Sheng Fu

After Xu Huanshan left, Qian Ling took off the mask and casually threw it to Yu Wenjun, saying, "I should go too."

Yu Wenjun was surprised again and said: "The back kitchen is busy, if you leave, I will not treat guests well."

Qian Ling said: "I just came to see you on a whim. You are thinking too much. I don't want to stay here for a long time."

Yu Wenjun was slightly at a loss and said: "Since it was a whim, why not have a meal on a whim, don't worry, I didn't poison the food."

Qian Ling chuckled and said, "That's really good, then I will reluctantly stay for a meal."

……

In the post station, Xie Yiming and Duanmuzhi came to the table. There were no delicacies from mountains and seas. They were all famous snacks in the imperial capital. They made up a whole table. Before Duanmuzhi left the imperial capital, these snacks accompanied Duanmuzhi's Wu Zang Temple.

During those peaceful days and nights in the city of Hao'an, Duanmu Zhi wanted to go back to the imperial capital many times, go to the familiar market, and eat a few bowls of snacks from the imperial capital.

Now that the dream has come true, Duanmu Zhi is a little bit unhappy, seeing Duanmu Zhi's serious expression, Xie Yiming who is sitting across from him smiled lightly and said: "Eat at ease, it's not a meal of beheading, I assure you with the honor of King Nan. "

Duanmuzhi smiled bitterly. As a member of the dignitaries in the imperial capital in the past, returning to the familiar imperial capital, there is naturally a gap in his heart. A person who has experienced a lot of prosperity, goes to the city of Hao'an to serve as a parent officer, just like a young The beautiful girl's family turned into a yellow-faced woman who was detested overnight.

Just about to answer, a slightly cold and reserved voice sounded: "Maybe this is a meal of severed heads."

Duanmuzhi was slightly taken aback, Xie Yiming raised his head and looked towards the door, the Deputy Prime Minister came.

Bai Xiaowei looked at the snacks on this table, he couldn't whet his appetite because he often ate these snacks.

Seeing this, Duanmuzhi hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty Duanmuzhi, I have seen the Prime Minister."

Xie Yiming looked at Bai Xiaowei with a little puzzlement, not knowing what the trouble was.

Bai Xiaowei raised his hand slightly, and a soft qi made Duanmu, who bowed slightly, straighten his back, Bai Xiaowei said: "There is no need to be polite, you used to be the prime minister, and now you are like this, it will only make me feel It’s so sad and helpless to be an official.”

Duanmuzhi's smile became even more bitter.

They are also vice prime ministers. Duanmuzhi’s mansion in the past was just a small courtyard in a certain alley, unlike the vice prime minister in front of me. It is even more beautiful and luxurious, the gap is really big.

Duanmu said straightly: "Your Excellency is really good at joking."

Bai Xiaowei walked up to Duanmuzhi, patted Duanmuzhi's shoulder, and the three old men sat down together.

Xie Yiming started to pour the wine, and asked curiously: "The fact that you are here should not be known by outsiders."

Bai Xiaowei glanced at Xie Yiming indifferently, and said, "I came across the void."

Xie Yiming put the wine bottle on the table with a little disappointment.

When Bai Xiaowei came, the gap in Duanmuzhi's heart was even bigger. When he was the deputy prime minister, he could only handle some busy matters for Mr. Qiu Qing, and even most of the time, he couldn't even see the face of His Majesty the Emperor. superior.

And this deputy prime minister has won His Majesty's trust, and his political achievements and cultivation are all above his own.

The only thing below me is age.

Bai Xiaowei said: "Don't worry about the red tape, you can eat what you can, drink what you can, don't worry, it was just a joke, it's not a meal."

Duanmuzhi was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to reply.

Xie Yiming explained patiently from the side: "Actually, this Prime Minister is a very humorous person."

Duanmuzhi just came back to his senses, nodded lightly and said: "So that's the case, I'm superficial."

