Three questions?

Ximenqing was a little bit ridiculous, but he didn't mention that this 15-year-old boy asked himself three questions in an old-fashioned way.

What does that mean?Entry interview or psychological investigation?

Ximen Qing clasped his hands and said, "Sir, please tell me."

At the same time, Ximen Qing secretly took a look at Qian Gui, and sure enough, he couldn't find any answer from the old fox's face.

What did this old fox chat with King Jia Zhao Kai just now?Could it be Lin Lingsu's matter that brought him here to talk in such a hurry?

While Ximen Qing was thinking hard about possible questions and answers, Zhao Kai smiled and said, "This matter has nothing to do with money, it's just that the king wants to chat with you, Commander Ximen Qing, don't be nervous."

"Nervous your sister!" Ximen Qing showed a big middle finger in his heart. This boy is only 15 years old, so he is so mature?

Brother is 26 this year, you still need your 15-year-old brat to comfort you, don't be nervous?

But face still has to be given, Ximen Qing exhaled lightly, pretending to be at ease: "Thank you, sir!"

Zhao Kai nodded slightly, and asked, "I heard that you are a businessman?"

"Before I stepped down from office, I was indeed a businessman." Ximen Qing didn't expect Zhao Kai to ask this suddenly. There is indeed an edict in this dynasty that officials are not allowed to do business, but for Ximen Qing, who was originally a businessman, he had to give up doing business. .

Regarding this point, Ximenqing naturally had a countermeasure for a long time ago. It is enough to arrange all kinds of business to the people around him, and he just needs to be the boss behind him if he is happy. Many officials actually do this.

But Zhao Kai brought up this matter at this time, what is his intention?

"Then you mean that you have given up your identity as a businessman now?" Zhao Kai smiled: "Why did I hear that Qian Modang said that you just bought a five-room, three-story restaurant on the street of East Cross Street?"

Ximen Qing took a quick glance at Qian Gui who was squinting beside him. The old fox seemed to be falling asleep!

Sure enough, the big and small things that happened in Bianliang cannot escape the eyes and ears of the Imperial City Secretary!

Ximen Qing also raised a smile and replied: "Your Excellency, it is clear that the restaurant is owned by a friend of Xiaguan, and it has nothing to do with Xiaguan."

"Smart people don't speak in secret." Qian Gui, the old fox, coughed suddenly: "Commander Ximen, everyone will play this kind of fake trick twice. The owner behind the restaurant must be you, there is no doubt about it."

To pull out this kind of thing right now, do you want Brother Hei to help?

Ximen Qing scolded the old fox several times in his heart, and then replied: "The lower officials are terrified."

"If the Imperial City Division is in the hands of the king, it is natural to make some achievements to show the officials." Zhao Kai said with a smile: "But money is inseparable from everything. Of course, the annual funds of the Imperial City Division are stretched. Commander Ximen, you You must share your worries for this king."

Ximen Qing looked at the 15-year-old boy and didn't know where to start. Did this guy have no good intentions from the beginning?I'm afraid that by promoting myself and Wu Song to be the chief and deputy commanders, I have long thought of slaughtering them as fat sheep?

"The funds are not enough, the right way is to increase revenue and reduce expenditure." Ximen Qing coughed, cheekily pretending that he didn't understand: "Although the power of the lower officials is meager, they should also do their best."

"What a way to increase income and reduce expenditure." Jiawang Zhao Kai smiled and said, "Since Commander Ximen has such a heart for money, you can tell me."

Qian Gui pondered for a while under Ximen Qing's attention, and then he said loudly: "Then how about handing in five thousand guan every year as funds?"

You old fox, why don't you grab it?

Ximen Qing thought angrily, but he didn't know that Qian Gui had really robbed him in private.

Zhuzhi County of Qinghe County sent Wu Song all the way to give Zhu Mian two thousand guan, but they were almost snatched away. If it wasn't for Qin Fei's poor employment, the two thousand guan would have already filled up the funds.

According to Qian Gui's idea, it is better to cut off the money and give it to the Imperial City Secretary instead of giving it to Zhu Mian.Anyway, even the date of birth has been intercepted, so this kind of thing will not attract the attention of others.

Now it's Ximen Qing's turn to be brutally slaughtered, and it's still five thousand per year!

The restaurant has not yet opened. Although Ximen Qing and the magician Jiang Jing have estimated the profit in advance, the truth will not be known until the restaurant is in operation.

Five thousand strings is not a small amount!

"Yes!" Ximen Qing replied decisively.

Qian Gui took a sip viciously, always thinking that Ximen Qing would ask for a discount. In fact, the psychological price of this old fox is between [-] guan and [-] guan. I didn't expect Ximen Qing to agree decisively after frowning. .

Qian Gui suddenly had a feeling that his bid was too low.

"But I have some conditions for being an official!" Ximen Qing followed up with a turning point.

"But it doesn't matter." King Jia Zhao Kai shook his sleeves: "As long as this king or the Imperial City Secretary can do it, we will do it!"

"I want the right to brew wine!"

There is nothing wrong with Ximen Qing's conditions. After all, to do business in Bianliang, the right to brew wine is essential.Although Ximenqing had other arrangements at the beginning, but now he has to pay a lot of money, so naturally he has to talk about conditions!

