Li Sangrou returned to Fried Rice Lane, looked at the three people who came up, and said with a smile: "There is a business, you can give it a try." ”

"Yexiang ......" The black horse blurted out halfway, and was pressed back by Da Chang.

"Early tomorrow morning, Dachang will go out of the city, go in any direction, walk along the post road, look at the delivery shop, the delivery shop is close to ten miles, the farthest twenty-five miles one, you walk one or two hundred miles to see.

Dark Horse and Golden Retriever inquire around town.

How to deliver letters, how to deliver light things, what to do with heavy things, where to go how many days.

I heard that they were all vanguards, so I inquired about how much rice they had a month, plus clothes or something, how much a year totaled, how much to eat, how to live, how much it cost in a day, in short, everything that could be inquired about. ”

Li Sangrou commanded happily.

"The boss wants to do the mail business? These posts are all from the imperial court. Da Chang frowned.

"I'll go and inquire first." Li Sangrou didn't know what to think, squinting her eyes and smiling very happily.

The next morning, when Li Sangrou got up, Dachang was already carrying a large bag of salted meat and salted chicken balls and steamed buns, and left a message, he went to the post farm to have a look, and then went to see the post post.

The golden retriever went out to buy breakfast, the black horse brought in a copper pot of boiling water, poured hot water into the copper basin, walked to the door, turned around, leaned against the door frame, and looked at Li Sangrou who was wiping his teeth.

"Boss, how is this post office business? The post post is all under the control of the official, and there is no post ticket, and the door will not let you in. How can we get involved?

If you are a believer, then the believer is very poor, how can anyone earn money? It's not bad if you don't starve.

Boss, do you remember? The year before last, in the month of Layue, as soon as the Huang family's blacksmith shop opened, a believer fell in and froze to death at the door of the Huang family......

Facing Li Sangrou's slanted gaze, the black horse's neck shrank.

"It's not my business to worry about, I'm going to make tea for the boss."

After breakfast, Dark Horse and Golden Retriever went separately to inquire about the post post.

Li Sangrou also went out of the fried rice lane, back and forth as if to see what was wrong, walked for a while, Li Sangrou decided to go to Pan Dingbang to talk, yesterday he said that he was leading the envoy in the Ministry of Industry.

Li Sangrou turned around and walked towards Donghua Gate.

When she arrived outside the Donghua Gate, Li Sangrou spent ten big money and asked someone to pass the word, and after a while, a small guy came out, greeted the guards guarding the door, and took Li Sangrou inside.

"Are you seven sons busy?" Listening to the little girl Tingxi introduce herself, Li Sangrou asked with a smile.

"When our seventh son was in the yamen, he was almost never busy." Tingxi smiled.

Li Sangrou wanted to laugh and soaked, "Then what kind of envoy did you seven sons receive in the Ministry of Industry?" Something to do with renovations? Yesterday, your seventh son said that he was going to Wangjiangyi to see the repair of the house? ”

"It's a messenger who repairs a house."

Li Sangrou sighed slowly, this errand who repaired the house was very fat.

I didn't go far, I arrived at the entrance of the engineering department, Tingxi took Li Sangrou, entered through the corner door next to it, and entered the two huts against the wall.

Pan Dingbang was lying on the spring bench, being slapped and beaten by a white-bearded old doctor.

Li Sangrou found a chair and sat down, watching the old doctor crackle and shoot down from the beginning, and then crackle and shoot up, three or four times in a row, the old doctor exhaled violently, "Okay! ”

"Oh, it's much more comfortable." Pan Dingbang sat up with a spring stool, thanked the old doctor, and stood up with his shoes on, only then did he see Li Sangrou, "Huh! It's you! What are you doing here? I thought they had the wrong thing! ”

"What's wrong with you, you weren't okay yesterday." Li Sangrou didn't answer Pan Dingbang's words, but asked.

"Didn't I go to Wangjiangyi yesterday to take a look, saying that the main beam was hollowed out in several places, I stood in the middle of the room, just looked up like this, accidentally, I actually twisted my neck, I slept at night and patronized my neck, and twisted my waist again, and now it's finally better."

