"What?!" Zhang Qian was shocked, and urged Zhang Ruoxu, then ran away.

"Stop, even Erlang of the Guo family can't handle things. What's the use of you going?" Zhang Ruoxu grabbed his arm with agility that was extremely disproportionate to his age." Uncle Shi!" Fearing to pull the other party down, Zhang Qian struggled so hard that he dared not use too much force, so he had to protest with his eyes widened, "That's my family. Guo Er fought with someone in my family. The other party must be aimed at me..."

"The Erlang of the Guo family looks reckless on the surface, but in fact he has a gap in his chest!" Zhang Ruoxu refused to let go, and just stared at him with big eyes. "Since he dared to fight, he must have considered whether his family could hold on. Even if he didn't consider that when the two armies were fighting, he didn't even know who the enemy was, and you shouldn't be the leader himself!"

In the second half of the sentence, but when it came to the key point, Zhang Qian couldn't help but stop struggling, "Uncle Shi, do you say that what I came here today is just a small pawn?"

"I'm not sure, but you have to figure out who the other party is first!" Zhang Ruoxu let go of his hand, sneered and shook his head, "How many people can you offend if you are just a newcomer? The one who is in trouble for you now is probably not for the life-saving pill, or for the Liushen flower dew that has attracted all the women in Chang'an these days."

This is a judgment he made based on his past experience in the officialdom. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain clearly why some people came to Zhang Qian to trouble him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Ren Cong heard loudly denying, "No, no. Uncle Shi, senior brother, that person is the workshop clerk of Weinan County. It was not for Liushen Hualu, but to take the senior brother to work hard! It was said that Weinan County will repair canals and drain water this winter, and the senior brother has already independent doors and will serve as the chief of the battle in the native area!"

"Study Office?" This time, it was Zhang Ruoxu's turn to be confused, frowned and asked in a low voice, "Where did a little clerk get the courage to deliberately make things difficult for local gentry? Is he a newcomer? Or did you not hand over the mediocre money for serving the service this year when you paid the land tax this year?"

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the system of renting and mediocre adjustment has been implemented. In recent years, the imperial court has rarely used troops outside and implemented inaction and governance at home, so governments in various places rarely dispatched people to serve. Officials are also willing to let the people compensate for the service period they must serve every year according to the standard of three feet of silk or three feet, seven inches and five cents of cloth every day.

Zhang Ruoxu is old and is an official who retires and is a prosperous official, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about serving. In order not to suffer, wealthy families in the countryside will take the initiative to hand over the money to the government every year when paying land taxes. In his opinion, although Zhang Qian was just a little surprised by the rules of the Tang Dynasty, with the help of the brothers Guo Nu and Ren Cong, he shouldn't have made mistakes in this. Otherwise, Guo Nu and Ren Cong, two junior brothers, would be too careless!

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Ren Cong gave an angrily explanation, "I handed over it, why didn't I hand it over? I handed it in person at that time. It was because I had already handed over Yong, that second senior brother started fighting with the bookkeeper!"

"Why, the county government has not recorded the mediocre money? Or someone is greedy for it and then framed your senior brother?" Zhang Ruoxu felt even more incredible when he heard this. He walked out quickly side by side with Zhang Qian while digging into the bottom line.

"I've recorded the account, but I've returned it today!" He didn't ask Zeyi. When Guo's angry eyes began to fire again. "The Wei-school secretary said that when Weinan County first accepted Yong, he didn't expect that there would be an autumn flood in autumn. Now, based on the autumn flood situation, we plan ahead and make plans for the beginning of spring next year. So, how did Yong take it back then and how to withdraw now. Five days later, the senior brother must go to the yamen to take charge in person, otherwise, don't blame the government for being serious about doing things!"

This is obviously a deliberate way to find fault. No wonder Guo Nu couldn't help but get angry and got angry on the spot. However, Guo Nu was young and angrily, and got angry after being a little aggrieved. It's understandable that Zhang Ruoxu is nearly fifty years old, but he is not easily deceived by superficial phenomena.

