Chapter 525 Volume 5 The Mind of Two Old Foxes

Two days later, Xu Jingzong and his party finally entered the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Until this moment, Xu Jingzong was relieved.

In the past two days, their group had been chased by the Imperial Secret Service of the Ming Dynasty like a lost dog. If they hadn't been outnumbered, it would have been difficult for them to escape.

Of course, this is their own opinion.

"I finally left the Ming Dynasty." Xu Jingzong breathed a sigh of relief, but he also sighed with emotion, "I just hope that I don't know that I have poached so many craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty during this trip."

He wanted to make great achievements, but he didn't want to offend Li Chengqian too much.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lang." said his confidant, "This time we are all using pseudonyms in the Ming Dynasty. No matter how powerful that person is, he can't investigate us.

Besides, his men voluntarily followed us, so what would happen even if they were discovered by him?"

"I hope so." Xu Jingzong didn't even bother to reprimand his confidant after hearing what he said.

So what?

Who is Li Chengqian?

If he really wants to know, isn't there anything he can do to deal with Xu Jingzong?

"Stop talking about this, hurry up to Taozhou Mansion and ask the county governor for help." Xu Jingzong waved his hand and said, "Send someone to inform the county governor so that they can prepare in advance."

After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, his cronies immediately left to make arrangements.

After another half day, Xu Jingzong and his party finally arrived outside Taozhou City.

"The Sheriff's Mansion is really a grand spectacle." Under the city gate, Xu Jingzong's cronies saw that no one came to the Sheriff's Mansion, and they immediately said angrily, "Lang Jun worked hard for the sake of the Sheriff in the Ming Dynasty.

Damn it, we have notified them several times, but in the end, no one from the county magistrate’s office came to greet him, it’s so rude!”

Xu Jingzong was actually a little displeased. He was a very face-saving person. After all, he followed Changsun Wuji to Taohe County to take up his post. However, no one greeted him. Wasn't this a slap in the face?

Of course, Xu Jingzong was also a smart man. He waved his hand and said: "Well, now we have just returned from the Ming Dynasty Palace. In addition, the commotion we made in the Ming Dynasty Palace this time was too big. Governor Changsun did this.

They are also protecting us. If the person from the Ming Dynasty learns that the person causing trouble in the Ming Dynasty is me, and is targeted by him, I am afraid that my life will not be so easy in the future.

Now, it's better to keep a low profile. Speaking of which, Sheriff Changsun actually has good intentions."

From this point of view, this is really a good thing.

But in the final analysis, Xu Jingzong is a face-saving person after all, and he still feels a little depressed.

"Let's go into the city and go straight to the county governor's mansion." After Xu Jingzong finished speaking, he asked again, "Have the arrangements been made for the craftsmen?"

Of course, he couldn't be stupid enough to bring those craftsmen into the city. No one knows the power of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Taozhou Prefecture may not have spies from the Ming Dynasty.

He would never make such a stupid mistake.

"It's all arranged."

After the confidant finished speaking, Xu Jingzong nodded, and then led everyone into the city.

Within a moment, Xu Jingzong led his people to the county governor's mansion.

In front of the county governor's house, the old servant beside Changsun Wuji had been waiting in front of the house for a long time. When he saw Xu Jingzong, he bowed and smiled earnestly and said: "Old servant Zhang Sun Fu, by the order of the county guard, is here to greet you.

Xu Juncheng."

Jun Cheng?

Xu Jingzong also didn't expect that the position Changsun Wuji had assigned to him was the position of county magistrate. You must know that this post of county magistrate is the second-in-command in a county, second only to the county guard.

In other words, in this Taohe County, apart from Changsun Wuji, he has the final say.

Not to mention, Xu Jingzong really didn't think about the post of Jun Cheng at first. After all, Chu Suiliang was still here, so the post of Jun Cheng couldn't fall into his hands.

But since Changsun Wuji made such an arrangement, of course he would not refuse. He even got off his horse and said with his hands in his hands: "Old sir, you're welcome. I have to thank the county governor for his help."

As the so-called seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, although Changsun Fu is just an old servant, everyone in Chang'an Xungui does not know that this old guy has followed Changsun Wuji for more than 20 years and has a pivotal position in the Changsun family, even if he is Queen Changsun

You have to call Uncle Fu when you see him. There is absolutely no need to offend such a person.

"Then Xu Juncheng will follow the old servant into the back house. My husband has already prepared a banquet for Xu Juncheng and is waiting to welcome Xu Juncheng." Changsun Fu said with a smile.

Xu Jingzong waved his hand, dismissed his entourage, and then said: "Old sir, please."

"Xu Juncheng, please." After saying this, Changsun Fu turned sideways slightly, spread out his right hand, and made a gesture of invitation.

Naturally, Xu Jingzong was not polite and walked in with great strides.

In just a moment, Xu Jingzong was led by Changsun Fu to the backyard of the Sheriff's Mansion. Changsun Wuji had indeed been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Xu Jingzong entering, he just smiled.

Seeing this, Xu Jingzong hurriedly walked up in three steps and two steps, and said with a respectful expression: "Xu Jingzong, the lower official, is fortunate to have fulfilled his mission. I have come here today to return my mission."

