Last night's fresh rain still left some traces, such as the autumn breeze that occasionally plucked the car curtain, cool and very comfortable.

Chen Ji woke up a little from drowsiness, his body was still lazily leaning on the carriage, and when he encountered a bump in the road, his forehead collided lightly with the carriage, making a very stupid sound.

Fang Jingyu was bored, and forgot the arrogance he should have as a border general. As long as I think that I might want to cooperate with this kid in the future, I don't feel angry.

After all, it is a close person who stays by the old man's side, and a lot of "gossip" knows naturally more substantially. Today's imperial court has a Tianjin Guardian Water Division, and a Yangtze River Naval Division is about to be unable to support it, where can it afford to raise a Denglai Water Division. In fact, the establishment of the Denglai Water Division was not a "policy of rights and interests" made because of the decline of the Tianjin Weishui Division, and the considerations involved were naturally very complicated.

More than ten years ago, from south to north, there were three naval divisions of Tianjinwei, Ningtai and Quanzhou along the coast, plus a Dongting Lake naval division, which can be described as a unique scenery for a while. Later, the Dongting Lake Water Division and the Quanzhou Water Division formed the Yangtze River Water Division, and the Ningtai Water Division was merged into Tianjin Wei, which was originally for the purpose of streamlining redundancy and improving combat effectiveness, but the result was even worse than before. The imperial court had no money to support, and because of the internal strategic forces of the sailors, it was difficult to completely rebuild, so they could only adopt the method of building a new sailor, hoping to break the original inherent balance. As a result, even if the court elder mediated it, it still couldn't be done for a long time.

At this time, after Chen Ji's idea of "contracting rights" was handed out through Song Qingming's mouth, the old Guogong who took over the matter also moved his mind. Of course, the specific "contract ratio" still needs to be seriously negotiated. Or maybe the old man just wants to learn more about the trickiness behind this "contract" through Chen Ji, so as to win a bigger "contractor".

Today's Chen Ji is actually still too weak.

Fang Jingyu thought about these things and had some doubts in his heart.

……

Qingzhou Yi, the old man and Xu Wu are still playing chess, Xu Wu occasionally releases water, the old man has one or two beautiful hands, and he is a little happy for a while, but after three or two hands, Xu Ge Lao fell into a son, and by the way, he took away a large piece of chess pieces belonging to the old man, and the old man's face turned black again, and he scolded "insidious and cunning." ”

Xu Wu listened a lot, and he didn't mind the old guy's "broken mouth" opposite, since he arrived in Qingzhou, there was no one who really sat "equally" sitting opposite him to play chess, it wasn't that he deliberately put on a shelf of Shangguan, it was true that Qingzhou officialdom put him too high. Therefore, even if Xu Guogong is a notoriously stinky chess basket, he is willing to sit down and play a few games.

"Hurry up Ming'er, the old man will go back to Dengzhou, and your old man will continue to stay in this dung pit and continue to struggle."

Saying this, it can be regarded as a riposte to just now.

Xu Guogong blew his beard and glared, and glanced sideways: "Can you speak?"

Xu Ge pointed to the chessboard: "Hurry up and admit defeat, this old man has to go to school."

Xu Guogong raised his eyelids, held a chess piece in his hand, twisted out a grain and rubbed it between his fingers, and didn't react for a long time.

Elder Xu Ge sighed.

Tea Kung Fu, someone outside came in to spread the word.

Xu Guogong found a step for himself, got up and left.

Xu Ge Lao looked at the figure helplessly, and muttered, "You are really not afraid of those imperial historians participating in you."

……

In the temporary courtyard where Xu Guogong lived, Chen Ji stood upright in the courtyard, and Fang Jingyu was next to him, but he was very relaxed, not as cramped and nervous as he was.

In the end, he is a big man who listens to the sky, Chen Ji is really self-deceiving if he wants to say that he is not nervous. Besides, he would knock on the side and try to get some news from Fang Jingyu, but the guy was stunned and didn't want to say more than half a word.

For example, he asked if the girl had anything to do with Xu Guogong at that time?

Fang Jingyu didn't answer, and even handed him a look of great disgust.

Chen Ji didn't want to be bored with himself.

I've been standing for a while, and there's still no movement. On such an occasion, which is related to the future, it is inevitable that people will have to think a lot.

Fang Jingyu stood with him for a while, went to the eaves by himself, and took tea from the small tea table, it was easy to get sleepy early in the morning, and he couldn't stand it if he didn't find something to do. Since calling the south, Fang Jingyu has felt that he is much more lazy.

Of course, don't forget to ask Chen Ji if he wants it.

Chen Ji shook his head and refused.

Then at the end of the corridor, an old man who had a little fortune came, and in a different place, Chen Ji probably only felt that he was an ordinary rich old man, except for being richer, where could he see the majesty of the grandfather of the country.

When the old man arrived here, Chen Ji saluted.

The old man looked at it for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Ji, right?" Are you guilty? ”

Chen Ji raised his head suddenly, fell into the scrutiny thrown by the other side, his knees weakened, and he almost knelt down and shouted that he had been wronged.

"Boss Mingjian......"

"Gotta get it, it's annoying enough to have an old student over there, don't coax you little guy." The old man interrupted Chen Ji, Fang Jingyu had already moved a chair over, and after the old man sat down, he said: "Tossing back and forth for more than a month, you kid tell the truth, how much benefit have you gained?"

Chen Ji said innocently: "What kind of benefits is the boss talking about?"

"Hey, this kid isn't being honest. Do you really want the old man to talk about it? Settle accounts with you? ”

Seeing this, Chen Ji didn't dare to hide it anymore, and told him about the current development of the bookstore.

The old man was not very satisfied, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that you put grain into disaster relief, the old man would definitely find out for your crime of disturbing the market and throw you into prison for a few months."

Chen Ji had an expression on his face that didn't know how to react.

The old man continued: "There are a lot of things in a mess, coincidence and premeditation, which are involved, and the insiders and outsiders are all clueless. There are at least a few things, your kid is implicated, the old man thinks, he should also give you a compensation, and besides, you saved Sining, if the old man didn't see it, he might be scolded after returning to Beijing. So I called you over today to ask you what you want, and the old man will be satisfied if he can meet it. ”

"As for some other things, you and I know it, and if you go through the old accounts, it will seem that the old man is small. But the old man needs to remind you that there are some things that you can't do in the end. ”

Chen Ji respectfully responded. The old man can be said to be the most capable person in Qingzhou at present, and it is only a matter of one sentence to want to know something. Although the points mentioned here are still a little vague, Chen Ji can roughly guess them.

The old man waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so restrained. Say, what benefits do you want the old man to give you? ”

Chen Ji looked seriously considering, and he didn't seem to be able to come up with an idea for a while.

The old man was a little helpless, and it was difficult to urge.
