When Li Zhi came to Ezhou Mansion, Li Ting had been waiting outside the mansion for a long time, and he was very happy to see Miao Liguo and Zong An.

In front of him, Li Zhi explained to the two again, and then Li Ting led him to find a place to have a big meal.

The two entered the mansion, and Jiyuan had fun while walking: "Li Ting has made a big bargain, if there is a junior hunter in the ordinary army, he will be treated as a treasure, and if there are two more first-level masters, his voice will be amazingly high!" ”

Li Zhi turned around and expressed his approval, "If you are a master, you must be born in a cultivation family or a sect, the former is better to say, the court is extremely sensitive to relevant sects." ”

"Those high-ranking officials, which one of them doesn't have a secret guardian who has a close connection with the cultivation world? There is no corpse dove in the high gate of the capital, and it is strict with the outside world, and it is convenient to open the door by itself, how does the court judge this phenomenon? ”

Jiyuan's complaint attracted Li Zhihe's happiness, "I said senior brother, have you found it yourself, after walking out of the Ludi Grass Hall, your temperament has changed dramatically, and you don't have the indifference of not eating the fireworks of the world before, but you have more adaptability after observing public opinion." When I think about it, I never seem to feel like you're at a loss for the real world. ”

Jiyuan replied with a laugh, "Indifference is only relative, every day from the lake back to the house, I also hope that there are big fish and big meat waiting, but I don't have any money." ”

Someone in the hall responded with laughter, "The Taoist chief is not short of silver to spend now, and he also said that Li Ting has made a big bargain and can follow the text, but it is effortless, and even the troubles for the next few hundred years will be solved for you!" ”

It was Li Teng who spoke, he was holding Ibn in his arms, and he felt that the child was struggling, and bent down to put it on the ground, and the little guy rushed towards Li Zhi.

Li Zhi picked him up, and Li Teng was already explaining: "I slept a lot in the afternoon, this kid woke up and clamored to find you, not to mention, although he is young, he speaks Chinese neatly!" Zhang Hongyu"

In the other suite, Sasher came out when he heard the news, "Ibn said that you promised him to eat barbecue meat last night, and you refused to eat the dinner sent by Li Fu Yin. No, I was forced to come here looking for Mr. ”

Li Zhi was very satisfied that Iben remembered himself, for a child who was less than three years old, he could still remember himself at a short dinner, Li Zhi believed that this was due to the unique cultivation qualifications in his body.

The first time the two met yesterday, it was like love at first sight between men and women, and they liked each other, which was really rare.

Before Li Zhi planned to accept Ibn as an apprentice, Sasher only thought that he simply liked his son: "Such a big child, it is very pleasant to see him once in a while, and after a long time, he will feel his skin, and the ability to speak in his mouth will become nagging!" ”

Bei Zheng appeared at this moment, and when he saw Li Zhiyuan, he smiled and said: "The abbot went back to the inn to clean up and left, his expression seemed to be very urgent, and the soldiers at the city gate also said that the group of three had already left the city." ”

He actually has cultivation, but he is only a second-level hunter, originally Li Zhi didn't plan to ask him to come with him, but the head of the Bei family intended to let him prepare for the transfer of his position in advance, and when he came back, he sorted out some personal belongings.

Including Li Teng, he will also be transferred to Guangzhou City, but he is only seconded as a personnel, and he is still the governor of Ezhou, but he has a part-time job in the governor's mansion similar to Pei Zheng.

The history of the assassination of Guangzhou City has not yet been finalized, and the people who arrived in Chang'an City are only for a new appointment under the history of the assassination.

Seeing Bei Zheng coming, Li Teng remembered this matter and asked: "According to Bei Shaoyin, in the Holy Decree, it is only mentioned that in the future, the Guangzhou Assassin can only promote civil officials, you go back and help me inquire, and mention Zhang Hongyu." ”

Li Yi patted his head, this Zhang Hongyu was the father of Zhang Jiuling, he once wanted to go to Zhang's house to contact the relationship in advance, and take the opportunity to get to know Zhang Jiuling, who was not much older than Ibben.

