Juancheng, located at the lower reaches of the Yellow River, is a waterway artery.

In the early morning of this day, Juancheng came to come with three incense carts, silver money in the inner treasury, imperial books and edicts, and placed in the Dragon Pavilion.

A long line, all huddled together.

Immediately ahead, the golden flag of the royal gift was displayed, and the golden drum banner team opened the way.

After walking about ten miles, there was already a mountain shed to greet you, only to see the colorful hanging flowers above, and the sound effect drum music below, forcing the road to greet.

When they arrived at the city gate, there was a colorful mountain shed. Seeing the cigarettes received, the Juancheng County Commander and the county lieutenant, the master, the priest, the head catcher and other officials waited for a long time.

Wang Lun looked at Xu Guanzhong, who was immediately surrounded by a group of officials, and chuckled, "Heh! It's still this majesty! "Let's take Guanghui and Ma Ling back to the restaurant.

A few days ago, Wang Lun received a message from Xu Guanzhong, saying that he was going to Juancheng to transport Huashigang and asked Wang Lun to come over for a while. Wang Lun and Xu Guanzhong hadn't seen each other for half a year, so they brought Guanghui and the others over. However, looking at the posture, Xu Guanzhong was afraid that he would be busy for a while, and he would not have the opportunity to meet him for the time being.

Juancheng County Lingzheng is the seventh grade, only one level lower than Xu Guanzhong, a living house from the sixth grade. However, when the Juancheng County Commander faced the Qin Cha, he did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

At the south gate of Juancheng County, looking at the black and oppressive heads, Xu Guanzhong's face changed and said: "This official is just ordered to do things, how can you let the county government wait here and mobilize the people?" ”

The county magistrate is good at flattery, and hurriedly said: "I wait for the king's luck, and I should share the king's worries and be loyal to the king!" I hope that the adults will give the lower officials a chance! ”

Xu Guanzhong understood the intention of the county order, so he said: "This is not the place to speak, and I also ask the county commander to move to the post station." ”

Now that Xu Guanzhong is a Qincha, the county commander naturally serves wholeheartedly, and said earnestly: "When the lord arrives in Juancheng, the lower official is a parent official, how can he not fulfill the friendship of the landlord?" Please also ask Lord Wang to give the lower officials a chance! ”

Seeing this, Xu Guanzhong did not shirk, and said: "The annoying county order the lord to lead the way!" ”

In less than half an hour, Xu Guan and the others came to the gate of a courtyard. The county order introduced the door and introduced: "This is the private residence of the lower official, please don't dislike the shabby!" ”

Although this private residence in Juancheng County is not extremely luxurious, the architectural layout is very elegant. The whole mansion is centered on a pond, and the covered bridge above the pond shuttles, connecting the main house, the wing room and the ear room, as for the inner house, outsiders are forbidden to enter, so it is unknown.

Xu Guanzhong didn't have time to taste the private house of Juancheng County, so he went straight to the study.

Now that many people have made a fortune because of Huashigang's promotion, this county order also thought about it, and said to Xu Guanzhong: "The place where Huashigang sank is Dongkou Town in this county. After the sinking of Huashigang, the imperial court sent people to investigate on the spot and prepare to salvage it. However, the Yellow River was muddy, and the undercurrent was surging, so the matter had to be put on hold for the time being. ”

Knowing the county order's thoughts, Xu Guanzhong said unceremoniously and directly: "I have brought all the money used to salvage Huashigang, a full five thousand taels of silver. You are the parent official of Juancheng County, how to recruit people, you must not need to worry about this official! ”

The county commander was low and small, hugged his chest and said: "Adults, just rest assured, the lower officials must go all out!" ”

After all, this county order is a parent official, and it is best to transfer labor service. Xu Guanzhong looked at the county order, and then instructed: "Build a camp by the Yellow River tomorrow." Then inform the townships and villages of the plan to salvage Huashigang, and recruit local villagers to send them. The notice states that the remuneration is good! ”

Hearing this reward, the county magistrate remembered something and said to Xu Guanzhong: "There is no need for adults to spend too much, the lower officials only need to send a team of officials to intimidate them a little at that time, and they are not afraid that they will be disobedient." Afterwards, if you take out a little money to show your gratitude, you can not only win fame, but also have a lot of money left. ”

Xu Guanzhong was angry and asked rhetorically: "Is it difficult to do anything underwater?" ”

The county magistrate thought for a moment and replied, "It's really dangerous. ”

"Since the underwater deed is to exchange their lives for money, if we deduct their money at will, what is the difference between it and the grass and people's lives?"

