Ever since the things were sent out, Du Yuzhang had been anxiously waiting for the will from the capital. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and on this day, he finally waited for the angel who delivered the decree.

The heart that had been carrying it was finally put down, and Du Yuzhang knelt down respectfully, full of anticipation in his heart. The edict was very long, and the front was full of nonsense, but Du Yuzhang listened to it very patiently. After reading the edict, Du Yuzhang could no longer restrain the great joy in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

He was transferred to Beijing, but his position was different from what he had heard before, but he was directly promoted by two levels. In addition, there are countless rewards, all of which are due to the great achievements he has made this time.

After the joy, Du Yuzhang immediately sealed a thick red envelope to the angel who delivered the message, and asked him who the new Qingzhou prefect was.

He specifically mentioned Shang Shigong's merits in the recital, and recommended Shang Shigong to succeed him as the prefect of Qingzhou, but he did not dare to guarantee that the emperor would agree.

The angel smiled and congratulated him, but he didn't hide it, but said frankly: "Our family still has a will here, which is to order merchants and scholars to Qingshan County." His Majesty's intention is to let him take over as the prefect of Qingzhou. ”

Du Yuzhang was overjoyed when he heard this, and the emperor agreed to his recommendation. In this way, he does not owe merit to the merchants. However, Shang Shigong does have some ability, and he can take advantage of this incident to win over Shang Shigong.

Du Yuzhang thanked the angel with a smile and sealed him with a red envelope. The angel still didn't refuse, accepted it with a smile, and said some congratulatory words to Du Yuzhang. However, he didn't tell Du Yuzhang that he went to deliver the decree to Shang Shigong this time, and the emperor also explained to him some things to tell Shang Shigong.

Take a break after eating. The angel did not continue to stay, but hurried to Qingshan County. Serve the merit of the merchants.

His speed is very fast, and Shang Shigong has not received the news yet. I'm in a hurry. Because Gu Haotian went and returned, Shang Shigong was even more eager for power. But as the days passed, he became more and more worried. After all, even if Du Yuzhang recommended him to the emperor, it depended on whether the emperor would agree.

What's more, the position of a prefect, I don't know how many people grab it. He has a small county order, why should he rob those big families?

Just when he was so anxious that he had a burning bubble on his mouth, the angel who delivered the message arrived.

Shang Shigong was directly stunned by this huge joy. Until the angel stood in front of him, he was still stunned and didn't react. Fortunately, his subordinates reminded him in time, and he suddenly came back to his senses and led people to kneel down to listen to the order.

After the first nonsense ended, it finally came to the point, Shang Shigong succeeded as the prefect of Qingzhou, and there were some rewards.

The reward was not much, and this was deliberately done by Emperor Taizu. Although the Du family is his confidant, he doesn't want the Du family's power to continue to develop, to the point that he can't control it.

Probably because the throne under his ass was snatched from someone else by rebellion. Emperor Taizu was very worried that other people would also come to snatch the chair under his buttocks, so he was extremely careful and tried his best to control the power of those big families.

Shang Shigong didn't think too much about it, and being able to become the prefect of Qingzhou was the biggest surprise for him. Those rewards were just a few additions to him.

He received the will from the angel with great emotion and reverence. However, because the angel came suddenly, he did not prepare the red envelope in time. I could only look at the angel in embarrassment.

The angel was not angry, but congratulated him with a smile. And told him in a low voice: "Your Majesty still has some words for our family to pass on to Lord Shang, and it is inconvenient to say them here." Can you change places? ”

This person is one of Emperor Taizu's confidants and eunuchs, usually very good at being a man, and his heart is very cunning, but he is loyal to Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu specially asked him to pass on the decree this time, just so that he could pass on the message to Shang Shigong.

So this person understood that Emperor Taizu wanted to cultivate Shang Shigong to become a new confidant, so that he could use this group of people to deal with those old families in the future. With this understanding, he naturally would not give the merchant a face because of a little benefit.

Shang Shigong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and various thoughts instantly turned in his heart. He didn't think much of it, and immediately invited the angel to the study to talk in detail.

On the way to the study, a Qingxiu sent Shang Shigong a delicate sachet, saying that it was given by Li Shuhua. Shang Shigong instantly understood and gave the sachet to the angel who delivered the message.

After entering the study, Shang Shigong respectfully invited the angel to take a seat, and then knelt down. The angel didn't stop him, and waited for Shang Shigong to kneel down before he said: "Lord Shang, Your Majesty let our family tell you that he knows all your merits." Your Majesty hopes that after you become the prefect of Qingzhou, you can make persistent efforts to continue to work for the benefit of the people and govern Qingzhou better. As long as you swear allegiance to Your Majesty, Your Majesty will never treat you badly. ”

Shang Shigong listened to his words, and his face tightened instantly, but fortunately he lowered his head, and the angel didn't see it. Shang Shigong is not a fool, the emperor specially asked the angel to tell him this sentence, which is nothing more than to beat him and make him understand that the emperor has many ears and eyes, and the emperor knows what he does. And Du Yuzhang is not trustworthy, most of his credit this time was robbed by Du Yuzhang.

