This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 525 Volume [-] The Mind of Two Old Foxes

Two days later, Xu Jingzong and his party finally entered the territory of Datang in a hurry.

Until this moment, Xu Jingzong was relieved.

In the past two days, the group of them were chased by the secret agents of the Ming Dynasty like dogs that lost their homes. If it weren't for their large numbers and power, it would not be easy to escape.

Of course, this is their own opinion.

"Finally, I have left the Daming royal court." While Xu Jingzong heaved a sigh of relief, he did not forget to say with emotion, "I just hope that I don't know that this trip is the old man who poached so many craftsmen from Daming."

He wanted to make contributions, but he didn't want to offend Li Chengqian too much.

"Your Majesty, don't worry." The confidant said, "This time we are all using aliases in the Ming court, no matter how powerful that person is, he will not be able to investigate us.

Besides, it was his subordinates who voluntarily followed us, so what if he finds out? "

"I hope so." Xu Jingzong didn't bother to reprimand him when he heard what his cronies said.

How can it be?

Who is Li Chengqian?

If he really wants to know, is there still no way to deal with Xu Jingzong?
"Let's not talk about that, hurry up to Taozhou Mansion and ask the sheriff to report to you." Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Send someone to inform the sheriff so they can make preparations earlier."

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, his cronies left immediately to make arrangements.

After another half day, Xu Jingzong and his party finally arrived outside the city of Taozhou.

"The county guard's mansion is really a big show." Under the city gate, Xu Jingzong's cronies saw that no one came from the county guard's mansion, and immediately said angrily, "Your Majesty has worked so hard for the county guard in the Ming court." Well, we have already informed them several times, but in the end, the county guard’s mansion didn’t even have a single person to greet them, it’s so rude!”

Xu Jingzong was actually a little displeased, he is a very face-saving person, he followed his eldest grandson Wuji to take office in Taohe County, but no one greeted him, isn't this a slap in the face?

Of course, Xu Jingzong is also a smart man, he waved his hand, and said: "Forget it, now we have just returned from the Daming court, and we have made too much noise in the Daming court this time, what did Changsun Junshou do? It is also protecting us. If the person in Daming knows that the person who made troubles in the Daming court this time is the old man, and is targeted by him, the life of the old man will not be so easy in the future.

Now, it's better to keep a low profile. Speaking of which, the Changsun Sheriff has good intentions. "

From this point of view, this is really a good thing.

But after all, Xu Jingzong is a face-saving person after all, and he is still a little depressed.

"Let's go, enter the city, and go straight to the Sheriff's Mansion." After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he asked again, "Have the craftsmen been arranged?"

Naturally, he couldn't be so stupid as to bring those craftsmen into the city by himself. No one knows the power of the Daming Royal Court now, and even this Taozhou Mansion might not have spies from the Daming Royal Court.

He would never make such a low-level mistake.

"It's all arranged."

After the confidant finished speaking, Xu Jingzong nodded, and then led everyone into the city.

After a while, Xu Jingzong brought his people to the Sheriff's Mansion.

In front of the sheriff's mansion, the old servant beside Changsun Wuji had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time. When he saw Xu Jingzong, he bowed eagerly and smiled and said, "The old servant, Sun Fu, was ordered by the sheriff to welcome you here." Xu Juncheng."

Jun Cheng?
Xu Jingzong didn't expect that the post that Changsun Wuji arranged for him was the post of county magistrate. You know, this post of magistrate is the second in command in a county, second only to the magistrate.

In other words, in Taohe County, apart from Changsun Wuji, he was the one who had the final say.

Not to mention, at the beginning Xu Jingzong really didn't think about the post of Jun Cheng. After all, Chu Suiliang was still there, so the post of Jun Cheng would never fall into his hands.

But since Changsun Wuji made such an arrangement, of course he would not refuse, he immediately got off his horse and cupped his hands and said, "You are welcome, old man, thanks to the county guard for his support."

As the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, although Changsun Fu is only an old servant, no one in Chang'an Xungui knows that this old guy has followed Changsun Wuji for more than [-] years, and has a pivotal position in the Changsun family, even the Empress Changsun You have to call Fubo when you see it. It is completely unnecessary to offend such a person.

"Then Xu Juncheng came into the back house with the old servant. My lord has already prepared a banquet for Xu Juncheng, and he is waiting to welcome Xu Juncheng." Changsun Fu said with a smile.

Xu Jingzong waved his hand, and after dismissing his entourage, he said: "Please, sir."

"Please, Xu Juncheng." After finishing speaking, Changsun Fu slightly turned sideways, spread his right hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

Naturally, Xu Jingzong was not polite, he walked in with big strides.

In just a moment, Xu Jingzong came down to the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion led by Changsun Fu, and Changsun Wuji had indeed waited for a long time, and when he saw Xu Jingzong entering, he just smiled.

Seeing this, Xu Jingzong quickly walked up in three steps and two steps, and said respectfully: "It's a good thing that the officer Xu Jingzong didn't disgrace his order, and he is here to return to his order today."

