Jinyi champion

Chapter 816 dwarfs
Jiang Shantong and Mou Dazhi walked outside the magistrate's yamen.

At first, Jiang Shantong had a kind smile like Maitreya Buddha on his face, but when he came to the door, he immediately changed his attitude and started cursing.

"...Do you really treat me like a beggar? Just send us away with some money?"

Jiang Shantong's mood changed a lot.

Mou Dazhi asked in surprise: "Master Tongzhi, you don't seem to say that in there." Mou Dazhi thought about it, and Jiang Shantong learned from Mr. Mi that the new magistrate would give out 1 taels of silver once. , asked them to come forward to help recruit people, this Tongzhi Jiang lost his temper in an instant, and his fiery eyes seemed to be full of Brother Kong Fang.

It was only after he came out that Jiang Tongzhi seemed to be a different person. It seemed that he had to say something tough to show that he was not a money lover.

Jiang Shantong glared at Mou Dazhi, and said, "Do you really think I value that bit of money? 1 taels is a lot of money, let's talk about it when he really takes it out! These officials like to play empty-handed white wolves the most." The trick is to say that it is 1 taels, don’t even get out 1000 taels in the end, and the remaining 9000 taels have to be filled by others... eh?”

Just as he was talking, he saw more than a dozen carriages coming towards him on the street in front of Fuyamen.

When the carriage stopped in front of the Fuyamen, the escorts on the carriage and the servants brought by the new magistrate who greeted them from the door began to unload the boxes from the carriage.

Mou Dazhi stepped forward and asked, "Everyone, these are all the property of the magistrate? Do you want to ask the Yamen to help?"

"It's not enough to look for it. I have done something, as long as I don't grab food from my mouth." Zhu Hao got up, walked in front of Lou Suzhen, and handed the written letter to her, "Have someone send it to the capital... ...This is a letter to Yang Yongxiu, and I will write to His Majesty in the evening to let His Majesty know about our progress here."

……

When he was almost lifted, Mou Dazhi turned his head and asked in a low voice: "Jiang Tongzhi, do you think the Fufu will use tricks? Just like what you said before, in fact, there are all empty boxes in front of you, or they are simply filled with stones. , deliberately put on a show for outsiders to see?"

The magistrate Yamen of Yongping Prefecture took the lead in recruiting miners and craftsmen locally.

Before Jiang Shantong could speak, Mou Dazhi spoke for him.

Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "I came to the local government to be an official. It's worth spending some money to settle things and let everyone relax their vigilance."

If it is said that Jiang Shantong was quite critical of Zhu Hao's claims before, but now he has completely surrendered in his heart, the new magistrate really didn't pay a few hundred taels of silver for a show, he really wanted to open a mine, and set up a horse and cannon to fight against Jin Yiwei .

When Lou Suzhen finished handing over the money and returned to the inner hall, she saw Zhu Hao writing a letter.

Although in terms of status, the status of Sun Lan's wife will not change, but it will always make Zhu Hao feel a little sorry for that little wife who has been helping him with the affairs of the inner courtyard.

If you really want to live with a partner, Tang Yin, an old man who can't even take care of himself, depends on others for his official career, what can he do?
Ordinary women may be very envious of Tang Yin, but what kind of woman is Lou Suzhen?Would you like Tang Yin's background and ability?
Looking at the back of Lou Suzhen leaving, Zhu Hao couldn't help feeling in his heart: "No wonder you have never been able to win the hearts of beauties, old Tang. I really don't know that the ability of your confidante is far higher than that of you, a poor old man who claims to be brilliant." On... the emotional difference between you and her is not a little bit."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Mi, do you think it's that easy for them to take advantage of me?"

Lou Suzhen nodded, expressing her understanding.

Lou Suzhen said: "Okay, inform the accountant to transfer 2000 taels of silver to Jiang Tongzhi to recruit manpower, make the scene bigger, it's best to let everyone know, let the local officials know, don't use them, my lord We can do better if we continue to open mines. To say that they have an excuse is just a polite way of saying, even if they are ignorant, can’t the magistrate’s yamen raise the banner of opening mines?”

Lou Suzhen's voice came from inside: "Don't stop Jiang Tongzhi and Mu Tuiguan. They follow the orders of the adults. It is still necessary to know our real financial resources."

Zhu Hao smiled back, as if he was laughing at Lou Suzhen, you treat Sun Lan as your best friend, but at the same time arrange a concubine for your best friend's husband, it's not serious.But Zhu Hao knew that it was unrealistic to understand Lou Suzhen in the same way as ordinary people.

Yang Tinghe seemed indifferent to this.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "My wife came to help me on behalf of my wife. You should keep an eye on my every move. Why do you still take the initiative... Hehe, please don't mind my wife, it's just a joke. You also know how I get along with my wife. I am responsible for her, even if I want to take a concubine in the future, it will not be now."

Mou Dazhi swallowed his saliva, and said with difficulty: "The local manpower is not much, and many servants are sent to the north to repair and strengthen the Great Wall. I'm afraid..."

If you work hard, you can earn [-] Wen in a month. According to the market price, it can be exchanged for more than one tael of silver. After all, the official price of silver is said to be exchanged for [-] Wen, but it is not bad if you can exchange it for [-] or [-] Wen. , and a salary of more than one tael of silver per month for a coolie is definitely a high income in these years, not to mention that skilled craftsmen will only get higher income.

