Obtain the divine power at the beginning
Chapter 471: Eagle Detective's Great Contribution
Lu Weiting saw it and his daughter was very happy with Shi Tianyu.
I also knew in my heart that Xie Wen was here to come as a matchmaker.
Therefore, Lu Weiting also expressed his position in public, stroking his beard and smiling: "Thank you, my lord, I agree with the marriage between Ying'er and Master Shi. However, I have lived in Taiyuan Fucheng all my life and I can't bear to leave my hometown. I'd better go back to Taiyuan Fucheng to live in peace."
~~
A group of escorts then happily congratulated Lu Weiting, saying that Mr. Lu had found a good family for Miss Lu. From then on, the Jinyuan Escort Agency no longer had to worry about making a living.
~~
When Lu Jian saw that his father agreed, he did not dare to object.
However, the face is still dark.
Just because when Shi Tianyu and Lu Ying first met, they were called the Stone Demon and they teased Lu Ying. They always believed that Shi Tianyu was not a gentleman.
However, eating someone else's mouth is short, and taking someone else's hand is short.
Lu Jian now had no choice but to accept his fate.
I thought: Business has been difficult in recent years, and the escort business has been very bleak.
Jinyuan Escort Bureau relies on Shi Tianyu's gifts of money to survive.
Shi Tianyu said that he was entrusting the escort, but in fact he was sending money to the Jinyuan Escort Agency.
Now it seems that Shi Tianyu has a plan for Lu’s girl!
Damn it, this Shi Tianyu is really nothing. Unknowingly, he bribed all the people in Lu's escort agency.
~~
Xie Wen laughed loudly and said with a smile: "Okay, Xie will take the first step, catch up with Master Shi, and tell him the good news. I guess the bride price will not be small. Haha!" After that, he stepped forward and volleyed. Flying, he caught up with Shi Tianyu in the blink of an eye and floated down in front of Shi Tianyu's horse. Shi Tianyu hurriedly reined in his horse and stopped.
Xie Wen said with a smile: "Nephew Shi Xian, I just told Mr. Lu about your marriage to Miss Lu. He agreed, and you can marry Miss Lu. However, you have to pay the matchmaker's money. And, no less.”
Lu Ying scolded: "Xie Daxia, you are so shameless and annoying." She said so, but her pretty face was red, and she was lying in Shi Tianyu's arms with a sweet smile on her face and her heart was filled with happiness.
~~
Shi Tianyu took out a banknote from his arms and took it casually. When he saw that it was a banknote with a denomination of three thousand taels, he stuffed the banknote to Xie Wen and said, "Thank you, sir. When have I given less?" Your money. Keep these three thousand taels for now. You don’t have anything to do here in Fucheng. You can go visit Qin Guangtou for me. I’m worried about them, you know.”
It was hinted that Xie Wen should go to Northwest Flame Village.
~~
Xie Wen took the banknote, put it in his pocket, said with a smile: "No!" Then he stepped forward and flew away in the sky.
Lu Ying said with emotion: "It's true that money can make all the difference! Even the Eagle Detective is willing to use it for you. Money is so attractive!"
~~
Shi Tianyu lowered his head and took a sip of Lu Ying's fragrance, then smiled and said: "Don't people live by money? Except for true love and true friendship, which cannot be bought, everything else can be bought.
It was also because I was being hunted back then that I suddenly thought about money.
Before this, I didn’t have to worry about food or clothing, and I didn’t know where the money came from.
However, after being hunted for no apparent reason, I realized that people need money to live in this world.
So, later on, I seriously thought of ways to make money. After I got rich, I understood some truths better.
In fact, the people in the martial arts world are chasing me because of money and the fake treasure map.
Then, by spending more money, I suddenly had many friends, and suddenly there were many people who helped me talk and help me do this and that.
I understand everything about money. It turns out that whether a person has money or not occupies the most important position in life.
A poor person can only be a beggar, a tenant, chop wood for a living, and lick blood from the tip of a knife. He does not know what will happen tomorrow, and he has no choice but to eat the last meal. Therefore, people's life span is very short, and they all die in pain and sorrow.
Therefore, I am very generous to my relatives and good friends.
Xie Daxia is the person who heads the Mingjiao Jiangnan branch. The Mingjiao Jiangnan branch was in trouble because it had no money before.
Therefore, for such a heroic team, we have to support them and let them unite.
