Chapter 252

Zhang Zhou took Wei Wuyi's hand and said with a gentle smile: "it's normal to have contradictions. It's a good thing to expose internal problems earlier! Just like between the couple, it's normal to make noise and stumble. Some small contradictions also help the two people get along better. They respect each other like guests all their life, but they have points!"

"Your statement is really new. You are not afraid of being looked down upon when women quarrel with men?"

Zhang Zhou said carelessly, "I really didn't care about this. You can go to Hezhou to inquire about it. Women and children know that I'm afraid of my wife, but who dares to look down on me? I think people who know that they are cruel to their women look down on me!"

Wei Wuyi looked at him affectionately and said with a smile, "you are so young, but why do I feel you are so mature?"

"This may be my natural maturity!"

……

"Although there is no direct evidence, according to the analysis of the clues at present, those refugees should be brought to Longzhou by fuguitang!"

"The rich and noble hall almost sold out its own industry, and almost all the original people were dismissed. What are you going to do with holding these refugees to Longzhou so secretly?"

"If the affairs of the prince's residence are really controlled by the rich and noble hall, they must have a big plan!"

"I have talked to my teacher about this possibility, but without conclusive evidence, it is difficult to convince chaotang. Now the situation is delicate and extremely sensitive. I'm afraid if I raise this doubt, it will cause trouble!"

You Nanqi hasn't found any clues. Naturally, many things can't be determined!

"What are we going to do?"

"It's necessary to find out what happened in Fugui hall. They have done so much with great care. Their intentions are absolutely sinister. They can't let it go! I'll write to Longzhou and use all my strength to find people even after digging three feet. I don't believe these people can fly!"

"What do you do when you find someone? Will you hand it over to the court?"

Zhang Zhou thought and shook his head.

"It depends! If there is no use value, let the people of Fugui hall disappear completely!"

……

"Mei Changqing wrote that Tang hate has opened a little way. This is a good thing, but we must not make a big fuss, and we must not let the goods bearing in mind our Kyushu trademark circulate in the past. All trade goods are purchased from nanshizhou in secret!"

"I see! How's Beiyan?"

"There are both good news and bad news. In short, Beiyan is unstable internally, which is a good thing for me! Now the road is just open, and I dare not rush. If I have the opportunity to invest more in the future, the more chaos they have, the better. Even if we can't avoid the war between the two countries, it's better to delay for two more years!"

Wei Wuyi's experience is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary women, and the level of looking at problems is also higher!

"Do you think Beiyan will threaten the safety of Datang?"

"I don't know, but be prepared. Such a big Beiyan is definitely not a soft persimmon. It won't feel good if you let it bite back!"

……

Originally, Zhang Zhou asked Qiu Jun to have dinner together. Because Wei Wuyi came back and was anxious to accompany his wife, he pushed it off. After Wei Wuyi knew about this, she had to go to see Qiu Jun with Zhang Zhou. She felt that she must have a long-term relationship with the criminal officer of the criminal arrest Yamen. She couldn't be so negligent. Zhang Zhou had no choice but to agree because of Wei Wuyi's insistence.

Although Qiu Jun's official position has not changed after the disaster relief in Suzhou, he has gained a lot of benefits. The most important thing is to take the road of the crown prince.

He went to Beijing twice and visited Zhao Qiying. Zhao Qiying went out to meet him. This attitude flattered him and made him very clear that the most indispensable reason was Zhang Zhou! He believes that if he dares to offend Zhang Zhou, the crown prince will definitely take the lead in turning against him. Therefore, whether the "friendship" with the crown prince is firm or not depends on whether his friendship with Zhang Zhou can last long.

Although Zhang Zhou temporarily pushed off the dinner appointment tonight, which made him feel sorry, he didn't dare to complain.

With his status in Suzhou, how could there be no banquet in the wine bureau? He agreed to the invitation of a large family on a temporary basis.

The big family was in a hurry by Qiu Jun's temporary reply. They didn't dare to say it in a hurry. They had to make great preparations at home and strive to be rich. They didn't let Lord Qiu choose. They were busy. They had just arranged everything, and Qiu Jun arrived. Without waiting for a few words of greeting, Qiu Jun's ass didn't sit down. An attendant ran in and whispered in Qiu Jun's ear. Qiu Jun, who was calm a second ago, suddenly stood up and said to the big family, "sorry, there's something important, make an appointment again!" and hurried away!

