Obtain the divine power at the beginning
Chapter 485 Qingfan Chasing Dreams
Dai Kun returned to the Dai Mansion and asked the old butler Dai Yue to disguise himself and go to the headquarters of the Salt Gang. Through the Sichuan Salt Gang, he used his serious illness as an excuse to scare Dai Ruyi and brought Dai Ruyi and Lu Chusheng back to Chengdu from Yunnan.
Then, Dai Kun rushed to Lu's mansion and discussed with Lu Yuan to hold a wedding for Lu Chusheng and Dai Ruyi on the day before the Spring Festival. On this day, officials from all over the country were free, and if Lu Chusheng and Dai Ruyi held a wedding on this day, they would definitely make a lot of money.
~~
Hearing this, Lu Yuan was really angry and cursed: "Dai Kun, who are you? Do you only care about money? You and I are old, what do we need so much money for? Why is there such a big gap between you and Shi Tianyu? Lord Shi is dedicated to serving the people and is honest in his official duties. What a good image! What about you? Do you become an official just to make money? Why don't you go into business? It's a waste for you to come to the officialdom. If the servants hear these nonsense you said, what will they think? If these words spread out, how can you and I save our dignity? Well, you set a date, and get out of here quickly. Don't talk nonsense in my house anymore and corrupt the servants. Get out!"
I really don't want to become a relative with such an uncultured person like Dai Kun, but I have no choice. After all, my son likes his daughter, so I agreed. Although Dai Kun was scolded, he smiled and was still very happy.
~~
Dai Ruyi was very distressed, but found that he no longer had freedom and was being watched closely by the people sent by Dai Kun and Lu Chusheng.
Now, Dai Kun is the chief of the Salt Transport Commissioner. He has power, money and connections.
The disciples of the Sichuan Salt Gang are ready to take Dai Kun's orders at any time.
Han Fenghuang also personally accompanied Dai Ruyi, even when she slept with her, and even when she went to the toilet, she followed Dai Ruyi.
~~
In Lu's mansion.
Lu Yuan also received a report from Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing who rushed back from Fucheng, saying that Shi Tianyu was fine and temporarily living in the Yao Mansion. The Yao family hired many bodyguards to guard the mansion and protected Shi Tianyu very well.
However, if a high-level martial artist comes to attack, these bodyguards will not be able to stop killing. It mainly depends on how many high-level martial artists Shi Tianyu can deal with.
Lu Yuan immediately relaxed physically and mentally, and smiled with relief: "Isn't this good? With so many bodyguards protecting the courtyard, at least they can warn us when something happens. With Shi Tianyu's martial arts, at least escaping is not a problem. Well, what do you think of the situation of the one righteous, two arrests and three repairs in Fucheng? How is the construction of the two thousand-year-old temples?"
~~
Tian Lufeng knew that what Lu Yuan was most concerned about was the construction of the two Qiansui Temples in Fucheng, so he bowed and reported, saying, "My Lord Lu, everything is very good in Fucheng now! Shi Tianyu's prestige is very high now, and the families of the constables who died in the Bao Road have all received double relief from the Fucheng government and Mr. Yao. Now, no one dares to cause trouble in the Fucheng area.
Shi Tianyu killed more than 14,000 Beggars' Sect disciples and more than 30,000 remnants of the Mahayana Sect. This incident caused a sensation in the government and the public. Everyone was talking about it and praising Shi Tianyu for his iron-fisted governance of Fucheng and his iron-fisted management of public security, allowing the people of Fucheng to live and work in peace. Now, there is no bandit in the jurisdiction of Fucheng. It can be said that it has reached the state where no one can lock their doors or pick up things on the road. "
~~
Lu Yuan nodded and smiled, "Very good! Captain Tian, go back and have a rest. You two must keep an eye on Fucheng at all times. If there is any important situation, you must report it to our office as quickly as possible, especially Shi Tianyu's safety."
"Yes!" Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing hurriedly bowed and took their leave.
~~
However, just as Lu Yuan's mood was getting better, it suddenly became bad again.
Lu Chusheng encountered something terrible at Dianchi Lake, and all his followers were killed by the remnants of the Mahayana sect. Naturally, Lu Chusheng did not dare to report this to Lu Yuan.
However, when Zou Hanzhen asked why Lu Chusheng's followers disappeared, Lu Chusheng told his mother what happened in Dianchi Lake.
