Hearing Zhao Fengling say this, Gao Yue and Pei Jun naturally didn't want to say anything to refute his face, and even at this time, they had to echo and quickly praise him.

Gao Yue even said: "Then Li Xi is just a small nine-grade master book, with Lord Zhao coming forward in person, and just asking him to ask for a woman, how dare he not give face to adults?" From the official's point of view, maybe he can't find a way to give gifts if he wants to! ”

In my heart, I couldn't help but think that although I had never dealt with the current crown prince when I was in Beijing, it is said that the crown prince Li Hong is a very stable person, and he has always been low-key and calm, otherwise he would not have been crowned the crown prince with the son of a daughter who advocates excellence, and he can still sit in this position for so many years under the competition and persecution of many forces. Now that you want to do such a secret thing, how can you send such a second ancestor upside down?

Like Zhao Fengling and others, they fought in Chang'an City, fooling around with those boys and brothers, and it was okay, but was sent out to do such important confidential things...... I'm afraid I can't see enough!

Originally, I thought that although the crown prince Li Hong was not a world-class talent, he was stable and serious, and he had the style of seeking the country through old success, plus he had been sitting in the position of the prince for so many years, and he already had a good reputation among the hundreds of officials in the court and even among the common people.

But for now, we only look at his cronyism...... Thinking of this, Zhao Fengling smiled and chatted with Zhao Fengling about the wind and moon of Chang'an after saying goodbye, but he couldn't help but shake his head in his heart - it was not Allah!

Zhao Fengling came down from Chang'an this time, only brought a housekeeper and a few healthy servants, and now he is also in Gao Yue's house, at this time Gao Yue chatted with him for a while, and saw that the sky was about the same, so he said: "Thanks to Lord Zhao for not giving up, come to Shuzhou to do business, the first thing I thought of visiting my old friend, Gao is really honored, today I have a small banquet at home, Lord Zhao, let's go and talk while drinking?" Master Pei, please accompany you? ”

At this moment, he never mentioned that Zhao Fengling was actually here mainly to ask him for help, only saying that he was a visiting friend, so naturally he didn't want to have anything to do with this matter.

Of course, with his cleverness, it is not difficult to know that a boy like Zhao Fengling, he usually can't think of you at all, and it is okay to suddenly jump out to ask you for help when he needs to use you, it is okay if you don't help, and if you think that you will definitely get his gratitude for helping him, it is also very wrong.

People like them have always only held grudges and not remembered gratitude, and if they mentioned helping him at this time, they might even make him unhappy, so there was no need to make trouble for themselves.

Sure enough, there was no mistake in his words, and Zhao Fengling laughed twice when he heard this, and stood up loudly, but he was not even polite. In fact, where did he think that there was such a character as Gao Yue in Shuzhou, that is, when Gao Yue was serving in Chang'an, these sons and brothers could not afford to look down on an idle official like Gao Yue, and the reason why he was the first to find him after coming over was not his idea.

Especially after discussing the matter just now, seeing that everything is going well, and both Gao Yue and Pei Jun are respectful to themselves, he suddenly became more unscrupulous in his heart, at this time, even Gao Yue, the landlord, is actually not much in his eyes, he just thinks in his heart, what kind of noble gentleman Gao Yue is, it seems that he is also bullshit!

Seeing him stand up at this moment, Pei Jun naturally took the first step to stand up, and respectfully saluted Gao Yue and said: "I can admire the last seat, so the luck of the lower officials, dare not obey the fate?" ”

At this time, Gao Yue smiled and nodded, but Zhao Fengling couldn't help frowning, waved his hand and said: "The most annoying thing for you scholars to open your mouth and shut up is to be the one who cares, and your teeth are sour when you hear it!" ”

As soon as he said this, Pei Jun didn't have anything, that is, he continued to laugh and confess, but Gao Yue's face couldn't help but stagnate, and when Zhao Fengling walked out of the study in front of him, he was standing behind, and his face quickly became gloomy.

Gao Yue doesn't value Zhao Fengling, but the forces he represents behind him are valued by Gao Yue, at least he doesn't dare to offend, so although he doesn't like Zhao Fengling's style in his heart, he is still extremely polite to him.

In addition to setting up a good banquet in the front hall to entertain him, even those subordinates who came with him, Gao Yue did not dare to treat him badly, so he also set up a table of wine in a small pavilion on the side of the hall and invited them to use it for their own use.

It's just that he just sat down here, and before Gao Yue got up to persuade him to drink, he saw that the butler who came with Zhao Fengling came into the front hall, and then whispered in Zhao Fengling's ear.

When he finished speaking, he straightened up, then Zhao Fengling looked embarrassed, frowned, and said, "This, just drink a few cups, you can't miss things, right?" ”

The housekeeper smiled when he heard this, but he lowered his head and said respectfully: "Young master, wouldn't it be better to drink it when the matter is done?" ”

Zhao Fengling turned his head to look at him when he heard this, and saw that he lowered his head as if he didn't dare to look at himself, but the expression at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows was extremely firm, and his face couldn't help shaking a few times at the moment, and he said stupidly: "Okay, then don't drink, don't drink!" ”

When the housekeeper heard this, he bowed down and said, "The young master sees that the old slave has retired." ”

From beginning to end, the housekeeper didn't look at Gao Yue, but Gao Yue had been paying attention, and he found that when the housekeeper spoke, although his attitude was humble, there was not much respect on his face, and although Zhao Fengling put on a posture of a son, in fact, just listening to the conversation between the two could make people clearly feel that he was a little afraid of the housekeeper!

