Claiming to listen to the decree is actually to read the decree equivalent to the letter of appointment aloud in front of everyone in front of the government office. After Hu Weizhi shouted long live, knelt down and bowed to the ground, he held the holy decree with a serious face, looked at it with a serious face, and respectfully returned it to Yang Zhi.

Hu Weizhi sang like this, in fact, it was of great benefit to Yang Zhi. It is tantamount to announcing to Jinan Mansion and even the whole of Shandong that the new Customs Governor Yang is here! This kind of publicity effect is exactly what Yang Zhi needs. originally thought that Hu Weizhi would be a difficult character, but this was not only an active cooperation, but also a blatant overture.

In any case, Yang Zhi is not here to find fault today. Let's hope it's that simple!

The official ceremony was arranged so solemnly and lively, Yang Zhi could have achieved his goal without entering the door. However, the play has already started, and it must be done professionally.

No matter how rare something is, if it is used frequently as a panacea, it will definitely be very effective. Since people are buying the holy decree, of course, there is no need to sacrifice the royal gold medal in one move. Although the official ceremony was grand and lively, the process of the meeting was extremely refreshing.

Hu Weizhi welcomed Yang Zhi into the mansion and served tea again. When the two sides met for the first time, there was no interest in the past, and the atmosphere was naturally harmonious and relaxed. Yang Zhi only talked a few nonsense words such as "the weather is very good", and Hu Weizhi introduced the topic to the topic: Since the governor is on official business, as long as it is a ministry in the emperor's will, the lower officials should do their best to flatter.

Hu Weizhi's statement seems to be nothing unusual, but he bites the words "the emperor's will" and "ministry within the ministry" very hard. Yang Zhi was thoughtful, and immediately tasted two meanings from it: First, the emperor had a secret decree in advance. informed Hu Weizhi of the purpose of his trip. The second is that Hu Weizhi intends to draw a clear line with him as early as possible, and you will be your governor. I am my prefect, and everyone's well water does not interfere with river water.

Although Yang Zhi promised the emperor. It did not interfere in the local military and civil affairs, but the verbal agreement with the emperor was only a general gentleman's covenant. The establishment of government officials and the collection of commercial taxes, which one can be out of the scope of military affairs and civil affairs?

He understands what Hu Weizhi means, but he must not let go of his agreement, nor should he flatly refuse. After a few snorts, he smiled vaguely. One wishes you would leave early, and the other has no intention of staying for a long time, and the tea cup is still hot and scattered.

It was early autumn and the weather was still hot. Hu Weizhi sent Yang Zhi away. As if he had been amnestied, he returned to the back office, and there was no dry veil on his body. While shaking the paper fan for him, the confidant master said: "Dong Weng, today is enough to give Yang Zhi face, and he doesn't seem to have any malice when he comes this time. ”

Hu Weizhi didn't know that Yang Zhi almost didn't break into a rage, shook his head and said: "Yang Zhi is not public, he went to work in Weifu, and took the initiative to deliver the post when he came to the mansion." It should be said that he gave enough face to the house. Today's emperor and saint know that people are good at their duties, and they hold the power of cutting first and then playing the three important ministers, how can they be lightly awarded? This man is an all-round talent in humanities and martial arts, and his fame is shocking all over the world. It's not a fluke, it's definitely not a mad dog that bites people when they see them. He has nothing to do with this government, so how can he be malicious? ”

The master asked, "That being the case." How does Dong Weng plan to deal with it in the future? ”

Hu Weizhi sighed: "The government has made its attitude clear to Yang Zhi today, and I hope that in the future, everyone will be safe and do their own thing." also euphemistically pointed to the emperor's secret decree mentioning that he had made an agreement with him in three chapters. Yang Zhi won't be unable to hear it. I heard that this person was bold and acted without taboos. The government can only do its best to uphold the holy will. Neither hinder him nor let him be willful. Rao is like this, he only needs to show the royal gold medal, and everything will be empty talk. When dealing with him in the future, I'm afraid I can only see tricks. ”

