Chapter 41, Wu Qiancheng

After the national teacher left, Xue Jian stayed in the side hall and did not come out, and his heart was in a mess.

If what the national teacher said was all true, the three princes would definitely not let him go, just like they did to the Xue family at the beginning.

He had to prepare early, even first.

And Xue Jian also had a curiosity about the Nine Dragons Remnant Monument in his heart, if all the remnants of the monument were collected, what would happen.

The deity of the gods?

Nine Dragons apparitions?

Or, as the national teacher said, get the whole world?

But no matter what, his things will never be handed over to others easily, and if you want to grab them, you have to show enough skills.

Xue Jian was thinking about these bad things, and Lao Shangshu suddenly walked in from outside the door and said with a smile.

"Master Xue is still here. ”

Xue Jian immediately got up and asked.

"Is there anything Shangshu-shang-sama commands?"

Lao Shangshu waved his hand and spoke slowly.

"The official thought about it, since His Majesty wants you to hone and hone more here, then naturally you want to come to the yamen to do business, so I added a chair to you in the room, if you have nothing to do, you can come and sit, young man, you still have to learn more and watch more. ”

When Xue Jian heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

It's not all bad for the national teacher to come here, it's an unexpected joy, there is an extra chair, and he finally looks like an official.

"Master Shangshu is right, Xiaguan has liked to learn more and watch more since he was a child. ”

After speaking, he followed Lao Shangshu to the lobby, which was spacious and had many official chairs.

Old Shangshu pointed to a corner, where there was a chair that had obviously just been moved, and there was not even a desk.

In this regard, Xue Jian was already very satisfied.

He didn't really come here to sit around, and having a chair meant that he had a place here.

"Then you are free, the official is busy, if there is anything to ask, everyone is a colleague, you don't have to be polite. ”

Lao Shangshu explained with a smile, and then turned to leave.

Xue Jian didn't go there to sit, but walked around the lobby first.

Most of these officials, who were older than him, ignored him, but a small number of them smiled at him and said politely.

Among them, there was a young waiter in his early thirties, who was very polite to him, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was Brother Xue, which was a bit polite.

However, some of the older officials next to him ignored this.

Xue Jian sat directly beside him and chatted with this person.

The young waiter's name is Wu Qiancheng, and the name sounds memorable.

Wu has a future, no future.

I don't know if it's good or bad for his parents to get a name, anyway, the Tobe squire in his early thirties can be regarded as having a bright future.

"Brother Xue, I heard that you are a genius in martial arts, I have respected those who cultivate martial arts since I was a child, but my body is too weak to cultivate martial arts, so I can only abandon martial arts and follow literature. ”

Wu Qiancheng whispered to Xue Jian, his eyes were full of admiration, and he didn't know the situation and thought that Xue Jian was a big official.

Xue Jian smiled faintly.

"If you really want to cultivate martial arts, I can teach you, as long as you can persevere, you can endure hardships, and it will not be a problem to become a martial arts cultivator. ”

Wu Qiancheng looked surprised.

"Is what Brother Xue said true?"

Xue Jian nodded, then took out an introductory exercise book from his arms and handed it to him.

"Back then, like you, I was also a weak scholar, but since I practiced this exercise, I have not only become a martial arts cultivator, but also a martial arts genius in your mouth.

When we meet for the first time today, this exercise will be given to you. ”

Wu Qiancheng was overjoyed, and took the exercise book as if he had obtained a treasure, and hurriedly thanked him.

Then, the two talked about some things about martial arts, most of which Wu Qiancheng asked, and Xue Jian answered.

This person is indeed very interested in cultivating martial arts, but the congenital conditions are insufficient, so there are regrets.

It was also because of this that Wu Qiancheng heard that Xue Jian was highly talented in cultivating martial arts, so he was so polite to him, and even admired and envied.

Chatting to the happy place, Wu Qiancheng said angrily.

"Brother Xue and I hit it off at first sight, so, today I am the east, let's go to Zuixianglou to have a drink, how about it?"

Xue Jian naturally happily agreed, doesn't being an official have to do a good job in the relationship between superiors and subordinates?

Although this Wu Shilang is young, he is a real Zhengsanpin, and he is not much older than him, a junior official who is the main bookkeeper.

Zuixianglou is one of the largest restaurants in the imperial city, all of them come and go here are dignitaries, Wu Shilang obviously often comes here, and as soon as he comes, he is led to the Tianzi box.

The wine and delicacies were served one by one, and the two talked about the wine, calling them brothers, from cultivating martial arts to being an official, and from being an official to making money in business.

Xue Jian mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally.

"I heard that the richest man in this imperial city is rich enough to rival the country, Brother Wu, tell me, how people make this money, I also want to learn. ”

Wu Qiancheng drank happily and said freely.

"It's all some dishonorable means, that thousands of gold is a good businessman who is willing to give on the surface, but behind the scenes, oppressing the people and encroaching on the land, has he done less?

If it weren't for the support of the three princes behind him, the taxes paid to the household department every year are extremely large, and thousands of gold would have been arrested a long time ago. ”

Xue Jian seemed to have drunk a lot, but in fact he wasn't drunk at all.

Not to mention the physique of his martial arts cultivator, a little flow of Yuan Li can evaporate the wine, just say that the amount of alcohol he drank when he was a seller in his previous life can be called a thousand glasses, and it is all practiced by accompanying his boss and customers.

Wu Shilang's words were heard clearly by him, and he suddenly sneered in his heart.

I'm not afraid of people's money, I'm afraid that people's money will come too cleanly and I won't be able to grasp the handle.

It seems that if you want to bring down the richest man in the imperial city, you have to collect evidence that he is making black money, and when the time comes, the five princes will come forward, no matter who is behind him, they will have to fall.

He continued to pretend that he had no intention of asking.

"Then what kind of business does this thousands of dollars do that can't be seen by people?"

When Wu Shilang heard this, he seemed to sober up a lot.

He hesitated, approached Xue Jian, and said in his ear.

"Brother Xue, I told you, you are not allowed to go out and talk nonsense, we can't afford this. ”

Xue Jian immediately nodded.

"Don't worry, I'm not such a broken mouth. ”

Wu Shilang looked at the room and saw that a window was open, so he walked over and closed the window tightly, and then whispered.

"There are many ways to make money, and on the surface, he is cooperating with the two major chambers of commerce to do some goods business.

But behind the scenes, he wantonly encroached on the people's land, used it to build houses, as well as private mining, human trafficking, and even secretly cultivated a killer organization to collect money to kill people on their behalf.

These things, our people in the household department know best, because this thousands of gold has to pay at least one million gold coins in taxes every year, if not, how can the people above allow him to be so arrogant. ”

After hearing this, Xue Jian immediately gasped, just because of that sentence, he would pay at least one million gold coins in taxes every year.

If this is done by selling the exercises, then you will have to sell a million copies, and this will have to be sold for what year and month, and this is only the tax that people pay in a year.

With this gap between the rich and the poor, Xue Jian couldn't wait to rush directly to Wan Qianjin's house to grab money.
