Chapter 379: Black Heart for Money
>
The soldier was called by Yun Yi one by one, and got the silver, and suddenly smiled: "It turns out that you are the old man of our Zhuang Tou'er, and it is also your luck, Zhuang Tou'er has nowhere to play today, and it is not difficult for you to see him if you want to check over there." ”
After saying that, he lit a firework, "Huh! "Put it in the sky with a bang, and then explode loudly.
In a few moments another boat came, and on it sat three soldiers, led by a soft-brimmed felt hat on his head, and the big red tassel on the top of the hat was in harmony with the bushy chest hair that had been born on his open bosom.
This person is probably the so-called Zhuang general in Yun Yi's mouth, right?
"Who the is calling me, it's just an official ship, what else to check, verify your identity and let me go. , something that doesn't benefit is a fart. "This man was born short and strong, with a fierce appearance, and a Liaodong accent, somewhat like the Beijing dialect of later generations.
A soldier laughed: "Chief, but it is not an official ship, and there are three merchants on board who are acting suspiciously." ”
"Ah, the three merchants, damn it, I said it earlier, pretending to be an official ship to escape the checkpoint, and the goods were confiscated. Wait, grandpa will see if there are any treasures first. The general manager of the village immediately came to the spirit, used his hands and feet, and climbed onto Wu Jie's boat.
"I've seen Master Zhuang, but I haven't seen it yet, General Zhuang's demeanor is still the same." Yun Yi smiled and greeted him, and he couldn't help but give his hand.
"Who are you, who knows you?" Zhuang Jiang obviously didn't recognize Yun Yilai.
Yun Yi said with a smile: "Master Zhuang, you forgot, four years ago in Liaoyang, you had a birthday, and I also sent two good old ginseng." ”
Zhuang Jiang: "I remember, it's okay if you don't say it, as soon as you say that ginseng, Lao Tzu will be angry." Eat your ginseng. In the winter, it was so hot that Lao Tzu had a nosebleed. It took a night of tossing and turning on the snow with bare arms before the fever subsided. Damn, I'm looking for you today, someone is here, take it for me! ”
Yun Yi was frightened~~-Update~~ His face turned pale, and he said: "Master Zhuang, that matter is small and wrong, and I am willing to compensate you for your losses." As he spoke, he slipped a stack of money tickets through.
Zhuang always took a look. There were about more than 100 taels, and then he rejoiced: "You know that things are important, for the sake of money, there is something to say." Isn't it just pretending to be an official ship and being caught, as long as you make enough money, grandpa will be fine with you. ”
There was greed in his eyes. Just make up your mind and wait to scratch this guy well.
Yun Yi: "Master Zhuang." I will give three thousand taels of silver. ”
Hearing this, Zhuang Zhuang's general spirit was lifted, and his heart was full of joy. The level of the Lijin Bureau is very oily, and he has dozens of taels of silver every day, and he also made money up and down to get this position. Just because this place is so important, there is a conventional rule in the army. No one can only stay here for two months, and when the two months expire, they have to change their guards, lest the benefits be taken away by one person.
It is precisely because there is only a 60-day deadline that there is naturally a lot to reap the benefits.
But generally stuck in merchant ships, in addition to the amount of money due, he can only get a few dozen taels of benefits.
Like this, it costs three thousand taels as soon as it opens its mouth, and it is the first time I have encountered it. What is the concept of five thousand taels. As long as you get it, the rest of your life. Even sons and grandchildren don't have to struggle, a proper rich man.
The number shouted out. Not only did several soldiers from the Lijin Bureau shout in unison with golden light in their eyes, but even Wu Jie and Mu En were taken aback.
Mu En's heart was vigilant, and he couldn't help but shout: "Yun Yi, what do you want to do?" ”
He knows Yun Yi very well, and he is the most greedy. This time I came to Jiangnan, and the goods of the two of them together were only less than 20,000 taels, and they took 5,000 taels out in one go, isn't this a loss for pants?
Businessmen seek profits, and Yun Yiken is willing to do this kind of loss-making business, which really makes people suspicious.
"Shut up, Mu En, when will it be your turn for Yun Ye to interject." Yun Yi sneered and glanced at him and Wu Jie, and lowered his head to whisper in Zhuang Zong's ear. ..., the expression on the general face of the Zhuang general was cloudy, and Yun Yi said clearly in his ear just now, there were 20,000 taels of silver on the ship, but if it was to be realized, it would take more than half a year. If you just sell it directly, you can't afford to sell it at all. Yun Yi asked him to take down Wu Jie and Mu En, and found an excuse to do it. In addition to the three thousand taels of hard-earned money, after the goods are sold, another half of the profits will be shared.
The wealth is moving, and Zhuang has calculated that this trip will have at least seven or eight thousand taels of benefits. His term of office is less than a month, and if he misses this village, he will not have that shop.
He gritted his teeth, pointed at Wu Jie and Mu En, and shouted: "These two people are pretending to be officials, smuggling and selling smuggling, come here, take them down for me, and put them in a cell in the card!" "As long as these two people are sent to the small black room, it is only a matter of raising their lives to save their lives.
"Order!" Several soldiers drew their knives at the same time and were about to pounce.
"Who dare!" Even the third elder shouted, picked up the oars and stood in front of Wu Jie.
Wu Jie laughed and pointed at Mr. Zhuang: "Bold, dare to murder the court officials, do you want to rebel?" ”
"You're an official of the imperial court?" Zhuang was always stunned, there were more officials in Nanjing, but the serious court officials were very different from those who had the title of what uncle and what man. That has to be a serious academic background, Master Jinshi, at least a seven-grade magistrate.
