When Du Jin returned to the bow cabin without finding anything, it was already more than half an hour later.

This boat is a new boat specially selected by Wu Shouzheng, the wood fragrance has not completely dispersed, not to mention that there is any hidden mystery and so on, there are neat and unobstructed rooms everywhere, Du Jin even asked people to open one of the suitcases containing the clothes of the servants, and let people weigh the weight of several other suitcases, but still nothing. When it came to this, he was a fool and knew that he was being yin this time, so when he saw the smiling Xu Xun again, he was full of depression and couldn't let it out.

"Xu Gongzi is young, and he is really extraordinary. Our family's mistake is that we shouldn't just notice the Wei State Mansion, but only think that you are a small character. Hey, how can the person who can get Sun Gonggong to pass the decree to Beijing be a small role? ”

"Du's grandfather has won the award." Xu Xun arched his hand, and then said with sincerity, "Compared with the Duke of Wei's mansion, the kid is really not worth mentioning. Compared with those old ladies who were ordered to go to Beijing, my trip to Beijing was just an idle post of a guard, so I really didn't have the ability to buy those valuable goods, so I could only do so many worthless gadgets to give away. ”

Take those tattered things that can pull a big cart of silver and give them away in Beijing! This kid thinks he's somebody!

When Du Jin heard this, he almost had an urge to vomit blood. But the next moment, he suddenly caught a word that he had almost missed before. Guards? He heard it right, this has always only been a nominal title that Xungui's children will get before they are awarded a military position, how could it be given to the kid in front of him, and it was Xiao Jing's godgrandson Sun Bin who personally went on a trip? If it's really Xiao Jing after this trip...... The eunuch Xiao Jing has had several ups and downs, and he has always been old and unique, and even Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, dared not to be lenient at the jury trial, not to mention that he is just such a small role?

Thinking of this, Du Jin's arrogance was gradually thrown into Java. The situation is stronger than people, if he really caught any tricks just now, but now that he is defeated, he can't carry it so hard. So, he finally squeezed out a smile on his face that had been rigid......

Du Jin didn't even believe what he said, but he couldn't help but say it. However, what he never expected was that he was picked up only halfway through his words.

"Du's father-in-law is loyal to his duties, where can I talk about the word rude? As for the things that are messed up, I'll let them clean up when I go back. Everyone knows that the most difficult thing in the Ming Dynasty is to close the banknotes, and if you are strict, people will impeach you for collecting money strictly, but if you loosen it, you can't complete the quota set this year. The hot day was busy under the lie, and Du's father-in-law was really hard. ”

Just sank to the bottom all of a sudden, and at this moment he was suddenly held to the sky, even if Du Jin was extremely smart, he was already a little confused at this time. However, what he wants now is just for the other party to let go of this matter and not pursue it, at least not to make a fuss in face at this time, otherwise he has had to "cooperate" with him for the past three months, and Liu Yushi will definitely beat the snake with the stick and bite him back. Therefore, even if he swallowed a fly in his throat, he still had to take advantage of the situation and say a few words, until Xu Xun sent him out of the warehouse, he suddenly remembered the ship material and the tax money, and he suddenly reacted with a spirit.

Just now, he collected taxes and detained the ships on those official ships in front of him, but this trip was stubbornly planted, and the head of the head and Liu Yushi couldn't take the excuse that people were ordered to enter Beijing but were embarrassed by him, but he could find an excuse for his private indulgence. Moreover, he easily got this position this time, so that the emperor would know that he could not only accumulate wealth but also be honest, so that he could be reused, if he really retreated from the difficulty...... At this time, he had to turn his body stiffly, and tried his best to say with the most kind smile: "Young Master Xu, the money for this ship material and tax, according to the rules, our family really has to collect ......."

"How much is the rule?"

Du Jin was suddenly interrupted by Xu Xun, and hesitated for a moment, and then laughed and said: "This tax, since Xu Gongzi has brought so many worthless things, it means to take a few banknotes, but as for the money for this ship, there is a fixed amount." From Nanjing to Beijing, the full amount is 500 banknotes. So ......"

Facing Du Jin, who had no grandeur on his face and even accompanied him carefully, Xu Xun did not answer, but stood there silent. Until Du Jin became more and more uncomfortable standing up, the hatch opened, but it was Latham who came over with a small box. At this time, Xu Xun stretched out his hand to take it, and without looking at it, he held it with both hands: "Dugong Gonggong, this is the ship material and goods tax you said." Before leaving, the Duke of Wei entrusted me to take care of the fourth prince and the prince, so the boat in the Duke of Wei's mansion was also supported by me. There is nothing on my boat, but there are still some southern goods on the boat, which is forty taels of tax, and the new money of the ship is a thousand yuan, and I ask you to count the amount. ”

When Du Jin saw the box handed to him, his head was in chaos, but after all, he didn't forget to reach out and take it himself. He even forgot what the reserved shelf was, and actually opened it to his face and looked at it. Seeing that there were two silver ingots resting on the neat pile of treasure bills, he woke up like a dream, took a deep breath, and looked at Xu Xun as if he had just met.

