Xiao County is not far from the capital, and Tao Weiran arrived just after Chu Qing had dinner, half an hour earlier than he expected.
Tao Weiran has gained weight again and is very rich.
Chu Qing happened to be squatting at the door, and Fu San was studying how to get two million yuan by exploiting the loopholes in Chang's law.
Tao Weiran must have gained weight, even fatter than when we first met, but the horse under his crotch was very thin.
This horse looks like a famous horse at first glance, and Fu San is a connoisseur. The horse's face is thin, the ears are short and compact, which means the liver is small, the four hooves are as stable and strong as wooden stakes, the muscles are well developed, and the mouth and tongue are red and bright and moist.
"What a good horse." Fu San praised him and went up to touch the horse's eyes. He felt that such a good horse would be a natural gift for a big fat man to ride.
Tao Weiran awkwardly turned over and dismounted, saluting Chu Qing.
"The lower official Tao Weiran has met the commander-in-chief."
Chu Qing went up and hooked Tao Weiran's shoulders: "We are all our own people, there is no need to be so polite."
Tao Weiran's smile was a bit forced: "My lord... you want to send someone to a lower official again?"
This fat man is so smart and has a delicate heart. He knew that something was up to him as soon as he saw Chu Qing's appearance.
Chu Qing laughed: "Look at what you said, what do you mean by messenger? Let's go back to the main hall and talk."
Tao Weiran suddenly stopped, turned pale, and exclaimed: "Sir, you are not going to take the official to the border, are you?"
Chu Qing was extremely surprised: "How do you know?"
Tao Weiran's face became even paler.
Xiao County delivers stones to the southern suburbs every day, and unscrupulous people go back and forth. How could they not know the news in Beijing? The news about Chu Qing going to the border has long been spread.
When Chu Qing was called by Tan Ma, he looked like the two brothers were getting along well. How could Tao Weiran not guess it.
"Xiaoguan..." Tao Weiran didn't even enter the Yamen, with a pleading look on his face: "Xiaoguan, can you not go?"
"I didn't say I had to let you go. I respect your subjective wishes and come in first."
Tao Weiran sighed and followed Chu Qing into the main hall with a sad look on his face.
The two of them sat down, and Chu Qing was very surprised: "Don't you scholars like to be proud, responsible and determined to be a scholar? Wouldn't it be nice to follow me to the border to make contributions?"
Tao Weiran said with a bitter look on his face: "Sir, the purpose of studying in a lower official position is not to make achievements."
"What's that for?"
"Be an official."
Chu Qing almost died from Tao Weiran's honest words.
Tao Weiran glanced at Chu Qing's face and didn't dare to breathe.
"No, you're only in your twenties. You don't really want to be a county magistrate all your life, do you?"
"No." Tao Weiran said seriously: "You can also return to Donghai to inherit the family business."
Chu Qing tried to establish a good outlook on life for Tao Weiran: "Why are you people from aristocratic families so unstructured? I also have a family business, with several workshops under my name, and a greenhouse in the southern suburbs. Why don't I go to the border as usual? Your family business
No matter how powerful you are, you are more powerful than me. What kind of family fortune do you have? You have a family fortune and a family fortune."
Tao Weiran said cautiously: "Three hundred and twenty shops."
Chu Qing: "..."
Tao Weiran: "Thirty-nine merchant ships."
Chu Qing "..."
"More than ten thousand acres of fertile land."
Chu Qing: "..."
"Seven thousand tenants."
Chu Qing: "..."
Tao Weiran gritted his teeth: "Sir, please don't force me to go to the border. If I really go to the border, I will go back and inherit the family business."
God, I was chatted to death.
Chu Qing looked at the chubby Tao Weiran and didn't know what to say.
"No, your family is so rich, why would you want to be an official in Beijing?"
"I don't want to inherit the family business."
Chu Qing was speechless again.
Tao Weiran added: "If you are forced to have no choice, you can return to Shangyun and inherit the family business."
Fu San lowered his head and asked, "Master, do you want someone to come in and beat him up?"
Chu Qing almost nodded.
This is not like running to Beijing to become an official. This is just to show off your wealth.
Tao Weiran plucked up the courage and said, "Sir, a tough melon is not sweet."
Fu San: "But it quenches my thirst."
Chu Qing frowned: "Don't you have any dreams?"
