After having a delicate meal, Chu Ci and Zhang Wenhai said goodbye to Zhao Kuan. After they left the restaurant, they saw Zhang Hu leaning on the carriage, staring at the old man who was painting the candy man beside him.

happy.

Seeing the two of them coming, he immediately jumped out of the car, took out his footstool and asked them to get on the carriage.

"Dahu, have you eaten it?" Chu Ci gave Zhang Hu some silver and asked him to order a few dishes nearby.

Zhang Hu nodded: "I ate, but lord, I didn't buy it myself. It was taken out by the people in the building for me. The dishes inside were so delicious!" He smiled silly, with only a few words on his face.

I was happy to have something delicious, and I didn't understand the complexity inside it at all.

Chu Ci didn't say anything about him, after all, he had eaten everything, but he still educated Zhang Hu seriously to not eat what strangers gave him. After Zhang Hu nodded obediently, Chu Ci felt relieved. This cannot be blamed on Big Hu.

, which only shows that Zhao Kuan has superb methods to win people's hearts. Even a seemingly inconspicuous groom needs to give favors. Unfortunately, he met Zhang Hu. He always just ate, but the benefits are remembered.

It's his master.

After the two got on the carriage, the horse ran away. The Jixiang Tower was a distance from the Tixue Department, and time on the road was wasted. Chu Ci decided to take out the conditions given by Zhao Kuan.

At first glance, if the conditions could be met, he would go to the prefect. Although the prefect was ambiguous about him, he did not dare to lose his links in such major issues of people's livelihood.

The light in the carriage was a little dim. Zhang Wenhai lifted the curtain on one side and hung it aside. Only through the afterglow of the sunset could he see the content on the paper clearly.

It was amazing to see this. Zhang Wenhai was very angry after reading the first one. He said angrily: "This request is too much, right? He might as well grab it!"

Chu Ci comforted him, "Wenhai, don't be impatient. We might as well continue to look down."

When Zhang Wenhai saw it, he felt ashamed. Brother Chu was so unsuspecting to be a scholar, and he was too inappropriate. Thinking of this, he continued to read it down with patience.

However, the terms behind him were not good. The more he looked at him, the more angry he became, and his eyes became wider. Just as the attack occurred, Chu Ci said to him: "Okay, you can be angry now."

Zhang Wenhai, who was originally as angry as a puffer fish, was so amused and crying after hearing this. His whole body was as if he had been poked by a needle and disappeared for no reason.

He said, "Brother Chu, this old man Zhao Kuan is too bullying! We should not agree to his request, and the Yurongwan business will not cooperate with him!"

Chu Ci smiled and said, "Then you have talked with him for so many days, isn't you a waste of time?"

"If you waste some time to see his true face, it's okay. Look at the requirements he wrote, the first thing is that once the wharf is built, the government must exempt all his shops in Zhangzhou Prefecture from taxes for three years. The court said that

The taxation area is strictly controlled, and there are so many shops like him. If all the state governments that invested in the construction of the wharf were exempted from taxes, wouldn’t he have taken advantage of the court?” Zhang Wenhai was like those

Like scholars who have never been involved in the officialdom, they still feel black and white. They immediately showed full disagreement with Zhao Kuan's behavior of "pulling socialist wool".

Of course, Chu Ci's idea was similar to his, but he was not so angry. And he analyzed that if this condition was presented to the prefect's desk, he would have a ten-th chance of agreeing.

Why? The reason is very simple.

First of all, the dock is a bright political achievement. The prefect's term of office is three years. Prefect Lu has been in Zhangzhou Prefecture for two years. Being able to give him such a great gift that is beneficial to the people's livelihood during his term is equivalent to an promotion.

Now that he is in front of him, can he not be moved?

Secondly, after the wharf is built, it will bring about a leapfrog economic development. At that time, the exemption of taxes can be recovered from these new merchants. If the two are offset, the number will not be much different. As for the new wharf effect

What should I do after cooling down? Let the next prefect worry.

Zhang Wenhai was a little anxious when he saw Chu Ci not speaking. He said, "Brother Chu, his requests below are also very rude. For example, all the Yurong Pills must be sold to him. Except for the government's own use, no one is allowed to be sold.

.How can small merchants who sell goods by price difference in Zhangzhou Prefecture survive? Also, he only paid one-third of the money for building a wharf, and the rest must be funded by the government or donated locally.

First of all, he won’t tell you that he will have all the benefits, but he will also have a good reputation. Why don’t he say that he only suggests that we will do the rest?"

Chu Ci understood his resentment towards Zhao Kuan from Zhang Wenhai's constant complaints. If he continued, he might explode. Chu Ci interrupted him in time and asked, "Wenhai, you have just watched it for so long. Really

Didn't you find anything?"

Zhang Wenhai looked puzzled and took out the pieces of paper and looked at it. When he looked at it for the third time, he suddenly looked surprised, as if he had discovered something.

Chu Ci said: "It seems you have discovered it too. Zhao Kuan had already ordered someone to draft this contract long before we arrived. It was obvious that what you had discussed with him before was Yurongwan's business."

"This old fox, he has calculated everything we want to say!" Zhang Wenhai was shocked and angry, and when he thought of Zhao Kuan's harmless appearance, he was a little chilled.

