She had just become an official, and she had the reputation of being the number one scholar. How many officials in the capital wanted to see her joke. As soon as she came, she used her power to squeeze out the colleagues who came here first to serve as officials, and the public opinion would definitely be very unpleasant.

There is no official who does not make money for himself, but there are more or less problems. Officials with clean sleeves are rare.

In her eyes, the behavior of Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang was corrupt officials, but to other officials, it was normal.

Even if she found evidence of their corruption and bribery from the accounts and presented it to the emperor to remove them from their posts, the officials in the court would not say good things to her. Maybe Xiao Ge would blame her for being troublesome.

As the emperor, didn't Xiao Ge know that the officials below him would fish for money? But when the water was clear, there would be no fish. As long as it was not greedy and there were no complaints, he would have to turn a blind eye.

Since Liu Hongyu was evaluated by Xiao Lingyan as a good and upright official and capable, he would never tolerate Liu Hongyu and Chen Kang's corruption in salt and grain.

And with everyone's acquiescence, she brought this matter out and pulled Cai Yaozong down. Other officials in the court were afraid that everyone would be in danger. From now on, wherever she goes as an official, she will be disliked by others, for fear that she will make another mistake.

Colleagues dismounted.

Her moral character has not yet reached that level, and she wants to be a "direct minister" who is the enemy of the entire court officials. She understands the hard times and hard times. She cherishes her life very much.

So if Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang are sincere, she will take a step back and the world will be brighter.

"No problem." Gan Lun said, "I just told you how to do accounting some time ago. Let's take this opportunity to review what we have said."

Zhao Ruxi looked at him and smiled: "Thank you, Master."

The three old men Kang Shilin and Xiao Ruotong were all older. The Zhu family did not avoid suspicion and now also received them in the main hall of the outer courtyard.

Zhao Ruxi ordered people to bring Cai Yaozong and Chen Kang to the side hall, then handed Kang Shilin and the others to Zhu's reception, and went to the side hall himself.

When she got there, she first apologized: "There are guests at home, and I have kept Mr. Cai and Chen Jingcheng waiting for a long time. I wonder what you want to do when you come to see me?"

"When Mr. Kumu and the others came, Chen Kang and I were working outside, so we were unable to say hello to Mr. Kumu and the others. Instead, we brought some Nanyang earthen rituals from home to give Mr. Kumu and the others a taste and to express our feelings.

." Cai Yaozong pointed to some earthen rituals brought by Chen Kang.

Chen Kang couldn't help but curse secretly in his heart.

These things were all brought by him on his way here. Cai Yaozong came home empty-handed, and now he takes his things as his own and treats them as his things as a favor. It's simply too stinking.

Shameless.

However, the two of them had not yet broken up, and their status was not unequal. He could not directly refute Cai Yaozong, but he was not someone who could bear the disadvantage of being dumb. He raised his face and said with a smile: "Yes."

He pointed at the two jars of wine and said: "This is the unique yellow wine here. It is sweet, fragrant, mellow and refreshing. It is a rare good wine. Mr. Zhao must let Mr. Kumu and the others try it."

He then pointed to a bag weighing twenty kilograms and said: "This is the Osmanthus fragrant glutinous rice and small red glutinous rice that are unique to us here. They are the best for making glutinous rice food and the best for making wine. These are the two jars of yellow rice wine."

Made from glutinous rice."

"This is Nanyang's unique river crab. Although this season is not the most fertile, it still allows Mr. Kumu and the others to have a try."

He introduced several earth rituals one by one.

Although these things were brought by servants, he specifically asked for them by name. Chen Kang was able to run such a large business in Nanyang with an educational level that only knew a few words, and he accepted both black and white.

He is unique in both his abilities and his conduct as a person.

The earthen rituals he prepared are not worth much money, but they can make people feel the care and thought of those who prepared them.

Precisely because it was worthless, it was difficult for Zhao Ruxi to refuse. As long as she accepted the gift, the relationship between him and Zhao Ruxi changed from the original tense situation to a gentle one.

If this happens several times in the future, and he provides Zhao Ruxi with some conveniences in official matters, the relationship between the two parties will become closer and closer. Even if they cannot cooperate, with such a friendship, Zhao Ruxi will not do anything to him if he really wants to liquidate in the future.

He killed them all.

At the same time, just because these things were carefully prepared as small gifts and not valuable, they could not have been prepared by him and Cai Yaozong together. After his explanation, as long as Zhao Ruxi is smart, he must know what happened just now.

Zhao Ruxi listened to Chen Kang introducing these earthly rituals in detail, while Cai Yaozong's face became darker and darker. How could she not know the fishy relationship between the two?

But her mind was no longer on the two people's minds and these things.

Judging from the distance between Nanyang, the capital, and Suzhou, she vaguely felt that Nanyang was a bit like modern Danyang; and Linjiang, where Wu Zong served, was similar to modern Zhenjiang in terms of geographical location. But the two time and space are different.

, this was just her guess without any evidence. Now that she heard Chen Kang count the local specialties, she was even more sure of her guess.

As an official, no matter how long she works, she wants to make some political achievements.

Compared with the performance of an official in ancient times, although there is no clear index like chicken drop fart, the requirements are basically the same. The ability of an official is measured by the growth of local economy and the amount of taxes paid to the court, rather than by "playing"

The trick "The Ten Thousand People's Umbrella" is used as a standard.

But she walked around the streets a few times a few days ago, and went to the fields and villages outside the city. She didn't gain much, and she had no idea how to improve the local economy.

Now that Chen Kang said this, after she confirmed that this was Danyang, she had some ideas on how to develop Nanyang.

Whether this idea can be implemented or not, she needs to investigate further.

"This rice wine has been highly praised by Chen Jingcheng, which shows that it is really good. It just so happens that my master, Master Gan, and Mr. Zhou like to have a few drinks while eating, so I will let them try it later. If they like it, please tell me about it."

Where did you buy it? I plan to buy some and send them to the capital as gifts." Zhao Ruxi said.

When Chen Kang heard this, he knew that Zhao Ruxi understood the origin of these gifts. He breathed a sigh of relief and became happy in his heart.

He was most worried that this noble lady was so arrogant that they could not find a common topic between them. No matter how hard he tried, the relationship between them might not get better.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Ruxi was so down-to-earth that she accepted his favor directly and expressed her willingness to have further contact.
