Sima Liang, Yang Yu and Yongxin chatted a few words. Then Yang Yu said goodbye and went to work. After all, he still has a lot of work on his hands, so basically in the morning, he came to Sima Liang's mansion to report and ask.

After there were only two people left in the room, Sima Liang felt uncomfortable. Yongxin sat straight and looked straight at him. Don't speak, don't move. Like a wooden man.

Sima Liang wanted to push the other party outside, but now the weather is cold. Coupled with the fact that the other party has many identities, it is difficult for him to do this.

What to do? I have to find a way to get Yongxin away.

Looking at the official document in his hand, Sima Liang remembered something else.

"Yongxin, according to what you said, it is estimated that you have to settle in Jiangnan. If you want to, I'll help you find your family. Tell me what type you like, there are many big families in Jiangnan, and it is estimated that you can find a lot of suitable for you. ”

Speaking of marrying himself, Yongxin's dark face was a little more flushed. However, Sima Liang didn't notice these at all.

"Lord Yanwang, no need. If I'm looking for it, I'll find it myself. ”

Faced with the person who directly talked about the sky to death, Sima Liang was very helpless. He sighed, and no longer reluctantly. Instead, he concentrated on the official document in his hand.

"Xu Wangshan? Check it out. ”

Flipping through an official document with a familiar name, Sima Liang looked at it seriously. After being verified by the third son, this Xu Wangshan was temporarily hired. Now he has been sent to Yanming Beach to deal with some matters on the dock.

Xu Wangshan, surnamed Xu, was recommended by Master Xu, but in fact, he was not the other party's nephew, but a cousin of the same generation. The other party is not as old as Master Xu, but he is also more than 40 years, which can be regarded as a fighting year.

The bottom of Xuwang Mountain is very clean. He participated in several imperial examinations, but failed in all of them. Later, it was to use Master Xu's relationship to play in the yamen. Mainly at the docks, where the liners do things.

There are no rights in Yancheng, let alone this kind of supernumerary person, which can be said to be quite aggrieved. But this Xu Wangshan actually persevered. With this foundation and perseverance, Sima Liang is still willing to give a chance.

After briefly flipping through the official document, Sima Liang frowned.

Because according to the official document, the smuggling and contraband situation in Yanming Beach are becoming more and more intense.

As the first seaport in the country of Li, when the tax revenue is the largest, it can account for one-third of Yancheng. Even in the affluent Jiangnan region, this is a very impressive figure.

The most important part of it will also flow into Sima Liang's hands and be counted as territorial offerings. Therefore, when it comes to his own interests, he naturally cares.

Sima Liang had also thought about the situation of Yanming Beach before, but in view of the benign operation of Nanhu Port, he felt that it should not be a big problem. I've been busy in the back, and if I don't pay attention, I've been forgetting.

Now there is a special person to report the situation. Sima Liang learned some of the real situation. Although Feng Si has often been in Yanming Beach in the past few months, the other party only deals with trade, plus he is a halfway monk, and he is old, so he can't manage it if he wants to.

Thinking of the situation mentioned in Xu Wangshan's official document, Sima Liang suddenly had an idea. He lowered his face and made a very embarrassed look.

"Yongxin, you bring some government soldiers. Go to Yanmingtan Wharf and help Xu Wangshan. When necessary, blood can be seen. ”

Hearing that blood could be seen, Yongxin was like a beast smelling blood and coming to the spirit.

"Lord Yanwang, is it very serious?"

"Things that affect taxes and touch the interests of many people." Sima Liang's voice was low.

This kind of ambiguous rhetoric made Yongxin take a deep breath.

"Okay, leave it to the lower officer. Will definitely take care of it. ”

"Well, I believe you. Let's get in a carriage. If you can't deal with it for a while, you won't be here for me in the days to come. Let's go straight to Yanming Beach. ”

"Yes, Lord Yan." Yongxin walked out of the study quickly.

After confirming that the other party was gone, Sima Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. At the same time, a smile was revealed.

"Finally managed to go straight to this guy. Although it's just a few, it's not a good guy, but it can also let him play for a while. At least for a few days. ”

In Xu Wangshan's official documents, some gangs and scales were clearly written. Compared with the officials, it is indeed a little difficult. But Sima Liang's elite soldiers are more than enough. It can be said that this incident is a double win for Sima Liang.

"Xu Wangshan, that's good. If it's no problem, I'll throw it to him in the future. ”

Solving the trouble in his heart, Sima Liang was in a good mood.

And just like that, a pleasant morning passed. Sima Liang poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. Then lie down in the chair and rest contentedly.

After a while, Sima Liang stood up and prepared to go back to the back house for lunch.

Recently, someone helps to share things, and he doesn't have to call for dinner, and he usually arrives early.

Crunch.

A cold wind is blowing.

Sima Liang looked at the meltwater that kept dripping on the eaves and took some.

