Entering the Xuanfu Governor's Mansion was a small scribe in the household department.

The scribe's surname is Tian Mingheng, a native of Haizhou, and Tian Xinli is of the same ancestry. After Tian Xinli entered Beijing, he was told by the Intelligence Bureau that he had the same sect, so he contacted Tian Heng, because Tian Heng was depressed in the household department, and after several work, Tian Heng joined the Intelligence Department and became a hidden spy. This time, the task of raising food for the Intelligence Department was heavy, and the cooperation of the household department was needed, so Gonggong De personally came forward to ask for a receipt from the household department, and by the way, Tian Heng also came out. Let him go to Xuanfu and other official offices to raise grain and grass as a household department.

Hearing that someone from the household department was coming, Luo Hengxin didn't dare to slack off. Meet you in person at the door of the Governor's Palace.

"Lord Governor, I'm tormenting the students." As soon as he saw Luo Hengxin come out in person, Tian Heng hurriedly stepped forward, bent down and gave a deep salute, and said, "How dare the student come out to greet the Governor of Labor in person." Sin! O sin! ”

Luo Hengxin didn't come out of his intention to greet him, but because the person who came was the key to the Yamen, even if the other party was a little scribe, he had to greet him in person.

Seeing that the other party was young and spoke appropriately, he didn't show any impatient color on his face.

"Lord Tian has traveled thousands of miles to come here in the poor countryside and be diligent in the king's affairs, this is the model of my generation!" Luo Hengxin laughed and stretched out his hand to invite Tian Heng into the house.

Tian Heng hurriedly turned sideways and arched his hand: "Lord Governor, please!" ”

Seeing that the other party was so polite, Luo Hengxin nodded and said, "Lord Tian, please!" Luo has been on the border for many years, and he has long forgotten a lot of red tape! Come, come! Let's go, go together! ”

Tian Heng was no longer hypocritical, and nodded hurriedly and smiled: "Lord Governor is really temperamental!" No wonder there is so much praise from the DPRK and China! ”

Luo Hengxin listened. Haha smiled, stretched out his hand to grab Tian Heng's arm, and pulled him into the Governor's Palace.

Enter the Governor's Palace, and sit down as the guest of honor. The two chatted.

Luo Hengxin wanted to know Tian Heng's intentions, and when he saw that Tian Heng had no intention of talking about it, it was difficult to mention it. Unexpectedly, Tian Heng also saw that Luo Hengxin didn't ask, and it was hard to say. So, the two of them talked nonsense in a harmonious manner.

Finally, Luo Hengxin couldn't help it. He opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Tian is from the capital, I don't know what important tasks are shouldered?" ”

As soon as he heard Luo Hengxin ask, Tian Heng hurriedly got up and said, "Go back to the governor to inquire." It is indeed a big deal for Xia Guan to come here. After speaking, he took out the slip from his arms and held it to Luo Hengxin with both hands.

Luo Hengxin took the slip in surprise. After a sweep. Taken aback, he asked, "What happened to Jingshi?" Why did the decree come a few days ago, and now it comes to the household receipt? ”

Will? Tian Heng chuckled in his heart, and sure enough, it was not what Director Li expected. Hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the governor has received an order asking the governor to hoard grain and grass for war, and not to allocate grain and grass?" ”

Seeing Tian Heng say his will, Luo Hengxin nodded hesitantly and said, "The will does require this." It's just that Luo feels a little weird. In the past two years, there have been some changes outside the border. But only a few tribes of the Nava and Tatars came to the grass valley in winter, and the scale was not large. Luo bathed in the holy grace, and the governor of Xuanfu Datong did not dare to slack off, nor did he find that there was a large-scale troop movement of foreign tribes. Could it be that the DPRK and China received other local secret guarantees? ”

Luo Hengxin saw that Tian Heng was silent, knowing that he was just a small scribe, and it was difficult to know about such a major military incident, so he did not ask. But this will is contrary to the meaning of the voucher, and I have to consider it.

