Xue Fei put on a respectful look and said to Wang Zhi: "Thank you for your advice, the villain hopes that the adult and the palm will accept it!" Saying that, Xue Fei took out two purses from his arms and handed them to Wang Zhi and Li He, the bookkeeper.

Wang Zhi and Li He took the purse, they knew with their hands that it was ten taels of silver, Wang Zhi and Li He smiled, Wang Zhi said to Xue Fei in a slightly kind tone: "You do a good job!" ”

At this time, a person came to the duty hall, this person was in his forties, with a green beard on his chin, wearing a black flying fish suit, but some parts of his flying fish suit had been opened, and this person's spirit was very good.

"Lao Wang, you will take this little brother to patrol the street you are responsible for in the future, and take good care of him!" Wang Zhi saw Lao Wang coming in, so he asked him to take good care of Xue Fei.

Lao Wang gave an empty salute to Wang Zhi: "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take good care of the new brother, if there is nothing to order, my subordinates will take the new brother to patrol." ”

Wang Zhi nodded: "Go down!" After speaking, Lao Wang took Xue Fei out of the guard.

"What's your name?" Lao Wang and Xue Fei chatted while walking, the streets of Nanhua Lane gradually became lively, there were stalls selling goods on the roadside, and there were also artists selling on the street, Xue Fei looked at the scenery on the side of the road and replied to Lao Wang's words: "My name is Xue Fei, what is the name of my brother?" ”

Lao Wang looked at Xue Fei and asked him, "Wang Yi, where is your house?" ”

Xue Fei looked at Lao Wang with some doubts: "Wang Yi? Which one? ”

Lao Wang smiled: "You haven't answered me yet, where is your house?" ”

Xue Fei: "My family is from the Imperial City and lives in Xicheng. Xue Fei lied, he didn't say that his family lived in Beicheng District, where Ming officials gathered.

Lao Wang knew that most of Xicheng District was a gathering place for horse halls and martial arts halls and dart gates in this era, and Xue Fei said that it was not an exaggeration to live here, Lao Wang then asked Xue Fei: "Then your family is a martial arts person, right?" ”

Xue Fei didn't answer Lao Wang's question first: "You haven't answered me yet!" Which one are you? Xue Fei could see that Lao Wang was easier to get along with, so he dared to talk to Lao Wang like this.

Lao Wang looked at Xue Fei with a smile: "Okay, my one is one of the best, now you can answer me!" ”

Xue Fei: "My family is martial arts, and my family is for other people's darts, what are we doing today, brother?" "Xue Fei can't say his true situation.

Lao Wang looked at the sun, and after walking for a while, he felt hot: "I have to continue patrolling for a while, and when the sun comes, we will go and collect this month's filial piety silver." ”

Xue Fei was surprised, he touched the embroidered spring knife on his waist: "Brother, you haven't said where your home is?" ”

Lao Wang said helplessly: "I'm different from you, your family is a wealthy family, and I still have to support a family, both old and young, don't say it!" ”

Xue Fei comforted Lao Wang: "It's okay, it'll be fine, let's go on patrol!" ”

Lao Wang didn't expect Xue Fei to say such a thing, he looked at this young man, he felt that this young man was not bad, in the next time, Lao Wang would introduce Xue Fei to Xue Fei when he was patrolling the streets, and Xue Fei would also give a peach in return, he would buy some fruit for Lao Wang to give Lao Wang.

The sun is rising, the weather is getting hotter, Lao Wang and Xue Fei patrolled the three streets, their patrol task has been completed, Lao Wang and Xue Fei are sitting in the tea shed drinking a big bowl of tea at the moment, Lao Wang and Xue Fei said: "After drinking this bowl of tea in a while, let's go to collect the cash!" ”

Xue Fei asked Lao Wang: "Brother, I have a question that I don't know whether to ask or not?" ”

Lao Wang: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, what do you want to ask?" ”

Xue Fei: "Why didn't we just collect the cash when we were patrolling just now?" Why cashier now? ”

Lao Wang smiled: "I don't understand, let me tell you, generally the business in the morning is better until noon, they are almost collected, let's go to collect the cashier, but you remember that our shops in Nanhua Lane are different from other shops." ”

Xue Fei heard this and asked Lao Wang, "What do you say?" ”

Lao Wang: "You'll know in a while, let's go!" "I'm done with tea, it's time to get to work!

Lao Wang and Xue Fei began to collect cash from the merchants at the end of the street, Lao Wang took Xue Fei into a shop, Lao Wang looked at the owner of the store: "Boss, collect this month's silver!" ”

The boss looked at Lao Wang and Xue Fei, he took out an account book and a silver ticket to Lao Wang: "This is this month's filial piety silver, you take it, the account book is here, can you take a look?" ”

Lao Wang looked at the ledger: "Well, yes! Okay, I'm leaving! The boss sent Lao Wang and Xue Fei out of the store.

Xue Fei then collected the money with Lao Wang, and they didn't finish collecting the silver until noon, Xue Fei and Lao Wang returned to the guard house and sent the collected silver to Li He, who was on duty, and then Lao Wang took Xue Fei out to eat.

In the small restaurant, Xue Fei and Lao Wang were drinking mung bean soup, Xue Fei looked at Lao Wang: "Brother, you tell me, why do we have to look at the account books when we collect cashiers?" Isn't it true that each family collects a certain amount of money? ”

Lao Wang: "This is the difference between Nanhua Lane and other places I told you in the morning, the merchants of Nanhua Lane are merchants from the south to the north, and some of them are the properties of the families from all over the world, and some are the private properties of our officials, so the Lord of the Hundred Households said to these merchants, our Jinyi Wei collects two commissions from them every month, and our Hundred Households is responsible for protecting them on this boundary, understand?" ”

Xue Fei: "Am I understandable that although we receive a small commission, we can make friends with the people or forces behind the business?" ”

Lao Wang patted Xue Fei on the shoulder: "Boy, your brain is turning fast enough!" Yes, the hundred households are the idea, the commission can be less, but you can't offend people, brother, I also told you, the merchants in Nanhua Lane still have our heads! ”

Xue Fei looked at Lao Wang: "Brother means that there is our shop in Nanhua Lane?" Or are there hundreds of households in these shops? "The head-taking is the modern equivalent of shares.

Lao Wang: "You have said both situations, this is also the biggest difference between our Nanhua Lane and the hundred households elsewhere, let's eat!" Saying that, the owner of the restaurant came up with two bowls of cold noodles that had been watered, and the noodles were stacked in the bowl after being passed through the well water twice, sprinkled with marinade on them, and Xue Fei and Lao Wang ate three bowls of noodles in one go.

"Cheerful, boss checkout!" Xue Fei shouted, but Lao Wang stopped Xue Fei: "What are you doing here?" ”

Xue Fei: "It's okay, I'll invite you today, and besides, it's all right, you still tell me so many things, when I have time, I will come to your house to taste my sister-in-law's craftsmanship, and you can prepare wine and food by then!" ”
