Chapter 122: Harmony Makes Money
A few days later, Li Wenxuan once again received an invitation from Liu Wenjing to go to the county yamen to discuss matters by himself. He has always been punctual, and he did not appear late in the other party's office. Liu Wenjing, who was full of spring breeze, arranged for his subordinates to serve him good tea. He was not in a hurry to talk about things, so he first chatted with Li Wenxuan while having tea, and talked about some so-called "flesh and blood" words. Li Wenxuan, who has a lot in his heart, knows that the local parents and officials will not be idle to talk to themselves.
It didn't take long for Liu Wenjing to cut to the point and exclaimed: "Virtuous brother, hard work." Squire Lin, righteousness. If you hadn't persuaded your father-in-law, the streets of the city would not have been restored to the prosperity and tranquility of the sunset. ”
Li Wenxuan, who reacted immediately, understood that Ye Erniang of Baihualou had taken the path of the prefect Qian Mingzheng, so that Lin Zhengbei had no choice but to endure it. He believes that this Baihualou, since he has found a hard enough backstage, then the situation has naturally changed completely.
Why didn't Baihualou come to a Jedi counterattack? Li Wenxuan guessed that Qian Mingzheng, who didn't want to stimulate the Lin family too much and cause the opposite effect, so as to force the other party too much, must have drawn a red line for Ye Erniang. She's within the red line she has drawn, so he's in charge. If she dared to step on the line, he would leave it alone.
As for the other party, Lin Zhengbei, who is not stunned, even if he is unwilling in his heart, he has to give Qian Ming, the prefect of the office, a face, after all, the rich do not fight with the officials. And Liu Wenjing, who didn't know that there was a lot of articles here, naturally put the credit on Li Wenxuan's head. Li Wenxuan, who picked up a big bargain for nothing, was not polite, let alone explained the key to this matter, but accepted it happily.
Seeing that the incident was resolved peacefully, Liu Wenjing attached more and more importance to having a good relationship with him and said: "Brother Xian, if you are free, you can come to the county yamen to walk around." In this way, first, we can be closer to each other, and second, the foolish brother still has to negotiate with you about some local affairs. ”
"Brother Liu, you are too modest. The younger brother knows that you are very proficient in government affairs. Li Wenxuan, who believed that there was modesty and politeness in his words, did not get fluttering, and said with a smirk: "If you can use me, you can afford it." Naturally, I will not shirk what I can. ”
"If the local gentry are as sensible as their virtuous brothers, my parents and officials in this place will be able to drink wine every day and recite poems right." Liu Wenjing, who was smiling, knew that if he wanted to do a good job in the local area, he had to have a good relationship with the local situation. He is not without the truth, and he can be described as open and honest: "In the future, I will have to continue to bother you to make more efforts in this regard." ”
Li Wenxuan, who has a bright heart and a bright eye, knows the relationship between himself and him, and the good thing is that it is the relationship between the officials and gentry who cooperate in governing the locality, and the bad thing is that the officials and gentry use each other and collude with each other. They both understand that they are not helping the government and the court to govern good places, but helping private individuals.
This time, Li Wenxuan can be regarded as solving a troublesome matter for Liu Wenjing, so the other party owes him a favor. In the future, when he needs to find the other party for something, he has to repay his personal debt. For thousands of years, people have recognized each other for the existence of such established facts and relationships.
Half an hour passed, and Li Wenxuan, who got up to say goodbye, left the county yamen. He felt that the ghost sky was getting hotter and hotter, and he clearly remembered that it hadn't rained for more than half a month. Li Wenxuan, who couldn't ride a horse and was not used to sitting in a sedan chair, had to go home under the scorching sun.
Li Wenxuan, who really didn't want to go back and forth again, was full of contradictions and helplessness in his heart. If no one is looking for him, it is a great sadness, and at this time, someone is looking for it, but it is really hard. This is not only a matter of sweating, but also a question of how to speak, how to think, and how to weigh.
A small sedan chair stopped next to Li Wenxuan. Ye Erniang, who opened the sedan curtain and walked out, held this silk fan in her right hand, and said with a smile: "I originally said that I was going to your house, but I didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence." It is said that this election day is better than hitting the sun, or let's go to the teahouse in front of us to sit down? ”
Li Wenxuan, who knew that Dao was not just drinking tea, wanted to know what conditions she had to take down Qian Mingzheng. He didn't refuse, and smiled: "I'm also tired and thirsty, and I just want to find a place to rest and drink." ”
Ye Erniang, who did not re-enter the sedan chair and continued to sit down, walked with him. Not far in front of the two, a banner with the word "tea" was prominently hung on the flagpole. They walked in, and were led by the shopkeeper to a private room and sat down with each other.
