This sudden sound made the fish village quiet all of a sudden. Everyone looked at the place where the voice came in, and they saw a middle-aged man in a green shirt coming in, although he looked a little embarrassed because of the hooked nose, but at the moment with a smile on his face, he looked modest and sunny. Although this person came in after asking first, he had obviously already identified the person he was looking for, and only stood still after the table of Du Shiyi and Pei Ning Lu Cong Wang Rong, and looked at everyone again, he bowed to Du Shiyi respectfully and said, "Dare to ask, but is it Yizhou Du Shiyu?" ”

"It's me," Du Shiyi unexpectedly thought that he had just arrived in Ezhou and had just eaten a meal before being approached by someone, and he couldn't help but feel a slight move in his heart.

"Du Shi Yu'an is well." The middle-aged man in the green shirt hurriedly saluted, and then saluted Pei Ning, who was dressed in a white robe on the side, "Pei Yushi." ”

Not only knew himself, but also recognized Pei Ning, Du Shiyi suddenly had a rough guess in his heart. Sure enough, Pei Ning just raised his eyebrows and asked bluntly: "Your master is the envoy of Ezhou Yuwen?" ”

"Exactly." The middle-aged man in the green shirt was told the origin, but he was still smiling with a smile on his face, "Yuwen envoy Jun learned that Du Shiyu and Pei Yushi had arrived, and immediately sent a certain person to greet him, but he was a step late when he arrived at the hostel. Fortunately, the shopkeeper knew where the two of them went, and they came all the way, but they finally didn't come to the air again. I don't know if Du Shiyu and Pei Yushi are free, can they take the time to go to the Assassin History Department for a while? ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that he was full of wine and food at the moment, Du Shiyi nodded happily: "Since Yuwen is so gracious, Pei Yushi and I will go to the Assassin History Department to pay a visit." You lead the way. ”

Now that the task has been completed, the middle-aged man in the green shirt was overjoyed, and after agreeing repeatedly, he immediately beckoned to the already stunned guy on the side, and handed over a bag of money, and then respectfully stepped aside and made a gesture of please. The group followed this person out of this fish village, Du Shiyi suddenly stopped thoughtfully, glanced at Wang Rong first, and immediately said to Lu Cong: "Lu Langjun, I took a boat all the way before, and it was a lot of fatigue, you and Yang Langjun took people back to the hostel to rest first." ”

Lu Cong didn't have a disagreement that he didn't see the history of this state assassination, but when he heard that Du Shiyi also left Wang Rong, he couldn't help but glance at the other party a little strangely. After arranging these, Du Shiyi beckoned Chen Bao'er to come over, and then ordered: "Bao'er, you go with me and Pei Yushi." ”

Chen Baoer's instructions to Du Shiyi have never been discounted, and she immediately agreed without asking a word at this moment. Only Wang Rong gave Du Shiyi a look of concern with some concern, and then nodded silently. Not long after their group was divided into two groups, one went back to the hostel, and the other followed the middle-aged man in green shirts to the Ezhou Thorn History Office, and there was an exclamation in the fish village just now.

"Yizhou Du Shiyu? Could this be the famous Du Jiulang? ”

"Chen Qi, you are unlucky now, you actually said that the tea soup with a weak clear soup is not delicious"

"Phew, people don't serve the emperor so immeasurable, but it's your vassal elegance that is disgusting"

The diners were once again joking and exclaiming, while the man who had served before stood there dumbfounded, holding his money bag, and Zuihou had a heavy blow on his head. He wanted to scold, but he looked up and saw that it was the shopkeeper, and when the words came to his mouth, he immediately swallowed them back. And the shopkeeper glared at him fiercely with hatred, and then he beat his chest with regret.

"I knew that it was this world-famous Du Jiulang, and he should have left his ink treasure, but now I missed the opportunity."

Out of Lifang and onto the street, the middle-aged man in green shirt led the way with a few entourages in front, and naturally opened a distance. And Chibi rode close to Du Shiyi's horse, and said in a low voice: "Lang Jun, when I was eating before, I noticed that someone was coming outside, but I kept wandering outside and didn't enter, and it didn't look like there was malicious intent, so I didn't report it." He should have waited until Lang Jun and his party finished eating, and then came in to meet each other. ”

Whether he breaks in while eating, or comes in after eating and invites, this reflects the quality of the servant's judgment of the situation. When Du Shiyi heard this, while bowing his head slightly, he also remembered the history of the Ezhou Yuwen assassin that Pei Ning had explained to him on the boat from Jiangling to Ezhou before.

Although Yuwenrong barely enjoyed the grace of too much shade, and he didn't gain much in the field, he started from the lowest step by step after entering the office, but the Yuwen family is also a veteran scholar after all, and the Ezhou Thorn Shi Yuwentong is the Ming Jing and the first, and the forty-year-old official guards one side, and is good at arguing for people, which can be regarded as a promising future. If it weren't for the limelight of Yuwenrong's birth, he would be the backbone of the Yuwen family. This person has been in office for 15 years and has served as an official for nine terms, which is a typical example of a person who has prosperous official fortunes.

