Bastard’s Resurgence

Kou Xiangwenzhi was complacent, because he boasted that he had done something, and he challenged Wang Wenyuan everywhere in the county office, tit-for-tat, thinking of increasing his authority and suppressing Wang Wenyuan's prestige.

But Wang Wenyuan, who is cunning like a fox, does not confront him head-on. On the surface, Wang Wenyuan is showing weakness, but secretly Wang Wenyuan is preparing to pick Kou Xiangwen's peaches in advance.

The senior officials crushed people to death, and Kou Xiangwen was in the limelight. Wang Wenyuan was the official county lord. The taxes in Shatian County were over-taxed. The general had a reward. How about rewarding Wang Wenyuan, the chief official?

Wang Wenyuan now asks Chen Xiaojing to arrange for the suppression of business in the county, which is to do a trick. The imperial court has a "Border Prohibition Order", which is strictly forbidden to trade in border areas, because once the Turks and Beiyan people get the salt of Dakang , Grain, tea, silk, porcelain, they will become stronger and stronger.

And especially iron and gunpowder. If they flow into Beiyan and Turks, they will soon become sabers and cannons. These weapons will be the lives of the people of the Dakang Dynasty.

The imperial court has the "Forbidden Border Order", but the Longyou area also needs a way to make money. In fact, this decree has hardly been strictly enforced since its birth. Especially in recent years, the imperial court has acted on the Longyou power lords. The voices are getting louder and louder, and this decree is useless.

For the power lords in Longyou, they need horses, money and food to grow their power. The land in Longyou is barren, and they hope that the output of the people’s land is not enough. Therefore, opening the border trade channel is inevitable for the lords in Longyou to earn money. means.

As for the negative effects brought about by trade, it is also undesirable for the Longyou Authority at the moment. The Turks are strong enough, and the Longyou Authority can raise more soldiers. The border wars continue, and the court will consider what may be incurred by the Longyou Authority. Serious consequences.

For the generals and princes of Longyou, the enemy in the north must be strangulated and restocked. When they need to be killed, they can win the war by sending troops. When they need to be raised, the northerners need to be able to issue at least three to five copies. Eight hundred miles expedited to the court.

Political affairs are so cruel and ruthless, with no thoughts of good and evil, no thoughts of human nature, kindness not being in charge of soldiers, and the battle and game between the rich and powerful and the court. Under the surface of meekness and peace, there is a **** storm, and the dangers in it are also hidden. Only the people in it can experience it personally.

Of course, Longyou is so big, there are inevitable differences between regions and regions. Besides, Longyou is the court's Longyou after all. Even if the powerhouses have an advantage, officials at all levels still need to be appointed by the court.

Encountered with those loyal and patriotic officials, their elm heads are to strictly control the Border Order. Even if they are powerful and powerful, they are not good to come forward and publicly criticize this. Therefore, the business situation in Longyou is very complicated and each has its own differences. .

Wang Wenyuan in Shatian County has always acted as cunning as a fox. He can see clearly about the businessmen and neither encourages nor suppresses it. This is a card for him when it is critical.

Isn't Kou Xiangwen fighting him now? He happened to play this card. He picked the peaches first. Once this card was played, everyone in Shatian County knew that Kou Xiangwen had collected the money from Jiangnan merchants. Kou Xiangwen had to report the tax and silver matters in advance. When he arrived, Wang Wenyuan reached out and picked the peaches.

In addition, the Jiangnan businessmen who went to Shatian County to do this kind of business were bound to be jealous. The interest alliance between Lu Zheng and Kou Xiangwen might end because of Gu Zhilun's loosing of money.

Kou Xiangwenkong was overjoyed and made wedding clothes for Wang Wenyuan. Lu Zheng spent money and fetched the water with a bamboo basket. Wang Wenyuan benefited. He was in the limelight and was proud of the spring breeze. Even if there is a lack of the above, he can be promoted to the next level. , For Wang Wenyuan, it was the most pleasant and comfortable result.

It's just that the planning depends on the people, and the success depends on the sky. Chen Xiaojing praised Wang Wenyuan all the way. After arriving at the county office, he immediately called Wang Wenyuan's two confidantes over and asked them to do errands according to Wang Wenyuan's requirements. They can be said to act vigorously and resolutely.

However, he turned around and left the county government office, turned around half a street, and entered Lu Zheng's mansion from the back gate of the county school. He gave Lu Zheng the original text of what Wang Wenyuan had planned in Liangzhou. He didn't dare to keep half of it to Lu Zheng. .

Although Lu Zheng’s living room is simple, Chen Xiaojing feels luxurious when sitting here. Everything in the room seems to be very particular. Even the Sancai cup for making tea is the top white porcelain of Jingdezhen. Only such white porcelain is Only in Jiangnan.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, but just raised his hand. A dull-looking entourage brought a plate covered with red silk. The plate was placed in front of Chen Xiaojing. Chen Xiaojing plucked up the courage to open the red silk. Subconsciously, he felt that his throat tightened and his breathing became difficult, and then his heart couldn't help but "puff" and "puff" to jump up.

Look at this plate, a plate full of silver, ingots of snowflake silver, with official marks on the bottom, which are obviously just taken out of the silver number.

