Volume 2 The Storm of Beijing (II) Chapter 27 The Minister of the Imperial Mission (II)

"Brother Xian, my brother thinks that this matter is not very simple, you must be careful."

Wu Jingmo listened to the secret decree, his brows furrowed, and he muttered for a moment, and then he told Lu Chengfeng Dao in a serious voice.

"Alas, you didn't tell me to make a noise, and let me go to the Cao Gang Inspector on the same day, what kind of holy decree do you say this is? How can I go to work if I don't know what to do? Besides, what kind of official position is this Cao Gang Inspector, I really haven't heard of it! ”

Lu Chengfeng complained, and finally saw a knowledgeable Wu Jingmo, and then he poured bitter water.

"Brother Xian, it's not just you, I've been in Jinghua City for so many years, and I've never heard that the imperial court has a position of Cao Gang Inspector. I think it's probably for you this time! ”

Wu Jingmo touched the green stubble on his chin, thought for a few seconds, and then analyzed:

"Maybe Your Majesty is still not very satisfied with the outcome of the Jiang family's extermination case, but it is not good to track it down with great fanfare, so I sent you to lurk in the Cao Gang and investigate and secretly visit."

"Well, the hero sees the same thing! But how do I serve as the inspector of this Cao Gang, it really makes me a head bigger than two! Big brother, do you have any good ideas, and give me a trick too? ”

Lu Chengfeng frowned.

"Brother Xian, I'm afraid there is a deeper reason for this. What do you think, the emperor is seriously ill, the prince lives in seclusion, and in the end, it is King Kang who is in charge of the country! Even the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is in the hands of your father! All of the above is unheard of and unseen! ”

Wu Jingmo sighed, looking preoccupied.

"What does the eldest brother mean that the crown prince has been punished and King Xuan has also lost power? I'm afraid that the whole court has already guessed a few sacred hearts. It's just, what does this have to do with me going to the Cao Gang to be an inspector? ”

Lu Chengfeng seemed to have been suddenly pushed away by half of the clouds, but the truth was still half-concealed, which made him the second monk puzzled.

Smart and clever may be out of nature, but for the turbulent undercurrents under the calm sea of officialdom, he is a little sluggish, and he has never come to enlightenment.

Wu Jingmo also knows Lu Chengfeng's youthful nature, pure as paper, he doesn't want him to get involved too deeply, and wants to appropriately allocate him for self-protection.

After thinking about it for a long time, I had to sigh deeply, directly pierce the truth, and said:

"I heard that there were rumors in the court and China before, and the emperor moved Yi Chu's heart. It must have been the dispute between the two parties involved in the Jiang family's extermination case, which made the emperor suspicious of the crown prince and King Xuan, and was disappointed. Even if it is not easy to save, I am afraid that the status of the prince is no longer as stable as Mount Tai! ”

"Uh-huh, but what does that have to do with me? I still don't get it. ”

Lu Chengfeng nodded when he heard this, but he was still like a deer that just wanted to jump around freely outside the hunter's circle.

"It can be said that it is the Jiang family's extermination case, or it can be said that you are the fuse of all the causes and consequences, and it is also the key to my next transition towards the general trend. Your Majesty, you have high hopes for you! Virtuous brother! ”

Wu Jingmo explained, and pressed his broad hands heavily on Lu Chengfeng's shoulders.

That force is just normal, but for Lu Chengfeng at this moment, it is like a thousand pounds, and the pressure of Lu Chengfeng is out of breath.

"Me? Big brother, don't say that, I can't afford to say that I am a key person at once. Besides, isn't the Jiang family's murder case still investigated by the two of us together? ”

As soon as Lu Chengfeng said this, he was worried that Wu Jingmo suspected that he wanted to shirk his responsibility, so he hurriedly made up and said:

"The eldest brother is the real pillar of the country, and the talent of the world is in mind! If you want to entrust a heavy responsibility, you should also entrust the eldest brother with a heavy responsibility! I am a layman who just wants to make more gold and silver! ”

Wu Jingmo only looked at his innocent and clear eyes silently, knowing that every word Lu Chengfeng said was heartfelt.

Brother Chengfeng Xian just happened to run into the Jiang family's extermination case, and with righteous indignation, he took care of himself with all the heart, so he helped Jingzhao Mansion track it down all the way.

It was true that he had never intended to stir up the situation. It's a pity that he rode the wind as a royal family member and died as a royal ghost, and in this life he is inseparable from all kinds of royal tricks.

And himself, of course, can only do his best to assist his virtuous ministers and try his best to support them.

The great responsibility of the world still has to be borne by his Lu family.

"Come on! Originally, I wanted to set up a bank in Dajing with my skills or something, but it seems that my plan is going to be ruined! ”

Lu Chengfeng spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and sighed helplessly.

"Banks? But where are the coins stored? Do you still have such ambitions? Big brother has never heard you mention it. ”

Wu Jingmo was full of emotion, but in an instant, he was aroused by Lu Chengfeng's fresh idea.

