The smile on Zhao Jin's face became even stronger, and he continued to ask, "Gonggong Cui, is it possible to say these things?" ”

As soon as he asked, Wang Zhaojing on the side immediately reacted, and asked with a somewhat cold face: "What Gonggong Cui said just now, is what Gonggong Wei meant?" Or who does it mean in the Kyori Dynasty? ”

Cui Wensheng and Zhao Jin looked at each other for a moment, but ignored Wang Zhaojing on the side, and after a while, he leaned back in his chair and sighed and said: "Impossible, how is it possible, how can the imperial court come up with such a valuable position, even if it is Gonggong Wei, he will be attacked and overturned by hundreds of officials, who knows that you Xuzhou has ill intentions, they know that there are riotous people blocking the canal, they know the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect in Shandong, who knows what Zhao Ziying is, who knows that there is such a big worm as you in Xuzhou!" ”

"I was almost deceived by Grandpa Cui, but you said that if you think about it, you can't, even if I agree, do you want me to leave this situation and take office alone? If I lose this situation, I am not a fish on the chopping block, if I don't lose it, I can't go except by sea, no matter which direction is in the north, south and west, I have to transit several provinces, and tens of thousands of people cross several provinces, who can afford this matter? Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Cui Wensheng, the eunuch of the governor Caoyun, glanced at Wang Zhaojing and said in a sullen voice: "The father and son of the Wang family really taught you a lot, and this is also a kind of luck." ”

Over there, Wang Zhaojing just smiled bitterly when he heard it, knowing that the other party meant that Zhao Jin had a thorough understanding of the government and politics because of the merits of his father and son, but he and his father had not talked much about these things to Zhao Jin, and even his father and himself had benefited a lot from Zhao Jin, Zhao Jin didn't answer this sentence, but just said: "Gonggong Cui, Shandong, Henan and Nanzhili, can there be officials and gentry in Fuzhou County who complained to the imperial court, saying that I, Zhao Jin, rebelled?" In Xuzhou and the surrounding places, has there ever been an emergency when the official yamen was besieged and broken, and the officials and soldiers were killed? Did the gentry live and work in peace and contentment? ”

Every time he asked a question, Cui Wensheng sighed, and Zhao Jin continued: "There are indeed more people under Zhao, but that is also to protect his own property, have you attacked the city, have you killed innocent people, have you ever done anything to violate the royal law, no, except for the rebellion of the Wenxiang Sect in the three provinces of Lu, Henan, and Nanzhi, the rest of the time is too peaceful, Cui Gonggong, don't you say?" ”

Over there, Cui Wensheng simply didn't even sigh, just leaned back in the chair in a daze, Zhao Jin leaned forward and said to himself: "Now the Anjia and the luxury family in the southwest have not been completely pacified, and the city has not been recovered, the Liaozhen in the northeast is erosive, the Jianzhou Jurchen has threatened the western Liaoxi area, and can enter the Shanhaiguan at any time, the Mongolian departments in the north have always been uneasy, last year the Hetao Mongolia entered the Kou, Shaanxi was captured and killed more than 100,000 people, this year it is said that it is cold again, the Mongolian departments will go south, Sichuan and Yungui will use troops, and Liaodong will use troops, Shaanxi and Shanxi want to use troops, and there are so many places where the imperial court wants to use troops, and there are foreign enemies of Tartars and barbarians everywhere. What's more, this local stick did not pull the flag to rebel, but just trained himself to protect the industry, only caring about the growth and accumulation, and many of the princes of the court also benefited directly or indirectly in this, why did they come to fight here? ”

Zhao Jin talked endlessly, Wang Zhaojing and Ji Xiang couldn't help but look over, and the eunuch Cui Wensheng, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but sit up straight, and rarely saw Zhao Jin so eloquent moment." The imperial court lost almost 150,000 soldiers in Liaozhen and almost 40,000 in the southwest, and it still had to maintain the border towns and defend Gyeonggi, so what spare strength did it have to take care of Xuzhou? How can they spend their limited strength in a peaceful place? ”

The room was quiet, Cui Wensheng just looked at Zhao Jin, and didn't answer immediately, Zhao Jin just smiled after speaking, and when the smile was about to freeze, Cui Wensheng slowly shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are really mindful of the world, how can a person like you not be used by the court, but a big harm to the court?" ”

"Father-in-law Cui, don't frame good people out of thin air, Zhao will say again, rebellion is framing, Zhao is not afraid of seeing officials!" Zhao Jin said righteously, Wang Zhaojing nodded solemnly with a solemn face, but Ji Xiang behind him coughed non-stop, and was glanced at by Zhao Jin before he immediately straightened his waist and stood still.

"Yes, you are not afraid of seeing officials, but officials are afraid of seeing you, you are not wrong, those bigwigs of the six ministries of the cabinet are all thinking so, can they think of this side and say that no matter who says that you will send a large army to attack Xuzhou, even if you Xuzhou wants to rebel, you will be attacked immediately, but I am afraid that the Lord will not be able to protect it." The eunuch Cui Wensheng said gloomily.

