"I've seen Liu Gong." Wang Faxiang bowed his hands from afar and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you old for a few days." ”

"Your kid is a weasel, the old man doesn't have chickens here, what are you doing here." Liu Guojin smiled and scolded, and he was also familiar with Wang Faxiang's informal appearance.

At the beginning, Li Guobin and others saw Liu Guojin and Yao Zongwen for the first time, and they were forced by two old foxes to help them make fake accounts. Now after a few years, not only Liu Guojin is obviously old, but the comparison of strength between the two sides has also undergone earth-shaking changes, otherwise, with Liu Guojin's status, it is difficult to imagine that he would laugh so much with a businessman.

"In a weasel like this, the more the better for the boss." Wang Faxiang laughed and stuffed a gift box to Liu Guojin's henchman behind him.

"The gold watch?" Liu Guojin glanced at it and said with a smile: "I think these two watches are specially given away by you, the pure gold watch body, inlaid with gems, very precious." But ......"

Liu Guojin paused, and he saw the account slip pressed on the watch.

This thing is half of the merchant who kept the account with him, and he could take the silver when he was aligned, Liu Guojin swept his eyes and saw that it was written five thousand taels of votes.

That's a big deal.

Liu Guojin's expression changed slightly, not because of this silver, he is now worth at least 100,000 yuan, just in the past few years, he has earned enough money in the name of recruiting and training Liao soldiers, he doesn't care much about the silver, what he cares about is that what Wang Faxiang is asking for this time must be not small, somehow, this old man is already very jealous of the tall middle-aged man in front of him.

Liu Guojin waved his hand, and Chang Sui knew what he meant, and immediately turned around and withdrew, and closed the door.

After the chief went out, Liu Guojin stared at Wang Faxiang and said, "What's the matter?" ”

Wang Faxiang said with a smile: "It's very simple, I want Liu Gong to take the lead, cooperate with some imperial historians to make trouble in the matter, and attack Li Fan, Xu Dahua and others." ”

"Them?"

Liu Guojin shook his head and smiled: "This thing is not good, they are the backbone of the eunuch party on the road of speech, Xu Dahua is the core figure of the Zhejiang Party now, although the Zhejiang Party is scattered, the people are still there, and the old man is already about to retire, but there is no reason to cause this kind of trouble!" ”

"Liu Gong, please listen, we also plan to give another 20,000 silver, the manpower will be called by Liu Gong, and the expenses will also be taken care of by Liu Gong, as long as the matter is done, these 25,000 silver, as well as a number of clocks, gold watches, and even carriages, will also be used by Liu Gong."

This condition is quite generous, if Liu Guojin does not have the intention of retiring, I am afraid he will already consider agreeing.

But think about it, the eunuch party is now on the momentum, Liu Guojin is not afraid of being dismissed, he himself was thinking about resigning, but thinking about the fate of Zuo Guangdou and others, Liu Guojin is still a little jealous, even if he himself is fine, he will die in the future, and his family may not be able to escape the liquidation, then the gains outweigh the losses, what is the use of Wanguan's family wealth, it is not enough for people to calculate.

"No, no......" Liu Guojin shook his head and said, "This can't be done." ”

"Liu Gong think about it again, I know that Yao Gong has also returned to Beijing, but he is in the middle of everything, and I know that Liu Gong also has some powerful allies."

"Alas, the old man can't say it."

"Well, then retire in the next place, and Liu Gong will think about it again."

Wang Faxiang got up to say goodbye, Liu Guojin pointed to the gift box, and said, "If you have a negative trust, please take the things back." ”

"Guild Liu agreed." Wang Faxiang smiled and saluted, turned around and left.

Liu Guojin's face was cloudy, and only after half a sound did he say angrily: "It's very interesting, a businessman dares to threaten the minister of state!" ”

……

Yao Zongwen returned to Beijing three days ago, and the first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to visit Wei Zhongxian, and the next day he got his wish and successfully met Wei Zhongxian in the private residence of Wei Mansion outside the palace.

Wei Zhongxian was quite satisfied with his performance, under Yao Zongwen's arrangement, Ma Shilong and others mistakenly believed Liu Boqiao's information, and as a result, they hurriedly crossed the river and were ambushed, and their hands and feet were clean before and after. Yao Zongwen arranged for his henchmen and family to guard him, he was in Liaodong for a few years, at least dozens of family members still took it, and arranged for two family members to take Liu Boqi all the way to Yongping Mansion to change his surname and name and settle down, Yao Zongwen returned to Beijing with peace of mind.

It's not that there is no way to kill Liu Sheng, but Liu Boqiang also has a Song Sheng contact in Yaozhou, if he kills Liu Boqiang, in case he has any backhand, it will be a big trouble, it is better to place guards, and see the situation in a few years.

Yao Zongwen handled this matter very beautifully, it was inevitable for Liaoxi to send troops, and Yao Zongwen had no way to influence Sun Chengzong's or Ma Shilong's decision, but he started in the subtleties and found an impossible opportunity to find an impossible opportunity to meet the source left and right, secretly spread the fuzi, and communicate with the inside, so that the Jurchens were prepared in advance, which can be said to be a key point.

