Qi Xiaobai looked at Wei Dexian beside him and asked, "If this matter is handed over to you, can you do it well?" ”

"If the bus is given to me, I will definitely do my best to complete it!" Wei Dexian clasped his hands into fists and said to Xiaobai.

Qi Xiaobai stood up, patted Wei Dexian's shoulder and said, "Don't live up to my expectations of you!" ”

Qi Xiaobai has wanted to cultivate this Wei Dexian for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity, but this time is an opportunity for Wei Dexian to show up in front of those children of the family, and slowly appoint Wei Dexian with official positions and powers.

"Minister, take the order!" Wei Dexian said with his fists clenched.

"Gonggong Wei will give you a copy of the data map of these families when the time comes, you can collect it according to the data map!" Zhang Tianshang said to Wei Dexian.

"Then there is Lao Zhang Shangqing!"

Three days later, Wei Dexian arrived in Qufu City, the central city of Yanzhou, which was the gathering place of the Great Confucian family and the center and headquarters of the Great Confucian family of Qi.

According to the data map given by Zhang Tianshang, Wei Dexian wanted to collect cattle from the Confucian family, the largest Confucian family in Qi State......

Camp Hill.

Qi Xiaobai looked at Zhang Tianshang next to him and said, "Shangqing, do you think this Wei Dexian can complete the task?" This is a battle on the front line! ”

"Didn't Gong want to cultivate this Wei Dexian a long time ago? This is the time to test Wei Dexian, if Wei Dexian can complete this matter, then the prince can naturally cultivate him in the future, entrust him with important tasks, if he can't complete it, then this Wei Dexian will not be able to take on the big responsibility in the future! Zhang Tianshang said to Qi Xiaobai.

Zhang Tianshang actually elected Wei Dexian, and he also knew that Qi Xiaobai had the intention of cultivating Wei Dexian, so he took this opportunity to let Wei Dexian make meritorious contributions, and in this case, Wei Dexian's future appointment will also seem natural.

After all, you have done it well this time, and next time you have something, I will definitely have to leave it to you.

Wei Dexian is different from Guan Zhong in Qi Xiaobai's eyes, Guan Zhong is a master invited by Qi Xiaobai, and Wei Dexian has been a confidant by his side since the beginning.

At the most critical time, Guan Zhong could not be trusted, but Wei Dexian, a henchman, Qi Xiaobai Jue could be entrusted to him.

"Zhang Shangqing is right, since the public wants to support this Wei Dexian, then you have to believe that this Wei Dexian can do this thing well!" Uncle Bao also said on the side.

Qi Xiaobai nodded: "What the two Shangqing said is very reasonable, this Wei Dexian can not be entrusted with important tasks, it depends on his performance this time!" ”

As Zhang Tianshang said, this is indeed an opportunity to see if Wei Dexian is capable, if he can't even do this thing well, then what can he do in support? Supporting someone who is incompetent is undoubtedly a waste of time and energy.

Qufu City.

"My lord, we have arrived at the Kong family, what should we do next?" Wei Dexian was followed by the top masters of the palace guards, a total of more than 1,000 horses.

Wei Dexian looked at the Confucian Mansion in front of him, it was very magnificent, comparable to the Qi Palace, and when Wei Dexian was about to enter, he was stopped by the doorman: "Wait, this is the land of the Confucian family in the world!" ”

"I know, I'm here to find Kong Qian this time!" Wei Dexian said to the doorman.

Kong Qian is the current head of the Confucian family, the seventh grandson of the founder of Confucianism, Confucius, and the leader of the Great Confucianism of the Qi State.

"Want to see Master Hou? Do you have an invitation? The doorman looked at Wei Dexian and asked.

At that time, after the Qi State annexed the Lu State, the Lu princes were all killed, but only the great Confucian families stayed, this is because, when the Qi State annexed the Lu State, it was these great Confucian families who responded to the outside Qi State and successfully annexed the Lu State, which was still a small tyrant at that time.

It is also because of the merits of these great Confucian families that they continue to hold hereditary official positions one by one, and as the leader of Confucianism and the representative of the Confucian family, he was awarded the hereditary title of Marquis by the Duke of Qi at that time.

And Kong Qian is the current 'Marquis of Lu'...... One of the few marquis of the Qi Kingdom.

"I have an imperial order from Duke Qi Huan, and I am here to convey Duke Qi Huan's order!" Wei Dexian said to the doorman.

Then Wei Dexian took out the expropriation order given to him by Qi Xiaobai, and the guards knelt down after seeing Wei Dexian take out the silk cloth and tokens that only the royal family had.

"Hurry up and report it, just say that Wei Dexian, the head of the palace, has something to ask to see!" Wei Dexian said to the doorman.

After a while, an old man walked out slowly, and after seeing Wei Dexian: "What did Gong Qi Huan ask you to say?!" ”

The old man is Kong Qian, Kong Qian is full of disdain when he sees Wei Dexian, their family Old Master Kong has designated the upper third class and the lower ninth class, and Wei Dexian is the last class, and he is the third class, so he is full of disdain for this Wei Dexian.

Even though this Wei Dexian is Qi Xiaobai's confidant, he is still a eunuch, he still belongs to the bottom stream, and he still looks down on him.

"Duke Huan has an order, the front line needs cattle, so I hope Lu Guohou can support some cattle!" Wei Dexian said to Kong Qian.

"Cow? Since the front line needs it, then the old man can't be too stingy, you say, how many heads are needed? Kong Qian looked at Wei Dexian and said.

"According to the regulations, as the Hou Ye and the head of the Great Confucian, you need to hand over a thousand heads!" Wei Dexian said flatly.

Kong Qian was shocked when he heard it, if it was only one head, or dozens of heads, he was still willing to give it, but the other party wanted a thousand.

Of course, a thousand cows can still be taken out for Kong Qian, after all, his family has been in business for seven generations, and his family background is still very rich, it is no exaggeration to say who is the richest person in Qi country, it must be this Kong family.

So Zhang Tianshang asked Wei Dexian to ask Kong Qian for a thousand, and he didn't feel embarrassed about this Kong Qian, but a thousand cows made the Kong family very expensive.

"What are you kidding? A thousand cows? Do you know how many taels a thousand cows are? My Confucian family has been an official for generations, and there is no corruption, where can I get so much money? Kong Qian glared at Wei Dexian and said. (One cow is equal to twenty taels)

"This is an order from above, if you say no, then we have to search the house and see if there is one!" Wei Dexian said lightly.

This is what Zhang Tianshang told Wei Dexian yesterday, and he told Wei Dexian that there must be a few families and the Kong family who are unwilling to deliver, and they will use some extreme measures when the time comes.

Of course, these people Wei Dexian thinks are from the great Confucian family, and he wants to copy their home, so how can he mix it up in the future?

However, Zhang Tianshang's words woke up Wei Dexian, you have no queen, and Qi Xiaobai wants to support him and be his backer, what is he afraid of these families? If he is afraid of the family now and the family in the future, then how can he take on the great responsibility given by Qi Xiaobai?

The reason why Zhang Tianshang is afraid of these families is because he has descendants, although he can deal with these families, it is inevitable that his descendants are not opponents.

After all, these great Confucian families have been operating for generations, let's just say that this Confucian family has been in business for seven generations, and he Zhang Tianshang's family, he is the first generation......

Zhang Tianshang is not a hereditary official position, he used to be a horseman next to Qi Lufu, and later Qi Lufu appreciated him and slowly promoted him, and later became the secretary of the court.
