Chapter 349 Wang Xuan's Ambition ([-] words)
Instructed Yehuo to lead people to pay attention to the situation of Fuwei Escort Bureau. In the evening, Wang Xuan invited Qi Zhifu to have dinner together.

Qiu Shiju, at the gate.

"Haha, prefect Qi, please."

"Take it, please!"

The two walked up to the third floor side by side, and the food and drink were served. They exchanged greetings while watching the song and dance performance. Come drink."

"In a trance, I have known you for more than a year!"

"Indeed, in a blink of an eye, I have been in Fuzhou Mansion for over three years!" Qi Hongliang nodded.

Wang Xuan waved his hands around, and all the Yingying and Yanyan left, leaving only two people sitting opposite each other on the huge third floor.

When Qi Hongliang saw this posture, he knew that there was something important to discuss, but he was just wondering, with Wang Xuan's current power in Fujian, what other important matters needed to be discussed with him?
What he can do, Wang Xuan can also do, and what he can't do, Wang Xuan can still do.

"This is..."

"Master Qi, according to the rules of the imperial court, there is a big assessment every three years. This should be the key point, right?"

"Yeah, I have to thank Zaizhi for his help over the past year. The Fuzhou government has ruled all the backlog of cases. Don't tell me, there hasn't been a single case in more than a year. It can be said that the house is closed at night and the road is not picked up! What's even more commendable is that, Last year's court profits and taxes were also paid in full, which is rare in the history of Fuzhou!"

This is not an exaggeration. There is a saying in Fujian that 'nine parts of mountains and rivers and one part of fields', the arable area in the whole province is not much, and Ming Dynasty is a country that puts the most emphasis on agricultural taxes, and a large amount of land is concentrated in the hands of rich and powerful families. It can be said that it is a heavy burden to support the Fujian Capital Command of the Frontier Army. Over the years, the profits and taxes paid are almost negligible, and it is not worth transporting.

Only last year, with the help of Wang Xuan, the profits and taxes of the Fuzhou prefecture were paid in full, and regardless of whether the taxes could be sent to the capital in the end, Qi Hongliang made a big splash anyway. are important grounds.

"My lord, it's absurd. It's only natural to pay taxes according to the rules. How can I thank you." Wang Xuan pursed his lips and smiled.

"Hahaha." Qi Hongliang nodded Wang Xuan a few times and said with a smile, "Zaizhi was joking again. There are so many things that are just and right in this world. Just for this tax, one tenth of the country's normal payment is too much!"

"And those who have paid in full like Zaizhi, not to mention unique, are very few!"

Of course, Wang Xuan accepts it calmly, he, Wang, has three views and is upright, and he never does anything illegal!

As for the Wuhumen, the Yu family and the Wu family, they are doing justice for the heavens and have nothing to do with breaking the law!

"Then I don't know what Master Qi's plan is after this assessment?" Wang Xuan raised his head and looked at Qi Hongliang with burning eyes.

Qi Hongliang frowned, carefully thinking about the meaning of Wang Xuan's words, did he want him to stay?Or do you want him to take a step up?

Stay, nothing to say, everyone will continue to cooperate, everyone will make money if they have money, there is a saying that seeking an official from thousands of miles is only for money, and he has no regrets.

If it is a step higher, what good will it do for Wang Xuan?
"What do Zaizhi think the old man should do?"

Wang Xuan was not modest either, picked up the wine glass and drank it down, and said with a smile: "I think that a gentleman who is a pillar of the country, who is dedicated to the people, an upright official, and a gentleman who is educated by saints, if It is really a loss for the people of the country not to have a better environment to display their talents."

"Pfft." Even Qi Hongliang was familiar with the rules of the officialdom, and he was used to being praised on weekdays. He couldn't help but blush when he heard Wang Xuan's exaggeration to Chi Guoguo.

"Ahem!" He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and only then did he think about the meaning of Wang Xuan's words. He hoped that he would be promoted, but if he wanted to, it would be more beneficial to Wang Xuan if he continued to be in this position. Newcomers still have to adjust.

