Crown Tang emperor

"Get up and answer."

Li Tong turned around and returned to his seat, with a pale expression on his face, he raised his hand to signal Guo Yuanzhen to take his seat without courtesy.

Guo Yuanzhen's face was still a bit ugly at the moment, and he no longer had the rogue look he had when he faced Shi Sizhen just now, and sat down in embarrassment, like a wronged little daughter-in-law.

He has no confidence at all right now, and after he said those words in a hurry, he also felt that his chastity and character were ruined by himself.Although they also act recklessly on weekdays, stealing hooks and stealing the country are different concepts after all.

Although it is not normal for a female protagonist to rule the country, and the holy emperor is old now, it is reasonable for those with vision to plan the way forward, and secretly communicate with the candidate for the time.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he still felt that the young king was not very reliable, he was not a son or a nephew, he was not a heir, and he was not an elder. It must be known that Revolutionary Yi Ding was not a dinner party. deep talent.Of course, if the young king had such a talent and reputation, he might not even dare to go to Beijing for official business or visit the mansion.

As for the moment, I can only take one step at a time. I hope that the king is just too bored and wants to have some excitement. After dealing with the moment, he will try to get rid of it.

As for directly reporting the young king's treason, he has not thought of it for the time being. If the blood of such a close relative of the Li family is on his hands, once the world changes in the future, he will be in a worrying situation.

Although Guo Yuanzhen can't see any hope of making a fortune yet, he also has high expectations for himself, and he is not very willing to do this kind of short-term plan of overdrafting future possibilities and gaining vanity in front of him.

"Tell me, why did you block the way and rob the prisoner?"

Li Tong asked again, it's all right for this guy to run wild in the middle of the country, but he was a little curious when he went wild in Guanzhong.

Guo Yuanzhen naturally didn't dare to hide any more at this moment, and told the whole story with a bitter face.In fact, it is very simple. Guo Yuanzhen sold the servants and servants in the house of the wealthy family who committed the crime. It happened that he went to Beijing to encounter this matter, and he was worried that the other party would implicate him, so he did it.

After hearing this, Li Tong couldn't help being amused. This guy's business is quite big, and his business has expanded to the vicinity of the capital. At the same time, he asked curiously, "How much can you earn from all the businesses you do all year round?"

Guo Yuanzhen shook his head after hearing the words: "The lowly job is arrogant, and the wealth and goods are gathered and scattered for a short time. I really don't know how much I received. If I make a strong estimate, there should be several million."

"so little?"

Li Tong frowned suspiciously and said, it is also because he has recently started making a fortune, and even his outlook on money has changed.

A few million dollars is a few thousand coins. For a county lieutenant, this is definitely an astonishing amount of wealth that cannot be achieved by conventional means. Guo Yuanzhen can earn several million dollars a year, which shows his hard work.But even so, listening to his words, he still has no savings. It can be seen that other than breaking the law, he should be busy spending money on weekdays.

Hearing that the young king questioned his ability to make money, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but feel angry. He was about to refute a few words, but then realized that this is really not something to brag about, so he could only sneer and say: "After all, the land of Shu is different from Lingbei. , People’s sentiments are vicious, humble positions but have homework, you have to act according to the situation, sometimes you can foresee material benefits, but it’s also troublesome. If you can change positions, you should be able to gain something.”

Are you really doing this as a career?Or do you think I value your ability to make money illegally?If I go out and hug you for a while, I will be able to match your hard work for ten years!

"These things are both controversial and less profitable. Since you have joined my sect, don't do it again. It is really embarrassing for people to know that my disciples are poor souls and ghosts, still trapped in things. In the future, if you need anything, The government will take it directly. It’s just a few million dollars, that’s all, the limit is [-] million per year, if there is an excess, it will be supplemented according to the situation.”

Li Tong was annoyed and looked down on the disappointment that you ruined your virtue for millions of dollars: "In the future, I will follow the king's teachings, and everything I do is important. What you think and worry should be in the matter, and you should not be a minor ailment because of financial difficulties. disturbing."

"Your Majesty really allows me to spend tens of millions a year?"

Even though Guo Yuanzhen lacked a precise concept of money and the like, after hearing this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and asked with some uncertainty.

