Although Yinzuo had already been mentally prepared, knowing that there must be a lot of official documents waiting for him to sign and sign in the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, he was still stunned when he saw the mountain of official documents on his desk, and he couldn't get back for a long time, and sighed in his heart. Yinzuo went down to Jiangnan for half a year, although there are people doing those transactional work in the Ministry of Industry, such as negotiating with the Ministry of Households, transferring silver and so on, and so on, Yinzuo does not need to come forward, but the problem is that the account write-off is not possible without Yinzuo, the brother in charge, and then there is the matter of river engineering and Caoyun restructuring also has to be Yinzuo's final decision.

No matter how much you do, you have to do it, don't you? There is no way, Yinzuo had to bury his head in the stack of official documents, busy with his work, fortunately, Yinzuo has a good memory, audited at a glance and ten lines, holding a brush in his hand and signing constantly, starting at three o'clock in the afternoon, and has been busy until the hour of the unitary, the sun is west before half of the stack of official documents is digested, just stretched his waist, and planned to drive back to the house to see the fourth Yinzhen standing in front of himself with a smile on his face, and hurriedly got up and said: "Yo, when did the fourth brother come?" Alas, the younger brother was busy and dizzy, and he didn't see it, and the fourth brother forgave his sins. But in my heart, I muttered: the fourth child's always cold face is smiling at this time, hey, there must be something strange.

"Hehe, the fourth brother has been here for a while, seeing that you are busy, I didn't dare to disturb, and there is nothing big about it, but I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to talk to the sixth brother about some small things." Yin Zhen said with a smile.

Cut, when did the fourth child become so polite, hey, it's probably not a good thing. Yinzuo has cheated the fourth child several times, and even Wu Sidao grabbed it in his own hands, oh, it seems that even the name Hongli has been robbed, there is a ghost in his heart, and he doesn't believe that the fourth child can have a good thing to find himself, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "Cheng, our own brother, what can't be said, the fourth brother has something to order, and the younger brother should do the work of dogs and horses." ”

Yin Zhen immediately said: "Okay, Xiaoliu's words have gone to the fourth brother's heart, since he is his own brother, the fourth brother is not welcome." This matter is the case of the restructuring of the grain road and the Caogong, and the fourth brother is in charge of the household department, so he has no bottom in his heart, so he wants the sixth brother to mention it. ”

Depend on! What kind of medicine is sold in this gourd? Caoyun is under the management of the household department, but the old man has already assigned Caoyun and Hegong to our management, oh, the fourth child also has a name for co-organizing shipping, and it is justified for him to meddle in shipping, well, there is some trouble, the fourth is planning to compete with Lao Tzu, or is he going to say goodbye to us? Damn, let's see what this thing is talking about. Yinzuo's mind moved quickly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged, and he said happily: "Cheng, the younger brother originally planned to discuss this matter with the fourth brother, but it happened that the fourth brother would like to take a seat." Then he smiled and scolded those guards: "Tea, what's the matter? All of them are like stupid geese, and they have no eyesight at all. ”

Tea is naturally good tea, the best West Lake Longjing, Yinzuo has always been good at this mouthful, what you have in your hand is money, don't enjoy it more when. Yinzhen said that there was something, but after sitting down, he only drank tea and didn't speak, which made Yinzuo babble in his heart, I don't know what the fourth child wants to do, and he doesn't speak, and he drinks tea with a smile. At the end, it was the fourth child who spoke first: "Little Liu, I don't know what kind of charter is the opening of the river canal and the repair of the fertile land mentioned in your excerpt before the head?" ”

Well? Didn't the fourth child read this charter? This thing is just pretending to be confused at all, and asking what kind of name is this? Yin Zuo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Ah, the younger brother in front of the charter went down to Jiangnan in a hurry, and I am afraid that I forgot to send it to the fourth brother, yes, the younger brother will let people find out." Yinzuo beckoned, asked a pen in the lobby to find the charter about Cao Ding's placement, and handed it to Yinzhen with a smile on his face.

