrannical, he doesn't have any real job in it. After going through the Jiangnan road, is it possible that Fan Xian can return to the capital city to build an imperial envoy's mansion?
So this name will definitely be taken off when he goes back, and it is definitely impossible for him to take it off as the Jiangnan prefect. At least if there are no major problems, this first-rank official must be sitting firmly, then Fan Xian will be there. If he becomes a person who offends his superiors and holds power, the emperor will definitely not tolerate him.

That's why Fan Xian didn't give them such a reason to talk, so he downgraded himself.

"Thanks to the prefect, things are going well, but the bidding is coming soon, so I can't rest for a few days, and I have to talk to the bosses from all over the south of the Yangtze River. I can't afford to slack off. After all, I'm new here, so I need the prefect to support me a lot. That's right." Fan Xian said.

Governor Cao Yan was not stingy, his face was very gentle, and he seemed to be looking at Fan Xian with a little appreciation, "The things in Jiangnan are different from those in other places. I think you have already seen and heard something."

"Exactly." Fan Xian nodded and confirmed, "To tell you what my lord said, it is different from every place I have been to before, and it is indeed completely different. Unbelievable, amazing."

"Hahahaha..." The prefect Cao Yan laughed a few times, and said to the officials in front of him, "Look at you, the actions of the civil servants are so stinky, did Master Fan laugh at you?"

Fan Xian was taken aback. He didn't expect the prefect Cao Yan to insult the officials in front of him so blatantly. Instead of getting angry, those officials even smiled with shame on their faces. At this moment, an official stood up and said.

"Returning to the prefect, it's the first time for the imperial envoy to go to Jiangnan, and he has never been to the Jiangnan border before. Of course, he doesn't understand our behavior style, but this is not the fault of the imperial envoy, but the fault of us officials. I also ask the imperial envoy to punish him."

It was only then that Fan Xian realized that these officials were all officials who wanted to bribe him, and it seemed that they were officials who had close contacts with the Treasury and the eldest princess before. It seemed that the meaning of this bureau was also very clear.

So Fan Xian didn't hide from them, and immediately replied, "Of course folk customs and official customs are products of the same place. As an imperial envoy, I am of course a convenient status to do things under the emperor's order, and I don't care about everything. Yes, I will just report what I have seen and heard to His Majesty."

The prefect Cao Yan said with a smile, "Did you hear that? The imperial envoy is not an ordinary official here. I advise you not to make up your minds, and in the end you will be unable to eat. If you still want to work hard, hurry up and apologize to the imperial envoy!" "

After saying this, another official stood up immediately, raised his wine glass and said to Fan Xian, "My lord, I still have to explain to you that the life in this area has long been like this, if we don't integrate into it, You may have already become the soul of the Jiangnan Road, the ghost of the seabed, don't think I'm exaggerating, you must have heard it, this is the way to survive now, not the way to seek an official .”

This was not a meeting to condemn and apologize, and Fan Xian suddenly understood why the Jiangnan prefect wanted to lift himself to the same height as him.

It wasn't aimed at Fan Xian, but the Jiangnan prefect was trying his best to get Fan Xian to bring this news to the palace.

And he doesn't know how to say these words himself, and wants the officials below to speak instead of him.

Fan Xian squinted his eyes and looked at Cao Yan beside him, smiled slightly, raised his wine glass to the official in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

Fan Xian did not give a clear answer, and Cao Yan would not ask a clear question. Both sides expressed such a subtle expression. This is what this dynasty needs most.

Nothing can be said to death, nothing can be absolute, there are advances and retreats, there is profit, no one has anything to say, and no one puts all their eggs in one basket. This is the way to be an official. Fan Xian understands the problem in front of him. Prefect Cao Yan, where is the strength?

"Master Imperial Envoy, will you preside over the bidding this time?" The prefect Cao Yan began to speak after toasting Fan Xian with a few glasses of wine.

Fan Xian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then said, "It's just that the officials presided over it, and the ones used are all marked, and you, Mr. Xue Qing, and Mr. Chen Yuanhao and Mr. Chen are present, so there shouldn't be any problems. So many It is really Fan Xian's blessing to have his powerful ministers cheering on the inner treasury."

