Wen Chen frowned and muttered in a low voice, "Exchange human lives for silver......"

"What did Gong Wen say?" Liu Taichang didn't seem to hear clearly, and turned his head and asked.

Wen Chen shook his head, "It's nothing. ”

"His Royal Highness is talking about cooperation?"

"It's not hard to talk to smart people!"

Miao Gongzi folded the fan and said, "That's right, there are less than two months, which is the day when I change the miners in the 19 ore veins in Yuzhou, in previous years, this matter was the responsibility of Gonggong Wei, and the mine supervisors sent by the imperial court were also his subordinates, but now that Wei Cheng is dead, this beauty difference will naturally fall on Gong Wen!" ”

From the beginning of the Dasheng Dynasty, the mine supervisors were assigned by the emperor's cronies and eunuchs to help the emperor supervise the amount of minerals that had been taxed.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this mine supervisor is a beautiful and poor country, and they have the final say on how much mineral energy is produced each year and how much tax is levied, and if the miners want to seek improper benefits from it, they must first buy off the mine supervisor and change the accounts.

But in this way, the risk is also very large, these eunuchs who are mine supervisors, if they don't have a tough backer, they will never dare to accept bribes privately, once this kind of thing is caught, it is a big crime to punish the nine clans!

Therefore, if the mine supervisor wants to benefit from it, he must be filial to his father-in-law.

The adults said okay, and the people below dared to throw off their arms and do it.

Wen Chen took a long breath, "The prince and the prince want the lower officials to replace Wei Cheng and arrange some of their own people in the team of the mine supervisor, right?" ”

Miao Gongzi bowed slightly, "That's the case, but Duke Wen wants to earn this silver tael, it's not enough to do this, this time the court issued a list of replacement miners, some people are not brave enough, or it can also be said that they don't know how to lift, Xiao Wang wants to kick them out, change some obedient people in, this matter Wen Gong also has to help Xiao Wang talk in front of His Majesty." ”

Dasheng's move to change miners every five years is to avoid collusion between officials and businessmen after getting acquainted with each other, which will bring losses to the imperial court, and each time the appointed candidates are from all over Dasheng Kyushu, if local officials want to buy, each wave of substitutions will cost a lot of money and connections.

But if this matter is solved from the source and the list is replaced with his own people at the beginning, then it can save a lot of trouble for King Zhennan.

"Hiss......"

"That's not right......"

Wen Chen looked embarrassed, in fact, he was already happy in his heart, this is in a hurry to let himself go to his Zhennan King to arrange manpower!

But this kind of thing must not be promised too refreshingly, any corrupt official will only be corrupted after a fierce ideological struggle, as soon as he comes up, he will rush to meet the conditions of the interview, either he is a fool who is not greedy enough to swallow an elephant, or he has another purpose, with Liu Taichang's thoughts, he will see at a glance that he has a problem!

"What's wrong?" Miao Gongzi said with a smile.

In his opinion, Wen Chen is now the best candidate to replace Wei Cheng, young enough, with brains, and the most important thing is that what he wants can be completely satisfied by himself.

"It has been less than two months since Xia Guan entered the palace, thanks to His Majesty's favor and trust, he has such a field today, if he deceives the king because of his own selfish desires, then I, Wen someone, will not become an ungrateful person who is spurned by everyone?" Wen Chen frowned.

"It turns out that Gong Wen can't pass that level in his heart......" Liu Taichang patted him on the shoulder, "Brother Wen thinks, what is Your Majesty?" ”

Wen Chen looked puzzled, "Friend? ”

"Neither nor not!" Miao Gongzi snorted, "In the eyes of His Majesty, everyone in the world is his minion, and Gong Wen, you are just a minion who is a little more useful!" ”

"Gong Wen thinks about it, if you don't have the means and talent, why would Your Majesty only favor you? Could it be that he inherently owes you? ”

Wen Chen lowered his head and was silent, but the corners of his mouth were quietly hooked, you know a fart, isn't it because Lao Tzu is good at work?

