Back Off, Let Me Come

"Going for a small job?"

The fact that Shen Tang's two incarnations are running around has not been officially made public, and very few people know about it. Even Xun Zhen doesn't know what Shen Tang [Zixu Wuyou] is doing. Hearing that [Wu You] opened a trumpet and went to the enemy country to find a job, Xun Zhen immediately thought of his master's family history, his eyes were bright and lively, "Wu You earns money..."

Xun Zhen was ruthlessly interrupted by Shen Tang before she could finish speaking.

"Hanzhang, just leave some for me."

How shameful that the leader of a country doesn't even have any private money.

Xun Zhen stopped laughing in embarrassment.

He said seriously: "That's not what I meant."

Shen Tang held the account book and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xun Zhen put on an upright and awe-inspiring posture: "Whether it is Zixu or Wuyou, they are both the incarnations of the Lord. Doesn't the accumulated inheritance also belong to the Lord? Aren't the subordinates he accepts in the future also the subjects of Kangguo? Since So, does the Ministry of Household Affairs also need to be involved in this matter of salary and national destiny? My lord, I will handle all matters in an upright and impartial manner, without any personal grudges!"

Every word is powerful.

If Shen Tang had never done this before, he would have been stunned.

She asked back: "Can the salary of the Ministry of Household Affairs be enough?"

The branch's accounts are independent, and the money in the account cannot be harmed by Xun Zhen. Otherwise, how can the new company be able to raise money? Shen Tang's few words silenced Xun Zhen. He had to give up for now.

Xun Zhen also knew that she couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.

No matter how much money [Zixu] and [Wuyou] make or how powerful they operate, as Kang State expands its territory, they will all be annexed and integrated by Kang State. The accounts and warehouses of the two places will fall into his hands sooner or later. When he thought of this, his eyes became more eager.

He seems to have seen a future that will never end.

Shen Tang: "..."

Xun Zhen came out of her reverie, remembered that the Lord was still around, and asked hurriedly with concern: "What errand has the Lord planned?"

Do you need help solving any problems yourself?

Shen Tang said: "Not bad, just a small county magistrate."

"You mean the county magistrate?"

With Xun Zhen's current status, the county magistrate does not have much weight, but [Wuyou] has no foundation in Qi State, and he can successfully take office just because of Cui's recommendation... This shows that Cui's reputation and connections in Qi State are indeed strong. Shen Tang synchronizes the day's experiences with the two incarnations before going to bed every day. The mental burden is a bit heavy, but the advantage is that the news is timely and there is no misjudgment.

She said: "The barren small county in the southernmost part of Qi State."

Thinking about the situation in that place, she sighed: "It doesn't matter what you want. Even Heyin County back then was better than it. After all, Heyin County was a poor place with unruly people. If you can't be influenced by reason, you can use your fists to turn unruly people into good people." . That place is awesome, there aren’t many houses within a hundred miles… There are miasma mosquitoes everywhere, and those cockroaches are as big as my hand!”

The few local people make a living by fishing.

There are many mountains and rivers, but few fields. Floods and plagues occur from time to time! The common people under the rule were all hungry and malnourished.

[Wu You] kept shouting every day to shake people over.

This start was even more difficult than the Ha Yin period.

He Yin was very poor during his period, but at least he still had his own people to help him. [Wuyou] On the first night after arriving at the destination, I checked into the abandoned inn where I stayed. As soon as I opened the door, there were several cockroaches rushing towards me. Shen Tang updated [Utopia] memory and had a terrifying nightmare that night of being overwhelmed by countless slaps of giant cockroaches.

Not fatal, disgusting.

Xun Zhen asked worriedly: "Is there only such a place?"

Anyway, I have gone through the back door, so I might as well pick a better place to take up my post. The Lord's temperament rarely expresses "bitterness", and he digests it by himself. Now he is vomiting bitterness, which shows that the place is really not good, and Xun Zhen feels distressed when he hears it.

Shen Tang said: "Oh, don't bother Ke Wu too much."

Who doesn’t want a fat chap?

The fatter you are, the more people will grab you and the more eye-catching you will be.

Shen Tang just wants to grow up quietly for two years, with as little presence as possible. It is not easy for Cui Hui to deal with her ex-husband. If he really helps her get a good job, he will be in trouble in the future. She has a lot of experience in starting a business from scratch, so she can survive the early stages of starting a business.

Xun Zhen didn't understand the situation in Qi State, so he couldn't give much advice. He said: "The domestic trading houses have contacts with various countries. We can put people inside and send some people there secretly for the Lord."

No matter how much experience you have starting from scratch, you still need manpower.

Shen Tang said: "I mean the same thing, but I can't make it obvious. I'll wait until I make arrangements. Kewu's ex-husband, the man named Cui Zhishan, is also a shrewd person..."

Putting the blame on Qi Shan will not solve the problem once and for all.

