Chapter 32 Pig Kidney Silver

"Li Jing hasn't asked the man's name Gao yet?" Li Jing asked with his fists. He was a little curious about the man's identity.

"I don't have the surname Feng, Feng Liang, and the name is Mingguang." The man in green also bowed with fists, but after that, he said casually: "It's the Feng family of Bohai. Brother Ji Yu must have heard of it. The governor of the governor is the uncle of the family."

At this time, Li Jing could not see that Feng Liang's words were just intentional. He smiled and said, "Qinghe Cui Family, Bohai Feng Family, Changli Han Family, these are the three largest aristocratic families in our states, Pinglu Prefectures in Ziqing. The disciples are all over the court and the prime ministers for many generations, and they are famous families in the world. How could Li Jing not know? He has heard of them for a long time and has heard them for a long time. It turns out that Brother Feng is actually Feng Family in Bohai. I am so rude that I am so rude just now. Please forgive me."

"Hey, there is no need to be polite. Don't think that my brother is deliberately showing off his life experience. In fact, I don't want to tell them ordinary people. Now that I have joined the Sect of Cui Envoy, the Cui Feng tribes are family friends. From now on, we two will be a family, so we have to walk around and get closer." Feng Liang said very politely.

After a few words, Feng Liang's essence was fully exposed, and Li Jing could almost see this person clearly. Such a person is the legendary playboy. He must have come to get him when he saw Cui Yunqing accept him as his disciple. Of course, Feng Liang must not really want to make friends with him. His real intention was just to get close to Cui Yunqing.

I suddenly felt contempt for Feng Liang and didn't want to say anything more to him. But since I knew that Feng Liang was the nephew of the governor, Li Jing could not offend him or her, so I had to speak with Feng Liang without saying a word while parading along the street.

Along the way, Li Jing has heard Wang Chong and Zhang Hong introduce some things in the prefectures and counties, including introductions to some major officials in the prefectures and counties. This is naturally an impression of Feng Liang's uncle Li Jing.

Feng Liang's uncle Feng Yanqing, a direct descendant of the Feng family in Bohai, passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom in his early years. He is just over 40 years old, but he has been in Dengzhou for five years.

There are many chief historians of the Tang Dynasty, but there are four categories in total. They are the chief historians of the royal palace, the chief historian of the military palace, and the chief historians of the various prefectures. The chief historians of each position are very important positions, and the governor historians were also the same at the beginning. They belonged to one of the three ministers of the prefecture and had great authority.

However, in the late Tang Dynasty, not only the chief ministers, but also the assistant officials of the other two states gradually had no real power. In particular, the Bianjia had long become a full-time position specially used by the imperial court to accommodate those remote and derogatory members of the royal family. Sima also became a position specially used by the imperial court to derogate the officials of the capital. During the reign of Emperor Shunzong of Tang, more than a dozen ministers who presided over the reform were forced to abdicate by eunuchs less than 200 days after Shunzong became emperor, they were all demoted. Among them, the eight most famous people were demoted from the court and all demoted to the post of Sima of the prefecture, known in history as the Two Tyrants and Eight Simas.

The three ministers assisted the officials, and the other party specially arranged for the royal family, and Sima specially arranged for officials to demote the dysfunction. The chief minister was a little better, but he gradually had no real power.

However, there is a special thing that is that if the governor is taken from a distance by the prince or the governor is seriously ill and is absent, the provincial affairs will be temporarily replaced by the superiors. Due to the particularity of the other lords and Sima, the chiefs are often temporarily replaced by the governor. After he took office as the governor, the chiefs have always been acting as chiefs in Dengzhou. He originally thought that the court would arrange for him to take over the position of governor, but he did not expect that the court would transfer Cui Yunqing to take over as governor in the end.

It is precisely because of this that when Zhang Hong and others introduced the affairs of the state to Li Jing, they emphasized that there have been rumors in the market that the governor Cui and Feng Changshi were in disagreement. It is said that Feng Changshi once wanted to introduce his nephew to the governor Cui as a student, but after saying it a few times, Cui refused, which made Feng Changshi very angry. It is said that Feng Changshi has relied on his five years of operation in Dengzhou and has been secretly fighting with the new Cui Jun, intending to squeeze him away or undermine him.

