After the prefect Wang left, Long Xiao knew that the new prefect Xu Rushan was about to arrive, and sure enough, within a month, Wang Kexin was transferred away, and went to another place or Ren Prefect's Mansion, and was not promoted, the reason was that he was too greedy and reluctant to go to the Ministry of Officials to do something, this time, Wang Kexin went to the northwest of the Sui Dynasty, located in a desolate location, and the income of the county in a year was only tens of thousands of taels, and it was impossible for Wang Kexin to be corrupt. However, Wang Kexin took millions of taels of silver in Lancang Mansion, which was enough for him to spend a lifetime, and Wang Kexin has been staying in the northwest since then, but he can't be transferred back, this is a later story.

Xu Rushan took office, as a rule, Long Xiao went to visit, Long Xiao came to Xu Rushan's house with a silver ticket, and greeted Xu Rushan for a while: "Lord Xu is finally here, and the lower officials are looking forward to it." After Long Xiao finished speaking, he took out a stack of silver tickets, Xu Rushan looked at it, it turned out to be 2oo thousand taels, Xu Rushan was taken aback, and said that Shenwu County was rich, but he didn't expect it to be so rich, and he gave 2oo taels when he took office, it seems that this Long Xiao is also very rich, Xu Rushan thought, if he was in office for the last term, wouldn't he have an income of 10 million taels of silver? Xu Rushan felt happy when he thought about it.

Xu Rushan entertained Long Xiao with good wine and good food, and when he pushed the cup with Long Xiao, he called him a brother and a brother, and Long Xiao was also willing to socialize, so he was commensurate with Xu Rushan as a brother, so he was not called an official position. When Xu Rushan was in the capital, he also heard that Long Xiao spent 100 million taels of silver in order to buy the ancient sword, which was already well-known in the capital, and even the emperor knew about it. Xu Rushan saw that Long Xiao saw that he gave himself 2oo taels of silver, and he was also very grateful, so he took out the sword that the emperor gave to his father, and he wanted to give it to Long Xiao: "Brother Long Xian, this is the sword that the emperor gave to my father in the past, and I took a fancy to it, so I asked my father for it, I mean I think it's fun, since Brother Long Xian likes swords so much, I'll give it to you."

Long Xiao lost interest when he saw that it was not the Mo Evil Divine Sword, but he couldn't say that, if everyone knew that he was looking for the Mo Evil Divine Sword, things would be very bad, and it was very likely that some people would suspect that the Mo Evil Divine Sword had an ulterior secret, so they would not sell it to themselves. I had to pretend to like it: "Brother Xu, I like swords, but this is a reward from the emperor to your family, but you can't give it away at will, if the emperor asks one day, it's hard to say." Xu Rushan said with a smile: "Give it to others, I don't dare, but it doesn't matter if you give it to the virtuous brother, you are the master of the horse, it doesn't matter if the emperor knows, anyway, everyone in the world knows that you like swords, it doesn't matter if you give it to you, you just accept it."

Long Xiao had no choice but to accept it, and after Long Xiao returned to Shenwu County, he let go of most of his heart, and gave him 2oo taels of silver to bring peace to Shenwu County, and it was worth it, and he also got a sword with a reward, which was worth it. However, within a few days, the prefect sent a messenger, saying that the prefect Xu was coming to Shenwu County to investigate, and Long Xiao muttered in his heart. It seems that 2oo taels can't stop the appetite of a prefect, after Xu Rushan is a high-ranking official, he has seen a lot of money, and the annual silver of the Ministry of Rites is not more than 10 million, it seems that Xu Rushan is no exception, and the land of Shenwu County is about to drop by a foot.

After a few days, Xu Rushan came, he came in a carriage, and he brought a lot of officials, about 2oo people, and naturally took the master, first in the county yamen to observe Long Xiao's trial of the case for a day, and then listened to the county yamen for a day, and finally listened to the yamen of the four city gates for four days, and finally talked with Long Xiao for a day, fully affirming Long Xiao's political achievements. said that Long Xiao's governance was very good, but it was not as good as Long Xiao's governance in the capital, especially the county Cheng and the Dianshi Yamen under Long Xiao's rule, who did better, and praised Long Xiao's errand.

Long Xiao was strange, could it be that Xu Rushan didn't come to ask for money, or to praise himself? Long Xiao thought about it, and suddenly he figured it out, this Xu Rushan is a master, not to find fault with you, but to kill, if you know the interest, quickly send the silver, if you don't send the silver, the prefect has a way, continue to let you be high, until you fall from the sky and fall to pieces. Long Xiao figured out this joint, and felt that Xu Rushan was the master of officialdom. If you want money, you won't be able to tell you what's wrong.

