Of course, Li You is not a person who is overflowing with love, but he suddenly discovered just now that the Chongwenmen Mission Division is of great commercial use. Novel Reading Network.xiaoshuoyd.

What's more, he could see that Lu Yuanguang was quite remarkable, although he had only been in contact with such a quarter of an hour. Let's just say that Ambassador Lu has shown two advantages in the matter of taxation in Chongwenmen, which is stronger than most officials he has seen.

The first advantage is that this Ambassador Lu has a strong executive ability.

Li You has been in officialdom for several years, and his experience is rich enough. As far as he could see, ordinary officials who did not levy enough money and food to pay taxes, and did not want to bear the reputation of tyranny, most of them adopted the attitude of arrears of taxes, and then tried to avoid responsibility by all means.

And if Lu Yuanguang didn't brag out of thin air, at least he showed his work attitude to do his best to complete the tax collection task, and did his best to come up with countermeasures, and he did come up with a way. Even if it's a little exaggerated, it's normal.

The second advantage is ingenuity and the ability to make trade-offs.

In fact, Lu Yuanguang's idea is to randomly select a small number of unlucky people from all the merchants in a legal form and be punished on behalf of all the merchants. Those who are sat together can only consider themselves unlucky, but after all, a small number of those who are unlucky will only rejoice.

For Ambassador Lu himself, the advantage is that he only needs to sacrifice a small part to avoid affecting all traders, so that he can collect all the tax amounts, and he will not be full of complaints and boils. Otherwise, if there is a shortage of supply in Beijing, he will be the scapegoat of the imperial court.

All in all, Li You's biggest judgment is still based on four words - very similar to himself, so he must be a usable talent.

Thinking of this, Lord Li's cold face suddenly melted, and the pleasant ambassador to Lu nodded, pointed to the seat next to him and said, "Sit down and talk back!" ”

In this regard, Lu Yuanguang not only did not feel like a spring breeze, but he was worried in his heart, and only hit the chair with half of his buttocks, and he didn't dare to really sit down. I don't know if I can handle Li Baixian after being reasonable?

He'd heard the rumors. This Li Xianxian's style is strict and resolute, and he never pretends to be a subordinate, and he often protests against the old Shangshu of the Cabinet. is also unpredictable, ruthless and accurate, and is a first-class ghostly and difficult character.

Although Li You rarely took the initiative to woo anyone, he had never seen pork or pig running, so he asked cordially, "Where are you from?" ”

"Xiaguan Zhenjiang people."

Li You stroked his palms and smiled: "It is not far from Xujiang County in Benguan Township, but it is only a hundred miles of water. It turned out to belong to the same vein of Jiangnan. ”

Ambassador Lu is a very smart and alert person. But now I'm confused, and I can't figure out what kind of medicine is sold in Master Li's gourd. Even those temple bosses may not be able to suppress him, how can he be virtuous...

"Where did you come from?" Li You learned the way of the old officialdom in his impression. He asked slowly. seems to have broken the precept again, Li Baixian talks with people in officialdom, and never talks about fame and background. Today, for the first time, I asked someone for the first time.

Ambassador Lu secretly said that Li Baixian was hiding a knife in his smile and wanted to check his heels? replied stubbornly: "Xia Guan is a person from Jinghe's four-year Gengxu imperial examination. ”

Li You stroked his palms and smiled: "It turns out that he and my teacher are raised in the same year, but they are in different provinces!" ”

Lu Yuanguang was speechless, can these eight poles hit the side? Lord Li is also terrible, his eyes have been polished bright enough, but so far he can't see through what Master Li's plan is, and he is worthy of being known for being weird and unpredictable.

"Dare to ask Your Excellency, why did you get promoted during the ministerial election? At that time, it was Xu Ge who was the old heavenly official, and he couldn't say what else there was. ”

In the face of Li You's aimless words, Ambassador Lu was full of worries and thought more and more. I feel overwhelmed. gritted his teeth and showed his hole card, "Xiaguan and the eunuch Duan Gonggong are fellow villagers, and they have had contacts in the past. Thanks to Duan's father-in-law's promotion, he was able to elect an ambassador. ”…,

"Duan Zhien?" Li You was surprised, and his smile stopped abruptly. Of course, such a lack of the ambassador of the Propaganda Division is not something that can be obtained through ordinary means, and he Li You also has a lot of conjectures. didn't expect that Lu Yuanguang's door was directly Duan Zhien, the great companion of the Son of Heaven.

What is the significance of the four words of the Son of Heaven in this dynasty, needless to say, through Duan Zhien's joints, it is equivalent to catching up with the Son of Heaven. People like Lu Yuanguang don't need any reputation. It's okay to have an affordability.

This corner is not easy to dig, it is very difficult. Li You sighed secretly. Feeling bored, he got up and said, "Among the merchants who sat on the confiscated business a few days ago, there was a Xujiang merchant, and the official wants to ask him. You must send him to the Ruler, and there shall be no mistake. ”

Lu Yuanguang responded without hesitation: "There is a life on the mission, and the lower officials will send people immediately!" He also took the initiative to say: "Together with his confiscated goods, they will be handed over to the superior for verification!" ”

Li You sighed again, this person was really suitable, so he waved his hand and said, "You don't have to send it, just let it go." ”

After sending off Master Li, Lu Yuanguang reflected on his words and deeds, but he felt a little remorseful, it seems a little inappropriate today!