"The bank is the silver number! When you say where you store money, it can not only store it, but also make money profitable! As far as my observation is concerned, it seems that there is no such thing in this Yasukuni yet! So that's where my business opportunity comes in! Hahaha! ”

As soon as Lu Chengfeng mentioned the method of making money, all his spirit was raised in an instant, as if he had suddenly been beaten with chicken blood, and his eyes burst out with essence.

"Money makes money? Is this true? ”’

Wu Jingmo asked puzzled.

"Of course! For example, if a rich man has too much gold and silver to spend, he can deposit it in my bank, and when he needs to use it, I will return it to him, and I will pay him interest. This interest is the money that comes out of the money. ”

"I see, but where does your interest come from? Could it be that Brother Fei Xian wants to use the principal of this family to pay the interest of that family? ”

Wu Jingmo asked with a wink.

"Clever! As long as I still have the principal in my bank, I will naturally have the money to pay the interest. A profitable deal! Money makes money, money regenerates money, and the interest cycle is endless! In addition, I can re-lend the money I have saved to make money. ”

Lu Chengfeng smiled mysteriously.

"But what do you mean by credit?"

Wu Jingmo asked again with interest.

"Pretty much. For example, Zhang San wants to open a shop, but his own money is not enough to open a shop, so he can find a bank to borrow. Signing and drawing as an agreement, he only needs to repay the corresponding interest according to the agreement every month, and then replace the capital at the agreed deadline is ......"

Lu Chengfeng talked about his old business, and his head was Tao, and Wu Jingmo, who listened to it, was stunned for a moment.

"Sounds like a good deal! Virtuous brother! I now know that you really went to the Cao Gang! ”

Wu Jingmo patted Lu Chengfeng's shoulder and sighed.

"Why? Don't hide it from my eldest brother, I really don't want to be an inspector of this Cao Gang at all! ”

As soon as he mentioned this stubble, Lu Chengfeng sighed again.

"Brother Xian forgot, the Cao Gang is responsible for transporting salt and grain for the imperial court, and has already hoarded a huge amount of real money and silver in his hands! Not to mention that they also operate a black market trade privately! ”

Wu Jingmo said with a word.

That's true! It's just that I, as a member of the Lu royal family, do I still want to use the Cao Gang and the black market to make money? Let's not talk about the palace, even the silver of my crown king Xifu also has! Is there still a shortage of the capital to open a bank for me? ”

Lu Chengfeng still disdainfully said to the Cao Gang.

"No, no! Brother Xian, think about it, but all the snowflakes and silver that come out of the treasury of the central government, whether it is allocated to your Xifu or any other expenses, are strictly controlled and recorded in the pen. What's more, the border has been in turmoil for many years, and the military expenditure is huge! If you want the emperor and the prince to support you to open a bank, I think it's difficult! ”

Wu Jingmo patiently explained, and seeing that Lu Chengfeng's expression had slowly changed from disdain to serious listening, he continued to analyze:

"Besides, Li Fengnian, the head of the household department who is in charge of the silver, is not a master who is easy to fool! It is rumored in the DPRK that this person is like a cunning fox with a black iron, and he must be very careful in calculating baht! It is better to take this opportunity to break into the Cao Gang and open a bank more smoothly. ”

"What a great idea! Eldest brother! Little brother really loves you to death! ”

Lu Chengfeng happily jumped on Wu Jingmo's back, hugged his neck, and praised him violently!

Wu Jingmo's body had goosebumps when he heard this, but he couldn't support it immediately, and he fell on all fours with Lu Chengfeng and his feet to the sky.

His demeanor as a gentleman in his daily life, as well as his modest and polite but refusal to keep people out of his heart, were all invisible in front of Lu Chengfeng.

Wu Jingmo patted the dust on his clothes, sat up, and looked at the lively appearance of Lu Chengfeng, a child, and really couldn't cry or laugh.

Lu Chengfeng picked up Wu Jingmo, and happily set off to go to the Cao Gang.

Wu Jingmo saw that he looked like a majestic and high-spirited Top Gun, and couldn't help but laugh but reminded carefully:

"Brother Xian, be careful, the Cao Gang and we have formed a relationship, and you are serving a secret order this time, don't make a noise, you must be cautious in everything! Also, don't get involved in the party struggle between the prince and King Xuan, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

"Got it! The younger brother obeys the instructions of the eldest brother! Big brother rest assured! ”

Lu Chengfeng clenched his hands into fists and paced out of the door with a big grin.

"Also, if you go to the Cao Gang this time, you will definitely have another intersection with Tang Byrne and others, don't provoke Tang Byrne again!"

Wu Jingmo shouted at Lu Chengfeng's back like a worried old mother.

"Okay!" Lu Chengfeng made an OK gesture to him from afar, and the figure disappeared.
