The three of them sat down, and Long Xiao and Lu Zhixian accompanied Governor Guo to drink and eat, and Governor Guo was very happy. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info81Ω didn't expect that as soon as he came, Long Xiao would send 1oo taels of silver, but Kaili City, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water in this Shenwu County, Guo Zihan deduced that Lu Zhixian must have made a good fortune in this office, that is, Governor Guo is a little red about Lu Zhixian's position.

Of course, the amount of money that a magistrate county makes is definitely not as much as that of a governor, after all, it is just a county in Shenwu County, and the governor is in charge of 1oo counties, and each county is 1o thousand taels of filial piety, and it is 1ooo thousand taels in a year, but Governor Guo is still envious of Lu Zhi County, and even a little jealous. Because there is a genius like Long Xiao in Shenwu County, after serving for a few years, he has transformed a poor Shenwu County into the first county in Dalu County, that is, the population is close to the provincial county of Dalu County, which cannot but make Governor Guo blush.

Of course, Governor Guo's eyes were red, not because he wanted to come, but because he wanted to transfer Lu Zhixian away and replace him with his confidant, so that he could get more silver. Guo Zihan said to Lu Yanshou with the strength of wine: "Lord Lu, you have done a good job in the past few years, I have reported to the Ministry of Officials, and I want the Ministry of Officials to give you a promotion, you have to thank me, if it weren't for me, if you want to be promoted, I don't know if it will be the Year of the Monkey, hehe."

Lu Yanshou was frightened when he heard this, he had just received 1oo thousand taels of silver from Long Xiao, this was the beginning, the construction of the city wall was about to start, and Long Xiao must let the county manage it. That is to say, it is within its own jurisdiction, a big project of 16oo taels of silver, if it is two years down, he will have to get at least 2oo taels of silver, and if he transfers it away, this silver will be in vain.

Besides, Long Xiao now governs a Shenwu County so well, more than the rules and regulations of a prefect, not to mention anything else, that is, the annual fire consumption of silver has reached 3o thousand taels, plus all kinds of filial piety, there are also 3o thousand taels, which is 6o thousand taels of silver per year. There is also a business that he does in partnership with Long Xiao, which is 90,000 taels per month, and 1.8 million silver a year. Now that Governor Guo wants to be promoted, wouldn't he want his own life, at least three or four million taels of silver will be wasted.

If he is transferred, the dry shares of the rice grain village will automatically disappear, Long Xiao will not give it to himself again, he will give it to the new Zhixian, this is very clear to Lu Zhixian. When Lu Yanshou heard this, he hurriedly said: "Lord Guo, you are a lowly person who is shallow in your studies, and you don't do a good job, this is all the credit of Lord Longxiao, the lower official just wants to work in Shenwu County for a few more years, and now I don't want to be promoted, please see me." Guo Zihan saw that Lu Yanshou was unwilling to be promoted, so he believed even more that Lu Yanshou must have huge benefits, so he said: "Lord Lu, be modest, I have already reported to the Ministry of Officials, and I will come down in a few days, and I also hope that Lord Lu will focus on state affairs, I know your talents, you don't want to resign, being promoted to the prefect is the fifth grade, but the official is promoted to two levels, why are you not happy, you should thank me, it seems that Lord Lu is not very happy?" ”。

Lu Yanshou was full of bitterness on his face, he was simply dumb and eating Coptis chinensis, he couldn't say anything about his suffering, and he couldn't raise the bar with the governor, so he was anxious. didn't say anything at the moment, just hastily finished drinking with Long Xiao and Governor Guo, and went back in a hurry. After going back, I didn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it all night, I came up with an idea, that is, to bribe Guo Zihan, not to let Guo Zihan be promoted to his own official, and to work as a county magistrate for a few more years.

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Yanshou came to the inn where Governor Guo stayed with a 3o taels of silver tickets, and saw that Governor Guo hadn't gotten up yet, so he waited outside, until Governor Guo got up, so he quickly knocked on the door. Governor Guo opened the door and saw that it was Lu Zhixian, he was stunned for a moment, and then he understood, so he invited Lu Yanshou into his room: "Lord Lu, what's wrong today, we just had dinner together last night, and we came early this morning, do you have anything?" ”。 Lu Yanshou hurriedly took out 3o thousand taels of silver tickets and put them on the table: "Lord Guo, this is a little filial piety from the lower officials, just 3o thousand taels, please laugh at it?" ”。