"Look at my brain, I want to ask for some pigeon training and breeding. Zhang Hongyu is the governor of Guangzhou at the moment of Taichang Temple, and it is a little difficult to upgrade a few levels in a row! Li Zhi reminded.

Li Teng shook his head and said: "It's what Bei Zheng brought back Lord Mi, I don't know that Zhang Hongyu, according to Lord Mi's explanation, this person played a huge role in this incident of the Guangzhou Assassin Mansion!" ”

Li Zhi did not question why Mi Rui did not mention this matter to himself directly, but passed it on through Li Tengzhi's mouth.

This is the ingenuity of the way of being an official, they all know that Mi Rui and the relationship is an old friend, by him to propose, it will incur the reputation of being virtuous and not avoiding relatives, if Zhang Hongyu is really promoted in the future, to become famous, everything is easy to say, otherwise it will attract himself to be accused of poor recommendation.

And through Li Teng, who is far away in Ezhou City, he first proposed that he avoided the internal greasy that everyone may know, but as long as there is no obvious evidence, Mirui's competitors can only turn a blind eye and pretend to know nothing.

The relationship between Mirui and Li Zhi will not have any problems if it is raised face-to-face, but according to the Tang Dynasty legal system, it is not allowed to communicate privately between foreign officials at the same level on the issue of their respective officials' trade-offs.

Mi Rui's move is a typical officialdom thinking routine, transferring his opinions to a third party, and Li Teng will raise the issue of candidates and ask Li Zhi for help, even if it is directly pointed out that the original meaning comes from Mi Rui's mouth, it is completely different from the nature of his own speech.

Li Zhi didn't blame Mi Rui for his unnecessary behavior, but he also understood Mi Rui's hardships as an official.

He didn't think that this kind of behavior was suspicious of Mirui's scheming, because it was just a purely self-protective instinct of people in officialdom.

Officialdom pays attention to discussing the problem to the end, but Li Teng explained the key in one sentence, that is, he didn't want to be caught between the two and make it difficult for each other, but finally chose to throw himself to Li's side.

His way of solving the problem is also similar to Mi Rui's motives, and only the inherent thinking of officialdom interprets the traditional method of being an official, which has little to do with scheming.

So Li Zhidang didn't know at all, but he replied positively: "I'll inquire when I return to Chang'an City, if there are no specific instructions from Luoyang City, even if there are already candidates in the court, I will try." ”

Mi Rui and Li Tengsui are both military attachés, but there are distinct traces of civilian officialdom routines, he can not care, but it does not mean that he will be like this, because of the pride of cultivators, he thinks there is no need to hide things.

Therefore, he will not shy away from expressing his thoughts.

Li Teng knew this, and then changed the topic, "The two giant ships of Zhengqing Wenqitang have made progress, there are two manufacturers, three shifts are recombined to create two sets of teams, and the twelve hours of each day will be fully utilized, and the overall framework will be produced after one month, and the initial construction will be completed within three months, and the sea trials will be launched within May, and the delivery will be delivered in six months!" ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed, "This speed is twice as fast as my personal prediction, telling the manufacturer that silver is not a problem!" ”

"I have privately decided for my husband to pay an extra 20% commission for each boat, forcing them to make a promise, the quality is not up to standard, and I will not take a penny!"

"It's a great thing to do, I approve of it!"

"There is also the Lingji South Temple after getting the new site on the top of the mountain, in order to express their gratitude, they sent 500 catties of various tea leaves to Mr. Ezhou Mansion and Ezhou City started a family, and made up another 500 catties, a total of 1,000 catties, do you want Mr. to go and check it out? ”

"Family? Cheng Haoyan"

"No, it's his son Cheng Xinyi, this kid was scared by Mr. and took the initiative to seek cooperation, and it seems that his temperament has changed a lot, and he is much calmer than before!"

