At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 283
Although the Animal Husbandry Supervision Office is not too big, it is not small either. After all, it is a seventh-rank official. Naturally, the office should not be too shabby.

Gao Bufan personally chose a room for Wei Zheng to live in. The latter freshened up and changed into a new set of clothes that Gao Bufan had prepared for him. In an instant, his appearance was completely new, and the decadence on his body was also swept away. He looks energetic, and his rare handsome value has also increased by [-].

The culinary skills of the beautiful servant Ming Cui are naturally worth mentioning, a table of delicious food and wine is ready soon, Wei Zheng'an just in time to eat after washing up, and sat opposite Gao Bufan.

Ming Cui poured a glass of wine for each of them, then stepped back in a very sensible way, Gao Bufan raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Come on, I will offer Mr. Wei a glass of wine, and wash away the dust for Mr. Wei."

Wei Zheng's heart warmed, he raised his glass to drink with Gao Bufan, Ming Cui immediately stepped forward to refill it for the two of them.This time it was Wei Zheng who raised his glass first, and said: "Thanks to Mr. Gao for seeing it, Wei Zheng borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and also toasted Mr. Gao. I wish Mr. Gao a bright future and a smooth career."

"Thank you!" Gao Bufan drank another drink with Wei Zheng with a smile, and said: "Mr. Wei is able to come, I am overjoyed, I wronged Mr. Wei to be an assistant for the time being, and the monthly fee is [-] yuan, what do you think?"

Obviously, Wei Zheng had expected this for a long time. After all, Gao Bufan was also a new official, so it was impossible for him to arrange a public position, and being an aide was his old job, so Wei Zheng also expected that Gao Bufan would let him continue to be an aide, but The monthly payment of [-] renminbi was beyond his expectation. It was not too little, but too much. He only received [-] renminbi per month when he was most proud in the prefect's mansion. Didn't do it, Gao Bufan gave himself a monthly payment of [-] yuan. If he was still dissatisfied, he nodded quickly and said: "Master Gao appreciates it so much, I am flattered, but Wei Zheng has a straight temper, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he can't touch his mouth." It's disgusting, even if Mr. Gao is wrong, I will point it out, if Mr. Gao accepts it, Wei Zheng will stay and assist Mr. If Mr. Gao doesn't like it, Wei Zheng will pack up and leave immediately."

In history, Wei Zheng was famous for his straight remonstrance. Since Gao Bufan was able to find him, he was naturally prepared and asked himself how tolerant he was, so he said with a smile: "You can straighten your clothes with copper as a mirror; With a mirror, you can know the ups and downs; with people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Although Changqing is not talented, I hope to use Mr. Wei as a mirror!"

Wei Zheng's eyes flashed brightly, his face flushed with excitement, he really saw the right person, just based on these few words, this guy is a person who can do great things, he quickly stood up and bowed deeply: "Master Gao can have such a big heart!" Why don't you worry about accomplishing great things, Wei Zheng is willing to do his best for Mr. Gao, until he dies!"

Gao Bufan quickly stood up and said: "Mr. Wei is serious, please sit down quickly!"

Ming Cui looked at her young master adoringly with pretty eyes, and thought to herself, it's really good, my young master is knowledgeable, this sentence is so good, um, the servant girl has to write it down!
"By the way, I just heard from Mr. Gao that he just came back from outside. I wonder if Mr. Gao has chosen a racecourse?" Wei Zheng asked.

As the saying goes, people are soft-spoken and short-handed, Gao Bufan treats him so courteously, Wei Zheng is naturally anxious to show his performance, do something for Gao Bufan, and prove his worth by the way, so he took the initiative to ask about the racecourse.

This question was in Gao Bufan's hands. Although Gao Bufan brought more than a dozen servants with him when he left home, they could only run errands, and there were no talents who could actually take charge. Yes, asking them to preside over the construction of the racecourse is obviously incompetent, and they can't pass the level of just writing and calculating. Now that Wei Zheng is here, it happens to be able to entrust him with this task.

Ever since, Gao Bufan told Wei Zheng about his visit to Yuyi Town a few days ago, and expressed his hope that Wei Zheng would be fully responsible for the construction of the racecourse.

Hearing the words, Old Wei cheered up, and immediately agreed, but he was a little worried: "Master Gao, can the people in the Harry Department be trusted? Besides, the Xiren Chuli Department will definitely return in the future. Is our horse farm built there? Are you adventurous?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "It is indeed a bit risky, but it's not a big deal, not to mention that apart from Yuyi Town, it is difficult to find a suitable place to raise horses in Zhuo County. The Hari Department is very reliable, Mr. Wei can rest assured, as for the Xi clan Chu Libu has been frightened by the plague. It is impossible to turn back in a short time. Even if they turn back, it will definitely hurt their vitality. It would be best if they are willing to live in peace. If they want to meet swordsmen, I have a way response."

