Chai Zhuoxu and Peng Tai were the first to go to Zhangjia in Pingfeng County.

As soon as a group of six people turned the corner of the street, they saw the gate of Zhang's house, full of people.

When they came to the door of Zhang's house, Chai Zhuoxu and Peng Tai turned over and dismounted first.

Among those waiting, one of the oldest hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "Contemptible Zhang Longjian, I have been waiting for the official for a long time. ”

Chai Zhuoxu laughed twice and asked, "Zhang Shibo, why did you come out to greet you in person?" ”

His age is similar to Zhang Longjian's eldest son Zhang Qi, because of the business before, there was a relationship between the two families, he and Zhang Qi called him brothers, naturally in front of Zhang Longjian is a generation younger, and it is also appropriate to call him a uncle.

Now the Zhang family is headed by Zhang Longjian, the eldest son of the old lady Zhang, the big and small things of the Zhang family are all made by Zhang Qi, after leaving from the eleventh prince yesterday, he wrote a letter to let people send to the Zhang family in Pingfeng County, explaining the intention of today.

He didn't expect that Mrs. Zhang, who had already ignored family affairs, would come out to greet him in person, which surprised him and flattered him.

Zhang Longjian is old and refined, although he has passed the age of sixtieth year, he is still in good spirits, looking at Chai Zhuoxu with blazing eyes, and said: "Virtuous nephew, I have heard that these adults are all from Beijing, of course I have to come out to greet the old man, in case you neglect these officials, the officials will blame you, will you kid suffer with our Zhang family?" ”

Chai Zhuoxu waved his hand again and again, and said with a sneer: "Shibo, don't make fun of your little nephew." ”

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Zhang Longjian looked serious, then looked at Peng Tai and several servants behind him, and said respectfully: "Officials, please come to the house." ”

Chai Zhuoxu secretly rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but sneer, this old lady really has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade.

How can it be said that he and the Zhang family are also old acquaintances, is it possible that this old lady only has an official in his eyes?

Peng Tai is just a small inspector and a six-grade official.

The person he Chai Zhuoxu followed was still the Eleventh Prince, if he was willing, how could the Eleventh Princes arrange a higher position for him than Peng Tai.

It's just that being an official has more fat and water than being a grain and oil merchant, just look at Lord Qincha Han, you can know that the poor have to bottom out their money bags.

is the so-called no official and no greed, those officials who are really not greedy are not much more nourished than ordinary people, obviously Han Tao did not get much oil and water in his position, that is still a dignified three-grade master.

"Old lady Zhang, I'm bothered." Peng Tai arched.

"Where, where, a few officials, please."

Zhang Longjian's wrinkled old face smiled, welcomed Peng Tai and Chai Zhuoxu into the house, and immediately asked people to serve the best tea that had already been prepared.

"Old lady Zhang, I think Boss Chai has already informed you, what are we doing here?" Peng Tai was the first to speak.

"Of course, of course." Zhang Longjian nodded frequently, and said generously: "Natural disasters are unpredictable, no one would have thought that such an unfortunate thing would happen to our Fengquan Mansion, if we can do something for those suffering victims, our Zhang Mansion will definitely be duty-bound." ”

I only heard Zhang Qi also speak: "Yes, after receiving the letter from Brother Chai, I discussed this matter with my father, if the imperial court wants to buy grain, our Zhang family will definitely sell it to the government at the lowest price." ”

"Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang, the heart of benevolence and righteousness is admirable, and I believe that those victims will also be grateful for the righteousness of the Zhang family in the future." Peng Tai Dao.

Chai Zhuoxu also smiled with satisfaction.

Unexpectedly, this matter went more smoothly than expected, and he didn't need to bother to say anything more, and sure enough, it was a correct decision to be the first to come to the Zhang family.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if the beginning is so easy, then the rest of the things will surely go very smoothly.

Everyone discussed many details in detail, and they were basically finalized, and Mrs. Zhang had promised that he would convene several other clans in Pingfeng County in the next two days, and if there was news, he would send someone to inform Chai Zhuoxu.

Chai Zhuoxu is also happy to save trouble, and he doesn't have to delay too long in Pingfeng County, and he can complete the task assigned by the eleventh prince as soon as possible. He and Peng Tai left Zhang's house non-stop and went to the next county seat.

But this time it didn't go so well.

Like the Zhang family, Chai Zhuoxu also sent someone to Liu's house in Yingji County yesterday to deliver a letter, but when they came to Liu's house, no one greeted them at the door.

Even the concierge looked like a dog looking down on people, and he was very impatient to let them wait at the door, and then walked in slowly to report.

Peng Tai pulled Chai Zhuoxu aside and asked, "Boss Chai, does this Liu family have any great background?" ”

"This ...... I really haven't inquired carefully, I only know about this Yingji County, but the Liu family is the only one, as long as we convince the Liu family, it will be much easier for the other families in Yingji County. Chai Zhuoxu said.

"I think the gatehouse of their Liu family is even more obvious than the gatehouse of the princely generals in the palace of the princes and generals in Beijing." Peng Tai nodded slightly: "What kind of master there is, what kind of slaves there are, even these minions don't take us seriously, I think this Liu family is difficult." ”

Chai Zhuoxu patted Peng Tai's shoulder as a sign of comfort: "How do you know if you don't try, don't worry, the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." ”

Peng Tai teased: "Anyway, Boss Chai himself is also a businessman, and he really does his best to do things for the eleventh prince, isn't the prince giving Boss Chai any benefits?" He smiled meaningfully.

"Hi...... Why do we need the eleventh prince to promise us any benefits, Lord Peng doesn't want to think about it, the eleventh prince is the prince, so what can we ordinary people see if they want to. Chai Zhuoxu leaned close to Peng Tai's ear and lowered his voice and said: "Since the eleventh prince has asked people to find me, as long as I do things beautifully, maybe the prince will be happy and give us some reward, which is much better than us ordinary people who have worked hard for most of our lives." ”

"Besides, we don't expect the eleventh prince to give us an official position, and we also expect to climb to the eleventh prince, if we want to go to Beijing to develop in the future, wouldn't it be much easier."

Chai Zhuoxu patted Peng Tai's chest as he spoke, and continued: "Lord Peng too, this matter, the eleventh prince attaches great importance to it, as long as Lord Peng behaves well, isn't it a matter of you and Lord Han being promoted to the rank of knight?" ”

"It is said that businessmen are profitable, and I think Boss Chai is really unprofitable." Peng Tai sneered twice.

Chai Zhuoxu pointed at Peng Tai, showed a meaningful smile, and said, "Master Peng should also seize the opportunity." ”
