    Xiao County. County residence. Tang Mansion.

    This courtyard with three entrances was originally the office of the former county magistrate of Xiao County, and it was a government office. However, since Tang Yaozu took office, he has made this place his own home, and even hung up the back door.  The plaque of the Tang Dynasty.

    On the Grand Master's chair in the middle hall of the main hall, Tang Yaozu was drinking tea and admiring the Hetian jade carving in his hand, with an expression of great enjoyment on his face.

    Since ancient times, people have been fond of the treasures and jade produced by nature. Westerners like diamonds and gemstones, while Easterners prefer jade and jade, and Hotan jade is precisely the favorite variety of Easterners.

    "Sir, it's just a jade carving. It makes you happy, okay?" The favored eighth aunt Tai Fenglian said while eating snacks.

    This Xiao Fenglian was Tang Yaozu's concubine who just married into the family last year. She was twenty-nine years old, and she was favored at the time. When he heard her speak, Tang Yaozu immediately smiled and said, "Haha, you don't understand this. This jade  It¡¯s not just jade, it¡¯s not just a plaything, it contains your virtue!¡±

    "I can just joke, is this jade just jade? How can it be the virtue of a gentleman?"

    "Haha, Guan Zhong said in the book "Guan Zi¡¤Chu": The reason why Fu Jade is noble is the nine virtues. Fu Jade is gentle and moist, which is benevolence; those who are close to others with reason are knowledgeable; strong but not frowning, it is righteousness;  To be honest but not pruned is to be honest; to be fresh but not dirty is to be clean; to be folded but not to be scratched is to be courageous; to see all the flaws is to be refined; to be lush and lustrous, and to be open but not tomb is to be graceful; when knocking, the sound is  The pure fighting spirit reaches far, the purity does not kill, and the word is also said. Therefore, the master of the people cherishes it, hides it as a room, engraves it as a symbol of auspiciousness, how can the nine virtues come out"

    Before she finished speaking, Xiao Fenglian said in a coquettish voice: "Master, you also know that I haven't read a book, and I can't understand a word of what you said!"

    "You, your short-sighted father has harmed you. Such a smart girl didn't send her to study, and now she can't even read a single Chinese character. What a pity!" Tang Yaozu said with a sigh.

    "You can't blame dad. Our family is poor and we don't even have enough to eat, so we still have money to go to school!"

    Tang Yaozu shook his head and said: "The meaning of what I just said is that a man named Guan Zhong said that jade is valuable because it shows nine virtues. It is gentle and shiny, representing benevolence; clear and rich  The texture represents wisdom; the hardness but not bending represents righteousness; the purity and integrity without hurting others represents integrity; the bright color and not easy to stain represents purity; the foldability but unyieldingness represents courage; jade¡¯s flaws and excellent texture are all reflected in  On the outside, it represents honesty; the beauty and luster penetrate each other without violating each other, which represents tolerance; when struck, the sound is clear and heard far away, pure but not chaotic, which represents orderliness. Therefore, the monarch always regards jade as very precious and collects it.  As a treasure, jade is polished into auspicious objects, and the nine virtues of jade are highlighted."

    "If you say this, I can understand it, but I can't see that this little jade has so many virtues!"

    "It's normal if you can't tell. Your master and I don't have any realm either!"

    "Hahaha, you are still looking at it so seriously. Do you think you can understand it?"

    "Haha, everyone who can see clearly is a gentleman. Your master is a traitor and a prostitute. If you can see this clearly, the reason why I can't help but take a few more glances is mainly because the identity of the person who gave this jade is unusual!  "Tang Yaozu said with a smile.

    "I see which Japanese is quite impressive. Is he a high official?" Xiao Fenglian asked.

    "The chief of staff of the 21st Division, do you think he is a senior official?"

    "What is a chief of staff? Is it bigger than you, the county magistrate?"

    "The chief of staff of the division is an officer with the rank of colonel. In big cities like Zaozhuang and Linyi, the highest officer in the garrison is just a colonel. In the eyes of others, I, the county magistrate, am just an old bastard.  Not worth mentioning at all!" Tang Yaozu said mockingly.

    Yes, the Japanese officer who gave him a gift today was none other than Masao Ishihara, the new chief of staff of the 21st Division of the Japanese Army in Xuzhou.

    Tang Yaozu had no impression of this new chief of staff, and even the new division commander of the 21st Division, Sakai Hoji, had limited understanding.

    But he knew that this person was not easy to mess with. Through some secret channels, he learned that Lieutenant General Sakai was also a ruthless man and had served as the brigade commander of Japan's first mechanized corps.

    After the July 7th Incident broke out, the Chahar Operation was carried out under the command of the Kwantung Army Chief of Staff Hideki Tojo. Because Tojo did not know much about tanks, he did not use tanks intensively. Instead, he dispersed the assault and caused great losses. He and Tojo  Tiao had a quarrel and was sent back to Manchuria.Such an officer who dares to directly contradict his immediate superior would actually send his chief of staff to wish him a birthday. This is really extraordinary. Although his nephew is the governor of Shandong Province, he can let such a lieutenant general and division commander  It's flattering to think so highly of him.

    Tang Yaozu himself knew that the reason why people valued him so much was not because of his own abilities, but because of his nephew's sake.

    I think that when Han Fuqu was in power, he was just a small security chief. He did some trivial things every day, and he was rarely seen even by the county magistrate.

    But since his nephew defected to the Japanese, their entire family's position in Shandong suddenly became very popular. Especially after his nephew became the governor of Shandong, the entire Tang family suddenly became more powerful.  Almost all grown men got a share of the fruits, and even an old man like him, who had his neck buried in loess, became a county magistrate.

    Since becoming the county magistrate, Tang Yaozu has been trying different ways to make money for himself!

    He knew clearly that he knew what he liked. When he was young, he was a good womanizer, but now that he was half dead, he was unable to deal with those young and beautiful girls, so since he married this little girl last year,  After that, Fenglian stopped thinking about women, and all she cared about was making money.

    Tang Yaozu still admires himself for making money, which can definitely be regarded as making money in a wise way.

    Originally, I wasn¡¯t turning 60 this year. I had already passed my 60th birthday three years ago. At that time, the Japanese hadn¡¯t invaded yet. I was just a small security guard, so not many people knew about it.  .

    But things are different now. He is not only the county magistrate of Xiao County, but also the uncle of Governor Tang. Governor Tang lost his father when he was young, and he single-handedly raised him up. To him, his second uncle, he is considered a relative.  According to Dad's view, some people are willing to curry favor with him.

    Therefore, Tang Yaozu needed a public reason to make money for himself, so he thought of celebrating his birthday.

    It¡¯s just that Tang Yaozu never thought that he was just trying to make money, so he even alerted Taijun Sakai in Xuzhou City, and even the chief of staff was sent to wish him a birthday.

    Thinking about it when the birthday banquet starts tomorrow night and the gift list of Sakai Dai-kun is read out in front of everyone, your jaw will definitely be dropped. The scene must be infinitely beautiful.

    Think again two years ago when the old man from the Ma family celebrated his 70th birthday, only one lieutenant was present, and he was now the one who stabilized the opponent.

    Thinking of this, Tang Yaozu couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Xiao Fenglian who was watching on the side looked sideways.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
