Li Fei saw that the two were talking happily, as if they were already masters and apprentices. He didn't bother Yaxing, who was talking to the two, and quietly retreated and went back to his room to sleep.

Early the next morning, he got up and began to wash, Ma Kun had already walked in, and said: "The county magistrate instructed that you don't have to go to the county office to meet again, and go directly to Kejing to deal with the unfinished matters of the coal cellar and the iron smelting station." ”

Li Feibai let out an "oh", then washed, and after washing his face, he took a towel to dry his face, and asked, "In such a hurry, has there been any change?" ”

Ma Kun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Yesterday afternoon, Cao Zhiyuan disappeared. He was seen hurrying out of the city in the direction of Kejing. I estimate that the county magistrate is afraid that he will see that the general trend has gone, and he will want to do something about the fish dying and the net is broken, so in order to prevent trouble, so let you go to Kejing to deal with the matter, and put an end to the delusion of the surname Cao. ”

Li Feibai stopped talking, wiped his face and combed his hair, and walked out of the house.

Tang Zilan had already received a few bank guys to wait outside, accompanied by Qin Meng, Wang Yaojian, and Yang Zhen.

Li Feibai laughed and said, "I was about to go to you, but I didn't expect you all to come." He walked straight up to Yang Zhen and asked, "Are those craftsmen settled?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "If you go back to your lordship, you will be settled." ”

Li Feibai said: "Let's go to Kejing first." Go and call them all, and go to Kejing. ”

Yang Zhen arched his hand and said, "Yes!" He turned and walked out. He only learned the news of Li Feibai's return to the city this morning, and hurried to meet him without taking a bite of food, thinking that he was the first one, but he didn't expect to find that Wang Yaojian and Qin Meng were waiting outside when he came.

The three of them stood there and said a few words, and Tang Zilan led a few guys to come. Only then did he know that Li Feibai was going to clean up the two messes in Kejing today.

Zhao Xuefei handled the matter of selling the coal cellar and iron smelting to Li Feibai very high-profile, Yang Zhen was neither deaf nor blind, so he naturally received the news, and immediately went to Li Feibai in a hurry, wanting to give Li Feibai a reminder, so as not to be sold and weigh the silver for others.

In his opinion, Li Feibai wanted to buy a coal cellar and an iron smelting institute, he must have just arrived in the county seat, and he didn't know that the coal cellar and iron smelting institute were a loss-making business, so he fell for Zhao Xuefei and spent 150,000 taels of silver in vain. 150,000 taels is not a small amount, the sooner Li Feibai knows the inside story, the better he can reduce his losses, even if the 75,000 taels paid to Zhao Xuefei will not come back, the 75,000 taels given to the craftsmen and people can no longer be paid, so that the loss of 75,000 taels will be reduced, and he will also make a great contribution.

It's a pity that Li Feibai went to Xiapan Village, but he couldn't find it, so he couldn't inform Li Feibai of the news in time. However, what happened in the next few days made him dumbfounded, and he was secretly glad that he didn't find Li Feibai in the first place, otherwise he would have done something bad with good intentions.

Two days after Zhao Xuefei got 75,000 taels of silver, he deposited the silver in the First Commercial Bank of Daming in an unusually high-profile manner, and made a note in black and white, with a five-year death period and an annual interest of 5,000 taels.

Yang Zhen pondered in his heart, and knew that this was the means of the empty glove white wolf. The silver seemed to be given to Zhao Xuefei, but he poured his hand at Zhao Xuefei and returned to Li Feibai's hands.

According to Zhao Xuefei's qualifications, he should have been promoted to one level or went to the sixth department to be a speech official. Why not, it is not because of the drag of coal cellars and iron smelting. Now, the coal cellar and iron smelting have been transferred to Li Feibai's hands, and Zhao Xuefei has no drag, and Feihuang Tengda is just around the corner.

In order to make Zhao Xuefei fly and Huang Tengda, Li Feibai has to lose 150,000 taels? Never! It seems that Zhao Xuefei and Li Feibai have made a deal behind their backs. Once Zhao Xuefei soars and Huang Tengda, the day he leaves Jiyuan is the opportunity to buy back the coal cellar and iron smelting institute, as for what should the county do if he buys the coal cellar and iron smelting institute back? That's the next county magistrate to have a headache.

Therefore, Li Feibai lost thousands of taels of silver at most. In view of the fact that Zhao Xuefei was in a hurry to buy back the coal cellar and the iron smelting institute, turn the dead period into a current period, the interest rate was lower, and he would pay some liquidated damages or something, and he would not even have to lose thousands of taels, maybe he could earn a few hundred thousand taels of silver!

Tall! Yang Zhen is so big, he has never seen such a clever method. As for what is to be done with the money owed to the craftsmen and the people? That is naturally a drag if it can be delayed, but if it can't be delayed, it will be handed out for thousands of taels of silver, as long as it can be dragged until Zhao Xuefei Fei Huang Tengda, everything will be fine.

Li Feibai can be a friend of the scene, it is not Zhao Xuefei's favor, Zhao Xuefei is promoted, and Li Feibai will also be promoted, so what is the loss of some silver?

He thought he had seen through everything, but Tang Zilan's arrival made him confused. Tang Zilan brought the bank guys and said that he was going to go through the deposit procedures for the craftsmen in the coal cellar and the iron smelting station. Nowadays, the first commercial bank of the Ming Dynasty opened, because of the high interest rate, many people have deposited silver in it, not to the craftsmen but to the craftsmen and the craftsmen a deposit procedure, I think the craftsmen are also willing.

On the surface, the craftsmen and men were not given silver, but in fact, the craftsmen and the craftsmen went to the bank with the deposit slips, and you had to give people cash, which is still a loss of 75,000 taels of silver in vain?

He couldn't figure it out, obviously Zhao Xuefei had already untied the coal cellar and the iron smelting plant! Li Feibai did this, wouldn't he trap himself again? When Zhao Xuefei flies and Huang Tengda, how will Li Feibai get out of the trap.

Yang Zhen was curious, so he planned to go to Kejing to see what was going on. When Li Feibai asked him to bring all the craftsmen to Kejing, he was even more confused, and said secretly: "What are you bringing these craftsmen to Kejing for?" Is it possible to suppress the craftsmen and people who are ready to move in the coal cellars and iron smelting? If there are less than 200 people, how can they be the opponent of more than 1,000 people? If it is really suppressed, it is better to call a dozen or twenty officials to work? ”

Ma Kun watched Yang Zhen leave and said, "I'll take a team of people and horses and go to Kejing with my brothers?" ”

Li Feibai shook his head and said, "I understand Brother Ma's kindness. However, this time I went to Kejing to appease the craftsmen and people, and you went with the officials, but I am afraid that it will be bad. ”

Ma Kun thinks about it too. Those craftsmen and men have been owed money for a long time, and they are all full of anger, and they themselves take the officials to go, and they are afraid that they will provoke a civil uprising. He smiled, "Then I'll wait for good news in the city." After a pause, he said: "I always feel that there is nothing good about going to Kejing with the surname Cao, you should be careful in everything." ”

Li Feibai thought about it and felt that Cao Zhiyuan really couldn't turn over any big waves, even if he could turn over big waves, he would have the means to settle it, and said, "I know." With that, he led the people out of the courtyard. Outside the door were a few horses and a cart, and inside the cart were dozens of sealed wooden crates, all of which contained cash.

When Tang Zilan and his buddies and others got on the horse, he got on the horse, and quickly whipped the horse and said, "Let's go!" They just went out of the north gate of the county, and a group of people came in from the east gate of the county and went straight to the door of the first commercial bank of Daming.