~~
Zou Hanzhen was so scared that she screamed repeatedly: "Oh, my old father. Sheng'er, please go and burn incense for your grandpa quickly. Please, please, grandpa, please protect you in heaven."
Then, he hurried to Lu Yuan's huge study, told Lu Yuan about the situation, and asked Lu Yuan how to deal with the matter. Anyone in the underworld dared to mess with the Lu family, so they must be taught a lesson.
Otherwise, there will definitely be more and more inexplicable gang feuds.
~~
Lu Yuan slammed the table angrily and cursed: "Kang Fusheng and Xiang Yushan died for the best! Damn it, are these remnants of the Mahayana sect still human? Come at me if you have the guts. How dare they do this to my son? They just want to hold my son hostage to threaten me. How despicable! Humph! I have said long ago that Dai Ruyi and my son are not compatible in terms of birth date and horoscope. Even if Dai Ruyi is my son's concubine, she will still bring bad luck to my husband. Now, don't you believe it?
Go, send someone to tell Dai Kun, tell him clearly that the Lu family wants to cancel the engagement. There are so many beauties in the world, is my son Sheng afraid that he can't get a wife? Also tell Sheng'er that it would be best if he could marry Wei Xueyan, Sheng'er is not inferior to Pan Youwei, the son of Pan Ruzhen, in terms of appearance, literary talent and martial arts. Even if he can't marry Wei Xueyan, it would be fine to marry Juping, the little girl next to Wei Xueyan. How can Sheng'er not understand such a superficial truth? You spoiled him all."
~~
Zou Hanzhen felt that what Lu Yuan said made sense, but she rolled her eyes at Lu Yuan and cursed, "You men are so filthy, always thinking of using our women's family background to help you get promoted. Humph! You are such a piece of shit!"
Having said that, he set off immediately, took a sedan chair, and went straight to Dai Mansion to convey Lu Yuan's intention to Han Fenghuang.
After returning to Lu's house, he told Lu Chusheng about the situation.
~~
Lü Chusheng lost his temper, cried and made a scene, vowed not to marry Dai Ruyi, and threatened Zou Hanzhen with death if she was not allowed to marry Dai Ruyi. Even Zou Hanzhen's earnest persuasion was useless. This made Zou Hanzhen anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and she quickly ran to Lü Yuan's huge study and told him what had happened.
~~
Lu Yuan sneered and said, "Can't I cure my son? Humph!"
He shouted again: "Come here, tell Lü Tongtian, Lü Ming, and Lü Xiang to arrest Lü Chusheng immediately and take him to the Jinyiwei Office in Kyoto and hand him over to Princess Changxiang and Jinyiwei Commander Wei Xueyan for custody.
I will tell Princess Changxiang that my son is naughty and needs to be disciplined, and I hope that Princess Changxiang will keep him in the Jinyiwei Office and that I hope that Lü Chusheng can enter the palace as a guard. I will also tell Princess Changxiang that the two ancestral temples in Sichuan will be completed soon.
The princess understands.
As long as Lü starts to move, the speed of building the ancestral temple will be popularized throughout the Ming Dynasty. Lü Chusheng is my eldest son, and I hope Princess Changxiang will give Lü Chusheng a good future. "
~~
"Yes!" After the butler came in, he bowed and left in response to the order.
After the housekeeper left, Zou Hanzhen said anxiously, "What if Sheng'er commits suicide on the way? He is really trapped in love now. Sheng'er was the person his grandfather loved the most when he was alive." She had no choice but to bring up her father, Zou Baijia, to pressure Lu Yuan.
~~
Lu Yuan smiled and said, "No. No one knows a son better than his father! My son grew up in such a wealthy family, he cherishes his life much more than I do. Moreover, Lu Tongtian has been sneaking around, I suspect Lu Tongtian is a suspect.
Otherwise, who would have known that Sheng'er accompanied Dai Ruyi to Dianchi Lake?
Why did Shi Tianyu appear in Dianchi Lake to rescue Sheng'er and Dai Ruyi? Don't you think there is something unclear between Shi Tianyu and Dai Ruyi? This time, I have to do three things at once. I have to discipline my son well, take this opportunity to find out the suspicion of Lu Tongtian, and find out the matter between Shi Tianyu and Dai Ruyi. "
After that, he shouted again: "Come here, call Tian Lufeng and Yuan Weiqing, let them lead some detectives, disguise themselves, follow Sheng'er to Kyoto, monitor who Lu Tongtian will contact along the way, and look for opportunities to arrest Lu Tongtian."
