Han Xiufeng didn't know what the old man in Ba County was busy with, Guo Daren had sent an official document through the post shop, saying that he had inspected the Huainan fields, and then he was going to inspect Fu'an, Anfeng and Liang Duo and other Huaizhong eleven fields, and the official ship would pass through Hai'an in a few days, and the matter of privately minting copper coins could not be without eyebrows at all, not only did he not care about what the old man was busy with, but he didn't even have the time to accompany Fugui and Jinghua who came from afar.

Zhang Guangcheng and Pan Er have been sending a lot of books these days, but consulting and reading are two different things, so many people flip through books together, ten lines at a glance, and soon they are almost over, but they don't have a clue.

Just when Han Xiufeng was at a loss, the Baojia Bureau sent more than 100 copper coins that the young and strong men had collected in the past few days. Not only are there a few "Yongkuan Tongbao" sent by Guo Daren with the letter before, but the rest are all "Kuanyong Tongbao", judging from the size, coin color and the pattern on the back, it should come from the same place.

Forever wide, wide and ever......

Han Xiufeng was confused, so he just sat in the courtyard in a daze.

Many books were already moldy, Ren Yuer took out all the moldy ones to dry, opened those with rotten covers and back covers, and replaced them with new ones. Cuihua worked and helped with the binding, and the two of them were busy in the yard.

"Master Han, I went to buy thread on the street just now, and I heard my dad say that the rich man and Jing Ye from Beijing were eating wine at Dean Gu's."

"Really?" Han Xiufeng closed his eyes and said absentmindedly perfunctorily.

Cuihua snickered: "What are you lying to do, my dad said that they can not only drink but also be able to drink, with half a catty of pig's head meat and a plate of peanuts can drink for half a day, Dean Gu was willing to accompany them to drink at first, but then he couldn't afford it, so he asked Master Li to accompany them to drink, and Master Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he called Wang Ruhai's second child to accompany them to drink." ”

Han Xiufeng secretly smiled as long as there is wine and meat, they are willing to drink for ten days and half a month, because they lived this kind of idle life when they were in the capital, and they didn't know what to say, Ren Yu'er asked curiously: "Fourth brother, is that Jing Ye really a royal nobleman?" ”

"This can still be fake."

"But I don't look like it."

"So people can't be good-looking," Han Xiufeng opened his eyes, sat up and said with a smile: "His ancestor is the seventh son of the great grandfather Nurhachi, Abatai, their luck has never been good, because of his background, Abatai was not killed by Prince Rao Yu until he died, and then one generation is not as good as the next, and in his life, he can't even eat." ”

"How can it be that you can't even eat, and the emperor doesn't care about them?"

"The emperor wants to manage it, but there are too many idle clans like him, and there are too many to manage it. In fact, the imperial court still treats them very preferentially, such as the township examination, and specially opens a subject for these clans. People have to take several exams, they only need to take one exam, and it is one out of ten, as long as the article is barely passable, they can win the Chinese or even Chinese. Not only the Zongren Mansion and the Internal Affairs Office, but even the six ministries have left them with a lack of clans, but it is a pity that they are above the top, looking down on Han officials, and even looking down on other full members, anyway, they don't want to study, and they don't have a chance to give them. ”

"How do you live then?"

"Give them some money every year, and that little money is not enough to feed the whole family, and as soon as they receive the money, they go to spend all day drinking, so one is worse than the other. However, compared to other idle clans, Jinghua is still competitive, at least he knows how to find an errand in Beijing and earn some money to support his family. Han Xiufeng thought about it and said, "It should have been scolded by his brother-in-law." ”

"The rich man?"

"Well, among those Eight Banners disciples in the capital, the rich and noble are calculated."

"Is the rich master a clan?"

"Fugui is not, you have never been to the capital, if you have the opportunity to go to the capital to see, you will know how many clans like Jinghua there are."

Ren Yu'er was about to ask Jinghua why he could only be an official above the fourth grade, Gu Jinyan coughed dryly, and led Su Jueming, who was scruffy and dirty, into the courtyard.

Without waiting for them to speak, Han Xiufeng raised his head and said, "Yu'er, Cuihua, you go out for a walk first." ”

"Oh, okay." Ren Yu'er realized that he had something to say to Gu Jinyan and Su Jueming, so she hurriedly put down the book in her hand and walked out of the courtyard with Cuihua.

