In the head of the Transport Authority Office, Xu Ping held a hand stove and kept flipping through the accounts on the case, without raising his head for a long time. Not far away from the update, Yang Gao and Zhong Shiheng shuttled through the case-by-case parts, whispering various miscellaneous tasks.

How to convince Yan Shu? Xu Ping only has this real economic data, and there is nothing else. If you want to win over Yan Shu with various benefits, you can't even think about it. Even Lu Yijian and Wang Zeng could not pull Yan Shu to their side. Why is Xu Ping?

Yan Shu became an official at the age of fifteen. Although he was not old, he was too old to be old. As long as he did not cause any great trouble, no one could do anything to him. The most amazing thing was that he was idle. It was precisely because of his unparalleled status that Yan Shu basically did not participate in the dispute over the government, and at most he promoted capable middle and lower-level officials. During the Tiansheng period, he was demoted from the court because he opposed Zhang Qi as the Privy Councilor. This lesson was deeply learned from Yan Shu.

Put the hand stove on the table, Xu Ping leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his forehead.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. In this era, it is really not easy to convince others with economic data. What is wealth? Different eras have different answers. In this era, countless gold and silver can be regarded as wealth, huge amounts of copper coins can be regarded as wealth, pearls, jade and fragrant medicine can be regarded as wealth, and silk in the past can also be regarded as wealth. But all this has nothing to do with economic operation. Xu Ping promoted the commodity economy, requiring funds to remain in the chain of the commodity economy as capital, and the poor wealth generated is directly reflected in the usual form. Such wealth will be difficult to convince others.

It is precisely because such wealth is left on the books that only the operation of the commodity economy will appear, so Lu Yijian thinks it is a false account, and there is nothing to be called off. But he doesn't know that the numbers on the books represent the labor of hundreds of thousands of people on Jingxi Road this year. Once the numbers on the books are removed, the commodity economy chain established by Xu Ping will be uprooted. As long as the numbers on the books are solid, the chain of the commodity economy can be turned, and more and more commodities will be produced in exchange for more and more copper coins. This is a completely different economic form from before. How can the concept be changed so easily?

At this moment, Zhong Shiheng hurried in from outside and saluted in front of Xu Ping's case: "Ducao, as you ordered, Ruzhou magistrate Zhao, Mengzhou Tongzhou Tongzong Li Shen, Fangcheng County Magistrate Li Wei, and Zhengzhou Tongzong Lu Ge have already arrived at the Inn outside the city."

Xu Ping stood up straight and exhaled, "Okay, send someone to tell them that I will hold a banquet at the Caosi tonight and let them come to the city earlier. Just like last time, I live in our yamen and don't have to settle in the inn."

Zhong Shiheng promised.

Xu Ping said again: "Tonight, besides you and Deputy Envoy Yang, I will come here together to inform the magistrate Wang Tong. At the end of this year, everyone is afraid that they will not have time. If you have something to do at home, you should make arrangements early."

Zhong Shiheng said: "The eldest son of the Xiaguan is already an adult and he is taking care of his family, so there is nothing important."

Xu Ping nodded and asked Zhong Shiheng to go out for a busy schedule.

Wang Yaochen was about the same as Xu Ping, and his family had a small population and his wife was enough to take care of him. Although Yang Gao was old, he had only one son. He treated him as a treasure and was determined to be transferred back to the capital and recommend his son to the Bachelor's College. The situation at home was even simpler. Among the few people, Zhong Shiheng, who had the lowest official position, had many children and was complicated.

As soon as the sun set, there was still a touch of bright red in the sky, Zhao and other officials arrived at the Houya of the Transportation Commissioner.

In the garden pavilion, in addition to burning the fire, a few basins of charcoal fires were also lit, which burned warmly. However, the cold wind was biting, and people were occasionally rushing to their bodies by the cold wind, which made them shudder.

According to the practice of other officials, they would use the curtain to surround the pavilion. The outside was cold wind whistling, but the inside was as warm as spring. In the past, Kou Zhun liked to drink this way for a long night, and lit candles in the curtain. People who drink wine did not know the day and night, and they would not give up until they didn’t know the human affairs. Xu Ping did not like that kind of confined space. It was a habit to burn more charcoal than to surround the curtain.

Everyone saw the ceremony and sat down with the guest and host.

When Xu Ping saw Zhengzhou Tongzong Lu Ge sitting in the lower head, he said to him: "Prime Minister Lu Tong is here to sit in front of him, so he can speak when he is close."

Lu Ge felt embarrassed to stand up, moved his seat to the front, and bowed to Xu Ping to thank him.

Because he had boycotted Xu Ping with Sun Mian, Lu Ge was always guilty when he was in such an occasion and habitually sat in the corner. Xu Ping had no grudges in his heart. It was normal for him to support and invoke each other in the same year of the imperial examination and Jinshi. Xu Ping also did a lot of the same thing, not only did Wang Yaochen go to Henan Prefecture, but also promoted Zhang Dayou's official position a few days ago.

Compared with Sun Mian, Lu Ge has a relatively peaceful personality and does not have such strong ambitions. He helped Sun Mian that time, and he will not mention it if it fails. Chen Yaozuo, the governor of Zhengzhou, was very concerned about Xu Ping's reform, and he was in the middle. In the past two months, Lu Ge has gradually joined Xu Ping's small circle.

Lu Ge was a native of Huzhou. When he was a child, he was a boy test. Ma Liang, the magistrate of Hangzhou, attached great importance to it. He privately asked the magistrate who presided over the trial and asked Lu Ge to make the trial and explained. As a result, the incident was revealed and Lu Ge found out, and said: "I am ashamed of my opinion!" He did not participate in the trial and answer that year. Two years later, the Jinshi in the third year of Zhongtianxi, who was only sixteen years old, was the Tanhualang of that year.

The prodigy Yan Shu both became an official at the age of fifteen. Lu Ge postponed the imperial examination and was only sixteen years old. He was a monster in the imperial examination and Jinshi. However, he did not receive the favor of Ma Liang, and he had some influence on his future career. You should know that the prime minister Lu Yijian is Ma Liang's son-in-law, and his eldest son Lu Gongchuo married Ma Liang's granddaughter. When he was a young man, he missed Lu Yijian, a great backer. He didn't know whether it was a blessing or a misfortune for Lu Ge.

Everyone sat down. Li Yue and Zhong Shiheng had the lowest position and sat in the lower head. The public official served the wine and food, poured the glasses of wine one by one, and retreated.

Xu Ping raised his glass: "It is rare for everyone to gather together today, and drink this cup full, let's talk slowly!"

After three rounds of wine, Xu Ping put down the wine glass and said to several people: "We will eat some vegetables and fruits."

The moon rose at some point, and the cold light spread across the earth. The cold wind was getting smaller, and it was sobbing gently in the night sky, and it was still cold and harsh on people. There were no birds or insects in winter nights, and the whole world was quiet.
