Chapter 43: Amplified Misunderstanding(1/2)

"Brother, I am the order of Yingcheng. If I don't go to Anlu to pay homage to the King of Wu, why should I go to Mianzhou and see Zhang De?"

"You have been in Yiyuan for a long time and don't know much about being your brother's friend in the capital. Zhang Caozhi was a respected by his brother. He came to Anzhou to drive the King of Wu and also made his recommendation. Although he was the Minister of Personnel, he still had to avoid suspicion."

Hou Wending, who was calm, smiled, "I originally wanted to go to Juyongguan and reappear with the brave and wise plan of the Great Uncle Zu. Now, I also want to be a local official on behalf of the emperor's herder."

One of the very influential people in the Hou family was Hou Longen, who started his career back then. Compared with Hou Wending's great-grandfather Hou Zhi, Hou Wending's great-grandfather, the Hou Longen lineage was even more powerful in the Western Wei Dynasty.

"If it weren't for the uncle's call, Wen Yuan would only want to stay in his hometown to farm."

Hou Wenyuan, who had pursed his lips, lowered his head and seemed a little ashamed.

"I don't know why, the adults have recruited many Hou sons this year, and some of them went to Shandong to make a living. Now they have recruited them to renew their blood relationship."

Speaking of this, both brothers were a little silent. Even the honest man Hou Wending felt that such actions were of great significance and inappropriateness.

Unlike Zhang Gongjin, Hou is very close to his family and can "scam" with his ancestors everywhere. There is no problem with making a living. However, Zhang, a Jiangshui family, is a bit vulgar and is even more of a poor family. If Zhang Gongjin had not made a fortune, he would have been a landlord in Jiangyin and would not have been on the stage for three generations.

"Brother, I always feel that this is inappropriate for my uncle..."

Hou Wenyuan still lowered his head and said in a low voice.

However, Hou Wending also thought so and sighed: "But, you and I can't say anything about you or I. Let's go to Zhang Caozhi for inquiries, maybe there will be someone to say."

Take a boat from Anlu and take the Jianshui River to Yunmeng County, you can change to a car and horse. After walking for a long time, you can reach Yingcheng. He invited his colleagues to dinner in Yingcheng. After the meeting, he followed Fushui and took Xiaochuan straight down, and then took the Jianshui River again, and then entered the Hanshui River.

Before Hou Wending arrived in Hanyang, Zhang De received a lot of news from Chang'an. What puzzled him was that this time someone in the East Palace could actually repay 20,000 guan from the China Resources account in the west of Chang'an City. The Chinese Resources ticket was still used. Whether it was a seal, a code, a mezzanine, an ink or a base code on the counter, there was no mistake.

Others may not know much about the East Palace's fortune, but Zhang De can still know. At present, the East Palace has small investments, but they are all fragmented and serious business, either transferred to the inner palace or handed over to Empress Changsun.

The original "Prince Candy" of the East Palace welfare is now controlled by Empress Changsun. Ma Zhou has been pushed back several times of negotiations.

If it weren't for being unable to kowtow, Ma Zhou really wanted to go to Tai Chi Palace to hang himself with a rope. But he also knew that forcing Empress Changsun was a brainless act. If he dared to hang himself, the emperor would pull his feet and let him die faster.

After checking the 20,000 guan qian qian qian, we already knew that the person who stored the cabinet was a child of the branch of the Hou family's Yiyuan branch. This investigation made Lao Zhang feel that there was a big problem. The people from the East Palace came to get the money, and it was 20,000 guan, which was actually saved by the Hou family.

This is going to be a ghost!

Without stopping, Lao Zhang did not call Lao Li over this time, but ran straight to Jingling County, found Li Desheng, and told him about this.

"Hou Junji wouldn't be so ignorant, so he took the risk of getting married to the East Palace?"

Old Li frowned. If the Minister of Personnel gets close to the Eastern Palace, all kinds of bullshits will come out. Emperor Li has never played with it? Emperor Li has even been the prime minister. Why don’t you understand the tricks in the officialdom?

The Minister of Personnel, as an indispensable node in the organization, if he really fights with the crown prince, the emperor will definitely punish him severely.

"Can the emperor find the account of China Resources account?"

"Not found."

"hiss……"

As a talented person, Lao Li said carefully: "Luoyang has been troublesome these days. The emperor used sugar for personal gain, but now he turned to salt, iron and copper wire. But the people of Shandong only recommended him, but forgot the important matter. If he reacted, he would be afraid that the trouble would be even bigger!"