Two cups of good Biluochun, four-color dried fruits were all on the shop Xiaoer, after leaving, Ye Erniang was grateful and said: "This time, my Baihualou can save the day, all thanks to Li Daochang's guidance." Otherwise, this piece of family business that I have worked so hard to earn will be in vain. ”
"I didn't do anything for the landlord, I just said it casually. Baihualou can turn the corner from danger to safety, or it all depends on the master's clever methods. can convince Qian Mingzheng's heroine, I'm afraid you should be the first person. "Li Wenxuan, who does not have a big trust, is both modest and realistic.
Ye Erniang, who wanted to get closer to him, said without pretending to be polite: "Since Li Daochang knows Lu Dao, then Erniang has nothing to hide from you." In order to get Qian Mingzheng to agree, it really took me a lot of thought. He didn't want any money, any beauties, but asked for a list of officials who stayed with me for the night. Not only that, but they also asked me in detail about their various habits, secretly paid more attention, and reported to him at any time. ”
Li Wenxuan, who heard her say this, touched his chin and made an inference. Qian Mingzheng's purpose in doing so should be to strengthen his control over his subordinate officials. The law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that officials are not allowed to stay at the door of prostitution at night. If there is a violator, how to deal with Yunyun. Although there is such a provision, in fact, it has been repeatedly prohibited, and it has gradually become a matter of being mishandled by officials.
However, not being taken seriously by officials does not mean that there is no legal basis to follow. If it is really used by someone with a heart, it is also a powerful weapon. will not think that Qian Ming is the righteous Li Wenxuan, I believe that the real purpose of his move is to make his subordinates obedient and still at his mercy. Otherwise, they will use this as a weapon to ask for their respective futures.
"With the support of the prefect Qian Baihualou, then you can continue to open the door and do business. As long as Qian Mingzheng is still in the prefect's office, then the Lin family will naturally not come to you again to trouble Baihualou. Li Wenxuan, who basically understood the inside story, knew that he couldn't ask more about this kind of thing: "Harmony makes money." ”
Ye Erniang, who was worried, did not tell lies in front of real people and said: "Now, I am not worried that the Lin family will find fault, but that after Qian Mingzheng leaves office, where should Baihualou go?" In addition, the shady cooperation between me and Qian Mingzheng really made me scared. If the matter between me and him is leaked out, the local officials, large and small, will definitely tear down the Baihualou and kill me, after all, no one likes to put their handle in the hands of others. ”
Li Wenxuan, who knew that she was telling the truth, took a sip of tea and said, "The words of the landlord are indeed true." Now, you might as well be bolder. If anyone dares to trouble you, you can also use the shady black accounts of the officials to coerce and lure you, so that they can help you settle things. Even if Qian Mingzheng leaves office in the future, he can also contain the Lin family from attacking your Baihualou. ”
"It stands to reason that we are not related, and today is only the third time we have met, and why do you want to help me like this?" Ye Erniang, who naturally had concerns in her heart, looked at him and asked seriously.
Li Wenxuan, who didn't give any explanation, asked with a faint smile: "Then let me ask you, why did you find me instead of anyone else?" ”
"Because we have common enemies, you're the best person I've ever found." Ye Erniang, who wanted to get closer to him, was moved by the truth.
Li Wenxuan, who put down the teacup in his hand, wanted to continue to maintain a position of benefiting a fisherman, and said with a smile: "My relationship with the Lin family is too delicate, so I don't know whether Lin Zhengbei is an enemy or an in-law?" If you treat him as an enemy, then I naturally want to cooperate with the landlord. If I treat him as my own family, shouldn't it be bad for the landlord? ”
"If you really want to harm me, I'm afraid you won't show me the way to go to Qian Mingzheng, let alone ask me to use Qian Zimo to build a ladder." Ye Erniang, who has a flexible brain, has seen a lot of humanity with a pair of eyes.
"Since you don't think I'm going to hurt you, why should I help you? As you said, we are not related, and today is only the third time we have met. Li Wenxuan, who wanted to hear her answer in person, said seriously.
"Even if you marry the daughter of the Lin family, you still have a grudge against Lin Zhengbei. After all, he designed to harm you. The reason why it is inconvenient for you to make a direct move is that you are afraid of nothing more than living under the same roof and looking down to see Miss Lin, and the world's opinion and gaze on you, after all, this son-in-law has spread the words of his father-in-law, which is indeed not good to listen to and damage your reputation. Ye Erniang, who had mastered the inside story, pointed out sharply.
Li Wenxuan, who clapped his hands, really admired that the woman in front of him was really not simple, otherwise he would not have the ability to convince a character like Qian Mingzheng. He didn't hit Ha Luha, and he didn't deny it: "As the landlord said, it's true." ”