"Yes!" A trusted guard hurried in, bowed and took the order and left.
~~
Zou Hanzhen sighed and said, "Hey! Shi Tianyu, Shi Zhifu, Mr. Shi, I admire him very much, but I also doubt him. Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, I'm going to go back to sleep."
After saying that, she got up and left, returning to her east wing to rest.
~~
At this time, Dai Kun brought Han Fenghuang, whose eyes were swollen from crying, to Lu Yuan's study.
Seeing this, Zou Hanzhen, who was not far away, came back quietly, but did not enter Lu Yuan's study. Instead, he came to the window of Lu Yuan's study to eavesdrop on the conversation in the study. Dai Kun bravely asked Lu Yuan why he wanted to cancel the engagement? The news of the Lu and Dai families becoming relatives had already spread. Now, the Lu family canceled the engagement. How could the Dai family save face?
~~
Lü Yuan sneered and said, "Brother Dai, I've been good to you, haven't I? If it weren't for my help, would you have been able to become the Salt Transport Commissioner and occupy this lucrative position? Don't you know how comfortable your life is now?
Well, since you are asking me why I want to cancel the engagement, you and I are both men, and we are both experienced people, so tell me why you claim to be sick and want to resign from the post of Fucheng prefect, and why you recommend Shi Tianyu to serve as Fucheng prefect concurrently? Explain this matter to me clearly, don't think that I am blind. "
Dai Kun was suddenly choked with anger and became speechless, his old face turning as red as liver.
~~
Han Fenghuangyi lost all expression and immediately started to throw a tantrum, crying and scolding Dai Kun, "You old fool, I said at the beginning that I would marry Yi'er to Shi Tianyu. Shi Tianyu is so good! He has a promising future, money, and talent, but you insisted on putting your face in a cold butt. Now, how can you let the Dai family save face?
If someone cancels the engagement, in a few days, the whole city will know about it, and everyone will think that no one wants me anymore. How can I save my dignity? Will I dare to go out in the future?"
Dai Kun's face flushed, he was speechless, very embarrassed, and regretted bringing Han Fenghuang to Lu's house. He secretly sighed that how could a woman in the world hide her thoughts? Oh! I killed Han Fenghuang and her daughter.
~~
Lu Yuan slammed the table with his hand and said angrily: "Alright, Han Fenghuang, if you want to make a scene, go back to your house and don't do it here. It's not decent for you to yell like this, get out!"
Since he had the relationship and background with Wei Zhongxian, Lu Yuan also became tough. He yelled at everyone and didn't give face to anyone. He no longer had the false kindness as before.
Even when meeting the Chief Justice Sima Zhifu and the Commander-in-Chief Gao Yingqiang, he often scolded them and rarely spoke to them in a friendly manner.
~~
Han Fenghuang was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she reached out to hold on to the wall with trembling hands. Dai Kun bowed to Lu Yuan and said in a trembling voice: "Even if I sell my daughter to a brothel, I will not let her marry that bastard Shi Tianyu. Humph!"
Lu Yuan waved his hands and cursed, "Dai Kun, what's the point of you fighting with me? If you have the guts, go and reason with Shi Tianyu! Are you a disciple of the Beggars' Sect? Are you a remnant of the Mahayana Sect? Are you stubborn? You are so unreasonable at your age! If you cause trouble for me again, you will retire and return home. Get lost!"
~~
Dai Kun turned away embarrassedly, and as he walked out of Lu Yuan's study, he suddenly vomited blood and collapsed to the ground.
Lu Yuan hurriedly shouted, "Come here, help Master Dai back to the Dai Mansion, and ask the doctor to diagnose Master Dai's condition."
He was very annoyed. Now was the time when his career was flourishing, but Dai Kun came to Lu's house to vomit blood. Wouldn't this bring bad luck to my career? Therefore, even if he wanted to ask a doctor to treat Dai Kun's injury, he had to let Dai Kun go back to Dai's house first.
A group of guards from the Lu Mansion ran over, picked up Dai Kun and left.
Dai Kun seemed to have just realized that there were no true friends in the officialdom, and he fainted in anger. Moreover, he was so angry this time that he coughed up blood every day. Whenever he thought about the marriage between the Lu and Dai families, Dai Kun would cough up blood in anger.
