"Daddy, the man is here again."

In Cai's mansion, when Cai Jing was writing at the desk, his eldest son Honglu Cheng Cai Youyu reported.

"What man? He's your brother. Cai Jing put down his pen and smiled: "Invite him in." ”

What brother? What kind of brother is this? I don't know where to pick up the brother, Cai You muttered a few words in his heart and then turned around and went out.

Cai You hated Cai Jing's vulgar son in his heart, not to mention the smell of copper all over his body, and his words and actions were also extremely frivolous, which was despised.

Cai Jing then stretched, moved his muscles and bones, picked up the tea bowl and drank the fragrant tea, and suddenly felt much refreshed.

At this time, Cai Jing was deeply favored and put the handout department in control, that is to say, what the emperor Zhao Ji could give him had already been given to him, so Cai Jing must repay Zhao Ji with his achievements, and he must quickly reverse the financial dilemma of the imperial court, otherwise he will be regarded by Zhao Ji as a boastful person, considered an incompetent person, and at this time, Cai Jing's fate will be the same as Han Zhongyan, Zeng Bu and others. And this is Cai Jing's last chance, if he doesn't succeed, then he will lose the opportunity forever.

Therefore, Cai Jing went all out, as if facing a great enemy, and used all his methods to increase the revenue of the state treasury and quickly reverse the financial situation of the imperial court.

The fastest and most convenient way to reverse the financial embarrassment of the imperial court is to implement the "currency reform", because money is wealth, or money is part of wealth.

"The child has kowtowed to his father-in-law." When Cai Jing was in deep thought, Zhu Mian was led in by Cai You, and Zhu Mian kowtowed three times when he met.

You are not afraid of breaking your head, Cai You pursed his lips when he saw this, and secretly despised in his heart.

"You don't have to be polite, please me quickly." Cai Jing stretched out his right hand, and after holding it up for a while, he said to Zhu Mian with a smile.

The south and the north kneel, the Song kneeling ceremony is not very polite, even the ministers do not kneel every time they see the emperor, in most cases, they meet each other with a bow of hands, and the same is true between father and son, not every time they kneel.

But when Zhu Mian met Cai Jing again and again, he knelt down and saluted, closer than Cai Jing's own sons, and more respectful than Cai You, Cai Ying and others, which made the scheming and sophisticated Cai Jingjing blush...

"Father-in-law, my son congratulates my father-in-law." After Zhu Mian got up from the ground, he took out a pair of Pixiu paperweights made of pure gold as he spoke, put them on top of Cai Jing's bookcase, and said with a smile: "This is a congratulatory gift for children." ”

"Oh? What joy is there for a father? Cai Jing asked with a smile while playing with the golden Pixiu paperweight.

"My father-in-law will soon ascend to the prime minister's throne, so what is it that is not a happy event?" Zhu Mian replied with a smile: "I heard that the edict has been prepared today." ”

"Hugh is nonsense!" Cai You couldn't help but scold when he heard this: "Where did you hear about it?" How can this kind of thing be hearsay? Wouldn't it be bad if it came into the ears of today? ”

"You don't have to blame him." Cai Jing heard the words and said: "Mian'er is also happy for her father, but Mian'er, this matter should really be listened to by your eldest brother, not hearsay, we should be cautious, so it is appropriate." ”

"The child knows." Zhu Mian bowed down when he heard this.

Cai Jing nodded and asked, "Mian'er came here today, not just to congratulate his father, right?" ”

"Father-in-law!" After thinking for a while, Zhu Mian replied: "The child came this time for two things, the first thing is that the child has been idle for a while, and I implore the father-in-law to arrange some dispatches for the child, and the second thing is... Is the stone tablet outside the Duanli Gate missing the name of the pok? ”

"Splash? He is the champion of the Gengchen branch in the third year of Yuan Fu. Cai You looked at Zhu Mian disdainfully and said.

Of course, Cai You knows who Zhu Mian's mouth refers to by "splashing talents", compared to Zhu Mian, Li Sanjian's impression of Cai You is several times better, compared to Zhu Mian, Li Sanjian is a personable young scholar, and Zhu Mian is a splashy and talented... Although Cai You didn't understand why Li Sanjian suddenly wanted to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, he suddenly broke off his relationship with Cai Jing...

After Cai Jing smiled and waved his hand at Cai You, he said to Zhu Mian: "Do you think it is useful to put this person's name on the list of traitors at present?" Son, the favor of this person is not under the father, and this person has been an official in Quanzhou for nearly two years, but the grace has not diminished, therefore... ”

At this time, even if Cai Jing included Li Sanjian in the list of "Yuan You's traitorous party", even if Li Sanjian lost Zhao Ji's favor, but at this time, Li Sanjian had already stayed away from the imperial court and was "assigned" to Quanzhou, so the worst result of dealing with Li Sanjian was not dethroned? At most, it will be distributed to Lingnan, Qiongtai and other desolate border places, and Quanzhou is not much different at all, and sent to Qiongtai, Li Sanjian can be regarded as returning to his hometown...

