Chapter 259: Officialdom Business
Of course, Zhang Xuan understood that Yu Shiji was talking about business with him, and he bowed and smiled: "Yu Xiangguo must also know that our Zhang Dashuai does not get along well with the local government in Qingzhou, and complaints from the local government often occur, but as far as the lowly officials know, many complaints are exaggerated, or even made out of nothing, which makes the handsome bear a great reputation." ”
"Wasn't Zhang Xutuo transferred back to the imperial court? I don't think this kind of thing will happen again in the future, what else is General Zhang worried about? Yu Shiji asked with some puzzlement.
"Xiangguo doesn't know, Zhang Dashuai and the discord between the local government has also affected us, these middle-level generals below us often have conflicts with the county government and the county government, and the lowly position is very worried that there will be local officials to the court and even the saint to frame the lowly position in the future, and I implore Xiangguo to take more care of these aspects."
Yu Shiji then understood that Zhang Xuan wanted to start from himself and restrain the impeachment that was unfavorable to him, this kid was very shrewd, and knew that all the local twists and turns would be summarized to him first, as long as he held this pass, the news that was unfavorable to Zhang Xuan would not reach the saint.
Yu Shiji smiled and said: "I understand what General Zhang meant, it's just that if the local government wants to frame the general, it's not entirely from my side, the general should know, there are also Yushitai and the supervising army, I can't control them." ”
Of course Zhang Xuan understands, but the prison army Xiao Huaijing has been bought by him, Yushitai is controlled by Pei Yun, and he doesn't have to worry too much, the key is that Yu Shiji is here, most of the news that is unfavorable to him will go from Yu Shiji, he must tighten his mouth here with Yu Shiji, and he can't let Zhang Xutuo's misfortune befall him again.
"Back to Xiangguo, I understand it in my humble heart!"
"It's good that you understand, I'm just giving you a heads-up."
Yu Shiji took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said lightly: "Of course, if there is a local government that frames General Zhang recently. I will uphold justice for General Zhang, but I'm afraid that it won't be this year, and it will appear again next year, and I will forget about it after a long time, and I'm afraid that General Zhang will be disappointed at that time! ”
Yu Shiji's implication is that I will only care about you this year for this thousand taels of gold. I won't care about it next year, and if you still want me to help, then you can do it yourself next year.
Of course, Zhang Xuan understood what Yu Shiji meant, and he hurriedly smiled: "I will definitely come to visit Yu Xiangguo again next year, of course, I will often come to visit Xiangguo during the New Year's holidays to thank Xiangguo for his love for his humble position." ”
Yu Shiji laughed, he liked to deal with people like Zhang Xuan the most. It's thorough, refreshing and crisp, and the requirements are not high, if every official was like Zhang Xuan, he would have made a fortune a long time ago.
"General Zhang, please rest assured, the imperial court is a place where rules are spoken, as long as the general follows the rules of the imperial court, don't worry about the hidden arrows of those villains in the local government."
"Thank you Yu Xiangguo for your care. If you are lowly and do not disturb Yu Xiangguo's rest, you will leave first! ”
Jang Hyun got up and took his leave. Yu Shiji kept sending him out of the courtyard, and the big housekeeper sent Zhang Xuan out of the gate.
Wei Chigong was already waiting outside the gate of the mansion, and Zhang Xuan didn't see Yu Renxu, so he asked with a smile: "What about that old man Yu?" ”
"The humble position gave him a hundred taels of gold, and he left first."
Zhang Xuan was really in a good mood and got Yu Shiji. His officialdom risk has been reduced by at least seventy percent, most of the time Pei Ju's role is to fill in the leaks after the fact, but Pei Ju can't control the risk in advance, but Yu Shiji can do it.
He only needs to spend 1,000 taels of gold every year, plus some jewelry that he usually pays tribute to during the New Year's holidays. This is a good deal.
"Let's go! Let's go for a drink first, and then we will visit the South Market. Zhang Xuan turned over and smiled.
Wei Chigong hurriedly urged the horse to follow, although he didn't understand what Zhang Xuan was going to do in Nanshi, he never asked more
In the evening, Zhang Xuan and Wei Chigong appeared in the area of the rice store in Nanshi, although there are thousands of kinds of goods in Nanshi, Zhang Xuan is more concerned about the changes in rice prices.
As the first civilian biological resource, Zhang Xuan's feelings about food are particularly profound, in Qingzhou, food is the biggest strategic material, who has food, who can achieve victory, Zhang Jin called defeat, in fact, defeat on food.
At the same time, the change in food prices is also a barometer of the rise and fall of a dynasty, and it is the most true reflection of the current situation of a dynasty.
There are about 30 shops in the rice shop in Nanshi, basically the river behind the store, the small river behind the store is full of boats transporting grain, the scale of the grain shop is quite large, the largest one covers an area of ten acres, the momentum is overwhelming, it can be seen that this grain shop has a very good background.