In the future, we will always be useful to others. And for so many years, Xie Daxia has been helping me secretly. As the saying goes, mountains and rivers meet each other. As a human being, you must do good deeds and accumulate virtue. "
~~
Lu Ying said "Yeah", she was intoxicated and confused.
Being hugged by Shi Tianyu like this, being smelled so sweetly by Shi Tianyu, I was really confused.
~~
Shi Tianyu saw Lu Ying with her eyes closed, her whole body feeling hot, and her pretty face turning into an apple. Then he raised his left middle finger, hugged Lu Ying and walked into the master bedroom of locker No. 01 in the system space.
He raised his foot again, hooked the horse's reins, and led the war horse into the system space.
Then, let go of the horse's reins and let it go.
Whatever the horse does, it can't escape the system space, nor can it escape the No. 01 locker.
Shi Tianyu then had a wedding night with Lu Ying, who still had her eyes closed and was very intoxicated. All other matters would be discussed after completing this glorious task.
……
~~
After passing Xianjing Mountain, everything will be fine.
From Fucheng to Chengdu, there are mainly two places, Donkey King Mountain and Xianjing Mountain. Because there are narrow valleys, it is easy to set up ambushes, so robbers are frequent.
Lu Weiting, Lu Jian and his son escorted the escort to the gate of the Fucheng government office and asked the policeman: "Where is Mr. Shi? We have escorted the escort back. We have to ask your financial officials to come out and hand over these carts of escort money."
~~
The policeman said that he had not seen Mr. Shi, and the old man invited him inside to drink tea. He was very kind and respectful, because there were rules.
Because after Shi Tianyu became the prefect, he announced four prohibitions. No matter who comes to the government office, whether he is a policeman or a servant, he must speak kindly and treat him warmly and generously. Otherwise, he will be punished and expelled. .
~~
Lu Weiting and his son and the bodyguards only stayed outside the government office, waiting for Shi Tianyu and Lu Ying to return.
However, after waiting for a long time, Shi Tianyu and Lu Ying still did not appear.
Lu Jian was anxious and worried about his sister's safety, so he said to Lu Weiting: "Dad, will my sister and Shi Tianyu be ambushed in Xianjing Mountain?"
Lu Weiting said with a smile: "It's impossible. Isn't there Xie DaXia? If there is any situation, Xie DaXia won't come back and tell us? Besides, the Helan Minyue next to Master Shi is so powerful in martial arts, who can kidnap Master Shi? I guess, Lu On the way, Shi Tianyu met some friends from the world, or took Ying'er along to see what was going on in the countryside."
~~
Now, in Lu Weiting's mind, Helan Minyue's martial arts is more powerful than Shi Tianyu's. I witnessed with my own eyes the fight between Helan Minyue and those high martial arts people, and I was very impressed by Helan Minyue.
What I don’t understand is how could Helan Minyue, a girl with such strong martial arts skills and very beauty, be used by Shi Tianyu, and she is also the maid next to Shi Tianyu. It’s really strange!
Shi Tianyu is just a small prefect!
Could it be that Shi Tianyu is some relative of the emperor?
~~
So, Lu Weiting sat in the carriage, smoking his pipe, blowing out big smoke rings, puffing out smoke, trying to calm down. Seeing this, Lu Jian also sat in another carriage and smoked his pipe.
~~
The escort vehicle must be safe in front of the government gate.
It was getting dark, and the public servants wanted to go home for dinner. They all persuaded Lu Weiting to go have dinner first, and then they left one by one.
Wang Chao and Liu Cong came out of the court and heard Lu Weiting say that the money they had brought was silver from the treasury of Bushi Mansion. They were very happy and excited. They understood that this was important official business, so they asked someone to bring food from the inn and invited Lu Weiting and his son to eat in the court. They also had to greet Lu Weiting and his son and the bodyguards for Shi Tianyu.
~~
In the master bedroom of locker No. 01 in the system space, Lu Ying lay in Shi Tianyu's arms and said sweetly and happily: "Are we getting married like this? No wedding? Hey, where is this?"
It felt so sudden and like a dream come true. My heart and body were as excited as it was. It just felt so sudden and surprising.
~~
Shi Tianyu gently separated Lv Ying, got out of bed, and said with a smile: "This is my manor in Xianjing Mountain. The scenery is beautiful. Let's go take a shower. I will show you how to take a shower. From now on, you and the maids and servants will live here. I will go to act as an official during the day. You will have no shortage of money and food for your life, but you need to figure out a lot of living facilities first, otherwise, your life will be very confused in the future."