~~
Fucheng.
During the day, Shi Tianyu led Zhang Hui, Helan Minyue, Yao Chaohai, the Dai brothers and others to conscientiously perform official duties and go to various counties to supervise the important tasks of "one rectification, two grasping and three repairing".
At night, Shi Tianyu would naturally return to the system space to be happy with his wives and concubines.
However, the daytime is busy from morning till night.
Yao Chaohai, who followed Shi Tianyu, felt a little overwhelmed and had some complaints.
That day, sitting in the hall of Yao's house, drinking tea with Shi Tianyu for a while, he turned his head and said to Shi Tianyu: "Brother-in-law, Fucheng's affairs are not your ancestral business. Which prefect would do it as risking his life as you do? Hey, didn't you say that Yao should be sent to a certain county to be the chief clerk?"
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Shi has offended the Money Gang, which has a background in the imperial court. Brother Yao has already found out that after the run on the Heheng Chain Bank, the imperial court dispatched troops from all directions to maintain order at the Heheng Chain Bank. If something like this happened in the Yao Mansion, would the imperial court do this? Before, I also said that if you want to be the chief clerk of a county, you have to donate money!
Since the beginning of written records, every court has followed this rule, don't you understand? Moreover, donating money to buy an official position can only be an unpopular position. Now, the position I have assigned to you is the chief clerk of a county, one of the three chief officials of a county. You have to bring the money, and this money has to be deposited into the public account of a certain county, and it needs the signatures of many officials to prove it. "
~~
Yao Chaohai said dissatisfiedly: "Are you really going to take money? My sister is so beautiful, am I going to give her to you for free? Can't you pay for it yourself? Otherwise, you give me the money and I will donate it to the government office." After saying that, he really stretched out his hand and asked Shi Tianyu for money.
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "You have to pay for this yourself. You have to donate this money yourself. This is to accumulate merits and blessings for yourself. Just like when we go to a temple to worship Buddha and burn incense, you have to pay for the incense yourself and can't let others pay for it. Besides, I have always been honest, where would I get the money? I have always been penniless and I am worried about the world."
~~
Yao Chaohai felt that Shi Tianyu's words made sense, so he said distressedly: "But our Yao family doesn't have any cash now! We have to give subsidies to those laborers to build the road for you, and last time we had a fight with the remnants of the Mahayana sect, we have to give you a pension. Our Yao family has thrown away hundreds of thousands of taels of silver casually. Where can we get the money now? You asked me to buy you a house last time, but I didn't buy it for you because I didn't have money."
~~
Shi Tianyu asked in astonishment, "No way? Your Yao family is the richest in Sichuan, how could you not come up with a few hundred thousand taels of silver? You can cheat others, but is it justifiable to cheat me like this? Do I look like a fool? In the prefectures, counties and districts of the Ming Dynasty, which prefecture, county and district are as prosperous as the one under my jurisdiction?"
~~
Yao Chaohai said angrily, "No! Our family's money was transferred to Ling'er. She withdrew all the cash and I don't know where she hid it. My father said that he would leave the fields in Guxiang County and Yantai County and our family's barge industry to me, and asked me not to fight with my sister for the cash. So, Yao has no cash!"
Shi Tianyu was startled and asked curiously, "Ling'er is a girl, why does she need so much cash? Besides, she will get married eventually. Is she bringing so much money as a dowry? Is she going to marry me? Or someone else?"
~~
Yao Chaohai shook his head and said, "I don't know either. Dad has already picked an auspicious date for you and Ling'er. But Ling'er usually spends a lot of money. She always has a bunch of friends around her. Moreover, last time Kang Fusheng, Xiang Yushan and Xie Zhichuan, three great martial artists, led 20,000 evil followers to cause trouble in the Donkey King Mountain area, it was Ling'er's friends who stepped forward to repel Xie Zhichuan and the other martial artists. Otherwise, our Yao family would be a pile of bones now."
~~
Buzz!
Shi Tianyu's head suddenly buzzed and his ears rang. He felt that something was wrong, so he asked in a trembling voice, "At that time, how many of you beat up Kang Sheng, Xiang Yushan, and Xie Zhichuan?"
Something felt more and more wrong. Tang Meiling was just a little girl. How could there be so many highly skilled martial artists helping her?
