Gu Qian scolded the turtle king bastard of Xiao Governor's Mansion in his heart, but he had to squeeze out a humble smile on his face, saying that he would definitely support Xiao Governor's decision, get along well with the future Xinxian Cheng, and strive to let the development of Qingjiang County reach a new level as soon as possible.

When Governor Xiao heard this, a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he said to Zhou Zhentai: "Lord Zhentai, the lower officials have long heard of Shenzhi's name, and after these few days of exchanges, I found that Shenzhi is an immortal material! A small magistrate has really wronged him. ”

Zhou Zhentai heard Governor Xiao's mouthless praise of Gu Qian, his eyes squinted, and his mouth pouted: "Why didn't I see it." ”

Governor Xiao knew that he had always looked down on Gu Qian, and he didn't say much, but smiled and encouraged Gu Qian, and talked a few words of gossip with Zhou Zhentai, and left.

Back to the next place, the person who went to Beixiang to investigate has returned, Xiao Zhifu heard that the entrance to the pit was indeed blown up, and his face suddenly became gloomy, but he was not happy, and he had no better way, after all, it was not easy to open a mine, and the Beixiang silver kiln could not be slowed down without a few years of hard work.

"My lord, what should I do next?" Guard Zhang asked in a low voice, glancing at him.

"You go down first. Governor Xiao waved his hand, and Zhang Guard retreated in amusement.

Xiao Zhifu sat in the room until dark, and the old family saw that he had been sitting still, sighed secretly, turned around and went out with a cup of hot ginseng tea, and persuaded: "Master, the ginseng tea is boiled, you can drink a cup." ”

"Let's leave it there for now. Seeing that it was an old family member who had served him since childhood, and it was difficult for Xiao Zhifu to reprimand, he sighed, got up and came to the window.

Outside the window, the silver moon is like a hook, and it is about to arrive in mid-autumn weather, and it is time to prepare for the festival to the capital, but the Beixiang silver kiln was bombed, where should this money be made up?

Governor Xiao is very difficult, he wants to curry favor with Yan Shoufu, but he also doesn't want the people of Xinghua Mansion to be infamous, and the result of wanting to curry favor with both sides is that now the money is not together, and it is very likely that he will end up with people inside and outside. Xiao Zhifu sighed again, returned to the table, picked up the ginseng tea on the table and swallowed it slowly, he had been an official for nearly fifteen years, he didn't believe that he couldn't think of a way!

The problem of Xiao Zhifu has not been solved until he left Qingjiang, and the silver kiln in Nanxiang has been promised by Zhou Zhentai to continue to be operated by the villagers, so he does not dare and cannot fight the idea here, not to mention that the silver production of Nanxiang is not a little bit worse than that of Beixiang, even if he gets it, he can't get much silver, and in the end he can only give up helplessly.

However, there is always a doubt in Governor Xiao's heart, even if Duan Guangrong knows that the government wants to arrest him and want to destroy the silver mine, but where did he get so many explosives to blow up the pit? You must know that the silver kiln is the lifeblood of Beixiang, so he blew it up like this, and there is no opposition among the villagers of Beixiang?

Doubts are doubts, there is not much time left for him, Zhou Zhentai's car has been placed at the door of the post station, they are about to leave, in desperation, Xiao Zhifu decided to hand over this matter to the future Wang Xiancheng to investigate, after all, Wang Jun has no other way to go except to be attached to him, if Wang Jun can't even find out this thing, then he can only be abandoned as a waste.

At the end of the discussion, Xiao Zhifu put a smile on his face again, he smiled and listened to Zhou Zhentai's lecture to Gu Qian, gently encouraged Gu Qian a few words, got on the horse, and went back with Zhou Zhentai's car.

Gu Qian stood in the ten-mile long pavilion outside the city, watching his boss and his boss's boss rush away, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally sent this group of people away, you must know that if they stay for one more day, the county government will have an extra day of accommodation and food money, this more than 1,000 people...... As long as Gu Qian thought about it, the blood in his heart flowed out.

"Let's go! Go back!" Gu Qian spit out the unhappiness in his heart, turned around with a smile, now the entire Qingjiang is his biggest, he really wants to walk vertically, and he wants to walk sideways!

returned to the county office in high spirits, and Gu An and Lao Wu Tou greeted them early.

Gu Qian was a little surprised when he saw Old Wu, sat on the horse and said condescendingly: "Okay, you old man, don't you usually hide in the back? Why did you run outside today to greet the master?"

Old Wu Tou grabbed the reins of the horse, led the horse to the dismount stone, and while helping Gu Qian to dismount, he flattered: "There are so many big officials in Qingjiang, the villains are scared, and the villains dare to come out when the adults are gone." ”

"Are you still afraid?" Gu Qian said curiously.

"Hehe, the villain has been in the yamen for so many years, and he has been stained with a timid light. Old Wu Tou followed Gu Qian to the gate and asked, "Master, the carpentry workshop on the front street asked me to ask a question, the gate is repaired, when will the account be settled?"

"I know you're not kind. Gu Qian glanced at him and said, "Zhang Yong didn't give money?"

"Without your approval, Zhang Shuban won't do it. ”

"Then you call Zhang Yong to see me. ”

"Okay!" Old Wu bowed and went with a smile.

Gu Qian stood in place, beckoned to Gu An, and asked in a low voice, "What is the relationship between Old Wu Tou and the Front Street Carpentry Workshop?"

"It's hard to say about the relationship, but the day before yesterday, someone gave Lao Wu Tou a roast chicken. ”

The corners of Gu Qian's mouth twitched, he had been a vegetarian for several months, and he hadn't eaten roast chicken yet!

