lied to Kangxi

Chapter 411 Why are you?

The official ship sailed to Dezhou and landed smoothly.

All the officials of Shandong Province, under the leadership of Governor Jiang Chenxi, came to the pier, waiting to welcome Yu Zhu and Bo Qi.

The most important thing about welcoming and sending off in the officialdom is reciprocal reception.

As we all know, in the imperial court, the senior officials in charge of the Dingdai and the senior officials in charge of finances are god-level existences that cannot be provoked.

At the level of the feudal official, since the future of the governor is in the hands of the emperor, financial allocation and reimbursement are particularly prominent.

Yuzhu has a lot of part-time jobs, but the one who really awes the governor of Shandong is actually his own official - the left servant of the household department.

It is no exaggeration to say that with Yuzhu's identity and real power, he only needs to talk about it, and there will be big problems in Shandong Province's financial appropriation and reimbursement matters.

Qian Jin, who runs the department in this era, mainly runs the household department.

In the late Qing Dynasty, Weng Zhongtang, the emperor's teacher, was the minister of military aircraft and the secretary of the household department.This man tried every means to block Beiyang's military expenditure, so that Li Hefei, who had mastered the Huai Army and Beiyang Navy, could only stare blankly, but had no choice.

With Yuzhu's current power and status, he is not as awesome as Master Weng for the time being.

However, it is easy to make Yuzhu feel bad, deliberately trying to embarrass Shandong Province.

Coincidentally, Governor Jiang is also from Changshu.

Speaking of which, Yuzhu and Jiang Chenxi can be regarded as old.

Because Jiang Chenxi's younger brother, Jiang Tingxi, has been serving as a commentator of daily life, and he and Yuzhu have a little bit of a colleague's face.

However, Jiang Tingxi's official career is completely different from Yuzhu's. He is only a minor official of Zhan Shifu so far.

However, Yu Zhu, who has good eyes and ears, has mastered a little-known secret, and Jiang Tingxi has long been involved in the sect of the fourth child.

Historically, among the Han officials of the Yongzheng Dynasty, Jiang Tingxi's favor was second only to Zhang Tingyu.

After Yuzhu landed first, Jiang Chenxi led the Shandong officials to salute.

For fear of neglecting Yuzhu, Jiang Chenxi specially set up a feast, hoping to treat Yuzhu well.

What hasn't Yuzhu eaten?

During the banquet, the dishes were too rich, with everything from flying in the sky, crawling underground, and swimming in the sea.

However, Yu Zhu was only more interested in Dezhou's specialty five-spice boneless grilled chicken, Wucheng pepper and big-leaf coriander, so he dropped his chopsticks a few more times.

After the banquet was over, Yuzhu had just returned to the official ship when he heard a report from his servants.

"My lord, the prefect of Dezhou specially ordered people to send nearly a hundred five-spice boneless grilled chickens, as well as several baskets of coriander and peppers, as well as piles of large watermelons."

As soon as Yuzhu heard it, he understood.

When he is eating, someone must be watching his every move.

It must be admitted that these local officials really have a unique skill in reception.

No, just after Yuzhu came back, his favorite food was delivered to the boat.

Old Shisan took a bite of the watermelon, spit out the seeds, and said with a smile: "Wucheng watermelon is well-deserved of its reputation, juicy, sandy, and tastes like rock sugar."

Yuzhu knew in his heart that what Old Shisan said about watermelon was actually accusing Bo Qi in a disguised form.

After the banquet was over, Jiang Chenxi really couldn't keep Yu Zhu, so he tried every means to keep Bo Qi.

Bo Qi, who had no power in the first place, was out of Beijing for business for the first time, and he couldn't escape the corruption of sugar-coated bullets.

After all, no matter how bad Bo Qi is, he is also Concubine De's younger brother.

This time, he took advantage of the fact that Yu Zhu was the powerful official of the household department, Bo Qi, who was really suffocated, almost never refused the local filial piety, and accepted it with a hearty smile.

Not only is it difficult for Yuzhu to intervene in the housework of the fourth child, but even the thirteenth child cannot openly criticize it.

After eating the watermelon, Old Shisan wiped his hands and said with a smile: "You are much smarter than your ama. Your ama dares to accept any money, but you never compete with the people for profit, and you are very important Nuo, in the circle of merchants in the capital, word of mouth has always been very good."

Yuzhu smiled, but didn't answer.

Chinese language art is extensive and profound.

Obedience but not listening is like a blind man riding a blind horse.

Old Shisan was talking about the business on the surface, but in fact, he was praising him, he didn't get too close to Jiang Chenxi, he had a sense of propriety.

Facing the temptation of the old thirteen again, Yuzhu's heart is like a mirror, the fourth wants to pull him into the fourth master's party, and the old thirteen becomes the executor.

Yu Zhu will join the Fourth Master Party sooner or later, but definitely not now.

The more contact with the fourth child, the more Yuzhu felt that this person's thoughts were unfathomable.

With Yuzhu holding the key position of military power, if he hadn't secretly joined the Fourth Lord's Party, the fourth child would definitely try every means to deal with him.

Instead of fighting to the death with the fourth child in secret, it is better to pretend to be the fourth master's party first.

The benefits of being an undercover agent in the Siye Party are too numerous to count.Anyone who understands knows it, so there is no need to repeat it.

However, without a suitable opportunity, Yuzhu joined the group easily. Whether the fourth child will trust him is definitely unknown.

For so many years, the fourth child has been secretly making arrangements.

From Yuzhu accepting Hongyun as his apprentice, to the old Shisan's determination to befriend him, and then to Longkodo's early entry into the Siye Party.

In fact, Longkodo and Yuzhu are already inextricably linked with the fourth child.

What is different from the history is that Longkodo and Yuzhu sang duozhuan and took turns controlling the infantry to lead the yamen.

In the past, the fourth child only needed to work hard on Longkodo.

Now, at a critical juncture, if Yu Zhu is sitting on the throne of the Nine Gate Admirals, how should he deal with it?
This is a major problem that the fourth child must face.

The characters of Tong's father and son are completely different.

Longkodo is a pure family son, who likes to listen to good things and wear high hats.The eldest brother praised him vigorously and called him uncle a few times, which greatly satisfied his vanity.

According to Yuzhu's judgment, Long Kedo chose the fourth child. The fundamental reason is that the risk of burning a cold stove is very high, and the benefits are also ridiculously high.

If Longkodo supports the eighth or the fourteenth, it will be impossible for him to stand in the first row and dominate the situation in the future.

If the fourth child wanted to recruit Yu Zhu into the gang, he had to solve a fundamental problem first: in the future, if there was a day, what benefits could he give Yu Zhu?
The old thirteen is not a fool, he has been secretly testing Yuzhu, and never made it clear.

Yu Zhu pretended to be confused on purpose, he could understand everything, even if he refused to express his opinion, the old thirteen had nothing to do with him.

However, when the fleet of imperial envoys arrived at Taierzhuang on the bank of the Grand Canal, Zhou Quan quietly brought a person back from the shore and came to Old Shisan.

The old thirteen saw the man's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Why are you?"

Yu Zhu at the side could see clearly that the old thirteen lost his composure, and he was extremely shocked as one can imagine.

This is what Yu Zhu wanted, and he wanted to use this to tell his fourth brother that he needed to pay a higher price if he wanted to recruit his cousin into the gang!

(PS: Guess who the dog head Zhou Quan brought?)
