Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 369 Fujian
What's more, Liu Erleng has always been soft and not hardworking. Seeing Sun Canzheng bowed his head, Liu Erleng laughed, cupped his fists at Sun Canzheng and said, "Master Sun, Lao Liu is a rough man. Don't take it for granted when he speaks harshly. We I won’t mention it, in the future, Lao Liu will have to rely on everyone to help handle Jiangxi’s government affairs, and if he relies on Lao Liu himself, he may not be able to do anything.”

Sun Canzheng smiled wryly when he heard the words, and thought, "You still collect taxes without us? And the soldiers you send are obviously much more useful than the yamen guards. Who would dare not pay these big soldiers when they go to collect taxes?"

However, Sun Shenzheng also knew that Liu Erleng said this to save face for the officials present, and some words should never be taken seriously.

Seeing that Sun Canzheng was rendered speechless by Zong Chao's words, and subdued to Liu Erleng, the other Canzheng suddenly knew that he was alone and unable to contend with Liu Erleng, so he also bowed to Liu Erleng to admit his mistake.

Neither of the two politicians dared to challenge Liu Erleng anymore, and the councilors below naturally dared not resist even more. For a while, all the officials under the chief envoy expressed their loyalty to Liu Erleng.

Seeing that all the officials gave in, Zong Chao continued with a smile: "Since your lords realize that your own interests are closely related to taxes, then don't stand here and watch. Now that the merchants are paying taxes, you lords are all experts. , to help check it out, I still have something to discuss with Lord Liu, so I won’t accompany you adults.”

"Don't dare, dare not, my lord has a heavy responsibility, how dare we delay." Sun Shenzheng said hurriedly.

After finishing speaking, Sun Canzheng bowed his hands to Zong Chao, Luo Yangxing and Liu Erling, then greeted everyone, and then went to help supervise the taxation.

After everyone left the hall, Liu Er's eyes on Zong Chao suddenly changed. He walked to Zong Chao's side and patted Zong Chao's shoulder heavily: "Hahaha, amazing, a few words can convince these guys No wonder the commander-in-chief and fifth brother sent you over."

Zong Chao shook his head and said with a smile: "This is not due to me alone. If it were not for Mr. Luo, how would I know the details of these people. If Mr. Liu wants to thank, I should thank Mr. Luo."

Luo Yangxing waved his hands and smiled when he heard the words: "It's just a little effort, not to mention that we are all working for the commander in chief, and we are both subordinates of the fifth master. How can you and I be separated from each other?"

Liu Er laughed out loud, and gave Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing a thumbs-up: "That's right, you are loyal enough, and you have a temper with Lao Liu. Come, let's sit in the back hall, and I will treat the two brothers to drink."

Zong Chao hurriedly said: "Lord Liu, don't drink too much for now, Zong still has the commander's handbook here, you can read it first before talking about it."

Liu Er suddenly slapped his head when he heard this, "Damn it, you actually forgot the business, damn it, you two don't tell the commander when you go back, or I'll be scolded."

"Hahaha, Master Liu, do you think we look like snitches?" Zong Chao laughed.

Liu Er shook his head in a daze and said, "It's hard to say, you two are doing this job, I'd better be careful."

"Hahaha!" Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing laughed out loud.

While joking, the three of them went to the back hall.

After sitting down, Zong Chao took out two handwritten letters from his arms and handed them to Liu Erleng, saying, "My lord, please read."

"Why are there two handwritings?" Liu Erleng took it and asked strangely.

"Hehe, one is for your lord, and the other is for me and lord Luo, but the matter between me and lord Luo needs your help, so let me take a look at it together." Zong Chao laughed.

Liu Er nodded in a daze, opened the handbook and read it carefully.

After reading it, Liu Er was stunned for a while and said: "It's not difficult to escort Mr. Song to Beijing. You just need to send troops to Fenyi County to pick Mr. Song up. Mr. Song’s fellow researcher escorted them to Beijing, I don’t know where these people are, where can I find them?”

Zong Chao laughed and said, "This is easy to handle. After the adults find Mr. Song, ask Mr. Song to provide the address of the list. The adults only need to search according to the list."

"Yes! In this way, I can send Mr. Song to the capital in advance, and I will send a batch of the rest of them as soon as I find them." Liu Er nodded in a daze.

As he spoke, Liu Er hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that it's too much trouble to send people to the capital in batches like this? Brother, I don't know if I'll be unhappy when I see that I'm sloppy in doing things?"

After hearing this, Zong Chao asked suspiciously: "There are so many people in Jiangxi, right? Besides, didn't the commander tell you in the handbook how these people will be arranged in the future?"

"No, look at the commander-in-chief's handbook." Liu Er said in a daze, handing the handbook to Zong Chao.

Zong Chao took the handwritten letter and looked it over, and asked Liu Erling: "Did your lord not receive the mansion report from the governor? It is the mansion report about Mr. Song's appointment."

"Mansion report? What mansion report? I didn't receive it?" Liu Er wondered.

After hearing this, Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing looked at each other, and then smiled wryly: "Cough! We are to blame for this. Mr. Luo and I hurried to Jiangxi after receiving the order from the fifth master. It seems that we ran to report to the mansion. the head of the messenger.