After Li Tong heard the words, he sneered and said: "Guanlong is full of nobles and nobles. If you can respect the king's teachings and help you succeed, they will be your future posture today. There is no need to ask such a startling question and underestimate yourself."

When Guo Yuanzhen heard this, his mood couldn't help being flustered again. Among other things, if the young king can really pay him so much money as promised, it is really worth carefully evaluating the relationship between them.

Of course, it is not mainly because of this huge sum of money. After all, although ten million is a lot, it is not impossible for him to work harder throughout the year.

What he valued was the young king's ability to mobilize material resources. He knew that the young king had been out of the court for a short time, and after that he had served for many years.If even recruiting him can throw tens of thousands of huge fortunes without changing his face, then the significance of this is too great. The so-called seeking the country is no longer just talk.

Li Tong didn't make Guo Yuanzhen curious for too long, and continued: "You are just working on the surface of Shuzhong, and I am about to deploy Shuzhong, which requires manpower. I won't let you deal with crimes. Apart from cleansing yourself, it is also for Use this sparingly."

Guo Yuanzhen was shocked again after hearing the words, and then asked: "I don't know what your Majesty wants to teach? You haven't entered the lowly position for a long time, and your Majesty dares to use it?"

Li Tong smiled and explained the flying money business of Baoli Bank, and said: "There are many people involved in this matter, and people on the surface need to take care of it. Although it is not a big wish, it is enough to test people's ability. You Can you consciously cope?"

He told Guo Yuanzhen about this matter after some consideration.This guy seems to be obviously unreliable right now, but if he doesn't explain something more important, it will be a waste of this talent.

Feiqian's business communicates with Sichuan, Sichuan and Guanzhong, and it has great potential to absorb and gather people and situations, but this is not a prohibited thing in itself. nation.Turning around and telling Wu Youyi, I wanted to help you make some investment, but was persecuted and confiscated by the traitor, and you have to take revenge.

After listening to it, Guo Yuanzhen couldn't help but click his tongue and said: "Your Majesty is really ambitious. People are afraid of the difficulty of the Shu road, but they can make money. Sitting on the ground and drawing profits can also attract high-ranking customers. This business is really a big win !"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then peeped at the king's expression, and said in a low voice: "The humble post in Tongquan County is not simple, and the post is not boring. The king entrusts you with this important matter, and the humble post is also deeply moved. How about going back to the wild and working on this matter?"

After Li Tong heard the words, he said with a smile: "In this way, you can hide from the matter and keep silent. Even if I commit a crime, you will still have time to calmly withdraw the money and hide it, and come out when it is next year?"

"How could such a lowly position have such paradoxical thoughts! It's just that Meng Lang's lack of discipline in the old years made people so misunderstood. I really regret it!"

Guo Yuanzhen hurriedly turned over and bowed again, with a look of remorse on his face.

"You will be in the position of Tongquan, so that you can take advantage of your power when things happen. Since you have been taught by the king, you will have a safe future, and you will not be silent for a long time. After the affairs here are on the right track, I will choose the time Bringing you back to the capital is another use. Whether it’s literary selection, or military and political matters, in short, let me see the outline of your talents first, and then talk about other things.”

"Of course, this is of course, the humble position must be worthy of the king's use, and it must be loyal and diligent!"

"It's not about words, so tell me how you plan to repay it?"

Of course I don't hesitate to recruit talents and talents, but you must always show matching value.

Chapter 0299 ​​ascended to the first solution brown, marrying a new

Hearing the young king's question, Guo Yuanzhen's face also became serious. The young king's background revealed that he had already started to face up to this relationship, and it was no longer just a perfunctory self-seeking on the spot.

What he did in his official position was naturally not a person who followed the rules. Moreover, people in the world are impetuous. Even the princes of the Southern Province in the capital of the gods are fighting all day long over the ownership of the heir.

When it comes to the vision for the future of Guozuo Sheji, it is natural that adults have their plans, and villains have their opinions.Now that the king's mansion is under pressure, Guo Yuanzhen inevitably begins to think deeply about the feasibility of the young king's plan.

