And at this time, Fenzhou, north of Binh Duong Province.

The soldiers are far away, and the coach is happy in the city.

Zhang Zongheng is very happy, there is good wine, good meat, and beautiful women in his arms, and the most important thing is that the fortune boy is here again today.

The son of the governor of Xuanda is very comfortable, because there is enough oil and water for his children and grandchildren to eat for several lifetimes.

Jin merchants collaborated with the enemy, and if Zhang Zongheng, the governor of Xuanda, dared to say it clearly, even he would be red-eyed.

But collaborating with the enemy is collaborating with the enemy, and people send a mountain of gold from time to time, Zhang Zongheng himself thinks that a few truckloads of grain cannot be regarded as collaborating with the enemy, as for whether it is food, Zhang Zongheng doesn't want to care and doesn't want to know.

Tonight's Fenzhou City seems to be particularly joyful.

After a banquet, Zhang Zongheng reluctantly left the Oiran of the largest green building in the city and returned to the mansion.

So money is important.

However, when Zhang Zongheng was in charge of the governor of Xuanda a few years ago, he also wanted to make a career, make a name for himself and leave a name in history, but unfortunately people are not sitting on the throne with their butts, and the seat must be their own.

Zhang Zongheng was the governor of Xuanda, and the governor of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi military affairs and money and grain.

The power is not small, and the official position is also high, so it should have done something.

But the so-called work, in addition to doing things yourself, you also have to obey orders.

After Zhang Zongheng became governor, he found that there was an embarrassing person who made his position very embarrassing.

That is Xu Dingchen, the governor of the three towns, this person's official position is not as big as his own, but the other party's position is just stuck in his throat, it should have been his prime minister's salary, but the problem is that Zhang Zongheng is not the first governor of Xuanda accumulated over the years, but there are many old-timers before him, these seniors are all middle-of-the-road people in Zhang Zongheng's opinion, and they don't use the power in their own hands, but directly delegate the power of the prime minister's salary to the governor.

So according to the old practice, he Xu Dingchen did take care of the food and salary, but the right was that of the governor Xu Dingchen, because it was like this before.

Guarding the three sides, money and food are needed, the imperial court's finances are tight, Zhang Zongheng wants to make a difference, so he naturally has to make up his mind about money and food.

But don't be embarrassed, Xu Dingchen doesn't allow it.

Since Xu Dingchen joined the team with him, it is really contradictory everywhere, and even if he wants to go to the toilet, he has the heart to grab it.

Zhang Zongheng really has a hard time.

What should I do if the governor actually robs the grain, but the governor is disobedient? He was not his own son, he was disobedient, took off his pants and beat him hard.

Once the money and grain in Sanbian and Shanxi are collected, Xu Dingchen will inevitably be directly transported back to the household department in Beijing.

I didn't even say hello.

Zhang Zongheng couldn't, so he could only report to the imperial court and beg his grandfather to tell his grandmother for money.

As a result, he broke up with the household department, and the high-ranking Emperor Chongzhen naturally would not give him the master, because Chongzhen also needed to go forward, and the whole country was reaching out for money everywhere.

So Zhang Zongheng was dead hearted and his heart was cold.

With such a subordinate, Zhang Zongheng understands the final consequences very well, because not long ago, an official in Daming made a model for him.

That is Yang He, Yang He is the main caress of Yang He, but Hong Chengchou only suppresses it.

So Yang He was imprisoned, and Hong Chengchou was the governor of the three sides.

Yang He is in front, how can Zhang Zongheng not be disheartened?

How did he not know that this imperial court, the Beijing Movement, the People's Movement, the collection of grain and taxes, and in the end there was still no money.

What about money? It's not that the Manchu Dynasty is greedy for ink.

Zhang Zongheng, who was discouraged, then embarked on another path, that is, since there is money and there is no money to be greedy, then Lao Tzu is also greedy, anyway, these three sides are not his own, Lao Tzu is only greedy for money, and he is much more greedy than all of you.

As a result, the Jin merchants were better, and the court was sad.

Zhang Zongheng is very greedy, he is not greedy for money from three sides, and the money will naturally be sent to the door to make him greedy.

For example, today, the three chief stewards of the Fan family, the Wang family, and the Huang family carried the silver from Yanghe to Fenzhou and came to the door in person to pay respects.

