Wu Da was thinking hard about how to wrestle with Master Cishi, the starting point was ready, after all, Wu's workshop was closed.
However, there are also problems.
The reason why the workshop was blocked at the time was because the killer sneaked in and a melee broke out. Lord Cishi sent someone to collect evidence, and there was no place to use it.
What's more, the senior officials of Ximen sent people to guard the entrance of the workshop, and the people of the governor did not get into the workshop at all, and it was not easy for Wu University to take this issue.
However, Shanren has a clever plan.
After pondering for a long time, Wu Da prepared a generous gift and went to visit the county magistrate.
Today's Wuhan University has a different status. Regardless of other things for the time being, the rank of his seventh-ranked Cavalier Wu is equal to that of the magistrate.
The magistrate personally came to the door to greet the Wuhan University, "The military officials are rare visitors, why do you think of my old bone? How often do you...?"
Halfway through the conversation, it suddenly stopped.
But the University of Wuhan understands it. The magistrate thinks that he has not come here, and complains that he seems to be inferior to others.
Wu Da laughed bitterly, and pretended to say helplessly: "Mr. County Master, you know, I just wanted to survive in this troubled world, earn some money and eat and die, but I didn’t want to be troubled. Your lord, if you add a block, I will naturally come less."
When dealing with officials in the imperial court, you have to learn how to play with the machine, you can't speak too much, so as not to be offensive, and the clouds and mists that can't be said make people think too much about the province.
The meaning of Wu Da's remarks is very simple. Lord Cishi didn't wait to see him, and Cai Mansion in Bianjing was not pleasing to his eyes. He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to the magistrate, so he didn't dare to visit him this time.
Don't underestimate a small seven-level county magistrate. He can stand upright in Yanggu County, which has stirred up the situation of Wuhan University. He can neither sin against the superiors nor against the Wuhan University. This is a slick and witty guy.
Sure enough, the magistrate understood the meaning of Wuhan University in an instant. He laughed loudly, with an expression of admiration in his eyes, and said: "The military officials are more frustrated and brave. They are young and promising. He will not be a thing in the pool. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep you in the small Yanggu County. Please come to the mansion and talk about the new tea just served this year. Please taste the new tea just served this year."
The magistrate’s residence was not luxurious, it was simple, and the furniture was old and tattered.
This is the way to be an official. Wu Da knows that this old guy can make so many yards just with the money he has taken from his hands, but people hide all the money, and his wealth is not revealed.
After the servants had tea, all the people who were very witty retired, leaving enough private space for the magistrate and Wuhan University to talk.
"Military officer, please."
Wuhan University does not know how to taste tea, but still understands the pretense, took a sip, and praised: "Good tea."
The magistrate is a master of tea ceremony. Naturally, he knew that Wuhan University didn’t understand tea, but he didn’t order it either. He just laughed and said:
"The military officials like it."
Wu Da knew well that for this kind of old oil from officialdom, the magistrate would never answer if he didn't just go straight into it. So Wu Da didn't go around the circle, and went straight to the subject and asked:
"My lord, how about the tax revenue of Yanggu County this year?"
The magistrate's heart was stunned, and his eyes were Wei Mi, "It's okay."
The old fox is the old fox. He doesn't take the bait anymore. Wu University can only say more directly: "My Wu family, I can do my best for you..."
The magistrate smiled bitterly.
Speaking of this, they are all smart people, and the county magistrate already knows the purpose of Wuhan University.
However, he did not want to intervene in this matter, so he rarely vomited the truth to Wu Da:
"Military officer, your feast with Master Cishi, the officer really doesn't want to intervene, nor dare to intervene, you can spare me this old bone."
If you can be the governor of a state, how can you be an idler? The magistrate did not dare to intervene.
But now that Wuhan University is here, it is naturally well prepared.
"The magistrate has been in this position in Yanggu County for many years, right? Don't you want to climb up again?"
The magistrate subconsciously glanced at Wuhan University.
Can be promoted, who doesn't want to be promoted? But this year, promotion is not so easy.
"Military officer, what exactly do you intend to do, why don't you just say it?"
Wuhan University took a sip of the teacup and slowly said, “I know that the county adults are masters of the tea ceremony, and people are like this tea. You have to taste it slowly before you know if the fragrance suits your taste. Wu has been living in Yanggu County since then. , I have been under your care, and I personally think that with your abilities, staying in this position as the magistrate is worthy of your talent."
The magistrate was silent for a long time, but never answered.
Wuhan University said lightly: "Although I don’t know the tea ceremony, I also know that to make a good pot of tea, the requirements for water quality and utensils are extremely high. It is like being an official. You have to learn to stand in line, and you have to stand in line. Choosing the wrong choice will not only have no hope of getting promoted and fortune in your life, but you may be worried about your life at any time. What do you think?"
This is a bit bullying. The county magistrate knew well that Wuhan University was holding the Tong family's power to pull the tiger's skin, but he had to admit that this step was so wonderful that it happened to be stuck in his throat.
"After choosing the utensils, the tea making process is exquisite. Not only do you need to iron the pot and warm the cup, but also divide it into'high punch' and'low foam.' Drinking, pouring, and clearing can be summed up in eight words. Is what Wu said right?"
The magistrate squinted his eyes and said, "Unexpectedly, the military officials are also fellows."
Will Lao Zhi tell you that Lao Zhi's first family opened a teahouse? How else did you tell the old man Wang Po to run the tea house when you first crossed over? Wu Da slandered in his heart, but said in his mouth:
"Hot pots and warm cups, just like adults need to make some eye-catching preparations. If these preparations are done in place, then your path to promotion will naturally not be a problem. I might as well talk to you. To put it bluntly, in my workshop, the Tong family has a certain dividend. If the magistrate can help in this matter, I believe that the Tong family will definitely be visible."
The magistrate pondered for a long time, and asked: "With your martial arts officer's ability, you should be able to unblock the workshop by hand. Why do you have to get the official?"
Wu Da shook his head, "After all, Wu can't be regarded as a member of the officialdom. If he acts without authorization, he will break the rules, and I am afraid it will be inconvenient."
In fact, before the visit of Wuhan University, the magistrate had already thought of the purpose of Wuhan University.
People can't help themselves in the arena, and the same is true in officialdom.
When Wuhan University stirs up the situation in Yanggu, the county magistrate must make a choice, otherwise, he might be left on the sidelines.
"If the officer makes a move, can the military officials protect me?"
Wu Da slightly nodded, "That's natural."
The two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
"The Wutai official's workshop was closed, and Yanggu County's tax revenue was severely damaged. The Ming Japanese officials sent people to the Governor's Office to call for grievances!"
