Is this Xu Chongguang so easy to fool?
As soon as they thought this, they remembered Xie Yanzhi's eloquence and sieve-like insight, and they sympathized with Xu Chongguang.
Magistrate Xu, who didn't seem very smart, seemed to be no match for Shao'an.
After a few words and a few words, he might be betrayed by him later, and he would still help count the money stupidly.
But that's fine, with Shaoan here, they should be able to sit back and relax in the future!
While several people were thinking this, Master Bai was pondering and getting closer to Xie Yanzhi in the future.
He finally figured out that with such a powerful figure in Liuyun County, it was impossible for him and Xu Chongguang to amass money wantonly.
He had already thought about it all the way here.
When he first took office, he was asked to take over the job and take this opportunity to receive more filial piety from his wealthy businessmen.
After the county test, I looked for an excuse to delay the spring plowing.
Those rich farmers and landlords below are anxious and will definitely send some benefits.
As long as spring plowing is not really delayed, it won't be a big problem.
Then in April and May, labor can be collected on the pretext of building official river roads.
For those who don't go, each family can pay five taels of silver to avoid going.
It's just that the scope needs to be wider. It won't work if there is only one male in the family.
When an official document is issued, a family with more than two members and one adult male must go.
If a family has more than ten members and there are more than three adult males, two must go.
In this way, we can collect more money then.
Until May, before the Dragon Boat Festival, you can still receive a wave of boxing gifts.
It’s been very hot since May, and you can get a wave of ice cream.
After that, it’s almost the same, you can receive gifts during summer harvest, Mid-Autumn Festival, and Double Ninth Festival.
After the Double Ninth Festival, when the weather gets colder, there is still Tan Jing.
Then there is the New Year’s gift.
Of course, this does not include birthdays of people in the house and the like.
However, now that Xie Yan is here, this plan will probably not be used...
Who would have thought that a scholar with no relatives could be so capable?
That kind of connections, let alone a mere scholar from a small place, even a scholar like him from the capital city cannot find such connections.
It can be seen that Xie Yanzhi is really smart, and he has other advantages.
If he gets along well with this kind of person, it will only benefit him in the future.
As for what happened to Xu Chongguang, he didn't care!
No, it should be said that if Xu Chongguang was led by Xie Yanzhi, he might not have to think about making money.
But maybe we can actually achieve some other political achievements!
Of course, this in itself must be Xie Yanzhi, a person with a pure mind and dedicated to serving the people.
*
Because of Master Bai's inaction, or laissez-faire, Xu Chongguang was in a very good mood.
After Xie Yanzhi and Chen Hao left, he was still feeling happy and kept praising how good Xie Yanzhi was.
Master Bai wanted to get closer to Xie Yanzhi, so he naturally followed him and praised him together.
Xie Yanzhi was not aware of Xu Chongguang's praise for him after he left.
As soon as he and Chen Hao arrived at Xie's house, they ran into someone from Min's house.
"Thank you, Xiucai, wait a moment!"
Xie Yanzhi didn't have much contact with the Min family, but Liuyun County was not big, so they all knew each other.
The one who came today is the head of the Min family.
After he stopped Xie Yan, he glanced at Chen Hao beside him and said automatically: "I think this is Mr. Chen Hao from the General Protector's Mansion, right?"
As he said this, he introduced himself and explained his purpose of coming without waiting for Xie Yanzhi and Chen Hao to reply.
"Hello, Mr. Chen, my name is Min Weizhong, and I am the head of the Min Mansion in Liuyun County. Today I learned that you are coming to Liuyun County. As the host, I have hosted a banquet on the second floor of Tianxiang Building..."
Before the head of the Min family had finished speaking, Chen Hao glanced at Xie Yanzhi, then approached him and whispered in his ear: "Brother Shao'an, I know what you mean by inviting me to this dinner. But you have already bought so much before. We should give more food to the people, and we don’t have to spend money that shouldn’t be spent. There are always people treating us, why not ask them to pay, and we can just go there then? "
Chen Hao's words won Xie Yanzhi's heart. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "What Brother Bo Ming said makes sense, so let's do this!"
The head of the Min family didn't even know that he hadn't finished speaking. Why were the two people in front of him still whispering to each other?
Just when he didn't know what Chen Hao's attitude meant, he heard Xie Yanzhi say: "Master Min, Mr. Chen is here today, and it coincides with Master Xu taking office, so I will hold a banquet for everyone on the second floor of Tianxiang Tower, and the time will be at You hour. !”
The escort agency in Liuyun County belongs to the Min family.
The head of the Min family has been in business for many years, so how could he not know the secrets inside?
Hearing Xie Yanzhi's words, he said: "Xie Xiucai, just take care of the banquet, and the money will be mine when the time comes to settle the bill. I just don't know how big the room you have booked, Xie Xiucai, is there any room available?"
Hearing this, Xie Yanzhi glanced at Chen Hao and said, "Brother Bo Ming, please go in first. I have something to say to the head of the Min family."
After Chen Hao nodded and entered Xie's house, Xie Yanzhi opened his mouth and said to the Min family head directly: "Min family head, I know what you mean. Mr. Chen is here to find me, and I have a good relationship with County Magistrate Xu, so for them While receiving the wind and washing away the dust, I also bid farewell to Mr. Chen. If you have such intention, then this game will be yours tonight?"
The direct descendant of the Min family is in Xinyang Mansion. He had received the news a long time ago and knew that Xie Yanzhi had a good relationship with Chen Hao and the young minister of Dali Temple. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said, "It's better for you to treat Xie Xiucai. I'll just pay the bill when the time comes." .My request is that there be a place for me on the table at night.”
"This is natural! In this way, you sit with me in the evening, and then I will introduce you to Mr. Xu."
Because the head of the Min family is kind, or in other words, under the management of Chen Yang, the merchants in Liuyun County are of the same mind, and they are not that kind of profiteers, so Xie Yanzhi said again.
"Master Xu, you should know the purpose of taking office here this time. It's just that I found that his brain is not as fast as Master Chen, and he may think of ways to make money. If he hints at you to send something, you should act like you don't know. Leave the rest to me. We in Liuyun County should treat Mr. Chen whatever the rules we have in the past, and we must not set a precedent."
The head of the Min family nodded cautiously: "Okay, since we are inviting Mr. Xu to the banquet, how about I call a few more people? Of course, I will give them instructions."
Xie Yanzhi thought for a while and nodded: "Okay, didn't you also book a private room on the second floor? Then let's move them together so we can talk later. By the way, call Brother Cao too. Xu Chongguang should be afraid of him! Brother Cao If he doesn’t go, just tell him that I asked him to go.”
"Okay, then it's settled! You are in charge of the game tonight, and everyone is called by Xie Xiucai. It's your treat, and we'll pay the bill!"
