Chapter 348: First Day on the Post
The next day, Zhang Liang moved out of the command embassy.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that his new residence was actually next door to Miao Yutang, which was good news.
At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder if this residence was deliberately arranged by Yingzheng.
Before he could settle his things, Miao Yutang next door came to the door with his things.
"Brother Zhang, I heard that you moved here to live, and we will be neighbors in the future, so we have to take care of each other."
"A small gift is not a tribute, don't dislike it."
He had a smile on his face, and the gift in his hand was just like that, waiting for Zhang Liang to take it.
Seeing him like this, Zhang Liang began to think more in his heart, could it be that Ran Fang also knew this address?
The last time he investigated several of their salt merchants, Ran Fang had already investigated some things, but when they didn't do anything too much, Ran Fang put the matter on hold for the time being.
Could it be that Ran Fang is going to continue to investigate them?
But now that they have the Streamer Pavilion in their hands and a place to settle in Xianyang City, wouldn't it be even more difficult to investigate?
Thinking about it like this, he suddenly had an idea, and motioned to his subordinates to take Miao Yutang's gift.
He also smiled and replied, "Thank you." ”
"Since we are neighbors in the future, we naturally have to get along well."
"In the evening, I will invite three or five friends to drink together, and you are also welcome to come to my house for dinner."
"Huh?" Miao Yutang thought that Zhang Liang would kick him out, but he didn't expect to invite him to dinner together, which caught him off guard.
But soon, he reacted, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay! ”
"Then I'll come back in the evening."
"If there's anything you can help with, you have to ask."
"Seeing that you have other things, I won't bother you."
With that, he left, and the back still looked a little confused.
This house had already been cleaned before Zhang Liang moved in, and now he took his own people and put his things away.
He kept his doubts to the bottom of his heart, put his things down and left to prepare for work.
……
The bustle of the small business market made the businessmen in the city see the profits of this small business again.
For a while, Meng Yi became a hot figure again, and there was an endless stream of people who went to the business yamen to find Meng Yi.
However, no one saw Meng Yi today, and the people in the yamen didn't know where he went.
At this time, Meng Yi was drinking tea face-to-face with Sanghua, and Zhang Liang was sitting next to him.
"Two adults, investigating the business of these shops is the business of your tax yamen, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?"
"You two invited me over early in the morning, just because you want the list in my hand, isn't it too simplistic?"
Because the name of the tax bureau could not be understood, when Sanghua was making a plaque, he asked his subordinates to replace the word "bureau" with the word "yamen".
When Zhang Liang saw it, he immediately understood that this was a rebellion by Sang Hua against Ran Fang.
He didn't take it to heart, walked into the tax yamen with a blank face, and greeted the other people inside very warmly, and didn't mention it when he saw Sanghua.
But when he heard Meng Yi say the words "tax yamen" so easily, he actually had a feeling of betrayal in his heart.
Therefore, when he spoke to Meng Yi, he was not so polite.
"How do you say that, Lord Meng?"
"It's all for Your Majesty, how can you tell the difference between you and me?!"
"It's just a gesture from Lord Meng, and the adults don't want to, don't you have an opinion on Lord Sang, who has just taken office?"
In a word, the contradiction is directly aimed at Sanghua, who is sitting on top of him.
Originally, Sang Hua was sitting there drinking tea calmly, and he was overjoyed when he saw Zhang Liang speak, but he didn't expect Zhang Liang to directly target him.
Although he also felt that Zhang Liang's words were reasonable, after all, this tax yamen was his territory, and he also called Meng Yi over, but when he heard Zhang Liang say this, he still had a feeling of being stabbed in the back.
"What did Master Zhang say about this?"
"This official is also for the sake of the tax yamen, there are so many businesses in Xianyang City, plus the small business markets and factories outside, these are all to be checked as soon as possible, if there is no help from the people, how can you and I give Your Majesty an explanation?"
"If you are blamed by Your Majesty at that time, do you want to say that you and I are not doing things well, or that someone is unwilling to help?"
"Isn't this an injustice to the people of Montenburgh?"
Sang Hua obviously didn't mean to fight with Zhang Liang, but wanted to use words to defeat Meng Yi's psychology.
Sure enough, Meng Yi's face suddenly became a little embarrassed, as if they were all good people, but they were bad people.
But then again, Sanghua's words still make sense.
In addition, he was ashamed of Ran Fang before, but now in front of Zhang Liang, it is not easy to take Qiao.
It's just that he is so embarrassed by the two juniors, where will he put his face as a Zhonglang general?
"I can't see it, but the two of you get along."
"One exhortation, one embarrassment, but it made the official speechless."
"That's it, since they are all doing things for Your Majesty, they should naturally help each other."
"Well, then, in the afternoon you will bring men to me and check for yourselves the business of the city."
"Recently, there have been a lot of affairs in my yamen, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help the two of you."
As he spoke, he turned his head arrogantly, unwilling to look at their smug faces.
He still muttered, "It's just to investigate the business, just go to the shop to check the accounts, what do you have to do with those lists and the price they bought this time?" ”
"I really don't understand you!"
Although this is a complaint, it is obvious that he wants an answer.
The relationship between Zhang Liang and Meng Yi is slightly better, seeing that Meng Yi is indeed a little incomprehensible, he took the initiative to open his mouth to solve his doubts: "The tax yamen has been preparing for a while, and it is inevitable that they are not prepared. ”
"But for the sake of the shop, they will definitely show 100% sincerity and strength, otherwise the disqualification will outweigh the losses."
"Now you haven't been notified for a long time, who has chosen the shop, so they still have integrity."
"From their attitude of giving money, you can see their profits during this time."
"Only by understanding them can you know when you check the accounts, otherwise you won't know anything and go directly to investigate, and you won't know if you are fooled."
"It's good that we suffer losses, but if we delay the collection of taxes, who can afford you and me?"
Now Meng Yi understood, and he didn't follow the mouth.
Seeing that Sang Hua does not object to Zhang Liang's words, it shows that the two have the same opinion.
The two of them have just become colleagues, and they have begun to unite with the outside world, which really makes him a little envious, after all, some of the people who cooperate with him have already lost their lives.
"That'...... How about going now? ”
