Jiang Anyi followed Zhang Keji to the last cave. There was an iron fence in front of the cave. Through the fence, you could see tools, carts, shoulder poles, and baskets. Zhang Keji untied a bunch of keys from his waist, opened the copper lock, and opened the iron fence.

The cave is only half the size of the grain cellar, and it is full of debris, which makes it more and more crowded. Jiang Anyi looked around in surprise, wondering what Zhang Keji brought him here to do. The cave is not good at lighting and poor ventilation. Standing inside is both dark and stuffy, Zhang Keji took Jiang Anyi carefully through the debris and came to the end of the cave. Jiang Anyi's eyes were sharp and he found that there were cracks wide in the cave, and there were iron fences locked at the cracks.

Zhang Keji picked up the torch next to him and lit it with flint. He asked Jiang Anyi to hold it, opened the lock on the iron fence by himself, and turned around and said, "Lord, be careful, it's hard to walk on the road." Jiang Anyi followed Zhang Keji and walked hard in the long and narrow cracks for about ten feet. The front suddenly became wider, and there was a light not far ahead.

"Lord, when I was digging a cave, I found a natural crack here, so I stopped working. I touched it here alone along the crack of the mountain." Zhang Keji said, taking Jiang Anyi through the cave. A big tree covered it at the entrance of the cave. He turned over and suddenly became clear in front of him. The green valley appeared in front of him.

The valley is more than ten acres in radius, surrounded by mountains, with steep mountains, forming a natural barrier. Looking from the valley, there are lush trees. Jiang Anyi had visited this area and had never discovered the valley here. He had never heard from people in the town that it should be covered by trees.

Jiang Anyi was shocked by the scenery in front of him. Zhang Keji was obviously used to it. He walked through the knee-high grass and led Jiang Anyi to a waterside. This was a small river about a meter wide, covered by the grass on the bank, quietly flowing in the grass.

"The source of this small river is a waterfall. Zhang once went downstream and found that the river water led to Meishan Valley. The water from the curve of Meishan Valley could flow into the Dianshui River."

Meishangou and Jiang Anyi have an impression that when he was a child, my father took him there to visit friends, which was the jurisdiction of Qutai County. Everyone has always thought that Qutai County and Xinqi County were blocked by mountains, and only the official roads were connected. Unexpectedly, this place was connected to Qutai County.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi was confused, Zhang Keji obviously did not realize the importance of this place. Then he thought, Zhang Keji was relieved. Although Jiang Anyi was young and poor, he had a smooth journey after passing the imperial examination and had no sense of crisis. Building a parcel was just to lay a century-long foundation for the descendants of the Jiang family. He was born into a noble family and used to the open and secret struggles within the family. He fell into the opponent in Huazhou. After going through hardships, he always thought about a way out. Alas, how should he explain his cunning mentality to his lord?

Back at the village, Jiang Anyi saw his cousin Huang Dongquan walking anxiously in Zhang Keji's courtyard. Dongquan and An Yong are about the same age and have the best relationship. Last time, they were scolded by Jiang Anyi by Jiang Anyi because they rode the horse with Jiang Anyong, so they were a little timid when they saw Jiang Anyi and shouted respectfully: "Cousin, Mr. Zhang."

After not seeing each other for two years, Huang Dongquan has grown up to be an adult, as tall as Jiang Anyi, wearing a round-necked spring shirt, and has a bit of the appearance of a family. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Dongquan, are you asking me for trouble?"

"Cousin, County Magistrate Wang is here, are you in a hurry to find you? Aunt asked you to go back quickly. Hurry up, it's been more than a moment, and I'm afraid that the county magistrate will be unhappy after a long time." As soon as she spoke, Huang Dongquan showed his timidity and his frizzy nature.

Zhang Kejiyuan was about to explain the benefits of the secret place to Jiang Anyi in detail. At this time, it was obviously not the time, so he had to remind him: "Lord, the magistrate Wang is just a stake here. Remember that if you are small, you will not give in. Otherwise, you will have no choice but to retreat soon."

