A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Xia Zheng was speaking impassionedly. After being interrupted, he looked at Wen Xiaozhong dissatisfied, "Who is your husband?"

"Shen Long Tu!"

The impassionedness disappeared in an instant, and all that remained was vigilance.

"Why?" Xia Zheng retreated to the middle of his companions, obviously breathing a sigh of relief.

Wen Xiaozhong stared at him and said, "My husband has just been appointed by the officials to settle you and wait."

The shopkeeper peeked behind with his wife, and instantly noticed that half of the people's legs were shaking. He whispered: "These people are afraid of Shen Longtu!"

"Go quickly!"

Wen Xiaozhong stood on the edge, hoping that someone would not go, so that he could scare the monkeys.

But Xia Zheng knew Shen An's behavior very well and said without hesitation: "The officials are kind, so we will naturally obey and leave."

When Wen Xiaozhong saw that everyone was going out but no one paid, he said, "Why don't you pay?"

The shopkeeper glanced at his wife with pride in her eyes.

Look, someone said that Shen Long's picture is good.

His wife pursed her lips and then went out to settle accounts.

When everyone arrived at the bank, Shen An was already waiting.

"They all look good, at least they are white and fat."

Shen An's opening remarks were not friendly, so the officials remained silent and did not give him an excuse to take action.

"The court is discussing the errands you are waiting for. After all, there are too many people and it is difficult to arrange them. Before that, the salary will not be lacking for you, but people can't just take money and do nothing, right?"

Shen An looked at these people and suddenly said softly: "Is it okay?"

Everyone couldn't help but nodded, and then regretted it.

This method of breaking a leg is too cruel. Is there something cruel waiting for us to do?

"The bank is going to do an inventory recently. Someone needs to count the copper coins. This matter is not complicated and not tiring. Is that okay?"

Shen An's eyes gradually turned cold. Behind him stood a group of bank clerks, all of them in high spirits, waiting for his order to take action.

"yes."

As the saying goes, you have to work when you get a salary. Once you hold someone else's bowl, you have to submit to someone else's control.

This is the rule, who wants to violate this rule, haha!

"Take them to the back."

Shen An stepped aside, and a waiter shouted: "Follow me."

More than seventy people filed in.

Wang Yu appeared, "I thought you would break a few legs to scare them, but who would have thought that you would actually relent."

"They didn't do anything wrong, they just didn't obey the instructions, so I won't be cruel."

Wang Yu said in surprise: "You are still following right and wrong?"

Politicians never look at whether something is right or wrong. They look at its impact on the current situation and the country, and then make a choice.

So Wang Yu was very surprised by Shen An's choice.

Shen An said sternly: "A certain person is a human being, not a politician!"

Wang Yu said coldly: "You would rather cause trouble for yourself than be cruel?"

"yes."

Wang Yu shook his head and said: "Xi went to the academy. If there is any disharmony, just ask someone to go to the academy to find X. He will clean up the mess."

"Aren't you afraid of being affected?" Shen An smiled.

Wang Yu said calmly: "Just influence me. Anyway, I hate those idiots in the officialdom! I don't want to be an official."

This guy...

Shen An remembered that last time he was talking about when he would take the imperial examination and get out, and if he didn't get into the top three, he would not become an official. At that time, Wang Yu was full of confidence.

But he suddenly changed his stance, just to protect Shen An.

Shen An was in a happy mood, but after his method of handling was spread to the palace, Zhao Shu was a little puzzled.

"Let those people count the money?"

"Yes, the weather has been nice recently. The banker is going to scatter the copper coins to dry them out and change the ropes..."

Zhao Shu said in confusion: "When I was in the Prince's Mansion, I saw the stewards sitting under the big tree several times and counting money happily. Shen An asked them to count the money. Is it an expedient measure?"

"Probably." Han Qi said: "Stabilize them first, slow down, and then find a way to defeat them one by one. Your Majesty, do you still remember Shen An's military tactics when he was fighting in the northwest? He was as fast as lightning."

"I remember." Zhao Shu was excited when he mentioned this, "We captured several cities in a few days, which is exciting."

Han Qi stroked his beard. If Shen An was here, he would definitely say that this is Zhuge Liang's style. "The beauty of this art of war is that it lies in one mind. It can be fast or slow. It can be fast when it should be fast. It can be slow when it should be. It can be fast when it should be slow. Don’t be slow when it’s time to do it, don’t be too slow when it’s time to be slow…”

Zhao Shu was in a daze.

Zeng Gongliang and others were in a daze.

The servants were in a daze...

Han Qi finished talking about his opinions on the art of war, and finally said: "Obviously, you can't deal with officials quickly, so Shen An used a delaying strategy. How wonderful!"

There was a relaxed sigh in the hall, which made Han Qi very curious.

Zhao Shu was worried that he would continue to chatter, so he quickly said: "This matter is related to the rectification of officialdom. It is very important. You should pay attention to it at all times. If there is anything, come and report it at any time. I am here...Chen Zhongheng."

"Your Majesty." Chen Zhongheng came out.

"Go to the Imperial City Department and ask Zhang Baibian to keep an eye on those people and not slack off."

"yes."

Chen Zhongheng went all the way to the Imperial City Division and conveyed Zhao Shu's words.

"Someone knows."

Both of them knew that Chen Zhongheng was Zhao Shu's close friend, and he seemed to have great power, but Zhang Ba8en had been free and in control of the secret spies of the Song Dynasty, which was not bad at all.

The two most outstanding chamberlains in the Song Dynasty looked at each other coldly.

"This matter is important!" Chen Zhongheng said in a deep voice: "Shen An is trusted by officials."

