Chapter 103: Indignation
"Big brother, I'm not alive, I'm not alive, that guy actually let me, actually let me ...... Wow, wow, wow, big brother, you know, I haven't married yet, you must help me, if you don't take me this time, I will die immediately......"
That night in the county office, Fengyun cried there crying and crying for his father, and Cao Xuan also felt a headache, saying that eunuchs have special habits, it seems that this is really true, especially in this feudal era, it is so blatant, Cao Xuan doesn't know what to say.
He glanced at Duan Ke next to him, and Duan Ke was drinking water there as if he hadn't seen anything here, as if he hadn't seen everything here, and his attitude seemed to show Cao Xing that he could help Cao Xing was here, and the rest of the things only depended on Cao Xing.
Listening to Feng Yun's crying father and mother's waw wow yelling there, Cao Xuan waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I also hate those things, you can rest assured, what you should do tomorrow, I will settle it for you!" ”
Hearing Cao Xing's assurance, Feng Yun's excited and irritable heart also quieted down a little.
The next day, Cao Xuan came to the best post house in Bianyun County, and now the post house here has been wrapped by Zuo Feng alone, and the door is full of guards with knives and armor, Cao Xing made it clear what he meant, and those guards immediately went to report to the little eunuchs, and those little eunuchs did not come to find Zuo Feng according to what Cao Xuan said, but came out and looked at Cao Xuan with a smile.
Looking at the expressions of those little eunuchs, Cao Xing only felt a bit of bad luck in his heart, but he still had to squeeze out a smile on his face, took another bag of money, and stuffed it into the hands of those little eunuchs, the little eunuch weighed the weight of the money, and finally nodded, and walked in to inform Zuo Feng.
After a long time, just when Cao Xuan was about to wait, the little eunuch finally came out lazily and said to Cao Xuan: "Go in, Lord Zuo said I can see you!" ”
Cao Xuan accompanied a smiling face, walked to the post house, and saw Zuo Feng, at this moment Zuo Feng was sitting on a Taishi chair, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was quite leisurely, and when he saw Cao Xuan coming, he didn't let Cao Xuan sit down, so he let Cao Xuan stand there.
Cao Xing felt quite embarrassed, but when he came today, he had something important to deal with, so he finally said straight to the point: "Lord Zuo, you came to our Bianyun County for the first time, our Bianyun County is a poor place, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality, I have some small gifts here, and I hope Lord Zuo will smile!" ”
As he spoke, Cao Xuan took out a wooden box again, and the little eunuch next to him took the wooden box, and then placed it next to Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng glanced at the box, took it in his hand and weighed it, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of an inexplicable smile.
Cao Xuan looked at Zuo Feng's smiling face, he only felt panicked in his heart, he really couldn't figure out what this eunuch wanted to do, Cao Xuan had already sent out 70,000 taels of silver, what else did this Zuo Feng want to do?
Cao Xuan couldn't help it, so he stubbornly bowed his hand to Zuo Feng again and said, "What instructions does Lord Zuo have?" Please make it clear! ”
This time, Zuo Feng finally stood up slowly with the support of the two little eunuchs, and walked in front of Cao Xing without hurrying, with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
"Cao Xing, you are new to officialdom, you are still a newborn calf, and you don't understand much, so let me, an old-timer, teach you some experience!"
Hearing this Zuo Feng's tone, Cao Xing's heart was quite unhappy, it was completely a posture of elders teaching juniors.
However, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and Cao Xuan still chose to forbear this matter.
"Do you know how much I earn every month as an official in the court!"
As soon as he heard this, Cao Xing felt a little surprised in his heart, the system of the Han Dynasty issuing Yulu was slightly different from that of later generations, one hair per month was Cao Xing's originality, and the way the Han Dynasty issued Yulu was either settled according to the quarter or by year, Zuo Feng asked Cao Xing if he knew how much he had in a month, which was a little strange.
However, before Cao Xuan could figure it out, Zuo Feng raised three fingers and smiled at Cao Xuan without any scruples: "The little money you added up yesterday and today can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket of my monthly income!" ”
When Zuo Feng said this, Cao Xing was completely frightened, what Zuo Feng wanted to express was nothing more than that he got 300,000 taels every month.
The economy of this era is not so good, 300,000 per month, maybe it is not very difficult for the average business executive in later generations, but the economy of the Han Dynasty is not as developed as in later generations.
Cao Xing vaguely remembered reading an article before, the great generals of the Han Dynasty claimed to have 10,000 stones every year, if it was accurate, it was almost only 5,000 stones, and if all of them were exchanged for real money, there would be almost 200,000 taels per month.
