"Get up! Chen drunk knocked on the door with a clanging sound, Zhou Zhe had no choice but to stick his head out of the bed, in winter, he was difficult to get up early, and he drank a lot of wine yesterday until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep.

Zhou Zhe muttered, "Senior sister, you are the devil! so early!"

Chen Outside the door, he was drunk and said, "If you don't get up again, I'll let my father call you." Senior Brother and Senior Sister Li are coming, hurry up, salute and sleep however you want. ”

Helpless, Zhou Zhe could only get up. This morning, Yang Jue and Li Jiuyang must have gotten up earlier than him, and then they were going to visit the master and the master and the uncle Sun Guozhu.

Time was in a hurry, after Yang Jue took his new daughter-in-law to meet the head and then the master and his wife, Zhou Zhe returned to the room, but it was cold, and he couldn't sleep anymore.

Since he can't sleep, it's time for others to have trouble sleeping, which one to find first? The three lords who are in charge of the coal mine and the Hubu Shangshu? Or do you want to talk to the Flying Sword Villa first? And he still has a worry, that is, have the three lords sold the coal mine in the past hundred years? Or, will the business with Tianyu Pavilion be too tightly entangled for him to eat?

While hesitating, Suo E knocked on the door. Then he said outside the door, "Master Hou, there is an old man who claims to be you, named Lu Douya, who came to visit with gifts, can you see me?"

Zhou Zhe immediately opened the door and said to Suo E, "See, let him come directly." Then, before Suo E could leave, he stopped him again: "No, no, no! Take him to the verandah, don't give him tea, don't raise charcoals, go." ”

He has his own intentions, Lu Douya himself is a person who climbs up with his clothes, and judging from his actions, they drank together the day before and came to visit the next day with gifts, he is a person with a very high self-execution rate, and he seems to know how to stutter.

Villain, there is a use of villain, and if you use it well, you can save a lot of trouble, but first, you have to use means to control.

In the room, Zhou Zhe waited for two quarters of an hour before getting up and going to the eaves of the small hall.

Seeing Zhou Zhe walking this way, Lu Douya excitedly shouted, "Hou Ye!

Zhou Zhe looked arrogant, and his eyes seemed to be looking down at Lu Douya, "Shouting and shouting, what kind of system is it, don't you know that this is the Tianshu Gate?"

Seeing some effects, Zhou Zhe asked Suo E behind him again: "What should I do?" I don't give tea or a stove, in this winter, you see that Lord Lu is frozen." ”

Suo E was very sensible, and hurriedly hugged his fists, "Master Hou, it's all a small negligence." Please punish Master Hou. ”

And over there, Lu Douya also said, "Master Hou, don't do it, don't do it." ”

Enwei came out from above, not only to show Lu Douya, but also to Suo'e.

Zhou Zhe flicked his sleeves and said to Suo E, "That's it." Suo E, you can take a good look, this is Lord Lu of the household department, how can you be lazy! Why don't you hurry up and prepare a hot tea stove. Turning around again, "Lord Lu, what's the matter, don't look down on me Zhou Zhe's personality? ”

"A little caution, I'm afraid that Master Hou will be busy, so I will give you a New Year's greeting in advance. Lu Douya looked flattering and offered gifts with both hands.

Zhou Zhe didn't even look at it, and refused: "It's only been a few days since you made the county order to the household department, so you learned to give gifts." What's the matter, the household department let you fish for oil and water?"

With a faint refusal, Zhou Zhe picked up the teacup and blew it, which frightened Lu Douya, and his hands trembled.

Zhou Zhe continued to ask, "What's the matter? Am I right?"

Lu Douya's eyes rolled, and he waved his hands, "Master Hou! How dare I! This is a point, local specialties, New Year's goods!"

