Chapter 175: The Old Prefect's Grievances

It is said that the prefect of Wang originally had a trace of expectations for the construction of the city, and felt that this was the opportunity to make contributions and become immortal (a common problem of scholars), and wanted to seize the initiative from Shi Shenzheng.

It should be said that the Italian silver of the old prefect Wang is not outrageous.

This Gusu city has been built for more than 2,000 years since the king of Wu, during which there may be rise and fall, but the location outline has basically not been moved, the eight city gates are destroyed from time to time but the name has never changed, it can be regarded as the existence of living fossils. When it comes to the famous city of Gusu, it is inevitable to say King Wu, which is the charm of historical inheritance.

What the prefect of Wang thought was that if he could complete the great cause of expanding the city when he was the prefect, would he also pass on his reputation for two thousand years? In this way, the first sentence is that King Wu built a city in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the second sentence may be the expansion of the Taishou prince of the Ming Dynasty and the dynasty.

No matter how big Shi participates in politics, it is not Suzhou Mansion that participates in politics, he Wang is the rightful official of Suzhou Mansion!

When the heat of this fantasy reached its peak in his mind, the prefect of Wang used the name of Shi Shenzheng to consult Li Tuiguan in an attempt to gain support.

However, Li You was puzzled, and in a few words, quick words, and rumors, he directly destroyed Mr. Wang's dream. Obviously, the layman Li, who has a very low ideological consciousness, has no interest in getting into this trouble.

Li You, who has traveled from the 21st century, certainly knows that the majestic city wall may be able to survive from 2,000 years ago to today, but most of them will not survive the next 500 years.

For some reason, since then, the prefect of Wang has felt very aggrieved. Throughout the three hundred years of the dynasty, in the position of the governor of Suzhou, is there anything more depressing than him?

There is a chaotic sub-guarding platform above, and there is a well-known local tyrant below, and the powerful Taoist platform fights with the local tyrants who are against the sky, and his prefect is sandwiched in the middle and becomes a neglected existence.

In the eyes of the Taotai, he is a puppet, and in the eyes of the local tyrants, he is a cover, and he is simply a dead man.

After discussing the two carefully, the Wang Governor's Mansion can still tolerate Li Tuiguan. Although he was overshadowed by Li Tuiguan's limelight, Wang Zhifu himself is not a sharp surname, and he has no complaints about it.

What's more, although Li Tuiguan acts in a high-profile manner and values face, in terms of the actual division of power in the government, he still knows how to measure and advance and retreat, and does not easily cross the line to seize power, and he is also a person with clear grievances. All these made the prefect of the king very appreciative.

In contrast, Shi's style of repeatedly interfering in the government affairs of the government made Lord Wang of the government very dissatisfied.

Last time, and the court test was not mentioned, in terms of this city building, if Shi Shenzheng has this idea, according to the rules, he should first report to the government office, and then the government government should decide to play the invitation, instead of guarding the road and carrying the government office directly to the court.

The duty of guarding the road is to be a governor, not to do it himself and meddle indiscriminately. Even if an assistant city builder is appointed, it is actually Li You instead of him, the official of the government office, which is too contemptuous.

Wang Zhifu was thinking about it and was in a trance, and listened to the report from Menzi: "Li Tuiguan asks to see you." ”

It turned out that Li You sent Master Huang away, and felt that what Master Huang said was right, and it was the next policy to fight alone on his own after all, if the prefect came forward, the room for maneuver would be much greater, and he suddenly became a little enlightened, and the only thing to worry about was that the prefect Wang was accustomed to retreating as advance.

Besides, with Master Huang's eyesight, it should not be empty to say that the prefect Wang's depression should not be empty mouth, so Li You came over to take a look at the situation.

There was nothing else, and after Li You said a few words, he really noticed a little bit of the heart of the Wang Governor's Mansion.

I didn't find out before, it wasn't because Li Tuiguan's ability to observe words and colors was poor, but because he lacked a sense of awe, which led to a lack of concern for the emotions of the prefect Wang. If Chen Xundao was the boss, Master Li would definitely pay attention to any clues at all times.

Li You couldn't help but secretly laugh at the fact that Lord Wang was suppressed by Governor Mao and treated it indifferently, but now that he is sitting on the throne of the main hall, he is worried about the offense of Shi Dashen.

In fact, being suppressed is also a kind of attention, and now Shi Shenzheng is purely ignoring the Wang Governor's Mansion and only treating it as an accomplice of Li.

"Shi has been a prefect for more than ten years, and he simply won't be another official, and now he has become a prefect or uses the posture of the prefect and does the prefect's things! But where do you put the mansion? Li You deliberately made a big comment.

These words really went to the heart of the prefect Wang's house, and he waved his hand and said: "Don't be impatient, I have my own plans!" ”

Li You was about to speak, but now he was stunned, he was used to the prefect of the Wang Mansion opening his mouth at this time to say "Ji will be released" or "how to be good". I really didn't expect that the prefect of Wang was very decisive this time, and he didn't need his advice, and there was a faint sense of loss.

"Building a city is really something that can't be done, so the lower official first said that he couldn't get sick."

Li You took sick leave and went home. It just so happened that Li Zheng came to visit, and there were four Chinese rookies together. These five people are naturally the five people on Li You's small strip, and after the retest, they were busy apprenticing, registering, and choosing schools.

Li You saw that they were beaming, and his mood was much better, and he asked casually, "What are you going to do next?" ”

"Now that it's peaceful, I'll go back to the county later, and I'll make an appointment to drink and have fun at the painting boat tonight." Li Zheng replied.

