Wang Zhushu stroked his beard and glanced at the gift presented by Xie Chuanfeng, the top is a house deed, the big characters are very clear, it is a house in Wuyi Lane, Stone Town, Jinling Mansion, the house in that kind of place is expensive for any house, not to mention the big words on the top, it is clearly a mansion covering an area of eleven acres.

Master Wang glanced at Xie Chuanfeng, who was talking exaggeratedly, and his eyes narrowed slightly: "It's very arrogant!" A steward, even if he is up and down, and makes a profit from it, can he make so much wealth in just a few years? ”

Master Wang didn't listen to what Xie Chuanfeng was talking about at all, and decided whether he would accept this generous gift, or whether to agree to be Xie Chuanfeng's backstage, and the key to winning a place for Xie Chuanfeng in post road transportation was not the gift itself, but who gave this gift.

Master Wang secretly calculated that Xie Chuanfeng was driven away by the Tian family, which should be just a pretense, and it was also a means for the Tian family to clear themselves, this Xie Chuanfeng is likely to be a flag arranged by the Tian family to Huxian County, so I accept this generous gift and stand on the boat of the Tian family.

Wang Zhushu thought nervously, Zhao Wenyuan was a member of the Yang family in Banzhou, Ye Xiaotian was said to be the son-in-law of the Xia family in Hongfenghu, and this Xie Chuanfeng was a member of the Tian family, it seemed that the Tusi had seen through the imperial court's intention to use Huxian as a breakthrough and try to expand the control of Guizhou.

And the imperial court sat back and watched these three forces put their hands into Huxian, obviously a series of measures to try to control Huxian County in the past three years have failed repeatedly, the imperial court has been disheartened, even if it has not given up the idea of controlling Guizhou, at least for the time being, it can only continue to maintain the consistent system of Guizhou since the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than 100 years, which is temporarily possible for a country, ten years, eight years, fifty years and one hundred years, in this case, where should I go?

Master Wang secretly thought to himself: "Originally, in Huxian, I can divide the world into three parts. It's because I have a good relationship with Gao and Li. But they wooed me in the hope that I would be able to play a role in resisting a series of imperial decrees that tried to control Huxian.

Nowadays, the imperial court has rarely made any moves, and my influence on them is getting smaller and smaller. The most important thing is that the Yang, Tian, and Xia families have begun to meddle in Huxian County, and my biggest reliance is no longer enough to be called a reliance, when the time comes, Huazhi County will stand behind the imperial court, Xu County will stand behind the Tian family, and Ye Dianshi will stand behind the Xia family, will there be a place for my Wang Ning to live in Huxian? ”

Xie Chuanfeng finished speaking. Seeing that the king's master seemed to be leisurely distracted, he asked tentatively, "My lord?" ”

"Oh? Oh! ”

Wang Zhushu quickly made a decision: "The imperial court has the intention of retreating, once Huxian is abandoned, Hua Qingfeng as a two-list jinshi, seven products of the seal, the imperial court must have other arrangements, but my Wang Ning needs to find a way out, now Yang, Tian, Xia three families, only the Tian family not only fought for the position of a county, but also sent people to snatch the control of the post road." It seems that I am determined to win, so I will take refuge in the Tian family! ”

Thinking of this, Master Wang smiled and said, "Okay! In that case, the ruler will grant you. Huxian County has few land and poor people. Post road transportation is related to the livelihood of many people in this county, although you do it well, the official will try his best to make it convenient for you. ”

Xie Chuanfeng couldn't help but be surprised and delighted when he heard it, and he vaguely proposed to sell tea, spices, jewelry and other things. Originally, I didn't expect Wang Ning to agree. These goods are at least ten times more profitable, but they are also risky.

Purchasing jewelry from the south, the post road that runs through Guizhou can transport the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. It can also be sold to the West through Qu Sichuan. The Western Fan Tantra likes to decorate the Buddha statue hall with precious treasures, the eight treasures are solemn, and the incense is reverent, so as to resemble the Western Heavens. This kind of atmosphere has now spread to Taoism, and Taoist statues have also begun to pay attention to gold and jade wrapping, and pray for it. And the monks are the richest, and these exotic jewels are in great demand.

As for spices, not only Buddhism and Taoism are in the strongest demand, but the wealthy families in the Central Plains also have a large demand for spices, these things are huge profits, of course, taxes are also high, so if you want to make more money, you can only smuggle, and if you want to smuggle, you need someone from the government to respond.