Tao Weiran sighed again, this sigh full of deep sadness.
This sigh could not be understood by anyone except Tao Weiran.
Seeing that Tao Weiran remained silent, Chu Qing shrugged.
He was not the type to force others into difficult situations, so he said helplessly: "Okay, then you can continue to be your county magistrate."
Tao Weiran was slightly startled: "Sir, do you really mean what you said?"
"As I said, I respect your personal wishes. If you don't go, I can't tie you up."
Tao Weiran fell silent and stared at Chu Qing with a strange look on his face.
"What do you see me doing?"
"Your Majesty..." A trace of struggle flashed across Tao Weiran's face, he kept biting his lips and asked again: "Aren't you angry, sir?"
Chu Qing smiled and said: "What do I have to be angry about? The border is not a good place. It is my own business to suffer the consequences myself. I have no right to ask others to suffer the same consequences as me."
"good!"
Tao Weiran looked excited and stood up suddenly: "Then I will take my leave!"
Chu Qing said angrily: "Would you like some food? There is still half a chicken left in the back hall."
"Stop disturbing your lord, I will leave immediately."
When he said this, Tao Weiran was very excited, fearing that Chu Qing would regret it.
Chu Qing yawned and waved: "Okay, bye."
Tao Weiran said nothing, turned around and left, running out of the government office at a trot.
Seeing the fat man leaving, Chu Qing sighed and continued to feel distressed.
When everyone adds firewood, Chu Qing positions himself as "poverty alleviation", rather than forming a team and then working in the border areas. He knows that he has no great ability, so he wants to form a small team, a small team for poverty alleviation.
After crossing the border, everyone worked together to make plans and try to change the current situation at the border.
But currently, only Nangong Ping can go with him, and Nangong Xi may not agree yet.
There is no shortage of generals at the border to lead the army in battle. In fact, every general at the border is capable of fighting, but they only lack the talents to manage the people's livelihood.
Seeing Chu Qing sighing, Jiang Yuesheng walked in.
"My lord, I will go with you."
Chu Qing couldn't laugh or cry: "If you go, what will happen to Qianqi Camp?"
"I don't know, but I want to go with you."
Chu Qing glanced at Jiang Yuesheng, who had a serious look on his face, and knew that Ergou was not joking.
Fu San rarely attacked Jiang Yuesheng and asked, "Why do you want to go? What can you do if you go to the border?"
"I don't know."
In fact, Jiang Yuesheng was just worried.
Ergou knew that he was not a smart person, at least not smart enough compared to the group of monsters around Chu Qing.
He knew that after Chu Qing went to the border, there was no one available.
Jiang Yuesheng knew the situation at the border very well. If he wanted to gain a foothold at the border, he had to show his true abilities. Chu Qing did not possess this kind of ability, which was most valued by the border troops.
And Jiang Yuesheng felt that he had this ability.
He was afraid that Chu Qing would be wronged if he went to the border.
This idea was very strange and strange. When he thought of Chu Qing, who had no power to restrain a chicken, after arriving at the border gate, he was surrounded by a group of big-bodied murderers who opened their mouths to scold their mothers and drew knives when they shut up. Jiang Yuesheng felt that his heart was filled with panic.
He likes to watch Chu Qing bully people, courtiers, and wealthy families.
But he couldn't bear to see others bullying Chu Qing, and those unreasonable generals bullying Chu Qing.
Fu San must be going to the border, but Fu San is a soldier, not a general.
Jiang Yuesheng is a general, not a soldier. He is confident that he can protect Chu Qing from some wind and rain.
This was what Jiang Yuesheng was thinking. When he thought that Chu Qing might be bullied by a group of unreasonable assassins, he wanted to go with Chu Qing.
"Thank you, Asheng."
Chu Qing shook his head: "In the court, there is the emperor, in the academy, there is Tao Ruolin, Qianqi camp, and you must be there. The three of you are in the capital so that I can leave with peace of mind. The three of you are indispensable, and the merchants
Our workshops, the fiefdom in the southern suburbs, the people we help together, everything we create, everything, is all due to your hard work, Jiang Yuesheng. You have paid no less than anyone else, so please help me, help everyone,
Protect all of this."
"Sir..." Jiang Yuesheng was extremely moved and choked with sobs that he could not speak.
