Chapter 98 Humility!

"Isn't that right? This is a serious dereliction of duty! We old guys don't need to say this kind of thing. As long as we pass on the news to them, they will be ashamed themselves, and we don't need to say it."

Hu Gong also echoed with a smile beside him.

Xue Zique, Wang Chong knew. This is the Minister of Finance in the court. Although he was called a "vampire" and scolded him for digging his stomach every day, thinking about how to collect food and taxes from the people to enrich the treasury, Wang Chong knew that this person was not bad and had no selfish intentions.

The taxes he collected were basically enriched into the national treasury. I have no corruption!

"Hahaha, Jiu Gong, Young Master Chong is smart and sharp. If it weren't for the prosperity of martial arts, following me would only waste his talent. Otherwise, I really want to bring him by my side!"

Elder Zhao looked at Wang Chong who was opposite him, his eyes were filled with strangeness. Jiu Gong, the youngest grandson, is really eye-catching. It is rare to have such a strategic vision in military affairs, but it is incredible that he has such a performance in finance and taxation.

"Hahaha, Lao Zhao, you don't have to think about this kind of thing. Jiugong has already agreed to let Master Chong follow me. You don't need to draw his attention!"

Ye Gong laughed and cursed at the side, and quickly asked him to dismiss it.

Jiugong has three sons and one daughter, four grandsons, two granddaughters, and a nephew. Among all of them, only the youngest "Master Chong" in front of him is the most eye-catching.

"Hahaha, you don't have to argue. This child is still young, and when he needs your help in the future, none of you are allowed to refuse!"

In the lobby, the old man was in a good mood, looking at a group of old brothers and subordinates, half joking, half commanding.

"Where is, where!"

The elders responded again and again, but they knew that although Jiu Gong was not sure about this young master Chong as the heir, he obviously had the intention of cultivating him.

"Gen'er, did you hear what you said just now? You are an important minister of the court, so you have to pay attention to this matter."

The old man turned his head to look at his uncle Wang Gen and said.

"Yes, father. I will definitely take care of this matter!"

Wang Gen responded.

The matter of "tariffs" is no small matter. To put it mildly, it involves the imperial finances, which is a huge tax. On a bigger scale, it involves military affairs, the peace of the empire, and the safety of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers on the battlefield!

If it hadn't been for the old man's birthday, he would return to the imperial court now and convene those colleagues to discuss. It's not just that they have a sense of justice, but that Wang Gen keenly senses that there is a great contribution in it!

Whoever signs on it will receive a share of the credit. Based on Wang Gen's experience, this kind of thing will definitely pass through as quickly as possible.

And more importantly, Wang Chong was only fifteen years old, so he couldn't receive this credit. And as the person in charge of this matter, he can definitely receive the biggest benefit!

This is definitely a highlight of his political resume. In the future, he will be promoted. This is his qualifications. It can be said that Wang Chong is giving him a great credit.

"By the way, Young Master Chong, why did you think of such things as tariffs?"

Ye Gong suddenly looked curious.

At Wang Chong's age, he was able to see things like the Eastern and Western Turkic Khanates in the north. It can also be said that he was the first general of the Wang family.

It's not surprising to have a talent for this.

But "tariff" is different, this cannot be explained by the word talent!

"Ha ha!"

Wang Chong couldn't help laughing when he heard this sentence. He said so much, just waiting for this sentence, "Seniors think highly of me. I don't have such abilities. In fact, this is the time I got it from my cousin. Listen!"

"what!"

A group of people were shocked and turned their heads to look at Wang Li opposite.

But Wang Li originally lowered his head, his face was ugly, and he was very depressed. But when he heard these words, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Wang Chong in disbelief.

"Hehehe, cousin, it seems that you have forgotten it yourself. I remember that after you said it at the time, you said something absurd, absurd, how is this possible? How could the ministers in the court listen to you? In the army, I’m afraid you have forgotten about this matter. However, I heard it and wrote it down. Hehe, cousin, didn’t you think of it?”

As Wang Chong spoke, he winked playfully at his cousin Wang Li.

The reason why Wang Chong said so much was not to show off in front of the elders. But to help his cousin Wang Li.

One life, two brothers, Wang Chong always believed that his cousin was not a bad person. Although he ran away from home in anger in his previous life and disappeared without a trace, when the Wang family was in trouble, he resolutely rushed back.

Wang Chong still remembers to this day that when the Wang family was in decline and he lived on the streets and was bullied like a wild dog, his cousin Wang Li showed up in time to fight those people, and when he was injured, he used his back to protect him. look at yourself. Although he said coldly "I'm not for you", "I just don't like those people" and so on.

But Wang Chong knew that he was here to save himself.

From that time on, Wang Chong knew that his cousin was a person with a cold face and a warm heart. No matter how difficult he is to get along with, and no matter how bad his temper is, it can't change the fact that both of them are descendants of the Wang family!

