Chapter 152: Tian Peng arrives

Yinggao should have known that he is very close to Fusu, and it can be said that he is a descendant of Fusu. What does it mean to write a letter to yourself?

Chen Sheng quietly put the letter aside, and did not immediately open it to read. Seeing Chen Sheng like this, Wu Shaohai knew that it was unlikely to continue the conversation tonight, and after the two were polite again, Wu Shaohai said goodbye. Chen Sheng politely sent Wu Shaohai out of the mansion before turning around. The two said goodbye with a smile on their faces.

Just turned around, Wu Shaohai's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.

"This kid has a lot of appetite! Hum! Wu Shaohai said secretly in his heart. I don't look down on the benefits I give, and I don't give you a high face. This guy is very dragged, quite good! If it was placed in the area of Longxi, Wu Shaohai would have already gone crazy in front of Chen Sheng, and he would have taught this county guard who didn't know what to do a good or bad lesson to. But in Fujian, the family power is beyond the reach of the whip, and he does not dare to act rashly. accidentally angered Chen Sheng. He was sent by that guy to do it, and threw it into the barren mountains and mountains, saying that he was killed by the natives or killed by fierce beasts, which is easy to explain.

Back in the study, Chen Sheng didn't immediately open the letter to read. He was wondering what Yinggao would say in the letter. But no matter what the content is, it must be inseparable from the meaning of showing favor and wooing Chen Sheng.

Sending a letter to Chen Sheng through Wu Shaohai, Yinggao had already secretly sent a message to Chen Sheng, Longxi Wujia had a good relationship with him, and his strength was stronger than Fusu. After giving enough psychological hints, it doesn't really matter what the content is.

Only a faint smile appeared on Chen Sheng's face. Cooperating with the Wu family is of great help to both him and Minzhong County. For the sake of the economic balance in Fujian, it is impossible for him to let the Ling family dominate, and there must be a family of checks and balances. Of course, it is impossible for the Wu family to take away so many monopoly rights in Fujian with a few words. Before reaping the benefits, the Wu family must know how to bleed heavily.

Silver mines, fishery, timber, etc., these can actually be handed over to the Wu family to operate. The Ling family is deeply rooted in Ba County, and their main energy is focused on their own cinnabar mine, although the rest of the business has developed, but because there are not many people in the family who can really do things, it is difficult to free up their hands and feet to take over so many business opportunities in Minzhong County. Even if he could, I believe that Chen Sheng would not be willing to look at this situation. The Wu family originally focused on animal husbandry, and then digested the products of various places by transportation and sales, and had a unique advantage in transportation trade. Chen Sheng is happy to cooperate with the Wu family to a certain extent. If you can meet your own needs and increase taxes for the national treasury, why not?

After pondering for a while, Chen Sheng opened Yinggao's letter, and after a while, he put a playful smile on his face, threw the book on his desk, and continued to deal with government affairs. After dealing with all the things at hand, stretching a lazy waist, and yawning comfortably, Chen Sheng rang a small bronze bell on his desk. The steward Lao Liu immediately walked in from outside, bowed down and asked, "My lord, what are your orders?" ”

Chen Sheng said: "Tomorrow, the county governor and the county lieutenant will go to Dongye, Li Zuoche organized a lot of nobles and villagers to greet him at the city gate, you help me make an appointment with Wu Shaohai, and let him go to the dust washing banquet tomorrow." When Chen Sheng said this, a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

……

"What the hell is this Chen Sheng doing?" Wu Shaohai returned to the inn on the front foot, and when he was still sulking, he received an invitation from the county keeper. The two did not make any progress in the negotiation at the private banquet, and now they are so warmly invited to the banquet, this Chen Sheng is too repeated, right?

"Steward Li, prepare a heavy gift, and after the banquet tomorrow, send it to the county guard's mansion." Wu Shaohai thought for a while, and finally remembered that it might be that Chen Sheng had changed his mind after reading the letter from the second son. Wu Shaohai still has great confidence in the ability of the second son. Otherwise, my father would not have let go of the creed that businessmen are not involved in politics and vigorously supported the second son.

"Young master, the gift has been prepared before." The old steward leaned over and said.

"Chen Sheng's appetite is too big." Wu Shaohai said coldly: "Pick out thirty of the singers who are going to be sent to Xianyang and add them to the gift list." Wu Shaohai said. Chen Sheng doesn't seem to be able to eat oil and salt, but he doesn't believe that the young and strong Chen Sheng, even if he is not greedy for money, should be lustful, right? Thinking of this, a reserved smile appeared on Wu Shaohai's face again.

"Yes." The old steward bowed and replied, but his heart was extremely surprised. This group of singers was bought at a large price in various places since childhood, and they have received various singing and dancing etiquette training since they were young, and they are all worth thousands of gold. It was a gift used by the Wu family to give to the nobles of the imperial court. Even if it was given to Prime Minister Li Si, it was only ten people, but when it was given to Chen Sheng, thirty were sold, which had to make the steward's heart suddenly ripple. He also secretly made up his mind in his heart, since the young master was so deliberately stammering Chen Sheng, then he had to choose the best singer.

"Hmph, I don't believe it, I can't hit you kid." The slightly depressed look on Wu Shaohai's face was swept away, and he began to think about how to maximize the wealth after winning the monopoly rights of several goods in Fujian.

Chen Sheng didn't know Wu Shaohai's calculations at this time. But he wasn't in a good mood.

As soon as he fell asleep, the housekeeper Lao Liu came to knock on the door. Chen Sheng was angry in his heart, it was almost the third watch, why didn't he let people sleep? However, he also knows that in this era, there is no fixed daily commuting time, there is no processing fee for overtime work, and there may not be rewards for doing a good job. Being an official is not easy. He struggled to his feet and asked the steward what was the matter.

Lao Liu said expectantly outside: "Someone from outside the house has come to visit again." ”

Chen Sheng's brows twisted again, and he said angrily: "Is it Wu Shaohai again?" Tell him that he should be sleepy. Tomorrow please be early. ”

"No, it's not." hurriedly defended and said: "It's a teenager, and he said that he was the junior brother of an adult, so he ......."

"Tian Peng? Why did he come to Minzhong at this time? Chen Sheng quickly turned over and got out of bed, fumbling with his clothes, and said, "Don't invite him in yet!" ”

Chen Sheng had received a letter from his teacher before, and learned that Tian Peng had joined the Black Water Pavilion and became a member of the Imperial Intelligence Department. If there is nothing important, he will definitely not come to Fujian at this time. So his anger suddenly subsided, and he beckoned Tian Peng to come in.