"Duke Wen and Xiao Wang are both people who serve His Majesty, and they live this life just to make themselves more comfortable, in this huge palace city, the most taboo thing is to talk about feelings, you see Wei Cheng has been busy for most of his life, and he is still thinking about His Majesty's safety when he is dying, what will happen in the end?"

"I don't have relatives, and I don't have any heirs, and now at most I have a reputation of loyalty and patriotism, and this reputation is not recognized by most civil and military officials, does Duke Wen want to be like that Wei Cheng, who has suffered all his life, but after a hundred years, he is cheaper to others?"

Mrs. Liu often spoke earnestly and persuaded bitterly.

"Take 10,000 steps back, even if Duke Wen is sincere to His Majesty, but what you take is only a small part that Your Majesty doesn't care about, and there are thousands of dollars in the world, aren't they all Your Majesty's? You've done your best for me, what's wrong with that? Shouldn't it?! ”

His Royal Highness thinks that his ability to persuade people to obey evil is first-class, even if he is a monk who has attained enlightenment in the temple, he has to worry about incense money when he is hungry, let alone a mortal who is influenced by desire every day in the world?

Wen Chen hesitated, and his expression was complicated for a while, "This matter has to be allowed to be thought about carefully......"

Hearing this, Miao Gongzi suddenly showed a happy smile on his face, he was very sure that this matter was already eight or nine years old!

"Don't worry, Xiao Wang still has to stay in this Shangjing City for a while, if Gong Wen thinks about it, he can come to Xiao Wang at any time!"

Wen Chen nodded silently, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, the fox tail of this Zhennan King was finally pulled out by himself!

However, this matter still has to be discussed with the little emperor, if you want to completely win the trust of the father and son, if you don't put fat bait, I'm afraid the fish will not be able to take the bait!

Moreover, in Wen Chen's opinion, the ultimate goal of breaking into the Zhennanwang group is to help the little emperor completely eradicate the root of this disease, and it is far from enough to control the Yuzhou vein, and the hundreds of thousands of troops will always be a troublesome matter if they are not eliminated!

When the two returned to the Baohe Palace, the banquet was reaching its climax, and in the center of the main hall, a fair woman wearing a light veil was dancing, and the ministers were pushing cups and changing lamps, and their eyes were gradually a little hazy.

Wen Chen glanced at the palace, the Queen Mother was no longer sitting next to the little emperor, it was estimated that she had returned to the palace to rest, only Concubine Jing had been accompanying her, and the eyes of the two had never moved to themselves since they entered the palace.

And Xuanyang, who was beaten in the buttocks, still doesn't look very good now, listening to Han Chuang and a group of other generals on the opposite side laughing loudly from time to time, raising a glass and drinking, with a look of envy on his face.

Wen Chen walked by, picked up the wine glass from his table, filled it, and leaned over.

"Our family respects the county lord for a cup, you and I laugh at the grudge, how about it?"

Xuanyang rolled his eyes, raised his hand to snatch Wen Chen's wine glass and poured it down, slamming the silver bowl on his table for eating.

"If you want to drink, use this drink!"

Wen Chen raised his eyebrows, hey? The folk customs of the northwest are really strong, but when it comes to drinking, Lao Tzu is really not afraid of anyone!

He turned his head and took his silver bowl from the table, and picked up the flask and filled it with a clatter.

"Two punches?"

"Just scratch, this palace is still afraid of you as a little eunuch?" Xuanyang snorted disdainfully, and when he rolled up his sleeves and turned around, he accidentally rubbed the sore spot again, and immediately hated it!

Immediately, the face is hideous!

"Punching? Stroke a fart! He scolded and grabbed Wen Chen by the collar, hugged his neck and dragged him into his arms!

Wen Chen was lying on his back on the lap of the little black bean, and for a moment his vision was obscured by two thick black shadows.

"What's the matter, the county lord is breastfeeding?"

"you!" Xuanyang Qiao's face flushed, and he didn't care whether Wen Chen wanted to or not, he poured it into his mouth with all his might, and his unreasonable behavior made a group of ministers tremble.

"How did Wen Chen offend the county lord, why did the county lord get so angry?"

"What did this kid do again, the county lord saw it, leave them alone, you and I drink!"
