    Fang Jinshi took Deng An back to Jinxian Village and sat in the room in a daze. Deng An stepped forward cautiously and said, "Master, can you believe what Old Wei said?"

    Fang Jinshi finally came back to his senses and said, "What do you think?"

    Deng An said: "I think there is no need for him to lie about this matter. Wang Gui might have known what Qu Laosan was doing, but he didn't tell the young master. This person is not trustworthy."

    Fang Jinshi said: "Then this person is no longer available."

    Deng An said: "It will never be used. I am also greedy for money, but I will never accept the master's money while secretly helping the master's enemies. This is a great injustice. How can such a person be used?"

    Fang Jinshi sat up straight and said slowly: "Now we are weak. If we can have one more person, we will have more strength. How can there be many capable and capable gentlemen in the world for us to use? Besides, for some things, a gentleman is  To accomplish great things that cannot be done, both good people and bad people must be used. It depends on how you think about it.¡±

    Deng An hummed obediently and said, "Young Master is absolutely right."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I see that when you were working as a yamen servant in Roufu County, you must have done a lot of unjust things, but now you are talking about others."

    Deng An quickly said: "I I have always been responsible for my duties, otherwise the government officials in the third class would not exclude me."

    Fang Jinshi made up his mind and said to Deng An: "Go and get a hundred coins from the account, and then go find Wang Gui to see me."

    Deng An turned around and went out to get some Song coins and loose silver for him. He gathered them together into a hundred coins, put them in a cloth bag, and put them on the table in front of him. Then he went out to find Wang Gui. After more than half an hour,  Wang Gui came to him.

    Fang Jinshi saw that he was wearing new clothes and shoes today, so he smiled and asked, "Are you happy today?"

    Wang Gui looked at his clothes and said, "No, my cousin has a shop open, I'm just going to open it."

    Fang Jinshi said: "It can be considered a happy event."

    Wang Guidao: "It's not thanks to you, Master, that my brother Wang Diao'er followed the Master's instructions and used the rice from Champa as grain seeds and leased it to farmers in the countryside. Not only did he get benefits, but he also won a reputation. He made the Master known to everyone he met.  Woolen cloth."

    Fang Jinshi said: "I almost forgot what I said. Go back and tell him that the grains you lease to rural farmers must be paid in full. Don't let your good deeds get a bad name."

    Wang Guidao: "I remember, I will tell my cousin when I get back."

    Fang Jinshi nodded and gave Wang Gui the hundred coins in front of him. However, the money was too heavy and could not be pushed. He said to Wang Gui: "Last time you found Wei Chong for me, I even paid for the carriage and horse."  I never gave it to you, but now I¡¯m giving it to you along with the reward, so don¡¯t think it¡¯s too little.¡±

    Wang Gui saw the many copper coins in front of him and immediately said with a smile on his face: "To serve the young master, you need to pay for the carriage and horse. It's not that I don't think it is too little, but the young master gave you a little too much."

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's not much. If you help me, I should give it to you."

    Wang Gui bowed and saluted him and said, "Then I'll be disrespectful and thank you for the gift." After saying that, he walked forward, picked up the bag and put it at his feet.

    Fang Jinshi said: "Do you think this is good? If I ask you for help in the future, I will pay you this amount. There are so many easy things. Is it difficult? Let's discuss it later. What do you think?"

    Wang Gui did not answer. Fang Jinshi looked at him quietly, waiting for him to speak. You must know that there is another meaning behind his words, that is, if he does not ask Wang Gui to do anything in the future, it will be equivalent to using this hundred coins to  He sent, Wang Gui is a smart man, he can tell immediately.

    Wang Gui hesitated for a moment and then said: "How can I pay you every time when I'm doing things for you? If you find it inconvenient for me not to be around, I will come here every day from tomorrow on."

    Fang Jinshi saw what he said and knew that he was a sensible person, so he said to him: "You must also know that in this Sihai company, I don't have much real power in my hands, but I am just begging for food from others.  And it can also be kicked away at any time. Firstly, I want to find a few trustworthy friends to help me do things. Secondly, if someone kicks me away and it affects others, then I will be sorry for my friends. You  Let¡¯s go back and think about it carefully to see if it¡¯s worth betting on me.¡±

    Wang Guidao: "Young master, you are serious."

    Fang Jinshi said: "It's not just words, it's the truth. No matter how you decide, I'm optimistic about the consequences."

    Wang Gui pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I will go back and think about the young master's teachings, and I will reply to the young master the next day." Fang Jinshi nodded silently, and Wang Gui picked up the heavy bag and went out.

    Deng An saw him leaving, walked in and said, "How is it?"

    Fang Jinshi said: "If he can seeIf you understand clearly, you know what you should do. If you don't understand, it's okay for people like this to not use it.  "

    Deng An was confused after hearing this. He paused for a moment and then said: "Young Master's words are getting more and more incomprehensible, making it difficult for people to understand."

    Fang Jinshi laughed and didn't explain too much to him. He felt more and more that he had a heavy responsibility. He could no longer have simple and childish ideas like before. He gradually understood that only by giving up can you gain something. You must not  Treating others as fools, although he has King Yun as his backer, when it comes to actually doing things, he can only rely on himself.

    If you want to do big things, you must have capable talents to do it. Fang Jinshi deeply felt that in this situation, having your own group of people is more important than getting money. Having people to support you is the most important thing, but  Great things can't be accomplished just by relying on people like Shopkeeper Deng Anhu.

