Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 737;
Chapter 690;

This summer is a difficult summer, for many officials and many people, it is very difficult!

Because the imperial court did not send those civil servants down to inspect the local government affairs as in the past this year, but sent sixteen soldiers and horses, and the generals led a team to investigate the local affairs, and the methods were extremely tough.

Many people never made it through this summer, and were arrested by the imperial army, and their heads were hung in large wooden cages on the gates of various cities.

This time it was very fair, unprecedentedly fair, and the heads of many nobles were among them, not all of them were ordinary people, such as...the county magistrates, government officials, masters, etc., who were high above them before!

Seeing the nobles who used to be aloof, now hanging quietly in the cage and motionless, the common people's appetite for eating happily is much better than before.

These bloody heads did not frighten the timid people, on the contrary, most people were so excited that they scrambled to see the heads of those nobles.

Pointing while watching, all the gates of the city were overcrowded throughout the summer, and the scorching sun did not stop the excitement of the people looking at the heads.

Of course, not everyone is uncomfortable. For example, most people are happy. The bad guys who bullied them in the past were sent to the underworld. So the people are still very happy.

The clans of the Qiwang family with five surnames also felt sad and happy. Those clans who were beheaded were like mourning and concubine, and their days were like years!
And the thousands of vacancies gave many families hope, and the court announced new news, recommending and accepting their fate according to the past practice, but this is the last time, because the notice of the court clearly states that the next time The selection of officials requires an imperial examination, which will end the millennium-old recommendation!

So this time is the last chance for all the nobles. After this time, if they want to serve in the court in the future, they have to fight and win in the examination room to become an official.

As a result, the aristocratic families in the world moved after hearing the news, giving gifts and asking for help everywhere. For those family members of corrupt officials who had not bathed for many days and were escorted to Chang'an, it became an overdue excitement. Where is the female family member of a corrupt official whom I fancy going?

The common people have to worry about it, because another shocking news spread all over the country at some time. The family members of these corrupt officials will be sent to those counties, and the government will open some brothels for these people. With his wife under him, many men are desperately saving money, secretly hiding money...

Qinghe Cui's eldest son, Cui Guang, is smashing things in his own house in Chang'an City. The reason is that he went out with gifts and got rejected several times. The reason given by those uncles is that Li Dalang deliberately explained a lot. In all places, pay attention to suppressing the eldest son of the Cui family. Originally, Cui Guang wanted to get a fifth-rank official position, but in the end he only got a small county magistrate of the eighth rank. Angrily, Cui Guang smashed many furniture in succession!

Yue Zipeng, a dog-headed military strategist, walked in at the entrance of the main hall;
"Don't be impatient, my lord. At least we have finally become officials. With our financial resources, we don't need to be greedy for the court's money, and we don't have to run on the people. With your ability, sir, you will definitely be able to make achievements. Naturally, you will be on the rise in the future. It’s not Li Yu’s, so he can stop the court from selecting talents?”

The angry Cui Guang relaxed his face when he heard the advice from the military adviser;

"But Zipeng, we still have a county magistrate on our heads, even if I have wisdom and strategies, I'm afraid it's not easy to use them."

Yue Zipeng comforted Cui Guang with a confident expression on his face;

"What's so difficult about it? If the Lord is concerned about this melancholy, there is no need for it. I have plenty of means to make the county magistrate obey the Lord's plan."

Seeing the sergeant's calm expression, Cui Guang was happy again;

"Hahahahaha, I knew Yunpeng could solve it for you. Tell me, do you already know the candidate for the county magistrate?"

"Of course, it is Mr. Lang, the second cousin of your third aunt's family who will be the chief official of our county."

"Oh? That's great. I didn't expect it to be my cousin who has the best relationship with me. Hahahaha, God helped me."

"I have some good news for Mr. Qi."

"Speak quickly."

"Your cousin has already dredged his joints, and he got a sixth-rank position. He was worried that others would gossip, so he deliberately won this county magistrate for a year and a half, and then he will leave, so we have to do something in this year. If you come up with some good things that are beneficial to the common people and can be written into the investigation book by the officials, then when your cousin leaves next year, sir, it will be a good time for you, sir, to be promoted to the head of a county."

