Chapter 453 Operation (5)
It was at this point that Li Wenxuan, who began to think wildly, finally ended his brief judgment on the current government with absolute power leading to absolute corruption. After retracting his mind, he continued to write letters to Liu Wenjing. I know very well that if you want to subdue the other party, there is more or less arrogance in your bones, and you often look down on others, and the officials who are famous and born in the field must have to exert great favors and move their hearts so that they can worship under their own doors willingly, otherwise it will take so much effort to always try something, right?
It is not clear that this 20,000 taels of silver is not a small amount of Li Wenxuan, but it is a euphemistic hint between the lines in the letter to Liu Wenjing, if he likes the post of magistrate of Daxing County, but there is something inconvenient, he is willing to help him solve the relevant difficulties. To put it bluntly, if the other party can't make up 20,000 taels of silver, then it is okay to borrow or give it away on his side. The reason why Li Wenxuan is so generous has only one purpose, that is, to identify Liu Wenjing as available.
After writing the letter, he put aside the brush in his left hand, then picked up his tea and sat down in the circle chair. On the one hand, I was waiting for the ink on the paper to dry before putting it in the envelope, and on the other hand, I was wondering if there was anything wrong with it. Although this established unspoken rule knows what is going on, it is still necessary to cover it up. This pun is preferred, so as not to fall into the hands of others in the future and lose the opportunity to defend yourself.
After sitting for a while and drinking tea, Li Wenxuan stood up again, and after reading the handwritten letter he wrote to Liu Wenjing again, he didn't find anything wrong, so he directly put it in the envelope and put it on the fire mark himself. He put the letter aside and sat down in the circle chair. Then do your part.
When the hour comes, as soon as the iron bell is ringed, it means that the government can be dispersed. Li Wenxuan, who put the letter he put on the desk, put it in his sleeve pocket, and wanted to go home from work. Li Wenxuan, who went out of his official office and the gate of the Ministry of Rites, found his official sedan chair and sat on. directly ordered them to go home.
It took a while to cross the streets and alleys, and Li Wenxuan was able to return to the mansion. When he got off the sedan chair, he didn't see the ugly girl standing here waiting for him, which meant that nothing happened in the house all day. The days when his mothers-in-law stopped, he didn't dare to say more, and he couldn't say less. Anyway, such days are what he likes, after all, family harmony is a blessing.
Habitually went to Li Wenxuan in the Fuzhong Hall. On the one hand, he sat down to drink tea to quench his thirst and rest, and on the other hand, he asked a slave to find Zhu Biao for himself, after all, the letter in his sleeve had to ask him to send a henchman back to Guangxin Mansion in Jiangxi Province to meet Liu Wenjing, and hand it over to the other party for a look.
Knowing that his master wanted to see his Zhu Biao, he didn't dare to delay and hurried to the main hall of Fuzhong, where he saw Li Wenxuan, but stood next to him. Didn't ask much, but waited for the command. Li Wenxuan, who saw him here. The right hand reached into the pocket of his left sleeve and took out the letter that had been written a long time ago, handed it over, and said, "This letter is written by me to Liu Wenjing. Thou shalt send a reliable man from the house. Be sure to get it into his hand as soon as possible, and if you hear from him, you will have to come back and report it to me immediately. ”
Zhu Biao, who understood the importance of this letter, nodded vigorously to show that he was clear. Although this trip seems to be a chore of errands, it is hard to go back and forth. is definitely valuable, after all, the letter sent this time is not a short period of time, but is related to Liu Wenjing's future and fate. Whoever wants to be able to do it, on the one hand, can get travel expenses and take out the reward money of his own family and the Liu family. On the other hand, it is enough to show that the individual is trusted by the chief steward and the head of the house, and can take credit for it.
Zhu Biao knew that since he wanted to send someone back to his hometown to deliver the letter, it was most appropriate to arrange for the old family in the house to go, so he took the initiative to recommend someone, and even wanted to hear what the master meant: "Master, the villain will arrange for Zhou Hu's apprentice named Datou to go." Although he doesn't talk much, his old family is hard-working and steady. ”
"Okay. If you think he's good, that's fine. Li Wenxuan, who had a rough impression of what he said, explained the second thing to him: "Now, you send another person from the palace to inform Zheng Renji and ask him to come and see me quickly." I have a matter to talk to him about here. As for the third thing, you go to the ugly girl first, so that she can give you a small bottle of the nourishing and aphrodisiac pill in the alchemy room, and then you go to Su Meiniang to withdraw the silver ticket of 10,000 taels of silver, and you will personally send these two things to the house of Li Mo, the left attendant of the ministry, and hand them over to him personally. Zhu Biao, who didn't ask too much and kept it in mind, just simply responded to the word "yes" and said goodbye, and hurriedly arranged for someone to do the first two things, and personally went to do the last one.
Li Wenxuan, who has also drunk tea, naturally will not wait for Zheng Renji to come over here, but stands up and is going to go to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to see his baby daughter Li Muxin, after all, she is the child he likes the most. With his hands behind his back, the reason why he didn't wait for Zheng Renji to send five thousand taels of silver over first, and then let Zhu Biao do it later, was that he expected that the other party would not refuse.
Li Wenxuan, who was a lot more relaxed physically and mentally, knew that the Zheng family still had a certain family background, so he thought in his mind that he had to let him serve him. After making up his mind, he immediately decided to see Zheng Renji, not just 5,000 taels of silver, but 10,000 taels of silver. As for the extra five thousand taels of silver, it naturally belongs to the other party's hard work for himself, after all, there is a reason for the person who handles it to work in vain? An alternate seventh-grade official has to make up for the actual shortage of a medium-sized county chief, and 10,000 taels of silver is a fair price, so it is not considered a black Zheng Renji, after all, he is only an eight-rank official.
Li Wenxuan, who replaced him in this operation, knew very well in his heart. If Zheng Renji is allowed to run it himself, it will cost at least three or five thousand taels of silver. Even if all goes well and he is allowed to take office, he may not be able to complete his term. The other party has his backstage to support, and can he end it after only one term?
After leaving the hall of the house and entering the second gate, Li Wenxuan, who believed that Zheng Renji was an understanding person and would not be unaware of all this. If he can find himself by sending the sisters of the Chu family, then it shows that he knows that if he wants to get things done, he can't just talk about it, but he has to do something real. Everything has to pay a corresponding price, after all, there is no good thing in this world to let it take advantage of in vain. (To be continued......)
