After saying that, he looked at Xu Mou with bright eyes.
He felt that he had grasped Zhao Ping's weakness and pulled Zhao Ping down from his superior position.
There is no way, Zhao Ping is an insurmountable mountain in front of him, and being able to pull it down in his hands is definitely a joy in life.
"This is not a problem. Isn't there a shopkeeper Xiong Shan in Zhaojiazhuang, Lingquan County? This person happens to be the deputy general shopkeeper of Chidao." Xu Mou replied calmly, as if he was able to withstand Xu Yue's fierce offensive.
Xu Yue moved his mouth, obviously a little unnaturally.
But he was not resigned to it. He turned his eyes and asked, "What is this Xiong Shan doing now?"
Even if you are the shopkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang, but you have not built Chidao, it will not work.
"He built that section of Su's Chidao. So it would be best for him to be the deputy general manager." Xu Mou had already revealed his plans.
Xu Yue still refused to give in: "But if we follow Zhao Ping's method to build Chidao now, the money will definitely not be enough. After all, Immortal Concrete is not rock or soil, and only the Su family can afford this cost."
"So we must bring Yu Jihan in. Although he is the concubine's ancestor, Zhao Ping treats his family very well. Yu Jihan's son and grandson only have the title of civil servant, and they are already of good character. I'm a junior official now." Xu Mou's tone was extremely envious.
Xu Yue was in disbelief. He felt like there was a sudden earthquake. He stood up and asked, "Uncle, is it true or not?"
"Of course it's true. In less than half a year, they have become imperial officials instead of petty officials. I heard that the father of the little saint's concubine is not a seventh-grade man."
After saying that, he glanced at Xu Yue without any trace, because Xu Yue was also in the seventh level.
However, Xu Yue's seventh rank is the result of the joint efforts of the Xu family and the Xie family.
The two families have very powerful backgrounds. One is the prime minister and the other is a political governor, and they control most of the power of the court.
You must know that the little saint was just the chief secretary of Chengdu Prefecture, and later he also served as the deputy envoy of the Salt Department.
He never expected that Zhao Ping was actually so capable.
Xu Yue didn't believe it at all, and murmured: "If one of his concubines is a relative, my nephew would still believe it, but how is it possible for two of them?"
"I didn't believe it at first. Later I learned that his concubine's brother Yu Moyan was an eighth-rank official in the Salt Division, and his concubine's father was a seventh-rank county magistrate." Xu Mou's tone was filled with envy. .
He is about the same age as Yu Qishi, and he is also a Juren. The two statuses are completely different.
Even though someone in his family served as a political governor in the imperial court, he could only enter the official class by passing the Jinshi examination. If he did not pass the Jinshi examination, he would have to squeeze into the dozen or so fellow Jinshi places by relying on three-term examination.
But the officials thought that there were too many redundant people in the Song Dynasty, and they were stuck one after another for the candidates to be admitted to the same Jinshi.
Xu Mou took the exam for more than 20 years, maybe because his qualifications were average. He only passed the exam for two exams, not even three exams, let alone qualified for the same Jinshi.
Frustrated, he simply worked as a staff member for his nephew to get acquainted with the officialdom.
Xu Yue frowned, feeling that something was getting more and more wrong: "Uncle Clan, the West County court can't control it, and allows Zhao Ping to arrange his people at will?"
He was so angry that he even said the word "Shu Zi".
Xu Mou shook his head, not expecting that his plan to bring down the enemy was too small.
It was clear that the little saint was far ahead of him, so he was so jealous that he even called Zhao Ping Shuzi.
I don't know whether it is good or bad to follow such a master.
"No, since the security team captured Xi County, they have already reported to the court and asked the court to send personnel to manage it. No one is willing to go there." Xu Mou shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Yue was even more confused: "Why are you not willing to go to Xi County?"
"Xixian County is next to Xingyuan Prefecture, less than fifty miles away. The terrain is flat. The cavalry can reach here in less than an hour," Xu Mou said while looking at Xu Yue carefully. "Besides, there is a strong attack force of the Hu people." Song's base stationed an army of 500,000 troops. Zhaojiazhuang fought with the Hu people every day, and Xi County didn't know what would be lost again."
Sure enough, Xu Yue's face turned pale when he heard that there were still 500,000 Hu troops in Xingyuan Mansion.