"Hahahahahaha, alright, Zipeng, you are right, don't worry, let's take our time, after we have settled down as the county magistrate, we will try to be poor at the government office, I am still young, and I have plenty of time, as long as I work hard, I can do it too When Aye was young, he was a second-rank senior member."

"I also believe this, but there is still a matter of money that I want to report to you, sir."

Cui Guang looked at his dog-headed military division with some differences;
"Yunpeng, why are you still being polite to me? You and I grew up together, like brothers and siblings, it doesn't matter if you have something to say!"

"In order to confirm the ownership of the county magistrate after your cousin left, and to be promoted to the government office three years later to do a job from the sixth rank, I used five treasures in our treasury plus 11 guan of silver and silk. Lang Jun approves to make decisions without authorization and asks Lang Jun to punish him."

Cui Guang was stunned when he heard this, and after a long gap, he looked up to the sky and laughed wildly;

"Hahahahahahahahaha, God helped me, God helped me."

After laughing wildly, Cui Guang looked at the three concubines around him, and then at the dog-headed military commander. He knew what his brother liked, and he didn't care about anything except women, especially his own women. This loyal, resourceful and resourceful subordinate Everyone likes it.

Cui Guang doesn't care much about the love between men and women. It may be because of the weight of two or three hundred catties, or because of the great matter of competing for the patriarch. In order to reward this think tank, Cui Guang once rewarded Yue Zipeng with two concubines. , but this wise subordinate didn't accept it, he just asked to play for a few days, and then returned it.
Cui Guang, who walked back and forth twice, seemed to have thought of something, looking at the two beautiful concubines, and then at the loyal subordinates;

"Zipeng, I know that you don't covet money, silk, or power. You've been busy with our Dafang's affairs since you were a child, thank you for your hard work!"

Yue Zipeng looked generously at the two concubines, Cui Guang, and bent down;
"What the minister should do."

"There is nothing else to be an elder brother. These wives and concubines are not bad. As long as you like it, let them serve you tonight."

"Thank you for the reward."

"Why are you being polite to me? What's mine is yours. By the way, Zipeng, when do you think you can do something about the death-killing thing I mentioned to you a while ago?"

Yue Zipeng, who was fantasizing about how he would fall in love with his master who had been thinking about him for several years at night, immediately frowned when he heard this;

"It's not the time to go back to Mr. Lang."

"Oh, it's not the right time? After all... oh..."

"Don't be impatient, Mr. Lang. Now that guy has turned his clansmen into Anxiwei, and the imperial court has issued a full set of armor. Thirteen thousand troops surround him, as strong as iron bars. It's really not the time to act rashly, Lang You only care about your own bright future, and when Lang Jun stands in a high position, are you afraid that you won't be able to deal with him?"

"Well, I heard your Zipeng, oh, by the way, what's going on with Aye recently?"

"Back to Lord Lang, Qiniang has taken a lot of power in her hands, and the backyard is her world again, but the subordinates also got the news that Qiniang invited many good doctors to the clan to treat the chief patriarch and continue his life. The subordinates speculate that they won’t be able to leave within a year or two.”

"I don't worry about that, I'm afraid that if I leave suddenly, the clan will be in chaos. The second brother is too busy recently. I see him still unwilling to give up. Zipeng, you must take care of the second child and don't let go .”

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang, he has been staring at that side, and even Mr. San Lang has been staring at him and has not dared to relax."

"That's good, what has the third child been up to lately?"

"Back to Mr. Lang, those idiots hooked up with the widow of a dead man in Xicheng, and the widow's two concubines. I heard that the widow's man was a sixth-rank official, and he was found out by General Yuchi's subordinates." For many crimes, they were beheaded for public display, Mr. San Lang is asking for favors these days, and wants to keep these women as an outer courtyard."

Cui Guang snorted dismissively;
"A worthless thing, jumping up and down for a few women, as for? Where are there no women? Why offend the court for a few sinners? Offend His Majesty the Emperor? What a fool! I guess I am afraid that when the man is not dead, The third child hooked up with others, right? Hmph!"