"Yes!" King Jia Zhao Kai nodded without hesitation: "Although there are only 36 main restaurants in Bianliang City that have the right to brew wine, as long as this king asks, your restaurant will be No. 30 and seven!"

"Xiaguan's wine making place is not in Bianliang, it was transported from a long distance, and it needs to be escorted by officers and soldiers to ensure safety!"

"Sure! With the badge of the Imperial City Division, you can be escorted by state officers and soldiers along the way!"

Seeing King Jia and Zhao Kai agreeing to two conditions one after another, Ximen Qing's heart beat wildly, and he finally said his final request: "The brewery is not allowed to be harassed by the government!"

"With the Imperial City Secretary protecting you, who dares to disturb you?" King Jia Zhao Kai felt a little strange, and couldn't help asking, "Where is your brewery?"

Qian Gui let out a "hmm" and opened his presbyopic eyes: "Commander Ximen, you are quite courageous!"

"How dare you!" Ximen Qing made an aggrieved look, "I naturally found a treasure land of geomantic omen to make wine. There is a Liangshan River in Yunzhou, with a radius of [-] li and beautiful scenery."

"Liangshanshuipo?" Jia Wang Zhao Kai asked curiously: "Qian Modang, there are bandits and bandits there, and the local government can't kill them for a long time?"

Qian Gui didn't expect Ximen Qing to propose such a condition, so he sneered secretly and replied, "There was indeed a small group of grassroots Ximen commanders before, you can explain it!"

Ximen Qing kept his hands crossed, and said with a smile: "My lord, there were indeed grass bandits before Liangshan, but the number of them was only a few hundred. Bo, I heard that there is a treasure cave above it, which is the place where Du Kang brewed wine, so I specially bought the grass bandits to go up to have a look."

"Du Kang?" King Jia Zhao Kai listened with gusto: "That's the ancestor of wine making. What happened afterwards? Commander Ximen Qing, please continue."

The old fox Qian Gui naturally knew that Ximen Qing was talking nonsense, but Jiawang Zhao Kai expressed his position, so it was not easy to refute, and Ximen Qing did help him intentionally or unintentionally before, so Qian Gui wanted to hear Let's see how Ximenqing can complete this story.

"At that time, Xiaguan had two brewing masters with him, and he recognized at a glance that this Tianbao Cave was indeed the legendary Tianbao Cave." Ximen Qing was excited, dancing and gesticulating while speaking: "Xiaguan brought some original wine with him. The Jingyang wine brewed in Qinghe County is better, so everyone has the meaning of repentance."

"The lower official saw that those grassroots were interested, and after three days and three nights of persuasion, the leader agreed to jointly develop Liangshan with the lower official, to be a good citizen and not to be a grassroots anymore."

"Then why did they fall into the weeds before?" King Jia Zhao Kai listened intently, and suddenly asked a question.

Qian Gui moved his body, this question seemed simple, but it was difficult to answer.

How could someone like King Jia Zhao Kai, who grew up in the forbidden area, know the suffering of common people?Even these people in Bianliang City, enjoying the prosperity of the capital of the Song Dynasty, may not be able to understand it.

If Qian Gui were to answer this question, he would have to think twice before speaking.

"It's nothing more than being oppressed by officials, or offending the government." Ximenqing is not rich, and he doesn't know how to go around: "There is a saying in the market: forced to go to Liangshan! From this sentence, we can see that these people are all good citizens. , in desperation, he was forced to go to Liangshan to fall into the grass."

King Jia Zhao Kai frowned after hearing this explanation, and fell silent.

"This Ximen Qing is really bold!" Qian Gui's expression changed, he secretly glanced at King Jia, and then gave Ximen Qing a hard look with his eyes.

Ximen Qingquan pretended he didn't see it, and continued to beat the side drum: "These people committed trivial things, and they were afraid of retaliation from the government, so they went to Liangshan, self-sufficient, and they didn't go down easily."

"Commander Ximen, can you ensure that these people won't become thieves again?" King Jia Zhao Kai pondered for a while, and finally asked.

"If there is food and wine to drink, who would run to shed grass?" Ximen Qing replied decisively: "Right now, the wine shops on Liangshan, mainly Tianbao Cave, are in full swing, and they are too busy."

"Very good." King Jia Zhao Kai seemed to have made up his mind: "As long as you can ensure this, I can make Yunzhou no longer besiege Liangshan."

"Thank you for your grace!"

"However, if there is only one bandit in Liangshan again." King Jia Zhao Kai's eyes flickered: "As long as the news reaches this king's ears, this king will be the first to attack you!"

"The lower official is willing to guarantee it with his head!" Ximen Qing really saw the murderous intent in the eyes of the 15-year-old boy, but now that Liangshan has become his base camp, how could something happen?

With this condition, Liangshan will almost never have future troubles!

"Very good." King Jia Zhao Kai nodded as if he was a little tired: "There are still two questions I want to ask you, but I am a little tired right now, so I will talk about it later."

"Your Excellency, take care of your body!" Ximen Qing flattered him resolutely. This Jiawang Zhao Kai was his thigh for a long time, so he had to hug him tightly!
