Boss Ming originally only wanted a hundred dollars.

But when he saw Shen Chen's panicked appearance, he instantly changed his mind. At this time, if he didn't take the opportunity to blackmail a few more, wouldn't it be too inconsistent with his style of doing things.

So, a figure that was quite satisfactory to him blurted out.

Shen Xi actually wanted to bargain in his heart. A scoundrel like Boss Ming, I'm afraid that 300 Wen is also a random number, as the so-called sky-high asking price to pay back on the spot, I think it is still negotiable.

Unexpectedly, Shen Chen's protection of Shen Tao was so heartfelt that he didn't even want to think about it, so he agreed.

Shen Xi looked at Shen Chen's eyes, and couldn't wait to slap him hard.

The money and things in the family are all in the hands of Shen Chen, no, after agreeing to Boss Ming's request, Shen Chen hurriedly walked into the house, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find three hundred yuan, and walked out of the wing.

"Boss Ming, you have to talk and count."

Seeing that Boss Ming was about to snatch the three hundred yuan in his hand, Shen Chen shrank his hand, avoided the past, and asked fiercely.

Boss Ming smiled: "Sister-in-law, you don't know who I am, I have always spoken and counted." As long as you give me the money, I promise not to trouble Shen Tao's nephew in the future. ”

Shen Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and without thinking about it anymore, he handed over the three hundred yuan to Boss Ming.

Taking advantage of it, Boss Ming stopped pestering, said goodbye to Shen Xi with a smile, and walked straight out of the courtyard.

house. Shen Xi looked at Shen Chen angrily: "You woman with long hair and short knowledge, do you know that he is blackmailing us." ”

"Surnamed Shen, what you did, on the contrary, blamed me. You don't want to think about how much your son will suffer if he is taken away by that guy. ”

With just one sentence, Shen Xi couldn't say anything.

At this time, it can be regarded as a complete loss, before and after Shen Yun, he spent nearly three taels of silver in vain, but no benefit was left behind, which is really important.

An invisible battle, with the county government as the battlefield, there was no gunsmoke, but it was clouded in the hearts of the three people at the same time.

It's just that when the afterglow of the haze has not been erased from my heart, Chengji County ushered in the annual Shangyuan Festival.

In previous years, the Shangyuan Festival was just some fireworks and lanterns. However, this year, in the entire Qinzhou Shilin, there was a sensation because of a special literary meeting in Chengji County.

In the end, Liu Qingming still followed Shen Yun's suggestion, took out part of the money in the treasury, and invited celebrities in Qinzhou Shilin to hold a literary meeting in Songhe Tower, the highest restaurant in Chengji County, on the night of Shangyuan.

At that time, the bottom of the Songhe Tower guesses the lantern riddle, and those who guess the three ways will have a pack of lotus cakes to give. On the second floor, each person can write two poems, let the nine judges collegiate, and the top three will be given 500 yuan.

On the third floor, Liu Qingming invited the head card of several green buildings in Chengji County, and sang all the lyrics, which one was the most applauded, which one was the leader, and you could get a reward of one or two silver.

As for the third floor, it is the world of articles, prose or strategy, but if you dare to show your hand, there will be comments from the great Confucians of Qinzhou. If you are rewarded for hitting the festival, you can get a reward or two.

These people who were appreciated were finally invited to the fourth floor to drink with the prefect Zhang Shi'an, as well as Liu Qingming, the county governor of Chengji, and a group of Confucians.

If these are not enough to attract people, then the last item makes Qinzhou Shizi completely red-eyed.

But all those who are brilliant at the literary meeting, regardless of poetry and songs, can be compiled into a volume and published all over the world.

That's a lot of money.

Published in the world, it is a matter of appearing in the world corporal forest, for many years, there has never been such a literary meeting in Qinzhou.

For a while, the people of Qinzhou had a lot of discussions.

In the Yazhong of Chengji County, Liu Qingming has been smiling happily these days.

"The county lord should be self-respecting, but a mere literary meeting made the county zun so out of shape, which is really a bit too much." Although Jiang Jimin was very happy in his heart, he still kept alerting Liu Qingming so that he could fulfill his responsibilities as a staff member.

Liu Qingming shook his head: "You don't know." In the past two years, I dare not say that I am conscientious and conscientious in my tenure, but I also dare not slack off. However, there are not many comments from the people, and even if there are, they are just a few words that are not painful. ”

Official voice is a big problem.

Sometimes the mouthpiece of the people is not in the hands of the people themselves. It's controlled by those who read. So this situation appeared again, and some magistrates were obviously trying their best, but in the end they still couldn't get a few praises.

On the contrary, those who eat and drink with public funds are not playing something fresh with readers, but they are highly praised.