The more he thought about it, the more depressed the old man summoned Zhang Yong over, and asked, "How much money has you spent recently?"

Zhang Yong didn't know why, so he hurriedly reported the money he had spent recently, and the more Gu Qian listened, the more angry he became, "So, all the money from the confiscation of Beixiang has been advanced?"

"Almost," Zhang Yong looked at the account book in his hand and said stubbornly, "There are still one hundred taels left." ”

One hundred taels of fart, there are at least dozens of people waiting to eat in the yamen! Qingjiang County not only manages to eat and drink, but also digs its own grave and blew up the entrance to the silver mine in Beixiang, just so that the conspiracy of Governor Xiao will not succeed.

Now, the group of uncles are gone, but Qingjiang County is poor, and my biggest pride in Qingjiang just now disappeared in an instant, Gu Qian rubbed his eyebrows, sat on the chair, and asked, "How long can it last?"

"Half a month at most. ”

For half a month, Gu Qian's eyes were dark, and after a while, he said to Zhang Yong: "What other way to get money?

Zhang Yong saw that the eldest lord was in a hurry, but he smiled, he put the account book on the table, and whispered: "Don't worry, master, although this silver can only last for half a month, but seeing that the autumn harvest is imminent, a large amount of income will be credited to the account soon." What's more, most of the people who eat in the yamen don't live on the money, and they have their own means of getting money. ”

"What?" Gu Qian was dumbfounded, daring to love this group of people is blatantly making extra money!

"Yes, master," Gu Tai walked in at this time, looked at Zhang Yonghe's account book on the table, and said with a smile: "The household is in charge of collecting grain, and the criminal room is in charge of judging the case, this is all fat and poor, you just don't pay for two months, and they don't dare to say anything." ”

Gu Qian looked at his subordinates who didn't take the arrears of wages seriously at all, gritted his back molars, and squeezed out a smile on his face, showing cowardice in front of his subordinates or something, it really damaged the official authority of the county lord of his county!

As he was talking, he heard a rumor from someone outside, saying that Yu Sanli, the big boss of Nanxiang, was here.

Gu Qian was stunned, and said in his heart that this guy came quickly, he dismissed Zhang Yong and Gu Tai, and asked Yu Sanli to be invited into the signing room.

"The grass people visit the county master. Yu Sanli entered the house, and he was not ambiguous, and bowed his head.

"Hurry up, please get up," and Yu Sanli can be regarded as a friendship in adversity, so Gu Qian didn't hold it, and personally helped him up, "I haven't seen you for a few days, the style of the big boss is better than in the past!"

Yu Sanli smiled, shook his hand again and again, and said, "Don't laugh at me, big master." ”

"Haha," Gu Qianlang said with a smile: "Big boss, please take a seat." ”

The two of them sat down as guests of honor, Yu Sanli took out the pen box he was holding in his arms and gently placed it on Gu Qian's desk, "The villain got a few lake pens a few days ago, and I specially sent them for the eldest master to enjoy." ”

"The lake pen is a famous pen, you can keep it for yourself. Gu Qian said politely.

"The villain doesn't know how to write and ink, isn't it a tyrannical thing to use such a famous pen?" Yu Sanli said with a smile: "The eldest master is a Tanhualang appointed by the saint, and his literary style is graceful and brilliant, only a character like an adult can make the best use of famous pens!"

"You have such a mouth!" Gu Qian smiled helplessly and said, "In this case, I will accept it, master." ”

Seeing that he had accepted the gift, Yu Sanli smiled mysteriously and said in a low voice: "Please also ask the master to enjoy this box pen in person, so that he can discover the wonders of it." When Gu Qian heard this, his expression moved, could it be that there was another mechanism in it, he nodded with a polite smile.

Yu Sanli didn't sit for a while before saying that Nanxiang had something to say goodbye and leave, Gu Qian saw his figure pass the corner, thinking that Yu Sanli would not turn back, he told Gu An to close the door and return to the signing room with excitement.

Touching the box, carefully opening it, the three lake pens lay quietly in the brocade. Three? Gu Qian counted in confusion, what does this mean? Just as he was puzzled, he carefully found that a piece of paper was exposed in the corner of the box.

What is this? I carefully pulled it out and looked at it, and it turned out to be three silver tickets stacked on top of each other, no more, no less, exactly three hundred taels. This is a bribe? Gu Qian's liver was thumping, this was the first time he had received a benefit fee since he crossed over!

Three hundred taels! But how can you spend it? Gu Qian thought about it, opened the door and shouted Gu Tai.

Gu Tai was working not far from the signing room, and when he heard his shout, he raised his leg and walked over.

"Master, are you looking for me?"

Gu Qian nodded and said, "Yu Sanli came just now and gave me two hundred taels of silver tickets, I have been thinking about it for some time, and I should send some household goods to my family." In this way, you go to find a proper person and send one hundred taels to Taihu's hometown, and the other hundred taels to the capital and hand them over to Lord Chen Jian Chen. ”

"Don't you have any money left at hand?" Gu Tai agreed with his plan in principle, but still reminded him uneasily.

"I still have the share of the money I got when the Beixiang was quelled, and besides, the autumn grain will be harvested soon, which should be enough. "Gu Qian refused to say that he had saved another hundred taels of private rooms!

"In that case, I will send someone to do it. Gu Tai got up to leave, but suddenly stopped, "Master, it's almost the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there will be a lot of money to spend soon!"

"You mean gifts?" Gu Qian was stunned, "Isn't that the money paid by the household?"

"It's not gift money," Gu Tai saw that Gu Qian didn't understand, and patiently explained: "It's the money to buy the account book." ”

The author has something to say: Saturday and Sunday may not be even worse, and next week it will be made up......