"New Year's goods?" Zhou Zhe rolled his eyes, opened the box easily, and a set of extremely exquisite tea sets immediately came into view, "I'm afraid this New Year's goods are no less than 100,000 taels of silver! I wonder how many heads you've grown, or are you going to pull me into the water?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Douya was really a little scared in his heart, giving gifts, and he was going to send disaster. Hurriedly clarified "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, this is all sent by the door that ushered in the send, the gift is too heavy, and I am holding a hot hand." ”

Zhou Zhe's eyes squinted at the landing cliff, picked up the tea set and looked at the shading, "Dasheng Qingping thirteen years, Dingyao." "Qingping is the name of the Dasheng Emperor Li Chi, the Ding kiln is the best official kiln in Dasheng, and the porcelain produced is priceless, saying that it is worth 100,000 taels of silver, only a little.

After reading the shading, Zhou Zhe put down again, "Good things! Lu Douya, I'm curious! Why did those sects give you such a heavy gift to your household?"

As soon as Zhou Zhe's words fell, Lu Douya couldn't hold back, and knelt directly by the stove that had just been served, his neck was full of cold sweat, and he really couldn't figure out what Zhou Zhe wanted to do. Yesterday's banquet seemed to give him an illusion, Zhou Zhe was easy to get along with, but today, looking back at it, hundreds of heads rolled down in Xilin County that day. And how dare he say anything about the household receiving gifts? After saying that he offended his colleagues, he still had a bad life.

Lu Douya's head jumped and sounded, "Hou, Hou Ye, don't dare to say anything about killing the villain!"

Zhou Zhe smiled and took a sip of tea, "Lu Douya, I'm not an imperial historian, nor a speech official, I'm just the deputy commander of the internal guard, you don't need to be afraid." ”

It is said that people are good and people are good, Lu Douya heard it and understood, Zhou Zhe planned to deal with him, and the deputy commander of the internal security took advantage of their contacts with various sects to do the same, if he didn't want to do it, then he was just a marquis. The ganzi has been handed over, Lu Douya, what are you hesitating about? Hurry up and climb.

Lu Douya hurriedly howled, "Master Hou, I'm your person!" Then he knelt on his legs and took a few steps forward, hugged Zhou Zhe's thigh, snorted and tears, and sold the household department cleanly, "They have some waiters in the household department to collect money, I don't dare to accept it, but I handled it, and if I don't accept it, don't you wait for them to give you small shoes to wear." I am a man of few words, and besides you, who can call the shots for me!"

Zhou Zhe thought to himself, it is normal for various families to send money to key departments, how can they live in various state capitals, counties, and large quantities of land without the seal of the household department? Do you still want to plant spiritual grass to colonize? There are pigtails everywhere, but when they are caught in their own hands, they are pigtails, and this Lu Douya also knows how to climb up the pole, and he is too sensible.

Zhou Zhe pulled Lu Douya up in pain: "Alas, Xiling has been absent for more than a year, and it is really not easy to not want Brother Lu's career to be so bumpy." God is pitiful, it is better to write down these pickled things in the household department truthfully, brother, I will be the master for you. Be sure to write truthfully. ”

Mung bean sprouts became Brother Lu in a blink of an eye, Lu Douya is really sensible this time, help Zhou Zhe do things, you are Brother Lu, don't do it, the bean sprouts will be fried in the pot.

"Master Hou is for me, so why should I be afraid. Tired pen and ink. ”

Half an hour later, Lu Douya finished writing tens of thousands of words, which person and sect were involved, which one was better than the business and the words were better written. Zhou Zhe looked at the paperwork, then at Lu Douya, and thought to himself that if it wasn't for me in front of me, I really suspected that I was looking for someone to write it.

"Brother Lu, it's been hard, it's been hard. Zhou Zhe patted Lu Douya's shoulder and smiled sincerely. "This New Year's goods, I left it with this bullet stamp. ”

As soon as he heard that it was a bullet seal, Lu Douya was a little furious, a bullet chapter! Zhou Zhe is going to play big, such a thing is thrown out, and the evidence is real, not only those few waiters will be unlucky, but I am afraid that the position of the household department Shangshu will not be guaranteed. "Master Hou, you don't really want to be on the bullet stamp, are you?"