Pan Dingbang said as he twisted his neck back and forth and twisted his waist.

Li Sangrou looked at Pan Dingbang with a sympathetic expression, "You are doing your best!" Why don't they take the girder down and show it to you? ”

Pan Dingbang chuckled, "I love to hear what you say." I wanted them to show me, but they said that if the beam was taken down, it would not be used if it was not broken, and that the beam would cost two or three hundred silver, alas! ”

"Is it rotten? Do you see that? Li Sangrou was full of interest.

Standing on the ground and looking at the insect eyes on the girder, what kind of eyes can you see?

"Do you know how tall that beam is? It has to be as tall as two in this room! How is it possible to tell?

I'm not trying to see it, I'm just going to make a show like I'm doing it myself, and I can't just say what they say.

Alas, it's much better. Pan Dingbang twisted a few more times and sighed comfortably.

"Hey, you haven't said yet, what are you doing here?" Pan Dingbang was in a trance and asked again, this time, from his expression to his tone, he was wary.

"What's the matter, there's nothing to do today, thinking that you shouldn't be fine, I'll come and talk to you." Li Sangrou smiled.

Pan Dingbang was more vigilant and took a step back, "You want to hook up with me, right?" I can tell you, I don't like you! Also, my daughter-in-law is a lion in Hedong! ”

Li Sangrou was choked by Pan Dingbang's words, "Ahem! Don't worry, I don't like you either. Also, if I fancy someone, I never hook up, I always hold a knife and press it directly on the bed. ”

"Ahh Pan Dingbang's upper body trembled with laughter, "Press it...... In bed! Aha! Knife! Aha! ”

Li Sangrou stood up, found a cup and poured a cup of tea, and drank half a cup slowly, so that Pan Dingbang could not laugh.

"I'm laughing to death! Alas, my stomach hurts. When you say this, you say you, are you a man or a woman? Then you didn't fancy the prince of the middle world? Pan Dingbang wiped tears from his laughter.

"Fancy is fanciing, if you don't dare, you may not be able to beat him."

"Ahh Pan Dingbang patted the arm of the chair and stomped his foot, laughing out loud again.

Li Sangrou finished drinking a cup of tea, poured another cup, crossed Erlang's legs and looked at him and smiled.

"You...... Alas, you are a person, alas, you laughed at me to death! Alas, hey! "Pan Dingbang's stomach is really sore from laughter.

"Don't laugh, I'll ask you something. How much silver can you, an official from the fifth grade, earn in a month? Is it enough for you to support your staff? ”

"Huh?" Pan Dingbang wiped his tears again, almost didn't react, "I have never counted this, the money is brought back by the stewards, and the gentlemen don't pay the silver from me, I don't know how much silver they take, I don't care about this." ”

"Hey, didn't you become an official to earn money to support your family? So for what? Glory to the ancestors? Governing the country and leveling the world? Li Sangrou raised her eyebrows, a look of false surprise.

"Look at what you said, what kind of family do I raise?

I have no talent for reading, I am in my twenties, and I have become a family again, so I can't be idle every day, this is what my father said, alas! ”

Pan Dingbang let out a long sigh. "I really envy you guys, unrestrained, you can do whatever you want, you don't care what others think, what others think, how good!"

"Then your Ministry of Industry, do you have a five-grade official like you, who was born in a poor family and can live on just a few things? Can you afford to raise a family? Li Sangrou asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"How can you not afford it!

Cai Langzhong of the River Division, who grew up eating hundreds of meals, his daughter-in-law's family is a little better than him, and his daughter-in-law's dowry, in addition to a set of clothes, is two silver hairpins and a pair of silver bracelets. Now, in our Jianle City, the house has been bought, and it is still a three-entry house!

We are Daqi, but we are not as selective as their Nanliang, we give a lot of money, and we will definitely be able to support our family! ”

Pan Dingbang proudly cocked Erlang's legs.

"River Division? Piped in the river? This is a fat difference, right? Did you buy it by money, or did you buy it? Li Sangrou leaned forward and rubbed her fingers at Pan Dingbang.