Seeing Xu Yue like this, Xu Mou knew that he would definitely not go to Xixian County. Chengdu is a land of abundance.
Compared with Xi County, which may be invaded by barbarians at any time, this place is not only wealthy, but also safe.
"A gentleman will not stand behind a dangerous wall, and the ancients will not deceive me." Xu Yue saw Xu Mou's eyes and was afraid that he would see through him, so he hurriedly used these words to cover himself up.
Xu Mou naturally would not expose him and nodded, seeming to agree with his statement.
Xu Mou thought for a while and couldn't help but sigh: "The little saint is good to his subordinates and relatives. The current chief bookkeeper of Zhaojiazhuang, Zhang Hong, is also the father of his concubine."
"How many concubines does Zhao Ping have, and he is so lustful?" Xu Yue felt even more jealous when he heard this.
You know, he doesn't have any concubines, and he is still suppressed by his wife Xie Lingmo at home.
Even if he wanted to go to a brothel, he would do so secretly and not openly.
There is no other way. His status as county magistrate and even his qualification as a Jinshi were all obtained through marriage.
What's more, although Xie Lingmo's appearance was a little worse, she still gave birth to three children, and there was another one in her belly, which made the Xu family and the Xie family smile from ear to ear.
Although Xu Yue looked down on Xie Lingmo's appearance, he still respected Xie Lingmo very much.
Xie Lingmo also had his own advantages. Although he was not as good-looking as him, he was equally well-educated and well-informed, especially in officialdom.
For example, it was she who proposed the construction of Chidao in Lingquan County.
Although Chi Dao was messed up in Xu Yue's hands, this was caused by Xu Yueyan's superiority and inferiority and had nothing to do with Xie Lingmo.
Of course Xu Mou knew Xu Yue's thoughts and shook his head: "The little saint is still young and cannot have sex with him. In fact, these concubines are sent by his family. I heard that the little saint is very busy all day long and has no time to take care of these concubines. .As for how many concubines there are, I don’t know.”
He was an upright man, and he went to find out where Zhao Ping's concubine was.
"I heard that Zhao Ping was engaged to Master Yu's granddaughter. I didn't expect that she would be so lustful." Hearing this, someone else gave Zhao Ping their daughter as a concubine. He became even more jealous and almost went crazy.
Xu Yue couldn't help but compare himself with Zhao Ping. Both of them were married to big officials in the officialdom. Why did Zhao Ping have so many people send their daughters to be concubines, but he didn't?
Hearing Xu Yue's sour words, Xu Mou didn't know what he was thinking.
He increasingly felt that Xu Yue's structure was too small and he was jealous of Zhao Ping.
Not only was Zhao Ping younger than him, but his official position was older than him, his talent was far superior to his, and his wealth was incomparable.
After all, Xu Mou has passed his forties, and his jealousy has already faded a lot.
Needing to divert the master's attention quickly, he bowed his hands to Xu Yue and said, "Sir, how to build this Chi Road?"
"How to build Chidao?" Xu Yue couldn't help but be stunned.
He still hadn't woken up from his jealousy towards Zhao Ping, so he hurriedly picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.
Seeing Xu Yue not drinking tea for a while, Shen Sheng knew that he had not completely returned to reality from jealousy.
Xu Mou thought for a while and decided to distract himself, and said deliberately: "Sir, there are imperfections in this management of Chidao."
"What, there are still imperfections, where are they?" Xu Yue suddenly woke up when he heard that there were omissions in Chidao's management.
Seeing that Xu Yue finally woke up, Xu Mou was finally happy.
In fact, this is already relatively complete, but his words have already been spoken and he must find a way to say it.
Xu Mou drank tea while thinking about it.
He quickly came up with an idea and saluted Xu Yue: "Sir, the general shopkeeper, deputy shopkeeper and chief clerk of Chidao are all from the Little Sage's side. Shouldn't you arrange for your own people to supervise it? ?”
When Xu Yue heard this, it made sense.
This Chidao is nominally promoted by itself. How can it pass without its own?
He looked at Xu Mou, suddenly understood, and suddenly said: "It turns out that the clan uncle wants to appoint a deputy shopkeeper in Chidao. This is not a big problem. But my nephew can't live without the clan uncle here. What should I do?"