And when he stepped into the Ezhou Thorn History Office and really saw Yuwentong, Du Shiyi had a sense of déjà vu. Although it was indeed the first time he and Yu Wentong had met each other, the other party and Yu Wenrong's similar faces, treating people and things the same, and even laughing a little alike, almost made him feel that the two were not ancestral brothers, but brothers-in-law. And Yu Wentong seemed to know this, and after greetings, he said with a smile: "I heard that Du Shiyu and my brother have a good relationship, so I invited each other abruptly." It was really Du Shiyu's fame all over the world, and after the city gate guards saw the office, they went to the Assassin History Department to report the news. ”

I don't know how many people have the same name and surname in the world, not to mention that the city gate guards often have hundreds of people who want to put in and out, and they don't notice their seemingly ordinary places at all, so when they hear this explanation, Du Shiyi doesn't know that Yuwentong has a set of dominance, and his subordinates' execution also has a set. Since he came, he naturally didn't care about these things, smiled and even beat them, and quickly brought this stubble over. When greeting Pei Ning, Yu Wentong did not show any estrangement, as if he didn't know or didn't care that he was the brother of Zhang Shuo's friend Pei Huang.

However, when Chen Bao'er stepped forward and saluted Yuwen as the king, Yuwentong's face showed a more sincere smile: "I have long heard my brother say that Du Shiyu accepted a proud disciple when he was in Shuzhong, and when I saw it today, it was really extraordinary." I didn't have any greeting gifts, but someone just gave him a rubbing of the Wei and Jin inscriptions, so I gave him a temporary post to learn the characters."

At this point, a servant brought a book on a tray. Chen Baoer glanced at Du Shiyi with some trepidation, and when he saw the teacher nodding, he hurriedly thanked and accepted it. When Du Shiyi and Pei Ning sat down one after another, he had to follow Du Shiyi to stand at his side, standing straight with his eyes, nose, nose and heart, but his ears were listening carefully to Yu Wentong's words.

Yuwentong first talked about the weather since Zhang Shuo stepped down, how Yuwenrong was reused by the Son of Heaven, and so on, and then gradually turned the topic to the matter of Cha Yinji.

"When my brother wrote to me before, he was amazed when he talked about the tea introduction. This kind of financial and important events, Du Shi Yu Nian Fang weak crown, but can think of it with foresight, it is really impressive, and what is even more rare is that this method is not to collect tea from the official sale, but to print tea citations, which is equivalent to only taxing merchants, and does not harm the interests of farmers, which really kills two birds with one stone......"

After praising this fresh tea policy in one breath, Yu Wentong changed his words and said: "It's just that Zhang Xiangguo and others in the DPRK and China were conservative and refused to be flexible, and they only opposed it for the sake of opposition, but fortunately, the sage was aware of everything, and the elder brother supported it, and this matter was finally implemented." However, for example, if the land where tea is grown today, there are only three or four provinces involved, dozens of states, and many states even produce very little, although it cannot be said to be slight in terms of national use, it is difficult to reach a considerable height in a short period of time. However, Song Kaifu has mentioned this, replacing the system of rent adjustment with two taxes, if it can really be done well, then it is the road to benefit the country and the people."

Pei Ning or Du Shiyi, as soon as he arrived in Ezhou, he was invited here by Yuwentong, and they all thought that the other party was going to talk about tea politics, but unexpectedly, this Ezhou assassin turned around and turned the topic to the two taxes Thinking that when Du Shiyi got the order from Pei Ning, he knew very well in his heart that compared with the reform of the two tax laws that was too wide involved and was very likely to cause a great backlash, the Son of Heaven was obviously more of a tea introduction method with quick opinions, so the envoy of the two taxes on his body was still there. But in terms of the order, he first asked him to sort out the tea politics of Jiannan Province and Jiangnan Huainan, which shows the priority

"That's what Yuwen Envoy Jun said."

Pei Ning used a general sentence of approval, which can be regarded as an answer to Yu Wentong's gushing remarks, while Du Shiyi did not say anything, but Yu Wentong was not discouraged, and then used Yu Wenrong to be ordered to take the field and the household as an example, and described to Du Shiyi a bright prospect if he was willing to take charge of the two tax matters - many of which Yu Wenrong mobilized extensive support from top to bottom, and even rose step by step with a little achievement, etc. Especially when he found that Du Shiyi showed his deep groan, Yu Wentong's lobbying worked even harder, and even threw out a big weight.

"I know that Du Shiyu is here for the sake of tea, and I won't tell you anything, since I got my brother's urgent letter, I have already started to prepare. There are not many tea gardens in Ezhou, and there are only less than 2,000 acres in total, so I have selected a few people under my command to visit the merchants, and the pros and cons of tea quotations have been explained to them, and they are all full of promises, as long as the Ezhou Tea Introduction Division is built, they will never dare to privately communicate with the tea household market tea, so Du Shiyu only needs to pick the people who introduce the tea here, and this matter will be done. ”

Hearing this, Du Shiyi didn't know that the other party's naked overture was to let him think about the proposal just now, and immediately smiled: "There is really Lao Yuwen as an envoy." I will definitely consider what I said, and live up to the kindness of the Yuwen Household Department."

"It's all your own people, why should Du Shiyu be polite?" The smile on Yu Wentong's face deepened, as if the deep horizontal lines on his forehead were stretched, "However, Ezhou is quite famous, such as Wu Wanglou and so on, all of which have a long history, and I will personally take Du Shiyu and Pei Yushi on a tour."
