[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

"Master, Wei Jiang asks to see you."

Brother Xue Xun and Xue Yue were talking, when the Golden Beast came in to report.Jin Beast was originally the chief executive, so there was no need to do this kind of communication work. His presence was a sign of the importance of the matter, and it might have been a side attack to Wei Jiang.

Sure enough, when the golden beast came over, no matter how important Xue Xun was going to talk to Xue Yue, he said very apologetically, "Second brother, I'm sorry, let's talk later, I don't know what's important."

"Brother has something to do, so I'll come back later." Xue Yue said with a smile.

"If you talk about this kind of separation again, I will beat you." Xue Xun pretended to be angry, and patted his arm lightly.

"Then I'll sit behind the screen and come to see you alone. I'm afraid I won't be able to appear in front of others." Xue Xun nodded, no longer declined, Xue Xun got up and sat down behind the screen.

The golden beast got the signal, and hurried out of the ear room to call Wei Jiang in.

As soon as Wei Jiang entered the door, he paid respects and said, "Wei Jiang is willing to follow the master."

"What are you doing? Hurry up and talk about it." Xue Xun was taken aback. Wei Jiang came from a serious background. Now that the war is over, the news is better than before. Xue Xun, who is a fake marquis and county magistrate I already know what it means to kneel now.

Wei Jiang searched in his heart for a long time before he thought of the title of the proprietor, and said: "The proprietor will leave Cixi soon, Wei Jiang is willing to follow." At this time, Xue Xun had already summoned people to inform him, there was no farewell party, and there was no long pavilion Don't, maybe leave quietly one night, just like occupying Cixi quietly at the beginning.

"You know what my situation is. The marquis and the county magistrate are just talking about it to appease the people. Now it's a matter of course that the property is returned to the original owner. It's just that although it was for the sake of the people, the court couldn't forgive the impostor. Why do you have to flee with a fugitive current criminal?" Xue Xun shook his head and sighed, persuading him, as if he didn't understand why Wei Jiang had such an idea.

Wei Jiang kowtowed and bowed again, saying, "Proprietor, Wei Jiang asks for orders to follow, and is willing to use silk to support the trees."

Sloto arbor?Xue Xun said "Yes" calmly, and Wei Jiang knew that this was an opportunity, so he quickly showed his talent.

"The villain was born in a water town and was good at sailing and swimming. After being a scholar, he traveled to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, two lakes, and Guangdong. He learned the local dialect. He was looking forward to the land of Yunnan and Guizhou. When the news came that his mother was seriously ill, he turned around. The villain is a widow. He was raised by his mother alone and had no close relatives. He passed his mother's filial piety and won the exam, but failed in the exam three times. So he found a position in the county government as a master, in charge of money and food." Wei Jiang introduced briskly. His own resume includes fame, local acquaintances, proficiency in local dialects, and good at civil affairs.

"I can see it when we get along these days. Where's your family?"

"The villain's parents are both dead, and he has no more than hundreds of brothers. He only has one wife, two sons and one daughter, and no close relatives." Wei Jiang quickly told himself to the lonely family. It is the preference of the employer.

"What about the tribe?"

"The clansman lives and lives in his hometown, and the villain wants to go out to make a fortune. It is enough to bring his wife and children with him." Wei Jiang speculated on Xue Xun's intentions as he spoke, referring to Xue Xun's actions.

This kind of experience is really fresh. Most of the people who dealt with Xue Xun in the previous life were business contacts. At that time, they didn't judge business affairs by personal virtues.When I got here, the people around me have been with each other for a long time, and they can still make jokes and jokes from time to time. How can there be such a posture of walking on thin ice with trepidation.But it was the first time I was treated like this, and it felt good.Can you imagine?A word from you will make him toss and turn all night, and he will immediately change his mind when you inadvertently frown. It is so fascinating to regard you as the master of the gods.

Xue Xun finally understands why every man has the dream of being an emperor. Who would not be happy to be supported and worshiped like this? Wei Jiang is a qualified bureaucrat, although he has never formally entered the bureaucracy system.

Do you need such a person who is proficient in officialdom and good at drilling in your team?Xue Xun asked himself, but he was very vigilant in his heart. A master has such kung fu, which made him feel complacent. What kind of kung fu should those officials in the officialdom be.

There is no doubt that Xue Xun is needed. Shan Zuo won this battle and injected vitality into the imperial court. Now that the imperial court is far from falling apart, there are still many opportunities to deal with officials along the way. Let Wei Jiang not say let him Come forward to mediate, just let him analyze the problem from the official's thinking, and it can also provide a lot of help to our own side.

When it became clear, Xue Xun didn't stretch him, and said bluntly: "Mr. Wei, please get up quickly, you and I are destined to walk together, why bother to perform such a great gift."

"Thank you, master." Wei Jiang thanked.

"Nowadays talent is in short supply. Since Mr. Wei is good at civil affairs, why don't you return to Jin Beast's command to take care of food and logistics, and then make plans later." Xue Xun thought for a while, they don't have any people to manage now, so they can only arrange people first Logistically, wait until you're settled.

"Yes, according to the master's arrangement." Wei Jiang clasped his fists in response without any objection.

"The name Master is because Jin Beast and others have served as my companions. It is a bad habit to use the old name. It should not be so humiliating to the disciples of Confucius and Mencius. Mr. Wei calls it whatever he wants."

"Yes, the proprietor." Wei Jiang thought for a while, and chose the title of the proprietor. He was not afraid of being flattering and ugly, but he was afraid that he would not be able to integrate into the small circle because of a title.

"Mr. Wei will go to Jin Beast to settle his wife and children first. If there is anything you need, just talk to Jin Beast." Xue Xun said with a smile.

