Chapter 1191 Can't eat four dishes

  Wu'an Governor's Mansion Chief Shi Wang Boli's sitting in the study, the past few days the Wu'an Governor's Mansion's old Qin family gathered in Wei Gongbao, which made him very disturbed.

   But he made all kinds of inquiries, but only got some simple news. It is said that the Qin family's mine in Treasure Island overseas was attacked by the natives.

  Wang Boli was originally the governor of Songzhou, and was later demoted to the governor of Wu'an because he was attached to the king of Wei. He came to this prosperous Taiping Port and realized that the long history of Wu'an is difficult to do.

  Qin Lang, the governor, is not actually in charge of the affairs of the governor's mansion. Although Qin Lang's eldest son, Qin Jun, is the governor of Wu'an Prefecture, he is also not in charge of state affairs. But only after coming here did I realize that the Qin family has too much influence here.

   Everything has to consider them, and even be influenced by them.

And since Qin Lang resigned from Beijing and returned to the fiefdom, it has become even more difficult for him to be a long history. Now that Qin Lang has made such a big noise, he still doesn't know it from him. As a local governor, he has the obligation to report to the court. Report, and he also has the qualification of the emperor's secret recitation, this kind of thing should be reported to the emperor's secret recitation.

But he hesitated again. Usually, the Qin family treats him pretty well. After being relegated as governor of Songzhou, the Qin family gave him a lot of face. Anyway, his long history basically doesn't need to do anything, and everything is in order here. If you encounter any troubles, you can go to the Qin family directly, and the Qin family will solve everything as soon as they come forward.

  If you report to the court now, it will undoubtedly offend the Qin family, and it may be difficult to stay here in the future. But he didn't report it, but if other officials reported it, he would inevitably be blamed at that time.

   The report was written several times, and he threw it into the brazier every time he finished writing.

   "Ah Lang, I have a visitor."

   "Not seen."

   "The Qin family is in charge."

  Wang Polly stood up quickly when he heard that, "Say it sooner, I'll go to meet you in person."

  In the front hall, Guanshi Qin is drinking tea, and Chang Shi's entourage is carefully waiting on him.

   "Oh, why is Guan Shi here, but Mr. Wei has something to order?"

   Qin Guanshi smiled and gave a gift first. It was not a yellow and white vulgar thing, but a calligraphy and painting. It was actually a pair of thin gold calligraphy written by Qin Lang.

   "Hey, Duke Wei has done a great job, you don't get paid for nothing."

  Steward Qin got straight to the point, "Wei Gong originally wanted to visit Wang Changshi in person, but he was afraid that the influence would be bad, so he asked someone to come..."

  After some words, Wang Changshi's expression was solemn, and his mood became more entangled.

  Officer Qin said that Duke Wei summoned the old ministry because the natives harassed Treasure Island, so he asked the old ministry to help. As for this matter, Duke Wei did not want the court to be disturbed by this matter.

   "The prince is going to be sixty this year, isn't he?"

   "Well, fifty-nine, autumn is the year of sixty." Wang Boli sighed, stroked his beard, and was old with ups and downs all his life.

   "I heard that the eldest son of the prince is now working as a recorder in Xijing?"

Wang Boli couldn't help but look bitter. He is almost sixty and still works in the local area, but at least he is the governor of the governor's mansion. When he arrived at the governor of Songzhou, Songzhou was a large state in the Central Plains with a household registration of 90,000 and a population of nearly one million.

  If you have noble people to help, you can enter the court as Shangshu or Jiuqing or the Minister of the Three Provinces.

   Just compared to him, although he has several sons, none of them are promising. The eldest son is already thirty-five or sixteen years old, but now he is only a recorder of the ninth rank.

And the other few sons are not as good as each other. With the experience of studying in the Imperial College and his relationship, the few sons can barely find a job as an exile official, while the few sons simply don't know what to do. I can't get along with the outside world.

  Speaking of it, this is also the reason why there is no one in the court. For a top honored and favored minister like Qin Lang, even if he is adopted son, he is already a military envoy at a young age, a serious fifth-rank official. And someone like him with no background, although half his life was full of ups and downs, worked hard, and finally became the governor of Shangzhou, but he was demoted in a blink of an eye, and his son had no chance.

   "The dog is incompetent, has neither literary talent nor proficiency in riding and shooting, can't take the imperial examination, can't make military exploits, waste time, and only get one record."

  The steward smiled.

"I heard that the eldest son is generous. It's very good. Even Duke Wei has heard about it. If the eldest son is willing, Wei Gong can help. Arrange the eldest son to come to the south of the town and arrange a job from eight to nine. It's not difficult."

  Wang Polly was taken aback for a moment.

  Then Guanshi Qin continued, "Even if it is the other princes, if they are willing to come to Zhennan, they can be arranged."

"By the way, there was an accident on Treasure Island this time. We plan to go there and teach those natives a lesson. I don't know if the prince's concubines are willing to help together? Of course, it won't be a waste of time. , after the natives are exterminated and conquered, the land on the overseas desert islands can also be distributed for management..."