Of course, judging from the poor performance of the Ming army's battalion soldiers, even if Yao Zongwen did not send someone to report the news, most of the battles against Yaozhou would not end well, but they would never fall to the point of being ambushed by the Jurchens, and they might eventually fall into a stalemate, and then retreat in embarrassment under the response of the large group of people, but not all 800 people, and then even the deputy general and the general were killed.

However, Yao Zongwen knew that he would not be promoted again in the short term, he returned to the court to give the matter, this is a very important and noble position, in short, although it is only the seventh product in the matter, but the importance of the power position is far more than that of ordinary Jingqing, generally speaking, at the time of the court meeting, can discuss state affairs with the cabinet elders and various ministries, and put forward their own opinions can also be valued, they will have a place in the matter.

This position, at least three or five years, the prestige is sufficient, turn to the temple, and then turn to the squire, and the release is the governor, as if he is the important minister of the country, but even if it is the governor, the right to speak in state affairs is not as good as the matter, this is the so-called ancestral system of the size of the system, a typical example of humility and weight.

Coming out of Wei Zhongxian, Yao Zongwen can be said to be full of ambition, Wei Gelding will be in power for at least ten years, and he will be at least a squire or a governor of a certain place after ten years, and the worst is also the governor of a certain important place.

After visiting Wei Zhongxian, Yao Zongwen began to report in the Six Sections Corridor, and then visited the section chiefs of each section, and then visited the cabinet elders, and the rest of the Shangshu Shilang and the like could come to the door before they could go, and in the evening, Liu Guojin's family sent someone to send a post and invite Yao Zongwen to come to the house for a banquet.

"Old timer Liu is so uninteresting." Yao Zongwen said in his heart: "It's not as good as it was back then, how can I have time to perfunctory him?" ”

But after thinking about it, Liu Guojin is an old fox with white hair, there must be a reason why he sent someone to send a post, it can't be really excited to invite him to dinner, if he doesn't understand this, Liu Guojin will not mix into his current status as a top three jinshi in Beijing.

"Shangfu your master," Yao Zongwen said to Liu's subordinates: "I have here the white fish of the Liaohe River that I just brought over, and I raised it all the way in the water urn, and told him not to bother much, and we will boil the white fish together at night to eat." ”

White fish is a specialty of the Liaohe River, the body is fat and delicious, and the meat thorns are also less, Liu Guojin was born in Liao, of course, he loves this taste the most, Yao Zongwen asked his subordinates to take out a few good wild ginseng from Liaodong, and then made up some Liaodong native products such as smoked venison, and asked Liu's people to bring the fish together.

"Please come over early." The subordinates of the Liu Mansion knelt down to thank the master on behalf of him, and said: "Our lord's expression is a little different from the past, and he seems to be a little flustered. ”

"Oh, I see."

What happened to Liu Guojin was originally not related to Yao Zongwen, but after thinking about it, it is likely that the two of them teamed up to recruit group training in Denglai and Liaodong was exposed.

"Senior Liu is just too greedy." Yao Zongwen couldn't help but complain in his heart.

200,000 taels, Liu Guojin alone fell nearly 100,000, this ratio is of course too high, according to Yao Zongwen's idea that the two of them can fall 100,000 is good, this 200,000 is not good, it is too thin to take out half of the gifts, as a result, Liu Guojin gave a total of less than 50,000 gifts before and after, Yao Zongwen got more than 40,000 yuan, Liu Guojin himself pocketed nearly 100,000, this is a bit too much, if it weren't for Liu Guojin's business contacts for so many years are quite extensive and solid, plus Yao Zongwen's help, I'm afraid these things may not be able to press down.

Not to mention anything else, recruiting 20,000 soldiers only showed up a few thousand, and it was astigmatized in less than a month, and it didn't add up to 20,000 silver expenses...... There is really a royal history to investigate, and these things are very clear when they are checked, and there is no way to deceive them.

Fortunately, whether it is Donglin or the eunuch party, Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin have connections, and Yuan Keli does not want to offend too many people in such matters, which is equivalent to opening his eyes and closing his eyes and letting Liu Guojin pass.

After receiving some visitors at his home, seeing that it was getting dark, someone from Liu's Mansion came to urge him again, and Yao Zongwen didn't ask Liu Guojin to wait for a long time, so he took a carriage and rushed to Liu's Mansion.

Liu Guojin lives in Xicheng, but Yao Zongwen lives in Dongcheng, there are many pedestrians along the way, quite crowded, which makes Yao Zongwen also plan to buy a house in Xicheng, after all, civil officials are either Xicheng, or poor live in Nancheng, and will be an official in Beijing for many years in the future, it seems that it is better to buy a decent mansion.

Liu's mansion is quite prominent, the three-entry courtyard, covering an area of three or four acres, is also a very decent mansion in Beijing, and many ordinary Beijing officials live in a small set of courtyards.

Of course, Yao Zongwen didn't need to wait for the transmission, and walked in with a swagger.