Is it purely for the Yao family's money? That's not right!
Oh, that's also possible. Didn't the remnants of the Mahayana sect spend money to bribe many people with high martial arts skills to work for them?
I shouldn't have doubted Tang Meiling. She was so good to me and was determined to marry me. How could I doubt her?
With her stubborn personality, it makes sense for her to fight for a share of the family property.
Otherwise, the Yao family's money would be squandered by Yao Chaohai, the playboy.
~~
Yao Chaohai said: "It was five against three. Those people may have received a lot of money from my sister. They usually acted as sedan bearers for my sister. Peng Jinshi was also very familiar with them."
Buzz!
When Shi Tianyu heard this, he suddenly felt a buzzing in his head and tinnitus again.
Just now he was thinking that he shouldn't doubt Tang Meiling, but Yao Chaohai's words made Shi Tianyu have to doubt Tang Meiling.
Even if they were paid to be high-ranking warriors, they couldn't possibly be bearers for Tang Meiling, right? Besides, they were high-ranking warriors, would they be so cheap? Was it for Tang Meiling's beauty?
~~
Yao Chaohai said again: "Brother-in-law, give me money! You have to let me bring honor to our family. I can't stay in our family anymore. I don't know how to make a living. I usually rely on my father to give me money. Now my father has no cash, and there is a run on the Heheng Chain Bank. I have no money! You have to let me become an official as soon as possible! My sister is so beautiful, and I just give her to you to enjoy. She will give birth to children for you in the future. How much you are taking advantage of our Yao family! You should have a conscience."
Since he is a playboy, he is naturally not afraid of Shi Tianyu being an official. He speaks without restraint and says whatever he wants. He is even more Dai Kun than Dai Kun.
~~
Shi Tianyu came back to his senses and said, "I am really honest. I will donate money to you to buy an official position. Oh, by the way, go to Guxiang County now and find Zhuo Yue. I will ask him to donate the money for you."
Yao Chaohai then laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, look at you, you are so fake. You still say you are honest, I have been wondering for a long time, you have done so many projects for the Zhuo family, won't the Zhuo family repay you? Won't they give you some money? You are honest, what the hell! You eat and drink well all day long, spend money like water, and you are still honest. Where do you get so much money? How much is your salary? You pretend to be honest in front of me, your brother. Humph! You can deceive those common people, but don't pretend in front of me! I have seen everything in the world?"
~~
Shi Tianyu really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he also argued with reason, saying: "Your father also took away my big project, did he ever give me a penny?"
Yao Chaohai was a dandy boy who didn't know how to control his words, so he smiled and said, "That's because of my beautiful sister. Otherwise, would you give my father so many fields as a reward? You are just like me, going out with Meimei all day long. How good can you be?"
Shi Tianyu was really pissed off by Yao Chaohai. His handsome face flushed red, and he said angrily, "In the future, stop talking nonsense and don't affect my image. Otherwise, I'll beat you up."
Yao Chaohai hurriedly put on a smile, bowed and said, "My brother-in-law is teaching me that if you give me an official position, I will shut up."
Shi Tianyu was so angry that he laughed, stood up and left, leading the crowd straight to Guxiang County.
After arriving at Guxiang County, they walked around for a while and then sat down in the Guxiang County Yamen Hall.
County Magistrate Ling Feng, County Deputy Zhu Xiang, and County Chief Clerk Song Ziqing hurried over to accompany them.
Shi Tianyu ordered someone to find Zhuo Yue, and then he started chatting with Ling Feng, Zhu Xiang and Song Ziqing.
After a while, Zhuo Yue came riding over, sweating all over.
~~
Shi Tianyu stood up and took Zhuo Yue to the outside of the county government court. He whispered to Zhuo Yue to donate 300,000 taels of silver to Yao Chaohai so that he could get an official position.
Zhuo Yue said awkwardly, "Master Shi, most of our money is in the Heheng Chain Bank. Now, there is a run on the Heheng Chain Bank, and we can't withdraw our money! Now, does Guxiang County dare to accept the banknotes of the Heheng Chain Bank? Are the banknotes of the Heheng Chain Bank still useful? Zhuo has some banknotes on him, but who wants them now? Oh, it's a dilemma!"
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhuoyue. You still have to have confidence in Heheng Chain Bank. The imperial court has mobilized troops from all over the country to maintain order for Heheng Chain Bank! They will not let Heheng Chain Bank fall.