"Mr. Lang's fortune is true. As expected, I also know it clearly. Mr. Sanlang and this widow have been married for more than three months, but the woman's husband was beheaded for less than a month. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that, in fact, this is not the case. Alright, Mr. Sanlang only cares about being happy and happy, and saves one opponent, and the rest are concubines. Only Mr. Erlang can compete with Mr. Lang. As long as Mr. Sanlang concentrates on eating, drinking and having fun, we can relax a lot. So as not to be on guard at both ends.”

Cui Guang happily sat on the spacious bed;
"Zipeng is right. As long as the third child wants to play, it is my duty as the eldest brother. I will find as many as I want, and let him play enough!"

"Lang Jun, we have to make arrangements for the Silk Road."

Hearing the military adviser bring up this topic again, he urged Guang to keep stroking his forehead with one hand;

"The affairs in the officialdom have to be managed, the family has to fight, and money and silk have to be earned. It's a bunch of things!"

Yue Zipeng nodded, expressing his support and approval for Cui Guang's complaint;
"Yes sir, there are indeed a lot of things. There are also our clansmen to take care of, the land and fields to take care of, the training of the dead, and the business of those shops. You have to worry about everything. Don't worry about one thing. There's going to be a problem."

Scratching his head, Cui Guang looked at his military adviser in admiration;

"That's why I admire you, Zipeng. You have been worrying about these things all these years. I feel a headache to death just listening to it. What's more, you have been in charge of it all these years?"

"Lang Jun's absurd praise. Zipeng has only one master in his life, and that is you, Langjun. You are Zipeng's sky, and you are Zipeng's land. Zipeng will not complain when he is exhausted."

"Good Zipeng, I have you in this life..."

"Lang Jun doesn't need to say anything, Zipeng's life belongs to Lang Jun, let's talk about the Silk Road."

"Okay, Zipeng, what do you think we should do? I'll just follow your arrangement."

"My subordinates have heard the news that the last caravan on the Silk Road is coming back. It is estimated that they will be able to return to Chang'an in ten to twenty days. After the previous trials, there must be a large number of foreign caravans following. Come here, when the time comes, we will have a caravan to go back with those foreigners, and we will definitely be able to exchange a lot of treasures back. Needless to say, we will definitely be able to earn a lot of money and silk.

There is one thing Li Yu's subordinates agree with, that with enough money in hand, big things can be solved easily, so making money is the most important thing. Take a step back and say, if we can't win the position of patriarch, You don't have to be a clan elder, just ask the clan to split the family and live another life. At that time, you will still be the head of the clan. As long as you have enough money, it is not a big problem to go to a foreign country to buy land and become the supreme. I don't know. Do you think so? "

Cui Guang became more excited the more he listened, and walked back and forth on the ground with his shoes on;
"That's right! Zipeng, what you say is always right. This time it's still the truth. You're right. Making money is the most important thing. You can do whatever you say, Zipeng. Our side You have been in charge of it for 30 years, don't ask me."

"The subordinates want to report to you before they can act. The gentleman is the master, and the subordinates are ministers. Of course, they must report clearly."

"No need, no need, you still have the final say on the affairs on the Silk Road, and you can decide how to arrange it next."

"It's Mr. Lang, and his subordinates are already making arrangements. Our caravan will never be inferior to anyone else. Mr. Lang can just rest assured and collect the money."

"Hahahaha, I have Zipeng by your side, it's so relaxing. Well, let's not talk about it, I have to go to sleep for a while. My damn body needs to sleep for a long, long time every day to recover from fatigue."

Cui Guang walked out while talking, not forgetting to turn around and order the two concubines;
"Give Zipeng a better service!"

The two concubines bent down and agreed;
"It's Mr. Lang."

"By the way, Zipeng, you don't have to wait for me to reward you before finding them to sleep with. The people around me, I know better than anyone else. I'm not a fool. With your power in our family, you can do whatever you want.

But you have never stepped into the backyard without consent. I also know that you like married women, but you have never had any private dealings with any concubine in the backyard.
