Chapter 414 Meet the nobles!

Kou Xiangwen was so excited.

After so many years, the thing he was most annoying was that taxes were difficult to collect. The taxes on the higher level increased every year, but the people were getting poorer and poorer. As an official, how could he grasp this balance?

In Longyou, if you want to be promoted, you cannot make any false statements in the political performance evaluation, because Longyou has been in war for years, the general and the prince have extremely strict tax requirements for the following taxes in order to maintain huge military expenditures.

The other officials are not allowed to do so. Those who are capable are superior and those who are mediocre are inferior. This is an iron rule. Kou Xiangwen has some relationships with him, but he has been unable to meet the standards in his performance exams, which makes him very distressed.

The old guy Wang Wenyuan is also very smart. If he doesn't want to win, he will first seek stability. He handed over the most difficult work to Kou Xiangwen, which is obviously advancing and retreating with him.

Kou Xiangwen spent the best of his strength, and if he achieved success, Wang Wenyuan would naturally have the benefits. Once he was in trouble, he could not hand over what he should have. Kou Xiangwen could not stay in his seat and would inevitably run upwards. As long as Kou Xiangwen could maintain his position, Wang Wenyuan had no reason to not be able to maintain his position.

Therefore, Kou Xiangwen has hardships, and today Lu Zheng’s idea has made him find a new world. If it is true as Lu Zheng said, this thing can be accomplished, after so many years of hardship, he will finally have the chance to stand out!

When Lu Zheng faced Kou Xiangwen's incoherence, he felt funny. In fact, Lu Zheng suddenly burst into inspiration and came up with a way.

This approach is actually the way for the government to borrow money. If the government has no money, it borrows from outside and then uses other methods to repay the money. For Lu Zheng, who has modern experience, this idea is not even new.

But Kou Xiangwen couldn't imagine that the key is that he did not have the ability to find such a businessman. Lu Zheng could think of this idea and find this businessman again. Kou Xiangwen had the courage to get it done in private, and then show the limelight, waiting for promotion.

As long as his official position is up, he doesn't need to care about the number of disputes in Shatin County. This is exactly the same as the practice of officials being promoted and then leaving behind random stalls after the local government borrows debts.

Kou Xiangwen's attitude towards Lu Zheng suddenly became extremely close. He is a famous iron rooster, but he is also a person who can distinguish the pros and cons. If Lu Zheng can give him great benefits, how can he not fully support Lu Zheng?

He immediately expressed his opinion: "Don't worry, Lord Lu, establishing a county school is a major event in our Shatian County. It is important to do so. My Kou Xiangwen said this here. As long as what Lord Lu said can be accomplished, you need money and food for the county school. I, Kou, do my best to help you.

I have known for a long time that Lord Lu is a talented man in Jiangnan and has a first-class literary talent. If the county school can be established, our Shatian County will have a few more talents, which will be of great honor to us!"

Kou Xiangwen's attitude turned 180 degrees. Without Lu Zheng taking the initiative, he took the initiative to express his attitude first. His attitude was very excited. In addition to being happy, he called Ren Jiagen over and said:

"Shopkeeper, arrange a big banquet tonight. Lord Lu and I were having a happy chat. I will not return until I am drunk today, haha..."

He laughed, and Ren Jiagen, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but shrink his head. You know, when Lu Zheng first entered Wanhe Tower, he almost knocked Lu Zheng out.

Because in the yard behind this, except for Wang Wenyuan and Kou Xiangwen, no one else could come in. Where can Lu Zheng be an exception?

However, Ren Jiagen can't twist his arm, and how could the few idle guys under his hands be compared to the masters trained in the capital such as A and B and Three?

Lu Zheng forced himself to sit in the yard. Ren Jiagen was afraid that Kou Xiangwen would curse people, so he was always nervous! Now that he saw that Kou Xiangwen was not only not angry, but also in a very good mood, he felt a little embarrassed when he faced it.

When he heard Kou Xiangwen called Lord Lu Zheng, he immediately understood that Lu Zheng was the newly appointed county magistrate of Shatian County. There were many rumors about this new official, and Ren Jiagen also heard about it, but he had never met Lu Zheng before.

He looked at Lu Zheng carefully and found that Lu Zheng was about the same age as his son. He was extremely shocked. Lu Zheng had become the county magistrate at such an age. His incompetent son could not even pass the exam for a scholar!

Although Ren Jiagen is doing business now, he is not a merchant. His ancestors are authentic farmers. Now he has bought a lot of land, but the money in the restaurant comes quickly and he can't get out.

Deep in his heart, he attached great importance to glorious family and glorious family members. Ren Jiagen has been in a life of no future and has fallen to the point of doing business. Can his son and grandson be as unpromising as him?

Therefore, Ren Jiagen has paid a lot of money to his descendants and has placed great hopes. However, he has been so distressed that he has been so tired of all these years. With this mentality, when he saw Lu Zheng so much, he really admired and envied him, and became extremely restrained for a moment.

He served carefully and stared at the kitchen carefully. Kou Xiangwen smiled and said, "Mr. Lu is still very good-looking. This old guy, Ren Jianguan, is a businessman, has a big temper! I and Wangxianzun have never encountered such courtesy before. When Lord Lu comes, he will look at him differently!"

He waved at Ren Jiagen and said, "Shopkeeper Ren, your kid has never met a famous teacher. Now Lord Lu is responsible for the county school. Please serve you well and let Lord Lu open your kid to the county school for further education. Maybe he can become a scholar!"

When Ren Jiagen heard this, he immediately said, "Lord Lu has a noble status. How dare we climb high in our small door? Besides, how can the county school be free to enter? No matter how little the young ones don't know the rules of being tall and rich!"

Kou Xiangwen was still waiting to say something, Lu Zheng said, "Okay, Lord Kou, the food and drinks are going to be cold. Let's eat and say, what you and I plan should be done sooner rather than later. We will prepare another table here in two days. I will ask my friends from Jiangnan to come together. Let's try to finalize this matter, okay?"

Kou Xiangwen stood up subconsciously, opened his mouth, and almost swallowed his tongue. He thought that this matter should not be realized for the time being and would have to wait for some time. Unexpectedly, Lu Zheng was so fast that he could finalize the matter in two days?

When he thought of this matter being done, he had no worries since then. He could make a name for himself in Liangzhou for the next two years. He couldn't help but feel excited. How could he eat this meal?