Old Zhang also knew this very well. Now Shandong people are staring at the quota of juren. If the second-level juren at the prefectures and counties are counted, there are definitely many seats. If the six hundred military states are placed in one chief and two deputy, then they will be two thousand. Although this is not the case, the number will definitely exceed a thousand. When the dust settles, these juren will have to endorse the industry and stand on the street and sell themselves like Liuying Hu Ji.

Each person has a voice, and then, Shandong people speak out in the industry and make noise, which is even more cruel than verbal battles with Emperor Li right now.

It's also weird. Li Chengqian, a warm man, ran to Huainan Road to tour the eastern tour. It was indeed pitiful that he had not returned for a year, but he also made a fuss with Shandong people. Qinghe Boling Xingyang, Luoyang, Nanyang, Huainan, Siyang, Cui's branches all went through the motions here with Li Chengqian, as if they were inspecting.

If Li Chengqian wants to attract investment, his qualifications are high-quality assets, and his warm temperament is a good investment environment.

It can be said that if they hadn't been able to defeat Li Shimin, Shandong people would now want to help Li Chengqian on their horses.

With the establishment of Xinnan City in Luoyang, Di Zhixun became the first Xinnan City Supervisor. The transformation of large-scale forces of Shandong gentry made Henan Huainan Road boil like a oil pan for a while.

These great families who have been hoarding for hundreds of years can dig out a large amount of melted copper coins from the ground in minutes, as well as silver winter melons buried in the cellar.

Three or four silver winter melons were produced for 300 kilograms of silver winter melons in Xuzhou, Cui Hongdao made three or four of them to invest in Haizhou Dock and Haizhou Wharf. This year, Xuzhou’s biggest income is salt, slaves, and Fusang wood.

In the key area between Huainan Road, Cui Hong Daoguang will continue to build marketing furniture to create Poly, which will make it very comfortable, not to mention the benefits of being sure.

There were many troubles and various singing styles, but they were all for a bite of meat. Li Chengqian made a fuss when he went on the east tour. Although Emperor Li was disgusted with it, it was not a test.

As soon as the performances of Shandong gentry were abundant, Li Chengqian, who had been wandering for a year, was recalled to Chang'an and then became an otaku prince in the East Palace.

At the same time, after the triumphant victory of the Western Expedition, Hou Junji, the chief general, handed over the monarchy, resigned as Minister of War, and was promoted to Minister of Personnel.

If there was no Tai Chi Palace conversation between the monarch and his ministers, then this promotion would be a perfect experience. Unfortunately, Emperor Li was almost telling Hou Junji that everything in the Western Regions would be entrusted to the faction of Zuo Xiaowei.

Hou Junji's possibility of leaving his name for his achievements was officially strangled to death in the twelfth year of Zhenguan.

Li Simo, who reported the news, made him even more hated.

This is a coincidence and even more a misunderstanding. It originated in the tenth year of Zhenguan, but it bears fruit in the twelfth year of Zhenguan. The prince Zuo Shuzi felt it was strange, the Shandong geniuses felt it was strange, and Hou Junji felt it was strange, but because of Li Chengqian, they used a strange thinking to make it natural.

As for the prince, long-term investment is understandable.

The Shandong gentry understood Hou Junji, and Hou Junji understood Shandong geniuses, but at this moment, there was no further cooperation.

Let’s talk about cooperation!

"Du Du, what are you talking about when Duke Lu from the scattered court? Why are you so happy?"

Li Chengqian asked heartlessly, and poured Du Zhenglun a cup of tea.

Du Xiucai was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Shangshu Hou said that he would be a minister in the same palace, so he would take care of him in the future."

"The relationship between Duke Lu and Zhang Dalang is also very good."

The warm prince clapped his hands, "His son Hou Wending, has once used a sword to fight against Zhang Dalang."

"There is such a connection? It's just a friendship."

“This is nature.”

As he was speaking, Ma Zhou came in to meet Li Chengqian. He was really struggling for the prince. After seeing him, he hurriedly said: "The East Palace Literature Academy has made plans. The true disciples of the 'Wang Xue' will arrive in Chang'an in the next few days. Your Highness remembers to praise him."

"I know this, but King Bin has no worries."

"That's good."

