Two days later, Xu Jingzong and his entourage finally entered the realm of the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't until this moment that Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two days, their group has been chased by the secret spy department of the Ming Dynasty like a lost dog, if it weren't for their overwhelming numbers, it would not be easy to escape.

Of course, this is their own opinion.

"Finally left the Ming Dynasty." While Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't forget to sigh with emotion, "I just hope that the old man didn't know that this trip was the old man who poached so many craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty." ”

He wanted to make meritorious contributions, but he didn't want to offend Li Chengqian too much.

"Lang Jun rest assured." His cronies said, "This time, we all use pseudonyms in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how powerful that person is, he can't investigate our heads."

Besides, it was his men who came with us voluntarily, so even if he found out, what would he do? ”

"I hope so." When Xu Jingzong heard what his cronies said, he didn't bother to reprimand him.

And how?

Who is Li Chengqian?

He really wants to know, is there no way to deal with him Xu Jingzong?

"Don't talk about this, hurry to Taozhou Mansion and find the county guard to restore your life." Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "You send someone to inform the county guard again, so that they can also prepare early." ”

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, his cronies immediately left to make arrangements.

After another half a day, Xu Jingzong and his party finally arrived outside Taozhou City.

"The county guard is really a big show." Under the city gate, Xu Jingzong's cronies saw that no one from the county guard mansion had come, and immediately said angrily, "Lang Jun is tired and tired in the Ming Dynasty for the county guard, and we have also informed them several times, but as a result, the county guard mansion did not even have anyone to greet him, which is really rude!" ”

Xu Jingzong is actually a little displeased, he is an extremely face-loving person, and he also followed the eldest grandson Wuji to take office in Taohe County, but there was no one to greet him, isn't this a slap in the face?

Of course, Xu Jingzong is also a smart person, waved his hand, and said: "That's it, now we have just returned from the Ming Palace, and the movement we have made in the Ming Dynasty this time is too big, and the eldest grandson is also protecting us by doing this." If the one who let Daming know that the person who was making trouble in the Ming Dynasty was the old man, and he was targeted by that man, I am afraid that the old man would not have such a good time in the future.

Now, it's better to keep a low profile, speaking of which, the eldest grandson is well-intentioned. ”

In that sense, that's a good thing.

But in the final analysis, after all, he Xu Jingzong is a face-loving person, and he is still a little depressed in his heart.

"Let's go, go into the city, and go straight to the county guard's mansion." After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he asked again, "Those craftsmen have been arranged, right?" ”

Naturally, he couldn't be stupid enough to bring those craftsmen into the city, and no one knew the power of the Ming Dynasty now, even if there were no spies from the Ming Dynasty in this Taozhou Mansion.

He wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

"It's all arranged."

After the cronies finished speaking, Xu Jingzong nodded, and then led everyone into the city.

In just a moment, Xu Jingzong led people to the county guard's mansion.

In front of the county guard's mansion, the old servant beside the eldest grandson Wuji waited in front of the mansion for a long time, and when he saw Xu Jingzong, he bowed down and smiled earnestly: "The old servant Changsun Fu, on the order of the county guard, is here to welcome Xu Juncheng." ”

Juncheng?

Xu Jingzong didn't expect that the position that the eldest grandson Wuji arranged for himself was the position of the county officer, you must know that this county position is the second-in-command in the first county, second only to the county guard.

In other words, in this Taohe County, except for the eldest grandson Wuji, he has the final say.

Not to mention, Xu Jingzong really didn't think about the position of county minister at the beginning, after all, there was Chu Suiliang, and this position of county minister could not fall into his hands.

However, since the eldest grandson Wuji arranged it like this, of course he would not refuse, and when he dismounted, he arched his hand and said: "The old gentleman is polite, this is thanks to the support of the county guard." ”

is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, although the eldest grandson Fu is just an old servant, but who in Chang'an Xungui doesn't know, this old guy has followed the eldest grandson Wuji for more than 20 years, and has a pivotal position in the eldest grandson's family, even if the eldest grandson queen sees it, she has to shout Fu Bo, offending such a person, it is completely unnecessary.

"Then Xu Juncheng followed the old servant into the back house, and my family Langjun has already prepared a banquet for Xu Juncheng, just waiting to catch the wind for Xu Juncheng." Eldest Sun Fu said with a smile.

Xu Jingzong waved his hand, and after dismissing his entourage, he said, "Old gentleman, please." ”

"Xu Jun, please." After saying that, Changsun Fu turned sideways slightly, spread his right hand, and made a gesture of please.

Xu Jingzong was naturally not polite, when he strode in.

It was just a moment, Xu Jingzong was led by the eldest grandson Fu to the backyard of the county guard's mansion, and the eldest grandson Wuji did wait for a long time, and when he saw Xu Jingzong enter, he just smiled.