Thinking about the young age of Master Li, I am afraid that the most important thing is face. He came with a picky mentality of asking about his faults, but he behaved too well, which might make Master Li feel that he was deliberately targeting him, but he could only do nothing, so that he had to feel aggrieved without face.

This is not beautiful, it is better to deliberately make some small mistakes, and let Lord Li be held accountable without pain, so that Lord Li may be more happy.

Ambassador Lu also remembered that in the future, if there were rumors that Master Li had returned from the Xuanjiao Division, and he was helpless to take a small nine products, then his big trouble would come! Lord Li, who refused to give up, was definitely not something he could resist.

No way! Make amends! Lu Yuanguang made up his mind to go and ask Master Li tomorrow to nip the potential danger in the bud.

Without mentioning Ambassador Lu's deep reflection, Li You returned to the government office, and Han Shenpo was still waiting for news. Li You said to her: "This official has been to the Propaganda Division, and he has ordered the ambassador to release him, so you can go back to the guild hall!" On behalf of the officer, he greeted several of the wardens of the association. ”

Han's smile opened, thanked him a thousand times, and hurried back to the hall to greet her husband.

It was evening again, Li You finished the business at hand and was about to go home, but saw Mr. Zhu Fanghe from the Ministry of Rites visiting.

The Ministry of Rites and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies face each other across the Imperial Road and the Daming Gate, and Li You's General Procuratorate Office is located behind the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, which is very close, so it is very convenient for Zhu Bulang to come and visit the door. Just bypass the Daming Gate and walk a few steps along Xijiang Rice Lane.

Li You got up and arched his hand and said: "Recently, there is such a grand event as the Winter Solstice Dynasty, and the Ministry of Rites has a great responsibility, and Mr. Fanghe still has time to come to me?" ”

"Brother is tight. So I invite you to go to the Honji alley for a drink! Zhu Fanghe said directly.

The alley of the Division, the location of the Teaching Workshop Division is also... Li Youqi said: "If you are short of money, what are you going to do in the gold cave?" ”

"It's because I'm tight on money that I invited you to go with me, and I probably don't have to spend money with you, maybe they'll have to post it upside down." Zhu Bulang replied.

Li You laughed, "You are also famous as a master of Beijing, so you can go by yourself." You don't have to pull me. ”

Zhu Fanghe sighed: "My old Zhu Huang can only be exempted by half. Only you can go and be exempt. It's been a long time since I've heard Jiangnan Yu's exquisite piano music, and I feel itchy when I think about it today. I heard that she sells your face very much, and even this flower name is from your poems. Then I will hear it once in vain by your light. ”

When Li You entered Beijing for the first time two years ago, Jiangnan Qiyan was a bright and noisy Beijing teacher, and Yu Linglong was the first of them. I also wanted to serve myself. She can sing good songs, and she was the crown of the capital for a while, but she didn't expect that she was still there after two years. ..., although Li You deliberately suppressed his entertainment activities in the Huanchang after he became an official, but this time in the end, Lord Li couldn't refuse, and was dragged by Zhu Bulang to the alley of the company to drink flower wine.

When they arrived in the courtyard, the two entered the room and sat down in the warm pavilion, and the old bustard came to greet them. Zhu Fanghe named: "I agreed before." Can Miss Jade Linglong be idle? ”

The old bustard said, "Ah, that's a pity. She was ransomed and was waiting to be married in the house, so it was difficult for her to come out to pick up guests. Please also forgive me. ”

Zhu Bulang looked regretful, "I heard the rumors, so I wanted to come to enjoy the last song, but I didn't think it was too late." I don't want to be a big hit. Pity! Pity! ”

Without waiting for Li You to speak, Zhu Fanghe pointed at him again and said, "This is Suzhou Li Tanhua!" I don't know if I can invite Miss Yu Linglong to come out and present a song? ”

The old bustard's eyes flashed brightly, and he turned around and lifted the curtain to go out, and shouted, "You have to get it!" Mr. Li stays less, and the old body will come! ”

"It's still your signboard that works. You can't go wrong with please. Zhu Fanghe glanced at Li You proudly.

It didn't take long for the curtain to shake. From the outside, she walked into the twenty-nine beauties. Li You looked at it, it was Yu Linglong. I haven't seen him for two years, but he is still charming, graceful, and glamorous.

Yu Linglong held the qin, bowed slightly to the two, and glanced at Li You a few times. After that, without saying a word, he lowered his head and began to play with the sound of the piano, without the enthusiasm of the prostitute Zhang Shuli.

After debugging, she asked softly, "What does the master want to hear?" ”

Zhu Bulang nodded and said, "Tonight is specially for the girl's skills, but please feel free." ”

Yu Linglong sat behind the piano and closed her eyes for a moment. Immediately, the hands were delicate, the piano sounded, and after playing for a while, he gradually entered the situation and began to sing the lyrics again. With a mouth, his voice is lingering and compassionate, penetrating people's hearts.