Bai Xiaowei took a mouthful of cold beef and said: "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month will come soon. For the next few days, you should stay here first. When you leave later, I will give you enough money. You can take it with you." After returning to the city of Hao'an, you can repair your own city lord's mansion, and you can also distribute it to the people there, and you can take drastic measures for some political measures."

"After the beginning of spring, if there is no battle, there may be merchants from the Spirit Race going to you for trade. The city of Hao'an also has its own advantages."

After hearing this, Duanmu felt a wave of turmoil in his heart. He knew that the real power in the hands of the deputy prime minister was much greater than when he was the deputy prime minister in the past.

"I don't know what the advantage is?" Duanmuzhi asked with a confused face.

Xie Yiming also looked at Bai Xiaowei with a confused face. Sometimes this person seems to be talking nonsense, but in fact he has a lot of articles in it. As a politician, Bai Xiaowei's cultivation is higher than that of Xie Yiming.

Bai Xiaowei said: "The city of Hao'an, the wilderness plain, is suitable for raising horses. There are no villages and shops behind. It is really difficult to develop and grow. It is a place that many people despise."

"But there is no factional dispute there. It is a very quiet place. Generally speaking, it is still connected to the rest of the northern states and counties, but the distance is a little far away."

"After the beginning of spring, the Spirit Race Business Travel will set up a stronghold in the city of Hao'an, dealing in crystal porcelain and other businesses, as well as Spirit Race specialties, etc., and will talk to you directly at that time."

"At first there won't be too much noise, but as long as a large number of people flow into it, the vitality of a city will gradually increase, and Yuwenjun will also have a plan there. In fact, you all know that Yuwenjun and Ling There are also close contacts between clans.”

After Xie Yiming heard it, he recalled it.

"Hengchangzong's current treasury is empty and there is not much real money, so that money came from the treasury of the Spirit Race?" Xie Yiming asked uneasy.

Bai Xiaowei smiled lightly and said: "This time, Lord Yuwen wants to weaken the northern clan again, seek good fortune for the common people, and implement many measures. Naturally, above the temple, we must give Yuwen Lord more or less some rewards."

"The Spirit Clan is far away from the north of the Human Clan, and Yuwenjun's Henglong Mountain is not close to the north. It is very difficult for them to have trouble with each other. They are good to everyone, and they can step down with dignity."

Xie Yiming said: "It's really a clever plan, but I don't know that using the city of Hao'an as a trading base will cost a lot of real gold and silver. Yuwen Jun really has such a big face, let the Lingzu descend So much money?"

Bai Xiaowei pretended to be helpless and said: "I don't know, I shouldn't ask about things, and I can't talk too much. He has such a good relationship with the spirit clan, so there are naturally some inside stories that cannot be known by outsiders."

"Your Highness Nanwang, your brain is getting worse and worse. Could it be that you have eaten too much during the Chinese New Year?"

Xie Yiming: "..."

"Very good, I just found out about this matter, and before I knew it, Yu Wenjun implemented another matter."

Bai Xiaowei took a few mouthfuls of food for Duanmuzhi, and said with a subtle smile: "Before the spring, the position of the city lord of Hao'an City was despised by others. After the spring, the position of the city lord of Hao'an City will not be rejected Dislike, and even be robbed by others, you can keep your own black hat."

Duanmu laughed again and again: "Thank you for your advice, my lord."

Bai Xiaowei deliberately asked: "You shouldn't bear any grudges against me, right? Without me, you would still be the Deputy Prime Minister."

Duanmuzhi's expression suddenly became extremely complicated, how should he reply to these words?
Xie Yiming coughed and said: "Don't be funny, this is a very upright minister, many qualities are worthy of you and me to imitate."

Bai Xiaowei said: "I also think it's the same. In a lifetime, there are really very few officials who can cultivate an upright spirit."

Duanmuzhi took a mouthful of food silently, he was not very good at speaking skills, especially Bai Xiaowei's speaking skills, which easily confused him.

But when he thinks that the people in Hao'an City will have a better life in the coming year, Duanmu Zhi is still very real in his heart, some people are like this, their public intentions outweigh their selfish ones.

But such people are often unsuccessful, which is really puzzling.
