The moonlight was like water, illuminating the entire courtyard. He successfully stood in the middle of the courtyard with his hands on his back, looking up at the disk-like bright moon in the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

He now lives in the Western Regions Protectorate Mansion.

Xue Ping packed up his salute very early. When he successfully arrived here, it meant that his position as the Western Regions Protectorate was terminated. He naturally had to move out of the Western Regions Protectorate and give it to his new master.

Successfully did not give up on Xue Ping's approach. In the eyes of both parties, this was actually a serious process of transferring power.

At this time, the other officials and staff had already returned to their homes after get off work. In the entire outer wing, there were only a few lights left in a few rooms, which were the location of the officials on duty. And the back of the Protectorate's Mansion was even more scattered at this time, because he only brought ten followers in total.

A burst of footsteps pulled back the mind of success. When he turned his head, he saw his old family member Cheng Ling walking in with two guards carrying large and small bags of things.

"Are you back?"

"Are you hungry?" Cheng Ling raised the big bag in his hand: "Hurry into the house and put on the cushion."

The table was filled with food I had just bought, and I successfully connected my ten followers, all of whom couldn't wait to eat and stuff them up.

"This Xue Langjun is really, so you don't need to move out so thoroughly, even the chef is not left behind, making you still hungry now." Cheng Ling took a bite and said genuinely.

He smiled successfully: "We are all from poor families, so we can't compare with Xue Duhu. These people are all from his Xue family, and I didn't speak either. Naturally, it's hard for him to stay, and he didn't even speak up to him, so as not to misunderstand me, so he moved so thoroughly. Speaking of which, he is very bachelor."

"Our family is not a poor family." Cheng Ling said dissatisfiedly: "We are in Ji'an and we also have hundreds of acres of land!"

Successfully laughed: "In Xue Duhu's eyes, aren't our families with hundreds of acres of land just poor families? Don't you know that Xue Duhu's father was named the prince. When Xue Duhu's retirement, this hat will still fall steadily on his head."

Cheng Ling tore a piece of mutton into his mouth, chewing it while he said vaguely: "Dalang, this Xue Langjun is not simple. Logically speaking, many people will quickly come to the ground to curry favor with us. It is always okay to give us a few tables? But now there is not one. The first thing tomorrow is that I will go out to hire a chef. We can all support other things for the time being, but cooking is indeed not possible!"

Successfully said lightly: "Those who are qualified to flatter me now don't know my temperament. I am afraid that flattering and will naturally not stick it up easily. Besides, which one of those people is a good match? Although I am the supervisor of your husband now, after investigating the background of these people, are you really afraid of me? Naturally, there is no need to use a hot face to stick my cold ass."

"If I had known this, I would have brought Sima Fan with me. With this man's sophistication, if he had come, he would have arranged everything properly." Cheng Ling sighed.

"This is my killer move. How can I show it to others easily? I must give them a wake-up call at critical moments!" Successfully smiled: "The Western Regions have already had an inherent operating model. Whether it is the officialdom or the shopping mall, if we want to tear this net, we will inevitably come up with extraordinary measures. If the first step is to be unable to stand firm, it will be difficult to deal with the next step."

Cheng Ling disagreed: "Langjun, no matter what, those businessmen have a background, can they still fight you? But those officials are afraid that they are even more troublesome. They are all promoted by Xue Langjun over the years. Look, when you come to take office, Xue Langjun will not come to welcome you with the order, which shows Xue Langjun's majesty!"

Successfully shook his head, his view was completely opposite to Cheng Ling.

Most of the officials of the Tang Dynasty, even those in the Western Regions, were sent from the Central Plains. The current Tang Dynasty bureaucratic system has long had its own set of operating rules, which is completely different from the previous dynasties. Their exams are not determined by Shangguan’s likes and dislikes. Although Shangguan’s comments will have a considerable impact on him, they are not decisive. This makes officials from all over the country no longer depend on Shangguan as they used to, and their independence will naturally be higher.

These people don’t welcome him, the new Shangguan, and it will not affect their work. It is impossible to do whatever they should do.

But the merchants are different.

You can't turn over the table, but these businessmen can really turn over the table. At that time, if they withdraw funds and walk, can they still send someone to detain them?

Can't do it.

They have more ways to make trouble.

Over the years, what I have successfully been in charge of economy and people's livelihood. I am so familiar with this.