Pan Dingbang also stretched his head forward, almost touching Li Sangrou's head, lowered his voice and smiled:

"Fat is really fat, but Cai Langzhong is a real nobody in the court, he is a smart person, no matter how fat he is, he only dares to watch, if he dares to stretch out his hand...... Hey! How many people are staring at this fat gap!

Speaking of which, our Xue Shangshu is a smart person, really smart! The fat difference in the Ministry of Industry is either in the hands of people like Cai Langzhong, or people like me are in charge.

Tut! Clever! ”

"Then people like you, can you reach out?" Li Sangrou raised her eyebrows and asked.

"I don't know about others, and I definitely don't reach out. My family is not short of this little silver. Pan Dingbang sat back straight, lifting his chin, quite proud.

"That's right, even if you want to make money, you should make a lot of money, and it's not interesting to have a little money." Li Sangrou gave Pan Dingbang a thumbs up and smiled.

From the five-grade Jingguan relying on Yulu, he can buy a three-entry house in Jianle City, which is not an ordinary family that can support his family!

They are a lot of serious people in the Northern Qi Dynasty.

That's it! Very good! It's very good for her business!

Li Sangrou and Pan Dingbang talked about Silas, and it was noon in the blink of an eye, and Pan Dingbang was extremely enthusiastic, happy, and determined to invite Li Sangrou to eat a meal served by the six of them.

After the meal, the two discussed whether the meal was delicious or not, and they discussed it for another half an hour.

Pan Dingbang once again firmly invited Li Sangrou, and he must go to him again the next day, he wants to invite Li Sangrou to taste the meal sent by his family, in order to prove his point: the cooking skills of the imperial kitchen are a piece of!

The next day, Li Sangrou was invited, ate a boxed lunch in Xiangfu, and carried out of Donghua Gate with a dozen cakes of tea, seven or eight spices, four or five boxes of cut paper, a luxurious large bird cage, and a new book of gold and jade.

Li Sangrou made the first trip to Pan Dingbang, Gu Xi knew, and the next day, as soon as Li Sangrou left, Ruyi reported to Gu Xi:

When to go to the Ministry of Industry, when to leave, when out of Donghua Gate, Miss Li carried a large birdcage with ivory steamed buns inlaid with jade bamboo in one hand, the birdcage was stuffed full, like tea cakes, and there was a string of spice bags hanging on the cage hook, and a fragrant wind walked over.

Holding four or five rosewood boxes in his other hand, he went to inquire about Pan Dingbang's servant, and said that they were all cut rice paper, both raw and cooked.

Gu Xi's eyes widened when he heard this, and Wen Cheng on the other side also looked surprised.

"What is she going to do?" Gu Xi glared at Wen Cheng and asked,

Wen Cheng spread his hands, how did he know!

……………………

Li Sangrou returned to Fried Rice Lane, hung up the bird cage, sat under the porch, and carefully read the new book of gold and jade.

In the previous dynasty, there was a law about the post post, which is this new book of gold and jade, and in this dynasty, according to Pan Dingbang, this law has been very detailed and perfect.

She had to take a good look, read it through, and keep it in mind.

The black horse and the golden retriever came back one after the other, and the two of them first looked around the bird cage, and then squatted left and right next to Li Sangrou.

"The boss is going to raise birds? I'm going to buy it, what are we going to raise? Mynah? Yellow warbler? Thrush? Dark Horse asked.

"It's too much trouble to raise birds, just hang a bird cage and look at it. What else do you have at home? Li Sangrou closed the book and asked.

"Bamboo shoots, celery, and, the toon tree in the backyard can be eaten, the best black toon!" The Golden Retriever hurriedly replied.

"The black horse boils the pot of boiling water, go wash the pig's head, and the golden retriever goes to break some toon." Li Sangrou said as she stood up.

Da Chang was not there, and the fried dishes of the black horse and the golden retriever were difficult to swallow, so she had to do it herself.

Li Sangrou had just steamed the pig's head with rice wine, and the footsteps outside were heavy, and Dachang came back.

The golden retriever was burning the fire, and hurriedly burned a stove next to him, and the black horse picked up the big copper kettle, and quickly scooped up the water and put it on the stove.

