Jinyi champion

Chapter 818
Jiang Shantong, the prefect of the government office, came forward to find people, and recruited craftsmen and Lifu from the people in full swing, preparing to open the mine.

It happened so suddenly that the local officials and gentry could not have expected it.

Because of the high prices offered by the government office, countless local middle-aged men came to sign up, and the several recruitment sites outside the city were full of people who came to apply every day, and just signing up would be crowded for half a day.

People from the three major families hurriedly called together the local gentry to discuss countermeasures.

Mrs. Qiao said: "If this momentum continues, the government government will not need to borrow our name, and the government will directly lead the mining. If it is said that Jin Yiwei's mining is to compete with the people, how can the magistrate's government open the mine? Aren't you afraid of impeachment by the official censor?"

In this era that is mostly represented by men, it seems a bit nondescript for a woman to speak out.

But Mrs. Qiao's words carry weight.

She has a good plan, plus... she really has unclear relationships with many men present, which means that these men have a "handle" in this woman's hands, and if they spread it to the outside world, no one will be able to please them.

The representative of the Liu family, Liu Cheng, who attended the meeting as the next-generation patriarch, asked Yue Ting'an for instructions: "Master Yue, what do you think we should do now? Should we fight against the magistrate's office, or...follow their wishes?"

This gathering was called by Yue Ting'an, and Yue Ting'an had previously taken the lead in the meeting with Jiang Shantong, so now everyone is willing to listen to the Yue family's suggestion.

Mrs. Qiao had expected that this guy would be greedy for money, so she took out another letter of silver and handed it over.

The person who received her was Naimu Dazhi.

"Oh, isn't this Mrs. Joe? What brings you here?"

There are people around who don't like to listen.

Someone reminded me: "I heard that the new magistrate is under 20 years old, but he is a thorn in the side. When he was in the capital, he often confronted the emperor's old man, but he was sent to Yongping to be the magistrate. He followed the previous Zhang The magistrate was a Jinshi in the same year, and he was the number one scholar, so he has no shame in succeeding Zhang Zhifu."

"That means you don't trust me... I've done a lot for you, so you're so unpopular?" Mou Dazhi turned his face away again.

When Mou Dazhi heard it, the words meant that there was oil and water, and he immediately became amiable, "Just give it to me, and I will pass it on for you."

"Also, I heard that there is an aide named Mi next to the new magistrate. He is a sissy, a standard boy, but he has a bad stomach, so he needs to be careful."

Mou Dazhi has good eyesight, and knows that Lou Suzhen doesn't like him making troubles and disrupting people's conversations... Maybe this Mrs. Qiao came here not only to give gifts, but even to make friends by recommending herself as a pillow?

Although Zhang Cong came to Yongping Mansion to punish this group of officials and gentry, and this group of officials and gentry were tortured severely, it may be Stockholm Syndrome. After a group of people were beaten by Zhang Cong, they respected Zhang Cong very much. But he looked down on Zhu Hao, the new magistrate who was nominally here to help them.

"There are people from me in the yamen... Recently, the yamen is counting silver, and the sum of gold, silver and money making is several thousand taels."

Mrs. Qiao took out a letter of silver from her bosom and handed it to Mou Dazhi: "Lord Mou, the little girl is here to pay homage to the magistrate."

When Mrs. Qiao was waiting in the west wing of the mansion, she was also thinking about how to deal with this supposedly handsome scholar. It was unintentional physical contact...

"Isn't the new magistrate very young? Where did you get tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

Mrs. Qiao gave Yue Ting'an a hard look: "I heard Master Yue meant that he wanted the new magistrate to bow down under my concubine's pomegranate skirt?"

……

Although everyone knows that Zhu Hao, the new magistrate, is going to open the mine, but Zhu Hao is under the guise of someone else's name, or it is just someone recruiting people from the people to say that he will open the mine, and he did not say that it is the magistrate's mine, and the mine has not been opened yet. , How can the speech officer participate in the law of impeachment?

You, Mou Dazhi, are sticking around here, how can you say that?
After Mou Dazhi withdrew, Lou Suzhen met Mrs. Qiao alone.

……

"Seriously, what are you doing talking about all this now?"

Of course, she is not qualified to meet directly.

Lou Suzhen smiled lightly, and replied: "Ma'am, you are welcome. I am working for the magistrate. If you have something to say, speak up."

To participate in impeachment, we have to wait for the specific implementation of mining matters.

"My concubine pays respects to Mr. Mi."

……

Mrs. Qiao said: "Then...what should I say when I see him?"

Everyone quieted down, waiting for Yue Ting'an to give a specific solution.

The smiles were all ambiguous, completely treating Mrs. Qiao as a laughing stock.

"Where did the Zaifu come from in this dynasty? I heard that the Minister of the Household Department is his father-in-law, and it is estimated that he was transferred directly from the Treasury of the Household Department!"

Mou Dazhi put the money directly into his bosom, but he didn't intend to help, and said coldly: "Is the prefect you can see if you want?"

Mrs. Qiao said: "I don't know why the magistrate wants to open the mine on his own? If the Kandao officials know, just read a book, I'm afraid the magistrate's term of office... will come to an end."

Mou Dazhi followed behind Lou Suzhen.

When Mou Dazhi saw Mrs. Qiao, his eyes turned cunningly. Apparently he had also heard about this woman's many affairs and wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.

