Chapter 576: Brother

Zhang Xun smiled silently on the side, if he wasn't afraid of being rude, he planned to leave first. The other officials were also watching the excitement, and the two of them were very bickering. An official who was also wearing the prefect's official uniform opened his mouth to persuade: "Brother Liu, Brother Jiang, don't fight with each other when you listen to me." How far have you come? I'm from Chongqing. ”

Now the two stopped arguing, and shifted their firepower to the Chongqing prefect and said: "I said Master Mei, the prefect of Mei, the two of us came here, it's still the past, you are a Chongqing prefect, what are you doing here?" Aren't you afraid of the imperial history impeaching you for not doing your job? ”

The Mei Governor of Chongqing Mansion showed an expression of why Lao Tzu was afraid on his face, and said with a smile: "The two of you don't know, you are here on the orders of the governor." Whoever is impeached by the judge will not impeach the government. ”

The two were even more curious, and Governor Liu asked, "What do you say?" Lord Zhongcheng of Sichuan, why did he have a connection with Chen Gebu? Governor Mei smiled and said, "Don't you understand, right?" Now the Yangtze River waterway starts in Chongqing and ends in Huating. On the river, how many merchant ships are rushing back and forth? I heard that on the border of the south of the Yangtze River, I made a windfall by doing business with the Taixi people. The Sichuan elders were very envious, and specially recommended to come down to inspect it, and see what business there was to do after going back. ”

As soon as they said this, everyone understood that the people in Sichuan sent this prefect to take a trip to see if there was a chance to hook up with Master Chen and sell Sichuan's native products to Taixi. However, this possibility is not very large, although Sichuan is rich in products, there is really nothing that can be sold to the Taixi people.

Therefore, this is because the prefect came here, I am afraid that there is another purpose, and nine times out of ten it is to transfer Jiangnan or Shandong. That's when I came to shoot Master Chen's sycophants. There is another rumor that Sichuan officialdom is bold and has swallowed a lot of military supplies. Sun Chuanting has impeached Sichuan officialdom and asked the imperial court to thoroughly investigate the matter.

These two are both understandable people, and they immediately surrendered their hands to the Mei Governor's Mansion and stopped talking nonsense with him. It was embarrassing for the Governor of Mei. Sitting there and seeing Zhang Xun smiling, he immediately arched his hand and said, "This benevolent brother, see the smile, see the smile." Zhang toured a salute, bowed slightly and said: "Don't dare, I can't be a loose official in the next eight grades, and I came here to ask to see Chen Gebu, just to try my luck." ”

When they heard this, they were deeply struck by it. Actually, everyone is here to try their luck. Chen Xie, the cabinet lord, doesn't like officials to ask for a meeting. But wherever he went, officials chased him. It's really Chen Xie who is too popular now, more popular than the first assistant of the cabinet. The first assistant of the cabinet wants to promote an official, and there are still many procedures to go through, and Chen Xie wants to ask which official to be promoted to serve in Jiangnan, and there is a chance that no one will dare to stop him. What kind of program, that is useless to Chen Xie.

Since he is a loose official. Naturally, he came to seek a real job, the words of the Eighth Rank Official. You have to be a lifter, right? Everyone looked at Zhang Xun and smiled without saying anything, which means that he is a little self-conscious. But people, after all, you have to ask for a little more. Although this official is not easy to be, he has a good intention to be motivated.

At this moment, Han Shan came in. Sweeping around, all the officials immediately stood up and bowed their hands to this martial artist. Han Shan didn't look at these officials with a straight eye, and according to his temper, he drove them all away. Chen Xie's meaning. If you like to wait, you can wait, anyway, if you see one or two a day, a cup of tea will be passed, it doesn't take much time, and it doesn't break the rules of officialdom.

"Master Zhang, it's been a long time." Han Shan took the initiative to give his hand, and this time he shattered his glasses. Who doesn't know that this thing is the head of the guards next to Chen Xie, who followed Chen Xie from birth to death, and is an absolute hardcore cronie. Ordinary officials, seeing him politely, can't do it. I didn't expect this to see Zhang Xun, and he was so active and enthusiastic.

"Lord Han, it's been a long time." At this time, the status between civil and military forces was useless, and Zhang Xun didn't dare to do that, his attitude was very low, and he bowed his hand. Han Shan stepped forward to help him and said, "Don't, you are the old acquaintance of the master, don't wait, hurry up and follow me in." After speaking, he said to the others: "Let's go back, the master is no longer a foreigner today." ”

Zhang Xun was really flattered, although he was the big treasurer of the royal fleet, but he knew better than anyone how this official came about. Chen Xie treated him like this, it was not as simple as elevating, in front of all the officials, Han Shan's attitude would not be long before it spread throughout Huating, and it would be convenient for him to do anything at that time.

