"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."

Wu Liang said with a smile.

Wang Qing also quickly skipped this topic and changed his mind and said: "I just heard that my dear brother has settled in Chenliu? This is a good thing. My dear brother and I hit it off immediately, so I have to give you a small gift no matter what, to congratulate my dear brother on his move.

That’s it.”

"Wang Duyou doesn't have to be so polite. I haven't come to visit you at home yet. How can I let Chen Duyou spend money first?"

Wu Liang pretended to be polite.

"Well, let's not talk about this between you and me. Since my dear brother wants to settle in Chenliu, there will be many opportunities for courtesy exchanges in the future. And now that my dear brother has just arrived, it is the time for me to express my friendship as a landlord."

Wang Qing waved his hand and said quite generously, "When my dear brother leaves later, I will personally bring some people to give you a small gift, and I will also be able to recognize my dear brother's family."

"How does this make... then thank you very much, Governor Wang."

Wu Liang declined a little, then accepted it happily.

In this way, the two of them drank and chatted for a while. Under the guidance of Wu Liang, most of the topics revolved around the noble families in Chenliu County. Finally, they had a preliminary understanding of the distribution of power in Chenliu County.

Today, there are four powerful clans in Chenliu County:

They are the Zhang family where "Zhang Miao", the prefect of Chenliu, lives, the Xu family where "Xu Si" (si four tones), a middle lieutenant, lives, the Wang family where another "Wang Kai", a middle lieutenant, lives, and the current one who has resigned and is idle.

The Zhu family is still quite influential in the county.

As for the Wang family where Wang Qing lives, although they have the same surname as the Wang family of "Wang Kai", they are not the same family.

From Wang Qing's own evaluation, it can be inferred that the Wang family that Wang Qing belongs to can only be regarded as a second-rate family in Chenliu County at best. Although they live a pretty good life, they basically only have the qualification to "second-rate" no matter what they do.

"Three Kingdoms" mentioned that when Zhang Miao rebelled against Cao Cao, both Xu Si and Wang Kai participated.

"In other words, Zhang Miao's rebellion against Cao Cao was not an act of an individual or a family. The Xu family and the Wang family in Chenliu County are also in the same camp. Only the Zhu family is hard to say. However, among the four clans with the right to speak, the one who is sure to rebel will be

There are three, which is more than half, which is no different from the centrifugal force among the upper echelons of Chenliu County."

Wu Liang already felt some pressure.

Only dealing with one Zhang Miao and one Zhang family may still be possible, but if the Xu family, Wang family, and even the Zhu family all participate, then his opponent will become the entire Chen Liu, and he will implement the plan.

The difficulty is naturally different.

It seems that this matter must be considered in the long term...

After understanding these circumstances, Wu Liang's goal had been achieved, and naturally there was no need to continue chatting with Wang Qing. After a few polite words, he said goodbye.

"I will send you to my dear brother."

Wang Qing quickly stood up and gave him three high-fives.

Not long after, there were more than a dozen servants carrying burdens and pushing carts gathered outside the hall. Looking around, they mainly saw some grain and cloth, as well as some relatively exquisite-looking household appliances.

In this era, this is all that can be given as a gift. If something is better, you can only give jade and gold.

However, in Wang Qing's mind, Wu Liang was obviously not at the level where he needed to give gold and jade, otherwise he would have replaced the gift of cloth with Shu brocade, which is now the most intuitive luxury product that can show his status.

This is indeed the case. Although Wang Qing repeatedly said it was a "gift", deep down in his heart, it was still a "reward".

However, Wu Liang didn't care about this, he only regarded it as a reward for "killing the evil dragon", and said with "sincerity and fear": "How dare you trouble the king's governor? How do I deal with this... let them send it to me.

That’s it.”

"Let's go, my dear brother, why should we care about this between you and me?"

…

Arrive at Wu Liang's house.

After Wang Qing directed his servants to carry all the supplies into the warehouse, he still had no intention of leaving. Instead, he said to Wu Liang with a mysterious face: "Xian brother, in addition to these common things, I have also prepared some for you.

Please try the real good stuff, dear brother."

"What good stuff?"

This confused Wu Liang, and he couldn't help but ask curiously.

"You'll know when it's delivered later. It should be here soon."

Wang Qing smiled so hard that his eyes turned into slits.

This thing is Wang Qing's real trump card. He is confident that as long as he gives this thing, although it may not have the same effect as marrying off the little girl, it will be enough to make Wu Liang see his sincerity.

After all, people with Wu Liang's status simply couldn't buy this thing. It was a special supply for the noble families in the city.

In this way, Wu Liang will be grateful to him, and the relationship between the two will advance by leaps and bounds.

at this time.

"Uu——!"

A carriage stopped outside the gate.

"arrive!"

Wang Qing cheered up, stood up and said hello, "Bring it in quickly, dear brother, where is the kitchen in your house? I will ask someone to carry it in for you first, and you will know at a glance."

"there."

Wu Liang pointed to the house on the east side of the second courtyard.

"Bring it in and follow me over here."

Wang Qing nodded, and then directed several servants to carry the two heavy sacks delivered by the carriage and walk towards the inner courtyard.

Wu Liang followed behind, still puzzled in his mind. What kind of good thing is so mysterious, and it is not sent to the warehouse, but to the kitchen. Could it be some rare delicacy?

As a result, just after entering, before Wu Liang had time to decipher the secret, Wang Qing was the first to be attracted by a pottery basin next to the stove.

To be precise, what caught Wang Qing's attention was actually what was contained in the pottery basin.

It was a crystal white powder, which looked particularly eye-catching in the darker kitchen. Even the ground pearl powder was not so pure, let alone so crystal clear.

Although Wang Qing did not cook, he had been in his own room, but he had never seen anything so pure in the kitchen (flour was still relatively rare at this time, and even if it was available, it was ground with wheat husks, not pure white).

"What is this?"

Wang Qing came closer and asked curiously.

"No touching!"

The next second, Tong Yan, who was in charge of the food in the house, had already rushed up. He opened his arms to block Wang Qing, while glaring and yelling, "This is the snowflake salt cooked by the owner of my family. You can't afford to pay for it if it's dirty."

, back off, back off!”

"Snowflake salt?"

Wang Qing was stunned and turned to look at Wu Liang in surprise.

"Yan'er, it's okay, let him take a look."

Wu Liang smiled indifferently.

"Yes, little master."

Tong Yan reluctantly stepped aside.

At this moment, Wang Qing had a look of surprise on his face. He was not thinking of the little girl's offense. He quickly came closer, reached out and picked out a little bit of snowflake salt with the nail of his little finger, and then stuck out his tongue to taste it.

!!!

At this moment, Wang Qing was stunned as if he was frightened, and there was an unbelievable color in his eyes.

at the same time.

"Little master, are we going to put these two bags of refined salt here?"

A rather dull servant asked inappropriately.

"Wait!"
Chapter completed!