Zhou Zhe looked at Lu Douya with a smile, "This chessboard is full of other people's chess pieces, what should I do if I want to play chess?"

The next moment, I was ecstatic in my heart, and if I wanted to play chess, of course, I would push all the other people's chess pieces away, and he Lu Douya was going to be developed. Then he suppressed his ecstasy and said, "Master Xie cultivates." ”

Zhou Zhe waved his hand, pulled Lu Douya and sat down, "Cultivation or not cultivation is secondary, you must first be a capable minister and learn to share worries for Your Majesty! Sometimes, it is one thing to collect money, even if you collect more money, if Your Majesty does not kill your head, who will dare to touch you? Those sect lords do not need to be afraid, they should collect the money they should collect. What should be done, do it for Your Majesty. Do you understand? If no one sends it to you and you don't have money to spend, tell your brother the number. ”

His point couldn't be more obvious. It's also realistic, the emperor handed over the errand of the household department to you, you have to do things for the emperor, collect the money, and do things beautifully, as long as the emperor is satisfied, you don't have to take it seriously if you offend a few Xun Qi sects. If things go wrong, no one can protect them.

Lu Douya's human essence quality was brought into play again, and he immediately understood Zhou Zhe's point, and raised his hand to say, "Master Xie advises." ”

Zhou Zhe saw that the time was almost up, and it was time to ask the original business: "Brother Lu, let me ask you, how many coal mines are there in Hexi, one of which is now under the direct jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, who is in charge of this now? Also, are there any transaction records of those coal mines in Hexi? Who are these coal mines now?"

Lu Douya didn't understand Zhou Zhe's intention to ask this, but he still answered truthfully, "Master Hou, in fact, I have only been in the household department for a few months. ”

Zhou Zhe seemed to say to himself, "Oh! It seems that I have to find Yan Shangshu, Beiyuan is short of coal, and this matter can't get around him." He didn't know if Lu Douya's mouth was tight, but it was best not to leak it.

Soon, Suo E sent Lu Douya away, and before leaving, he continued to politely say to Suo E, polite, please go back!

What is the difference between being an eagle dog and not a cloth cloth? Suo E sighed, following Hou Ye, I'm afraid he is with the right person.

Chinese New Year is a good time for children to eat, new clothes and New Year's money, and adults can get together to chat and feast. Of course, it is also a good opportunity to build relationships with officials.

Zhou Zhe on the sixth day of the first lunar month, brought gifts, personally went to Shiliang Road, visited Yan Fucheng, and opened the government on the tenth day, if he went to do it at that time, plus the cronies came back, I'm afraid the time is a little tight, he went, one for the coal mine, and the other for the sake of Yan Fucheng, I want to see what kind of person Yan Fucheng is.

informed the name of the official, and thought that the door would be wide open to welcome Zhou Zhe in, but he didn't expect that he would not even accept a gift after eating a closed door. Zhou Zhe felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, thinking that I was a loyal and brave marquis, the deputy commander of the internal guard, and I gave you a toast at Yang Jue's wedding banquet a few years ago, why didn't you see me?

Zhou Zhe said to the porter, "I'm looking for your master, I have something important to discuss." ”

The porter said very smartly, "My lord said, if it is a business matter, we will talk about it until the sixteenth day of the first month." If it's a private matter, you're not my master's old friend. ”

Lin Xiaoer was a little unhappy: "Alas, your lord owes money and hasn't paid it back." Tell your lord, the creditor is coming. Zhou Zhe laughed wildly in his heart, turned his back and gave Lin Xiaoer a thumbs up, and praised it wildly.

The porter was dumbfounded this time, the lord's creditor looked up and down at the clothes of the two, obviously one master and one guard, and the momentum was extraordinary, and then thinking about the name of the official, it was really the lord who couldn't be provoked. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the capital city dared to ask Lord Shangshu for an account, and there were few left, which could not afford to offend.