Just now, he was already prepared for Feng Liang's self-introduction. It was obvious that Feng Changshi and Cui Shi were in disagreement, but Feng Liang came so enthusiastically to get close to his new disciple, Cui Shi Shi, and how difficult it is to look at this matter no matter how you look at it.

Wendeng's united troops traveled along the north and south main roads, and then along the east and west main roads. It was already dusk. Cui Yunqing, the governor of Dengzhou, also the regiment training envoy, ordered Wendeng's united troops to enter the military camp in the south of the city to give a banquet.

However, he did not follow the team of people, but instead gathered Li Jing and the eleven people, as well as the officers of the Grand Alliance Camp, and arranged for a banquet at the Wangxian Tower, the best restaurant in the east of the city.

Wangxian Tower is very luxurious. It is actually a five-story pavilion. Sitting on a pavilion that is more than ten feet high, you can see the entire Penglai City, and even the blue sea and sky in the north can be embraced.

The entire Wangxian Tower was now enclosed, and the hall at the bottom was a place for small officers at the top. Then, each level was used by officers at the higher level. At the top, there were only governor Cui, Feng Changshi, the current emperor's eight emperors, Dengzhou Biejia, Zhaowang Li Shi, and the prefecture Sima Yuqi, as well as officials from the sixth-rank official in Dengzhou, from the seventh-rank official in military affairs, from the ninth-rank official in addition to the Sigong, Sihu, Sihu, Sijian, Judicial, and Sishi Sixth-rank official in military affairs, all from the seventh-rank official in military affairs, and there were low-level officials such as the Shiling, Cheng, Literature, and Medical Science. In addition, the officers of the Zhizhou soldiers, the Zhenzhu envoys of Longshan Camp and Dongmu Shouzha, the guard and capture envoys, etc., nearly a hundred people gathered on the top floor to exchange cups.

Among these people, Cui Shishi was naturally the highest commander. He took Li Jing to visit various officials one by one as a division commander. Among this large group of officials, Li Jing was deeply impressed by the three upper assistants from Dengzhou.

Li Yan is the eighth son of Emperor Xuanzong and the eighth uncle of the current emperor. He had been a short-lived leader of the Emperor's army. Last year, Emperor Yizong was seriously ill and Li Yan, who had been staying in the capital, was transferred out of the capital to serve as the leader of the Dengzhou. When Li Jing met him, he carefully looked at the eighth uncle. He was only in his early thirties, but he was well maintained and strong. He did not have the same chronic poisoning and sluggishness since the late Tang Dynasty. Moreover, although he didn't talk much, Li Jing could see the sharpness in his eyes. This was a dormant, but he was not willing to be mediocre.

Li Feng took off one of his jade pendants and gave them to Li Jing as a gift, which made Li Jing look at him higher. He was in the throne, but he could still treat him like this. This person was indeed not simple.

Feng Yanqing and Li Feng are very different. Li Feng gives Li Jing the feeling that it is like a deep pool, with green oil but can't see the bottom. It doesn't know its depth, but it's very calm and gentle. The feeling that Feng Yanqing gives him is a feeling of tax and profit coming to his face, full of aggressiveness. Especially his eyes, looking at Li Jing's face, as if it was about to pierce into his mind and search for his thoughts.

Feng Yanqing also gave Li Jing a gift, but it was two silver tins of fifty taels each. These two silver tins were shaped like a pig's kidney, which some people called pig's waist silver. The Tang Dynasty did not use gold and silver for circulation, and silver tins were basically used as tribute or rewards. At this time, the exchange rate of gold and silver was one to five, and one tael of gold was worth 10 pieces of silk, and 10 pieces of silk was worth 8,000 coins. After conversion, one tael of silver could be exchanged for 1,600 coins or two pieces of silk.

Feng Yanqing gave Li Jing two silver stolen pots at once, totaling one hundred taels, which is equivalent to 200 pieces of silk or 160,000 yuan. This is a heavy gift, and it can be called a money to smash people. In fact, 100 taels of silver weigh nearly seven kilograms, and it is more than enough to smash people.

Like his money, Feng Yanqing was a little arrogant when he spoke, as if Li Jing would obey him from now on when two pork waists were gone. Li Jing smiled and agreed to him, but he had already drawn a boundary with him in his heart. Not to mention that Feng Yanqing was originally incompatible with Cui Yunqing, even if he didn't have that relationship, Li Jing would definitely not be willing to work hard for such a person who looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
