Chapter 297: Someone Can't Wait
Xu Liang snorted coldly, "If General Ye wants to train the team, he might as well set off with his own official's Liang army, fight a real battle under Jingning City, and fight the thieves with real knives, wouldn't it be easier to achieve results?" ”
Commander Ye's old face turned red, and he sneered: "Lord Xu is joking, thinking that the officers and soldiers of our guard are all new soldiers, and being sent to the battlefield is tantamount to death." Everything should be done step by step, and it is not suitable for the garrison army to attack the city, but it is extremely suitable to defend the city. After that, Commander Ye raised his wine glass to the prince of Dongchang again, and saluted: "Please also ask the prince to give the lower officials this opportunity." ”
Wang Gonggong suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and Xu Liang's attitude was undoubtedly opposed. Although before Xu Liang arrived, Commander Ye and others had already expressed themselves in private, but thinking that Xu Liang was the general of the Liang Army after all, and attacking Jingning Prefecture, the prince still had to rely on Xu Liang, and his heart was a little shaken, glancing at Xu Liang, seeing that Xu Liang was faintly angry, the prince coughed lightly twice, stretched out his hand to support Commander Ye, and said with a smile: "Our family is just ordered to suppress bandits, as for the issue of guarding Daliang City, this matter is the internal affairs of Daliang Mansion, although our family is Qincha, it is not easy to interfere?" Lord Ye's heart to serve the country with his fist, our family naturally appreciates it very much, but Lord Ye wants to garrison the city, but he asked our family to enter the wrong temple and worship the wrong Bodhisattva. ”
Commander Ye was slightly stunned, looked at Wang Gonggong in astonishment, and saw Wang Gonggong pointing at Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang with a smile, and secretly annoyed that this Wang Tiqian temporarily changed his hexagram, but it was also inconvenient, so he turned to Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, in embarrassment.
Governor Zhang was at a loss, there was no such thing in the previous arrangement, and he was panicked for a while. Hesitantly glanced at the prince and the prince of Han, and clenched his hands tightly. His eyes wandered and he said, "Well...... After the Pingliang guerrilla general Dai Feng went out to fight, Lord Ye's guards were used to strengthen the city's defense forces. ”
This is tacit approval.
Xu Liang sneered: "Lord Futai is not confused. There is only a Pingliang city, and our Liang army can defend it, so why bother Ye to command the horse. ”
"This ......" Governor Zhang was speechless for a while, he hated Xu Liang for being so faceless, but he didn't want to offend Xu Liang too much, so he hesitated for a long time.
Xu Liang had a cold face and stared at Governor Zhang, wanting to see if this Governor Zhang had the courage to rise up. However, Governor Zhang was silent for a long time. Seeing Xu Liang's face, his voice gradually lowered, and his face turned red, as if he was drunk.
When the prince of Han saw the appearance of Governor Zhang's house, he was disappointed, and got up to play the round, "Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we are taking the wind and washing the dust for the prince, how can we let some small things ruin the atmosphere?" Lord Ye is also really. What business is it at the wine table, come, let's have another drink together? ”
When the prince of Han Wang said this, Lu Chengyuan, Shi Junsheng and other officials who were sitting with him hurriedly got up and responded. After everyone touched a cup, Commander Ye sat back heavily, sulking to himself. Don't look at anyone else.
This unhappiness is over. Later, although the prince of Han Wang, Lu Chengyuan and others picked out some cheerful topics. I wanted to liven up the atmosphere, but I experienced the previous unhappiness. Several important people were not in high spirits.
Xu Liang sat with him for a while, then got up to say goodbye under the pretext, and Huang Tuiguan followed Xu Liang to get up and leave.
Xu and Huang left, but the others in the private room were not in a hurry. Zhu Zijian, the prince of Han, squinted at Zhang Fengqi, the prefect of Pingliang, and then smiled dumbly at the prince: "If you don't know that our Lord Zhang is still the Pingliang prefect officially appointed by the court, this prince still mistakenly thinks that Xu Liang is the prefect of Pingliang?" ”
The prince smiled and was noncommittal.
Zhang Fengqi was so ashamed that he was about to bury his head under the table, suddenly raised his head, his face turned red, and he shouted angrily: "Why is the prince so humiliated by this official? ”
"Did I humiliate you?" Han Wang Shizi exclaimed in surprise, glared at the other people in the room, and asked, "Lord Lu, Lord Shi, tell me, when did this prince humiliate Governor Zhang?" ”
Lu Chengyuan and Shi Junsheng didn't dare to respond, although they also hated the weakness and incompetence of Governor Zhang, but in the end, they were the prefect of Pingliang, and the two of them were still under the control of Governor Zhang, and in the future, they would look at people's faces and act in the future, how dare they be stupid enough to offend in person.
"Look at yourself, Xu Liang is like a mouse seeing a cat in front of him! Lost fun! Han Shizi snorted coldly, got up and brushed his sleeves away. On the opposite side, Anton Zhongwei Ye and Commander Huang Ziren hurriedly got up, hurriedly arched his hand towards the prince, and chased after the prince of Han.