The most famous is Fan Zhongyan's "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

Is Teng Zijing a good official, but he is not. By rebuilding Yueyang Tower, Teng Zijing secretly didn't know how much wealth he had gathered, but it was because of Fan Zhongyan's lack of information and his importance to him that a "Story of Yueyang Tower" showed his face in front of the corporal of the world.

not only blocked the mouth of the world with a sentence of political communication and a hundred wastes waiting to be revived, but also took advantage of this to serve as the prefect of Suzhou.

Liu Qingming didn't want to do Teng Zijing's part.

However, since there was still some money left in the treasury, and there was no need to collect other taxes from the people, holding a few cultural meetings also made him feel quite comfortable.

"However, there are only a few scholars who benefit from a literary meeting, so why should the county be like this." Jiang Jimin shook his head, and then said: "Next, when it is time for spring planting, the county lord still needs to go down to walk more. ”

"Got it." Regarding Jiang Jimin's tireless reminder, Liu Qingming was quite helpless. But he also knew that it was for his own good, so he didn't get bored much.

However, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not immediately retract because of this.

After talking about this matter, Jiang Jimin mentioned another thing: "Since Shen Yun's idea is very useful now, shouldn't we, we should thank him." If it weren't for this, the relationship between the county and Zhang Shi'an, as well as his reputation in Shilin, would not have been where it is today. ”

"Shen Yun." Liu Qingming muttered Shen Yun's name and gradually fell into deep thought.

Jiang Jimin didn't wake up Liu Qingming immediately, because he knew that at this time, Liu Qingming was actually combing the context in the future, and then positioning Shen Yun accurately, so as to determine the way to make friends with Shen Yun.

After a long time, Liu Qingming raised his head.

"In that case, I'll give him something. I heard that Shen Yun's family is poor, and although he has been valued by the Fan Mansion recently, he has sent a lot of books and money, but his background is shallow, although he is familiar with the scriptures, but he is not very clear about other things. ”

Seeing Jiang Jimin nodded, Liu Qingming smiled: "Then take the set of geographical chronicles in my study and let him copy a set of them." Well, give two taels of silver as payment. ”

The Geographical Chronicle is compiled by the Ministry of Industry in these years. It not only draws the trend map of mountains and rivers in many states and counties, but also records the customs and customs of various places, which can be described as the important things of the Great Song Dynasty.

Liu Qingming was able to get this thing, thanks to his backstage in the court.

With this book, it is equivalent to knowing three major events in the world without leaving home. thought that Liu Qingming would be regarded as a treasure, and among the people around him, only Jiang Jimin was qualified to look at it.

But now that he was actually sent to Shen Yun for copying, wouldn't he value this junior too much?

"Well, isn't it too much?"

Jiang Jimin's mantra is a little too much. For such a character, everything is a matter of weighing the importance and the short-term before he begins.

Liu Qingming has already regarded Shen Yun as an ally who can support each other in his future career. Although Liu Qingming is now only a county commander from the eighth grade, the Liu family in Pengcheng has a lot of allies in the court, and it is possible to step into the phase in the future.

Jiang Jimin's gaze made Liu Qingming smile slightly: "You usually claim to be the first staff member in Qinzhou, is your vision so short-sighted?" You have to know, if nothing else, just because he is a person valued by the Fan family, he will not be bad in the future. ”

"Even if he can't do it, it's a good thing to befriend the Fan family. It must be known that the four brothers of the Fan family, even the one who recently arrived in the capital, were all appointed as Doctor Zanshan at once to inspect the school's middle school torture room. ”

"Besides, according to what you say, this Shen Yun is not the one who will spread the geographical chronicles without authorization."

The repeated words made Jiang Jimin fall into deep thought.

Shen Yun is now a cloth cloth, even if the scientific examination goes well, it will not be until three years later. The Fan family, do you really attach so much importance to him?

After thinking about it for a long time, there was still no answer in my heart. Jiang Jimin also saw it at this time, in fact, this kind of thing, Shen Yun's result is really so important. Liu Qingming is right, in the end, it's just to make friends with the Fan family.

Moreover, after talking with Shen Yun before, I also felt that Shen Yun's knowledge was still much deeper than that of his peers, and he had many insights, even those who have studied for more than 30 years may not be able to have them.

In addition, through some rumors, he was able to accurately judge Liu Qingming's situation, and even made a plan because of this, so that Liu Qingming has the current situation. I have to say that even as an official, Shen Yun is a genius.

Such a person should not be stumbling.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jimin smiled self-deprecatingly and nodded: "I want to boast of being elegant, but now I look like a philistine." The county is like this, it is really broad-minded, and Jiang is ashamed of himself. A few days later, I sent the book to Saddle Castle. ”

When Liu Qingming heard this, he laughed. I finally heard Jiang Jimin say something that bowed his head.