"The Yan Clan." Changsun Wuji stood up, dragged Xu Jingzong with both hands and tried to push him to the end, and said with a smile, "It's all thanks to the Yan Clan. Otherwise, how could we in Taohe County open so many industries in a short period of time?"

Square.”

"It's all the responsibility of the lower officials. I don't deserve such praise from the county governor." Xu Jingzong said humbly.

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "O Yan clan, when you have returned from great service this time, I should go to the city gate to greet you in person, but something urgent happened at the county governor's house. I don't need to worry about it."

It’s me who should be blamed.”

"How dare you, the lower official?" Xu Jingzong said quickly, "The county governor has good intentions, but it's too late for the lower official to thank you, so how dare you blame him?"

"It saves trouble to talk to smart people." Changsun Wuji said with a smile, "Come and sit down, I personally ordered the kitchen to prepare this. It must have been difficult for the Yan clan to sleep in the open at Damingfeng during this period. Today,

I and the Yan clan will not return until they are drunk."

After saying that, Changsun Wuji raised his glass and said, "I would like to offer a toast to the Yan clan!"

"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Jingzong quickly picked up the wine glass and said, "I think it's just a glass of wine for the county governor."

When he picked up the wine glass, they both drank it in one gulp regardless of who was toasting whom.

After drinking a glass of wine, Changsun Wuji pulled Xu Jingzong and said: "The Yan clan also knows that your Majesty handed over this Chuihe County to me to govern in order to achieve something in this Chuihe County. After all, the Riyue Mountain and others

If a barren land can be transformed into a large city, then the two states of Taohe River in the Tang Dynasty can't be inferior to the Riyue Mountain, right?"

"That's natural." Xu Jingzong said after hearing this, "Whether it is in terms of heritage, geographical environment or city scale, Riyue Mountain cannot be compared with the two states of Taohe.

The county guard also knows that Xiaguan left Riyue Mountain not long ago, so he has seen the prosperity of Riyue Mountain."

"Yan clan, please tell me." Speaking of this, Changsun Wuji asked eagerly, "What is so magical about Riyue Mountain? Why did it become what it is today in just a few years?

"

Seeing Changsun Wuji's eager look, Xu Jingzong was a little curious. If Changsun Wuji had not been to Riyue Mountain in person, he would believe it. But if Changsun Wuji did not know about the situation in Riyue Mountain, he would not believe it.

Don't even believe it.

"The Yan people don't know something." Changsun Wuji saw Xu Jingzong's reaction and laughed immediately, "Although I have sent many people to Riyue Mountain to inquire about the situation, how can they have the Yan people's vision? This

How can any of the Yan people see clearly the details?"

Who is Xu Jingzong? Changsun Wuji doesn't know that this guy, regardless of his abilities, loves face very much. If he needs this guy in the future, he should still give him the face he deserves.

And Xu Jingzong did not doubt that he was there. Indeed, what Changsun Wuji said was indeed correct, even he thought so.

"When we return to the county guard, even though the official didn't stay in Riyue Mountain for a long time, he also discovered some problems."

"Huh? Please invite the Yan clan to come one by one."

"The biggest reason why Riyue Mountain is prosperous today is business." Xu Jingzong said, "In the entire Riyue Mountain, more than half of the people are either directly doing business or relying on business-related industries to make a living.

This is also the reason why Riyue Mountain can develop into a Tongdu city in a short period of time. There is no way, the business atmosphere of Riyue Mountain is too heavy.

In addition, there are many things that are not available in other places except Riyue Mountain, which also attracts a large number of merchants to gather in Riyue Mountain.

But this also laid a fatal flaw for Riyue Mountain."

"Uh?" Changsun Wuji asked, "What's the shortcoming?"

"No one is farming!" Xu Jingzong said, "Maybe the county guard can't believe that there are not many people farming in the huge Riyue Mountain, including the surrounding areas. If something happens, Riyue Mountain will be in danger!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said nothing. He naturally knew this. However, seeing that Xu Jingzong was talking so enthusiastically, he naturally did not want to break his enthusiasm. He nodded in agreement and said: "This is true. As the saying goes, people depend on food."

God, what Riyue Mountain did was really inappropriate.

But that is someone else's business after all. Yan clan, how do you think our Shuihe County will develop?

You also know that the two state capitals under the jurisdiction of Chuihe County are the poorest state capitals in the Tang Dynasty, but even so, they are much better than the royal court of the Ming Dynasty. Today's Riyue Mountain has become the northwest

It is such a bright pearl that we, the Tang Dynasty, cannot fall behind other people."

"Although Riyue Mountain has many problems, it is not easy to catch up with Riyue Mountain in a short time." Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "After all, many things sold by Riyue Mountain are irreplaceable.

, let’s not talk about anything else, just the paper. As long as the paper business is still in business, Riyue Mountain will not decline.

Although the officials brought back many craftsmen from the Ming Dynasty, they said that their craftsmanship was only for making daily necessities.

Among the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty, they were only the most ordinary ones.

When it comes to this, it would be a dereliction of duty for a subordinate."
