"You doll, looking at its unsightly appearance, it turns out that you are still a talented man? It's rude, it's rude. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When everyone stopped to rest, the leader of the horse gang heard that this unattractive child was still a showman, and he was very respectful for a while, and hurriedly came up to give a salute.

When the car was parked, the guests and the group of people in the caravan were sitting in two piles, and the leader of the caravan had pointed ears, and he couldn't hold it back when he heard the guests say this, so he came over and said.

"The kid is just lucky to have to be taken care of by Master Kuixing."

Li Gouyu said modestly.

The people of this era have a lot of respect for scholars, and it stands to reason that you can't raise your head when you talk to Xiucai, and you have to be humble to death, otherwise it's not rude for people to ignore you!

However, when you go out, everything is simple, and most of the horse gangs are rough men, so naturally there is not so much messy attention.

"Let's go, take a step and speak."

The leader of the horse gang said this, and then stretched out his hand to lead Li Gouyu to the side, and a shrewd brilliance flashed in his eyes on his rough face.

What is he going to do?

Li Gouyu was a little puzzled, he didn't reveal his identity as Xiucai when he came from Yanggu, so he didn't know much about what adventures Xiucai had when he added himself, and now what is the matter with this horse gang leader Shen Dao?

"Okay, Brother Guo, tell me something."

After walking a few steps, seeing that he was about to walk to the side of the grove, Li Gouyu said.

"Done." The leader of the horse gang surnamed Guo smiled: "When the little brother came, I believed that there was such a thing on the road, and I believe that he was also familiar with the road. ”

After that, Lao Guo took out two ingots of silver from the cloth bag he carried, one large and one small, the big silver ingot was fifty taels, and the small one was five taels.

"The five taels of silver ingots belong to you, and the fifty taels of silver will be handed over to the officials who keep the card when you pass the checkpoint for a while, I believe that you are already familiar with these when you come, and you don't need the old man to teach, these five taels of silver ingots are considered to be thanks, and I will also free up a clean carriage for you on the road, and it is not good to insult Sven."

It turns out that this is the job that Lao Guo said.

"When our caravan passes the card, the general checkpoint will go down layer by layer of silver, alas, ......" Lao Guo said that this also poured bitter water: "When our horse gang crosses the checkpoint, sometimes the money is twenty to one, and when I meet those black-hearted soldiers, sometimes I can pick up one out of ten!"

Our horse gang is exposed to the sun and rain in the south and north every day, in fact, it is also to earn that hard money! Others are greedy and say that our people's pockets are bulging, and the things we ship are sold at a dead price, but who knows our suffering? ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court inhibited the development of industry and commerce, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, so the tax rate on the things charged by buyers and sellers was also quite high, and the government was eager to rely on this method to increase fiscal revenue and compete with the people, so the merchants were also bitter.

"But you're different, you're a talented man, and the average official doesn't dare to slack off when he sees it, and those little officials who look down on people naturally don't dare to be difficult for you, to be honest, usually when we pass the card in front, we Lao Guo has to scatter a lot of silver to get out of the customs, but if you go out, I believe that this ingot of silver is enough, and it is quite beneficial to you and me, how so?"

Lao Guo said sincerely, and finally took the silver to lure him: "I know that the scholar is high, but if he is out of the house, if he really doesn't have some silver, he will never be able to do it, if this thing is done, I Lao Guo will naturally have silver money to give, Xiao Xianggong, deal?" ”

"Okay, I'll try, but whether it succeeds or not, I'm quite unsure in my heart." This person takes good care of himself on the road, and Li Gouyu doesn't mind doing this trick, but he still has some drumming in his heart, and he knows that he doesn't need to open the way to go out to fight with a sword, but can this thing be done?

"Thank you very much, whether it works out or not, you have taken the five taels of silver." Old Guo Yan smiled and groaned.

"You still fucking eat, and you're not afraid of getting drunk all day long!" After talking about things, Lao Guo led Li Gou to come over, and kicked a horse gang drunk who was drinking: "Damn, don't you see that this is a little showman?" Why don't you hurry up and pack up a carriage and come out! Is it humiliating to let Xiucai nest in a carriage full of goods like you, a rough-skinned man? ”

"Okay, let's go, let's go." Listening to the anger of the man surnamed Guo, this drunk man didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ran out to move things.