"The hometown sound of the homeland is unexpectedly clear, and the floating leaf wandering drama is pitiful. Leaning on the Fang Shu Qi Wangdi, the old strings of the spring are wasted. Red beans don't think about the fun night, and the brocade is entangled in the memory of the grace year. Jun He counted the affairs of Liang Garden, and the gold dust in the old days was like smoke. ”

Singing and singing, tears rippled, falling on the strings drop by drop.

Li You was surprised, this poem was written when she refused to serve, but she didn't expect it to be made into a song by her. However, it is not surprising that the words of this poem have a beautiful rhyme, which is also suitable for singing.

Mr. Fanghe was immersed in this sad and mournful when he heard this, and it took a long time to wake up and sigh: "I have never heard of it, who wrote this poem?" ”

Li You said in a low voice: "I wrote it to her two years ago. ”

Zhu Fanghe suddenly commented subconsciously: "Sure enough, you wrote it, but it has not been circulated before." Jin tangles and remembers the year of Feng'en, how ruthless! It is similar to Bai Lotian's pipa. ”

However, Zhu Fanghe soon felt that this was not the time to evaluate poetry. The jade Linglong girl sang this poem to Li You with resentment before Congliang, and her tears in her eyes, this is the focus...

Yu Linglong gently wiped her tears, walked to the two of them, bowed to Yingying, and said to Li You: "Four years ago, the concubine fell into the dust for the first time, and met Mr. Li on the Xujiang flower boat.

Two years ago, the concubine was resold and drifted to Beijing. Soon, I heard that Mr. Li also arrived in Beijing, and secretly thought that fate was coming, but Mr. Li turned him away, and gave him a song "The old gold dust is like smoke".

Recently, some people have redeemed each other, and the slave family has only been locked in the deep courtyard since then, and there will be no time to meet. I don't want to see Mr. Li again today, but I can actually play the piano and sing as a farewell, which is also a blessing for the slave family, but I hate that there is no fate in this life.

Mr. Li probably only said in his heart that I was acting on the spot, but the concubine was willing to make it clear here: Although the slave family is a dusty woman, she has no intention of acting on Mr. Li in the past. Even if we don't see each other again in the future, I hope that Mr. Li will not equate his concubine with other sisters in his heart. ..., the beauty is affectionate, Li You can only sigh, and solemnly hug his fist at Yu Linglong, as if he promised something.

Zhu Fanghe looked at the two people in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head and groaned: "It's not that you cherish yourself in front of the bottle, and it is inevitable that the pretense will come true." I once whipped a famous horse because of drunkenness, for fear that I would be tired of beauties... This is the case. ”

Yu Linglong's tears flowed uncontrollably, washed off her makeup, and said: "I haven't heard anyone in the line who has won Mr. Li's two poems, and it is already a blessing for the concubine to have two, and I beg Mr. Li to give a parting word tonight to comfort the rest of my life." ”

Li You said to Zhu Fanghe: "You are good at calligraphy, I say, you write." There was paper and pen in the room, and Zhu Fanghe picked up the pen and waited.

Li You recited: "After reading the bitterness of parting from the end of the world, I don't return, and the flowers are as promised." The bottom of the flowers looked at each other without a word, and the green window spring and the sky were silent. To tell the acacia lamp, a wisp of new love, a thousand wisps of old hatred. The most important thing is that the world can't stay, and Zhu Yan is a flowery tree. ”

Zhu Yan resigned to the mirror, Yu Linglong pinched the scroll of poetry with trembling hands, full of nostalgia and didn't know where to start, choked up and said goodbye to Li You, turned around ruthlessly but looked back frequently, until he disappeared into the distant lights.

Li You and Zhu Fanghe stood under the corridor, watching Yu Linglong go away, Zhu Fanghe sighed: "Don't you keep her?" You have to do it in a way. ”

"There's no place to live at home," Li You replied in a misty manner. Zhu Fanghe still sighed with emotion, only this true love is the most touching in the world.

A few people walked out of the moon gate next to them, passing by here, staggering, and it seemed that they had drunk a lot. In the middle, a drunk man rushed out for some reason and came straight to Li You, but was blocked by Han Zong.

The drunk shouted through the person: "Li Dianshi, do you still recognize me!" You haven't changed at all! ”

Li Dianshi... This long-lost title made Master Li feel like he had returned to four years ago in a trance, and he was indeed familiar with the drunk. But I saw Mrs. Han today, and I quickly remembered that it was Mrs. Han's husband Dai Miaozhu. It should have just been released, so it's here to fool around?

"Li Dianshi! You don't lack women, please stay away from my lady! Dai Miaozhu shouted drunkenly.

Zhu Fanghe came back to his senses from Yu Linglong's bitterness, and looked at Li You with a strange face: "No wonder, no wonder... It turns out that the taste has changed, which is not good... A good family is about honor..."

Li You was furious, and instructed left and right: "Let him sober up!" ”
