Jiaojiao went back that night and had a high fever, and it was not a trivial matter for a child to have a high fever, so she hired the best doctor specializing in pediatrics, and Banxia took wine to wipe her palms and feet. The trouble seems to feel that my sister is uncomfortable, and she has been crying and crying, Banxia was afraid that he would also catch a cold, so she hurriedly asked Aunt Yang to take the child down and coax her, the first night in Yangzhou, everyone couldn't sleep, but fortunately, the Jiaojiao fever subsided on the second day.

No matter how unaccustomed Banxia is, the days will always go on, and the most important thing is that there are not enough people in their yard. Over the years, Wang Xiaoshan's business has become bigger and bigger, and there are a lot of dividends and silver, but Banxia doesn't have to worry about money, the children are getting older, and the people who take care of them have to be more.

As soon as Anzi left, Shan Yu and Mr. Lu also followed, so now Banxia was left with the daughters of Xiangyu and He's sister-in-law. Her daughter is also old, so she begged Banxia to stay by her side and wait, which can be regarded as seeing the height of her eyebrows. For convenience, she also gave her daughter a pandan. The two children stayed in the house in the middle of the summer at night and watched together, and stayed with Aunt Yang during the day, which is not a long-term solution, the children gradually grew up, and they had to watch more and more, especially noisy, and one could jump far away without watching.

In the middle of the summer, I went out with cold water, and bought a few more people to come back. The little maid on the door, the maid sweeping in the courtyard, the kitchen helping, and the nurse with the child together. Hanshui has grown rapidly over the years, and he is calm, which is very valued by Banxia and Gansui.

The second day of Gan Sui's arrival here coincided with the rest of the day, and Gan Sui asked the Tongzhi below to lead him to meet Yangzhou Weaving and the two Huai salt transport envoys.

Yangzhou has always been prosperous for a generation, and it is the place where the handicraft industry and salt industry are most developed. The prefect of Yangzhou has always been fat, but it is also the most difficult place to be an official. This place is simply toxic, the first three Yangzhou prefects are all in different places without exception, when they become officials, they will always be like this, if they have power, they want money, and if they have money, they want to get more power, and they have money and power, and they start to want beauties.

Yangzhou Skinny Horse is a very magical existence. The top Yangzhou thin horse plays the piano and blows the flute, sings poems and paints, plays chess and sings, and is proficient in all kinds of martial arts. It is said that these women have picked the best qualifications to raise since they were young, and everything is to marry into a wealthy family, which is naturally the style of a housewife and a concubine. In the final analysis, all the piles are born for the male owner.

On the first day of his visit, Gan Sui saw this special crowd at the house of the salt transport envoy. When Gan Sui went, he met Liu Youcai, the president of the Salt Merchants Chamber of Commerce, in front of the gate to report things to the salt transport envoys.

It's really like everyone's girlfriends, and there are two little maids by her side, one holding an umbrella and the other playing a fan. After getting off the sedan car, the lotus step moved lightly, and a fragrant breeze drifted over with the wind. The faces of the cold stars beside Gan Sui were flushed. He is the person recommended by Lu Ying who knows that he has to leave, and he has only been in the mansion for two months, and he is a clever person. When Hanshui was busy, Gan Sui took him by his side. He was still a stunned young man and had never seen this world.

Because of today's rest, Gan Sui did not wear an official uniform, and the president of the Salt Merchants Chamber of Commerce did not know his identity, but saw Han Tongzhi behind him. Han Tongzhi, as the prefect's deputy, happened to be in charge of salt transportation, he couldn't be the master of big things, but he could help with some small things, Liu Youcai saw him and immediately came over to say hello.

"Lord Han, the old lady used those medicinal herbs last time, but it was okay, if you think it's okay, I will immediately send someone to send some to the house."

When Han Tongzhi saw this Liu Youcai, he instinctively wanted something bad, and sure enough, before his eyes passed, he began to come to catch up, what is this called, he was caught by his boss on the spot and accepted things. Hurriedly clarified, "President Liu has worked hard, if I didn't have no way, I wouldn't drag you to buy it on your behalf." Let me introduce you to the prefect who we have just taken office, Lord Gan. ”

Chairman Liu was shocked at that time, he knew that there would be a new prefect, and he came to the house of the salt envoy today to find out the details of this adult, and if he offended the officialdom in business, it would not last long.

"Adult, the villain has no eyes, I don't know if it's you......"

"President Liu doesn't have to be like this, Gan needs more help from you when he first arrives." Gan Sui has long known that the water in Yangzhou is muddy, and he didn't expect it to be clarified all at once, anyway, there are still three years, let's see.

The porter had already heard the news, and hurried in to report, and the butler himself came out to greet him.

"The prefect came, and he didn't notify the villain in advance, so he greeted him outside the mansion."

"There's no need to be so troublesome, Gan came here to say goodbye to the salt envoy. Are you there? ”

"Here, I'm practicing martial arts in the backyard, please come in."

This salt transport envoy is also a talent, he can write with a pen, and he can kill the enemy in the end. Gan Sui was welcomed into the house, the housekeeper gave Liu Youcai a look, and the two small sedan chairs went straight into the inner room from the side door, Gan Sui saw it and didn't say much. The housekeeper saw that the new prefect was very knowledgeable about current affairs. Regardless of the political achievements of those who are officials, it is necessary to know the current affairs, and only those who know the current affairs can survive in the officialdom.

The housekeeper led Gan Sui to the inside, the winding path was deep, and it was a delicate yard. The further you go inside, you can see the garden, where a person is dressed in a white short coat, black silk pants, and a long knife dances with a tiger.

