Xu Mingyang's words made Li Jiancheng feel a trace of fear, and asked with certainty: "Is this really the case?" ”

He was still thinking that the inner courtyard of the Zhang and Wang families was nothing more than that, and if he gave something, he would help with things.

I thought that as long as I was willing to spend money, there was nothing that could not be done through the people of the Zhang and Wang families, but now why did it come out of Xu Mingyang's mouth, and the meaning changed.

Xu Mingyang didn't need to ask Li Jiancheng what he thought about things after sending things, he had already guessed the judgment that came out of the other party's heart.

Shaking his head helplessly again, he said: "Brother Li, what I said is the truth, I can guess that the things you give to the people of the Chamber of Commerce should be worth hundreds of yuan, or even thousands, but right?" ”

Li Jiancheng just nodded.

"Then do you know how much the people who accept your money from the Chamber of Commerce are worth a lot? Let me tell you, there is at least 10,000 yuan, and it is the kind of person who does not have a lot of power, such as the person who collects your money, and will immediately get things done for you, then his net worth is more than 50,000 yuan, only a lot more.

You say they'll care about what you send? There are two more important points, one is that once discovered, not only will they be driven out of the main family and become free, but they may even be directly executed by the family law of the Zhang and Wang families, and they still have relatives, all under the protection of the Zhang and Wang families.

The second is that they have their own pride and glory, and they can become the inner courtyard of the Zhang and Wang families, in their opinion, it is a rented tomb and green smoke, but not everyone can go to the Zhang and Wang families as the inner courtyard, and they are selected at all levels, and they are constantly assessing, which is the only way.

Let me tell you this, the inner courtyard of several men who are with the ladies of the two families today, they are the subordinates of the two families, but they are different from the subordinates of other families, they are much stronger, and they are even stronger than me.

I now say that I am a thorn, I don't care about the affairs of Luzhou, don't say that I don't have any real power now, even if I have, the Zhang and Wang families will not care, even if I have been controlling all the things in Luzhou, I suddenly don't do it.

Then, a few of the male subordinates we saw, any one of them came out, and he could take over the work that I threw in my hands in a very short time, so short that it only took an hour or two, and everything else would not be delayed.

This is the background, but people would rather be the inner courtyard of the Zhang and Wang families than change positions with me, because they can continue to study, and the children in the future will also get a good education, and they actually look down on officials like us who are not outstanding. ”

Xu Mingyang said while drinking hard, as if he wanted to use wine to suppress the stuffiness in his heart, and get drunk to relieve his sorrows.

Li Jiancheng stopped his chopsticks and asked in surprise: "Really, isn't the rumor bad?" ”

"What rumors famously raise a wine glass.

"It means that Datang has two sets of official and military systems, one is in use, and the other is in the Zhang and Wang families, and the original can be replaced at any time, so I am not afraid that the officials will stop doing it collectively, and I am not worried that something will suddenly happen somewhere, and there is no official to top."

Li Jiancheng spoke out the rumors he heard.

"Although it's not all right, it's not far away, if it is said that the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty are all out of action at the same time, Zhang Wang's two families want to support, and they are almost hot, but if they say that sixty percent of the officials don't dare, then Your Majesty will kill people directly, and then Guan Xiaobao and Juan Juan will have manpower to fill the vacant positions and support the administration.

They don't need to arrange the same number of people in each position, some of them can do the work of several people, in fact, there are many idle people in the government.

Because of this, many officials in Datang who know the situation now dare not threaten the imperial court with the fact that they are not doing the things they preside over in the local area, and the same is true in the army.

The only thing I don't know is that if the people who can participate in the court meeting also stop doing it at the same time, whether the people of the Zhang and Wang families will be able to go up, after all, there are still many times when experience is needed, and there has been no such thing, so I learned from it.

You just say, such a person may be bribed by you? People's pride is in their bones, what about me, I want to take some bribes or something, but I don't dare, let alone how much can you give me something worth? I worked honestly for a year, and I didn't get less money.

This is the high salary proposed by Xiaobao and Juan Juan and His Majesty, the official is doing well, when he finishes that position, he will see his role in the local area, how much taxes have been raised, how the local people live, and then they can get a sum of money calculated according to the proportion, which is so much that it is scary to death.

But in the same way, once a mistake is made, and it is done knowingly, the punishment is not bad, and His Majesty just passed out a decree a few days ago, that is, if he intends to use the method of deceiving and destroying the local area to achieve the purpose of raising taxes for the sake of this political achievement, then even if the official is promoted, a few years later, once there is a problem in the original place, the official will also be unlucky.

