Chapter 273: Visitors from Outside the Customs

"Is this size, I think it's better for you to discuss it yourself, for convenience, I won't interfere with you, Lord Zhang and Lord Li, and then see how this silver ticket is, if there is no 'problem', go back and print it, this month's official salary can be issued with a silver ticket, and it will be made up together with last month."

Gao Gong handed the silver ticket to Zhang Juzheng again, Zhang Juzheng is my teacher, we are on the same line, that is, the silver ticket has a 'fault', and it will not be said to my face, and it will embarrass me, and it will definitely tell me behind my back, so I took it and looked at it and said: "The emperor Weichen thinks that this silver ticket can be improved a lot compared to the previous treasure banknote, and there is nothing that can be improved." After speaking, he handed the silver ticket to Li 'Chun' Fang

Li 'Chun' Fang took the silver ticket, looked at it in detail, and said: "The emperor Weichen looks at it, as long as this silver ticket is improved according to His Majesty's wishes, it can be seen that Lord Lan has put a lot of thought into it, and it is good, not bad" After saying two good things, Li 'Chun' Fang stood up again, walked to the emperor, and 'handed over' the silver ticket to the emperor

"If a few Aiqing don't have other opinions, then do it, Lan Yunjie, go back, on the opening day, you have to make a big noise, so that everyone in the capital knows about it, and I can count on you as soon as possible."

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, the ministers will live up to His Majesty's trust, do their errands well, and the ministers will retire."

The emperor didn't keep me, and several cabinet ministers didn't leave, it seemed that they still had something to discuss, and it was inconvenient for them to be there, so the emperor didn't ask any more questions, and just out of the big 'gate' of the Qianqing Palace, I stopped and greeted him when I saw Chen Jiu coming head-on

"Brother Lan, what are you doing here?" now Chen Jiu calls me brother when no one is around, which is also a manifestation of intimacy

"Brother Chen, this is not for the silver ticket, the sample ticket came out for His Majesty to decide, why haven't I seen you for a long time, you are a busy person now."

"I'm busy, I didn't thank you for what happened last time, big brother, I'm so busy now that I haven't even had the opportunity to invite you to dinner, so let's make up for it when you get married."

"Brother Chen, what are we going to be polite about, and there will be more times when my brother needs your help in the future," he said to the eunuch brother, brother, if it gets out, it will have a bad reputation, and people hate eunuchs, but I need their help now, so I have to be perfunctory

"Okay, Brother Lan, you get busy first, I still have something to report, the emperor has something to inform me, the eunuch leader, I've already 'handed over' the agent"

"Okay, let's talk later," I was about to say goodbye, Chen Jiu left, and hurriedly ran out of the hall, a little eunuch shouted as he ran: "Lord Lan, please stay."

Chen Jiu and I both stopped, looked at the little eunuch coming to my side, and said, "Lord Lan, the emperor said that you will wait outside for a while, and after the adults leave, the emperor will summon you alone."

"What's the matter with this father-in-law?"

"Lord Lan, I don't know what His Majesty means."

"Okay, you go and reply to Your Majesty, I'll wait outside for a while," sent the little eunuch to return to life, and I couldn't go to the main hall, so I had to wait in the courtyard

"Brother Lan, why don't I find you a place to sit," Chen Jiu said as he saw me standing in the courtyard

"Forget it, Brother Chen, you go and get busy, I'm waiting here, or Your Majesty won't find me, and I'll be in trouble."

"Okay, I'll go in first," Chen Jiu went to the main hall

I strolled around, coming and going, coming to the 'guard' on duty at the 'door', next to the 'guard' on duty, it was still an old acquaintance, Ouyang, the other 'guard' was standing there, Ouyang was the leader, so he could move freely, then Ouyang saw me coming over, greeted first, and then said: "Brother Lan, I'm really leisurely here today."

"Brother Ouyang, you are on duty today, where am I coming to wander around, this is not Your Majesty, there is something to do, several adults are discussing inside, I am waiting for the emperor to summon me."

"No, I see you went in, why did you come out again"

"After going in and reporting it, I was just about to leave and was left behind," I said with a helpless smile

"Brother Lan, the holy family is not low, the emperor is very optimistic about you, and in the past few days, Princess Shouyang has come over several times and said that she was going out to play, and the emperor didn't know if it was accurate, and you didn't accompany you as a teacher."

"Brother Ouyang, I'm busy now, I don't have time, the princess hasn't been there for a long time, I said before that I wanted to accompany her out, but it's still an errand, I don't know when the princess will go out, I'll see if I can 'time' out to accompany her."