In fact, he also wants to be promoted. It is said that he wants to get promoted and make a fortune. It is of course good to go further. As far as he knows, Wang Xuan gave Li Shantang a lot more money than him. It's just that he doesn't have enough connections in the court, otherwise he wouldn't divide it. I have come to a place like Fujian, which is such a place where birds don't shit.

Qi Hongliang lowered his head and thought for a while, then sighed as soon as his eyes rolled: "There is no one in the court, so what can I do!"

"Hahahaha!" Wang Xuan laughed loudly and said, "No one in the court is afraid of anything!"

He said loudly: "Zhengyang, move the things up!"

"Yes, sir!"

After a while of answering, the dense and heavy footsteps of 'dongdongdong' came to mind, and a group of people came up one after another.

Qi Hongliang looked back and saw that every two men were carrying a big box, a total of ten boxes came up, and they made a heavy sound when they fell to the ground.

Just when Qi Hongliang vaguely guessed what it was and his heart beat faster, he heard Wang Xuan say: "Pour it all out!"

Looking back, Wang Xuan stood up and walked over, and Qi Hongliang quickly got up to follow.

The sound of "哗啦啦..." didn't stop, and a mountain of silver immediately piled up on the ground. Qi Hongliang blinked his eyes vigorously. It's really amazing how much money there is!
For a moment, Qi Hongliang's breathing suddenly became rapid, and he felt his heart was pounding as if it was about to jump out. He didn't even notice when he went downstairs.

Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, seeking officials from thousands of miles away only for money, mountains of gold and silver are dazzling, and the way of sages and sages is like clouds and smoke.

"Huh~~!" It took a long time for Qi Hongliang to recover from his stupor. To be honest, it was not that he was ignorant, but that he had never seen so much silver piled up together.

He is also a person with rich experience who can become a fourth-rank magistrate. After so many years, he has accumulated a lot, just for promotion and management. There is really not much left, and his current net worth is not as much as the money on the ground!
Most of his net worth was sent by Wang Xuan over the past year. The Ming Dynasty is not the Qing Dynasty, and the power of the local wealthy families is much greater than that of the Qing Dynasty, so it is not so easy to make money.

After all, when I was in the Qing Dynasty, the local gentry were only second-class people, and they became fourth-class people in the later period.

"What's the meaning of Zaizhi?" No matter how you say it, the magistrate of the fourth rank was attracted when he saw the silver mountain. Now that he has calmed down, he can still treat it calmly on the surface!

"Master Qi, do you think these things can break open the gates of the 'pillars of the country' in the court?" Wang Xuan looked at Qi Hongliang quietly, "I always think that nothing can't be bought with money. Yes, if there is, then you haven't spent enough!"

"Besides, we don't only have these things." Wang Xuan shouted again, "Master Peng!"

Following this shout, the sound of jingling rings reminded me that ten charming ladies with different faces and various styles came up. Qi Hongliang has seen too many beauties, especially after the opening of Qiu Shiju. , but so stunning, he has never seen many.

The most important thing is not only the difference in appearance, but also his own temperament. The unique charm emanating from these ten beauties is something that he himself cannot resist.

"Lord Qi, I have prepared enough money and beauties for you. I believe that the gates of the official department in the capital and the elders of the Chaozhong Pavilion will be opened for you!"

Hearing this, Qi Hongliang also laughed, with these things in place, it is safe!
Besides, this is just a way for Wang Xuan to express his meaning. At that time, there will be other important gifts, such as coral agate, pearl and emerald, as long as Qi Hongliang needs it, whether it is to 'borrow' or 'buy', Wang Xuan Get him all over here!

Qi Hongliang understood that his official career was set sail again, but Wang Xuan couldn't have nothing after paying such a price. After thinking about this, Qi Hongliang solemnly clasped his fists, "Where does Zaizhi think I should work better?"

"Governor of Guangdong!" Wang Xuan said firmly.

Qi Hongliang frowned, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Governor of Guangzhou?"

He really didn't expect that Wang Xuan would propose such an official position. In his mind, he would either enter the court as an official and make a name for Wang Xuan, or be transferred to a wealthy place in the south of the Yangtze River to open up a bigger market for Wang Xuan. Also go to Shandong, at least relatively rich.

