Kou Xiangwenzhi was complacent, because he boasted that he had made a contribution, and he was arguing with Wang Wenyuan everywhere in the county government,-for-tat, thinking of increasing the authority in his hands and suppressing Wang Wenyuan's prestige.

And Wang Wenyuan, who is as cunning as a fox, does not confront him head-on at all, on the surface Wang Wenyuan is showing weakness, but secretly Wang Wenyuan is preparing to pick Kou Xiangwen's peaches in advance.

The official level crushed people to death, Kou Xiangwen was in the limelight, Wang Wenyuan is the real county lord, Shatian County's taxes are excessive, and the general is rewarded, can you not reward Wang Wenyuan first?

Wang Wenyuan now asked Chen Xiaojing to arrange for the suppression of merchants in the county, which is to make the scene sufficient, the imperial court has a "border ban", and trade is strictly prohibited in the border areas, because once the Turks and Northern Yan people get the salt, grain, tea, silk, and porcelain of Dakang, they will become more and more powerful.

And especially iron, gunpowder, if it flows into the Northern Yan and the Turks, it will soon become sabers and cannons, and these weapons will harvest the lives of the people of the Dakang Dynasty.

In fact, this decree has hardly been strictly implemented since its birth, especially in recent years, the imperial court has become more and more vocal about the Longyou power lord, and this decree is even more useless.

For the Longyou power lords, they need horses, money and grain to strengthen their strength, and the land in Longyou is barren, and the output in the land of the people is simply not enough, so opening up the border trade routes is an inevitable means for the Longyou power lords to accumulate wealth.

As for the negative effects brought about by trade, it is also undesirable for the Longyou power lord at the moment, the Turks are strong enough, the Long right power can raise more soldiers, and the border war continues, and the imperial court will consider the serious consequences that may be caused by the Longyou power lord.

For the generals and princes of Longyou, the enemy in the north must be strangled and stocked, when they need to be killed, they can win the battle by sending troops, and when they need to be raised, the northerners will be on the side, and they also need to be able to send at least three or five copies of 800 li to the imperial court.

Political things are so ruthless, there is no thought of good and evil, no thought of humanity, mercy is not in charge of the army, the battle between the wealthy and the imperial court, under the surface of meekness and peace, there is a bloody storm and rain, and the danger in it can only be experienced by those who are in it.

Of course, Longyou is so big, there are inevitably differences between regions and regions, besides, Longyou is the Longyou of the imperial court after all, even if the powerful lords have an advantage, officials at all levels still need to be appointed by the imperial court.

encountered those loyal and patriotic officials, their elm heads, that is, to strictly control the "ban on the border", even if they are powerful and wealthy, it is not easy to come forward to openly accuse this matter, so the situation of Longyou trade is very complicated, each is different.

Wang Wenyuan of Shatian County has always been cunning as a fox, and he can see the businessman's things clearly, neither encouraging nor suppressing, and this is a card for him at a critical time.

Isn't Kou Xiangwen fighting with him now? He just played this card, he picked the peach first, this card was played out, so that everyone in Shatian County knew that Kou Xiangwen received the silver from the Jiangnan merchants, Kou Xiangwen had to report the tax and silver in advance, that time, Wang Wenyuan reached out to pick the peach.

In addition, the businessmen in Jiangnan who went to Shatian County to do this kind of business were bound to be jealous, and the alliance of interests between Lu Zheng and Kou Xiangwen might come to an end because of Gu Zhilun's money.

Kou Xiangwenkong was overjoyed, making wedding clothes for Wang Wenyuan, Lu Zheng spent silver, the bamboo basket was empty, Wang Wenyuan got benefits, out of the limelight, the spring breeze was proud, and even once there was a shortage above, he could still be promoted to a higher level, this kind of thing is the most comfortable and comfortable result for Wang Wenyuan.

It's just that the plan is in the people, and the success is in the sky, Chen Xiaojing praised and complimented Wang Wenyuan all the way, and after arriving at the county office, he immediately called Wang Wenyuan's two henchmen over and asked them to do errands according to Wang Wenyuan's requirements, and their actions can be said to be vigorous and resolute.

However, he turned around and walked out of the county office, turned around half a street, entered Lu Zheng's mansion through the back door of the county school, and handed over to Lu Zheng what Wang Wenyuan had planned in Liangzhou, and did not dare to keep half of it.

Lu Zheng's living room, although simple, but Chen Xiaojing sat here but felt very luxurious, everything in the room seemed to be very exquisite, even the Sancai cup for making tea was Jingdezhen's top white porcelain, such white porcelain is only available in Jiangnan.

Lu Zheng didn't say anything, just raised his hand, and a careless entourage brought a plate, the plate was covered with red silk, and the plate was placed in front of Chen Xiaojing, Chen Xiaojing mustered up the courage to lift the red silk, subconsciously, he felt that his throat was tight, and his breathing became difficult, and then he couldn't help jumping up with a heart of "poof" and "poof".

Look at this plate, the plate is full of silver, ingots of snowflake silver, and there are official marks left underneath, which are obviously just taken out of the silver number.

Twenty taels of silver, a total of ten ingots, which is a huge sum of two hundred taels of silver!

