It was snowing again.

It must be against the rules to let Governor Cao soak in the snow outside. Drinking some hot tea in the concierge is a thoughtful manner.

"Dare to ask when Wei Dajian will come back on weekdays?"

"Returning to Lord Cao, that is, when I come back, the chief inspector Bingbi will come back to have some tea and snacks. After that, if the emperor calls for something, he will go to serve him. If there is nothing else, the chief inspector Bingbi will read the book , and fell asleep."

"Oh, then I'll just wait here."

Governor Cao nodded and smiled.

He glanced at the snowflakes on his shoulder, but he didn't use his internal force to shake them off, so begging for help, of course, the more miserable the better.

The time for a cup of tea is over.

Governor Cao once again rejected the little eunuch's invitation to have tea in the concierge, and continued to wait in the snow with his eyes closed.

Between eyebrows and hair.

Frost gradually condensed, and it looked like there were some gray hairs.

A long breath.

The contact of hot and cold air forms a long white mist, which is somewhat interesting.

suddenly.

The sound of small footsteps came from the ear.

"Director Cao!"

Wei Zhong staggered over with his body bent, and greeted him.

"Eunuch Wei!"

Governor Cao bowed his body and saluted, respectfully.

It seems to be the same as in the past, when the two were the chief and deputy governors in Dongchang.

Salutation, etiquette.

The same.

pity.

Time passes.

Both of them understand that it will be difficult to go back to the past.

"Go in and talk!"

Wei Zhong shook his head and said calmly.

Ma'am.

The mutual hatred gradually dissipated.

Now Governor Cao can bring wine and meat to the door, so naturally he can't refuse the door.

although.

It means going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

……

Light up the fire.

The wine jar was set on the fire.

Soon.

The wine is gurgling, exuding a rich aroma of wine.

Governor Cao reached out and took down the wine jar.

The two came to the threshold and sat down, watching the snow scene, drinking wine, and eating dried beef.

Wine is good wine.

The meat is good meat, it is strong and flavorful, but it is tooth-intensive.

Wei Zhong tore and ate, before drinking two bowls of wine, before eating two pieces, Governor Cao had already eaten more than half of the wine and meat.

"Eunuch Wei, I'm here this time to ask you how to be the supervisor of the East Factory?"

Governor Cao blushed.

But with wine in front, no one knows whether it is drunk red or shamed.

"Then I have to ask you, what is a good governor of the East Factory!"

Wei Zhong said calmly.

Regarding Governor Cao's problem, he had foreseen it in his heart. The two of them had worked together for too long, and they were too familiar with each other.

but.

Governor Cao never beat him.

even once!

"Suppress Jinyiwei and Xichang, and more importantly, let the people under his command have money to spend."

Governor Cao simply said.

Now there is a lot of complaints about him as the governor of the East Factory within the East Factory. The rise of Jin Yiwei and the West Factory has played a large role.

If Dongchang is still the boss of the two factories and one guard, these voices will disappear or be much quieter.

But it comes down to it.

It's because Dongchang is too poor!

Before picking soft persimmons, Dongchang did not get money from Shanxi merchants and Huizhou merchants.

no money.

The East Factory couldn't expand, which led to everything being inferior to Jinyiwei and the West Factory.

"You led the East Factory to slaughter the tide merchants, and everything you said can be easily solved!"

Wei Zhong pointed out the way.

There are three major business gangs in the country.

Shanxi merchants, Huizhou merchants, and Chaozhou merchants.

Talk about wealth.

Chaoshang is not bad at all, maybe even more.

and.

Even the charges are ready-made.

One is smuggling, and the other is going to sea in violation of the laws of the country.

As long as Governor Cao has the courage to slaughter the tide merchants, given the emperor's preference for Dongchang, he can get [-]% of the stolen money.

"Eunuch Wei thinks I don't want to, but most of the tide merchants' wealth is hidden in small overseas islands. Without the help and support of the Guochao navy, even if Dongchang kills all the tide merchants on the ground, they can't get it." How much money, but it will scare the snake."

Governor Cao said depressedly.

After Jinyiwei and Xichang got huge benefits from the seizure of the merchant gang, he set his sights on the tide merchants.

But after understanding, it was found that it is impossible to wipe out the tide merchants in the true sense with the power of Dongchang alone.

"Based on what I know about you, in order to equalize the gap between the East Factory and the Jinyiwei West Factory, you must have made some preparations, tell me?"

Wei Zhong poured a bowl of wine for Governor Cao and said affirmatively.

This former subordinate of mine was eager to win, and had a lot of crooked ways.

There must be other preparations.

"The one who knows me is the old governor."

Governor Cao smiled sheepishly, and said frankly: "I have found a few beauties who are overwhelmed by the country and the city for the emperor, and I plan to send them to them when the imperial court chooses concubines next year, so as to win the emperor's favor."

Show beauty.

It can not only please the emperor, but also form a good relationship with the beauties entering the palace.

If a beauty can fly on a branch and become a phoenix after entering the palace, and become a queen and concubine, Dongchang can also get some benefits.

"How many are there?"

"Eight!"

"Ah."

Wei Zhong calculated in his heart, nodded and said, "It's enough."

"What's enough?"

"Don't wait for the imperial court to choose a concubine. Tomorrow is New Year's Eve. The emperor decided to go out of the palace in low clothes at night to have fun with the people. Make arrangements to distribute these eight beauties to the east, south, west, north, and southeast of the capital." , Northwest, Northeast, and Southwest eight locations, so that no matter where the emperor goes, he can meet beauties by chance!"

Wei Zhong sighed, paused and said: "I hope it is true as you said, these eight beauties are all overwhelmed by the country, can cause a sensation, and can arouse the curiosity of the emperor!

After the emperor returns to the palace, I will take the initiative to explain to the emperor about leaking the holy relics. The more beautiful the beauty, the less punishment I will receive. Otherwise, please ask Governor Cao to collect the corpse for me! "

"The old governor's kindness, Zheng Chun will always remember it in his heart."

"I'm for Dongchang, don't put gold on your face, that's fine, go back and arrange it!"

Chapter 65 Private visit on Weibo, fireworks stage

Lunar New Year's eve.

The snow cleared after a long time.

But without much warmth.

The snow gradually melted and it became colder.

Snow water flowed down the cracks in the bricks and tiles.

Icicles formed at the eaves.

under the sun.

sparkling with light.

With curiosity and joy, the children wanted to smash it down with stones.

The father, who was burning incense to worship the ancestors, rushed over when he heard the sound, and shouted to stop.

The aggrieved child pursed his mouth, but did not dare to cry out.

The adults have taught that it is unlucky not to cry in the twelfth lunar month.

The mother, who was making dumplings and glutinous rice balls, walked out of the kitchen without caring to wash off the flour on her hands, and hugged the child distressedly.

Then, he took out the rolling pin from the house and hit the ice edge, the ice edge broke and fell down.

The child hurried over, grabbed the cold ice edge, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Tastes like the expensive popsicles sold in summer, but somehow sweet.

see this.

The father's face suddenly pulled down, and he was about to scold him with a black face.

"Go out and play!"

The mother took a quick step, pushed the child lightly, and explained the scolding to the child with a smile.

The child who didn't care, happily ran out of the house to show off and play with his friends.

Behind.

There was the faint sound of an argument between the parents, but the child would neither know nor understand.

Near noon.

The adults hold the leftover porridge from the morning in one hand, and use it as a paste, and in the other hand, they hold the couplets written by others and post them.
