Chapter 114: Jia Rudao

Although Wang Langzhong does not have a bad reputation for being untrustworthy, this kind of thing is purely a sideline, and it is impossible to return it if you accept it.

Because if his subordinates want to donate again, won't he come again? Shi Bin is very repulsive to this method of pinning his hopes on others.

So even though Shi Bin had seen the official document signed by Wang Langzhong prohibiting unauthorized donations to Xiangtan businessmen, he still hoped to add another insurance to put a tight spell on the Ministry of Water.

After thinking about it, he didn't come up with a way, because what he was familiar with in Song Tingzhong was Meng Hui and Jia Yidao, and Lu Wende was just a business relationship, and Zhang Shijie was just a nodding friend. And Meng Heng has already died of illness, and time is running out, so it is Jia Nidao who can go on this tight spell.

Now Shi Bin knows how difficult it is to do things, just to say hello to a small Jinghu South Road Water Department It took nearly half a month, and it took nearly six hundred taels of silver to get a clear answer. And this is still the manager of the Ministry of Water, not Shi Bin is unreasonable.

In order to be foolproof, he had to go to Jia Nidao to ask for insurance, if Jia Nidao was not his father-in-law, Shi Bin didn't dare to imagine how difficult things would be.

It's so difficult for him, a county magistrate who still has some real power, can those small people who are promoted to fight be better? Thinking of this, he could only hope that he would climb up as soon as possible and end this suffering as soon as possible.

I have to admire Wang San's sophistication, it seems that Wang San has long known these routines, so when he was shopping in the antique street, he bought a celebrity calligraphy and painting, and kept reminding himself to visit Jia Yidao.

Looking at Wang San's evil smile in the inn, Shi Bin could only be glad that this was his brother, not the enemy's strategist, otherwise he would be grateful to that person if he was tricked.

"When is the best time for us to go to Jiafu?" Shi Bin couldn't wait to go to Jiafu to ask for a tight spell now, but he knew that this matter was urgent, if he entered Jiafu so quickly and was known by the Ministry of Water, Wang Langzhong would definitely hold a grudge, so he decided to listen to Wang San's opinion.

"Big brother doesn't have to be impatient, then Wang Langzhong will definitely not regret it. A person like him must have known that you were Jia Yidao's son-in-law, and that was just to probe your depths. Wang San said with a smile.

Exploring the depths? Reasonable. If he directly presses Jia Nidao against him, it means that he Shi Bin is just a reckless man without scheming, if he can bypass Jia Nidao and get things done, then he will not dare to despise himself, and he must be treated carefully.

It is not advisable to go to Jia Rudao immediately after the matter is done, so it is distrust of his Wang Langzhong, and the result is not contempt but resentment, so there can be no mistake in this.

"In that case, when do you think it's appropriate for us to go to my father-in-law?" Shi Bin asked.

"Anytime is appropriate, as long as you don't go to the Ministry of Water so quickly." Wang San said meaningfully, it seems that when to go to Jiafu is not the point, but something else.

Plan and then act, of course Shi Bin understands. But he really didn't have much patience, and his mind was full of thoughts about going back to Xiangtan to tell those businessmen the good news.

But Wang San is still a high-minded performance that has nothing to do with himself, he is active when he is doing things, why is he still leisurely now?

"Does Big Brother want those businessmen to be grateful to you, or do you just want to have a benefit swap with them? Do you want to rise in officialdom or do you want to work hard for seniority? ”

Of course, anyone wants others to be grateful to him, and he is on the rise in officialdom, and no one understands these things.

When he was puzzled, Wang San wrote a word on the table with tea - "drag".

"Big brother, things must be done well, but you can't be impatient, of course, you are in a hurry to ask for credit, the sooner the better; It's a 'drag' word. It's too easy to get something that no one will cherish. ”

Thinking about it, it was really the case, and it took me and Wang San to get things done several times, and I still admired Wang Langzhong, for fear that he would regret it, which was nothing more than the effect of this procrastination. It seems that Jia Ling has really helped her a lot, and she really has to thank her when she returns to Xiangtan.

