It turns out that the people of Kaifeng Prefecture really have the tradition of crying for their official families!

When Wu Haogu spent all night in the Duan Palace and finally found out the accounts, the money, the industry, the treasures and the women's accounts dragged their tired bodies and rode towards the Pan family on horseback, bursts of crying sounds came from his ears.

The obituary of the official Zhao Xu has been posted in various places in Kaifeng Prefecture. From now on, the Song Dynasty has entered the national mourning period, and all entertainment activities are prohibited within a hundred days. Wu Haogu's "The Courtesan" album will be suspended for about three months, and now it will lose 100,000 yuan in money... Thinking of this, Wu Haogu was so sad that he shed tears.

However, while the album of "The Courtesan" was losing a lot of money, Wu Haogu still discovered many new opportunities to make money.

For example, many senior officials of the New Party will be demoted from Beijing soon!

Is this an opportunity to make money?

Of course! It costs money on the way to demotion, and no one knows when it will be reinstated, so you should bring more money on hand to avoid suffering on the road.

This travel fee can be obtained by selling calligraphy, painting and art. Christie's "secret singing" business comes in handy. Singing at Christie's is much more expensive than selling at temple fairs in Guishizi or Daxiangguo Temple.

However, most civil servants have the habit of trying to save face. It is very difficult to get these transactions into their hands without hurting their self-esteem.

In addition, many new party members' calligraphy is worth a lot, and they may take the opportunity to get a few pictures. Especially the calligraphy treasures of Zhang Dun and Zeng Bu will definitely be worth a lot of money in the future.

While the new party officials were in trouble, many people from the old party should come back, which is a great opportunity!

Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian in the Song Si family are both old party leaders! Especially Su Dongpo, he has arranged for Qiao Jinniang to post it. As long as he can return to Kaifeng Prefecture safely, can Master Su thank him without writing a few big words?

A big character sells for tens or 20,000 yuan, and tens of thousands of yuan will be available!

In addition, there are also real-life comic strips of Su Dongpo and Qiao Jinniang that can be sold for money, which can be serialized in "Wenquxing" magazine...

To achieve this goal, it is best to let Su Dongpo return to Kaifeng Prefecture alive. This is not impossible, because Su Dongpo died in the first year of Jianzhong Jingguo. That is, next year, and now is the first month of the third year of Yuanfu. If Su Dongpo can be promoted to return north immediately, and if Qiao Jinniang takes care of her along the way, she should be able to come back alive.

In addition to calligraphy, painting, literature and art, there are also real estate transactions that can be done... Those who are demoted want to sell houses, while those who are resuming need to buy houses. This is a big deal!

Thinking of the many big deals that Wu Haogu could do, he had already entered the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture and arrived at his temporary residence in Pan's home.

At this time, a long carriage was parked at the entrance of Panjiayuan, and dozens of horses were tied to the pylons. There were also many wealthy servants wearing plain robes guarding there. I don’t know whose family belonged to it?

Lin Wancheng's son Lin Chong was guarding the door with a few servants from Pan Jiayuan. When he saw Wu Haogu, he came up as if he was flying, and held the reins of Wu Haogu's crotch.

"East Gate, you're back." Lin Chong said, "From this morning, many people have come to pay homage to you, and they almost broke the door of the house. The wife and the elder sister have both bodies and have no choice but to call the old man."

They are all here to give gifts!

This is the benefit of becoming a confidant in the official family!

Wu Haogu waved his hand and said, "I'm so tired that I have to go to bed for a while. I ask my father to leave the gift list and wait until I've had enough sleep before reading."

Of course, gifts are to be collected! As a lucky official, it would be too unreasonable if he didn't even accept gifts.

However, how many gifts to receive and whom it is a knowledge.

With Wu Haogu’s current status, the big merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture, as long as there is no steel plate-like backstage behind them, they have to give a gift of meetings usually, and they don’t need to give more money. They just need to have a few hundred pieces of money. They don’t ask Wu Haogu to do anything, it’s just a protection fee. Don’t just make trouble if you have nothing to do.

Of course, I have to collect this money! Because it is not Wu Haogu who wants to collect the money, Gao Qiu also takes it, Pan Xiao'an also wants to collect it, and the two governors of the Xiang family and the fat eunuch Pang Kuan have to collect a portion of money... I just collect more than 100,000 yuan and then I have it. Wu Haogu wants one person to be a noble person, what are others? Are corrupt officials?

But some money, such as someone asking for Wu Haogu's work, asking for an official position, asking for promotion, asking for revenge, asking for love (some officials, parents, and parents who die without thinking about it) or something, then you have to think clearly. If you can handle it for others, you can collect the money, but don't collect it if you can't.

Of course, if Wu Haogu didn't want to help others and didn't accept any, it would be fine. But he would not get the reputation of a clean official because of this, but instead would be considered unkind.

So you have to take some control and help others... This is the officialdom of the Song Dynasty. As for feudalism, you are really as clear as water. How annoying is that?