Ma Zhou originally wanted to say why the East Palace had 20,000 yuan more than the East Palace, but when he thought that Du Zhenglun was a three-school scholar at least, his skills were definitely not bad, so he didn't talk too much. After all, Ma Zhou's main job is no longer in the East Palace, and this situation is too much, which makes him feel a bit like exploring people.

When Du Zhenglun saw Ma Zhou mentioning the Academy of Literature, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, Ma Gong, for running."

"A small matter."

Ma Zhou smiled, waved his hand, and said, "Your Highness, Zhou will leave."

"Binwang walk slowly."

Gifted Ma Zhou to leave, Du Zhenglun thought to himself: Ma Binwang is indeed His Highness’s confidant, and he actually ran for His Highness for this. Twenty thousand coins... How many fertile land should I buy for 20,000 coins?

It also opened my eyes. A few days later, a few children from the ancestral court of Juyong Hou came to offer. Most of these people were walking in Longyou. Now the Silk Road has reopened. They used to buy supplies with the Western Expedition Army, and then resell them. In addition, a batch of Shujin was handed over to Li Daliang in Liangzhou to distribute, and the Hou branch made a big profit in Gaochang.

These Hou family members were descendants of Hou Longen, and were a little far away from Hou Junji. So they were not going to run away from the official position, but instead they were planning to be a minor official in the Eastern Palace, which was not harmful.

Not to mention disturbing the emperor, even Du Zhenglun was not disturbed.

In addition, some people who don’t know how to follow the rules are just thinking that the Hou family is from the Binzhou lineage, but they don’t know that there are so many twists and turns.

When the Luoyang recommendation was in full swing, several Hou children, who were the Yi Lingshi in the market, volunteered to go to Luoyang to buy a batch of silk, using the market price, but the East Palace had no money on the books. They also used the East Palace Credit to borrow the first batch of goods from the counter of the China Resources Resources Luoyang.

The silk went straight from the Jingluo board track to Chang'an. In just one day, it was handed over to the Hu merchants in the west of the city, with a price increase of half a century and a net profit of 600 trump cards.

The first batch of loans for the purchase of goods on China Resources were cancelled at the counter of Changan. It can be said that it was unaware of the fact that no one knew that there was such an operation.

Because this kind of operation is often only allowed by China Resources Department and has never been spoken to the outside world.

But the problem lies here. These Juyong Hou clans are indeed from the China Resources Group. Not only are there contractors for the Liangzhou SF Express, but also Li Simo's camel fleet. Juyong Hou clan also occupied 2,500 camels. It can be said that it is a group of merchants in the China Resources Group that have a fairly say, which is very different from those powerless merchants who were trapped in the west of Chang'an City.

"Qilang is a bit useless. The market has been recorded in the past few days, and it has been over 600 guan. After all, it can earn 10,000 guan this month. The cost of the Donggong finally slowed down."

"Du Gong was joking, and he stopped a small businessman from the business, so how could he say that he was too sloppy? He could only keep in mind the duty."

Hou Qi bowed his head and said in fear and trepidation.

"You can share your worries with Your Highness, and your heart is commendable. The cost of the Eastern Palace this year has been owed so far, and even the salary of the Eastern Palace staff has been blocked for two months. Alas..."

Hearing Du Zhenglun’s complaints, Hou Qi just lowered his head and said nothing, but he did not dare to speak in this matter.

"You can do things with peace of mind, and your Highness will remember your contributions."

"I dare not express my achievements when I go down. I am honored to be able to do things for Your Highness."

After Du Zhenglun left, Hou Qi raised his head and was a little surprised: "Why did Zuo Shuzi suddenly come to find me? Could it be that something is wrong?"

When the spring plowing ended, when the New Year's Qingtu Tower was set up in the grassland of the East Palace, someone suddenly came to check the accounts of the East Palace. The imperial officials checked the accounts, but did not say much, so they returned to the palace to report their lives.

"But is there something strange?"

"There is nothing wrong with your Majesty, and there is nothing wrong with the accounts."

"Well, that's good. Go down."

"I'm going to leave."

At this time, Du Zhenglun heard that the emperor was storming the account of the Eastern Palace, and his face turned pale. When things seemed to be no more disturbing, he felt relieved.

But this terrifying feeling made Du Zhenglun feel very inappropriate.

A few days later, the emperor suddenly sent the Duzhilang of the Minzu to lead the people to check the accounts again. The people from the Minzu took away the account book. The next day, he returned the account book.

Still no big problem.
