In the second negotiation, although there were no government soldiers on both sides, for Tao Wenyuan, Guo Ke alone was better than thousands of troops.

What needs to be talked about still has to be discussed.

At the beginning, the two sides were locked in a heated dispute.

Wu Cripple is the inspector of the county government, how can he be detained by the Zhichong Mansion?

The city of cattle is a civil administration, and the Zhichong Governor's Mansion has no jurisdiction over it.

Even if the lawsuit is brought to the feet of the Son of Heaven in Chang'an City, it is also this reason.

Cui Geng took a different approach, slammed the table, and said angrily: "This matter is obviously the fault of your Wurong County Ya first, and Guo Duwei is concerned about the people of Li, so he acted angrily." If you did it on your terms, doesn't it mean that Guo Duwei is completely wrong? Where does this put my family's face? ”

Chen Ziang didn't give an inch, and sneered: "Don't bluff people with "Li Min". The army does not interfere with the people, it is the law of the Tang Dynasty, and Guo Duwei is wrong. If there is a mistake, it must be corrected, and as for his face...... What does it have to do with me? ”

Well?

Hearing this, Guo Ke's face darkened at that time.

"Two adults, calm down, calm down!"

Tao Wenyuan, who wished that the negotiations would end earlier, played the role of a firefighter in this matter, and actually started a round and said: "We have something to say, why don't we take a step back?" ”

Chen Ziang snorted coldly and said, "How to retreat?" Is Master Tao preparing to leave Wu Patrol in the Duwei Mansion? Or give up the cattle market? ”

Tao Wenyuan is worthy of being the master bookkeeper for many years, and Tao Wenyuan can really speak in the vernacular.

From the relationship between the county government and the governor's office, he talked about the difficulty of being an official. From Guo Ke's great future, when he talked about Cui Geng's personal fate, it can be called a bitter mouthpiece that makes people cry.

Cui Geng saw that the atmosphere was almost brewing, and said: "Okay, I listen to the persuasion of people to eat enough, I also understand the difficulties of the Wurong County Ya, and it is not easy to master Tao." I can agree to these two conditions. ”

"Huh? Really? ”

Tao Wenyuan was suddenly overjoyed, and said repeatedly: "Thank you Cui Changshi!" ”

Cui Geng waved his hand and said, "Master Tao, don't be in a hurry to thank you, listen to me finish speaking." We gave this face to the Governor's Mansion to your county government, but do you have to give us some compensation? ”

"Compensation? How to compensate? Tao Wenyuan was so shocked that his jaw fell to the ground, how could talking about it turn into talking about business? Do you want to make up for it?

He said quite entangledly: "It's not that I don't want to agree, but if it hurts the face of the county government, I'm afraid that our county magistrate won't be able to pass it." ”

Cui Geng said confidently: "Master Tao can rest assured, it will not damage the face of the county government at all." ”

Immediately, the first compensation he proposed was Wu Cripple's greedy ink gains a few days ago, and he had to hand over all of it to Zhichong Mansion.

Intercepting stolen money, that is the instinct of the old officials in the yamen, as simple as eating and drinking,

It's not that hard!

Tao Wenyuan didn't have to report this matter to Liu Youqiu at all, and he didn't even discuss it with Chen Ziang, so he agreed without hesitation.

The second compensation proposed by Cui Geng, the project of rebuilding the Inspection Division, was done by the Zhichong Mansion, which was a way for the Zhichong Mansion to apologize to the Wurong County Ya.

As for the Wurong County Ya, they should also repay the favor by providing a year's worth of food for the Zhichong Prefecture free of charge, reflecting the situation of the military and the people.

It sounds like the second condition, the county government is not a loss?

However, although Tao Wenyuan was in a hurry to complete the negotiation work, his IQ was not negative, and he suddenly remembered a very critical question and asked: "Who should bear the cost of rebuilding the Inspection Division?" ”

Cui Geng sneered and said, "Of course, there is money to pay, and there is a strong contribution." We folded a bunch of Qiu Ba in the mansion, but we have the strength to do it, but we don't have any money to spare. This silver thing, of course, is the Wurong County Ya. ”

Shameless!

It's just outrageous!

How could Tao Wenyuan not understand the flower head in this, is there a way in the world that is easier to be greedy for ink than contracting projects?

That's a lot of money!

