Compared with Master Wei's free and easy.

Li Jingbai, Liu Yangyao, and Wang Congyi are much more restrained.

Li Linsun, Li Hesun and Li Jing followed behind Li Jingbai, and they also felt very awkward.

Wei Bao warmly greeted Li Jingbai, Liu Yangyao, and Wang Congyi to take their seats.

Li Linsun, Li Hesun and Li Jing are either much older than Wei Bao, but they have no official status, or because they are women, they can't be served.

"I will first toast the three adults with a glass of wine, and I hope that after this glass of wine, the unpleasantness of the past will not be taken to heart." Wei Bao said and drank it all.

Li Jingbai, Liu Yangyao, and Wang Congyi hurriedly thanked them and toasted.

"I would like to salute you again with this glass of wine, and I hope that you will be able to work together in harmony and maintain a happy relationship with colleagues in the future, and work together to complete the errand of the Governor of Haiphong's Yamen." Wei Bao said, introducing Wu Sanfu behind him: "Brother Sanfu, you can also sit down." Let me introduce, this is the right political counselor of the Governor of Haiphong, Lord Wu Sanfu, and also my brother, Lord Wu is the son of Lord Wu Xiang in Liaoxi, and I am both a fellow villager and a classmate, and Lord Wu's sister is the woman I am about to marry. Although we have never worshipped, it is better than a brotherhood, and if there is anything in the future, if you can't find me, Brother Sanfu can represent me with full authority. ”

Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "In the lower district of the fifth rank official, it's better to stand like this." ”

Li Jingbai hurriedly said: "Lord Wu's words are wrong, I have already heard of Lord Wu Xiang's name, you are a famous family in Liaoxi, and you and Lord Wei are so close, everyone is their own people, why bother to see outside." ”

Liu Yangao and Wang Congyi also persuaded Wu Sanfu to enter the table.

Wu Sanfu arched his hand, "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

"I heard that General Liu and Miss Li are married, right?" Wei Bao asked suddenly.

Wei Bao did not talk about this issue privately with Liu Yangyao.

In fact, Wei Bao had a conversation with Liu Yangao when he released Liu Yang'ao that day, and he didn't have much contact after that.

Weibao trusts the system, the team, and the relationship of interests.

Therefore, Wei Bao and men rarely say anything, they don't trust what they say, they only believe what they see, and see how the other party does it.

Except for playmates like Wu Sanfu.

Everyone present was stunned, and they didn't know why Wei Bao asked this.

In fact, at this time, Li Jingbai, Liu Yango, Li Linsun, Li Hesun, and Li Jing all felt extremely embarrassed, especially Li Jingbai and Li Jing.

Before, the Li family and the Liu family were quasi-in-laws, and they were about to get married, if it weren't for the fact that they were both in Shandong, they were afraid of attracting criticism, otherwise with the age of Li Jing and Liu Yangyao, they would have been able to get married the year before last year.

Now because Li Jingbai arrested Liu Yangwu and handed it over to Wei Bao, it is already an enemy relationship, how can he mention the previous marriage contract again? It's equivalent to having been torn up.

And when this matter spreads, it has a great impact on Li Jingbai's reputation, where in the world is there a father-in-law who betrays his son-in-law in order to save his life?

"Didn't Master Wei just say that he drank that glass of wine, and he didn't mention anything before? Everyone will continue to work together to do a good job in the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong. Liu Yangluo said lightly, there was no lack of resentment in his words! Obviously, he has resolutely severed the relationship with the Li family, "If Master Wei asked me Liu Yangwu to go to the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I Liu Yangwu would not frown, but my marriage with the Li family would have been over a long time ago!" I can't sleep every day, and I'm worried about someone next to me. ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, he just wanted to see the attitude of Liu Yangao and Li Jingbai, Wei Bao naturally didn't really need Li Jingbai and Liu Yangao to reconcile.

In fact, Li Jingbai, Liu Yangyao, and Wang Congyi were all set aside, did not communicate with each other, and only obeyed their own orders, which was the effect that Wei Bao needed to achieve.

Li Jingbai, Li Linsun, Li Hesun, and Li Jing's expressions were all embarrassed, and Li Jing's eyes were covered with tears, and she felt very aggrieved.

