Long Xiao became an elder, more free in time, and the cooperation with the medical center in Qinglong Town under the mountain is even closer, although the Houde Hall of Qinglong Temple has the intention to let Long Xiao treat people in Houde Hall, but Long Xiao still feels that he is more free under the mountain, so he goes to the mountain to see people every day. After a few months of consultation, Long Xiao treated hundreds of patients with bone injuries, including 20 rich people, Long Xiao made a profit of 2,000 taels for the hospital, and he also got 8,000 taels of silver.

For this reason, in order to thank the Qinglong Temple for the convenience provided to him, Long Xiao donated 2,000 taels to the temple. Long Xiao himself is also very proud of this kind of life, and it is not bad to be able to make money every day. However, the good times didn't last long, and someone from the family sent a letter asking Long Xiao to go back, and the eldest brother Long Zhi wanted to go to Beijing to take the exam, and asked Long Xiao to accompany him.

Long Xiao returned home, and the eldest brother Long Zhi said: "Fourth brother, it is only more than three months before the Beijing examination, we have to enter Beijing in advance, first, to familiarize ourselves with the environment of the exam, and secondly, to have a preparation, can you accompany me to the capital?" Originally, I wanted your second brother and third brother to accompany me, but I think your kung fu is higher." Long Xiao smiled: "No problem, as long as the eldest brother can come back with a champion, let alone accompany him to the capital, he can accompany him for a few years."

At this time, Long Xingyou but Long Xiao smiled: "Long Xiao, our weaving factory is your suggestion draft, now there is very little business, more than 100,000 weaving horses every year, the trade has been done in the capital, when you accompany your eldest brother into Beijing, go to see our Long family's cloth shop, see where there is still an inappropriate place, what needs to be improved on the spot, don't worry about my face, I see that you are not old, but you are the most good at doing business among your brothers."

Long Zhi smiled and said: "Dad, what you said is right, Long Xiao went to Qinglong Temple to be a lay disciple to practice, and his kung fu did not fall, but the speed of making money is also very fast, and now the fourth brother has 10,000 taels of silver in his hand", Long Xing was surprised, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Long Xiao said about his own medical treatment in the Qinglong Temple Mountain Hospital, Long Xing was amazed for a long time, his son not only had amazing kung fu, but even his medical skills were so good, so he said: "After I see you, I will open a medical hall, such a speed of making money, It's almost time to catch up with our weaving mill."

Long Xiao just smiled, and Long Zhi said: "Dad, look at what you said, my kung fu is not as good as the fourth brother, I want to take a martial arts champion and come back, is the fourth brother just a doctor, I think it is better to be an official, not only to glorify the ancestors, but also to seal the wife and son, how good." Long Xing said with a smile: "I'll just talk about it for a while, your brothers have ambitions, how can I delay your future, the weaving factory at home earns more than 100,000 taels of silver every year, am I still not satisfied." By the way, Long Xing, a few days ago, someone sent 2,000 taels of gold to our family, what's going on, I asked the people who sent the gold, they didn't say it, they just said that it was given to Young Master Long Xing, what's going on? ”。

Long Xing had no choice but to tell the truth: "Dad, big brother, I said you, you must keep it secret, this is amazing, do you remember the year before last when I said to go to the mountains to play?" Long Xing remembered: "Yes, at that time, you said that you would go to the mountains to play, but it was a few days to play, and the family was very worried, what were you going to do?" ”。 Long Xiao told him how he defeated Wu Fa of Heilin Mountain, and he was respected by Wu Fa as the master of the village. Long Xing still didn't understand: "Could it be that the bandits are opening gold mines?" , Why is it so rich, isn't it just a robbery, it can't be the treasury of the provincial government that was robbed, right? ”。

Long Xiao smiled: "That's not it, there is really a gold mine in Heilin Mountain, and the output is not small, my annual income is 2,000 taels of gold." Long Xing was a little worried: "This matter is not trivial, if you let the housekeeper know, you will be accused of gangsters, not to mention the top prize, even if the examiner has it, it is not allowed, if you don't get it right, you will come to a Zhulian Nine Clan." Long Xingyi said, Long Xiao was really worried, he had crossed over in his previous life, and he was very clear about the darkness of officialdom, a person is rich, there must be someone from officialdom as a backer, how rich you are, how much background you need, otherwise, you will be eaten by the dark officialdom and there will be no scum left.