So, Long Xiao came up with a way, and asked Xu Rushan if it was the day of his birthday, and Xu Rushan said that there were three days left before his birthday, and Long Xiao would count it. I implored Xu Rushan to celebrate his birthday in Shenwu County, Xu Rushan humbly said: "Brother Long Xian, I'm still young, what kind of birthday is it", Long Xiao knew that Xu Rushan was humble: "Brother Xu, you and I are confidants, don't say kind words, when you go to see me, you give me face, how can I have no return as a brother, that's it, in our Shenwu County, there is a very good restaurant, called Lingyan Pavilion, three days later, I will wrap him down, let's have a lively time, there is no other meaning."

Xu Rushan had no choice but to agree, and on that day, Long Xiao sent his master to charter the Lingyan Pavilion restaurant, and notified all the yamen in Shenwu County, as well as all the merchants, who were voluntary, as long as they were willing to come to Xu Zhifu's birthday celebration, they could come to congratulate him, and there would be a banquet for Long Xiao. The master arranged it. Long Xiao invited the troupe and opened a flowing water seat in Lingyan Pavilion, as long as you come, you can watch the play and drink in Lingyan Pavilion.

In Shenwu County, if you want to say that others can't do it, Long Xiao is the county, but it has appeal, under an order, people from all walks of life come to congratulate the birthday, not to mention the merchants to congratulate, that is, all the yamen come to congratulate thousands of people, each of whom is 1o taels of silver, but it is 10,000 taels. And Long Xiao and the county master book history is 5o taels of silver per person, Mufu Winery and Wu's silk are 2oo taels of silver, 15oo Qinglou is 2oo taels per family without exception, and other merchants are free according to their minds, but there are also a lot, and there are as many as 1o thousand taels. On Xu Rushan's birthday, Long Xiao scavenged 45o taels of silver for him, and Xu Rushan was very excited. Even Xu Rushan himself didn't expect that he had collected 65o taels of silver in Shenwu County in less than a month after he took office, which is simply impossible in other prefects, even if he has been in office for several terms.

Xu Rushan saw that Long Xiao was so generous, and he also looked like Long Xiao intended to please himself, and he couldn't help but express that after he went back, he arranged for his master to write two long documents, one of which was sent to the Ministry of Officials, to reward Long Xiao for governing the county; One is to start the emperor, asking the emperor to commend Long Xiao's political achievements, Long Xiao has been in office for many years, and has governed a poor and scumbag fetish county into a rich county like heaven. This is also Xu Rushan's ability to be a man, and it doesn't take much effort or money to write excerpts for the officials, just to say good things. Besides, Long Xiao's death of the emperor's concubine, praising Long Xiao is praising the emperor in disguise, and the emperor himself is happy to see the excerpt, after all, Long Xiao, the county of Zhixian, was personally sealed by the emperor.

This is Xu Rushan's shrewdness, Xu Rushan's father is the secretary of the ministry, seeing that Xu Rushan wrote an excerpt less than a month after he took office and asked the emperor to reward Long Xiao, the magistrate of Shenwu County, he already knew that his son must have received the great benefits of Long Xiao, and he didn't dare to say more, at least 1oo million silver. In the letter, Xu Rushan asked how much filial piety he had gotten, Xu Rushan said that he got 65o thousand taels, and even Xu Qingkui, the secretary of the ministry, was surprised, he was the secretary of the ministry, and the benefits of a year were only 10 million taels, but he didn't expect that his son, a small prefect, got the benefit of 65o taels of silver after only one month in office. It seems that it is the right thing for me to let my son go to Lancang Mansion, if he does it for a few terms, his son will be full of money.

Xu Qingkui is not a person who does not repay his kindness, knowing that Long Xiao is also pleasing himself to his son, since Long Xiao let his son get 65o taels of silver, he can't let Long Xiao suffer, anyway, the country has money, even the emperor has countless family properties, why not take the country's silver to give favors? Xu Qingkui played an excerpt to the emperor. Long Xiao's political achievements, which were praised in the documents, said that Long Xiao was a rare talent, and he should be praised by the imperial court.

The emperor saw the two excerpts played by Xu's father and son, both of whom praised Long Xiao, and Long Yan was also overjoyed, and felt that he had more face, so he ordered the household department to reward Long Xiao, and he rewarded Long Xiao with 10,000 catties of gold, which can be regarded as a reward for this son-in-law. Xu Qingkui saw that the emperor rewarded Long Xiao with 1o thousand taels of gold, so he felt that his heart was a little balanced, and he took the emperor's gold to give favors, which could be regarded as worthy of Long Xiao.
