In the East Market, in the shop where Master Fu Yan had just left, a wealthy businessman wearing silk and satin hurriedly walked out and asked, "Where was that Master Fu Yan just now?"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately stepped forward to take credit and said: "Return to the master, I drove you away!"
"Driving him away?" The wealthy businessman gasped with smoke coming from his nostrils. He slapped him with a big slap in the face and angrily said, "Who told you to drive me away?"
"Destroy the family, ruin my reputation, and make me suffer this injustice!" The wealthy businessman angrily kicked him over again and ordered: "Go and chase me back immediately. If you can't chase me back, you don't have to come back. Yours
I will sell my wife and children as slaves to others!"
The guy's face instantly turned pale. He knew that he was in big trouble!
He quickly got up from the ground, knelt down and said, "Nuo, I'll go right away..."
"Slave dog, bring your gifts and come with me to plead guilty!" the wealthy businessman ordered loudly.
When it comes to fear, this wealthy businessman is truly fearful!
Who doesn't know that people from the Zongheng sect are famous for holding grudges?
The story of Fan Sui's revenge back then was well known to everyone. Now that the wealthy businessman recalled it, he felt terrified.
Do you have to wait until someone else becomes successful to settle the score with you?
Unfortunately, by the time the wealthy businessman found the place where Zhufu Yan lived, the building was already empty. According to the landlord, Zhufu Yan and his luggage had been moved away by a large group of people.
"If something happens to my family in the future, it will be because of you!" The wealthy businessman sighed and could only hide his face and walk away, looking for another solution. For the current plan, he can only spend money to eliminate the disaster. Fortunately, the father-in-law is still alive now.
Without an official position, if he is like Fan Sui back then, he will become Xu Jia, even worse than Xu Jia!
Xu Jia at least still has an old favor with Fan Sui.
While the city of Chang'an was noisy, the Ganquan Palace was extremely peaceful.
Gurgling spring water flowed down from the mountains. Queen Bo walked gently to a corner of the attic, then turned and walked down the stairs. Downstairs, Li Xin's figure appeared.
"Queen..." Li Xin knelt down and reported: "The Queen Mother has already convinced Concubine Su. We just need your Majesty to nod, and the big thing will be done!"
When Empress Bo heard this, her body trembled a little. She murmured: "Really?" This was something she had dreamed about in the past night, but when the light finally came to light, she was a little scared, fearing that it was just a matter of time.
A dream.
Li Xin kowtowed and said: "This is what His Highness told this servant. It should be true and it cannot be true anymore!"
Empress Bo nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, calmed down her mood, and said, "I understand, Li Xin, please go back to Chang'an first. I will take care of Ganquan Palace!"
Queen Bo knew the emperor very well.
If you want the emperor to nod and accomplish this, you need time.
Fortunately, she still has two months in Ganquan Palace to plan this matter and get the emperor's nod.

Weiyang Palace, inside Liu De's bedroom
"Your Highness... Since the announcement of the ranking list in Chang'an City, powerful and wealthy businessmen have been trying to seize their sons-in-law under the ranking list. Do we want to intervene?" Zhang Tang asked, kneeling on the ground.
When Liu De heard this, he also laughed. He waved his hand and said: "The people don't care about the officials. As long as there is no forced marriage, let them go!" Of course, someone had already informed him of what happened in Chang'an City.
For Liu De, this is the best promotional material!
It is also a good opportunity for him to win more supporters for his exams!
What did Song Zhenzong say in later generations: There is a beauty like jade in the book, and there is a house of gold in the book.
With this good story about catching a son-in-law under the rankings, it will undoubtedly make people's impression of the examination more profound.
What do literati want?
Isn’t it just about fame, fortune, cars and beautiful women?
Now the exams can be given to them!
As a result, all scholars from hundreds of families will definitely be shaken, and even some people who stay at home will be shaken out.
"No!" Zhang Tang nodded and left as ordered.
After Zhang Tang left, Liu De sat down and began to plan the path after the exam.
There is no doubt that the examination was a great success!
After passing the examination, Liu De initially grasped and owned a grassroots team and officially entered the political arena.
"First of all, Zhang Tang, Ji An, and Ju Meng are all going to be promoted!" Liu De thought for a while: "At least the rank ratio of six hundred stones!"
Merits must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. This is a skill that every high-ranking person must master.
Moreover, a simple and direct promotion is more exciting than any other reward, and can boost morale and inspire people.
For those who are about to take the exam, as soon as they enter the official career and see their seniors promoted to official positions, they will naturally feel envy, jealousy, and hatred, and they will also unconsciously have expectations. Once people have expectations, they will have recognition.
Only a team with a sense of identity and identity can have cohesiveness!
However, at present, Chang'an City is full of carrots and pits. It is really difficult to free up three official positions worth 600 dan.
Now there are two choices left for Liu De, either to conduct a targeted anti-corruption campaign and kill the three unlucky guys who have no backing, or to find another way and set up a new government office.
"Where can we find so much time to set up a new government office?" Liu De thought for a while and decided that it would be better to target anti-corruption.
"In two days, I'll go talk to Chao Cuo..." Liu De didn't believe it. The huge internal history yamen would not be able to find three corruption criminals.
Putting this matter aside, Liu De's thoughts drifted to another thing.
It’s almost June!
There are less than three months left before the autumn harvest. Whether the five baht coins he minted can be circulated depends on the harvest this time.
Immediately after the autumn harvest, the Han court immediately plunged into an invisible war.
Liu De remembered clearly that in September, Hengshan State suffered a severe hail disaster. The hailstones that fell were as big as fists and could even hit the ground two feet deep. Almost all crops were destroyed in the ice disaster.
In his previous life, Cheap Daddy's performance during this crisis was perfect.
Originally, natural disasters were warnings from God. If it were another emperor, he might have only thought of issuing an edict to punish others.
However, after receiving the news of the disaster in Hengshan, Mr. Cheap immediately ordered the prime minister and the prime minister to mobilize supplies and resources across the country to rescue Hengshan, so that the Hengshan Kingdom did not suffer from turmoil due to the sudden natural disaster.
What's more, after this incident, Hengshan Kingdom immediately transformed from being a rebel or even a rebel, and became the strongest supporter of the Han family, even stronger than the King of Liang!
Not only that, after this incident, a large number of princes who were sitting on the fence quickly changed their stance and leaned towards the center.
Zhidu was promoted because of his meritorious service in rescuing the Hengshan Kingdom. Later, Zhidu was appointed as the prefect of Jinan. More than ten counties around Jinan all followed him. In addition to Zhidu's prestigious reputation, he also made great achievements in rescuing Hengshan.
for the sake of merit.
Liu De didn't want to attack, it was useless to take the credit!
What he has to do is very simple. When cheap daddy needs food, he can throw away millions of stones.
In this way, Liu De's position will naturally be more stable!
"Killing two birds with one stone!" Liu De touched his chin and laughed. Of course, this was just his optimistic idea. It would definitely be difficult to implement it, and he would also have to face the double siege of grain merchants and coin merchants.
If you want to get through it perfectly, you can't just think about it. It requires a plan made after careful thinking.
PS: Currently, the first order is almost 1,800~ Although it has not exceeded 2,000, I am satisfied!