The "tariff" matter is not very beneficial to him, but Wang Chong knows that it is definitely beneficial to his cousin.

"Gen'er, is there such a thing?"

The first one to speak was none other than Wang Chong's uncle Wang Gen.

In the meeting hall, all the elders looked at Wang Li one after another.

"This……"

Wang Li also hesitated.

"Hahaha, cousin, you have forgotten. A few years ago, I went to see my cousin once, and then I ran into you by accident. You were sitting on the rockery alone to rest, talking to yourself one by one. Later You found me eavesdropping, and you were furious, saying that you would ban me from coming to your house in the future. Have you forgotten?"

Wang Chong said that his nose has eyes, and now even Wang Li was confused.

"Master Li, is this really the case?"

Several subordinates of the old man asked.

"This... seems to be there!"

Wang Li hesitated. Where does he remember what happened a few years ago? And he said so many things, how could he remember everything?

"Hehe, congratulations Jiugong, Young Master Li seems to be more talented in politics than in military affairs!"

Mr. Zhao suddenly raised his hand to the old man in the hall.

The eldest son of Jiugong, the eldest son Wang Gen is an important minister in the court, and he is very talented in politics. Young Master Li grew up in such an environment, he was influenced by his ears and eyes, and he was also influenced by the eldest son, taught by precepts and deeds, so it is not surprising that he has a talent in this area.

If the idea of ​​"tariff" was thought up by Young Master Li, then it would make sense.

"Mr. Li is indeed very talented in this area. If he can develop in the government, maybe he will catch up with the position of the eldest son in the future. It is not impossible for father and son to live together."

Other elders also echoed.

In the hall, the old man frowned and remained silent, his expression seemed to be moved. In fact, the eldest grandson Wang Li also showed this ability when he was young.

He has all these impressions.

It's just that later, Wang Gen insisted on sending him to the army. The old man has always seldom interfered in this matter. He himself has both civil and military skills, and it doesn't matter whether he pursues civil or martial arts, it's the same for him.

However, if this idea is really Wang Li's idea, then maybe Wang Li can really succeed his father and enter the court.

"I'll talk about this later. Li'er, you have to thank your cousin Wang Chong. If it wasn't for him, no one would know what you came up with."

The old man's words diverted everyone's attention to Wang Chong again.

"Not bad! Could it be that Young Master Chong is not greedy for merit at such a young age!"

"It's a good thing for the same clan to be humble to each other!"

"Master Chong can have this quality at such a young age, it is more precious than anything else!"

………

In the meeting hall, all the elders looked at Wang Chong and praised him one after another. The impression is better than before. In the family of a big family, the family relationship is weak, especially for this kind of general family, it is very rare to be able to give in to each other.

Wang Chong's humility and frank admission not only did not lower everyone's opinion of him, but on the contrary, they looked up to him even more.

"Master Chong, get closer in the future, get closer. Our Zhao family also has several mansions in the capital, so we might as well come and sit down more often, Young Master Chong."

Mr. Zhao present here, as well as several other seniors, extended invitations to Wang Chong.

Wang Chong originally had the opportunity to "greed for credit", if he didn't tell, no one would know. Whether in the imperial court or in the army, it is very common to be greedy for merit, even sitting in the position of an important court official, it is unavoidable.

If a person can not be greedy for merit and treat his subordinates fairly, he already has the leadership ability to be followed and convinced by a commander.

Back then, so many people followed Jiu Gong and set foot on the ground, even if it was a mountain of swords and a sea of ​​fire, they would not frown. This is one of the important reasons.

Wang Chong would never know that such a "little matter" had already made all the elders in the conference hall consider the possibility of letting him take over the old man and influence in the future.

Although it may not be able to take shape in the end, in the eyes of everyone, Jiu Gong, the youngest grandson, already has the potential to unite people and lead all of Jiu Gong's disciples.

——Even the gray-haired old subordinates in the hall who were the most silent and spoke the least began to consider this possibility.

Wang Chong smiled, but he felt that the attitude of the elders towards him seemed a bit strange, and he didn't think too much about other things. Cousin Wang Li's talent in court politics is indeed much stronger than his talent in military warfare.

Wang Chong firmly believed in this point.

Such talent should not be buried. Otherwise, it would be the loss of the cousin as well as the loss of the entire Wang family. Wang Chong believes that those who agree with him here today will definitely thank him and praise his vision in the future.

Next, Wang Chong sat quietly beside Ye Gong, without saying anything more. His performance is enough, too much is too much.

Wang Chong is not planning to "make a big splash" in the future. After all, this is an opportunity for Grandpa and his old subordinates to renew their brotherhood!

According to this trend, Huangfu probably knelt down at night, and silently replied to the message back to death. TT, but thanks for the enthusiasm of the brothers, Huangfu and I will finish the answer. Although it may be just an emoticon pack, please believe that Huangfu will definitely lose one by one! 】