Li Zhi laughed, "He is doing whatever he wants like before, I will take back the Zhengqing Wenqitang business handed over to him, and he is also fifty years old, so he doesn't worry about his old father at all!" Let's go and see those teas, don't be any big road goods. ”

In fact, these are trivial matters, and when they talk about it so solemnly, the purpose is to downplay the questions raised by the talented personnel, and finally if they continue to communicate, both of them find that there will be more or less embarrassment with different ideas.

Li Zhi's Qiankun bag is not a secret, in front of Li Teng, put away the thousand catties of tea.

For Li Teng, he was not stingy, and directly took out a large pile of half-moon stones, this kind of spiritual ore is useless to Li Teng, who has no cultivation, but because of the Tongyun Cave, more and more cultivators will come to the door in the future.

As the highest local governor, he can't decide on the issue of entry quotas, at least he can use the Half Moon Stone to send out some related households.

When he returned to Tongyun Cave, he stayed with Bei Zheng, but he took the four of Sascher's family with him, and he would return at night anyway, so he would not delay the children's rest.

After passing through Baiyun Cave, Li Zhi did not shy away from those people from the palace.

There were five of those people in total, and there were only two of them at the master level, but they were the same third-level existence, belonging to the top existence among cultivators, and of course there was still a gap between them and the Great Perfection like Xingji.

The other three were their retinue.

Entering Tongyun Cave, I learned that the two masters were named Xi Yehe and Jianmu, the latter was originally a loose cultivator of the Daomen, belonging to the people outside the Hua, one of the two was in Xingqing Palace, and the other was in the East Palace, both of which belonged to the inner guard.

Ouchi's guardian is not on the list, and it is a semi-private high-salary hire, of course, it is the official silver of the palace.

Usually there is nothing specific to do, except to accompany the guardian to go out, there is only one night duty mission every seven days.

They didn't dare to hide this, after all, Li Zhi's identity was there, the Ten Kings, but Chang'an City had the highest class except for the direct royal relatives and the three dukes and nine kings.

What's more, among the ten kings, there are people from the royal family who rank among the nine kings.

Li Zhi, in particular, has the privilege of entering and exiting the palace freely, and has a strength that is far beyond that of a third-level master.

Li Zhi didn't put up any arguments with them, but sat cross-legged together, discussing the key issues in the entire plan in a deep voice.

As he and Sun Simiao had said before, this kind of person first regarded himself as a person in the cultivation world, and their respective positions were just a way to survive.

They are different from those hidden masters who are secretly supported by the imperial court, and they did not have too deep a relationship with the imperial family before taking office, and the reason is clear and clear, and they know very well that they should be in that position.

Especially Xi Yehe, who was the first to express his attitude, and even took the initiative to accept Li Zhi's so-called toxic elixir, which shows this person's eagerness for realm improvement.

Of course, Li Zhi would not use that kind of elixir, and the purpose of showing it was not to control the two, but to show his sincerity through it.

He didn't intend to provide the two of them with Shi Yuanye, without that kind of blessing assistance, he would enter the cultivation for a period of time like them, and he didn't have seven or eight years, and he planned to advance to the third level of the Great Perfection, let alone the Grandmaster Realm.

Therefore, Li Zhi also directly pointed out that unless he resigns from his position and stays here for a long time, he will only be promoted within two or three years.

But he rejected Xi Yehe's idea of resigning from the palace immediately, and instead gave the two a year to think about it.

Of course, Li Zhi would not let them use the cultivation room in the Tongyun Cave for nothing, and the exchange condition proposed was to use their first advantages to implement the previously agreed promotion of the demeaning effect of the Tongyun Cave within the scope of their capabilities.

In addition to this kind of requirement, they will also symbolically receive a number of treasures, and they are in the big interior, what kind of treasures have not been seen, and among the rewards they receive are many precious jade ornaments or ornaments.

Zhengqing Wen Qitang operated these many things and reaped more benefits, which was not only considered reliable by the two of them, but also made him suspect that the ancestor had other plans.
