What officials are most afraid of is not Diao Min and anti-thieves, but Ti Cai from Beijing.

Therefore, Qiu Zhixian rushed to the city gate as soon as possible, asked a few words and ordered to put down the basket, and after verifying that these people who came were really Jinyi guards, Qiu Mou hurriedly asked people to open the city gate and led everyone to stand respectfully at the entrance of the city gate.

There were only six Jinyi guards who came into the city, led by a small flag.

Xiaoqi is from the seven-rank official, and the county is the seventh-grade official, but the small flag does not take Qiu Mou, the magistrate, in his eyes, because they are the pro-army of the Son of Heaven.

Qiu's heart was shocked, and he didn't know why Ti rode to his Liyang County. Seeing that there was no one in the eyes of the brocade guard, he was even more worried, and he was very worried that the other party would suddenly find out the "driving sticker" and take him.

No, after the brocade guard Xiaoqi glanced at Qiu Mou a few times on the horse, he turned over and dismounted, and then handed a box to Qiu Mou.

"Liyang County took it, this was given to you by Father-in-law Wei of Jiangnan Town."

Qiu's hands trembled, and when he opened the box, he was stunned.

In the box, there were several silver tickets from Nandu Huitong Bank.

"This? …”

Qiu was very flustered, and he didn't take the box to receive it, and he didn't either.

"Liyang County is only required to go to the iron field in the afternoon."

After the little flag finished speaking, he got on his horse and left.

………

"Over the years in Liyang County, there has been hard work without merit..."

Gonggong Wei was kind and kind, and highly affirmed the "political achievements" of Qiu Mouzhi County for several years, and at the same time, briefly reported the matter of Liyang Iron Field.

"My father-in-law is really in great trouble for the people of Liyang!"

Qiu Mou knew on the road that there had been a big change in the iron field, and Xu Yuan, who had bullied him for five years, was killed, but when he heard it at this moment, he was still extremely excited.

You must know that under Xu Yuan's coercion, what he has done as an official is really a wretch!

"As the guard of Jiangnan, it is incumbent on our family to eliminate harm for the people! If you don't know, if you know but don't do it, our family is ashamed of Your Majesty, the country, and the people! ”

Father-in-law Wei's face was arrogant and upright, which only made Qiu Zhixian's eyes red: Zhenxian Temple also!

The father-in-law's words changed, but he said again: "However, although Xu Yuan is punished, the residual poison is still there, and Liyang County must sweep away the residual poison of Xu Yuan." ”

"Yes, yes, the lower official understands, the lower official understands..."

Qiu Mou's heart was very happy, just when he came to see the father-in-law of Jiangnan Town, all the Xu Yuan minions hidden in the yamen led by Qiu were arrested, and now the city is just some scoundrels who rely on Xu Yuan's forces every day, and it is very easy to deal with these people.

In this way, with the support of the Jiangnan town guard Wei Gonggong, he finally did a solid job as a county magistrate.

As for whether the Wei Mansion will retaliate, Qiu was worried, but he thought that he had been bullied by the Wei Mansion for five years, and no one gave him justice, and now someone finally stood up to support him, if he still did the pug who wagged his tail and begged for mercy to the Wei State Mansion, thirty years of hard work in the cold window would not really enter the dog's belly!

Soldiers can be killed, but they can't be humiliated!

Qiu Mou made up his mind and stood firmly on the side of Gonggong Wei in the future, anyway, in the current situation, he Qiu Mou must also stand in line.

Gonggong Wei was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Xu Yuan has been in trouble with Liyang for ten years, and has committed a number of crimes, but these crimes have to be reported to the imperial court by Liyang County, and they must not be concealed or exaggerated..."

My father-in-law once again emphasized the importance of seeking truth from facts.

Qiu Mou's face understood.

"In addition, our family only took back the Liyang Iron Yard, and the rest of the large and small mines and workshops in the county have to be handed back to the original owner, otherwise, our family will not be the same as that Xu Yuan."

"Huh?"

Qiu was stunned: Father-in-law Wei still has this kindness?

Of course, Gonggong Wei will not be kind for no reason, he is forming a united front.

The target of the united front is the former gentry and local tyrants who were driven away by Xu Yuan, forced to buy and sell, and their families were ruined.

You can't charge into battle without waving flags and shouting.

No matter how weak the voice is, it is still a cry.

"However, all the minerals in the world are owned by the imperial court, and although our family is the tax collector of the mines in the north and south of the river, we can't give the national minerals to others casually...... That's it, it's better to do this, Liyang County can tell those original mine owners on behalf of our family, and ask them to bid...... The one with the highest price will get it, and our family will not take a penny of the money, and it will be handed over to the imperial court in full......"

Gonggong Wei regards money as dung, and is dedicated to enriching the treasury for the emperor, how can he see the money?

Of course, he did not forget to instruct Qiu that in addition to the owner of the original mine, the gentry and virtuous people in Liyang County who are interested in mining can participate in the bidding, so as to show fairness and treat everyone equally.

Qiu stood up with a complicated mood and bowed to Father-in-law Wei: Father-in-law is really sympathetic to the people's feelings!

"You do it boldly, don't worry about it, but with our family, it won't make it difficult for you."

Father-in-law Wei personally helped Qiu to get up, "I can't make you work hard in vain, you can choose one of the mines, and our family can make an exception and sell it to you at a low price." ”

Oh?!

Qiu's eyes lit up.

……….

Three days later, Qiu Qianqi, the county governor of Liyang, presided over the "auction" of large and small iron mines and workshops in the territory.

Wei Gonggong got the final auction price, except for the Liyang Iron Yard, which was completely owned by the public and did not participate in the sale, the remaining small iron mines and several workshops in Liyang were finally auctioned at a price of 240,000 taels.

This price is relatively low, but considering the overall environment, my father-in-law can also accept this price.

Among them, there are six owners of the original mine and two new bidders.

In order to prevent the incident from being affected by the Wei State Mansion, which led to the failure of the bid, Qiu Zhixian came to the iron field on the same day to ask the Wei Gonggong to immediately arrange for someone to take the standard silver and handle the handover of the documents.

Father-in-law Wei refused on the grounds that he was taking the opportunity to blackmail and harming his reputation, as long as he made arrangements tomorrow.

Qiu Zhixian repeatedly persuaded the bidders on the grounds of reassuring the bidders as soon as possible, and finally made Gonggong Wei relent.

All of a sudden, the large and small carriages on the road were endless, loaded with gold and silver, and the soft gallop was endless, but there was only one direction, that is, the temporary office of the lieutenant guard of Jiangnan Town of Liyang Iron Field.

In this way, there are two new mine owners who can't get together the cash, Wei Gonggong took this into account, so under the persuasion of Qiu Zhi County, these two new mine owners bought silver with the conversion of 30% of the dry shares of the competing mines.

This matter reached the ears of the rest of the new mine owners, and they all said that the two were stupid, and this move was tantamount to luring wolves into the house.

But those two don't see it that way, but think that those who have paid all the money are stupid, after Xu Yuan's incident, haven't they learned their lesson?

Mining is a matter of huge profits, and without a backstage, how can you live in peace.

What else can be bigger than the eunuchs guarding Jiangnan Town?

In exchange for the "joint venture" of the eunuchs in Jiangnan Town, even if the Wei Mansion is unwilling to give up and will come to forcibly seize their property again, this matter is not as unattended as before, but can go directly to the emperor.
