Then Feng Yunchong patted his chest and said, "Grandpa Zhang, what are you talking about?" My old Feng is doing things, are you still not at ease? We are not the first day to run an errand, so we are guaranteed to be unable to go on an errand. ”

He scolded Zhao Sheng again: "What you don't have the eye to see, why don't you get up quickly, what's wrong with the melon seed gold on the ground, you're kneeling up and finishing?" Zhao Shenggang came together, and Feng Yunchong scolded again: "There are things without beads, can't you see?" This is Gonggong Zhang in the palace, don't you kowtow quickly, are you tired of living? ”

The eunuch frowned and said, "Old Feng, what are you tossing him for?" Strength is used for errands. ”

Feng Yunchong smiled and said, "What my father-in-law said is that the villain Meng Lang is gone. But don't worry, there is no way, this is in the Jingshi, even if the thief is bold, he will not dare to do it at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he has a few heads, do you say this is the reason? ”

The eunuch ignored him, put his hand on the pergola, and looked up the canal. After about half a meal, the eunuch suddenly shouted, "Our ship is coming, everyone get ready!" ”

Feng Yunchong didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly scolded the ladies to go to the dock to prepare to transport the goods, while he accompanied the eunuch to step forward quickly, and asked Zhao Sheng to maintain order. The more than 100 thugs who had already been prepared for the battle had drawn a lot of life and death, and if there were any deaths or injuries today, their families would all be supported by Zhao Sheng, and they had also drawn sticks and short knives at this time, looking around.

When a large ship was about to come to shore, I saw a man on the board, and the man rose into the air like a giant eagle and fell straight to the shore. He slammed the bright silver plate dragon stick in his hand to the ground and shouted: "Sons, go ashore to protect the water!" ”

This person is naturally Yu Dayou, and the personal soldiers he brought with him are also extremely fierce. There are also many disciples of Southern Shaolin in it. All of them are good at martial arts. After going ashore, line up and have knives and guns in hand. At this time, even if there is really a strong man coming, he is not afraid.

After Jiang An, Tao Zhi, and Shao An came ashore, the eunuch stepped forward quickly, bowed down and saluted: "Little Zhang Whale, I have seen several generals. ”

It is said that this whale was originally from Hangzhou, from a humble background, and he was a first-class poor 13 broken households. It's just that he's very smart. When I was young, I read a book and knew a few words, and I could also abacus, and after entering the palace, I worshipped Zhang Hong as my godfather. First in the Salary Division and then in the Treasure Banknote Division, they are all very good, relying on the face of their godfather, and now they are working in the East Factory, although they do not have any prominent positions, but they have great authority, so Feng Yunchong also has to pay tribute to him like the ancestors.

It is said that the thousands of households in the East Factory are far more valuable than the thousands of households in Jinyi, and the 100 households in the East Factory are Hou. The hundred dogs in brocade clothes are talking about the power gap between the two. But now Jinyiwei is commanded by Lu Bing, a first-class figure in the country. The power is in its prime, and the East Factory will be three points weaker, especially seeing that Zhang Whale is so polite, Feng Yunchong didn't dare to take it big, and hurriedly ran over to Shi Li and said: "A few brothers, it's hard all the way, and a certain Feng Yunchong is polite." After a while, we will hand over the messenger, let's go to the cheap shop to eat duck, brother, I have a treat. ”

Tao Zhi and Shao An are the old men of Jingwei, and they know that Feng Yunchong is a person, so they just hugged their fists and said: "I am on official business, I don't dare to disturb, let's unload the silver." ”

Feng Yunchong hurriedly shouted at Zhao Sheng behind him, "What the hell are you doing standing?" What about waiting for the lightning to strike? Hurry up, come and get to work. ”

When Zhao Sheng heard this, he urgently ordered his subordinates to go over and carry it, and the dock suddenly became busy. Tao Zhi said to Zhang Whale: "Father-in-law Zhang, your father-in-law's members, the Qincha has been prepared, and the silver will be unloaded later, and we will deliver it again, what do you think?" ”

Zhang Whale nodded and said, "It should be, it should be." We're busy with business first, and we're not in a hurry. ”

Shao An said: "Today's incident, how did it alarm the master of the East Factory, brother, I don't understand it." "In all eras, there are concepts of mountains and sects, from ancient times to the present. Although Dongchang and Jinyiwei have always been called one, in fact, the struggle between the factory and the guard has always been that either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind. Feng Yunchong was born in Jinyi, but since he became the head of the Dongchang Prison Thousand Households, his ass naturally has to sit on the side of the Dongchang, and in turn, the Jinyi will no longer treat him as his brother.

This silver was earned by Yan Hong, according to the ideas of Tao Zhi and others, Jinyiwei should be responsible for delivery, transportation, and letting Dongchang come in. But as soon as Zhang Whale heard this, his face became more ugly than crying, "Two masters, what you said seems to be a small messenger who fought for himself, and I don't want to do this work, but there is no way, Yan Xiaoxianggong specially instructed that Dongchang should be responsible for this escort, and I have no choice." ”

At this point, Yan Hong's views are not limited to the view of the portal. He was brainwashed by insurance sales, and he poured a lot of chicken soup such as "giving roses to people with a lingering fragrance", and he always advocated that the cake should be bigger and the cake should be more. One more point, although I have less share, but there are more people who have benefited, and I can do even more next time. For example, this time about the silver, he was not in Jingshi, what happened to the ghost? Pull the East Factory in, no matter what happens at that time, the East Factory will have to take the blame with itself, which is better than putting the responsibility on the head of the Jinyi family.