Don't say it, don't say it, drink, wait until winter, I will leave Luzhou, although Luzhou is good, but I am too aggrieved, and the people don't treat me as an official at all. ”

When Xu Mingyang was drinking, he obviously became more talkative, and the frequency of drinking began to accelerate, as if the wine had no degree.

It's complaining, it's helpless, and it's mixed with a hint of awe.

Li Jiancheng also drank a lot, and he was actually a little confused, so he suddenly thought, don't let Xu Mingyang get drunk, there are still things that haven't been asked, and the current state seems to be just right.

So he also didn't care if Xu Mingyang thought he was dirty, and used his chopsticks to give Xu Mingyang a few dishes, and said: "Eat vegetables, drink slowly, otherwise you won't be able to continue drinking when you get drunk, Brother Xu, do you know that the emperor of your country has come, have you said what is the matter with me?"

I am now in my heart, and it is always difficult to be at peace, worried that the emperor will be angry and send a male army to fight him, and then the people will not be able to make a living. ”

"Eat, you eat, tell you, Your Majesty is not afraid of being angry, what you are afraid of is Juan Juan's anger, Your Majesty is angry, who do you want to fight, you have to discuss with Juan Juan and Xiaobao, the two agreed, naturally they were beaten, if they did not agree, Your Majesty also had to listen to them, after all, they had a bigger plan, and they couldn't be destroyed casually.

Juan Juan is different, if she wants to fight, Xiaobao will find a way to support her, of course, she doesn't want to fight casually.

Are you worried that they will beat you? Don't worry, let me tell you, you can't fight, it's not too important for you there, and if you are really ready to fight, Luzhou will not be what it is now, the grain and grass have not been assembled, what to fight?

In the past, to fight you, you need not only the navy to help transport troops, but also to have an army specially adapted to mountain warfare.

The seedling team is not easy to fight, if you really want to fight you, you have to redeploy troops, there has been no transfer of troops recently, don't look at the various places in Datang to take turns to change guards, that is to prepare to fight more food.

A few days ago, I was guarding the place where the telegram was received, and when I was waiting for the news of His Majesty, I received the matter of gathering 2,000 troops from Duoshi, and my soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are now estimated to have been on departure for a few days, and the next day after getting the news, they must make all the preparations and dispatch.

Think about it, Datang will fight on both sides? If it's really a two-sided battle, it's also a fight xxx, it has nothing to do with you, believe me, especially the wives of the Zhang and Wang families are still waiting in Luzhou to have children, even if Xiaobao and Juan Juan beat you, they won't come over by themselves, killing too much, it's not good.

Plus they also brought Xiaobei and others, who have you seen fighting with children?

Listen to my yes, the order sent back by His Majesty, let you do what you want, don't report that you have a fluke mentality, go back and call the leader of your Nanzhao over, as for the other people of the five edicts, if they don't come, they will wait to be unlucky, drink. ”

Xu Mingyang raised his glass again, and the wine in the cup had spilled uncontrollably, but he still tried hard to send it to his mouth.

Li Jiancheng really didn't know so many things, seeing that Xu Mingyang was drunk like this, he was afraid that he would drink it immediately and couldn't ask about it, so he hurriedly stopped the wine he was about to send into his mouth, and hurried up and asked, "Brother Xu, how do you know so much?" When it comes to the war in the imperial court, they don't avoid you? ”

"Avoid me? What do I do? I didn't betray the interests of Datang, I offended the Zhang and Wang families verbally, but I didn't do anything else, what can I do if I see the intelligence? I can't pass it on either, I want to pass it on, at least by telegraph, right? As soon as I passed the word, I was arrested first.

That...... That's really over, no one can save me, can't save me, you see, I offended them, I admit my mistake, I'm soft, I'll be fine soon, and the meal can be eaten, it's Xiaobei who is a little troublesome, and when they come back, I have to apologize to Xiaobei and them alone.

Children, you have to coax, unlike adults, when you talk in circles or something, but I'm not very afraid, but I always felt that I couldn't get over my face before.

What's more, when I received and received the telegram, I waited there to listen to the news, not deliberately to find out the secret, and I couldn't participate in the decision-making, I didn't know in detail, now I know that Datang wants to eat more, and I know how to fight more.