And the most important goods are tea, Ming Dynasty tea can be supervised as a strategic material, because the land does not produce tea, they rely on tea to live, so the imperial court established strict law management, with tea to make the death of the people, strong China's fence, so smuggling tea is heavier than tax evasion.

Xie Chuanfeng proposed this article, originally intended to be vetoed when the Wang master book bargained, and it was easier to agree to help him smuggle jewelry and spices and other conditions, but he didn't want the Wang master book to agree to all of them, Xie Chuanfeng was naturally overjoyed.

Xie Chuanfeng's goal has been achieved, and he thanked him again and again and said goodbye to the king master, who quietly put the generous gift into his sleeve and politely sent him out of the door. As soon as Master Wang sent Xie Chuanfeng out of the gate, he was about to turn back to his signature room, when he suddenly saw a few people with blue noses and swollen faces breaking into the courtyard and hurriedly rushing to the second hall.

Master Wang's brows furrowed, secretly a little strange. Since the fall of Qimu, the prestige of Huxian Catcher in the people has been greatly improved, and it is no longer the same as before.

The king beckoned a guard to the door and asked, "What happened?" ”

As soon as the official saw the master of the master asking, he hurriedly said: "Back to the master of the book, those few arresters were arrested with Xu County Cheng into the mountain to mediate the dispute between Gao and Li villages, and the result was ...... For some reason, Xu Xiancheng was detained by Li Jiazhai, and they fled back, saying that Xu Xiancheng was in danger of his life. ”

"Oh!"

The king's face changed slightly, and he waved his hand, and the official retreated. The king immediately returned to the signing room, and instructed his scrivener, Lao Cai, to his scrivener: "Someone from the official's family has just come to report that the fourth lady of the official is unwell, and the official will go back and take a look." ”

Lao Cai agreed, and the king went back to the inner room to change into a plain robe, and left the county office in a hurry.

Hua Qingfeng heard that Xu Xiancheng was detained by Li Jiazhai, and was immediately stunned. Since Ye Xiaotian killed Qi Mu and defeated the number one bully in Hu County, Huazhi County has not had such a mud-like state for a long time.

Xu Boyi went to the mountain to mediate, why was he detained by Li Jiazhai? Speaking of Xu Boyi is quite cautious, after entering the mountain, he first met with a group of people from Gaojiazhai who were leading people to besiege Lijiazhai, and the people of Gaojiazhai heard that he came to mediate the dispute between the two villages, and he was polite, Xu Boyi saw the owner of Gao Laozhai, and after listening to the owner of Gao Laozhai told the cause and effect of the two villages, he went to Lijiazhai to understand the situation.

Actually, the whole thing is very simple. It is because of the long period of no rain, Huxian County drought, Gaojiazhai in the upper reaches of the river cut off the river to meet the water for the people of the village. As a result, the drought in Lijiazhai, which is in the lower reaches of the Laodao River, is even worse, and the two sides failed to negotiate, so one dug the embankment by force and the other protected the embankment by force, so they formed a grudge.

Xu Boyi figured out the reason, so he gathered the two village owners together and said: "Two village owners, it doesn't matter if you live upstream or downstream. It is because of this river that our ancestors settled here, and the water of this river is a godsend, and the people on both sides of the river, both upstream and downstream, have the right to enjoy it.

Now there is a great drought and no rain, and the river is plummeting, if you both use it, although it will not meet the irrigation requirements. But life is hard, but there may not be people dying of thirst and starvation, and if you continue to resort to force in this way, you will inevitably suffer death and injury. This is a matter of importance. Don't you understand? In my opinion, it is better for you to divide the river equally. ”

The lord of the high village glared at Xu Boyi and said: "Our village is short of water, the ground has cracked one by one, and the crops are about to die. A ladle of water was poured down, and the ground was not wet and the shadow disappeared. Now the water flows in front of us, but you want us not to take it? Share. And how do you divide it evenly? ”

Xu Boyi smiled slightly, and said: "This is easy to do, according to the number of the population of your two villages, if the population of your village is fifty percent of the population of Lijiazhai, then twelve hours a day, there are eight hours to let go of Lijiazhai, during this period, Gaojiazhai is not allowed to take a drop." For the remaining four hours, you will be allowed to cut off the river and use it completely by Gaojiazhai. That's the fairest thing to do. ”

