Early the next morning, Zhang Meng came to Cao's Mansion to invite Cao Wei to go to the Thousand Households, obviously he was not very at ease with Lord Cao, and Lord Cao did a lot of things to release pigeons when he did a hundred households......

Cao Wei looked at Zhang Meng like a dogskin plaster, and knew that he couldn't hide, so he hastily ate breakfast and went to Qianhusuo with him.

Qianhusu is still the same as when Ren Hao was there, a simple house, the red paint on the door is peeling off in pieces, and the plaques hanging on the door are a little crooked, looking like a dilapidated house. It is an unwritten rule that officials do not repair their offices, and they do not repair their shops in guest houses, and except for a few people who use the palace of the previous dynasty to rebuild, there is no possibility of building luxury office buildings.

Cao Wei looked at the Qianhu Office in front of him, and refused in his heart, in fact, when he was Ren Hao's subordinate, Ren Hao poured a lot of wine here, and even now Cao Wei was a little dizzy when he saw the Qianhu Office.

In the thousand households, the attitude of the hundred households is very respectful, and there are even some stammers, after all, Zhang Meng is a living example, when Cao Qianhu was only a hundred households, Zhang Meng was just a general banner under him, and now Cao Wei has done a thousand households and does not forget the old feelings, and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Meng was promoted to take his place, I heard that Zhang Meng's credit for killing the thief was given by Cao Qianhu casually, which made all the hundreds of households red.

Everyone knows that this young man who is no more than ten years old will never be as simple as just a thousand households in the future, and now he will stutter first, and if Cao Qianhu is promoted again in the future, as his subordinates, he will naturally have the opportunity to rise one level.

In the Ming Dynasty, most of the Jinyi guards were hereditary, and without a good father, it was very difficult to be promoted, unless there was great merit or was promoted by the officials. It took more than a month for Cao Wei to rise from 100 households to 1,000 households, but there was nothing unconvinced by the hundreds of households, because Cao Wei was a real merit, not a child of a family who relied on his father, killing a holy daughter and a incense master of the White Lotus Sect, such a splashing merit, it is not surprising that he was even promoted to the third level.

What's more, this Cao Qianhu is still an uncle, which makes hundreds of households lucky. The most difficult errand in Nanjing City is not those civil officials who like to chew words, but the arrogant sons of nobles, who can also be called the sons of gentlemen, they are more arrogant and domineering than Jinyiwei, nostrils are facing the sky, and they do not give anyone face in Nanjing City.

I heard that this Cao Qianhu has some friendship with the noble children in Nanjing, and even has some familiarity with Grandpa Xu.

Cao Wei was also very polite to these hundreds of households, and told the hundreds of households in the courtyard of the thousand households some scenes such as reporting to the emperor and protecting the people, and then said some thoughtful words to the hundreds of households, such as greeting the cold and asking for warmth, your mother's surname, etc.

Hundreds of households scrambled to be the first, patting their chests and expressing their willingness to die for the thousands of households, and each of them presented two hundred silver tickets, hoping that Lord Cao would make up for his body more and not be too busy with official duties.

Lord Cao was moved to tears, and bluntly said that he would hold a banquet in Baihualou tonight, and he would give out the silver, hoping that everyone would have a good time. The scene of meeting Shangguan reached a climax in an instant, and there was a lot of flattery for a while.

In the end, the hundreds of households left happily, Cao Wei saw them leave, and then pinched the silver ticket in his hand, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, being an official is like doing business, what is important is to be kind and make money, if only every subordinate was so sensible, Cao Wei glanced at Zhang Meng who was standing stupidly on the side.

Zhang Meng saw that Shangguan's expression was not good, and said with a wry smile: "My lord, it's not that my subordinates refuse to give out the silver, but the subordinates really can't take it out, and the objects that the adults buy when they get married are all the silver taken by their subordinates, and they are all high-quality goods, as well as hiring matchmakers, fortune tellers, and greeting teams......

