The main mission of the Inspection Division is to command the local conscripted archers, to police the traitors and thieves, and to guard the key points of Guanjin. The inspection is only from the ninth product, if the county is a seven-grade sesame official, then the inspection can only be seen with a microscope.

But even so, it is good that there is a grade, and it can be officially registered in the Ministry of Officials, and the fake ones can be regarded as official eunuchs, especially the salt and iron pond is repaired as scheduled, and the merchant ships are moving money bags, and a little bit of a tap is not a small amount.

In order to officially celebrate becoming the "second generation of officials", Tang Yi personally prepared a sumptuous banquet for his father, and it was not worth inviting characters like Tang Shunzhi and Wei Liangfu, even Wang Shimao did not call in order to avoid suspicion. Only Lei Qi, Wu Tiancheng, Zhu Jia, Xu San, Qian Fatzi and others, everyone got together and there were no constraints. Eat and drink, talk loudly, but also feel free.

Wu Tiancheng said with a smile: "Master, I have asked more than a dozen merchants, they all have goods pressed on the canal, as long as the salt and iron pond is repaired, they are willing to go to the salt and iron pond, but how much tax they have to pay, and they have no idea in their hearts." What they mean is that the canal is 10 out of 10, so let's make it cheaper......"

"Dreaming!"

Without waiting for Tang Yi to speak, Lei Qi became angry, "Damn, when the little minister invited them to come over, they worked together to pay and contribute money and efforts to repair the canal, these things are good, they all ran away one by one, and there is a face to make us cheaper, what a big face!" ”

The fat man's face was red, and he hurriedly said: "Seventh master, don't poke down a boatload of people with a penny, my fat man's heart for the little minister is red, and it is more real than gold!" Looking at his oily and funny appearance, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, even if you still have a little conscience." Lei Qi said: "If you want me to say that they will charge according to the rules of the canal, they will wait for the things to rot on the ship if they don't pay." If fifty ships pass by every day, how much money can be collected? ”

Wu Tiancheng folded his fingers and calculated: "The size of the ship and the materials are different, just calculate according to one hundred taels per ship, draw one achievement is ten taels, fifty ships are five hundred taels, and a month is fifteen thousand taels!" ”

"Oh my God, that's so much money!"

Tang Yi said that he would be able to get back the canal investment in two or three years, but he didn't brag at all.

Except for the father and son of the Tang family, everyone else couldn't sit still, their eyes were red, and they couldn't wait to run to the canal immediately, carrying a knife and shouting domineeringly: "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, I want to fight here, and leave to buy road money!" Tang Yi suddenly became excited, how could it seem that when he arrived at Shuibo Liangshan, there were a group of bandits on the opposite side.

At this time, Shen Lin suddenly ran in from the outside and whispered in Tang Yi's ear, and Tang Yi's face changed instantly. Everyone stared at him in amazement.

"Yi'er, what's the matter?"

"Dad, there are some old friends, I'm going to meet them."

"Okay." Tang Xiucai readily agreed and said, "It's important to get down to business, and the banquet can be done at any time." ”

Tang Yi nodded, and hurriedly ran towards the front yard with Shen Lin, until he reached the living room, where two big men stood side by side at the door. They wore hats on their heads, green clothes on their bodies, bast shoes under their feet, leggings wrapped around their feet, and embroidered spring knives around their waists.

"Wait, I'll report." A man turned around and went in, and there was a hearty laugh in the house, and someone scolded: "What kind of master is the ignorant thing, when you are a guest at someone's house?" ”

The door curtain was raised, and it was Zhou Shuo, the Seventh Taibao, who came out, smiling at Tang Yi.

"The recklessness of coming, the little brother won't be surprised, right?"

"Whereever, I can't ask for it."

Zhou Shuo stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Yi in, and the two of them sat down separately. Zhou Shuo looked at the furnishings of the room, it was many times better than last time, and there was a coral more than three feet tall by the window, which was very conspicuous.

"Hahaha, it looks like the little brother's life is getting better and better?"

Tang Yi said with a smile: "If it weren't for the care of the Seventh Master, without the big backer of Jinyi Wei, the alcohol business would have been unable to go on for a long time." Don't say anything else, Seventh Master, I just made a batch of wine here, let's get drunk and rest. ”

Hearing the wine, Zhou Shuo's eyes lit up, and his mouth involuntarily secreted saliva. Chi Leng shook his head vigorously, and said bitterly: "You kid will pretend to be confused, I came all the way to do it, just for your wine?" ”

Of course Tang Yi knew that it wasn't, but he didn't want to poke it, so he continued to pretend to be stupid and said, "Little brother really can't think of anything merit for me, it's worth the Seventh Master's fight." ”

Zhou Shuo waved his hand and said angrily: "Little brother, don't pretend to be garlic with me, let's open the skylight and say something, the matter of the Japanese Kou, the saint is very angry." ”

"Oh?" Tang Yi couldn't help but ask: "Didn't Your Majesty send Zhu Zhiliang to prison, and sent Lord Wang Chen to supervise military affairs, and Lord Wang Chonggu took over Suzhou, isn't it enough?" ”

"Hmph, you are a fool to be a saint, and our Jinyiwei is a vegetarian?" Zhou Shuo sneered: "The Japanese invaded Jiading suddenly, steadily, accurately, and ruthlessly, and with one blow, they swept away, and also destroyed the embankment, flooded the farmland, and displaced more than 100,000 people. Such a big thing, without internal ghosts, can it be done? Let me tell you, Your Majesty was furious on the night he got the secret report, and he hurt the dragon's body! Zhou Shuo said in a low voice.

