"But, this is not my handwriting."

Gu Kuang was not stupid, and he quickly realized that something was strange.

"It is indeed not Gu Tunjian's handwriting, but... it can definitely be written by Gu Tunjian. Of course, it could also just be a misunderstanding."

Fang Chongyong insisted on the word "misunderstanding".

Emotions are lurking here. Gu Kuang felt that Zheng Shuqing invited him to dinner last night because of the red lotus rice. He was an open-minded person, but he sighed helplessly: "Okay, okay, just think of me as a stupid donkey. After the autumn harvest, I

I’ll give you a few stones of red lotus rice, okay? After all, Governor Zheng also put in a lot of effort into the meal last night.”

Gu Kuang laughed at himself while insinuating Zheng Shuqing's dirty tricks.

"No, Gu Tuen Supervisor doesn't have to give us red lotus rice. You just need to write an official document to the court and tell them that half of this year's red lotus rice is damaged, that's all. You can't give it directly to the emperor, you have to go to the official post of the court

, just deliver it layer by layer.

As for the possibility that there may be a lot more, it doesn’t matter at all. Those cannot be sent to the emperor’s hands. Of course, if you are willing to keep them yourself, that’s fine.”

Fang Chongyong made a very strange request to Gu Kuang.

Gu Kuang can hand over all the red lotus rice, but in the official letter, it must be written that he only received half of the rice, and the other half was damaged by wildfires. The specific number is subject to receipt. After the red lotus rice is delivered to Chang'an, someone will

Let the real quantity of red lotus rice match the quantity in Gu Kuang's official letter.

No one would ask Gu Kuang why he scribbled the extra stuff, he would just black out the extra stuff and eat it himself or resell it. The quantity that was finally delivered to Li Longji was the same as the amount in Gu Kuang’s official document!

And with so many people involved in the Hongliandao line, how could they hold Gu Kuang accountable for his mistakes?

When things get serious, don't we check and find out a bunch of people? Who has a clean bottom?

"Your request is weird, so that's okay."

Gu Kuang waved his hand indifferently. He did not give away the red lotus rice, which meant that he was not derelict in his duty. Fang Chongyong's request did not cross his bottom line.

"This poem will be posted in the Kuizhou Prefecture and widely publicized. Gu Tuenjian has no credit, but his hard work is still there."

Zheng Shuqing handed the song "Hoeing Day at Noon" to Gu Kuang and said.

"I understand, your Majesty must have had no choice but to do so."

After Gu Kuang read the poem, he asked with emotion that he had forgiven the two people in front of him for tricking him.

"Gu Tuen Supervisor doesn't need to ask too much, it's his duty to do it as a last resort."

Zheng Shuqing said apologetically.

Gu Kuang nodded slightly, bowed to Zheng Shuqing, and then left neatly.

After he left, Zheng Shuqing looked up to Fang Chongyong and asked helplessly: "I'm going to meet Wei Qing soon, what are you going to tell him?"

"You have a clever plan, but it won't work if you tell it in advance."

Fang Chongyong continued to lie, refusing to tell the whole story.

"If you were my son, I would have beaten you to death long ago."

Zheng Shuqing sighed.

"How about it's not too late to find a foster father now?"

Fang Chongyong teased,

Zheng Shuqing laughed and shook his head. Of the children in his family, he really couldn't find anyone who could compare to Fang Chongyong.

The two of them came to a certain compartment in Fengxian Building together, and saw Wei Qing, who was elegant and well-dressed, already sitting on a high stool in front of the desk, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

As soon as he saw Fang Chongyong and Zheng Shuqing, he quickly asked them to come over and sit down.

"Today Zheng Shijun is feeling cold and unable to speak. I will do all the work for you. Zheng Shijun can nod to indicate this."

Fang Chongyong winked at Zheng Shuqing and said.

The governor nodded quickly and tapped Fang Chongyong's arm with his index finger. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Then continuing what happened yesterday, what kind of help does Zheng Shijun want from the court?"

Wei Qing asked with a smile, he was talking about Zheng Shijun, but he was looking at Fang Chongyong.

"We want full jurisdiction over Kuimen Jiangguan!"

Fang Chongyong said categorically.

Wei Qing was stunned. Zheng Shuqing already controlled Jiangguan in Kuizhou, but what does this full jurisdiction mean? How can the power that has been given be given again?

"What is full jurisdiction?"

Wei Qing asked in confusion. Although he has read a lot of books, he is still essentially a musician and singer.

"What are the rules at Jiangguan in Kuizhou? Governor Zheng can decide it with just one word, that's it."

Fang Chongyong said calmly.

"The imperial court has its own tax laws..."

Wei Qing always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.

"To put it simply, Commander Zheng will decide the rules of Jiangguan in Kuizhou from now on. After collecting the 300,000 in taxes, Commander Zheng should go to Chang'an to report on his duties. By then, Commander-in-Chief Zheng of Jiangguan in Kuizhou will decide.

Rules can be continued if the court thinks they are useful, and can be changed at any time if they are not useful."

Fang Zhongyong gave a concise and comprehensive description.

Wei Qing suddenly realized that it turned out that Fang Chongyong wanted to change Jiang's tariff rate. This was indeed what he meant. Before setting off, Li Longji specifically asked him to raise the tax rate slightly in order to raise money.

"That's fine. Although it's an outrageous request, I can agree to it here."

Wei Qing nodded slightly and said.

"Then thank the angel."

Fang Chongyong said respectfully.

As if he was worried that Zheng Shuqing might act recklessly, Wei Qing emphasized: "It's not impossible if you change the tariff rate, but you should proceed with caution."

"Don't worry, we will never do anything random. Zheng Shijun can swear to God on this."
