Aunt Gongsun did not come alone, nor did she come with only her daughter-in-law. With her arrival, Lu Fan and a large number of followers also arrived, and then a large number of core personnel of the Amway headquarters also followed.
Come.
Obviously, Aunt Gongsun wanted to lay a solid foundation for Liaodong. Sometimes, if someone who can make the decision can come, no matter how they do it, or even if they do nothing, the effect will be excellent.
No, as soon as Aunt Gongsun arrived, the house she just bought behind the official temple in Xiangping County quickly became crowded with people. Local powerful people, businessmen, or powerful and powerful businessmen, as well as various strange small tribes in the nearby borders
The leader, and even the 'old' clan brother Gongsun Yu who once held the title of Two Thousand Stones came to greet him in person... This is natural. Even though Gongsun Yu is older than Gongsun Auntie, his seniority is there.
No matter what, she is still an aunt, right?
In short, Aunt Gongsun is still very good in the territory that she has managed for a long time, especially now that she has such a son who has a successful official career at a young age. The latter has obviously made up for the two biggest shortcomings of the former over the years -
—One is the deepest connection in the officialdom, and the other is a powerful force guarantee.
Everyone in the world today doesn’t know that Gongsun Xun of Liaoxi burned Shanhan Mountain on fire outside, making Tan Shihuai hate her to the bone; inside, he brutally killed Wang Fu, hung Xiamen’s corpse, and then went straight to the table of the minister to scold him.
Cao Jie and escaped with his whole body!
With such actions, Qiao Xuan's words spread almost all over the world... At least everyone here in Liaodong knows that... He is strong on the inside and sharp on the outside, and his sharpness can be the best in the world!
So when the mother and son work together, they are basically unstoppable in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Liaodong.
For example, Gongsun Xun originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity to collect taxes after autumn to plow the land of the local powerful families after the Yi Cong was in place. As a result, as soon as the order was given, his wife sent a rough summary of the local powerful families.
List of assets, and then a business discussion meeting, allowing most of these people to take the initiative to hand over their taxes.
As for the few who were too greedy to pay the small amount of money, Gongsun Xun was not polite. He caught one of the worst and most arrogant local tycoons and directly showed these people what it means to be a county magistrate who destroys his family! All the men in the family
Ding's heads were lined up along the gate of Xiangping County, which made Governor Gao dare not go out of the city to enjoy the scenery for a long time, let alone those few rich people who thought they could survive with their heads ironed?
For another example, the organization of "group prevention and group treatment" has the support of local powerful manpower, the feedback of Amway's financial resources, the justified orders from the county magistrate, and the out-of-sight and out-of-mind attitude of Governor Gao.
With a wave of his hand, he actually appointed the famous Pingguo Tieguan and Tieguancheng to a shopkeeper who came from Amway... This matter naturally fell into place.
I must say one more thing here. Although the salt and iron affairs in the Later Han Dynasty were closely guarded at first, due to the corruption and incompetence of officials, the salt and iron policy went back and forth. But now, it has finally been relaxed.
The consequence of this is that not only many small-scale salt and iron mines have been privately occupied by powerful powerful men, but also the world-famous iron officials have generally become a model similar to government-owned and privately owned... Specifically, the iron officials of the imperial court
Responsible for smelting and forging, and then splitting the product into two parts. The armor needed by the court was naturally sent up, but the rest was generally sold to the private sector.
The Amway had been responsible for the private business of the largest iron official outside the Great Wall, that is, Ping Guo Iron Official... If not, who would be responsible for this company... But Gongsun Xun's appointment and Gao Yan's weakness have made Ping Guo Iron Official
Tieguancheng has become the shopkeeper of Amway, which makes people of insight lament the decline of this world!
After all, in this case, let alone weapons... After all, weapons can't be bought and sold... But for other things, wouldn't Aunt Gongsun make whatever she wants?!
But back to the present, it must be said that the arrival of Aunt Gongsun is not necessarily a benefit. One obvious disadvantage is that Gongsun Xun has become so idle that he can hardly find the value of his existence...
Sometimes, it seems that all he needs to do is nod his head or sign, and things will go smoothly!
And everyone else, from his closest confidant Lu Ziheng to Lou Zibo who was said to be going for a big fight, all felt like they had become the butchers of Gongsun Auntie. That is, Han Dang spent all day training Xiang Yong and messing with him.
The group prevention and treatment work is quite busy.
"Meet Mr. Yuanjie." It was September and the weather was getting colder. Gongsun Xun, who had nothing to do as a messenger, relied on his wife's reputation to finally meet Zhang Jian and Zhang Yuanjie, who had always been stingy.
However, the imperial court's first prisoner and a well-known domestic figure still did not let Gongsun Xun, who came alone, into the room. Instead, he went directly to the entrance of the courtyard to meet him.
"Are you the Gongsun Wenqi whom Liu Wenrao and Lu Ziqian both valued?" Zhang Jian is over sixty this year, five years older than Liu Kuan, but standing in front of the courtyard wearing a cloth robe, his figure looks particularly straight.
