Chapter 1175 1175: Why don’t you let me farm? (Part 2) [Asking for monthly tickets]
The government office was short of people, and Shen Tang also asked the Wang family to name her.
The latter somehow became a member of the public family.
After hearing the news, the parents of Li and Wang came over to inquire.
Shen Tang explained with a smile: "I think the two ladies are intelligent and talented in literature, so I want her to be a clerk in the government office. It's just some leisure work, and I won't let the two of them do it. Thousands of dollars are affected.”
The head of the Li family said: "The common people do not mean this. You think that your little girl is a blessing to her, but I am afraid that she is not suitable for being a female prostitute. I am worried that she has done something wrong and affected the government."
< br>The parents of the Wang family also had this worry at first, but when they heard the parents of the Li family belittle their daughter in this way, they immediately became unhappy.
He stared angrily: "What does it mean to be a prostitute? He is just a civil servant who writes, why is my son not suitable?"
The parents of the Li family did not expect to be torn down, and they almost Angry.
Is this old guy’s brain stuffed with shit?
Do you understand what it means to be courteous for nothing, and to be either an adulterer or a thief?
Under normal circumstances, it is normal for new officials to win over local wealthy households, but no one has ever taken the initiative to arrange public jobs for the children of wealthy households! Is this a sign of flattery, or is this just a drunkard's intention?
Although civil servants have no real power, they have joined the government after all!
Serve the public bowl and eat the public meal.
Such a good thing comes to your door without any effort?
I don’t even think about whether there is such a good thing in the world!
Hehehehe, there really is!
Not only did their daughter have a share, but so did they.
Shen Tang kept trying to persuade the parents of the Li family to rest assured, and even asked the two families to meet privately with the Wang queen. The words of Queen Wang were more effective than those of Shen Tang. Soon, the attitude of the two families changed drastically, and they no longer objected to Queen Wang becoming a civil servant in the government. The reason given by Wang's daughter-in-law is also realistic. She will have a son-in-law in the future, or two. If she was still a woman in the boudoir, how could she suppress her two sons-in-law and the eager relatives of her tribe after a hundred years of living with her two parents?
When I talk about fear, I can’t help but shed tears.
The two ladies held their daughters in distress and hugged each other, feeling aggrieved. The two fathers sighed again and again, and after summarizing, they had to admit that their daughters' worries were justified. After all, the son-in-law is a man, so they don’t know what a man is like?
It’s good that the son-in-law has a conscience, as long as he is obedient and eats soft rice.
What if the son-in-law is a treacherous person?
The old ones pretended to be human beings when they were alive. They kicked off their legs and revealed their true faces?
The adopted son-in-law who is too cowardly cannot protect his daughter, and the adopted son-in-law who is too capable can easily harm their daughter. There are also a group of relatives coveting the daughter, so the daughter is in too much danger. Finding two sons-in-law to check and balance each other may not be effective. If a daughter can suppress others...
The two fathers looked at each other.
Acquiesced to this matter.
At the same time, it also acquiesced to Shen Tang's calculation.
He is not a good person, so he must have some agenda.
Actually, Shen Tang doesn't have many plans. If things go well, both families will benefit. She looked at the parents of the two families who had joined forces and greeted the parents of the Li family with a smile: "Your great kindness to my little girl will be unforgettable by ordinary people. If you have anything to do, please give me your instructions."
The head of the Wang family looked at him blankly.
This rhythm is wrong. Why don’t you try it out first?
Shen Tang smiled gently and harmlessly, and said confidently: "There is no need to send anything. I just want to benefit the common people and let them live and work in peace and contentment."
The parents of the Li family asked: "I wonder what your plans are?"
Shen Tang's smile faded and he sighed deeply.
"To be honest with you two, I came from the royal capital with my retainers to avoid the fight. The troubles above are getting bigger and bigger. I'm watching with cold eyes. I'm afraid the situation is not going well." She said. To be honest with the two of them, the two of them heard each other loudly. They did have some savings, but the little money they invested in the warlord struggle could not even make a sound.
Isn’t the other party trying to stop them from borrowing money or food?
It’s called borrowing, but in reality it’s robbery.
Just as the two of them were sweating secretly, Shen Tang's words exceeded their expectations - Shen Tang didn't want their food or their money, he just wanted to borrow the connections between the two families and use them to make money. use. She has a connection in the northwest area, where the two companies can go there to explore new markets, and the profits can be 50-50.
“Northwestern Kang Country?”
Shen Tang nodded: "Yes."
"The two places are so far apart, and there are so many dangers in doing business along the way. Even if the profits are considerable, the risks are also great."
The parents of the Wang family are more concerned. Business content.
"Can I take the liberty to ask, what is the way?"
Shen Tang smiled and said: "It's just salt, food, cloth and silk."