The Ming Dynasty admired literature and suppressed martial arts, and the status of civil officials was much higher than that of martial arts. A seventh-grade civil official dares to point at a third- or fourth-grade military attache and scold, but the military attache only has to laugh and be careful.
"He's not an official, fake!" Yun Yi shouted: "That is, a businessman has stopped, Master Zhuang, he coaxed you." ”
Wu Jie smiled disdainfully, took out the official photo from his arms and put it on the deck: "Look for yourself." ”
A soldier quickly picked up Wu Jie's official photo and handed it to Mr. Zhuang.
Zhuang Jiang only glanced at it, and then he trembled in shock, and his voice was hoarse: "You...... You...... You, you, you, you're the boss of the Hallym Academy......"
Mu En next to Wu Jie was also so frightened that his hair stood up, what is the concept of the boss of the Hanlin Academy, he will at least be a feudal official and an official of the ministry in the future, and he may enter the cabinet if he doesn't get it right.
Unexpectedly, such a character stood beside him.
"It's Wu!" Wu Jie turned his back and answered proudly.
"Haha, haha, haha!" Yun Yi laughed loudly: "Boss Wu, Boss Wu." It's not good for you to pretend to be something, but you want to pretend to be a high-ranking official of the Hanlin Academy. With your ability to pretend to be a dragon like a dragon and a tiger like a tiger. If you pretend to be a county or inspect something, you may really fool people. Don't think that I haven't seen the Hanlin Bachelor, people have honor guards in and out, wear silk and satin, and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. Along the way, local officials ushered in the arrival, and the majesty was great. Look at what you're like, I can see it all the way. Your whole family is made of cotton shirts, and you eat every day and choose things that others don't use. What brown rice, pumpkin whiskers, snails, shrimp shells, and talking to your subordinates are also polite, like a nobleman's style? I guess I haven't seen what a real noble person looks like, and I can't learn it. ”
Wu Jie was laughed at by him, indeed. I'm a little more low-key. And I also pay attention to health. specializes in eating coarse grains and game, and in the eyes of the people of this era, he really doesn't look like an official.
Wu Jie: "So, have you met Master Hanlin?" ”
"Why haven't you seen it, the Hanlin Bachelors are all Wenqu stars in the sky. Starting from the children's examination, all the way up, you want to be a jinshi. I can't get down for decades, and I'm an old man. Boss Wu, how old are you, you haven't reached twenty yet. If you say that you are a noble person of Hanlin, you have to make people believe it! Yun Yi laughed so much that tears came down: "Master Zhuang, do you think he looks like?" Mr. Zhuang suddenly realized: "Yes, it's okay if you don't say it, as soon as you say it, I'll come back to my senses." This birdman is indeed an impersonator. I have never seen the nobles of the Hanlin Academy, and our status is low, and we don't have that blessing. But. Hu Butang has seen it from afar several times. The scenery, the wealth. It's impossible to imagine. As soon as they went out, there were hundreds of horsemen and infantry soldiers who had just opened the road, and they had to clear the road and impose martial law along the way, and the magistrate had to kneel on the road to pick them up. You pretend to be a nobleman of Hanlin, and you really haven't learned it. ”
Wu Jie smiled helplessly, Hu Zongxian's character is excellent, but there is only one shortcoming, he is still extravagant and likes pomp, and because of this, he was impeached by the imperial envoys. In fact, this is also a common shortcoming of Ming Dynasty officials, not only with his teacher Yan Song, but also with Lu Bing in the past and Zhang Juzheng and Xu Jie. The main thing is that the Ming Dynasty was at its peak, the economy was prosperous, and the life of the officials was very rich.
After all, he is a modern person, and when he was a sling in the past, he couldn't see corrupt officials the most, so he thought that if he really became an official, he would have to be a good official and a clean official.
After arriving in the Ming Dynasty, Wu Jie knew that it was not so easy to become a Qing official, the atmosphere was like this, if he really wanted to be a Qing official, he was afraid that even his wife and son would starve to death, and the salaries of Ming Dynasty officials were outrageously low, and it was difficult to support one person.
It is not a big deal to get a little benefit appropriately, the key is to do things that are beneficial to the country and the people, so as to live up to my heart.
Of course, Wu Jie still pretends to be simple on weekdays, after all, people who are too ostentatious will not end well. Zhang Juzheng is powerful, Lu Bing is powerful, just because he is not low-key, as soon as he died, his home was raided.
Being a low-key person and making a fortune in a muffled voice is the truth.
After Zhuang said this, his face was full of anger: "What a thief, you dare to scare Uncle Ben, I have to give you some color today, come on, take them down for me, especially this birdman, first hit a hundred whips." ”
"Yes!" Several soldiers came over with a sinister smile.
Yun Yi also clapped his hands and laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, take down this liar, and that wooden boss." Damn, dare to hit me, today I only know that grandpa is amazing, there is no regret medicine to buy in this world. ”
Wu Jie sighed and glanced at Lian Laosan. There is no way, I can only do it, with the martial arts of Lian Laosan, it only takes a moment to clean up these people.
When you see it, you have to do it. Suddenly, I saw six or seven small boats rushing towards this direction. Someone shouted: "Brother Shizhen, but on the boat, my brother is late, forgive your sins!" ”
The boat came so quickly, obviously they were all good at the water, and they immediately leaned on Wu Jie's official boat.
At the head is standing all civilizations.
Seeing that there were so many vicious soldiers on Wu Jie's ship, Wan Wenming's face turned cold, and he shouted: "What person, which yamen?" ”
"What kind of birdman are you, the Lijin Bureau is on an errand, we are serious Hu Butang's subordinates......" Because the sky is completely dark, Zhuang Jiang can't see the appearance of the person who comes. However, the people in their army are used to running rampant, and with the support of Hu Zongxian, they are not afraid of things
