Chapter 520: Chips, Fairness

The second hall of the General Military Mansion is located in the inner instrument gate, and there are two ear halls on the left and right, which is the place where officials wait, and the second hall used for receiving them is in the middle. At the beginning, Xu Heng was impatient to meet people here, so he called people to the three halls where he lived, so the officers waiting to be seen would often chat and talk unscrupulously, and it was the most noisy place. Now Zhang Yue followed a personal soldier from the Neiyi Gate along the central avenue to the inside, but he saw that there were no curtains in the left and right ear halls, and several officers sitting in danger could be seen. As he approached, he could only hear the sound of speech in the second hall, and there was no other noise.

"Master Hou, Governor Zhang is here."

The soldier lifted a corner of the thick cotton curtain of the second hall, bent down and reported, and when an order came from inside, he turned around and made a gesture to Zhang Yue, and said in a low voice: "Inside is a thousand households guarding Zhangjiakou Fort, and a commander of Wanquan, it will be over in a while." Since Lord Zhang is here, the other people waiting will naturally be delayed, why don't you go to the ear hall next to you and sit down for a while? ”

There is not much difference between waiting in the ear hall and standing in the open air to blow the cold wind, and there are still people inside, so Zhang Yue waved his hand. Through the gap in the door curtain, he vaguely saw that the two people who were doing the work inside were kneeling on the ground. He is no stranger to this scene, the Ming officialdom is the most up-and-down rules, the officials of the six ministries are all kneeling when they see the officials, and the foreign officials are also all respectful and humble according to their grades. But rules are rules, and not everyone sticks to such a set, for example, in his impression, Zheng Heng has never paid attention to this. After a moment of doubt, he realized, and after waiting for a while, there was a sound of retreat, and he gave way to the side.

Xu was kneeling for a long time, and the two officers who came out of it were a little uncomfortable when they came down the steps, and their faces still showed the frustration after being reprimanded. Zhang Yue only glanced away from him, and when they passed, he bent slightly and stepped into the high threshold, only to find that there was no one in the spacious room. Slightly stunned, he hurriedly walked a few steps into the small gate to the east of the back, and sure enough, he saw Zheng Heng standing in the small garden where everything was depressed.

"Wu Anhou!"

Zheng Heng nodded slightly, and then revealed his right hand behind his back, which was a note: "This is what the household department has just transferred back, and there is the emperor's approval above, and I have already agreed to your article Chen." I'm a martial artist, I can't understand your things like saving permanent shares, and I don't know what salt method is, I only know that you are so tired that I was praised by the emperor and couldn't figure it out. No wonder Lu Feng threw his silver seal to you without asking, it turns out that you specially put gold on people's faces! It's good now, those guys in Jingshi have to look at me differently, it's all your fault! ”

Zhang Yue knew that Zheng Heng was talking about the piece of music that he had sent after he opened the middle school before, and saw that this Wu'anhou was only slightly stunned, not really annoyed, so he laughed: "The weight of my book as a mere five-grade official is naturally not enough, but it is different to pull Wu'anhou, those cabinet bosses can refute me, but you have to consider your face." Besides, I even gave a little credit to Father-in-law Lu, how can I not piggyback on you who have done so much? ”

"Good boy, count yourself up!"

Zheng Heng shook his head angrily, and then said: "In short, you exchanged two months of Huai salt production for 50,000 stone of grain this time, and the results are remarkable. Aren't there a lot of businessmen who went home empty-handed this time? There is another chance next, and the household department plans to allocate another 60,000 yuan of Huai salt to you to open the middle. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then showed a friendly smile: "I came to you today to tell you another good news, your second uncle has won the battle, according to that momentum, maybe he will be able to catch Li Li in a few days." Huang Fu, the political envoy of Jiaoluan, also wrote that he had found the descendants of the Chen family of Annan, whether it was true or not, the imperial court had issued an edict to confer the right senator of the political secretary. Also, your eldest uncle has already set off from Nanjing, and he will be able to arrive in Beijing in a while. Now that all the bad news is giving way, it's all good news. ”

While speaking, Zheng Heng hid an important thing, after all, it was only annoying to say bad news, and it was better to hide it now.

Because of this great news, Zhang Yue couldn't help but wave his fist when he left the General Soldier's Mansion. The second uncle Zhang You's wish to be fulfilled is certainly one layer, and the shadow of the frequent accidents in the first second room can be temporarily brought over, and the grandmother Gu's illness can be relieved is what he wants. The most important thing now is to see if the other move he had previously played would be effective. In the face of Zhu Di, a man with an unpredictable temper, the only choice is to take the medicine of the tiger and wolf! Since Zhu Di even has to protect his son who is looking forward to his death, why can't he Zhang Yue protect his innocent father-in-law?

As for the salt method, thirty percent of the savings can be used for non-secondary salt, and seventy percent of the regular shares are for merchants to line up to withdraw, and the price is high or low for you to choose, which is always more cost-effective than everyone eating a big pot of rice, and it can be regarded as a temporary solution. And the emperor once again allocated 60,000 yuan of Huaiyan, he had to deal with those merchants, and he had more bargaining chips to find out the spies.

