Zhang Xin rebelled, and the evidence was conclusive. Guo Ye ordered him to be put in a prison in Shiquan County and kept under strict guard.

However, in order to avoid alarming the snake, his true guilt cannot be disclosed to the public now.

In the end, the explanation for this incident was that Zhang Xin went to Shiquan County in person to put pressure on Li Yifu for the case of Zhang Fu, a servant in the family.

How can this Li County Commander be upright and not afraid of the powerful. He was immediately detained, and impeached him for buying and selling by force to King Chitose of Qin, and conniving at his family's murder.

King Chitose of Qin was extremely wise, and after learning of this, he immediately sent two groups of men. One group went to Shiquan County, and the other group went to Maozhou Fucheng to find out what happened.

The evidence of Zhang Xin's corruption and perversion of the law is simply lice on the bald man's head - it is obvious, how can it withstand investigation?

Within a few days, his cronies, including his son Zhang Boping, were wiped out.

Li Yifu made such a great contribution that he was promoted to the governor of Maozhou by the king of Qin. In less than a month, he completed the gorgeous transformation from the county order to the governor.

As soon as this explanation came out, both Guo Ye and Li Yifu increased their prestige in Maozhou.

Li Yifu is not afraid of the powerful, and the King of Qin is discerning, and they are all first-class good officials, Qing officials! What's more important is that good officials should be rewarded, and corrupt officials should be punished for evil, which is simply too in line with the aesthetics of the broad masses of the people!

Regardless of the wingmen, they all rushed to tell each other and celebrate this event!

Then, the Maozhou Commercial Bank reopened, but it did not have the monopoly rights. On the one hand, the lives of the people in the city were restored to their original state, and on the other hand, the exploitation of the bureaucrats was suddenly reduced a lot, and the world became more prosperous, and the common people became happier.

Especially the wingman, he suddenly found that his income this year may have increased several times, and his thoughts of taking refuge in Yang Sheng's rebellion suddenly disappeared.

To tell the truth, whether it is a bureaucratic or a Han Chinese, the essence is to yearn for peace. can make money to support the family steadily, who wants to risk their lives to rebel?

For a time, Maozhou was governed.

Guo Ye found that in a sense, Zhang Xin did a really good job. Although he took money that he shouldn't have taken, he still did a good job of "educating" his own work, the Maozhou bureaucrats.

Under his organization, these bureaucrats caught musk deer for incense, planted raw hemp and peppercorns, and collected tooth nitre, thus establishing a whole export-oriented economic industrial chain.

If you buy and sell normally, you will be very profitable, and your income will be even better than that of the Han people on the flat land.

If Zhang Xin did not rely on the Maozhou Commercial Bank to make money, but bought and sold fairly, he could at least be called a capable official, and he was the kind of capable official who could be recorded in the history books. It's a pity that he took a wrong step and wiped out his body.

With the good foundation he laid, without any effort from Guo Ye and Li Yifu, they can make the bureaucrats on the mountain live a good life.

Of course, the bureaucrats will not credit Zhang Xin for this credit, but will only be grateful to Guo and Li, and some people even set up immortal tablets for them.

However, there is one person who is not very happy with the situation.

On this day, Guo Ye was sitting in the county office, and suddenly someone came to report, and three bureaucrats asked to see him, one of whom was called Zhou Zhengcheng.

Of course, Guo Ye remembered that when he had a private visit to Weifu, the person who was knocked out by Steward Zhang, and later came to the county government with him to complain, was called Zhou Zhengcheng.

After the case was tried, he went back, and now what are you looking for yourself for? Could it be that he saved a person who climbed the dragon and attached the phoenix?

After answering the invitation, Guo Ye saw Zhou Zhengcheng's brother and sister in the living room, and there was also an older wingman woman.

"Meet Eun Gong!" As soon as they saw Guo Ye, the three of them knelt down together and saluted.

