Chapter 400： Have ulterior motives?

The wisdom of small people should not be underestimated, this is the insight of Lu Zheng's years of life experience.

In the big world, hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it is not only the people with high authority that are truly powerful. Whether or not a person has high authority, ability is only part of it, and talent is only part of it. In addition to ability and talent, there are many comprehensive factors that can create a top level. Strongman.

Dai Gao of the Dakang Dynasty claimed to be No. 1 in the world for conspiracy. Is that true? In fact, this is not necessarily the case, just because Dai Gao is in a very high position and is eye-catching, and his space for display of his talents is vast, so his ability is known to the world, hence the name.

There are many people who just lack opportunities. For Wang Wenyuan, the family was extremely poor when he was twelve years old and he didn't know a word.

Later, his parents died one after another, and he was taken in by a merchant to read a book so that he could learn a few words, learn to settle accounts, and then help him do business together!

Unexpectedly, Wang Wenyuan was excellent at reading and became addicted. The merchant who adopted him refused to let him study, so he read secretly, cherishing his talents in private school and exempting him from restraint.

He took part in the county examination at the age of fifteen and became a scholar in both the Houfu and the hospital examinations, and he became famous in the township. He was famous in the exam at the age of eighteen.

However, after the age of eighteen, he failed four times to participate in the test, until he was 30 years old, he entered the Northwest General's Mansion as a doorman, and then climbed step by step, waiting for the local vacancy to serve as the county lord Bo, Xian Cheng, low. Waiting for the county magistrate, in his fifties, he now serves as the county magistrate of Shatian County.

Undoubtedly, Wang Wenyuan is a powerful character. He grew up as a small person, climbed and struggled all the way, experienced the ups and downs of the world, and his grasp of the worldliness is very popular. In a small place, he has experience in the officialdom. Yeah.

Even a grandmaster like Dai Gao who came to this county office might not be able to easily defeat Wang Wenyuan. Lu Zheng knew this very well in his heart.

And Kou Xiangwen is no one to wait. This person is a merchant's family. It is incredible that he can be an official in a place other than Longyou.

However, Kou Xiangwen not only became an official, but also had a juren background. I have to say that in order to fight for this background, he has paid a huge price. At the moment, although he is only a Qipin County Cheng, from his background, it is very remarkable. of.

In the county office, how could Lu Zheng take such a colleague lightly, so he really respected Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen, there was no hypocrisy.

Originally, serving as an official and benefiting one party, according to normal logic, Lu Zheng came to be an official, as the people, as the court, and shared the worries for the emperor. It is imaginable and beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

As an outsider, Lu Zheng suddenly came to Shatian County. It is impossible not to change the ecological balance in the small county. Therefore, for Lu Zheng, he must first stand firm before he can talk about the so-called sharing of worries between the court and the emperor. To gain a firm foothold, this is a process of gaming, and things are by no means just a bunch of things.

In the officialdom, there have always been intrigues and constant disputes. Lu Zheng wants to implement his will in Shahe County and do it according to his own ideas. It is simply impossible at the moment. Wang Wenyuan will not agree, and Kou Xiangwen will not agree. Even the masters, Dianshi, and even the masters in the county government would not agree.

Lu Zheng single-handedly, alone, it is not easy to gain a foothold in this small county government!

...

After the day's errands were over, Wang Wenyuan returned to the back house. A beautiful maid served him tea long ago, and then waited for him to sit on a recliner and help him massage his legs.

Wang Wenyuan was in a good mood. He picked up the girl’s chin with his hand, and laughed unkindly: "Girl, I went to sleep outside individually today, and I will wait on the inside when I look back, okay?"

The girl's face flushed, but she nodded lightly, not daring to resist, Wang Wenyuan laughed strangely, just at this moment, a cough came from the door.

"Come in, filial piety!"

Master Chen Xiaojing, forty years old, looks personable and handsome. He walks in with a folding fan in his hand and walks in square steps. He bows respectfully to Wang Wenyuan and says, "Master!"

"Honorable, what did our little Lu master do today?"

"Returning to Master, Master Lu went to visit Lord Kou, and the host and guest had a very happy conversation, Lord Kou also personally sent Lord Lu to the door.

In addition, Lord Bo Cai and Master Dian Shi Wei have also met with Master Lu. Both sides have a good conversation, but Master Lu did not go to the county to study, and did not go to see Master Teacher..."

What Lu Zheng did all day, Chen Xiaojing said everything in detail. Wang Wenyuan closed his eyes and calmly listened without talking. After Chen Xiaojing finished speaking, the two fell silent and the room was very quiet. There was no sound.

"What do you think of Lord Lu?" Wang Wenyuan said weakly after some time. He didn't open his eyes, as if asking casually.

"Master, this Lord Lu has an extraordinary background. It is said that he is the son of a Jiangnan power sect. Before taking office in the capital, he was summoned by the emperor. The capital has long passed this story as a good story!