The big family looked at the delicious food on the table and sighed. They couldn't cry or laugh. With a big hand, they called out their wives, children and family members. Whether they could eat it or not, they must eat it together!

Qiu Jun was even worse than the big family. He didn't even have time to prepare, because Zhang Zhou led Wei Wuyi to his house.

Qiu Jun ran into the living room and bowed to Zhang Zhou.

"Neglect! Neglect! Don't blame the marquis. I knew the Marquis would come. I would never dare to go out in a humble position!"

Zhang Zhou saw his apology and said with a smile, "I didn't want to disturb you tonight, but my wife didn't allow it. I'm afraid I'll offend you, a big man, and I can't afford it in the future!"

Zhang Zhou directly called Wei Wuyi his wife. Qiu Jun met Wei Wuyi once. At that time, he identified himself as Zhang Zhou's confidant. Now he has confirmed his identity! You know, the titles of concubine's room and his wife are absolutely different. Qiu Jun also knows that Zhang Zhou has two wives who marry in Hezhou at the same time, but he will never pick the word if he has nothing to do. Zhang Zhou says it's his wife, that's his wife!

"Madam, don't think so. You have to rely on the care of the Marquis after your humble position. Even if you have the courage, you don't dare to have such a mind!"

He turned and ordered his men to prepare wine and vegetables immediately, and Zhang Zhou didn't stop him. Wei Wuyi followed the princess and saw the scene. Just because Zhang Zhou lowered her figure doesn't mean she will be low. She is also calm in the face of Qiu Jun.

"It's really a pity to bother adults at this time. It's mainly my marquis. He feels close to adults and has the friendship of sharing weal and woe. He doesn't need to pay attention to those false etiquette, so he doesn't have so many scruples!"

Qiu Jun laughed.

"The Marquis is absolutely flattered and delighted that he can recognize this closeness and humble position!"

……

Although I have eaten, I still have to drink a few glasses of wine. After a few drinks, the conversation gradually entered the theme.

"I will continue to use the name of the ten thousand flag escort agency. I also think I don't want to arouse the sensitivity of the big families in the South ten prefectures. I will keep a low profile as much as possible. In the future, my wife will be responsible for everything in Suzhou. Lord Qiu will help me more at that time!"

"Don't worry, as long as you stay in Suzhou for a day, you can do whatever you want!"

"I will take office soon. What do you think of this Qin Jiang economic envoy?"

"Well, it's not difficult. As long as the Marquis takes care of the government, it's nothing!"

……

Zheng Yunhe, the chief official of the government yamen, is definitely a man who has experienced many battles in the officialdom of the Tang Empire. I dare not say that he is valued by the emperor in every way. At least in the official department, he is definitely a person who must be courteous to Lu Daiwen. Some even jokingly say that he is the first chief official of the government in the world.

If he has any amazing strategic means or excellent achievements in governing the place, no one can say clearly, but one thing can see its value. If a state has experienced a big storm and needs an official to be ordered to stabilize the current situation, Lu Daiwen will be the first to ask: "which state is Zheng Yunhe currently in?"

When it comes to Zheng Yunhe, Qiu Jun can't help laughing. It's not because of anything else. It's because Zheng Yunhe hasn't really done anything important since he came to Suzhou after the disaster, but he seems to have done a lot of things. However, he can't say one, two or three specifically. However, after the disaster, Suzhou did recover and develop very quickly. Zheng Yunhe contributed to this!

In Zhang Zhou's eyes, he never simply distinguishes between honest and corrupt officials. He cares more about his ability to work. Some officials are pretentious, extremely upright, boasting of having clean hands, or playing that kind of unfathomable, but the people are miserable. What's the use of such officials asking him? Zheng Yunhe's seemingly inaction means of governance, but it contains extremely clever techniques. He did not mobilize the public, did not waste people and money, and quietly made great achievements. No wonder he was so relied on by Lu Daiwen!

Let Zhang Zhou think of a poem involuntarily. Maybe it's suitable for Zheng Yunhe!

He should make good use of the identity of the strategic Yamen to seek benefits for himself. Naturally, he should improve his relationship with the chief official. In the past, it was inconvenient to contact openly in order to avoid suspicion. Now it has become a superior subordinate relationship, and it is time to meet him!

