The next day, the head of the household.

Li Hong drank several cups of tea in a row, but he still didn't see Shangshu come to see him, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.

"Bang!"

The tea table trembled, and the teacup shattered.

Damn, I was late yesterday, but I came early in the morning...... Li Hong drank violently: "What about the people in the household department? They're all dead! ”

"This, this," a principal trotted in, smiling, "Master Hou is angry, the household department has been busy recently, uh, hehe......"

"Less nonsense!" Li Hong snorted, "I don't care how busy the Hubu Shangshu is, come and see me immediately!" ”

"Oh, Lord Hou......"

"Please call me Lord-sama!"

“…… The Commander-in-Chief. The chief hurriedly changed his words, and said with a sneer: "Lord Shangshu is indeed busy, and he has been ...... in autumn recently."

"Autumn is over! Also, what does the autumn have to do with the household? That's a matter of the Ministry of Human Rites. Li Hong said angrily, "I am on the emperor's orders, why, the emperor's will does not work in Nanzhili?" ”

The big hat was buttoned down, and a person in charge of the household department dared to take it, and said: "Wait a minute, Lord Commander, the next official will go and take a look." ”

For a full two quarters of an hour, the household servant came belatedly, and Shangshu still did not show up.

"Huh...... I haven't seen you for a long time, and Mr. Li's sword is not old......"

"Less nonsense!" Li Hong was unceremoniously, "Silver, three million taels, specially approved by the emperor, immediately!" ”

"This..."The squire sneered, "Since it is the emperor's order, of course the household department obeys the order, but now the household department is also poor." ”

"Poor?" Li Hong smiled, "Are you blind when Ben Hou is blind?" ”

Squire: "......"

Only the Yongqing Hou family pays more than 2 million taxes a year, plus many large households in Jinling, such as Cao Guogong, a pig farmer, the Liu family, and the furniture leader Wang family...... as well as large and small restaurants, inns, brothels, etc.;

The annual tax is not less than 5 million taels, putting aside the maintenance of officials, building roads and bridges, and providing relief to the victims...... and other necessary expenditures, there is still a large surplus.

"Mr. Li ......"

"Call me Yongqinghou!"

“…… Yongqing Marquis, there are also difficulties in the household department! "The household servant spat out his bitterness, "The tax of Tianfu should not be handed over to the capital division, but it has to bear the financial expenditure in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is not just Jinling, today it is waterlogged, Ming'er is drought, and sometimes there will be displaced people, and a city will raise ......"

"Bang!"

The head of the household was trembling and said stupidly: "Of course, the household department will try its best to make up for General Li, but it will take time...... Hey, hey......"

Tobe's feet, both off the ground, kicked the air with both feet, his face full of horror and anger.

Li Hong grabbed his collar with one hand, lifted it, approached, and said: "If you don't allocate money today, if you can continue to be a squire, the chief officer of the Navy Division will also let you do it!" ”

"Ahem, ahem...... There's something to say, there's something to say. The Tobe waiter couldn't breathe well, and his old face was red.

Li Hong put him down and said indifferently: "The official is waiting here, either dial the silver quickly, or ......"

He sneered: "Lao Tzu is going to be rude!" ”

"You, you, do you dare to rebel?" The head of the household must tremble, snorting and panting, "This official is an official appointed and dismissed by the emperor, and he is a ...... of the imperial court."

"You are the ones who will rebel!" Li Hong shouted in a deep voice, "The emperor's will dares to shirk, and he still has the face to say that the emperor, and the face to mention the court?" ”

"In a word! Either give money, or go to Beijing with Benhou, if you have any difficulties, you can confide in the emperor. Li Hong smiled cruelly, "If you don't let Lao Tzu get better, don't let it go!" ”

"No, no, no, didn't say no?" Tobe's squire suddenly felt weak, "You have to give Tobe some time." ”

"I'm giving you time, it's the end of the hour, and there's absolutely plenty of time." Li Hong snorted, and suddenly raised his voice, "Someone!" ”

'Rub ......'

Nearly 100 sailors poured in, all fierce and vicious.

Li Hong said indifferently: "Appropriation, they are here to help, if they don't approve, they are here to detain you...... And your top boss, I'm a rough person, and your big truths will be kept to the emperor at that time. ”

"You're ......!"

"If you can't get an idea, report it, and remember that the household department only has one day." Li Hong's tone was light, "There is no joke in the army, I, the chief officer of the naval division, have been doing it for so long, and I haven't made a joke once." ”

Qinglou.

Li Qing and Tang Bohu had a drink.

It was unusually deserted, with no other guests except for the two of them, and it was no longer as noisy as yesterday.

Qinglou is the property of the Li family, although it is called Qinglou, there are no prostitutes, and it is not big, but it is very exquisite and luxurious!

This is a place where it is used to drink tea and listen to music to talk about business, and the Li family does not expect it to make money.

"I knew that Mr. was extraordinary, but I didn't expect Mr. to be so generous." Tang Bohu exclaimed.

Although he didn't know the origin of the restaurant, he also knew how much energy Li Qing needed to charter the venue and keep his 'fan brothers' and 'fan sisters' out.

"The old people reminisce about the past, so naturally they should be quieter, and I don't like to be noisy." Li Qing smiled, looking at Tang Bohu's half of his white hair, and couldn't help but sigh.

