Chapter 88: Find a way
Chapter Eighty-Eight: Think of a Way
In Hongshan Town, Yang Wen took the people carrying the gifts to the warehouse, only to see more than 20 camphor wood boxes unloaded. A team leader held the gift list, and Yang Wen turned over the boxes and counted them one by one.
Half an hour passed, the box was opened and seen, Yang Wen picked it, and put aside the valuable or cash silver, only one hundred taels of silver.
Now that I have brought it to see Xu Qing, I have to put on some useless boxes.
The amount of money that can be sent is small, which means that the person who came is still a clean official. Qing officials must also be promoted, and Qing officials must also understand human feelings and pull relationships, otherwise no one will know even if they work hard. So they found a way to take Xu Qing's shortcut. If Xu Qing returned to Beijing to face the saint and mentioned to the emperor that the counties around his hometown were well governed, it would naturally be a great honor for the emperor to know him.
Estimating the gifts given, Yang Wen took out some of them as a return gift, and then settled the porter who carried the box, eating and drinking.
Xu Qing was there, and everyone had already entrusted him with what they were asking him to do, and it was the same as the Tanzhou Thorn History, hoping that Xu Qing would walk around Chang'an for them. The four county magistrates want to move around, so they naturally want to be promoted and rated as excellent, and the male county sons of those counties hope that Xu Qing can find a real shortage for them, so as not to sit on the mountain.
The so-called walking around is nothing more than to help them give them a gift and be a "courier", in exchange, the four counties said that they would open the door to the Xu family's industry in their own jurisdiction.
Xu Qing is not short of money now, if they promise how much silver, maybe Xu Qing will have to twist it. But as soon as he heard this, Xu Qing immediately said yes. The four county orders thought that Xu Qing was opening a river and agreed indiscriminately, until Xu Qing put forward his request.
First of all. Among the four counties, no other brand of sugar factories is allowed, and Hongshan Town will expand, and it can also invest in other factories in the four counties. In addition, we will crack down on unscrupulous merchants who are shoddy and imitate Xu Ji candy. In addition, the Xu family caravan can enjoy favorable tax treatment when it crosses the border.
With these three conditions, it is simply asking the county orders of the four counties to protect the territory. The four county commanders discussed with each other, remembering that their term of office was only four years, and it would not hurt to make an exception to give the Xu family industry and commerce protection within four years, after all, the official career is more important.
Verbally agreed, Xu Qing helped the four counties and county commanders to go to Chang'an, and promised to help them put their words in place and deliver the courtesy. And the county magistrates helped the Xu family's industry to give the green light in all aspects.
In the end, it was a deal with those county men, they, hehe, it wasn't that Xu Qing looked down on, there was really nothing Xu Qing could look down on. It's just that they are meritorious people after all, and as long as people live for a while, they have a chance to rise to the top. Xu Qing didn't have a cold face, so he agreed.
The guests and hosts were happy, and the four counties and county orders each went back to prepare gifts, and the county man and county son also gave Xu Qing another reward.
Xu Qing called Yang Wen and saw that there were only more than 100 taels of silver, so he asked him to write it in the account book, which was to be handed over to the old wife's group to see.
There was nothing to do for half a day, and Xu Qing was not in a hurry to go back to the house, but stayed in Hongshan Town until the second day. During this period, I took the drawings and charcoal to paint, and pondered for a long time, but finally failed to take a step forward in the construction of the gun.
The next day, the convoy came back, and the large amount of silver that Xu Qing brought back from Cangzhou arrived, and the villagers of Luo Xiuxiu, Tanzhou Thorn Shi entrusted Xu Qing's Tan Jing. What Xu Qing cares about the most is Xu Qi, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss it.
A car pulled into Hongshan Town, and passers-by stopped to watch and discussed, where did such a large group of people come from. Xu Qing was also counting the carriages, strange, why didn't he see Xu Qi?
Halfway through, Xu Qing was a little panicked, could it be that the little girl went back to Liaodong alone?
Xu Qing pulled a horse and tapped along the convoy to find Xu Qi. It wasn't until he walked to the end of the team and saw the pouting porcelain doll that Xu Qing was relieved. The moment he put his mind down, he realized how much he cared about Xu Qi.
Xu Qing rode up to her and scolded with a smile: "Silly girl, why is the pestle at the back, isn't it cold?" ”
Xu Qi pouted and refused to put it down, snorted, looked to the side, and then said, "I just want to see if some people in the gentle township still remember my ......"
Xu Qinglang smiled and said, "What's wrong, why are you still angry with me......"
Xu Qing couldn't help Xu Qi say anything more, pinched the horse's belly, and staggered with the horse Xu Qi was riding, and then picked up Xu Qi, put it in front of him, and rode the same horse.
"Let go, hum!" Xu Qi struggled desperately in Xu Qing's arms, but where could Xu Qing let her break free.
"Xu Qi, you were bought by my master, and your father also said that he gave you to me, do you dare to be disobedient?" Xu Qing said and hugged Xu Qi tightly, told her not to struggle for the time being, and put her on the horse. slapped the little buttocks and scolded: "Xu Qi! Do you dare not listen to me? Do you dare to roll your master's eyes? Do you dare to make a small report? ”
This time, Xu Qi didn't make trouble, Xu Qing thought she was sulking, but who knew that Xu Qi hugged Xu Qing's thigh and bit it. Then he let go, broke his tears and said with a smile: "Stinky Xu Qing, you insulted me just now, you have to be responsible for me!" ”
Xu Qing hummed for a moment and said, "What a little girl, you actually calculated my ......"
Xu Qi smiled and said, "Hehe, it's your honor that Princess Ben has taken a fancy to you, do you know, huh?" ”
Xu Qing shook his head and said, "What's the use of you calculating me, even if I recognize you, Xue'er and they may not recognize you." ”
Xu Qi lay on Xu Qing's lap and wondered: "Why, I can give them so many small reports!" ”
Xu Qing showed a face unique to a "conspiracy theorist", and said with a sneer: "What do you think, now that there is Luo Xiuxiu, you have almost offended her." Xue'er, they will offend Xiuxiu for you, and you are so small, they will only try their best to support you. ”
Xu Qi suddenly panicked, got up, sat down in front of Xu Qing and asked, "What should I do then?" ”
Xu Qingtan spread his hands and said, "I know what to do,"
"No, you've got to figure it out!" Xu Qi seemed to be about to die and come back to life, clenched his fists and pointed at Xu Xiaoqing, and said to Xu Daqing: "You, if you can't think of a way, I, I'll beat it to death!" ”
Xu Qing swallowed his saliva, he knew that Xu Qi, a stupid girl, would do anything, so he had to say: "Oh, I'm thinking of a way, if you're like this, I'll be nervous, I can't think of it, you put it down first, and discuss it ...... something."
Xu Qi shook his head, his eyes became more determined and fierce, a porcelain doll-like face, puffing up, and cute.
But Xu Qing was not in the mood to appreciate it, for the sake of his little brother, he was busy putting on the state of a thinker.
