Fang Jinshi took Deng An back to Jinxian Village, and sat in the room in a daze, Deng An cautiously stepped forward and said, "Childe, what Lao Wei said, is it credible?" ”

Fang Jinshi came back to his senses and said, "What do you think? ”

Deng An said: "He doesn't have to lie about this matter, Wang Gui may have known what Qu Laosan had done, but he didn't tell Gongzi, this person is not credible." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info[Read the new domain name., initials, previously registered accounts can still be used]"

Fang Jinshi said: "Then this person is unusable." ”

Deng An said: "It is absolutely unusable, I am also greedy for money, but I will never accept the master's money on the one hand, and do things to help the master's enemies behind my back, this is a great injustice, how can this kind of person be used?" ”

Fang Jinshi sat up straight and said slowly: "Now that we are weak, if we can have one more person, we will have more strength, how can there be many capable and capable humble gentlemen in the world for us?" Besides, there are some things that a humble gentleman can't do, and to do great things, good people need to use them, and bad people have to use them, it depends on how you think about it. ”

Deng An hummed and said, "What Childe said is very true. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I see that when you were a servant in Roufu County, you must have done a lot of unrighteous things, but now you are talking about others." ”

Deng An hurriedly said, "I'...... I've always done my duty, or the third-class officials wouldn't have excluded me. ”

Fang Jinshi made up his mind and said to Deng An: "You go to the account for me and get a hundred yuan of money, and then go to Wang Gui to see me." ”

Deng An turned around and went out to get him some Song money and scattered silver, made up a hundred pieces, put it in a cloth bag, put it on the table in front of him, and then went out to find Wang Gui, and after half an hour, Wang Gui came to him.

Fang Jinshi saw that he was wearing a new set of clothes and shoes today, so he smiled and asked, "Do you have a happy event today?" ”

Wang Gui looked at his clothes and said, "No, it's my cousin who has a store open, I'll just go and take a look." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's also a happy event." ”

Wang Gui said: "It's not your blessing, my brother Wang Diao'er according to the son's instructions to make those Zhancheng rice as grain seeds, and lease them to the villagers, not only to get benefits, but also to win word of mouth, he will make a name for the son when he meets people." ”

Fang Jinshi said: "I almost forgot what I said, you go back and tell him that the grain lent to the township farmers will be given a full catty of two, don't do good things and become notorious." ”

Wang Gui said: "I remember it in the next place, and I'll tell my cousin when I go back." ”

Fang Jinshi nodded, and gave Wang Gui a hundred yuan of money in front of him, but the money was too heavy, and he didn't move it, he said to Wang Gui: "Last time you found Wei Chong for me, I didn't even give you a carriage fee, and now I gave it together with the remuneration, you don't have to be too little." ”

When Wang Gui saw the many copper coins in front of him, he immediately said with a smile on his face: "To serve the son, what more do you need for carriage and horses, I am not too little, but ...... Childe gave a little too much. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's not much, you help me, I should give it." ”

Wang Gui bowed to him and said, "Then I will be disrespectful, thank you for the reward of the son." So saying, he stepped forward and lifted the sack at his feet.

Fang Jinshi said: "You think this is good, if I have something to ask you for help in the future, I will pay you this amount, it is so easy, is it difficult, discuss it again, what do you think?" ”

Wang Gui didn't answer, Fang Jinshi looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak, you must know that there is something else implied in his words, that is, if he doesn't look for Wang Gui to do things in the future, it will be equivalent to sending him away with this hundred yuan of money, Wang Gui is a smart person, you will know it when you hear it.

Wang Gui hesitated for a moment before saying, "How can you use money to do things for your son?" If Childe thinks it's inconvenient for me not to be around, I'll come here every day from tomorrow. ”

Fang Jinshi saw him say this, knowing that he was an understanding person, so he said to him: "I think you also know that in this Four Seas business, I don't have much real power in my hands, but I am also begging for food under others, and I may also let people kick them out at any time, one is that I want to find a few trustworthy friends to help me do things, and second, if I kick someone away, it will also affect others, then I can't help my friends." Go back and think about it and see if it's worth betting on me. ”

Wang Gui said: "The son's words are serious. ”

Fang Jinshi said: "It's not serious, but the truth is so, no matter how you decide, I'm optimistic about the results." ”

Wang Guiwei groaned and said, "Okay, I'll look back and think about Childe's teachings, and I'll reply to Childe the next day." Fang Jinshi nodded silently, Wang Gui picked up the heavy bag and went out.

Deng An saw him leave, walked in and said, "How?" ”

Fang Jinshi said: "If he can see clearly, he knows what he should do, and how he can't understand, such a person doesn't need it." ”

Deng An was confused when he heard this, and paused for a moment before saying: "Childe's speech is getting more and more unfathomable, which makes people incomprehensible." ”

Fang Jinshi smiled, and didn't explain too much to him, he felt more and more that he had a great responsibility, and he couldn't have simple and naïve ideas like before, he gradually understood that only by giving up can he get something, and he must not treat others as fools, although he has King Yun as a backer behind him, but when he really does things, he can only rely on himself.

If you want to do big things, you must have competent people to do it, Fang Jinshi deeply felt that at this time, having your own group of people is more important than getting money, and having someone to support is the most important thing, but just relying on people like Deng Anhu can't do big things.

