Not long after Yang Yugang left, Li Xun was preparing to eat, and his own soldiers came to report. Feng Jiming, the military officer of Wuzhou Hucao, asked to see him.

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "What's wrong with the people in the Wuzhou Governor's Office? I'm not the Wuzhou Governor, why are they looking for me?"

The soldier said cautiously: "Captain, that villain will drive him away?"

"Forget it, Feng Jiming is old to me, let him come in."

Li Xun waved his hand and said feebly, "Although Feng Jiming is of average ability, he is still a responsible and conscientious official. In some matters, he dares to speak and adhere to principles. A person with a strong personality like Zhou Qing has a temper."

He is generally very arrogant, and few people can catch his eye. Even Wu Heng, his superior, dares to force himself on anyone he doesn't like. When Zhou Qing left, he was transferred to Wu governor and Wu'an County.

There were seven or eight officials in the government, but he took Feng Jiming away alone and kept him around for appointment. From this point of view, Feng Jiming's ability was not to mention, but at least his character was not bad.

"Yes, Governor."

The soldiers said goodbye and left.

After a while, Feng Jiming walked into the room, raised his hands and said, "I'd like to see you, Lord Governor."

Li Xun nodded and said jokingly: "Feng Jiming, it's lunch time now. If you come to my governor's house at this time, are you ready to have a meal?"

Feng Jiming smiled bitterly and said: "Captain Li, I am so worried that I can't think of eating!"

Li Xun frowned: "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Director Li, something happened to Mr. Zhou..."

Feng Jiming told the story again.

Zhou Qing's temperament is too straightforward, too reserved, sharp-cut, and doesn't understand the ways of the world. People like him will probably not be liked wherever he goes. Yang Yu, the governor of Wuzhou, doesn't like Zhou Qing either, but he still has some problems.

He is an official in principle, otherwise how could he sit in the position of left minister of the Ministry of Rites?

Yang Yu kept public and private affairs very separate. Although he didn't like Zhou Qing, it was just a personal feeling. There was no personal friendship between the two. However, in terms of normal work, Yang Yu still appreciated and valued Zhou Qing very much.

, they trust and reuse him very much. They have been working together as a team for a year, and the cooperation is quite pleasant. However, a few months ago, due to some things, the relationship between the two reached a deadlock.

With the full liberalization of business and trade between Dashi and Dajin, the situation in Longyou has completely stabilized. The flow of people has increased significantly, and the concentration of merchants and goods has become increasingly dense. The entire Wuzhou, especially Wu'an County, has

If there is a good sign of vitality, no one will doubt that Wuzhou will be completely prosperous in a few years.

When some dignitaries in the dynasty saw the situation in Wuzhou, they immediately became interested and began to purchase land and shops on a large scale. Following Wang Zhaomu, he bought more than a hundred shops in Wu'an City at one time.

This is equivalent to 30% of the total number of shops in Wu'an County.

There is also land, and a large amount of land is occupied by powerful families.

Zhou Qing was very angry about this and tried his best to stop it, which eventually angered some people. Yang Yu wrote to the court and consulted Zhou Qing's book, which was seconded by many ministers. Emperor Zhao Zhi has not yet made a decision on this matter.

But the situation is obviously very bad for Zhou Qing.

Feng Jiming was very grateful to Zhou Qing for promoting him. He couldn't bear to see Zhou Qing meet a tragic end. After thinking about it, he finally came to Wu'an City and went to the Governor's Mansion to find Li Xun. In his opinion, Zhou Qing had no background.

, if you want to escape this disaster, only Li Xun can help. Li Xun and Zhou Qing usually seem to be on the wrong side and often quarrel, but many people can see it. Li Xun has nothing to do with Zhou Qing.

Very appreciated.

