Zheng Peng and Cui Yuan talked secretly for most of the hour, and then sent Cui Yuan away with a sigh on his face.

As the princes grew older, Li Longji's attitude towards the position of the crown prince was vague, turning a blind eye to the chaos in the court and the court, and even secretly indulgent, it was obvious that he wanted to hone the heirs through struggle, and when they inherited the Tang Dynasty, they were wiser and wiser, and did not let the courtiers sway, however, no matter how many princes participated in the struggle, and there was always only one winner, and the rest were destined to be only "whetstones", the fate of the loser was in the hands of the winner, and the fierce struggle could be imagined, Zheng Peng asked himself, who had been far from the center of the power struggle, and this time he almost became cannon fodder.

Zheng Peng was a little glad in his heart, he didn't deal with Li Ying, but he didn't accept the olive branch sent by Concubine Wu Hui, he has always been neutral, if he got closer to Concubine Wu Hui, maybe those gunpowder blew up his own carriage.

This demotion, it can be said that the demotion is just the right time, he can concentrate on building roads, and stay away from the center of right and wrong, Li Longji suspended his position under the instigation of Yang Chongli, it should be a moment of brain fever, when will he be reinstated, there is no news at all, even Cui Yuan has not received the news, he should have the intention to protect himself.

When sending Cui Yuan away, Zheng Peng was somewhat surprised to see that there was a long queue outside the Sanbao, all waiting to exchange vouchers.

This money ticket number also has to charge handling fees and storage fees, exchange it into the interest-bearing certificate of the Three Treasures, there are gifts, it is beneficial to take the money, and you are not afraid of accidents, who is not happy?

"Hello uncle." Huaien saw Zheng Peng and respectfully stepped forward to salute.

Zheng Peng asked curiously: "It's been so long, why is there such a long line?" ”

only made a voucher equivalent to 3.38 million guan, and not long after the beginning, Cui Yuan and Guo Ketang exchanged a total of 5 million guan, thinking that it would be completed in half an hour, but I didn't expect that I chatted with Cui Yuan for a long time and a half, and there was such a long queue in front of the door.

Huaien heard Zheng Peng's dissatisfaction, and respectfully explained: "Back to my uncle's words, the formalities are not troublesome, most of the guests choose to be anonymous, and they can fill in the information in a few breaths, but it is a little troublesome to collect money, and the copper money depends on whether it is full or short, for fear that someone will take advantage of the chaos, gold and silver in addition to weighing, but also to check their fineness, and the counter ticket is also checked to the counter number, and the transaction can be reached only after confirming that it is correct, so the progress is a little slow."

The money of the Tang Dynasty was mainly copper money, with a small amount of gold and silver, many people carried the money bag with a bag, and also used a carriage to pull it, and it was a little troublesome when counting the money, Zheng Peng saw a lot of gold and silver, full of dense tooth marks, because when the ancient people inspected the precious metals, they mostly bit it with their teeth.

Look at it also disgusting.

"How much did you redeem?"

"If you go back to my uncle, I have already exchanged more than one million guan, and now the speed has been accelerating."

Zheng Peng nodded, and quickly pointed to the long queue of people outside the door and said: "Those guests are not easy, we can't slack off, let people send hot tea, pastries or something, so that the people of Chang'an can see our demeanor." ”

"My uncle is kind-hearted, and the little one will do it immediately."

After Huai En retreated, Zheng Peng inspected the Three Treasures and found that the progress was not satisfactory, so he immediately transferred manpower and sent three more groups of people to help exchange, nearly 30 people were busy for most of the day, and finally exchanged the last voucher before the market closed.

The last voucher is gone, but there are more than 50 people carrying money waiting to be exchanged, after learning that all the exchanges have been completed, one by one is very disappointed, but no one dares to make trouble in the Three Treasures, can only sigh, Zheng Peng saw that they wasted half a day in vain to queue up, but waited in vain, and felt a little unhappy, let Huai En transport a cart of good liquor, and each person shared a jar, which appeased the emotions of those lost guests.

There are a total of 8.38 million yuan, and the money is piled up like a small mountain, which is a veritable mountain of gold.

Coupled with the 3 million guan promised by Li Longji, there are 11.38 million guan on the books, and Zheng Peng, who is a little financially tight, suddenly has a bulging pocket, and he feels like he has become rich overnight.

Can be splurged for a long time.