This is a century-old store. It was not founded by Shangguan Shu, but by his grandfather’s grandfather. It will not be ruined in his hands.
His Majesty also knew how much money officials and businessmen from all over the country had deposited in the Heheng Chain Bank. This was also the last confidence of the Ming Dynasty! Moreover, the largest shopkeeper of the Heheng Chain Bank, the Jinqian Gang, was a gang that had been around for thousands of years. How much money had the Shangguan family buried in the deep mountains and old forests over the past thousand years? Do you know?
Just calculate an integer and count how much money has been hidden in deposits over the past thousand years.
Shangguan Shu didn't dare to take out so much money at once, fearing that others would be jealous, so he took out money little by little to supplement the shortfall in the Heheng Chain Bank. He was capable of getting through this difficult time.
Therefore, you must have confidence in the Heheng Chain Bank. Your Zhuo family’s wealth will not be reduced by a penny.
This was the only major incident that occurred in the Money Gang over the past thousand years. There had never been such a major incident before where a branch manager absconded with the money.
This incident must be related to the remnants of the Mahayana sect stirring up trouble.
Therefore, if the Money Gang wants to continue their business, they will definitely have to take out money to cover their current losses.
Otherwise, not only would the Heheng Chain Bank collapse, but the Money Gang would also collapse. Shangguan Shu must have made a promise in front of His Majesty, so the court would dispatch troops from all directions to the Money Gang to maintain order for them.
Have you figured it out? Have I made it clear enough?
Now, let's talk business. I have given you so many projects to do, you will definitely make a lot of money. With your father's status in the business world, even if your Zhuo family cannot get cash now, you can still borrow 300,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, these three hundred thousand taels of silver are just deposited into the account of Guxiang County Government. If you build a 9,000-year-old ancestral temple, won’t the money go back into your pocket?
In this way, Guxiang County Magistrate Ling Feng was also happy and excited. He was the adopted son of Jiu Qiansui. How could Ling Feng not be happy to help Jiu Qiansui? How could he not be good to you? Zhuoyue, you are a businessman. You should understand that if there is money, everyone should make it together! Those who take everything for themselves are not far from death.
This is true for being an official, and it is also true for doing business. Moreover, next year, I will build countless stone arch bridges in Fucheng, large stone arch bridges that cannot be washed away even by floods, and you can make a lot of money. Brother Zhuo, you have to have a long-term vision. "
~~
Zhuo Yue heard this and bowed his head repeatedly to accept Shi Tianyu's teachings. He nodded repeatedly, feeling that Shi Tianyu's words made sense, and said, "Okay, Master Shi, I will go and raise some cash right away. Hey, I won't keep my money in the Hehenglian Bank anymore. It's really killing me! I can't even withdraw some cash when I need it urgently. Okay, Master Shi, wait a moment. I will definitely do this for you."
He turned around, mounted his horse, and rode away.
~~
When Shi Tianyu returned to the inner hall, he told Ling Feng that he wanted to build a Jiu Qian Sui ancestral temple in Guxiang County so that his mentor could pay tribute to him.
In the future, the Ninth Prince will surely reward the meritorious officers for this matter, and my mentor, County Magistrate Zhu, and Chief Clerk Song will all be promoted step by step.
~~
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng, Zhu Xiang and Song Ziqing were all extremely excited, with tears in their eyes. They quickly stood up and bowed to Shi Tianyu to express their gratitude.
In the officialdom, who doesn’t want to be promoted?
Who doesn’t want a successful career?
~~
However, Shi Tianyu changed the subject and said that the funds for building the ancestral temple in Guxiang County came from the donation of Master Yao Chaohai, so the government decided to let Master Yao serve as the chief clerk of Guxiang County, temporarily with an empty title, and then find a way to give Master Yao a position in the future. Although Yao Chaohai was a playboy, he was the son of the richest man in Sichuan after all, and he was well-informed. Hearing this, he could not help but admire Shi Tianyu.
~~
Yao Chaohai thought to himself: Shi Tianyu is not only an iron-fisted official, but also extremely intelligent! Just now, even Yao had mistakenly thought that Shi Tianyu was really thinking about Ling Feng, the old man. Now it seems that he is thinking about Yao completely, haha! This thief is really good. No wonder no one in the martial arts world can beat this kid.