After thinking about it, Gao Yue quickly understood what was going on, and then couldn't help nodding slightly, thinking that this is right, in this way, it can be regarded as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worthy of the evaluation of the old Chengmou country.

Don't look at this Zhao Fengling, as soon as they met, he put on the face of a noble son, who knew that he was just a disguise, the one who was really the leader of the pair of people who left Beijing and went south was not him, but the inconspicuous housekeeper who had always been taciturn!

One bright and one dark, put a domineering disciple in the bright place, so you can also shock yourself, but secretly put an old fox to control freely, this is a bit of a way, but unfortunately their eyesight is still a little worse, when I first entered the door, I couldn't see even a little wrong from this housekeeper!

His expression flew, the thoughts in his heart flashed, and at that moment, Gao Yue smiled, put down the wine glass in his hand, and said: "The old housekeeper is really old and becoming, yes, at this time, things have not been completed, but it is not appropriate to drink, blame Gao, blame Gao!" That's okay, don't drink alcohol, wait until Lord Zhao is successful, and then the official will drink for the adults to celebrate, how about it? ”

Zhao Fengling originally thought that the old housekeeper deliberately ran over to prevent him from drinking, and if he broke his face in front of Gao Yue, he would be unhappy in his heart, and he didn't feel anything different when he heard Gao Yue's words, so he was happy again, he was not ten percent pure, so he found himself under the stairs at this time-

"Yes, Steward Cheng has always been an old man seeking the country, even my father obeys him, haha, he makes sense, how do you say that? Ah, by the way, this official is good...... From the good...... That's right, be kind as flowing, haha, don't drink, don't drink, and what the housekeeper said is right, this official uniform can't be worn out, it must be secret, secret! ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand at Pei Jun for the first time, and said, "Master Pei, let's go to the Li family after dinner later, and when the time comes, it's up to you!" ”

Gao Yue has already seen the things before and after this time, but Pei Jun is not Gao Yue, he is still confused about many things, and he is slightly distracted, so when he eats Zhao Fengling's shout, he suddenly comes back to his senses, and immediately hurriedly says: "Ah, Lord Zhao is polite, the villain dares to disobey the power of dogs and horses!" Uh, go to the soup and go to the fire, don't hesitate! ”

Zhao Fengling smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and said, "Okay! Dinner! ”

*****************************************************************************************

Li Xi came out of the room of the county magistrate Zheng Shuang when it was almost noon, and only then did he know from Li Xian's mouth about Pei Jun's angry departure just now, and if he knew, he would know it, he just smiled and didn't take it seriously.

In this morning's work, he and Zheng Shuang sat in the room and seemed to be chatting in the north and south, but in fact, they gained a lot.

Since the disaster, it has been more than a month, and Jinyuan County has basically determined that the disaster relief has won a complete victory through the two-pronged method of work-for-relief and vegetable food-to-grain two modes, and as the two leading figures of the county government in this disaster relief, Li Xi and Zheng Shuang naturally want to sit down and talk tacitly about the distribution of results.

There is no doubt that Zheng Shuang, whether as the chief official of the county, should have received the largest piece of cake for the success of this disaster relief, or as a firm supporter of the vegetable planting policy, in fact, he supported Li Xi's actions throughout the whole process, and Li Xi would not take credit from him.

With this great achievement, I think that his political achievements and merits will be added to the book.

As the behind-the-scenes leader and front-end performer of this matter from beginning to end, Li Xi received in addition to Zheng Shuang's upcoming invitation to merit, that is, a good credit sheet, he also received many additional preferential conditions that seem inconspicuous at the moment, but are extremely critical to Li Xi.

Although it is impossible to have a clear word, Zheng Shuang privately promised that when the late rice is planted this year, as long as the people themselves are willing, then the county will support him to continue to maintain a vegetable planting area of up to 300,000 mu, so as to ensure a continuous monopoly of the vegetable market in Chengdu, Meizhou and Shuzhou.

You must know that as the chief official of a land, the so-called persuasion of farmers and mulberries is one of their greatest duties, and even the annual grain harvest will be an extremely important part of their performance evaluation, which shows the importance of this cultivated land.

It can be said that if it weren't for Li Xi's previous series of successes, which gave him a lot of confidence, he had reason to believe that Li Xi would continue to succeed. And after a vague but understanding conversation between the two, in fact, there are already his interests in this, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to agree to this condition.

Of course, the achievements of the county magistrate are still needed, so Li Xi promised that he would use the money from growing vegetables to purchase a large amount of grain from nearby prefectures and counties, on the one hand, to ensure that the local grain prices fluctuate within a reasonable range, and on the other hand, it is also convenient for the vast number of vegetable farmers to buy grain in a timely and low price, and pay taxes after completing the grain.

