The county magistrate of Wugong County is called Liu Chi, he was originally a county magistrate, and the county magistrate was Zhu Jun's confidant.

When he heard that Wei Xiancheng had brought his relatives to be convicted of a felony, he couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked Xiancheng for questioning.

Wei Xiancheng didn't dare to hide it, and told him what happened today, Liu Chi was also scared into a cold sweat, and the personal soldiers of the King of Jin came forward, so it was not a private matter of the King of Jin.

"The origin of that Zhou Junyu, Wang Ji should know!"

"I asked him on the humble road, he only knew that it was a pair of mother and son who asked for food, from Yongxian, he saw that Zhou Junyu was strong, so he deceived him into being a slave in the name of summoning his son-in-law, and deceived the mother and son into being illiterate."

Liu Chi walked a few steps with his hand in his hand, and suddenly said: "Since he is a slave, there should be a record in the county!" ”

A sentence reminded Wei Xiancheng that there was indeed a deed, and this matter was handled by him.

"Yes! Humble to find it. ”

Wei Xiancheng hurriedly went, and after a while, he took a copy of the official record of the identity deed and handed it to the county order, "There is a place of origin on it, he is from Mingsha County, Lingzhou." ”

"There's trouble!"

Liu Chi rubbed his hands and said, "King Jin's hometown seems to be Mingsha County, Lingzhou. ”

He thought for a moment and asked, "What is his mother's last name?" ”

Wei Xiancheng saw their transaction book, he closed his eyes and thought about it, and suddenly said, "It seems to be called Guo Ping." ”

The two looked at each other, and they both understood that this Zhou Junyu was the nephew of His Royal Highness King Jin.

"So what are we going to do?" Wei Xiancheng suddenly panicked, "Why don't you kill Wang Ji and send the head to apologize." ”

"Don't worry!"

Liu Chi forced himself to calm down and asked, "Tell me, what did King Jin's personal soldier general say?" ”

Wei Xiancheng thought for a while and said: "He said, His Royal Highness the King of Jin doesn't want to be strong and oppressive, and asks how Wang Ji exploited Zhou Junyu in two years, and calculate the accounts clearly, not a penny is missing, let us deal with it properly." ”

Liu Chi paced back and forth with his hands in his hands, thinking about this matter carefully, he thought for a long time, walked back and threw the deed into the brazier, and in a moment, the deed turned into a wisp of green smoke.

"Go and bring Wang Ji's share too!"

"That has been torn off by His Royal Highness the King of Jin."

Liu Chi nodded, "Sure enough, it's not what I expected." ”

He solemnly said to Wei Xiancheng: "You must remember two things, first, there are no slaves and deeds of sale, and there is no son-in-law, Zhou Junyu is doing odd jobs for Wang Ji, and the two sides made an agreement at that time; Second, according to the maximum price of odd jobs per month, the accounts should be settled. ”

"In this way, His Royal Highness the King of Jin will not pursue it?"

Liu Chi sighed and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin will not deal with a small person like Wang Ji, it will damage his identity, we killed Wang Ji to please him, but it is self-defeating, if he wants to kill Wang Ji, he will never let us do it, understand?" ”

Wei Xiancheng wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I understand!" ”

Liu Chi continued: "Secondly, His Royal Highness the King of Jin definitely does not want his relatives to bear the reputation of slaves, and compare their hearts with their hearts, even if it is us, we are unwilling, so we first completely erase the slave status without knowing it, and then treat it as a lease dispute, and finally we use a more just way to solve it, so that it is more secure." ”

Wei Xiancheng gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's still the county lord who is clever and admires his humble duties!" ”

Liu Chi was proud in his heart, and he said lightly: "The more upper-level bigwigs are, the more he cherishes his reputation, and he will never let some trivial things ruin his reputation, so the more fair we deal with it, the more satisfied he is." ”

Wei Xiancheng's heart fell to the ground, he thought for a while and said: "I asked Wang Ji, Zhou Junyu wants to plant 200 acres of Shangtian, according to what the county Jun said, Zhou Junyu rents Wang Ji's land, 200 acres of Shangtian can earn 300 yuan a year and two seasons, pay half of the tenant rent, 150 yuan a year, and 300 yuan in two years." ”

Liu Chi nodded, "At this price, let Wang Ji take it out, so that he can remember this lesson for the rest of his life." ”

After a pause, Liu Chi instructed again: "This matter is related to the future of you and me, and you must not pass it on to a third person, tell Wang Ji that Zhou Junyu is the brother of that general, and you will carry this matter for him." ”

"Humble, remember!"

..........

Three days later, Guo Song also met his nephew, who was indeed a very good young man, kind, simple, and filial to his mother, but burly, with long arms, and a good figure for practicing martial arts, but unfortunately he was eighteen years old and missed the best period for practicing martial arts.

