Chapter 68 Clearing the Aftermath
Chapter 68 Clearing the Aftermath
Huo Guang was reluctant to go to the Valley of Hundred Flowers, it was full of women and children, and he thought that he was already old, so he should have some differences from those people.
When I returned to the familiar building, I looked east and west, and found that the books I didn't have time to pack up when I left were still spread out on the table, and even the page numbers were not bad.
The petals of the peach blossom that was inserted in the vase last year are gone, leaving only the dry branches in the vase.
Seeing this, Huo Guang couldn't help but smile, the servants in the family still remembered their living habits.
This place is only cleaned, and it will never mess up the decoration.
The wool felt on the bed looked new, the bedding was new, the pillows were fluffy, the windows were covered with white veil, the breeze was blowing, and the scent of lotus flowers was blowing in the nose.
The red carp in the lotus pot has not grown much, and the red carp of the same species, the same size, and the red carp raised in the lotus pond are now one foot long.
"Xiao Langjun wants to take a bath in the bathtub, or go to the hot spring pool?"
Chou Yong kept rubbing his hands, and stood at the door expectantly and asked Huo Guang.
Huo Guang glanced at the ugly Yong depressedly, this mother-in-law is crazy, she was at her mercy when she was young, does she need her to help take a bath now?
"Go to the hot spring pool."
"The hot spring pool is too big, so I brought the hot spring water and poured it into the bathtub to wash it cleanly."
"I've grown up!"
Huo Guang said gloomily.
Chouyong pouted and said, "How big can it be?" ”
Huo Guang's throat let out a bass sound similar to a tiger's roar, picked up the small wooden bucket that Chouyong had just prepared, pulled a sun-dried towel and went to the hot spring pool.
Comfortably soaking in the pool, there was a burst of ant-eating bone-like soreness all over his body, Huo Guang couldn't help moaning, and then slowly closed his eyes, the more uncomfortable it is now, the more comfortable it will be after a while.
The slippery hot spring water lapped against his chest, and Huo Guang was drowsy.
"If you dead fat man look at me so obscenely, I'll beat you."
Huo Guang didn't want to speak, but Zhang Anshi, who was squatting on top of his head, was too much.
"Ah, senior brother, I'm here to bring you snacks."
After Zhang Anshi finished speaking, he hurriedly put a large wooden basin on the water.
"Here is your favorite chicken cake, with honey twist, watermelon water also helped you squeeze it, specially added frosting and ice cubes, ice and sweet."
Huo Guang nodded, and after taking a dry towel from the basin to wipe his hands, he picked up a thick honey twist and bit it.
"Senior brother, you have to beware of that damn Jin Riyan, he is always revolving around the master these days, I think he seems to want to join my Northwest Institute of Technology."
Huo Guang said lightly: "He can't come in." ”
"No, the master seems to look up to him."
"I also look up to Jin Riyan, which doesn't mean that he is going to enter the door wall of my Northwest Institute of Technology."
"But ......"
"It's nothing, Northwest Institute of Technology doesn't even accept those noble children, how can it take in Jin Riyan?
You're thinking too much.
Fatty, let me ask you, has the total income ledger in Shuzhong been calculated? The master is about to hand over to His Majesty the share of the bank, and this matter must not be sloppy. “
"No, the income in Shu is too scattered, it is difficult to calculate, and there are multiple benefits involved in the middle, and it is difficult to get an accurate number.
However, the 60,000 gold handed over to His Majesty this year has been completed, and it will be handed over as soon as the time comes, and I will follow it myself. ”
Zhang Anshi saw that Huo Guang was comfortable soaking in the hot springs, so he also took off his clothes and jumped in, Huo Guang disgusted and let go to the side, one by one, he was a good young man, and now he has become a greasy fat man, which is difficult to accept.
"Tomorrow I will start practicing martial arts with He Lao."
Zhang Anshi hurriedly shook his head and said: "I have too many affairs, I'm afraid I don't have time, senior brother, don't worry, I will arrange it myself." ”
Huo Guang said with a smile: "Stop all the things you are doing, follow He Lao to practice martial arts during this time, and when you are almost slimmed, it is time to go to the Dasi Nong'er Kuan Mansion to propose marriage."
People don't look good, but if they get fat, they won't be able to see them. ”
Zhang Anshi shook his head and said: "yes, yes, that's it, she doesn't look down on me, and I don't like her."
