"Wow, good guy! Is this fucking sour?"

In the backyard of Guanglu Temple, Li Jinglong couldn't even close his mouth. He stared at the several servants with wide eyes and carefully placed two and a half-man-long, dark and shiny black fish into the pond.

The scales on the two fish were like iron armor, flapping like hills in the water.

"Where did such a big fish come from?" Li Jinglong asked.

A young sesame official behind him leaned over and replied, "If you want to go back to your grandfather, the river in Liaodong has just opened. It was the Jurchen barbarians who were arrested there and sent it to the Liaodong Dusi and said it was a tribute to the Emperor Long live!"

"The Liaodong Metropolitan Command specially sent a boat to the capital by water. I heard that there were originally a larger fish king, one of which was 70 to 80 kilograms, but it was not supported on the road, so these two were left behind!"

"I care so much for the two fish!" Li Jinglong snorted and muttered in a low voice, "I'll just squeak and twist when I ask for some ginseng and antler from my mother, I don't need to clean up!"

As he said that, he turned around and asked the little official, "Where is your prince consort?"

The little official said immediately, "Go back to the grandfather, the prince consort is working in the main hall!"

"Oh, please report and say I'm here!" Li Jinglong glanced at the two big black fish a few more times and said casually.

"Go back to the grandfather, the prince consort has given him a long time ago. Just come in and come in directly, there is no need to report!" the little official said with a smile.

"Ha!" Li Jinglong nodded and looked at the little official again, "I think you are a little kind-hearted? We've seen him before?"

"Secretary Zhang Zhenzong, have you seen you several times!"

The guy in the teahouse that day has now been transformed and has become another person. He speaks neither humble nor arrogantly, and behaves generously and properly.

I have to say that the official thing can change a person's temperament the most.

"Oh, I remembered it!" Li Jinglong smiled and patted his forehead, "Have you ever seen General Manager Wang?"

The story of this young man Zhang Zhenzong has long been famous in the capital. It is a topic of conversation that many people sigh after dinner.

A young man from a teahouse, the lowest-level little man, by chance, made kind-hearted help to the beggar, but he didn't expect that the beggar was the nephew of the chief general of the Qianqing Palace in the dynasty.

This story has been adapted into various forms, various rhetorics, and even became a minor tune in the opera troupe's mouth.

"Secretary..." Zhang Zhenzong smiled, "I haven't been there!"

Li Jinglong asked casually, but suddenly heard the answer and said in surprise, "Have you seen it? You kid, you gave you a future, you don't even want to thank you!"

"It's not that the Xiaguan doesn't want to go, but that the Xiaguan feels... the Xiaguan is afraid of causing trouble for General Manager Wang, so he can only keep this love in his heart!" Zhang Zhenzong said, "Do this job well and don't embarrass General Manager Wang."

This statement surprised Li Jinglong a little.

According to common sense, it would be strange if a small person suddenly meets a big person and doesn’t want to please and curry favor with each other!

But the young man in front of him actually knew the word "subtle"!

The higher the status, the more you hate people who don’t know how to behave!

"Rare!" Li Jinglong took a little interest and looked at Zhang Zhenzong again, "Can you still handle the errands here?"

"It's also a bumpy one! Xiaguan doesn't study much, and he doesn't recognize some of the words!" Zhang Zhenzong smiled bitterly, "Fortunately, Xiaguan used to learn a good plan and could barely deal with it!"

"Abacus beads are also a skill for food!" Li Jinglong smiled, then looked at Zhang Zhenzong again, and suddenly felt aroused in his heart.

"Here you come!"

Hu Guan sat behind the chair, piled up a pile of official documents in front of him.

"Wow!" Li Jinglong stepped in, sat down directly on the chair, and smiled, "You are so busy!"

"The season has changed, and the palace people need to add new clothes! The recipes must be changed, and there are rice, grain and cloth rewarded to the royal family..." Hu Guan sighed and pointed to the official documents, "I have been killing people and setting fires since elementary school. Who knew that I actually had to settle accounts now!"

"Ha!" Li Jinglong, "You haven't learned to kill and set fire! Otherwise, you're in the army now!"

"Haha!" Hu Guan was not angry either. He looked at the person below who served tea to Li Jinglong, then waved his hand to let the people retreat, "Is there anything wrong?"

