The literati were despised, and Xu and Zhang sat left and right. When Zhang Gongliang saw Xu Wenzhong put down his teacup, he coughed and habitually reached out and rolled his beard. He knew that he was going to speak, so he hurriedly said: "Shaoguo Duke, Zhang has three strategies for choice, middle and lower."

"Oh," Cheng Xiquan was indeed attracted by Zhang Gongliang's words, turned around and smiled, "I hope to hear the details."

Xu Wenzhong and Zhang Gongliang were both from Juren, Xu was from Bingzhou and Zhang was from Suzhou. The two failed to take the exam in Beijing and entrusted themselves to be a guest of Qing in Duke Wen’s mansion. While studying in the mansion, they also gave some ideas for Cheng Xiquan. Cheng Xiquan was generous, and the two had a lot of money in recent years. Cheng Xiquan agreed to the two that if they still failed, they would come forward for the two. With the face of Duke Wen, they could become an eighth-rank official such as a county magistrate and a county magistrate.

"Power the best. There are many experts in the mansion. It should not be difficult to find an opportunity to beat the Jiang surnamed to death." After Zhang Gongliang successfully attracted Cheng Xiquan's attention, he became calm and immersed his thumb in tea, and then applied his beard on his lips.

"The power of the Zhongce. I have heard of Jiang Anyi, the officialdom has offended too many people. It is not easy to deal with the sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Rites. As long as the Duke's Mansion comes forward to suggest, I believe that many people in the court are willing to collect Jiang Anyi's mistakes. The Censors of the Censorate are like evil wolves all day long. If Jiang Anyi throws out this piece of fat meat, they will not be able to rob them."

Seeing that Cheng Xiquan listened seriously, Zhang Gongliang became more and more proud, shaking his head, and the snow fell on his head. The legs crossed his legs were shaking violently, making him look more and more vulgar. Xu Wenzhong's white face and black beard, his eyebrows and eyes are pretty, and he has always looked down on Zhang Gongliang, who was timid in the poor family. Seeing that Zhang Gongliang was so proud, he couldn't help but chuckled, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Gongliang found Xu Wenzhong's sneer, sat upright, put down his raised legs, pointed in the air, and said with great momentum: "The best strategy is to use wisdom. Set a trap. As long as Jiang Anyi takes the bait, you won't let the young master control you."

"The plan will be released?"

Zhang Gongliang smiled a little embarrassedly and said, "I didn't think about it in a hurry. I just started with money, sex, alcohol and alcohol. Didn't this happen again and again before?"

Cheng Xiquan smiled. It is true that there are several concubines in his mansion who got it like this. "Mr. Zhang is right. I want to use these three strategies. I must ruin the Jiang surname. As for his family, I will help him take care of it."

A lewd laughter rang out in the hall.

"Mr. Xu, I wonder what good ideas do you have?" Cheng Xiquan turned his face and asked Xu Wenzhong.

Xu Wenzhong said calmly: "Brother Zhang's three strategies are okay to deal with ordinary people, but it may be a bit difficult to deal with Jiang Anyi."

Zhang Gongliang showed anger on his face. Both of them often fought openly and secretly before Cheng Xiquan, but this approach of pointing out the wrong things was a bit too much. Cheng Xi fully conspired to employ people, and fueled this kind of competition. The superiors could firmly grasp the decision-making power.

However, Cheng Xiquan felt that Zhang Gongliang's three methods were good, so Xu Wenzhong would not agree. Competition was nothing, but it was not worth it to harm the interests of the master's family because of the fight. Cheng Xiquan curled his smile and asked, "Please give me advice."

"Jiang Anyi, Sanyuan and the No. 1 Principal, Jiangnan Cixian, from the officialdom to the direct scholar of Chongwenguan, was deeply favored by the emperor. This man achieved such achievements at a young age, which is really enviable. To be honest, Xu had done some in-depth research on him and wanted to learn some experience from him, which would be helpful for both the imperial examination and the future of officialdom. Some words may not be heard by the young master, and Xu did not know whether to say them." Xu Wenzhong picked up the ink and looked at Cheng Xi's full words.

Cheng Xiquan opened the folding fan, slapped it a few times, and smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Xu, but please tell me, you must know that my father once said, 'Only you can win every battle'. We have to deal with Jiang Anyi, so the more we know about him, the better."

"This son's family was poor, and he made friends with fellow villager Yu with bamboo poems, so he was able to take advantage of the situation. The scholar of the examination was appreciated by the governor Feng for his poems. After entering Zechang Academy, he was valued by Deng Shanchang because of his poor family and recommended him to be under Mr. Fan. After he was promoted to the juren, he made friends with Duke Shen. His "Five Colors of the Day" for the imperial examination was indeed brilliant, and Xu sighed that he was not as good as him."

When talking about Jiang Anyi's poems and essays, Xu Wenzhong was impressed by his admiration. Zhang Gongliang, who was standing by, had a surprisingly similar view to Xu Wenzhong, and sighed: "This person's poems and essays are like gods, and they are incomparable."

Hearing that the two capable advisers under his command admired Jiang Anyi very much, Cheng Xiquan remained calm on the surface, but the folding fan in his hand was like a wheel, and the hatred in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Jiang Anyi helped his army to clear the land when he first entered the officialdom. When the first calf was born, he offended the official family and was placed in the Ministry of Rites. He was not happy with the emperor and the court."

