Chapter 1171: Ximen Qing climbs to Uncle Cao Guo
A plague in Shenwu County has brought pain to many people, although there are not many people who have died, but there are still too many people who feel palpitations, but there is one person who is extremely happy, and that is Ximenqing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ximenqing used the prescription contributed by Long Xiao selflessly, stored a large amount of medicinal materials, and made a lot of money, at least 200,000 taels of silver, so Ximenqing's idea was activated.
In Shenwu County, Ximenqing knew that only one day when Long Xiao was there, he wouldn't want to show off his might, let alone bully men and women, because Long Xiao didn't buy his own account at all, and he didn't give himself face. In the past, Ximen Qingdu realized his domineering ideas by bribing the magistrate and reaching out to the interest group. However, now it doesn't work, the new magistrate Lu Yanshou is obedient to Longxiao, and he doesn't care about himself at all, which is why Ximenqing is very distressed.
One day, Ximenqing was drinking at home, so he chatted with a few people who had the same smell as him: "Tell me, the county Cheng Longxiao doesn't buy my account at all, and the county magistrate Lu doesn't care about me, what should I do?" If our brothers want to do something in Shenwu County, it is simply impossible, and you can also give me an idea." This is Huang Zixu, who is good with Ximen Qing, offering a plan: "Brother Ximen, I think your ideas are too low-end, you just want to befriend the county magistrate, don't you want to make friends with bigger officials?" ”。
Ximen Qing was stunned; "Make friends with bigger officials? What officer? Could it be the prefect? Or is it the governor? But they are far away from the emperor, and they can't control the Divine Objects County, and besides, I don't know them either." Huang Zixu smiled: "Brother Ximen, you think wrong, let's make friends with the big officials, just pull the tiger skin to pull the banner, and we don't need them to take care of it at all, as long as we have the backing of the big officials, we will fight whoever we want in Shenwu County, not to mention the ordinary people, it is the county Cheng, the county magistrate, I have to give you a little face, don't you say?" ”。
Ximenqing sighed: "It's easy to say, but I don't know them either, if only I could know them, do you have an idea?" Huang Zixu: "Brother Ximen, my father used to be a eunuch in the palace, and now although he has returned to his hometown, he knows a lot with the magnates in the capital, as long as you have some money, you can make friends with a powerful person." When Ximen Qing heard this, he thought it was good, so he hurriedly invited Huang Zixu's father out.
Huang Zixu's father, Huang Qin, is a eunuch, and Huang Zixu is a righteous son he adopted since he was a child, in order to provide for himself. Huang Qin's hometown is from Shenwu County, because he was old and could no longer serve in the palace, he was released by the harem manager and returned to Shenwu County. This Huang Qin is over 60 years old, he rarely goes out, his family is wealthy, and when he was in the palace, he accepted bribes from princes and ministers, and he saved a lot of money, otherwise he would not have returned to his hometown.
Huang Qin is very doting on his son, although he is an orphan who was picked up, he doesn't care about Huang Zixu at all, as long as Huang Zixu spends money, Huang Zixu has developed the habit of being lazy and lazy. found a beautiful daughter-in-law for Huang Zixu, Huang Qin counted on it, as long as he could spend his old age in peace, therefore, he rarely came forward in Shenwu County, rarely asked about official affairs, and few people knew his ability, that is, Ximen Qing, although Huang Zixu had a good relationship, he only knew that Huang Zixu had a father who was a eunuch.
Huang Qin also knows Ximenqing, and he also knows that Ximenqing has some power on the ground, but his reputation is not very good, seeing that his son is in contact with Ximenqing, he did not stop it, there is such a group of fox friends and dog friends, his son will not be harmed, Huang Qin thinks so, therefore, he is not particularly disgusted with Ximenqing. Seeing that Ximen Qing invited himself, he was still very respectful, so he gave Ximen Qing an idea: "Ximen Qing, if you want to show off your power in the local area, you must have a hard relationship in the capital, ordinary officials are not good, I used to have a good relationship with Cao Guifei, her younger brother Uncle Cao Guo is a character in the capital, as long as you tie up with him, you will be inexhaustible in the future."
