Living in the same era and in the officialdom, Yu Kun's behavior naturally does not conform to mainstream values. Although Yu Kun wants to be happy with all his colleagues as much as possible and benefit everyone as much as possible from his profits, he feels uncomfortable in his heart.
There are still many balanced people out there.
A memorial was handed over to the emperor. The memorial was written by an official from another government office. Yu Kun naturally understood that someone was borrowing a knife to kill people. However, Yu Kun never dreamed that the person who participated in the memorial was arranged by Wu Bing.
Why Bing wanted to participate in Yu Kun's performance, he himself didn't know.
There are some strange things in human nature. The closer you get to know people, the easier it is to have conflicts and comparisons. Wu Bing received the most help from Yu Kun and was the one who knew Yu Kun better. As a Ming Dynasty man with a formal scientific background
Official, he could not compare with a small policeman in terms of intelligence and ability, which made Wu Bing feel very unbalanced.
Seeing that Yu Kun had made a fortune by producing toilet water and perfume, Wu Bing's psychology was even more unbalanced. Although Wu Bing's family had never been short of expenses since he became the county magistrate, but Yu Kun's lavish spending and spending money were not enough.
In comparison, Wu Bing, who had always had a high official position, felt ashamed.
The more he understood Yu Kun's ability, the more Wu Bing felt that Yu Kun was a potential danger to him. Maybe one day his official position would be replaced by Yu Kun, so he wanted to act first and secretly asked someone to write a letter of reference.
Yu Kun's memorial was played. If someone participated in the performance, it was natural that someone from the imperial court would come down to investigate.
Yu Kun naturally knew that someone was trying to hack him, but Yu Kun knew that he had nothing serious to do for his superiors to kill him. The worst thing he could do was to prevent Yu Kun from being the official historian. Yu Kun was already quite disgusted with the darkness in the officialdom, so he had no intention of doing so.
Definitely. However, Yu Kun cannot tolerate being hacked. He wants to investigate and find out who is trying to plot against him.
Yu Kun was in the officialdom, and he understood the darkness in the officialdom. Therefore, when facing the imperial envoys sent from the capital, he first sealed their mouths with money. In addition, most of the people under investigation said good things to Yu Kun, but
Several people bribed by Wu Bing said bad things about Yu Kun. Even the people who exposed Yu Kun said that he used his connections to sell toilet water and perfume to make money.
After more than ten days of investigation, the errand officer returned to the court and reported to the emperor. Yu Kun was demoted to the county government's chief catcher, and Wu Bing, Yu Kun's teacher, was also implicated and demoted to a fellow magistrate. Wu Bing
All I can do is knock out my teeth and swallow it, shooting myself in the foot. This is really a cycle of retribution.
Yu Kun felt very guilty for having implicated Wu Bing, and sent a large amount of toilet water and perfume to Mrs. Wu as compensation. Yu Kun is now prohibited from selling toilet water and perfume, but Yu Kun understands that it can still be traded after this gust of wind passes.
.What’s more, Yu Kun has been trading perfume privately, and now someone is asking him for perfume.
After returning to the county government and becoming the head catcher again, Yu Kun felt that his burden was much lighter. The magistrate of Qingshui County, Cen Hao, was a young official. His father was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. He sent his son down there for some training, and he would be better in the future.
Cen Haolin, who came to serve in the imperial court, had heard about the legend of Yu Kun before he took office. Now that Yu Kun has become his partner, he is in a very happy mood. This time he will actually interact with Yu Kun to see what kind of person he is.
Cen Hao was still single and lived alone in the county government office. Before going off to work, he sent a government servant to the arresting office to ask Yu to come. "My lord, the county magistrate, what are your orders when I summon a humble official?" Yu Kun just said
After receiving a relegation from the imperial court, he was very sensitive to questions from superior officials.
"Please sit down, Mr. Yu. I'm new here and I have no friends. Can Mr. Yu have a drink with Mr. Cen?"
"Your Excellency, the county magistrate, is so polite. I am honored to be humbled by you!"
Cen Hao bought six dishes. His taste was more Beijing-style, but Yu Kun liked it very much. Cen Hao was two years younger than Yu Kun, and his family background was very similar to that of Yu Kun. Because he was young, Cen Hao
There is no official airs at all. In private situations, he does not ask Yu Kun to address him by his official position, but instead calls him brother Yu Kun.
Yu Kun naturally has much more knowledge reserves than Cen Hao. Cen Hao's knowledge is all in poetry, but Yu Kun knows everything about astronomy and geography, which makes Cen Hao admire him very much. Cen Hao accidentally chatted with Yu Kun
In his case, Cen Hao learned something about Yu Kun helping Wu Bing, and he was very angry about Wu Bing's revenge. After drinking, he told Yu Kun about Wu Bing sending people to impeach Yu Kun.
"Your Excellency, are you sure this is the humble position that Wu Bing sent someone to sue for?"
"Brother Yu, you called me wrong again. You can just call me younger brother or younger brother. Everyone in the capital knows that Wu Bing sent someone to sue you. Many people feel that Wu Bing is seeking revenge. Do you know why he was demoted one level?
I'm telling you, it was my father's suggestion. I'll tell you again, once Wu Bing makes any mistakes again, he will be demoted. Yu Di predicts that Wu Bing will be demoted to the county magistrate within three years, and if there are no special circumstances, Wu Bing will be demoted to the county magistrate.
If he meets his fate, he will remain in the position of county magistrate for the rest of his life!"
"Thank you Brother Xian for reminding me. Brother Yu will investigate it personally. If it is really Wu Bing who did it this time, Brother Yu will draw a clear line with him and never associate with him again!"
Yu Kun looked at the sky and said goodbye to Cen Hao as soon as it was early in the morning. If Yu Kun didn't go home, Li Pingting wouldn't have a rest. When Yu Kun returned home, Li Pingting prepared a midnight snack for Yu Kun.
Yu Kunguang drank without eating, so he simply had a midnight snack. Li Pingting told Yu Kun that the largest department store wholesaler in Qingshui County came to visit today and wanted to represent Yu Kun's toilet water and perfume.
"Madam, this is a good thing. If he comes again tomorrow, you invite him to come home in the evening, and I will treat him to a drink!"
"Okay sir, do you want him to be our general agent?"
"Madam, you are really smart! Aren't there people paying attention to our toilet water and perfume now? I only produce and not retail this time, so others won't be able to catch me!"
"Sir, will letting someone else act as your agent make the prices of toilet water and perfume unstable?"
"My lady is really thoughtful, I have thought of this too. The reason why I asked my lady to talk to him tomorrow is to sign an agreement with him. He can become the general agent of the products we produce, but the wholesale and retail prices of the products must be
It’s up to us. As long as he makes a profit, he will agree to our request!”
"How much profit do you plan to give him?"
"With one tael of silver per bottle, he will also make a lot of money! If the toilet water and perfume are calculated as 500 bottles a day, he can make a steady profit of 400 taels of silver even if he throws away the cost. When the business develops to more than 1,000 bottles
, he can earn one thousand taels of silver every day, he can definitely do this business!"
"Master, if you produce, you will earn at least four times his profit, which is pretty good. We won't have the same risks as before. If he orders, we will produce. If he doesn't, we can take a break!"
"My wife is right. When money can be made, we will make more; when the situation is bad, we will live a stable life. It should be said that if we do not make money for ten years, it is enough for our family's consumption!"
"Master is right! Master, who is behind your back?"
"It's hard to say now. I already have an investigation target. I will tell you after I verify it. But I plan to stop this matter with you, and others will not tell them the truth!"