Immediately, the old man accelerated his pace a little bit, and accompanied Zhang Qian back, smiling and shook his head: "Serious, how can you be serious? If you really want to be serious, why did they have to be greedy for money and leave their household registration for Zhao? In my opinion, this is just an excuse. In Weinan County, someone probably has been instructed to give Zhao some color to see. Or someone thinks that Zhao should not have a chance to get rich, so don't bring him with him!"

"Take him with him, then he must be qualified?" Ren Cong trotted and followed, seven dissatisfied and eight were resentful. "Even Duke Duan invested in real money. If he wanted to invest, could he just use his mouth..."

"It's not the clerk named Wei, it's the one behind him, or the one behind him." Zhang Ruoxu was very knowledgeable after all. While walking, he peeled off the truth behind the fog of "the clerk came to find faults" and peeled off the truth behind the fog that "the clerk came to find faults".

"This Wei Shuban is just a stone to explore the way. The people behind him either rely on "the county magistrate is worse than to manage it now" or have other reliances. And the last reliance is already so great that it can be on par with the Duke of Baoguo or the Guo governor's family. But no matter what, Zhao doesn't have to take action in person today. It's better to let Guo angri beat the Wei surname first. After the scout of the way, the main owner will at least send a ya to the future. At that time, Zhao may as well see him again!"

"Yes!" Zhang Qian had a serious lack of experience in how to deal with the government extortion in the eighth century, so he could only accept Zhang Ruoxu's proposal as required.

"I guess you won't give people any benefits, but it's not OK. But if you don't see the main owner, just take out the benefits. The other party will definitely be more aggressive. These clerks will take the opportunity to take advantage of it. So, just calm down and calm down!" Fearing that Zhang Qian and others were young and frivolous, the old man continued to add with a smile. "Come on, walk slowly. I'm older and can't keep up with you. The three of us, let's watch the fun from a distance for a while. Maybe before Guo Nu beat the Exploser to death, the next wave of troops of the main owner will arrive!"

As he spoke, he stopped, bent down and began to breathe heavily. Zhang Qian and Ren Cong heard that his mood was no longer as panicked as before. They both slowed down and accumulated strength with the old master.

The fact was indeed as Zhang Ruoxu expected. Before the three of them could adjust their breathing evenly, there was a burst of people shouting and neighing from the countryside road leading to Zhang Qian's family. Immediately afterwards, a familiar figure rode his horse straight to the Zhang family gate surrounded by eight servants.

Originally, Zhang Ruoxu should have been happy when he expected the enemy to be the first. Unexpectedly, the old master's face changed drastically, and his brows frowned into a bun, "Zi Shou? How could it be him?"

"It's Brother Zishou, it's impossible!" Zhang Qian also recognized that this person was Zhang Jiuling, one of the future famous Kaiyuan prime ministers, and shook his head decisively and vigorously.

Although Zhang Jiuling only had one-sided relationship with him, Zhang Jiuling's name shone with stars in the history and literature books of the 21st century. If this person was a corrupt official and had such ugly appearance, he would not have been praised by later generations as the most righteous and straightforward.

Zhang Ruoxu's home is not far from Zhang Qian's house, and the terrain is slightly higher. So, just when the two were stunned and at a loss, Zhang Jiuling had already jumped off his mount in their sight, and went to the door of Zhang Qian's yard in three steps, and glared at Guo Nu and another middle-aged man who had stopped tearing because of his arrival.

"Brush!" As if a lightning flash was shining in, Zhang Ruoxu's eyes quickly became brighter than the mirror. "Zi Shou wore dark green today, and there was a silver belt around his waist. He was promoted! It was really time to be promoted!" (Note: dark green, silver belt, the official clothing of a sixth rank official of the Tang Dynasty)

Immediately, he stroked his beard again and smiled proudly, "Haha, hehe, the blessed person does not have to be busy, the blessed person is heartbroken. Zishou today is probably for the alcohol disinfection technique. Haha, you two young people are fast, don't wait for me, go back quickly. If you are too late, I'm afraid the clerk named Wei will be really scared to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone saw from afar that the scholar-official surnamed Wei was lying on the ground and kowtowed to Guo Nu. However, Guo Nu was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he rushed into the yard and opened the main door for Zhang Jiuling with his own hands. The second update, I hope everyone can watch it happily. Wherever they are, where they are collected... Good night everyone.
