Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

The fat boy rolled his eyes and stretched out his hand to grab the stone from the customer's hand.

The customer hurriedly hugged her tightly, "I didn't say I didn't want it."

The fat boy clicked his tongue and said: "This gambling on stone is all about luck. There are only ten taels of silver left and right. I hesitate and hesitate to prevent others from buying. Let me tell you, I bought a piece yesterday, and I didn't hold it in the first place. With great hope, I went to the jade shop over there to cut it, but I didn't expect to find a good product, so I made a profit of 100 taels with my backhand. Hehe, I took advantage of the good luck and bought two more pieces, maybe I can make a fortune."

As soon as the customer heard this, it matched what the young man selling jade said earlier, and he was even more reluctant to let go of the jade in his arms, especially when he saw the fat young man's coveted face.

"This one, I want it!"

The customer quickly took out ten taels of silver, threw it to the young man, and then hurried towards the direction of Jade Shop.

After the man left, the two young men leaned over to weigh the silver.

Liu Yunxiang frowned and walked towards them, "Business should be based on integrity, deception and abduction are the most taboo."

When they saw Liu Yunxiang, the two teenagers recognized him and stood up quickly to salute.

Liu Yunxiang raised his hand to stop them, "Aren't you afraid that the customer will come back to cause trouble for you after giving out scraps?"

The fat boy scratched his head and said, "Let's make it clear to him that this stone betting depends on luck. If it doesn't work well, it will naturally mean that he is unlucky. Besides, who doesn't do some tricks in this area selling jade materials?"

Liu Yunxiang looked in the direction pointed by the fat boy. There were no jade stalls in sight. Everyone was shouting hard. There might be customers in front of the stalls or not. Some of these customers were real, and some were shills.

Since the jade processing market was formed in Panlong City, merchants selling jade have gathered here. The jade business has prospered, and various businesses that rely on jade have sprung up.She can control the general direction, but she cannot dissuade people from doing small business.

Thinking of this, she could only sigh.If the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is absolutely a wise saying.

"Madam, don't worry, I won't let him suffer a big loss." The young man in the middle said.

Liu Yunxiang looked at him. Compared with three years ago, this young man had grown much taller, his face was young and handsome, his temperament was more stable, and he looked confident.

"Oh?"

Just when Liu Yunxiang was puzzled by what he said, the customer came out of the jade shop with a brisk expression. He couldn't be said to be overjoyed or disappointed.He walked towards this side and raised his chin at the young man.

"I'm not as lucky as this little brother, but I'm still lucky. I can make a bracelet and a pendant. It would be nice to give it to my wife when I go home." After the customer finished speaking, he smiled and turned around and left.

"Actually, these stones are all about the same. They are not the best, but they are not waste either. They can always bring out some good results." The young man said.

Liu Yunxiang raised his eyebrows, "I've seen them selling these stones by the truckload in the market. Vendors like you have to rely on robbing. They grab piles of piles. What kind of stones they grab are what they are. Before you cut the stone, you don’t even know whether you can draw a lottery or not.”

"Hey, they are just robbing randomly, but Brother Jian is really looking at the goods. Only if there are good goods in this pile, he will spend a lot of money to buy them." The fat boy said proudly.

Liu Yunxiang didn't believe it, "Can you tell the secret?"

The young man nodded, "We worked with a boss for the first two years. He knew how to read. I learned some secretly, and then I started this business."

Steal?

Liu Yunxiang smiled, this is not easy to learn. His ability to see so accurately is obviously due to his talent.

Seeing that the two young men were kind in their actions, Liu Yunxiang stopped saying anything, turned around and walked a few steps, then stopped again.

"Do you want to go to Lingyun's jade processing workshop to learn how to process jade?" Liu Yunxiang asked.The eyes of the young man in the middle lit up, then dimmed again, "But this skill is something that masters cannot easily pass on to others."

"As long as I deliver the message, you can rest assured."

The young man nodded quickly, "I do."

But the fat boy shook his head, "I just want to sell stones here. I can make a little money and be satisfied with food and clothing."

"Zhuzi, you need to take a longer view. You can become an apprentice with me."

"Brother Jian, go ahead and I'll sell you stones to support you."

"Pillar……"

"You know I'm stupid, I can't learn, and I delay making money."

Seeing that the fat young man refused, Liu Yunxiang didn't persuade him much and took the young man named Li Jian to the jade processing workshop to apprentice.The old masters of their jade processing workshop are all from the south of the Yangtze River. They are very skilled, but they are old and cannot keep up with the energy.

Liu Yunxiang asked the person in charge here to find some spiritual young people in the local area and let these masters teach him. However, this craft is not easy to learn, and some people who have entered this profession may not be able to.

Liu Yunxiang handed Li Jian to the manager and asked him to take more care of him.

Back at the palace, the servants were packing their bags. They would set off back to Shengjing early tomorrow morning.I asked the servants and found out that Yan Mu was in the study and Liu Yunxiang went over.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard Yan Mu shout loudly: "These are the talents selected by the imperial examination, Chun Chun is just a big idiot!"

Liu Yunxiang sighed slightly and turned around to ask the guard to get some tea.

At this time, someone in the room said: "Originally, the test was held every three years. Because the court was in urgent need of talents, Enke was added and the threshold was lowered appropriately. Therefore, it was inevitable that the good and the bad would be mixed. This County Magistrate Liu was inexperienced, and he was an official. The family has never lived the life of ordinary people, so some of the laws it enacted are out of touch with reality, causing public resentment. If it is corrected in time, it is not a big mistake."

"Isn't it a big mistake to force people to hang themselves in front of government offices?"

"Yes, fortunately the official stopped me."

Liu Yunxiang knew this. Yuchi County below Hukou City was famous for growing sorghum and brewing sorghum wine.The newly appointed Magistrate Liu felt that growing sorghum was not cost-effective, and seeing that there were people in other counties making a lot of money growing grapes, he forced all the people to grow grapes.But grapes are not always produced the same year they are planted. This step he took was too big, so that the people lost their income and food rations, and there was widespread resentment among the people.

The guard brought tea, Liu Yunxiang brought it over, then opened the door and went in.

At a glance, he saw his younger brother Liu Yunheng sitting on a chair, and Yan Mu sitting in the upright position with an ugly expression.She went over and gave each of them a cup of tea to calm down their anger.

"Now that something has happened, there's no point in complaining. Let's think of a solution first."

Yan Mu said angrily: "Even if he doesn't understand grape cultivation, he should learn about it first. Thinking about it, he didn't even have a plan. What's the use of keeping such an official? He took off his black gauze hat. Bar."

Liu Yunheng sighed, "But there is no one in the court who can replace him."

"I will keep this in mind and look for a suitable person when I return to Beijing."

Liu Yunheng nodded, "With these words from the prince, I feel relieved."

"As for the matter in Yuchi County, since grapes have been planted, this can only be done for now. You can raise food from other counties to help them first." (End of Chapter)