Fang Jinshi sat for a while, bored, and remembered that Liang Cuirong wrote a letter, Cai You's childhood companion Cai An, a relative of his family, is now serving as the general judge of Pingjiang Mansion, so it is better to visit this person, and many official figures will help him in the future.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinshi asked Deng An to prepare a generous gift, asking people to inquire if this Cai Tong judge was at home today and where his home was, and reported that this Cai Tong judge happened to be at home, Fang Jinshi came to the spirit, called Shi Hao together, and went to Cai An's house.

Shi Hao has been in the team of Jinxian Zhuang since he came to Jinxianzhuang to help, although he is a scholar, but he is not informal, it is rare that he does not take the reader's shelf at all, Fang Jinshi nodded in approval, sometimes visiting the literati and elegant guests, official eunuchs, he likes to take Shi Hao.

Cai Ang lives in the west of the city, the two came to the door of Cai's house, Fang Jinshi asked the door attendant to send a post, not long after, there was a housekeeper to greet him, and brought the two into the side hall to serve tea, saying that today the main hall of Pingjiang Mansion Xiong Governor came to visit, Cai Tongju was accompanying Xiong Governor to talk, let him wait.

This Xiong prefect Fang Jinshi has also heard people say before, this person's surname is Xiong Mingche, transferred from Bianliang, Beijing, and has been the prefect of Pingjiang for two years, he is low-key, and he doesn't like to have too much contact with the dignitaries in the city.

In this case, Fang Jinshi had no choice but to wait, fortunately, the tea in Cai's mansion was good, he sat down and waited for a long time, and he didn't see anyone from the housekeeper come over to tell Cai Tongju when he was free, Fang Jinshi just wanted to ask someone in the mansion to ask, only to hear the sound of children playing at the door, Shi Hao turned his head to look, but saw a black thing coming towards him, hit his forehead, the thing bounced, and fell to the ground.

Fang Jinshi looked down at the falling thing, it turned out to be a bow ball used for jujuing, this time Shi Hao was not light, he covered his forehead and looked at it, there were two boys, one big and one small, there were two boys at the door, these two boys were not small, the big one looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was eleven or twelve years old, both of them were sweaty, and there were a lot of dust and water stains on their clothes.

The two boys hurriedly ran over to grab the ball on the ground, Shi Hao was closer, grabbed it first, and held it high above his head, and the older boy said, "Give me back." ”

Shi Hao said: "You have injured people by playing a play, you have to apologize to others, the use of the courtesy, harmony is precious, this is the gift of the saint." He was hanging the schoolbag to the two children, the little boy suddenly pounced on him, twisted his arms with both hands to grab the ball, Shi Hao dodged and didn't let him grab it, the older boy sneaked behind him, jumped up and slapped his arm, knocking the ball down, and then the boy grabbed the ball on the ground, ran to the door and made a grimace, and went quickly.

Shi Hao couldn't help but be furious, he was also a young man, and grabbed the arm of the slightly older boy who was about to run away with his backhand, and said angrily: "Why is Ruzi so rude? The boy didn't speak, struggling to break free, Shi Hao was older than him, taller than him, the boy couldn't struggle for a long time, and kicked him.

Fang Jinshi really didn't look like it, this is Cai An's mansion, and besides, adults can't be like children, although these two boys really don't look small, he came over and said, "Forget it, forget it, don't mess with him." ”

Shi Hao's anger decreased slightly, and he let go of the boy's hand, who knew that the boy quickly stepped on Shi Hao's foot, and then ran away quickly.

Shi Hao was painful and annoyed, Fang Jinshi hurriedly persuaded beside him, Shi Hao said: "I know that this place is Cai's Mansion, if I meet it in the countryside, I won't ......" He didn't continue, and there was a humane at the door: "If you meet it in the countryside, how about you?" ”

While talking, a few people walked in quickly at the door, and the current one looked to be in his forties, thin and weak, wearing a Confucian shirt, but he did not hide his official authority, followed by a slightly fat man, and then the housekeeper of Caifu.

Shi Hao looked at it, stayed in the local area and didn't dare to speak, Fang Jinshi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Fang Cai is just talking casually, he followed me, if there is anything inappropriate, please forgive me." ”

The thin man looked at Fang Jinshi, and the butler hurriedly stepped forward and said, "He is Fang Jinshi of the Four Seas Firm." ”

This person nodded, and the housekeeper said to Fang Jinshi again: "This is the Xiong Governor's Mansion, and this is the master of the family." ”

Fang Jinshi saluted again: "I've seen the Xiong Governor's Mansion, Cai don't drive." ”

Xiong Che Xiong Governor walked to the chair and sat down, and then said to Fang Jinshi and Shi Hao, who were still bent down to salute: "Excuse me, I know you." ”

Fang Jinshi stepped forward and said, "Governor Xiong knows Xiao Ke? That's really a shame. ”

Xiong Zhifu said: "You have only been in Pingjiang Mansion for a short time, and you have already let the people of Pingjiang Mansion know that you are the son of Fang, I don't know that I am the Pingjiang Governor, how can I not know." He said this very politely, Fang Jinshi was stunned for a moment, he didn't know when and where he had offended this prefect, and he had never seen this person in his impression.

If it was because the two boys were playing, but it wasn't like it, he would never be so childish if he was a big Song Quan who knew the affairs of Pingjiang Mansion.