"Get up, don't be polite. Belch...... Who is this? ”

The three of them stood up, and Zhou Zhengcheng introduced: "She is the mother of the villain, thanks to your ingot of gold, my mother has turned the corner." ”

The woman said, "The lives of our family have been saved by our father-in-law. We are here today to thank you for your great kindness. ”

After saying that, the three of them kowtowed again.

Guo Ye easily persuaded them and said, "This matter is just a gesture for Guo someone, and I don't deserve such a big gift from you." ”

He didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, and said, "Apart from this, are there anything else you have to do when you come to me today?" ”

Zhou Zhengcheng stretched out his hand, took out a gold ingot from his sleeve pocket, and said, "I was grateful to you for helping our Zhou family tide over the difficulties. Today we are paying back. ”

"It's rare that you have this heart again."

Guo Yedao: "The ancients were poor and did not receive food from the mouth. Although this ingot of gold is not much to eat, it is not earned by your own hands, so it must be not so safe to spend. Young man, you have the style of an ancient gentleman! Okay, then I'll take it. ”

This is not over, Zhou Zhengcheng opened the burden he carried again, and said: "This is a blue clamp, which is made by the villain himself." It's not worth much though. But thousands of miles to send goose feathers, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and please don't dislike it. ”

The so-called blue clip refers to a special process to dye ordinary fabrics with blue patterns. It's simple to say, but it was very precious in the Tang Dynasty. This is a specialty of Maozhou, and it generally only appears as a tribute, and it is very rare among the people.

Guo Ye was stunned for a moment, and waved his hand again and again: "Good guy, a blue clamp can be sold for ten yuan in Chang'an City, and it is still priceless." It's too expensive for me to take it. ”

Zhou Zhengcheng said: "Ten guan money is in Chang'an, but it is not worth so much in our Shiquan County, that is, about three guan money." ”

"That's a lot. You are an ordinary mountain dweller, how long do you have to save money? I'm not short of money, so why take advantage of you? ”

Zhou Zhengcheng shook his head slightly and said, "You are underestimating me, in fact, Sanguan money is really not a big money for me." ”

Kongkonger was on duty today, standing behind Guo Ye at this time, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be happy.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Zhengcheng asked.

Kongkonger said: "What I laugh at is that you are blowing nonsense, slapping a swollen face and becoming fat." Isn't that a small amount of money? If you are really so rich, how can you make your mother sick and have no money to buy medicine? ”

Zhou Zhengcheng said: "I'm not bragging. Think about it, it's only been two months, and I've returned the gold of Engong. Is this something that ordinary mountain people can do? If I don't have the means to get rich, can I do it? ”

"Then your means of getting rich are ......"

"It's the technique of making the blue clip. I bought a white cloth for the usual money. I made this cloth into a blue jacket and then it can be sold for three dollars, how much profit do you say this is? ”

"With such a generous benefit? Then you ...... before."

"Before, it was because the Maozhou Commercial Bank set the price of the blue jacket to a consistent 200 yuan."

"A piece of cloth earns two hundred wen?"

"Of course not. Excluding the cost of dyes, I can only earn twenty cents per piece of cloth. I work all day long, but I have to feed and clothe. As soon as my mother fell ill, I was helpless. Now that I can buy and sell it freely, I can make a fortune from it. ”

Guo Ye smiled: "I didn't see it, I thought I still saved a potential rich man at the beginning." In that case, then I'll take it. Alas, it's a rare thing to say. Even if I take Qin ...... That, all in all, thank you. ”

"Eun Gong doesn't have to be polite, except for this blue clip. Plus, I have a big gift to offer! ”

"And?"

"Not bad!"

As he spoke, Zhou Zhengcheng took out a cloth bag from his sleeve pocket and opened it, but inside was a few pieces of paper, which were densely covered with fly's heads.

"Eun Gong, please take a look!"

"What is this?"

Zhou Zhengcheng said: "The reason why blue clips are so rare is because only the descendants of my Zhou family know how to make them. I am willing to dedicate this technology to Engong! ”