When the owner of Gaozhai heard this, how could he agree, in terms of population, their village was less than Lijiazhai, and it was clear that they lived in the upstream, but they had to give up 20% more water to the people downstream? It's not enough for them to use all the water in this river! Besides, Lijiazhai lives downstream, because it is closer to the outside of the mountains, and there are many migrant workers among the clansmen, so the number of mountain fields opened up is not as large as their village. ”

Xu Boyi had no selfish intentions in this matter, he hoped to properly resolve the matter, so as to establish his prestige in one fell swoop, but this plan was strongly opposed by Gaojiazhai, so he adopted another method, that is, according to the number of acres of land owned by the two villages to divide the water, this statement was naturally resolutely opposed by Li Jiazhai.

Xu Boyi was kind and good-spoken, and tried his best to come up with a plan that satisfied the people of the two villages, but the owners of the two villages were because of the arrival of Xu Xiancheng, who was in charge of justice, and mentioned the deaths and injuries in the fight, Xu Boyi's good temper gradually exhausted, and seeing that the two owners of the village had to make an inch, they wanted to use the official authority to kill the chickens and monkeys, first prosecute the people involved in the case, deter the villagers on both sides, and then discuss the issue of water use.

He thought that there were people in the two villages who wanted to be arrested, which can be described as impartial, and the two owners of the villages should agree, but there was one of them, Li Bohao, who was the biological son of the owner of the village, how could the owner of the village Li agree? Besides, if Gaojiazhai doesn't cut off the river, will Lijiazhai go to fight?

Xu Boyi looked selfless with an iron face, but the owner of Li Zhai was furious, and immediately ordered someone to arrest Xu Boyi, beat those few arresters and release them out of the mountain, and spread the word that the county master of Huxian County would give them a fair explanation of Li Jiazhai, otherwise they would directly seek justice from the imperial court.

When Hua Qingfeng heard "directly seek justice from the court", it was like a scoop of ice water splashed from head to foot: seeking justice from the court? How do they seek justice from the imperial court? Hua Qingfeng had no master, and hurriedly ordered the human: "Go quickly, please ask the king to discuss the matter." ”

After a while, the yacha reported: "The master has something to do at home, and he has left the yamen." ”

Hua Qingfeng gritted her teeth, and ordered someone to go to Wang Ning's house to call people, but the official went to the palace to inquire, and the Wang family said that the fourth lady was suffering from an emergency, and there was no good doctor in Huxian County.

When the official returned to the county office, Hua Qingfeng was so angry that he smoked: "This old bastard! This old fox! ”

Hua Qingfeng wandered around the second hall for a long time, and in desperation, he had to order: "Go, please ask Ye Dianshi to come, this official has something important to discuss with him." ”

The errand officer went to the front of the history room again, and came back after a while to report: "Master, the master of the history said that if the master needs stationery supplies here, just send someone to order, no matter how tight the county's finances are, it will not make you have a shortage of the four treasures of the study."

As for other things, because the county lord has already issued an order, the master of the history can't do anything, since it is an important matter, the master of the history does not dare to accept it, so as not to miss the big thing, or please decide for yourself! ”

That yacha was originally a person from the history room, and was urgently transferred by Hua Qingfeng before Ye Xiaotian arrived, so he spoke in a weird manner. Hua Qingfeng was furious when she heard this, and shouted: "Bastard! The county summoned him to discuss matters, did he dare to come? ”

The yacha said slowly: "The old man also said that if the county lord is angry, please ask the villain to return to the county lord, and if he is in his position and has no power, if he is not in his position, he will seek his government, which is out of order and exceeds the law, so ...... The old man of the history did not dare to take the order! ”

Hua Qing's eyes were so angry that she sat down on the chair, and a hint of ridicule flashed in the eyes of the yacha, and she bowed down and said, "If the lord doesn't have other orders, the villain will retreat." ”

Hua Qingfeng ignored him, was stunned for a while, slowly raised his head, his eyes shot a resolute brilliance, and said to himself in a deep voice: "The first thing to be an official is to be patient!" I endure! Xu Tu is self-reliant! If you don't come to see me, I'll see you! ”

Hua Qingfeng stood up and strode out!

: Ask for a monthly pass, a recommended ticket!.