Li Jinglong took a sip of tea slowly, then frowned suddenly and said, "This is the only tea in Guanglu Temple?" As he said that, he lifted the lid of the cover bowl, glanced at it and said disgustedly, "Isn't this the shaved Mozi tea brick?"

"Do you think your Duke Cao's mansion drank tea worth dozens of silver dollars per kilogram?" Hu Guan smiled. "The emperor has been cutting the cost of the palace over the years, and the total budget this year is more than 700,000!" As he said that, he picked up the account book in his hand and shook it. "Even the rouge money of all the concubines in the palace has been reduced by 30% as in previous years. I, the steward's yamen, would be good if I had tea!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jinglong smiled knowingly.

The accounts in the palace are just confusing accounts, and there are too many expenses.

If it’s just about food and clothing, how much can it be used?

"Tell me the serious matter!" Hu Guan said again, "What are you doing here today?"

"You said this!" Li Jinglong smiled, "I've had any bad things for the time being?" As he said that, he leaned forward, "I told Li Zhigang that I will select personnel from Guangdong Customs, you can prepare early!"

"Oh!" Hu Guan thought about it and nodded, "I understand!" As he said, he looked at Li Jinglong, "Qi Buzheng's term is in August, and you have to say hello to the new governor!"

"Yeah!" Li Jinglong said, "This is natural!"

As he said that, he grinned and smiled a little, "Everything is ready, but the east wind is needed. I will be able to approve a few more boats in the treasure boat yard, and our fleet will be in one!"

"It's not ours!" Hu Guan corrected him seriously, "It's the emperor!"

"Yes!" Li Jinglong nodded.

He belonged to both the emperor, Li Jinglong, and to Guanglu Temple under Hu Guan.

The Royal Ocean Shopping Mall!

The shareholders are the Emperor, Li Jinglong, the Royal Money House of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Revenue...

"There is something else!" Li Jinglong continued, "The Suzhou magistrate is about to be vacant! Liu Guan, the prefect of Suzhou, will be transferred to the position of the Chief of Taxation Department of the Capital!"

Under the table, Hu Guan's shaking legs suddenly stopped.

"You have the successor?" Hu Guan asked.

"Not me!" Li Jinglong smiled and pointed on his head, "Yang Rong!"

"Oh!" Hu Guan nodded and looked at Li Jinglong, "Will it be easier to do things in the future?"

"What do you think?" Li Jinglong smiled and said, "You introduced you to me that day, haha! It was also a coincidence that he and Li Zhigang are good friends!"

"Ha!" Hu Guan smiled, "Well, what a fucking coincidence!"

As he said that, he looked at Li Jinglong a few times, "He, Li Zhigang, don't know Liu Guan and you..."

"No one except you!" Li Jinglong said, "That's you, I have to accept him as a disciple if you talk to me. Otherwise, after so many years, who did I accept?"

"But I haven't seen you get less money!" Hu Guan said with a smile.

"Oh, be careful when speaking!" Li Jinglong smiled, "My money is reasonable and legal!"

Hu Guan curled his lips and said in his heart, "You are reasonable and legal, but you are not Cao, and your money is not clear!"

"There's something else!" Li Jinglong suddenly said again.

"Then let's talk! You are mysterious!" Hu Guan wondered.

"Your subordinate Zhang Zhenzong..." Li Jinglong hesitated for a moment, "Can you use it for me?"

Hu Guan was stunned and opened his mouth, "That guy is very easy to use!" As he said, he said, "Although he is a little low-class and younger, he is a steady person! He is hardworking and has the ability to see him! Why are you using him? How come you lack people under your command?"

"Tsk..." Li Jinglong smiled, "Li Zhigang told me just now that the straw troupe is short of staff! I also think that the child is good, and I think it's better to send him to Li Zhigang!"

Hu Guan's eyelids twitched and he said suspiciously, "Are you so kind?"

"I just said it casually and didn't want to pull it!" Li Jinglong said with a smile, "I just thought about it. Everything was difficult at the beginning. I helped Li Zhigang find a few obedient people, but they didn't make a fuss. I helped him get the stall first!"

"I think that child is good, it's a good material for welcoming and sending him off! Besides..." Li Jinglong paused, "You also know that Mr. Wang... I want to ease the peace if I can...."

"Your brain..." Hu Guan smiled bitterly, "How tired you are in your life!"