However, she is not qualified to be wronged, because after Liu Yangao was arrested by Li Jingbai, Li Jing actually did not make any efforts to rescue Liu Yangao.

An official lady like Li Jing clearly divides feelings and power, as well as family interests.

"Okay, it's me who talks too much, don't mention this, drink." Wei Bao said with a smile: "With General Liu's status and status, there are many good women in the future. Miss Li is the same, the prince will have the son of the Xiang family at her fingertips. I can't bear to see your good marriage like a match made in heaven dissolved, so I have more words. ”

"Thank you, Lord Wei, for your kindness." Li Jingbai said.

"Have the two Li Gongzi married?" Wei Bao asked with concern.

Li Jingbai shook his head, "They haven't achieved fame yet, and I don't want them to delay their progress for men and women in their twenties." ”

"Hey, Master Li, this is yours, first start a family and then start a business, it has been since ancient times." Wei Bao said, beckoning to Lin Wenbiao very warmly: "Aren't my three godsisters of marriageable age?" You look for an opportunity for General Liu and the two Li Gongzi to meet. I think they're a good fit. ”

Lin Wenbiao hurriedly clenched his fists and said yes.

Wei Bao casually wholesaled out three 'godsisters', in fact, he has already wholesaled a lot, not to mention hundreds, there are many senior female agents like the Statistics Bureau, and she is a wife to important officials, and she is cost-effective.

Liu Yangyao, Li Jingbai, Li Linsun and Li Hesun hurriedly thanked Wei Bao for his kindness.

The big media that Wei Bao personally pulled, they didn't dare to refuse in person.

Wei Bao is full of confidence, with the skills and skills of those high-ranking female agents, men have to kneel when they see it, and they don't worry about what will happen next.

I drank a meal of wine for more than an hour, although the scene was a little embarrassing, but under Wu Sanfu's threading of the needle, it finally went well, and several people were poured a lot of wine.

"President, do you really believe that these people can honestly be set up by us and be an empty shelf?" Wu Sanfu asked.

"Then don't worry about it, Liu Yang'ao must have no problem, he has already paid homage to me, and his life was saved by me, and if he is not loyal to me, he will not be able to gain a foothold in the world. As for Li Jingbai and Wang Congyi, you have to do more work to fight, the problem should not be big, Wang Congyi wants to make progress in his career, he needs help, whoever can help him, he is who's person. Li Jingbai is the same. If they can be Wei Zhongxian's people, they can be our people! It is necessary to pull into the Heaven and Earth Society Wei Department as soon as possible. Wei Bao said.

"Understood." Wu Sanfu said with a smile: "President, I am really completely convinced now, such a chaotic situation, the president has solved it all in less than a month." ”

"Brother Sanfu, didn't I say it? You don't have to call it a president, we are brothers, you are still called Xiaobao, this is the privilege I give you. Wei Bao laughed.

"Excuse me, everyone calls me that, I'm also a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, I'm called Xiaobao alone, it seems like I'm crazy, I don't want to be hated. I only now understand what is going on in the Heaven and Earth Society, how strict the rules are in the Heaven and Earth Society, and how high your status is! Since I have joined the Heaven and Earth Society, and as a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, I must do my duty. Wu Sanfu said solemnly.

Wei Bao smiled slightly, "You don't have to be too nervous, you like to have fun, as long as it's not too out of line, it's fine." ”

"Speaking of women, that Miss Li is good looking just now, and I see that her eyes have been drifting around you, and I can see at a glance that the woman is interested in you." Wu Sanfu smiled lewdly.

"Hehe, that's the daughter of the governor's family, and the Lang Jun I was looking for before is at the level of the chief soldier! Don't say that I'm a fourth-grade official, that kind of person will feel that the door is not right even if he is looking for a third-grade official! What's more, I have so many women now, what do I want so many women to do? Wei Bao laughed.