How can I say that I am also a third-grade official, it is still okay for the third-grade official to participate in the decision-making of the imperial court, it is estimated that I didn't ask, if I asked, ask Your Majesty, ask Xiaobao and Juan Juan, they can also tell me part of the matter.

I'm not stupid, others may be jealous of the person who offends him because of a little personal matter, but the Zhang and Wang families will not kill people, they always give people a chance, just grasp it.

However, if what I do is to harm the Tang Dynasty, they will kill people, they are dedicated to the public, speaking of which, I might as well drink, what are you shaking, drink quickly, don't shake, I am dizzy. ”

Xu Mingyang couldn't open one eye, the other eye was also squinted, and his body kept shaking, but he didn't see the ghost, and it was very difficult to see the ghost with one eye.

"So, I'll listen to you, hurry back?" Li Jiancheng stopped drinking, put down the wine glass and asked again.

"Go back, go back, you must go back, the sooner the better, don't delay, come back tomorrow? I, I'll send you, let's drink, haha, wine among the clouds, okay, drink, drink. ”

Xu Mingyang said as he spoke, and he slipped out under the table.

Li Jiancheng hurriedly helped him up, dragged him to the mat next to him, shouted twice, and what he got was to continue to drink, shook his head helplessly, took a long breath, tidied up his clothes, walked out of the door, and said to the people in the house outside that he was leaving, and said it when Xu Mingyang woke up.

Said that there was no need to send it, and that he would leave immediately today.

In this way, Li Jiancheng left the palace, and as soon as the wind blew, he also became confused, and he gathered his subordinates slowly, and did not care about the order to leave tomorrow and leave immediately today, and changed the situation that his subordinates were not suitable, and threw down all the things that were brought to the Chamber of Commerce to prepare bribes, and asked them to be handed over to the two ladies of Zhang Wang.

So he took the people, prepared what to eat on the road, and left in a hurry.

After Li Jiancheng walked for five days, he also met Li Longji's team on the way, but he didn't have the heart to stop, and when he saw the Tang Emperor again, he directly said hello to the people in the team who came to investigate, and continued to rush home as fast as possible.

A few days have passed, but Li Longji, who has not had enough fun, has decided to go back, playing at the beach in this season, it seems that he always has not enough fun, but he can't continue to delay, there are still 100,000 mountains that have not been visited, and he can go to Luzhou after the seaside, or he is strolling around when he returns.

There are many scenery in the 100,000 mountains, especially the unique animals and plants, which are not as good as coming to the production area in person.

"Xiaobao, come to me, I have something to ask you." On the return trip, Li Longji still likes to sit on the deck at the bow of the ship, blowing the sea breeze and watching the undulating waves.

Today, there was a light rain, he asked people to prop up the shed, sit down, eat Malatang by himself, all seafood, when he was eating, he saw Zhang Xiaobao come out to check various locations, so he beckoned over.

A slightly stronger wind, carrying the rain swept over, Zhang Xiaobao shuddered, rubbed his two arms with his hands, walked to the bottom of the shed, sat opposite Li Longji, picked up a squid scalded by Li Longji, brushed a layer of hot sauce, took a bite, exhaled the hot air, felt comfortable, and looked at Li Longji and waited for him to say something.

Li Longji had no choice but to put two skewers back into the pot, also looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and asked, "Xiaobao, do you say that if you grow up, will you overturn the boat?" ”

Zhang Xiaobao looked at Li Longji in amazement, wondering, why did Li Longji remember to ask this? But he still nodded: "It is said that there is a big one, which can destroy the ship, with our current ship, we can't deal with it at all, but I haven't seen it." ”

"Then you say, can we train more things in the sea like dogs and eagles, such as sharks, for example, raise a few more octopus that we eat now, and use them for naval warfare when the time comes."

Li Longjibi drew a picture and asked excitedly.

"Ugh!" Zhang Xiaobao was choked up, he really couldn't imagine that Li Longji was so prescient.

Continue to nod: "You can raise, but it is best to raise dolphins, dolphins are obedient, but they can't be used to fight conventional naval battles, as soon as Your Majesty said it, I thought of another thing, that is, military dogs, which can bomb important places of the enemy, but unfortunately, the enemy has no tanks, and it's a bit of a pity to use dogs to blow up fortifications."

The day before yesterday, it was said that something had arrived in Luzhou, it was estimated that it was my hand-held tractor, and when I went back, I would let Your Majesty take a look, but it was fun, and it was a feeling to sit on it