Cao Wei's face was a little unbearable, Zhang Meng looked at Cao Wei with infinite resentment, and said angrily: "My subordinates have been busy for several days, and when they wait until the evening of the wedding, they will have to eat the wedding wine, and your housekeeper Wang Sheng actually said that he can't enter the house without gift money." ”

"Wang Sheng did something inauthentic about this...... Did you finally pay the gift money? ”

"That's not true, my subordinates climbed over the wall in the backyard."

"Then you're so embarrassed......

……………………………………

There is a reason why Cao Wei set the banquet in Baihualou, because Baihualou is his own industry, even if he spends money, he still goes into his own pocket in the end, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

There is also a deep reason, that is, to guide the consumption habits of these hundreds of households. Most men's consumption concept is very simple, there is rarely the concept of shopping around, when he often drinks in one place, he will generally not change places in the future, so as long as Cao Wei treats guests, he must be in Baihualou.

When Cao Wei entered the Baihua Building, his face turned a little dark, because several hundred households had already ordered Accord, ordered wine and food, and even called the girl, waiting for the adults of the thousand households to have dinner together.

For this group of overly intimate subordinates, Cao Wei just wanted to scold his mother, because according to the original plan, he just wanted to order a vegetarian stir-fry for everyone......

When the girls walked into the Accord, the atmosphere of the banquet instantly reached a climax, and the corners of Cao Qianhu's eyes twitched when he saw everyone unceremoniously hugging the girls, and he simply lowered his head, silently cursing in his heart. The two girls sitting on the left and right looked at each other, but they didn't dare to come forward to toast, because when they came, Aunt Hua Niang specially explained that for the young official sitting at the top, they should not be flattered and should not show their chests......

During the banquet, all the hundreds of households ate and drank fiercely, and said flattering words to Cao Wei, but after all, everyone was coarse, and it was nothing more than praising Cao Qianhu for being a young hero, respectable and admirable.

Cao Wei smiled and listened to others praise him with peace of mind, after all, everyone present ate their food and drink, including the girl in his arms, all of them were his Cao Qianhu's silver, so listening to some pleasing words can be regarded as a kind of psychological comfort.

For Cao Wei, the only gain from this banquet was to have a general understanding of the virtues of the hundred households, among which the one who impressed him the most was a hundred households named Qian Ning. This person was born slightly fat, with a dark face and a simple appearance, which made people can't help but feel good at first sight.

During the banquet, Qian Ning talked and laughed happily, and even talked happily with other hundred households, feeling Qian Ning's gaze from time to time, Cao Wei smiled, this Qian Ning showed himself like this, just to attract the attention of his own official, very cliché but very practical.

Since he speaks calmly, he should also be clever in doing things, Cao Wei meditated in his heart, although Zhang Meng is loyal and brave, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he can't stand alone, and this Qian Ning will probably make Shangguan more worry-free.

In the future, any private affairs can be handed over to him to deal with, Cao Qianhu does not have to deal with the yin people in person, and if he encounters an assassination, he can block the knife, and if necessary, he can also carry the black pot for himself, the Shangguan...... With so many uses, Cao Qianhu already had the idea of soliciting in his heart.

As for whether Qian Ning is scheming and ambitious, Cao Wei doesn't care, because incompetent officials can't control ambitious subordinates, and to a certain extent, ambitious subordinates are easier to control.

"I heard that Qian Baihu's hometown is rich in willow trees, and I don't know if it's true or not......"

Qian Ning was stunned for a moment, then his face showed ecstasy, and he hurriedly replied: "My lord is really well-informed, and his humble hometown is indeed rich in willow trees. ”

Very good, sure enough, he is a person with a clear heart, Cao Wei nodded secretly, how did he know where Qian Ning's hometown was, Liu Tongliu, was hinting that Qian Ning stayed after the banquet. And Qian Ning also heard the meaning of Cao Wei's words, so he was happy, if he didn't understand what Cao Wei meant, it could only mean that he was a stupid person.

Cao Wei glanced at Zhang Meng, and saw that he was eating happily, and sighed silently in his heart, one stupid person is enough......