But as long as he can train hard and add his own talent, he may be able to catch up.

"You want to join the army?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

Zhou Junyu nodded resolutely, "I don't want to rely on my uncle to get ahead, I want to rely on my own efforts to establish meritorious achievements and become a pillar of talent." ”

Guo Song walked a few steps with his hands in his hand, and asked again: "You shouldn't be illiterate!" ”

Zhou Junyu's face showed a look of shame, if he was literate, their mother and son would not have been fooled by that king.

"It doesn't matter, you can learn if you can't read, many of my generals are originally illiterate, they all learned little by little, but in any case, you must be able to read and write, otherwise you won't even be able to understand the intelligence."

"I must study hard."

Guo Song smiled slightly: "I think about it, you go to Taiyuan Military Exercise Hall to study for two years, there is a school for training middle and low-level generals, learn riding and archery and weapons during the day, and read and read at night, the chief officer of the Martial Arts Hall is my most loyal subordinate, everyone calls him Uncle Kang, nicknamed King Kangyan, no one is not afraid of him, but most of the elite army in Hexi is trained by him, and the instructors there are also concurrently served by high-level martial arts generals, where you can learn real skills, but I won't tell them, you are my nephew, you are an ordinary brigade commander." Do you understand? ”

Zhou Junyu nodded, "I will never let my uncle down!" ”

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" Guo Song asked again.

"Yes!"

"It's easy to ride a horse, there is just a group of low-level generals in Guanzhong who want to be sent to Taiyuan Yanwutang for training, there are about three hundred people, tomorrow morning, everyone is riding over, I will add your name, you will go with them."

"Nephew understood."

Guo Song immediately asked Zhao Jun to take Zhou Junyu to rest, he thought about it, or wrote a letter to Yao Jin, Yao Jin couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, if he didn't say anything, he wouldn't allow a person of unknown origin to join his team, but Guo Song also explained in the letter that let Zhou Junyu go to training like an ordinary brigade commander, except for Yao Jin, don't let anyone else know about Zhou Junyu's relationship with him.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Junyu rode a red war horse given to him by Guo Song and followed Zhao Jun to the camp in Bashang, where he began his military career.

..........

Fast forward to mid-February, spring is blooming, snow and ice are melting, and the riverbed is thawing.

The city of Chang'an West is very lively, with a lot of traffic everywhere, crowds of people, the shouting of shop guys one after another, and the smell of spices from exotic lands in the air.

Guo Song took a few entourages to personally inspect the currency situation in the West City, he originally planned to deal with the currency issue in March, but the currency contradictions became more and more prominent, a few days ago Du You told him that the market began to generally reject new money, all kinds of contradictions arose, almost every day there were people to the government to fight money lawsuits.

This afternoon, Guo Song stole some time and came to Xishi to check the situation in person.

He walked in the spice shop, more than 20 shops on both sides were selling spices, and the business was not bad, Guo Song came to one of them, the name of the shop on this signboard was very imposing, called 'Fragrance through the World'.

The guy enthusiastically introduced him: "It's right for Childe to come to my house, the new goods that have just been bought in the past few days, ambergris from Japan, frankincense from Sri country, dipterocarp from Fallen Poden, and sandalwood from Lion Country." ”

After speaking, he whispered to Guo Song: "Don't go to the house next door, their ambergris is not on the road, do you know what it is called, and it is not on the road?" That's the jargon, that's what it means to be fake. ”

Guo Song smiled and asked, "Then how do I know that your family is on the road?" ”

The guy was suddenly anxious, he took a piece of swarthy thing and handed it to Guo Song's nose, "You ask, authentic ambergris, a piece costs ten taels of silver." ”

Guo Song took a step back, avoiding the enthusiasm of the guy, he glanced at the basket again, there was more than half a basket of ambergris in the basket, at least a thousand pieces could be cut, and this basket would cost 10,000 taels of silver? I guess it's not on the road either. ”

"This.... Do you only accept cashiers? Guo Song asked with a smile.

"Old money and Jin money are fine, silver is preferred, and it can be slightly cheaper to buy things."

"New money?"

Before the guy could speak, the shopkeeper's decisive voice came from the store, "New money will not be collected!" ”

The shopkeeper walked out with a smile and arched his hand to Guo Song, "I'm sorry, the small shop has a small profit, I can't afford to lose, I can't collect new money, forgive me!" ”

"Why do you lose money when you collect new money?" Guo Song asked with a smile.

"Hey! We have to go to Guangzhou to buy goods, but Guangzhou does not charge new money, we can only go to the black market to exchange old money or silver, now it takes 1,300 new money to exchange 1,000 old money, and our gross profit is only 20%, can we not lose money? ”

"Are you all like that here?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "It's all the same, no new money is charged." ”
