Chapter 139 Three fires when the new official takes office

"Brother Wang, if this notice is posted, the Wang family may not give up." After leaving Lin Xiqi's study, Chen Changjie said with some concern, "The life of the adult is worrying."

"Old Chen, don't worry about this, sir, you know what you think." Wang Dong said.

"Brother Wang, I know you are knowledgeable. Have you seen something? Tell me?" Although Chen Changjie was not very clear about Wang Dong's past, he could also know that Wang Dong must have some identity in the past.

"I can't say it either." Wang Dong said, "I just think this adult is not very old, but it is definitely not simple."

"Do you think the Wang family can't do anything to you?" Chen Changjie asked.

"Let's wait and see." Wang Dong chuckled, then patted Chen Changjie on the shoulder and said, "Old Chen, if we want to never live such a life, this lord may be our hope. Let's not talk about it for now, I have to recruit people quickly. The county government must look like a county government."

Seeing Wang Dong leave in a hurry, Chen Changjie was stunned.

He and Wang Dong have known each other for more than ten years, but have never seen Wang Dong so motivated.

"It seems that this adult is really extraordinary." Chen Changjie thought to himself, "Then I will wait and see."

He thought that this adult came to take office alone, which was not something ordinary people could do.

After Chen Changjie posted the notice Lin Xiqi said, the people in the city couldn't help but talk.

In their opinion, such notices are of no use at all.

Isn’t the Wang family doing their own things?

A county magistrate has few yamen runners under his command. What can he fight against forces like the Wang family?

The Wang family casually recruited some servants, and the number was ten or a hundred times that of the yamen runners.

Wang Family.

"Master, this is the notice from the new magistrate." Butler Wang hurriedly rushed into the study with a piece of paper.

"What's the panic?" Wang He said lightly, "What did the notice say?"

Wang He, the head of the Wang family, was around 60 years old, with a rosy face and full of energy.

"Master, the content is all on this piece of paper." Butler Wang respectfully handed the paper on it.

Wang He took a look, threw the paper on the ground, and sneered: "The new official takes office for three fires!"

"Yes, master, the new magistrate is just a teenage boy, and I don't know what it is." Butler Wang said.

"I have sent someone to inquire. He ordered a million taels from the county magistrate before he took this position." Wang He said, "Originally, Liusha and I discussed with him that we wanted to help us get on the horse, but later gave up."

"Master, we can still afford to pay one million taels of silver, why give up?" asked Mr. Wang.

"Of course one million taels can be afforded, and it's nothing. But spending million taels for such a magistrate is not worth it." Wang He smiled and said, "A magistrate usually only takes five years. We can only spend 50,000 or 60,000 taels on them in five years. It doesn't matter whether our people are."

"Yes, yes, what the master said." Butler Wang said hurriedly.

This was the case with these magistrates before. No matter who they were, it had no impact on their Wang family.

"Master, I'm afraid this kid is a naughty boy." Butler Wang said, "Do we have to think of a countermeasure? I'm afraid this kid has any background."

"It's okay." Wang He waved his hand and said, "These are all small things, even if they have their origins, so what? This is our place. There is another big thing now. When this matter is done, it's not too late to deal with this kid."

"Yes, please give me instructions." Butler Wang said.

"The Ji family just wrote a letter to the 'passing business name' in the capital." Wang He said.

"What did the Ji family say?" Butler Wang asked hurriedly.

"I hope we will help them with something." Wang He said, "You should contact Wang Long, Wang Hu, and Wang Bao immediately to let them pay attention to the 'Tianhe Trading' in the near future. Once you find out, you will rob them immediately and do not let anyone go."

"Tianhe Business?" Butler Wang was stunned and said, "Is that one of the four major business names in Beijing?"

"Yes, 'Tianhe Trading' was once one of the four major trading houses, but now it has declined." Wang He shook his head and said.

"Master, is that the 'Public Trading' ready to annex the 'Tianhe Trading'?" asked Mr. Wang.

"It's almost the same. Our Wang family finally got online with the Ji family. This matter must be done well. In the future, the development in the capital will rely on the support of the Ji family." Wang He said.

"Master, are you planning to buy a housekeeping business in Beijing?" asked Mr. Wang.

"There is no way, the cunning rabbit has three holes. We have a good relationship with Liushamen, but Liushamen is at its peak now. The Chiyan Sect will not last long, and Dunhuang County will soon be their world." Wang He said.

"Isn't that a great thing for us?" Mr. Wang asked in confusion.

Their Wang family and Liushamen have a good relationship. If Liushamen gains power, they will benefit even more.

"It is prosperous and declining." Wang He said, "Our Wang family may reach its peak because of Liushamen, but Liushamen has completely controlled Dunhuang County. Will they still allow our Wang family? We have to be careful."

"The master is far-sighted." said Butler Wang.

"Let the three of them do this matter more easily." Wang He said, "Also, Gao Huzi and Wu Duyan also informed him that as long as they cooperate with us this time, each family will give 50,000 taels of benefits afterwards."

"Yes, I'll do it now." Butler Wang said.

Gao Huzi and Wu Duyan are the other two forces among the five robbers.

Although it does not belong to the Wang family, it also cooperates with the Wang family.

"Sir, are you the only one?" Chen Changjie asked Lin Xiqi and said.

"Why are you alone?" Lin Xiqi smiled, pointed at Xiaohu sleeping loudly and said, "Isn't he still there?"

Chen Changjie smiled speechlessly and said, "Sir, this is not what the student means. The student means that there must be someone to serve him. Now the county yamen is full of yamen runners, with thick hands and thick feet, and they really can't serve him."

"Then you go find a few servants." Lin Xiqi said.

"Students go to do it, but they are afraid that the ones they find are not in line with the wishes of adults." Chen Changjie said, "Sir, there are places for merchants in the city. Why should adults choose a few in person?"

"Population transaction?" Lin Xiqi frowned.

"Sir, there is no way to do this." Chen Changjie sighed, "Some people really can't survive. They sell their children and daughters, so that they can have a way out. This is the world."

Lin Xiqi nodded and said, "Okay, I'm just free today, let's go and have a look."

After saying that, Lin Xiqi slapped Xiaohu and said, "Don't sleep, go out for a walk."

Xiaohu was sleepy and jumped onto Lin Xiqi's shoulders, then closed his eyes and started dozing on his shoulders.

After a while, Chen Changjie took Lin Xiqi to a market.