What's wrong with a manly man being burly and stout? ”
Huo Guang smiled: "You're about to become an official, do you think officials don't need to talk about appearance?" ”
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "Be an official like a fat man!" ”
"Letting you lose weight is to improve the success rate, whether it is the success rate of being an official or the success rate of proposing, it is closely related to your appearance, and when the time comes, you will lose someone, don't blame me for being unkind to you."
"Why do I feel like I'm a cargo?"
Huo Guang swallowed a piece of chicken cake and said thoughtfully: "Actually, it's all about the same, if you want to get it, you have to lose some to balance." ”
Zhang Anshi said with a smile: "You asked me to lose weight, are you going to pull me out of the quagmire of Shuzhong accounts?"
To tell me the truth, is things really bad in Shuzhong? ”
Huo Guang nodded and said, "Shuzhong was originally only enough for ten people to embezzle, but now a hundred people come in at once, there will definitely be problems."
At this time, you have to make a trade-off, your impression of Shuzhong comes from the accounts, and I am the one who arranged this mess.
There must be a beginning and an end to doing things, and the Yun clan wants to grab huge benefits in Shu, but they don't want the troubles that follow.
Finding scapegoats and finding unjust ghosts is a gradual process, and we are about to retreat now, and we should clean up the footprints we stepped on when we entered. ”
Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "Since this is the case, I will deal with the joints between Guanzhong and Shuzhong, and you only deal with Shuzhong, so it is faster."
Now the atmosphere in Chang'an is very wrong, everyone is drunk and dreaming of death, as if there is no tomorrow after today.
The cleaner the tail of the hand is handled, the better. ”
Huo Guang pondered for a moment and said: "Don't clean it all up, leave some clues for people to catch, the cool officials of the Han Dynasty have a persevering heart, and they already subjectively think that they are not officials and are not greedy."
Suddenly a white and flawless one came out, and it would be too dazzling. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "Those things can be stayed? ”
Huo Guang sighed and said, "Copper! ”
"Too big, right?"
"It's so small that people will think we're making fools of them."
"Well, I want to control the quantity, keep it within the scope of greed, and not let people think that we are plotting against us."
Yun Lang was writing big characters in the study, which was a good way for him to calm his mind.
Huo Guang told him all the things that had happened after he entered Shuzhong, and even if Yun Lang was prepared, he was taken aback by what Huo Guang said.
I never expected that Empress Wei, mother, and Liu Ju would go so far, if what Huo Guang said was true, then, with the help of his mother and Empress Wei, Hanzhong, the place where Liu Bang relied to start, has become Liu Ju's personal empire.
And they are not satisfied with the fertile Hanzhong, and they are also infiltrating into Shuzhong.
The reason why Huo Guang exposed Liu Ju and his own corrupt behavior was purely to quickly pull himself out of the whirlpool.
On this point, Yun Lang and Huo Guang agree that the power of the crown prince can only come from his father, not from himself.
"What is given to you is yours, what is not given to you, you can't rob it!"
This sentence could not be more appropriate for Liu Che to say.
For a beast of power, any attempt to seize power from him is his mortal enemy.
The tiger may not eat its own son, but, dragon! Yes!
When Chu Wolf walked into Yunlang's study, Huo Guang was sitting on a chair reading a book, and Zhang Anshi was kneeling on a blanket to sort out some scrolls.
Yun Lang sat behind the table, gently tapping the tea bowl with the lid, none of the three people were in the state.
"Xie Changchuan's housekeeper Xie Yong, this person is going to die in an accident."
Zhang Anshi took out a scroll from the pile of scrolls and gave it to Chu Wolf.
"This person can't avoid it at all, right?"
Yun Lang asked softly.
"Can't avoid it, Qian Zhuang wants cheap copper, the disciple bribed this person and cheated Xie Changchuan, although the accounts are very flat, if this person turns against the water, we will definitely be found out and held accountable.
And the extra copper because it was cheap was repaid to the money bank at a high price, and the difference in the middle was very large, and we ate it all. ”
"How big?"
"Seventy percent profit!"
Huo Guang put down the book in his hand, frowned, and said, "Then you can't keep him." ”
Yun Lang nodded and said: "I can't stay, once he goes wrong, the involvement is too wide, the consequences are too serious, and it will even destroy the money village that has just been on the right path."
Chu wolf, you can do it yourself! ”
Chu Wolf took the scroll, looked carefully at the portrait on the scroll, confirmed that it had all been memorized, and returned the scroll to Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi casually tore the scroll and threw it into the burning brazier, and soon it turned into a pile of ashes.