These people's family backgrounds are quite solid, and they naturally have the financial resources to go to the carnival, Li You came and said with interest: "Which painting boat?" I don't know if the official knows it. ”

Li Zheng was very nervous, "Uncle Xiao is still at home with a few uncles and grandmothers, don't come to join in the fun with me." ”

Li You said strangely: "What kind of tone are you?" ”

Li Zheng slurred, "Since the black and white upside-down flower list, now your old man's reputation in this industry has not reached the top wind for three thousand miles... I'm afraid I'm going to be cold. When I signed the contract before, I moved out of your old man's name, thinking that I could save a few silver, but I was almost turned away, so I was willing to say double the price. If you want to come again in person, I can't hold it for three times the price, so I beg you to take pity on the poor nephew's wallet, don't go. ”

"Get out! It's not uncommon for the lord to go! Li You scolded.

In the next few days, Shi Shenzheng's order was ignored by Li You, since the prefect Wang said that he had his own opinions, he didn't care, and was busy with the opening of the pawnshop. first called Sister Li Mei from Xujiang to come forward to make a contract, making her the nominal proprietor, and then transferred two men from Guan's Silk Bank to take care of the accounts and money.

The reason why this pawnshop can't be opened is not because of a catastrophe. The main reason is that the original owner is too ambitious, and there are too many purchases and loans, which occupies a lot of capital, resulting in the cash being cut off after the capital turnover is not moving, and the operation is naturally unsustainable.

The original shopkeeper, courtier, and buddy of the pawnshop did not move, and changing the owner was nothing to them, but they were a little puzzled when they saw that it was a female owner.

On the day the pawnshop reopened, it was also very low-key, and did not make common flower heads, only replaced with new plaques and put a few fireworks. Behind the high counter, the guy asked Du Chaofeng: "It's so deserted, if you don't invite your peers to set up a stage, you're still an underworld." I don't know what the owner thinks, will there be a business here? ”

Du Chaofeng sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't open it, I'm afraid that there will be people who will open the door and make trouble." ”

Before the words fell, I saw several slaves dressed as characters, some holding the word scroll, and some carrying the plaque. After entering the house, they all threw it on the counter, piled up all over the counter, and shouted across the counter: "Be a word!" ”

The counter guy's heart jumped, isn't this a troublemaker?

Du Chaofeng is in charge of identifying calligraphy and painting, and he picks it up and unfolds it. First look at the money, it is the words "Chen Dongshan", but I have never heard of it, I think it is not a famous artist, and then look at the handwriting, although it is strict and regular, it is not a master's handwriting.

Neither a famous person, but the word is average, it is really worth a few dollars of silver, Du Chaofeng pondered for a long time, did not make a bid, and asked: "How much do you want to wait for the word?" ”

"My lord has a word, you can watch it!"

Du Chaofeng continued to ask very experienced: "Dare to ask what your mansion is..."

"According to the judge's Chen Xundao!" The house slave said proudly.

Chen Dongshan? Chen Xundao? It seems that this Dongshan is his boss's nickname... Du Chaofeng's scalp tightened, this autumn wind is a bit big, no one on the counter is the master, and he hurriedly sent the guy to the backyard to ask the female owner.

After a while, the female proprietor spread the word, one piece of one tael, twenty pieces of twenty taels were all collected, and the monthly interest was three cents.

Twenty taels... Interest? Listening to the owner's offer, Du Chaofeng was shocked.

This definitely can't reach the psychological bottom line of the dignified inspector, right? In all fairness, twenty taels is not a small amount, but how different is it from sending away the sub-division? Why is the owner so stingy here, thousands of taels have been spent, but he feels distressed here, do he understand the sophistication of human feelings? If you don't make trouble, you will have to destroy the door!

A woman's mood is too small, she is really not suitable for business, what is the use of being beautiful? The men at the counter sighed.

Knock knock! Chen Jiahao nu knocked the counter outside and said, "What a few taels of silver is going on!" If you don't issue a ticket quickly, remember that you are dead! Uncle, I have to go back to my lord! ”

The guy who wrote the ticket, Long Feifeng, opened twenty taels of tickets in a special font and handed them out of the counter.

Du Chaofeng shook his head, maybe he will change the owner again in a few days... By the way, how does the female owner know that it is twenty? I didn't have time to count the numbers just now.

At this time, a few more people came in, and at the head was a short and fat man in a silk shirt and satin robe, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Shopkeeper Sun, Du Chaofeng, and I came to congratulate you for your peers." ”

This person, Du Chaofeng, knew him, and he was the shopkeeper of another big pawnshop on the same street. I heard that the big pawnshop was opened by the Qian Huang merchant, and he has always intended to eat here, and this time he obviously came with bad intentions.

I've reminded the owner to be careful, why haven't you seen any movement? Du Chaofeng muttered seven up and down.

Everyone in the Li family's pawnshop knew in their hearts that the imperial merchant Qian family was also difficult to deal with. Just slapped the face of the old man of the inspection division to death, and in the blink of an eye, the Qian family came to the door again to make trouble, how many days can this pawnshop be open? I'm really going to find a job to make a living... In fact, the real proprietor Li You and Li Tuiguan were present, but Bai Arowana led a few officials to sit on the tea stall opposite the pawnshop and drink tea.

The sunny day in May was really sunny, and suddenly I saw a government official running over with sweat on his head and whispering a few words in Li You's ear.

Li You's face was extremely strange and said, "Fuzun is like this? He immediately got up and left.
