Back Off, Let Me Come

There was a shortage of people in the government office, so Shen Tang also asked the Wang family's daughter to take the job.

The latter somehow became a member of the public family.

After hearing the news, the parents of Li and Wang came to inquire about the news.

Shen Tang explained with a smile: "I think the two ladies are intelligent and talented in literature, so I want her to be a clerk in the government office. It is just some leisure work, and it will definitely not burden the two daughters."

The head of the Li family said: "The common people have no such intention. You think that my little girl is a blessing to her. However, I am afraid that she is not suitable for being a female prostitute. I am worried that she has done something wrong and will affect the government."

The parents of the Wang family originally had this worry, but when they heard the parents of the Li family belittle their daughter in this way, they immediately became unhappy.

His eyes widened angrily: "What do you mean by a prostitute? He is just a literary official, how come my son is not suitable?"

The parents of the Li family did not expect to be brought down, and they almost burst into anger.

Is this old guy's brain stuffed with shit?

Do you understand what it means to be courteous for nothing, and to be either an adulterer or a thief?

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for new officials to win over local wealthy households, but no one has ever taken the initiative to arrange public jobs for the children of wealthy households! Is this a sign of flattery, or is this just a drunkard's intention?

Although civil servants have no real power, they have joined the government after all!

Serve the official bowl and eat the official meal.

Such a good thing comes to your door without any effort?

I don’t even think about whether there is such a good thing in the world!

Hehehe, there really is!

Not only did their daughter have a share, but so did they.

Shen Tang kept trying to persuade the parents of the Li family to rest assured, and even asked the two families to meet privately with the Wang queen. The words of Queen Wang were more effective than those of Shen Tang. After a while, the attitude of the two families changed drastically, and they no longer objected to Queen Wang becoming a civil servant in the government. The reason given by Wang's daughter-in-law is also realistic. She will have a son-in-law in the future, or two. If she were still a woman in the boudoir, how could she suppress her two sons-in-law and the eager relatives of her tribe after a hundred years of living with her two parents?

When I talk about fear, I can't help but shed tears.

The two ladies hugged their daughter distressedly, each one feeling wronged. The two fathers sighed repeatedly, and after summarizing, they had to admit that their daughter's worries were justified. After all, the son-in-law is a man, so they don’t know what a man is like?

It's good that the son-in-law has a conscience, as long as he eats soft food.

What if the son-in-law is a traitor but a loyal one?

The old ones pretended to be human beings when they were alive, but they kicked off their legs and revealed their true faces?

The husband-in-law who is too cowardly cannot protect his daughter, the husband-in-law who is too capable can easily harm their daughter, and there are also a group of clan relatives who covet her, so the daughter is in too much danger. Finding two sons-in-law to check and balance each other may not be effective. If my daughter can suppress others...

The two fathers looked at each other.

Acquiesced to this matter.

At the same time, he also acquiesced in Shen Tang's calculation.

They are not doing good deeds, they must have some agenda.

In fact, Shen Tang doesn't have many plans. If it goes well, it can benefit both families. She looked at the parents of the two families who came together and greeted the Li family's parents with a smile: "Your kindness to my little girl will be unforgettable by ordinary people. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."

The head of the Wang family looked at him blankly.

This rhythm is wrong. Why don't you try it out first?

Shen Tang smiled gently and harmlessly, and said confidently: "There is no need to send anything. I just want to benefit the common people and let everyone live a good life in peace and contentment."

The parents of the Li family asked, "I wonder what your plans are?"

Shen Tang's smile faded and he sighed deeply.

"To be honest with you two, I came from the royal capital with my retainers to avoid the fight. The troubles above are getting bigger and bigger. I'm looking at it coldly. I'm afraid the situation is not going well." She said. To be honest with the two of them, the two of them heard each other loudly. They did have some savings, but the little money they invested in the warlord struggle could not even hear a sound.

Doesn't the other party want to control their borrowing money and food?

It's called borrowing, but it's actually robbery.

Just as the two of them were sweating secretly, Shen Tang's words exceeded their expectations - Shen Tang didn't want their food or their money, he just wanted to use the connections between the two families. She has a connection in the northwest area, where the two companies can go and explore new markets, and the profit can be 50-50.

"Northwestern Kang Country?"

Shen Tang nodded: "Yes."

"The two places are so far apart, and there are so many dangers when doing business along the way. Even if the profits are considerable, the risks are also high."

The parents of the Wang family are more concerned about the content of the business.

"Can I take the liberty to ask, what is the way?"

Shen Tang smiled and said: "It's just salt, grain, cloth and silk."

Qiguo is not a big country in the central continent. Due to its geographical location, it can only produce a small amount of pond salt within its territory, and most of it relies on imports. In addition to official imports, the state even encourages merchants to purchase salt from various countries, and control over this area is lax.

