Mu Donghou naturally didn't know that the eldest brother of his eldest son Lin Yuan's twelfth concubine was imprisoned by the silver-clothed guard, but even if he knew, he would not offend the silver-clothed guard for such an ant.

As a Lingnan native, Mudong Hou Lin Feng is very shrewd, he knows Zhang Xiaowu's status and role in front of Emperor Dade, and he also knows that he knows his business in Longdu, and he must rely on the help of Yinyi Wei in the future, so he is ready to set up a banquet in the best restaurant in Longdu to entertain Zhang Xiaowu.

It's just that Zhang Xiaowu has been busy, and Shenlong can't see the end of the head, not to mention Mu Donghou's invitation, it is difficult for Wang Jingzhi, the commander of the Golden Guard, to catch him.

Mu Donghou's eyes turned and he thought of a method that Zhang Xiaowu could not refuse, he first inquired about the large amount of grain that Yinyiwei had bought, then inquired about the price and the total price, and then inquired about the silver allocated to Yinyiwei by the imperial court, and after calculating, he found that Yinyiwei not only spent all the silver given to him by the emperor before and after, but also paid a lot of silver himself.

"The silver-clothed guard has silver." Mu Donghou talked about this matter with his brother-in-law, "Zhang Xiaowu is not a greedy and lustful person, this person only lived in the official office when he was in Mucheng, and he only had one concubine. I have never inquired about his own embezzlement, and that he has no money for himself. is not greedy for money, not lustful, not playful, and looks flawless, but he pities his subordinates. The money he used when he was in Saibei was spent to fund the marriage of his soldiers. Therefore, it is better to give Zhang Xiaowu gifts and silver, than to give gold to the Yinyi Wei Yamen, which is not only fair and fair, but also solves his troubles. ”

Mu Donghou sent someone to find Ruan Qingwen, the left deputy commander of the Yinyi Guard, and told him that he would donate 100,000 silver to the Yinyi Wei to solve the urgent need of the Yinyi Guard's yamen, and invited Zhang Xiaowu to come to the Mudong Hou Mansion as a guest. Ruan Qingwen was surprised, 100,000 taels of silver was indeed a great help, the household department only allocated 30,000 taels of silver to Yinyiwei, and Mu Donghou made a move of 100,000 taels of silver, this kind of high-roller behavior is not something that ordinary people can do.

Ruan Qingwen immediately found Zhang Xiaowu and conveyed Mu Donghou's invitation and donation, Zhang Xiaowu looked at the invitation, and said in his heart that Mu Donghou was too bold, how could he give such a large sum of gold and silver to Yinyiwei.

"Recently, why does Mu Donghou need my silver-clothed guard?" Zhang Xiaowu wondered.

Ruan Qingwen smiled and said: "No, this Mu Donghou doesn't need our help, when cleaning up the household, Mu Donghou's people also occupied a few places, but they have a lot of money, even if they return it." Moreover, these houses were handled by them clean and comfortable, and the handover between our men and them was very smooth. Even a few chiefs quarreled with each other in order to compete for those few households. ”

Zhang Xiaowu touched his chin and was so surprised, Ruan Qingwen immediately took out more than 150 invitations, and said: "General, please take a look, there are as many people as you invite to the banquet as a carp crossing the river." If you want you to nod, tomorrow there will be more than a hundred beautiful women sitting at the head of your bed, and as long as you want, tomorrow you will have 100,000 taels of silver in your house. ”

"I don't need silver." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile, "But the silver-clothed guard wants it, and Mu Donghou knows what I mean." ”

Ruan Qingwen said: "It's too easy for the silver-clothed guards to get the silver, I'm worried that if they use this trick against our guards in the future......"

"You don't have to worry, that's for sure, they'll definitely do this to our silverguards." Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile, "After so many years of revolution, shouldn't you enjoy it?" ”

Ruan Thanh Van had a question mark on his face, revolution? Enjoy?

Zhang Xiaowu laughed: "I mean, since we have come to a prosperous place like Longdu, we should understand that we are already lying on the golden mountain." Do you think that people lying on the mountain of gold can not be interested in gold? Can you always be honest and upright? The world is made up of people, and people are selfish, so the world is also selfish. What is selfishness is self-enjoyment, enjoying money, enjoying beauty, enjoying power, enjoying freedom. We have more than 7,000 brothers, and we can enjoy it, but we have to set a standard for them, and you ask Wen Ruyu to formulate an assessment standard. My requirements are: big greed can be killed if you don't do things, big corruption can be punished if you don't do things, small greed can be chased if you don't do things, small greed can be promoted if you don't do big things, you can stay if you don't do things if you are not greedy, you can do big things if you don't be greedy, and reuse them. ”

Ruan Qingwen wrote it down word by word, and gradually had a vague plan for the assessment criteria in his heart.

For Mu Donghou's invitation, Zhang Xiaowu gladly accepted it and went to the appointment.

The Mudong Marquis Mansion was originally known as the Lin Mansion, but since the imperial throne, Lin Feng has rightly decorated the mansion with the gift of the Marquis, and there was originally only one dismounted stone at the door, but now it has become four stone lions, and there were originally only two family members standing guard, and now it has become six family generals.

As soon as Zhang Xiaowu arrived at the door of the Mudong Marquis's Mansion, he was shocked by the tall plaque at the door, he frowned, and there was something strange in his heart, because the plaque of the Marquis of the Hou Mansion had some unspoken rules, the Marquis could not surpass the earl or the prince, and obviously the title of the Marquis of Mudong should not match the Marquis of Mudong.

Today, Zhang Xiaowu came to the Mudong Hou Mansion with the right deputy commander Wu Song, Zhang Xiaowu hopes that through this banquet, Wu Song will be familiar to everyone and open up his fame and connections. Wu Song looked at the huge plaque with a surprised expression, and couldn't help asking, "General, you also found something wrong, right?" ”

Zhang Xiaowu pouted and said, "It's too arrogant." ”

Wu Song said: "Mu Donghou should be low-key. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said: "Maybe it's too much money, people outside say that he has half the world's assets, and hatred of the rich has been a common feature of people since ancient times." ”

Wu Song said: "Will the general worry about himself? ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "I am different from him, his assets are fixed, and my assets are not fixed." ”

Mu Donghou personally went out to greet him, and invited many important people in Beijing to accompany them, these people are not eunuchs, but the rich businessmen of Longdu City, everyone came this time to explore the bottom of Zhang Xiaowu, through the exchange to understand his personality, and get along with him in the future.

But everyone has not seen Zhang Xiaowu himself, but they have only heard his name in the story, and now that they have seen him for the first time, everyone's curiosity is obviously stronger, and Zhang Xiaowu has stolen the limelight of the master for a while.

Mu Donghou invited the singer of the Qinglou Cuiyan Pavilion, who is known as the best in Beijing, to sing and dance for everyone, Zhang Xiaowu suddenly found an acquaintance when he saw it, and laughed, it turned out that the best singer in Jingshi was none other than the twelve golden hairpins of Cuiyan Pavilion under the two wolves Guan Murong Thirteen two years ago.

"I said why is this Cuiyan Pavilion so familiar, it turned out to be a branch of the Murong family, no, even the twelve golden hairpins have moved to Longdu, which means that Murong Thirteen has given up competing with his brothers for the title of Marquis of Yingchuan in the Two Wolf Pass." Zhang Xiaowu thought to himself, smiling and watching the singing and dancing performances of the twelve familiar and somewhat unfamiliar Chunqier.
