Now that I have a considerable amount of money in hand, I need to make good use of it.
Having acquired so much money this time, I must spend it all within a short period; otherwise, it might raise suspicions.
After some thought, I decided to use the excess money to establish connections.
I have always believed in the principle that money can make things happen, and this time I want to utilize this money to smooth out relationships within the Southern River Military Affairs Office, making future dealings easier.
I first set my sights on the internal departments.
The person delivering messages is Zhao Guinian, who does not get along with me, so I do not plan to spend too much on him.
The Captain of the First Department is Zhang Laoba, and our relationship is fairly good. I plan to give him one thousand taels of silver to strengthen our bond.
The Captain of the Second Department is Liu Weiyi, who has a good relationship with Li Dangshi. For now, I do not intend to get involved with him.
The Captain of the Third Department is Xu Fengsheng. Our relationship is average, but he enjoys refined tastes. I plan to gift him a can of high-quality Longjing tea; I believe he will appreciate it.
In addition to the three Captains, there are several commanders in the Courier Camp whom I also intend to give gifts.
After some consideration, I wrote a note to Mou Xiaoning, asking him to buy some fine Longjing tea and then distribute it to the three Captains and four commanders.
After receiving the tea, Xu Renji specifically sent me a message praising my taste.
I smiled and thought to myself, what does this little money matter? As long as I can build good relationships, that's more important than anything else.
In addition to the Courier Camp, I also planned to visit the leader of the Discipline Camp, Murong Jue.
He knew that Murong Jue was very important because he was in charge of assessments. If I offended him, there would definitely be no good outcome.
I specifically bought a silver note worth two hundred taels, placed it in an envelope, and then brought the envelope to the Inspection Division.
Murong Jue was a middle-aged man in his forties, thin and small in stature, looking quite refined.
When he saw me visiting, he smiled and said, "Ah, it's Yifan. What brings you here today?"
I replied with a smile, "Lord Murong, I came specially to pay my respects to you."
Murong Jue was taken aback. "Oh? Do you have something to discuss?"
I took out the envelope and smiled, "Lord Murong, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please accept it."
Murong Jue took the envelope and opened it, startled.
Looking at me, Murong Jue smiled and said, "Oh dear, Yifan! You are being too formal! We are both officials in the same court; we should look out for each other. By doing this, aren't you being too distant?"
I smiled and said, "Lord Murong, I am new to Nanjiang and don't understand many of the rules. I hope you can guide me."
Murong Jue patted his shoulder and laughed, "Well said! Well said!"
He put away the envelope and said, "Yifan, you did an excellent job on this mission. I plan to give you a merit during the evaluation."
I felt a surge of joy in my heart and replied, "Thank you so much!"
Although Murong Jue held a minor official position, he wielded significant power and was notorious for being corrupt. If he wanted to target someone, he had plenty of ways to do so.
The reason I came to see him today was to seek his help in dealing with Li Dangshi.
Murong Jue tucked the envelope away and smiled, "Yifan, you just mentioned that you have something you need my assistance with. What is it?"
I sighed and said, "Lord Murong, to be honest, I have some conflicts with Li Dangshi."