Lifu on the wharf, every day is the work of transporting, this group of people are carefully selected good hands, hands and feet are nimble, look at this situation, there is more than an hour, can be transported. Zhao Sheng was happy in his heart, these plague gods had already sent away Good Morning, and kept urging. Seeing that it was safe and sound, Zhang Whale finally let out a sigh and said with a smile: "This messenger will let our family live for twenty years less." However, if you can make the heavenly family happy, it is to fold forty years of yang life, and it is also happy. ”

Feng Yunchong said: "This silver has entered the inner transportation warehouse, and my father-in-law will not be able to run away, and when the time comes, please don't forget the little credit of the villain." ”

At this moment, I saw an old man and a young man walking out of a small restaurant near Dongbianmen Wharf. The old man wore a black veil on his head, a scarlet robe, a brocade rooster on his top, and a rhino belt around his waist. The body is medium-sized, the raw crane hair goosebumps, wrinkles are piled up, the long face is square, the facial features are upright, the nasolabial folds between the two eyebrows are deep and long, the age seems to be almost ancient, but the back is straight, the eyes are clear, the body is quite healthy, but not the old and weak generation. The man next to him, looking like a long-term companion, was only thirty miles old, and his face was handsome and very capable.

The old man walked out of the restaurant and pointed with his hand: "I see that this tax money in Taicang is solved, which of you dares to move?" This shout, full of energy, was like a thunderbolt in the blue sky on the dock, and it suddenly startled a group of lifu. The porters and car owners of the carriage and horse shops were also at a loss and looked sideways.

I saw the old man striding towards the silver cart. When the thugs of these ambulances, who were fierce and vicious, kicked the widow's door and trampled on the grave, when they saw the old man coming, they were like mice seeing cats, and the knives and sticks in their hands hurriedly threw them on the ground, separated them from the left and right, and fell to their knees. The master of Shaolin, the worship of the Tang Sect, also looked embarrassed, and did not dare to move, seeing that the old man was about to get closer, he also hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said: "The grass people have seen the old man." ”

Could it be that this old man's martial arts are world-famous and invincible in the world, so that this good man does not dare to fight when he sees him? Naturally not, although this old man has clear eyes, he has no foundation at all under his steps, although he is still in good health, he is an old man with no martial arts. Any one of those men can easily knock him over. But the problem is that he is wearing a scarlet robe, and the brocade rooster is supplemented, which means that this person is a second-grade official. This class of rough billets, if you see those eight- or nine-grade petty officials, relying on the strength of their own boss, and dare to fight, this is a second-grade member. With a move of his fingers, he can crush them to the ground, who would dare to come nonsense? Those Shaolin disciples and Tang Sect worshippers are the same, they are four-grade prefects, and they can be driven as grandsons, not to mention second-grade civil officials?

The old man didn't look at these people, and walked straight towards Zhang Whale, shouting in his mouth: "Factory guard eagle dog, shameless eunuch, don't you intend to smuggle the tax arrears of Zhejiang Shangjie without permission?" There is an old man here, and the tricks of the chief teacher are difficult to sell. ”

That Zhang Whale and Feng Yunchong knew this old man, and when they saw it, they knew that the big thing was not good, so they had to kneel down and say, "The little one has seen Old Fang's hall." The old ministry misunderstood, this is not the tax of Zhejiang Shangjie. ”

This old man is not an outsider, it is the current household department Shangshu Fang Dut. Fang blunt character Zhongmin, No. Li'an, a native of Yuezhou, Hunan, a fifteen-year jinshi in Zhengde, accumulated merit to the household department Shangshu, was in charge of the court's money bag for several years, and was also a prince of the court. This person funded the establishment of the Yuezhou Hall in Beijing, and all the fellow villagers and eunuchs who came to Beijing could live here, enjoy free food, and bring their fellow villagers with them. From time to time, there is a folk proverb that "Fang Shangshu is an official, and he brings people from Huguang Province".

Fang Yu also used to help a fellow villager who was not doing well and was on the verge of bankruptcy, first gave him travel expenses, and then asked him to sell bitter oak. Although the fellow villager doesn't know the way, what's the use of this bitter tree that no one wants? But since Lao Shangshu pays for freight, travel expenses, and payment, what else is there to say, let's transport it. After Ku Chu entered Beijing, Fang Yu deliberately wrote a poem: Huguang transferred a boat of Quercus to make up for the deficiency. Buy one for two taels of silver, and miss the opportunity when you don't have a good time.

Although it has the function of antidiarrheal, it is not a valuable thing. It is almost the same as buying two taels of silver at a high price, and these two taels of silver are simply the sky-high price of the sky-high. Even with the addition of Fang Blunt's poems, it is not worth so much. But the problem is that Fang Yu stamped his own official seal of the household department under this poem, which is worth so much. Put this poem in a lively place like this, who doesn't buy it as an official businessman, and stammers Fang Situ? The household department asked for leave on the same day, and the officials who borrowed money did not know much, and they all wanted to buy bitter trees to send to their old superiors, indicating that they obeyed orders and listened to commands. As a result, a boatload of bitter trees was quickly sold out, and the Huguang merchant made a fortune.

From today's point of view, this principle of employing people and handling affairs is naturally suspected of cronyism and power rent-seeking. But don't forget, this is in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, nepotism was not a shortcoming or fault in employing people, and helping the township party was also a commendable virtue...... And this public is neither a strict party, nor a Xu party, if you insist on counting, you have to count it as a Hunan party. (To be continued......)