The master advised: "Dong Weng doesn't need to worry too much. Yang Zhiruo is really bent on boiling oil on the merchants of the foreign domain and the wealthy merchants of Great Xia, which is a good thing for Dong Weng and Jinan Mansion. ”

Hu Weizhi agreed: "It is true. Every time Yang Zhi scrapes an extra tael of silver on them, the small people may get a little less. If the government can get a piece of the pie, it will be more generous to do things for the people. This is also an important reason why the government is unwilling to offend Yang Zhi for no reason. ”

"Those pedantic literati do not understand the national economy and people's livelihood, and they only say that Yang Zhi is a minister who is fortunate to enter and gather. How easy is it to defend one side for the officials and shepherds and truly benefit the people? Empty talk is spitting and practical work is helpless, are there still few such people? The emperor commented in the secret decree that Yang Zhi not only had a long-sleeved talent and was good at dancing, but also took on a lot of infamy from the emperor. It can really be described as a sacred heart candle and a nail on the head! ”

In the secret discussion between Hu Weizhi and his confidant master, there was not a single mention of Yang Zhi's private interests in Shandong. The former prefect Li Zikuan is a member of the queen's family, and he has already entered Beijing and been promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department, is his background and ability worse than that of Hu Weizhi? If Li Zikuan's approach is to ignore it, Hu Weizhi is very simply turning a blind eye. Even the current emperor, who is known as a generation of heroes, is helpless, if you are a little prefect who tries to get involved, you can only say that you have lived too long!

The emperor explicitly ordered Yang Zhi, the customs governor, to establish an office in Jinling, and did not say that he would not allow the establishment of a customs branch office in Shandong. According to Yang Zhi's established idea, two branches were set up in Jinan and Penglai. Due to the rapid expansion of the territory of Bactria in the past ten years, the post of governor has not yet been established according to the provincial-level region in accordance with the old practice of the previous dynasty, and the local officials at the prefecture level are directly appointed by the imperial court. Jinan and Penglai are both Hu Weizhi's land, so they should say hello in advance.

The next day, Yang Zhi dictated, Ma Zhou ghostwrote, and then personally signed the name of the temporary official letter, ordering Ma Zhou to send it to the prefect's yamen to inform Hu Weizhi of the matter. Su Ziming, the semicolon shopkeeper, had the experience of being an official in Beiyan, and Yang Zhi intentionally ordered him to abandon business and join the office, and was responsible for preparing for the establishment of the Jinan branch. went to the semicolon again in person, and had a long talk with Su Ziming for almost two days.

In Yang Zhi's memory, the empires of the Chinese Dynasty, which were truly similar to the modern customs functions and regulations of the previous life, should have originated from the Song Dynasty's Municipal Bureau. In times of turmoil, all countries were divided from the former feudal towns to establish themselves, and there were many precedents for heavy taxation of foreign feudal merchants and foreign trade magnates. As far as the current situation of Great Xia is concerned, most of the prefectures and counties go their own way, and the collection of commercial taxes is not only blurred, but also has different standards. It is absolutely necessary to explain to Su Ziming in detail the functions of customs and tax collection.

Not only Penglai, but also the establishment of branches in various places in the future will face the same problem. It was Yang Zhi's extreme patience that not only ordered Su Ziming to take notes on the spot, but also clearly informed that it must be digested and integrated into a document as soon as possible, and then handed over to Yang Zhi for review and final printing, and then issued by the Governor of Customs' Yamen to various places to introduce it as a precedent.

Writing books and words to spread to the world and even go down in history is a grand wish that countless readers cannot achieve with their lifelong energy. Compared with becoming an official, its significance is not at all on one level. Having both overnight, Su Ziming's mood is indescribable.

Yang Zhi's whereabouts after that are uncertain, as long as there is a Qin semicolon, he will be able to try to contact Yang Zhi, which is not a problem for Su Ziming at all.