Zhou Zhe saw that the gatehouse had already gone in to report, and directly signaled Lin Xiaoer, and the bricks under the gatehouse were smashed open.

In Yan's mansion, Yan Fucheng was listening to the porter's report with an angry face, and the next moment, a rumbling sound came, and he immediately sent the porter to see what was happening. And the next moment, Zhou Zhe's voice came from the porch in front of the courtyard, and there was the noise of the guards.

"Yan Shibo, the late-born Zhou Zhe has given you a New Year's greeting. ”

Although you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, have you ever seen smashing the door and breaking in to forcibly pay New Year's greetings? Today, Yan Fucheng saw it, he thought it was just smashing the wall, but the next moment, even the porter who had just run out to see the situation was carried over by Lin Xiaoer with a hand.

"Shi Bo don't be impatient, this doorman is too deceitful, and he is afraid of trouble to spread the news, and he was caught today, Lin Xiaoer, send them out. Zhou Zhe shouted Shibo in his mouth, Lin Xiaoer's hand was still not light, how could the family of Shangshu Mansion withstand his disassembly?

Everyone is coming, and it is estimated that they will not be able to drive away if they go out, and Yan Fucheng was forced to break into the mansion, and his face was pale.

Yan Fucheng was staring at Zhou Zhe at the moment, and his aura was not weak at all. "I don't know what Deputy Commander Zhou has to do?

After the hard display was finished, Zhou Zhe smiled and said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's just one or two villains, how can Dasheng's Hou Ye monk let the villain put his beak in it? ”

Shameless to the extreme, this is the case, forcibly breaking into people's houses and saying that there is something to do, beating other people's families and then laughing and greeting the New Year, it is simply the second of Jiao Dajun, and there is no good thing in Tianshu. Yan Fucheng slandered his belly, but you can't do anything about him. Who can reason with this kind of thing?

"What's the matter? Don't talk about business at home. "If you have a good plan, I have my ladder over the wall. Yan Fucheng worshiped a stinky face, looking like you have the ability to beat Lao Tzu.

Zhou Zhe's mental strength is about to fail, and no matter how high the civil official position is, he has the same temperament as Fan Wenliang, but he can't control much.

Zhou Zhe clenched his fists and looked serious, "Shibo, it is indeed a business matter, and it is indeed a major event, and it is a major event involving the safety of Dasheng." "I thought, with such a big mouth, you always have to show your attitude, right?

Yan Fucheng snorted coldly: "Oh, big things, if you can't solve it with internal guards, you can solve it with a small household book? If His Majesty the Emperor can't solve it, find me, a second-grade errand officer can solve it?" ”

Quality four consecutive blows, Zhou Zhe continued to speak, "The county official is not as good as the current management." Now the government has not opened a government office, and if it is time for the court to meet, it will be too late. ”

Yan Fucheng smiled, but he didn't smile, "Marquis Zhongyong, you should tell me, what kind of big thing is it, can it be so urgent? Is it me who is in a hurry or are you in a hurry when Marquis Zhongyong?" Is it possible that a hundred officials in the court are not as good as your disciples in the Book of Heaven?"

This is a bit of a slap in the face, but it is also a trick, and it can be answered and solved. Zhou Zhe is not afraid of being asked, he has a backhand, he is afraid that Yan Fucheng and Tianyu Pavilion will be scared if they wear a pair of pants. If that's the case, Xin will meet later.

Zhou Zhe took out the map from his arms, "Lord Yan, please take a look." ”

Yan Fucheng didn't think that Zhou Zhe was really prepared, walked to the map, and took a closer look, the map of Hexi was marked with mineral deposits and the map of the sect.

Zhou Zhe introduced, "Lord Yan, my Dasheng's annual ordnance manufacturing depends on the ordnance supervisor and procurement from the people, imagine if it is a major state-owned event and needs to expand the army, what armed soldiers does the ordnance supervisor take?

