However, the Hunan people soon realized that such a goal was still long-term, and it was still important to eliminate the Wenzhong forces at present, so they dispelled this idea for the time being.

He walked out of the loom room with the steward, and looked at the left and right compartments for a while before returning to the council chamber.

He sat down in the middle of the hall, took out the seal, and showed it to the people: "The seal is here today, and if you have any official business that you want to do, but you can say it in turn, I will order it on the spot." ”

When the stewards saw that the new shopkeeper was not timid, someone stood up with a letter in his hand and said: "In the past two days, because the New Year is approaching, the old men of the government are in a hurry, and we still lack a lot here, only enough for one person, I don't know if it is the prefect of Xiangong, ......?" ”

The Hunan people frowned and asked, "How much is still in the library?" ”

"A good cloth among the tribute officials...... There were about forty-seven horses. Guan told the truth in advance, and looked at him with hesitant eyes: "But if you send these cloths together, I am afraid that there will be difficulties in the future." ”

The Hunan people waved their hands: "Fang Jinfang is overstretched, there is no cloth to pay tribute, expedient measures, can only be like this." I'll just figure it out later. ”

The steward was helpless, and he agreed.

In addition, the new cloth should also be intensified weaving and dyeing, remember that this should be left to Chen Tongzhi; As for the old cloth in the treasury, it will be sent to the prefect and other officials, and the amount will be determined by the princes, and I will not participate. ”

The stewards knew the relationship between the family and Tongzhi, so they had no objections, and said in unison: "We all understand." ”

The Hunan people stood up on the table: "The younger generation still has family affairs to be busy, and I hate that I can't stretch out my four hands." I hope that all the seniors will do their best, and they can worry about me a little. ”

"That's nature." The stewards said.

The Hunan people pointed to the seal letter on the table: "Although I return to the house, the seal letter cannot be moved." There is a servant below, who works on behalf of the office, guards the seal, and does not teach others to take it. Remember, unless I come here in person, I will not be handed over! ”

After that, he pointed to a ladder beside him and ordered him to stay in the dye shop; The stewards were all impressed when they saw that the Hunan people were acting like flowing water, and they did not engage in the prestige of taking office at the beginning, as if they had been resurrected as the first shopkeeper. As a result, the tension created by the ownerless dye shop for several days was also dissolved.

When the Hunan people returned to their mansion, they just got off the horse, and when they heard that Wen Zhong wanted to meet, they were stunned for a moment, and then ordered: "Please ask Brother Wen to go to the outer study to see you." ”

He came out of the stable, went to the corner gate, took a detour, and went to the outer study, where he saw Wen Zhong waiting in the house.

"Sixing, are you going to the dyeing workshop?" Wen Zhong asked with a smile.

The Hunan people humbly bent down and smiled: "Yes, I went to the dyeing workshop to take care of some things, and came back to rest." ”

Wen Zhong patted him on the shoulder: "Okay, Sixing is in this period, it is not easy to manage the dyeing workshop in an orderly manner!" ”

"Where, where ......"

"It's supposed to be Kampot to discuss, right? If you don't mind, talk to Wen Mou? Wen Zhong took the tea handed by the Hunan people and asked.

"How can you mind!" Hunan people said, "After the first brother goes, Brother Wen is the elder brother of the Hunan people, what do the Hunan people hide!" ”

The flesh on Wen Zhong's cheeks twitched a few times: "Sixing attaches so much importance to affection, it's really in vain to bother cultivating outside the staff." ”

The Hunan people secretly glanced at him, and said, "This is indeed the case. Because the dyeing workshop lacked the cloth in the tribute officials, I ordered them to bring the old cloth they had and send it to the prefect. ”

Wen Zhong didn't dare to say anything, nodded and said, "This is feasible." Chen Tongzhi is what we rely on, and it is also a good strategy to curry favor with him. ”

"But there's one thing that juniors can't figure out." The eyes of the Hunan people flashed with a hint of cunning.

"Please." Wen Zhong became serious.

He pretended to mutter: "Everything else is easy to talk about, but those big and small officials should send a few horses, and they are not very familiar with it, so they don't know it." ”

Wen Zhong asked as if wary: "As a person from the gambling house, Wen is afraid that it is inconvenient to go to the dyeing shop, right?" ”

The Hunan people grabbed his hand enthusiastically: "Brother Wen has helped me solve many things, who is not grateful to you." Go to the dyeing workshop to help and determine the number, so why not! ”

Although Wen Zhong faintly felt that there was fraud in it, after all, it was the Hunan people who asked for it, so it was not easy to refuse directly, and after thinking for a while, he raised his head and said: "In this case, Wen Mou will go to the dyeing workshop." Sixing can write a handwritten document and ask me to take it with me, so as not to be misunderstood by them. ”

The Hunan people shook their heads lightly: "Brother Wen, you are the brother of the first brother for many years, and the seal letter of the dyeing workshop is also in charge of you these days, where did you come from the misunderstanding?" ”

Wen Zhong admonished: "Although this is so, Wen Mou is an outsider, and if he enters the workshop without permission, he will be criticized." Follow the rules, and it's all right. ”

But he didn't listen, and still said to himself: "The contract between you and your first brother Jin Lan is known all over the city, how can you say that it is an outsider!" If you are still so polite, don't you doubt the true heart of the Hunan people? ”

Seeing that the Hunan people had come to this point, Wen Zhong hurriedly put down the tea, gritted his teeth and said, "That...... I don't make it difficult for others, Wen agreed. ”

"Then please be careful on the road." The Hunan people sent him out of the study, and when he saw the figure in the distance, he was relieved, and a smug smile gradually appeared.

According to Wen Zhong's estimates, nine times out of ten this time, there is more luck than luck. He wasn't surprised by this, but he was puzzled by his persistence. He didn't have much intersection with the Hunan people, and he should have been estranged from them, or even ostracized, but now he is happy to clear the way for his seizure of power. What he cared about was no longer affection, but only to maintain the interests of the gambling house. He has long lost the free and easy energy he had before, and his spirit of galloping freely in Jiangdu has become the same as ordinary people, and even those bad deeds will make him more despicable than ordinary people.

But after thinking about it, Chu Zi, who was once invincible, could not control the fate of the family before he died, so even if his power was prosperous, who could say that this day would never come? …… But his heart struggled for a long time, and he still couldn't let go of the huge gambling house and the wealth of the power to cover the Jiangdu.

He no longer dwelled on the so-called doubts, but crossed the threshold of the dyeing workshop and entered the council chamber.

As soon as Wen Zhong walked up, he looked at everyone coldly: "It was your shopkeeper who asked me to judge the number of cloth tribute officials, so don't panic." ”

The stewards were dumbfounded, put down their pens, widened their eyes, and did not speak. The slave holding the seal letter was unhappy, and he bluntly said to Wen Zhong: "Duke Wen, the big shopkeeper clearly said that we should rule by ourselves, when did you follow the order?" ”

"I was ordered by your master just now."

The stewards appreciated the decentralization of the Hunan people, and now Wen Zhong came to 'be domineering' again, making them very dissatisfied and whispering.

The slave held the seal letter and said angrily: "Gong Wen, take a good look at the plaque outside, this is not another house, it is a dyeing workshop!" ”
