There are so many officials in the court, if you refuse directly, I am afraid that it will not be good for him to turn his head and take refuge with other princes, after all, as soon as the matter of moving to Kuanxiang is over, the ministers will be allowed to set up the prince's affairs, and at least add an additional piece of support to the emperor's desk at that time. Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Test" Seeing that Su Hexu was still hesitating, Li Beiguang continued.

Su Hexu groaned slightly, feeling that what Li Beiguang said was quite reasonable, so he left an antique from Zheng Shihai and accepted his refuge.

After returning from King Gong's banquet drunk, Zheng Shihai felt that the promotion was not far away, so he packed his bags and returned to Yuanzhou with his son. It was already midnight when he arrived at the Thorn Mansion, and Zheng Shihai walked straight into the study with a tired body.

The housekeeper knocked on the door and asked, "Master, do you want to eat first or bathe first?" Zheng Shihai replied: "Don't worry, find an abacus first." “

Zheng Sicheng asked on the side, "Does my father still have any accounts that have not been settled?"

Zheng Shihai shook his abacus, sighed and said, "Although this trip has come down, the promotion is a bit eyebrow-raising. But the expenses before and after this were too great, and on the way back, I thought about it a little in my heart, and I had already spent nearly 503,700 gold, not including the land given to Li Beiguang. “

Zheng Sicheng said: "We also said that Li Beiguang couldn't be fed, this time it seems." It turned out that we had given less before, and this time this land will be sold for two million gold. Fortunately, a few years ago, my father had the heart to find someone to enclose the land, so that it could be turned from a fertile land into an unmanaged wasteland. “

Zheng Shihai snorted from his nose and said: "Father tells you, these officials are all a virtue, just to see that he is bold and small, this King Gong is cowardly, and he also saved us a fortune, that little golden Buddha is only 20,000 gold, Li Beiguang is too bold, as long as we send it, he will not return it." It cost him a full 410,000 gold. “

Zheng Sicheng on the side looked at the account book on the abacus, raised his head for a while and said: "A total of 503,730 gold, and my father only calculated 30 gold wrong, my father's memory is really good, I don't need to read it to remember it clearly." “

"Not a penny is hard to come by. It's hard to calculate, sooner or later, this money will go back to the father's purse. Zheng Shihai lay back and said relaxedly.

Zheng Sicheng put down his abacus and said: "Actually, if my father really went to Nanyang City to take up a post, although it is said that he has been promoted in rank and glorified his ancestors, it is difficult to make money, where is it so easy at the feet of the Son of Heaven as here, when will the money be recovered?"

Zheng Shihai nodded and said: "I definitely can't expect the future, if I really go to Nanyang City to use more places to use money, Dali Temple will only return to my hometown after the New Year, this little half a year has to be in Yuanzhou here to make up for it, after all, it is our territory, and it is convenient to be familiar with some things." “

Then the father and son conspired without eating, since Feng Hechuan's private levy broke out, the people have become more shrewd in taxation, and the imperial court is also keeping an eye on it, it is almost impossible to play tricks on taxation.

After thinking about it a few times, Zheng Shihai and his son decided to find a way to get an income on the land, and if they have something that can have income every year from the land, even if they go to Nanyang City in the future, they can have an income every year if they have to become a Qing official. Don't worry about it.

In the end, they thought that they could take the opportunity to move Kuanxiang to move thousands of families in the Yuanzhou territory to Kuanxiang and pour out a large area of fertile land from the hands of the people, which was a matter of killing three birds with one stone. Not only can you perfectly complete the matter of moving to Kuanxiang as explained by King Gong and earn political achievements, but you can also make a lot of money, and the promotion will also be determined.

But Zheng Shihai had a headache again, it was not easy for the people to move from the current fertile hometown to the sparsely populated Kuanxiang, and the ordinary people took out the imperial court's edict and forced them to move out.

But those rich gentry and strong are only afraid that it will be difficult to move, Zheng Shihai has not received less benefits from the rich and powerful over the years, and since ancient times, Zheng Shihai has not been ruthless against these cash cows. However, these rich gentry have a large amount of fertile land in their hands, and if these rich gentry do not move, it will not be easy for some small rich people to move.

In the next few days, Zheng Shihai was thinking hard about this solution, and finally let him come up with it. He decided to unite with the rich gentry and powerful people in Yuanzhou, ostensibly let them move their families to Kuanxiang, and they could get as much land in Kuanxiang as they do now, but privately returned their land in Kuanxiang in a way that was not easy for others to notice, so that these powerful people could not only get the land in Kuanxiang, but also not lose the land in the narrow township.

This method is really a good prescription, which concealed the imperial court and deceived the people, and soon the matter of Yuanzhou's relocation to Kuanxiang was implemented on a large scale.

Zheng Shihai presented the implementation situation to Su Hexu, and Su Hexu was amazed when he saw it, this is the most smooth area in the narrow township to implement the relocation of Kuan Township. In other places, various problems arose to a greater or lesser extent when the relocation of the townships was carried out, and some people were afraid that there was less land for compensation. In some places, the rich gentry and the powerful did not obey the orders of the imperial court yamen at all, but in Yuanzhou alone, seven or eight thousand households were moved in two or three months, and none of the rich gentry and strong people made trouble, and the people were very satisfied.

This made Su Hexu's heart flutter, and he immediately presented the situation to the emperor, and Su and Jingshuo greatly praised Su Hexu after seeing the performance, and at the same time asked about the situation of Zheng Shihai, the assassin of Yuanzhou.

