This is really hot potato!
Staring at the earthen ceremonies piled in the corner of the carriage, Sun Shaozong's face was full of bad luck.
It's not that he couldn't understand Xu Furen's thoughts of worrying about the country and the people.
But the problem is that although the main and young ministers suspect that although it is easy to overturn the car and assist the prince, the 'A Dou', it may not be much better.
However, Sun Shaozong could only think about such thoughts in his heart, and after all, he did not dare to put them on the bright side.
"Second Master."
At this time, Zhang Cheng, who was outside, waited for a long time, but Sun Shaozong never spoke, so he had to ask for instructions: "Should we go back to the yamen now, or should we just go home?"
Sun Shaozong didn't answer immediately, and stared at the gifts for a moment before he ordered, "Go back to the manor!"
Although these gifts had to be sent to the Prince's Mansion, Sun Shaozong could make up his own mind whether to send them early or late.
Let's make some time first, let yourself think clearly about the pros and cons of bringing this matter to the Sun family, and figure out how to deal with it, and then it's not too late to send the gift.
It's a pity that the eldest brother is not in the capital at the moment, and there is no one to discuss with - if you want something else, Yu Qian can help you with more details, but it involves the battle for imperial lineage. is a heart.
Speechless all the way.
When I got back to my house, I saw a few scooters parked near the stable, and more than a dozen servants were shouting and unloading things.
"how?"
While Sun Shaozong jumped off the carriage and drove to the backyard, he asked casually, "How many carts did you collect for good materials?"
Zhao Zhongji, who had been close to him early, smiled and said, "There is some leather, but most of them are miscellaneous things, not worth a lot of money, just a rare thing."
Sun Shaozong stopped when he heard the words, turned around and swept the scooters again. Seeing that the goods that had not been unloaded also had traces of being turned over, he asked again with a low voice: "The Chongwenmen have already been sent to Chongwenmen. Have you checked?"
Zhao Zhongji hurriedly replied: "It was said that this morning, they opened a detailed examination at the city gate."
This cheap big brother of his own is really a leak-tight.
Those precious things sent to the capital last time did not let the tax supervisor of Chongwenmen move a finger.
And now, these local products are specially spread out in the Chongwenmen to 'dry', which makes people want to make a fuss about this matter, and there is no seriousness.
This also gave Sun Shaozong a wake-up call.
Originally, according to the plan, in order to ensure safety on the road, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that the Sun family and Wang Xifeng had in Jinling would be handed over to the counter-insurgents led by Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian to escort them into Beijing.
Now that I think about it, this method is stable, but I am afraid that it is not very appropriate.
After all, although the money was not considered stolen money, it was also used for the wool of the Great Zhou court, and then mixed with the people of Huguang to suppress the rebellion.
Looks like you have to plan something else...
Sun Zheng pondered while rushing to the study in the backyard, when he heard someone flying behind him chasing after him. Sun Shaozong looked back, but it was Wang Jin.
Seeing Wang Jin, Sun Shaozong remembered another person.
Seeing that there was still some distance away, he turned his head and asked Zhao Zhongji, "How is Liu Quan lately?"
"this… "
Zhao Zhongji's shoulders slumped down, his face full of hesitation.
Just look at his expression, and there is no need to say the rest - it is estimated that Liu Quan not only did not reflect, but also gave birth to some resentment.
ah~
Sun Shaozong sighed helplessly. People in the world often despise the style of 'birds hide their bows, rabbits die and dogs cook', but sometimes, as a high-ranking person, there is really no other way.
As far as Liu Quan's face has been shown recently, if he were to sit in the second housekeeper's position, he would have to push his nose on his face and pinch Zhao Zhongji.
Originally, Sun Shaozong also hoped that through the beating warnings in the past few days, he would be able to know his advance and retreat.
But right now it seems...
"Second Master."
At this time, Wang Jin finally came to the front, bowed with a red face, and offered a big red gift with both hands: "Master Xiong sent a few boxes of seafood."
When Sun Shaozong received the gift list, he added: "The servant who escorted the aquatic products also said that Mr. Xiong originally wanted to collect some Korean ginseng, deer antler, mink and other items to honor your old age, but recently, the number of ships trading with North Korea has been reduced by half. , there is really nowhere to touch.”
The so-called Lord Xiong refers to Xiong Guang, the only scholar under Sun Shaozong's sect, who was accepted when he was an envoy for the Autumn Festival.
Originally, it was just a name. Later, Sun Shaozong entrusted the relationship and recommended that he be appointed as a fat vacancy in the Zhili Commissioner, and it was only after two li that the teacher-student relationship was really established.
And after that, Mr. Xiong Guang always had to pay filial piety to some local rituals during the festivals.
So Sun Shaozong didn't care at first, but when he heard the words about North Korea later, he couldn't help frowning.
Since three years ago, Jinmenfu has been opened as a trading port with North Korea. Although it is easier to communicate with Shandong and the Korean peninsula, the court felt that setting up a port near Jinmenfu would be more convenient to control.
Xiong Guang was inexplicable, and when people brought these words to himself, he obviously also vaguely sensed that there was something unusual in North Korea.
It seems that I was in a hurry to report before, and it is not unfounded.
wrong!
Although Xiong Guang is in a confidential position, he is not an official close to the people, and he is not responsible for managing port trade.
Since even he noticed something was wrong, could the imperial court not be aware of it at all
It seems that the muddy water here is deeper than I imagined.
Frowning and pondering for a while, Sun Shaozong suddenly felt a little nostalgic. The days when he was in the grip of military and political power in Wuxi Prefecture - back then, there were no such things as clouds and mountains and fog, and he needed to work hard to figure it out.
It's a pity that he has just returned to Beijing, and it is basically an impossible delusion to seek to be released in the near future.
That's all~
It's useless to think about these things, so let's deal with the matter at hand first.
He waved his hand and signaled Wang Jin to retreat first, and Sun Shaozong instructed Zhao Zhongji, "You can ask for two hundred taels of silver to buy a ready-made house in the outer city. The specifications are the same as that of Butler Wei's previous garden, minus one grade. ."
Zhao Zhongji rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and roughly guessed what Sun Shaozong meant, but his face looked awkward at random.
He faltered and reminded: "At this time, he is afraid that he may not be able to accept the relationship. Although most of the things in the south are presided over by Master Cheng, he is also involved after all, in case he is blinded by lard. Climbing indiscriminately, although it may not be able to help Second Master, it is also troublesome after all..."
"You don't have to worry about it, I naturally have other arrangements."
Sun Shaozong interrupted him, but he was thinking about what kind of future should be arranged for Liu Quan, so that he would not be dissatisfied and not give him the opportunity to become a corrupt official.
ah~
Sure enough, it's still the method of 'death a cunning rabbit, cooking a running dog', which is simple and convenient!