The fourth brother looked at it with a serious face, nodded and said: "Okay, the fourth brother of this charter can see that it can be done, it can not only settle Caoding, but also increase the treasury, which is a good way, not bad, but there is one thing that the fourth brother doesn't understand: What is the end of this flood pond?" ”

"Ah, fourth brother, this is like this: each of these ponds is about 100 acres in circumference, about 30 zhang deep, only a few zhang deep can be used to raise fish on weekdays, there is a gate to control the amount of water in and out, in fact, it is a reservoir, once the flood peak hits, the embankment is in danger to open the gate to enter the water, to ensure the embankment." Yinzuo replied with a smile.

"Oh, I see, okay, this thing is good, rare, rare, the fourth brother will arrange for the Yunnan Qing Officials to do it. Well, it's not too early, so the fourth brother will leave first. Yinzhen nodded with a smile on his face, got up and left.

Depend on! What is the fourth child doing? There is no end to this coming and going, isn't it just a little to send a petty official such as Langzhong and the principal, and you have to run by yourself? Besides, these things were originally the things that the Yunnan Qing Officials of the Ministry of Household should be in charge of, can they be so strenuous? Even if you want to please Lao Tzu, it's not like this, it's okay to be courteous, it's either a traitor or a thief. Yinzuo sent the fourth child away, and after thinking about it for a while, he couldn't understand what the fourth child was planning to do, so he simply didn't want to, and packed up and went home.

When I returned to the palace, as soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw a person kneeling in the corner, Yinzuo looked at it, and couldn't help but be stunned: Hey, isn't that guy Li Wei's little bastard? What happened to this kid again?

Before the head Yinzuo took Li Wei and the three into the house, he didn't ask much, and handed them over to Sister Qiao to manage, and then before Yinzuo went down to Jiangnan, he picked out more than 20 children with a little spirituality from the family slaves, and specially explained to Qingxu to teach a group of small family martial arts, and specially invited the school teacher to give them cultural lessons, planning to make this group of little guys small and trained, and it will come in handy in the future. As soon as Yinzuo came back, he hid from Tianjin Wei, and before he had time to ask about the study of those little guys, he saw Li Wei being punished and kneeled, but he understood in his heart that this little guy must be in trouble again, and smiled and beckoned Liu Quan, the second housekeeper who was accompanying him, and asked: "Old Liu Tou, what happened to this kid Li Wei?" ”

Liu Quan is also Liu Mingchuan's clansman, he followed Yinzuo before he opened his teeth and built a mansion, and he was in charge of several large manors in Yinzuo's field, and he was considered an old man in the house. Liu Quan listened to his master's question, and hurriedly replied: "Back to the master's words, this little guy is very skinny, and he was punished twice in three days. ”

"Liar? What's going on? Say! Yinzuo was also a little angry when he heard this, and his face sank.

Yinzuo rarely gets angry at home, and rarely asks about things in the house, this anger, Liu Quan is a little unbearable, sweating and telling what happened: Li Wei loves to train some insects and horses and other things since he was small, and this morning he took a worm fed with medicine and fought with other people's fierce insects, and won a lot of money in betting, but those who lost money were anxiously red-eyed, seeing that Li Wei and his group were small, and planned to eat hard, and fought, Li Wei and others were small, but after all, they had practiced martial arts, and they had a little work under their hands, and they didn't suffer any losses. ran all the way back, but somehow Lan Yue'er knew about it, and after asking the reason, she punished Li Wei to kneel in the corner.

He ***, this little bastard should be punished, he has nothing to do to run away to cheat, and he also let people call the door, damn, Lao Tzu's face is lost to this bastard. Yinzuo was angry in his heart, but before he understood Li Wei's motive for doing this, he didn't have an attack immediately, called Li Wei over with a black face, and asked in a cold voice: "This king wants to know why you are doing this?" ”

Li Wei was already kneeling and his legs were numb, and at this time, he was rubbing his knees and screaming in pain, but he didn't answer Yinzuo's words. Yinzuo was really angry this time, and shouted: "Drag it down, wait for the family law, beat fifty rattans, and go to Beimengou to dig coal after the distribution is finished." ”

Fifty rattan is nothing, the sentence is fatal to send the north gate ditch, this year to dig coal, dirty, bitter not to mention, but also very dangerous, a careless death. Li Wei was anxious, and hurriedly shouted: "The master spares his life, and the dog said ......."