But he never expected that Wang Xuan would let him go to Guangdong. That place is really poor, ranking fourth from the bottom in the entire Ming Dynasty. Only Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou provinces are poorer than him.

Now is not the later generations, not to mention the imperial court banning the sea, the area with developed sea trade is in the Jiangnan area, and the main communication is also between Japan and North Korea.

In this era, Southeast Asia was civilized by the generation of Luzon Island, and there was almost no communication with Ming Dynasty. At this time, Spain had just occupied the Philippines, and the permanent population in the Philippines was only 2000. It was not until the "My Qing Dynasty" period that Guangdong developed after communicating with Europe. of.

Guangdong is really not interesting now. The only thing worth seeing is salt. During the Hongwu period, a salt farm was set up there. The salt produced in Guangdong is supplied to Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou for consumption. Of course, there are also a large number of private salt dealers communicating with Huguang and Jiangxi.

For this reason, there have been several private salt rebellions.

"Why do you go there? It's extremely poor there, and only those who are assigned will go there. Is it because of the salt field?" Ask if you don't understand, there is no need to hide in front of the benefactor Qi Hongliang.

"The salt field is just a trivial matter!" Wang Xuan smiled confidently, "We were poor in Fujian before, if it wasn't because of our proximity to Zhejiang and Jiangxi, we would not be much better than Guangdong with just this little field!"

"However, if we look at Fujian now, will we still be poor in the future?"

Speaking of these, Qi Hongliang couldn't help nodding his head. It's really not poor. As the prefect of Fuzhou, he knows best. Over the past year, Wang Xuan has vigorously developed the textile and steel industries. Fujian Province, which had no output before, now has It is my own flagship product. Although the time is still short, I can't see much, but it can be predicted that the future development will only get better and better.

"So there is Zaizhi in Guangdong too?" Qi Hongliang suddenly realized.

"Of course, there are also large iron mines in Guangdong. Those in all walks of life don't need a lot of iron products, even if they mine more, they won't be enough. For all kinds of machinery, replacing parts with iron does not use more than wood. Already!"

The more serious Wang Xuan did not say, in fact, he not only valued Guangdong, but also Guangxi, and he would push Qi Hongliang to the position of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and what he valued was not only iron mines, but also Guangxi. There are also Annan and Southeast Asia!

How many things can be grown on a large piece of land!
Even if it's just growing food, it's no worse than Huguang!
At that time, there will be people who have money, food, and steel, so they can do something if they want to!

Now that Wang Xuan has said so, Qi Hongliang is relieved, as long as there is development there, no matter how poor Guangdong is, he is still a big official of the frontier, and in the future, he will be able to achieve the position of six ministers at worst if he jumps back to the capital in the future On the other hand, of course, none of this would be possible without the support of Wang Xuan!

The more important point is that it is much more convenient to operate a governor in that poor place in Guangdong!
After the important matter was finished, the two started chatting again. Qi Hongliang couldn't help asking: "Zaizhi is also from Juren, why didn't he become an official in person? With Zaizhi's ability, I believe he can join the cabinet sooner or later!"

"No hurry, no hurry, lay a solid foundation first. Even if I become an official, I don't want to start from the seventh-rank sesame official. There are benefits in the opposition. Breaking away from that political whirlpool can make better layout and manipulation. Why are these courts and cabinets always changing?" The speed is so fast, it is because the foundation is still not solid enough!"

"..." Qi Hongliang couldn't help but roll his eyes. Now, those ministers in the court, whoever is picked out at random, are people with deep foundations. I don't know how many gentry, rich, honorable, and colleagues are behind them. At that position, right here, the old man in front of him is still not reliable, and he doesn't know how reliable he is.

Does it have to be able to control the military and political power of a province and have the qualifications to challenge the imperial court to be considered reliable?
Suddenly, Qi Hongliang shuddered... This person in front of him is not walking the same way. Now there are 3000 elites in the Fuzhou Guard. The Ming army, even the tens of thousands of horses and horses commanded by the capital, may not be able to defeat the opponent.