Chen Xiaojing is Wang Wenyuan's master, he counts all his income in a year, which is about twenty taels of silver, and now Lu Zheng puts the wealth on the plate in front of him, which he needs ten years of struggle to obtain.

"Lord Lu, this ......"

Lu Zheng smiled and said: "Master Chen, I won't tell you, I have made a little fortune with my Lord Kou recently, the so-called seeers have a share, Master Chen, this bit of silver is my meaning, you can accept it!" ”

"In these years, a penny is difficult to beat a hero, Master Chen is an elegant person, how can he have less silver on hand? Haha......" Lu Zheng laughed and motioned for someone to wrap the silver for Chen Xiaojing.

Chen Xiaojing's heart is no longer able to keep his composure, the reason why he came to Lu Zheng today is because Lu Zheng has his handle in his hand, he doesn't dare not come, in fact, he is very unhappy in his heart!

But now, Lu Zheng has made such a generous move, and his little news has been rewarded so richly, which is really beyond his expectations.

Look at Lu Zheng's handwriting, and then look at Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen, the two of them can only be regarded as countrymen, the children of the power lords are the children of the power lords, their bearing is extraordinary, and their actions are extraordinary, look at Lu Zheng's age, he is only more than ten years old, and his future is definitely not comparable to Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen.

"Master Chen, I, Lu Zheng, am a person who likes to make friends, and when others treat me with their hearts, I treat others sincerely. Recently, a lot of things have happened in our Shatian County, and I admire both Kou and Wang, both of whom are my colleagues, and they have disputes, and I am not easy to get involved.

But there is one thing, I really hope that Lord Wang can take advantage of the east wind and be promoted to another level as soon as possible, and I also hope that Lord Kou can no longer live under others and be able to take charge alone, Master Chen, this is my true words! Lu Zheng said slowly, his tone was very casual, and it made him feel very comfortable listening to Chen Xiaojing's ears.

Chen Xiaojing said: "Lord Lu is extraordinary, and I, Chen Xiaojing, am convinced by you." This time, Lord County is actually not targeting you, but Shatian County is such a big county, and it is not easy for Lord County to manage such a big mess, Lord Kou is too pressing, and County Zun can't bear it! ”

Lu Zheng laughed and said, "Okay, Master Chen, the immortals are fighting, let's not get involved." Right now, my errand is to run a good county school, and today I have to supervise the work again! ”

Lu Zheng stood up, and the two pretty maids came up one on the left and one on the right to wait for Lu Zheng to change his clothes, Chen Xiaojing couldn't hold back and hurriedly said goodbye.

He didn't go back immediately after he came out of Lu Zheng's house, and he got a big bag of silver, and he was so excited that it was difficult to calm down.

Looking at Lu Zheng's handwriting, Chen Xiaojing had an impulse, that is, to resign from Master Wang Wenyuan's errand and follow Lu Zheng from now on.

And what made him even more admired was that Wang Wenyuan ordered the whole county to check the business number, but Lu Zheng didn't care about it, obviously, Wang Wenyuan's idea of using this matter to stimulate Lu Zheng was unrealistic.

The so-called Jiangnan businessmen, I don't know how many Lu Zheng has acquainted, and all of those businessmen have a close relationship with Lu Zheng? I'm afraid not!

Lu Zheng is a dignified scholar, a great talent that even the emperor admires, will such a talented man lower his value because of a few businessmen?

Chen Xiaojing deposited the silver to the silver number, dragging the silver ticket of two hundred taels in his hand, his heart felt heavy, from the silver number back to the county office, he saw that the construction site of the new county school was in full swing, Lu Zheng had arrived at the scene in official uniform, surrounded by everyone, Lu Zheng personally arranged the arrangement, and the construction period of the county school seemed to be ahead of schedule.

On the construction site, Chen Xiaojing also saw Ren Jiagen, the shopkeeper of Wanhelou, who looked honest and honest, but was actually extremely active and mellow, and was saying something to Lu Zheng with a sneer.

Chen Xiaojing's heart suddenly moved, so he didn't avoid suspicion, walked out of the hiding place, and walked straight to Lu Zheng's side to meet him, and he heard Ren Jiagen say:

"Lord Lu, that kid in my family is so stubborn, can he really go to the county school?"

Lu Zheng said: "I said yes!" Our county school is very large-scale and needs a large number of students. After the talents of our Shatin County moved in, the lintel of the county school was different from the past.

Boss Ren has a heart, send the children at home, the county school guarantees to cultivate hard, and the boss can generously give the restraints, these silver we will also set up a monument outside the county school, and the people who have contributed to the construction of the county school in Shatin County, no matter who it is, the people of Shatin County will always remember their hard work! ”

As soon as Ren Jiagen heard Lu Zheng say this, he took a step back, took out something from his arms, and said: "Lord Lu, although Ren is a businessman, he also knows the way of sages, my lord, this is a little bit of our Wanhelou's heart, please accept it!" ”

Lu Zheng raised his hand, and immediately a servant from the county government came over and accepted the silver in Ren Jiagen's hand, and accepted the silver, and the official sang loudly: "Wanhelou Ren Jiagen, the boss of Ren Jiagen, donated 1,000 taels of silver!" ”

Chen Xiaojing was originally smiling, thinking about coming over to talk, as soon as he heard this call, he trembled, and the whole person stood on the spot, not to mention how wonderful his expression was......