Although Sima Fan could take out five million silver dollars to surprise and be amazed, the money was far from enough for Success to do things in the future. The grant agreed by the court would not be possible this year. At least it would not be allocated until the first payment next year. But will Success wait for half a year in vain?

Of course not.

Seize the day!

Are you looking for the financial surplus of the Western Regions Protectorate?

Don’t even think about it. In the relationship with Xue Ping, Xue Ping had already told him clearly that the remaining money in the Western Regions Protectorate was only enough for the next operation this year, and he had to save some money, otherwise he would lose money.

I am grateful for this. At least Xue Ping did not spend money wildly before he left office, and then left him a big hole to make him cry without tears. There are many such examples. Some officials desperately spent money in the public treasury before transferring or retirement, buying bulk goods, or starting a large-scale project. In short, they could still give away a handful of favors before leaving office, and then leave an extremely ugly account book for the successor.

Xue Ping did not do this.

At least he left him enough money to operate throughout the Western Regions Protectorate.

I hope Sima Fan will convince the rich local families to take out the money they hid, so that things will be easier to do.

"Langjun, it's not as difficult as you thought, right?" Cheng Ling whispered: "The merchants who use Li Hai as their backer should not make trouble. Li Hai is still under General Li Rui's command? General Tang Ji will immediately transfer to Jing'an Army, and that will be your subordinates. At most, those of Xue Langjun will be dissatisfied."

"You don't understand the connection here!" Successfully shook his head: "Over the years, these families have formed an alliance, and their interests are clearly divided, and they are all motivated. As for Li Hai and Tang Ji, some things will not be transferred by their will. For example, Li Hai, if you move to Qinghai and Tibet, his people can be transferred to Qinghai and Tibet. And who is behind Li Hai? Pei Ju, the governor of Henan. Li Hai himself is close to Chen Changping. Chen Changping,

Who is Changping? I don’t need to say more? As for Tongda Trading Company, do you really think they are just ordinary Lifu who started their fortunes because of their good luck? Tongda and Boxing joined forces. Behind Boxing are the Khitan clan, Yelu Qi. Boxing Trading Company’s influence and strength are among the best in the Tang Dynasty. Apart from Jin Mantang, who else can compete with Yelu Fengze? The Yuan family is simpler, but behind them is Yuan Zhou, the old minister of His Majesty, and the other is the new governor of Shaanxi."

Cheng Ling suddenly felt relieved: "So, don't we not be able to provoke anyone? What else can we do if we do this?"

"So, it is impossible to use the pressure of the officialdom to make these people submit. People have the capital to compete with us, and if they really have a breakup, it will harm us without any benefit." Successfully said: "If you want to succeed, you can only talk about business and do things with the rules of the mall. To do this, we must have enough capital. This is why I accept Sima Fan and support those local leaders. There is no one behind these people, so I can only rely on me. These people are rich but have no power to support them. They also know very well that such a structure is easy to overturn. Now if I reach out, they will naturally hold it tightly."

"Is that OK?"

"If I have ten million silver dollars to go up, it will definitely be fine." Successful eyes lit up: "Chengling, don't forget that I am the supervisor of the Western Regions. Even if I have to use commercial methods to solve the problem, I have the final say in the formulation of policies. This is a huge advantage. It is also the reason why these people have to bow to me."

"Since that's the case, why did you even shyly face these people earlier?" Cheng Ling asked in confusion.

"When it's time to put pressure, I naturally have to put pressure. I just want to tell them that my method of doing things is different from Xue Ping. The tasks I want to complete are also different from Xue Ping. If they still want to do things in the past, it will definitely not work." Successfully said with a smile. "These people are all extremely smart people. After seeing this scene today, they will naturally think carefully."

"What if they were really angry and embarrassed, and they would take money to leave?"

"Are they willing?" Chenggong said disdainfully: "If they really do this, they are just to put pressure on me and force me to bow their heads. These people are well-informed and know what will happen in the Western Regions next. If such a large piece of fat, if they can't get a piece of fat, their heads will eat up these lives in charge of affairs here! Apart from Qinghai-Tibet and Western Regions, where can there be more money in the Tang Dynasty now than these two places?"

"So it was a scoop to beat the wolf, and both ends were afraid!" Cheng Ling shook his head repeatedly.