Especially the other party's posture, it is obvious that he wants to knock a stroke at the Wurong County Ya!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but hesitate: "This... Hehe, Cui Changshi is really good at calculating. I don't know how much silver you are going to collect from our county government after rebuilding the Inspection Division? ”

Cui Geng didn't care at all about Tao Wenyuan's little ridicule, and said shamelessly: "Don't worry about the silver, we can discuss it slowly." Do you have any objections to these two compensations? ”

Tao Wenyuan thought about it for a while, he couldn't be the master of this matter. After all, in this negotiation, although he came to make meritorious contributions, Chen Ziang was still the main one. And Chen Ziang's county official rank is also above him. It was not his turn to make a decision at the scene.

So, he looked at Chen Ziang and said, "I don't have any opinion." I don't know what Chen Xiancheng thinks? ”

Chen Ziang thought about it for a long time, and finally agreed with difficulty, but he also solemnly stated that the amount of money for the reconstruction of the Inspection Department must be in moderation, and the Zhichong Mansion cannot open its mouth.

Next, it is time to discuss the third condition of the Wurong County Ya.

As soon as the third condition was mentioned, Guo Ke turned his face on the spot and said, "Do you want this official to apologize to Liu Youqiu?" Hehe, can he Liu Youqiu stand it? ”

After speaking, he stood up and strode out.

, this is the rhythm of leaving if you don't agree with each other!

Tao Wenyuan and Chen Ziang were a little dumbfounded at the time, negotiating and negotiating, naturally they were judging while talking, how could they end up without saying a word?

Besides, we have compensated for what should be compensated, so can't you also go back to the Chong Mansion?

Tao Wenyuan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and said: "Cui Changshi, you go and persuade Guo Duwei, as long as he is willing to come to the door to apologize and let our Wurong County Ya get back face, there will be compensation." It's easy to talk about silver... It's negotiable! ”

Cui Geng smiled bitterly: "Master Tao, I also want to solve this matter earlier." However, this apologization is tantamount to Guo Duwei putting his face up and letting Liu Xianling shave his ears and shave his ears. Do you say that this is something that can be solved with silver? Hehe, don't you know the temperament of our Duwei, you ask Chen Xiancheng, what kind of person is Guo Duwei? ”

"What then? You can't really let this negotiation go yellow, can you? Cui Changshi, you can think clearly, if you really tear your face, I'm afraid that Lord Guo won't be able to please anything. ”

"This ......" Cui Geng pretended to be difficult, and finally stomped his foot violently and said, "That's it!" In order to repay Guo Duwei for his kindness, Cui is arching his head to the ground today, and he has to be persuaded to change his mind. ”

Then, Cui Geng hugged his fists and turned around and left without hesitation!

Looking at his distant back, Tao Wenyuan couldn't help but sigh: "This Cui Erlang is really a loyal and righteous person!" How misunderstood me before! ”

Chen Ziang couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart when he heard this, hehe, do you believe this? If you really believe in Cui Erlang's bastard, then you are not far from the day when you will be gnawed by him to the bone!

At this time, outside the martial arts hall.

After listening to Cui Geng's speech, Guo Ke was looking at Cui Geng with a strange look and said, "Is it too wronged for you to do this?" ”

Cui Gengdao: "This matter should be resolved as soon as possible, the more it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to both sides." It is a big taboo for the garrison to interfere in local government affairs! ”

"Hmph, what about the taboo?"

Guo Keman said indifferently: "Let Liu You beg to sue, Benduwei really doesn't believe that he can help me!" Amazing, I was recalled to Chang'an and reprimanded. Big deal......"

"Lord Captain, stop your anger!"

Cui Geng can be seen that Guo Ke's background is not ordinary, and his heels are in Chang'an, either he has his parents and grandparents as officials in the court, and he is a big official, or his family background is strong enough to reach into Chang'an and make peace with the government......

Oh, my God!

It turns out that I have a golden thigh next to me!

But Rao racked his brains to recall his dreams, but he didn't come up with the idea that there was a court member surnamed Guo during the Wuhou period, or the family surnamed Guo was so awesome!

What is the origin of Guo Ke?

Let's not think about it for now. Guo Ke is stubborn, someone pays for him, but there is no one above him. Once Guo Ke is stubborn and unlucky, he will definitely not have good fruit to eat.

So, he persuaded: "Lord Duwei, you can't do it!" You have come down this time because of your experience, is it possible that you want to make your family look down on you because of Liu Youqiu's matter? This is very contrary to your original intention of coming down to the place, isn't it? It took a lot of hard work to open up the situation in the place, but because of this, he was recalled to Chang'an, and he was not worth it! ”

"Huh? You know it all? Guo Ke's eyes widened, looking incredulous.