Long Xiao is about to enter Beijing to take the exam, and if these things are not handled well, they will invite disaster. Long Xiao discussed with his father whether to take out some money and pay homage to the current prefect and prefect. Long Xingji agreed. Long Xing took out three thousand taels of silver and asked Long Xiao to go to the prefect to deal with the prefect. Long Xiao first came to the county office of Shenwu County, saying that he was looking for the county to report something. Zhixian Sun Youliang is a newly arrived magistrate, who was born in the last Jinshi, but he was waiting in the capital for three years, and he was able to do it this year.

After Sun Youliang arrived, he also wanted to loot the people's wealth and enrich his family wealth, but when the master saw it, his heart was cold. There are not many businesses in the county, and the tax is pitiful, and the agriculture in Shenwu County is not very good, so the grain tax is not enough, Shenwu County has only 400,000 people, and the poll tax is not much, and the predecessor also left himself a deficit of 50,000 vehicles.

Originally, according to Sun Youliang's temper, he wanted to re-examine his predecessor, but he was stopped by his master, and if he re-investigated, he might put his predecessor in prison, but in that case, Sun Youliang would have a bad reputation as a such, and no one would dare to associate with Sun Youliang in the future. Another problem is that it is very likely to delay Sun Youliang's appointment. Sun Youliang spent only 500 taels of silver in his family to get this real shortage, if the chicken flies and the egg is beaten, Sun Youliang's life will be over.

Therefore, Sun Youliang gritted his teeth and resisted the deficit of 50,000 taels. After Sun Youliang took office, the first thing he considered was these problems, he was poor, and even his master's salary was on the account, but he couldn't get a tael of silver.

Sun Youliang saw that a box of seventeen or eighteen children came to see him, and he had to go to the internal office to talk, Sun Youliang was a little impatient, what confidential things can you say about a milky hairy child. However, Long Xiao was very old-fashioned, so he moved Sun Youliang to his heart. Sun Youliang invited Long Xiao into his backyard. He asked, "Who are you?" What are you here for? ”。

Long Xiao just smiled: "I am from Wolong Village in this county, my father's name is Long Xing, I am his fourth child, called Long Xiao, there is nothing else to do today, as long as I visit the county magistrate." Sun Youliang's eyes widened when he heard it, he heard it before he came, saying that there is a big weaver in Shenwu County, and the business has been done in the capital, and it has also done a lot of money, with an annual income of more than 200,000 silver, and he was trying to find an excuse to let this big weaver sponsor some, but he didn't expect that he would send it to the door, and Sun Youliang was overjoyed.

Sun Youliang's blue face immediately softened: "It turned out to be Gongzi Long, it's easy to say, what advice do you have?" Long Xiao took out the one thousand taels of silver tickets in his arms, put them on the table, and pushed them in front of Sun Youliang: "Lord Sun Zhixian, I just mean this, I am congratulating you, you are a new official, you need to subsidize the family, small meaning, please accept it, there will be heavy thanks in the future."

Sun Youliang's mouth can't be closed, is this 1000 taels, or is it a small meaning, how much does it mean a big one? is still a rich son, the shot is 1000 taels, it is really generous, Sun Youliang can't wait to kneel down to Long Xiao: "Okay, I'll take it, Long Xiao Gongzi, don't dare to say anything else, if it's on the ground in Shenwu County, as long as there is something, just say", Long Xiao naturally doesn't need to say anything about helping, Sun Youliang understands that people's 1,000 taels of silver are not picked up, since they are sent, they need to be reciprocated. Long Xiao said goodbye to Sun Youliang, and the next step was to give gifts to the prefect. Long Xiao came to the prefect's yamen, but he heard bad news.