"Hahaha……"

It wasn't until the discussion was almost over that Liu Cheng said: "Let's listen to Master Yue's opinion! What's the point of you guys arguing here?"

People from the three major families were all listening, and did not immediately give a solution.

Yue Tingan looked around, then got up and walked in front of Mrs. Qiao, bowed his head and said, "Why don't Master Qiao go to the government office to see what the other party is."

A group of people chattered, and the discussion was intense.

But she was not frightened, and still came out to meet each other.

"Intentional? That's a good thing."

"Fart! I heard there are tens of thousands of taels."

……

Mou Dazhi smiled and said: "Master Zhifu, you won't be able to see it, but I can pass it on to you. If you're lucky, Mr. Mi... oh, it's the number one guest of honor next to our mansion, and he will come out to see you today. He has been leading people to organize belongings in the backyard all the time, you are really lucky."

Lou Suzhen nodded, then took a look at Mou Dazhi, and asked, "Officer Mou Tui, have you done everything your lord has told you?"

Mrs. Qiao stepped forward, beckoning Ting to salute with a businesslike look.

It is naturally not allowed for officials to open mines, or to open mines in the name of private individuals.

"Where did you hear that?"

"It's better to hand it over to the magistrate." Mrs. Qiao insisted.

In name, Mou Dazhi is an official, while Lou Suzhen doesn't even have an official rank, but is just an aide who advises the magistrate.

But Mrs. Qiao didn't care. Anyway, she came here after losing her husband for many years. It's better to be laughed at than to lose the family business.

Yue Ting'an raised his hand to interrupt the laughter of the crowd, and said sternly: "It may not be easy for Master Qiao to meet the new magistrate, but it should not be difficult if he wants to meet the Xibin who is next to the new magistrate... Since it is a noodle Scholar, it is necessary for Qiao to be the head of the family."

Mrs. Qiao said: "The little girl is here to greet the local squire. After the magistrate arrived in office, he has not been able to meet the local squire. We all want to visit earlier and do our best by the way."

With an ambiguous smile on Yue Ting'an's face, he said: "Who will let Qiao be the master in training men? Just ask all the gentlemen present, who doesn't want to kiss Fangze?"

Mrs. Qiao lowered her head, not daring to look at Lou Suzhen, like a law-abiding widow.

Everyone who was still discussing the matter fiercely just now laughed.

Women's intuition is sometimes very accurate, and it is very likely that Mrs. Qiao will notice the clues.

Yue Tingan said: "Until now, I haven't figured out what the new prefect is."

This is actually a huge challenge for Lou Suzhen. She knows very well that it might be easier for her to hide those thick-skinned men, but in front of women...

Mrs. Qiao frowned: "Why is it a concubine?"

"Mr. Mi, my little girl has heard of your name from outside. You are full of strategy and decisive in your actions. It is really extraordinary to meet you today." Mrs. Qiao complimented.

But in fact, because Lou Suzhen is a staff member of the new magistrate, with great power at hand, he can even sit on the same level as his fellow prefect Jiang Shantong in terms of status, or even above Jiang Shantong. These officials below are doing their best to curry favor with Lou Suzhen Things—who made Lou Suzhen still a "big rich man" with huge sums of money?

For Lou Suzhen, it doesn't matter whether she is a man or a woman, as long as she is doing things for Zhu Hao, she is not afraid to come out to meet people.

"Mr. Mi, she is the one who came to see me."

Before Lou Suzhen came out, she knew that the person who came to visit was a woman, and she was a widow with a lot of gossip, a mature woman who still had a charm.

Mrs. Qiao thus became a representative of the local officials and gentry, and went to the government office to meet Zhu Hao, the new magistrate.

After a lot of trouble, Mrs. Qiao finally met Lou Suzhen.

But Zhu Hao was appointed by Yang Tinghe to be the magistrate of Yongping Mansion... But all the officials with good eyesight, even if they know about this, will turn a blind eye to it, and those who want to curry favor with the new emperor The speech officer must have actual evidence before he dares to participate in impeachment.

"Just follow Master Qiao's own wishes. Now we need to find out what the magistrate means, and moreover, we need to ease the relationship. We can't blame Jin Yiwei, and the magistrate's side, it's best not to have any When something radical happens, peace makes money."

"Since he dared to come to mine, he must have a rich family. Maybe it was given to him by his backer? I heard that his backer is Lord Yang, the prime minister of this dynasty."

"Oh, not yet, I'm going to handle it now!"

Lou Suzhen asked curiously: "When did my lord open the mine? It is obvious that some people want to open the mine now, and the lord is at most providing some convenience!"

……

But when she saw Lou Suzhen coming out, her expression was obviously a little stagnant, and it seemed that none of the previously prepared methods would come in handy.

As long as Zhu Hao didn't show up in person, where did the evidence come from?

Mrs. Qiao said: "Then why does the magistrate want to make it easier for people to travel? The mining operation costs a lot of money and takes a lot of time. I'm afraid there will be no return for the effort."

Lou Suzhen smiled and said: "How much will the return be? No need for others to worry. Madam, go back and tell those people that if they want to buy a stake, they can follow up. If they don't want to buy a share, then continue to watch... If you want to join after the mine is opened ...Then forgive the magistrate for not giving me face. Come and see off the guests!"