Seeing this, Xu Jingzong hurriedly walked up in three steps and two steps, and said respectfully: "The lower official Xu Jingzong is fortunate not to be dishonored, and he is here to return his life today." ”

"Yan clan." The eldest grandson Wuji got up, dragged Xu Jingzong, who was about to be swept to the end, with both hands, and said with a smile, "This time it is thanks to the Yan clan, otherwise how could I Taohe County open so many workshops in a short period of time." ”

"It's all the business of the lower officials, and they can't afford to be praised by the county guard." Xu Jingzong said modestly.

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said, "Yan clan, you have returned from a great service this time, and this official should go to the city gate to greet you in person, but it just so happens that there is something urgent in the county guard's mansion, so don't blame this official." ”

"How dare the lower officials?" Xu Jingzong hurriedly said, "The county guard is kind, and it's too late for the officials to thank him, how dare he blame?" ”

"It's easy to talk to smart people." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, "Come, sit, this is all prepared by the official himself, presumably the Yan clan has been sleeping in the Daming style during this time, and it is not easy, today, the old man and the Yan clan are not drunk and do not return." ”

After that, the eldest grandson Wuji raised his glass and said, "This official respects the Yan clan with a cup!" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Jingzong hurriedly picked up the wine glass and said, "It should be the lower official Jingjun who guards a cup." ”

When he picked up the wine glass, the two of them didn't care who saluted whom, anyway, they drank it all.

After a glass of wine, the eldest grandson Wuji pulled Xu Jingzong and said: "The Yan clan also knows that Your Majesty handed over this Douhe County to the old man to govern, in order to make a difference in this Douhe County, after all, the barren land such as Sun Moon Mountain can become a capital Dayi, and my Tang Taohe and Taohe Prefectures are not as good as Sun Moon Mountain, right?" ”

"That's nature." Xu Jingzong said when he heard this, "Whether it is in terms of heritage, geographical environment or scale of city construction, Sun Moon Mountain cannot be compared with the two states of Taohe.

The county guard also knew that Xia Guan had only left Sun Moon Mountain a few days ago, and he could be regarded as having seen the prosperity of Sun Moon Mountain. ”

"Tell me about it." Speaking of this, the eldest grandson Wuji asked eagerly, "What is the magic of this Sun Moon Mountain?" Why did it happen in just a few years? ”

Xu Jingzong saw the anxious appearance of the eldest grandson Wuji, but he was a little curious, to say that the eldest grandson Wuji had not been to Sun Moon Mountain in person, he believed it, but to say that the eldest grandson Wuji did not know the situation of Sun Moon Mountain, he would never believe this.

"The Yan people don't know." When the eldest grandson Wuji saw Xu Jingzong's reaction, he smiled and said, "Although this official has also sent many people to Sun Moon Mountain to inquire about the situation, where do they have the vision of the Yan clan?" In this detail, where can they see through the Yan people? ”

Who is Xu Jingzong, doesn't the eldest grandson Wuji know that this guy, not to mention what his ability is, but he loves face very much, he will still use this guy's place in the future, and the face that should be given will still be given.

And Xu Jingzong did not doubt him, indeed, the eldest grandson Wuji was really not wrong, even he thought so.

"If you go back to the county guard, although the lower official has not stayed in Sun Moon Mountain for a long time, he has also found some problems."

"Huh? Please also ask the Yan people to come together. ”

"The reason why Riyue Mountain has today's prosperity is that the biggest reliance is on business." Xu Jingzong said, "In the entire Sun Moon Mountain, more than half of the people are either directly engaged in business or rely on business-related industries to make a living.

This is also the reason why Riyue Mountain can develop into a Tongdu Dayi in a short period of time, there is no way, the business atmosphere of Riyue Mountain is too heavy.

In addition, there are many things, except for Sun Moon Mountain, there are no other places, which also attracts a large number of merchants to gather in Sun Moon Mountain.

However, this also buried a fatal flaw for Sun Moon Mountain. ”

"Huh?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked, "What are the shortcomings?" ”

"No one is farming!" Xu Jingzong said, "Maybe the county guard can't believe it, there are not a few people farming in the huge Sun Moon Mountain, including the surrounding area, if something happens, Sun Moon Mountain is in danger!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled and said nothing, he naturally knew about this, but seeing that Xu Jingzong was talking a lot, he naturally didn't want to break his enthusiasm, so he nodded and agreed: "This is true, as the so-called people take food as the sky, and Sun Moon Mountain's move is indeed inappropriate."

But that's someone else's business after all, Yan clan, how do you see how we should develop in Douhe County?

You also know that the two state capitals under the jurisdiction of Dohe County are the most barren state capitals in Datang, but even so, it is much stronger than the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Although there are many problems in Sun Moon Mountain, it is not easy to catch up with Sun Moon Mountain in a short period of time." Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "After all, many things sold by Sun Moon Mountain are irreplaceable, not to mention anything else, just say that paper, as long as the paper business is still doing, Sun Moon Mountain will not be able to decay."

Although the lower officials also brought back a lot of craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty, I heard them say that their craft is also to make some daily necessities.

Among the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, they are only the most ordinary.