...

Ji Yi, who became a confidant in the official family, was busy collecting money, but Ji Yi, who did stupid things, would naturally lose money at this time.

After handing over the family's "Bizhitu" to Gao Qiu, he prepared another generous gift to ask Zhang Dun for forgiveness. Although Zhao Ji had let him go, it does not mean that Zhao Ji would fight Zhang Dun for him. Who told him to betray Zhang Dun too late? If he immediately sold Zhang Dun as soon as he saw Zhao Ji, he would be a confidant now. But he just waited until his lie was knocked out before selling it, which would be worthless...

However, Zhang Dun did not "abandon" him, and he still met him, a big traitor, in the study.

"Zhou Yue Zuzhang," Ji Yi returned to her former demeanor at this time and bowed to Zhang Dun, "I have become a villain."

"Oh." Zhang Dun had a expression on his face.

Ji Yi said: "But I have no choice but to be afraid of death!"

"oh."

"I met Wu Haogu at Prince Duan's Mansion, and later Pan Xiao'an came with the armored soldiers." Ji Yi said, "But... I did not reveal the matter of the will."

Zhang Dun smiled: "You are not too stupid at all."

Zhao Xu's will is a life-threatening thing. If Zhang Dun could get the will from Concubine Zhu yesterday, Empress Dowager Xiang would be defeated. Zeng Bu, Cai Bian, Xu General, Cai Jing and others would stand on Zhang Dun's side. Moreover, the generals who were in charge of the army and the affairs of the three yamen would also turn against each other immediately.

But the problem is that Zhang Dun did not get the will, nor did he say that there was the will!

So this will be considered as non-existent. If Ji Yi exposed this matter, he would have been killed by suicide now.

Ji Yi sighed and said, "Young people are not stupid, but they are too smart."

Zhang Dun laughed: "Yes, you are so smart, you are less stupid and confused. Being an official is not enough to be smart. You must be stupid enough when you should be stupid, and you must be confused when you should be stupid. In terms of being stupid, I am much better than you, and Wu Haogu is also stronger than you. We all identified one direction and went all the way to the dark, unlike you who have so many plans."

"I have done everything and I am wrong!" Ji Yi sighed bitterly.

"What should I do now?" Zhang Dun looked at Ji Yi, "Will accompany me to Danzhou?"

Ji Yi smiled bitterly: "If you had this stupidity, it wouldn't be like this."

"You can't help but." Zhang Dun smiled, "My granddaughter is quite in love with you, and I like you too. It's better to just linger with me around the ends of the world and see the scenery of the sea country."

After hearing what Zhang Dun said, Ji Yi, who was too calculating, began to forget again. Zhang Dun meant to marry his granddaughter to himself? Why is this? Does the old man think he still has value in use? But where is his value?

Go to Danzhou to serve Mr. Zhang?

Is it unlikely?

Or does Zhang Dun want to go to Danzhou and want to help solve the problem by himself?

But how can I solve this sleepiness?

Ji Yi thought about it and finally guessed Zhang Dun’s thoughts, so she asked, “Don’t Yue Zuzhang want to go to Danzhou for a while?”

"I didn't even think about Changjiang." Zhang Dun said quietly, "I have nothing to think about now, I just want to spend the rest of my life comfortably."

You want to spend the rest of your life comfortably and comfortably, why do you oppose King Duan? Just because of the last emperor's will? You are not stupid... When Ji Yi thought of this, he suddenly understood why Zhang Dun could be the only one for seven years. It was because he was "stupid"!

Zhang Dun's "stupidity" is famous! I remember that I had passed the Jinshi at the beginning, but because I was not as good as my nephew Zhang Heng, I refused to become an official, and I wasted three years and took the exam again. It is difficult to find the second such a "fool" in the history of the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years.

After winning the Jinshi for the second time, he was stupid before he was awarded an official position. He committed adultery with Meiji from his elder family. When he was knocked out, he actually climbed over the wall and fled. He happened to fall on an old woman. As a result, he was detained to Kaifeng Mansion, which ruined his reputation.

Later, when I was traveling with Su Dongpo, I came to another "Zhang Dunshu cliff" and was not afraid of falling to death... This is also a fool! What if I really fell to death?

Moreover, after Zhang Dun became an official, he had a bad reputation and could make trouble everywhere. He was a vicious official. In Ji Yi's opinion, doing this would be a fool. Others are good men, but you are the only one who is a villain, but why are you not a fool?

But sometimes, it is just a "fool" who can do things. In the court, there are a group of foxes who have become spirits, and there is no vicious prime minister who is dyingly. Can you still do things?

Zhang Dun smiled and said, "Yizhi, you are a smart person, so let's find a way out for me, a stupid official. By the way, I have to be a good candidate for this spring exam. A Jinshi will always be required. Only with a Jinshi can you make great use in the future."

Will it be of great use in the future?