~~
Lu Ying didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "When I was a few years old, my father and brother went out to escort the caravan and left me at home. But I survived, didn't I? Haha!" Although she said that, she quickly got up and followed Shi Tianyu to the bathroom to take a shower. She found that the living facilities here were indeed completely different from those in her real life.
The living facilities here are really advanced.
~~
Lu Ying couldn't help but feel as if she were in a dream again.
Moreover, there is no need to light candles here, but electricity is used to turn on the lights at night.
What is electricity? What is lighting?
Lu Ying felt like she was in a dream and couldn't understand it.
Shi Tianyu couldn't explain so much at the moment, so he said: "The maids will tell you later. Let's go down the mountain and return to Fucheng first. We can't let your father go hungry."
After that, he hugged Lu Ying and walked out of the bathroom. While changing into new clothes, he used the Tiandun sound transmission to ask the two maids in locker No. 03 to get some women's clothes. Then he raised the middle finger of his left hand and floated the two maids and the clothes over.
~~
Only then did Lu Ying have a chance to change her clothes, otherwise she would only be able to wear the clothes she wore when fighting the enemy.
After a fight with others, you will naturally be covered in sweat and cannot wear it anymore.
When getting dressed in front of Shi Tianyu, Lu Ying was still a little shy, unlike just now when she was rolling around in the quilt so that no one could see.
Now I can see everything clearly.
Shi Tianyu smiled, stood up and walked out, closed the door, and told the two maids to stay in locker No. 01 and be responsible for serving Lu Ying from now on.
~~
After Lu Ying changed her clothes and dressed, Shi Tianyu raised the middle finger of his left hand, led the horse over, asked Lu Ying to mount, then he jumped on the horse himself, rode out of the system space, returned to the foot of Xianjing Mountain, and rode towards Fucheng.
Along the way, Lu Ying was still in a dream, but the newlywed life was sweet and she was intoxicated in the long river of happiness.
So, I didn’t ask too many questions and my mind was relatively simple.
She lay in Shi Tianyu's arms all the way, laughing sweetly, a little silly, but very pure.
When they were almost reaching Fucheng, Shi Tianyu took out another stack of silver bills and stuffed it into Lu Ying's hand.
~~
Lu Ying came back to her senses and counted the banknotes. It turned out to be a stack of banknotes with a face value of 100,000 taels of silver. She asked in shock, "What do you mean? Are you sending me away? Are you not going to marry me? Are you going to end everything with money just like that?"
~~
Shi Tianyu hugged Lu Ying tightly, slightly tightened the reins, let the horse go slowly, leaned over and whispered: "We haven't had time to hold the wedding yet, but we have completed the glorious mission of the wedding night. Your father and brother may not be able to accept it. What should we do? You have to give them money! And you have to give them one banknote after another until they are satisfied. Didn't you say before that money can make the devil work? Money can also make things easier between parents and brothers. Even in the palace, if the emperor rewards the maids and eunuchs with more money, those maids and eunuchs will work harder to serve the emperor and the concubine. Otherwise, the eunuchs and maids will also have complaints, and maybe they will set traps and dig a huge pit for the concubine and the prince to jump into. So, don't think that money is just copper. Of course, money is not omnipotent. But, without money, nothing can be done."
~~
Lu Ying said with emotion: "You don't look like a prefect, but more like a local tycoon in Jianghu. You are quite generous and have always been like this. Now I understand why you have always been so caring for our escort company. It turns out that you have been trying to bribe our Lu family. However, our Lu family is different from that Lu Bu. We are not greedy for money."
Having said that, he put a large stack of banknotes into his pocket.
Subconsciously, I have already agreed with Shi Tianyu's point of view.
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "People are willing to bend over backwards for a few pieces of silver. If you don't give me money, will your father be so good to me? Your father would rather quarrel in the martial arts world than speak well of me. If there is no money to be made, can he speak well of me? Besides, your father is old and it is not suitable for him to continue to lick blood on the edge of the knife in the martial arts world. Although your brother is not the kind of person who is greedy for money, he was prejudiced against me when we first met. Moreover, he and you have the same father but different mothers. How can he be happy if you don't give him some money? After all, he has always loved you very much."
~~
"Haha!" Lu Ying smiled sweetly, but scolded: "You are so mean! You can think of everything. You said so much nonsense. In short, you are just using money to shut them up."