"Ah, I'm so angry that I'm vomiting blood?" Tang Yi couldn't help but be surprised.

Zhou Shuo smiled, "That's not true, it's the little eunuch who kicked off his toes and shed a lot of dragon blood!" ”

That's because his toes are too long, and the dragon's blood, except for the heavy metals that exceed the standard, Jiajing's blood is nothing special, and it is fishy to do hairy blood!

Zhou Shuo was full of loyalty, how could Tang Yi be so rebellious, and said with palpitations: "Your Majesty is angry, let Jinyiwei send someone to investigate and figure out the reason for colluding with the Japanese Invaders." How about it, what clues does the little brother have? ”

Tang Yi has some clues, but he can't say them casually.

"Seventh Master, for more than a month, all my efforts have been spent on refugees, and I really have no time to take care of anything else, so I want to disappoint Seventh Master."

Tang Yi's tone was sincere, Zhou Shuo didn't hear anything unusual, nodded and said: "Little brother, you have tens of thousands of refugees under your command, some of them must know something, please be more careful, little brother." ”

"Didn't say that." Tang Yi smiled: "Willing to serve." ”

"Okay, I'm going to Jiading in a hurry and say goodbye." Zhou Shuo walked to the door, turned his head again, and said, "Prepare the wine, and when you find out, I'll drink it again!" ”

……

The night was hazy, Tang Xiucai slowly filled the stove with silver filigree, the water in the cast iron pot was rolling, the heat was almost over, he padd it with a rag, grabbed the teapot, and filled the bowl with hot water for the two of them.

The Shifeng Longjing in front of the Ming Dynasty slowly unfolded, the color is green, fragrant, mellow, the shape is beautiful, it can be called the best in the tea. Tang Xiucai held the tea bowl and slowly chanted: "The wind blows the drunken guests, taking advantage of the excitement to cross the mountain house, the clouds are flooded with dragon sand water, and the spring equinox stone is full of flowers." The new fragrance of the tea is finer, and the small boiling is especially good, if you don't cook the loose fire, the suspicious meal is a glow. Hehe, it's not a luxury for my father, this year's new tea is coming down, and last year's tea will be wasted if you don't drink it all. ”

Tang Yi's explanation to his father has never been cold, and he just said if he wanted to drink good tea, anyway, he couldn't afford it.

Tang Yi poured a sip, smashed it, and couldn't help but say: "I don't feel anything, it's not as good as jasmine tea!" ”

"Hmph, burn the qin and cook the crane, spoil the scenery, greatly spoil the scenery!" Tang Xiucai turned his head angrily, tasted it alone, and swallowed it slowly, so three times, the fragrance of tea lingered on the tip of his tongue, and he was like a fairy.

However, Tang Yi's words pulled Tang Xiucai back from the fairyland.

"Dad, Jinyiwei is here."

Poof, Tang Xiucai coughed a few times and almost choked, Tang Yi picked up a handkerchief and helped his father wipe his clothes. Tang Xiucai didn't think about it and asked, "It's Jinyiwei who just came?" ”

"Well, it's Zhou Shuo last time, he said that the emperor wants to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Japanese and find out the ghosts."

"Good! This is long overdue! Tang Xiucai slapped his thigh and said, "Don't you suspect that Shen Liang is colluding with the Japanese robbers, hurry up and report it, let Jinyiwei do it, get rid of the thieves, and return justice to the people." ”

Tang Xiucai was happy to say it, but found that his son buried his head in his chest and didn't listen to it at all.

"What, what your dad said is wrong?"

"Hey!" Tang Yi let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "Dad, you are the one who wants to be an official, how can you reassure the child?" ”

"Looking for a fight!" Tang Xiucai glared at his son, and his head cooled down, if he really wanted to investigate thoroughly, he should have sent a special messenger to coordinate all parties and work together to handle the case. Now that only Jinyi Wei has been sent, it really doesn't make sense to come secretly.

"Yi'er, then what do you mean by the emperor?"

"Hard to say?"

Tang Xiucai sank down and said, "Is there anything else you kid doesn't know?" ”

"Dad, I'm not a jack of all trades, but what I'm talking about is that the emperor himself can't tell!"
