The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1956 Leaving Dengzhou
In Dengzhou City, under the management of Xuan Shijing, the money from the Dengzhou Bank's auction of the Wang family's property was also counted one by one. Together with the ledger, it was packed in a box and sealed. People, escorted to Chang'an.

Watching the money-delivery army leave the bank, Xuan Shijing had a sincere smile on his face.

"Grandpa, the money has been transported away, what should we do with this bank?" the man from Baiqi Division asked.

The clerks and stewards of the bank must not be used anymore. On the bank side, not only the Wang family is short of the bank's treasury, but even the stewards of the bank have dirty hands. How can they be used?

"In the past, the managers of the bank were all appointed by the local government, and now the government is also dirty. What do you think should be done about the situation of government officials that your Baiqisi inspected?" Xuan Shijing asked the Baiqisi beside him. people.

"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the officials of the Dengzhou City government are not guilty of death, but this official can't go on like this. He must be deprived of his qualifications to be an official." The person from Baiqisi said: "But How to make a conclusion is still up to you, the Duke of Deguo."

Originally, according to the procedure, they should be arrested and sent to Chang'an for His Majesty to issue, but Qi Guogong has His Majesty's edict in his hand, and Qi Guogong can also decide the life and death of these officials.

Now is an extraordinary period, and there are some extraordinary ways to deal with it.

"Then lock him up first. After three days, send them to Chang'an for His Majesty to issue." Xuan Shijing said: "After Your Majesty issues, there should be new officials sent to Dengzhou. As for the bank, You have been investigating secretly in Dengzhou City for so long, but is there anyone who you think is trustworthy and can recommend it?"

The government can go without officials for a day, it’s nothing more than a little more miscellaneous things. After the new officials arrive, they will naturally be able to deal with the accumulated things, but the money bank can’t do it. The people now can’t leave Qianzhuang, it’s okay if the Qianzhuang doesn’t open for a day or two, but if it waits until the third day, it will easily cause panic among the people, which is absolutely unacceptable.

"This" the Baiqisi people are a little hesitant.

They really did investigate such a person, but he didn't know whether he should recommend him or not, should the people from Baiqi Division talk more about this matter.

"Don't worry, there are no outsiders here. If you have anything to say, you can just say it directly, and there is no need to avoid it." Xuan Shijing said: "You Baiqisi is loyal to His Majesty, I know that, but the recommender is not related to His Majesty's loyalty." , no conflict, as long as you don’t accept bribes to recommend, generally speaking, it’s fine.”

The words are not dead, just generally speaking.

If he was dead, it would be Xuan Shijing's turn to have a headache now. He originally wanted to pack up and leave Dengzhou, but for the sake of the bank, he had to continue to delay in Dengzhou.

"Yes, I have been visiting Dengzhou these days, and I really found a person who is qualified for the post of bank manager." The person from Baiqisi said.

"Are you sure?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Grandpa, the younger one is from Baiqisi. It depends on people's ability, and it is also trained by beating children." Baiqisi said.

Xuan Shijing never imagined that the ability to judge people can also be practiced since childhood. What kind of life does this Baiqisi person live on weekdays.

Xuan Shijing knew that those who were able to enter the Baiqi Division were from innocent backgrounds, and most of them were orphans without family members. They were brought into the palace to be raised since they were young. Unexpectedly, there was such a training method.
"Succeed, since you have said so, I believe you." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Gao Yuan, you come to cooperate with his arrangement."

It is a good thing that the Baiqisi knows the personnel affairs of the bank in detail. Usually, Baiqisi is the one who is closest to the emperor. If things go on like this, the emperor can also know more about the Qianzhuang from Baiqisi.

"Thank you, Lord, for your trust." The man from Baiqisi cupped his hands and said.

"It's not that I trust you, but Your Majesty trusts you. I believe in Your Majesty." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "Gao Jun, come back to the mansion with me."

"Yes." Gao Jun replied.

After returning to the mansion, Xuan Shijing sat in the room by himself.

"When is the Lord planning to leave Dengzhou City?" Gao Jun asked, "Your subordinates should prepare as soon as possible."

"It won't be long, it will take three to five days at most." Xuan Shijing said: "Three to five days is enough to arrange all the affairs of the bank neatly."

"My lord, where are we going next?"

"Suzhou." Xuan Shijing said.

"Suzhou. Isn't that where Zheng An is?" Gao Jun said.

"Exactly." Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Zheng An is now the governor of Suzhou, and the Zheng family has become like this again now. Most of them are public and a small part are private. I have to go to Suzhou to have a look."

"My lord is not afraid, what will be found in Suzhou?" Gao Jun said.

"There may be problems in the local area, but Suzhou City, under the rule of Zheng An, should not have any problems, unless I was wrong and believed in Zheng An." Xuan Shijing said: "At the beginning, Zheng An The patriarch of the family wrote to Zheng An, but Zheng An didn't even intercede for the Zheng family, but just told me what the Patriarch of the Zheng family wanted."

"Could it be that Zheng An is still resenting the Zheng family?" Gao Jun guessed, "You know that the Zheng family treated him too much back then. It's understandable to just sit back and do nothing, or take revenge on the Zheng family."

"In the end, you will know when you go to Suzhou. If nothing can be found out in Suzhou City, it will be a good thing. First, it shows that His Majesty did not use Zheng An wrongly, and I did not believe Zheng An wrongly. Second, let Chang'an City Those aristocratic nobles here can rest assured, it is easy to break if it is stretched for too long, and it is a good thing to loosen it properly."

Although Gao Jun didn't know what his father-in-law was up to, he felt that what he said made sense.
Since the father-in-law is in charge of doing this, then he, as a subordinate, just follow along honestly.

Gao Yuan and the Baiqisi man arranged the bank, Gao Jun also packed his things, and it was time for Xuan Shijing to leave Dengzhou.

"Grandpa, should we go on the ground or by boat?" Gao Yuan asked.

"Let's take a carriage, pass through various counties, and see the local situation." Xuan Shijing said: "Although all the way along the way, these places are investigated and dealt with by Baiqisi, but let's take a look for ourselves. It’s not bad, anyway, you don’t need to be in such a hurry to go to Suzhou.”

Xuan Shijing wanted to walk slowly. As for the reason, let the people in Chang'an City guess for themselves.