Shi Tianyu laughed again and said, "That's right! I spent so much time and effort just to prove that I can shut up your father and brother with money. Also, you have changed your clothes now, they will definitely suspect that you and I have done something? Otherwise, why would you suddenly change your clothes? And you just came back from the road, and you didn't go shopping, wouldn't they be thinking something? No one knows a daughter better than her father. A father can see through his daughter's mind at a glance."
"Haha!" Lu Ying smiled shyly, but her heart was also filled with happiness. She said with emotion: "I never thought that I would be able to hold a hundred thousand taels of silver in my hand in this life. This is something I have never dreamed of before."
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Haha! Isn't your dream coming true now? It turns out that you didn't marry anyone else for all these years just to wait for me, just to make your dream come true!"
"hehe!"
~~
Shi Tianyu returned to the Fucheng government office and came to the court.
When Liu Cong heard that 60,000 taels of silver had been brought back, he could not help but raise his finger and praise, "Master Shi is truly a god! I have checked and found that this is the largest amount of silver ever approved by the Fucheng government office!"
Then he ordered people to find several colleagues in the Tongzhisi, and also ordered people to find some constables to deliver the 60,000 taels of silver to the government treasury. He also thought: Shi Tianyu got this amount of silver, and the news spreads. Will the county magistrates come to the government office to apply for a share? Will they give some to me? If they don't give me some silver, how can I approve the silver for them?
Haha!
There is some money to be made.
~~
Wang Chao also praised: "Good people are rewarded! Lord Shi kindly sent Lord Dai to Chengdu for treatment, and he was rewarded by applying for a grant of 60,000 taels of silver. This is an incredible event in the history of Fucheng government office!"
When he heard that Lu Yuan's beloved son Lu Chusheng had sworn brotherhood with Shi Tianyu, he put aside his airs as his mentor and Wei Zhongxian's adopted son in front of Shi Tianyu.
Now he felt that Shi Tianyu was indeed smarter than him, and his relationship was constantly expanding. Of course, Shi Tianyu himself didn't care whether he could become sworn brothers with Lu Chusheng, and he looked down on Lu Chusheng in his heart.
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "This is all due to the good teachings of my teacher. The silver on the escort car has been handed over. I will accompany the escorts to the inn and arrange for them to stay for one night. By the way, I will take a look at the night view and public security situation in Fucheng. My teacher, please go back to the government office to rest. I will take two yamen runners to visit the counties tomorrow. My teacher will stay in the government office to take charge of daily official duties. Later, if there is any situation, I will let the constables find you."
Wang Chao and Liu Cong left happily with a smile on their faces.
~~
Shi Tianyu stood up again and walked to the front door of the treasury, found Liu Cong, and said, "Governor Liu, you will be responsible for approving these silvers. You will approve them according to the progress of each county in "One Correction, Two Grasping, and Three Repairs". For counties with fast progress, you will approve more silver. For counties with slow progress, you will approve less or no silver."
Liu Cong was in high spirits and couldn't stop smiling.
I was thinking about making some money from these official duties.
~~
Shi Tianyu then hugged Lu Ying and accompanied Lu Weiting and others to the Fusheng Inn to arrange accommodation. He then handed Lu Weiting a silver note of three thousand taels and whispered, "Old escort leader, please take a look at this inn to see if it suits your taste. If it is suitable, I can buy it and do business with you. The money you earn from running an inn is not less than that from escorting, and there is no risk of licking blood on the knife edge of the martial arts world."
Lu Weiting was old and reluctant to leave his hometown. He shook his head and said, "Thank you for your care, Lord Shi! You gave me an extra two thousand taels of silver, and I am grateful. I have my own ideas for my future life, so Lord Shi will not worry about it."
Listening to these polite words, Lu Ying really didn't know what to say?
I thought: One calls the other Lord Shi, and the other calls the other Old Escort, what about me? How can I say this? I am already a member of the Shi family. It seems that I can only ask Master Xie to come forward to deal with this matter.
However, in front of her father, Lu Ying just went upstairs to her room. How well behaved!
~~
Shi Tianyu followed Lv Weiting upstairs. When he was going up the stairs, when no one was paying attention, he raised his left middle finger, took out a jar of good wine and a box of good tea, held them in his arms, and came to Lv Weiting's upper room, and took the initiative to boil water to make tea. Seeing this, the escorts hurried over, bowed and said, "Master Shi, how can you do such rough work? Please sit down, I will make tea."
~~
Shi Tianyu sat down with a smile.