Guo Zihan smiled and said: "Hehe, it is my duty to report to the Ministry of Officials, there is no need to be grand, right?" Lu Yanshou was dumbfounded when he heard this: "Lord Guo, I'm not here to thank you for giving me a promotion, I'm here to ask Lord Guo to withdraw the documents, I don't want to be promoted at the moment, as long as Lord Guo guarantees that I will serve in Shenwu County for a few more years, the lower officials will be grateful." Guo Zihan just smiled: "Lord Lu, everyone else is seeking to be promoted, you are good, begging me not to be promoted, is Shenwu County so good?" ”。

Lu Yanshou had no choice but to smile: "Lord Guo said that he was joking, the lower officials are only shallow in learning, and I want to stay in Shenwu County for a few more years, and when I am almost done, I will ask Lord Guo to give me a promotion, and at that time, I will be even more grateful." Guo Zihan understood, it seems that his scare worked. Guo Zihan didn't report to the Ministry of Officials at all, but just tested Lu Yanshou, and Lu Yanshou obediently sent 3o million silver, Guo Zihan knew, it seems that there is a lot of oil and water in Shenwu County, otherwise Lu Yanshou would not have given him 3o thousand taels of silver to prevent himself from being promoted.

Guo Zihan saw that his goal had been achieved, and he came here for this trip, and he made a net profit of 13o taels of silver, which can be regarded as okay, it seems that he has to come once a year, and he can't do without the regular silver of this god county. Guo Zihan immediately said that as long as there were no special changes, Lu Yanshou would be allowed to serve in Shenwu County, and he would not be transferred for at least five years, and Lu Yanshou said goodbye to Guo Zihan with great affection.

Guo Zihan's goal was achieved, after breakfast, he came to the Yamen of the magistrate of Shenwu County, Long Xiao and Lu Yanshou accompanied both sides, Guo Zihan gave a lecture on makeup, said some words that were not painful or itchy, and picked out some dispensable faults. Long Xiao took Guo Zihan to inspect the address of the city wall to be built, checked the scale, Guo Zihan was greatly appreciative, saying that once the project was completed, he would personally attend the completion ceremony, and celebrate it together, Long Xiao knew that his silver was sent, this is the fundamental, and everything else is not important. Governor Guo is here just to make money, and the rest is bullshit. No matter how big the city wall is, it has nothing to do with Guo Zihan.

Guo Zihan lived in Shenwu County for a day, and then hurriedly returned to the provincial county, and the rest was Long Xiao's own business, that is, Lu Zhixian couldn't count on it, his own 15oo taels of silver, there were still 12oo taels left, and there was a gap of 4oo taels, so he had to take out 4oo taels of money from the county Chenggong's account to make up for the vacancy. Long Xiao returned to his county Cheng Yamen, and thought about how to start the construction, and who needed to find someone to command this huge project. Long Xiao himself has no time, he still has to be on duty in the county Yamen, and he has to go to Wu's medicine shop to see a doctor, his schedule is full, Long Xiao thought of Wu Erlang Wu.

Long Xiao called someone over and asked, "Wu, I'll give you a thing, think about it, can you bear it?" ”。 The current Wu is in charge of the county's 1ooo patrols, and there are 2ooo patrols in the county, and the right is not small. The silver in his hands every month is tens of thousands of taels, and Long Xiao has secretly checked Wu's accounts several times, all of which are clear, and there is no silver that is greedy for ink. This is very difficult in a classic history, of course, it does not mean that Wu is not rude, Wu receives not 20,000 or 10,000 of the regular silver every month, but it is good to be able to do it without corruption.

Long Xiao took a fancy to him, so he wanted to hand over the supervision of the construction of the city wall to him, at least he could supervise the project without corruption. Wu asked, "Lord Long, what kind of thing?" Long Xiao: "We are going to expand the city wall in Shenwu County, you should have heard about it, this project is not small, I don't have time, I want to hand it over to you, of course, the support of the silver is managed by the master of the county, you just do a supervision work, you see no problem, right?" ”。 Wu was stunned when he heard it, Shenwu County is going to expand the city wall, it is already rumored, this is a big project, and the oil and water that is specifically responsible for it is indispensable, not to mention corruption, it is a normal regulation of silver, that is a huge amount, Wu was stunned when he heard it.

"Lord Long, do you think I can do it, there are so many officials in the county, I am just a novice", Long Xiao smiled: "I just fancy that you will not be corrupt, just this point, as for the future, I don't care how much money you receive, as long as you don't be greedy for the silver of the ink project, you can do this, right?" ”。 Wu Yi listened, this is not simple, he is not short of silver, since he took office, plus the business of the medicine shop and the rice grain village, he also has five or six hundred thousand taels of silver, why should he be greedy for ink, that is, looking for trouble.
