"Leave? Do? For a while, everyone's eyes were on Feng Changqing.
Feng Changqing's old face was black and red, he touched his head, and muttered, "That'...... That's it...... I'm ...... Appearance...... Blind date. β
"Blind date?" Cui Geng was slightly stunned at first, then immediately came to his senses and said happily: "Good thing, this is a good thing!" Come, tell the official, which little lady is so discerning? β
Song Genhai was also quite happy, and said, "Brother Feng, your life's event, is this going to be settled?" All right! All right! I'll just say, you're too honest. If you don't have a wife, it's okay to get a few warm house girls, what's the matter with always beating singles like this? β
Huang Youwei also teased: "That's it, that's it, I don't even want to go to Qing~ Lou, I don't know, I think you're a rabbit." β
β¦β¦
Everyone kept talking, and even Cui Xiufang made a few jokes.
Jiang Baicidan, who was newly joined next to him, was a little puzzled, and interjected weakly, "What? General Feng hasn't married a wife yet? β
Song Genhai said: "Hey, it's not that I haven't married a wife, it's just that the luck of the Feng brothers is too bad......"
After Song Genhai's introduction, Jiang Bai understood the cause and effect of this matter the next day.
Feng Changqing is about the same age as Cui Geng, and after being transferred to Beijing with Cui Geng, his life's major events are also on the agenda.
It's strange to say that the object of his first marriage was the daughter of a civil official, and before he got married, he fell ill and died.
The object of the second marriage was the daughter of a military general, and a few days after the marriage, she was in the suburbs to meet Qingzhong and fell off her horse and died.
The third object of the marriage is a small family Jasper, who has just been married, and the family has suffered a natural fire, and no one in the family escaped.
After three accidents in a row, the statement about Feng Changqing's hard wife spread far and wide.
At this time, Feng Changqing Guanyuntong became the five-grade guerrilla general of the Great Zhou. The five-grade officials can be named wives and sons, and the power is really not small, and the range of marriage choices is relatively small.
is qualified to marry him, as soon as he considers the rumors of his "hard-hitting wife", they all thank him, even if he doesn't think about his daughter, he has to think about himself, right? The whole family burned to death, but "Zhuyu" was in front.
Regarding Feng Changqing's dilemma, Cui Geng and others can't help anything, and they can't force others to marry women, right? Moreover, those who are qualified to marry Feng Changqing are by no means soft persimmons!
So, they had to retreat and persuade Changqing to take a concubine before they got married, and first solved the matter of inheritance.
However, Feng Changqing's stubborn temper came up, and he insisted on getting married first and breaking the rumors of his "wife".
As a result, his marriage was delayed, and he stood in his thirties. This time, someone took the initiative to marry him, and everyone was happy for him in their hearts.
In the end, Feng Changqing finally revealed the mystery and said: "It is the youngest daughter of Pei Liang in Liuhe County, Yangzhou named Pei Youniang." β
Cui Geng was a little puzzled and said: "Yangzhou Liuhe? So far? Yangzhou and Chang'an are thousands of miles apart, how did the Liuhe County Order want to marry you? And that Pei Liang...... I don't think I've heard of it! β
Song Genhai smashed his mouth and said, "My lord, you just think I'm too small." You are famous all over the world, and our brothers are also stained. Now I, Brother Feng, Brother Zhou and Brother Huang are known as the Four King Kongs under you, not only in the officialdom, but also in the people! The Liuhe County Commander had heard of Brother Feng's name, so it was not strange. β
Zhou Xing also echoed: "Brother Feng is in his thirties, his official residence is five-grade, and he has Zhou Xiang's care, which can be called a promising future." In addition, there are no in-laws and no concubines, if there were no rumors of the wife, the matchmaker would have kicked through the threshold long ago. If the Liuhe County Commander didn't believe the rumors of that Kefu, he might really ask someone to deliver a message to Brother Feng. β
Feng Changqing said: "People don't have to marry me, they just want me to go to Yangzhou, and the father and daughter look at each other." When the little lady is satisfied, this marriage can be completed. β
"That's right...... Reasonable! Cui Geng nodded and said, "In that case, you can take a trip to Yangzhou Liuhe." β
Of course, although it has been discussed, Feng Changqing is not immediately separated from Cui Geng and the others. He had to go to Chang'an with Cui Geng and others via Lanzhou and Qinzhou, and finally take a boat through Luoyang and along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to Yangzhou.
However, just when Cui Geng and the others arrived in Qinzhou, the arrival of a herald eunuch completely changed the original plan.
His person is Liu Laosi.
As Liu Laosi finished his will in a frustrated manner, Cui Geng was a little dumbfounded at that time, and Wu Zetian asked him not to go back to the court to report on his work, and went directly to Yangzhou to rectify the copper money fraud case.
The apparent reason, of course, is unassailable.
Since the founding of the country, Datang has been plagued by a shortage of money, so much so that it must be shared with "money and silk". However, despite this, despite Cui Geng's invention of money tickets, the "money shortage" has not been lifted.
At this time, a business flourished to counterfeit money. The official copper coins of the Great Zhou Dynasty have always weighed six catties and four, and the folk have mixed copper, tin, and other base metals in the copper coins, which are about three catties to four catties.
Changing hands is double the profit, and the technical threshold is not high, since the Tang Yifeng period, this situation has intensified.
Counterfeit money has caused great damage to the country's tax revenue, reputation and even public security, and the imperial court has repeatedly banned it, but it has been repeatedly banned. Some thieves "may be in the lake, the huge sea, and the deep mountains, the waves are steep, and the people are inaccessible, and the state and county cannot prohibit the contract."
This situation is most serious near Yangzhou, accounting for about 40% of the country's fake money.
Without it, there are many copper mines near Yangzhou, so there are coinage furnaces run by the imperial court here. Therefore, here produces the world-famous "Yangzhou mirror".
Therefore, Wu Zetian ordered Cui Geng, with the respect of the prime minister, to go to Yangzhou to supervise the fake money workshop.
In terms of importance, this matter is completely worthy of the full efforts of a prime minister. Besides, didn't you Cui Geng say that the rise of Jufenglong Silver can put an end to the money shortage? Now that the money shortage has not been solved, let you clear the fake money workshop, no problem, right?
No problem!
These fake money workshops are all hidden in hidden places such as "Pihu Lake, Giant Sea, Deep Mountain", etc., it is easy for Cui Geng to destroy one or two, and it is not difficult to destroy some of them. But how is it possible to smash them all?
However, if it is not completely destroyed, he will not be able to return to Beijing to recover his life, what is the difference between this and going out?
It turned out that before Cui Geng sent an envoy to Tubo, he deliberately made a request to Wu Zetian, he did not have to attend the funeral of Tubo Zanpu, and he could turn back to Dazhou at any time depending on the situation. One of the important purposes is to participate in the Shenlong coup d'Γ©tat, but once it is mixed with this will, it will be completely finished.
Cui Geng's brows furrowed, and he said, "Brother Shiro, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the eye medicine that Brother Zhang specially gave me, right?" Don't...... Shangguan Sheren, and even the crown prince, didn't help me say a few words? β
Liu Laosi smiled bitterly and said, "Erlang, you really guessed wrong this time." It was not the Zhang brothers who came up with this idea, but Liang Wang Wu Sansi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Shangguan Sheren, all of whom were happy to see it come to fruition. β
"Why?"
"Because His Royal Highness the Prince, I'm anxious for you to go to Yangzhou and clean up a mess for him."
"Huh?" Cui Geng's face changed slightly, and he said, "What's going on?" β
