It can be seen that Wu Jifeng and his cousin are also very thoughtful people and think things through clearly! Now that Wu Jifeng had finished speaking, Liu Haojia was silent for a moment and said seriously: "Wu Jifeng, are you serious?"
Wu Jifeng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. He stood up, straightened his clothes, bowed and saluted and said, "Master Marquis, I am willing to do my best!"
Liu Haojia nodded and said hello, then he called the housekeeper in the house and whispered a few instructions, then turned back to Wu Jifeng and said: "In that case, you can go to the salt field to report as usual tomorrow, and do whatever you need to do. What? I will arrange for you to serve as the county magistrate of Tianjin!"
When Wu Jifeng heard this, he suddenly felt dizzy! I am inexplicably surprised! It seems that taking refuge in Wu Ninghou is the right step!
Originally, their inner court officials still had a long way to go before they could become official court officials. Especially how to complete the identity transformation is a big problem! Because most officials in the court do not accept the inner court officials because they think these people have been with the royal family for a long time and are too involved! .
But now, with the support of Liu Haojia, he easily obtained the position of county magistrate, which can be said to have completed a magnificent turn! What is a county magistrate? He is called "Bailihou"!
However, Wu Jifeng calmed down and immediately said: "Master Hou, the position of Tianjin County Magistrate is quite important, how can you get it so easily? If it doesn't work, there is no harm in waiting two or three more years!"
Liu Haojia waved his hand and said: "I don't have time to let you wait for two or three more years! It's better to polish yourself during this time! As for the fact that you are appointed as Tianjin County Magistrate, it is too simple! Because Tianjin The county magistrate will continue to cause problems until the person in this candidate sits in this position!"
Wu Jifeng was almost stunned by Liu Haojia's domineering words! But then he figured it out! Tianjin is now the gathering place for wealth in the entire north, and there is an incredible amount of money flowing every day! He didn't believe that the county magistrate in Tianjin would not reach out?
As long as he reaches out, it will be equivalent to putting a handle in front of Wu Ninghou! Even if an upright official like Hai Rui comes, with Wu Ninghou's methods, it will be easy to create some problems for him! So when he thought of this, he bowed with satisfaction and said, "Everything is at the discretion of the Marquis!"
Liu Haojia continued: "Although letting you serve as the county magistrate of Tianjin is not a show of talent, it can also be considered as defeating the purpose! Because Tianjin is different from other counties! But to return to this topic, you have to remember a few things that need to be done by you. !」
Wu Jifeng immediately cheered up and said, "Please give me your orders, Lord Marquis!"
At this time, Liu Haojia stood up and paced back and forth in the lobby and said: "The first thing is that you can ask the master, but you have to do everything seriously by yourself. The master can only be your assistant! You can't be like other officials Just leave everything to Master!"
Wu Jifeng immediately said: "Xiaguan understands! This is to hone Xiaguan's own abilities, so Xiaguan will definitely do it seriously!"
Liu Haojia said "hmm" and then continued: "The second thing is that you have to keep in touch with the scholars in the salt field and observe them carefully to see which of them are malleable talents and are willing to defect to me! In this matter, you You have to be more subtle and don’t get noticed by them!”
Wu Jifeng thought for a moment and said, "Master Hou, Uncle Xiaguan Tang said that they will definitely be squeezed out, transferred, or even set up traps by other civil servants to frame them. Do you need Xiaguan to help them?"
Liu Haojia said: "It's only after the fact that you pull them in! Only when they are in deep trouble will they know how precious it is when someone reaches out! If you tell them everything clearly now, they won't believe it!"
Wu Jifeng nodded and said, "I understand!"
Liu Haojia continued: "The third thing I want you to do is to keep Tianjin in my eyes! This is the place where I started, and nothing will happen! If there are any special circumstances, send the news directly to There will naturally be people here who will accept you!"
Seeing Liu Haojia stop, Wu Jifeng said tentatively: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis. I will watch and listen more, and report back in time. I just don't know what other orders the Lord Marquis has?"
Liu Haojia said: "
There is nothing else to do, you just have to work hard! In the future, I will arrange more credits for you so that you can grow up as quickly as possible! I hope you can help me as soon as possible! "
Wu Jifeng was even more excited when he heard this, and immediately said: "Don't worry, Lord Marquis, I will do my best!"
At this time, the butler reappeared in the main hall, holding a tray in his hand. Liu Haojia reached out and picked up the items from the tray and handed them to Wu Jifeng, and then said: "As the saying goes, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. I am well versed in the art of war, so I will not be short of hungry soldiers!"
Wu Jifeng took the thing and was surprised when he saw it! The first thing that catches the eye is a pile of banknotes, all of which are one hundred taels each. At a glance, there are almost twenty of them! In other words, what he is holding now is two thousand taels of silver!
There is also a deed for a 30% share of a shop in Tianjin! The deed clearly states that those who hold this deed can receive dividends based on their shares every year, but they are not allowed to participate in the management of the store.
The third one should be a house deed in the capital. Judging from the description of the house above, it is a small, single-family courtyard near Qipan Street! A small courtyard like this is worth a lot of money in the capital!
Wu Jifeng felt his palms were getting hot while holding the things in his hands! He couldn't help but said hesitantly: "Master Hou, you deserve to be a low-ranking official for receiving these things!"
Liu Haojia waved his hand casually and said, "What I give you is yours! I am always generous to my own people!"
Wu Jifeng immediately understood the second half of Liu Haojia's sentence, which was that he would be very cruel to his enemies! But since he has made up his mind to join Liu Haojia, he naturally doesn't worry about this matter. So he saluted him simply and said, "Then I would like to thank you Lord Marquis for your kindness!"
At this time, the butler said with a smile: "Mr. Wu, do you think my master is just this little? Then you underestimate my master! These people have just arranged for people to leave for my hometown tomorrow, and I will help Mr. Wu. We will buy a hundred acres of land there, and we will also buy a salt shop in the future! In the future, these two items alone will be enough to feed Mr. Wu’s family!”
Wu Jifeng was even more surprised when he heard this! But since he has accepted the previous gift, there will be no problem accepting the later one! He just expressed his gratitude to Liu Haojia again!
