Xu Mingyang's words made Li Jiancheng feel a trace of fear, and asked with certainty: "Really?"
He was still thinking before that the inner courtyard of Wang Zhang's family was nothing more than that, so they would help with things if they gave them something, unlike the legendary non-soaked oil and salt.
I thought that as long as they were willing to spend money, there would be nothing impossible for the people who passed Zhang Wang's family. Now, why did you say it from Xu Mingyang's mouth? The meaning has changed.
Xu Mingyang didn't need to ask Li Jiancheng what he thought of things after sending the things, he had already guessed the judgment that came out of the other party's heart.
Once again, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Brother Li, what I said is the truth. I can guess that the things you give to the chamber of commerce should be worth a few hundred, or even a thousand. ?"
Li Jiancheng just nodded.
"Then you know, what is the net worth of the person who receives your money in the Chamber of Commerce? I tell you, at least there are ten thousand people, and there is still that kind of power that is not very large, such as the person who collects your money, will immediately take care of the matter for you , Then his net worth is more than 50,000 Guan, only a lot more.
You said they would care about something you gave? There are two more important points. One is that once they are discovered, they will not only be expelled from the master’s house and become free, but they may even be executed directly by the Zhang family’s family law. They still have relatives. All under the protection of Zhang Wang's family.
Second, they have their own pride and glory, and they can become the inner courtyard of King Zhang's family. In their view, it is the renting of the grave, but not everyone can go to the King's family to be the inner courtyard. Selection and constant assessment are good.
Let me tell you this. Today I talked to the men’s inner courtyard next to the ladies of the two families. They are the subordinates of the two families, but they are different from the subordinates of other families. It's also amazing.
I now say that I’m a governor. I don’t care about Luzhou’s affairs. Don’t say I don’t have any real power yet. Even if I do, the Zhang and Wang family won’t care. Even if I always control everything in Luzhou. , Suddenly stopped.
Then, the few male servants we saw, any one came out, and it took a very short time to take over what I had thrown down. It only took an hour or two, and everything else would not be delayed.
This is the bottom line, but they would rather be the inner courtyard of the Zhang Family's family than change my position, because they can continue to learn, and their children will also get a good education in the future. They actually look down on us like this. Officials whose ability is not outstanding. "
Xu Mingyang said, drinking vigorously, as if he was going to use the wine to reduce the pressure in his heart, to get drunk and relieve his sorrows.
Li Jiancheng stopped his chopsticks and asked in surprise, "Really, isn't the rumors bad?"
"What rumor? Drink." Xu Mingyang raised his glass.
"It means that Datang has two systems for officials and the army. One is in use, and the other is in Zhang Wang's family. The original can be replaced at any time, so I am not afraid that the officials will quit collectively, and I don’t worry about which one. Suddenly something happened in the place, and there is no official position."
Li Jiancheng told the rumors he heard.
"Although it's not all right, but it's not far away. If all the officials in Datang quit at the same time, and the Zhang and Wang family want to support them, they are still short of the fire. But if 60% of the officials dare not, then your majesty will kill people directly. Then Guan Xiaobao and Juanjuan need manpower to fill up the vacant positions to support the administration.
They don't need to have the same number of people in every position. Some of them can do the work of several people. In fact, the government usually has a lot of idle people.
Because of this, many officials in Datang who know the situation are afraid to threaten the court by quitting what they presided over at the local level. This is also true in the army.
The only thing that is not clear is that if the people who can participate in the imperial meeting also quit at the same time, can the people of the Zhang Wang family be able to top it? Know.
Just say, such a person might be bribed by you? People's pride is in their bones. As for me, I want to take bribes or something, but I don't dare. What's more, how much can you give me? After working for a year honestly, I won't get less money.
This is what Xiaobao and Juanjuan proposed to your majesty to nourish integrity with high salaries. The officials have done a good job. When they finish that position, they will look at his role in the local area, how much tax has been raised, and how the local people’s lives are. It's so scary to get a proportional amount of money.
But again, once you make a mistake, and you do it knowingly, the punishment you get is not bad. Your Majesty just announced a decree a few days ago, that is, if you intend to use deception and sabotage local methods to achieve tax increases for this political achievement. Purpose, even if an official is promoted, a few years later, if there is a problem in the original place, the official will be equally unlucky.
