Chapter 232 It’s only the fifteenth day of the lunar month! (Here we come!)

Xiao Gu quickly asked: "How do you say it?"

Meng Fu said with a smile: "This Yushi Zhongcheng is not a good person. He wants to live alone."

Xiao Gu's face suddenly became serious when he heard this: "You mean, Zhang Heng gave this to me?"

Meng Fu nodded and said: "I guess that should be the case. I heard that Zhang Heng and Ding Du and Song Xiang were not very good at dealing with each other. Ding Du and Song Xiang were demoted from participating in politics to the local government. It was also Zhang Heng's handiwork. Tsk tsk, this is to kill them all.

.”

Xiao Gu suddenly fell into deep thought, and after a while he said: "Then if we go to rob Jiangnan East Road this time, wouldn't we be aiding the tyranny, or in other words, becoming the sword in Zhang Heng's hand?"

Meng Fu laughed: "My boss, there is no justice in political matters. You also know the Haizhou case. Ding Du, Song Xiang and others blocked Jia Xianggong, and what happened after that was just Zhang Heng's counterattack.

In the past, Ding Du, Song Xiang and others were in the first grade of junior high school, so why couldn’t Zhang Heng be in the fifteenth grade?”

Xiao Gu nodded and said, "Then what should we do this time?"

Meng Fu said decisively: "My boss, this is a good opportunity for us. Guangnan West Road has not been peaceful recently. Aren't you always worried about Nong Zhigao causing trouble? Nong Zhigao is often restless. With his strength, if he attacks Guangnan West Road,

Lu has an agenda, and I’m afraid that you will take the blame when the time comes, so why not take advantage of this moment and get out as soon as possible?”

Especially Ding Du and Song Xiang, they didn’t look very relaxed.

In addition, Zhang Heng is now at the peak of his power, and I am afraid that the next step is to become a minister of the Prime Minister. If you can recruit him as an aid, you will have someone in the court who is easy to serve as an official."

Wen Yunhong heard about the wonderful story that happened in the Judge's Court, and was still immersed in it. He was stunned when he heard this: "Shuai Cao, what do you want me to know about?"

Zhang Heng hesitated for a moment, and Song Xiang followed up: "I agree, Zhang Zhongcheng, let's announce it in public to prevent anyone from taking any shady measures."

Zhang Heng comforted him: "Wei Shuai, this year is very difficult, but there should be no problem with the rain this year. After you go back, encourage spring plowing. As long as there is a bumper harvest this year, you will be able to breathe a sigh of relief. As for the population problem, it is actually a good thing. Hebei

The East-West Road originally had more people and less land, so it was less capable of resisting risks. Once there was a disaster, many people would starve to death. Now that there are fewer people, there is more land, which is actually a good opportunity."

Wei Guandao said: "Hebei West Road suffered heavy losses due to drought last year. It was difficult for the officials to care about the people of Hebei West Road, so they exempted Hebei West Road from the field tax this year, so the field tax will not be paid."

Meng Fu said: "It's done!"

——

Wen Yunhong entered the yard and saw Wei Zushun sitting under the tree, meditating. Hearing footsteps, Wei Zushun raised his head and saw it was him, and said hurriedly: "Mr. Wen, come here quickly."

Wei Zushun suddenly became energetic: "Is that really what you said?"

Meng Fu chuckled: "My boss, since you entered the official career, you have never taken sides, but now you have become a frontier official. If you are still unwilling to take sides, you may not be able to get up, and you will only be a transit envoy for the rest of your life.

, in the future, when you get older, the most you can do is return to the court and become an idle official. Don’t you want to go further?

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "You are serious."

Wen Yunhong nodded and said, "That's true."

Meng Fu said happily: "My boss, don't worry too much. If there is no one in the court, your official career will come to an end. Moreover, you are a transshipment envoy on a remote road. If you can get to Jiangnan East Road as a transshipment envoy this time, maybe you can

If you step out with this step, will the field become wider?

Everyone looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Xiao Gu nodded and said, "Then let's do it?"

Wei Zushun pointed to the stool and motioned for Wen Yunhong to sit down, explained what happened today, and then said: "Please help me read the details."

Wen Yunhong laughed immediately after hearing this: "That's what you're talking about. I have an idea. Let me tell you, please listen..."

Zhang Heng didn't say much about this, and then said: "Commander Zu, will you come?"

Wei Zushun asked curiously: "Then why don't you let me take Jiangnan East Road? That place is very rich. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Jiangnan East Road failed to develop last year because of the drought. It will probably recover this year.

If you go to Jiangnan East Road, your political performance this year will not be much different, and you may even be able to enter the court based on this!"

Wei Zushun immediately reacted: "You mean, Zhang Heng wants to get Song Xiang?"

Wen Yunhong hurriedly said: "Shuai Cao, you can take South Jing Road!"

The rest of the transit envoys had nothing to disagree with.

These words touched Xiao Gu. He had indeed stumbled along the way since he entered the official career. He was now nearly sixty before he became a transport envoy. However, because there was no one around, he could only work as a transfer envoy on Guangnan West Road, where no one wanted to go.

Transporter, who is willing to go to that kind of barbaric place with background?

If it is true as Meng Fu said, and Zhang Heng will support him in the court in the future, maybe he will be able to return to the court one day!

Wen Yunhong said: "It is indeed a bit high, but if it were not high, I probably wouldn't be able to get it down. But Zhang Heng said that when we get it down, he will help us."

Jingnan South Road is close to the capital, and together with Jingxi North Road, Yongxingjun Road, Hebei East Road, Hebei East Road, Jingxi East Road and Huainan East Road, it protects Kaifeng Mansion. It is the most important road for the imperial court. Unless it is an important official of the imperial court,

Generally not granted easily.