"Uh..."

Cui Geng made up his mouth in his heart, guess!

It's hard to guess, isn't it? But whenever the second generation of eunuchs or children of a family like Guo Ke come down, it is nothing more than to come to practice gilding, or to prove their ability to their families.

Otherwise, Guo Ke committed tens of thousands of military expenses and borrowed money from Cao Yuechan? Guilty of being exposed to the wind and rain, training soldiers and horses all day long?

This is a common problem of the second generation of strong officials with a good personality!

However, it seems that Cui Geng's words have worked, Guo Ke gradually calmed down, stopped talking a few times, and said a little reluctantly: "What you said is also right, but I can't bear to ask Cui Changshi to take care of the grievances for the official!" ”

It turned out that after Cui Geng came out to talk about Wutang, he proposed a compromise plan to Guo Ke: he replaced Guo Ke and went to Wurong County in Putian City on behalf of Zhichong Duweifu on behalf of Zhichong Governor's Mansion in the capacity of Zhichong Governor's Mansion, and bowed his head to apologize to Liu Youqiu to resolve the conflict. In this way, Liu Youqiu can also regain some face, and there is no need for Guo Ke to lose face in person.

Cui Geng believes that this is a compromise that is acceptable to both parties.

He was afraid of beating the wolf with a hemp pole, he knew that Liu Xianling didn't want to really tear it up, and he and Guo Ke would never die. Good face and great joy are nothing more than the common problems of literati as officials.

After listening to Cui Geng's interests, and Cui Geng took the initiative to ask for help, and was willing to go to Putian City for himself, Guo Ke had no choice but to get off the donkey.

He sighed and said; "In this negotiation, the Governor of Bendu can see it, Cui Changshi, you are seeking the well-being of the Governor's Mansion everywhere. Even if the third article is not mentioned, the first two items alone have greatly alleviated the problem of military spending for Captain Pontus. This official had a lot of misunderstandings about Cui Changshi before, and there were many difficulties, alas, Cui Changshi was wronged. ”

Unexpectedly, an unexpected move could make Guo Ke, who has always been cold, change his opinion of himself, and he could say this, Cui Geng did not expect it.

He smiled rather lazily and said, "Don't be so sensational, adults, okay?" I'm not used to it. I help adults, but also help myself! ”

Guo Ke said: "That's it! Next, the negotiation matters will be entrusted to you by the officer, and the captain will return to the camp first! ”

Cui Geng said: "Thank you for your trust!" ”

Guo Ke didn't go far, stopped and turned around, and said solemnly: "Cui Changshi, Captain Bendu accepts a favor from you!" ”

After that, the person has slipped away and disappeared in an instant.

Cui Geng pursed his lips and smiled, turned back to the lecture hall, and made his compromises.

Tao Chen and the others looked at each other, and felt that this proposal was already the best way at present, so they immediately nodded and agreed.

The conflict between Zhechong Mansion and Wurong County Ya over Cattle City has come to an end.

Cui Gengyan was a little late tomorrow, so he asked Chen Tao and the others to stay in Qingyuan City for a night, and early tomorrow morning, he personally escorted Wu Cripple to accompany the two and return to Putian City together.

asked Feng Changqing to take Tao Wenyuan to the post house to rest first, and Cui Geng kept Chen Ziang.

Chen Ziang knew that this guy was leaving himself alone, and it was not as simple as reminiscing, so he asked: "Okay, you knocked on a lot of bamboo bars in our Wurong County Ya today, don't get an inch!" ”

"Don't worry, I won't want a penny this time."

"And what do you leave me for?"

Cui Geng laughed twice, scratched his cheeks, and said in a low voice: "Brother Ziang, there are no outsiders here, don't always keep a face." That's the case, you see, this time, in order to successfully solve the problem between the Zhichong Mansion and your county government, I really suffered a lot of grievances. As the so-called ......"

"Don't be crepe, be concise and to the point, and get straight to the point and be more painful!" Chen Ziang interrupted directly.

"Hehe, I have a little request here."

Cui Geng took advantage of the situation and proposed that he hoped that the Wurong County Ya could sell him a piece of shop in the best area of Putian City, which he used to open the Putian branch of Jufenglong. And when the semicolon opened, I hoped that Liu Youqiu could come to watch the ceremony in person. Of course, it would be better if Liu County Ling could bring more officials from Wurong County with him.