When Ximenqing heard this, his eyes lit up: "Uncle Huang, then what do you say, how much silver do you need?" Huang Qin said with a smile: "The problem is not the amount of silver, the key is that someone recommends you, so let's do it, I'll write you a letter, you take it to the capital, and give a generous gift, as long as Uncle Cao Guo approves of you, it's fine." Ximenqing: "Uncle Huang, is 200,000 taels of silver enough?" Huang Qin: "It's enough, you have 200,000 taels of silver, plus my letter of recommendation, Uncle Cao Guo will definitely appreciate you, your tempers are similar, you are both rampant and domineering lords, maybe you will become good friends." Ximenqing listened to Huang Qin's suggestion, prepared 200,000 taels of silver tickets, prepared a lot of local products, pulled a few big carriages, and came to the capital with Huang Zixu, holding Huang Qin's letter.
Uncle Cao's house in the capital is very easy to find, many people know that Ximen Qing and Huang Zixu came to Uncle Cao's door, but they were stopped by the doorman: "You are so bold, don't you know that this is Uncle Cao's house, and you dare to break in?" Ximen Qiangyi was so powerful, he quickly took out 100 taels of silver tickets and handed them over, and the doorman immediately turned into a smile: "You are here to find Uncle Cao Guo, who are you, I will inform you." Ximenqing handed Huang Qin's letter of recommendation to the doorman, and the doorman went in to report, and after a while, the doorman said that he could go in. Ximenqing drove a few carts in, saw Uncle Cao Guo, and handed over the 200,000 taels of silver tickets first, and Uncle Cao Guo smiled.
"Hehe, it turned out to be Ximen Qing from Shenwu County, since you are very familiar with Eunuch Huang, then okay, I will accept your gift and recognize you as a friend in the future." Ximenqing hurriedly said: "As long as Uncle Guo appreciates the villain, the villain is willing to contribute 200,000 taels a year", Uncle Cao Guo was interested when he heard it, and thought: A small fetish county can send 200,000 taels of silver, and it will send 200,000 taels every year, but it is a large amount. Cao Shaozu immediately showed great interest, Ximenqing's own heavy money was successful, and he was also proud in his heart, although he was excited to say that he would send 200,000 taels, although it was also a huge amount, but it was also good to be appreciated by Uncle Cao, Ximenqing felt that it was still worth it.
Cao Shaozu was happy to have a banquet at home for this rich man from the countryside, which was the first time in the world. It was Cao Shaozu who was invited to dinner by others, especially at home, and it was never a thing, of course, Cao Shaozu was also 200,000 taels of silver. Since Ximenqing, a big fool, is willing to give himself 200,000 taels of silver every year, why not invite him to eat. Ximenqing was even more aggressive, so he hurriedly invited Cao Shaozu to go to Shenwu County. This is Ximenqing's plan, no one knows that he knows Uncle Cao Guo, as long as Cao Shaozu goes to Shenwu County, it is equivalent to announcing to the people of the county that he and Uncle Cao Guo are friends, not to mention the common people, even if they know the county and the county, they have to save a little face for themselves.
Cao Shaozu is also a ghost, and soon guessed Ximenqing's intentions, so he asked Ximenqing: "Ximenqing, what are the fun things in Shenwu County, I can't go in vain", Ximenqing hurriedly said: "There is nothing else in Shenwu County, it is rich in beauties", Cao Shaozu was happy when he heard it, this Ximenqing really said that he was in his heart, he just likes beautiful women, it's just great. So, Cao Shaozu happily agreed to Ximenqing's request and decided to go to Shenwu County.
This time, Cao Shaozu also showed rare generosity, not only invited Ximenqing to dinner, but also led Ximenqing to visit the Qinglou in the capital, and also made Ximenqing see the world. It turns out that there is such a big knowledge in running the Qinglou, which makes Ximenqing take a big step forward in the consciousness of running the Qinglou. It turned out that Ximenqing thought that running a green house was to eat and sleep together, but he didn't expect that the green buildings in the capital were so varied, and even a veteran like Ximen Qing felt that he had gone to heaven, which was not the same as that of Shenwu County.
Ximenqing was accompanied by Uncle Cao Guo, and after half a month in the capital, Uncle Cao Guo also felt bored, so Ximenqing proposed to go to Shenwu County to enjoy the scenery of the small county town in the countryside, and Uncle Cao Guo readily agreed. Cao Shaozu came with a big fanfare, sent a few big carriages, pulled up all the daily necessities he liked, and came to Shenwu County, at the same time, it was the meaning of Uncle Cao Guo, and it was also the meaning of Ximen Qing, so he consciously let the prefect and the governor know, not to mention the magistrate and the county.