Qi State is not a big country in the central continent. Due to its geographical location, it can only produce a small amount of pond salt within its territory and relies on imports for most of it. In addition to official imports, the state even encourages merchants to purchase salt from various countries, and control over this area is lax.
The problem is that other countries also lack salt.
It is not easy to establish a stable channel for purchasing salt.
If it can be done, the profits will be very considerable.
The parents of the two families almost stared out of their eyes and breathed quickly: "Are you telling the truth? There is indeed a lot of salt in Kangguo in the northwest, but Kangguo has strict management, and there is no way to get it. How many come... Look, how many avenues do you have?”
Shen Tang waved to the two of them.
The two of them approached cautiously.
She lowered her voice and said: "Sinong Shaoqing of Kang State is a relative of my family, and the Salt Pond Supervisor under him is her confidant. It is not difficult to get some salt blocks. The salt of Kang State in the northwest is famous for its good quality. Even the people in the capital are not as good as salt.”
Sinong Shaoqing is Shen Zhi.
Given that she is highly capable and the responsibilities of Sinong Temple overlap with those of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Shen Zhi, a young minister, does not have much work pressure and her false reputation outweighs her real power. However, the outside world does not know these inside stories, so there is no problem in deceiving the two of them.
The parents of the two families said in unison: "Seriously?"
Shen Tang: "How can this be false? If you don't believe it, I can write a handwritten letter and you can have someone verify the authenticity and you will know. But if you have concerns and refuse to agree, I won’t force you, just find someone later.”
The parents of the Li family stopped Shen Tang from continuing.
Cold sweat broke out: "The common people naturally believe you."
So, don't ask anyone else about this matter first.
The two found an excuse to leave and went back to discuss it carefully.
Shen Tang is not afraid of their investigation.
It’s strange that her handwritten letter cannot be mixed with refined salt.
Shen Tang was planning the way to go next step by step in his mind, and Gu Deqiu's voice came from outside the house: "Is everything done?"
Gu De said: "The people have almost gathered together. ”
If you want to strengthen your power, you need to recruit troops. Shen Tang relied on the ranger groups he conquered along the way to raid bandit dens everywhere, and barely had a private army. These people are easy to get, but not easy to raise. Not only must we support them, we must also continue to recruit people. Shen Tang could only find a way to get some money from other places, create jobs and settle these soldiers.
Otherwise, if the news leaks out, it will be wiped out before it can develop.
Shen Tang must find a way to hide these people.
It is very suitable to do business with these two companies.
With these people in their name, the outside world will not suspect it, and the two families will not risk their lives to expose themselves. It is a great deal.
Their only daughter is in their hands. Shen Tang said: "That's good."
Strive to get five thousand soldiers and horses within a year.
With five thousand soldiers and horses, it would be easy to turn around and take advantage of the chaos to annex the territory next door. The patron saint of Qi State, the 20th grade Chehou Hou, has passed away. No matter how tight the royal family is, there is no airtight wall in the world. When this thunder explodes, Qiguo will be destroyed!
Shen Tang is waiting for an opportunity now.
"Yourong, do you want to go and have a look?"
Gu De didn't understand for a moment: "What are you looking at?"
Shen Tang said, "Look at me."
She I am really not bald, let alone bald.
Hey, it takes time to make a wig realistic, so her wig is still in the production stage. I didn’t want others to point fingers at my baldness, so I just shaved my head. Not to mention, the bald head is cool. The shortcoming is probably that it is too hot and the scalp will be a little hot. Shen Tang's proposal was rejected by Gu De.
He said: "I'm afraid I won't be free."
Shen Tang asked: "So busy?"
I haven't seen Gu De much in recent days.
"Busily contacting my former classmates to see if I can find some people to come over." Since knowing the true identity of the Lord, Gu De was a little worried. The stage of starting from scratch is undoubtedly the best time to cultivate feelings and consolidate interests. The person in front of him is already the overlord of the northwest. The advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also obvious to all - no matter how hard he and Zikuan catch up, it will not be easy to gain a foothold.
For the current plan, we can only contact more classmates.
Try to produce some results in the shortest possible time.
In the future, when the two parties merge, our own side will not be left alone.
Gu De did not express these thoughts clearly, but Xia Houyu understood them and acquiesced in his actions. Shen Tang saw through it without saying anything: "So you are a student of Quqing Academy? Will you be willing to come?"
Gu Dedao: "My lord, please don't belittle yourself."
Not to mention Kang Guo's character. With his strength, even the current vest is as big as a local official. With a stable place to stay, it is not difficult to recruit a few classmates from civilian backgrounds. Gu De went to inquire about the situation in Kangguo privately. The appointment of officials was very different from other regions, which was fatal to students who were restricted by their background. Coupled with Gu De's endorsement, recruiting people is easy.