Zhang Baba said coldly: "I have no intention of targeting him, so you can rest assured."

"Do you want to say that a certain person colluded with Shen An?" Chen Zhongheng was a little annoyed.

"You have been colluding to begin with." There was a ghostly fire in Zhang Baba's eyes. "The officials know it, the Prime Minister knows it, and they are just watching you mess around. But you must not let down His Majesty's trust, otherwise someone will definitely put you in a dilemma of life and death. ."

"We'll see."

Chen Zhongheng sneered and left.

Zhang Ba Ba ordered: "Keep an eye on Shen An."

A spy said: "You all know, shouldn't you be keeping an eye on those people?"

"That group of people... I have a feeling that since Shen An took over this matter, that group of people have become pigs. They are just waiting to be sold by Shen An. I guess they have to help him count the money."

…

Chen Zhongheng doesn’t think so anymore.

"In the official family, there are people behind those people. Shen An is afraid that it will be difficult for him to be independent!"

He took a risk and said nice things to his good friend, but what he got in return was punishment.

"Your Majesty said she wanted to go to the palace, so you went and tried your best to dissuade her."

What?

To dissuade the Queen Mother?

Chen Zhongheng felt like he was struck by thunder.

He went to Cishou Palace like a zombie.

Ren Shouzhong stood on the steps, "Hey! Isn't this Chen Douzhi? Come to pay your respects to the empress?"

Chen Zhongheng sneered: "Why did the empress leave the palace?"

Ren Shouzhong said calmly: "I miss my uncle and want to visit him."

As he spoke, he turned sideways and said proudly: "The officials asked you to dissuade me, right? Please."

Chen Zhongheng went in and later saw Queen Mother Cao who was practicing swordsmanship.

"Mother, there is danger outside."

Queen Mother Cao asked while waving her sword: "What's the danger?"

The light of the sword flickered, and Chen Zhongheng felt his legs weak.

"Shen An and the king made a big mess. Officials outside said they were preparing to clear out redundant officials. Many people were making a fuss, and some even said they wanted to stab Shen An to death."

"What does that have to do with Lao Shen?"

Empress Dowager Cao used her waist as an axis, turned her body nimbly, and used her strength to swing the sword.

This is the sword technique with inheritance.

My father said back then that those who wield a knife with brute force are fools, but those who use all their strength together are good ones.

It took her a long time to master this trick, and she felt that wielding the knife became easier and easier.

What kind of assassins are all just bastards in her eyes?

"Empress, those thieves say that the king is forming a party! There are Shen An, Wang Yu, Su Shi, Zhe Kexing... and uncle Guo. I am afraid that those people will implicate you... If so, the officials will be furious , the world will be in turmoil."

"Um!"

Empress Dowager Cao stopped and stared at Chen Zhongheng, "If you put it like that, I would rather go to the palace to experience it..."

"Mother!" Chen Zhongheng burst into tears, "My uncle is going to serve in the Palace Front Office. If you go out, those people will make noises and impeach my uncle, saying..."

"What did you say?" Queen Mother Cao asked coldly.

"They will say that this is collusion between the inside and outside of the palace...Chen Wan is dead!"

The surroundings became quiet.

Cao Yi was able to go to the palace because of Zhao Shu's consideration. The most important thing was that the Empress Dowager Cao in the palace gave him a lot of help.

It is not the emperor's duty to reciprocate favors. The emperor should take all these efforts as a matter of course.

But Zhao Shu was different. He had been outside the palace for many years and had some mental problems, so he valued friendship very much.

So Empress Dowager Cao and Cao Yi benefited.

And Queen Mother Cao was also a strange woman who knew how to distinguish between grudges and grudges, so when she heard this, she snorted coldly, "That's it!"

"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Chen Zhongheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Shouzhong sent him out and suddenly asked: "What if Shen An is stabbed?"

Chen Zhongheng glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Impossible!"

…

Behind the bank, Wu Xun was carrying copper coins.

After receiving a box of copper coins, he sat down and untied the rope, and then began to clean them one by one.

This job seems easy, but it is actually very tiring.

He bent over to inspect it and found that the patina was so severe that it needed to be separated and someone would take care of it later.

Each copper coin needs to be brushed with a brush, wiped with a cloth, and finally strung with a new string.

After just getting ten strings of money, Wu Xun felt like his back was about to break.

"Shen An did this little trick thinking he could stump us, what a dream!"

Xia Zheng was cheering everyone up while cleaning up the coins.

He gradually straightened his waist and even leaned back a little.

"We want... Ouch! Someone's waist!"

"Someone's back is very sore."

"When will this day end?"

"It is said that each person has to clear out a hundred guan every day before it counts. The ones that cannot be completed will be accumulated until the next day, and they will be accumulated all the time..." Du Lin slapped his waist with his backhand and said with a bitter smile: "Originally, I thought it was easy, but now It’s great to know that.”

"A hundred strings, you are trying to trick us!"

Someone started making noise.

"Who is tricking you?"

Shen An came in from outside, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net He pointed to the other side, where there were more than ten people cleaning out copper coins, "They have to clean out two hundred coins a day, what's going on? Are you more noble when you wait?"

Everyone was silent.

"Good job."

Shen An smiled and said: "The officials are watching you and waiting, the officials are watching you and waiting, and some people with ulterior motives are also watching and waiting, and they want to find some fault to impeach Shen. Shen is waiting. , if you feel tired, you can find a rope and hang yourself here, the blame will all be on Shen."

Well!

Some people wanted to make a scene, but immediately stopped after hearing this.

This Shen Broken Leg actually threatened to hang me!

"Those who know how to advance and retreat will have countless benefits." Shen An dropped these words and went out.