, his beard and hair are only a little gray, but mostly black, which makes him appear to be in good spirits.
"I dare not say that I think highly of you. I am lucky to have the favor of two mentors." Gongsun Xun quickly bowed his head. "And all four of us brothers are favored by our mentors..."
"Four brothers..." Zhang Jian held his sword and raised his head in thought. "Who are the three other people besides you?"
"Both are brothers from the same family in western Liaoning." Gongsun Xun quickly explained. "The eldest brother Gongsun Zan, courtesy name Bogui, heard that because of his loyalty and righteousness, he was appointed Xiaolian by the county and is about to go to Luozhong to be a man.
Fan, from Wendian, who escorted my family members for me before, seems to be preparing to return to Luozhong to serve Master Liu; and the youngest clan brother Gongsun Yue, who has not yet been crowned, is working as an official in Liaoxi County...
"
"Four brothers from the same family." Zhang Jian couldn't help but laugh. "They are all young talents. In addition, Gongsun Du, the adopted son of your brother Gongsun Yu, I heard that he also had a prosperous official career and was very proud of his official career.
Come, I'm afraid your Gongsun family will become very prosperous in the future."
"If there is no heir to the classics, it is a second-rate family after all." Gongsun Xun suddenly heard the name of another 'Hero of the Three Kingdoms', even the one who occupied Liaodong, Gongsun Du, and did not panic. Instead, he responded as usual... In fact, he
I have been here for more than a month, how could I not know about the relationship between Gongsun Du and his distant clan brother?
I remember that when my elder brother Gongsun Yu was in Xuantu's office, he had a son named Gongsun Bao, but he died early. Not only was Gongsun Du's nickname Gongsun Bao, he was also the same age as his eldest nephew who died early.
...Needless to say what happened later, the two naturally had the same affection as father and son, and Gongsun Yu, as the prefect of Xuantu, not only gave Gongsun Du a wife, but also used his own connections ten years ago to make the latter
Characteristics of the imperial court: He entered the court as a prince, embarked on the official path, and then continued to serve as an official until now.
At that time, Gongsun Xun suddenly realized. No wonder Gongsun Du could take over Liaodong so easily and establish a business here. He felt that he had a political legacy! And he stole it from his own family!
However, it is useless to think too much, because as Zhang Jian said, Gongsun Du was admitted to the court ten years ago, and now I heard that he was traveling around Hebei. Whether he wanted to kill him or take him for his own use, there was no need to worry about it.
It's just a fantasy.
"It doesn't matter," Zhang Jian heard the other party talking about Confucian classics, but he remained calm. "Isn't it you? When he was weak, he did so many things, gained such a reputation, and became the prefect of a county before he was thirty years old.
I’m afraid it’s all too late… As for the study of Confucian classics, it may not be useful in the future, right?”
These words sounded like words of refusal, but Gongsun Xun felt weird in his heart, and then he thought about it and wanted to ask again.
However, after the other party said this, he suddenly stopped the pleasantries when they first met and started talking about business.
"I have been living outside the Great Wall for these years. I actually don't want to get involved in anything anymore, but I have been so kind to you Gongsun family, especially your mother, so I have nothing to say." Zhang Jian waved his name and said calmly.
"Since your mother has a special appointment, let's go quickly..."
Guessing that you were looking away from life, Gongsun Xun secretly slandered you in his heart, but he quickly led the way outside.
"Do you know what it is?" Zhang Jian asked calmly.
"It's just a banquet." Gongsun Xun was actually confused, so he could only reply reluctantly. "It is said that a distinguished guest from Goguryeo came and wanted to hold a banquet. He probably wanted to invite Duke Yuanjie to be there.
Do you want to show some of the Chinese culture of the Central Plains in front of the foreigners? My brother, Gongsunyu, the former prefect of Xuantu, is also going together. I think he wants to use his reputation in Goguryeo to scare the other party... one for both culture and one for military, that's probably it?"
"That's it." Zhang Jian remained calm.
"By the way," at this moment, Gongsun Xunfu remembered something again. "It seems that I heard someone said that Tieguan had made something special, and my mother seemed to want to take the opportunity to show it off..."
Hearing this, Zhang Jian, who had always been calm, suddenly froze, and then couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him warily.
And Gongsun Xun, who met Zhang Yuanjie's eyes in a flash of lightning, suddenly realized... The reason why this famous person in the country is cold to him is not only because he has experienced too much and has seen through the world of mortals, but also because he doesn't want to be with himself, a 'rebel'.
'How many ideas do you have to communicate with each other?!
It is a remote place outside the Great Wall, far away from the center. It is a place outside the law. Otherwise, Zhang Jian would not be able to live here safely for a long time. But the more so, the more he can understand that in this place far away from the center
How tyrannical is the Gongsun family at the core of local rule!
The Gongsun clan is spread all over the Bohai Sea, and the core descendants and direct in-laws of the Gongsun clan hold important official positions in various counties. This is nothing! But unlike the wealthy clans in other places, the Gongsun clan's Amway can actually benefit from trade.