Stop talking, stop talking, drink, wait until winter, I will leave Luzhou, although Luzhou is good, but it is too awkward, the people do not treat me as an official. "
When Xu Mingyang drank the wine, he obviously became more talkative, and the frequency of drinking began to increase, it seemed that the wine had run out of strength.
It was complaining, it was helpless, and there was a trace of awe.
Li Jiancheng also drank a lot with him, and he was a little confused, only to suddenly think, don't let Xu Mingyang get drunk, there are still things left to come out, the current state seems to be just right.
So, regardless of whether Xu Mingyang thought he was dirty or not, he used his chopsticks to give Xu Mingyang a few dishes and said: "Eat vegetables and drink slowly, otherwise you can't continue drinking if you are drunk, Brother Xu, do you know your country? The emperor came here, did you ever say what's the matter with me
My heart is turbulent now, and I always find it difficult to rest. I am worried that the emperor will be angry and will send his soldiers to fight over. When the time comes, the people will not have a good life. "
"Eat, you eat too, tell you, your majesty is not afraid of being angry, but you are afraid that the cuckoo is angry. If your majesty is angry, you have to discuss with cuckoo and Xiaobao who you want to fight. The two agree, naturally they will fight, if not Agree, your Majesty will also listen to them, after all, they have a bigger plan and can't just destroy it casually.
The cuckoo is different. If she wants to fight, Xiaobao will find a way to support her. Of course, she doesn't want to fight casually.
Are you worried that they will hit you? Don't worry, let me tell you that you can't fight. It is not too important for you. If you are really ready to fight, Luzhou will not be like the way it is now. The grain and grass have not been assembled yet. What fight
In the past, to fight you, it was not only the navy that needed to help transport troops, but also an army that was specially adapted to mountain warfare. Although the seedling guards of the Zhang family and the two families could also go directly to the war, it was not to that extent.
The seedling guard team is not easy to fight. If you really want to fight you, you have to redeploy your troops. Recently, there has been no such thing as a military deployment. Don't look at Datang's various places to take turns to change defenses. That is to prepare to fight and eat more.
A few days ago, I was guarding the place where I was sending and receiving telegrams. When I was waiting for your Majesty’s news, I received the fact that more food had assembled two thousand troops. It is estimated that my soldiers from Datang have been out for a few days, and the next day I got the news. , They must do all the preparations and dispatch.
Think about it, Datang will fight on both sides? If it is really fighting on both sides, it is also a fight against Japan. It has nothing to do with you. Believe me, especially the wife of Wang Wang and his family is still waiting to have a child in Luzhou. Even if Xiaobao and Juanjuan are beating you, they will not come by themselves. Too many killings, not good.
In addition, they also brought Beckham and others, who have you ever seen with children in war
Hearing me right, your majesty gave you the order to do what you told you to do. Don’t report a fluke. When you go back, call the leader of your Nanzhao. As for the other five emperors, who are they? But come, whoever waits is unlucky, drink. "
Xu Mingyang raised his glass again, the wine in the glass had been spilled out uncontrollably, but he still tried hard to deliver it to his mouth.
Li Jiancheng really didn’t know so many things. Seeing Xu Mingyang drank like this, he was afraid that he would drink it immediately and couldn’t ask questions. He quickly stopped the wine he was about to deliver, and hurry up and asked: "Brother Xu, what are you doing? Do you know so much? They don't avoid you when the court fights?"
"Avoid me? What do you do to avoid me? I didn't betray the interests of Datang. I verbally offended Wang and Wang's family. But I didn't do anything else. What can I do if I see the information? I can't spread it, I If you want to pass it, at least you have to use a telegram, right? I was arrested as soon as it was passed.
That... That's really over. No one can save me. You can't save me. You see, I offended them. I confessed a mistake. I took it softly. Then I'll be fine. I can eat the meal. It's a little troublesome. It's Xiaobei. When they come back, I have to apologize to Xiaobei and them alone.
Children, have to be coaxed, unlike adults, who go around in circles when talking, but I'm not very afraid, but I always feel that I can't live up to face.
What's more, when sending and receiving telegrams, I waited there to listen to the news, not deliberately inquiring about the secrets, and I could not participate in the decision-making, I did not know in detail, now I know that Datang needs to eat more, and I know how to eat more. Hit, I don't know.