The county commander saw that Xu Guanzhong was angry, but he didn't dare to disobey, and responded: "Your Excellency is wise and merciful, and the lower officials are taught!" ”

Xu Guanzhong didn't like to be entangled, and continued to talk about this mission. "According to the records of the Temple Division, the Huashi Gang is huge, and all types of ships of the Caoyun Division cannot be stably supported. Hurry up and post notices in all the shipyards in the vicinity, so that those shipwrights can come to Juancheng County to work and be paid well. ”

After a pause, Xu Guanzhong gave a death order and said: "I will give you three days to recruit wrestlers and shipwrights, and after the matter is completed, I will definitely not forget your merits in front of the emperor!" After speaking, he opened the folding fan given by Huizong.

The royal fan appeared in front of him, and the county commander felt unprecedented pressure, and hurriedly said: "The lower official will do it immediately!" ”

------???? ------------------------------------------------------------------------

That night, Xu Guanzhong concealed his entourage and quietly went out to find Wang Lun.

In the restaurant where Wang Lun lives, Xu Guanzhong and Wang Lun sit opposite each other.

"You sent an envoy to Liao, what was the result?" Although Xu Guanzhong had already written to inform him of everything, Wang Lun still asked in person.

Thinking of the experience of Liao, Xu Guanzhong replied with a smile: "As you taught, Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed after watching a few tricks with me, and even wanted to worship me as a teacher." Then I took advantage of the situation and ordered a few sentences about the situation of Liao, and he was convinced! ”

"Yelu Yanxi is like a child, and he loves to play the most. You do what you like, and it's great to build relationships! Saying that, Wang Lun glanced at Xu Guanzhong and said: "If you wait for the Jurchens to start a war with him, your previous war prediction for him has also come true, and he still doesn't worship you as a god!" ”

Xu Guanzhong listened, smiled bitterly, and said: "If at that time, he wants to come to the Great Song Dynasty and invite me to go to Daliao to help him, and the current official family will not regard me as a traitor." ”

Wang Lun thought about Xu Guanzhong's identity as an internal response in the court, and said with a smile: "Aren't you the same now!" ”

made a joke, Wang Lun instructed Xu Guanzhong again: "The brother established diplomatic relations with Yelu Yanxi for the convenience of Song Liao's envoy in the future. However, the movement of the Great Song Dynasty is the most important. ”

"I know that!" Xu Guanzhong agreed, and then said: "This time, the emperor Lao'er sent me to salvage Huashigang's errand, and when the task is completed, I will enter the ranks of the five rank officials." ”

In the Great Song Dynasty, the five-rank officials were considered high-ranking officials, and they could be clothed. At the age of Xu Guanzhong in his early thirties, it can be said that he is on a steady rise.

Hearing Xu Guanzhong's words, Wang Lun pointed at him and said, "In this way, you have to beware of the villain's hidden arrows." ”

Xu Guanzhong also knew that he was born out of thin air, and if he became a celebrity in the eyes of the official family, some people would inevitably be jealous. At this time, he still can't be compared with Cai Jing, Gao Yu and others, and he is afraid of being attacked. After being reminded by Wang Lun, he nodded and said, "I thought I would wake up, and when I finish this errand, I will go back to Tokyo and make friends with a few Qingliu." ”

When Wang Lun heard this, he said the names of Yu Shi Cui Jing, Zheng Juzhong, and Zhao Ding in the Ministry of Rites. As for whether Xu Guanzhong can get in touch with these people, it depends on Xu Guanzhong's means. As for Taiwei Su Yuanjing, Han Zhongyan and other important ministers, Wang Lun didn't say it, thinking that Xu Guanzhong also knew about these two people, and he would get closer.

The two chatted for a while, remembering the matter of Hua Shigang, Wang Lun asked directly: "How do you think it is possible to salvage Hua Shigang from the water and transport it to Tokyo again?" ”

Xu Guanzhong didn't think twice and said: "The location of the shipwreck is marked, and the water is not too deep. Ships and manpower are all seven or eight points certain! ”

Seeing that Xu Guanzhong was not very sure, Wang Lun said: "In this case, I will accompany you to investigate tomorrow." ”