"Father-in-law, this... So... What should we do in the future? Zhu Mian was unusually depressed when he heard this, so he asked.

"Two years is not enough." Cai Jing said, took a tea bowl, grabbed it in his hand, lifted it two inches away from the table, and then let go, the tea bowl fell on the table, and there was a sound when it collided with the table, but the tea bowl was not damaged at all.

Cai You and Zhu Mian both looked at Cai Jing inexplicably, not knowing what he meant?

Cai Jing smiled slightly, grabbed the tea bowl again, lifted it sideways off the table, and then let go, the tea bowl fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, and the tea bowl fell to pieces.

"Do you understand now?" Cai Jing then asked Cai You and Zhu Mian.

Cai You and Zhu Mian nodded together as if they didn't understand.

"Mian'er, what you will do in the future is to pay attention to this person's every move, not only to pay attention to his every move in the future, but also to try to inquire about what he did in the past, that is, what he did when he was an official in Kaifeng Mansion." Cai Jing said slowly to Zhu Mian.

"The child obeys the orders of the righteous father!" Zhu Mian was overjoyed and happily responded, and then said to Cai Jing with a difficult face: "But... But the child has no job and no power now... ”

This is asking for power again, Cai Jing said secretly in his heart, so Cai Jing nodded and said to Zhu Mian: "Aren't you doing it at the moment?" In this case, you should go to the Bureau of Creation as an official first. ”

"Thank you, Father-in-law!" Zhu Mian was really overjoyed at this time, and hurriedly thanked.

The so-called bureau is to concentrate thousands of craftsmen to make various handicrafts for the palace, or to buy all kinds of treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, exotic flowers and stones and other things for the palace.

What makes Zhu Mian excited is that as an official in the Creation Bureau, not only does he have a lot of real power, he can exploit the local government or the people as much as he wants, but he also has the possibility of getting in touch with the current saint, which is the most important thing.

In this way, how could Zhu Mian not be ecstatic, so happy that his whole heart was about to pop out

Kind...

In less than two years, the Jiangnan Bureau was renamed Suzhou Yingfeng Bureau, with Zhu Mian as the promotion officer, specifically for Zhao Ji to collect strange flowers and stones, famous trees and fruits from all over the southeast, and transport the Beijing division by land and water, which is the so-called "Flower Stone Gang".

This is a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

"Father, this person is a market man, why should he be reused?" After Zhu Mian left, Cai You turned his head and asked Cai Jingdao.

"The important ministers of the court have the use of the important ministers of the court, and the disciples of the market have the wonders of the people of the market." Cai Jing smiled when he heard this: "My father's ability to return to Beijing again has nothing to do with my father's ability to use people, and besides, compared to the important ministers of the imperial court, it is easy to control." ”

Cai You thinks about it, how can the mercenary villain in the market be compared with Cai Jing and others who are full of wealth? It is indeed much easier to control them than the important ministers of the imperial court.

"Although Li Sanjian in Quanzhou was a few days ago... Although there were inappropriate words a few days ago, why didn't Daddy fight for this person? Cai You asked again.

"If he could be used by me, he wouldn't go to Quanzhou by himself." Cai Jing replied after pondering for a long time.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

A wharf somewhere in Quanzhou, Song Fujian Road

"Who is this person?"

"Could it be a pirate?"

"Wouldn't it? He was ragged, but he looked like a beggar. ”

"Hey, boatman, who is this? Why is this the case? ”

"If you go back to the official master, the little one doesn't know, he has no money to eat and drink on the boat, so he fainted on the dock when he got off the boat."

"Well, he must be hungry, come on, feed him some rice porridge."

"Where is the rice porridge around here?"

"Shhh, don't say it, Li Taishou and Patrol Wu are here."

On the Quanzhou wharf, when several inspectors and some boatmen were discussing around a teenager lying on the wharf, Li Sanjian, the governor of Quanzhou, and Wu Miaoshan, the inspector of the Quanzhou Inspection Department, came over, so everyone got out of the way.

Li Sanjian looked at the young man who fell to the ground with some surprise, but Wu Miaoshan lowered his body and checked the young man's clothes and face.

The boy was no more than twenty years old, his face covered in mud and grassy hair, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and his hands were folded on his chest, as if he were holding something.

"Who is this man? Why did you faint here? Li Sanjian asked after looking at it for a moment.

"Back to Li Taishou's words." An inspector replied: "The little ones have just arrived here, and they found this person, and I heard from the boatman that he was fainted by hunger." ”

"Oh, let's go find some rice porridge and wake him up first." Li Sanjian nodded.

The two inspectors bowed in response, and were about to turn around and look for rice porridge.

"Fair, and slow!" When the two sides were about to leave, they were stopped by Wu Miaoshan.

Li Sanjian looked at Wu Miaoshan suspiciously.

"Zhizhou Xianggong, this person is not Han, he is a Khitan." Wu Miaoshan looked at it for a moment and said.

Khitans? Li Sanjian was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly lowered his body and looked at the young man carefully.

If this person is really a Khitan, then this is the first time Li Sanjian has seen a Khitan, so it has aroused Li Sanjian's great interest.