"Let's just have fun in this Ezhou city for a few days, and don't inform those businessmen that the matter has been done, as long as Xu Feng waits quietly for half a month." Shi Bin proposed.

Of course, this was the best decision, so the next day Shi Bin went to visit Jia Rudao.

As Jia Nidao's son-in-law, of course, there is no need to pay homage to the door, but it is best to follow the domestic slave and take him to Jia Nidao's study or bedroom, otherwise it will be too abrupt and appear to be lacking in cultivation.

Following behind the slave, he quietly stuffed him with a tael of silver, and asked with a smile: "How is my father-in-law's health and mood today?" ”

The slave looked at Shi Bin very happily and replied, "Uncle, don't worry, the master has recently added the household servant, and he is very happy." ”

In a blink of an eye, he entered Jia Nidao's study, and saw that Jia Nidao was processing official documents, so Shi Bin just stood aside and did not disturb. Soon the official document was processed, Jia Rudao raised his head and smiled: "Why does the virtuous son-in-law have time to come to see me today?" ”

Seeing Jia Yidao's appearance, he knew that he would come early in the morning, and he still looked like he didn't know anything, so he could only slander him for being cunning and cunning, but Shi Bin could only smile and say: "My son-in-law came to Ezhou City to do some trivial things, and yesterday I walked around the antique street and found a good painting, so I bought it to honor you." Besides, Xiaoling is waiting to give birth, the son-in-law is busy with official business, and he misses it very much if he hasn't seen him for many days, and it is a big crime not to be able to fulfill his filial piety before his knees. ”

Jia Rudao heard Shi Bin say that he was here to do something, and "immediately" asked himself if he could help, if he could. Of course, he knew that he would help, but he couldn't let him despise him, so Shi Bin politely refused to say that the matter had been done and there was no need for Jia Yidao to worry about it.

In the past, Shi Bin and Jia Ling came to this time as "debt collectors", but now they have given a celebrity calligraphy and painting, whether it is true or false, it makes him feel that the person in front of him is a lot more sophisticated, and it can be regarded as a material that can be made.

"How is the virtuous son-in-law in Xiangtan? Father-in-law, I've heard a lot of nice things about you. Jia Rudao asked.

Shi Bin said that he did have some achievements in Xiangtan, but he couldn't do without the full help of Jia Nidao and Jia Ling, and he would repay Jia Nidao's kindness with a spring.

If these words had been said before, they would have been just polite words, but now they are heartfelt words, and I hope that one day Jia Nidao will no longer be scolded by others, and he will have a good name.

So he said tentatively: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law has some words that are not pleasant, I wonder if you can listen to them?" ”

I know that it's definitely not a good word, but it's a son-in-law who is loyal to my ear, and I have to listen to it even if I don't want to hear it, so I nodded my head.

The father-in-law is on the rise, and the son-in-law admires it. Of course, the roadblocks must be removed, but please don't kill them all, and it may be better to leave people alive. But in any case, the son-in-law is definitely on your side. Shi Bin finished slowly and confessed.

Of course, this is not to be heard, but it is for his sake, and Shi Bin expressed his firm support for him, so Jia Rudao was not angry, but smiled: "How can I be angry if you think about me so much?" But my father-in-law wants to advise you, and don't do this to others. I already know about you in the Ministry of Water, and my father will call them to no longer embarrass you Xiangtan merchants. ”

Hearing this, Shi Bin was surprised, but immediately said that he would definitely follow Jia Nidao's warning, and next time he would bring his grandson to see him.

Jia Rudao was also very happy after hearing this, and personally sent Shi Bin out of Jiafu.

Out of Jia's mansion, recalling Jia Rudao's attitude at that time, Shi Bin felt that although he was cunning and cunning, his words were sincere, and he really couldn't be so straightforward in front of others, otherwise his kindness would not be rewarded.

After spending more than ten days in Jingzhou, he sent back the news that the Ministry of Water had ordered the revocation of the harsh taxes imposed on merchants in Xiangtan.

