Chapter 203: Greed
It's just that Su Wen interjected: "General Lin, although my eldest sister is temporarily safe, but my third brother is still being detained in the county government, and the general's coercion on this trip, Yu Detian must be hateful, if it is an negligence, he will find a leak... I'm in a big disaster..."
For this, Lin Xiu turned his head to look at it, although he knew Su Wen well, but Su Wen more or less had the shadow of his original study, so after a short thought, Lin Xiu said: "This matter is worry-free, Yu Detian is the cousin of Yu Hailong, the county government of Lincheng, and I am so bad to him, it is because of deep meaning..."
"Dare to ask the general what he means?"
Su Wen's bluntness made Lin Xiu displeased, Su Manhua saw this and hurriedly told his brother humbly, Rao is Lin Xiu said in a deep voice: "Listen to your sister's words, are you from Wentu?" Entrance exam? ”
"Exactly! It's a pity that the Beiban went south, and the examination system in Beijiang County was banned..."
"That's not a bad thing!" Lin Xiu sighed for a moment, and said: "You are slightly similar to me before, since you are from the literary path, you might as well take advantage of this matter to experience it, if you can, you join my Bei'an Army, be a counselor in the army, and take care of government affairs?" You're the best you can do! ”
Hearing Lin Xiu's favor, Su Manhua was overjoyed: "Second brother, don't thank the general yet..."
But Su Wen was unhappy with Lin Xiu's coercive and vulgar behavior in his heart, so he gave his hand: "If the general protects my Su Mansion this time, he will be determined to be the general's penmanship!" But if Su Mansion is not safe, we will definitely be guilty, and how can we be effective..."
"Hahaha..."Lin Xiu smiled proudly: "Su Wen, you are a good writer, but you are so outspoken, it is me today, if you are someone else, you will be tired of it!" ”
In this regard, Su Wen frowned slightly, although he was angry, he didn't dare to show the slightest, and finally he bowed down and arched his hand: "Everything starts with the general!" ”
In the county government of Shanggu County, Cai Yuancheng, the county magistrate, was playing with a white jade snuffbox, and the counselor Yan Jincai trotted in: "My lord, Bai Baoqi, the official of Caoguan in Mashi, asks to see you!" ”
Hearing this, Cai Yuancheng's fat face suddenly squeezed into a ball, he got up eagerly, and said with a smile: "Ouch, the God of Wealth is here, hurry, please!" ”
In the side pavilion hall, Cao Guan Bai Baoqi was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals, there was a one-foot-square splendid box on the table, about half a cup of tea, Cai Yuancheng came in, Bai Baoqi quickly got up: "Lord Cai is well..."
"Bai Caoguan, you and I are like brothers, no need to be polite!"
Although they saluted each other, Cai Yuancheng's eyes were staring at the brocade box on the table from the moment he came in, and Bai Baoqi seemed to be respectful on his face, but he actually smiled secretly in his heart.
"Lord Cai, two days ago, a horse dealer from Dongzhou had a pack horse die in the horse market, originally to be sold to the butcher shop to make snacks, but found a horse treasure from the horse's belly, the lower official knew that the adult likes to be curious about rare treasures, so he spent a little money and silver, bought it, and gave it to the adult for treasure!"
"Is that so?" Cai Yuancheng was stunned and delighted, Bai Baoqi got up and opened the brocade box, Yu Tiande walked two steps closer, and looked closely, there was a blood-red stone about the size of a palm lying in the brocade box.
"My lord, this is Na Ma Bao! As the saying goes, Ma Bao is as white as a spirit and as red as the sun, and this blood-red Ma Bao is a sun-shaped treasure, meaning peace..."
Cai Yuancheng was obsessed with Ma Bao's strange things, and when he fell in love at first sight, he had already put Bai Baoqi's good words out of his ears, but Bai Baoqi was not impatient, and after Feng Yan finished speaking, he sat aside, and after about a moment of effort, Cai Yuancheng came back to his senses from Ma Bao: "Good thing..."
"Your Excellency's words are wrong!" Bai Baoqi put down the cup and said, making Cai Yuancheng stunned a little.
"The so-called good things, is the winner of the prosperity, love can not put down, is a good thing, if the winner is tasteless, then even if this thing is valuable, it is just a waste of things!"
"Well said! Well said! ”
Bai Baoqi's kind words slapped Cai Yuancheng's buttocks, making him laugh again and again: "Bai Caoguan, you and I have known each other for so many years, and we have a deep friendship, and this time I sent rare things to the official to play with, this affection makes it difficult for the official to bloom..."
At this point, Bai Baoqi took out a paper file from his sleeve, Cai Yuancheng swept his eyes, and knew that this was the approval of the recent animal husbandry tax reform, but he just leaked a trace of confusion: "Bai Caoguan, what does this mean?" ”
"My lord, in the early years, the middle of the year was ordered, the barley tax system and the animal husbandry tax system were reformed together, and our Shanggu County is also a large county for cattle and horse trading in the border of Lincheng, once the animal husbandry tax system is reformed, the horse market transaction will be affected... So I hope that the adults will be kind and give the lower officials a convenience! ”
"Convenient? Tsk..."
Cai Yuancheng was embarrassed: "It's convenient and hard to go... This is the order of the Emperor of Great Xia, there are three pavilions of Zhongshu, Taifu, and military service, and there are three superintendents of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry. It's not that the official can't eat and walks around, but directly eats prison food... Gee. It's hard for the official..."
Hearing this, Bai Baoqi scolded the old bastard for being greedy, but he was under the eaves, relying on the old bastard to collect cashiers, and he could only open the price again.
After a short period of stability, Bai Baoqi said again: "My lord, a few days ago, Xiaguan found a BMW with Qingmu sweat and blood from the horse market, and the purchase price was 10,000 taels, which has now been brought to the adult's mansion. It's a combination of work and rest..."
"Oops... Bai Caoguan, look at you, what are you doing? We are brothers, but it's just an approval, just send someone to the government to seal it, why do you need so many things! After getting so much filial piety from Bai Baoqi, Cai Yuancheng changed his complexion, took the approval with a smile, and Bai Baoqi immediately got up: "Then the official will retire!" ”
Leaving the county government, Bai Baoqi got into his own four-bead curtain carriage, and his personal attendant Bai Butler said: "Master, this Cai pig's appetite is getting bigger and bigger, this time a livestock tax system is implemented, he will ask you for 50,000 taels, and he is not afraid to kill himself..."
Listening to the indignation of his entourage, Bai Baoqi smiled: "A fifty thousand taels, in exchange for the control of the horse market under the implementation of the animal husbandry tax system, this account is not a loss, besides, only if Cai Zhu dares to eat me so much, we will be in charge of the horse market alone!" ”
"That's what the master said!" The white butler smiled: "Master, is the next thing to go back to the house, or to go to the horse market?" ”
"Recently, the horse dealer market has picked up, I have so much blood at once, I have to think of a way to get it back, go, go to the horse market to have a look, and see what money can be collected!"
"Okay, sir, sit tight!" The white butler raised his voice, whipped his horse, and drove to the horse market street outside Shanggu County. In the south of Shanggu County, Xiaoyu Village, Zhao Yuan and others finally arrived here after a night of fast horse galloping, and found a place to settle in the courtyard of the village, Zhao Yuan said to Dong You: "As long as I find Cao Guan of Nama City, ask for his head, and avenge my father, I will spare your life!" ”
