Gao Ming already knew that Li Goudan was a money-eyed person, so Gao Ming had to remind him at this time. Mobile phone users are invited to browse M. for a better reading experience.

"Li Goudan, you have to remember, I asked you to collect protection money, not to let you rob money, you should be charged two pennies, you charge one penny, I don't blame you, but if you should collect one penny, you collected two pennies, if this matter reaches my ears, don't blame me for being polite."

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan immediately patted his chest with an oath.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, don't worry, you don't dare to tarnish your reputation if you die!"

Looking at Li Goudan's style, Gao Ming suddenly nodded with a smile.

"It's good to know, you have to know, there are a lot of people staring at us now, I'm nothing, it's not trivial to be impeached by the official, but you're different, you have risen too fast, some people have already been red-eyed, if they catch your handle, even if you don't die, I'm afraid you can only cut your balls and become a eunuch."

As soon as Gao Ming's words fell, Li Goudan suddenly shuddered, then clamped his legs, and his head shook like a rattle.

"No, no, no, a few days ago, a matchmaker just wanted to kiss me, this egg can't be cut!"

Looking at his frightened look, Gao Ming's heart was secretly funny, but he still looked very serious on the surface.

"It's good if you know, so you have to pay attention when you collect protection money, figure out what the other party is selling before you make a move, you can only charge less and not more, there are so many vendors in Chang'an City, we don't lack that few dollars, and we have to protect them after collecting money, and we can't let others think that we collect money in vain."

Hearing Gao Ming say this, Li Goudan was puzzled again.

"Protection? How to protect? ”

As soon as his words fell, Gao Ming couldn't help but knock a popping chestnut on his head.

"I said that I was collecting protection money, so naturally I have to protect them, otherwise it won't be a robbery? Anyway, when the time comes, you should remember that you should keep an eye on all the vendors who have paid the protection money, and don't let the ruffians find trouble with them. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ming hurriedly added.

"You can also use force when necessary, these ruffians in Chang'an City should also be cleaned up, for those guys who affect our collection of protection money, catch one and beat one by one, so that his parents don't know him, as long as they don't kill or cripple."

Now Li Goudan completely understood, and he immediately nodded.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, I understand, I'll go and help you collect protection money!"

After speaking, Li Goudan turned around and was about to leave, but before he could take a step, Gao Ming grabbed him.

"What is called 'help me collect protection money', this is the one I sent to maintain the commercial order of Chang'an City, as for the money given by the vendors, it is the protection money they voluntarily gave, you can't force them, understand?"

Li Goudan is also a clever person, and he nodded immediately after hearing Gao Ming's words. 一秒記住【千千小說w w w.x q q x o m】,為您提供精彩說閱讀。

"I understand, I understand, just now the lower official said the wrong thing, the lower official was confused for a while, and I hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will forgive the sin!"

Seeing that he was so sensible, Gao Ming nodded again, and then gave him his waist card next.

"It's good to know, this is my waist card, you take it to the military camp outside the city and hand it to Su Gan Chengji, let him transfer some people to you, do a good job, don't let me down!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Li Goudan patted his chest again.

"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't worry, I will definitely do this for you beautifully."

"I hope so, go ahead, remember that we charge by the day!"

"Yes, Xia Guan understands!"

Li Goudan agreed, and then took Gao Ming's waist card out of the palace, and came to the barracks outside the city in a carriage, and when he saw Su Gan Chengji, he immediately took out Gao Ming's waist card.

"This official was ordered by the prince to mobilize a hundred cavalry guards to enter Chang'an City to carry out the task, this is His Royal Highness's waist card!"

After Su Gan Chengji saw Gao Ming's waist card, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent all the hundred cavalry guards in the barracks to Li Goudan, and even he himself willingly gave Li Goudan as his deputy.

Although in the eyes of Su Gan Chengji before, Li Goudan was just a little liar who did not enter the stream, but that was already yesterday's yellow flower.

Now Li Goudan is a Zhongshu member of the fifth grade, and he is still a Zhenwei lieutenant from the sixth grade, Li Goudan is not only six levels older than him in the official position, but also a celebrity in front of the prince, so Su Gan Chengji can only lower the shelf.

"Uh...... Lord Lee, ......"

After leaving the barracks, Su Gan Chengji arched his hand towards Li Goudan with a smile on his face.

"What is the specific task given by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince this time?"

When Li Goudan heard the sentence "Master Li" from Su Gan Chengji, his heart suddenly felt happy, and he nodded and relayed what Gao Ming said before to Su Gan Chengji.

"This time we are going to Chang'an City to maintain that ...... The business order, in order to protect those businessmen from being bullied by the ruffians, by the way, collect some protection money, and when the time comes, you look at my eyes! ”

"Yes!"

Soon, Li Goudan and Su Gan Chengji and his party came to the gate of Chang'an City, and the guards at the city gate did not dare to stop after seeing the waist card of the hundred cavalry guards, and immediately let them go.