The problem is that other countries are also short of salt.

Stable channels for purchasing salt are not easy to establish.

If it can be done, the profits will be very considerable.

The parents of the two families almost stared out of their eyes, breathing rapidly: "Are you telling the truth? There is indeed a lot of salt in Kang State in the northwest, but Kang State has strict control, and there is no way to get much... You see Look, how many avenues do you have?”

Shen Tang waved to the two of them.

The two of them approached cautiously.

She lowered her voice and said, "Sinong Shaoqing of Kang State is a relative of my family, and the Salt Pond Supervisor under him is her confidant. It is not difficult to get a share of salt blocks. The salt of Kang State in the northwest is famous for its good salt, even in the royal capital. The food of that group of people is also slightly inferior.”

Sinong Shaoqing is Shen Zhi.

In view of her ability in the field of science, and the responsibilities of Sinong Temple also overlapped with those of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Shen Zhi, a young minister, did not have much work pressure, and her reputation was greater than her real power. However, the outside world does not know these inside stories, so there is no problem in deceiving the two of them.

The two parents said in unison: "Seriously?"

Shen Tang: "Can this be false? If you don't believe it, I can write a handwritten letter and you can have someone verify the authenticity. However, if you have concerns and refuse to agree, I won't force you. Just find someone later.”

The parents of the Li family hurriedly stopped Shen Tang from continuing.

Cold sweat broke out: "The common people naturally believe you."

So, don’t ask anyone else about this first.

The two found an excuse to leave and went back to discuss it carefully.

Shen Tang is not afraid of their investigation.

It's strange that her handwritten letter cannot be mixed with refined salt.

Shen Tang was planning the way to go next step by step in his mind, and Gu De's voice came from outside the house asking for help: "Is everything done?"

Gu De said: "The people have almost gathered together."

If you want to strengthen your power, you must recruit troops. Shen Tang relied on the ranger groups he conquered along the way to raid bandit dens everywhere, and barely had a private army. These people are easy to get, but not easy to raise. Not only must we support them, we must also continue to recruit people. Shen Tang could only find a way to get some money from other places, create jobs and settle these soldiers.

Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will be wiped out before it develops.

Shen Tang must find a way to hide these people.

It is very suitable to do business with these two companies.

These people are all in their name, so the outside world won't suspect them, and the two families won't risk their lives to expose them. It's a great deal.

Their only daughter is in their hands.

Shen Tang said: "That's good."

Try to get 5,000 soldiers and horses within a year.

With five thousand soldiers and horses, it would be easy to turn around and take advantage of the chaos to annex the territory next door. The patron saint of Qi State, the 20th grade Chehou Hou, has passed away. No matter how tight the royal family is, there is no airtight wall in the world. When this thunder explodes, Qiguo will be destroyed!

Shen Tang is now waiting for an opportunity.

"Yourong, do you want to go and have a look?"

Gu De didn't understand for a moment: "What are you looking at?"

Shen Tang said: "Look at me."

She is really not bald, let alone bald.

Alas, it takes time to make a wig realistic, so her wig is still in the production stage. I didn’t want others to point fingers at my baldness, so I just shaved my head. Not to mention, the bald head is cool. The shortcoming is probably that it is too hot and the scalp will be a little hot. Shen Tang's proposal was rejected by Gu De.

He said: "I'm afraid I won't be able to get free time."

Shen Tang asked: "So busy?"

Indeed, I haven’t seen much of Gu De in recent days.

"Busily contacting my former classmates to see if we can find some people to come over." Gu De was a little worried since he knew the Lord's true identity. The stage of starting from scratch is undoubtedly the best time to cultivate feelings and consolidate interests. The man in front of him is already the overlord of the northwest. The advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also obvious to all - no matter how hard he and Zikuan catch up, it will not be easy to gain a foothold.

For the current plan, we can only contact more classmates.

Try to produce some results in the shortest possible time.

In the future, when the two parties merge, our own side will not be left alone.

Gu De did not express these thoughts clearly, but Xia Houyu understood them and acquiesced in his actions. Shen Tang saw through it without saying anything: "So you are a student from Quqing Academy? Will you be willing to come?"

Gu De said: "My lord, please don't belittle yourself."

Not to mention the size of Kangguo, even the current vest is about the size of a local official. With a stable place to stay, it is not difficult to recruit a few classmates from civilian backgrounds. Gu De went to inquire about the situation in Kangguo privately. The appointment of officials was very different from other regions, which was fatal to students who were restricted by their background. Coupled with Gu De's endorsement, recruiting people is easy.