Of course, Gu De didn't reveal Shen Tang's true identity. He just told his classmates that she didn't know her background and drew a picture for them of "five thousand soldiers under the tent". Gu De's eyebrows relaxed and he said with a smile: "Nine people have replied so far."
Except for two who said it was too far away to serve their parents, the others said they wanted to come and check out Shen Tang Zai decided whether to stay or not. Counting the time, replies from other people should be on the way. After hearing this, Shen Tang was stunned: "So many?"
Gu De didn't understand: "How many?"
That's only a few people.
Shen Tang raised his forehead and said: "I didn't get this kind of treatment before."
Qi Shan also sent a group message to his circle of friends, but a revenge-seeking Liao Jia appeared, and everyone else ignored him. A typical example is He Shu. He Shu disliked Qishan's lord as a short-lived ghost.
If He Shu had come back then and brought a congratulatory letter, where would there have been the battle at Shangnan County? Shen Tang was able to knock Wu Xian's brains out earlier. Because of praying for kindness, Shen Tang always thought that it would be difficult to win over others.
Shen Tang spoke vaguely, and Gu De drew conclusions based on the context.
“It seems that the colleague is not very popular.”
He is still writing the letter. If Zi Kuan, who is more popular, also comes forward, he is at least 80% sure that he can be If you call, even people who already have a stable place to go will be willing to come and give it a try. Gu De didn't do this, he just didn't want Shen Tang to misunderstand.
It is not good to have too many people from Quqing Academy.
It is easy for the Lord to create a sense of urgency to isolate her.
Shen Tang: "...Ahem, Yuan Liang's popularity..."
In a sense -
Having so many enemies is considered a good popularity. .
Shen Tang thought she had a deep understanding of "good popularity" until she saw someone dragging their family and family across two countries to join Gu De and Xia Houyu, and she was instantly dumbfounded. Listening to the self-introduction, this dear friend was originally a county magistrate!
No, do all your classmates play like this?
What’s even more shocking is that this person was not called by Gu De.
Yes, it wasn’t Gu De who came here by swaying others.
To be precise, one of the people who had to serve his parents felt guilty, so he wrote a letter to a good friend and strongly persuaded him to give it a try. My good friend hesitated for two days after receiving the letter, packed up his belongings, took care of his family, and came all the way.
When he came, he complained that Gu De was not interesting enough.
Why do you only write to others and not to yourself?
Gu De was helpless: "You have finally settled down, but we can't let you leave your homeland and go to a place you are not familiar with."
My good friend pretended to be angry: "I'll see you soon. "Outside."
When he saw Xia Houyu, he was smiling one second, and then his face was heavy the next. It is no secret that Xia Houyu was punished by breaking the palace, but now he has a literary monogram again, and the literary spirit is lingering around him, which is intriguing: "Zikuan, you——"
Xia Houyu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more.
My good friend also understood, looked around and said: "Where is our new master? Quick, introduce me to him."
Xia Houyu said: "This is it."< br>
A good friend looked down and saw a bald head.
The bald man raised his head, revealing a face that was obviously that of a woman.
Good friend: "..."
Is it too late for him to regret going back and becoming a county magistrate?
It’s impossible for Xiahou Zikuan and Gu Yourong to play with themselves, right?
The students of Quqing Academy are probably sweet potatoes. When you shovel them down, a bunch of them will pop up. The configuration is also balanced in civil and military affairs. Not only are there people with families, there are even people with a private tribe of No. 100, who can be considered a wealthy man in a small place. They are willing to come because of the face of Gu De and Xia Houyu. If Shen Tang cannot convince them, he will leave anyway.
Shen Tang is very confident about this.
However, she needs to examine these people first.
These people are also inspecting Shen Tang.
The mutual investigation between the two parties has not yet yielded results, but the appearance of a book has caused thousands of waves. There was a young man dressed in literature and history holding up a book in a dragon scale suit: "Come and see what I got!"
Shen Tang looked up and saw something familiar.
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
Isn't this the biography of famous ministers and celebrities that Kang Guo just put on sale in the first ten days of this month? How long has it been since then, and it has already spread to Qi State?
In this era where tablets are the main force, pure paper books are still relatively rare, let alone luxuriously bound books with dragon scales. Few people present have seen them. Everyone was attracted, and Xia Houyu was stunned when he opened the page and saw the home page.
Some people were shocked and murmured: "What kind of counter-argument is this?"
[Princes, generals and ministers would rather have the guts! 】
The name signed in the preface is Kang Guo Shen Tang.
Others don't know Shen Tang's true identity yet, but Xia Houyu and Gu De do. After seeing the signature, the two of them looked at the Lord outside the crowd in tacit understanding. The latter smiled and waved, indicating that the two of them should continue reading and get to know their colleagues who had never met before.

The plot of the horse-catching plot between the Wang and Li families in the previous picture was adapted from an ancient novel, so Tangmei told Queen Wang what she had read. It was probably written by her own family.