"Being rewarded by the king, I am really grateful for the humble position. Naturally, I am eager to show my talents. But the humble position, no beautiful voice, and those who can help in the immediate situation are really insignificant. What's more, the king already has flying money. Give good advice to each other, follow this humble position, and work with respect, you will definitely save money and food for the king, and gather contacts."

Guo Yuanzhen stood up and crossed his hands and said: "But in ancient times, although wealth is the foundation of success, power is the root, and power cannot be achieved without crowds. Your Majesty has shown that he is neither heir nor elder. It is not expected by people's expectations. Although this one is inferior, But it is also enough to rely on. Those who practice this way will not lead the king as a strong enemy, so they can calmly lay out the story, and the characters will gather together. Before entering the government with a humble position, he took the liberty to explore the story of the king in his house. The king has no power but has a reputation. But enjoy the family, dissociate from the matter, but go deep into the game, although the situation is careless, there is already room for improvement."

Li Tong has been immersed in his work these years, occasionally looking forward, but he still has different feelings when he hears his own strengths and weaknesses from other people's mouths. Although Guo Yuanzhen's analysis is organized, it is not deep enough, so he continued: "Then explain."

"Beautiful colors and luxurious clothes are what people like, but they are more than livelihood. Although the glitz can be valued, it can also be lightly discarded. The king's life is short, but he is already flashy and noisy, and the crowd is interesting, but after all, it is only the appearance. It’s too late to go too far. If things go on like this, today’s admiration will be tomorrow’s harm. People say that the king is just a pompous guest, and it will be deeply feared!”

When Li Tong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded. There is a standard for everything. When a person's label is too eye-catching and strong, people often only use this label to infer the essence of the person.

He has a talent for poetry, which really helped him a lot at the beginning of his entry into the WTO. Through the singing of poems, people at that time were able to widely know that there is a person like him in the world.But as Guo Yuanzhen said, if you are too obsessed with this, it will not help Shiliu to value him more.

Does a high literary name necessarily mean high talent?Not necessarily, real doers tend to be more disgusted with personnel affairs that are too exaggerated, similar to the old drama bones of later generations criticizing small fresh meat.If the traffic wants to transform into a business, the past reputation will become an obstacle instead.

Nowadays, Pei Xingjian, a well-known official, has been in charge of Dianxuan for many years. He commented on the four major figures of the four sons of the early Tang Dynasty: talents are famous, but few are rich.Yang Yingzhi was the commanding officer, but Yu Bing was rarely able to command the end.As a result, it became a prophecy.Among the four sons, Yang Jiong, who was the best, finally died of illness in the post of Yingchuan Commander.

Guo Yuanzhen continued: "Of course, the king's status is such that beautiful objects should only be preserved by themselves, and must be presented carefully. Today, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is in a cold weather, and the king can use this unspoken rule to search for relics to make progress. But when you get up, there are no branches on the side, and you must remember the old kindness deeply, and you will repay it when the time comes!"

Although the truth is such a truth, but from Guo Yuanzhen's mouth, Li Tong always feels a little weird.The meaning is nothing more than two layers, first you have to be nice to me, second you don't rush to do it, your grandma will not live long, we will do things when the time comes.

"In addition, the heroic righteousness of the wild can also be used. The meat-eaters are superior to the superiors, and they seldom sympathize with the sufferings of the poor. Such people may not use their talents properly, but there is no shortage of praise for empathy. I have crossed Shu Township, so I can cross outside the law, this kind of power has helped me a lot."

When Guo Yuanzhen talked about this, he moved the seat closer, and lowered his tone: "Since last year, there have been poor people in various places in the pass who have quietly formed cliques and called them old clothes. .To tell you the truth, the lowly position is able to trade slaves across the mountains and enter the market. It is a lot of leverage. If this kind of wild pawn can be used by the king..."

After Li Tong heard the words, his mood suddenly became messy, and he looked at the mysterious Guo Yuanzhen and his eyes became a little weird. You guys are rampant, and you dragged my old clothes shop into the water!

He coughed lightly and said, "This matter will be discussed later..."

However, before the words were finished here, Guo Yuanzhen's expression had changed.