Zhang Zongheng is very happy!

Jin Shang is his fortune boy.

Xu Dingchen loves to take power and let him go, and he Zhang Zongheng only needs money.

Fenzhou City, the government office, the back hall.

Zhang Zongheng's thumb kept touching a jasper wrench on his finger, and looked down at a scroll of calligraphy and paintings.

With joy on his face and a constant sigh of wonder in his mouth.

"I can see the true landscape of Fan Kuan's family, Zhang has no regrets in this life, no regrets in this life!" In the excitement, the corners of the eyes were moist.

"My lord, how is this painting?" Fan Yongsheng stepped forward and asked flatteringly.

"This painting can be worth three sides!" Zhang Zongheng's eyes never leave the painting, and he can't put it down.

The three people below glanced at each other, and they all smiled, today's thing is done.

Fan Kuan is one of the three famous artists of the Song Dynasty, and later generations of painters were influenced by it, and they can get a pair of Fan Kuan's calligraphy and paintings, which is indeed hard to change!

"Your Excellency has come today to ask for something!" Fan Yongsheng said in a low voice.

Zhang Zongheng carefully put away the calligraphy and paintings, then slowly put them on the table, pushed the teacup far away, and then looked up at the three of them: "What's the matter?" ”

"I don't know, since last year, the Tang thieves in Pingyang have strictly investigated the official road, almost blocked the business road, all the goods contained in the eight houses in my north, all of them were seized, so that I had to detour to the Beijing division, the road is far away, not to mention, there are too many passes, and it costs a lot to do a lot, and there are many people who need to be filial piety, and my eight families in the north are really miserable, and it is difficult to insist on it!"

"These things are small things, but this year, without the filial piety of adults, it is a big thing."

When Zhang Zongheng heard this, he immediately frowned!

Although Tang Xidong has now been recruited, the Ming Dynasty still calls Tang a thief behind his back, and his words are mostly disdainful.

Zhang Zongheng felt very embarrassed in his heart, because he had nothing to do with Tang Xidong in Pingyang, and even the Ming Dynasty couldn't do anything, what could he Zhang Zongheng do.

"The Tang thief is so powerful that even the saint has to rely on it now to help eliminate the anti-thief, what can he do now?"

After Zhang Zongheng was silent, he sighed.

The three of them looked at each other again, and then Fan Yongsheng stepped forward again, approached Zhang Zongheng, and said in a low voice: "Coming here today, it's not that it's difficult for adults, but to ask adults to make it convenient?" ”

Zhang Zongheng looked at Fan Yongsheng suspiciously.

"The caravan is difficult to travel, not only affecting the adults and my eight families in the north, but the most uncomfortable thing is over there, since last year into winter, the weather is very cold, because Pingyang is closed to the road, food and cloth can not be transported out for a while, and many people are starving to death and freezing to death over there."

"My lord, think who's in a hurry?"

Zhang Zongheng is still puzzled, what does this have to do with him?

"The adults, the little ones and others came today because they were entrusted by the other party, hoping to take advantage of the three sides of the road to go to Pingyang."

Zhang Zongheng was stunned for a moment, and then glared angrily.

slapped directly on the chair: "Bold, dare to propose such a big rebellion, is it possible that you are ready to betray the country and join the enemy?" ”

Fan Yongsheng and the three of them were so frightened that they instantly knelt on the ground.

After a long time, waiting for Zhang Zongheng's anger to fade a little, Fan Yongsheng boldly said: "My lord, my eight family members are born as Ming people, and death is a Ming ghost, I really don't dare to give birth to the slightest disobedience!" ”

"It's just that the other side is very tough, threatening that if it is not convenient, they will attack the three sides, all the way to Pingyang, and I and other little people really can't make up their minds, so they came to inform the adults."

The other two nodded their heads.

Zhang Zongheng frowned and kept thinking.

"My lord, the other party's combat power, no one in the entire Ming Dynasty can stop it, let the other party in, there is nothing to do on the three sides, and the other party promises not to plunder in Shanxi, if you don't agree, the other party will also come in, and then it will not only be a disaster on the three sides and Shanxi, but also a disaster north of the entire Yellow River!"

Zhang Zongheng tightened his brows, his eyes showing distress!
