The name Zuixiangfang is faintly familiar. Yang Zhi thought about it for a while, isn't it the highest-grade green building by the Qinhuai River? On the same day, Linglong specially set up a trap in Zuixiangfang to fish Qin Kongyun to come, in order to ask the Qin clan to lobby the emperor to strike a truce against Beiyan.

Qinglou** consciously chose to buy some young girls, and trained them from an early age. Those who are mediocre and lack talent usually become rough girls in Qinglou when they grow up. Those who are good in color and art are called Qingqi people, waiting for the price to sell.

Yang Zhizheng has been young since his youth, and he is also known as a civil and military all-rounder. The two beautiful maids must have been carefully selected by Zhou Renjie before they were bought and given to Yang Zhi with a lot of money. Yang Zhi's words of refusing to sleep were quite clear and polite, but the two beautiful maids were so frightened that their faces turned pale. Zhou Renjie's character can be seen from this, and it is obviously not a good thing.

Most of the women who have fallen into the dust have miserable backgrounds. The sentence "I grew up in Jinling Drunken Xiangfang since I was a child", I don't know how much sorrow it contains! can be sold to high-ranking officials or wealthy families as maids, only need to "serve" a family, life is stable, and if you are lucky, you may be able to have a concubine who will die in old age. If it is returned by the benefactor, not only will the value drop sharply, but the end will be worrying! Otherwise, how could the two beautiful maids be afraid of being like that?

Yang Zhi has a sentence that is often on his lips, but it is very humane to say: if you are a person, you have to treat people as people.

It took a lot of words to roughly explain his concept and the role of the two in the back house in the future. He also solemnly promised that not only would he never return the two to the prefect Zhou, but he would also ask Zhou for their deeds of sale.

Even so, the two beautiful maids were still skeptical. Restlessly rubbing the corners of his clothes, hesitating and reluctant to leave. Yang Zhi smiled bitterly: "Two girls." I tossed around for a day, and I was really tired. Do you just stand all night? It's all said that you are not a cat or a dog to be toyed with. Why don't you believe it? Crying and shouting for harm, even looking down on yourself, who will look down on you in the future? ”

The two beautiful maids left step by step, and in order to facilitate their care, they chose a room next to Yang Zhi's bedroom to rest. Entering the door and lighting the candle, the two looked at each other and smiled sadly, and then couldn't help but cover their mouths and cry bitterly! They not only want to please Yang Zhi, but also have the responsibility of monitoring the prefect's secret orders!

His Excellency the Governor of the Customs has come to take up his post, and everyone in Jinling City knows about it. First arrival in Jinling. Choosing a place to settle people is a top priority. The mansion selected as the Yamen of the Governor of Customs is very easy to find, but the three people recommended by Su Ziming have not yet appeared. If it comes, it will be safe. The literati of these years are somewhat reserved and arrogant, and in order to seek the advancement of the body, they will carefully prepare a set of rhetoric when they meet them. Yang Zhi's psychological bottom line is to give them three days.

Early the next morning, Yang Zhiwei went out of the city and came to the house outside the city to inspect the soldiers. Zhou Renjie's sycophants are loud, and his vision is also extremely good. The spaciousness of the chosen home. It is more than Yang Zhi imagined, and there is actually a martial arts arena for 100 people to practice. If a four-person dormitory is converted into a large bunk similar to a military barracks, it can accommodate more than 300 customs officials.

After calling Cao Yuncheng to ask, he learned that this mansion was originally the residence of the marshal of the Southern Tang Forbidden Army who had been martyred. There are also two other houses outside Jinling City to choose from. Cao Yuncheng said that the scale is only slightly smaller, and the functional facilities are generally similar, and they are all places where several senior generals before the destruction of the Southern Tang Dynasty trained and guarded their relatives.

