Guangxi put forward a series of reform policies, such as vigorously promoting rice planting and fishery development according to the humid and hot climate in the south of the country, and in order to encourage the people, the yamen would reduce taxes for three years, and the yamen would give additional incentives to outstanding families.

As soon as this strategy was put on the table, Cheng Xuan was frightened, and if he continued like this, not only would he not get any benefits, but he would also lose all the money he had accumulated in the past few years.

Cheng Xuan found many reasons to persuade Guangxi, but Guangxi's attitude was resolute, and he had to do so.

Cheng Xuan couldn't let Guangxi continue like this, but he couldn't think of a good way for a while.

At this time, a key figure appeared, he was Wu Zongyue, a small catcher on Cheng Xuan's yamen.

Wu Zongyue has always had a heart to climb up, but his fate is ill-fated, and he is still a small catcher after several years in the yamen, and he has not even become a catcher. Last time, the people made trouble and killed a lot of people, he escaped by luck, and the yamen was short of manpower for a while, so he was taken seriously by Cheng Xuan, and followed Ye Zhutou all day long to do some miscellaneous things.

Wu Zongyue has always been unconvinced by Ye Mengye's head catch, feeling that he can only fight and kill without brains, and has always wanted to replace him.

Now that Cheng Xuan is facing a headache, Wu Zongyue feels that his opportunity has finally come, and after thinking about it carefully, he wrote a secret letter overnight and handed it to Cheng Xuan, believing that he can rely on this secret letter to turn over.

After waiting for several days, there was no movement, and just when he was about to be disappointed, he was summoned by Cheng Xuan.

Cheng Xuan first made a polite gesture and said some words on the scene before getting to the point, "What do you think, let's hear it." ”

"The five-year inspection is coming, and this year is different from previous years, the king of Zhongshan will come in person, and the imperial court will also send people. Master, this is a great opportunity, let the third prince toss now, and when the time comes, won't it be yours when the political performance is good. If the political performance is not good, it is also the intervention of the three princes without authorization, and you can't blame it. ”

Wu Zongyue said slowly, but was interrupted by Cheng Xuan, "Don't I know this, do you want to tell me? What I want to know is my silver! What to do with the silver!"

"Sir, don't be in a hurry, and listen to me slowly. We haven't figured out the bottom of the three princes yet, but it's a fact that the people's livelihood in the south is not campy. If the inspection of Huanan is affirmed by the imperial court and the king of Zhongshan, then the promotion of the lord is not just around the corner, and will you still worry about the silver when the time comes? If something goes wrong, we can all push it on the heads of the three princes, and you don't have to take a little risk. What are you worried about such a good thing to reap the benefits?"

Cheng Xuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and he was silent.

"Master, don't worry, I, Wu Zongyue, will definitely follow you to the death, I will tell you if there is any trouble, and I will never let you suffer a loss!" Wu Zongyue swore solemnly.

Cheng Xuan looked at Wu Zongyue, who had a flattering face, and felt that he still had a little brain, nodded and rewarded him with the position of assistant head catcher.