"It's different, we just took the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong, and took a large area like Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, and aren't you going to Liaodong soon? If you don't hurry up and hold Li Jingbai in your hand now, how long will you wait? And I really can't think of a better and faster way than you marrying Li Jingbai's daughter. Wu Sanfu said this kind of thing, full of energy: "Your President is not just a fourth-grade official, you hold the Yamen of the Governor of Haiphong, aren't you exercising the power of the second-rank official?" And it's much more powerful than the general two products! In the world, even those various books, where do you have such great real power? Not to mention that you can get the favor of His Majesty, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner, where can you look at it with Zhengerpin? Otherwise, the British prince would not have promised his daughter to the president, right? Give your president a concubine, and you will definitely not lose to being a wife to a second-class official! ”

"You're exalting my status too much." Wei Bao smiled: "Brother Sanfu, the confrontation in the power field depends on strength!" According to you, I have to marry a woman everywhere I go? Li Jingbai's daughter is quite passable, if it is a sow, do I have to marry it? ”

"If it's a sow, it's naturally not needed," Wu Sanfu shook his head and said, "Isn't this Miss Li not bad?" ”

"Then if you have the ability, you can take it, I think it's also very good for her to give you Sanfu as a concubine!" Wei Bao smiled: "Also, don't forget, Li Jingbai's daughter used to be Liu Yangbai's fiancée, although now Liu Yangao has a bad relationship with the Li family and is unwilling to want Li Jingbai's daughter anymore." First, this is the woman Liu Yang'ao doesn't want, even if you don't consider this layer, and second, if you want Liu Yang'o's former fiancée, do you think Liu Yang'ao will not be angry? Can I make Liu Yangwu uncomfortable in order to win over Li Jingbai? ”

"That's right." Wu Sanfu praised: "In the end, it is a person who does great things, sees far and thinks deeply." The idea is steady. ”

"Okay, okay, let's say less nice words, I once explicitly ordered the people around me not to be afraid of sycophants, otherwise, I can hear from morning to night, except for affecting my judgment of things, there is no benefit." Wei Bao laughed.

"Oh, I'll pay attention, president, you tell the truth, don't you really want that Li Jing?" Wu Sanfu still didn't give up, and wanted to continue this topic: "What if I had a way to make the Li family willing and not make Liu Yangwu unhappy?" ”

"Brother Sanfu, okay, think more about how you should do a good job of the Governor of Haiphong's Yamen!" Wei Bao smiled: "Didn't I say that? If you really like it, help yourself to make more pictures. ’

"I don't have that blessing, I like it." Wu Sanfu grinned.

With Wei Bao leveling the officialdom of Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province and Denglai Prefecture, as well as landlords in various places, the tax reform was very smooth, and there were not many obstacles to the purchase of grain.

As long as there is enough silver, there is no problem in buying high-priced grain from Anhui and Jiangsu, which are under the jurisdiction of the southern government.

However, grain and cloth, which are such a large consuming resource, are not a long-term solution if they are all bought from other places at high prices.

According to Wei Bao's estimates, the two provinces of Weijiazhuang and North Korea are now self-sufficient, while Liaonan is a newly developed area that will not be self-sufficient until at least next fall, and it will need to continue to invest.

And Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, which have recently been included in their sphere of influence, if they cannot provide material supplies and wealth supply for Weijiazhuang and southern Liaoning, but instead want to bleed to support these places, it is not okay.

It's a big hole, a bottomless pit.

Controlling the Yellow River is a big project, and just to control this section of Shandong, it will cost at least hundreds of millions of silver and spend three or five years of effort!

Maintaining local stability is a major project, and there are too many unpredictable changes in officialdom.

can let three or four million people ignore food and clothing for a while, and let the people live in hunger and cold, Wei Bao can't do it.

Wei Bao is really ambivalent about how to treat Shandong.

But Wei Bao has a principle, even if he does not draw blood from Hejian Mansion, Cangzhou Mansion, Shandong and Denglai, he will definitely not supply blood to these places, and can only make the wealth obtained from the local area and return it to the local area for infrastructure construction!

Ensuring that no one starves to death in these places under their own hands is worthy of the locals.

And Wei Bao knew very well that once Hejian Province, Cangzhou Province, Shandong Province and Denglai Province could not starve to death, there would be a large influx of disaster victims from the surrounding areas.

Therefore, Wei Bao also asked people to step up the inventory of acres and acres, and at the same time, do a good job in the recompilation of household registration.

