Chapter 304: Shameless
There is an old saying in the previous life, if you can afford it, you can step on you. It's just that at present, this sentence doesn't seem to be applicable to Yang Zhi.
It is not easy to get Yang Zhi's recognition and trust, and Su Ziming has undoubtedly succeeded in doing so. If you put such a person in Jinan, what else is there to worry about? It's enough for him Hu Weizhi to drink a pot.
Yang Zhi didn't ask, but Su Ziming took the initiative to present the brief resumes of the three people he recommended. is a very simple statement: "The villain and the three have not seen each other for many years, and only occasionally exchange letters. Time flies, not only can promote the appearance of the elderly, but also change people's hearts. After parting, the situation of the three of them is unknown. The reason why I submitted a brief resume is to facilitate Hou Ye to have a general understanding of them, that's all. β
Yang Zhi said with a smile: "As the saying goes, hearing is false, seeing is believing." Are you saying that I can't just watch it myself? They can rush all the way to Jinling to wait at your invitation, isn't it enough to explain the state of mind of the three of them now? β
Su Ziming sighed: "Hou Ye Mingjian." Who thinks they have a little talent, who doesn't want to show their ambitions and get ahead? The three people recommended by the villain either can't pull the face of the two countries as ministers, or they have no way. If the villain is not fortunate enough to be appreciated by the Hou Ye, he will be at the top of the house when he is old and becomes a rich man! Although opportunities are hard to come by, time waits for no one! β
Yang Zhi saw his face and his words were sad, and comforted: "Because of this, Brother Su should cherish this opportunity even more. It's not early, so I'm tired of arranging for me and Brother Yuncheng to wash up and rest! β
On September 27, Jinan was already in the golden autumn season. Yang Zhi led Cao Yuncheng, Ma Xing and others and the remaining fifty servants to set off for Jinling.
This time. It has been two years since the first time I set foot out of Xinyang to go to Jinling to sell grain and cloth. It was that trip to Jinling that completely changed the trajectory of Yang Zhi's life. Sigh of emotion. The heart said that the significance of going to the opening of the government this time is great, and it may not be far from the last time!
Qin Kongyun jokingly said that Yang Zhi was going to fight the front station. It has been rushed directly from Penglai to Jinling. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Wuyue and other wealthy places have always been regarded as important silver warehouses by the Qin family. Yang Zhifeng's intention to set up the customs governor's yamen here, and the two families secretly hoarded materials, all of which involved the major interests of the Qin clan, and Qin Kongyun would definitely wait for Yang Zhi's arrival with peace of mind.
Since the official uniforms, official seals and other outfits are all available, you can enter the city with a swagger in accordance with the official etiquette of Daxia. It is not entirely for the sake of shaking off the prestige, and it has a refreshing propaganda effect on the Jinling officialdom, rich businessmen and tycoons, and ordinary people. led more than 50 strong men to swagger through the market, can it be called "micro-service"? Nine times out of ten, they will be regarded as a gangster who picks quarrels and provokes trouble. It's hard not to be eye-catching!
On October 12, Yang Zhi and his entourage arrived in Jinling. Still following the precedent of Jinan, he stayed at the official post outside the city for one night, and sent someone to inform Zhou Renjie, the prefect of Jinling, with a famous assassin.
Zhou Renjie was originally an old minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his family was wealthy. It is said that after the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the emperor ordered someone to pass down an edict to "threaten" his life, and Zhou Renjie "reluctantly" agreed to serve as the prefect of Jinling.
Since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or generation. There is never a shortage of people who want to be officials. From the old minister to the new official, he is either a traitor who is originally familiar with foreign countries and has a deep hidden secret, or he is an example to appease people's hearts. The emperor doesn't need to "threaten" at all, and Zhou Renjie doesn't have to be "reluctant". Unless it's a show that is willing to fight and suffer. The credibility of the rumors is extremely low, at best, it is just a whitewash for Zhou Renjie, and there is no suspicion of three hundred taels of silver here.
