She has just become an official, and she still bears the title of female champion, how many officials in the capital want to see her jokes. As soon as she came, she took advantage of the situation to squeeze the Tongzhi who came here first to become an official, and public opinion would definitely be difficult to hear.

There is no official who does not make money for himself, it is just a more or less problem, and there are very few officials with clean sleeves.

Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang's behavior is corrupt officials in her eyes, but this is normal in the eyes of other officials.

Even if she found out the evidence of their corruption and bribery from the accounts and handed them to the emperor to remove them, those officials in the court would not say that she was good. Maybe Xiao Qi will blame her for a lot of things.

As the emperor, doesn't Xiao Qi know that the officials below will make money and water? It's just that when the water is clear, there are no fish, as long as it is not greedy, and it is not full of complaints, he has to turn a blind eye.

Since Liu Hongyu was evaluated by Xiao Lingyan as an upright and good official, and he was capable, he would never tolerate Liu Hongyu and Chen Kang's greed for salt and grain.

And with everyone's acquiescence, she poked this matter out and pulled Cai Yaozong off the horse, and other officials in the court were afraid that everyone would be in danger. In the future, wherever she goes to be an official, she will be disliked, for fear that she will be stunned again and pull her colleagues off the horse.

Her moral character is not yet noble to that point, and she wants to be a "direct minister" who is the enemy of the entire court officials. She understands the truth that it is too rigid and easy to break. She cherishes her little life.

So if Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang are sincere, she will also take a step back and open the sky.

"No problem." Gan Lun said, "I told you how to do accounts some time ago, take this opportunity to review what we have said." ”

Zhao Ruxi looked at him and smiled: "Thank you, Master." ”

Kang Shilin's three old men are all old, plus there is also a Xiao Ruotong, the Zhu family did not avoid suspicion, and they were also receiving them in the main hall of the outer courtyard at this time.

Zhao Ruxi ordered someone to bring Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang to the side hall, so he handed Kang Shilin and them over to the Zhu family for entertainment, and went to the side hall by himself.

When she got there, she apologized first: "There are guests at home, so Master Cai and Chen Jingcheng have been waiting for a long time." I don't know what happened when the two of you came to look for me? ”

"When Mr. Deadwood and the others came, Chen Kang and I were both running errands outside, and we couldn't greet Mr. Deadwood. No, we took some Nanyang Tuyi from home and gave Mr. Deadwood a few things to taste and talk about it. Cai Yaozong pointed to a few clay instruments that Chen Kang had brought.

Chen Kang couldn't help but curse in his heart.

These things were all on his way here, and he specially asked his subordinates to run home to get them. Cai Yaozong came empty-handed, and now he actually takes possession of his things and treats them as his things, which is too stinky and shameless.

However, the two of them haven't torn their faces yet, and their status is not equal, so it's not good for him to refute Cai Yaozong directly, but he is not a dumb person who can suffer a dumb loss, so he raised his face and smiled: "Yes." ”

He pointed to the two jars of wine and said: "This is our unique rice wine here, fresh and sweet, fragrant, mellow and refreshing, it is a rare good wine, Lord Zhao must let Mr. Deadwood taste them." ”

He pointed to a bag of twenty catties and said: "This is our unique osmanthus fragrant glutinous and small red glutinous here, making glutinous rice food is the best, and making wine is the best." The two jars of rice wine are made from these glutinous rice. ”

"This is a river crab unique to Nanyang. It's not the fattest time of the season, but it's still a great time for Mr. Deadwood to try. ”

He introduced several clay instruments one by one.

Although these things were brought by his subordinates, he specially named them to ask for them. Chen Kangneng, with a cultural level that only knows a few words, runs such a big stall in Nanyang, black and white, both in terms of ability and dealing with people, it has its own uniqueness.

The earthen rituals he prepared were not worth a few dollars, but they could make people feel the intentions of the person who prepared the gifts.

It is precisely because it is worthless that Zhao Ruxi is not easy to refuse. As long as she accepted this gift, the relationship between him and Zhao Ruxi changed from the original sabre-rattling to relaxation.

In the future, if he comes back to Zhao Ruxi a few times, he will make it easier for Zhao Ruxi in official affairs, and the relationship between the two sides will become more and more intimate. Even if they can't cooperate, with such a friendship, if Zhao Ruxi really wants to settle accounts in the future, he will not be wiped out.

At the same time, because these things are carefully prepared as small gifts and are not valuable, it is impossible for him and Cai Yaozong to prepare them together. After his explanation, as long as Zhao Ruxi is smart, he must know what happened just now.

Zhao Ruxi listened to Chen Kang introduce these tuyi with a few treasures, and Cai Yaozong's face became darker and darker, where did she not know that the two were tired?

But her mind was no longer on the eyes of the two people and these things at this time.

Judging from the distance between Nanyang and the capital and Gusu, she faintly feels that this Nanyang is a bit like the modern Danyang; And Linjiang, where Wu Zong served, is geographically similar to modern Zhenjiang. But the two planes are different, this is just her speculation, there is no empirical evidence. Now listening to Chen Kang count the local specialties, she is even more sure of her guess.

As an official, no matter how long she has been in office, she wants to make some political achievements.

Compared with modern times, although there is no clear index of the performance of officials in ancient times, the requirements are basically the same, and they are all based on the growth of local economic development and the amount of taxes paid to the imperial court to measure whether an official is capable, rather than relying on the trick of "Wanmin Umbrella" as a standard.

But she walked around the street a few days ago, and went to Zhuangzi, a field outside the city, to take a turn, and the harvest was not big, and she had no clue how to improve the local economy.

Now that Chen Kang said this, after she was sure that this was Danyang, she had a little idea about how to develop Nanyang.

Whether this idea can be implemented or not, she will have to investigate further.

This rice wine has been praised by Chen Jingcheng, which shows that it is indeed good. It just so happened that my master, Master Gan, and Mr. Zhou liked to have a few drinks during their meals, and I would let them taste them after a while. If they like it, please tell me where to buy it, and I plan to buy some and send them to the capital as gifts. Zhao Ruxi said.

As soon as Chen Kang heard this, he knew that Zhao Ruxi understood where these gifts came from, and he breathed a sigh of relief and rejoiced in his heart.

He was most worried that this aristocratic lady was so arrogant that she couldn't find a common topic between them, so no matter how hard he tried, the relationship between the two might not be good.

I didn't expect Zhao Ruxi to be so down-to-earth, he directly accepted his favor, and also expressed his willingness to make further contact.

It's a great start, and he's done what he came to today.