Of course, Gu De didn't reveal Shen Tang's real vest, but told his classmates that she didn't know her background, and drew a picture for them of "five thousand soldiers under the tent". Gu De's eyebrows relaxed and he said with a smile: "Nine people have replied so far."

Except for the two who said it was too far away and had to serve their parents, the others said they wanted to come and have a look, examine Shen Tang before deciding whether to stay or not. Counting the time, replies from other people should be on the way. Shen Tang was stunned after hearing this: "So many?"

Gu De didn't understand: "How many?"

There are only a few people here.

Shen Tang raised his forehead and said, "I didn't get this kind of treatment before."

Qishan also sent a group message to his circle of friends, but a revenge-seeking Liao Jia appeared, and everyone else ignored him. A typical example is He Shu. He Shu disliked Qishan's lord as a short-lived ghost.

If He Shu had come back then and brought a congratulatory message, how could there have been the battle at Shangnan County? Shen Tang was able to knock Wu Xian's brains out earlier. Because of praying for kindness, Shen Tang always thought that it would be difficult to win over others.

Shen Tang spoke vaguely, and Gu De drew conclusions based on the context.

"It seems that colleague is not very popular."

He is still writing letters now. If Zi Kuan, who is more popular, also comes forward, he is at least 80% sure that he can call people over. Even people who already have a stable place to go will be willing to come over and give it a try. Gu De didn't do this, he just didn't want Shen Tang to misunderstand.

It is not good to have too many people from Quqing Academy.

It is easy for the Lord to create a sense of urgency to exclude her.

Shen Tang: "...Ahem, Yuan Liang's popularity..."

In a sense——

It's good to have so many enemies.

Shen Tang thought she had a deep understanding of "good popularity" until she saw someone with his family and children, running across two countries to seek refuge with Gu De and Xia Houyu, and she was stunned instantly. Listening to the self-introduction, this guy was originally a county magistrate!

No, isn't this how you classmates play?

What's more surprising is that this person was not called by Gu De.

Yes, Gu De didn't invite people here.

To be precise, one of the people who had to serve his parents felt guilty, so he wrote a letter to his good friend and strongly persuaded his good friend to give it a try. After receiving the letter, the good friend hesitated for two days, packed up his belongings, brought his family, and came all the way.

He came and complained that Gu De was not kind enough.

Why did he only write to others and not to himself?

Gu De was helpless: "You finally settled down, and I can't let you leave your hometown and go to a place where you are unfamiliar with."

The good friend pretended to be angry: "You are being so formal."

Seeing Xia Houyu, he smiled happily in the last second, and his face was heavy in the next second. It is no secret that Xiahou Yu had been tortured by laparotomy, but now he has regained his literary spirit and is surrounded by a literary aura, which is intriguing: "Zi Kuan, you——"

Xiahou Yu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more.

The good friend also understood, looked around, and said: "Where is our new master? Come on, introduce him to me."

Xiahou Yu said: "This is him."

The good friend looked down and saw a bald head.

The bald head raised his head, revealing a face that was obviously a woman.

The good friend: "..."

Is it too late for him to regret going back to be the county magistrate now?

Xiahou Zi Kuan and Gu Yourong can't be fooling themselves, right?

The students of Quqing Academy are probably like sweet potatoes. A shovel will produce a bunch of them, and the configuration is also balanced between civil and military. Not only are there families, but there are even people with hundreds of private followers, which is considered a local tycoon in a small place. They were willing to come because of Gu De and Xia Houyu. If Shen Tang could not convince them, they would leave.

Shen Tang was very confident about this.

However, she had to investigate these people first.

These people were also investigating Shen Tang.

Before the two sides could investigate each other, the appearance of a book caused a lot of waves. A young man dressed in literary and historical clothes held up a book bound in dragon scales: "Come and see what I got!"

Shen Tang looked up and saw something familiar.

He raised his eyebrows slightly.

Isn't this the biography of famous ministers and celebrities that Kangguo just put on sale earlier this month? How long has it been spread to Qiguo?

In this era where books are the main force, pure paper books are still relatively rare, let alone the luxuriously bound dragon scale books, which few people present have seen. Everyone was attracted, and Xia Houyu was stunned when he saw the first page.

Someone was shocked and murmured: "What kind of anti-text is this?"

[Kings, princes, generals, and ministers, are you a species! ]

The name of the preface is Kangguo Shen Tang.

Others don't know Shen Tang's true identity yet, but Xiahou Yu and Gu De know. Seeing the signature, the two looked at the master outside the crowd in tacit understanding. The latter smiled and waved, indicating that the two should continue to read and get to know their colleagues who have never met before.

The drama of the Wang and Li families in the previous picture was adapted from an ancient novel, so Tang Mei told the Wang family lady that the words she read were written by her family.