Under the rule of Wei Bao and Tiandihui, there would certainly not be a large outflow of people from Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province and Denglai Prefecture, and the purpose of compiling household registration was to prevent outsiders from pouring into this area.

This can't help but make a folk ballad: "The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, I am afraid that Lord Wei will be transferred." Thousands of shouldn't, thousands of shouldn't, shouldn't have come to Shandong earlier. ”

"The sky is not afraid, the earth is not afraid, I am afraid that Master Wei will be transferred. Thousands of shouldn't, thousands of shouldn't, shouldn't have come to Shandong earlier. After Wei Zhongxian heard this ballad, he sneered.

"From this point of view, Wei Bao is really capable, you underestimate him, and said that Wei Bao will be squeezed away by Shandong officialdom, and now not only Wei Bao has not been squeezed out, but everyone below has been domesticated by Wei Bao obediently." Kebaba Road.

"Then let Wei Bao go to Liaodong as soon as possible, as long as Wei Bao is transferred, it won't be long before the Yamen, the governor of Haiphong, will fall apart." Wei Zhongxian said.

"Not necessarily, right? Wei Bao does have a hand in managing people, you see Wei Bao left the capital, aren't the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple still operating according to Wei Bao's set? And the people are all people promoted by Wei Bao, and now the heads of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple can't get the power back. Kebaba said.

"This kid does have some ability." Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "However, the little monkey cub was promoted by our family, as long as our family abolishes Wei Bao, no matter how strong his shelf is, he will have to be scattered." ”

"Hey, didn't you say that your subordinates lack a capable person like Wei Bao, just guard against it, why are you killing again? I think Wei Bao is still very loyal to you. Kebaba couldn't help but speak for Wei Bao.

Ke Baba has a good impression of Wei Bao in his heart, but Ke Baba knows Wei Zhongxian's personality very well, and if he says more good things about Wei Bao in Wei Zhongxian, not only can he not help Wei Bao anything, but it may even make Wei Zhongxian jealous and angry, which is not good for Wei Bao.

So every time Kebaba talked to Wei Zhongxian about Wei Bao, he was cautious.

It's hard to grasp the proportions.

"I didn't say I wanted to kill Wei Bao, I meant that when I couldn't prevent it, I could only kill it! I hope this kid won't have the idea of being an enemy of our family because he is too powerful. This trip to Liaodong by Wei Bao is just a touchstone! As long as Wei Bao can successfully remove Sun Chengzong, cut 50,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong and Jiliao, and withstand the attack of Jiannu after disarmament, our family can really trust him. Wei Zhongxian said.

"The removal of the border armies of Jiliao and Liaodong is not easy to move, it is more difficult than moving the soldiers and horses in Shandong, and these border armies have not been restrained by the imperial court for a long time. Moreover, if you really lay off 50,000 people, you can't beat Jiannu in the first place, isn't it even more invincible? Kebaba asked, puzzled.

"Then we can't take care of it, that's his Wei Bao's business, isn't Wei Bao capable? Those who have the ability will naturally do great things! Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "If Jiliao and Liaodong only keep 100,000 soldiers and horses, and can eliminate the hidden danger of building slaves, the life of the court and our family will be much better in the future." ”

"It's been a lot better this year! Wei Bao collected the taxes due from the Yamen, the governor of Haiphong, in advance, and also paid back all the taxes in arrears in previous years, such a large sum of silver, isn't it okay? Kebaba said.

"But Wei Bao didn't send silver to His Majesty's internal treasury like he did when he was in the capital, and he didn't send extra silver to our family! He also sent letters to the Lord and our family respectively, saying that he wanted to control the Yellow River on the border of Shandong, to provide disaster relief, to ensure that the victims had cloth and food for the winter, and to make himself like the old man of the blue sky! Hmph, he Wei Bao is buying the hearts of the people, and our family sees that his Wei Bao's appetite is getting bigger and bigger! Wei Zhongxian said unhappily.

Kebaba couldn't help but say, "Won't I send you less silver?" Could it be that Wei Bao doesn't care about so many victims? According to me, if the entire magistrates of Daming can pay the taxes and taxes accumulated over the years in advance like Wei Bao, and can ensure the food and clothing of the victims in winter, Daming will really want the country and the people to be safe. ”