Jiang Anyi nodded and returned to the front house with Huang Dongquan. He saw the county magistrate's official sedan chair parked in front of his house, and several ceremonial signs leaning against his courtyard wall. More than ten yamen runners sat in the shade and drank water. As soon as they stepped into the courtyard, they saw Wu Bantou of the soap troupe of the county hurried over and bowed, "Master Jiang, you have finally come back. All the adults are angry. Please hurry up."

Accelerate his pace, Jiang Anyi rushed to the main hall. As soon as he arrived under the eaves, he heard someone in the hall saying sarcastically: "... I am busy with all my life and come to your house in person. Jiang Anyi is so good. He asked the adults to wait for him. He is also a person who has studied. Why don't he even understand some rules? I really don't know how he passed the exam."

This was a bully. Jiang Anyi was furious and walked into the lobby. He saw Wang Haiqing sitting in the guest seat with a smile on his face. He heard a clerk beside him speak loudly. When the clerk saw Jiang Anyi coming in with an angry face, he shrank his neck and swallowed the words below.

Jiang Anyi sneered: "Jiang is the top scholar, the emperor is the one who is close to the emperor. This adult said that Jiang has only a false reputation, but he said that the emperor has no eyes. Did he make a mistake in Jiang?"

No one could resist the big hat. The clerk's face suddenly turned pale. The thin camel was bigger than a horse. Jiang Anyi was demoted to a commoner and was not something that he could afford to offend. The clerk looked at the county magistrate Wang, who was instructed by Lord Wang to say these words. At the critical moment, Lord Wang could save me.

Wang Haiqing coughed softly and scolded lightly: "Wang Lu, don't talk nonsense, let me retreat."

Wang Lu respectfully responded, bent across Jiang Anyi and walked out of the lobby quickly. Jiang Anyi bowed and bowed and said, "The grass-roots have met the adults."

Wang Haiqing said with a stern face: "Don't give me a gift, Jiang Anyi, please let me wait. Since I have come, I will have something to say so that I can avoid wasting time. Jiang Anyi, you have served as a member of the Ministry of Rites, so you should know that the emperor is chasing the land and a mu of Qing Dynasty. In recent years, the Jiang family has bought land, land and mountains. I wonder if anyone has put the land in your name?"

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "There are records of the buying and selling of land in the county government. Please check whether there is any false land or not. If it is found out, you will be willing to be punished."

Seeing that he could not scare Jiang Anyi, Wang Haiqing said again: "As far as I know, the former magistrate Chen has a close relationship with you, whether there is any reduction in the land for buying and selling, and whether it is sold more often. In addition, the county intends to re-register the land, the Jiang family is a big family and needs to cooperate with the county. In addition, the Jiang family's wine and perfume are all big taxpayers. In order to prevent leaks, the official will send someone to check the accounts in detail and ask the Jiang family to cooperate."

Jiang Anyi frowned secretly. The county magistrate Wang was clearly looking for trouble, and he had the final say in re-classifying. Although it was not much money, the seedlings and flowers in the fields would inevitably be trampled and ruined. There was no way, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "Sir, I have a hard time traveling afar. First have something to say and chat. Uncle Wang, please prepare a banquet to entertain the county magistrate and brothers from the county."

A smile appeared on Wang Haiqing's face. It seemed that Jiang Anyi was still right and knew what to do. The banquet was placed and the red envelope was handed over secretly. The county magistrate Wang had 20 taels of silver notes, and the minor officials brought were 20 taels, the top troupe was 20 taels, and each yamen runner was 5 taels, and after one round, nearly 400 taels of silver was spent.

Eating well-known people is the strength of the officials. The yamen runners shouted and punched in the courtyard and drank happily. In the room, Jiang Anyi brothers accompanied Wang County Magistrate, and several clerks and Wu Bantou accompanied him. Wang Haiqing drank a sip of wine and praised: "I have heard that the wine produced by Jiang's family is good and sold to Beimo. I tasted it today and it is indeed well-known. No wonder some people regard Jiang'an Dui wine as the fifth wine."

When he heard the song, Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "If you like it, I will send two cars to the mansion later. You can taste it slowly."

Wu Bantou smiled and said, "Master Jiang, you can't look at the great master with your eyes. It's not easy for you to come here. Should you also enjoy some wine for everyone?"