There are 200,000 taels of money every month. This seems unattainable to ordinary ordinary people, but Cao Xing feels that there is not much of a problem, first of all, others are already generals, ranked as the third duke, personally led the troops to quell the rebellion, and made outstanding contributions to the country, so much money every month, there should not be much of a problem.
But that's only relative to the general, the general works hard, and everyone has no objection to taking so much money, but he is a small eunuch, how can he be a little eunuch, he pats the beard and walks the horse in front of the emperor every day, and he can get 300,000 taels a month, which is much higher than the general.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing's heart rose with an inexplicable liver fire, the general fought for his life on the battlefield in order to receive 200,000 taels every month, but what contribution did this kind of eunuch make to the country? Why can you take so much money? It can only be said that they get these 300,000 taels every month, most of which are the hard-earned money of the people.
"Cao Xing, you have too little experience after all, but for the sake of your youth, I don't blame you for this, go back and think about it, what I want is not available yet, I will stay here for a few days, it depends on your performance!" Zuo Feng patted Cao Xing's shoulder with a smile, and then waved his hand to let a few little eunuchs send off the guests.
When Cao Xing walked out of the door of the medical hall, he felt that his spirit was still a little trance, this Zuo Feng's appetite was inevitably too big, Zuo Feng's position in the imperial court, maybe under the ten permanent servants, he was so rampant, not to mention those ten permanent servants, but Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty favored the ten permanent servants, which was also a reason for the demise of the Han Dynasty.
Cao Xing took a deep breath, feeling quite helpless in his heart, and after returning to the county office, he ignored everyone, walked directly into his room, and fell asleep groggy.
However, Cao Xuan still found Feng Yun before going back, he smiled and said to Feng Yun, let Feng Yun not worry, Feng Yun is his brother who was born and died, he will never push Feng Yun into the fire pit, he told Feng Yun that everything has been arranged, let Feng Yun do his own thing with peace of mind, and don't worry about other problems.
Another two days passed, during which Cao Xuan squeezed out 10,000 taels of money from home and handed it to Zuo Feng, Zuo Feng still accepted it with a smile, Cao Xuan originally thought that he had done his best, Zuo Feng should raise his noble hand no matter how much he wanted, but he did not expect that two days later, a little eunuch ran over with a smile and told Cao Xing that Cao Xuan was too young after all.
Before Cao Xuan understood what was going on, the order in Bianyun County began to become a little chaotic, Zhong Qi, who was guarding the door, came to report that a family had entered the city, Cao Xuan was a little angry in his heart, he had obviously greeted Zhong Qi and Chen Hu, and he would never allow the family to enter the city.
However, Zhong Qi was crying with a sad face, and said to Cao Xing, they definitely did it in strict accordance with Cao Xing's orders, and did not let those families enter the city, and the reason why those families were able to swagger into the city this time was all under the leadership of those little eunuchs.
Hearing this, Cao Xing's whole heart was furious, if he didn't guess those families wrong, he also aimed at the opportunity, knowing that Zuo Feng has now entered Bianyun County, and the biggest official in Bianyun County should be Zuo Feng, as long as Zuo Feng is settled, he can swagger into the market.
So they sent their disciples to sneak into the city to find Zuo Feng and give Zuo Feng a lot of money, and Zuo Feng must have approved these families to enter Bianyun County without saying a word.
However, Zuo Feng didn't know how big the impact of the family's entry into Bianyun County was on Cao Xing.
"This bastard is really insatiable, Lao Tzu has already given him so much money, and he wants more, it's not that he wants to force me to death!" Cao Xuan angrily threw Shujian to the ground, and Zhong Qi saw this, and hurriedly picked it up again for Cao Xuan.
"The lord is angry, now that Zuo Feng's identity is an angel after all, we can't offend too much, I think it's better to endure the calm for a while!"
Cao Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down his excited heart, and finally nodded, Zhong Qi said reasonably, he couldn't be so excited, but it was another day, and suddenly one night, in a certain direction in Bianyun County, a fire rose to the sky.
Cao Xuan didn't even sleep well that night, so he hurriedly ran out with people, first extinguished the fire, and then counted the casualties, but after this inventory, the casualties were indeed a bit heavy.
Thirty acres of fertile land were burned by the fire, and countless grain products were burned, and more than 20 people living in the surrounding area were not only burned to their houses, but also caused burns to more than 10 people of varying degrees.
The casualties were extremely heavy, so it can be said that making a fire was deliberately arson, and Cao Xing's liver was on fire, and he directly instructed his subordinates to investigate, and they must find out who did it. As a result, before Cao Xing could find out, the perpetrator of the crime turned himself in.
