stand back, let me come

Chapter 1157: It's Difficult (Part 1157) [Seeking a Monthly Ticket]

"A little job?"

The fact that Shen Tang's two incarnations were running around had not been officially made public, and very few people knew about it. Even Xun Zhen didn't know what Shen Tang [Zixu Wuyou] was doing. When he heard that [Wuyou] had opened a small account and went to the enemy country to seek a job, Xun Zhen immediately thought of the history of his master's rise to wealth, and his eyes were bright and bright, "How much did Wuyou earn..."

Xun Zhen was ruthlessly interrupted by Shen Tang before he could finish his words.

"Han Zhang, please leave some for me."

It's so shameful that the leader of a country doesn't even have any private money.

Xun Zhen stopped smiling awkwardly.

He said solemnly, "That's not what I meant."

Shen Tang held the account book and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xun Zhen put on a righteous attitude: "Whether it is fictitious or not, both are the incarnation of the master. The accumulated foundation is not also the master's? The subordinates accepted in the future are not also the subjects of Kangguo? In this case, should the Ministry of Revenue also intervene in the salary and national destiny? Master, I will handle official affairs impartially and impartially, and I will never have any personal grudges!"

Every word he spoke was sonorous and powerful.

If Shen Tang hadn't been fooled by this, he would have been confused long ago.

She asked in return: "Can the salary from the Ministry of Revenue be paid?"

The branch company's accounts are independent, and Xun Zhen must not be allowed to harm the money in the account, otherwise how can the new company be built? Shen Tang silenced Xun Zhen with a few words. He had to give up temporarily.

Xun Zhen also knew that you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

No matter how much money [Zixu] and [Wuyou] make, or how powerful they are, as Kangguo expands its territory, they will all be annexed and integrated by Kangguo. The accounts and warehouses of the two places will sooner or later fall into his hands. Thinking of this, his eyes became more eager.

He seemed to have seen a future of endless waste.

Shen Tang: "..."

Xun Zhen pulled himself out of his reverie and remembered that his master was still by his side. He asked with concern, "What job has your master planned?"

Is there anyone who needs your help in solving a problem?

Shen Tang said: "Not bad, a small county magistrate."

"You mean the county magistrate?"

With Xun Zhen's current status, the position of county magistrate is indeed not very important, but [Wu You] has no foundation in Qi State, and he was able to take office successfully just by Cui's recommendation... This shows that Cui's face and connections in Qi State are indeed strong. Before going to bed every day, Shen Tang would synchronize the day's experience with the two incarnations. The mental burden was a bit heavy, but the advantage was that the news was timely and there was no misjudgment.

She said, "It's a poor county in the southernmost part of Qi State."

Thinking about the situation in that place, she sighed, "It really has nothing. The Heyin County back then was better than this. Heyin County was at least a poor and barren place with unruly people. If reason can't persuade them, they can use fists, and the unruly people can also be turned into good citizens. That place is terrible. There are not many families within a hundred miles... There are miasma and mosquitoes everywhere, and the cockroaches are as big as my palm!"

The few local common people make their living by fishing.

There were many mountains and rivers but few fields. Floods and plagues happened every now and then. The common people under his rule were all starving and malnourished.

[Wu You] was clamoring every day to get someone over there.

This start is even more difficult than the Ha Yin period.

During the He Yin period, he was poor, but at least he had his own people to help him. On the first night after [Wu You] arrived at the destination, he checked into the abandoned post station. As soon as he opened the door, several cockroaches rushed towards him. Shen Tang updated [Wu You]'s memory. That night, he had a horrible nightmare of being crushed by countless palm-sized cockroaches.

Not lethal, just disgusting.

Xun Zhen asked worriedly, "Is this the only place?"

Since he had to use the backdoor anyway, he might as well pick a better place to take up the post. The master's temperament rarely speaks out his "bitterness", and he digests it by himself. Now he is complaining bitterly, which shows that the place is really not good, and Xun Zhen feels distressed when he hears it.

Shen Tang said: "Alas, we can't trouble Ke Wu too much."

  Who doesn’t want a lucrative job?

The fatter it is, the more people will fight for it, and the more eye-catching it is.

Shen Tang just wanted to grow up quietly for two years, and the less she felt, the better. It was not easy for Cui Hui to deal with her ex-husband. If he really helped her find a good job, she would have a lot of trouble in the future. She had a lot of experience in starting from scratch, so she just needed to survive the initial stage of starting a business.

Xun Zhen didn't understand the situation in Qi State, so he couldn't give much advice. He said, "Domestic business houses have dealings with various countries. We can place people there and secretly send some people to the Lord."

No matter how much experience you have in starting from scratch, you still need manpower.

Shen Tang said: "That's what I meant, but don't make it too obvious. Wait until I've made arrangements. Ke Wu's ex-husband, the man named Cui Zhishan, is also a shrewd man..."

Putting the blame on Qishan will not solve the problem once and for all.

