Early the next morning, Wu Zhi ordered someone to prepare gifts and go to meet Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou.

The Song Dynasty officials were known for their high salaries, so this Murong prefect also had a mansion in Qingzhou City and did not live in the mansion. The prefect is also a big official, unless it is a major event that is life-threatening, otherwise he rarely sits in the palace on weekdays.

The three thousand taels of silver, Wu Zhi had already let Zhang Tong exchange all of them into thirty yellow gold bars yesterday, each of which had a full weight, Wu Zhi asked Xiao Rang to hold a small box of gold bars, and brought a few entourages to carry a few jars of wine and oil, these gifts did not seem to be anything special on the surface, people just thought that this was a courtesy visit.

Frankly came to the door of the prefect's residence, and handed a greeting sticker to the gatekeeper, and after a while, the family came to politely invite Wu Zhi and others in.

Now Wu Zhi is also the number one person in this Shandong territory, and he has a good reputation, so it is not difficult to ask for a prefect.

After Wu Zhi invited the family to sit down in the hall, the prefect had not yet come, Xiao Rang and several entourages were waiting outside with gifts, and after receiving the tea from the maid, Wu Zhi began to look at the living room of the prefect quietly.

The living room is very spacious and bright, the antique tables and chairs are very neat and clean, and all kinds of potted landscape paintings are also scattered and decorated in the middle, especially the couplets hanging on the main hall are incomplete, and they exude a strong bookish atmosphere, and on the whole, this living room gives people a sense of elegance and otherworldliness.

However, Wu Zhi was not deceived by this appearance, although according to his level, he could not distinguish the authenticity and preciousness of those paintings on the wall, but he knew that the furniture sitting under his ass was authentic yellow rosewood!

In the various classifications of mahogany, the first-class rosewood is rosewood and rosewood, the reason why the rosewood is the first-class rosewood, not only because its wood is extremely dense and hard, but also because its production is extremely rare, Wu Zhi roughly estimated, just to make a complete set of furniture in this living room, at least dozens of high-grade rosewood are needed!

Moreover, Wu Zhi looked at the color of these furniture is a little dark and shiny, indicating that these furniture belong to the "old red" wood, and the value should be doubled, this Murong Yanda is the prefect of a state, and he will be a mayor in the future, even if the salary is high, it is difficult to put such a set of old mahogany furniture.

And the reason why Wu Zhi understands these doorways is also because he has been exposed to this aspect of things before crossing, and anyone who is not doing his job will always have a great interest in eating, drinking, fishing, catching birds, raising dogs, fighting cocks...... and the like.

Therefore, Wu Zhi concluded that the furniture must not have come from the right way.

After learning this, Wu Zhi's confidence increased a little more.

"Oops! The person who came is the big boss behind the scenes of the proud building, the big official of Wu Zhiwu? ”

Wu Zhi was thinking about it, and with a somewhat cordial greeting, he remembered that a fat man in a crimson official mansion appeared in the hall.

When Wu Zhi saw this, he hurriedly got up, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Caomin Wuzhi, I've seen Lord Murong!" ”

The Song Dynasty was so good, Wu Zhi later learned that "Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher", the Song people only kneel to heaven and earth, as long as they are not guilty people, even if they are flat-headed ordinary people, they don't have to bow down when they see the emperor, let alone a small prefect.

"Eh, military officials, please sit down!" This Murong Yanda was very polite to Wu Zhi, which made Wu Zhi a little strange.

After the two sat down, they naturally inevitably exchanged pleasantries, although this Murong prefect has a big belly and a fat brain, but his face has always been smiling, and he is very happy.

"Haha, the proud building of the martial arts officials is very famous! To tell you the truth, I ate it once in Jeju and I will never forget that delicious dish! After thinking about it day and night, the military officials finally opened the proud building to my Qingzhou! As he spoke, the fat on his face was squeezed together, revealing a hint of fascination and said, "I will be able to eat such a delicacy every day in the future, and I am a little excited to think about it!" ”

After listening to the prefect's words, Wu Zhi knew in his heart that he dared to love this as a foodie!

"It's really an honor for the small shop to be appreciated by the prefect!" Wu Zhi patted his ass and continued: "I came to visit the prefect this time, just to invite the prefect to come to the opening ceremony of Qingzhou Proud Building!" ”

"Hahaha! Don't worry, I will definitely arrive! By all means! Murong Yanda patted his big belly and smiled.

