Chapter 8 Talents Ning Chen Wants 【7000,, follow up】
After Ning Chen invited Wan Hong to get on the bus, the carriage obviously sank a little.
"Boss Wan, you lose weight quickly and gain weight quickly." Ning Chen said teasingly.
Over the past month or so, Ning Chen and Fatty Wan have become very familiar with each other.
Fatty Wan has always regarded Ning Chen as his confidant.
Wan Hong patted his belly, which had become plump again: "That's just me. When I'm fine, I get fat even if I drink water."
"Boss Wan can still be fine. Boss Wan's shop is now the most popular shop in the capital.
I heard that Boss Wan’s semicolons are all over the border now.”
Ning Chen still knows a little bit about Wan Hong's situation.
After taking over the crown prince ceremony, Wan Hong's business really exploded.
In addition, without his biggest competitor Bai Renyuan, Wan Hong had almost no opponents in the capital.
Therefore, Wanhong's speed of opening semicolons is getting faster and faster every day.
Basically, a semicolon opens in two or three days.
In this situation where transportation is not so convenient, this speed is really not slow.
"Isn't this all thanks to your Majesty's blessing?" Wan Hong said with compliments.
"This is all your own business, don't involve me." Ning Chen declined.
After saying that, Ning Chen took out a 16,000 tael silver note from his pocket: "This is 16,000 taels, which is the price of the house and car. Even if I bought the house at the original price, I will give you a little advantage. The car will be discounted by 1
Qianliang, you will also suffer some loss."
Wan Hong saw Ning Chen taking out the money and quickly declined: "Master Ning, you just look down on the villain.
My business would not be as big as it is today without Mr. Ning’s strong recommendation.
Mr. Ning doesn’t want the dry shares I gave you, so how can I ask Mr. Ning for your money again?”
"One yard is another yard. I said before that I will buy it, so I will definitely buy it. Either you keep the money, or I will buy another house."
Ning Chen will know that free prostitution is not good, but he doesn't know if this system is a version purified by the river crab master, Gildo, who is a thief of rules.
Ning Chen had already said this, so Wan Hong could only accept the money: "Master Ning, you really make me feel ashamed."
"There's no need to lie about it. Just remember what I told you. Don't tell anyone about the money I gave you." Ning Chen warned Fatty Wan again.
I want to be a sycophant. Even if I don't commit corruption, I still spend my own money. Is this going to be spread out?
Wan Hong was silent for a long time, then suddenly stood up and knelt in front of Ning Chen: "Master Ning, I am not a human being, I should not harm you. Master Ning, please punish me."
Wan Hong said this suddenly, and Ning Chen was stunned. What, are you planning to take him to the Hongmen Banquet?
"No, no. Master Ning, I am indeed entrusted by someone to invite you to a banquet today. But it is not the Hongmen Banquet." Fatty Wan quickly explained.
"What's going on?" Ning Chen asked with a stern face.
Fatty Wan said: "Master Ning, the person I asked to invite Master Ning today is Lu Gao, the right servant of the Ministry of Revenue."
"Lu Gao?"
Ning Chen has heard of this name before, because during this ceremony, the two of them had contact once or twice.
In my memory, this is a person who dresses and travels simply, is polite to everyone, smiles to everyone, and is conscientious in his work.
When Fatty Wan mentioned Lu Gao at this time, Ning Chen could basically guess what the main topic of the banquet was.
It was simply because he would be responsible for taking exams next, so Lu Gao planned to make a plan in advance, hoping that he would show his favor.
Ning Chen has already prepared for this kind of thing, and Ning Chen also plans to take advantage of this opportunity to select some 'talents'.
"Master Ning, you are the one who really gets things done. But this Lu Gao is an out-and-out corrupt official.
I don't know about others, but the gift I sent him was no less than 300,000 taels.
For this ceremony alone, I gave him fifty thousand taels.
And as far as I know, he, the right minister of household affairs, relied on spending money to buy his way up.
And I also heard that this man also emptied the national treasury and turned the money from the treasury into his own money through a series of accounting.
…”
Ning Chen interrupted Wan Hong, who was speaking rapidly and excitedly: "Don't be anxious, speak slowly."
Wan Hong's speech slowed down and he told Ning Chen everything he knew about Lu Gao's series of corruption and perversion of the law.
After Ning Chen heard this, he had an idea.