"Yan Clan." Changsun Wuji stood up, dragging Xu Jingzong who was about to bow to the end with both hands, and said with a smile, "This time I have to thank the Yan Clan, otherwise, how could Taohe County open so many jobs in a short period of time?" Fang."

"It's all the job of a subordinate official. I can't afford to be praised by the sheriff." Xu Jingzong said modestly.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Yanzu, originally you have made great contributions this time, and I should have gone to the city gate to greet you in person, but it just so happened that something urgent happened to the county guard's mansion, so don't worry about it." It is the official who is to blame."

"How dare you, my subordinate?" Xu Jingzong said hastily, "The county guard has good intentions, but it's too late for me to thank you, so how dare you blame me?"

"It's easy to talk to smart people." Changsun Wuji smiled, "Come and sit, this officer personally ordered the kitchen to prepare this. It must be difficult for the Yan family to sleep in the open air in Daming during this time. Today, The old man and the Yan family will not return if they are not drunk."

After finishing speaking, Changsun Wuji raised his glass and said, "I respect the Yan clan!"

"Don't dare." Xu Jingzong quickly picked up his wine glass, and said, "It's the next official to respect the county guard."

When he picked up the wine glass, the two of them didn't care who was toasting to whom, anyway, they drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking a glass of wine, Changsun Wuji pulled Xu Jingzong and said: "The Yan family also knows that His Majesty handed over this Water River County to the old man for the purpose of doing something in this Water River County. After all, Riyue Mountain and others A barren land can become a big city, and the two prefectures of the Tang and Taohe rivers are not inferior to Riyue Mountain, right?"

"That's natural." Xu Jingzong heard the words and said, "Whether it is in terms of background, geographical environment, or the scale of the city, Riyue Mountain cannot be compared with Taohe two prefectures.

The sheriff also knew that the official had only left Riyue Mountain a few days ago, so he had seen the prosperity of Riyue Mountain. "

"Yan Clan, please tell me." Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji asked eagerly, "What is so magical about Riyue Mountain? Why did it become like this in just a few years? "

Seeing Changsun Wuji's eager look, Xu Jingzong was a little curious. If he said that Changsun Wuji had never been to Riyue Mountain in person, he would believe it, but if he said that Changsun Wuji didn't know the situation of Riyue Mountain, he would be absolutely sure. I don't believe it.

"The Yan Clan doesn't know something." Changsun Wuji laughed when he saw Xu Jingzong's reaction, "Although I have sent a lot of people to Riyue Mountain to inquire about the situation, how can they have the Yan Clan's vision? This How can they see the details clearly than the Yan family?"

Who is Xu Jingzong? Doesn't Changsun Wuji know that, let alone this guy's ability, he loves face very much. If he needs this guy in the future, he still has to give him the face he deserves.

And Xu Jingzong did not doubt that there was him, indeed, what Changsun Wuji said was really correct, even he thought so.

"When you go back to the county guard, although the official didn't stay in Riyue Mountain for a long time, he also found some problems."

"Huh? Please invite the Yan family to come one by one."

"The reason why Riyue Mountain is so prosperous today is because of commerce." Xu Jingzong said, "In the entire Riyue Mountain, more than half of the people either do business directly or rely on commercial-related industries to make a living.

This is also the reason why Riyue Mountain can develop into a large metropolis in a short period of time. There is no way, Riyue Mountain's business atmosphere is too heavy.

In addition, there are many things that are not found in other places except Riyue Mountain, which also attracts a large number of merchants to gather in Riyue Mountain.

But this also planted a fatal flaw in Riyue Mountain. "

"Eh?" Changsun Wuji asked, "What shortcoming?"

"No one is farming!" Xu Jingzong said, "Perhaps the county guard can't believe it. There are not a few people farming in the huge Riyue Mountain, including the surrounding area. If something happens, Riyue Mountain will be in danger!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said nothing, he naturally knew about this, but seeing Xu Jingzong's words were full of energy, he naturally didn't want to break his enthusiasm, so he nodded in agreement and said: "That's true, as the saying goes, food is the most important thing for the people. God, what Riyue Mountain did was really inappropriate.

But that's someone else's business after all, Yan Clan, how do you think our Water River County will develop?

You also know that the two state capitals under the jurisdiction of the Water River County are the most barren state capitals in the Tang Dynasty, but even so, they are much stronger than the Daming Royal Court. A bright pearl, I, Datang, naturally cannot be left behind. "

"Although Riyue Mountain has many problems, it is not easy to catch up with Riyue Mountain in a short time." Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "After all, many things sold by Riyue Mountain are irreplaceable. , nothing else, just talk about the paper, as long as the paper business is still going on, Riyue Mountain will not decline.

Although this time the officials brought back many craftsmen from the Ming court, but according to them, their crafts were just for daily necessities.

Among the craftsmen of the Ming court, they are only the most common ones.