After everything was done, he stayed in Jinan for three days. Jinan is still nearly a thousand miles away from Penglai, Yang Zhi no longer delayed, took Cao Yuncheng, Liu Er, Zeng Liu and the Ma brothers and others, and set off for Penglai on the seventh day of August.

The reason why Yang Zhi brought the Ma family brothers is nothing more than to take this opportunity to let them have more experience, gain more knowledge, and enter the role as soon as possible. The Ma brothers have only learned to ride horses in the past few days, and it is impossible to ride long distances every day like the previous group of six. Yang Zhi simply left Zeng Liuyi alone, and the three of Qin Kongyun's master and servant rushed first, and ordered Cao Yuncheng and Liu Er to lead them to follow.

In order to ensure that he accompanies Linglong to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival on Dangji Island, Yang Zhi must change horses every time he arrives at Qin's semicolon along the way, so that he can ride his horse with confidence all the way.

During the break, Qin Kongyun gently reminded Yang Zhi that even though there was an urgent need to employ people at the moment, it was still necessary to pay a little attention to screening when accepting people.

Yang Zhi pointed his head with his hand, and said disappreciatively: "The so-called core secrets are all here with me." There are less than 200 servants and maidservants in my mansion in Chang'an, and there are still fewer spies from all walks of life? You wouldn't be naïve enough to think that the Qin clan didn't have one, right? The emperor knows my bottom in the sea off Shandong very well, do you think he is an immortal who can pinch and calculate? As the saying goes, if you have more lice, you are not afraid of itching, and if you have more debt, you don't have to worry. As far as I'm concerned, the stronger I am today, the less I have to worry about any secrets. Do you think I'm a human being? Instead of focusing on how to defend against people, it is better to use them on how to use people. Using you and believing in you are two different things. ――Your Qin clan has stood for decades without falling, do you dare to say that your father and son didn't do this? ”

At sunset on the evening of August 10, Yang Zhi, Qin Kongyun and others arrived in Penglai safely.

Yang Zhi's mansion in Penglai was given by Bai Xinglang, the quasi-father-in-law of Qin Kongyun's brother Qin Jiaoyang and a wealthy Penglai pharmacist, on the grounds of gratitude. The mansion is spacious and luxurious, but it is also elegant, and it is deeply loved by the exquisite people who came from the emperor's family.

Bai Xinglang pulled the banner of Yang Zhi and Linglong as his backers, and with the help of Qin Jiaoyang, the fast son-in-law of the East Bed, he has already made a lot of money in the past half a year. Hearing that Yang Zhi was appointed as the first customs governor of Great Xia, Bai Xinglang secretly calculated that he had to take a few more concubines to work overtime. Otherwise, if there is no son to take over the family business earned by God-given opportunities, sooner or later he will have to be surnamed Qin!

Thanks to the Qin family's most advanced communication method in this era, not only Mr. Yi, Bai Xinglang, Qin Jiaoyang, Bai Ranbing and others have been waiting in Yang Zhi's mansion for a long time, but Wang Yuxin, the commander of Penglai County, has also joined in the fun.

Even the blind can see that Qin Jiaoyang and Bai Ranbing are in love. Bai Ranbing is not only knowledgeable, but also shrewd and capable. Communicating with people is better than Qin Jiaoyang. In the future, the head of the Qin family and the eldest uncle, Qin Kongyun, behaved generously and generously, and the etiquette was extremely thoughtful. Qin Jiaoyang has been stationed in Penglai alone for many years, even if he has no merit, he also has hard work. Even if the woman he fancies is a belly full of feces, Qin Kongyun can only pinch his nose and admit it. What's more, the second child of the Qin family is a leader among women like Bai Ranbing? It's natural to be in a good mood at the moment.

Yang Zhi was a little absent-minded. When you get to your own land, you don't need to force yourself to act. Under the pretext of being tired and tired, after greeting everyone, he went straight to the study of the mansion.

Annoying trivial things are also things, which have to be faced and solved. Then he ordered Zeng Liu to come out and greet him: Everyone here, please be calm for the time being, my marquis has something to ask you, and you will meet you later. (To be continued......)