Just when I was about to sleep, someone brought me a pillow.
Just when he was about to find a corrupt official, Wan Hong sent him a huge corrupt one.
Ning Chen really didn't realize that Lu Gao, who dressed simply, treated him politely, and worked conscientiously, could actually be a huge corrupt man.
If everything is really as Fatty Wan said, then Lu Gao's wealth is enough for him to die dozens of times.
The Dawu Dynasty's annual tax revenue was around four million taels. Lu Gao's wealth definitely exceeded the Dawu Dynasty's annual tax revenue.
At least Wan Fatty, who is worth millions, thinks he is not as good as Lu Gao.
"Come on, come on, get up and talk. How can you harm me?" Ning Chen enthusiastically helped Fatty Wan up.
In Ning Chen's opinion, this is definitely helping him.
After all, it is impossible for a corrupt official to admit that he is a corrupt official.
I really want to discover a few of them, but it’s actually not easy.
"Master Ning, I only found out after being entrusted by Lu Gao.
My lord, you will be responsible for the official examination next. I think this Lu Gao must be planning to deceive and corrupt your lord.
If I take you to see Lu Gao now, I will push you into a pit of fire.
You treat me like a close friend, but because of my own selfish interests, I got caught up in the injustice of you. I really deserve to die." Wan Hong refused to get up and knelt in the car, repenting angrily and painfully.
"You are not harming me, you are helping me." Ning Chen said to Fatty Wan.
"Am I helping you?" Fatty Wan looked at Ning Chen with a puzzled expression.
"You don't need to know too much about this. Once you arrive, you can do whatever you want, and I will do the rest." Ning Chen sat on one side and ordered Fatty Wan who was kneeling on the ground.
Although Fatty Wan couldn't understand it, now that Ning Chen said this, Fatty Wan felt that Ning Chen must still be sensible.
And Ning Chen, a shrewd person like him, how could he jump when he knew it was a pit of fire?
The carriage soon arrived at a medium-sized tavern called Ning'an Winery.
"Like a corrupt official with brains." Ning Chen looked at the place where Lu Gao invited him to dinner and had a very good impression of Lu Gao.
This kind of corrupt official with brains is the one who can achieve great things.
Whether he can stand for a long time and be invincible depends on Lu Gao.
【Event Selection】
[1, you turn around and leave without seeing Lu Gao, and gain 100 points of [Loyalty]. Subsequently, all evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points.]
[Two, you go to see Lu Gao and promise to recommend Lu Gao, and get 100 [佞] points. Subsequently, all evaluations related to the event will be automatically converted into corresponding reputation points]
"Sure enough, he is a big corrupt official." Before entering the house, the event selection came.
This made Ning Chen feel very happy.
Ning Chen felt that this time, his [Ning] point was absolutely stable.
Ning Chen had already thought that after he sent Lu Gao up, if no one reported Lu Gao, he would find a way to report Lu Gao anonymously.
You have to let everyone know that you have sent a corrupt official to the top.
Let everyone know how [sycophantic] you really are.
Ning Chen still didn't believe that he could clean up such corrupt officials.
When he thought of this, the corners of Ning Chen's mouth unconsciously raised slightly.
He showed an expression that said he had made a lot of money this time.
Wan Hong watched from the side and had the illusion that Ning Chen was more greedy than Lu Gao.
Of course Ning Chen is greedy, but what Ning Chen is greedy and what Lu Gao is greedy are not the same thing.
And whether Lu Gao was greedy or not, Ning Chen actually didn't care at all.
After the two people entered the wine shop, the waiter took them directly to the backyard, which was an independent courtyard.
The building is quite elegant and quiet, and it is a good place to mingle with others.
In the backyard, Ning Chen saw Lu Gao, who was wearing a long gown that had been starched until it turned white, without any decoration on his body.
Ning Chen sometimes couldn't figure it out. These corrupt officials pretended to be clean and honest every day. Aren't they tired?
Look at yourself, you live openly and openly in the best big house, sleep with the most beautiful courtesan, and sit in the most luxurious Masai, how comfortable you are.
"Master Ning, thank you for the honor." Lu Gao saw Ning Chen coming and quickly stood up to greet him.
Ning Chen pulled Lu Gao's hand even more enthusiastically: "I kept Lord Lu waiting for so long. It's my fault that I'm a lower official. If I had known that Lord Lu was such a person, I should've been serving the wine."