No wonder my sister, the most beautiful woman in Sichuan, insisted on marrying this guy.
Well, my sister has good taste.
~~
Ling Feng then realized that he had been fooled, and secretly cursed Shi Tianyu for being cunning and a good-for-nothing.
However, thinking that building a shrine to commemorate Wei Zhongxian in Guxiang County would surely help him to rise in career as the county magistrate, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Zhu Xiang only hoped that by following Shi Tianyu, he could become a county magistrate before retiring and returning home, so he obeyed Shi Tianyu's orders.
~~
Although Song Ziqing was puzzled, he did not dare to say anything.
He also knew in his heart that Shi Tianyu was definitely working hard to marry Tang Meiling, so it wasn't wrong to be nice to his relatives.
After all, Tang Meiling is the daughter of the richest man in Sichuan. Her graceful figure of just 1.75 meters is enough to drive men all over the world crazy, not to mention that she is the daughter of a wealthy man.
Think about it, how could Shi Tianyu not work hard?
After Song Ziqing thought about it, he finally understood.
I thought to myself: Anyway, I was promoted by Lord Shi, so I cannot be ungrateful. As long as Lord Shi does not harm the interests of the people, I will support all of Lord Shi's decisions.
~~
Shi Tianyu also asked Ling Feng to divide the 300,000 taels of silver donated by Zhuo Yue into two parts, taking out 150,000 taels of silver for Zhuo Yue to build a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, and the other 150,000 taels of silver to recruit constables, establish a shrine guard team, and protect the shrine.
So, the matter went through smoothly and everyone was happy.
Shi Tianyu, Zhang Hui, Helan Minyue, the Dai brothers and others took a carriage back to Fucheng. The news that another ancestral temple of Wei Zhongxian had been built in Fucheng spread, and the government and the public were shocked, and everyone's heads were buzzing.
~~
Anzi County Magistrate Bai Youlong, Pingting County Magistrate Lu Baochuan, and Jiangchuan County Magistrate Fang Shizhong hurried to Fucheng to find Shi Tianyu, and requested that a shrine to Wei Zhongxian be built in their respective counties to show their loyalty to the court.
They also stuffed silver bills into Shi Tianyu's hands.
~~
Shi Tianyu smiled and said, "I have always been honest and never accept gifts."
Pushed the banknote back.
Helplessly, Bai Youlong, Lu Baochuan, Fang Shizhong and others had to each take out three gold bricks to give to Shi Tianyu.
For the time being, the banknotes of Heheng Chain Bank are indeed like waste paper for wiping buttocks, and everyone knows it.
~~
Shi Tianyu accepted the nine gold bricks with a smile, and told the county magistrates Bai Youlong, Lu Baochuan, Fang Shizhong and others that the construction of ancestral temples in Anzi, Pingting and Jiangchuan was something that the Fucheng government was unable to undertake with its existing financial resources.
However, in view of the loyalty and piety of the three county officials to the Nine Thousand Years Old, the government decided to build a shrine for the Nine Thousand Years Old in these three counties after the New Year. In this way, when the taxes collected in the first quarter of the next year are collected, they will be used to build the shrine for the Nine Thousand Years Old in these three counties. In this way, the three county magistrates came excitedly and returned happily, all of them were very happy.
~~
Shi Tianyu then threw a gold brick to Dai Yuguang and Dai Yutian respectively, asking them to buy two large houses, hire some maids, servants and bodyguards to guard the house, live a good life, bring their parents back in the future, marry wives as soon as possible, and continue the Dai family's bloodline.
The Dai brothers took the gold bricks and walked away with their teeth showing and their eyes wide open.
Shi Tianyu then raised the middle finger of his left hand, opened the system space, led Zhang Hui and Helan Minyue back to the "fairyland", and gave the seven gold bricks he was riding on to seven beautiful concubines including Xiangxiang, Yiyi, and Fanfan.
In this way, the family is harmonious, and the government and county governments are in harmony. What can't be accomplished?
~~
The territory of Fucheng was once again bustling with activity.
The eyes of the world were all focused on Shi Tianyu.
Even if Wan Yuankang hired many high-level martial artists, it would not be convenient for him to plot against Shi Tianyu at this time. Shi Tianyu is not only a good official, but also loyal to the court and Jiu Qiansui. Who dares to plot against Shi Tianyu? Moreover, with Shi Tianyu's martial arts, he can't hit the target with one strike.
