Fu Bi said first: "This official has thoroughly investigated your accounts, except for the huge amount of silver, there is no violation of the law in the rest, after thinking about it, I feel that there is no need to continue the investigation, and the welfare lottery is about to be issued, so it must be returned." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded abruptly to show understanding, and then said with a look of hope: "Since the matter of borrowing has been thoroughly investigated, I wonder if Lord Shangshu can lift the ban and allow us to continue to issue bonds?" ”

"That's not going to work." Fu Bi shook his hand resolutely, and when he saw Cui Wenqing showing disappointment, he couldn't help but smile, and said: "But Governor Cui can rest assured, after the old man returns to the dynasty, he will truthfully tell you about the wonderful use of national bonds and military bonds, and urge you to continue to issue them. ”

Cui Wenqing nodded, knowing that this was also helpless, but fortunately, the Zhenwu Army still had a lot of silver taels, and there was no shortage of money to spend for a while.

Fu Bi looked at Cui Wenqing with straight eyes, and suddenly sighed lightly and said: "President Cui, speaking of which, it was your idea to issue welfare lotteries, but this official played the court in his own name, and I don't know if you will hold a grudge against this official?" ”

Cui Wenqing smiled indifferently: "Fu Shangshu is also worried that the kid is soft-spoken, and there is nowhere to speak of the wonderful use of the welfare lottery, so he played on behalf of him, and according to the lady, Fu Shangshu has already mentioned the boy's name on the fold, how can the kid hold a grudge?" ”

This is Cui Wenqing's sincere words.

Fu Bi has long commented on how he is a person in history, he is a famous minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, and he is definitely not a person who will be greedy for merit and grabbing merit, and the welfare lottery is reported to the political hall in the name of him and Zhezhao and Tongzhou, which can indeed attract the attention of the courtiers, and the issuance of the welfare lottery is naturally twice the result with half the effort.

Besides, for Cui Wenqing, he really doesn't care much about the welfare lottery, after all, compared to printing silver tickets, the money earned by the welfare lottery is really a small amount of money.

However, these words could not be mentioned to Fu Bi.

Hearing Cui Wenqing's words, Fu Bi felt even more guilty in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of love for talent, and said with a smile: "Actually, this official came here today, and there is one more thing." ”

"Fu Shangshu doesn't hurt to say it." Cui Wenqing raised his hand to signal.

Fu Bi smiled, and suddenly smiled again and said solemnly: "This official has heard that President Cui once participated in the imperial examination last year, and originally wanted to gain fame through the imperial examination and glorify his ancestors, but unfortunately he fell off the list, and until now he is also white, and now there are still some minor vacancies in the household department in charge of the official, and I don't know if President Cui intends to come to my household department to serve, so as to serve the imperial court?" ”

When Cui Wenqing heard this, he was stunned.

So this old man came here today to recruit me? Could it be that my brother is really so good that even this famous historical minister is impressed? It's amazing.

Complacent, Cui Wenqing quickly sobered up, and said apologetically: "Master Fu, I am currently the president of Hedong Bank, but I have no spare time to come to the household department to serve, and I can only appreciate your kindness." ”

Fu Bi's white eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said with some puzzlement: "Governor Cui is young and full of talent, how can he lie dormant in this small bank and not seek advancement?" If you can come to serve in the Ministry of Households, I believe that with your ability, it will not be long before you can be promoted to the rank of official and soaring, is it not as good as this unqualified bank president? ”

Cui Wenqing smiled bitterly: "I understand the words of the rich man very well, but I really don't want to be an official at the moment, in fact, in my opinion, the status of the bank is also very important, maybe one day, the court officials and ministers will also be interested in the bank." ”

Hearing Cui Wenqing say this, Fu Bi was secretly disappointed, and he also understood that the twisted melon was not filled, so he simply smiled with relief: "Well, this official respects President Cui's opinion, if he can come to Luoyang in the future, I hope to be able to meet this official." ”

"That's nature." Cui Wenqing nodded, and said a few more polite words to Fu Bi, and Fu Bi took his leave and left.

As soon as Fu Bi left, Cui Wenqing couldn't cry or laugh.

Cui Xiucai in his previous life racked his brains to find a way to become the first official, but he didn't expect that he would not hesitate to reject Fu Bi's proposal just now, but it was a pity, but Cui Wenqing experienced a sense of ease.

After all, his biggest wish now is to help Zhe Zhaodou turn his back, and he doesn't think much about other things for the time being, and as for going to Luoyang so far away to be an official, he has no plans at all.

Besides, the silver ticket is about to be issued, and he can't be allowed to go.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing's heart flashed, and suddenly he thought of someone.

Speaking of which, Lu Huiqing's guy has been locked in a cell for more than half a month, just like a monkey trapped on his five fingers, waiting for him, a Tang monk, to come to the rescue.

If he can be rescued from the cell, this person should be grateful to Zero Tears and honestly help him.

After all, Lu Huiqing's ability is beyond doubt, and with such subordinates, he can indeed be a lot easier.

Thinking of this, Cui Wenqing simply left his official business, instructed Lotus Ye to get into the carriage, and went towards Hedong Road through the mansion.

Drove to the Yamen, Tong Zhou was handling official business inside, and when he saw Cui Wenqing coming, he hurriedly put down the brush in his hand and said with a smile: "What kind of wind has blown Wenqing's virtuous nephew here today, haha, sit down quickly." After that, he got up and asked for it.

Cui Wenqing was not polite, and hurriedly sat down in front of the desk on the side, took a sip of the hot tea brought by the servant who came quickly, and then put down the teacup and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do and go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I came here today, because I have some things to do and want to trouble the people." ”

Tong Zhou didn't ask anything, nodded angrily and said: "When Ah Zhao left Taiyuan, he asked me to take care of you, if there is anything Wen Qingxian's nephew, it doesn't matter." ”

Cui Wenqing bowed his head lightly and said, "Actually, I'm here for Lu Huiqing." ”

"Lu Huiqing?" Tong Zhou frowned, recalling that Lu Huiqing and Cui Wenqing had a big quarrel over debt borrowing in Hedong Bank, and couldn't help sneering, "Speaking of this, the official also forgot to inform the virtuous nephew, Lu Huiqing, as a court official, is lawless and reckless, and actually dares to issue national debt and military bonds that have been expressly prohibited by the imperial court. ”

Cui Wenqing was stunned for a moment, and asked in wonder, "Explain to me?" I don't know what Mr. Tong means by this? ”

Tong Zhou said self-righteously: "This official knows that Lu Huiqing has always despised the virtuous nephew very much in his heart, and he has even contradicted the virtuous nephew several times, and he deserves to be punished. ”