"It's so ice. By the way, it seems that the ice cellar has been cleaned and the ice has been put on it. This summer, you can have some cold drinks. ”

Thinking that the days are getting better and better, Sima Liang is getting happier and happier. He tugged at his cloak and walked to the back house.

"Lord Wang." A shout interrupted Sima Liang's footsteps.

Sima Liang turned his head to look, and then showed a puzzled look.

"Excellence? What are you here for? Who is this one next to you? ”

Excellence walked over with a well-haired, scholarly young man.

"Hello prince, in Xia Guolin." The young man is neither humble nor arrogant.

"Hello." Out of politeness, Sima Liang returned the salute, and then looked at Zhuo Zhuo.

Excellence was looked at like this, and he was a little overwhelmed. He tugged at the young man beside him again.

"Lord Wang, this is Brother Guo, who recommended it to you last time. Didn't you say, "You want to meet?" and brought them in the next place. ”

"That's right. Okay, let's eat right away. Let's talk while eating. ”

Sima Liang was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.

Of course, he didn't remember it at all.

When did you say that? How come I don't remember? It shouldn't be. If I ever want to meet someone, I should remember it. Why is there no impression at all?

Out of forgetfulness, on the way to the back house, Sima Liang did not talk to the two people behind him.

Entering the courtyard, Sima Liang saw Xiaobei and played with the snowman again. Since the last time I took the other party to play, every time Sima Liang came back, there would always be one or two more strange things.

"Becky, stop playing. Tell me, I want to eat alone for lunch today. If you say anything, take care of it yourself. ”

"It's the prince." was seen by outsiders building a snowman, Xiaobei was extremely shy and ran exceptionally fast.

Seeing this, Sima Liang shook his head helplessly. I thought: Isn't it true that in the future, you shouldn't bring outsiders directly to the back house. Or should they be more restrained?

Although Sima Liang was entangled in his heart, he did not stop at his feet. He walked around the main house and came to a secluded side yard. On the way, he also instructed his subordinates to prepare a stove and meals.

Entering the room, the three of them took off their cloaks and coats and sat down at the table.

Because he was afraid of embarrassment, Sima Liang didn't plan to say too much first, but asked Guo Lin to introduce himself first.

Of course, the other party is also very cooperative. Stood up and started the show.

"Below, Guo Lin. He was originally from Ningcheng and now lives outside the south of Yancheng City. I'm now engaged in ghostwriting articles and the like. Of course, I still have ambitions in my heart, and I hope to show my skills, worthy of ten years of hard work. ”

Regarding Guo Lin and Wen Crepe's performance, Sima Liang was not very cold, and of course he was not much disgusted. After all, the other party didn't say anything outrageous, but in terms of rhetoric, it was just a little deliberate.

"What do you think you're better at? Or rather, what can you do for me. ”

Sima Liang's fluttering questioning made Guo Lin a little surprised. He thought for a moment.

"In the following, the article is well written. Lord Yanwang, didn't you praise it? ”

When Sima Liang heard this, he was dumbfounded. He didn't remember what articles he had read about Guo Lin. And he doesn't think he'll let the other party come to his side because of an article.

If you want to learn, Sima Liang will definitely throw it directly to the school. He needs people to do things now, but scholars who write articles are all over Yancheng, so there is no need for him to meet him in person.

Perhaps sensing Sima Liang's embarrassment, Zhuo Zhuo leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.

After listening, Sima Liang was dumbfounded.

Good guys, a joke, excellence to take seriously? Really, you can't just joke about it in the future. How should this end up?

After an excellent explanation, Sima Liang understood what was going on.

A few days ago, Sima Liangtuo Zhuo Zhuo found some romance books and showed them to Bao'er. Out of curiosity, he looked through some of them himself. Unexpectedly, I turned to a story that was written with quite twists and turns.

Just as Zhuo Zhuo asked, Sima Liang said so much. He was supposed to be a joke. The person who said this story was a talent. If you have the opportunity, be sure to meet in person.

But Sima Liang really overestimated his level of bad jokes. I believed the excellence I heard, and I hurriedly accepted it.

At that time, Sima Liang also felt that the other party was a little exaggerated and deliberately flattered himself. But I didn't expect that I made the other party misunderstand.

What to do, I can't say it's a joke. It's embarrassing. If it gets out, it's not good.

Sima Liang was entangled, he didn't know how to place this person. Because he doesn't know the other party's ability and details, he can't be invited to write a romance script.

Just as I was struggling, the meal came. It can be regarded as a temporary relief for Sima Liang.

"Let's eat first, and then let's talk about it when we're done. If you have something to do in the afternoon, you won't drink. Drink tea and water, feel free. As the master, Sima Liang did his best to be a landlord.

After eating many times, after Sima Liang moved his chopsticks, he ate unceremoniously. From time to time, I also talk about things in my school.

Guo Lin on the side, because he was holding a shelf, wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat too much. I wanted to interject, but I couldn't pick up the topic.