"Xu Gongzi is young, and he can't imagine that he is so old!"

"Where, where. Du Gonggong is good at financial management, and he is honest in his work, so it is no wonder that he can take care of this Linqing money pass in an orderly manner. To be honest, I have passed through several banknotes along the way, and there has not been one like Du Gonggong who is so hands-on and fair. Speaking of which, before I left, the Nanjing garrison Gonggong Fu and Gonggong Zheng also entrusted me to bring a lot of things to the fathers-in-law in the palace, including Gonggong Li, the master of ceremonies. It is expected that Gonggong Li knows that Linqing Banknote Pass is in such a scene at the moment, and he will definitely feel that there is another capable person under his name. ”

People love to listen to good words, not to mention that Du Jin works hard to seek fame, and he can only be reused after returning to Beijing with fame. However, his smile gradually became a little unnatural after Xu Xun pointed out his origin, especially when Xu Xun mentioned the six words of Master of Ceremonies Li Gonggong, his mood was complicated.

In the end, he was pecked by the geese, he really didn't know Mount Tai this time, at first he only thought it was a small person, and then he felt that at most it was a good chance to vote for the sacred heart, maybe it was Xiao Jing who had something to do with the big guys, who knew that it was related to these many fatal characters. Moreover, everyone thought that he took the path of Zhang Heling, Marquis of Shouning, and got the position of tax supervisor through Empress Zhang, but where did Empress Zhang remember the person with his name, but he took out his full wealth to bribe a female official next to Empress Zhang, so that Empress Zhang thought that he was the person of Marquis Shouning. Although his godfather was recorded in the name of Li Rong, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, he died early, and even Li Rong himself had forgotten a lot of things, and completely forgot that there was such a disciple as him!

Therefore, Du Jin couldn't help but tentatively say: "Gongzi Xu and Gonggong Fu and Gonggong Zheng are ......"

"I'm ashamed, I'm just that Grandpa Fu and Grandpa Zheng trust, so because I entered Beijing, they just sent me to run an errand."

If it had been changed just now, Du Jin would have listened to whatever it was, but at this time, he couldn't believe Xu Xun's humble words. So he chose his surname to skip these errand words, and asked carefully: "It's not that I poured cold water on Xu Gongzi, the ancestors of the celebrant all live in the palace, and even if Xu Gongzi wants to see him, it is not so convenient." ”

"Thank you Du's father-in-law for your kind reminder. My boy is a clever person selected by Grandpa Fu, and now Grandpa Xiao is old and needs someone to serve him, so this trip to Beijing is also intended to send him to serve Grandpa Xiao, the master of ceremonies. Gonggong Xiao had already opened a letter from the celebrant to Nanjing to ask for someone, and I took a piece of it to Beijing this time, and then I just delivered the letter outside the Xuanwu Gate of the Imperial City. ”

Du Jin has never paid attention to Ruisheng beside Xu Xun, and at this time, he took a closer look, and as an internal official, he immediately saw the clue, and there was no disbelief at this time. After all, if it's fake, just using eunuchs is a big crime, and if it's true, how much face does this Xiao Jing have to name the person who is going to go?

Thinking of this, his original resentment or depression disappeared without a trace, and he actually stood at the bow of the boat with a smile and almost set up with Xu Xun. When Xu Xun came to the end and asked if he saw Li Rong and what did Du Gonggong have to bring with him, his heart jumped suddenly, and after thinking about it, he finally felt that he might as well give it a try, so he immediately took out a bag from his arms and handed it over, and whispered to Xu Xun.

Before leaving, Du Jin had long since ceased to be a mouthful, unspeakably polite in his words, and finally even took a big stride with a deep smile on his face before getting off the boat, and all the small emotions that were busy on a hot day before were thrown out of the clouds. Seeing this scene, the entourage who had just been driven far away and didn't know what the two had said hurriedly came up one by one to make amends, and after a short time, they all picked up their tails and got off the boat.

It wasn't until he saw these people leave that Xu Xun breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately took Ruisheng to get off the ship and go to the front boat. As soon as he entered Wang Shikun's cabin, he saw that this noble son was frowning and drinking iced sour plum soup, so he smiled and said, "It's over, a thousand yuan of treasure money plus forty taels of silver." ”

Hearing this, Wang Shikun almost squirted out of his nose with a mouthful of sour plum soup, and hurriedly grabbed the handkerchief in the hand of the girl on the side and wiped his head and face, and he said in disbelief: "What, just a little bit?" Nowadays, a thousand treasure banknotes are worth a few dollars...... Just now, my brother-in-law's steward went down to inquire about the market, saying that the last time the British duke's ship was blackmailed 200 taels, and it was real silver, and we have two boats! This Du Jin doesn't eat hard and soft, but because Zhang Heling is behind him, plus the monthly tax and silver are released back to the capital on time, several bigwigs in the cabinet have praised him for being honest, how did you fool the past? ”

Xu Xun shook his fan with a smile, and said with a sly face: "Haven't you heard of a sentence?" Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. ”

Although it is just a eunuch who is about to clear the banknotes, but today he slapped a sweet date, even if this association is built, it is still useful!