After entering Chang'an City, Li Goudan immediately found the most lively place on the street, and then shouted at the top of his throat.

"We are the one who came to defend Chang'an City on the orders of the crown prince...... In that commercial order, all the vendors who have paid the protection fee are all protected by my hundred cavalry guards, and if someone bullies you or makes trouble for you, we hundred cavalry guards will stand out for you! ”

The people of the Tang Dynasty are fierce, and the people's fear of officials is not as serious as that of later generations, so as soon as Li Goudan's words fell, a little old man immediately came over to ask.

"My lord, what exactly is your protection money?"

Hearing the words of this little old man, Li Goudan immediately laughed.

"Protection money, as the name suggests, is the fee we charge to protect you."

Now the little old man understood.

"Oh, little old man understands, then dare to ask my lord, how much is this protection fee you want to charge?"

Li Goudan had long expected him to ask such a question, and immediately burst out laughing.

"Haha, you are really an understanding person, but I have just said that we are on the orders of the prince to protect you this time, so this protection fee also varies from person to person, let me ask you, what do you do? What is the value of what you are selling? ”

Hearing Li Goudan's question, the little old man immediately pointed to the bamboo basket on his back.

"Little Lao'er sells Hu cakes, which are worthless, two Hu cakes are worth a penny!"

After speaking, he was worried that Li Goudan would not believe it, and put it on the ground from the bamboo basket and opened it for Li Goudan to see, looking at the Hu cake of this bamboo basket, Li Goudan immediately nodded.

"Well, it's really a cake, your business is a small profit, it's not easy, and the protection fee is a penny."

When the little old man heard this, he was immediately a little surprised and asked again.

"What did you just say, my lord...... A penny? ”

"Yes!"

Li Goudan nodded immediately.

"It's just a penny, as long as you give me a penny, whoever dares to trouble you today, this official will definitely not spare him!"

Hearing Li Goudan's categorical words, the little old man who sold Hu Cakes suddenly showed a look of surprise.

"Really, it's just a penny?"

As he spoke, he took out a penny from his arms unconfidently, but when he saw Li Goudan stretching out his hand to him, he seemed to have made up his mind, and immediately took out a small string of copper coins from his arms and put it in Li Goudan's hand.

"My lord, Liu Er in the south of the city is too deceitful, and I hope that the adult will be the master of the little old man!"

Hearing his words, Li Goudan suddenly smiled slightly, took a penny from the small string of money, and then put the rest of the money back into the little old man's hand, and then smiled at him.

"It is said that a penny is a penny, this is ordered by His Royal Highness the Prince, and the official does not dare to disobey it, as for the Chengnan Liu Er you said, the previous official didn't care, if you want to sue him, you have to go to the yamen, but now it's different."

As he spoke, Li Goudan immediately pointed to the hundred cavalry guards standing behind him.

"See them? If Liu Er and Liu San dare to bully you again, you will come to them, understand? ”

"Got it!"

"If you understand, let's do business!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The little old man walked away with his own beard cake, while Li Goudan continued to bark to the side.

"Who else wants to pay protection money? Hurry up! ”

The onlookers next to him watched for a long time, and saw that Li Goudan and the others really only accepted a penny from the little old man just now, and immediately walked forward with a penny.

"My lord, I am a fish seller, and I will also pay this protection fee!"

Seeing this scene, Li Goudan suddenly glared at him.

"People who sell Hu cakes pay a penny, and you who sell fish also want to pay a penny? Go and go, don't come here to make trouble! ”

As soon as Li Goudan's words fell, there was a burst of laughter around him, and the fish seller also blushed, so the urn asked Li Goudan angrily, "Then how much do I have to pay?" ”

Listening to his words, Li Goudan nodded this time.

"Since you are a fish seller, then according to the fish you sell, you will give me as much as you make from selling a fish, and you will not be asked to lose money!"

I have to say that in Datang, the credibility of the officials is still good, and as soon as Li Goudan finished speaking, the fish seller immediately took out five cents from his arms and handed it to him.

Seeing this scene, the people around immediately understood, and immediately gathered around to pay the money.

"Adult, the villain sells pork, this is the villain's protection fee, three cents."

"The villain sells mountain goods, this is the villain's seven pennies."

"Adult ......"

Seeing so many people coming over to pay the money, Li Goudan began to collect the money with a smile.

"Don't rush, come one by one!"

With the first demonstration, the vendors behind them have a reference, so they naturally follow the same example, first say what they do, and then hand over the money, because there are acquaintances next to them, and no one dares to lie, everyone is telling the truth.

Just as Li Goudan was happily collecting the money, a cry suddenly came from the side.

"There's an old man over there who sells baked cakes and he's been beaten!"

Hearing this, the surroundings suddenly fell silent, and the vendors who were paying the money also stopped their movements.

Seeing this scene, Li Goudan, who was collecting money, suddenly turned black.
