Although he scolded Xu Dingchen in his heart, Wei Tonghe still had to pretend to be smiling and not smiling on the surface, and pretended to praise: "Lord Yue is young and promising, and he is really a pillar of the imperial court. ”

As soon as Wei Tonghe said this, Xu Dingchen on the side felt a greasy feeling in his heart, this eunuch always uses this excuse to scare people, are you annoying.

And Yue Yang on the side was scared out of a cold sweat, Nima's, tell the emperor about my affairs, this is the rhythm of thinking that my silver is too much! hurriedly excused himself and said: "Gonggong Wei is strict, how dare the work of the lower officials be insulting to the saints, I won't bother you at this hour." ”

"Huh...... It should be, this dynasty has always paid attention to rewards and punishments, and Yue is so loyal to the country, how can he not "reward"! Wei Tonghe said as he pulled the word "reward".

As soon as Wei Tonghe said such an obvious procrastination, Yue Yang, who was still a little confused, immediately came back to his senses.

"Nima's, I said, why is it so strange. The buddy didn't have any friendship with the dead eunuch, how did he come to drink his brother's wedding wine this time, and the feeling was that this guy saw that his brother had paid 100,000 taels of salt tax from the imperial court, and he had pink eye and wanted to fight the autumn wind. ”

Thinking of this, Yue Yang was unhappy for a while, he had made a mistake in paying taxes this year, and as soon as he paid taxes, all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods appeared. Yue Yang, who was tired of feeling in his heart, didn't want to pay attention to this eunuch, but he was afraid that he would offend this guy and have a hard time in the future, and now his power is still too thin, and someone must cover it, otherwise the future will be sad.

Gritting his teeth, Yue Yang took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Wei Tonghe with both hands, and said respectfully: "Father-in-law Wei can think about the lower officials like this, which really moves the lower officials. The lower officials heard that Father-in-law Wei had just arrived, and he didn't even have a place to settle down, so he specially prepared a little heart and asked his father-in-law to accept it. ”

I saw the envelope handed over by Yue Yang. Wei Tonghe did not refuse, and took the envelope with a smile. The smile on his face turned into a chrysanthemum: "Eh, let Yue Ethics break the cost, how can our family be happy!" ”

Looking at Wei Tonghe, whose eyes were about to narrow into a slit, Yue Yang resisted the urge to punch him into a pig's head and smiled: "Eh...... Where does Father-in-law Wei speak, everyone is doing things for the emperor, and colleagues should help each other. ”

"Well, then we're welcome." Wei Tonghe was not polite, and without even looking at it, he directly stuffed the envelope into his arms.

Some people may wonder how Wei Tonghe didn't even look at it, as if he knew very well how much silver was inside. In fact, it was at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Accepting bribes in officialdom has become a common practice, and a set of rules has also been formed.

For example, if an official has just taken office, the officials below will give a sum of silver. This silver is called washing pen silver, and in the popular language of later generations, it is a greeting gift. As for the amount of silver, it has to do with what rank of official you are, where you got it, and how much silver you should take, and this rule cannot be disrupted casually. For example, Wei Tonghe was a eunuch from Wupin who came from the capital to guard the middle palace. His dust-washing silver is five thousand taels of silver, not more or less, if Wei Tonghe is less happy, other officials will be unhappy. Of course. For example, the 30,000 taels of silver that Yueyang handed over to Zheng Kui and Xu Dingchen a few days ago were used for the yamen, which is another way of saying.

Wei Tonghe, who had won the silver, finally showed a satisfied smile on his face, and he began to look at Yue Yang. As the saying goes, a sedan chair carries people, and since Yueyang has given him enough face, he naturally has to give people a certain amount of convenience.

Wei Tonghe turned his head to Xu Dingchen and said, "Lord Xu." If our family is not mistaken, Yue Chengdu seems to be from a Xiucai background, right? ”

Seeing that Wei Tonghe had finally returned to normal, Xu Dingchen was also secretly relieved. This eunuch finally stopped, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law Wei is right, Yue Cheng's ethics is from Xiucai!" ”

Wei Tonghe asked puzzledly: "Then why doesn't Yue Ethics continue to gain fame?" Our family Guanyue's ethics are the best choice in terms of conversation and behavior, and it should not be a problem to take a person to raise a jinshi, if you can be on the high school list, wouldn't it be a glorious ancestor? Why bother to be this little integrity officer? ”

As soon as Wei Tonghe said this, everyone in the inner hall, including Xu Dingchen, smiled bitterly, this Wei Gonggong really didn't have a backache when he stood and spoke. Not to mention how difficult it is to be admitted to the two lists of Jinshi, it can really be called a single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops, and even if you are admitted to Jinshi, it does not mean that you will be able to become an official immediately to make up for the real shortage, if you are lucky, you can wait for three or two years to be a seven-grade county commander in a foreign country, and then you have to slowly boil up your qualifications, and it is good to be able to survive to the four-grade prefect Zhishi when you are old. It's not uncommon for people who have been waiting in line to fill the gaps all their lives, and it's all bitter tears.

