Ruan Donglang's matter, Li Xun couldn't pay attention to it for a while, so he asked Fan Zhongyun to discuss.

"You should have made a decision in your mind, so why do you need to ask me?"

Li Xun said: "I want to hear your opinion. ”

"You don't need to consider my opinion."

Fan Zhongyun shook his head slightly, looked at Li Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Li Xun, my opinion is not important, the important thing is that if this matter is done, what benefits can we get?" If I had to put forward an opinion, my opinion is actually very simple, if it is good, do it, and if it is not good, do not do it. ”

Li Xun was silent, and after a while, he sighed: "The reason why I care about what Ruan Donglang said is not for myself, money or anything, you know, I don't care about it." ”

Fan Zhongyun nodded and said softly: "Li Xun, don't think about some things too complicated, just have a clear conscience." ”

"Let me think, think about it."

Li Xun leaned back, leaned back in his chair, and fell into deep thought.

Now Wuzhou, can be described as a prosperity, with the stone and the Jin, the full opening of trade between the two countries, a huge number of businessmen followed, brought great impetus to the place, but in the past two years, Wuzhou has been in constant turmoil, the damage is extremely serious, the population is withered, the foundation is weak, in March this year, the annual tax revenue of the three states of the entire Longyou West Road, a total of more than 350,000 taels, Li Xun left two percent for his own use, only how much? Seventy thousand taels only, although this number has greatly surprised many people, but as far as Li Xun is concerned, it does not have much effect, Li Xun has 20,000 troops in his hands, he has to eat and drink, and he has to pay military salaries, seventy thousand taels of silver, what can he do?

In fact, the current finances of the imperial court are also extremely difficult, and they can't take care of it, where is there any effort to take care of other places, Li Xun wrote to the imperial court several times, asking for money and food, all of which were brought back by Zhao Zhi, and let Li Xun solve it himself, there is no money and food, nothing, and he can't get any benefits from the imperial court, Li Xun's life can be imagined.

The previous suppression of bandits in Suzhou, and the subsequent rebellion of foreign people, Li Xun did get some benefits through the war, but this is only a part of the whole war, the reward of meritorious soldiers, the pension of soldiers who died in battle, and some other aftermath matters, are a large amount of expenses, in the end, Li Xun actually did not save much food, less than half a year, the little inventory in his hand, is exhausted, Li Xun himself does not know, this half a year, how he persevered.

What Ruan Donglang wants to get, it is not difficult to say, it is not simple, although the city port division is not under his own control, but as a transfer envoy and degree support envoy of Longyou West Road, he has a lot of official contacts with the city port department, and he really wants to help Ruan Donglang with an iron heart, Li Xun feels that he can still do it, but in that case, Liu Yu and others will be very dissatisfied with their interference in the government affairs of their city and port department, and there will be gains and losses.

Li Xun was a little impetuous, pulled Ouyang Li and Jiang Daxiong, and went out to relax.

"Why haven't you seen Niu Jin in the past few days?"

Suzhou suppressed bandits, Niu Jin successfully persuaded Liu Zhan, one of the bandit leaders, to make it as an internal response, open the walled gate, Li Xun with the lowest loss price, lay down Ye Shanhong's nest, Niu Jin can be said to be the first meritorious person, afterwards, Li Xun did not treat him badly, first named the captain, after the end of the Wuzhou riots, Li Xun mentioned him again, let him be a general, responsible for Zhao Wei's work, leading the Wu'an City patrol battalion, but the number of people from the original thousand, reduced to five hundred.

Ouyang Li said: "Niu Jin has been infected with the wind cold, and it has not been good for a while, and it became serious a few days ago, so I asked for leave to go home for treatment." ”

Ouyang Li is a person, taciturn, the whole person seems a little gloomy, and Niu Jin is the kind of self-familiar character, seeing people and talking about people, talking nonsense, people are very clever, but it is such two diametrically opposed personalities, they have become friends, Li Xun once asked Ouyang Li, why did he become friends with Niu Jin, Ouyang Li said, although Niu Jin is a slippery head, but people are still sincere, drinking with him, he talks little, does not speak, he keeps chattering there, in fact, it is not bad, he will not feel bored, came and went, and the two really became good friends.

Li Xun smiled: "This kid is quite hard, not bad, worthy of praise, let's go, let's go and comfort him." ”

Niu Jin's fame is extremely heavy, after being promoted and reused by Li Xun step by step, all the thoughts of the whole person are on the work, and the two ends of the three days are to go to the Governor's Mansion to find Li Xun to report to work, his actions, some of them are contrived, and they are too obvious, which causes many people to despise and reject, but Li Xun doesn't feel that there is anything wrong, there is a heart to work, that is a good thing, people who are too high may be able to get Li Xun's respect, but they may not be able to get his reuse.

Niu Jin is twenty-five or six this year, not a few years older than Li Xun, but he also got married early and had children, after gaining a firm foothold in Wuzhou, he took his wife and a son and a daughter, his brother-in-law who was a bandit, although he was severely pitted once before, but in this matter, he did not embarrass him, everyone has their own ambitions, let him go.

Niu Jin's home is not big, one in and one out of two rooms, Li Xun has no money in his hands, the treatment of the soldiers is not high, and the Lang generals like Niu Jin, who are in the sixth rank of official position, are still living a very shabby life.

In the yard, two children, the eldest is five or six years old, and the younger is only three years old, and the older sister is playing there with the younger brother.

When the two children saw Li Xun, they were a little timid, a year ago, when Niu Jin just took his wife and children over, he invited Li Xun to his home for dinner, Li Xun gave him this face, so Niu Jin's two children, Li Xun had met once, he remembered, but the two children of Niu Jin were so young, what can they remember? In a year's time, I am afraid that I have forgotten Li Xun, so when I see strangers, I will show a timid look on my face.

Li Xun squatted down, touched the heads of the two children, and chuckled, "What about your parents? ”

The little girl said in a milky voice: "Daddy is arguing with my mother, we don't dare to go in." ”

When Li Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, Niu Jin's wife Ma, he has seen it twice, although she doesn't look very good, but her temperament is very docile, she is a typical woman with a good wife and mother, Niu Jin is still sick now, as a wife, at this time, what is there to be noisy?

Li Xun stood up straight and said to Jiang Daxiong: "Daxiong, take the child to buy some delicious food outside, and come back by the way to buy some supplements." ”

"Got it, Boss."

Jiang Daxiong nodded, stepped forward to pick up the two children and put them on his shoulders, one on each side, the two children exclaimed, and then just hugged Jiang Daxiong's neck, with a cheerful smile on his face. 2k reading web