Well, let me briefly tell you about the content of the Dibao. The governor is going to set up the Ministry of Industry, and appoint Mr. Song as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry and the vice president of the College of Agriculture and Engineering, and the sub-office used by Mr. Song In many places, local governments are asked to protect the safety of these people with all their heart. "

"Huh? No, the residence report is sent to the local government. It is only used to let the local government understand the imperial government's decree, not a real appointment. The governor should also issue a letter of appointment to Mr. Song alone? Who sent this letter? of?" Luo Yangxing said suddenly.

"That's right! There should be another handbook." Zong Chao also wondered.

When Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing looked at each other head-on, Liu Er was taken aback when he suddenly saw that there seemed to be something in the envelope containing the handwriting. He picked it up and saw that there was still a letter inside, and hurriedly said, "Here is another letter."

Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing were speechless when they heard the words: "Isn't this person too careless?"

Liu Er took out the letter in a daze, only to see the words on the envelope: Mr. Song Yingxing personally opened it.

Seeing the letter, Zong Chao smiled and said, "Lord Liu, you only need to hand over the letter to Mr. Song, and then follow Mr. Song's instructions."

Liu Erlen nodded slightly when he heard the words, then took out the handwritten letter written by Li Jing to Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing and read it. After reading it, Liu Erlen smiled and said, "This handwritten letter was ordered by the commander-in-chief to both of you. Don't you need my help?"

Zong Chao and Luo Yangxing smiled, and when Zong Chao signaled him to speak, Luo Yangxing cupped his fists and said, "Master Liu, if we change to another place, we brothers will naturally not notify the magistrate, but when we arrive at Master Liu's territory, If I don't notify you, won't I look down on you?"

"Don't talk about these useless things with me. As long as you help my eldest brother and fifth brother with your heart, everything here is easy to talk about, and you can look down on it." Liu Er waved his hands in a daze.

Luo Yangxing smiled wryly when he heard the words, and said: "That's right, what the Ministry of Security did this time will alarm many people, and you can't hide it. It is inevitable that someone here will sue you. If you don't inform you, you will spread the flames on everyone later." We brothers can’t afford to take the blame on us. In addition, if we can get the assistance of the local government in confiscating books, then we will get twice the result with half the effort, so we would like to ask Mr. Liu for help.”

"Hehe, you two have a good plan. I have to accept your kindness for helping you. Damn it, I let you do all the business. Okay, I agreed to this matter, and I will call you tomorrow." The soldiers of the battalion are enough, right?" Liu Er laughed blankly.

Hearing that Liu Erlang wanted to send troops, Luo Yangxing hurriedly said: "Master Liu is too polite, we dare not use the troops, and we don't need them. You only need to issue a warrant to let the local government send servants to cooperate. The key to confiscating the books this time is It is to find the person who bought the book, so we need an officer who is familiar with the local conditions to lead the way and send troops down, there is too much noise.”

"This is easy to handle. Tomorrow I will write a warrant for you to ask the people below to cooperate. If they dare not obey the order, you can tell me later. I won't kill them." Liu Er said in a daze.

"Then thank you, Lord Liu." Luo Yang and Zong Chao clasped their fists together.

"There's nothing else to do. Come on, let's drink. You are from Brother Wu, so don't be polite to me. His grandma's, since I came to Jiangxi, I haven't had a good drink. You two should accompany me well today." " Liu Er said with a wave of his hand.

Luo Yangxing glanced at Zong Chao, and said with a wry smile: "Since Master Liu invited you, I think you should be respectful and obedient."

Zong Chao smiled wryly, and said helplessly: "I heard that Mr. Liu drinks a lot. I'm afraid you and I are going to get very drunk today. Anyway, get drunk when you get drunk. It's yours and mine to drink with Mr. Liu." It's an honor to sacrifice my life to accompany the gentleman today!"

"Hahaha, refreshing, I like people like you. If you don't get drunk today, you won't return. Come and serve us with food and drinks." Liu Er laughed loudly.

Seeing that Liu Erlang was about to start drinking now, Zong Chao secretly sighed in his heart: the people below are all working, but he, the chief executive, is drinking, so he doesn't look like a governor.

However, there is one thing that Zong Chao has to admire. Liu Erlen is a man who dares to speak and act, and when dealing with the officials in Jiangxi, he will be ruthless and soft when he should be.I believe it won't be long before Jiangxi will be on the right track under his rule.

Zong Chao was sighing to himself, when he suddenly heard Liu Er asked in a daze: "By the way, why did you two come to Jiangxi together this time? Although the commander-in-chief values ​​this matter, there is no need for you two to go out together, right?"

Zong Chao laughed and said, "It's Master Luo's responsibility to collect books. I passed by here on other business and arrived at your place. If I don't pay my respects to you, the fifth master will scold me to death if he finds out about it?"

Liu Er was stunned for a moment, and even said his love, after thinking about it, he asked, "Where is Brother Zong planning to go?"

Zong Chao pondered for a while and said, "I'm going to take a trip to Fujian, but I can't tell you the specific things. I hope you will forgive me."

"What is so confidential that even I can't tell it?" Liu Er was puzzled.

Seeing Zong Chao's perplexed face, Liu Er dazed hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Well, if you can't say it, don't say it. I'm just curious that the commander-in-chief is currently focusing on the Eastern Captives and implementing the New Deal. Why are you going to Fujian?"