Ouyang Xiu also smiled and said: "It's fun, I think it's okay. If any colleagues like Jingdong East Road, as long as they have the strength, they can take it."

Wei Guan, the transfer officer of Hebei West Road, looked at everyone, then smiled bitterly and said: "Hebei West Road is last, so let's start from my side."

Wen Yunhong said: "That man's name is Tong Boding, and he belongs to Zhang Heng."

Wen Yunhong hurriedly said: "Uncle Wei, please don't act recklessly. Fujian Road is run by Gao Yijian. You don't know the connection between Zhang Heng and Fujian Road. The one who presides over the examination method this time is Zhang Heng. If you go and rob

Fujian Road, how could Zhang Heng be so willing?

The eighteen transfer envoys looked at each other, and Fu Bi was the first to say: "I think there is no problem."

Wei Zushun snorted and said: "Jingnan Road is an important place to defend the capital. Only close officials of the government can serve. I have never been on such an important mission since I became a transport envoy. This Jingnan Road

I'm afraid it's impossible to get it. I've thought about it, why not go to Fujian Road? Fujian is developing well now, and I could enjoy a few years of happiness in the past."

The reason why I proposed to you to take the South Beijing Road is because the transfer envoy there is Song Xiang!"

However, there is still a tax on salt, iron and tea. However, because a large number of people went south last year, and now only one out of ten people on Hebei West Road survives, the tax on salt, iron and tea is also estimated to have plummeted. Therefore, Hebei West Road will be very difficult this year..."

Wei Zushun read the note and his eyes narrowed: "Who is that person?"

The transport envoys from all walks of life gathered together. Today's transport envoys all looked solemn. They were obviously officials from a certain land, but they were under the same pressure as when they took part in the imperial examination.

Wei Zushun suddenly gained confidence and said with a smile: "Then there's nothing more to say, let's do it!"

——

Trial Court.

Wen Yunhong smiled and said: "How can you be qualified or unqualified? With your qualifications, Marshal Cao, even if you are promoted to Prime Minister, there is nothing unqualified. How come you are not qualified to be a transport envoy?"

Wei Zushun was surprised: "Southern Jing Road?"

"The situation on Hebei East Road is about the same as that on Hebei West Road. Don't even think about taxes this year. It's difficult to tax salt, iron and tea. We can only encourage spring plowing. The population is also fleeing. If it were in previous years, fleeing

The people affected by the disaster can still come back and continue farming, but now they have gone to Guangnan East Road, and presumably they have taken root there. Alas, that's all. There is a colleague who wants to change with me, and I am absolutely willing.

!”

When Xiao Gu heard this, he was immediately moved, but he still had concerns: "If this is the case, it may offend Ding Du, Song Xiang and others."

Wen Yunhong nodded and said: "Yes, Jingnan Road!"

The current Hebei East-West Road can only recuperate and slowly regain its strength, but there are also advantages, because a large number of farmers have moved south, and now there are many fields on the Hebei East-West Road. As long as God is kind and the climate is better in the past few years, we can have good harvests for a few years.

The extra fields can also feed a lot of people.

Zhang Heng saw everyone's expressions and smiled and said: "Everyone is here, let's get started."

Wei Guan looked a little embarrassed, "... Hebei West Road only has about 300,000 guan in taxes this year. However, I will work hard on land reclamation and strive to reclaim all the fields that were abandoned last year. However, the new

It is impossible to increase the area. Hebei West Road has been cultivated to the extreme, and there is no extra land to develop.

Wei Zushun frowned and said, "Isn't this...I'm not qualified?"

Wei Guan sighed and continued, "... Hebei West Road will encourage births and strive to retain the original people. As for how much it can increase, I can't guarantee this."

In addition, you are worried about Zhang Heng crossing the river and destroying the bridge. I think there is no need to worry about this matter. No matter what you say, you are still a feudal official. Even if Zhang Heng becomes the prime minister, the weight of a feudal official will make him dare not despise him!"

Wen Yunhong suddenly felt helpless, but he did not dare to say anything more. Wei Zushun was his father's friend, so even though he was an aide, his words were not polite.

Wen Yunhong quietly took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wei Zushun. Wei Zushun didn't take it seriously: "What is this?"

Xiao Gu... It's not Xiao Gu's turn to speak. Here, he is actually a transparent person.

Wen Yunhong was suddenly startled. He hurried over and asked anxiously: "Cao Shuai, what, what happened?"

Wen Yunhong chuckled: "He may not only want to mess with Song Xiang, but also want to mess with Ding Du. Their hatred has deepened. There was no chance before. Now that we have the opportunity, there is no reason to let it go."

Zhang Heng also sighed. Hebei West Road is indeed very difficult this year. There is nothing we can do about it. The successive years of famine in the north have already damaged our vitality. And it is no wonder that Guangnan East Road is poaching people from Hebei East and West Road. As for the situation last year, if

If Guangnan East Road had not taken in the victims, many more people would have died.

Now is the best opportunity. Behind Zhang Heng are Zeng Gongliang, Wu Yu, and Zhang Fangping. If you are willing to get closer, you might have a chance to enter the center.

Bao Zheng didn't speak, but nodded.

Wei Zushun suddenly became dissatisfied and said: "What else could it be? I don't want to stay on Jinghu South Road, that ungrateful place. I've long been tired of staying there. I might as well go back to Chengdufu Road. At least Chengdufu Road is suitable."

Retirement.”

Zhang Heng nodded.

After saying that, Zhang Heng was about to get up and go to the inner room. Ding Du suddenly said: "I have nothing to say to others, so why not just stay here?"
