It has been a while since Guan Xiaohu came back with Gu Tenon and Zheng Yuanbao.

The three of them were in vain in the years of the patrol camp, and even the most honest Zheng Yuanbao saved more than 1,000 taels, so as soon as they returned home, they worshiped their ancestors, and after sacrificing their ancestors, they set up a flowing water banquet for two days, feasted relatives, friends and neighbors, and then rebuilt the family's house.

But Guan Bantou, Gu Shopkeeper, and Zheng Shopkeeper were very unhappy, thinking that the few juniors who went out together were all officials outside, and the three of them ran back, they felt that the three of them were not angry, and even felt that they would not be able to raise their heads in front of Duan Jiqing, Wang Zaishan and others in the future. Not only did he not give the three stinky boys a good look, but he also scolded them for being useless when something didn't go his way.

Guan Xiaohu is outside, he doesn't dare to play tricks with Lao Tzu at home, and if he is not careful, he will be scolded by Guan Bantou for a bloody sprinkler, and he feels that he can't stay at that home, so he simply packed up a few changes of clothes, and moved to the Huguang Hall with Gu Jiu and Zheng Yuanbao, and ran errands for Pan Er, no matter how his wife and mother-in-law persuaded him, he just didn't go home!

Pan Er returned to the hall after a busy day, and saw Guan Xiaohu's mother-in-law holding the baby again, blocking the door of the hall and crying, making it seem like there was a big grievance, and hurriedly asked the family to go to the "Feng Zhengdi" at the back of the hall to ask Qin'er to come and coax them away, and then found the three people who were playing cards with Guan Yunzhong, the guest chief of Shaanxi, in the flower hall, and asked with a gloomy face: "Xiaohu, your mother-in-law is crying and crying at the door with the baby, did you really not hear it or did you not hear it?" ”

Guan Xiaohu didn't dare to talk to Pan Eryou, and hurriedly threw down the card: "Brother Changsheng, I heard it, and I went out to persuade her, but she just won't go back, I can't beat her in front of so many people." ”

"Beat your mother-in-law, you have a long ability, why don't you ask someone to write a letter and repair the book, and leave your mother-in-law?"

"Brother Changsheng, you don't know my father's stinky temper, didn't I go back to find a scolding!"

"If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place!"

"We came back because the fourth brother nodded......"

When Pan Er mentioned this, he became angry, stared at him and asked: "Then why didn't you say that the fourth brother asked you to come back when you got home, if it was the fourth brother who asked you to come back, how could there be so many things?" ”

"How did you think of these ...... at that time?"

"Forget it, I'll go back and help you beg Duan Jingcheng, as long as Duan Jingcheng is willing to come forward, your father shouldn't say anything more." Pan Er didn't bother to care about his affairs anymore, and then turned around and said: "Mr. Guan, I thought about it last night, and it is better to ask the merchants of the eight provinces to report donations to the state capitals of Sichuan. Guizhou, Yunnan and Shaanxi provinces can do it first, but the merchants who handle it must first take the silver to receive the ministry license. ”

Handling donations is like doing business, as long as the "good quality and low price" this business will be better and better.

In the past two months, more than 1,800 people have come to donate civil and military supervisors, top belts, flower feathers, blue feathers and graces! In addition to the donations that should be handed over to the treasury of the household department, each office charged five taels of public silver, and Duan Jiqing and Wang Zaishan handled the donations of local handsome people, and they were very busy and made a lot of money.

Guan Yunzhong looked envious, and proposed to convene a few big business agents to make this business bigger, seeing that Pan Er was not allowed to collect donations in this province, he asked puzzledly: "Master Pan, you can help Lord Hu raise money, why do you want to go far?" ”

"The rabbit still doesn't eat the grass next to the nest, and if you do it like now, everyone will come here to report the donation, and don't go to the county government. At that time, the county magistrate and Futai will not be able to keep up with Shangfeng, and we have no choice, so we can only send donations. Looking at Guan Yunzhong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Pan Er continued: "In order to keep up with the boss, the county master has already asked the master to draw up a charter, and intends to start from the pawnshop to persuade donations. For those who are more physiological, there are two students in each donor prison, and the notices have been posted. ”

"This is a solicitation, this is clearly a solicitation!"

"The imperial court has no choice but to donate to the case, if we always dig into the corners of local officials, it is likely that they will be forced to send servants to ten miles and eight towns to collect donations by household, and then the unlucky ones will be the hometown fathers."

"Isn't it?? Donations, how do you deal with Lord Hu? ”

"We have raised more than 100,000 taels, which is more than the General Bureau in Wuchang. Stop for a while, let the merchants and people recuperate, Lord Hu should not be blamed. ”

"You're saying wait a while to collect donations?"

Pan Er didn't want to harm his hometown fathers, so he said lightly: "Even if you collect donations after a while, you can't do it like now." In the future, there must be a fixed number of how much to collect, and our branch will raise 10,000 taels a month, and 120,000 taels a year. ”

……

At the same time, Wang Jiabi, the general office of the Hubei Donation and Transportation Bureau, was reporting to Hu Linyi, the governor of Hubei.

Confirming that the sum of the province's centimetres and donations in the past two months is not as much as Pan Er's, Hu Linyi sighed: "Pan Changsheng has only been back in Ba County for a few days, and he has raised 150,000 taels, Sichuan is really rich!" ”

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be called the land of abundance." Wang Jiabi smiled, and then said: "The two assistant committee members who went to Ba County to set up a bureau to collect donations said that Pan Changsheng is not only diligent, but also honest and honest. ”

"So Han Xiufeng actually recommended a capable official to us?"

"I'm not afraid of Zhongcheng's jokes, I was really a little worried about this Pan Changsheng at first, but now I think about it as a villain."

"It's right if you don't worry, they all say that there is no doubt about employing people, and there is no doubt about employing people, which means knowing the roots. Like Pan Changsheng, who can rest assured if he doesn't stare at the point. Hu Linyi smiled, and then turned out an official document from the official case: "Han Xiufeng sent us another person, also surnamed Han, called Han Bo." However, this Han Bo is different from Pan Changsheng, it is not Han Xiufeng who wants to send it himself, but Su Shun's faction. ”

"What did Lord Sushun ask Han Xiufeng to send this Han Bo for?" Wang Jiabi asked subconsciously.

"I came to help deliver the news, Wen Zhongtang is gone, and now the only ones who can help us talk are Su Shun and Han Xiufeng." Hu Linyi sighed lightly and handed the official document to Wang Jiabi: "Brother Xiaofeng, this Han Bo will be handed over to you, find him a decent house, and give him three hundred taels of public money every month, if he is too little, he will add more." ”

Wang Jiabi took the official document and found that it was clearly written on it that the alternate magistrate of the county was still used first, so he couldn't help asking: "Do you want to give him an errand?" ”

"No, just keep it like that."

"But ......"

"Not so much, but who let us have no one in the court. If something happens in the future, he can help deliver a letter at a critical juncture. ”

"Okay, I'll do it."

Seeing Wang Jiabi away, Hu Linyi took out a letter brought by Han Bo with the signature "well-known and not", and read it carefully.

The letter was written by Han Xiufeng, talking about the past few months.

Guangzhou City, which has nearly 20,000 eight banners and green battalions garrisoned, was easily broken by hundreds of Yi soldiers, and even the governor's yamen was looted by Yi soldiers, Hu Linyi felt very uncomfortable, and wanted to scold Ye Mingchen for being incompetent, but thinking that if Ye Mingchen really held on, even if this battle was won, Xiyi would definitely retaliate, and Ye Mingchen would not be able to fall well at that time, so he couldn't help but sigh.