At the crossroads of a street on the east side of Bingfu Avenue are four tall stone archways, although they are not as tall and mighty as the East Fourth Archway and the West Fourth Archway of Jingshi, but it is also a noisy place where people come and go. Of course, the role here is different from that of the West Four Cards, and it has nothing to do with the execution ground. On weekdays, as long as the eight-character wall in front of the General Soldier's Mansion is pasted, someone here will immediately copy and paste a copy on the brick wall with mortar joints on all sides, and the rest of the manuscripts will be sent to the taverns and restaurants on all sides.

That's right, this is a big place where the stewards of the various Jin merchants are stationed in Xuanfu on weekdays. After all, those private businesses only need a shopkeeper and a few guys to handle them beautifully, and the government's business is the real big one. It's just that this time, the long-awaited opening of the middle is a few happy and a few sad, and now there are many sighs and sighs in the box separated by hollow plywood, because most of the people who successfully won the Huai salt immediately went back to raise food.

"Alas, I should have thought of it a long time ago, how could this government do a loss-making business! This can be immediately obtained and the salt can be sold immediately, compared to waiting in line for several years or even more than ten years and decades, if it is really three buckets and five liters, it will be crazy! ”

"In the past, it was a price, but this time it's a good price, it's a bid, that little Zhang is not a serious reader, or is he born in a noble family, how can he still understand the doorways of these business fields!"

"Don't mention it, I came here after a bumpy night from Pingyao County, and now it's good, it's empty-handed! Damn, I usually can't pay the salt in line with warehouse bills, but now such a good opportunity has been missed! ”

"Who let the government's actions be so fast this time, and only then announced that this time it was Lord Xiao Zhang who presided over it, but don't turn your head and start it, not to mention friendship, it's too late to give gifts! But then again, there are brocade guards in the way, and I am afraid that I don't dare to accept gifts casually. Alas, just the Jade Guanyin that I gave away for nothing before is worth a thousand times! ”

The four people in this box were originally competitors, but this time they became difficult brothers, so the two pots of hot Fenjiu were drunk after a while, and everyone was a little drunk. At this moment, one of them suddenly stood up with his hands on the table, leaned forward slightly, and showed a mysterious expression on his face.

"This time, the Fang family of Lu'an Mansion was the first to win the lottery, you should also know that there was a generation of Fang family heads who once offended a big man, so he was moved to Shandong, and the momentum has long been not as good as before, how can there be so much courage this time? It took me a lot of effort to find out that Fang Qing, the current head of the Fang family, has a very close relationship with Lord Xiao Zhang! ”

"God, Lord Xiao Zhang hasn't been close to women since he arrived at Xuanfu, so it's a good ......."

Seeing that this topic was about to slide into the abyss of gossip, there was a sudden knock on the door outside. The short merchant, whose eyes widened and was about to seek verification, did not want to pay attention at first, but the knock on the door was so strong that he had to give an angry order to come in. When the door opened, he couldn't help but be annoyed when he saw that it was one of his servants.

"Why are you so ignorant of the rules, didn't you say that no matter what big things are, you should let them go first?"

"The owner...... Landlord! Feudal official...... The government has published another list! The little guy was so excited that his face turned red, and he patted his face vigorously, so that he could continue to speak, "The head of the military mansion posted a list of texts, saying that this time he will take out another 60,000 citations of Huai Yan!" At the end, the list also said that in three days, Lord Xiao Zhang would personally preside over it in Deqing Building. Look, this is a transcript of the Bangwen......"

In an instant, the four businessmen who had just felt sorry for themselves suddenly turned red, as if they had not eaten for three days and three nights, but saw the evil wolf of food, and rushed forward to copy the text. And this scene did not only happen in this one box, but all kinds of chaotic sounds sounded in the four or five boxes on the second floor, but it was followed by shouts of surprise and joy.

Soon, the carriages that were originally parked at the foot of the fourth archway rushed away one after another, and in order to move faster, everyone even threw a handful of money directly on the counter, not caring about letting the restaurant make change. It's just that when others are leaving, a box is still closed. The guest stood by the window, opened the lattice window and looked out for a long time, and then lowered the wooden frame and twisted his neck stiff from too much wind.

Yu Qian rubbed his hands lightly, and couldn't help but think of the letter sent by Liu Guan, the imperial historian of the Imperial Palace, before the Imperial Inspectorate. The boss first praised his achievements in counting grain reserves in Kaiping, but finally asked him to quietly obey Kaiping and rush back to Xuanfu to supervise the opening of the middle of the matter. Although he has not yet been assigned to any department, it is not surprising that as long as it is the imperial history, he has always had the responsibility of supervision, but Liu Guan asked him to pay more attention to whether anyone cheated in the middle of the opening in the letter, which added to the problem. Before he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he reminded him that Liu Guan was greedy and contemptuous in the same year, but his preconceived ideas and one-sided words did not conform to his standards of life.

Since Shangguan asked him to supervise, then he has to carefully supervise, and he can't lose the word fairness!