"Yes, he expected that I would go to the appointment, and he expected what I might say, and even what we are now reacting." Chu Ci pulled the corners of his mouth, and it seemed that Zhao Kuan was indeed not simple.

"Brother Chu, let's not cooperate with him anymore. Yurongwan's business is so easy to do, it's the same for everyone to sell it!" Zhang Wenhai didn't want him to be proud.

"Oh, I'm afraid I have to cooperate now." Chu Ci chuckled, but his eyes were as cold as Ice, without a trace of smile.

"Why?"

"The reason why he made us discover his scheming was just to make us afraid. If we disagree, I am afraid that this contract will be presented directly to the prefect's desk. At that time, Prefect Lu will definitely agree.

We were passive when he asked."

Zhang Wenhai still didn't understand. Even if Magistrate Lu could agree to build a dock and tax exemption, he would not be able to interfere in their business.

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Chu Ci explained kindly: "The Yurong Pill business is clearly handed over to your Zhang family's people, but in fact, neither the ingredients nor the operation can escape the Tixue Department.

Relationship. We all know that the Tsai Academy only cares about local academic affairs, does not involve people's livelihood government affairs and criminal prisons, and cannot do business. The reason why the Prime Minister Lu did not impeach me was just that I promised him to Tsai Academy every year.

Financial appropriations can be reduced by 30%, and the extra money will be controlled by the government."

"This is an exchange of interests, and the subtle rifts between me and him are insignificant in the face of money. But if there is a better choice, the prefect Lu will definitely break up and impeach me, the academic department is not doing its job properly, and fight with the people.

Profit, at that time, do we still have the opportunity to intervene in the Yurong Pill business? There is not enough silver to support the food and clothing of the masters under Zhangzhou Prefecture, and they will definitely charge students high tuition fees and cannot afford the tuition fees.

Students will inevitably drop out of school. In this way, the academic style of Zhangzhou Prefecture will be regressed, and my few months will be wasted."

"You think, can anyone easily play a school official who has no political achievements and no background?" Chu Ci smiled self-deprecatingly. He really thought about the officialdom too simply.

Zhang Wenhai called out "Brother Chu" in a daze, and he could no longer speak. The officialdom he imagined should be the kind of people who are honest and upright, and ask for their fate, rather than the dangers and intrigues everywhere.

yes. If you face such a scene after becoming an official, what's the point of becoming an official?

Seeing that Zhang Wenhai was about to doubt his life, Chu Ci woke him up in time.

"The world is dark, so what if the officialdom is difficult? As long as you have righteousness, you will definitely defeat them. Have you forgotten? Did you set the ambitions we set when we were studying in the county school together? We agreed to watch over and help each other and support each other.

Yes, I'm waiting for you to help me with this long official journey!"

Zhang Wenhai's chest was shaking, and he remembered the oath made by a group of energetic young people to the cool moonlight. Now, whether it is Chu Ci, who is in the officialdom, Fang Jinyang, Chen Zifang and others who are studying hard at home, they all

If you don’t retreat, why do you feel afraid and be in a corner?

Looking at Zhang Wenhai's eyes gradually brightening, Chu Ci breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't be scared by the old fox so easily.

Because they couldn't calm down, after returning to the Tixue Department, they put on a drink again and drank happily. It was not until the gong was beaten at the third hour that they went back to their rooms.

The next morning, Chu Ci was awakened by Zhang Hu's knocking on the door. He rubbed Hangover's forehead and looked at the scattered rice paper in the room and the various "second-second" declarations on it, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed. It seemed that he

I was also stimulated yesterday. He hasn't done such a thing in a long time.

He put on his clothes and frowned. When Chang Xiao heard this, he immediately went to help him fetch water. Fu Mingan, who was originally squatting in the yard, also stopped, trotted to the kitchen, and took out a bowl.

Sobering soup.

Chu Ci Laohuai comforted him. With these caring people and good teachers and friends from afar, what else should he be afraid of?!

After drinking sobering soup and having breakfast, Chu Ci went to Qianya with great energy and wrote down his name on the sign-in board.

"Sir, are you so early today?" The concierge was already familiar with Chu Ci's character and knew that he was approachable, so he had to talk to him every day.

"Yes, I'm used to it." Chu Ci smiled and said, "By the way, I was not in the government office yesterday, nothing happened, right?"

The concierge looked around and saw no one, then lowered his voice and said, "No, the adults are very obedient now. I think they are scared by you."

Chu Ci laughed, then deliberately said with a stern face: "What is this saying? It is obvious that everyone in our school department loves his job and is dedicated to his work without supervision."

Although the concierge didn't quite understand what Chu Ci meant, he knew that he was joking and couldn't help but laugh.

With such a thing interrupted, Chu Ci felt more peaceful. Right and injustice are in the hearts of the people. Even a gatekeeper knew that the previous behavior of the Tixuesi people was not good, let alone other people.

When he arrived at his office, Chu Ci first dealt with the official business piled up on the table, and then took out the pieces of paper from yesterday.

He only read it roughly twice yesterday, and today he must read it carefully. He believed that there must be a misunderstanding of the secrets, and maybe there will be some loopholes in it, so he didn't believe it. These people in ancient times regard the terms of business,

Can you compare to modern lawyers?