Guo Yuanzhen's heart was really shocked at this moment, his ability to see and understand is not just bragging, the young king is thirsty for talent, and when he first met him, he showed the intention of soliciting him, and he didn't care about his bad official voice.Hearing that there is such a gang organization on the surface of Guanzhong, he didn't hesitate to ask. The reason is self-evident.

Thinking of this, Guo Yuanzhen was really in awe of the young king.There is a big plan to make money like flying money bills, and an organization like the old clothes club that involves a wide range of people. The power of the characters in the hands of the young king is far beyond his imagination. It's just a boring and occasional idea of ​​taking risks, but preparations are already in full swing!

He gasped, and when he looked up again, he saw that the young king was looking down at him with a smile that was not a smile, and a cold sweat broke out on his back. He hurriedly bowed to the ground and said in a concentrated voice: Your Majesty has a deep mind, it is a great fortune for a man to be rewarded with a lowly position and to be attached to his tail!"

These few words are heavy and heavy, far less impassioned than the previous declaration.Because Guo Yuanzhen has already deeply realized that since he entered the king's mansion and planned it in advance, it is not easy to get out except for going down a gangster path.

But besides this heavy thought, there is also a faint thrill of excitement in his heart, how many great opportunities can there be in this world?

The young king has his own disciples in the wild, and he also has great plans for money and food. The king's wealth has already been revealed, but he can still hide it deeply. block!He is conceited of his talents, and he doesn't want to be mediocre in this life. If he encounters such an opportunity, if he doesn't donate himself, when will he!

"The purpose of the old clothes club is to benefit the public, but you borrowed it illegally and ruined my personnel arrangement. There should be compensation."

Now that Guo Yuanzhen has already guessed the clue, Li Tong no longer hides it. For such a person, properly revealing the background will also help maintain the relationship between each other. Maybe he can't rely on his confidant, but he is smart enough and has a good understanding of people and things. You can use your own judgment to make choices that benefit you.

"Since the land of Shu is close to Guanzhong, I think there will be many dead people waiting to be rescued. Well, I will run the script later and allow you to set up a branch office in central Shu to handle direct cases. This will also help you win favors and make more contributions." Deep use."

Li Tong added the burden to Guo Yuanzhen, and said: "Since you are inquiring about my story in your house, you should know the depth of my kindness. Regardless of whether you are in the wild or not, His Majesty the Holy Emperor is my closest relative and benefactor. Gratitude is hard to rely on, long-term love is short, so I take advantage of the leisurely time to make arrangements, not to seek danger, but to be able to deal with danger, my life is in my hands, and I will help the country, not just talking about boasting."

The reason why he said this is also very simple. My relationship with my grandma is quite good, and these personnel arrangements are not aimed at her, so you don't have to worry about disasters immediately after joining.

But my grandma and I are the only ones who have a good relationship. She is old and aging and it is difficult to take good care of her. Anyone who wants to make trouble push me down, I will not agree.When that day really comes, you all have to risk your life to fuck me!

"Be patient and wait for the time, the king has a good idea! Such a majestic figure can't be the master, who is the big one! If such a hero can't be involved, who is the clumsy talent!"

Guo Yuanzhen bowed to the ground again, and there was already some sincerity in his tone.

"Get up, let's sit down and discuss things."

When Li Tong said this, the conversation suddenly changed and he asked again: "I'm a little curious. Your reputation as an official has not been corrupted for a short time. How can you continue to serve with full rank?"

Guo Yuanzhen was a Jinshi in high school. Although he had been elected for several years, Xie Brown had been in office for a long time. The Tongquan county lieutenant was his first official. impossible.

Although it is said that Guo Yuanzhen will have another opportunity in the future, the county lieutenant is the most basic position in Liuzhou. There are as many members in a county as there are thousands in the whole country.Even if you commit a crime, you can still be interviewed by Wu Zetian in person. If you don't have the relationship with Shangtong, it is absolutely impossible to get such an opportunity!

Guo Yuanzhen didn't hide anything about this, and said directly: "My father serves in the Sibin Temple in the capital of the gods, and serves as the master of ceremonies, so he takes care of him so that the servant can get along with things."

Li Tong understood after hearing the words, no wonder the way is so wild, it turns out he is also Li Gang's son.

