"Hahaha, Brother Daotong is here, and the humble house is shining!"

Daotong came to Yongjiahou Mansion, and Zhu Liangzu actually greeted him in person, laughing and inviting him into the main hall.

"Master Hou has tormented the officials." Dao Tong looked at the coral tree in the hall that was as tall as one person, as well as all kinds of gold and jade decorations and antique treasures that shook the blind eye, and couldn't help but sneer: "I'm afraid that your mansion has nothing to do with the humble house, and the emperor's Forbidden City is not as generous as yours." ”

"You ......" Seeing that he was embarrassed, Zhu Xian on the side was about to have a seizure. Zhu Liangzu waved his hand disapprovingly, signaling Zhu Xian not to speak.

"Haha, Brother Daotong don't look uninformed," and then Zhu Liangzu invited Daotong to sit down and serve tea, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm doing this for my own enjoyment?" Wrong. ”

Dao Tong sat down on the rosewood official hat chair, looking at the maids serving tea and pouring water, all of them were beautiful and gorgeous, and couldn't help but sarcastically: "Is this still not for others to enjoy?" ”

"That's why it's too small." Zhu Liangzu said with a straight face: "Think about it, what is this soldier fighting for?" ”

"Defend your family and country." Dao Tong said without thinking.

"That's why nerds like to think of people as saints. In fact, how many of them are fighting for someone else? Zhu Liangzu said with a smile:

"Nine out of ten, so that I can eat. But just like this, they will only mess around, who will work hard to eat? I have to set a higher goal for them - high-ranking officials, glory and wealth! ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the extravagant furnishings in the room and said loudly, "These are for this." Ben Hou just wants to let his subordinates see what kind of life they will live after fighting desperately and being promoted through meritorious service. ”

"That's how they get the motivation to work hard. If I, the Hou Mansion, is as poor as your county government, what will the people below think when they see it? Zhu Liangzu said confidently: "They will think - Zhu Liangzu is waiting for the general, and what do you want from the four walls, so what are we going to fight?" ”

"Hahaha, Yongjiahou is really well-intentioned." Dao Tong was amused by Yongjiahou's crooked reasoning, holding the expensive Ru kiln tea cup in his hand, looking at its glaze, there is really a "rain after the sky and clouds break through", "thousands of peaks and blue waves and green colors" wonderful.

He carefully rested the teacup on the coffee table and said: "The subordinate officials don't know much about the affairs in the army, but with Yongjiahou's fortune, I'm afraid they can't support such a wide scene, right?" ”

"Hmph......" In normal times, Zhu Liangzu must have denied it, but today he wants to open the skylight and say something.

"That's nature, do you know how many people there are to support a marquis, a general, and how much money must be spent? What is the amount of money in the imperial court for? He sneered and asked: "Daozhi County is also a dignified Baili Hou, if you want to maintain the operation of a county's yamen, you rely on your eighty stone a year, and it is not enough to eat or drink, right?" ”

"It's really stretched." Dao Tong nodded and said calmly: "But if you save a province, you will be able to deal with it." ”

"Do you dare to say that you have never been greedy for a penny or received a gift?" Zhu Liangzu asked.

"Nope." Dao Tong said without hesitation: "The lower officials don't know why they must be corrupt and accept bribes when they are officials, if that's the case, I won't be an official." ”

"Now I'm still in this position, which means that I haven't reached that position yet." After a pause, he raised his voice and said: "The annual salary of the Marquis is 1,500 stones, plus the official position of the governor of Zuodu, the annual salary is 3,000 stones!" The so-called high-ranking officials are nothing more than that. But you still have to be corrupt and take bribes, it can be seen that no matter how high the emperor is, it is difficult to fill your desires! ”

"If you are an official like you, the court will be finished early!" Zhu Liangzu couldn't help but raise his voice and said: "If Lao Tzu wants to win the battle, he has to feed the brothers, otherwise who will give me my life?" As long as we can defeat Yunnan smoothly, the emperor won't worry about these things with me, understand?! ”

"......" Daotong was silent, and Boss Zhu's ambiguous attitude gave him no confidence to refute.

At this time, the butler came to announce that the table could be opened.

"Please take a seat." Zhu Liangzu suppressed his anger and said.

"No need, just say something." Daotong didn't move at all and said: "The mountain boar can't eat fine chaff, and the Hou Ye's delicacies and seafood, Daotong can't afford it." ”

"Daotong!" Zhu Xian couldn't help but roar angrily: "Don't toast, don't eat, eat and drink!" ”

"The lower official also has a message to the young marquis, if you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself!" Dao replied with a hard word.

"Our family is the founding marquis, and we have an iron ticket to avoid death!" Zhu Xian said arrogantly: "You want me to die? You're going to have to die a hundred times first! ”

"What if you die a thousand times?" Dao Tong said coldly: "I Dao Tong will not change anything!" ”

"You won't be hard when you die!" Zhu Xian was about to threaten Daotong again, but was stopped by Zhu Liangzu and said:

"Shut up, the one who comes is a guest, is this your way of hospitality?"

After speaking, Zhu Liangzu looked at Dao Tong and said: "I invited Daozhi County to come over today, I want to have a good talk with you, and see if I can let go of my previous suspicions, and the well water will not interfere with the river water." ”

"As long as Hou Ye can restrain his family and subordinates, no longer cause trouble to the county, and no longer be a traitor, the lower officials will retreat when they see Hou Ye's father and son, and they will be willing." Dao Tong said lightly.

"Of course Benhou can restrain them." Zhu Liangzu pondered for a moment, and said quietly: "In this way, I forbid them to mess around in your Panyu County, how about you turn a blind eye and stop meddling in things?" ”

Dao Tong's pupils shrank, and Yong Jiahou's unusually low posture today made him realize that the other party must have received the news.

"I'm sorry, when the lower officials saw that someone was committing a traitor, they couldn't help but take care of it." Dao Tong shook his head and said, "So I can't guarantee Hou Ye." ”

"Shameless ...... face," Zhu Xian muttered hatefully.

This is really not a shameless face. Like most provincial capitals, Guangzhou is also governed by one city and two counties, and it is impossible to distinguish it so clearly.

"Then let's do it, let's have a separate one, out of sight." Zhu Liangzu waved his hand, and said with another proposal: "I will transfer you out of Guangzhou City, and the prefect of Guangdong and Guangxi will be chosen by you, as long as you are optimistic, I will arrange it for you." The prefect of the county is changed to the prefect, this is a good deal, right? ”

"No need, I'm an official, not a business." Dao Tong was unmoved.

"So, don't you have to talk about it?" A fierce light appeared in Zhu Liangzu's eyes, and his whole body was full of murderous aura.

"It's not that I don't have to talk about it, it's that the Hou Ye refuses to stop being a traitor, and if the subordinate compromises, he will be an accomplice." Dao Tong looked at Zhu Liangzu fearlessly.

"Words are not speculative, send off!" Zhu Liangzu waved his hand and said coldly.

He also completely understands that this is the same stubborn stone that cannot be frightened or softened.

Then it would take only a hammer to break it......