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw several cabinet ministers walking out of the main hall and walking outside, I felt that I stopped talking and stood respectfully with Ouyang to the side, Zhang Juzheng didn't look at me when he passed by me, so I had to Li 'Chun' Fang was talking, arching himself in front of him, and he didn't talk to the two of them, and when they passed, I walked into the main hall, and happened to meet the little eunuch who came out to call me

"His Majesty Lord Lan has summoned you to meet you"

As the little eunuch came to the main hall, the emperor was talking to Chen Jiu, seeing me come in, this time it was good, sit down first, wait for me to sit down, and the emperor said: "Lan Yunjie, I still have something to ask you, so I left you behind."

"I don't know what else is going on with Your Majesty"

"I know it's not that simple to make everyone accept this new thing, it takes a certain amount of time for everyone to accept this new thing, and I also know that you still have something to say, it's inconvenient to say that there is no one now, you think about what you need me to help you with."

"Your Majesty, you really know Weichen, Weichen really has something to ask the emperor for help."

"If you have something, just say it, this is also for me, for our Ming Dynasty, as long as I can help, I can say it"

"Your family, the emperor said so, Weichen said, first, Weichen wants the emperor to decree that all the salaries of officials in the future use our silver tickets, as well as the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp, as well as as the imperial court to issue money, you can use our silver tickets, and the second is that the emperor makes an emperor list, so that merchants can also use our silver tickets, and you can use the silver tickets to 'pay' taxes, and the temporary Weichen is thinking of these."

"Okay, I've approved Chen Jiu, you can help Lan Yunjie do these things, so you don't need to ask me for advice."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, and Wechen will definitely do a good job of the silver trumpet, and live up to Your Majesty's trust."

"Okay, don't thank you, Shouyang has also come over several times these days, I want to go out to play, let me accompany you, don't let her pester you in the future, you get the errand done first, and then talk"

"It's time for the emperor and princess to go out and have a look, or I'll 'take a day' to accompany me out."

"Forget it, I'll find someone else, you can just take care of your errands, okay, you can retire."

Farewell to the emperor out of the palace, the eunuchs carried the sedan chair, we returned to the 'jade' horse lane, at this time the weather was already cold, so in the sedan chair Lao Liu had pressed the stove for me

As soon as I entered the 'door', I got off the sedan chair and came to the hall, and Lao Liu lay in my ear and said softly: "Young master, there is a letter from the master's side, and the messenger is arranged by me to be in the back, you go over and take a look."

I looked outside, a few eunuchs who were cleaning up the sedan chair didn't speak, and took Lao Liu to the backyard, and in the living room of the backyard sat Zhang Yunchuan, who came to deliver the letter, Zhang Yunchuan saw me wearing an official uniform, and knew that it was the main master, so he quickly stood up and said: "You are Lord Lan, I am Zhang Yunchuan, the shopkeeper of Lan, let me come back to deliver the letter," he said, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to me

"I've worked hard, I don't know this big brother's surname"

"Under the surname Zhang Yunchuan is the sworn brother of the Lan shopkeeper"

I was stunned, what kind of fame did this cheap dad do, and he actually went out for a few days and had a righteous brother, I also sat down on a chair, opened the letter and read it, and the letter read: The head of the family, I have arrived safely outside the Guan, the business has not yet started, but I met the people of the Heyan tribe, ready to do the first business with them, you can arrange a batch of food, the best and weapons, and I want to build a horse farm outside the Guan, I need 10,000 taels of silver, I hope that the master of the family will quickly go to prepare, I am afraid that the specific situation will change, I can ask the messenger messenger is my righteous brother, I can fully believe that after the goods are ready, there will be my righteous brother to lead the team, and there is no payment behind the letter, but I can still see the handwriting of the cheap father, so there is no question about the authenticity of this letter

I also understand the general meaning of the letter, and I also understand that Cheap Dad called me the head of the family in order to hide his identity and not let others know that he is my father, but I don't know why he suddenly wants to do business, and he also needs food and silver weapons, but according to Cheap Dad's thinking, he will not create this horse farm out of nothing, and I don't understand, where is there still anyone to build a horse farm outside the Guan, it seems that if you want to solve the mystery, the only way to solve the mystery is from this messenger

I put the letter away and said to Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, you go and prepare wine and food, this Brother Zhang has worked hard, let's pick up the wind and wash the dust for him," Lao Liu agreed and walked out of the hall and walked to the front yard

"Brother Zhang, I don't know if the shopkeeper Lan is there with you, what's going on with this horse farm?"

"Lan is like this, the Lan shopkeeper met us outside the gate, and we and my eldest brother fell in love, this is not a, since it is a family, I will not hide it from you, I and my eldest brother are pulling the pole, with hundreds of brothers, originally near Suzhou, surrounded by Qi Jiguang, the loss of people and horses is very large, so I went over there, and here is only able to survive, so after knowing the Lan shopkeeper, the Lan shopkeeper gave us an idea, let us build a horse farm, and then after the horses are raised, you can also do the same business as the dart line, and protect the merchants who go out of the customs”

Now I understand that this is cheap, dad used these people to raise war horses for us, in order to prepare for the future construction and horseback riding, or cheap dad will not be a brother with the bandits