The Master of Ceremonies ranks as the eighth grade, and his power is to be in charge of the court's ominous ceremonies, mainly the funeral affairs of the officials in the court. It is indispensable to deal with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, so it is normal to make some connections.At the same time, it is no wonder that the history books praised Guo Yuanzhen, saying that they borrowed money for funerals, so there was a source.

However, Guo Yuanzhen was already at this age, and his father must have been in his fifties or even his sixties before he became an eighth-rank temple official. Even if he had some energy, it must be limited.Being able to protect his son a little bit, but not enough to promote him to a good job, that's why Guo Yuanzhen was able to harm Tongquan County for so many years.

"Come on, I won't say anything else. This time, you have been injured by Lieutenant Shi County, what should you do?"

Li Tong also can't have a newcomer and forget the old one, what should be done is still to be done, and this newcomer is full of calculations, far less straightforward than Shi Sizhen, a little fanboy.

After Guo Yuanzhen heard the words, he said: "The prisoner has already escaped, and it is difficult for the servant to pursue him. Even if he is brought back into the case, if I get involved, it is inevitable that he will harass the king. Since Lieutenant Shi is bad at things, the servant will make up for him. With meritorious service, there are not a few slave holders in the villages near Beijing, and the servants have their own books to keep, and those who don't know me among them can all be included in the case."

Hearing this, Li Tong refreshed his understanding of this guy's lack of morals. He is also your client after all, so he turned around and sold him?

Seeing the king's strange expression, Guo Yuanzhen said eloquently: "When you get married and marry a newcomer, a servant can meet the king, and you are also very happy in human nature. You should show others a new attitude, change your past mistakes, and don't be attached to the old things and obsessed with the old things."

Li Tong felt even more speechless after hearing the words. Although he would appear to have no confidence, he still wanted to ask, newcomers are always old, will you sell me out like this in the future?

Guo Yuanzhen was also very knowledgeable, and before the young king could answer, he continued to say: "People marry me with goods, and love lasts only for a short time. The king and his servants are paying each other with life and fame, and they are worthy of a lifetime of competition. The king hides the world in his breast, and the servant is the one who dies in the world, and he will die here, and I can do what I want!"

"It makes sense. I shouldn't regain your love. I promised that all wealth will be halved every year. It's not to save material resources, but to help you build a new look."

Li Tong nodded approvingly, and said, at the same time, he made up his mind that his grandma would never see this guy within the next few years.At the same time, I have to arrange some dirty things for him. Seeing Liu Youqiu listen to the instructions more now, he just needs to clean up!

Chapter 0300 Do things from the heart, regardless of the details

To be honest, regardless of character and integrity, Guo Yuanzhen has a lot of advantages.

In terms of pure talent, few of Li Tong's current subordinates are capable, Liu Youqiu is much inferior, his experience is still inexperienced, and he is far less organized than Guo Yuanzhen in speaking and doing things.It's a matter of course to betray an old friend, and the flattery is unique, even Li Tong felt it was an eye-opener.

The eunuch lives far away, has no personalities, can run amok, and is not suppressed by the nostalgia, which shows that his talents are not limited to making money.A guy like Wu Youyi also has a lot of ways to gather money, but when he encounters a real challenge, he can only leave in despair.

Although this relationship seems to be a lot of unreliable right now, it has just begun after all. Both of them are smart people, and each takes what they need. After it is maintained, it will definitely continue to heat up.

As for Guo Yuanzhen, seeing that the young king initially accepted him, he was naturally quite excited.Not only is his life saved right now, but he will also be able to struggle in the future.He was not a talented official who could abide by the rules, and he was full of enthusiasm for this career when he saw that the young king was wise and resourceful.

Maintaining a relationship is a long-term effort, and if you overdo it in a short period of time, it will be too much.

After finishing the conversation, Li Tong led Guo Yuanzhen to the room where Shi Sizhen was convalescent, and motioned him to come in and apologize.

Guo Yuanzhen is now listening to the teaching, without the arrogant attitude before, he knelt and cupped his fists and said: "Lieutenant Shi County, this time Guo Menglang offended you and harmed public affairs. But you have accumulated anger, Guo is in charge, and will definitely make up for it later, I hope you can rest assured. In the future, the two will be in the same house, so don't mistake the king's teaching for personal grievances."

