Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 847 You're Dirty Again
When it comes to the question of whether Qian Huaizhi would cheat him, it would be a bad idea to go to the dining room first and not give an immediate answer. Gu Wenxuan knows his wife very well.

——The food will be tasteless.

He simply helped Zhou Banxia to the front of the warm kang, let her sit firmly on the edge of the kang, and then he could kill two birds with one stone while checking whether her calf was swollen.

"Do you know the total value of the assets confiscated by the county government this time, and how much will be handed over to the court? I checked the accounts at Cheng's house this afternoon and saw the list.

Master Cheng felt that even though Senior Brother Qian was testing how good I was at arithmetic, he wanted to take advantage of Senior Brother Qian to give me a good opportunity to prove my strength to Prince Rui.

Do you remember the news in the court bulletin at the end of last year, which said that the Ministry of Revenue was being thoroughly investigated? Master Cheng also mentioned today that there was only one arithmetic question in the last imperial examination.

He probably thinks that scholars like me are the most needed talents in the court, but the teacher has retired, and Senior Brother Qian happened to come, and I thought I could use Senior Brother Qian to get in touch with Prince Rui. "

Think more!
Just like you, don't pinch my ankle! Zhou Banxia shook his head, "It's not swollen, it's fine. He knows that he has to help you choose the golden thigh first, why doesn't he become an official himself?"

"The county magistrate is also an official."

"Yes, go on."

"The reason why he seems to be repaying his father-in-law's kindness and coming here to teach is probably because there is not much support behind him."

You can be bold and remove the word "estimated"!

It's not just an estimate, it's a certainty that when he was the county magistrate, he was the same as the previous county magistrate here, or even worse than the previous county magistrate here. His power was completely hollowed out by his subordinates.

Just like Master Lin from Jingshan Academy.

Say there are people behind you, your opponent has a stronger backer, and your own ability is average, so it is better for you to quit while you are ahead, and you can still teach and educate others.

"When I said goodbye today, Master Cheng mentioned again the candidates who had the best chance of winning this year's Autumn Examination. He still wanted me to win first place.

But Qian Huaizhi was not so bored. The real purpose of him checking the accounts with me one last time was just to show me through his actions that he trusted me.

Besides, in addition to the old and new account books, he also showed me the list of things that the county government will hand over to the court. I am also his witness."

Why not!

Uncle Cheng will definitely ask Master Cheng about how you brothers get along. Then when your uncle comes back, you can praise him more. Qian Huaizhi will make money again.

"There is no such thing as good things without a reason in this world. Not to mention brothers who share the same master, even brothers can still quarrel over interests. It's just that I have you behind me.

You not only represent the master, but also Mr. Gao, and now Uncle Qi has joined us. Don't underestimate your influence, his wife will be here soon."

clear.

Lady diplomacy.

Be careful of his wife.

"As for Qian Huaizhi, from what I have seen from my interactions with him, he is a shrewd person, not a scholar, but he is also very scheming.

No matter how humble he pretends to be, he cannot hide the fact that people are divided into different classes. He is a more realistic person, but as an official, he is already very good.

This time he was the only one who took office, and the various forces did not dare to act rashly, and they only handed over as much as they should to the court. If another county magistrate could confiscate half of the money, he would be a capable official.

Besides, it's not given to us for free. We can't even go with the flow with such a small amount of stuff. How can they cheat us? It's unreasonable to refuse it again and again."

Who doesn't know how offensive it is to keep refusing when the other person has already smiled at you? It makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Will the compensation for the victims be in place?"

Gu Wenxuan knew she would ask this question. Fortunately, he went to the county government office after leaving Cheng's house. Now he can be 100% sure of one thing. "Even the case of Mr. Lin lending money at a high interest rate has been uncovered this time. Senior Brother Qian doesn't lack money, but he still wants a good reputation."

All the good people have been taken over by him!
What's more, he is a second-generation minister of a good family, and has a grandfather who is a patriarch of the royal family. He also has a good reputation as an official. How can this be possible? !

"I roughly calculated that we need to spend about 20,000 taels of silver. We can just borrow the money from the Qian and Jiang families to get the goods to match this source."

Six shops, five farms, and twenty thousand taels of silver?
Could the shops and farms of the Huang and Qian families be small and bad?

It’s not as valuable as in Beijing, it’s so cheap.

"You're dirty again, Xuanzi."

Gu Wenxuan laughed.

Look!
You've got it!
I knew you were dishonest!

Still laughing?

Zhou Banxia patted him with disdain, "What about your eldest brother?"

"He pays his own way."

"Don't change the subject. You know what I want to ask."

"I picked it out. He doesn't know how much it cost."

"Where's the banknote?"

"Not sent back with the list?"

"I really beat you up!"

"Brother, you know that the banknotes I brought over this morning were only the income from the workshop, not the net income. Since I dare to show it, I will not fail to consider it carefully."

Aren’t you tired of having to worry so much every day?
"Just put your mind at ease! There's nothing wrong with my elder brother, and Qian Huaizhi's problem is even smaller. He himself is like a big piece of fat meat, and he still wants to cheat me?
I didn't take a bite of his fat meat because of his father, and also because when he first arrived, he knew to avoid getting involved with us.

Think about it, his father is far inferior to my master. As my master's most outstanding disciple, how can I not be able to deal with him and bring shame to my master?
It just so happens that I have nothing to do right now, and I have a senior brother with a distinguished background to play with, so I can practice with him and prove to the teacher that I have done a good job in my studies."

This looks like he’s enjoying it!

My hands are itchy!
Zhou Banxia laughed and shook his head, "So, uncle thinks that among you fellow disciples, only you and Qian Huaizhi can be a match for each other?"

"I think so. When the teacher was teaching me those things, he probably wanted to find someone for me to compete with, so that I wouldn't become arrogant.

Among the candidates, Senior Brother Qian is undoubtedly the most suitable. He has a family background that I don't have, and he can become a Jinshi before the age of 30. He also has outstanding talents.

Another thing is, who else among his fellow disciples can do whatever he wants? Even though the teacher didn't say it, I can guess that Senior Brother Qian is more favored by the emperor than his eldest cousin from his uncle's family.

Having such a person interacting with me more often will naturally bring more benefits than disadvantages. If I were a gentleman, I would also think about Brother Qian coming here to serve as the county magistrate.

Of course, the main reason is that the gentleman knows that I learn everything very quickly. The only thing that makes him regretful is that I am too kind-hearted, too sentimental, and don’t know how to be roundabout! ”

anything else?
Is that all?
Why don’t you continue?

You were talking fine at first, but then you went off topic and said you were too kind? It would be better to just point out the names, but you are so roundabout and keep talking in circles!
"do not move."

"Isn't that the end?"