Lu Weiting said, "Master Shi, I saw a lot of beggars on the street. I wonder if any of them have mixed in with the martial arts world. Judging from their accents, those beggars are basically from the northwest. I'm afraid that people from Xiongjiazhuang have mixed in. I'm still very worried about your safety. You are the financial sponsor of our escort agency!"
Shi Tianyu smiled calmly and said, "We can't catch all these beggars and kill them all, right? Don't worry, I'm lucky! They can't assassinate me." The Lu father and son and the bodyguards were all stunned.
This really makes sense.
~~
At this time, Lu Ying also came over.
Lu Weiting and Lu Jian both looked at Lu Ying in surprise.
Because Lu Ying changed her clothes, Lu Weiting and his son were very confused: Where did the new clothes come from? I didn't see Lu Ying buy new clothes? Where are the old clothes? Even if she went to a tailor shop to make new clothes, it wouldn't be that fast! This new dress is quite expensive, quite high-end and elegant. When she puts it on, her temperament is different.
~~
However, since Shi Tianyu was here, the Lu family father and son did not dare to ask more questions. Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I plan to distribute the fields in Yantai County to those beggars. If some beggars are unwilling to farm, it means that these beggars are not normal people. At that time, I will have to kill them. Beggars are not allowed in the area I govern. Normal people can get fields, have crops to plant, and have food to eat. It is impossible for them to become beggars."
The Lu father and son and all the escorts were startled and looked at Shi Tianyu in a daze.
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled again and said, "I have a friend on Xianjing Mountain, and he has a manor. Just now, when Miss Lu and I passed by Xianjing Mountain, we went to visit a friend of mine. Seeing that Miss Lu was sweating all over because of the fight with those bandits on Donkey King Mountain, I borrowed a piece of clothes from my friend and asked Miss Lu to change into it. Well, you are tired too, so take a rest early. There is a jar of wine. If you can't sleep, you can drink some wine to relieve your fatigue, or you can drink some tea. This wine and tea are the best of the best. I have to go to various counties in disguise tomorrow, and I will only bring a groom with me, and I will be slightly disguised so as not to attract attention. Goodbye, good night!"
After saying that, he stood up, clasped his hands, bowed, and left the inn. He then used the "Heavenly Escape Sound Transmission" to tell Lu Ying not to worry and to wait for Xie Wen to come back. Then he would ask Xie Wen to formally go to Taiyuan Prefecture City and Jinyuan Escort Agency to act as a matchmaker.
~~
Shi Tianyu left.
Lu Weiting asked Lu Ying: "Ying'er, what is the villa in Xianjing Villa like?"
At this time, all the escorts stared at Lu Ying blankly, and felt that Lu Ying looked really beautiful and elegant in the new clothes.
Lu Ying blushed immediately and said embarrassedly: "Master Shi was busy chatting with his friends. I was led by his friend's maid to take a bath and change clothes. I didn't see the scenery much, but the villa is very quiet."
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.
~~
Lu Jian said angrily: "Sister Ying, you are lying!"
It is true. A simple girl cannot tell lies. She even blushes, so how can she be good at lying?
The escorts had all been well-travelled and felt that things were not that simple. They all stared at Lu Ying with eyes wide open.
~~
Being questioned by Lu Jian, Lu Ying had no choice but to grit her teeth and said bravely: "I, I lied. I went to the bridal chamber with Shi, Shi Da, and Shi Tianyu on their wedding night." After that, she turned around and left in a hurry.
He moved very quickly, as if fleeing.
~~
Buzz!
The Lu father and son suddenly shook all over as if struck by lightning.
In such an old society, they cannot accept this reality.
We haven’t even gotten married yet, haven’t had a wedding yet, but already we have our wedding night?
What rules?
Doesn't this undermine the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, ruin the moral atmosphere, and lose the traditional virtues?
The bodyguards were also stunned, and their heads and ears were buzzing.
~~
However, there was one bodyguard who was able to take it easy. After all, he traveled all over the country and often felt lonely on the road, so he often secretly went to those brothels.
So the escort said, "This tea is really fragrant. I have never tasted such a fragrant tea before."
What she meant was that the matter should be forgotten. After all, Lord Shi was rich and Miss Lu liked him.
Everyone came to their senses at this moment. Lu Jian stood up suddenly and said angrily, "I'm going to ask Shi for an explanation."