Su Hexu said: "This person is a rare good official, a pair of boots have been worn for several years, and his clothes are also very simple and shabby. He thinks about the people in everything and is a good official. “

Wu Yong also took the opportunity to say: "Xiaguan received praise from the people of Yuanzhou not long ago, and thousands of people recommended Lord Zheng with their real names, hoping that the imperial court would promote Lord Zheng. As he spoke, Wu Yong handed over the praise sheet.

Soon the matter of moving to Kuanxiang reached the stage of acceptance, and Zheng Shihai originally thought that the most important thing was to let the household department Shangshu or the household squire come to accept it. I didn't care much about it, because Wang Yingke of the Hubu Shangshu was King Gong's person, and he had already seen it at the last banquet, so he would definitely not embarrass himself and King Gong.

But when he opened the official document submitted by the little official, Zheng Shihai couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. The official document was sent by Wang Yingke, the secretary of the household department, and it informed him that the leader of Yuanzhou's acceptance and relocation of Qiankuan Township was Cao Renjun. Zheng Shihai panicked now, this Cao Renjun is a guy who doesn't recognize his six relatives, even the emperor dares to confront him in person, how can he send this great god this time.

The matter of Yuanzhou's relocation to Kuanxiang was praised by the emperor. If Cao Renjun came over and saw any flaws, not only would the dream of promotion be shattered, but it was difficult to say whether the black gauze hat on his head could be kept. In the next few days, Zheng Shihai was worried that he couldn't eat or sleep well, and the corners of his mouth were blistered.

Before Zheng Shihai could figure out how to deal with Cao Renjun, the inside story of Yuanzhou's Qiankuan Township was broken. The original cause of the incident was the dispute between the rich gentry Leopard Ye and Min Guodong in Bingxian County. This leopard master's original name was Bao Guishan, and he was originally the head of the yamen in Bin County, and after Feng Youchuan was sentenced, he was also kicked out of the yamen, so he had to return home to help the family collect land rent.

His family was originally a small rich man, he himself was a person from the government, as he went home and slowly ran the family business, the family business is getting bigger and bigger, and slowly became one of the richest gentry in Bin County, this time moving to Kuan Township, Zheng Shihai also let him ostensibly hand over the land of the narrow township and moved to Kuan Township, and secretly wrote a large piece of fertile land in Bin County in the name of his slave and returned it to him, and there is a piece of land in Min Guodong's land.

Min Guodong is the cousin of Wu Yong's wife, when Wu Yong took his wife to Nanyang City, and gave the old house where he and his wife used to live to this cousin, Min Guodong has always admired his cousin-in-law, and returned to his hometown after taking the Jinshi in the scientific examination, and used Wu Yong's gift to expand and renovate the old house into a private school, and also became a teacher in Bin County, and he is also the same high temper.

When Min Guodong handed over the land, he specially confessed that the land could be handed over but not the house. gave his cousin and cousin-in-law a homecoming, and the scholars also had the plot of returning to their roots, plus Wu Yong and Min Guodong had a high reputation among the people of Binxian County, so Li Zheng, where Min Guodong was located, agreed to Min Guodong's request.

But the leopard master didn't know the inside story here, even if he knew, he didn't care about the hypocrisy of the scholar at all, he pushed Min Guodong's private school and Wu Yong's old house together on this land, ready to build a magnificent new house, and called some of his fox friends to celebrate.

After Min Guodong found out, he found Bao Guishan to reason with him, saying that he demolished Wu's old house because of Wu Yong's deliberate revenge on the matter of surrounding the ya.

Bao Guishan didn't care whose land it was. After hearing that it was Wu Yong's old house, he immediately jumped up happily: "Yes! If it weren't for the sour scholar back then, I wouldn't have been implicated, maybe I'm still an official in the yamen, and it's his house that will be demolished! Don't think that I'm afraid of him when he is an official in the court now, I don't violate the law or break the law by building a house on my own land." What's not to do?!"

Min Guodong was also angry when he heard that someone insulted his cousin like this, and soon the two fought, Min Guodong, a scholar, was definitely not as ruthless as the leopard master, and he was seriously injured in a few strokes.

This angered the students of Min Guodong and Wu Yong, and hundreds of students spontaneously came to Nanyang City to find Wu Yong and handed over a complaint, saying that the matter of Yuanzhou's relocation to Kuan Township was completely a scam by Zheng Shihai, who deceived the upper and lower levels, and fooled the court and the people. Wu Yong forwarded the complaint to the emperor. Suhe Jingshuo immediately appointed Chen Yanbu and Wu Yong to investigate the matter thoroughly.

After Li Beiguang heard the news, he immediately sent someone to Yuanzhou to report to Zheng Shihai, Zheng Sicheng was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and Gao Yuncheng, who had been a long history, was also flustered, Zheng Shihai sneered and said: "The old man has been in Yuanzhou for so many years, and a Min Guodong can make a splash? Since Wu Yong and Min Guodong are so not promoted, I will serve him both together at once, don't think that Wu Yong will not be able to cure him if he leaves Yuanzhou and becomes an official!"

Zheng Shihai quickly came up with a countermeasure, he asked Bao Guishan to bury a few jars of silver coins under Wu's old house, and then dug out the money jar in public when digging the foundation of the house, and then asked Bao Guishan to take the money jar to report to the official.