So I think that this kind of young man came to us for the purpose of tempering and tempering. After all, the power of Jiangnan has declined, and they want to make a comeback, and talents are the first. Master Lu was young and talented, but weak in his experience and lack of training. But this trip to the Northwest will allow him to harvest these things. What do adults think? "Chen Xiaojing said.

"Yeah!" Wang Wenyuan nodded softly: "You are right, and I think so. This is not a thing in the pool. It's just a joy in the county office.

Besides, our county doesn't have a lot of oil and water. He is afraid that he won't look down upon him like a pampered son, but Lord Kou seems to be up and down with this son, haha..."

Wang Wenyuan laughed, and Chen Xiaojing said: "Master, I think that since Master Lu is taking up his post, we should also give him a banquet. In addition, we will also take this opportunity to let him get to know the dozens of people from the county government."

Chen Xiaojing paused and said, "We used to have only one county chief in Shatian County, but now we have one more Master Lu. It is a good thing for you, an adult. There are two adults who will help you solve your problems. Good job? Do you think?"

Wang Wenyuan opened his eyes and stared at Chen Xiaojing. For a long time, he laughed and said, "He who knows me respects me! Have you seen Master Lu's gift to the old man?

Tsk, tusk, the best daughter red, brewed for 30 years, there are also dendrobium, liao ginseng, these are all first-class good things, he also knows me. "

Wang Wenyuan looked at Chen Xiaojing and said, "Honorable, do you know the gift that Master Lu gave to Master Kou?"

Chen Xiaojing shook his head ashamed: "Master, this...I really neglected this. I didn't expect it!"

Wang Wenyuan laughed again and said, "Look, don't you know? I tell you, Master Lu gave Master Kou the famous Wuyi tea, Jingdezhen Zisha tea set, how about it?"

"Oh hello, this Master Lu, he is not very old, but he is really careful and not leaking!" Chen Xiaojing praised.

Wang Wenyuan said: "So, although Master Lu is not very young, he is not a simple person! It just so happens that I have such talents in Shatian County. It is the blessing of all the people of the county. Master Lu came from the capital. As the magistrate of this county, I do not support him. Who will support him?

Honoring you, you are right. You should pick him up. Let me pass on my words. I will set a table in Wanhe Building tomorrow night. I will treat you personally. If you need someone from the county government, please come, and we will give it together. Master Lu takes the wind and washes the dust! "

Chen Xiaojing repeatedly said yes, but in his heart he thought that Lu Zheng would have an accurate date when he came to the county office, and Wang Wenyuan has never said anything about it.

I think that after Wang Wenyuan met Lu Zheng today, he felt that Lu Zheng was quite on the road and had a good opinion. Only then did Wang Wenyuan catch the wind with hindsight.

In addition, another aspect of receiving the wind may also want Lu Zheng to take on the role of dealing with Kou Xiangwen. After all, the most threatening to Wang Wenyuan among the county government is Kou Xiangwen. On the surface, this smiling tiger is respectful, polite, and secretly not fuel-efficient. The lamp, after he came to Shahe County, he wrestled with Wang Wenyuan openly and secretly many times, and Wang Wenyuan didn't have the upper hand.

It’s better now. The number of county prime ministers is still there. Wang Wenyuan can't stand up to the front and wrestle with Kou Xiangwen all the time. Let Lu Zheng, a young man, go up and raise a good opponent for Kou Xiangwen. It is best if the two cannot fight each other. If you live or die, Wang Wenyuan can mediate in the middle, so who dares to challenge the majesty of his county grandfather?

It's just that Lu Zheng is here for the first time, and he has come from a long distance, alone, and his strength is too weak. At this time, who will Wang Wenyuan not support him?

Chen Xiaojing wanted to understand this, and when he came out of Wang Wenyuan's courtyard, he took a high look at Lu Zheng in his heart. At first glance, Lu Zheng was a young man with a white face. It could even be said that the smell of milk was still young, and it would inevitably be contemptuous.

Moreover, judging from Lu Zheng’s performance, he is indeed like a son of a elder brother, coming to the county office to take up the post. He travels freely, not hurriedly, not in a hurry, as if he wants to continue to be him for another day. Like a son of a brother.

However, people can't just look at the surface, but also carefully tasting them at the subtle points. For example, when Lu Zheng gave gifts to two adults, Wang Wenyuan gave a good wine, and he gave top-quality wine. In addition, we also give away top-notch brewing herbs.

Kou Xiangwen likes to drink tea in an arty manner. He sent top-quality tea and also the number one purple sand tea set. This shows that before Lu Zheng took office, he had thoroughly studied the temperament preferences of the two adults. It was not rash at all. .

In addition, the things he gave were the hardest things to get in the Northwest. An altar of brewed daughter red, which has no market in the northwest, and the top Yuqian tea, although not as rare as good wine, it is also rare to buy. Arrived, so these two gifts are quite generous, and they can show the origin of Lu Zheng, a big man...
