However, the Xu family stayed up all night, and at midnight, the lights could still be faintly swaying.

Xu Chang was sitting at the main seat in the hall. Sitting below him were Xu Qian, Xu Yong, Xu Han, and Xu Fu. Everyone was sitting around. Xu Chang sighed and said, "Can this thing really succeed? Qian'er, are you ready?"

If you have obtained a military order, the matter is of great importance, and a single oversight may lead to catastrophe."

Xu Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Since I promised, I am somewhat sure. Dad..." Xu Qian thought for a while and finally said: "Actually, the reason why I took this risk is for the Xu family. Although the Xu family

It has been smooth sailing this year, but there is no foundation. Although I serve in hundreds of households in Jinyiwei, think about it, there are so many famous families in the capital, what do our Xu family mean to them?"

Xu Qian was silent for a moment, and then said: "So I thought about it. If we want to avoid being bullied, we must first have power. Dad is now a hundred households. Although he has a little power, it is just that power bullies the common people.

That's all. If you really want to meet an opponent like the Xie family, you have to be careful. Xie's good deeds have been ruined by us. He will definitely plan revenge at this time. In this case, it is better to fight for it. Besides, I have already planned this matter.

, as long as we can unite as one, we can do this."

He glanced at Xu Fu and others, and continued: "At that time, Xu Fu and his cousins ​​took the opportunity to come to serve as dad's right-hand man. Cousin Xu Fu is cautious and a master of financial management. Cousin Xu Lu is hard-working and may not be good at anything else, but he can do errands."

Such things can be done. As for cousin Xu Shan... he is practical and can be entrusted with important tasks. If the Xu family wants to gain a foothold in the capital, everyone must have errands and be rewarded together for their merits.

Even if we have, at least we can share it with each other."

Xu Chang was still hesitating, but Xu Fu and others became excited and said one after another: "What my cousin said is that we are all in the same spirit. What is there to be afraid of in this world? As long as we are given something to do, we will go up mountains of swords and seas of fire.

Don’t frown either.”

They had been holding back too much in this courtyard. Although there was no shortage of food and clothing here, when they saw Xu Yong, Xu Han and the others wearing fish suits and knives, they had long been jealous of them. Now they heard that Xu Qian had accepted a job.

A place where I can be productive is something I really want at this time.

You don’t come all the way to the capital just to live and die. Everyone is here to fight for a future. Otherwise, others will return home in glory and return to their clan. When people ask themselves how they are doing now, you can’t just tell them about the capital.

The food is very good.

Xu Chang sighed, and then the fierceness in his bones started to flare up. He smiled coldly and slapped the table fiercely: "In that case, let's go ahead and do it. We who came from the Xu family are poor and humble, are we more afraid of death than others? It's done.

, the whole family is rich and noble, but if the matter cannot be accomplished, how can we still lose our heads? Qian'er, please tell me the details of your reselling the so-called imperial edict one by one. As a father, you should think about it carefully and see if you can modify it. "

Xu Qian nodded and expressed his thoughts in detail.

Not only was Xu Chang listening carefully, but also cousins ​​like Xu Han were also pricking up their ears. Sometimes during the middle of the lecture, someone would ask questions if they didn't understand, and Xu Qian would answer them one by one. Sometimes Xu Chang felt dissatisfied and would ask Xu Qian.

Qian shook his head: "You said that by being affiliated with the pro-military army, even if it attracts opposition from others, there is nothing you can do about it? Humph, Qian'er, you are still too green. There has never been a decent person in this world, and no one is a fool. You always

I think that others will be afraid of this or that, but after living for so many years, my experience is that if someone cares about you, they will do anything they can. You yourself said that if we do this, we will touch someone.

The interests of some people and taking away people's money are like killing your parents. If you kill other people's parents, do you think they will only rely on a few letters of impeachment to deal with you?"

Xu Qian thought for a moment and said, "What if someone comes looking for trouble?"

After all, Xuchang's life experience is rich, especially his experience as a low-level official, which makes him accustomed to the ugliness of this world, because in terms of fighting with others, he can be said to be the second best scholar here. Xuchang squinted and was silent for a moment

, Sheng Ruhongzhong said: "Actually, this is simple. If someone on the other side wants to take action, they will definitely come to test it first. At that time, we will have to consider how capable we are. Only by taking out the things at the bottom of the box can people be afraid."

Xu Qian understood, clapped his hands and said, "Father, did you mean desperate?"

Xu Changdao: "Of course it means fighting hard, not only fighting hard, the so-called fighting means putting yourself to death first, and then putting the small fish and shrimps released by the opponent to death quickly. Only in this way can you knock down the mountain and shake the tiger. But it is useless to talk about it now.

Just go ahead and tell me your plan."

Xu Qian nodded and continued to talk about his thoughts. It was not until dawn that everyone felt sleepy and took a hasty sleep.