~~
Lv Weiting came to his senses, stood up to stop Lv Jian, and said, "Xie Daxia is the matchmaker, and Dad agreed at the time. Ying'er has liked Lord Shi for a long time. She has been refusing to get married. If she waits any longer, she will become an old maid. Those girls around our house, who seem to be Ying'er's age, already have several children. Just now, Lord Shi gave Dad a silver note with a face value of three thousand taels. It was too much. Dad thought about your mother's family and there was a severe drought in the northwest this year, so he did not refuse. Now it seems that Lord Shi did it on purpose! Forget it, let Ying'er stay, and we, father and son, will go back to Taiyuan Prefecture tomorrow."
Lu Jian said angrily: "But, there is no wedding! This?! Doesn't this make our Lu family lose face?"
An escort said, "People in the martial arts world still hate Lord Shi. Do you dare to hold a wedding? What if someone comes to assassinate the bride and groom? Wouldn't a happy event become a sad one? Look at what Shi said. It's better to ask Lord Shi for more money. That way it will be more practical." Lu Jian was so angry that he was speechless and fuming.
~~
Lu Weiting was in mixed feelings. On the one hand, he was worried about his daughter's age. In that era, girls usually got married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and Lu Ying was now twenty years old, which was considered an old girl.
On the one hand, I was worried about not being able to hold a wedding for my daughter.
~~
So, Lu Weiting said without any anger: "Let's all go back to sleep."
A person who makes a living as a bodyguard in the underworld cannot have as wide contacts as Shangguan Shu, the leader of the Money Gang, who is the richest man in the world, nor can he be as open-minded as Shangguan Shu.
However, no one moved.
What a nice smell of tea!
Some of the escorts hadn't even taken a sip yet, reluctant to give up the freshly brewed tea.
However, Lu Weiting noticed this, and said unhappily: "Okay, okay, take the wine back to your room and drink it, I am annoyed."
Lu Jian suddenly said, "I want this tea." Then he grabbed the box of tea and left.
~~
The escort named Shi picked up the jar of wine and left.
All the escorts dispersed and went to Shi's room to drink.
Lu Weiting stood up and walked to Lu Ying's door, knocking on it.
Lu Ying's face was still red, and she lowered her head embarrassedly. She came out to open the door, but did not let her father into her room.
Lu Weiting whispered, "No one knows a daughter better than her father. Ying'er, have you decided to stay in Fucheng? Do you really think of it as marrying into the Shi family?" Lu Ying said "um", very gently. She has always been very well-behaved and obedient.
~~
Lu Weiting sighed and said, "Hey! Ying'er, to be honest, what you did is not right and immoral! But, forget it, Dad has only given birth to you, a treasure. Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. Daughters will always get married. But Shi Tianyu is still causing feuds in the martial arts world, and his life may be in danger at any time. You'd better be careful. Besides, your brother loves you very much, so he is angry. Look, look!" At the end, he wanted to mention the betrothal gift, but he stuttered and couldn't continue.
I really can't open my mouth with my old face.
After that, he turned around and left.
~~
Lu Ying immediately relaxed and said with a smile, "Dad, it's not easy for you to raise a daughter. Shi Tianyu said that he would definitely honor you well. He has already given me some money." Then he took out a banknote and stuffed it into Lu Weiting's pocket, saying, "Ten thousand taels of silver, is that enough?"
Lu Weiting asked in shock: "What?"
He had never earned so much money in his life, and he looked down at the banknote in his hand.
Oh my god! It really is the Heheng Chain Exchange Silver Note with a face value of 10,000 taels.
~~
Lu Ying misunderstood and thought it was not enough, so she took out another silver note of ten thousand taels and stuffed it into Lu Weiting's pocket, then asked with a smile: "Twenty thousand taels, is it enough?" Lu Weiting said hastily: "It's enough, it's enough, Ying'er, you have to live too, don't give dad so much money. Ten thousand taels of silver is enough for dad to live for the rest of his life."
Lu Jian was in the next room, and upon hearing the news, he rushed out and grabbed a banknote from his father's hand. He saw that the denomination was indeed 10,000 taels of silver. He then looked at his father's hand and saw that there was another banknote of 10,000 taels of silver. He put the banknote in his hand away and put it in his pocket. He had to divide the money in front of his sister.
Otherwise, if you divide it again when you get home, you may not be able to get so much.
~~
Lu Ying blushed and said, "Then I'll go find Shi Tianyu now, is that okay? I'm a member of the Shi family anyway."
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly and fiddled with her clothes.
~~
Lu Jian said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, go ahead and take good care of your brother-in-law. He is a good official who is dedicated to serving the people. Don't let him get too tired."
