Landlord of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 288
In Hongshan Town, Yang Wen took the gift bearers to the warehouse and saw more than 20 camphor boxes unloaded.A team leader presented a list of gifts, and Yang Wen turned over the boxes and counted them one by one.

Half a quarter of an hour later, I opened all the boxes and looked at them. Yang Wen picked them out and put the valuables or cash aside. It was only 100 taels of silver. I can't see it either.

Now that it was brought to see Xu Qing, it had to be packed with some useless boxes.

The amount of money that can be sent is small, which shows that the person who comes is still a clean official.Honest officials also need to be promoted, and honest officials also need to understand human relationships and build relationships, otherwise no one will know even if they work hard.So they tried to find a way to take Xu Qing's shortcut.If Xu Qing went back to Beijing and mentioned to the emperor that the counties around his hometown were well governed, it would be a great honor for him to let the emperor know about him.

Estimating the presents, Yang Wen took out some of them as a gift in return, and then settled the porter who was carrying the box, eating and drinking.

At Xu Qing's place, everyone already told him what they asked him to do, and they also hoped that Xu Qing would walk around Chang'an for them, just like the governor of Tanzhou.The four county magistrates want to move around, naturally they want to be promoted and judged as excellent, while the male county magistrates hope that Xu Qing can find a real vacancy for them, so as not to sit back and eat.

The so-called walking is nothing more than giving them a gift and being a "courier". In exchange, the county magistrates of the four counties said that they would open the door to the Xu family's property within their jurisdiction.

Xu Qing is not short of money now, if they promise how much money, maybe Xu Qing will have to twitch a little bit.But upon hearing this, Xu Qing immediately agreed.The magistrates of the four counties thought that Xu Qing was talking nonsense and agreed indiscriminately, until Xu Qing made his request.

first.Sugar factories of other brands are not allowed to appear in the four counties. The one in Hongshan Town will expand, and other factories in the four counties can also be invested and established.In addition, severely crack down on unscrupulous merchants who imitate Xu Ji's sugar products.In addition, Xu's caravans can enjoy favorable tax treatment when they cross the border.

Such three conditions are like asking the magistrates of the four counties for regional protection.The four county magistrates discussed with each other, remembering that their term of office was only four years, it would be fine to make an exception and protect the Xu family business within four years, after all, official career is more important.

According to the verbal agreement, Xu Qing will help the county magistrates of the four counties to go to Chang'an, and promise to help them speak well and deliver gifts.The county magistrates, on the other hand, helped the Xu family's industry to give the green light in all aspects.

In the end, it was a deal with those men from the county. They, hehe, it wasn't that Xu Qing looked down on them, there was really nothing that Xu Qing liked.It's just that they are meritorious people after all, as long as people live for a while, they have a chance to rise to the top.Xu Qing didn't like to keep a cold face, so he agreed.

The guests and the host had a great time, and the county magistrates of the four counties went back to prepare gifts, and the county male and county magistrates also wanted to give Xu Qing another reward.

Xu Qing called Yang Wen, and seeing that there were only a hundred taels of silver, he asked him to write it down in the account book, which was to be handed over to the wives.

There was nothing to do for half a day, and Xu Qing was not in a hurry to go back to the mansion, but stayed in Hongshan Town until the second day.During the period, I took the drawings and charcoal to draw pictures, and thought hard for a long time, but finally failed to make any progress in the structure of the gun.

The next day, when the convoy came back, the large sum of money that Xu Qing brought back from Cangzhou arrived in the account, and the villager of Luo Xiuxiu, Tanzhou governor entrusted Xu Qing with Tanjing.What Xu Qing cares most about is Xu Qi, I haven't seen her for a few days, so I miss her.

A car pulled into Hongshan Town, and passers-by stopped to watch, discussing where such a large group of people came from.Xu Qing was also counting the carriages, wondering why Xu Qi was missing?

After halfway through, Xu Qing panicked, did that little girl go back to Liaodong by herself?

Xu Qing pulled a horse and kicked along the convoy to look for Xu Qi.Xu Qing was not relieved until he reached the end of the line and saw the pouting porcelain doll.The moment he was relieved, he realized how much he cared about Xu Qi.

Xu Qing walked up to her on a horse, and scolded with a smile: "Silly girl, why are you standing at the back, isn't it cold?"

Xu Qi pouted and refused to let go, snorted, looked aside, and said: "I just want to see if some people in the gentle village still remember me..."

Xu Qinglang smiled and said: "What's the matter, why are you still angry with me..."

Xu Qing couldn't help Xu Qi to say something, he clamped the horse's belly, and missed the horse that Xu Qi was riding, then picked up Xu Qi, put him in front of him, and rode the same horse.

"Let go, hehehe!" Xu Qi struggled desperately in Xu Qing's arms, but how could Xu Qing let her break free.

"Xu Qi, you are bought by the young master. Your father also said that he gave you to me. How dare you be disobedient?" Xu Qing hugged Xu Qi tightly and told her not to struggle for a while. Put her across the horse.She slapped that little butt with a slap, and cursed: "Xu Qi! Do you still dare not listen to me? Do you dare to roll the eyes of the young master? Do you dare to make a small report?"

This time, Xu Qi stopped making trouble. Xu Qing thought she was sullen, but Xu Qi hugged Xu Qing's thigh and bit down.Then he let go, and laughed through tears: "Smelly Xu Qing, you just molested me, you have to be responsible for me!"

Xu Qing nodded and said: "What a little girl, you actually plot against me..."

Xu Qi smiled and said: "Hey, it's your honor that this princess has taken a fancy to you, do you know, huh?"

Xu Qing shook his head and said: "What's the use of you plotting against me, even if I recognize you, Xue'er and the others may not necessarily recognize you."

Xu Qi lay on Xu Qing's lap and wondered, "Why, I gave them so many small reports!"

Xu Qing showed a characteristic face of a "conspiracy theorist", and said with a sinister smile: "What do you think, now that Luo Xiuxiu is already there, you have almost offended her. Xue'er and the others will offend Xiuxiu for you, You are so small, they will only try their best to drive you away."

Xu Qi panicked immediately, got up, sat facing Xu Qing and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Xu Qing spread his hands and said, "I know what to do,"

"No, you have to find a way for me!" Xu Qi seemed to be dying, pointing at Xu Xiaoqing with clenched fists, and said to Xu Daqing: "You, if you can't think of a way, I, I will punch you kill it!"

Xu Qing swallowed, he knew that this silly girl Xu Qi could do anything, so he could only say: "Oh, I'm trying to find a way, right? If you do this, I'll be nervous. If you can't figure it out, you put it down first." Ah, I have something to discuss..."

Xu Qi shook her head, her eyes became firmer and fiercer, and she had a pretty face like a porcelain doll, full of anger, really cute.

But Xu Qing was not in the mood to appreciate it, and for the sake of the little brother, he hurriedly assumed the state of a thinker.
