Just when the city of Tokyo was excited because of the improved varieties of potatoes, some people were looking sad. As an elected official, Wu Zhi had been waiting in Tokyo for a long time. Because he was a low-ranking official, he might not be able to keep his job as the Xinfan County Lieutenant.
Although he was not good at learning, he finally relied on Wang Qinruo, who had been the pacifier of Xichuan. He originally thought that he would never get ahead, but he did not expect to become the prime minister again.
In this case, it’s time for me, the county lieutenant, to move away from home, right?
I brought a hundred taels of gold with me this time. They were all money I had collected while in Xinfan County. Some of them were generally money from the imperial court. The former magistrate was too pedantic and always worked against me. Naturally, I should start from the fifth year. He fell off a cliff on the foot road and wanted to secretly report himself when he returned to Beijing to report on his work. Didn't he know that his spies were all over the county government?!
Since Zhou Tai is seeking his own death, it's not his fault for giving him a ride. As long as he moves away, then the big deal he had before will have nothing to do with him, right?
As the door was pushed open, Wu Zhi stood up anxiously and said, "Is there any news about Brother Yu?!"
The visitor shook his head slightly and said: "Today something big happened in the city of Tokyo. All the ministers and courtiers went to the summer harvest outside the city of Tokyo. Your saints and officials also went there in person. What do you think of me, a small minister in the palace?" Can you come closer to talk?"
Wu Zhi sighed: "Tomorrow, the survey and grinding documents will be sent to Zhongshu Province. The survey and grinding done by Yudi in Xinfan County last year was inferior, and Zhou Tai fell down five feet without death. The imperial court knows about this." Not to mention a county captain, you can’t even be a magistrate!"
"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place? Why did you come to be a low-ranking official? Didn't you have a bad relationship with Zhou Tai? He was despised by others, wasn't he?! His death has already been suspected by some in the court..." Yu E was slightly startled, looked at Wu Zhi suspiciously and said, "It has nothing to do with you at this time, right?"
Wu Zhi immediately looked at Yu Er in shock, his fat face full of grievance and said: "How can it have anything to do with me?! No matter how brave Wu is, he can't do such a thing!"
Seeing Wu Zhi's pale face and his trembling expression, Yu E curled his lips in disdain. He just asked him casually and frightened him into this. He was really something that couldn't be supported by mud. He didn't know what the relationship between him and Wang was. How did Xianggong meet.
Although he doesn't want to see Wu Zhi, Yu E will not be in trouble with money. He is just a matchmaker and a message by the way. Wang Xianggong still has to rely on real money to talk about it. Even if Wu Zhi and Wang Xianggong If you are old, these hundred taels of gold are indispensable, and you can get a commission from it, which is pretty good.
"So you can rest assured that you have Mr. Wang taking care of you. You only need to change places and be sent by a captain again. It's pretty good..."
"How can I still be a captain? Can I find a job as a county magistrate?"
"Knowing county affairs?! Why don't you take a look at where you were born and turn your military skills into a county magistrate with a literary background? How can such a good thing happen? Don't worry, I won't treat you badly. I'll ask a county magistrate to do it for you anyway. If you do it well, you may even be able to work as a bookkeeper in Chi County, and it will be a good career when the time comes."
Wu Zhi nodded repeatedly. Of course he knew the difference between Shangxian County, Zhongxian County and Chixian County. As long as he could leave that ghost place in Xinfan County, the hundred taels of gold would be worth it. After going to Shangxian County, he could quickly get there. Earn it back.
Seeing Wu Zhi nodding his head repeatedly, Yu E couldn't help but sneered in his heart. He was just a small county captain. What's the use of being the chief registrar? He was just a low-ranking foreign official?
It's best to take advantage of such a person. He has a small official position and a lot of money. He is willing to take a further step on an already insignificant road, just to give himself and Wang Xianggong an advantage!
The foot shop Wu Zhi chose was very suitable. It was on Baokangmen Street, not far from Wang Qinruo's home. Although it was in the outer city, as long as you passed Baokangmen, you would be at the south entrance of Madao Street in the inner city, where the Wang family was.
Although Wu Zhi does not have great talents, he still has such a little cleverness. He is thoughtful and careful in doing things. This is what Wang Qinruo thinks most about him.
Yu Er held the tea cup and looked at Wu Zhi with a half-smile. He looked at him until he was stunned and said: "Didn't you bring any local products and local rituals when you went to Beijing to stand for election this time? If you don't have something to give to others, how can you get into Wang Xianggong?
The door of your home?"
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in realization. He looked at the silent waiter standing in the room and winked repeatedly. The waiter took out a brocade box from under the bed in the room and put it on the table. Wu Zhi
Gently open the outer cloth bag and lift the lid of the box, and suddenly the golden light flashes, eye-catching.
One hundred taels of gold is neither too much nor too little. One tael of gold is ten guan of gold, and one hundred taels of gold is one thousand guan of gold. This is not a small amount, one thousand guan of gold is a million dollars!
Although Yu Er was shocked by so much gold, he still pretended to have a nonchalant expression on his face. He gently raised his hand to cover the box and whispered: "You are here waiting for the news. Don't be anxious. I
The officer will personally take your gold to Wang Xianggong's residence to make a statement."
Wu Zhi was overjoyed and bowed to Yue repeatedly: "Brother Yu, I would like to thank Mr. Wang for your support!"
Seeing Yu E swaggeringly walking away with the brocade box containing gold, the servant complained softly: "This is too ostentatious. I just took the money and left. I don't know if I can fulfill the master's instructions."
Wu Zhi turned back and said with a smile: "How else can I say that this kid like you will never be able to become an official? The reason why Yu E agreed so readily is because he must have been familiar with this matter for a long time. I was not the only one who asked him to have a relationship with Wang Xianggong.
There are many people seeking advice from him!"
"Oh! That's it. No wonder he didn't panic at all and didn't change color after seeing so much gold."
"Gold is nothing! As long as you have the power, how much gold can't be delivered to your door in person?! We have more gold, but it's not too much, and even less, it's not too much!"
The waiter looked at Wu Zhi and nodded repeatedly, "It's really like this. Wang Xianggong hasn't done anything yet. Didn't the master just hold the gold and send it over? This is a full hundred taels of gold!"
On the other side, Yu Er walked out of the door of the foot shop with gold in his hand and got on his carriage. One hundred taels of gold was not light. He was so tired that he was sweating. He gently opened the brocade box, and the fascinating color flashed in front of his eyes.
I touched it gently with my hand and felt so comfortable that I wanted to moan.
This is the first time I have seen so much money in my life. Who usually uses gold? At most, I use silver, or exchange it for copper coins, so that I can show off to my family when I get home.
Although Yu E was the Prime Minister in the palace and had an official status, the wife in the family was very powerful. Ever since he took in a concubine, Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Liu, did not give him a good look. There was no other reason. Mrs. Liu came from a wealthy family, so she
She is a direct bachelor of Longtuge and the niece of Liu Yu, a doctor in the Ministry of Justice.
Liu Yu is now the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, with a high and powerful position. The Liu family's status in the Yu family has naturally increased.
After returning home, Yu Er did not think about visiting Wang Qinruo overnight, but went to show off to Mr. Liu with a brocade box full of gold...
