It's just the autumn grain of a local county, and it's not the turn of the big guys to come forward. The reception of Sun Yuan and the four was only the ambassador of a carrier depot sent by the Nanjing Ministry of Household to the Fengyang official office.

The ambassador of the household carrier warehouse is surnamed Liang Mingzhong, who is the eighth product, and belongs to the last class of government agencies in the Ming Dynasty. The head of the household department stationed in the Central Metropolitan Government Office is just a principal of the six products.

Although the ambassador's official position is small, because he is in charge of the power of storing autumn grain, he has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in hand every year, and the shelf is quite large.

Seeing that Sun Yuan's body was full of dust and dirt, he was very unhappy in his heart.

When he received the survey documents and road guide slips sent by Sun Yuan, he also pointed two fingers, as if he was afraid of getting dirt on Sun Yuan's body.

He glanced down and said in a procrastinating voice, "It turns out that your name is Sun Yuan." ”

"If you go back to the master, Xiaomin is Sun Yuan." Sun Yuan hurriedly bowed.

Mao Cheng, Zhou Wu, and Jiang Shisan played all their prestige in front of Sun Yuan during the day, but in fact, they were also uninformed turtles, when they entered the hall of the central organ in the household department, they also knelt down, buried their heads on the ground, and did not dare to look up to take a second look.

Liang Zhong: "Rugao has a total of 10,000 stones of white grain in Fengyang, the capital of Beijing this year, but all of them have been solved?" ”

Sun Yuan: "If you go back to the master, you have already counted them all." ”

"Smack!" Liang Zhong suddenly slapped the case on the case, and shouted angrily: "As early as two months ago, a document came over from Nanjing, saying that your autumn grain from Rugao County should be sent to Zhongdu. But a month and a half has passed, and you don't come on the left and can't see anyone on the right, what are you doing? ”

It is the rule of the central authorities to give the people who come to do business below a dismount, so that they can know the majesty of the imperial court and be in awe.

Seeing Ambassador Liang's anger, the three of them trembled, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Sun Yuan didn't think so in his heart, let alone in a feudal society, even in modern times. If you want to enter a government office to do things, it is not difficult to enter the door and your face is ugly, not because people deliberately make it difficult for you, but because officialdom is like this.

It's just an eight-pin ambassador sent by the Nanjing Ministry of Household Affairs to the Zhongyu Bureau, and it is quite light to be scolded loudly. If it is replaced by the Beijing Ministry of Officials, a small seven-grade official, he dares to point to the governor of a province and scold his mother.

Sun Yuan was not angry, just quietly waiting for Liang Zhong to vent.

After a while, Liang Zhong scolded enough, then picked up the pen and wrote a few words on Kanhe, and then threw it down: "You first take this voucher and put the grain into the warehouse, and then send the receipt." After the official checks that there is no error, he will send it to the person in charge to file the case and file it with a photo for verification, and finally use the seal, and then you can go back. Do you understand? ”

Sun Yuan: "Xiaomin has already understood. While Liang Zhong was speaking, Sun Yuan was also observing this person.

According to him, this Liang Zhong is not the key person he wants to find, the key should be on the principal, only the head of the household department has the power to sign and use the seal.

As a grain chief in his Sun Yuan District, it is impossible to get on the line with the head of the household department. However, it is possible to pass this surname Liang.

This person was born white and fat, and he was not full of energy when he spoke, and he was an eight-grade official from a non-serious background. Don't think about it, he must be a greedy person, well, I have to find something for him today. First, it can be logically delayed in Fengyang and dragged on to the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year; Second, there is a reason to continue to contact him.

Thinking of this, Sun Yuan didn't move, still looking up at Liang Zhong.

Liang Zhong was puzzled and shouted: "If you understand it, you won't do anything?" ”

Sun Yuan suddenly pretended to be honest, and asked in a snort: "Dare to ask Ambassador Liang, how much is the fee for us to escort the autumn grain to Zhongdu this time?" ”

The so-called subsidy fee means that after the local summer rice and autumn grain are sent to the capital for storage, the imperial court will extract a part of it as a freight return.