Of course Xu Mou meant this when he said this. Now that Xu Yue had pointed it out, although it was embarrassing, it was better than raising it himself.
"Concierge Xu Xiao has nothing to do here. It's better to let him go out and gain some experience." Xu Mou looked at Xu Xiao, who had heard about it with sharp ears, and made a suggestion.
Xu Xiao is about seventeen or eighteen years old and is Xu Yue's younger brother.
Although his surname is also Xu, he also studied in Hanchuang for ten years, but he is not the same material. His two imperial examinations and results were very unsatisfactory.
Xu Yue happened to come to Lingquan County and simply worked as a concierge here.
Xu Yue felt something was wrong and bowed his hands: "Uncle, my brother is young. I heard that Chidao Construction has too many twists and turns. What should I do if my brother is deceived?"
"Sir, I would be worried if someone else built the Chi Road. But who built this Chi Road? The Little Saint. Not only has the Little Saint built the Chi Road from Jintang County to Chengdu, I heard that he also built the Chi Road between Xi County and Jintang. Build a chiroute between counties. Think about it, how could a little saint tamper with the chiroute between Lingquan County and Chengdu?" Speaking of this, Xu Mou unknowingly admired and even worshiped Zhao Ping.
Xu Yue's eyes widened with a look of complete disbelief: "What, that is the Shu Road that is difficult to reach the sky, and Zhao Ping actually wants to build a Chi Road?"
"Yes, Taibai has a poem that says, You are forty-eight thousand years old, and you are not in the vicinity of Qin Sai. If the little saint really builds a galloping road, it will truly make the natural road smooth. This is the real road of accumulating good deeds. Yeah." After saying this, Xu Mou sounded truly admiring.
Xu Yue shook his head and said with disdain: "With the power of Qin's rejuvenation, it took fifteen years to build the Shu Road. The Chi Road is far more difficult than the Shu Road. Could it be that Zhao Ping planned to build it for thirty or fifty years? ?”
For some reason, Xu Yue didn't like hearing about things related to Zhao Ping.
Unexpectedly, his clan uncle mentioned Zhao Ping again, and it was Chi Dao that far surpassed Qin's Shu Dao, which made him feel even more unhappy.
"Thirty years, fifty years, it's not that exaggerated." Xu Mou shook his head, feeling incredible, "Zhaojiazhuang's chief bookkeeper Zhang Hong revealed that it would be three to five years at most, maybe about two years."
"If Zhao Ping can turn Shu Road into Chi Road within three years, this county will drink all the ink from this inkstone." Hearing that his clan uncle admired Zhao Ping so much, he felt even more unhappy, so he simply used the ink Come and swear.
He was so angry that instead of calling himself his nephew, he called himself the county.
When the concierge heard this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth.
He had already imagined what would happen a few years later, and his brother, the county magistrate, had already remembered what he had sworn today.
But if the little saint really repairs Shu Dao, a three-year-old child of Chi Dao, will the clan brother drink it or not?
If you don't drink, you will lose your credibility; if you drink, you will lose your face.
If he was forced to drink a plate of ink at that time, people who knew it would think that he drank too much ink, but did he actually drink too little?
This shameful thing must not be spread outside.
Perhaps, drinking ink is still an elegant thing for literati.
Isn't it? Literati often describe how much they read as drinking ink.
He looked around secretly. Fortunately, there were only three of them in the entire public room, and fortunately there were no outsiders.
Seeing Xu Yue taking things too far, Xu Mou immediately brought the topic back: "Sir, there should be no problem in letting Xu Xiao supervise Chidao on my behalf."
"Zhao Ping has already built a Chi Road and is building a Chi Road on Shu Road. He is a reputable person and of course he will not make fun of his reputation." Hearing that Zhao Ping was still building a Chi Road, Xu Yue believed that Zhao Ping Ping would not joke about the reputation of the little saint, "Uncle, my nephew also found a problem, how to negotiate with the Su family, Xu family, Xie family, Chen family and other families?"
"The Su family is easy to handle. Anyway, they are all built according to the Little Sage's methods. The difficulties are with the Xu family, Xie family and Chen family." Xu Mou nodded, and finally said flatly: "I don't care about this, let the Little Sage think for himself. There's a way to go."
