After the relief food was loaded, Zhao Qingyuan, the eldest son of Marquis Nanxiong, rushed over with a large group of people, including an acquaintance.

This acquaintance is none other than Huang Zicheng, a well-known person from the Jiangxi Experimental Hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang came here just to see if the petty officials would use some tricks to embezzle some of their seemingly insignificant disaster relief funds.

Unexpectedly, Li Jun and Zhang Youwen handled so many things properly, and suppressed so many small officials.

Especially Li Jun, the former Tongji Gate inspector, Zhu Yuanzhang remembered him as a small military officer.

The road to Jing County is all by land, and the waterway is impassable, so the relief food cannot be transported by tank boat.

The relief envoy Zhao Qingyuan and deputy envoy Hu Hanshan led the caravan and rushed to Jing County on the official road.

Hu Hanshan led Li Jun in the back, and Zhao Qingyuan walked in the front of the disaster relief team with Huang Zicheng, the master Qianliang who was invited temporarily.

Zhao Qingyuan glanced back, and said calmly: "Jiangxi Master's reputation is not weaker than Shaoxing Master's. This time, I have to rely more on Master Huang."

Before Huang Zicheng and others became officials, an important source of money was to serve as mentors to Zhao Qingyuan and other officials and seek a job.

Because of the difference in talent, learning and reputation, the grades of officials who go to invite them are also different.

Huang Zicheng served Zhao Qingyuan as a money and food master this trip, partly for the 500 two great Ming treasures, and the other most important reason was for the reputation of being a money and grain master for the young master.

As long as he can handle the errand properly this time, Huang Zicheng's reputation will be raised to another level, and the rank of officials who come to him in the future will not be low.

Huang Zicheng was carefully looking through the yellow book to check the accounts of the food relief this time. He knew very well the methods used by the petty officials to dig up and change the vouchers, so he had to take some precautions.

Huang Zicheng didn't respond until he finished looking through the yellow book, "Don't worry, the proprietor, you know the reputation of Jiangxi Master, otherwise you wouldn't spend so much money to invite students to come."

"Regardless of whether the proprietor really wants to provide disaster relief this time, or whether he wants to make a fortune through the disaster relief, as long as Master Jiangxi accepts the assignment, he will definitely help the proprietor to complete this matter with all his strength."

Zhao Qingyuan's answer to Huang Zicheng was as expected. It was precisely because of the reputation that Master Jiangxi had accumulated over the years that he would spend 500 two great treasures to invite Huang Zicheng.

Zhao Qingyuan didn't hide it any more, and said with all his heart: "I'll tell you the truth, Mr. Huang, there's no need to get money. A young master like me won't be short of this money for disaster relief."

"My father asked me to serve as the disaster relief envoy this time. Master Huang must have known the real purpose. It is to help Hu Hanshan improve his reputation."

Zhao Qingyuan was a little annoyed when he said this, and he didn't take it seriously: "I don't want to participate in the affairs of the older generation."

"None of the young princes of the younger generation are convinced by Hu Hanshan, and this official is also quite critical of Hu Hanshan."

Speaking of this, there is no need to say the rest, Huang Zicheng already understood what Zhao Qingyuan meant.

Huang Zicheng also glanced back at the food caravan spreading, and said calmly, "This time, the proprietor must have the idea of ​​borrowing chickens to lay eggs."

These words touched Zhao Qingyuan's heart, and let him see how well the masters in Jiangxi pondered their minds, and felt that the money this time was indeed not in vain.

Huang Zicheng pondered for a moment, then changed to a more appropriate statement: "The student has already understood the intention of the proprietor, and it must be to make friends with the local bureaucrats and gentry, so as to improve the prestige of the proprietor in the officialdom."

Zhao Qingyuan picked up the blue and white glaze teapot and poured Huang Zicheng a cup himself.

Huang Zicheng stretched out his palm to the small round table of huanghuali in the carriage, picked up the bean green glaze tureen, and took a sip of it contentedly.

Such a subtle movement of the young master Zhao Qingyuan made Huang Zicheng understand from the bottom of his heart that the proprietor completely agreed with him.

Huang Zicheng just took a sip, and his eyes lit up: "Good tea! This is Huangshan pineapple tea that is picked every year to present a batch of high-quality pine tea to the palace."

Huang Zicheng couldn't help drinking a few more sips, and said with satisfaction: "It's not difficult to make friends with the local bureaucrats and gentry, but this matter still falls on the distribution of disaster relief food."

"As long as we distribute the relief food to the local bureaucrats and gentry, the local officialdom will have to accept the favor of the proprietor."

"The rest is to wait for the news to spread. Don't worry, the proprietor, the students will definitely mobilize contacts to promote this matter for the proprietor."

When Zhao Qingyuan invited Jiangxi masters, he didn't just ask them to give advice, but also valued the official connections behind them.

The main reason why Jiangxi masters are famous in Ming Dynasty is because of the complicated and huge relationship between Jiangxi masters from the same hometown and the same age.

Part of the 500 taels of silver was advertised to buy Jiangxi Master once.

Huang Zicheng drank a few more cups of Huangshan pineapple tea, and Zhizhu said, "The student knows Hu Hanshan a little bit, and he likes to fight against bureaucrats and gentry."

"I'm afraid I won't easily agree to let the bureaucratic gentry distribute the relief food. The way to do this may not be clear before. Now, Zhang Youwen should tell him everything."

This was what Zhao Qingyuan was most worried about, and he pretended to be listening attentively, waiting for Huang Zicheng's plan to come out.

Huang Zicheng has seen many tricky assignments over the years, but this is the first time he has seen someone as unreasonable as Hu Hanshan.

Hu Hanshan, as the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo who has power over the government and the public, can be said to be the first bureaucratic gentry in the world.

During this period of time, I have never seen him defend the bureaucratic gentry, but he has been fighting against the bureaucratic gentry.

Really pick up the chopsticks to eat, put down the chopsticks and throw the bowl.

This matter should be very difficult to handle in the hands of other masters.

Huang Zicheng didn't take it seriously: "It seems that the distribution of relief food needs Hu Hanshan's consent."

"But according to the rules of the officialdom, whoever can get the support of Ningguo government officials will have the final say on the distribution of disaster relief food."

Huang Zicheng pointed to the several carriages behind, and said leisurely, "Jing County is under the jurisdiction of Ningguo Mansion, so many officials have been sent to follow the disaster relief this time."

"The three most important people among them all have a close relationship with the students."

Zhao Qingyuan heard his provocative relationship, and knew that this time, the plan to improve the reputation of the officialdom was basically guaranteed.

Zhao Qingyuan couldn't help but thank Li Shanchang, the Duke of South Korea, for asking for advice at the Buddhist monastery of Dabaoen Temple a few days ago. It was Li Shanchang who vetoed his request to invite Fang Xiaoru, who was the most famous, and asked him to invite Huang Zicheng, who was less famous.

It seems that the sentence is true, it is not necessary to invite the best teacher, but the most correct teacher.