It can be said that even if 300,000 acres of land are taken out to continue to grow vegetables, Li Xi can guarantee that the local tax will not only not decrease, but will rise steadily. And this, naturally, can become another merit of the prefectural magistrate.

In addition, Zheng Shuang also additionally agreed that once there is a large-scale fluctuation in grain prices, then the county government will supply the grain in the warehouse to Jiannan Shaochun Winery at a parity price.

Just a few days ago, Li Xi also had a headache because of the sharp rise in food prices caused by the flood, which caused the cost of Jiannan Burning Spring to soar all the way, so that with Zheng Shuang's promise, the problem of raw material supply of Jiannan Burning Spring almost has a strong backing, and there can be no more problems, Li Xi is naturally very overjoyed.

You must know that no matter what dynasty it is, the brewing industry will become one of the industries that the political axe least supports because of the huge consumption of food, but you can actually get this condition from Zheng Shuang, how can you not be happy?

Of course, in return, after Li Xi thought about it for a while, he quietly expressed Jiannan Yaochun's strong desire to provide Zheng Shuang and Master Zheng with a sum of [Cheap Money] every year. In this regard, Zheng Shuang didn't even push it, so he laughed.

Those who are officials are also short of money!

In this year, the country is called prosperous, and the common people can be said to be unprecedentedly rich, but once people get rich, they will immediately find that they seem to be poorer than before!

Why? When people are poor, that is, they don't feel hungry in winter and spring, but they don't feel anything, but once they get rich......

How much does a house cost? How much does a big house cost? Everyone has a carriage at home, do you buy it or not? Other people's carriages are all good horses sold from the north, do you use them? Mrs. Wang next door has just played a gold-inlaid jade step, and her mother-in-law also wants it, do you give it or not? Lao Wang, who usually eats wine in a place, recently bought a singer, who is twenty-eight years old, that is called a water tender, do you want to have one?

Okay, get the money!

Everyone spent money on these, so the price went up, but the officials' money was formulated by His Majesty Emperor Taizong himself, and it was easy to pass for a hundred years, but the rules remained the same...... Those who are officials are also poor!

…………

The two of them were talking about business for a while, and after one morning, everything was negotiated, and both of them felt that they had gained a lot, so Li Xi proposed that he treat him and go to the small fan building in the city to have a drink.

Zheng Shuang first shirked and said that it was not appropriate to drink alcohol in the afternoon, and in the end, seeing that Li Xi was really enthusiastic, he couldn't push it a little, so he said frankly and whispered, he just bought a few people from Renyazi a few days ago, and one of the female dolls was quite beautiful, especially when she was only fifteen years old this year, it was when the flowers were delicate and tender, she really couldn't help but be moved, although she didn't officially open her face, she had already been combed in the room yesterday, but now she was reluctant to lose her beauty to drink anything with Li Xi.

Li Xi laughed when he heard it, although he felt a little unacceptable in his heart for this kind of tragedy of a strange Shu Huang attacking Xiao Lori, but it is undeniable that in the current Tang Dynasty, this kind of behavior is not rejected by people, and even some literati often make poems for this kind of thing to show off, with a smug attitude, and it has become a good story afterwards! Therefore, in front of Zheng Shuang, he naturally had to smile and congratulate a few times, and said that he must go over to ask for a cup of wine, and then he said goodbye.

met the second uncle Li Jun outside, and the two chatted lightly, Li Shu seemed to have something else to say, but in the end he just said something about Pei Jun, reminded Li Xi to be careful, and then walked away.

Li Xi didn't take it seriously, turned his head and put the matter aside.

When I returned home, it was almost noon, Wu Lan asked if I wanted to set up a meal here, Li Xi thought about it, but said that it was not too late to eat later, then changed his clothes and went straight to the back garden.

Although he finally got his long-cherished wish yesterday, but thinking about it afterwards, it seems that the toss is indeed too much, he is nothing, after being absent for so two or three months, he is almost in the middle of the night, but Yang Huahua is sick and may not be able to hold on, so in fact, he was a little worried last night, and he wanted to go over to see it when he got up in the morning, and he was afraid that he would laugh at Wulan that he was in love, so he went to the county government to deal with some things first, and when he came back, he couldn't help but want to go over there to see.

Since I gave it yesterday, I don't know if the house over there has also ordered it, in short, this time I went over and Li Xi found that the small door was already just hidden. After he smiled and pushed the door in, he drove all the way straight to the back house, and met Ah Jin coming out of the small flower hall with something outside, he stopped and asked, "How is your young lady today?" Are you better? ”

When Ah Jin saw him, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful, but he didn't dare to come out, so he immediately said: "It's okay, since you're here, just go in and take a look." Then he walked away with his head down.

This attitude made Li Xi smell some clear resentment.

At that moment, he ignored the strange gazes of several little maids inside and outside the hall, and walked into the hall by himself, without paying attention to anything, he intuitively felt a strong smell of Chinese medicine coming to his nose.

Obviously, after yesterday's toss, Yang Huahua became even sicker.
