C3510 The scandal of the Empress Dowager of the East (2/2)
”Furthermore, the Chengde, including the northern part of Mongolia, have always been Ci An's territory. Children being there is indeed safer!”
”Don't worry, if something really happens, some Mongolian cavalry will definitely come to save the situation. That's why Qing San Ye is here to buy the manor …”
Just as the two of them were discussing how to use this move of chess in the future, they heard footsteps coming from outside, ”Master!” ”The money has already been loaded onto cars and transported out. The steward of Lord Li's house has finished counting the money, and the convoy has departed …”
Yang Zhi frowned and suddenly spoke out, ”Pass my order down, gather a hundred guards from Tongzhou's village and chase after the convoy to protect them along the way. You must send the silver to Chengde safely! ”
”Ah …” This servant will do it right away! ”
Yang Zhi smashed his fist on the table, ”Let's not care about that for now, a one-year old child like you won't be able to see any use for it now! ”I'll just take it one step at a time!”
”However... I finally understand you today! So it turns out that you are really Sun Wukong! You sure are bold! ”
This accident actually made Yang Zhi dispel all of his suspicions. Yesterday, he still suspected that Li Tuo was Xiao Letian's deepest spy.
Li Tuo even dared to scheme against Xiao Letian's uncle, how could he possibly be Xiao Letian's direct descendant?
One had to know, this child had to call Xiao Letian Uncle, was he related to him or not?
Li Tuo understood in a blink of an eye. You, you, you, you … ”Ouch …” Sighing, he slapped the table. ”I say that your imagination is too rich!”
”So you were suspecting that I was Xiao Letian's man yesterday? I was wondering why I couldn't find you. Your brain … Aiyee! ”You, aiya …”
Shaking my head, I sighed and slapped the table, ”I am like a fish in water in Great Qing, my network of connections is all here, I go from the eunuchs in the palace to the royal dispensaries, from cooks to guards, to all the officials in the government …”
”I've operated for more than ten years, and only then did I manage to obtain such a great net. How fat must I have to eat with this net?”
”I'm stupid, why am I hanging out with Xiao Letian? To make him overthrow the Great Qing, all of my efforts were wasted? Right... I also know that the Chinese would also have to use lower echelons, but Xiao Letian's rules are too big, it's not easy to deceive him! ”
His words had hit the nail on the head. If the officials wanted to survive, they would have to rely on Shangguan's impotence! If Shangguan Fei was too shrewd, it would not be easy for them to make money!
The best way was to find some foolish officials, who would be at their mercy like a puppet. In reality, many local officials in Great Qing were all puppets like that.
If he became a magistrate, he would sing poetry and travel the mountains and the rivers every day. All the work was done by the Grand Master and the bailiffs in the county magistrate court. In the end, he was paid a large share of the money.
The County Magistrate's Command was nothing more than a matter of seniority. After a few years of giving gifts, he would naturally be promoted to a county that was rich at the very least!
After that, they would go to the new environment and do the same thing. The former officials would send off a lord, meet another lord, and then leave the lucrative work for them to do!
Just like this, year after year, for the rest of his life, the basic rights of Great Qing were firmly held in the hands of these people!
”I say, Yang Zhi! This game has been played for thousands of years, and we are all familiar with it. However, Xiao Letian is a changed person, no matter where he goes, the atmosphere will change! ”
”I'm following him? The risk is too great! ”
Yang Zhi's face reddened, ”I'm sorry brother, I have also caused people to suspect that I was the one who killed them …” I'll drink, I'll drink! ”