When breaking up, Zhang Zhou asked Qiu Jun to do something half public and half private. He tried his best to arrest two car shop bosses who might sneak back to Suzhou. After all, Suzhou is not a river state. Without the help of criminal arrest, some things are difficult to do. Qiu Jun naturally patted his chest and promised that he would go all out.

——————

Zheng Yunhe is nearly 70 years old and has long reached the age of "retirement", but he can't see any signs of aging and mediocrity from his appearance. His physical and mental state is completely equal to that of Qinglin.

For Zhang Zhou's visit, Zheng Yunhe showed due courtesy, not just not flattering, not loose or tight, just right, and won the essence of officialdom communication. As a result, this kind of neither hot nor cold, not close nor sparse, but made Zhang Zhou very helpless.

Seeing Zhang Zhou's unnaturalness, Zheng Yunhe smiled and let the others back out.

"The Marquis has a noble status. If there is anything wrong with me, please don't be surprised!"

Zheng Yunhe is not the kind of person who "has no mood". He still understands the relationship between officialdom and background and can take it seriously. There is no need to offend others for a little personality.

"Where, where! To tell you the truth, I'm a marquis. I don't have any facts. I haven't read a few books and don't know so many communication etiquette. If there's anything wrong, it should be me. Lord Zheng, don't be ridiculous!"

"Ha ha, the Marquis is really funny! I've heard some things about the marquis. I know that the Marquis doesn't like red tape. It's a good character, so I don't need to learn officialdom to get along with the old man. Just say it if I have something!"

Zhang Zhou nodded.

"Then I'll be honest!" after that, he stood up, took out the emperor's appointment and the order of the official department from his arms, and presented his hands to Zheng Yunhe.

Seeing the emperor's scroll, Zheng Yunhe also stood up, took it with both hands and read it carefully.

The Tang Dynasty is different from the Qing Dynasty in previous generations. It has respect for the imperial edict, but it can't reach that degree of worship!

"In fact, I already know the arrangement of the court. Today I see the will and official documents. Naturally, I won't do much. What does the Marquis intend to do? I'd better say it. I'll see if I can help you?"

The attitude is sincere.

"According to the official document, let me take over some state troops and government soldiers from Suzhou and Dezhou respectively, and organize a team of no more than 800 people for the deployment and jurisdiction of Qinjiang economic and strategic Yamen to eliminate the banditry in Qinjiang. I think 400 people will be transferred from each state to start the early training. Also, since it is clear that the economic and strategic yamen is under the deployment of Suzhou government, the materials and silver needed are not enough Adults have to worry a lot! "

"This requirement is not too much. Naturally, I will not embarrass the marquis. In the early stage, I will allocate 10000 liang of silver to the Marquis..."

"My Lord, ten thousand Liang seems a little less..."

"A lot, marquis! Suzhou seems prosperous and lively now, but chaotang has exempted its tax for one year! The formal tax collection has only started this year, and I can take 10000 Liang is the limit!"

"Alas, I know it's hard for adults, but without enough silver, how can I train soldiers? How can I eliminate water bandits? I'm afraid I can only live up to my grace!"

Facing Zhang Zhou's complaint, Zheng Yunhe remained unmoved and talked and smiled.

"That's your business, Lord. Besides, do you think your majesty and the imperial court can trust you if you say you can't accomplish anything because there is not enough money? Also, you should know what your majesty is feeling now. We courtiers can't count on the help of the top to solve everything?"

Zhang Zhou can't laugh or cry. He feels kidnapped by "righteousness"! Zheng Yunhe was right. Zhang Zhou shouted that no one in the world would believe that he had no money!

"Can I choose any soldiers of the State Army?"

"I have never been involved in the affairs of the State Army, so you have to find a way to appease General Yu Zhonghai!"

Zhang Zhou understood that he wanted to get cheap in front of people like Zheng Yunhe. It was just wishful thinking.

"Lord Zheng, to be honest, now I can't tell whether today's result should be happy or melancholy!"

"Hehe, it doesn't hurt. After a long time, the Marquis may understand that it doesn't matter whether an official is happy or not. As long as he doesn't block his heart, it's good luck!"

"Good luck! Eat chicken tonight!" Zhang Zhou couldn't help but answer.
