Volume III Chapter 15 Two Eunuchs

Jiajing still attaches great importance to Yang Cong's side of the matter, Yang Cong just sent the 800 miles to the expedited, the next day Jiajing's instructions arrived, Jiajing's meaning, this rule has to be observed, but he will send the mine supervisor as soon as possible, within three days, he will definitely be able to arrive.

This is understandable, after all, the emperor is afraid of rebellion, even if Jiajing trusts Yang Cong and believes that he will not rebel, he is also afraid that he will smelt raw iron and sell it everywhere, after all, this iron ore mining is not difficult, tens of thousands of catties a day, tens of thousands of catties a day, crazy mining for several months, the output is also quite amazing, so you must send someone to watch, no one can mess around.

Yang Cong also felt that waiting for three days was nothing, because the furnace for smelting pig iron also needed time to build, according to Wang Xuan's plan, it was necessary to build several large melting furnaces with a daily output of thousands of catties, and it would take at least ten days for such a furnace to be built.

In other words, even if it takes three days for the mine supervisor to arrive, it will take two or three days for them to gather the miners and prepare the mining equipment, and it will take about ten days to build a furnace, and three days will not delay anything.

He is also busy, because he not only wants to build weapons and equipment, but also train the elite of the border army in Xuanfu Town, so that these soldiers are proficient in the use of thermal weapons and equipment and chariots.

On the afternoon of the third day, a soldier from the Beijing camp finally came to report that the mine supervisor sent by the palace was about to arrive, which meant that people went outside the city to greet him.

Yang Cong is helpless, although he hates these eunuchs very much, but for the time being, he can't do anything about these eunuchs, if he doesn't coax people, people will put a few words of slander in Jiajing's ears, and he will have to bear it.

He could only take Wang Xuan and hundreds of brocade guards out of the city and greeted him more than ten miles to the east.

Good guys, more than 100 of them were running on the official road on horseback, and a cluster of pennants suddenly appeared in front of them, and then dense figures appeared on the official road in front, and the number was at least thousand.

This style is similar to when he first came to Xuanfu Town, but there are no Jinyi guards in the front team, but all the Jingying guards.

These Jingying guards were surrounded by two carriages, sweating one by one, and it was obvious that the carriage was the mine supervisor sent by Jiajing.

Yang Cong pursed his lips, and then hit the horse to meet him.

Soon, the two sides met, and a general in armor took the lead in hitting his horse and arched his hand: "The last general, the general of the Beijing camp, Yun Mao, will see Lord Patrol." ”

Hey, this man actually knows himself.

Yang Cong bowed his hand and saluted back: "General Yun has worked hard all the way. ”

Yun Mao hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted back: "Yes, yes, Master Hou asked the last general to ask Lord Patrol on his behalf." ”

Hou Ye?

Yang Cong was stunned for a moment, and then understood that this Yun Mao was a close confidant of Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, and the Beijing camp seemed to be in Guo Xun's hands at this moment.

Unexpectedly, there was also a person of his own.

I'm afraid these two dead eunuchs didn't expect that Jingying was almost in the same group as himself.

Hehe, if you two are honest, if you dare to play any tricks, in this Xuanfu Town, I will play you to death.

Yang Cong was proud in his heart for a while, and then he came to the two carriages, and said politely: "My father-in-law has worked hard all the way." ”

He didn't know what kind of father-in-law was inside, anyway, everyone was polite on the surface.

However, these eunuch shelves are quite big, and they have all come up with a patrol, and they are still in the sedan chair where the old god is, do they want to give themselves a dismount?

He was slandering there, the curtain of the first car suddenly opened, and a eunuch with a thin face asked for it, and bowed back to the door of the sedan chair: "Lord Yang is polite, this up and down trouble, the miscellaneous family will not get out of the car, and we will have a good chat when we get to the ground." ”

After that, the eunuch slowly lowered the sedan curtain.

This guy is not very arrogant, but what does the other eunuch mean, why didn't he show his head?

Yang Cong stood there awkwardly and waited for a while, and the door of the second carriage slowly opened, and a fat eunuch poked his head out, and said a little impatiently: "Lord Yang, didn't Gonggong Li say it, let's talk about it when I enter the city." ”

After that, he directly threw off the sedan curtain and sat back.

Seeing this, Yang Cong couldn't help frowning, these two eunuchs don't seem to be all the way, and the eunuch behind him obviously doesn't deal with him, what's going on?

Nima, what is in your mouth, he secretly snorted coldly, then turned the horse's head and led the group to the city.

He also inquired about the eunuch's preferences, because the eunuch is an incomplete man, and the pursuit of money and food, drink and pleasure is generally different from ordinary people, that is, the money has to be stuffed enough for them, and the food and drink have to be picked up, and the accommodation cannot be sloppy, and the rest is nothing.

He's ready for all of this, and he's not short of money anyway, so he'll raise two pigs.

The group soon came to the city, and Yang Cong didn't say much, and directly sent the two of them to the two luxurious courtyards that had been prepared, and then went back to the house to get the silver.

At this time, the eunuchs are very dark, and they are basically too lazy to take care of you if they don't have money, and Yang Cong has also thought about it, stuffing 50,000 taels per person, blocking the mouths of these two dogs and counting the ball, at this time he really doesn't have time to play any scheming with these two eunuchs.

However, these two people are not arranged in a courtyard, and there must be a sequence to send money, Yang Cong thought about it, and simply went to Gonggong Li's yard first, it seems that this guy's attitude is okay, as for the latter one, then we can only wait for Gonggong Li to finish sending it.

This Gonggong Li really had a good attitude, when he heard that he was coming, he took the initiative to run to the door to greet him, he saw a carriage following Yang Cong, and he didn't say anything, and directly invited Yang Cong into the courtyard.

The two came to the lobby and sat down as the guest of honor, and Yang Cong bowed his hand and said, "I haven't asked my father-in-law for his name." ”

This Gonggong Li bowed his hand and replied: "Don't dare, don't dare, the miscellaneous Li Fang, who is a small steward under the master of ceremonies Huang Gonggong, dare not be called like this by the champion Lang." ”

Li fang?

Could it be the Lu Fang in a certain drama?

It is possible, since this person is a close confidant of the great eunuch Huang Jin, it is not impossible for him to be in charge of the celebrant in the future.

It is rumored that the great eunuch Huang Jin is relatively easy-going, but he is loyal to Jiajing and does not bully the courtiers much, which seems to be true.

Yang Cong simply said bluntly: "Gonggong Li, this official is on patrol for the first time, and he doesn't know what the rules are, and he doesn't know how much this mining tax is, and this official has brought 50,000 taels of silver, I don't know if it's enough." ”

What kind of mining tax, that's all, even if there is really a mining tax, it won't reach Jiajing's pocket, and it will be swallowed by these eunuchs.

When Li Fang heard this, she was stunned.

This guy is so direct about sending bribes, and this is the first time he has encountered it.

He was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly: "Enough, enough, tomorrow morning, the adults can order someone to go through the formalities, and then they can go to the mine." ”