The amount of the subsidy varies depending on the distance of the journey.

Hearing Sun Yuan ask about this, Liang Zhong was very unhappy and said coldly: "What are you asking about, the imperial court has its own system, and you will be indispensable when the time comes." ”

Sun Yuan shook his head: "Master Ambassador, this time to escort the autumn grain, Xiaomin has put the entire family foundation in." If you don't give a letter, the little people will always feel unreliable in their hearts. ”

Seeing that Sun Yuan stubbornly wanted to ask the number, Liang Zhong's face was gloomy, and he shouted: "Good bastard thing, but I questioned Lord Ben." Okay, I'll let you understand today. You Rugao to Fengyang's subsidy fee of eight stones as one stone. ”

"How is that possible!" Suddenly, Sun Yuan suddenly shouted in an earth-shattering voice: "My lord, isn't it three stones as one stone according to the usual practice?" ”

This shout made Liang Zhong startled, the fat on his face trembled, and shouted: "Is it eight stones as one stone?" ”

Sun Yuan shook his head: "No, no, I already said hello when I came, it is three as one, how can it be eight as one." As he spoke, he deliberately straightened his fingers and counted them one by one.

Liang Zhong was furious: "What a Diao Min, is your autumn grain still in storage?" ”

As he spoke, he shouted again, "Come on, blast these four bastards out of me!" ”

Mao Cheng heard sweat on his forehead, and hurriedly pulled Sun Yuan's sleeve: "Chief Sun Liang, you just follow Master Liang's!" ”

"No, it shouldn't be like this." Sun Yuan shook off the presumptuous and shouted: "I have lost my capital, so forget it, even if I accompany all my family foundations, it will not be enough for the expenses along the way." Sir, you can't do this! No, you have to talk to Xiaomin about the subsidy first, and then I will put the autumn grain into the warehouse! ”

Just as they were shouting, two officials rushed in and shouted at Sun Yuan and the four of them: "Get out, get out!" ”

Liang Zhong saw that Sun Yuan's face was honest and his clothes were shabby, and he knew that this was a rammer who had not passed away from the world, and it was most unreasonable to talk about this kind of rough person.

That's right, according to the rules of the imperial court, the white grain subsidy from Rugao to Fengyang is indeed three stones as one stone, and this guy doesn't know where he heard about it, so he admits death. Hmph, if you take three as one, there are so many adults above who eat and drink.

This bastard thing dares to talk nonsense with this official and look for death!

He sneered: "You don't have to enter the warehouse!" ”

"Unconscious, unconscious!" Sun Yuan jumped up violently, pointed at Liang Zhong and scolded.

When had Liang Zhong been scolded like this, a vicious anger rose in his heart, and he shouted: "Fight out!" "This Diao people are really hateful, and they dare to scold their own officials. Okay, okay, the official will let you stay in Fengyang for half a year.

The two officials waited for their lives, and came with water and fire sticks.

Sun Yuan is such an elf person, waiting for Liang Zhong's order, he rushed out of the house first.

The poor three of them were barricaded in the hall and rolled all over the ground with sticks.

There was a constant fluffy sound, and everyone felt chills in their hearts.

When the three of them escaped from the yamen with their heads in their hands, they all had blue noses and swollen faces, and Jiang Shisan's nose was broken, and his chest was full of mottled bloodstains.

However, the officials of the Fengyang Official Office of the Ministry of Household Affairs did not kill them, and they were also measured under the stick, so these three people suffered skin injuries.

Seeing the three of them so unlucky, Sun Yuan's heart was happy.

Whether ancient or modern, he is clear about the virtues of government officials. I can be regarded as offending Liang Zhong this time, although Ambassador Liang is not going to do anything with him, but it is still possible to dry the autumn grain in Rugao County for ten days and a half months without putting it into the warehouse.

With such a large food team and so many people, the daily cost of eating and drinking is a big amount, and it is impossible to resist anyone's head.

However, Sun Yuan had planned to stay in Fengyang until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and if Ambassador Liang really wanted to retaliate like this, he would be in his hands.
