Empress Dowager Li said thoughtfully: "What he said makes a lot of sense! And Long Live Lord can humbly accept advice, and he is doing very well! ”

Emperor Wanli's mother and son were sitting and gossiping in the harem, but the outside had gradually turned upside down! As soon as Duke Bao and Duke Liang Guo left the palace, they began to happily start selecting suitable candidates among their children and grandchildren. But it's not that easy to choose.

First of all, an age problem will get rid of a large part of the adult family members, and then there is the problem of the side branches, as well as the problem of personal qualifications, and some of them have a headache!

But last night, the news that Liu Haojia made a big fuss in Chunfeng Building and the Silver Hook Gambling House had already spread, and the news that the two princes had entered the palace to cry to the Empress Dowager Li had also spread, so all the people who received the news that they were going to pay the money were staring at the two of them. In particular, those who are honorable are keeping an eye on the direction of the wind of the two of them.

As a result, seeing that the two of them returned home happily, naturally someone came to inquire about the news. But no matter what other people ask, the two people have the same caliber, that is, the money must be paid! Moreover, Liang Guogong directly arranged for someone to prepare the silver in front of everyone and sent it directly to the Chengxi Primary School, which made everyone very confused!

waited until the two of them had whetted everyone's appetite before they said the news that the two of them were going to choose a nephew to send to the martial arts hall. Of course, the two of them were very smart and didn't say that there was a share of Emperor Wanli in this money, but this did not prevent everyone's guesses and associations.

But even so, the news is amazing enough! Everyone wants to be closer to the emperor at home, so the nobles who got the news immediately went home to screen their children and nephews, and prepared to find an opportunity to send their children to the martial arts hall! Even they have begun to hope that Liu Haojia will quickly collect money from their own business, so that they can have an excuse to meet the emperor.

As for the civil officials, although they also heard about the relevant news, their performance was much colder. After all, they all relied on the imperial examination, not on the royal family like Xungui. So most of them are watching from the sidelines, and a few are trying to connect and refuse to pay the monthly bill.

But again, there are a few civil officials who have business in Jingshi, and most of the civil officials who have business are just meddling in a certain industry or shop, and they are not running their own business, so they can completely pass on the loss to the real shop owner.

More importantly, Liu Haojia has already let people let out the news, and after the money is collected, it will be divided according to the level! This sentence made many Jingshi officials who had never interfered in business at home remain neutral, and even agreed to the tendency! They are waiting for Liu Haojia to fulfill his promise, if this rumor is fake, I am afraid that the subsequent impeachment will be endless!

After the two of them left the palace, the matter of collecting money suddenly accelerated! In particular, the industry under the name of the honorable person pays very much! After these people paid the money, they would hand over the book and wanted to meet Emperor Wanli in person. According to their positions and abilities, Emperor Wanli selectively met with some people, and promised to give their sons and nephews the opportunity to enter the martial arts hall.

As for the other nobles, they let out the wind and told them that this batch was full, and the next batch would have a chance. This also made those nobles who were not selected quiet and quietly waited for the next opportunity. Through this hand, Emperor Wanli greatly strengthened the connection with the nobles, and also made him feel some of the happiness of being an emperor.

Then Emperor Wanli really fulfilled his promise and included all the selected people in the martial arts hall. But at the same time, he also recruited a group of ordinary brocade guards and soldiers' children into the martial arts hall. Because Liu Haojia told him that Xungui can be relied on, but not completely! After all, ordinary people and low-level officials are the majority, and we must work hard to expand our influence among them. And Emperor Wanli thought so and strictly followed his requirements!

Due to the cooperation of Xungui, Liu Haojia's speed of collecting money has been greatly accelerated, and the key role is the martial arts hall he opened with Emperor Wanli! This martial arts hall gave Xungui another way to rise, and they naturally flocked to it, and they were very well-behaved with each other!

In contrast, the shops controlled by civil officials and traditional families still do not pay a penny, and their attitude is quite negative! But fortunately, there was no conflict with the person who received the money. However, the anger of both sides has grown!

In order to solve this problem, when Xungui was almost dealing with it, Liu Haojia gathered all the captains under his command and began to listen to their reports.

After they finished reporting one by one, the captain who made the last report complained: "My lord, those people don't take us seriously at all and refuse to pay the money, what should we do?" If it drags on any longer, I'm afraid that there will be a recurrence there! ”

The other captains also chimed in, scolding these people for not cooperating! Liu Haojia ignored their complaints and sent someone to bring a stack of books and distribute them. Each book had the number of the corresponding jurisdiction written on it, and even the Zhang County Order, who sat next to him as an ornament, got a copy.

When the book was delivered to him, Zhang Xianling's expression was quite exciting! He really didn't expect that there was still him in this matter!

After distributing the booklets, Liu Haojia said: "Starting tomorrow, for three consecutive days, I will send someone to the merchant every day to report the payment of the money, and tell them that the last time limit is ten days later, and all merchants must pay the monthly bill!" As for what to do in three days, the answer is in the books you have in your hands! Study it now, and ask any questions you have right away! ”

Everyone opened the book and studied it carefully, and found that it turned out to be the plan of action for the next four days. The above ones are written in great detail, but some of them can't help but laugh when they look at them! Even Zhang Xianling, who was always sleepwalking, laughed a few times. But then he whispered to Liu Haojia: "Lord Liu, is this okay? ”

Liu Haojia said lightly: "Did you break the law for the part you did?" ”

Zhang Xianling was stunned for a moment and shook his head and said, "That's not true." ”

Liu Haojia said: "Since this is the case, Shangguan naturally won't blame you, just do it!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Xianling could only shake his head helplessly, and continued to look down at the book in his hand. Then the other captains couldn't hold it anymore and came up one by one to ask about the things they didn't understand in the book. When they asked clearly, they were full of confidence that they would be able to collect all the money on time.

Liu Haojia tapped his fingers on the table and said, "Don't show loyalty to me now, I'll talk about it when it's done!" Remember, it's time to get started on the afternoon of the fourth day! ”