"Young Master" Shopkeeper Xu bowed to Zheng Peng, and said respectfully: "Thanks to the young master, this activity has been successfully completed, and now the market is about to close, and the rest is all trivial work, just leave it to the small one to deal with, and the young master can go back to rest early." ”

"It's okay" Zheng Peng nodded: "Send someone to send the money to the account tomorrow, and send copper coins, gold and silver are too messy, and it is inconvenient to buy and sell, so let people melt and recast, and uniformly mark the champion mark of Zheng Mansion, the weight should be sufficient, and the condition should be good, the second housekeeper, this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Cui Er hurriedly said respectfully: "The old slave takes the order." ”

When Zheng Peng returned home, Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er had already prepared their meals, just in time to enjoy a sumptuous meal together.

During the banquet, no one mentioned the matter of fundraising, but said some interesting stories about Chang'an City, and after the three of them slept together, the two daughters tried their best to serve, and they tossed until the middle of the night, and then they hugged each other and slept together.

.......

"Husband", "Husband", "Husband, wake up..."

When Zheng Peng was dreaming, he felt someone calling him softly, and occasionally gently stroked his face with his hand, as if Lin Xun'er was calling him, and squinted a little lazily and said, "What time is it, Xun'er, is there something?" ”

You must know that Zheng Peng's favorite thing is to sleep lazy, this Lu Shu and Lin Xun'er both know that if there is nothing wrong, they will definitely not beat themselves, Lin Xun'er will wake herself up, there must be something. ”

"When I first entered the palace," Lin Xun'er covered her mouth and smiled, and said in a low voice: "I didn't want to wake up my husband, but Li Linfu, the servant of the ministry, waited in the side hall for almost an hour, so I ......"

Although Li Linfu repeatedly said not to win over Zheng Peng to rest, Lin Xun'er saw that Li Linfu had waited for so long, and she couldn't help it, so she carefully woke up Zheng Peng.

Making guests wait too long is not hospitality.

Zheng Peng narrowed his eyes, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he yawned and said: "This Li Linfu, with a real nose, is simply a fly that specializes in biting rotten eggs, I guess it smells again." ”

Yesterday raised funds and raised millions of dollars in cash at once, and Li Linfu was in such a hurry to come to the door, nine times out of ten he was eyeing that money.

What Li Linfu thought in his heart, Zheng Peng was clear: complete the business as soon as possible, make a fortune as soon as possible, and make more money if you can, so as not to give up the project in the middle of the project, and then you will have no chance to make money even if you want to.

"What does the husband mean, this Li Linfu came to the door to ask for money?" Lin Xun'er said with some surprise.

"Hehe, you can't be wrong, this old boy, he is shameless for money, and he has long been shameless for money."

Lin Xun'er said with some indignation: "Husband, you obviously don't like him, why do you want to cooperate with him, and give him so much money for nothing." ”

Paper can't hold the fire, there is no impermeable wall in the world, after that turmoil, Chang'an City is well known, Li Linfu's reputation is discredited, what Lin Xun'er doesn't understand is that he is obviously very discussed, why do you still want to cooperate with him?

"A person, if you want him to perish, let him go crazy first, don't worry, everything is under my control." Zheng Peng said confidently.

Lin Xun'er looked at Zheng Peng a little stupidly, with rippling autumn waves in her eyes: I like to see Zheng Peng's persistent and confident expression the most, every time I look at it, I have a feeling of being fascinated.

It was just a momentary loss of heart, and soon, Lin Xun'er came back to her senses and whispered: "Husband, what should I do now, if my husband doesn't want to see him, the slave family will send him away." ”

People that Zheng Peng doesn't like, Lin Xun'er also hates them.

"If you don't come, you'll come, just see what he says." Zheng Peng whispered.

"The slave waits for the husband to change his clothes." Lin Xun'er said softly.

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Peng was in the side hall and saw Li Linfu leisurely sipping tea.

"I don't know if Li Shilang is here, I will miss the distance, so I will bear with me, and I will bear with me." Zheng Peng said with a smile.

Li Linfu immediately smiled and said: "Uninvited, there are many fights, and it is only right to be more forgiving than the singer said, polite, polite." ”

"Don't stand and talk, Li Shilang, please take a seat."

"General Zheng, please."

After sitting down, someone soon brought tea and pastries, and when Zheng Peng invited Li Linfu to enjoy it, he asked directly: "I saw Li Shilang's ruddy complexion early in the morning, and his eyebrows were smiling. ”

Li Linfu sat here and waited for almost an hour, he should have been very irritable, but when he saw him, he saw him smiling, as if he had gone out early in the morning to pick up gold.

Something must be wrong.

"Hahaha, it is said that General Zheng's pair of tricks is very powerful, but today it seems to be a little blind, there is a good thing, but a good thing does not belong to a certain person, but belongs to the general, and a certain is happy for the general." Li Linfu said mysteriously.

"I'm doing something good?" Zheng Peng's heart tightened, and he hurriedly asked, "Could it be that my official has been reinstated?" ”

Yesterday, I heard Cui Yuan say that two cases, one has become a headless public case, and the other has not been resolved, and the seven-day deadline has arrived today, will Li Longji want to reinstate his post, and Li Linfu specially rushed to congratulate him?