Success or failure turns empty. How many things have happened in ancient and modern times. It's all laughing and talking. Yang Zhi couldn't help but sigh to himself, it was only a year since the Southern Tang Dynasty was destroyed. It's already a matter of people. It is not that the Southern Tang Dynasty lacks talents, nor is it that the national strength is weak. Compared with the Great Xia, which rose in the northwest corner of the troubled times, there are many advantages! But under a thousand years, who remembers whom?

After having lunch with a group of servants, there was nothing to do. The lunch meal is one dish and one soup, and the meat can be seen. Compared with the elite forbidden army of Great Xia in Chang'an, it is not bad at all. Not only are the cooks and miscellaneous servants equipped by Zhou Renjie, but even the purchase cost of oil and rice dishes is also supported by him. This is not a matter of a day or two, Yang Zhi casually gave Cao Yuncheng 20,000 taels of silver tickets, and told him to eat, wear, and wear all the things that are used, and the supply must not be interrupted. Since the prefect has a lot of money, let him supply it. Lao Tzu wants to see, how long can he supply?

After the meal, Yang was led by Cao Yuncheng and inspected the other two houses. The common feature of the three houses, in addition to being spacious enough, is that they are all located by the river, and the water and land transportation is extremely convenient.

Cao Yuncheng vaguely guessed that Yang Zhi was very likely to order him to live here. Carefully asked what would happen to the other two houses, he didn't want Yang Zhi to be displeased: "That's my business." What does it have to do with you? ”

Although Yang Zhi is majestic, he rarely speaks harshly to his subordinates. Cao Yuncheng was terrified, and suddenly had the idea of "accompanying the king like a tiger". In fact, Yang Zhi's idea is very simple, there will only be more and more subordinates in the future, you will delegate power when you should be in charge, and you better not be smart when you shouldn't interject!

Before the three people recommended by Su Ziming met, they were idle. Yang Fatal Cao Yuncheng went to the prefect's yamen again and asked Zhou Renjie for the deed of selling the two beautiful maids.

At dusk, he returned to the courtyard of the city house, and the doorman reported that a visitor had arrived. Yang Zhi inquired about only one person, and he knew that the first visitor was Qin Kongyun nine times out of ten.

As soon as he entered the back house, he saw Qin Kongyun wandering around the courtyard boredly with his hands behind his back. As soon as he saw Yang Zhi, he shook his head again and again and said, "Your two beautiful maids, even the rain flowers before the Ming Dynasty have changed two for me." I thought you wouldn't be back tonight! ”

Yang Zhi immediately assigned two beautiful maids to leave one to serve, and the other went to the kitchen to order the preparation of wine and food.

There was no need to be polite between the two, and after entering the inner hall and taking a seat, Yang Zhi asked directly: "You should have arrived nearly a month earlier than me, what have you been doing in Jinling during this time?" ”

Qin Kongyun didn't hide it, and replied clearly: "It's easy to say, but it's complicated to do." The Governor of Customs, Yamen, built a government here, and in order not to fall into the hands of others, he made some changes and adjustments to the related industries and personnel of the Qin family. Secondly, in the name of drawing silver taels, he gradually raised funds to purchase various materials and began to transport them to the islands off the coast of Shandong to hoard them. ”

Then he smiled and said: "Inspired by my uncle in Penglai, the Qin family originally wanted to take the lead in donating two mansions to your customs governor's yamen, but unexpectedly, the prefect took the business. ”

Yang Zhi said jokingly: "The prefect's kindness is difficult, and the contemptible person has to be ashamed." As far as I'm concerned, the more money the better. What is the relationship between the two of us? I will never refuse the Qin family's kindness, and the door of bribery will always be open to you! ”

Qin Kongyun sighed: "How can I not know your way of acting as a person? This Zhou Renjie really spared no expense! I wonder what you think of this person? ”

"This person has a knife hidden in his smile, and he is definitely not a good type!" Yang Zhi kicked the ball back again, and said: "On weekdays, you go to Jinling frequently, and when the emperor decided to raise troops to attack the Tang Dynasty, the Qin family must have been involved behind his back. Don't tell me that you don't know anything about Zhou Renjie's old bottom! (To be continued......)