"…Pearls are very popular in Kangguo, and the supply is in short supply. That place is suitable for pearl cultivation, and the quality is not bad. I plan to wait until the place is stable, and then arrange for domestic businesses to contact and purchase them, and have secret dealings with them." Cui Zhi is, after all, a busy family head. Even if he is keeping an eye on Wuyou, he can't keep an eye on him all the time. Pearl cultivation boosts the local economy and attracts people. One sells, the other buys. It is a normal business behavior, and Cui Zhi can't find any problems.

certainly--

The merchants who go to buy pearls must be our own people.

Shen Tang already had a plan in mind regarding the candidate.

Xun Zhen said: "We have our own."

Isn't this stealing our own business?

Shen Tang smiled and said, "So we need to expand into more markets."

Famous officials and scholars can set diamonds on fire, so they can also set pearls on fire in a similar way. Because of the Gongxi Chou brothers, pearls have always been popular in Kangguo, and the supply is in short supply. If they open up markets in other countries, Kangguo can also resell pearls.

You can make some money while using the pearl business as a cover.

Shen Tang tapped the table with his fingers, thinking about the plan, and said slowly: "That place is also suitable for growing rice, but it is difficult to open up the land, and it takes time to cultivate high-quality grain. Oh, I want Lin Feng to change his vest to help me."

If you want to eat your fill, you can’t do without your big baby Lin Feng.

[Wuyou] at least got the upper hand, but [Zixu] was more unrestrained, a complete bully enemy tour group, doing justice wherever they went, specifically looking for trouble with local bullies. They also recruited a group of people with their fists, but I don't know what the customs are there. After the victory, more than one person pulled his hand into his crotch and pulled out a corner of his calf-neck pants.

The unrestrained and bizarre scene shocked Xiahou Yu and Gu De.

[How disgraceful! ]

[You are disgracing the civilized world! ]

Xiahou Yu almost drew his sword when he reacted.

  In his opinion, the defeated party not only did not beg for mercy and surrender, but instead pulled out the dirty calf-nose pants, which clearly showed that they were unwilling to accept the defeat and wanted to humiliate others with the dirty stuff! It was no wonder that Xiahou Yu misunderstood. The calf-nose pants were used to wrap the anus and front roots. One was stained with urine and the other was stained with feces. If the personal hygiene was poor, the calf-nose pants would be turbid in color and smelled bad, which made people feel sick just by looking at them!

Before Xiahou Yu drew his sword, the defeated were all dumbfounded.

He quickly stopped and waved his hands.

[No, no... I misunderstood, I misunderstood...]

[Shut up, what misunderstanding is there? ]

The thief wouldn't think that taking out the calf-nose pants means surrender, right?

Haha, even if it’s not right, it’s not far off either.

The bully who dodged Xiahou Yu's sword but was kicked by the mule cried out in pain, kneeling on the ground and telling the truth. He really didn't mean to humiliate Shen Zixu Tang. Their rangers are like this, the winner can get the loser's calf-nose pants. Such a private thing, isn't it enough to represent the glory of the winner and the shame of the loser?

However, he was relatively poor, and he did not carry a clean, unused pair of calf-nose pants.

I can only take out the one I have already used.

Most of the rangers are rough guys, and they don’t really care about being dirty.

As long as this pair of calf-nose pants carries a piece of victory, that's enough.

Xiahou Yu was dumbfounded, Gu De was speechless, Shen Zixu Tang said disdainfully: […Are you seriously ill? ]

Collecting the calf-nose pants of the defeated, what a perverted hobby!

The bully said that this custom has a long history.

Well, it was transmitted by several powerful countries in the Central Continent.

If it becomes popular, it makes sense.

Zixu relied on robbing the rich to help the poor and "collecting calf-nose pants" to expand his business little by little. However, he was a mixed crowd of people from all walks of life. People who didn't know the situation thought they were a group of bullies from somewhere! Zixu was planning to find a place to live in Qi State.

Alas, there are people but no land in Zixu, and there are land but no people in Wuxu…

The only thing in common is that they are all poor and their styles of painting are similar.

Xun Zhen said: "It's OK to make improvements in Kangguo."

The grain seeds were cultivated and taken to the Qi State for cultivation.

With the experience in the Northern Desert, Kangguo can perfectly control the excellent traits of exported grains and prevent them from being passed on to the next generation, and the same is true for rice. Borrowing Qiguo's land to grow rice to feed its own people is not a loss. Shen Tang thought about it and nodded.

"Oh, that's all it can do."

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Tang's mind in a flash.

Well, to be precise, it’s countless blames.

  The origin of the grain can be "framed" on Qishan. As long as Cui Zhi deceives them, the royal court of Qi will not intervene. To put it bluntly, [Wuyou] is just a county magistrate in a barren land, with no more than 500 households under his jurisdiction, and a large area of ​​land within his jurisdiction belongs to the Cui family. How can the royal court have the energy to pay attention to this?

If the governance is good, it will benefit the Cui family and Cui Zhi.