Twenty-two taels of silver, ten in total, this is a huge sum of two hundred taels of silver!

Chen Xiaojing is Wang Wenyuan's master. He counts all his income in one year, which is about twenty taels of silver. Now Lu Zheng is on the plate in front of him, with the wealth he needs ten years of hard work to obtain.

"Master Lu, this..."

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Master Chen, let me tell you, I have recently made a small fortune with my Lord Kou. The so-called seers have a share, Master Chen, this little silver is what I mean, you accept it! "

"In these days, a penny has stumped heroes. Master Chen is a man of elegance, so how can he lose money? Haha..." Lu Zheng laughed and motioned for someone to wrap up the money for Chen Xiaojing.

Chen Xiaojing's heart can hardly remain calm. The reason why he came to Lu Zheng today is because Lu Zheng has his handle in his hands. He dare not come. In fact, he is very upset in his heart!

But now, Lu Zheng's shot is so generous, and his little news has been so generously rewarded, which is really beyond his expectation.

Looking at Lu Zheng’s handwriting, and then at Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen, the two of them can only be regarded as country folks. The Quan Clan’s children are the Quan Clan’s children. They are extraordinary in manners and actions. Look at Lu Zheng’s age, he is only more than ten years old. Its future is definitely not comparable to Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen.

"Master Chen, I, Lu Zheng, is a person who likes to make friends. When others treat me attentively, I treat people sincerely. Recently, a lot of things have happened in Shatian County. I admire both Lord Kou and Lord Wang. Both It's my colleagues, they have disputes, and I can't get involved.

But there is one thing. I really hope Lord Wang can take advantage of Dongfeng and rise to another level as soon as possible. I also hope Lord Kou can no longer live under others and be able to stand alone. Master Chen, this is all my truth! "Lu Zheng said slowly, his tone was very casual, and it made him feel very comfortable in Chen Xiaojing's ears.

Chen Xiaojing said: "Lu Da's popularity is extraordinary. I, Chen Xiaojing, are convinced by you. This time, Master County is actually not targeting you. It's just that Shatian County is such a big county, and Master County is not in charge of such a big deal. Easy, Lord Kou is too pressing, and the county prince can't bear it!"

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Well, Master Chen, the gods are fighting, so let's not mix up. Right now, my errand is to run the county school well. Today I have to go to supervise the work again!"

Lu Zheng stood up, and the two pretty maids leaned forward, one from the left and the other, to wait for Lu Zheng to change clothes. Chen Xiaojing couldn't wait any longer, and quickly left.

He didn't go back right away after he came out of Lu Zheng's house. He got a big bag of silver, and he was very excited and could not calm down.

Looking at Lu Zheng's handwriting, Chen Xiaojing had an impulse, that is, to resign from Master Wang Wenyuan's errand and go with Lu Zheng from now on.

What made him admire even more was that Lu Zheng didn't care about Wang Wenyuan's order for the entire county to search for business names. Obviously, Wang Wenyuan's idea of ​​using this to stimulate Lu Zheng was simply unrealistic.

The so-called Jiangnan merchants, Lu Zheng knows how many merchants are all closely related to Lu Zheng? I'm afraid not necessarily!

Lu Zheng is a dignified scholar and a great talent that even the emperor admires. Will these talents lower their worth because of a few merchants?

Chen Xiaojing deposited the silver in the silver account, holding two hundred taels of silver bills in his hand, feeling heavy in his heart. Returning from the silver account to the county office, he saw that the construction site of Xinxian School was very busy, and Lu Zheng was already wearing his official uniform. When they arrived at the scene, surrounded by everyone, Lu Zheng personally made arrangements, and the construction period of the county school seemed to be ahead of schedule again. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????

On the construction site, Chen Xiaojing also saw Ren Jiagen, Wanhelou's shopkeeper, who seemed to be honest, but in fact extremely mellow in his mind, was saying something to Lu Zheng with a smile on his face.

When Chen Xiaojing suddenly moved in his heart, he didn't avoid suspicion. He walked out of the hiding place and walked straight to meet Lu Zheng. He heard Ren Jiagen say:

"Master Lu, the kid in my family is so stubborn, can he really go to the county to study?"

Lu Zheng said, "I said yes! Our county school is very large and needs a large number of students. After our talents from Shatian County moved in, the head of the county school was different.

If the boss is willing to send the children at home, the county school guarantees to cultivate hard, and the boss can generously give to Shuxiu, we will also set a monument outside the county school for those who have contributed to the construction of Shatian County’s county school, regardless of The people of Shatian County will always remember who it is! "

When Ren Jiagen heard what Lu Zheng said, he took a step back, took out something from his arms, and said, "Master Lu, although Ren is a merchant, he also knows the way of sages, sir, this is us I ask the adults to accept Wanhelou's little thoughts!"

Lu Zheng raised his hand, and immediately a government servant from the county government came over to accept Ren Jiagen's money and collected the silver. The government servant sang loudly: "The boss of Wanhe Lou Ren Jiagen donated one thousand taels of silver!"

Chen Xiaojing originally had a smile on his face, thinking about coming over to have a conversation, when he heard this call, he trembled all over, standing on the spot in a daze, his expression was really indescribable...