In the end, Cui Wensheng was full of doubts, stared at Zhao Jin and said, "Zhao Jin, what do you want to do?" You're at this point now, what more do you want? Do you really want to go down that dead end? ”

"Grandpa Cui, I haven't rebelled now, now Xuzhou and the surroundings are too peaceful and rich, that's enough, as for what will happen in the future? Can we take care of that far? Zhao Jin did not answer directly.

Governor Cao Yun and Fengyang Garrison Eunuch Cui Wensheng smiled weakly, and said in a muffled voice: "You want to leave a name in history, at first glance I thought you wanted to serve the court, but now that I think about it, these words are terrifying!" ”

Zhao Jin smiled and didn't speak, he told people when he was a child, he wanted to leave a name in history, no matter how he heard this, it was an inspirational word of an aspiring young man, and it could naturally be spread, and it was not difficult for the court to collect news about this, but there was no need to talk about this matter in detail.

There was nothing to say in the house for a while, the expansion and restructuring of Zhao Ziying attracted the attention of the imperial court and the local government, and then the imperial court sent people, or this Cui Wensheng came on his own, after this conversation, it can be regarded as an explanation, as for whether this explanation can convince all parties, that is another matter, Cui Wensheng looked discouraged, and at this time, Zhao Jin became interested.

"Father-in-law Cui, the actions of Zhao and his brothers, it stands to reason that they should not be stared at so closely by Father-in-law Wei and Father-in-law Cui, Shandong, Henan and Nanzhili, these prefectures and counties, and even counting the governor of Shandong and Fengyang, can be vague in the past, Zhao is doing decently here, they also know that they are doing decently, why are Wei Gonggong and Cui Gonggong staring at Zhao's side?" Zhao Jin asked quite sternly.

Cui Wensheng took a sip of the tea bowl, the bad tea still made him frown, and after putting it down, he shook his head with a wry smile, and then said with emotion: "Grandpa Wei and our family are all slaves and maids of the Long Live Lord, Long Live Lord, we are good slaves, Long Live Lord is Daming, Grandpa Wei and our family naturally can't see that anyone is unfavorable to Daming, as for those sour people, promotion and wealth are the right thing, what does Daming have to do with them"

Speaking of this, Cui Wensheng paused, and said again: "There are some good ones, but they are not few, now these scholars still care about the Ming Dynasty, the articles are written in a variety of flowers, loyal to the country, once they become officials, they want to climb up, they think about fighting, fight the enemy party, lift up their own family, and the others can be vague." ”

Zhao Jin and Wang Zhaojing both listened very attentively, but the more the eunuch Cui Wensheng spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end he just waved his hand and said: "What do you do, our family is an internal official, no matter how much you do, it is also treacherous, and the silver related to Yunshan Xing and the salt stack in Fengyang Mansion will be taken out before tomorrow, and our family will take it back directly." ”

Yunshan Xing's business in Fengyang Mansion is also a lot, first of all, it is completely monopolized by private salt, and then it is shochu and various commercial goods, and the specialties of Fengyang Mansion are also transported out and sold through the various systems of Yunshan Xing, Fengyang Mansion is not in Zhao Ziying's sphere of influence except for Suzhou, and if you want to do business conveniently, you naturally have to let Eunuch Cui do it conveniently.

How to do it conveniently has long been determined, nothing more than to send a routine or into a few dry shares, which will be summarized and sent over every few months, this is a common thing, but this Cui eunuch is sighing that the loyal monarch suddenly asked for silver when he was patriotic, which is really weird, so that everyone in the room is stunned, but Cui Wensheng is very natural.

Zhao Jinhui was normal and very fast, nodded with a smile and said, "I won't let Gonggong Cui wait, I will definitely serve it when the time comes." ”

There is nothing more to say here, Cui Wensheng said goodbye, Wang Zhaojing sent people out, Eunuch Cui and his party lived in the inn, and they would be closely monitored over there to see if anyone came to contact, or if there was any news to pass on, etc., and when Wang Zhaojing came back, he was a little puzzled, and without waiting for him to ask, Zhao Jin replied: "There is no contradiction between being able to worry about the country, being able to do things, and being greedy for money and asking for bribes, compared to those who only know that they are greedy for money but don't do things, it is much stronger." ”

Wang Zhaojing smacked it, and was thoughtful there, this meeting with Cui Wensheng also made Zhao Jin think a lot of things, so he was quiet for a while, and Zhao Jin said again: "But even if this Cui eunuch is stronger, it is also the kind of strength that waits for the next, which is not commendable." ”

When Cui Wensheng came to Xuzhou from Fengyang Mansion, he only rode a carriage for dozens of dollars, but when he went back, he had a few more carriages, the reason was very simple, more than 10,000 taels of silver had to be transported back through a big car.

Such a guest left, Zhao Jin took Wang Zhaojing to see him off, before leaving, Eunuch Cui said earnestly: "Zhao Gongzi, you have to do it yourself, this road will definitely be a dead end, it is not easy for you to have such a rich situation now, further, take a step back is a big deal, you have to think about your parents, wife and child." ”

"Please rest assured that Zhao has always been worthy of a friend." Zhao Jin smiled and answered the question, after hearing this, Eunuch Cui just nodded, got in the car and left by himself, naturally there were more than 100 horseback riders escorting the other party out of Xuzhou and leaving Suzhou.