Wei Jiang resigned knowingly, Xue Xun raised his index finger and middle finger, and tapped the coffee table lightly. Wei Jiang was the first person he accepted outside the Xue family system, which had important symbolic meaning, and he should be treated preferentially.In the future, it will depend on Wei Jiang's level, whether to be a horse bone for a thousand dollars or a benchmark.

Wei Jiang resigned, Xue Yue walked out from the screen, and said: "Brother, this Wei Jiang is very obedient, and I never thought about what will happen if my brother refuses to agree to him?"

"Siluo Tuo Qiaomu has said everything, and it would be too embarrassing if he didn't agree. People died all the way along the way, and we needed to recruit new talents. He happened to bump into him." Xue Xun laughed.

"Brother, what do you think I should do?" Xue Yue asked.

"What should I do?" Xue Xun was at a loss.

"Brother wants to leave Cixi, I will follow, and will return to the south?" Xue Xun asked, "There is only one port in Annan at home, and eating is not a problem, but it is very difficult to integrate. The major sects in Annan are fighting each other. Competing for believers and strictly controlling believers, it is not easy for outsiders like us to blend in. Now the imperial court's control over the south is getting weaker, but in the end the righteousness is still there... Well, to tell you the truth, I am not sure about my younger brother. Ben I wanted to listen to it and see it along the way, but I didn’t expect to see a lot, but it became more swaying.”

Xue Xun understood this feeling, and said with a smile: "You and I are so young, even if we choose the wrong one, we don't care about it. How about this, you send the boat back to the south first, and don't go to Annan. I used to want to go to Wuzhou to settle down, but it's not as good as you Let’s go to the front station first. Anyway, Shan Zuo won a big victory, and the imperial court is about to take over Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We, the first-generation bay port of Hangzhou, can’t keep it, and we dare not let you spread hatred here.”

Xue Xun said a familiar word and laughed lightly, but Xue Yue looked at him blankly.

Xue Xun coughed twice, and regained his composure and said: "You follow me first, take a look around, the situation is changing rapidly, in the future, if you want to leave, there will be a boat waiting, and you want to keep the door of Xue's house always open for you, just go home. "

Xue Yue took Xue Xun's hand and said emotionally, "Thank you, brother."

Xue Xun hugged him back, "You and my brother, why bother to thank you."

After everything was discussed, Xue's family left Ci'an quietly.The people in Ci'an County saw the mighty patrols walking on the street before going to bed the night before, but when they woke up the next morning, they found that they got up late.Get up and take a look, eh?Why are there no silhouettes of soldiers on the city tower, they stand there every day, looking from the gap of their eaves, I just saw it!

Could it be that something big happened again?The confused people rubbed their eyes again and again to make sure they read correctly, and quickly called up the whole family. The men went out to see what was going on, and the women hurriedly cooked the pot and prepared more dry food. The children were also detained. By my side, I'm afraid there will be an emergency.

After a while, the man who was in charge came back, and with a low air, he said: "Master Xue has withdrawn, and now the magistrate is in charge of the magistrate Cao, and he is announcing on the podium, there are fewer manpower, this time he did not post the notice at the entrance of the alley. It's strange to say, I don't know who tore up the notice pasted at the entrance of the alley, and I don't know which ignorant bastard."

"Leaving?" The mother-in-law at home looked around and found that the rice grains distributed by Xue's family had been eaten up in the past few months. She murmured: "It's not that there is nothing left."

When the family was awakened by a single word, thinking about the inexplicably missing notice at the entrance of the alley and the silent evacuation of the Xue family, they seemed to have realized something.

There is no longer a ship in the distant port, the main ship parked in the hidden deep-water port surrounded by rocks has already set off, and the gunboats, fast boats, small boats, and sea ships surrounding the port have disappeared. The whole Cixi seems to have never appeared before. The changes are normal, and the smoke rises as usual.

Xue Yue finally decided to let his confidants return on the same route with the tall ships that could not enter the inland river, and the rest of the shallower ships followed, bringing a large number of manpower and supplies.The fleets of the two sides added up, and a large group of mighty groups rushed to Hangzhou City.At this time, there is no longer a blockade on the waterway, and the gate of Hangzhou City has been opened for them.

The fleet did not pass through the center of Hangzhou city, but directly detoured. There was a brief stop on the way. There were people waiting for them at the pavilion by the river. Xue Xun and Xue Yue went to the appointment hand in hand.

The pavilion by the river was surrounded by thick cotton cloth, airtight, and the pavilion was too small to accommodate many people. When Xue Xun and Xue Yue arrived, a servant raised the curtain, and the people inside came out in a file. A middle-aged man sat upright in the pavilion, the curtain was raised high and remained on for a while, to show that there was no ambush in the pavilion.

Xue Xun nodded to the person who opened the curtain, and the armed guards he brought were also left outside the pavilion, and the two brothers Xue Xun and Xue Yue walked in slowly.

"Master Wang." Xue Xun greeted first, and it turned out that this was the famous Wang Shunu.

"Mr. Xue, please sit down." Wang Shunu got up to greet him.

"Why did Mr. Wang come to see Xue in such a leisurely manner? Could it be that there is something that has not been properly handed over?" Xue Xun asked.

"No, everything is in order."

"That's good." Xue Xun nodded, without 2 taels of silver, he couldn't buy a proper reason.Now 20 taels of silver is enough for a family of five for a year, 2 taels, even if Wang Shunu guards the wealthy city of Hangzhou, there is no rich salt merchant who can pay so much money at once, especially when he was impeached by Beijing. , No follow-up after trying all means, and the merchants in the city are also waiting and watching.

Now that it's appropriate, why invite them ashore?Xue Xun didn't say anything, but his demeanor already showed doubts.