Hearing this, Lu Weiting really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He put away the banknotes and turned back to his room. Lu Jian said again: "Sister, your brother-in-law's wine and tea are all top quality. When you go back to your mother's house, see if you can get more good wine and tea."
~~
Lu Ying said "hmm", then lowered her head and ran away, ran to the backyard downstairs, led the horse out, jumped on the horse, and rode to the government office, asking the constable on duty that night, where is Shi's mansion? Is Mr. Shi at the mansion?
~~
The constable had met Lü Ying before and knew that she was a distinguished guest of Shi Tianyu, so he said more enthusiastically, "Miss, are you looking for Lord Shi? Lord Shi is very diligent and is handling official business in the inner hall! I will go in and report first, please wait a moment, Miss."
After saying that, he turned around and ran into the court, then walked through the court and came to the inner hall to report to Shi Tianyu that Miss Lu came to see you.
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Let Miss Lu wait outside for a while. I will review these documents first. Oh, thank you for your hard work. Go find Wang Chao, Liu Cong, Su Xing, Xu Huan and those scholars to come and discuss the matter."
After saying this, he continued to review official documents.
~~
The constable quickly responded to the order and left.
Shi Tianyu has not been in Fucheng for more than ten days. There are many official documents submitted by various counties. Tomorrow he has to make a private visit to each county to understand the situation. He has to review the documents as soon as possible.
After seeing the constable go out for a while, Shi Tianyu came out and saw that Lu Ying was still on horseback, so he smiled and said, "You go home and wait for me first. I still have to discuss matters with the officials and review official documents."
"Yeah!" Lu Ying nodded tenderly.
~~
Shi Tianyu looked around to see if there was anyone else around, then he raised his left middle finger, opened the system space, jumped on the horse again, sat behind Lu Ying, rode into the system space, came to locker No. 01, kissed Lu Ying again, then jumped off the horse and turned away. Two maids came out, and one of them led Lu Ying's horse to the stable.
Another maid took Lu Ying to the hall to sit and chat, and introduced and explained the living facilities here to Lu Ying.
~~
Shi Tianyu walked out of the system space, feeling a little embarrassed. He didn't know which beauty to accompany tonight? He was newly married to Yang Miaoyun, Shangguan Xiaoxi, and Lu Ying.
I married three people in two days. Tonight, I don’t know who to sleep with!
It's really difficult. They are all fresh and beautiful wives.
Eh!
~~
Shi Tianyu returned to the inner hall of the government office and reviewed official documents for a while, and then the officials arrived.
Because of his close relationship with Han Yufeng, Shi Tianyu still respected Liu Cong very much. When he saw Liu Cong coming, he clasped his hands and said, "Governor Liu, I asked you to come over after dinner to discuss matters. Thank you for your hard work."
~~
Liu Cong now admired Shi Tianyu more and more, and became more and more clever. He clasped his hands and said, "I have been working hard for the court and the people, and I never complain about the hard work!"
Shi Tianyu almost laughed out loud because of Liu Cong's teasing.
After a while, Wang Chao, Su Xing, Xu Huan and others arrived.
~~
Shi Tianyu led everyone to the inner hall and sat down. He first introduced the situation of requesting the 60,000 taels of silver from Chengdu, and then said: "Cheng Xiuzhu had an accident, and the tasks of 'one rectification, two arrests, and three repairs' are extremely heavy. I intend to recommend Liu Cong to serve as the magistrate of Yantai County. What do you think?"
Wang Chao learned his lesson this time and was the first to express his opinion, saying, "Okay, okay! Lord Shi has a keen eye for talent, and everything is up to you."
Liu Cong was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He choked up and said, "Thank you, Master Shi, for your support."
There are only these three chief officials in the Fucheng government office at present. Wang Chao has no objection. Liu Cong is the person involved, so how dare others say anything?
This kind of discussion is nothing more than a formality.
~~
Seeing that no one objected, Shi Tianyu said to Liu Cong, "Governor Liu, since you are concurrently serving as the magistrate of Yantai County, you should mainly stay in Yantai County, and the finances of the government office should be handed over to Lord Wang. Lord Wang will definitely be promoted to the position of co-magistrate of the government office. However, Cheng Xiuzhu's affair has been exposed, and we have also discovered that the Yantai County Office is seriously in deficit. How about this, you take 20,000 taels of silver to Yantai County to carry out official business. The remaining 40,000 taels of silver will be distributed to other counties. As for how to divide it specifically, it will be up to Lord Wang to see how each county performs its important tasks of "one rectification, two grasping, and three repairing."