"Okay, each brother has two oaths." Jiang Anyi secretly hated him. He had no good feelings for the yamen runners, and Wu Bantou's words made him even more disgusted with the yamen runners. Jiang Anyong beside him looked displeased, and Wang Lu sneered: "Jiang Ermai, you seem a little unhappy."

Jiang Anyong was pulled under the table, Jiang Anyong picked up the bowl, poured it down in one breath, and then fell on the table, stopping moving. Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "My brother is not good at drinking. If you drink too much, don't blame Wang Shuli." Wang Lu really dared not shy face to Jiang Anyi. Although Jiang Anyi is a commoner, he is also a commoner who is the top scholar and cannot afford to offend him.

"Sir, the Jiang family's business has always been a partnership with three families. This account is in the hands of the Yu family. If you want to check the accounts, you might as well find Yu Zhiren, the official who waited for Yu." Jiang Anyi smiled.

Wang Haiqing's purpose here was to make some money, and he didn't really want to check the accounts. Moreover, Yu Zhijie was still the Minister of Revenue, so how dare he go to Yu's mansion to ask for the accounts. However, Jiang Anyi was demoted to a commoner and the Jiang family became a huge fat meat. Wang Haiqing thought to himself that it would be delicious to eat meat in a small stutter, and his term of office is still long, so there is no rush for a moment.

Huang Kailin raised his glass and toasted everyone, put down the glass and smiled: "The Jiang family's land transactions are all through the government. Mr. Wu and Mr. Hong all know it. The Jiang family naturally needs to cooperate if they want to clear the fields in the court. However, can we wait until the autumn harvest so that we will not miss the season."

Jiang Anyi took over the conversation and said, "The Jiang family's perfume is sold to the capital, and the care of nobles in the capital is required. If the perfume is not produced due to the Qingtian mistaken flower season, the perfume products will not be released, I am afraid the nobles will not like it."

Wang Haiqing was shocked, yes, if the Jiang family's perfume production was less, the empress would definitely ask herself when she asked, but she would not be able to eat it. Wang Haiqing hurriedly said: "Perfume is a big deal, and it is not too late to talk about it when the flowering period is over."

Speaking of perfume, everyone here is jealous. Although the perfume is produced in Pingshan Town, there is no perfume circulation in the market in Pingshan Town. Except for the Jiang family, Yu family, and Guo family, all of them were transported to the capital. I heard that the perfume price in the capital is more than gold, and even a hundred taels of silver cannot be bought a bottle of perfume.

Women have used perfume and are crazy about it. Even Wang Haiqing has only heard of this thing, but has never used it. When Jiang Anyi was in power, everyone could do nothing. Now Jiang Anyi has been demoted to a commoner. Needless to say, the magistrate of Wang County came, the others have made up their minds to scrape out a few bottles of perfume from the Jiang family.

Hong Zhiping was the head of the official room mentioned by Wang Haiqing after taking office. Naturally, he was the confidant of Wang County Magistrate Wang. He could be said to be the roundworm in Wang County Magistrate Wang's belly. He knew what he thought best. Hong Zhiping picked up the wine and said, "Master Jiang, everyone said that this perfume is a rare item. Can you give me one or two bottles to open my eyes. Besides, the fragrance of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Lord Wang is the lord of a county. Is he giving him one or two hundred bottles to make him suffer and make you famous everywhere? Wouldn't this business be getting bigger and bigger? Lord Wang, do you think so?"

He was too bullying, Jiang Anyi slapped the wine glass heavily and sneered: "What a big tone, one or two hundred bottles. Have you asked the noble people in the palace to agree?"

Wang Haiqing's face darkened. Jiang Anyi was so bold that he dared to show his face. The Empress would also care about the trivial matter of one or two hundred bottles of perfume. Jiang Anyi pulled the tiger skin to make a big banner. It is obvious that this official is still a member of the Empress. Standing up, Wang Haiqing said with a calm face: "Go back to the yamen."

Jiang An was so angry that he was too lazy to get up and said coldly: "It's easy to leave, so I won't send you off."

The clerks were stunned. Jiang Anyi didn't play according to the rules. What should I do?