Especially the last sentence, the words that made him swear allegiance to the death made Shang Shigong's heart chill for a while. The emperor's meaning is too obvious, this is clearly telling him that it is the emperor who he wants to be loyal to, not the imperial court, let alone the Du family!

After the angel finished speaking, he waited for a while, and before Shang Shigong swore allegiance, his face changed slightly, and there was a little more coldness in his originally kind eyes. He reminded, "Lord Shang, do you understand? ”

Shang Shigong's heart was stunned, and he immediately bowed down and said: "The lower official will definitely swear allegiance to His Majesty!" ”

Only then did the angel smile a little more on his face, and let Shang Shigong get up with a smile, and said at the same time: "In this case, our family wishes Lord Shang a prosperous official fortune and a high rise step by step!" ”

Shang Shigong smiled shyly, but his hands hidden in his wide-sleeved robe were instantly clenched. The emperor's eyes and ears may be everywhere, which really frightens him, and Du Yuzhang's approach makes him even more chilling. Although he understood early on that Du Yuzhang could not fully attribute the credit to him, he did not expect that Du Yuzhang would do so much!

This made him understand once again the benefits of power. In Du Yuzhang's eyes, his merit may be just a low-level ant, he didn't take all the credit, and even recommended him in front of the emperor, which was a great kindness to him.

Of course, there is another reason why he is so angry, Du Yuzhang has not only robbed him of his credit, but also his precious daughter's hard work in the past four years!

Shang Shigong specially invited the angel to 'Yipin Xian' to eat, after all, the seeds sent were all seeds, and the emperor didn't know what it would look like. The angel went to see the 'Yipin Xian', and the emperor would naturally know the situation of the 'Yipin Xian', and he would know more about the value of those seeds.

Of course, he also did this to show his loyalty to the emperor.

Although, he knew very well that the emperor's spies must have informed the situation of 'Yipin Xian'.

Angels are not less rewarded with imperial meals in the palace, and the imperial meals in the palace are all seasoned with good things, and the taste is not comparable to the dishes outside. However, after seeing the 'Yipin Xian' in person, the angel was still deeply shocked.

At that moment, he even had the idea of poaching the cook. But after hesitation, he didn't. He saw ambition and wisdom in Shang Shigong. Such a person's future achievements will definitely not be ordinary. Although he is greedy for this delicacy, he will not offend the merchant for a little appetite.

What's more, how could he not see that the dishes of 'Yipin Xian' are better than the freshness of the ingredients, which he has never seen before. The seeds were sent to the capital, and they didn't grow at all in a short time, so even if the cook was poached, it would be useless.

After a short rest, the angel left Qingshan County. He also had to return to Beijing to resume his life and tell Emperor Taizu about the situation in Qingshan County, but he didn't dare to delay for too long.

All the things he should do have been done, and someone else will naturally take over the rest.

Shang Shigong sent the angel away, and he was relieved in his heart. The angel saw that he was extraordinary, but how could he not see the extraordinaryness of the angel?

Heaven makes it impossible to be guilty, not to mention, this person is obviously still the emperor's henchman, so he can't afford to be guilty!

After receiving the will, all that remains is the handover of work and the succession of the prefect of Qingzhou. When the time comes, he will naturally have to go to Qingzhou City, which will have to move.

There were a lot of things, and the merchants were suddenly in chaos. The merchant's house was provided by the imperial court, and they had to leave, and none of the original things in the house could be taken away. The ornaments and utensils were piled up in the warehouse by Li Shuhua, and now they are all newly purchased by herself.

Now if you want to move, these things have to be moved, and then the things in the warehouse will be restored, and there will be someone responsible for counting them at that time.

The merchants are in chaos, and the Du family in Qingzhou City is similar. The situation of the Du family is similar to that of the business, except for the house, there is no use of the things provided by the public at all, all of them are brought by themselves. Now that you want to move back to the capital, it is not easy to just clean up.

The He family and the Gu family also got the news, and the two families had similar ideas. Gu Haotian and Gu Yunhai originally didn't pay attention to Shang Shigong at all, but they didn't expect that Shang Shigong actually caught up with Du Yuzhang's line, and now it is even more amazing, and he has actually become the prefect of Qingzhou!

Although the merchants have no foundation, but the merchants have become the prefect of Qingzhou, they must be treated carefully.

Gu Haotian regretted it, if he knew that the things that the Dao businessman Gong gave to Du Yuzhang were so important, even if he offended Du Yuzhang, he would have to stay in Qingshan County and find out the matter of the grange clearly.

Now, however, it's too late!

The He family was also surprised when they learned the news, except for He Yunqi, who knew the Tao early in the morning.

He Yunqi has memories of his previous life, and he will become the prefect of Qingzhou. So at the beginning, what she wanted was to have a good relationship with the business. With this relationship between the merchants, the He family's business is naturally easier.

However, because of He Yuanfang's matter, the He family's merchants still went farther and farther away after all, and almost broke off contact after the last.

Thinking of this, He Yunqi sighed. However, He Liu's mind came alive again. (To be continued......)