In addition to its penetration into the local area, if it continues to develop like this, this Fujian...doesn't necessarily mean that the surname Zhu will follow the surname Wang!
Thinking about Guangdong, where I am going, if it continues to develop like this, it will not take ten years, and with the strength of two or three provinces, I can definitely push this one step to the sky!

Thinking of this, the way he looked at Wang Xuan changed again, raising another level from the position of the benefactor.

Wang Xuan naturally saw Qi Hongliang's sudden expression change, but he didn't care what the other party thought, as long as he fell into his urn, he wouldn't want to escape from his grasp.

From Wang Xuan's point of view, the entire Daming has gained a lot of luck. If he can turn the world around, let Daming get out of the quagmire, rejuvenate and even expand the territory, then the luck he can gain will definitely far exceed the sum of the two!

He never thought about the founding king, firstly, the life of the emperor may not be easy for the powerful ministers, and secondly, the superiors will not let him!

As for his personal cultivation, he is not worried about it. If he gathers the power of the whole country for his own use, he is afraid that he will not be able to promote his own progress!

After the banquet was over, Qi Hongliang was sent away, and Wang Xuan also returned to the mansion.

On the other side, Fuwei Escort was not quiet either.

……

In a dark room, the three members of the Lin family looked at a dead body on the table. The chest had been cut open. Lin Zhennan picked up a bloody human heart from the dead man's chest and said, "A heart has been shaken to eighty-nine." The film, it really is...it really is..."

Mrs. Wang interjected: "Sure enough, it's the Qingcheng faction's 'Xinxin Palm'!"

Lin Zhennan nodded, remained silent, reached out to wipe off the blood on the oilcloth, and returned to the bedroom with his wife and children, "The enemy is indeed a master of the Qingcheng faction. Ma'am, what do you think should be done?"

"This matter started from the child. The child will go out tomorrow and fight him to the death. If he loses, he will kill him, that's all."

Lin Zhennan shook his head, "This man can shake people's hearts into pieces with one palm, yet leave no scars on the body of the deceased. This man's martial arts is so high that he is one of the best figures in the Qingcheng sect. He wants to kill you. Killed long ago."

"Perhaps he is afraid of Daddy's 72-way evil swordsmanship, otherwise why he never dared to fight with sword and spear, but just took advantage of people's unpreparedness and secretly harmed people?"

Lin Zhennan's face twitched. He usually bragged loudly, but he knew his own level. He really didn't know how to answer his son's question.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly made a siege, "Since the enemy is strong and the man can bend and stretch, let's avoid him for the time being. We set off for Luoyang overnight. Fortunately, we already know the origin of the enemy. It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years."

Lin Zhennan sat on the grand teacher's chair, pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Ping'er, you go and inform everyone in the bureau, everyone pack up, and leave together at dawn, and ask the accountant to distribute silver taels to everyone. After the incident, everyone Come back."

Lin Zhennan waited for his son to leave the room before he said: "Lady, let's change into the clothes of the master, and you will pretend to be a servant girl. At that time, more than 100 people will rush away. No matter how good the enemy's martial arts are, they will only be one or two people. Who are you going after?"

Mrs. Wang smiled and praised: "This plan is brilliant."

Afterwards, she went to fetch two sets of filthy clothes from the travelers, and changed into a set of green cloth clothes herself, with a blue cloth handkerchief wrapped around her head. Apart from her fair complexion, she looked like a peasant woman.

Lin Pingzhi was used to fine clothes and fine food, but felt that the clothes on his body smelled unbearable. He was unwilling to do so, but he had no choice.

At daybreak, guessing that the gate of the city had already been opened, Lin Zhennan ordered the gate to be opened. At that moment, more than a hundred people mounted their horses in the courtyard and rushed out.

But Lin Zhennan told his wife and son to stay behind, and said in a low voice: "Let them go north, but we go south. The enemy must know the details of our family and will definitely intercept us outside the north gate. We just go south. Make a big detour and go to Luoyang, and those bastards will definitely be caught in the air!"

All the way south out of the city, after crossing the Minjiang River, it was blocked by people.

Lin Zhennan and his wife hurried forward to block them, "Your Excellency's name? Are you from the Qingcheng sect?"