And he and Wang San are actually waiting for Xu Feng to return to the Ministry of Water to implement Wang Langzhong's order, the reason why they are in Jingzhou and not in Ezhou is that they are afraid that Wang Langzhong will hold a grudge after he knows, after all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and no one can be sure whether the other party is a rat belly or a sea of rivers when they deal with each other for the first time.

In Wang San's view, this is not only to let the two of them relax and relax, but also a test of their patience, neither can they be taken by Jiang Taigong's fishing wishes, nor can they be too impatient and impatient, they have to learn to relax in moderation.

In recent days, Shi Bin connected to Xu Feng's report, saying that although the order was issued, it was not fully implemented, and he was still leviing harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on Xiangtan merchant ships, but only reduced by 40%.

Shi Bin was not happy to hear the news, he has always been true to his word, such a result made him in a dilemma, although it did reduce a lot of burdens on those merchants, but did not fulfill his promise.

"Big brother, are you feeling bad. Think you've failed? Wang San asked with a grin.

These words are enough to hit Shi Bin, isn't such a result a failure?

"You've been very successful, hahahaha!"

Looking at Wang San's crazy appearance, Shi Bin was even more unhappy, then Wang Langzhong must have agreed to his request not only because of the five 'big yellow croaker', but also because of Jia Yidao's face. But the sum of the two only makes the family reduce the harsh taxes by forty percent, is it still glorious and successful?

Knowing that Shi Bin must be puzzled, Wang San had no choice but to say: "Big brother, it's actually not good for you to be a good bird to help those merchants, everyone has their own one-third of an acre of land, how can they do it and not make profits?" I don't know that the position of Shangguan who makes some benefits for his subordinates must be unstable, so it is already very face-saving for Wang Lang to reduce forty percent. ”

These words reminded Shi Bin of a word - small vault, where is there no "small vault"? Which Shangguan doesn't seek some small profits for his subordinates? It seems that Wang San's words are right, and Wang Langzhong is indeed very face-saving.

Then go back to Xiangtan like this? But from Wang San's eyes, there was no intention of going back, and it seemed that he wanted to rest in Jingzhou City for a few more days. However, Wang San is also an ambitious person, he will not lose his mind by playthings, and he must have some ghost ideas that he just didn't expect.

With this idea, less than three days later, Jia Yidao's house slave came to the inn and informed Shi Bin and the others to attend the banquet of the Jia family.

Such a news made Shi Bin immediately think of Wang San, and he must have pushed him in secret, so he asked him about the banquet of the Jia family.

Of course, Wang San didn't speak so easily, so he pretended not to know and pretended to be confused.

This time, Shi Bin didn't plan to rely on Wang San to say the reason, but planned to find out the reason himself, which could be regarded as fighting for himself. Sink down, hold your forehead with your hand and think.

As if by accident, he reached for their package containing the money, lifted it gently, and then put it down again.

At this time, there were a few polite words of mutual concern outside the store, probably saying that one of the families came back to save relatives, and the rest of the relatives and friends came to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

"I see," Shi Bin said with a smile, "Brother Xian, I remember that one of my guards asked for leave a few days ago and said that he was going home to worship his ancestors, right?" Five days is usually enough to do this, but I remember it took him seven days. If I'm not mistaken, did you ask for Xiaoling's family letter? ”

Wang San didn't bother to explain, so he took out his clothes directly from the package and prepared to attend the family banquet invited by Jia Yidao in the evening.

Soon it was time to turn on the lights, and now he is very free to enter and leave Jia's mansion, but he can't be rude, and as soon as he enters the door, he goes to Jia Nidao's study to say goodbye.

"Shi Bin, Wang Langzhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Water, and Qian Yuanwailang will come later, you should know everything. You're smart, but the heat isn't enough, so you want your brother, who is called Wang San, to come to the bar too. If it weren't for Xiaoling, I wouldn't want to owe such a personal debt. After Jia Rudao finished speaking, he ignored Shi Bin anymore, turned his head and looked at the official document again.