Wei Tonghe is not stupid, seeing that all the people in the inner hall showed strange expressions, he knew that he had said the wrong thing just now, and he was not a stupid person, and he understood the reason after thinking about it. I couldn't help but smile wryly and stopped talking.

However, it is not his Wei Tonghe's style to collect the money and not do anything, he has the intention to sell his favor to Yue Yang, and after thinking about it, he said: "Yue Ethics, we heard that you have a good training method, and you have a hand in fighting, and now there are also thieves and bandits around Yingzhou Mansion, are you interested in leading troops to quell these bandits?" At that time, our family can also help you report to the court and ask for credit for you! ”

When Wei Tonghe said this, in addition to Yue Yang, Xu Dingchen, Zheng Kui, Tang Xueying and others couldn't help but secretly scold this guy for his greed. Wei Tonghe just now called returning the favor, because Yue Yang just gave him a sum of silver, which is equivalent to selling a favor to him, if he doesn't return this favor, then Yue Yang will not give him any more silver in the short term, only if he returns this favor, he can continue to collect the money.

Therefore, there are too many Taoists in the officialdom, and it is not at all something that Yue Yang, a rookie, can know. Now when Yue Yang heard Wei Tonghe say this, he also felt that this was a good thing. Last year, Gao Yingxiang and other rogues entered the country, captured several cities, and later although they were driven out, but also left a lot of bandits in various parts of Shanxi, these bandits often robbed homes and even raped and plundered, so that the local government had a headache, if these bandits can be exterminated, not only can improve the local security environment, but also can train those recruits under them, it can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, Yue Yang was also overjoyed, and hurriedly said to Wei Tonghe: "Since Gonggong Wei cares about the people, how can the lower officials refuse, just obey their orders." ”

Seeing that Yue Yang agreed so quickly, the corners of Zheng Kui's mouth moved and he wanted to say something, but seeing that Master Tang and his boss Xu Dingchen didn't speak, he swallowed the words back. Anyway, this matter is not harmful to everyone, and it is also a good thing for him to be able to exterminate the surrounding bandits, and it is also a credit to Yue Yang, and he has no reason to stop others.

After the business was over, Xu Dingchen opened his mouth again and asked Yue Yang to stay for lunch, during the banquet, Xu Dingchen also gave Yue Yang a lot of encouragement, and there was a lot of praise in his words, Yue Yang was not stupid, so he could naturally see the meaning of Xu Dingchen's words. The governor of a province gave such a face, he naturally had to carry it, and naturally he agreed without a mouth.

Halfway through the banquet, Yue Yang suddenly remembered something, and he couldn't help but say to Xu Dingchen: "Lord Xu, the lower officials still have something to ask for, I hope your lordship will approve it." ”

A hint of curiosity flashed in Xu Dingchen's eyes, and he said, "Oh, Yue Ethics, if you have anything else, you might as well tell it and listen to it!" ”

"That's right." Yue Yang hurriedly said; "My lord, since the thieves retreated last year, there have been a lot of homeless people left. These displaced people have no land or job, wander around and beg for a living, which has a great impact on the public security in the surrounding areas, but the government cannot beat or scold them, let alone force them to leave the country, otherwise they will easily become bandits. Therefore, the lower officials took it upon themselves to collect some displaced people, give them seeds and farm tools, and let them open up wasteland for farming, so that this hidden danger could be eliminated. ”

"That's a good thing, is that really the case?" When Xu Dingchen heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he turned his gaze to Zheng Kui, when he saw Zheng Kui nodding with a smile, his eyes looking at Yue Yang were even more full of approval, "If you can really settle those homeless people, Yue Cheng's move can be described as a great merit!" ”

"Lord Xu has won the award, but then the problem comes again, now there are more and more displaced people, but there is only so much land in Wulizhai, Xiaguan wants to continue to open up wasteland along the north, but it is the boundary of the original Pingfu, so things are a little troublesome."

"Oh...... That's right! ”

As soon as Yue Yang said this, Xu Dingchen immediately understood. The imperial court is certainly supportive of the reclamation of wasteland to increase food, but one of the most taboo things to be an official is to cross the border, Yue Yang, as the integrity of the Yingzhou government, took the displaced people to the Pingyuan Mansion to open up the wasteland, what do you make the officials of the Pingyuan Mansion think, and who will collect the grain tax after the wasteland is reclaimed? This kind of thing is very easy to go wrong without the approval of the head and the pre-emption, and it was Yue Yang who raised this issue to Xu Dingchen, after all, as the governor of a province, it is his duty to manage the people's livelihood.

Xu Dingchen thought for a while, and then said: "Yue Cheng's ability to collect the displaced people, give them seeds and farm tools, and make them reclaim wasteland, this matter is a good thing no matter what, and this official naturally wants to support it." In this way, this official will send an official document to the Pingyuan Mansion and tell them about this matter, and in the future, the grain tax reclaimed from this wasteland will be collected by the Pingyuan Mansion and the Yingzhou Mansion in turn, what do you think? ”

"Lord Xu, this can't be done...... As soon as Xu Dingchen's words fell, Zheng Kui and Yue Yang shouted out at the same time...... (To be continued!)