    Fang Jinshi sat for a while, bored, and remembered the letter written by Liang Cuirong. Cai An, a relative of Cai You's family who was his childhood companion, is now serving as the general magistrate of Pingjiang Prefecture. It is better to visit this person. In the future, many official figures will help.  .

    Thinking of this, Fang Jinshi asked Deng An to prepare a generous gift and ask someone to find out if Cai Tongpan was at home today and where his home was. He reported back that Cai Tongpan happened to be relaxing at home. Fang Jinshi became energetic and called up.  Shi Hao went to Cai Ang's home together.

    Since Shi Hao came to Jinxianzhuang to help, he has quickly integrated into the team of Jinxianzhuang. Although he is a scholar, he is not rigid about trivial matters. What is rare is that he does not pretend to be a scholar at all. Fang Jinshi nodded in approval.  He always liked to take Shi Hao with him when he visited literati and dignitaries.

    Cai Ang lived in the west of the city. When they came to the gate of Cai's Mansion, Fang Jinshi asked the door attendant to send him a greeting card. Not long after, a steward greeted them inside and took them into a side hall to serve tea. He said that today, Xiong was in the main hall of Pingjiang Mansion.  The magistrate came to visit him. Cai Tongpan was talking to magistrate Xiong and asked him to wait.

    Fang Jinshi, the prefect of Xiong, has been told by people before that his surname is Xiong Mingche. He was transferred from Bianliang in the capital and has been the prefect of Pingjiang for two years. He is a low-key man and does not like to have too much contact with dignitaries in the city.

    In this case, Fang Jinshi had no choice but to wait. Fortunately, the tea in Cai Mansion was good. He sat down and waited for a long time, but no one from the housekeeper came to tell Cai Tongpan when he would be free. Fang Jinshi just wanted to ask someone in the mansion.  , only hearing the sound of children playing at the door, Shi Hao turned his head to look, only to see a black thing coming towards him, hitting him in the forehead. The thing bounced and fell to the ground.

    Fang Jinshi lowered his head to look at the dropped object. It turned out to be a Cuju ball. Shi Hao was hit hard by this blow. He covered his forehead and looked intently. Two boys, one big and one one small, came to the door. These two boys  They were quite big. The older one looked to be about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was about eleven or twelve years old. Both of them had sweaty faces and a lot of dust and water stains on their clothes.

    The two boys rushed over to grab the ball on the ground. Shi Hao was closer and picked it up first, holding it high above his head. The older boy said, "Give it back to me."

    Shi Hao said: "You hurt someone while playing. You should apologize to others. The Master said that harmony is the most important thing in etiquette. This is the gift of a saint." He was hanging school bags from the two children. The younger boy  Suddenly, he pounced on him and grabbed his arm with both hands to grab the ball. Shi Hao dodged to prevent him from grabbing the ball. The older boy sneaked around behind him, jumped up and slapped his arm.  , knocked the ball down, and then the smaller boy grabbed the ball on the ground, ran to the door, made a face, and went quickly.

    Shi Hao couldn't help being furious. He was also a young man. He grabbed the arm of the older boy who was about to run away and said angrily: "Why are you so rude?" The boy didn't say anything and struggled to get away.  , Shi Hao was older and taller than him. The boy couldn't get away for a long time, so he kicked him.

    Fang Jinshi looked really embarrassed. This is Cai An's mansion. Besides, adults can't interact with children in the same way. Although the two boys looked really old, he came over and said: "Forget it, forget it.  , don¡¯t make trouble with him.¡±

    Shi Hao's anger subsided a little and he let go of the boy's hand. Unexpectedly, the boy quickly stepped on Shi Hao's foot and ran away quickly.

    Shi Hao was in pain and angry, and Fang Jinshi quickly tried to persuade him. Shi Hao said, "I know this is Cai Mansion. If we meet him in the countryside, I must" He did not continue, and someone at the door said, "If we meet him in the countryside,  , what are you doing?"

    While they were talking, several people walked in quickly from the door. The current person looked to be in his forties, thin and frail. He was wearing a Confucian shirt, but he did not conceal his official power. He was followed by a slightly fatter man, and then another.  It's the housekeeper of the Cai Mansion.

    When Shi Hao saw it, he stayed there and did not dare to speak. Fang Jinshi hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I just said it casually. He followed me here. IfPlease forgive me for any inappropriate remarks.  "

    The thin man looked at Fang Jinshi, and the housekeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said, "He is Fang Jinshi from Sihai Trading Company."

    The man nodded, and the housekeeper said to Fang Jinshi: "This is Magistrate Xiong, and this is my master."

    Fang Jinshi saluted again and said, "I've seen Magistrate Xiong, don't leave Cai."

    Magistrate Xiong Che walked to the seat and sat down, then said to Fang Jinshi and Shi Hao, who were still bending down to salute, "No need to salute, I know you."

    Fang Jinshi stepped forward and said, "Prefect Xiong knows about Xiao Ke? I'm really not proud of you."

    Magistrate Xiong said: "You have only been in Pingjiang Prefecture for a short time, but you have already made the people of Pingjiang Prefecture know you, Mr. Fang. I, the prefect of Pingjiang, don't know about you. How could I not know about you?" What he said was very rude, and Fang Jinshi said it  Stunned, he had no idea when or where he had offended this prefect, and he had never seen this person in his memory.

    " If it was because the two boys were playing around just now, but it didn't look like him. He, a great Song Quan who knew the affairs of Pingjiang Mansion, would never be so childish