The man sneered and said: "With your skills in the Fuwei Escort Bureau, you are not worthy to ask me my name, but today I came here for revenge, so I have to let you know, yes, I am from the Qingcheng sect. My surname is Yu, called Yu Renhao."

Lin Zhennan nodded and said: "'Heroes and heroes, the four talents of Qingcheng', it turns out that you are one of the four disciples of Songfengguan. Wuyuan has no hatred recently, why did he suddenly kill him!"

Yu Renhao's face darkened, and he was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly someone in the pine forest said: "As the saying goes: Two fists are hard to defeat four hands. In that small hotel, Lin Shao's bodyguard led 24 bodyguards from the Fuwei Bodyguard Agency, and suddenly besieged me, Junior Brother Yu..."

As he spoke, he walked out. This man was small-headed and small-headed, waving a folding fan in his hand, and then said: "If you do it with a sword and a spear, that's fine. Even if there are many people in the Fuwei Escort Bureau, it's useless to be honest." But Lin Shao's escort not only poisoned my Junior Brother Yu's wine, but also put seventeen kinds of hidden weapons for feeding poison, hehe, this bitch is so vicious. We came to visit with good intentions, but we didn't expect it People will make sudden plots."

Lin Zhennan said: "Your Excellency's name?"

The man said: "Don't dare, the people below merely have the wisdom."

Lin Pingzhi picked up the long sword and stood aside angrily. Hearing the nonsense of this man, he immediately shouted angrily: "Fuck you! I have no grievances or enmity with him. I have never met. I don't know that he is from the Qingcheng sect, so why did you hurt him?"

Fang Renzhi shook his head and said, "Fart, fart! It stinks, it stinks! Since you have no grievances or enmity with Junior Brother Yu, why did you ambush more than [-] escorts and troopers outside the small hotel?" My junior brother Yu saw you flirting with a girl from a good family, and seeing the injustice, I knocked you down, taught you a lesson, and spared your life, but instead of being grateful, why did you order those dog guards to attack my junior brother Yu? "

Lin Pingzhi was so angry that his lungs would explode, and he shouted: "It turns out that the Qingcheng faction are all rogues who turn right and wrong!"

At this point, Lin Zhennan didn't want to reconcile anymore, and he rushed out after saying hello. At this time, another person walked out of the forest, and a three-on-three fight broke out, but the most intelligent of the three members of the Lin family was only Lin Zhennan, who was at the bottom. The opponent's opponent was captured after three strikes and five divisions.

"My ancestors, Gui'er, Gui Po, and Gui grandson surnamed Lin, the three of you, go see my master together." Jia Renda grabbed Lin Pingzhi's vest with his left hand, lifted it up, and bowed left and right, He slapped him twice, and cursed: "You son of a bitch, from today onwards, I will beat you eighteen times a day, all the way to Qingcheng Mountain in Sichuan, until your face turns into a big face!"

Under Lin Pingzhi's rage, he spit at him.The distance between the two was not more than a chi, but Jia Renda didn't have time to dodge, and hit him on the bridge of the nose with a slap.Jia Renda was furious, he threw him heavily to the ground, and kicked him on the back with his feet.

Fang Renzhi smiled and said: "Enough, enough! If you kick him to death, how will you explain to the master? This boy is like a big girl, but he can't stand your three punches or two kicks."

Jia Renda's martial arts were mediocre and his character was wretched. Master Gu never liked him, and his fellow apprentices looked down on him. Hearing what Fang Renzhi said, he didn't dare to kick him anymore, so he had to beat Lin Pingzhi repeatedly. Spit to vent anger.

Ye Huo, who was secluded far away, felt that it was almost done. According to Master Wang's order, the three members of the Lin family had fallen into a desperate situation, and it was time to act.

Leaping out of the forest, several people approached in a few flashes, unfolding the evil sword technique in his hand, and knocked down the three of them within a few strokes under Lin Zhennan's shocked gaze.

(That’s it for today, I wrote a day’s follow-up outline, thinking about the plot, and I’m asking for support, the subscription data has declined recently, the author also needs to make a living, and I hope everyone will take pity on me...)