Hey, don't push you, you're not telling the truth yet. Yinzuo has always valued this kid, and he has long known that this thing is a troublemaker, and he is just to scare him at all. Li Wei didn't know whether Yinzuo was playing real or fake, and quickly explained the root cause of the matter - the front door has always been a place for the families of each prefecture to gather in their spare time, and the families in each brother's mansion have nothing to do when they go to drink tea, Kan Dashan or gamble for money, play crickets and the like, among them, there are the most people in the old eight mansions, and they are very domineering, often looking for something to extort money from others, and the families in Yinzuo's mansion have also suffered losses, and some people have been beaten. Li Wei, this kid, didn't like the other party, this time he set up a game, pretended to be ignorant, and took a little broken worm fed medicine to fight crickets with the minions on the old eight mansions, and won them all, but the other party refused to give up, so the fight started.

Insect? I also fed the medicine, hey, there is stimulant at this time, interesting! Yinzuo doesn't understand the way of insects, and he has no interest in that aspect, listening to Li Wei's colorful statement, talking about how the minions in the Eight Masters' Mansion lost their eyes, how they planned to snatch back the money, and how they were tricked by Li Wei and others, Yinzuo also felt funny: This stinky boy is doing some crooked and evil things, but the whole eighth minions are not a big deal, but they can't let this bastard go on the evil way, and they still have to take care of it. Yinzuo said with a straight face: "Don't do business, do some crooked ways all day long, go, kneel, stop eating tonight, get out!" ”

Li Wei is a ghost elf, as soon as he heard that Yinzuo didn't talk about digging coal in Beimengou anymore, he knew that Yinzuo was not really angry, stuck out his tongue, limped to the base of the wall and knelt. Yin Zuo shook his head with a smile and went to the back hall to discuss things with Wu and Lin.

"There is something strange about this, according to Yulu, the fourth elder brother is afraid that there will be a big move, for fear that the prince will block his way, so he will show goodwill first." After listening to Yinzuo's words, Lin Xuanyi said quietly.

Big moves? What big move does the fourth child want to make? Yin Zuo was confused, and looked at the two strategists with some confusion, his eyes flashing with doubt.

Wu Sidao pondered for a while and said: "Lord, now the fourth master and the prince are very close, and they often go in and out of Yuqing Palace, which is quite a princeling. In addition, it was investigated that the master in the Fourth Master's Mansion was named Tang Guoming, the word Yishan, the Lingye Jushi, the Luoyang people's clan, the ruler of Zhou Yi, and belonged to the vertical and horizontal lineage. According to Yulu, there are no more than two things that the fourth master can make big moves - one is the grain road, and the other is the salt road. ”

Tang Guoming? Vertical and horizontal family? Grain road, salt road? Yinzuo realized, nodded and said: "The two top priorities in the management of the household department are the grain road and the salt road, and the grain road is already being done by the king, so the fourth child is planning to start on the salt road?" ”

"Yes, now the elder brothers are three-legged, except for the prince, the prince, and the eighth master, the other elder brothers are either fledgling, or they are insufficient, and they can't affect the overall situation at all, if the fourth master wants to break the deadlock and become the fourth corner, he must make achievements and speak with actual results. The matter of Yandao is the abacus of the fourth master. Lin Xuanyi replied.

"Well, it's this reason, how should this king deal with it?" Yinzuo looked inquiringly at his two major strategists.

"The salt road is very important, not only related to the well-being of the people, but also related to the income of the imperial court. Wu Sidao replied categorically.

"Yes, Li He also thinks that the prince does not have to interfere in this matter." Lin Xuanyi also did not hesitate to agree with Wu Sidao's views.