Zhou Zhe is indeed exaggerating, but the manufacturing capacity of the Ordnance Supervisor is currently at the limit, which is an indisputable fact, and more importantly, the quality of the weapons manufactured by the Ordnance Supervisor is okay to deal with the poor clanging orcs and the small city-states in the Western Regions, but it is difficult to deal with the spiritual cultivators, especially the large-scale army of spiritual cultivators!

Yan Fucheng fell into thought, what do you want to do with this kid and me? The Ordnance Supervision is directly under the Ministry of Industry, and then thinking about what Zhou Zhe said, coal, iron, his eyes lit up, and he instantly understood something. At this time, Yan Fucheng put down the shelf, but still said in a stinky voice, "What do you want to do?"

These words, there is too much room to play, Zhou Zhe smiled, Yan Fucheng can be trusted, and then slapped the Tianyu Pavilion in the middle of the map with his big hand and said, "Control Tianyu Pavilion." Then he looked at Yan Fucheng's eyes and almost spit out word by word, "Or, extinguish." ”

Yan Fucheng knew what it meant to be terrifying at this time, there was only a young man in his twenties in front of him, and the decisiveness of the killing made him look sideways, and then he thought about it, he seemed to have just been deceived by his young appearance, a person who could lead hundreds of people to kill the spirit medium mountain and retreat with his whole body, and who could be appreciated by Chen Yuanhou would be a simple person?

Seeing that Yan Fucheng was deep in thought, Zhou Zhe pointed to the West Mountain on the map and said, "There is an iron mine in the West Mountain, I believe that adults are no strangers." Seeing Yan Fucheng nodding, he continued, "Now, the Xishan faction in Xishan has been driven out of Xishan by Tianyu Pavilion, that is to say, Tianyu Pavilion's iron ore is already self-sufficient, and the rest is only coal mines. I want to know, Lord Yan. Zhou Zhe asked in an extremely serious tone: "How many coal mines do we have left?"

How many are left? Yan Fucheng almost gasped, and he couldn't wait to go to the palace to face the saint now, you know, how can others sleep soundly in the couch. Tianyu Pavilion, this seemingly second-rate sect, now has iron, coal, money, and countless cooperative sects in the spiritual cultivation world, if they become powerful, it will be a big trouble for Dasheng's henchmen, a real big trouble, and it won't take a few years for the well-equipped Tianyu Pavilion to become another major force in addition to the four major factions.

Zhou Zhe saw that Yan Fucheng's face was pale and stunned, and asked, "Lord Yan?"

Yan Fucheng, who came back to his senses, said in a hurry, "Face saint, face saint, without further ado, let's enter the palace face saint." "I'm in a hurry now, what kind of saint is the face, how can the palace go forward in the fifteenth day except for the emperor's relatives and relatives? Yan Fucheng sat on the chair with his ass, feeling powerless from his heart, I'm afraid he can't handle it well, he doesn't want to sleep this annual leave. But what can you do?

Zhou Zhe has a waist card, but when he goes to the palace at this time, it will definitely attract attention, and when the time comes, all the actions will be exposed to the sun, Tianyu Pavilion will jump over the wall in a hurry, and under the heavy snow blocking the road, where to transfer troops?

Yan Fucheng finally knew that Zhou Zhe dared to break through the wall and enter, this was a big deal!

Zhou Zhe's hand shook in front of Yan Fucheng's eyes, and said, "Lord Yan, how many are left? Are there three other coal mines still in the hands of the three families? Such a big mine transaction must be issued from the household department, right?"

Yan Fucheng had the previous arrogant senior civil official style at this moment, covering his head with both hands: "No! No! No, no! No, no!" almost with a crying voice, no wonder he was so out of shape, so it was.

Zhou Zhe sighed in his heart, it's over. Something big is going to happen.