Shi Sizhen naturally did not have a good impression of Guo Yuanzhen. This guy not only attacked him in action but also in words. After hearing this, he showed a surprised expression, ignored Guo Yuanzhen for now, looked up at the king and asked: Want to bring this, this... into the mansion?"

Li Tong nodded after hearing the words, raised his hand and said with a smile: "He is a stupid newcomer, but he angered the old man first, so you don't have to take it for granted. First resolve the old grievances, and then talk about the door. I'm just here to watch , is not empty talk."

Even so, how could Shi Sizhen not care.He knows the king's many hidden schemes, and naturally knows that only by mobilizing all forces to achieve success, he did not dare to obstruct the king's employment, and of course he would not give Guo Yuanzhen any good looks, but said in a muffled voice: "You offended me, it's just a trivial matter , In the future, if you respectfully inherit the king's teachings, if you still act recklessly and ruin the king's plan, you will be in danger of killing yourself."

"You must remember Shi Jun's good words and advice."

Guo Yuanzhen bowed his head again and said.

"You live in Lingnan as an eunuch, and if you have business to go north to Guanzhong in the future, you must first report and discuss with Shi Xianwei. If Shi Xianwei reports that you have made a wrong trip, I will definitely not let you go lightly. I understand. No?"

Strangers have different temperaments. As the career grows, Li Tong's subordinates will naturally gather more and more people. It is difficult to ask these people if they have any conflicts or personal grievances.The reason why people from all over the world came together was to assist the king to ascend to the throne bravely. As long as they didn't interfere with this big goal, they would handle the rest by themselves.

Of course, Li Tong will not completely feel the feelings of an old man for no reason, and give Shi Sizhen the power to control Guo Yuanzhen in name, hoping to resolve his grievances a little bit.If you really want to see this guy is not pleasing to the eye, you put on small shoes for him, and I will clean him up.

Guo Yuanzhen is not an ignorant person, he won't stare at the old man and engage in some ranking battles when he first entered the mansion, after hearing this, he clasped his fists to Shi Sizhen and said: "From then on, we will rely on Shi Xianwei to take care of him and be taught by the king. "

After hearing the words, Shi Sizhen's expression softened a bit, she just nodded, and didn't say anything more.

After a short pause, Li Tong talked about helping Shi Sizhen resolve this time's dereliction of duty.Guo Yuanzhen was quick and easy to sell his old friends, so Li Tong naturally had no scruples, and was happy to use those rich families who illegally kept slaves and maidservants to help Shi Sizhen achieve his political achievements.

After Shi Sizhen heard this, she was also quite moved. As an official, she naturally hoped to have some authority.The king will not be in Xijing for a long time to escort him. If this matter is handled properly, it will not only make up for the previous dereliction of duty, but also make him more authoritative in the county government.

The biggest resistance to the so-called herdsman administration is naturally those country gentry. As long as these people are tidied up, authority will naturally be established.

Guo Yuanzhen was also straightforward, directly listing some families in Shiping County who had violated the ban on slavery, and had a heated discussion with Shi Sizhen about who should be reelected.With business discussions, the previous disputes can be ignored.

"Guanzhong Township has its own power, and it may be intertwined with the county. If this matter wants to go smoothly, you can't rely on the manpower of the Yamen alone. Yuan Zhen first led his powerful forces to travel around the countryside, first to shake the township, and then the Yamen. Follow up, can get twice the result with half the effort.”

There is no official relationship in this era, and it is almost impossible to sit in the countryside. If you only use the power of the government, you will inevitably be tipped off, which will greatly reduce the effect of the action.

That's why Li Tong planned to let Guo Yuanzhen and his group run rampant first. With such an excuse, Shi Sizhen was able to mobilize manpower from the government without causing surprise.

At the same time, there is another advantage, that is, Guo Yuanzhen and his party are so ostentatious, and then they pat their buttocks and return to Sichuan, which can also attract some attention to a certain extent, making the situation of the warriors of the old clothing club more calm.
