The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1992 Meet Zheng An

In a place as big as Suzhou, it is impossible for the Xuan Family Chamber of Commerce not to set foot here. Therefore, Xuan Shijing and his group lived in the house arranged by the Xuan Family Chamber of Commerce, which was convenient and safe.

At least the place arranged by the Chamber of Commerce will not have any other problems. As for the guards, the Baiqisi people have come back from Chang'an City one after another, and the Chamber of Commerce has also secretly sent many people here, because Regarding the matter of Yizhou City, the Xuan family is very concerned about the safety of their Patriarch.

After Zheng An heard that Xuan Shijing had settled down in Suzhou, there was nothing to do in the government that night, so he took the greeting card to the place where Xuan Shijing lived to pay a visit to Xuan Shijing.

Xuan Shijing is the noble person he stepped into the court, he can have today, Xuan Shijing has played a very important role in this.

If it wasn't for Xuan Shijing, he would have been suppressed by the Zheng family long ago. If it wasn't for Xuan Shijing, he would not have been able to become the prince at that time. In the eyes of His Majesty now, naturally he would not be promoted so quickly.

From an ordinary person who was born in the imperial examination to a governor of a state, this is a big improvement. From the time Zheng An was an official, this is simply a smooth rise.

"Grandpa, Zheng An is here and handed over the post." Gao Jun walked into Xuan Shijing's temporary study, and handed the post sent by Zheng An to Xuan Shijing.

"What about others? Are you here?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Here he is, he is at the door." Gao Jun said, "Grandpa, are you going to see him now?"

"Everyone is here, can I see you? Besides, the Zheng family's affairs have nothing to do with him, so there's no need to involve him. Besides, didn't Zheng An break ties with the Zheng family long ago?" Xuan Shi Jing smiled and said: "Let him come to see me in the study. He just happened to be here. I need to ask him something."

"Yes." Gao Jun replied.

Gao Jun left the study, and soon Zheng An, dressed in official uniform, came back to the study.

"Grandpa, Mr. Zheng An is here." Gao Jun stood at the door and said with cupped hands.

"Come in, Gao Jun, you will watch outside yourself, without my order, you won't see anyone." Xuan Shijing said.

"Yes, Lord." Gao Jun answered with cupped hands.

After Zheng An walked into the study, Gao Jun closed the door of the study outside.

"I pay my respects to Duke Xuan." After entering the study, Zheng An cupped his hands in salute.

"No need to be too polite, come and sit." Xuan Shijing looked up at Zheng An and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, since we are here today, let's not talk about official business for now, and catch up on the old days."

"Yes." Zheng An replied.

"How is it? How are you doing in Suzhou?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Your Majesty is worried about you. I am in Suzhou. Everything is fine. I am here. I dare not forget the instructions of my lord and His Majesty." Zheng An said.

"I know that." Xuan Shijing smiled and said, "I came from Yizhou City and went all the way down to Suzhou. First, I came to see how your side is doing. Second, I also wanted to come and see here. Bank."

Zheng An more or less guessed why Xuan Shijing came here.As for the bank in Suzhou, he dared to pat his chest to assure that there was absolutely no major problem.

That's right, there is no major problem, as for other minor problems, Zheng An dare not say.

Because after all, the bank is a bank, and the government is a government. Zheng An can guarantee that officials from the government will not interfere with the bank, but he cannot guarantee that there will be no problems inside the bank.

Therefore, facing the matter of Xuan Shijing coming down to investigate the bank, he was still a little confident, at least not because of the bank, it would not involve the official circles in Suzhou.

The officials in the Suzhou officialdom used to complain about Zheng An because of the Suzhou bank. The fat meat in front of them couldn't be stretched out or eaten. If they couldn't get it, they would be at a loss.

Now, they began to feel grateful to Zheng An one by one in their hearts.

Fortunately, at the beginning, the governor was watching closely. Otherwise, the official circles in Suzhou, like Luoyang and Dengzhou, would probably be taken over by Xuan Shijing like Luoyang and Dengzhou now, leaving few officials behind.

The prosperity of Suzhou is not inferior to that of Luoyang City, even more so than Luoyang City.

Xuan Shijing also knew.

People say, heaven above, Suzhou and Hangzhou below, just for this sentence, places such as Suzhou and Hangzhou cannot be depressed.

On the contrary, Luoyang, without the name of the Eastern Capital in this life, can it be as prosperous as the original Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty?
This is not known.

"My lord, I also guessed a thing or two about the reason for your visit. I know how important the affairs of the bank are to the imperial court. Therefore, when I was in Suzhou, I never dared to slack off on the affairs of the bank. The imperial court ordered local officials to assist in handling the affairs of the bank, and the bank here, speaking of it, is also handled by the lower officials." Zheng An said.

At the time when the bank was established, Zheng Anke was not the governor of Suzhou, nor was he just an ordinary official in Suzhou.

The banks in Suzhou were built from nothing by his own eyes. Therefore, Zheng An is not inferior to others in terms of familiarity with banks. Therefore, even if he is sitting on the seat of governor Well, he is clear about the matter of the bank, but there are some things that he doesn't want to do too much.

But if Xuan Shijing cared about those things, he would definitely have to deal with them. Comparing the two aspects, he would still offend those people at the bottom. After all, he had indulged them for so long, and it was his utmost benevolence.

I can only blame them for being too greedy and not knowing how to restrain themselves.

This is how Zheng An treats the next bank, loosen it, tighten it, grasp it, let it go.

He said that he didn't want to talk about business affairs, but apart from business affairs, there was nothing else to talk about, so as he talked, the topic still turned to business affairs.

"I'm still at ease when you do things." Xuan Shijing said: "Did the Zheng family contact you during these days?"

Zheng An shook his head: "Since I rejected the letter sent by the Patriarch of the Zheng family last time, there has been no news. As for the news from Chang'an City, let me tell you the truth, the lower officials have also heard about it."

"Oh? Over there in Chang'an, what did you hear?" Xuan Shijing made a gesture of invitation, and then picked up the teacup.

This is not the meaning of seeing off guests, but to let Zheng An drink his saliva first and then chat slowly.

"Chang'an City is in a storm. Although Zheng's family suffered heavy losses, they still managed to gain a firm foothold in the storm and stayed in the circle of Chang'an City." Zheng An said: "In addition to these , the relationship between the Wang family and Nanbian'er is getting closer."