The carriages were jammed, and it was not easy to free one, and this man was also busy working, and after a while he was sweating profusely.

"No, it's just a lot of people and it's lively, in fact, you don't have to worry about me so much." Li Gouyu was a little embarrassed.

"Yes, yes." The kung fu of changing the face of people who go south and north is also a must, and this man is still with horizontal eyebrows, but now he has a smiling face: "Xiucai Gong doesn't have to mind, it's not troublesome." ”

People are Xiucai, and it is natural to have special courtesy, and everyone is not surprised, and they also praised Lao Guo and said that he respects scholars, and it should be like this when he meets Xiucai.

Li Gouyu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't refuse, since he gave it, he took it.

In fact, the fact that one person rides in a carriage sounds bullish, but it is not comfortable to sit up!

The carriage itself was bumpy, and when he was sitting, his upper and lower teeth were fighting, and there was no one to talk to, and he couldn't read, Li Gouyu was also quite bored, except for lifting the curtain from time to time to look at the scenery, there was nothing to do!

After running for more than two hours, it was already the afternoon, and the carriage suddenly stopped, and Lao Guo came over and lifted the curtain: "Xiucaigong, there is a checkpoint ahead." ”

Li Gou Yu will understand, this is the same as Lao Guo stepped forward, this time Lao Guo was more respectful than Fang Cai, and his body fell behind the dog left, and he looked like a subordinate.

"Hey, this official is good."

Dealing with these soldiers is obviously Lao Guo is also familiar with the road, and when he is about to reach the checkpoint, he walks forward quickly and is warm.

The soldier guarding the gate was a little impatient, and looked at the sun: "The sky is about to darken, and the brothers are going to rest, don't pass, don't pass, wait for tomorrow to talk about it early!" ”

"Don't mind, Master Jun, look at all the things we have here, it's a big deal if it's delayed." Lao Guo understood, so he handed a few pieces of silver to this military master, you pushed me, only to hear a slight click, and the silver fell into the sleeve of this military master.

This is the best thing in the sleeve.

The military master accepted the money, and the anger on his face softened a little: "Well, this." ”

"This is the young master of my family, and he is a talented man."

Li Gouyu had already walked to the front of the checkpoint at this time, and Lao Guo introduced the "little master" with a black and red face in front of him.

This son has a bit of temperament with his head raised and his chest straight, and the military master thought that he was a young shopkeeper, but he was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Are you a talented man?" ”

"Not bad."

Li Gouyu's face was arrogant, at this time, Lao Guo just taught, you can't be humble when you look at these gatekeepers who look down on people, this is called Hades easy to see, and the little ghost is difficult.

As he spoke, Li Gouyu took out his talent paperwork.

Xiucai generally carries paperwork with him when he goes out, which is much more valuable than the ID card and graduation certificate of later generations.

The sergeant may not be able to read and write, but he can't recognize the fake when he sees more than eighty percent of this thing, and the bright official seal is what you ordinary people dare to fake?

"It's rude, it's rude." The soldier looked at the paperwork and changed his face with a very ugly smile: "I don't know Mount Tai with my eyes, it's rude and rude, you are a scholar, amazing, amazing." ”

"Okay, I'm going to get the card, you can check the things in the carriage quickly." Saying that, Xiu Caigong, who was very angry, took out the fifty taels of silver given by Lao Guo in advance.

"Look at you, it's a joke, I dare to check the things of Xiucaigong?" With a smile on his face, the soldier grabbed his spear and waved his hand violently: "Release, release!" ”

Li Gouyu was embarrassed to say it, but he was suddenly shocked in his heart: "That's it?" ”

"Xiucai has been with you, you have passed, and the card is naturally open for readers."

"Okay, thank you, you have accepted the silver, don't say that my family will not come to trouble, I can't afford to lose this person!"

This is also taught by Lao Guo, which is called courtesy.

"You laughed, I still dare to accept the money of the reader? If you have passed, you will rest assured that you will be bold! As he spoke, he urged towards the close: "Old buttress, you mother, let me go quickly!" (To be continued.) )
