Chapter 659: Harvest (3)
After cleaning up, he continued to praise the hens, chickens, and tree people, and then waved his hand and left the forest very easily. He didn't know that the hens, chicks, and tree people he had praised had been in a state of excitement, and the tree people were excitedly beating other big trees, and the chickens were jumping around the forest, and the hens were directly flapping their wings and flying in the forest like birds.
Running wildly all the way, without any accidents, Zhang Zhongjun came to the city gate of Magong Town again, and it turned out that the one who checked the waist card was actually the city guard last time.
It's only been half a day, and of course the city guards have a deep memory of Zhang Zhongjun, so they are very impatient to turn directly to the place where Zhang Zhongjun's name is, click on the hour above and say, "Lord Zhang, you still have more than two hours to spare." ”
Zhang Zhongjun blinked his eyes, as if there were three hours left last time, or what? But he didn't care about this time, anyway, he went in to hand in his things and came out to receive meritorious deeds, so he didn't waste much.
So Zhang Zhongjun didn't have any doubts, nodded directly and signed his name, and then asked where to hand in the bounty items.
Chengwei was secretly happy in his heart, because he really deducted a little bit of Zhang Zhongjun's time, don't look at it, this is just a deduction of a little, one deduction is a minute, and it will take half an hour to deduct him for sixty. In the eyes of people who run out of time and urgently need to enter the city to do errands, they will definitely be willing to exchange tens of thousands of taels of silver for this half an hour!
As for the deduction of one minute or two minutes, it will be discovered? Just kidding, when I left the city, I just told the other party how many hours there were, and I didn't ask the other party to sign and approve it, and the second time I came to take the account book I filled out, even if the other party knew that it was a few points less, did he dare to say that it was wrong?
If you dare to make trouble, you dare not let him in, do you really think that the money earned by deducting time is shared by yourself?!
For Zhang Zhongjun, this city guard has a very good impression, because he didn't use much time last time, and when he left, he casually said a general period, and now he comes back and doesn't care much about the remaining time, and he doesn't even care about deducting him directly for twenty minutes, hehe, if he still has more than an hour to spare, then he will be deducted for another ten minutes.
He was in a good mood, and he naturally answered Zhang Zhongjun's inquiry: "The things that the prince has offered a reward will go to the Zhencheng Mansion to handle, it is said that there is a way to connect to the capital, you really have to be lucky to get the bounty, and you can instantly let the merits you get be confirmed through the capital, that is, if you want to have 100 merits, the title of lord in exchange can be confirmed immediately, and the territory will also be confirmed in a very short time." ”
Seeing the other party's disdainful expression, Zhang Zhongjun didn't say a word, could it be that at this city gate, he untied the evil scepter wrapped in his clothes and showed that he had 40 of them? This is not a show off and a slap in the face, but an act of looking for death! An idiot would do this!
So Zhang Zhongjun just nodded, carried the package and walked towards the city.
I said before that Magong Town is called a town, but it is larger than the county seat, so the area is very huge, and if you want to dare to go to the town government yamen by running, although the time is also very fast, but running wild in the city is also a situation that causes trouble.
What Zhang Zhongjun is most afraid of now is to cause trouble, he only wants to be able to exchange merit for merit that no one knows, and it is best to know the thirteen princes after redeeming the merit!
So he directly hired a carriage that could run around the city and rumbled to the town government.
As for the appearance of this privileged carriage, it is very normal, first of all, because the city is too large, if you really encounter an emergency, but you can't run a horse in the city, it will definitely be a mistake, such as an emergency illness needs a doctor, from the head of the city to the end of the city, it may take an hour to trot, so it takes time, I am afraid that the patient will hang up halfway.
Moreover, when some powerful people are in a hurry, how can they tolerate walking as slowly as ordinary people? However, they cannot condone these powerful people to run horses in the city, because in these days, everyone has opponents, and they are all aiming at you and preparing to make trouble for you, so naturally they cannot show their handles and let people arrest them.
So all kinds of problems, as well as all kinds of needs, make it necessary to have a fast means of transportation in the city, so in order not to let people catch the handle, not to put the privilege down, but by the government to set up a fast horse convoy, anyone can ride, but the price is scared to death by ordinary people.
As soon as this thing came out, most of the people were satisfied, anyway, as long as it didn't interfere with their time, what was the price? Of course, there were also those who were not satisfied, that is, those gentlemen, who were looking forward to being able to use their privilege to run horses in the city, and they used to be able to turn a blind eye, anyway, there were many reasons to explain their horse running in the city.
But as soon as this fast carriage came out, there was no excuse or reason, because if you were in a hurry, you had to take the fast carriage and run horses in the city by yourself, which meant that you automatically broke the law, which was tantamount to finding bad luck for yourself.
Of course, the army and the holy decree are not in this restriction, as long as people receive the emergency report, put on red clothes and hang the emergency report, then they are qualified to go through the city and the countryside without stopping, and it is still a trivial matter to be killed and consider themselves unlucky.
The fast carriage came to the gate of the town government, everyone is a clear-eyed person, this kind of fast carriage that can buy a few acres of paddy fields in the countryside once a ride, nothing wrong, even if it is a powerful person, I really think that money is not money?
Although he was taken aback by Zhang Zhongjun's young appearance, when he saw the other party's armor, he immediately lowered his eyebrows and asked Zhang Zhongjun to get out of the car, and asked about the name and matter.
Knowing that Zhang Zhongjun was only an eighth-rank official, Ya Ding's expression was a little indifferent, but he still politely sent Zhang Zhongjun to the ceremonial room.
That's right, the place where Magong Town is responsible for the exchange of merits is the ceremonial room.
A middle-aged man with a goatee, holding tea and drinking tea, didn't even look at Zhang Zhongjun.
As soon as Zhang Zhongjun saw the color of the middle-aged man's official robe, he naturally immediately bowed his hand: "Your Majesty Zhang Hongyi has seen the principal. "Don't blame Zhang Zhongjun for saluting first, because the other party is wearing a seven-grade official robe. This also represents the awesomeness of Magong Town, the head of the sixth house of the family has actually reached the official position of the seventh-grade official, in this respect, it is almost the same as the level of a prefecture, at least the head of the six-house at the county level is absolutely impossible to wear the seventh-grade official robe.
"Well, what did you seize?" said the owner of the ceremonial house, blowing tea very indifferently.
Don't blame him for being contemptuous, where can there be such a sloppy person who comes to the gift room to exchange for meritorious deeds? There will not be only one person who comes, but the others are combed and are like the groom who are overtaken by many people.
So the little guy in front of him, I don't know where to get a similar-looking thing, and he rushed to exchange it for merit. This kind of thing has not happened to him before, so he doesn't need to talk about it at all.