Cheng Xiquan was a young Duke and of course knew about the court. Among the six ministries, the Ministry of Rites was the most noble. Except for the imperial examinations that were once every three years, it was the most leisurely on weekdays. Leisure also means clear water. Unless you reach the level of a minister, ordinary officials of the Ministry of Rites could only rely on a few poor salary to live. A low-level official like Tian Shoulou and a poor minority could only go in and out of the pawn shop frequently.

"What puzzled Xu was that Jiang Anyi had already been in a desperate situation and could not have turned over in less than ten years. For some reason, Eunuch Liu suddenly invited him to a banquet, and the emperor chose him to be a direct scholar in Chongwenguan. Since then, he has become more favored." Xu Wenzhong frowned and couldn't figure it out. Zhang Gongliang sighed "How strange it is"

Xu Wenzhong's words evoked Cheng Xiquan's memory. He once heard a few words from his friend Wang Zhizhi. When his father was demoted, the emperor once said that Jiang Anyi was devoted to the country and had little selfish interests to win his heart. The power of the Wang family was stronger than his family, and was demoted because of making things difficult for Jiang Anyi. It seems that he could not be careless, otherwise he would end up like Wang Kefu, which would make people laugh.

"Mr. Xu is right. Jiang Anyi should not be underestimated. He needs to be considered for a long time." Cheng Xiquan closed the folding fan and said solemnly.

If he couldn't figure it out, Xu Wenzhong let go of his thoughts and said with a smile: "Although Jiang Anyi has many clever things, it is not difficult to deal with him secretly. What the young master said just now is right. This matter must be discussed for a long time..."

The voice gradually lowered, and the three of them muttered and whispered, bursts of laughter from time to time. Cheng Yougui was upset when he listened to the laughter in the house. I wonder which family was going to be unlucky again. He didn't listen to it, so he let the servants under the eaves stand farther, so Cheng Yougui left for a long time.

The fragrance of the vibe quickly became a famous product in Beijing. Rich people from several nearby states came to buy this magical perfume. After using perfume, some merchants in the Western Regions found that perfume had a great effect on covering their body odor, and generously bought 200 bottles. There were not many 12,000 bottles left in advance, and the second batch of 22,000 bottles of perfume transported by Guo Haiqing were on the way.

In mid-July, Yu Qingle received his salary. For the first time in his life, he took the 200 taels of silver from his labor. Yu Qingle was mixed with emotions. The Yu family was very strict. Before getting married, Yu Qingle only had five taels of silver per month, but after getting married, it turned into twenty taels. However, all the money was controlled by Zhang Yuzhu. Yu Qingle only had a few coins of silver on him, and there was no other way except to eat and drink.

Two hundred taels of silver, Yu Qingle felt like a slave became a master. He was thinking about how to spend it. He gave it to his wife at home, and fifty taels to eat, drink and play. The remaining one hundred taels should be able to see Lian'er several times in Manchunyuan. After getting married, he had never seen Lian'er except for the time of taking the courtesan. He didn't know how Lian'er was doing.

When Guo Huaili saw Yu Qingle, he smiled and said, "Qingle, you have to be a member today. Let's go to Xiangjichu for dinner. I can eat two roast ducks there."

Xiangjichu, a famous roast duck in Beijing, can get at least five taels of silver for a table waiting for a banquet. Money is a hero. Yu Qingle was particularly generous and agreed readily: "Brother Guo, call him Donghe. Simply invite An Yi and Brother Fan, we will not return until we get drunk."

Yu Qing lived a very casual life in the following days. His friends who had been away from him were surrounded like cats who smelled fishy fish. All kinds of flattering words were so cool. Of course, flattering words had to pay a price. Not only did the fifty taels that were intended to treat them were spent, but most of the silver coins that went to Manchunyuan were misappropriated.

Miss Lian'er is no longer in Manchunyuan. It is said that she was married to a wealthy businessman with a lot of money. Her youthful dream is fragile. Yu Qingle, who is full of melancholy, was drunk for several times and then let go, spending all the expenses to eat.

In the past, I was very careful in the days of a few taels of silver, and my friends helped each other. Please give me a meal. Yu Qingle carried more than a hundred taels of silver on her, and paid generously again and again with flattery. Before July was over, the silver on her body was left with single digits.

As the meal was approaching, friends gathered together one after another, saying "Young Master Yu" and "Young Master Yu". Everyone carried Yu Qingle in a flower sedan chair, lifting Yu Qingle higher and higher. One of them was the sixth-rank Guanglu Temple Chief, who was from the sixth-rank family. He was good at checking his face. Seeing that Mr. Yu was embarrassed today, he knew that he should be short of money.

Hong Daokun rolled his eyes and smiled, "It's still early, so why don't you guys go and try your luck together. Whoever is lucky will treat you. Although Mr. Yu is hospitable, we can't always ask Mr. Yu to treat you."

Everyone said yes, surrounded Yu Qingle and came to Changlefang on the left side of the East City. There were several famous large casinos located in Beijing. Dazheng strictly prohibited opening casinos in private, but he was reluctant to give up the huge taxes from the casinos. Therefore, according to the size and size of the state government, there can be 40 casinos in Shangzhou, 30 in Zhongzhou, and 20 in Xiazhou. The official positions of casinos will be supervised, and the reds will be drawn from 30 to 50%.
