Give gifts!
Give gifts to your subordinates!
This is something that the Iron Cock Tian Zhifu, who only gets in and gets nothing out, has never done anything before.
After hearing what Master Wen said, he felt that what Master Wen said was very reasonable!
Although he is Zhuge Buliang's Shangguan, his backing is only at the Taoist level of Beimo Road. However, although Zhuge Buliang is a small county magistrate, he still holds the original promise of Ning Guo. thigh--
This is something you can’t afford to provoke!
It’s something that I definitely can’t underestimate!
After all, having been in the officialdom for more than twenty years, Magistrate Tian was well-informed and knew that having a strong backer meant an unlimited future.
Maybe one day, an imperial edict will come down, and the little-known Zhuge Buliang will become his immediate boss, and it is not impossible to even go straight to the center!
This matter cannot be underestimated!
You have to treat it with extreme caution!
Master Wen pondered for three breaths and said in a low voice:
"First of all, it can't be gold and silver treasures!"
Tian Xiurong was startled, thinking that he would accept the filial piety of those salt merchants, but apart from the gold and silver treasures and beauties, they didn't want anything. This Master Wen denied the gold and silver treasures when he opened his mouth...
By the way, Zhuge Buliang was not married yet, so his eyes lit up, "Master, what you mean is... to give him two concubines?"
The muscles on his face twitched, and he said with great distress: "I heard that Zhuge Buliang is not married yet, how about I bear the pain and give Luo Hong to him?"
Master Wen quickly waved his hand:
"Master, you must not do this!"
"...Isn't this possible?"
"Master, think about it, Zhuge Buliang has just taken office, and there is nothing in Youdu County now. He was personally appointed by the regent. What he wants now is to make some political achievements in Youdu County to repay the regent. The king’s grace of knowing me!”
"Where does he have any extra thought to spend on this woman?"
"Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't dare to accept it!"
"Since the regent has made an unusual decision to reuse him, I guess there will be spies keeping an eye on him!"
"Since Youdu County was established by the Regent himself, that place will definitely be under the Regent's attention!"
"Besides, although Yanjing City was once a joke, now that the regent has returned safely, there is no doubt that Yanjing City will really be built."
"Its name is Yanjing!"
"This is enough to show that the regent is interested in that place!"
"In the future... there may be heavy traffic in that place where birds don't poop!"
"Zhuge Buliang is obviously not stupid. How dare he accept the concubine given to him by the master!"
Tian Xiurong suddenly realized.
"Well... Then when we go to Youdu County, sir, I will take Luo Hong with me!"
"Why bring it?"
Tian Xiurong grinned and narrowed his little eyes: "If you are a human, you must have shortcomings!"
"We don't understand Zhuge Buliang. We have to try it. We have to find his shortcomings and then start from them..."
"What if he likes women... If I want him to be a fellow traveler with me, I have to drag him into the sewage of this pool."
"Luo Hong is young and beautiful, and is proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Isn't he a scholar? If he likes it, leave it to him. As for how he gets along with Luo Hong, that is his business."
Master Wen stayed for a moment and said, "Best regards, sir!"
Tian Xiurong smiled proudly, touched the two-stroke mustache at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly said doubtfully:
"You said, if the city of Yanjing is really built according to the capital system... there won't be a few taels of silver left in the treasury!"
"Since the regent has erected the walls of Yanjing City, for the sake of his reputation, he will definitely build this city as well!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk...!"
Tian Xiurong's thin face showed a bright smile, "What a big deal! But I like it very much, sir!"
"He will definitely raise taxes. Will the taxes increase a lot?"
Master Wen also stroked the goat's beard on his chin and said with a smile:
"It should be this way, and this is the only way!"
Tian Xiurong clapped his hands and said, "Okay, it's good to raise taxes!"
"You can only keep a tiny bit of that white money by passing it through your hands. It would be better if the regent built Yanjing City on a large scale!"
"The silver that was measured that day flowed through Beimo Road. This time... we can't let it disappear in vain through the cracks of my fingers!"