"Master Han, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore!"

"Did you know wrong?"

"Yes." Su Jueming knelt on the ground and said pitifully.

"Hold out your hand and let me see." Han Xiufeng said in a low voice.

"Dirty, I didn't care about washing."

"I've grinded a few bubbles, and I don't seem to be lazy." Han Xiufeng motioned for him to stand up, stared at his eyes and said, "Since you know that you are wrong, you don't need to work for a month." ”

"Master Xie Han ......"

"Listen to me," Han Xiufeng glared at him and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that there are two guests from the capital?" ”

Su Jueming was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I know, I've seen it, they went to Zhongbakou in the morning, and they had a family affair with the two committee members who drew the room for nearly half an hour. ”

"One of them will return to Taizhou tomorrow, and the other will not leave, but I plan to wait for Lord Guo to pass by Hai'an in two days to help him find an errand. He is a newcomer, he is not familiar with the place, and there can be no one around him, you go to take a shower first, shave your face clean, change into clean clothes, and when you clean up, you will go to the Baojia Bureau to find him, and then follow him. ”

"Master Han, you don't want me anymore?"

"Who said no, I asked you to go to his side on an errand."

"Which one of them, two guests?"

"The thin one, named Jinghua."

Su Jueming was confused, and couldn't help asking: "But he doesn't seem to be even an official, what errand can I do?" ”

Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "Not now, it will be soon, there is no need to hide it from you, I plan to ask Lord Guo to promote him as the director of the salt fishing camp, and when he is not an official, he will not need people around him." ”

"Master Han, what are you kidding, just like him, can be the capital of the salt fishing camp?"

"People are clans, they are royal nobles, if it is really about seniority, the emperor now has to call him uncle, why can't he be the capital?" Han Xiufeng asked rhetorically, and continued: "What's more, the lack of the salt fishing camp capital division can't always be empty, now that there are so many Han officials, it is not appropriate to promote Han officials to be the capital division, if he is not allowed to fill this shortage, it won't be long before the imperial court will send a capital division." Instead of coming to someone who doesn't know the bottom or is even unreliable, it's better to let him do it. ”

Su Jueming reacted and couldn't help laughing: "Master Han, don't worry, as long as I am here, Baozheng will not dare to play tricks!" ”

"Where do you want to go, am I worried about him playing tricks, what about Zheng Sipin, Zheng Sipin is the same military attaché, and he has to kneel down when he sees me. Besides, I know very well what kind of person he is, and he won't play tricks on me who he plays tricks with. ”

"And what do you mean?"

"I'm worried that he's in trouble, and I want you to help me keep an eye on him, reminding him what he can and can't do. Who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked! ”

"Yes, I know what to do."

"Go ahead, go clean up."

Sending Su Jueming away, Han Xiufeng was about to pick up the copper coins on the ground, and found that there was a copy of "The Essentials of the Curtain" and a "The Essentials of the Torture Curtain" in the books that were being dried. I thought that this was a book that I couldn't buy when I wanted to buy it in my hometown, and those masters wouldn't easily show such a book for fear of being robbed of their jobs, and they couldn't help but light up in their eyes.

"Yu'er, Yu'er!"

"Fourth brother, what's the matter?"

"Help my brother write a letter to Zhang Guangcheng, saying that I want to invite a friend who is proficient in criminal names, 100,000 urgent, please help him find it quickly."

"Okay, I'll write it."

Han Xiufeng followed but threw away the copper coin thoughtfully, and said with a smile as he walked out of the courtyard: "Think about how stupid I am, I have already been a deputy from the fifth grade, and I also treat myself as a nine-grade sesame official, and I will do it myself when I encounter something." ”

"Fourth brother, do you mean that the criminal master knows how to check?" Ren Yu'er subconsciously turned around and asked.

"That's what people eat, you don't know if they know." Han Xiufeng smiled and said, "Actually, I don't need to invite the famous master, but Master Guo can't help but invite one." ”

"Isn't that Mr. Zhou the master before?"

"Mr. Zhou has been a friend of others, and he has been a friend for many years, but he is not proficient in criminal names, and he is good at strategy, and if he is unpleasant, he is proficient in those bends and bends in officialdom. Not to mention the name of the sentence, I'm afraid that even Qian Gu can't do it. ”

Seeing his confident appearance, Ren Yu'er sneered: "Fourth brother, you really know how to make good use of people." ”
