"Senior Brother Cheng—"
Yang Si knew that there was a tough battle to be fought next, so he had a good meal to replenish his morale, and went to the "battlefield" with high spirits.
The corners of Cheng Jing's mouth twitched slightly, wondering if he should take Yang Si's "close-up".
Nie Xun on the side looked at Cheng Jing in surprise, with a question mark clearly written in his eyes—
When did Cheng Jing become Yang Si's senior brother
No, why are there innumerable relationships between Liu Xi and Huang Song, whether they are brothers, brothers, or uncles and nephews
Toxic!
Cheng Jing's eyes sank, and he responded with kindness.
Compared with Yang Si's enthusiastic attitude, Cheng Jing's reaction seemed a little indifferent.
Yang Si was not angry, with a smile on his face, determined to use his hot face to stick to other people's cold ass.
"I often hear Mr. Brother mentioning Senior Brother, and see you after a long absence. Senior Brother is really like a dragon and a phoenix, and Si likes it very much as soon as he sees it."
Yang Si was an orphan adopted by Mr. Yuanjing when he was young. Although he was not brought back to Langya County to raise him, his identity was not a secret.
Cheng Jing was Mr. Yuanjing's first apprentice, and it was reasonable for Yang Si to call him "Senior Brother".
"Junior Brother Yang is not bad, and he lives up to the years of teaching of the master."
Cheng Jing smiled but did not laugh.
Nie Xun was trapped in the front, and Cheng Jing did not dare to get too close to Jiang Pengji.
However, Yang Si is thick-skinned enough to act alone in a scene of two people.
Cheng Jing: "..."
So much drama.
Although the teacher went out of the same school, in the face of the conflict of interests, neither of them showed mercy.
Cheng Jing tried his best to fight for the benefits that Huang Song deserved, not only for the territory of Chenzhou, but also for a large number of gentry, family members of court officials, captured generals and soldiers, granaries and arsenals for various passes and important roads... almost He has considered all the places that can be exploited. Yang Si's side is similar, not only to extract oil and water from Huang Song's side, but also to ensure the benefits that have been eaten.
The Dongqing royal family moved the capital to Chenzhou, and took away a large number of gentry and nobles from Dongqing.
Although King Changshou stole a part of it, the talents of the nobles left behind are still considerable, and they can almost support half of the imperial court.
These are invaluable treasures that are far more valuable than land.
If it weren't for Jiang Pengji's different route, this part of the interests could not be given up.
Gentry, officials, their families, and captured soldiers… These can all be given up as appropriate, but grain storage and weapons are more sensitive.
Yang thought wanted to falsely report the figure and secretly swallowed a part, but Chenzhou was occupied by Huang Song first, and they had a detailed account book here.
As long as he proofreads the account book, Cheng Jing can see how much Yang Si has falsely reported.
Even if Yang Si wants to cheat, Cheng Jing can protect most of his interests.
On the contrary, Jiang Pengji has never been involved in the second county of Cangzhou, and has no understanding of the situation in the second county.
Even if Meng Heng was already under her account, Meng Heng didn't know the situation in Cangzhou, so he couldn't help a lot.
Therefore, it is difficult for Yang Si to judge how much Cheng Jing has concealed and falsely reported.
In this case, Yang Si can only rely on his own ability and intuition to judge, and pinpoint the bottom line.
After some negotiation and negotiation, Yang Si seemed to be in high spirits, but in fact, his chest was so hungry that his back was on his back, and his mind was muddled.
"Huang Baigao is really treacherous, just send a Cheng Jing, and add a Nie Xun—"
He was already at a disadvantage, and Yang Si still played two games.
If it wasn't for Yang Si himself being a wily old driver, Cheng Jing and Nie Xun would not have been bitten to the bone by the joint efforts of Cheng Jing and Nie Xun.
"Thanks a lot."
Wei Ci smiled and served Yang Si's food, and the food table was full of what he liked.
As long as there is delicious food, Yang Si's bad mood will also improve.
After barely eating enough, Yang Si had the energy to care about other things.
"What do you mean, my lord? You want to leave the nobles alone?"
Yang Si looked around and saw that there was no one else around, so he bit Wei Ci's ears with confidence.
The relationship between the two is excellent, and they can speak freely. Even if they talk about some "rebellious" things, Yang Si can pull Wei Ci out of the tank.
The lord has coveted Wei Ci for a long time, this is a "gold medal for avoiding death"!
Jiang Pengji secretly instructed Yang Si that if Huang Song wanted to take away the local gentry talents from Cangzhou Second County, he could take them away.
Of course, if Huang Song wants to take away this part of the talent, he must exchange it with equivalent interests.
Wei Ci removed the fishbone from the braised fish, and said, "The lord has the Jinlin Pavilion, and the available talents can be selected almost every one or two months. Although it is not top-notch, it is more pragmatic and credible. Besides, the students of Jinlin Academy It's not bad, there's no need to hold on to the gentry and not let go."
Before Wei Ci could put down his chopsticks, Yang Si had the cheek to snatched the plate away, looking like he was protecting his food.
"In this way, the lord's ambition is not small." Yang Si smiled.
He also came from a poor family, and his background was very low. Naturally, he didn't want a group of nobles who were aloof but had little practical work to point fingers at him.
The behavior of the lord was very pleasing to him.
"Just say this in private, don't shout it out." Wei Ci reminded.
It is a fact that the lord rarely employs the gentry, but the outside world should not be clearly aware of her rejection of the gentry, so as not to provoke resistance.
Yang Si smiled and said, "Si is not a three-year-old child, how could he not know the severity?"
Wei Ci secretly sighed.
Giving up to win over the gentry and giving up the support of this part of the force will inevitably be difficult.
Who let the nobility occupy nearly 60% of the world's wealth
The remaining 30% belongs to the royal family, and only 10% belongs to the common people.
Because Cheng Jing and Nie Xun kept half of their interests, Huang Song's complexion improved a lot.
Next, as long as the forces of the two parties are successfully handed over, the battle of Cangzhou can be brought to a successful conclusion.
Yang Si took the account book to see Jiang Pengji, who was making a sand table.
There are not only rolling hills, hills, and cities on the sand table, but also obvious rivers and borders.
Yang Si saw that the representatives of Beijiang, Chongzhou, Wanzhou, Cangzhou, Hu County and other places had all planted a mini flag.
The flag has a quirky animal head painted on it.
Two black ears, two black eye sockets, it looks like someone has been stuffed twice, and the big face is all white...
Look... how it looks like Wei Ci is an iron-eating beast holding a cat all day long.
"Jingrong is here?" Jiang Pengji raised her head, put down the tool in her hand, and patted the sand in her palm, "How are things going?"
"Fortunately not humiliated."
Speaking of this, I felt a little empty in my heart.
Yang Si has no specific concept of the wealth of Cangzhou Second County, and can only make a rough judgment based on previous years' taxation.
Although I don't know how much profit I can win, it is definitely enough for 40%!
Jiang Pengji flipped through the account book, and the numbers in it were all above her bottom line.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Jiang Pengji showed a satisfied smile.
If you do things well, you will naturally be rewarded.
But apart from food, Jiang Pengji really didn't know that Yang Si had other hobbies.
After thinking about it, I feel that it is better to reward delicious food.
In addition to money, Jiang Pengji gave Yang Si the cook from her house, and she could do whatever she liked, if there were not enough ingredients, she asked her for reimbursement.
Yang Si looked at the sand table. The sand table made by the lord was amazing, as if the entire landscape was reduced and placed on the table.
