Qian Yiai heard Ma Mingyuan say that he was going to start from Suzhou, where his home is located, and he was very anxious. Qian Yiai knew that it was now called measuring land, but in fact, the imperial court wanted to find out the actual amount of land in various places, and then implement that what kind of apportionment into the mu, that is, all taxes were charged to the land for money.

"Lord Shoufu, do you have the right to not pay taxes after the land is measured?" This is the key to Qian Yiai's concern, after all, Qian Yiai is also the ruling class, and no one wants their own interests to be lost.

"Zigao, now that the country is in danger, it is the time for my generation to contribute to the country, how can I care about some personal interests?" Ma Mingyuan blurted out a big truth, and rolled his eyes when he said that Qian Yiai was loved.

"Motosuke, can my family hold it off? Lord Motosuke, my father said that if you put it off, you can donate 3,000 acres of the best grain field to Motosuke! ”

Qian Yiai originally wanted to make a deal with Ma Mingyuan, but as soon as the words came out, Ma Mingyuan laughed, and the laughing Qian Yiai was inexplicable.

"Zigao, you're not qualified enough to make a deal, your father is almost here! But the old man will tell you now, even if your father receives money, the old man will not agree, and the measurement of land must be treated equally, and there must be no specialization! Even the old man, he can't show favoritism in this, you know? ”

Ma Mingyuan is right, Qian Yiai is smart, but his status is too poor. Ma Mingyuan is an important minister of the emperor, which is comparable to you as a low-level official. In the past, Ma Mingyuan loved Qian Yiai and was pleasant, that was because Qian Yiai's Lao Tzu was still in office, and now that Qian Qianyi has given his respect, you Qian Yiai is still pretending to be a little big.

Seeing Qian Yiai sitting there with a red face, Ma Mingyuan didn't give him a good face: "Zigao, I asked you to come today just for Zhang Tongchang's business, you can do it!" The old man is tired, so he won't send you! ”

After Ma Mingyuan finished speaking, he stood up and left, leaving Qian Yiai to sit in the room awkwardly.

Ma Mingyuan's behavior is very rude, but there is no way to do it, Ma Mingyuan is right, who do you think you are? You're gone, you're not bullshit! Do you feel that if you befriend the prince, you can be on an equal footing with the old man? What wishful thinking!

Qian Yiai was killed by Ma Mingyuan's rudeness, but what could he do? I have already taken refuge in the crown prince, can I still switch to others? Even if he did that, not to mention the revenge of the prince's family, even after he went to the new group, it would be impossible to get into his current position.

Qian Yiai is now the prince's number one strategist, as long as he doesn't make any mistakes, when the prince ascends the throne, Qian Yiai will be reused, and it is not impossible to become a cabinet elder in the future!

Qian Yiai sat in the room and thought about it, the price of betraying the prince was too great, it was so big that he couldn't bear it, and it seemed that he had to go down this road.

After figuring out the love of Qian in the future, he got up with a long sigh and walked out of the horse mansion and returned to his home.

The next day, Qian Yiai finished handling official business in the Yamen in the morning, changed his clothes and went to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and he was going to find Zhao Mengguan today. Qian Yiai has no acquaintances in Jinyiwei, and only knows Zhao Mengguan alone.

Zhao Mengguan has been in high spirits since he served as the commander of the Jinyi Guard three years ago, and after he has an identity, he has accepted two fourteen or fifteen-year-old concubines, if it weren't for the yellow-faced woman at home who is still alive, Zhao Mengguan will definitely look up to the sky and shout: The three happy events in middle age, the promotion and the death of his wife, let Lao Tzu catch up!

Today, Zhao Tongzhi just had lunch and sat in the study and chatted with his subordinates. His gang are all unsatisfactory people back then, and now with the improvement of Zhao Mengguan's status, they all hold important positions in Nanzhen Fusi, so they naturally have to compliment Zhao Mengguan.

A hundred households said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, now the brothers are living very comfortably, Wang Xian's gang of bastards are hiding when they see us!" This is all thanks to the eldest brother! ”

"Big brother, I have already taken down all the areas around the Confucius Temple in Nancheng with my subordinates, and our brothers will be able to eat and drink spicy food in the future!"

"Also, eldest brother, a few days ago, Beisi Qu tried a thousand households to commit something and killed a little widow in Beicheng, and now that family has sued our Nansi, what should I do if my eldest brother should do it?"

A hundred households on the side scolded: "This doesn't need to be said!" That crippled man has always been domineering, relying on his friendship with Wang Xian, and has always looked down on us, but this time when it falls into our hands, he doesn't fiddle with his eighteen appearance? ”

When Zhao Mengguan was down, this crippled man relied on Wang Xian's power and oppressed Zhao Mengguan in every way, so today's crime fell into the hands of Nanzhen Fusi, and these guys were ready to avenge Zhao Mengguan.

How do you know that Zhao Mengguan smiled and said: "You have to be forgiving and forgiving, you have to be merciful to Lao Qu, don't be too ruthless, just punish it a little!" ”

The subordinates didn't know what Zhao Mengguan meant, this was not like Zhao Mengguan's kind of person who would repay him.