Don't, it's hard to live a few days of comfortable life, you can do what you want to do with your body and mind, Changluo Road is a bottomless pit, I don't know how much money to throw in, in addition to grasping quality and solving various problems, you have to find a way to make a little more money, after all, the money raised has to be repaid.

Zheng Peng was worried that he was going to be "reinstated", and his ministry messed up his plan, Li Linfu saw Zheng Peng's nervous appearance, thinking that Zheng Peng was very worried about his future, and sneered in his heart: Zheng Peng's position in the emperor is too heavy, so heavy that the emperor allocated money from the private treasury to Zheng Peng to build roads, and Zheng Peng is between the prince Li Ying and Concubine Wu Hui, obviously close to Concubine Wu Hui, the prince Li Ying does not want Zheng Peng to be reinstated, and some people propose to reinstate Zheng Pengguan, but the prince's line officials headed by Yang Chongli strongly oppose it, and Zheng Peng is poorly managed. On the grounds of leaking court secrets, he also shouted that Zheng Peng should be held responsible, and the Zheng faction and the anti-Zheng faction had a quarrel in the court, and the final result was quite intriguing: Zheng Peng was neither investigated for dereliction of duty, nor restored Zheng Peng's position.

Offended the prince, and still want to live a good life? That's a dream!

Li Linfu had already calculated it: first entrust Zheng Peng with a false snake, make a lot of money, and when this matter is over, he will wait for the price and sell, which side has the upper hand and which side, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, what if he wants to be ugly and smooth, and the real benefits are real.

"This..."Li Linfu said with some embarrassment: "The case of firearms leakage is too involved, and those two cases have also become headless public cases, the ministers in the court are arguing very much, and a certain person has the intention to say good things for the general, but it is useless, the emperor can't make up his mind for a while, and directly shelves it, so that General Zheng will be wronged for a while." ”

There are also advantages to not being reinstated, at least Li Linfu has a lot of confidence in front of the suspended Zheng Peng.

Zheng Peng was overjoyed when he heard this, and put it aside to suit his own intentions, but he said with some depression on the surface: "It's not a reinstatement, where does the joy come from?" Li Shilang made this trip, and said that there was a good thing, was he waiting to see my jokes, or did he deliberately tease me? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare" Li Linfu saw that Zheng Peng's face was a little happy, and hurriedly explained: "Reinstatement or not, in fact, it is a sentence from the emperor, there is such a big thing, stop and not withdraw, which shows the status of General Zheng in the emperor's heart, I believe that the emperor is just angry, after a few days, the anger will disappear, and the official reinstatement is a matter of course, a certain said that General Zheng has a happy event, in fact, the two cousins of General Zheng were both promoted, who in Chang'an City did not know that General Zheng loved the two younger brothers, and now they are both promoted, for General Zheng, Isn't that a good thing? ”

"Really?" Zheng Peng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Promoted?" What position to promote? ”

Li Linfu is a servant of the ministry, and when it comes out of his mouth, it must be right, if Zheng Wan and Zheng Li are promoted, it will be a great thing.

"Brother Zheng Wan was transferred to the palace director and deputy supervisor; Brother Zheng Li has been transferred to assistant teacher Taixue, and the appointment has not yet been made, but the Ministry of Officials is already operating, and I believe that General Zheng's two younger brothers will receive the order soon. ”

After a pause, Li Linfu added: "Some time ago, the Ministry of Officials did an evaluation of officials, and Lord Shangshu asked a certain Ministry of Officials to assist in handling it on the grounds of lack of manpower, which can be regarded as one of the evaluation panels, and slightly polished the two nephews on the assessment form. ”

Zheng Peng said excitedly: "Li Shilang is too righteous, this... This... Oops, I don't know how to say it. ”

The deputy superintendent of the palace is an official position under the sixth grade, and the assistant teacher of Taixue is also on the seventh grade, two positions, one in the palace and one in the prince's eunuch, are all important places in the Tang Dynasty, and if they are done well, the future is limitless.

To be honest, Zheng Peng doesn't think that the promotion of Zheng Wan and Zheng Li has much to do with Li Linfu, nine times out of ten it is a means for Li Longji to appease himself and entrap himself, Li Linfu should have inadvertently seen the news, so he shamelessly took the credit on himself, and then took the opportunity to make a request, and killed Zheng Peng and didn't believe it, Li Linfu rushed here and waited for so long, just to tell Zheng Peng a news.

There must be something else.

No matter what, Zheng Wan and Zheng Li were promoted, and Zheng Peng was happy for the two of them in his heart.