Speaking of this, it's a dereliction of duty. "

"Where is the Yan family?" Changsun Wuji smiled, "It would be great to bring back so many craftsmen."

Even though he said so, he was sneering in his heart, if the artisans who mastered those core technologies, could you bring them back so easily?
Xu Jingzong also nodded, and said: "Although we haven't got those core craftsmen, these craftsmen are enough for us to use temporarily.

After all, the things produced by the Ming court are hard to find in my Tang Dynasty, and although the land in my Water River County is poor, it has a large population. We can borrow nearly two hundred craftsmen to water the river. County Daxing workshop, when the time comes, the profits brought by the workshop alone will make me pour River County Daxing!
After all, compared to Daming, we have more advantages in terms of geographical location and manpower. "

"The words of the Yan family coincide with this official." Changsun Wuji smiled, "In this way, the matter will be handled by the Yan family. Not to mention, when you were in the Ming court, this official has already More than [-] workshops have been built in Water River County, all of which are left to you.

If this matter is done well, I will definitely be on the stage to play for your Majesty to ask for credit for you! "

"The next official will be lucky to live up to his fate!" Xu Jingzong became excited when he heard this.

This is a good thing, the key is that there is a big pearl in front, no matter how you look at this job, it can make political achievements.

"I also hope that the Yan family will not disappoint His Majesty and this official." Changsun Wuji said, holding up his wine glass and saying, "Come on, this official wishes the Yan family a great success in my pouring river county in advance."

"Your Majesty thanked the Sheriff for his kindness." Xu Jingzong also picked up his wine glass and drank it down.

After speaking, the two chatted about some specific matters of the workshop, and then Xu Jingzong bowed to leave.

After he left, Changsun Fu said with a puzzled face: "Mr. Lang, this workshop will be handed over to Xu Jingzong? Isn't this man a kind person?"

"Why?" Changsun Wuji laughed, "Are you still worried that he would pocket his own money?"

"Judging from his temperament, it's not impossible." Changsun Fu was really worried about this.

Xu Jingzong is greedy for money, who in this world doesn't know?
If he wasn't greedy for money, would he be able to sell his daughter?

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Don't worry, this Xu Jingzong is indeed greedy for money, but he is a very clear-headed person, what kind of money can be greedy and what kind of money can't be greedy, he knows very well.

Didn't you see that when he mentioned the workshop just now, he didn't mention my eldest grandson's family, let alone his Xu family?
This shows that he knows exactly who the workshop is. "

For Xu Jingzong, Changsun Wuji can't talk about trust or distrust. In his opinion, as long as he can do things, it doesn't matter whether it is a black cat or a white cat.

At the beginning, he planned to give Xu Jingzong the post of long history, but in the end after thinking about it, he still gave him the post of county magistrate.

This position is good, not too big and not too small, and it will be a key flag when things really come to an end.

And after Xu Jingzong left the sheriff's mansion, his old servants were waiting outside early.

"Lang Jun, are you going back to the Governor's Mansion now?"

These people had not entered the prefect's mansion before, so they were taken to the prefect's mansion.

Xu Jingzong nodded and got into the carriage.

In the carriage, Xu Jingzong said: "Unexpectedly, the old man not only took up the post of governor of Taohe County, but also took charge of all workshop affairs. This eldest grandson Wuji is willing."

The old servant who was waiting on the side was surprised when he heard the words: "The county guard handed over all the workshops to the gentleman?"

Nodding his head, Xu Jingzong said: "I didn't expect that, let alone this errand, I didn't even think about the position of Juncheng. I didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would use Chu Suiliang instead of Chu Suiliang. It's really surprising. .

By the way, what is Chu Suiliang's position now? "

"I heard it's Hezhou don't drive." The old servant also just inquired.

"Don't drive in Hezhou? Interesting." Xu Jingzong laughed.

However, the old servant said with some concern: "Mr. Lang, the relationship between this eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang is obviously closer. Now, if he entrusts such an important position to Mr. Lang, will he be uneasy?"

"That's natural." Xu Jingzong sneered, "This old fox really thinks that the old man can't understand his mind. Although Jun Cheng is a high-ranking and powerful person, he is also the most suitable person to use to top the tank.

After all, he didn't treat us as his own after all. "

"Then shall we..."

Before the old servant could finish his sentence, Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "It's okay, wealth and wealth are in danger, since now he has let the old man take full charge of the workshop, then the old man must handle this matter well and beautifully.

By the way, this time the old fox has let the old man take full charge of the affairs of the workshop, and even let the old man recruit the staff himself. You have to work harder these two days. Let them go to various workshops and listen to their opinions on the matters of each workshop.

In the past two days, the old man has started to staff the workshop. Since it is going to be done, it should be done to the best. Although this matter is very risky, it is also an opportunity for the old man. "

PS: Sorry, after taking the medicine yesterday, I slept for nearly 20 hours. When I woke up, it was already early this morning. Seeing this, I simply fell asleep again...