Shangguan Shu was in no mood to bother Shi Tianyu as he had to deal with a fire in the backyard. Both father and daughter were extremely busy now. Every day they transported the silver hidden in the mountains and forests at home to the branches of He Heng Chain Bank in various places to replenish the cash for the branches. They really didn't want to let a century-old store like He Heng Chain Bank be destroyed in their hands.
~~
Chengdu.
Lu Mansion.
Lü Yuan received the official document from Fucheng Prefecture, read it quickly, and then excitedly wrote a comment: Shi Tianyu, the prefect of Fucheng, is both civil and military, extremely intelligent, and wholeheartedly serves the people. With the power of one prefecture, he built three thousand-year-old temples, which reflects his loyalty to the court, but does not increase the burden on the people or harm their livelihood. He is truly a genius in managing the world. After consultation with the three departments in Sichuan, it is agreed to recommend the promotion of Shi Tianyu. It is agreed that the Fucheng Prefecture recommends Yao Chaohai as the chief clerk of Guxiang County, and the Ministry of Personnel is requested to agree as appropriate. Lü Yuan.
After Lü Yuan added his comments on the document, he sent it to the Chief Justice Sima Zhifu and the Commander-in-Chief Gao Yingqiang for their comments, and then sent it to the Ministry of Personnel in the capital.
~~
Now, Lu Yuan belongs to Wei Yan's gang.
Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang were both Donglin people.
The conflict between the two factions has become irreconcilable.
However, unfortunately, Shi Tianyu's official documents were often submitted to the Bushi Mansion first. Lu Yuan added such comments, which forced Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang to agree.
It's not good to oppose openly, it will lead to a fallout.
However, I couldn't oppose it secretly.
Oh, that's painful.
~~
However, the one who suffered the most was Dai Kun, not Ma Zhifu and Gao Yingqiang.
Upon hearing the news that a thousand-year-old temple was being built in Fucheng, Dai Kun became so angry that he coughed up blood.
How come Guxiang County became prosperous after Shi Tianyu became the county magistrate?
How come when Shi Tianyu became the prefect of Fucheng, Fucheng was able to build three thousand-year-old temples and raise enough money to complete the important tasks of "one rectification, two grasping and three repairing"? Oh my God! How can Dai save his face because of this bastard surnamed Shi?
~~
Xiang Laixiang was also very painful and helpless, and like a filial son, she served Dai Kun's bedside day and night.
Han Fenghuang took advantage of Dai Kun's illness and was busy making money all day long.
Dai Kun was ill, and all the official staff of such a wealthy government office as the Salt Transport Commissioner had to come to visit Dai Kun. They all had to bring cash with them, and they all had to put the cash in exquisite and elegant small wooden boxes and send them to Dai's house.
Han Fenghuang counted money until her hands were tired, and she was cheerful all day long. She looked younger and plumper, like a beautiful young woman. Occasionally, she would go shopping with Dai Ruyi, and it was difficult for people to tell that they were mother and daughter. From a distance, they really looked like sisters.
~~
The Sichuan Salt Gang naturally had to show respect to Dai Kun.
The leader of the Salt Gang, Li Yujin, led his troops to visit Dai Kun. He actually brought a carriage loaded with gold ingots. He was so generous that Xiang Laixiang was extremely envious.
Han Fenghuang was also full of emotion, and sighed that if she had known this, she should have given the position of Fucheng prefect to Shi Tianyu long ago, or the position of the Salt Transport Commissioner would be better! Dai Lao Chai got sick, and our Dai family actually received so much money.
Cool! It's best to wear Lao Chaigu for long-term bedridden illness.
~~
Then, Han Fenghuang said to Dai Ruyi, "My dear daughter, quickly send Dai Yue to disguise himself and go to Fucheng to ask Shi Tianyu to come to Chengdu and ask for marriage from our family. If you do this, the combined wealth of the Shi and Dai families will be enormous. By then, it will be possible for your father to become a banker."
Dai Ruyi was immediately overjoyed and left with a sweet smile on her face.
It doesn’t matter whether my father can become an official or not. The most important thing is that I can marry Shi Tianyu.
I love Shi Tianyu so much.
~~
When Dai Kun heard Han Fenghuang sighing like that, he became so angry that he coughed up blood and fainted.