"...Pearls in Kang are very popular, and the supply exceeds demand. That area is suitable for cultivating pearls, and the quality is also good. I plan to wait until there is stability there, and then arrange for domestic trading houses to contact them for acquisitions and secretly deal with them." Cui Zhi is busy after all. The head of the aristocratic family, even if he stares at [Utopia], he can't stare at it all the time. Cultivating pearls boosts the local economy and brings together the population. One sells and the other buys. It is a normal business behavior, and Cui Zhi can't find any problems.

certainly--

The merchants who went to buy pearls had to be one of their own.

Regarding the candidates, Shen Tang had already made plans in his mind.

Xun Zhen said: "We can also support ourselves."

Isn’t this robbing one’s own business?

Shen Tang smiled and said: "So we need to open up more markets."

Famous ministers and celebrities are said to be able to bring fire diamonds, and naturally they can also use similar methods to bring fire pearls. Because of the brothers Gongxi and Qiu, pearls have always been popular in Kang State, and the supply exceeds demand. If the market of other countries is opened up, Kangguo can also resell pearls.

Using the pearl business as a cover, you can also make a fortune.

Shen Tang pointed his finger at the table, thinking about the plan, and said slowly: "That place is also suitable for growing rice, but it is difficult to open up the land, and it takes time to cultivate high-quality grain. Alas, I want Lin Feng to change his vest to help me."

If you want to eat enough, Lin Feng, this big baby, is indispensable.

[Wuyou] at least got started here, [Zixu] is more unrestrained, completely a tour group of bully natural enemies, wherever they go, they go to do chivalry and justice, and specifically look for trouble with local bullies and rangers. Relying on fists, they also attracted a group of people, but I don’t know what the customs are there. After defeating them, more than one person pulled his hand into his crotch and pulled out a corner of his calf-nose pants.

The unrestrained and bizarre scene scared Xiahou Yu and Gu De.

[Disgraceful! ]

[You are disgraceful! ]

Xiahou Yu reacted and almost drew his sword.

In his opinion, the defeated party not only did not beg for mercy and surrender, but instead pulled out the dirty calf-nose pants, which clearly showed that they were unwilling to accept the defeat and wanted to humiliate others with the dirty stuff! It was no wonder that Xiahou Yu misunderstood. The calf-nose pants were used to wrap the back garden and the front root. One was stained with urine and the other was stained with feces. If the personal hygiene was poor, the calf-nose pants would be turbid in color and smell strong, which would make people sick at a glance!

Before Xiahou Yu drew his sword, the defeated party was dumbfounded.

He hurriedly stopped the action and waved his hands repeatedly.

[No, no... misunderstanding, misunderstanding...]

[Shut up, what misunderstanding is there? ]

The thief would not think that taking out the calf-nose pants meant surrender, right?

Haha, although it didn't hit, it was not far off.

The bully who dodged Xiahou Yu's sword but was kicked by the mule cried out in pain, kneeling on the ground and telling the truth aggrievedly. He really didn't mean to humiliate Shen Zixu Tang. This is what their knights do. The victor can get the defeated's calf-nose pants. Such a private thing, isn't it enough to represent the glory of the winner and the shame of the loser?

However, he is relatively poor.

He didn't carry a clean, unused calf-nose pants with him.

He could only take out the one he had used.

Most knights are rough people, and they don't really care about being dirty.

As long as this calf-nose pants carries a piece of victory, it's fine.

Xiahou Yu was dumbfounded, Gu De was speechless, and Shen Zixu Tang was disgusted: [... Are you seriously ill? ]

Collecting the calf-nose pants of the defeated, what a perverted hobby?

The bully said that this custom has a long history.

Well, it was brought by several powerful countries in the Central Continent.

It is popular because it makes sense.

Zixu relied on robbing the rich to help the poor and "collecting calf-nose pants" to expand his scale little by little. It was a mixed crowd, and people from all walks of life gathered together. People who didn't know thought they were a bully group from somewhere! Zixu was preparing to find a place to live in Qiguo.

Alas, Zixu had people but no land, while Wuyou had land but no people...

The only thing they had in common was that they were both poor and poor in the same way.

Xun Zhen said, "It's OK to improve it in Kangguo."

The grain seeds were cultivated and taken to Qiguo for cultivation.

With the experience in Beimo, Kangguo could perfectly control the excellent traits of exported grain seeds from being passed on to the next generation, and the same was true for rice. Borrowing Qiguo's land to grow rice to feed its own people was not a loss. Shen Tang thought about it and nodded.

"Alas, this is the only way."

Countless thoughts flashed through Shen Tang's mind.

Uh, to be precise, countless black pots.

The origin of the grain seeds could be "framed" on Qishan, and as long as Cui Zhi was deceived, the Qiguo royal court would not intervene again. To put it bluntly, [Wuyou] was just a county magistrate in a barren land, with no more than 500 households under his jurisdiction, and large tracts of land within the jurisdiction belonged to the Cui family. How could the royal court have the energy to pay attention to this?

If the governance is good, it will benefit the Cui family and Cui Zhi.

Shen Tang and Xun Zhen chatted for a few more words.