"Great! If the prefect can be present, the proud building will definitely be prosperous in the future! After Wu Zhi gave him another look, he lowered his voice and continued: "Actually, there is something I want to ask for help from adults when I come here this time. ”

"Oh? What's the matter, tell me about it? After listening to Wu Zhihou's words, Murong Yanda couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, picked up the teacup and asked.

Running for an official is still about money, and it is not illegal to be a big official, and Wu Zhi is too lazy to beat around the bush.

"Actually, it's not a big deal." Wu Zhi spread his hands and said: "It's my younger brother, who wants to join the army to defend his family and country, so I, as an elder brother, can't destroy his ambition, so I have to ......."

"Oh! This kind of thing is a trivial matter, let him come to Qingzhou, and I will arrange a military leader for him. ”

The status of literati in the Song Dynasty was much higher than that of soldiers, so after listening to Wu Zhi's request, Murong Yanda said briskly, he was in charge of all civil and military affairs in Qingzhou, and it was easy to arrange for individuals to enter the army.

After hearing this, Wu Zhi secretly said in his heart, if I just be the head of the broken army, I will bother to come to you?

However, he still showed joy on his face, and thanked Murong Yanda: "Thank you Lord Prefect for your support, I have some gifts here and please ask Lord Prefect to smile!" ”

After speaking, Wu Zhi called Se Xiao and others, who were guarding outside.

After Murong Yanda heard that there was a gift, his two little eyes also lit up, but after seeing that the gift was only a few jars of wine and oil, the glimmer of light was taken back.

These couldn't hide from Wu Zhi, but I saw him walk up to Murong Yanda and say with a smile: "This is the most famous golden wine and pure soybean oil in my proud building." "The price of golden wine has now been speculated to nearly one hundred and one jars, and after listening to Wu Zhi's introduction, Murong Yanda also nodded slightly.

"And ......" At this time, Wu Zhi could already conclude that this Murong Yanda was a corrupt official, he turned around and took the box in Xiao Rang's hand, and while slowly opening the box, he continued: "These twenty little yellow fish are a little bit of heart, to show the prefect's kindness to the promotion of the foolish brother!" ”

Wu Zhi exchanged thirty gold bars, but after Wu Zhi saw the golden gold, his heart was really itchy, so he deducted ten gold bars! Anyway, if you give a gift, there is no difference between two million and three million.

Gold is really a magical thing, almost human beings are born with a strong desire for gold, in ancient times various regions were relatively closed, but as long as there are places where human beings gather, they all invariably regard gold as a treasure, if only the low yield to explain it is too far-fetched.

After Murong Yanda saw the gold in the box, the greed in his eyes was revealed, but he did not take the gold, because he understood that the gift given by Wu Zhi at this time was far beyond the price of the position of military leader, so he continued to take a sip of tea, and said a little suddenly: "If I remember correctly, your younger brother is called Wu Song, right?" ”

Apparently, he already knew.

"Exactly." Wu Zhi was not in a hurry.

"Oops! But that Wu Song, the tiger-fighting hero who shook Shandong? ”

"Yes."

"Tut-tut! If I'm not mistaken, Wu Song is already the head of Yanggu County, if he comes to my Qingzhou to serve in the army, I should give a ......" Murong Yanda stared at Wu Zhi and pretended to think.

Wu Zhi knew that Murong Yanda was asking himself, he nodded slightly, and said lightly: "Just be in charge." ”

The commander belongs to the "team general" level officer, and in the 21st century, he is the platoon commander, and the military rank is the second lieutenant, which can be regarded as officially entering the officer ranks.

"Ahh Yeah! Anyway, I have to give a foot army commander! Ha ha! Seeing that Wu Zhi's requirements were so low, Murong Yanda was relieved.

Wu Zhi was also overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you Lord Prefect for your kindness!" After speaking, he quietly pushed the box of gold into Murong Yanda's arms.

And Murong Yanda also "casually" put the box next and put it aside steadily, without looking at the box, as if nothing had happened at all.

This "deal" is completely completed here, and there is a way to pay bribes......

"Prefect, there is one more thing that I personally gave to you."

Murong Yanda thought that Wu Zhi would leave immediately, and when he took a closer look at the gold, Wu Zhi said something that made his eyes light up.

"And gifts? Haha, great! Murong Yanda was a little surprised on the surface, but in fact, he was already happy in his heart, this Wu Zhi would really come to something, no wonder he was able to break into such a big industry at such a young age!