Shen Tang and Xun Zhen chatted for a while longer.

Debt-free, the king and his subjects were in a good mood. Xun Zhen even took out the good wine he had hidden for two years and ordered people to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes to entertain the master. Without the master this time, how could there be a sponsor for Jimo Qiu? Xun Zhen said: "It's a pity that Jimo Qiu is the only one."

Shen Tang rolled his eyes and asked, "How many more do you want?"

Xun Zhen smiled happily: "The more the better."

Shen Tang shook his head: "That's not good. One Jimo Qiu is enough. If there are more people with so much money, we can only kill them one by one. The Gongxi clan has accumulated wealth from their ancestors. What about the others? There are too many of them, they are insects!"

"My Lord, what you said is very true."

But I was shocked in my heart and worried for Jimo Qiu.

Even though the master is usually eloquent and every minister can receive different styles of sweet love words, this is only between the king and his ministers. When it comes to the boundaries between men and women, she not only has no sense of this, but is also resolute and rational to a terrifying degree. I don't know whether to say she is affectionate or heartless.

The king and his ministers sat opposite each other and drank.

When they had almost finished drinking, someone outside the tent asked to see them.

"Da Yi and Wen Shi came to you to collect military pay?"

Xun Zhen had money in his hands, so he was not in a hurry. He changed his previous anxious state and invited the two to come in with a smile. He was about to say that the military pay had been prepared one after another to reassure the two generals, but unexpectedly, these two were not looking for him, but for the lord.

Shen Tang tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then put the cup down.

Surprised, "Looking for me?"

Zhao Feng and Xu Quan hesitated and looked embarrassed.

Xun Zhen was very perceptive and knew at a glance that he was present. The two of them were not in a position to speak, so they stood up tactfully and made room for him.

After Xun Zhen walked away, Shen Tang said, "We can talk now."

These two expressions are not right.

Xu Quan made up his mind, his eyes reddened, and he handed over the letter with both hands.

Shen Tang read ten lines at a glance, his pupils trembling. He looked up at Xu Quan in disbelief and confirmed again and again: "Wen Zhu's letter?"

Xu Quan was about to cry: "That's right."

He guessed that his cousin must have committed a heinous crime and had to take this risky move to protect himself, but this approach was too wild.

With his cousin's many years of contribution to Lord Shen, he could make up for the crime of treason. At worst, he could give up all his military merits and still keep the Xu family safe.

Shen Tang also thought of this.

She scratched her head: "I haven't heard that Xu's company has any problems recently."

Although she had been fighting on the front lines for more than a year, she never relaxed her control over the rear areas and knew the movements of court officials very well.

After Xu Jie resigned as the governor of Heyin County, he entered Fengluo as a Beijing official, just to avoid suspicion and to facilitate the promotion of Xu Quan. He only sought an idle position in the Ministry of Rites even though he had an A grade in the Ministry of Personnel assessment. Xu's business was handed over to others to run, but he was still the one behind the scenes, and he also helped Shen Tang a lot over the years.

Everything about the Xu family is under Shen Tang's eyes.

Xu Jie was a cautious person, and fearing that he would repeat the same mistake, he strictly controlled the Xu clan members: "Unless you have the ability to conceal your true intentions and even the Censorate can't catch you, don't do anything that crosses the line. Once discovered, you will be expelled from the clan!"

Even Gu Chi only had some minor criminal records. If he brought them all up to impeach Xu Jie, at most he would say that he was not a strict steward and fined him some salary as a punishment. Would Xu Wenzhu, who was so careful about her reputation, make a big mistake? Would she not know if she made a big mistake? Shen Tang's heart sank, and he began to worry about Qin Li's situation in Fengluo: "I'll go ask."

Xu Quan kowtowed solemnly and said, "I wish..."

"Don't rush this matter, ask clearly first... There may be some misunderstanding here. Even if there is no misunderstanding, it's not too late to stop it." Shen Tang put the letter away and was not in the mood to eat melons. Xu Quan also knew that she was in a bad mood, so he asked to be confined. He would never go out until the truth was revealed.

Because the "Dingding" court meeting consumes too much energy, and Shen Tang is too far away from the capital when he is on a personal expedition, Kangguo has not used "Dingding" to attend court remotely for more than a year. All court documents are delivered by post stations within the country, which is much slower in efficiency, but more economical.

When Wen Xinhuazhi heard the unusual movement, Qin Li was unable to react immediately. Realizing that it was a summons from the Lord, he responded immediately.

His avatar appeared in a void space.

The master is already waiting there.

She asked, "Has Xu made any unusual moves recently?"

Qin Li was startled and shook his head: "No."

Everything has been calm and peaceful. If there was any unusual movement, it was only when Xu Wenzhu's troublesome cousin clamored to marry into Gong Xichou's family.

Alas, what misfortune for this family.

When a family is in misfortune, when a family is in misfortune, they point fingers at everyone.

PS: It’s the college entrance examination again this year. I wish all the candidates success in the exam!