After listening to Feng Jiming's description, Li Xun couldn't help rolling his eyes. No matter where Zhou Qing went this time, he always offended everyone first. This was the case for Wu Heng before, and the same is true for Yang Yu now. In Li Xun's view,

This Zhou Qing is an angry young man with an aggressive personality. He thinks that as long as he has righteousness in his heart, he can be fearless. Little does he know that in this world, only the strong can make sense, while the weak can only be trampled under the feet of others.

Li Xun said in confusion: "I don't understand. If other people have money, they can buy whatever they want. Why does Zhou Qing try so hard to stop him? Isn't this just looking for trouble?"

Feng Jiming said seriously: "Captain Li, in our Jin Dynasty, if you have a title or have reached a certain level, you do not need to pay any taxes. Mr. Zhou often told me that the Jin Dynasty has such a vast territory and a population of hundreds of millions.

Zhao, but now he is so poor that even official salaries are announced. What is the reason? It was this group of people who praised Wuzhou's prosperity. As soon as Wuzhou's prosperity started to show some signs, those people came impatiently.

If we don't ignore land enclosure and wealth grabbing, no matter how prosperous Wuzhou is in the future, what does it have to do with the country and the government?"

Listening to Feng Jiming's words, Li Xun fell into silence. Zhou Qing, his stubbornness, is sometimes very annoying, but sometimes, it touches people's hearts. At least at this moment, Li Xun

Xun was shocked by Zhou Qing's feelings.

When Feng Jiming saw that Li Xun was silent, he said softly: "Captain Li, Princess Anyang, she alone has enclosed 500 acres of land in Xianchun County, Xiazhou, and the local government only sells one tael of silver for one acre of land. I...

..."

Li Xun closed his eyes and leaned back on his chair. He no longer had the intention to listen to what Feng Jiming said. The three states in the west of Longyou only had 350,000 taels of silver in taxes for the whole year. This was officially official.

Figures, and where did the rest of the money go when those rich and powerful people bought land, shops, etc.? I actually don’t have any information here.

Feng Jiming secretly looked at Li Xun and saw that he had his eyes closed and didn't speak for a long time. From the beginning to the end, he never expressed any attitude. Feng Jiming's face slowly showed a look of disappointment. In his opinion, without the help of outsiders,

Zhou Qing's crime this time was not serious, and he may not be in danger of death, but he may not be able to keep his official position.

After waiting for a while, seeing that Li Xun still had no words or actions, Feng Jiming shook his head, sighed softly, and was about to leave. At this time, Li Xun opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said in a deep voice:

"Does Zhou Qing know that you came to me?"

Feng Jiming was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said: "I came to you to be the governor. It was my own personal act. Mr. Zhou didn't know about it. If he knew about it, he would definitely not let me come."

Li Xun smiled. He naturally knew what kind of character Zhou Qing was. I am afraid that even if he died, he would not seek help from him.

Feng Jiming asked cautiously: "Director Li, what do you think about this matter..."

Li Xun said quietly: "I understand. Don't tell anyone about the matter you came to me about. Zhou Qing will do whatever he has to do. The court will not take over his punishment in a short time, so you don't have to worry.

"

Li Xun doesn't know whether Zhao Zhi likes or values ​​Zhou Qing, but at least Zhao Zhi has a good impression of Zhou Qing and has a good impression. It is not easy to make Zhao Zhi like someone. Zhou Qing committed

It's not a serious crime. Li Xun knows Zhao Zhi to some extent. Zhou Qing is an official whom Zhao Zhi has deliberately cultivated. Zhao Zhi will not make a decision easily on such a small matter. In a short time, Zhou Qing will not do it.

anything.

"Captain, are you ready to help Mr. Zhou?"

Li Xun's attitude was unclear, so Feng Jiming asked a question.

Li Xun smiled faintly: "I'm not helping Zhou Qing, and he doesn't need my help. Some people don't take me seriously. How can I not hate it in my heart? Everyone wants face. Since they don't give me face,

Then I can only get this face back by myself."