In the envious, jealous and hateful eyes of everyone, Zhang Xun straightened his clothes and followed Han Shan to walk in unhurriedly, trying to make his pace calm. Speaking of which, he is just a businessman, and he can be a guest in Chen Xie's seat, and he can scare a lot of people to death when he says it. He didn't know that Chen Xie's attitude towards businessmen was definitely better than that towards officials.

followed all the way in, sat down and waited in the living room, Han Shan went in to report, Chen Xie was talking to Cui Xin, and when he saw him come in, he smiled and said, "Someone brought?" Han Shan nodded and said, "Brought it." Chen Xie said: "He came by chance, and he had a ready-made excuse to send those flies." After finishing speaking, Cui Xin said: "You go, I'll be on time tomorrow morning." When the time comes, you can just say how you want to speak. Chen Xie's meaning was very clear, he sat there and didn't say anything, the effect was absolutely good.

Zhang Xun didn't wait long, Chen Xie came out soon, Zhang Xun stepped forward to make a big salute, Chen Xie stopped and said: "You and I met in Pingshui, we talked very happily, we are good friends, why do you want to come here?" Besides, you are now the representative of the royal fleet, and you have an official body, so there is no need to be a low-key person. It's good to keep a low profile, but it's also about dividing people. ”

"Master Xie, Zhang Xun has been taught." After saying that the two sat down, Chen Xie took the initiative to say: "You came just in time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been busy with the affairs of the clan recently, you can make some efforts." Go back, you take my post to see the prince, remember to be fast, otherwise we will have to go back to Beijing in three or five days at most. ”

Zhang Xun hurriedly thanked him, and when he mentioned the matter of the clan, he seemed to have some thoughts, and he stopped talking. Seeing this, Chen Xie asked: "If you have something to say, just say it, don't be polite." Zhang Xun said: "Back to my lord, the urban area of Huating New District can be expanded. The prince has the task of placing the clan, so why not set aside a lot on the boundary of Huating and make some deals for the clan? ”

Chen Xie smiled: "Your idea is good, but it's a bit taken for granted. These people in the clan have no other skills, and their ability to make trouble is first-class. One by one is greedy and ruthless, come to Huating, God knows how many baskets will be stabbed for me. And in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, I can't do anything with them. If you want to settle these clans, you have to get them farther away. ”

When Zhang Xun heard this, he was secretly shocked in his heart, he dared to say this, which showed that he was not an outsider. immediately smiled: "My lord, I intend to buy a few shops for the Zhang family, firstly, to repay the kindness of the family, and secondly, I am also a little selfish." ”

Chen Xie nodded after hearing this and said, "This is not a problem, but you don't have to worry about this issue." The construction of the next phase of the new city is fast, and when the time comes, you can directly find Han Shan and ask him to take you to see Cui Xin. If you want a piece of land in the city, you can build it yourself. But let's say it first, you have to build it according to the requirements of the plan, don't build it yourself, even if you build illegally, it will be troublesome. ”

Zhang Xun really didn't expect that this matter would be taken down so easily. He didn't think about it carefully, and he couldn't think of Chen Xie's attention to him. You must know that he is the chief treasurer of the royal fleet, and the success or failure of his business directly affects the confidence of the Jingshi Emperor, the nobles and officials. Otherwise, why did Chen Xie support him so strongly? I just hope that he will work hard and completely set off a craze for making a fortune at sea in Daming.

Zhang Xun made a careful report on the affairs of the royal fleet very seriously, and did not let go of any details, Chen Xie listened very patiently, Zhang Xun was going to leave before dusk, and Chen Xie left him for dinner. Leaving Ningyuan and returning to the hotel, as soon as the carriage stopped, people surrounded them, and they greeted them one by one, saying: "Brother Zhang!" Master Zhang! ”

It feels good that the stars are holding the moon, but Zhang Xun still saw a brother of his own family in the back of the crowd very calmly, he is the second son of the main house, and he is a representative of the silk guild on behalf of the Zhang family. It was to replace Zhang Xun's position, and this cousin had openly and secretly sarcastically mocked him for his hard work, but he didn't expect that he would only be able to stand behind and watch himself.

"Third brother, why are you here too?" Zhang Xun didn't dare to slack off, lest he turn around and say that he had forgotten his roots. In this era, this is a very important thing, and it is too difficult to remedy a bad reputation.

"Hehe, Lao Qi, you are now considered beautiful, and you haven't been back to Nanxun for a long time." Cousin Zhang Ye stepped forward, everyone automatically separated a road, the two looked like brothers, Zhang Xun took the opportunity to send everyone away, led Zhang Ye to come in and sit down, and after greeting tea, he said: "I must go back before the end of the year, this time the sales of Huating shops, if you can get it, try to take it, don't hesitate." ”

Zhang Ye said strangely: "Old Seven, you are a guest in the Cabinet Lord's Mansion, why don't you hold a hand inside?" ”

Zhang Xun said: "Third brother, this is a little care given by the adults to these merchants of the Silk Guild, what is it for me to stretch my hand inside?" You don't know how nervous the shop is today, relying on this meager face, you can make a profit for a while, and you will lose a lot in the long run. ”

In the past, in Nanxun, it was this third brother who reprimanded Zhang Xun, but today it means a little different, Zhang Xun is secretly cool in his heart. This qiē was all entrusted to Lord Chen, who was just in a hurry at the beginning, but he didn't expect to benefit so far.

Even if you have face in front of you, your status in the family will be greatly improved. For this, Zhang Xun also wants to regard Chen Xie as the biggest benefactor, but he is not the big treasurer of the royal fleet, he claims to be Chen Xie's person. (To be continued......)
