In the director's hall of the transfer envoy department, Xu Ping held a hand stove and kept flipping through the accounts on the case, without raising his head for a long time. Not far from the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, Yang Xue and Chong Shiheng shuttled between the various divisions, dealing with various miscellaneous matters in a low voice.

What to convince Yan Shu? Xu Ping only has this solid economic data, and there is really nothing else. If you want to use all kinds of interests to win over Yan Shu, you can't think about it, even Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng can't pull Yan Shu to their side, why should Xu Ping!

Yan Shu was fifteen years old as a prodigy, don't look at his age, but his qualifications can't be older. As long as he himself does not cause a great disaster, no one in power can do anything to him, and the most remarkable thing is idleness. It is precisely because of his transcendent status that Yan Shu basically does not participate in the dispute between the government and the government, at most he promotes capable middle and lower-level officials. During the Tiansheng period, he was demoted from the court because of his opposition to Zhang Qi as a privy envoy, which taught Yan Shu a deep enough lesson.

Putting the stove on the desk, Xu Ping leaned back in the chair and rubbed his forehead.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is really not easy to convince others with economic data in this era. What exactly is wealth? Different times have different answers. In these years, countless gold and silver can be regarded as wealth, huge copper coins can be regarded as wealth, pearl and jade incense medicine can be regarded as wealth, and the silk silk in the past can also be regarded as wealth. But all this has nothing to do with the operation of the economy, the commodity economy promoted by Xu Ping requires capital to remain in the chain of the commodity economy as capital, and the wealth generated is not directly manifested in the usual form. With such wealth, it is somewhat difficult to convince others.

It is precisely because such wealth remains on the books that only the operation of the commodity economy will be revealed, so Lu Yijian will think that it is a false account, and there is nothing to write off. But I don't know that the numbers on this account represent the labor of hundreds of thousands of people in Jingxi Road this year, and once they are ticked off, the commodity economic chain established by Xu Ping will be uprooted. As long as the numbers on the books are solid, the chain of commodity economy can be turned, and more and more commodities will be produced in exchange for more and more copper coins. This is a completely different form of economy from before, where is it so easy to change the concept?

At this moment, Chong Shiheng hurriedly came in from outside and saluted before Xu Ping's case: "Du Cao, according to your orders, Zhao Yan, the governor of Ruzhou, Li Shen, the magistrate of Mengzhou, Li Ji, the magistrate of Fangcheng, and Lu Ge, the magistrate of Zhengzhou, have arrived at the post house outside the city. ”

Xu Ping straightened up, exhaled and said, "Okay, you send someone to tell them that I will have a banquet in Caosi tonight, and let them enter the city earlier." It's the same as last time, living in our yamen, and you don't have to settle down in the post house. ”

The world promised.

Xu Ping said again: "Tonight, in addition to you and Deputy Envoy Yang, I will inform Wang Tongju and come over together." At the end of this year, everyone is afraid that you will not be idle, if you have something at home, you must make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

Chong Shiheng said: "The eldest son of Xia Guan is an adult, and the family is taken care of by him, so there is nothing important. ”

Xu Ping nodded and asked Chong Shiheng to go out and get busy.

Wang Yaochen is about the same as Xu Ping, the family population is small, and his wife is enough to take care of him. Although Yang Xu's age is old, he only has one son, and he is counting on Xu Ping to be transferred back to the capital and recommend his son to take the academy, and the situation at home is even simpler. Among the few people, only the lowest official position is Chong Shiheng, who has many children and has a complicated family affair.

As soon as the sun had set, there was still a touch of red in the sky, and Zhao Yan and other officials arrived at the back office of the transfer envoy.

In the pavilion in the garden, in addition to the fire channel, a few pots of charcoal fire were lit, and they were burned warm. It's just that the cold wind is biting, and people who sit in it are hit by the cold wind from time to time, and they shiver.

As other officials practiced, they would use a curtain to enclose the pavilion, and the cold wind howled outside, but it was warm as spring inside. In the past, Kou Zhun liked to drink this way for a long night, with large candles lit in the curtain, and the drinkers did not know day and night, and they had to drink until they didn't know who was going to stop. Xu Ping doesn't like that kind of confined space, and would rather burn more charcoal than surround the curtain, which is a habit.

Everyone saw the salute and sat down as guests. ‘

Xu Ping saw that Zhengzhou Tong sentenced Lu Ge to sit at the bottom, and said to him: "Lu Tong is sitting in front of him, and it is easy to talk when he is close." ”

Lu Ge was a little embarrassed to stand up, moved his seat to the front, and thanked Xu Ping.

Because he once resisted Xu Ping with Sun Wei, Lu Ge was always weak in heart when he came to such occasions, and habitually sat in the corner. Xu Ping didn't have any guilt in his heart, it was normal for the imperial examination scholars to promote each other in the same year, and Xu Ping did the same thing, not only invoking Wang Yaochen to Henan Mansion, but also promoting Zhang Dayou's official a few days ago.

Compared with Sun Wei, Lu Ge's personality is relatively peaceful, and he does not have such a strong ambition. I helped Sun Wei once, and if I failed, I didn't mention it again. Chen Yaozuo, the governor of Zhengzhou, was very concerned about Xu Ping's reforms, and he was the mediator, and Lu Ge slowly joined Xu Ping's small circle in the past two months.

Lu Ge Huzhou, when he was a child, he raised a boy test, and Ma Liang, who knew Hangzhou at that time, attached great importance to it, and privately told the general judgment of the presiding officer to let Lu Ge be relieved. As a result, the matter came out and Lu Ge knew about it, and said a word: "I am ashamed to be recommended for private reasons!" "Didn't participate in that year's liberation. Two years later, Zhongtianxi was a three-year jinshi, only sixteen years old, and he was the Tanhualang of that year.

The prodigy Yan Shu was born at the age of fifteen, and Lu Ge postponed a session of the Zhongchang Jinshi and was only sixteen years old, which is a demonic figure in the imperial examination. However, he did not receive Ma Liang's favor, which somewhat affected his future career. You must know that Lu Yijian, the prime minister of the current dynasty, is Ma Liang's son-in-law, and the eldest son Lu Gongxuan is also married to Ma Liang's granddaughter.

Everyone sat down, and Li Ji and Chong Shiheng had the lowest official positions and sat at the bottom. The official brought the wine and food, filled the cups of wine for everyone, and withdrew.

Xu Ping raised his glass: "It's rare for everyone to gather together today, and drink this cup to the fullest, let's talk slowly!" ”

After three rounds of drinking, Xu Ping put down the wine glass and said to a few people: "Use some vegetables and fruits, let's talk while eating." ”

I don't know when the moon has risen, and a cold glow sprinkles the earth. The cold wind was less, whimpering softly in the night sky, and it was still cold and biting on people's bodies. There are no birds chirping, no insects chirping, and the whole world is silent.

Xu Ping put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at everyone, and said after a while: "I called you here today to do a big thing!" ”