What is the saying?It is easy to ask God, but it is difficult to send God away!
Although I didn't invite Xi Ren to go, but Xi Ren is not here now, I took advantage of the emptiness to build a racecourse, occupy the site, and once I gained a foothold, even if Xi Ren turned around, it would not be so easy to drive myself out. Moreover, Xi Ren has to consider his own background. He still has scruples about the Great Sui Dynasty. In the name of training soldiers and suppressing bandits, he voted for him, and Xi Ren stopped after knowing the benefits.

Seeing that Gao Bufan had a plan in mind, Wei Zheng felt relieved, nodded and said: "Since Mr. Gao thinks it is feasible, then I will leave the matter of building the racecourse to my humble servant."

Gao Bufan said happily after hearing the words: "In this way, there will be Mr. Laowei. I will ask Shixiong and Xiongheng to assist Mr. Ming Cui, go and... Forget it, let me do it myself, you can't move it!"

After Gao Bufan finished speaking, he went back to the room and took out the box of "soft food money" sent by Xian Niang and handed it to Wei Zheng, jokingly said: "This official has all his family assets here, Mr. Wei, you look at the flowers yourself, if you If it’s not enough, you have to find a way to make up for it yourself.”

When Wei Zheng saw the box of gold, silver and jewelry, he couldn't help being startled. He was shocked by Gao Bufan's boldness and moved by Gao Bufan's trust. The money worth tens of thousands of taels was thrown to him like that, so he was not afraid of taking it himself. Money running away?
Wei Zheng closed the box and said solemnly: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, for your trust in me, but it's not appropriate for me to hold this money. As the saying goes, I don't pay for the melon fields, and I don't pay for the crown. I can be responsible for the construction of the racecourse, but I can't take care of the accounts. Don't worry, the money and silver can't be kept by me. It's better for Mr. Gao to assign someone to manage the accounts. No rules can't be done. If Mr. Gao wants to achieve great things, he must not be so sloppy in the future. From now on, he must set rules and everything There must be rules to measure, rules to find, and things to be done in accordance with the rules!"

Gao Bufan sweated secretly, cupped his hands and said: "What Mr. Wei said is very true, Changqing has been educated."

Seeing that Gao Bufan was able to accept it humbly, Wei Zheng felt that he had joined the right person this time.Gao Bufan moved the box of money back to the room, and planned to send someone back to Feiying Racecourse tomorrow, and summon the housekeeper Xia Caishen to take care of the accounts, this is his old profession.

Afterwards, Gao Bufan and Wei Zheng continued to eat and chat happily. When Wei Zheng learned about Yu Wenhua and making him wear small shoes, Old Wei couldn't help but frowned and said, "Temporarily increase the quota by [-]%. This is too much, how can it be collected, does Mr. Gao have a way to deal with it?"

Gao Bufan frowned and said: "For the time being, there is no good solution. If it is really impossible, you have to do it if you offend someone."

Wei Zheng was silent when he heard the words, Gao Bufan's heart moved, and he asked, "Mr. Wei has a good idea?"

Wei Zheng said in a deep voice, "If the quota is imposed, my lord will offend the noble gentry of Zhuo County, especially the Lu family of Fanyang, so this matter must not be done. After all, my lord will still have a foothold in Zhuo County in the future!"

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "That's the reason, but if the horse can't be accepted, Yu Wenhuaji will definitely make a fuss about it."

"I heard that Mr. Gao was recommended by Ke Dun, how about..."

Gao Bufan immediately interrupted with a wave of his hand: "We can't ask Ke Dun to come forward with this matter, not to mention that Ke Dun has already left Zhuojun to return to Turkic."

Wei Zheng had no choice but to give up when he heard the words, and changed his words: "It is said that the imperial servant Yang Yichen is a fair person, and it is obviously unreasonable for Zhuo County to temporarily increase the quota by [-]%. Why don't you ask Yang Yichen to explain it?"

Gao Bufan nodded and said: "This is feasible, but as Taipu Yang is the chief official of the Taipu Temple, it is impossible for him not to know about this matter, I am afraid that looking for him will be in vain, so the key is the emperor. The emperor is preparing for the second visit." Zheng, the army is in urgent need of war horses, I guess Yu Wenhuaji also saw this point, and greatly increased the quota of Zhuo County, on the one hand to please the emperor, on the other hand, to trip this official."

Hearing this, Wei Zheng frowned, suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "That's right, the key to this matter lies with the emperor, I have an idea, I don't know if it can be done!"

Gao Bufan suddenly became interested, and quickly asked: "Is it a plan?"

Wei Zheng leaned into Gao Bufan's ear and whispered something, Gao Bufan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he blurted out: "Good plan. Mr. Wei has the talent of Wang Zuo!"

Wei Zheng got Gao Bufan's affirmation, he couldn't help but cheer up, but he said modestly: "Master Gao is too famous, whether this matter can be done, the key depends on whether the Harry Department is willing or not."

Gao Bufan nodded and smiled, "I'm [-]% sure about this matter. Well, Mr. Wei will rest for a few days. Later, I will take you to Yuyi Town and let Mr. Wei get acquainted with the road and environment."

Wei Zheng was full of energy now, and immediately said that he didn't need to rest, so Gao Bufan immediately decided to leave for Yuyi Town tomorrow, and this matter should be done sooner rather than later.