Master Wen bowed slightly:
"The master is right! So now there is no harm in getting along well with Zhuge Buliang!"
"Well, besides Miss Luohong, what else can I give to Zhuge Buliang?"
Master Wen pondered for three breaths:
"By the way, there is no business in Youdu County now. In fact, there is not even a market town. They are all refugees from back then. I heard that a lot of fields have been reclaimed. How about..."
"It's better to send some oxen to plow seeds and so on... These things are not worth a lot of money, but they are useful for what they are used for!"
"In this case, Zhuge Buliang will happily accept it, and you and he will have a good start!"
"Secondly... I went there in person and gave away the things they needed most in a big way. Your reputation, sir, will naturally be more resounding in the hearts of the ordinary people in Youdu County... This is how you love the people. Son, if you have the opportunity to be promoted in the future, this will be one of your political achievements!"
Tian Xiurong's little eyes lit up again, "What a great idea!"
"Then you can arrange this after the regent leaves... After I ask a salt merchant to ransom Miss Luohong, we will go to Youdu County for a walk."
"Hey, it's a pity that the pretty girl can't enjoy it anymore!"
"Master, with the money, I can have any kind of girl I want. At this moment, I should put the overall situation first!"
"Well, sir, I know the importance!"
The cicadas sounded irritably, but Tian Xiurong's heart calmed down a little.
I thought that the regent was just passing through Youzhou City. I thought that all the shady things in my house had been moved. I was living in the official room behind the government office. The regent could not stay in Youzhou City for long. .
When he returns to Yujing City, he will definitely forget this remote and poor Northern Desert like the emperors in the past.
Even if he didn't forget it, he didn't have time to deal with Bei Desert for the time being.
But, why hasn’t the regent come yet?
This weather... Sir, I am sitting at home, eating watermelon that has been soaked in well water. Two concubines are beating their legs, and a few maids are fanning. In the evening, there was a wine party with the salt merchants...
Well, bear with me.
Let's take a look at the legendary Poet Immortal and the young Regent. What does he look like?
"Qi Tongzhi,"
"My lord, I'm here!"
"Send two smarter detectives to take a look ahead. If you see the regent's guard of honor, come back and report it!"
"I obey my orders!"
After a moment, the two horses galloped away.
…
…
The sun is like fire.
On this official road leading to Youzhou City, there was an army of thousands of people advancing.
Walking in the front were Xiaowu, Amu, Wang Zhenghaoxuan and Duguhan.
Behind the four people were soldiers from the Xuanjia Battalion wearing black armor and four prison vehicles.
Following the Xuanjia Camp were the girls of Ning Xiuzi wearing silver armor!
Li Chenan was not among them.
He took four beauties, Zhongli Ruoshui, to a village only ten miles away from Youzhou City!
He did not take Xiaowu Amu, Wang Zhenghaoxuan and the others with him, mainly because he was worried that Wang Zhenghaoxuan would take away the dogs raised by the villagers to guard the homes and courtyards.
That guy's movements are so smooth.
It’s simply impossible to guard against!
The dog that someone worked so hard to raise disappeared without even a sip of soup. If this spreads out, the dignified regent of Ningguo will lose a whole village of dogs when he comes to a village...
I'm not stupid!
Although he said he had eaten some essence, he had a bad reputation.
Although Li Chenan didn't care about the reputation and didn't feel any guilt when eating dog meat, after all, he was a dog from a poor family, so he still couldn't bear it.
Besides, it’s such a hot day to eat too much dog meat, and there are so many people around you. It’s uncomfortable to hold it in, isn’t it?
Therefore, Li Chenan became a vegetarian!
At this moment, he was sitting in the courtyard of a rather exquisite courtyard house.
Just under an old yellowhorn tree.
This kind of courtyard house with red bricks and blue tiles is a bit far away from the village with thatched houses.
It also seemed a little out of place.
Of course he didn't come here just to sit around, but he learned some things from the villagers' mouths along the way.
For example, selling private salt!