Tian Heng knew that this time he came to the Governor's Mansion in vain. Since Luo Hengxin received the order not to allocate grain and grass, and wanted to raise grain and grass from him, according to Luo Hengxin's personality, the task may come to naught.

"Lord Tian, since the will has been made clear that grain and grass should not be allocated outside, Luo can't help this household department's voucher."

Tian Heng nodded, thought for a while, and bowed his hand and said, "The meaning of the governor is understood." The governor followed the will and hoarded grain and grass for war, which should be the first priority. When the lower officials went out of Beijing, the household department raised grain and grass according to the rules, also to prepare for the war. Even so, the lower officials had to raise money from other means. It's just that the affairs of raising grain and grass are heavy, and the lower officials are only a scribe in the household department, with little power and little power, and they also hope that the governor will issue a slip, so that the lower officials can complete the affairs as soon as possible. ”

A slip? Luo Hengxin couldn't help but be stunned. Does he want to raise grain and grass in the counties below Xuanfu? Then how can you hoard grain and grass by yourself, can Xuanhua City raise it in one city? That's not going to work!

"Lord Tian doesn't want to go to the following states and counties to raise money?"

Tian Heng originally thought so, but when Luo Hengxin asked, it could be seen that he didn't want to raise it in Xiazhou County by himself, so it seemed that he had to retreat to the second. Tian Heng hurriedly said: "The governor wants to raise grain and grass, how can the lower officials go to the lower states and counties again." Now, the lower officials can only raise money from the major grain merchants, and they also hope that the governor will be accommodating. ”

Raised from a grain merchant? This is a good idea, but it may not work right now. Luo Hengxin shook his head and said, "This governor has been ordered to raise grain and prepare for war, and has assigned grain and grass tasks to the following states and counties. Although it is the harvest season at this time, and the states and counties are full of grain and grass, it is also a little difficult to complete the grain and grass task. At this time, it is the peak season for some small tribes of foreign tribes to fight grass valleys, and Luo speculates that the following states and counties will definitely fight these grain merchants. ”

Tian Heng was stunned, this Luo Hengxin closed the door too much, right? It is not possible to raise grain through the government, and even this is not allowed to go through grain merchants?

Suddenly, the two of you look at me, I look at you, and there is nothing to say.

Luo Hengxin thought about it and felt that it was a bit ruthless to treat this scribe like this. After all, he is an official sent by the household department, and although he is the governor of the foreign department, although he is the emperor of the land, if the Beijing official is offended to death, there will be no good fruit to eat, not to mention that it is still the household department. Since you can't offend, then point out a clear way to you, whether you can raise grain and grass, then it's not the governor's business!

"After all, people came up with the solution!" Luo Hengxin looked at Tian Heng's face and continued: "Although this governor can't help Lord Tian raise grain and grass from the lower prefectures and counties and grain merchants, some illegal grain merchants smuggle materials outside the customs, which is also not allowed by the government. ”

Tian Heng couldn't help but be stunned, what did Luo Hengxin want to say?

Seeing Tian Heng's puzzled eyes, Luo Hengxin had no choice but to say: "Those unscrupulous grain merchants secretly hide grain and grass and smuggle them outside the customs, which is expressly forbidden by the imperial court. Since Lord Tian has a household slip in his hand, he exterminated these illegal grain merchants and collected them for the imperial court, which is also a matter of loyalty. ”

Tian Heng suddenly understood, this is to rob those grain merchants! This Luo Hengxin is also a shame for him to come up with this bad move!

Seeing Tian Heng's suddenly realized look, Luo Hengxin hurriedly said: "Lord Tian, this grain merchant can be screened clearly, don't think that you can lose the law by raising grain and grass." ”

It's to unload your own feet! Tian Heng smiled slightly, stood up and said, "What the governor said is very true, the lower officials must remember it!" That...... The lower officials will not bother the governor. The lower official will go back to the post office to arrange. ”

Luo Hengxin nodded, stood up and sent it out in person...... (To be continued......)
