Ye Qingru pouted and said, "Brother-in-law, are you satisfied with only one hundred taels of silver?" It's not your style. ”

Yuan Fang raised his eyebrows: "Why, in your eyes, I'm so greedy?" I said yes, not the one hundred taels of silver, but the county governor himself. ”

Huo Bingyan asked puzzled while helping to clean up the table: "What do you say?" ”

Yuan Fang threw away the toothpick and explained: "What identity I am now, who doesn't know the entire empire?" The women pouted when they heard this.

Yuan Fang continued: "He only gave a hundred taels of silver to a big man like me as a gift from a county magistrate, what does this mean? ”

Lin Menghan stopped what he was doing and looked at Yuan Fang, who was there with the old god, and asked curiously, "What does it represent?" ”

Yuan Fang said unhurriedly: "It means that he really has no money." The women rolled their eyes in unison.

Yuan Fang continued: "Let's put it this way, it is not a bad thing for the empire that an official is not rich, whether he is capable or not, at least it can prove that he is not a corrupt official who is corrupt and perverts the law. ”

Xia Yi said disdainfully: "What if you are not greedy? Aren't you running to curry favor? Don't you want to have a relationship with your brother-in-law to climb up and get more power? ”

Yuan Fang shrugged: "I don't deny this, but is there anything wrong with this?" Let's put it this way, most people have a desperate desire for team power, and of course, there are not many people like me. The women were disdainful of Yuan Fang's boasting, and Yuan Fang didn't care, anyway, he was used to it.

Huo Bingyan asked suspiciously: "Brother-in-law, you don't really want to promote this county governor, do you?" ”

Yuan Fang pondered for a moment and said: "I have this idea, but I have to investigate it carefully, if he is really honest, even if he is not capable, it is no problem, but if he is only honest and honest on the surface, but in fact he is hypocritical, then it is another matter." ”

Huo Bingyan didn't understand: "Why? Just because of the hundred taels of silver? ”

Yuan Fang said earnestly: "Of course not, didn't I say it just now and it has nothing to do with silver." Bing Yan, the current form in the empire is not objective, although the power of the prime minister and the queen has been disintegrated, but there are still many people who are not satisfied with Yang Xing, and they are secretly making small moves, if it is okay in peacetime, it can be rectified slowly, but now there is no extra time for internal and external troubles, so I have discussed with Yang Xing, in troubled times, we must use an iron fist to get rid of those restless guys before the decisive battle with the Ningyuan Empire and the Yuanhe Empire. ”

Xia Yi and the others nodded in agreement when they heard this, and the style of a soldier is to be vigorous and resolute.

Yuan Fang continued: "The government affairs and people's livelihood of the empire need to be implemented by officials from all over the country, once those restless guys are eradicated, there will be a blank area where the government decree is not passed, and more people will be needed to supplement it at that time, which is why Yang Xing will select talents in advance of the imperial examination, but after all, those talents are all newcomers, and they don't understand many things, and they need to learn for a long time, so they need some experienced officials to take on heavy responsibilities." ”

Speaking of which, Xia Yi and the others had fully understood what Yuan Fang meant, and Huo Bingyan said, "So, an official like Jiaolei County can be entrusted with an important task?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "It's almost, in the end, whether he is entrusted with a heavy task depends on his ability, I just recommend it, I believe that Yang Xing will know how to make good use of people." ”

Xia Yi pointed to the one hundred taels of silver in the corner of the big tent and asked, "What about those silvers?" ”

Yuan Fang spread his hands and said, "What else can I do?" Handed over to the Imperial treasury as before. ”

As soon as Yuan Fang's words fell, the curtain was lifted, and Ren Fei came in with a smile and said, "What to hand over to the treasury?" ”

Yuan Fang looked at Ren Fei, especially the small cloth bag in his hand, and grinned, "How much?" ”

Ren Fei understood what Yuan Fang meant, threw the cloth bag on the table and said, "Fifty taels, what about you?" ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "I have more than you, a hundred taels." ”

Ren Fei rolled his eyes and complained, "This gap is too big." ”

Yuan Fang smiled proudly: "Almost, almost." ”

Ren Fei said depressedly: "Alas, forget it, don't worry about the goods, I'll put the silver here, and you can hand it over together." With that, he sat down and looked at the door of the tent.

Yuan Fang wondered and asked, "Do you still have something?" ”

Ren Fei glanced at Yuan Fang and said, "It's okay." ”

Yuan Fang was even more puzzled: "Then you don't want to go back?" ”

Ren Fei smiled and said, "I'll wait for someone." Yuan Fang and Xia Yi glanced at each other, all puzzled.

After a while, Yuqing came, and also brought a cloth bag, and before Yuan Fang could open his mouth, Ren Fei jumped in front of Yuqing, and couldn't wait to ask: "Yuqing, how much did you collect?" ”

Yuqing was taken aback, and said angrily: "What, you want to scare people to death when you are shocked." "Yuqing and Ren Fei are also very familiar with each other, and they naturally don't care about anything when they speak, and they are very direct.

Ren Fei said anxiously: "I'm asking how much silver the county governor sent you?" ”

Yuqing said angrily: "What's the matter with you?" Are you still going to sue me for embezzlement and bribery? ”

Ren Fei smiled and said: "How is it possible, Yuqing, I am a hundred people with your character, you are definitely not that kind of person." ”

Yuqing asked with interest: "Oh? You know me well? So what kind of person do you say I am? ”

Ren Fei was asked, and he didn't know how to answer for a while. Yuan Fang smiled and said, "Yuqing, don't embarrass this kid, tell me, how much silver did you collect?" ”

Yuqing opened the cloth bag, pointed to the three ingots of silver inside, and said, "Thirty taels." Ren Fei was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and then burst into laughter.

Yuqing looked at Ren Fei inexplicably, then turned her head and asked Yuan Fang, "What's wrong with him?" Crazy? ”

Yuan Fang grinned and said the matter, Yuqing was angry after hearing it, and said, "It's so annoying, why did you give me less money than Ren Fei?" No, I'll have to ask him. ”

Yuan Fang saw that Yuqing was coming to be real, so he hurriedly grabbed Yuqing and said, "You don't really plan to go to that county magistrate, do you?" I haven't heard of anyone talking about it because there are too few gifts. Yuqing thought about it, sat down angrily, and glared at Ren Fei fiercely.

Ren Fei is now balanced in his heart, according to the level, he is about the same as Yuqing, but the silver he receives is two-fifths more than Yuqing, and his vanity is quite satisfied.

Yuan Fang fiddled with the silver on the table and asked, "Ren Fei, do we have any information about this county in the dark?" ”

Ren Fei nodded and said: "I knew you would ask, I have already checked, this product has no big skills and no big mistakes, it is cautious, it is just decent, the family property is about three hundred taels of silver, and this time it is considered a bloody capital to give away more than half of it." ”

Yuan Fang nodded and said, "Oh, it's good not to be a hypocrite, in this way, write a letter of recommendation to Yang Xing in my name, as for how to arrange it for him to take care of it himself." Ren Fei nodded, he didn't think there was anything wrong with letting him look at it himself, but if other people knew that they didn't know what they would think, they actually let the future emperor watch it himself, this tone was too rebellious, enough to raid the house.