~~
Wang Chao rushed to say, "Okay, okay, okay!"
I feel very happy.
~~
Liu Cong said, "Everything is up to Lord Shi."
Even when he was smiling, his teeth were showing.
He thought to himself that he was no longer the poor magistrate of Guxiang County in the past, but a magistrate with a sixth-rank title. Damn it, this time I have Shi Tianyu's support, so I will show off my power whether I am in the government office or going to the Salt Bureau.
Thinking of this, I immediately felt refreshed and as if I were twenty years younger.
~~
Su Xing looked at Liu Cong, his eyes full of envy. His ideals and ambitions of slapping Liu Cong back then were all shattered.
I cursed in my heart: Why is Shi Tianyu so nice to Liu Cong, a mediocre official? Is he attracted to Han Yufeng?
~~
Shi Tianyu added: "The county magistrates are old, but they are good at writing and have broad knowledge. This government wants them to come to the government office to specialize in the compilation and delivery of official newspapers, and at the same time promote them to the ninth rank. Anyway, I am the prefect, and the government office will definitely not be short of money. Let's make everyone happy! In addition, let's put those scholars and candidates we invited before to serve as magistrates in various counties. These scholars and candidates have a hard time. Give them a way out. Writing articles is very hard. This official's idea is to let everyone live a good life and have a salary. What do you think?"
Liu Cong quickly expressed his opinion and said, "I agree."
~~
More than twenty old scholars and juren were all moved to tears and said in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Shi!" They knelt down together and kowtowed to express their gratitude.
They were all old scholars and juren, and they all knelt down with tears in their eyes to express their gratitude. They finally had a way out in life and could finally eat the emperor's food.
~~
Wang Chao was somewhat unhappy. Arranging so many public servants at once not only violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but also required the government and county offices to advance the relevant expenses. With so many people to support at once, what would the county offices do in the future?
However, seeing these old scholars and old candidates so grateful to Shi Tianyu, and thinking that he would be promoted to Tongzhi with Shi Tianyu's help, he dared not say a word.
~~
Shi Tianyu stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, the official newspaper will be published every ten days, and all expenses will be paid by the government. No one needs to worry about money. No matter where I serve as an official, I am very good at raising money, so don't worry."
Then he helped them up one by one and further clarified their responsibilities.
~~
What is the official newspaper?
That's the thing.
Newspapers began to appear in the Tang Dynasty.
This is closely related to the development of the feudal system in the Tang Dynasty.
In order to let the emperor know about their achievements in local affairs, the Jiedushi at that time set up offices in Chang'an and edited official newspapers to reflect local and court government news.
It allows the imperial court to understand the Jiedushi, and also allows the Jiedushi to understand the imperial court.
The Ming Dynasty's official reports were an important means for people in the court and the public to obtain important information about state affairs.
In particular, the news about the appointment and dismissal of officials in the court bulletins was the most valued by people from both the government and the opposition.
~~
After discussing the personnel issues, Liu Cong clasped his hands and said, "Sir Shi, the budget for paving the streets of Fucheng and various counties, rebuilding drainage channels, and developing water conservancy projects requires 250,000 taels of silver. The 130,000 taels of silver confiscated from the government property and the 60,000 taels of silver that you requested from the Busi Mansion will also be distributed to the counties as discussed just now. So, the government treasury will be empty. The difference in the project plus the salaries of government officials this month and operating expenses will still leave a total of 70,000 taels of silver short." After that, he handed the account book to Wang Chao and asked him to sign.
~~
Shi Tianyu nodded, and brought up the matter of building a thousand-year-old temple in Sichuan, saying, "I will find a way to solve the money problem as soon as possible. According to relevant information, the governor of Jiangnan, Pan Ruzhen, has already built a thousand-year-old temple for the nine-thousand-year-old, and it is almost completed. I believe you have heard about it. Now let's discuss the matter of building a thousand-year-old temple for the nine-thousand-year-old in the court. Before I came back from Chengdu, I had already asked Lord Lu for permission to build two thousand-year-old temples in Sichuan first. If you have no objection, I will go and raise money now."
~~
After Wang Chao signed the document, he asked in surprise, "We are going to build two thousand-year-old temples in Fucheng? Really? That's great!"
I thought: If two thousand-year-old temples can really be built, it will be both Shi Tianyu’s political achievement and Wang’s political achievement!
By then, won’t his biological father recommend Wang to become a provincial governor?
