Water Margin farming to become powerful

Chapter 259

Listening to Le He's account of the current accounts of the village, Sun Xin also sighed in his heart, he was also anxious.

Obviously, the war between Liao and Jin in my memory should be intense at this time, but there is no movement at Fourth Sister Zeng in the north.

Sun Xin could only say: "It's useless to worry, just push the car if it doesn't fall down, let's move forward first."

Lehe nodded.

The next morning, Sun Xin asked the farmer to pick up several loads of gifts, and he and Hu Sanniang rode to Dengzhou City.

When he arrived at Zongze's mansion, he had already posted a post about his visit two days earlier, and at this time he gave Zongze's family a piece of silver. After a short wait, Zongze's family came out with a smile on their faces Said to Sun Xin: "My lord, please come in quickly."

"Thank you." Sun Xin smiled.

The family saw that he was lavish and friendly, and the smile on his face grew wider, thinking that this guy really woke up, no wonder the whole Dengzhou talked about the benefits of Sun Xinyuan.

Walking into the back hall, Zong Ze didn't go to the yamen to work today, and Sun Xin saw him wearing a scholar's robe sitting between the cold pavilions in the back garden, staring at the unreleased Han Mei in a daze.

"My lord."

Hearing Sun Xin's voice, Zong Ze was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "It turns out that the owner Sun has arrived."

Zong Ze was the chief official of the local area, so seeing a landlord like Sun Xin certainly didn't need any great courtesy, he just smiled and didn't need to get up.

He pointed to the stone bench in front of him, on which a warm cushion had already been laid.

Sun Xin saluted Zong Ze, and sat down tremblingly, touching only half of his buttocks.

"Have you read the book I wrote for you?"

"I have already read it."

Zong Ze nodded and smiled, "I don't know what Zhuang Zhu Sun is thinking."

Sun Xin made a hesitant look, then shook his head and said: "Your Excellency wants me to fill a vacancy in Dengzhou Mansion, but I haven't read any books since I was a child, I'm afraid I can't help you in doing things. What are you busy with, and there are so many things in Zhuangzi now, I'm afraid..."

In the letter sent by Zongze that day, he said that he wanted Sun Xin to fill in a lack of officials in his mansion.

This is obviously a way to win him over.

The Song Dynasty was a combination of officials and officials. Although it is very difficult to become a local official all the way from an official, it is not impossible. Having the status of an official can be regarded as an inch of progress on the road to official career.

Just like Song Jiang used to be just a magistrate in Yuncheng County, but he can also be respected locally, and it is possible to be an official for a long time in the future.

Zong Ze wrote this letter with good intentions. Sun Xin knew that he probably took a fancy to his rapidly rising strength near Dengzhou. Officials from other places like Zong Ze like to promote and appoint local talents to handle affairs. With such a powerful Sun Xin as his minion in Dengzhou, it will be much easier for him to do anything.

But Sun Xin doesn't want to be tied to Zongze now. He knows that once he works under Zongze, he will be tied up wherever he goes in the future, and Zongze can't stay in Dengzhou forever. Facing relegation, Sun Xin naturally didn't want to go to this troubled water.

Zong Ze originally thought that he would be overwhelmed with gratitude for such a favor that he had offered him, but he didn't expect that he would reject him directly as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zong Ze was stunned for a moment, but then he inevitably lost face:

"What? Did an official wrong you?"

Sun Xin quickly said, "It's not wrong, it's just that I'm really inappropriate..."

But I didn't want Zongze to snort directly: "I saw your benevolence and righteousness when you gathered the refugees before, and the rectification of the farmland was also neat and tidy. Later, you helped the farmer to protect the environment and the people. I also said that you are really eager for success. ..."

At this time, Sun Xin also saw that Zong Ze was in a bad mood today, and wondered how he had come across him at such a time.

But he absolutely could not agree to this matter, so he could only say: "If your lord has any other orders, you can send someone to Sun Family Manor. I, Sun Xin, will definitely support it as much as possible."

Although Zongze is an old official who has been in office for many years, he still has the ambition to speak quickly in his heart. If not, he would not have the pride to defend Bianliang independently against the Jin army.

Normally, these auras can be disguised with smoothness, but he admired Sun Xin, a young man, and once made him a confidant. Today, he thought he could accept Sun Xin as his subordinate, but unexpectedly, he was pushed back directly. Couldn't help but spill it out.

Under the circumstances, Sun Xin's polite words sounded like a total excuse to him, and he was even more displeased.

Zong Ze immediately stood up and said, "Come on, go if you don't want to."

Sun Xin opened his mouth in embarrassment, at this moment Zong Ze picked up the gift list he had put on the case to look at it, and then sneered.

This Sun Xin really doesn't know what to do.

"Do you still think that I, Zongze, promoted you as an official just to blackmail your money?"

Before Sun Xin could speak, Zong Ze threw back the gift list and said, "Take it!"

"How many people want to go my way, but they can't get through, haha, you are still looking down on people!"

Sun Xin couldn't help smiling wryly in his heart, knowing that he was speaking at this time, he might make the official's impression worse, so he could only salute and get up to leave.

Not long after he went outside, Hu Sanniang also came out from the back door.

As soon as she saw Sun Xin, Hu Sanniang said with a puzzled look: "What's the matter? I was talking to his lady earlier, and suddenly I was kicked out. Is there something wrong with us?"

"It's okay, it's just that he wants to recruit me as an official, and I don't want to."

Hu Sanniang was quite surprised when he heard the words. He didn't ask Sun Xin why he didn't do it, but was worried: "He won't trouble us, will he?"

"That's not the case. Zong Tongpan is an upright person after all, and based on the power of our Sun Family Village, it may be difficult for him to trouble us even if he wants to trouble us. We will just make friends slowly in the future."

Before the two of them left, they saw the back door of Zongze's mansion open, and the two servants came out carrying the gifts Sun Xin had sent in.

With two bang bangs, the burden was placed in front of Sun Xin's whip.

"Hey, stay here, this is..." Sun Xin hurriedly stopped the servant who had received Sun Xin's money before.

The servant turned around but could only smile wryly.

"The master has spoken, how can I say it, the officials should go on their own."

After they finished speaking, they left, and the back door was closed immediately.

Hu Sanniang stared blankly at this scene, and then instantly felt wronged for Sun Xin.

"We send things to his house with such good intentions, isn't it too impolite for him to treat us like this? He is really bullying our Sun Family Village."

Sun Xin grabbed his aggrieved daughter-in-law with a smile and said, "It's useless for you to be angry here. If we make a big deal in the future, he won't dare to treat us like this."

Hu Sanniang glanced at him and saw that he was not very angry, so she accepted it.

She sighed, "I'm just wronged for you."