To unite these people and even the powerful people from all walks of life below... These things seem to be commonplace to the locals, and they have even enjoyed it for a long time. But if someone in the center really knows about it, then from their perspective
, it’s not that you’re afraid of being a rebel, but it’s better than being a rebel!
Zhang Jian and Gongsun Xun suddenly looked at each other, and then each sighed, knowing that people can connect with each other through an accidental lapse and a look in their eyes.
"He is indeed a young talent that both Liu Wenrao and Lu Ziqian value." Under the wall of the county middle school, seeing no one around, Zhang Jian couldn't help but stop and say. "Actually, I also know that outside the Great Wall, it is remote, and everything has its own way.
It's true, and I, an imperial prisoner, won't doubt you... I've just lived here for many years and watched the number of refugees fleeing here in the Central Plains increasing day by day. How can I not know what kind of chaos the imperial court is now?
I heard from new businessmen that nowadays, when officials are promoted normally, they have to pay official money according to the level of position and the amount of oil and salary?"
"Yes!" Gongsun Xun was also helpless.
"That's right." Zhang Jian responded in a low voice. "The country is in confusion and we don't know where the future lies. Even if you, Gongsun, are loyal, how can you not go with the flow when the flood comes?"
"There is also a theory that the Yuan family in the court is the 'Emperor with the surname Zhong'," Gongsun Xun argued helplessly. "Also, although Yuan Feng died and returned home, his three sons had already made arrangements, which seemed to be quite organized..."
"Yuan Feng is dead?!" Zhang Jian was rarely moved again.
That's right, Yuan Feng is dead. This leader of the world named Zhong finally couldn't resist the destiny. After being paralyzed for several months, he gradually withered and died at home... According to his last words, he was buried in his hometown in Runan.
, the two sons supported the funeral. After the funeral, Yuan Shu and Yuan Ji naturally wanted to live in a cottage, but Yuan Benchu actually built a cottage next to the ancestral grave in Runan and lived in it. He also claimed that after observing filial piety for his mother, he would continue to live in the same house.
His father, Yuan Cheng, who died young, stayed in mourning for three years.
It doesn't matter whether his adoptive relative died early or his biological father just died, but the reputation of Yuan Benchu, who plans to live in Runan forever, is getting better and better. Taking advantage of the funeral, Ruying Wanluo's party members went to pay homage to him, but there were not many people.
Go and visit Yuan Ji and Yuan Shu who are also here.
For a time, there was quite a lot of bad blood between the three of them, but his uncle Yuan Wei could not control anyone at all!
"So I don't blame you." Zhang Jian continued after regaining his senses. "The Yuan family still wants to take action and manage the foundation, let alone you? And I don't mean to blame you. It is really the court's lack of ethics and corruption.
...It is said that if you lose your way at the top, you will lose your virtue at the bottom; then, in the middle, you will lose your benevolence, and then you will lose your justice..."
Gongsun Xun stood quietly and waited, but unexpectedly the other party stopped midway again.
"Let's not talk about this anymore," Zhang Jian suddenly said with emotion. "You only know one thing, that is, although I, Zhang Jian, am an imperial prisoner, I always regard myself as a Han official and a Han citizen. Under such circumstances, I simply have nothing to do with anyone.
I just don’t want to be involved too deeply.”
Gongsun Xun also sighed when he heard this and couldn't help but bow.
"Let's go!" Zhang Jianfu waved his hand again. "I'm also confused. Your mother is not a pushover. Even if she made some weird armor, she wouldn't show it. In my opinion, maybe
It’s an iron basin and an iron bowl!”
Gongsun Xun couldn't help but laugh, and the two of them immediately went out and got in the car. Then the county magistrate Gongsun personally drove the imperial prisoner to the house where Aunt Gongsun lived.
"Zi Heng," Gongsun Xun couldn't help but feel bored after inviting Zhang Jian back, so he called Lu Fan, who was in charge of the matter, and inquired about it in the courtyard. "Who is this Goguryeo nobleman?"
"He is indeed a rare nobleman there." Lu Fan explained seriously. "Does Wen Qi know about the Goguryeo system?"
"I have been in western Liaoning for a long time and I have heard about it." Gongsun Xun responded calmly. "You can just speak frankly. I will naturally be able to distinguish the important from the important."
"This is the head of the Guanna tribe among the five tribes of Goguryeo. I heard that he takes care of our Amway's business with Goguryeo, and his name is Yuya Kesi... But the old lady calls him the Mushroom King!"
Gongsun Xun was confused for a moment... He understood the first half of the sentence. Goguryeo was originally the savages of Fuyu who went south, and then came into contact with the civilization of the Central Plains, and finally evolved into what my mother called a half-tribal alliance and half-feudal country. And this kind of country
Under the system, the patriarch of one of the five clans is naturally one of the most respected nobles there, and is probably one of the most powerful figures in charge of the government!
But in the second half of the sentence, who is that Mushroom King?! Did the Emperor grant him the throne?! It’s just a small country with only two thousand miles of country and a population of no more than one Han county and one of the five tribes. How can it dare to claim the title of king?