"Haha..." Cao Yan, the prefect, smiled. Although Fan Xian is a person who is immune to flattery, he is very good at flattering horses, and he can shoot comfortably, comfortably, and just right. Wang Qinian and Wang Qinian are watching. Gundam applauded and praised again and again.

Governor Cao Yan said, "This bidding is the first new bid after more than 20 years, and Mr. Fan is in charge of the bidding site this time. It will obviously be different from the past. I just hope that Mr. Fan can uphold justice and openly Justice is enough, and other matters are left to him."

"My lord's meaning..." Fan Xian frowned, "If I understand correctly, you mean the Ming family..."

The prefect Cao Yan lay back, leaned on the chair and smiled, and said, "I am not partial to any force, it is just that some people have been working on various projects in the Jiangnan boundary for a long time, and they are doing things day by day. After a long time and doing a lot, he will naturally think that this matter is what he should get. For example, this house is lived by the magistrate. After living for a long time, he thinks it is his home. It is not a reward from the imperial court, if one day he is devalued or promoted, he will suddenly realize that this house is for the next generation."

Fan Xian listened to the inexplicable words, thinking quickly in his mind, suddenly he thought of something, he looked at the prefect calmly, he also laughed, and nodded thoughtfully, "What does your lord mean?" , I understand, whoever this thing should belong to is whoever it is, and I will naturally not interfere."

Speaking of this, the prefect's expression was obviously much happier, but Fan Xian's words did not end. Fan Xian continued, "But you also understand, my lord, that the bidding for the inner treasury is not based on luck or other things, but on It's financial resources and various ability tests after winning the bid. For ordinary people, even if they bid, they may not be able to win. In addition, the design of the bid and the amount of investment funds are added. These are not the shouts of the auction. It needs to be determined according to the circumstances, no one will know the exact amount before the bid opening, if it is too high, others cannot bear it, and there is no other way."

Governor Cao Yan nodded thoughtfully, "Sure enough, Mr. Fan has thoroughly researched the matter of bidding. If that's the case, I won't worry too much. I'll just wait for the day when I see Mr. Fan as the new internal treasury. Recruit more talents."

"Thank you, Lord Prefect, for your concern." Fan Xian raised his glass.

The moment they clinked glasses, Fan Xian understood what the person in front of him was thinking, and also understood the current situation in Jiangnan.

Most importantly, Fan Xian knew who was behind this person.

"sister……"

Deng Ziyue stood tremblingly in front of the sedan chair. The dark Overwatch Council carriage and sedan chair were parked outside the courtyard wall. The place was sparsely populated and there was no one passing by. After the sedan chair was opened, Sang Wen poked his head out from inside, and Deng Ziyue left immediately. In the past, Sang Wen was picked up.

At this time, Sang Wen was no longer the woman who used to play the pipa in Baoyue Tower to pray for Fan Xian's redemption. She had already become Fan Xian's confidant.

On the surface, she is the shopkeeper of each Baoyue Building, the three in the capital city, the one in the Cangzhou city, and the one in the Danzhou city are all her handwriting, and the more secret duty is Fan Xian's information storage machine.

Sang Wen got out of the carriage and asked, "Is that man here?"

Deng Ziyue nodded cautiously, "Yesterday, when night fell, we had already arrived and had met His Highness the Third Prince. Although His Highness was quite shocked, he also understood the whole story. I also explained it to him on behalf of Mr. Fan. "

Sang Wen nodded, "Is the matter of that building settled?"

"It was His Highness the Third Prince who came forward to talk, but the other party belongs to the Ming family's property, and it seems that they only give it away, not sell it." Deng Ziyue explained.

"Only?" Sang Wen smiled, "Since it's a gift, why not?"

"Ah?" Deng Ziyue was taken aback for a moment, apparently not understanding what Sang Wen meant.

Sang Wen nodded, "Go and meet His Royal Highness the Third Prince first, let's talk about the rest of the matter later, since someone wants to give away the building, you don't want it, I, Sang Wen, don't think there are too many shops, don't worry."

After all, twisting his slender body, Sang Wen walked into the mansion, while Deng Ziyue looked puzzled.

And behind Sang Wen, there was that girl Shi, and another masked woman Deng Ziyue.

"Hey..." Deng Ziyue shook his head and followed in.