Obviously, this is to find a support for the Putian branch in Putian City, so as to save those splatters from making trouble and extorting bamboo poles, as well as the counterparts in Putian City secretly coveting and calculating.

The reason why Tao Wenyuan was to be supported was naturally worried that this guy would have anything to do with other money houses in Putian City.

As soon as Chen Ziang heard it, he knew that Cui Erlang didn't hold back his fart, but he didn't readily agree, but said: "This matter is very important, this official can't be the master of Liu County's order, tomorrow after you return to Putian City with me, I can say a few words for you in front of Liu County's order." As for whether it will succeed or not, it depends on Liu County's own meaning. ”

No problem, Guo Ke agreed to this before, but now that it is such a trouble, he and Liu Youqiu have been "the king does not see the king" for at least a while.

Therefore, His Majesty Cui Geng took this opportunity to get the matter of the Putian branch of Jufenglong done.

After hearing Chen Ziang's words, he who was familiar with Chen Ziang's character suddenly felt happy in his heart, and he said happily: "Then when I get to Putian, I have to mediate a lot for my younger brother." ”

After a day of tug-of-war, the negotiations finally ended.

The next day, Yao Du also calculated the cost of rebuilding the inspection department, with a budget of 500 yuan. However, Cui Geng called out the high price of 3,000 guan for reconstruction.

The extra money was naturally used by Guo Ke as military expenses.

As for the personal tax silver that Wu lame was greedy for, there were about more than 3,700 yuan, and all of them were charged into the Zhechong Mansion.

At noon, the sun was shining.

Cui Geng led a team of government soldiers under Song Genhai, about 100 people, with complete armor, along with Chen Ziang and Tao Wenyuan, rushed to Putian County, asking to see Liu Youqiu.

As soon as he left the city, the news of going to Putian spread to the Jufenglong Silver No.

Cao Tianjiao, the cheap father-in-law, listened to it and kept muttering: "There is no hair on the mouth, and there is no work to do!" Alas, such a big matter, why didn't Cui Erlang discuss it with me. ”

Cao Yuechan raised her eyebrows slightly, and said dissatisfiedly: "Dad! Cui Erlang is not you, why should I discuss with you? ”

"He's my daughter......" Seeing that his daughter had a tendency to get mad, Cao Tianjiao hurriedly swallowed the words that came to his mouth.

Cao Tianjiao changed his words; "Even if it's not me, it's Cui Erlang's mistake. As the saying goes, when the sky falls, there are tall people on top. There was a conflict between the Zhichong Governor's Mansion and the Wurong County Ya, so wouldn't it be okay for Guo Ke to solve it? What is he a second-in-command and fooling around? Young people just love to be in the limelight. ”

"Dad, that Cui Erlang is as slippery as a loach, are you still worried that he will suffer a loss?" Cao Yuechan smiled, her wise gaze seemed to have seen through everything.

Cao Tianjiao has always admired this daughter, and his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "What do you mean?" Could it be that there is something behind this matter? ”

Cao Yuechanyun shook her head lightly and said angrily: "Will Cui Erlang's slippery head still suffer?" Daddy, you're too worried. According to my daughter, this guy is a master who can't afford to be unprofitable. He has put a lot of thought into it this time, I am afraid that he can not only solve the matter of the Livestock City Inspection Division, but also solve the matter of our gathering Fenglong opening a branch in Putian City! ”

"What? He's so capable? ”

"Hmph, this guy is treacherous and tight, and he can't afford to lose! But my daughter was worried about something else. ”

"The semicolon matter can be solved, Chan'er, what are you worried about?!"

"My daughter is worried, if the naïve is not long-sighted, let Cui Erlang's official fortune prosper step by step, and if he rises above the temple over time, then won't the Tang Dynasty be a scourge?"

"There really is a day when Cui Erlang is amazing. Chan'er, don't hold on to it, listen to my father's advice, and marry while our family is still worthy of the Cui family! Lao Cao repeated the old words again, and he was a little anxious.

"Daddy!!"

Cao Yuechan stomped her foot in anger again, hired Tingting to twist upstairs, swaying her gait and saying softly: "My daughter hasn't thought about it yet!" I'll talk about that in a few days! ”

With that, the man had already gone upstairs.

Lao Cao sighed wordlessly with a bitter face, shook his head and said: "Chan'er, this time and that time, I'm afraid that in some time, I'm afraid that Cui Erlang won't look down on our family and you... Silly girl..."