Li Sangrou looked at Da Chang, whose lips were bursting, holding a cup in one hand and a teapot in the other, and handed it to him, "Drink some water, wash first, and talk after eating." ”

"Hmm." Dachang drank a pot of tea in one go, touched the outside of the big copper kettle, and took a bath.

The black horse made a face, the golden retriever propped up the tweezer, and turned the cake while burning the fire, and the two of them quickly baked a large stack of cakes.

Li Sangrou cooked porridge with diced salted meat and celery leaves, fried toon bamboo shoots, toon eggs, and steamed the pig's head meat almost perfectly, dismantled and cut into large slices, and fried it with celery.

Dachang looked hungry, took two cakes, rolled them with celery and pig's head, finished them in a few bites, took a bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of vegetable porridge, and then took two cakes and rolled them with toon bamboo shoots and toon eggs.

After eating five or six cakes in a row, Da Chang breathed a sigh of relief and slowed down.

"I went to the Old Song Gate first, where the stagecoach farm.

I thought to myself, whether it was from the south or from the north, as long as I used a horse, I had to go there, and I had to go there first.

I sat in the small restaurant at the entrance of the stagecoach for half an hour, and listened to those post men say that in recent years, there have been the most letters to the north, and the north is not very peaceful, and there are many battles all year round, and the line to Jiangning City is the busiest.

I thought, these two lines are busy, both because of military affairs, we had better avoid it, so I went to Huainan.

On this way, I took a ride if I could take a car, walked 200 miles to the south, saw 11 shops, came back and went around to another road, and saw 12 more. ”

Dachang picked up the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls of vegetable porridge.

"They deliver letters, in three kinds: foot, horse, and foot.

Foot delivery is everything, saying that it is sixty miles a day, and if it is delivering heavy ordnance and heavy objects, it is forty miles a day.

Horses only deliver letters, one hundred and fifty miles a day, but there are not many horses, saying that it is because there are few horses.

There are three kinds of quick foot delivery, gold medal, silver medal, and wooden medal.

The gold medal is five hundred miles a day, day and night, not to go to the delivery shop, to the post house, the post house and the horse are strong.

Everyone and horses all carried bells, and when the people in the post house heard the bells, they had to hurry up and wait at the door of the delivery shop on horses, and run quickly after receiving the papers.

The silver medal is delivered four hundred miles a day, and it is also a post house, but it is also not allowed to enter the shop, and it is handed over at the door of the shop and hurry up.

The wooden sign is to go to the delivery shop, 300 miles a day, just run horses during the day, and you can rest for a few hours at night.

There are very few hurried foot deliveries, and I have encountered two times of wooden card rush foot delivery along the way.

The post man's salary, the rice is given on a monthly basis, one stone and five buckets, the rice is good and the rice is bad, it is difficult to say, it is the nearest few delivery shops from Jianle City, at least last year, it was a month of new rice, and the rest were old rice, and there was a month, and the rice was a little moldy.

Others, three clothes a year, most of them are discounted money, saying that with the addition of other seven, seven, eighty, eight, and eight, you can get a total of six or seven yuan of money, a year!

Also, the farther away from Jianle City, the fewer the post guards in the delivery shop, and the poorer they are, I saw the farthest delivery shop, which is only 200 miles away from Jianle City, and those post guards go out to deliver letters, all wearing straw sandals. ”

Li Sangrou listened intently, and the post guard gave this piece a lot less than she expected.

Alas, even though this was a good thing, she was still a little sad.

"Boss, can the prince let us meddle in the affairs of this post office? This post post is said to be related to the imperial court and the lifeblood of the empire, and it is said to be an important military affair. Dachang looked at Li Sangrou and said worriedly.

"Try it, just do it, if it doesn't work, you can't do it." Li Sangrou replied extremely irresponsibly.

"I still think that the night incense is good, but how poor are the believers!" The dark horse muttered as he bit down on the burrito.

"At the beginning, the boss said that he wanted to do a night incense shop, and you also said that the could be sold for a few bucks!" The golden retriever unceremoniously revealed the short road.

"Where am I...... The pork head meat fried by the boss is so delicious! Our boss turns stones into gold, and stones into gold, do you understand? The black horse swirled his tongue and turned his face back.