The housekeeper walked forward with Gan Sui and stopped at the edge of the martial arts field, and the salt envoy saw him coming and pulled a knife flower, and stopped: "I heard that Lord Gan also knows some fists and feet, do you want to practice together." ”

"It's just a little rough work,"

"It's just a practice together, and the official knows the measure, come on." As he spoke, he put down the long knife in his hand, picked up the wooden sword on the weapon rack, threw one to Gan Sui, and held it himself.

"Then the lower official is respectful, it is better to obey the order......" Before Gan Sui finished speaking, the long sword pointed straight over, and Gan Sui immediately raised his sword to block. The two made several moves back and forth, but Gan Sui did not attack, but just blindly defended.

After more than 20 moves like this, the salt envoy stopped, "Lord Gan said that he can only work superficially, which is not like it." ”

"The lord agreed, and the lower officials were lucky enough to protect themselves."

"I heard that Lord Gan has met the eldest son of the emperor?"

The emperor did not announce that the eldest prince was raised by Gan Sui, but only said that it was recovered by Lin Jiajun, and then stayed at the prefect of Liangzhou for a few days.

"Yes."

"How's the wind?"

"Extremely stylish."

"I heard that my nephew looks like an uncle, doesn't he look similar to Lin Tianyu."

"It's a bit alike."

"That's really...... Drop-off! ”

Gan Sui was simply confused, how could he be sent away.

"Resignation."

But the salt envoy left without looking back.

The housekeeper sent him out as usual, "Don't blame me, my lord, it's not that our family is angry with you, but just thinking of sad things." ”

"Sad?"

"Back then, the adult's younger brother liked martial arts and joined the Lin family's army, but his corpse was left after half a year. Every time adults think about it, they feel sad. ”

This is really unreasonable, when you join the army, you should think that the sword on the battlefield is not long-sighted, and there will definitely be a possibility of death. Since they are all willing to go to their younger brother, they now come to secretly hate the main general, and they can't stand it when they mention it, which is really unreasonable. However, it is difficult to take care of other people's family affairs, but this salt envoy is indeed worth exploring.

Out of the gate of the salt transport envoy, Gan Sui went to Yangzhou Weaving House. This weaving master is not simple, it is the emperor's nephew, his mother Yunni County Lord is the emperor's cousin in the next room, when he first awarded the official, he chose Yangzhou, saying that there are many beauties in Yangzhou, and there are countless wives and concubines in the family, but he attaches great importance to the original match, and the original match is very means, although there are many wives and concubines, there has been no trouble, it is also good.

This weaving adult's surname is Song, and his name is Mingyuan. has a smiling face, and before he speaks, he smiles in three points, and looks extremely kind. It happened that it was time for lunch, so I left Gan Sui to eat.

The maids rushed in, a table of dishes came up, and then Song Mingyuan waved everyone down, and Gan Sui began to feel that this banquet was definitely a Hongmen banquet. When everyone went down, Song Mingyuan's expression began to become serious. "Before you came, Your Majesty gave me a secret decree, let us check the salt tax of these two Huai together."

"Salt tax?" Gan Sui didn't receive any orders before he came, so he was a little skeptical.

"Jianghuai is the place where I produce the most domestic salt in Liang, and as long as the people still eat salt, the business here will not be broken. The annual salt tax here is a quarter of the national tax of my country. Last year, only more than 200,000 taels of salt tax were submitted to the household department. In this year's battle with Kohler, the military expenditure was extremely high, and the treasury was basically unable to make ends meet. If I don't check it out clearly, I'm afraid that I, Liang Guo, will be swallowed up by this gang of moths sooner or later. ”

"The weaver is a suspicious man."

"Is there any need to doubt this, Liang Cheng'an, the salt transport envoy, he was originally not dealing with the Lin family's army, maybe he wanted to take the silver while harming the Lin family."

"Your Excellency also knows that Lord Liang is at odds with the Lin family?"

"No one above the government and the opposition knows. Not only him, but also his father, the superintendent of the imperial history, made a report in the court last year for the Lin family's military expenses, and in general, he didn't deal with it. ”

"Forget it, let's try this crab roe lion head, if our chef says second in this dish, then no one in the whole Jianghuai will dare to call it first, it's not delicious if it's cold, come and ......" Song Mingyuan began to actively dispense dishes.

Gan Sui didn't know the taste of a meal, and he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it specifically. The officialdom in Yangzhou does not have the painful scenes of ordinary people struggling and living, but there are more rights and wrongs in the officialdom, and Gan Sui feels tired inexplicably.

When Gan Sui returned home, the two children were taking a nap. Banxia sat under the grape trellis in the courtyard, there was a fan of the wind, seeing that he was back, he got up to greet him, "It's back, I heard how about you went to eat today, what delicious food you ate, tell me quickly." ”

"That lord has been discussing government affairs with me, and he hasn't eaten properly, so I can't even remember."

"What kind of person, talk about business during dinner, I'll ask Sister-in-law He to bring you a bowl of noodles."

"No, come sit with me for a while." Gan Sui pulled Banxia to sit down and hugged her in his arms, "I feel like I haven't sat down so quietly for a long time." ”

Banxia touched his head, "You're always busy." Isn't it tiring to be an official? ”

"Being an official is not tired, it's just that people's hearts are too tired of calculating, and they always talk around and around."

"Then if I go and put a sack on him in the middle of the night and beat him, he will be honest."

"Hahaha......" Gan Sui laughed, and he was out of control.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Wife, I really like you."
