"Let me give you another reminder," Comrade Chen continued to incite after seeing that he was silent, "all officials who opposed the new policy were removed by him, especially those in charge of money and food. If they continue like this, they will not only target the gentry in Henan, but also who will be used, and the adults should understand from the bottom of their hearts. ”

Zeng Liang was holding his breath, but when he heard this, he couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help but shoot the case: "I'm going to take this guy down if I die!" ”

Fellow Chen glanced at him, and instead sighed: "Now he is trusted by His Majesty, and his power is unprecedentedly strong, far greater than Liu Zhennian's party. Although we can entangle scholars, but we are all dancers and writers, how can we succeed? It's too late to repent! ”

Zeng Liang was angry, turned around and glared at him with bloodshot eyes: "Then we have to be arrested?" Joke! There is nothing that cannot be done in the world! ”

Comrade Chen hurriedly persuaded: "There is a way to do this...... I was afraid that Xiang Zhi was unwilling, so he didn't tell him frankly. ”

Zeng Liang said angrily: "I hate Ye Yongjia the most in my life, as long as I can deal with him, why don't I want to!" My lord, this is doubting me? ”

"Where, I'm just waiting for your words," Comrade Chen laughed, "In that case, I can also take advantage of the situation." ”

Zeng Liang sat down slowly.

"I don't know if you remember that you and Fan discussed the new covenant at the beginning?" Comrade Chen asked.

Zeng Liang shook his eyebrows, tugged at the placket of his clothes casually, and most of his arrogance disappeared: "How long has it been...... And I'm not very good at talking......"

Comrade Chen looked at him a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "I understand what you mean, but I don't have to pierce it, I only tell you eight words: 'The pit viper stings his hand, and the strong man breaks his wrist'." ”

Zeng Liang repeatedly recited these eight words silently, so he nodded his head, and gradually had a firm meaning: "I probably know." It doesn't matter, even if you put this innocent body into it, you won't be able to live up to the emperor and queen of heaven. Anyway, how to do it, I'll listen to your arrangement. ”

Chen Tongpao approached and said: "I inquired that Jizhou is going to build a gun factory recently, and the military department has arranged it. You walk around there, and we'll keep you when you come back. ”

When Zeng Liang heard this, he smiled rarely, pointed at him and said, "You are a mysterious ......."

"Yes, vacate that side and use it as a warehouse!"

As soon as Zeng Liang arrived on the outskirts of the city, he heard a hoarse shouting not far away, and the sound was very familiar. He smiled, and then put on a serious face, and told his subordinates to go forward with him; He looked at it, and sure enough, it was the old merchant who settled in Beitang. The man, still with a gray beard, stood in a large open space in the scorching sun, directing everywhere, surrounded by figures hurrying to carry boxes.

"Old merchant, don't get tired! My throat is about to smoke, rest. Zeng Liang waved his hands and shouted, stepped forward and saluted.

The beard took a piece of cloth and wiped it all over his forehead, and then replied breathlessly: "I'm tired, I can't help it...... I need to take care of everything big and small here, and I can't be idle. ”

Zeng Liang smiled: "Since I'm here, you can look at my thin noodles and sit in a quiet place, right?" ”

"Okay," he said, nodding his head with his beard, "I'll take you into the tearoom over there and sit down." ”

Everyone sat down together, closed the window with a beard, and asked Zeng Liang nervously: "My lord is here, what are your instructions?" ”

Zeng Liang pursed his lips and smiled, did not answer, but sighed: "You are also very difficult, how can you implement one instruction in the east and one instruction in the west?" ”

The beard groaned for a long time, bowed his head and said: "They are all for the court, and I don't know very well." ”

Zeng Liang leaned back on the backrest, looked at him and said, "What if there is a big business on the table?" You still don't know? ”

The beard rolled his eyes, and he hurriedly replied: "I don't understand the meaning of the adult, please give advice." ”

"In a few days, a sum of 100,000 taels of silver will arrive here, and it will be transferred from you in the name of 'funds for the purchase of military factories.'" When this factory is set up, I will split it with you. ”

"So much silver...... Where did it come from? The beard was still not at ease, and then asked the bottom of the matter.

Zeng Liang said: "This is the money in the salt farm, and I specially took out some of it to use it in order to help the urgent need at hand." ”

The beard was overjoyed, rubbed his hands, and said with a smile: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." Where have these people gone? I'll have to prepare a little. ”

"It's here—"

Zeng Liang was just about to speak, but was interrupted by a knock on the door outside: "Old merchant, we are from the military department, and we have something to ask!" Please open the door! ”

The beard suddenly turned earthy, pulled Zeng Liang's sleeve, and persuaded in a low voice: "You go to the inner room for a while, and I will entertain them first." ”

Zeng Liang was also frightened, and hurriedly called his left and right henchmen, and his feet flew quickly, and he went straight behind the curtain.

"It's broken, it's broken......" Zeng Liang gritted his teeth with a sad expression, "Ye Dang came so coincidentally, he must have eavesdropped on the previous paragraph!" In case of impeachment in front of the emperor, this official will never recover! ”

"What should I do?" The henchmen huddled together with him and asked.

"I want to think about it......" Zeng Liang frowned for a long time, suddenly woke up like a dream, took in a breath of air, and turned his head to look at them, "Yes...... Why didn't this official plan and give him an army? ”

While he was talking, the people from the military department had already entered the tea room, and two of them came and sat down on the chairs unceremoniously.

"You've been here," the two men looked around casually, "the footprints are still there, and the chairs are gentle." ”

"Where is it, where is it," the beard served carefully, "Old decay here, the most honorable person is the guest of the military department." I don't know what the two of them have to do here? ”

"It doesn't matter, just a letter to Lord Ye," one of them took out a piece of paperwork, "He has some suggestions for the scale of the factory and the purchase of raw materials, so you can read it yourself." ”

The beard didn't dare to slack off, took the letter, looked at it carefully for a while, and nodded: "Lord Ye is so keen on firearms, the villain is very moved, and he must keep it in mind and act accordingly." ”

"Then the two of me will go first."

The two of them stood up, but they didn't move a single step, and then they pretended to be embarrassed, smacked their lips and said, "Look how many times we have been here, and we have kept those unsightly secrets for you, and worked hard for you, and you have to remember our good." ”

"Of course."

"That'...... Do you have to say something? Another said.

"Oh," Beard immediately agreed, "I'll go get it." Twenty taels per person, how? ”

He was about to turn around, but saw Zeng Liang rushing out from behind the curtain and roared loudly: "Old merchant, you are willing to be bullied by this group of shameless people!" It's too bold to openly ask for bribes! ”