A thousand households were just about to speak, Zhao Mengguan waved his hand and said: "I know what you think, Qu Cripple was very bad to us back then, was the house outside your city robbed by him?" Dogleg: Is it the same for your shop in Nancheng? ”

Several officials nominated by Zhao Mengguan nodded, Zhao Mengguan sighed and continued: "I know that everyone has suffered a lot of anger in the past few years, but this cripple must not move, just punish him slightly!" ”

"Big brother, why is that? Qu Cripple is just a thousand households, and the background is Wang Xian, why is the eldest brother afraid of him? ”

"Humph! Afraid of him? Lao Tzu is not afraid of him being a cripple at all, even his backstage Wang Xian Lao Tzu is not afraid! Lao Tzu is worried about Princess Yuyang! ”

Zhao Mengguan's subordinates were stunned when they heard the boss say this, everyone knew the name of Princess Yuyang, that was the beloved daughter of His Majesty the Emperor, the sister of the King of Chu, and was second only to the eldest princess Zhu Luo among the emperor's daughters.

However, Qu Cripple is just an ordinary brocade guard, although it is very good to try the position of a thousand households to scare those ordinary people, but it is not much stronger than a dog for the royal family!

Zhao Mengguan saw the doubts on his faces and said in a low voice: "Do you know how Lao Qu's leg is lame?" Do you know that Lao Qu and Wang Xian participated in the Fuzhou operation back then? ”

Zhao Mengguan's subordinates were all on errand with him in Dongguan County, and they did not know about Jinyiwei's early actions. However, Zhao Mengguan's subordinate Li Zhun was responsible for managing the archives and personnel, and he knew that the 500 people who went to Fuzhou with Wang Xian to save Princess Yuyang only survived less than 100 people, and now Jinyiwei is still allocating silver taels every year to support those Jinyiwei's families.

Li Zhun heard Zhao Mengguan say this and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, could it be that the lame man Qu also saved Princess Yuyang?" ”

"Li Zhun, you're right, Lao Qu not only participated in the Fuzhou operation, but his lame leg was cut off by the Qing army for Princess Yuyang. Otherwise, you think that the martial artist who doesn't know a single character in Lao Qu can directly become a trial thousand households? ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard Zhao Mengguan say this, fortunately, Lao Qu had just been taken into custody and had not been executed, if he really wanted to make a good fight to alarm Princess Yuyang, then no one would be able to save himself.

"Big brother, now that Lao Qu has been taken into custody, what can I do? I can't put it down, and I can't hit it! ”

"This is simple, although Lao Qu has saved the princess, but what is his Lao Qu? Princess Yuyang will not stand up for him for such a shameful thing, but if she wants to kill Lao Qu, it's another matter! So we just need to control the little widow's family and reduce Lao Qu to 100 households! ”

Zhao Mengguan's strategy is really poisonous, your old song has caused a human life, but you have a merit in saving the princess, and you will be demoted, so that no one can find out the courtesy. But it is not the same when trying to test a thousand households and a hundred households, a hundred households can only be regarded as a middle-level official, and a thousand households are different. Jin Yiwei now only has 64 thousand households in the outer eight, a total of 14 people in 1,000 households, and 28 people in 1,000 households, these 42 people are in charge of tens of thousands of secret agents in China.

When these guys heard Zhao Mengguan say this, they slapped their ass one by one, and Zhao Mengguan laughed and said.

At this moment, a brocade guard Xiaoqi walked in outside the door, and after entering the house, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Tell Tongzhi and adults, there is a young man at the door, who claims to be the second master of Tongzhi, let Tongzhi personally greet him!" ”

Zhao Mengguan was born in Guangdong, and naturally has a lot of relatives in the family, of course he has his own second uncle, but Zhao Mengguan is already in his forties, and his second uncle has been dead for many years, and now suddenly someone is his second uncle, do you say Zhao Mengguan can not be angry?

The dogleg on the side looked at the words and looked at the face of Lord Tongzhi, and one of the hundred households jumped up and kicked the little flag, scolding: "You bastard, can you speak?" Do you want to be transferred to the northern provinces? ”

Zhao Mengguan's Nanzhen Fu Division is in charge of personnel, so he can naturally transfer this unlucky guy to the north in minutes. This guy is a small flag, isn't it a demotion to be transferred to be a secret agent?

When the little flag heard that he was going to go to the enemy-occupied area to fight hard, he was naturally scared in his heart, and shouted in his mouth: "Lord Tongzhi, you are adults of thousands of households, the little one is just a gatekeeper, give me a big courage and dare not deceive your adults, there is really a young man in his twenties at the door, who claims to be the second master of Lord Tongzhi." The little one didn't believe it at first, but the young man said that he had something important to find his eldest nephew, and the little one was responsible for delaying the affairs of the Tongzhi adult! ”

After speaking, the little flag raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Mengguan, and saw that Lord Tongzhi didn't say anything, and then said: "My lord, the little one is afraid of delaying the affairs of Lord Tongzhi, so I came in to tell him, if Lord Tongzhi doesn't want to see him, the little one will go out and beat that guy out!" ”

Zhao Mengguan has been in charge of the Nanzhen Fusi for several years, and he was frightened inside the Jinyi Wei Yamen, and many corrupt officials in the Beizhen Fusi were found out by Zhao Mengguan. However, this is only inside the Jinyiwei, and on the outside, his reputation as the second-in-command of the Jinyiwei is not as high as Wang Xiangao.

Zhao Mengguan summed it up, and today he didn't know that the tiger who dared to come to pick Lao Tzu's beard was just using him to establish his authority!