  Steward Qin simply revealed something.

  Wang Polly heard it, isn't this the same as the Qin family used to entrust knight retainers when they first came to Wu'an Mansion?

  Go overseas to conquer the natives, and then divide the land?

"Actually, the aristocrats and nobles in the court and the local gentry are powerful. Who doesn't operate some industries overseas, or mines, planting or slave hunting. Treasure Island was discovered by the Qin family, and there are gold mines there. , can also be planted, if you manage it carefully, the income should still be good."

   Manager Qin took out a piece of paper.

"This is a piece of land on the island over there. It's 3,000 mu. It's a very good piece of land. If you get some people there, a farm will grow up. It's not bad to have 10,000 grains of stone every year. Even if you leave out the expenses, etc., the income is not bad. Not a lot."

   Lao Wang hesitated and struggled.

   "Your Majesty, think about it?" Qin Guanshi stood up, "I will take my leave first."

   "Wait a minute." Old Wang finally called to Guanshi Qin who had already walked to the door.

   "What does Duke Wei need me to do?"

   "Actually, it's nothing. It's just that the prince's report to the court and the saint simply mentioned the matter of Treasure Island. A small matter is not worth wasting pen and ink to disturb the saint and the court. It will also be the same about Treasure Island in the future."

  Old Wang gritted his teeth.

   "Even if I don't report, but there are so many officials of the imperial court here, even hidden eyeliners, they will report."

   "You don't have to worry about this matter."

  Pharaoh nodded.

  Because of supporting the king of Wei, he was demoted several levels, from the third rank to the fifth rank. Now that Qin Lang came to win him over, if he refused, he was worried that he would not be able to make it through this long history.

   As for reporting this matter to the emperor, what can be said about this kind of matter is also groundless. Besides, who is Qin Lang?

  Old Wang is getting old, and there is no backer in the court. He used to rely on the prime minister Wang Gui in the court, but Wang Gui died long ago.

   He was relegated to Lingnan for supporting King Wei.

   "Treasure Island is just Wei Gong's small overseas business, who else is not like this, such a small matter is not worth disturbing the saint, right?"

  Old Wang immediately nodded, "Indeed."

Manager Qin said with a satisfied smile, "The eldest son's transfer order will be sent from the official department soon, and the other sons have a letter from Prince Lao to summon them. I hope you can act quickly. If it is too late, you will not be able to make it in time." .”

  Old Wang personally sent Steward Qin to the door.

  Officer Qin left Wang Changshi's door, and soon went to the next official's house.

  In the carriage, Qin Guanshi's son asked, "This man is just a relegated person, why do you have to win him over like this?"

"What do you know? Although an official like Wang Changshi really won't cause us any trouble, since he is the head of the Wu'an Governor's Mansion, why not share some benefits with them? One more friend , is better than one more enemy!"

   "It's too cheap for him, so much benefit for nothing."

   "Hahaha, you are still too young, and you only have such a pattern. Watch more, think more, and learn more!" Lao Qin taught his son.

  A relegated governor of Wu'an, Shi, actually doesn't have much power in Taiping Port, but the Qin family took the initiative to approach Wang Boli this time to save face, of course not because they were afraid of him.

   "Do you know why our Duke Wei can be so successful? Because Duke Wei is easy to make friends, and his friends are all over the government and the public, so when Duke Wei does things, there are more support and less opposition."

"One more thing, Duke Wei has always been generous. You see, our father and son were slaves of a commercial firm, but after we came to the Qin family, how did Duke Wei treat us? We work hard, Duke Wei not only allows us to eat and sleep well, He even gave us the freedom to redeem our lives, and later gave us dividends from the top of our bodies, we have served Wei Gong for more than ten years, and now we are worth thousands of dollars, how did you ever dare to think about it?"

"Let's talk about Treasure Island. Our father and I have never set foot on the island, but Wei Gong also gave us three thousand acres of land on the island, although we still have to hire people to cultivate and manage this land. But this is 3,000 mu of land, how can ordinary people be so generous?"

  Old Qin sighed, "What is a great event, what is generosity, this is it. Wei Gong does things, and that is what really convinces people."

  Xiao Qin said, "Grandfather, do you think our family is going to manage the 3,000 mu of land on Treasure Island? It's so far overseas, and now the natives are making trouble again."

Old Qin cursed with hatred, "You know what, don't just stare at the little thing in front of your nose, but have a long-term perspective. Wei Gong has spent so much time and effort to manage Treasure Island, how can you Is there something wrong? What we have to do is to follow Wei Gong closely, Wei Gong gave our father and father 3,000 mu of land on the island, so we have to manage it, and we have to manage it well and do our best to manage it.”

   "I can't get away from the errand here now, you take your brothers there."

   "It's still so chaotic over there now, why don't you go later?"

   "Bah, you've got all the good stuff? You son of a bitch, why did I give birth to such a thing as you?"

  Xiao Qin was drooling all over his face when he was scolded by Old Qin, and he didn't dare to say anything, so he could only say, "Then I'll go?"

   "In this life, you are only promising, and you will not be able to eat four dishes in this life!"