The feast broke up.
Pingliang Tuiguan Huang Daozhou accompanied Xu Liang all the way back to the gate of Xu's mansion, and when they parted, Xu Liang said in a deep voice: "Tonight, the official looks at the shape of the head, the movement of the prefect's yamen in the past few days, you pay more attention, if there is any trouble, report to me in time." ”
"Don't worry, your lordship, you can save it." Huang Tuiguan nodded in response, shook his head again and chuckled: "I don't know what kind of madness this Ye Yanqing has made tonight, he would jump out in such a hurry?" Is his Anton central defender idle or what? ”
Xu Liang's eyes fell on Liao Liao's lights on the street, his eyes were deep, and he said faintly: "Some people saw Wang Tiqian arrive with the holy decree, and thought that the reinforcements were coming, so they couldn't wait." ”
"My lord, who do you think it will be that can't wait?"
"A lot of people can't wait. Anton Zhongwei is now so poor that he has no military affairs and no oil and water, of course Commander Ye can't wait, Governor Zhang has been bullied by us and has become an angry little daughter-in-law, he shouldn't be able to wait......"
"So what do we do?" Huang Daozhou asked the most crucial question.
Xu Liang rolled his eyes and pouted: "That's because they can't wait, we don't lack soldiers or salaries, and we are not in a hurry, what can we do?" The soldiers will block, the water will flood, that's all. It's not early, Lord Huang should go back and rest early, the official is also tired. ”
"Huh?" Huang Daozhou didn't expect Xu Liang to answer like this, he was stunned, and wanted to ask more clearly, so he saw Xu Liang yawning and entering Xu's mansion, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and went back to his residence.
Xu Liang said to Huang Daozhou that he was not in a hurry, which somewhat meant that Huang Daozhou was relieved. The next day, Xu Liang told Tsing Yiwei to keep an eye on Anton Zhongwei and Han Wang Shizi, although he didn't know what these people were going to do when they jumped up and down, but there was nothing wrong with keeping an eye on them.
Although the reputation of Dongchang is not very good, but when a heavyweight like Wang Tiqian arrives in Pingliang, how can officials at all levels in Pingliang not know how close and intimate they are to Wang Gonggong? That is, there is no place to ask for the prince at the moment, but who can guarantee that something will happen in the future career? It is better to be diligent in advance than to temporarily hold Buddha's feet in an accident. With this kind of thought, officials at all levels lined up to feast on the prince, and naturally, every time they were invited, they always had to politely submit a post to Xu's house.
This kind of banquet is hypocritical from beginning to end, and Xu Liang, the dignified general of the Liang army, is naturally disdainful. Taking advantage of the fact that the prince was in a hurry to go to one banquet after another, Xu Liang made full use of this time to go to the newly started Pingliang soap paste factory for a few days.
The soap paste factory is supervised by Wu Side, who is regarded as the executive director, and Feng Suqin, the eldest wife of Xufu, and Liang Ziqi, the eldest son of the Liang family in Jingzhou, as representatives of the two major shareholders of the soap paste factory, also go to the factory from time to time.
When Xu Liang inspected the production line of each process in the factory, he encountered the Liang period.
Liang Ziqi was still the humble and polite gentleman, and when he saw Xu Liang in civilian clothes, he warmly greeted him and gave a deep salute, "The grass people have seen Lord Tongzhi." ”
Xu Liang hurriedly held it up, and shouted in disgust: "Brother Liang, what are you doing?" You and I have known each other once, and we don't engage in the routine of courtesy in officialdom. ”
"The adult is the pillar of Pingliang, the protector of Pingliang, how can I mess up the etiquette when I see the adult?" Liang Ziqi said with a smile.
Xu Liang got Liang Ziqi's sycophancy, he was refreshed, and happily led Liang Ziqi around the factory. Suddenly, he pointed to the busy workers coming in and out, and asked, "What do you think of the soap paste factory designed by the official?" ”
Liang Ziqi worshipped with a face, and said convincingly: "The adults are far-sighted, whimsical, and convincing!" I never thought that the factory could be opened like this! ”
"It's not going to be another sycophant, is it?" Xu Liang asked suspiciously.
"Absolutely from the bottom of my heart!" Liang Ziqi said sincerely, he waved his left hand excitedly, and said excitedly: "I have calculated, according to the layout and start mode of the soap paste factory, the division of labor of each process, the production speed is at least three or four times faster than that of a general workshop, and this soap paste is not worried about sales, in short supply, it is still an adult's righteous anger, and I agree to the Liang family's participation!" It's hard to do business with adults without making money! ”
Xu Liang laughed.
At this time, Wu Side, the director of the soap paste factory, trotted all the way over, ran to Xu Liang and wiped his sweat and said, "My lord, send a message to the house, let the lord go back to the house quickly." The prince came to the house. (To be continued......)