Debt-free, the king and his subjects were in a good mood. Xun Zhen even took out the good wine he had hidden for two years and ordered people to prepare a table of vegetarian dishes to entertain the master. Without the master this time, how could there be a sponsor for Jimo Qiu? Xun Zhen said: "It's a pity that there is only one Jimo Qiu."

Shen Tang rolled his eyes: "How many more do you want?"

Xun Zhen smiled happily: "The more the better."

Shen Tang shook his head: "That's not good, one Jimo Qiu is enough, if there are more people who have so much money, we can only kill them one by one. The Gongxi clan is accumulated by our ancestors, what about the others? If there are too many, they are insects!"

"The master is right."

But he was shocked in his heart and worried about Jimo Qiu.

Although the master is usually eloquent, every minister can receive sweet love words of different styles, but this is only the king and his subjects. If it involves the boundaries between men and women, she not only has no string, but also is decisive and rational. I don't know whether to say that he is affectionate or heartless.

The king and his ministers sat opposite each other and had a drink.

When they had almost finished drinking, someone outside the tent asked to see him.

"Dayi and Wenshi came to see you? To urge you to pay the military pay?"

Xun Zhen had money in his hand, so he was not panicked. He changed his previous state of anxiety and invited the two to come in with a smile. He was about to say that the military pay had been prepared one after another to reassure the two generals, but unexpectedly, these two were not looking for him, but for the master.

Shen Tang raised his neck and drank it all in one gulp, and put down the wine cup.

He was surprised and said, "Looking for me?"

Zhao Feng and Xu Quan hesitated and looked embarrassed.

Xun Zhen was very perceptive. He knew at a glance that he was present. The two of them were not convenient to say, so they stood up and made room.

When Xun Zhen walked away, Shen Tang said, "Now we can talk."

The expressions of these two are not right.

Xu Quan made up his mind, his eyes were red, and he handed over the family letter with both hands.

Shen Tang read ten lines at a glance, her pupils trembling, and looked up at Xu Quan in disbelief, confirming again and again: "Wen Zhu's family letter?"

Xu Quan was about to cry: "That's right."

He guessed that his cousin had committed a heinous crime and had to take a risky move to protect himself, but this way was too wild.

With his cousin's many years of contribution to Shen Jun, except for treason, which cannot be forgiven, there is room for buffering for other things. At worst, all his military merits can be given up, and the safety of the Xu family can be guaranteed.

Shen Tang also thought of this.

She scratched her head: "I haven't heard that the Xu family has had any problems recently."

Although she fought on the front line for more than a year, she never relaxed her control over the rear, and she knew the movements of the court officials clearly.

After Xu Jie resigned as the governor of Heyin County, he entered Fengluo as a Beijing official, just to avoid suspicion and to facilitate the promotion of Xu Quan. He only sought a leisurely position with a top grade in the Ministry of Personnel assessment and played a soy sauce in the Ministry of Rites. Xu's business was handed over to others, but he was still the one behind the scenes, and he helped Shen Tang a lot over the years.

Everything about Xu's business was under Shen Tang's eyes.

Xu Jie was also cautious, and worried about repeating the same mistakes, so he strictly controlled the Xu family members: [Unless you have the ability to hide the truth and even the Censorate can't catch you, otherwise don't do anything that crosses the line. Once discovered, you will be expelled from the family! ]

Even Gu Chi only had some trivial criminal records, and he brought them all out to impeach Xu Jie. At most, he said that he was not a strict manager and fined him some salary as a punishment. Xu Wenzhu, who was so careful about his reputation, would make a big mistake? Would she not know if he made a big mistake? Shen Tang's heart sank, and he began to worry about Qin Li's situation in Fengluo: "I'll go ask."

Xu Quan kowtowed solemnly and said: "I am willing to..."

"Don't rush this matter, ask clearly first... There may be some misunderstandings here. Even if there is no misunderstanding, it's not too late to stop before it's too late." Shen Tang put away the family letter and was not in the mood to eat melons. Xu Quan also knew that she was in a bad mood, and asked to be confined. He would never go out before the truth came out.

Because the "Dingding" court meeting consumed too much energy, Shen Tang was too far away from the capital when he was fighting outside, and Kangguo had not used "Dingding" to go to court remotely for more than a year. All the documents in the court were delivered by the post stations within the country, which was much slower in efficiency, but it was more economical.

When the Wenxin seal was sent, Qin Li failed to react immediately. Realizing that it was the Lord's call, he responded immediately.

His incarnation appeared in a void space.

The Lord was already waiting there.

She asked: "Has the Xu family made any unusual moves recently?"

Qin Li was startled and shook his head: "No."

It has been calm all the time. If there is any unusual move, it is that Xu Wenzhu's troublesome cousin is clamoring to marry into Gongxi Chou.

Alas, the family is unlucky.

The family is unlucky, the family is unlucky, pointing fingers.

PS: It's another year of college entrance examination. I wish all candidates success in the exam and a successful start!