Speaking of which, it is a dereliction of duty. ”

"Where is the Yan tribe?" Eldest Sun Wuji smiled, "It's good to bring back so many craftsmen." ”

Although he said that, he sneered in his heart, if you master those craftsmen who have mastered those core technologies, can you bring them back so easily?

Xu Jingzong also nodded and said, "Although we didn't get those core craftsmen, these craftsmen are enough for us to use temporarily."

After all, now the things produced by the Ming Dynasty are hard to find in my Tang Dynasty, and although the land in my Douhe County is barren, the population is quite a lot, we can borrow these nearly 200 craftsmen to build a workshop in Douhe County, and then the profits brought by the workshop alone can make me Douhe County Daxing!

After all, compared with Daming, we have more advantages in terms of geography and manpower. ”

"The words of the Yan clan coincide with this official." The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile, "In this way, this matter will be handled by the Yan clan with full authority, not to mention, when you are in the Ming Dynasty, this official has already built more than 20 workshops in Douhe County, and this will all be handed over to you."

If this matter is done well, this official will definitely play His Majesty to ask for credit for you! ”

"The lower officials will be fortunate not to be dishonored!" When Xu Jingzong heard this, he was immediately excited.

This is a good thing, the key is that there is a big pearl jade in front, no matter how you look at this errand, you can make political achievements.

"I also hope that the Yan clan will not disappoint His Majesty and this official." The eldest grandson Wuji said, picked up the wine glass again and said, "Come, this official wishes the Yan clan to shine in my Douhe County in advance." ”

"The lower official thanked the county guard for his kindness." Xu Jingzong also picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

Saying that, the two talked about some specific matters of the workshop, and Xu Jingzong bowed down and retired.

After he left, Eldest Sun Fu said with a puzzled expression: "Lang Jun, this workshop will be handed over to Xu Jingzong?" Isn't this a good man? ”

"How?" The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, "Are you still worried that he will dare to enrich his own pockets?" ”

"Judging from his temperament, it's not impossible." Changsun Fu is really worried about this.

Xu Jingzong is greedy for money, who in this world doesn't know?

If it weren't for greed for money, would he have betrayed his daughter?

The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile: "Don't worry, this Xu Jingzong is indeed greedy for money, but he is a very sober person, what kind of money can be greedy, what kind of wealth can not be greedy, he knows very well in his heart."

Didn't you see that when he mentioned the workshop just now, he didn't mention my eldest grandson's family, let alone his Xu family?

This shows that he knows exactly who this workshop is. ”

For Xu Jingzong, the eldest grandson Wuji can't talk about trust or distrust, in his opinion, as long as he can do things, he doesn't care if this is a black cat or a white cat.

At the beginning, he was going to give Xu Jingzong a position of long history at the beginning, but after thinking about it in the end, he still gave him a position of county leader.

This position is good, not big or small, and when it comes to the time when it is impossible to do anything, it will be a key flag.

And after Xu Jingzong left the county guard's mansion, his old servants were also waiting outside.

"Lang Jun, are you going back to the Juncheng Mansion now?"

They didn't enter the county guard mansion before, so they were taken to the county mansion.

Xu Jingzong nodded and got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Xu Jingzong said: "Unexpectedly, the old man not only took up the post of Taohe County Commander, but also took charge of all workshop matters, and this eldest grandson Wuji was willing to do it." ”

The old servant who was waiting on the side was shocked when he heard this: "The county guard handed over all the workshops to Lang Jun?" ”

Nodding, Xu Jingzong said: "The old man didn't expect it, let alone this errand, even the old man of the position of Juncheng didn't expect it, I didn't expect the eldest grandson Wuji not to use Chu Suiliang, but to use the old man, it's really surprising."

By the way, what position is Chu Suiliang in now? ”

"I heard that it was Hezhou." The old servant also inquired about it just now.

"Don't drive in River State? Interesting. Xu Jingzong said with a smile.

The old servant said with some concern: "Lang Jun, the relationship between this eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang is obviously closer, and now, he will not be happy when he hands over such an important position to Lang Jun?" ”

"That's nature." Xu Jingzong sneered, "This old fox, I really think that the old man can't understand his mind, although Jun Cheng is a high and powerful person, he is also the most suitable person to use the top cylinder."

After all, he didn't treat us as his own. ”

"Shall we ...... then?"

Before the old servant finished speaking, Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, wealth and wealth are in danger, since now he has let the old man take full charge of the affairs of the workshop, then the old man will definitely handle this matter well and do it beautifully."

By the way, this time the old fox let the old man take full authority to deal with the affairs of the workshop, and even let the old man recruit the staffing himself, you have worked hard in the past two days, first let people quietly bring those craftsmen into the city at night to settle them, and then take them to the various workshops to see, and listen to their opinions on the affairs of each workshop.

In the past two days, the old man has started to equip the workshop with all the personnel, since he wants to do it, then do the best, although this matter is very risky, but it is also an opportunity for the old man. ”

PS: I'm sorry, after taking the medicine yesterday, I slept for nearly 20 hours, and when I woke up, it was already early this morning......