"That's it!"
Zhang Xuan looked at the four words on the sign 'Qizhou Rice Shop', dozens of rickshaw deer carts were placed in front of the steps, and the side door of the warehouse was crowded, Zhang Xuan took Wei Chigong into this large-scale rice shop.
The rice shop was crowded with civilians and small traders who had come to buy rice, and there were two rows of wooden shelves several feet long in the lobby, on which dozens of small baskets were filled with grain from all over the world, wheat, corn, rice, millet rice, bean cakes, etc., and each basket had a long sign inserted on it, on which was the current price.
More than a dozen men were busy receiving the people who bought rice, first negotiating the quantity and price, going to the counter to pay the money, and then taking the bronze medal to the back warehouse to get grain.
"I want to buy rice and go to the back of the line!" A guy stepped forward to block Jang Xuan's way, and his attitude was very blunt and fierce.
Wei Chigong patted his fellow on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Harmony makes money, can't you talk well?" ”
The man's little shoulder was about to be pinched off, and the pain made him grin and nod his head again and again, "Okay! Good! ”
Wei Chigong let go of his shoulder, "My son-in-law wants to ask you a few words, and there will be a reward for answering well, otherwise-"
He looked at his fan-sized palm, and was so frightened that the guy hurriedly lowered his eyebrows and said to Zhang Xuan: "I don't know what the son wants to ask?" ”
Jang Hyun is more concerned about the price of rice, which is currently the most produced grain and is crucial in the composition of grain.
He walked to a basket filled with rice with white flowers, and saw that the small sign said two hundred and two hundred and two Shu rice, and Zhang Xuan smiled and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Seeing that this son didn't even understand the simplest jargon, the guy said a little deflated: "The origin is Bashu, the bucket rice is 220 yuan, the price is in the upper middle, the cheapest is Heluo rice, the bucket rice is 200 yuan, because the freight is a little less, but the quality is not as good as Bashu rice." ”
"I wonder how much food was last year?" Zhang Xuan asked again.
"It's hard to say! Grain changes at any time, the highest is 580 yuan for rice, and the lowest is only 100 yuan, but I want to make one point clear, we only accept the emperor's money, not the big business money. ”
The man pointed to a large letter written on a white piece of paper on the top of his head, 'Only accept the emperor's money'.
At this moment, someone behind Zhang Xuan smiled and said, "I know everything General Zhang wants to know, why didn't you come and ask me?" ”
When Zhang Xuan turned around, he saw a tall and thin man standing behind him, about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, with an unusually pale face, wearing a black satin robe and a black leather belt around his waist, which set off the pale skin of his skin, which was quite weird.
When Zhang Xuan and Wei Chigong saw this person, both of them held down the hilt of the sword at their waists, and at the same time took a step back, this person was the same Mr. Beijing they saw in the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant when they first came to Luoyang.
But he didn't expect to meet him again in Chang'an, Zhang Xuan looked behind him again, and saw three big men with strong physiques standing behind him, but he didn't see Liang Shidu.
Mr. Beijing seemed to mean Zhang Xuan, and said with a faint smile: "Master Liang is going to participate in the Heroes Conference, and he is actively preparing, but he is not as leisurely and confident as General Zhang." ”
Zhang Xuan let go of the hilt of the sword, arched his hand and smiled: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest of Jinshan, I wonder why Mr. is here?" ”
Mr. Beijing raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I am here for the same purpose as General Zhang, why do you say I am here?" ”
"Sir is also frank, aren't you afraid of being targeted by the government?"
Mr. Beijing shook his head and smiled: "I have broken off from the Turks, to be precise, I have nothing to do with Jinshan Palace, I am a Han Chinese, so I naturally want to return to the Central Plains, so General Zhang doesn't have to worry about the Beihai incident at the beginning, that matter has nothing to do with me." ”
Mr. Beijing looked at the noisy rice buyers around him again, frowned slightly, and smiled at Zhang Xuan again: "I want to invite General Zhang to drink a glass of water and wine, I wonder if General Zhang is willing to give me this face?" ”
If it was at the beginning of last year, Zhang Xuan might not dare to agree, but he is not Wuxia Ameng, how could he be intimidated by this Mr. Beijing, he groaned slightly, and then smiled happily: "Mr. invited, how could Zhang Xuan not agree?" ”
"Rejoice! Then go to Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, I like the wine of that house very much, very mellow, nostalgic and reluctant. ”
"I feel the same way!"
The two smiled knowingly, and Mr. Beijing waved his hand, "General Zhang, please!" ”
"Sir, please!"
Everyone left the rice shop and rode towards the Tiansi Pavilion Restaurant, but Wei Chigong was a little confused, the two should be mortal enemies, why did they drink together again.