Don't meddle? But if the fourth child really succeeded, wouldn't he have gained a firm foothold in the court? In this way, there will be one more enemy to deal with in the future, isn't this a bit of a tiger to trouble? Yin Zuo was a little strange in his heart, why didn't the two major strategists approve of his involvement in this matter, wouldn't it be better to kick the fourth child down while he didn't gain a firm foothold? Looking at the suspicious look on Yinzuo's face, Wu and Lin both laughed, making Yinzuo even more confused, and he didn't know what the two military divisions were doing.

"Lord Wang, how many years did the Three Kingdoms fight in ancient times?" Wu Sidao opened his mouth with a smile.

Three Kingdoms? Er, I don't remember, it looks like I've been fighting for more than 70 years, right? Why do you ask this decently? Yinzuo couldn't understand what the Three Kingdoms had to do with the current matter, paced back and forth in the hall for a few steps, thought seriously for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he understood the intention of the two military divisions - the triangle is the most stable way to stand, the reason why the Three Kingdoms have been fighting for so many years and can't end it is because they are in time and time with each other, and they calculate each other, so although the big guys play hard, they can't eat each other, and in the end, the Three Kingdoms are all destroyed. If the current situation is not broken, there is no hope for me to ascend to the throne, and only by muddying the water can I touch the fish, right? Hey, not only do you have to let the fourth brother come out, but the other elder brothers had better come out, the big guy will come to a scuffle, the water is muddy, and we can fish.

"Okay, that's the case, the king won't interfere, look at the fourth to go to the whole, tomorrow morning the king will stand and look good, but the king doesn't interfere, the eighth is difficult to say, the interests of the eighth on the salt road are very heavy, once the eighth shot, the fourth may not be able to fall into a good place, how should the king deal with himself?" Yinzuo threw out another question.

"Although the prince can rest assured, the eighth master will definitely intervene, but he may not be able to please, and it is estimated that he will have to suffer a few boards because of this." Wu Sidao said faintly.

Oh? Hit the board, hehe, the old man's board is not so easy to suffer, we've been beaten several times, that hurts, hey, it's really uncomfortable. Although Yinzuo still had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask any more questions when he saw that the two strategists were there, and made up his mind to go to watch the monkey show tomorrow morning.

It's not early, and you have to go to court tomorrow, Yinzuo asked Wu and Lin to go to rest earlier, and went to the backyard leisurely, just walked into the backyard, and a person came out of the black rumbling, fell to the ground, and cried and said: "Master, you have spared Brother Dog in large quantities, right?" ”

Yinzuo took advantage of the light of the lantern hanging on the wall of the courtyard to see that it was Cui'er's little girl, and secretly laughed in his heart: This little girl and the dog are really childhood sweethearts, two little guesses, and the wooden fish hit us, hey, it is estimated that Lan Yue'er must have interceded before the head, but since we have ordered the punishment, I am afraid that Xiao Yue'er will not dare to let people go casually. Well, Li Wei, a stinky boy, was born like a mischievous boy, and it is not okay not to be punished, but the punishment is ruthless, and he has become an obedient and obedient dog, but it is not interesting. Yin Zuo deliberately said with a calm face: "Xiao Cui'er, if you are wrong, you should be punished, right?" ”

"Master, Brother Dog knows that he is wrong, so you will spare him this time, right?" Little Cui'er began to cry.

Knowing what to do? Hey, if Li Wei's stinky boy can really know his mistake, the rooster can lay eggs, but it's too late now, and it's time to let him go. Yinzuo pretended to be thinking and said: "Well, okay, just spare him this time, and next time you do it again, you will never be spared." ”

"Thank you, master. Cui'er will bring him food. Xiao Cui'er broke into a smile, kowtowed, and ran out as soon as she got up.

Rice? Yin Zuo then remembered that he was busy with patronage, and he hadn't had dinner yet, so he smiled bitterly and walked straight to the small courtyard where Lan Yue'er was......