Are the great talents in history also so ill-fated?

Tang Bohu nodded happily and said in surprise: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for ten years, and we haven't seen each other for ten years, and Mr. has not lost any of his demeanor back then!" ”

"I'm a doctor, and I'm also a Taoist priest, and I know how to maintain health." Li Qing lied as commonplace, took a sip of wine, and said: "The past is gone, you are a talented person, now the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, developing rapidly, and you also need talents like you...... No, there will be a triple yuan at that time! ”

"Lianzhong Sanyuan ......," Tang Bohu muttered, and then laughed, "It's not impossible!" ”

At this moment, he was decadent and full of confidence.

However, such arrogance, but not disobedient, is like ...... That's how it should be.

Xiaoyun, Xiaoyun, you have a strong competitor now...... Li Qing secretly compared the two.

The two are about the same age, and they will be candidates in the same subject next year, and they are both very human, their families are well-off, and although their personalities are different, they both have uninhibited attributes...... Li Qing is looking forward to it.

However, although he is still more optimistic about Xiaoyun, Li Qing does not have enough confidence in Wang Shouren in terms of the results of the imperial examination.

Or rather, Tang Bohu's talent is too strong!

Whether it is the popularity of later generations or the current fame in Jiangnan, it is not comparable to Wang Shouren.

The name is also a kind of potential! With it, you can do more with less.

It can push people higher and farther.

Li Qing believed that it would not be long before Tang Bohu's fame spread throughout the capital.

First, most literati have always liked to be vassal, and second, Tang Bohu's reputation is too loud and his potential is too strong; There is no shortage of officials who are catching up.

In this way, Tang Bohu's career will be smooth.

"Then I wish Brother Tang three yuan in advance." Li Qing raised his glass.

'Ding! ’

The two of them drank it all, and Tang Bohu smiled: "It will definitely live up to expectations!" ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile: "I have a friend in Jingshi, named Wang Shouren, next year you will be candidates in the same subject, if you have time to see him, you can talk more." ”

Tang Bohu is talented, but in the future, there is a high probability that he will not be as good as Wang Shouren, if the two can become friends and learn from each other's strengths, it will be a win-win situation.

Of course, Li Qing thought so, but he didn't dare to guarantee whether it would work out.

There is nothing to lose, take a step of idle chess, and there is nothing to lose.

Goodbye Tang Bohu, he lost the excitement he had for the first time, but he still had a filter for him, although there were not many intersections, let alone friendship, Li Qing wanted to help him.

"Sir's friend, Bohu is afraid that he can't climb high!" Tang Bohu said.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Your Tang genius is so famous, you can't say that you can't climb high, at that time, just report my name." ”

"I don't know the name of Mr. ......"

"Li Qing."

…

Yongqing Marquis Mansion.

As soon as Li Qing came back, Li Xue'er stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Li, have you gone to see that Tang Bohu?" ”

"Well, you didn't feel indifferent to him, so I didn't take you with me." Li Qing said with a smile, in a good mood.

Seeing him like this, Li Xue'er grinned and said, "Grandpa Li, my granddaughter wants to beg you for something." ”

"Do you want to go to sea with us?"

"Huh?" Li Xue'er opened her mouth wide in surprise, "Grandpa Li, you are really a god, you guessed it before I even said it." ”

"It's not difficult, referring to your previous runaway from home, and then looking at your flattering appearance, I can't guess it?" Li Qing smiled.

Li Xue'er nodded her head with an expectant expression, "So...... May I? ”

"No, you can't." Li Qing smiled and ruthlessly refused.

"Why?"

"How can there be a sailor who goes to sea and takes a woman?" Li Qing rolled his eyes and said, "You were the master of the Ming Dynasty, and your family opened it?" ”

“…… Be cautious, be cautious. Li Xue'er looked left and right, and saw that there was no one else, so she patted her chest, "Grandpa Li, can you not be like this...... Unscrupulous, huh? ”

"Virtue." Li Qing pursed her lips and hummed: "You have not been out of the cabinet, you have to be reserved, do you understand?" ”

Li Xueer was not angry: "My mother can do it, why can't I?" ”

"Who made her your mother?" Li Qing spread his hands.

"......" Li Xue'er didn't give up, "Grandpa Li, you just take me, you'd better ......"

"Get out! Push to pump you again!! Li Qing brushed his face.

“…… Count you ruthless, I won't kiss you. ”

Hehe, I'm not one worse than you...... Li Qing snorted and turned around and went to the library pavilion.

…

"Insulting Sven, insulting Sven......"

The head of the household and the waiter, looking at the silver being moved, rubbed the collar of their clothes, and at the same time were angry, and their mouths were gushing, "Vulgar and unbearable, vain general......"

Balabala......

Suddenly, seeing that Mr. Li turned his horse's head and returned, the two of them were busy, managed their emotions, and stepped forward and said, "Mr. Li still has something to do?" ”

Li Hong smiled: "Gangjing is happy...... Ahem, thank you for your cooperation today, haha...... Thanks a lot! ”

Arching his hand, Li Hong drove away.

How can he not understand the rules of officialdom?

However, the two didn't buy it, but became more and more angry!

Murder still has to be punished?