How can I say that I am also a third-rank official. It is still possible for the third-rank official to participate in the decision-making of the next court. I guess I didn't ask. If I did, ask your majesty, ask Xiaobao and the cuckoo, they can also tell me some things.
I'm not stupid. Others may hate the person who offends him because of a little personal matter, but the Zhang family will not be fatal. They always give people a chance and just take it.
However, if what I do is to harm Datang, after all, they will kill people. They will be the father. When it comes to it, I'm not as good as, drink, what are you shaking, drink quickly, don't shake it, I'm dizzy. "
As soon as Xu Mingyang couldn't open one eye, the other eye was squinted. His body kept shaking, but he didn't see the double image. It is very difficult for one eye to see the double image. .
"In that case, I listen to you, go back soon?" Li Jiancheng stopped drinking, put down his wine glass and asked again.
"Go back, go back, you must go back, the sooner the better, don't delay it, come back tomorrow? I, I will send you, let's drink, haha, the wine between Haiyun, okay, drink, drink."
As Xu Mingyang said, he slipped under the table.
Li Jiancheng quickly helped him up, dragged him to the paved mat next to him, yelled twice, and what he got was to continue drinking, shook his head helplessly, exhaled, tidy up his clothes, and walked out the door, yes The people in the mansion outside said they were gone, and said when Xu Mingyang woke up.
I said I don't have to give it away, and I will leave immediately today.
If so, Li Jiancheng left the palace, the wind blew, and he became confused, and swayed his hands to gather his followers. He didn’t care if he said he would leave tomorrow, and the order to leave today was changed. If the people didn’t adapt to the situation, he threw everything away. Bring what you want to bribe to the people in the Chamber of Commerce, and let it pass to the Mrs. Zhang Wang and his wife.
So he took the manpower to prepare what to eat on the road, and left in a hurry.
…
Five days after Li Jiancheng walked, he met Li Longji's team on the road, but he didn't even have the intention to stop, and when he saw the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, he said hello to the people in the team who came to interrogate and continued to use the fastest speed. Rush home.
After a few more days, Li Longji, who hadn’t had enough time, decided to return. Playing at the beach this season seems to be not enough, but he can’t continue to delay. There are still hundreds of thousands of mountains that haven’t been there. You can go to Luzhou in the future. Yes, or strolling on the return trip.
I haven't seen many of the scenery in the Shiwanda Mountain, especially the unique flora and fauna. Looking at the capital, it is not as good as visiting the place of production in person.
"Xiaobao, come to me, I have something to ask you." On the return journey, Li Longji still liked to sit on the deck of the bow, blowing the sea breeze, watching the undulating waves.
Today, there was light rain. He had people prop up the shed, sat down, and ate Mala Tang for himself, all seafood. While eating, he saw Zhang Xiaobao coming out to check the various locations, and he greeted him over.
A slightly stronger wind swept over with the rain, Zhang Xiaobao shivered, rubbing his arms with each other, walked under the shed, sat opposite Li Longji, picked up a Li Longji hot squid, and brushed it. Layered the hot sauce, took a bite, exhaled the heat, and felt comfortable, then looked at Li Longji and waited for him to say something.
Li Longji had to put two skewers in the pot again, looked at Zhang Xiaobao, and asked, "Xiaobao, if you grow up, will the ship overturn?"
Zhang Xiaobao looked at Li Longji in amazement, wondering, why did Li Longji remember to ask this? But he nodded: "It is said that there is a big one that can destroy the ship. With our current ship, it can't be dealt with at all, but I haven't seen it."
"Then you say, can we train more things in the sea like we train dogs and eagles, such as sharks, for example, raise a few more octopus that we eat now, and then use them for naval battles."
Li Longji gestured and asked excitedly.
"Uh!" Zhang Xiaobao was choked for a while. It was really unexpected that Li Longji was so prescient.
Continue to nod: "You can raise dolphins, but it’s best to raise dolphins. Dolphins are obedient, but they can’t be used for regular naval battles. Your Majesty said, I thought of another thing, military dogs, which can bomb the enemy’s important places. It’s a pity. , The enemy has no tanks, and it’s a pity to blow up fortifications with dogs.
The day before yesterday, I said that something arrived in Luzhou. It is probably my walking tractor. When I go back, I will show your majesty. It’s fun, and it’s cool to sit on it. "