At noon the next day, the imperial edict came from the palace. There were two imperial edicts. One was a secret edict for Xu Qian, while the other edict was for the preparation of the road administration bureau and the appointment of Xuchang and his son.

Xu Qian was stunned when he heard the words "Road Administration Bureau". He didn't expect that such a familiar word in later generations would appear in the Jiajing Dynasty. However, Xu Qian soon felt relieved, because his plan was really related to the road. In addition,

This organization is set up under the name of Jinyiwei Qianjun. It would be a bit inappropriate to have a road administration department like the experience department and the north and south town government departments. After all, Xuchang is only an official of one hundred households, and one hundred households will lead one department.

Not only is it a bad rule, but it is also too ostentatious, so setting up a bureau is more appropriate.

The so-called bureau actually means part. The Ming Dynasty had more bureaus but not many bureaus. This is because the unit of bureau is really not elegant, such as laundry bureau. I guess this was the consideration of Emperor Jiajing.

I want to make a big splash.

Xu Qian took over the decree, and the prince who came to issue it came up to him with a smile. He first said to Xu Chang: "Congratulations, congratulations, Xu Baihu is now in charge of the road affairs. Congratulations."

Then he smiled at Xu Qian and said: "You are like this at a young age. It's amazing. Even Eunuch Huang admires you very much."

Xu Qian said politely: "What did your father-in-law say? I wonder when my father-in-law came to Beijing? Hey, why don't you come over here so that you can teach students and pick you up with your father? That's all, let's talk about what you have to say inside."

The prince also became serious, nodded his head, and said: "Please."

The three of them entered the hall of the Xu family and took their seats. Eunuch Wang coughed, glanced at Xu Qian, and said, "Mr. Xu, is it time to take out the medicine in your gourd? What is wrong with the political situation here?

"

Xu Qian did not hide anything and said with a smile: "Promulgate the imperial edict."

The prince frowned, but he didn't believe it. This guy is so good at deceiving people. Even if the emperor trusts you again, he will never make such a joke. Is the imperial edict... such a reselling?

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xu Qian suddenly took out a gold seal from his arms and said, "My lord, please take a look."

When the prince saw it, he was immediately frightened. His legs went weak and he almost sat down. He kept saying: "This... this is the golden seal, is it your majesty's golden seal?"

The gold seal is actually not eye-catching, only as big as a small fist. What is engraved on it is not the seal of the emperor or the emperor, but the four characters Anlu Sanren. Of course, this is not a formal seal, but it is

It is the emperor's private seal. Although it may not have the same legal effect as a treasure seal, it represents the emperor after all, which is no small matter.

In fact, even if it is a treasure seal, it is not collected by the emperor. Most of the time, the emperor's seal is handed over to the inner palace yamen for safekeeping, so now taking out a private seal and handing it to the road administration bureau is actually nothing.

He still keeps the treasure seal. The current political situation is that the emperor's personal army is in charge. In fact, both the personal army and the eunuchs are the emperor's personal army and private slaves, so there is no taboo.

Wang Gonggong looked at the gold seal carefully, fearing that it would be damaged in Xu Qian's hands, and asked: "What is the use of the road administration bureau's gold seal?"

Xu Qian smiled slightly and nuzzled at Xu Fu beside him. Xu Fu took out a silk brocade-mounted paper from his sleeve and presented it to the prince.

The prince saw it written on it: Officials and other people along the way must not disturb him.

Eunuch Wang raised his head, looked at Xu Qian, and said, "What...what does this mean?"

Xu Qian sighed and said: "Do you know that the inner palace is difficult to sustain every year, and these emperors and emperors are not enough to cover the expenses of the palace?"

The prince knew about this. After all, he was a weaving eunuch. He nodded and said, "I know a little bit."

Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty is concerned about the welfare of the people. He heard that floods and droughts were happening all over the place, and refugees were everywhere, with no fixed place to live, so he felt pity. However, the palace could not make ends meet, but he could only say nothing.

, but your majesty also heard that there are some gentry and others who are concerned about your majesty's worries and think about your majesty. They are willing to pay tribute in money and food. Because the internal treasury is insufficient, they take out the money and food and rush into the palace, and then allocate it from the palace treasury to the four directions.

, to help the world."

Xu Qian paused and continued: "His Majesty was deeply touched by the righteous deeds of these gentry. He told the students that the emperor and the gentry jointly governed the world, and the gentry enthusiastically accepted the silk. His Majesty was also deeply moved, so he set up a road political bureau and appointed a commission.

Use the gold seal to award awards to those who have helped in charity."

The prince was confused after what he heard. Xu Qian turned many corners before he suddenly understood that the man named Xu actually encouraged the emperor to make money with the so-called "rewards".

Thinking of this possibility... the prince's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver.