Temperament this thing. Some people regard it as more important than their lives, and in the eyes of others, it is just a pile of shit. History is clear. When Lu Su urged Sun Quanlian and Liu Kangcao, he said it very well. For surrender or annihilation. The younger brother is under no pressure, so he can mix with the local officials, and the impact on the quality of life is very limited. If there is trouble, it is the boss, who can give you a false lord to raise you in captivity, such an emperor's character can be called excellent, and it is already very kind.
Zhou Renjie's family is rich and rich, and he has been a minister of the two countries without falling, and he has something that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Yang Zhi is a high lord and holds a lot of power, so he doesn't plan to fight wits and courage with this person at all. Show it with power, lure it with profit. If you don't know each other, you will want to drive you away, and if you don't work, I will kill you! The emperor told him not to kill without permission, but he didn't say that he couldn't kill him. Murder is a matter of creativity and artistry: it can be killed in public, it can accidentally "stumble" or "fall into the water", and it can "fall into a violent illness" and die.
In fact, if it weren't for the enmity of the heavens, or the chance to break his head on a rainy day, an old minister who destroyed the country vainly tried to provoke a powerful upstart with a great saint, like a suicide without knowing whether to live or die.
On October 13, the ceremony of welcoming the city laid out by Zhou Renjie, the prefect of Jinling, was obviously not the same grade as Hu Weizhi, the prefect of Jinan. If Hu Weizhi is decent, Zhou Renjie is extremely extravagant. Different places are different, different feelings are different, and different people are different. It is said that he doesn't stretch out his hand to hit the smiling person, Yang Zhi smiled and accepted it peacefully.
There are 12 dishes of four cold and eight hot dishes, and the wine has excellent flower carvings and sweet spirits. More than 50 servants, each of whom gave three sets of clothes as a "meeting gift", a set of coats and two sets of fine silk clothes.
During the routine banquet and laughter, Zhou Renjie, who was quite elegant and graceful, suddenly said with righteous and stern words: "The emperor's edict to set up a customs governor's yamen in Jinling is really a holy move related to thousands of years. Xia Guan has admired Hou Ye's prestige for a long time, and now he is lucky to be able to work with Hou Ye, which is a great honor! There is a trivial matter, the lower officials are good at making claims, and the Marquis of Wanwang must not blame! β
If it is insignificant, why should it be solemn? Yang Zhidu was suddenly stunned by Zhou Renjie, and then took a few documents that he respectfully handed over, and at a cursory glance, they were five land deeds.
Zhou Renjie stood up with a solemn face and bowed and said: "Lord Qiqi, the emperor's edict to open the mansion and build a government is a major event of the country. The subordinate officials are incompetent, so they can only do their best. When the Hou Ye first arrived in Jinling, if there was no place to stay, he would really lose his prestige. Before the arrival of the Hou Ye, the lower officials dared to specialize and chose five mansions. Two of them are inside the city and three are outside the city. There are not only the places where the Hou Ye is the Yamen of the Customs Governor, but also the place where the customs officials are stationed in the horse for training, and there is also a place for the Hou Ye to rest outside of official business. β
"The reason why there are five places is that the lower officials have already heard that although the Hou Ye is far-sighted, he is afraid that the Hou Ye will be tired of saddle horses after working on state affairs, so he is making an initiative for the Hou Ye to select. If you feel agreeable, the right should be a little bit of Bo Yi for the Hou Ye to catch the wind. If you are interested in choosing a new location, you must do your best to serve them. The lower officials are stupid, but there is rudeness and arrogance, and the marquis of Wan begs forgives his sins! β
After going around and around for a long time, even Yang Zhi was dizzy when he heard it. There are only two places, but there are five places for you to choose from. Listening to Zhou Renjie's meaning, it turned out to be free of charge. Isn't it just a sycophant to say that the sky is broken? It's also the prefect of the former capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty, how can it be shameless to this point?
deliberately stammered at the expense of huge sums of money, either there is a ghost in his heart or on his body. Otherwise, he Zhou Renjie is neither your father nor your son, why?
When they met Zhou Renjie for the first time, he openly offered a valuable gift, regardless of his intentions for the time being. But he also pinched Yang Zhi's pulse, a newcomer, and where to settle down is a realistic and long-term problem. As soon as I took a nap, someone sent a pillow, to accept it or not to accept it?