The silver is not used to open mines, but to recruit people from the local area.

The two didn't intend to leave, and watched a group of people carry the boxes with their own eyes.

Zhu Hao asked: "Madam wants to match up again...?"

"Your Excellency has worked hard these days."

Fighting against the emperor now, no result is sometimes a good result. As long as the emperor feels the pressure of mining, he should stop thinking about looking for mines everywhere in the future. Yang Tinghe's purpose is not to make the emperor unable to step down.

Mou Dazhi and Jiang Shantong stepped aside quickly.

Zhu Hao and Sun Lan haven't formally consummated the house yet, so if Ouyang Fei was given in advance and moved into the house early, it would be more or less unfair to Sun Lan.

The leader of the nursing home said: "These are precious things, no one else needs to intervene... Please move, the two upper officials, lest the rough people work against you."

"Go, go in and see!"

"Young master is all about thinking about your wife, I admire you!" Lou Suzhen smiled and expressed emotion.

"No one will have trouble with Yinzi."

At this time, all the boxes in the backyard had been opened, and they were filled with white silver and yellow-orange money, almost filling the entire yard.

……

Seeing that all the boxes had been carried in, Jiang Shantong was really worried, so he took Mou Dazhi back to the government office.

Lou Suzhen came over and said: "My lord has sent someone to send over the expenses required for the mine. At present, the accounts have been counted, at least 3000 taels. It may be insufficient to open a large mine, but it should be no problem to open a few small mines. The mining master has been invited from the Central Plains and is waiting to start work."

When I got to the backyard, I was stopped.

Maybe the relationship between Lou Suzhen and Tang Yin can't make progress for a long time. Apart from the difference in their identities, it's also possible that Lou Suzhen simply doesn't like Tang Yin, a weak old man... From the perspective of poetry and painting, Tang Yin can indeed Let women all over the world admire, but that is only limited to appreciation.

After Yang Shen read it, he hurriedly took Zhu Hao's letter to see Yang Tinghe.

Lou Suzhen, as the concubine of King Ning, has a lofty status. Her logic in doing things is not comparable to that of ordinary girls. Such a woman is usually polite and seems to act in accordance with the rules, but if it is really about her ability, she is definitely a heroine.

Lou Suzhen smiled, looked at Zhu Hao with admiring eyes, and said, "Guanbao let them vomit as much as they eat, and they still have to look for it."

"...Father, I feel that Jing Dao's move is actually to send Jin Yiwei's army to let His Majesty know that his people are not the only ones who can open mines. Once the mine is opened, it will become an established fact that Jinyiwei will compete with the people for profit!"

Lou Suzhen said: "Young Master, everything will be done according to your instructions. In front of the officials of the government office, I will make it look like, and the rest will depend on whether they cooperate."

In front of me is the wife of the great traitor, Ruoning Wang Shicheng, Lou Suzhen is a woman who can be a queen, and she will be the mother of the world.

If he had a choice, Zhu Hao would rather train Lou Suzhen to become an official than find Tang Yin, an old man who has no ambitions and only thinks about romance.

Lou Suzhen's face was full of concern, she suddenly thought of something, and reminded: "Miss Ouyang has already made preparations for the placement of the workshop, and she has been free for the past two days, should she come to the government office to serve..."

……

Also, Zhu Hao is also pondering.

Lou Suzhen asked tentatively: "So the young master would rather let them fill his own pockets? From my point of view, I'm afraid they...wouldn't make people feel at ease."

Jiang Shantong looked around and asked, "Is there anyone else here besides us?"

When Lou Suzhen saw Zhu Hao address her as "Madam", she knew that Zhu Hao had resumed the original mode of private discussions among friends, and immediately said: "Young master agreed to Miss Na Ouyang to come in, but now she is waiting eagerly."

The two were let in.

Although Yang Shen didn't quite support Zhu Hao's behavior, he tried his best to speak for Zhu Hao in front of his father.

Lou Suzhen interrupted him and said, "You don't need to do labor, but hire. Coolies are paid [-] Wen a day, and craftsmen are paid [-] Wen. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Mou Dazhi said: "Then... just to show us?"

……

This is also an important reason why Lou Suzhen became his aide, and soon suppressed Jiang Shantong, Mou Dazhi and other officials.

Lou Suzhen was very generous, and once allocated 2000 taels of silver to Jiang Shantong and Mou Dazhi on behalf of Zhu Hao.

"No embarrassment."

What does it have to do with him, Yang Tinghe, to open mines or not?
It's just that he felt that Zhu Hao was messing around a bit, or that he was looking far away, but he didn't expect Zhu Hao to seal up the mine that Jin Yiwei worked so hard to open up.

The news quickly spread to the capital along with Zhu Hao's letter to Yang Shen, and Yang Shen knew about it.

Yang Tinghe said: "Father found out, you can go back."

"Father, is that Rang Jingdao... continue to mine?" Yang Shen was puzzled.

Why is the father acting so cold?
But what is father worrying about recently, so he can't take care of these for a while?
If there is really a big deal, why not discuss it with his eldest son?Do you think he is not capable?Or don't trust him enough?
Now Yang Shen is very sensitive.

Yang Tinghe waved his hand and said, "Being a father only depends on the result. As for what Jingdao should do, let him go. Don't interfere too much with him. You need to give him enough trust to arrange people over there."
