Zhu Youzhen breathed a sigh of relief, the food was still there.

It was a long convoy loaded with cargo.

Zhu Youzhen tried to get off the mule and horse, but the person who drove the car said: "You are about to arrive in the capital, you should also enter the capital, right?" I see that you are weak, so I may as well give you a ride. ”

The big black man grinned, showing a mouthful of yellow teeth, but he looked simple and friendly.

Zhu Youzhen thought about it, then nodded, the road was bumpy, and he felt that his bones were about to fall apart.

So I couldn't help but ask, "Where did you come from?" ”

"Nanjing."

As soon as he heard the "Nanjing ......" in Nanjing, Zhu Youzhen felt very cordial.

The mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao is still there, this Nanzhili is the land of Longxing.

Then he asked, "What kind of business are you doing?" ”

"A big deal." The coachman, seeing that he was a little behind, urged the mules and horses to move quickly.

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly.

The coachman said: "Actually, I don't know what kind of business to do, I am a big car, from Nanjing, and then into Beijing, but the accompanying steward, told us to be cautious in words and deeds, saying that it is to be rules, that is, they see me as honest, so they brought me." ”

Zhu Youzhen glanced at the coachman, he was really an honest man.

Immediately, Zhu Youzhen saw that the goods wrapped in the carload of felt cloth seemed to be very heavy, there were more than a dozen large carts, and the wheels ran over the official road, and there were immediately two deep wheel marks on the official road, which showed that the goods were heavy.

So Zhu Youjian said: "What are you transporting porcelain? ”

"Porcelain?" The man shook his head: "Porcelain is not valuable, our steward said, porcelain is a fart." ”

Zhu Youzhen was shocked by these words, porcelain is not worth much? What's the luck with this?

I saw the coachman say: "It's all said, these are all extremely valuable things......

As he spoke, he lowered his voice: "It's sent to the capital, to pay tribute to the old man, haven't you seen that this is going to be winter?" In winter, the old man always burns charcoal, right? You can't freeze them. ”

The coachman looked like he was worried about the people in the capital, and he only seemed to understand the literal meaning of this carbon respect.

Zhu Youzhen now understands some 'things', and when he heard this, he immediately understood, so he frowned lightly and said, "Do you need to transport it from Nanjing?" ”

"Said it was very valuable, and said...... This year, it will be sent more, and this is only here in Nanjing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang...... It's even heavier. Anyway, it's all said by the steward, and he babbles, saying that he has to double this year, saying that he has encountered something......"

Zhu Youzhen was curious: "What happened?" ”

"I don't know, I just listen to the steward's scolding of the court for harming the people, and our officials in Nanjing ask for their lives for the people......"

Zhu Youzhen was confused.

When they entered the city, the other carriages and horses had to be checked, and the men were all fierce, and even stopped some of the carriages and horses, turning the things inside into a mess.

However, although there were many cars in this convoy, the doorman wanted to step forward, and a person who looked like a steward only stepped forward easily, whispered a few words to the other party, and the doorman laughed, waved at him, and then retreated, and let him go directly, without checking the accompanying personnel and goods.

At this time, Zhu Youzhen was tired and hungry, so he fell asleep again, and when he got up again, he found that he seemed to be in the firewood courtyard of a mansion.

There are already many people here, busy loading and unloading goods.

Zhu You inspected the mule and horse, and the coachman said: "It's not good to make noise with you, our place has arrived, I pleaded with the steward, and allowed you to rest here, hungry and hungry?" ”

Zhu Youzhen looked around, here...... The courtyard wall is very high, and it is obviously a place where you are either rich or expensive, but a corner of this courtyard wall is filthy, and it is obvious that this is where the people stay.

However, not far away should be the warehouse, and the unloaded goods will be moved to the warehouse by manpower.

After a while, the steward of the owner of the mansion came with a few servants, and they carried lanterns, on which were written the words "Li Fu".

The steward and the head of the team docked, but the two did not shy away from it, as if they had known each other for a long time, and they were laughing at each other.

The steward of the Li family said: "It's hard, it's hard, it's such a long way, and I have to trouble you to walk around in person." ”

The head of the convoy said: "This is what should be done, my lord has always admired Li Gong, Li Gong lives in the temple, but he cares about the people, over the years, he has spoken for millions of people in our Jiangnan, so although the master is in Nanjing, he reads Li Gong every day, this time...... I collected some things, and asked Li Gong not to dislike them. ”

The steward of the Li family laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, my lord has always been worried about the Jiangnan side and cares about the people." Come, let's let the guys get busy, let's go to the chapel and have some tea. ”

The principal said, "You're welcome." ”

After humbling each other for a while, they hurried away.

And here it continues to be busy.

Zhu Youzhen only felt that it was strange here, and he just wanted to get out quickly at this time.

However, he was a little curious, so he asked the coachman, "Is this ...... Isn't it a gift? How so...... It's like ......"

The coachman hurriedly said: "Shhh, be quiet, it's carbon respect, don't talk nonsense." ”

Zhu Youzhen asked, "You used to come to the capital often...... Gifts? ”

"I don't come often, it's fat, but I did it six or seven years ago, it's just ...... It's not sent to the capital, this master is an official in the capital, who will send it to the capital! It's all sent to his hometown! ”

"But I heard that it's different now, the current lord, I heard that many of them are people from Beizhili, and their own homes are in the capital, so they can't ...... So now everyone is not as fanfare as before, and most of them have to cover it up, which is the foot of the Son of Heaven. ”

Zhu Youzhen did not continue to ask, but said, "What about my burden?" ”

The coachman went to look for it and handed it over to Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen saluted him and said, "There will be a period later, thank you." ”

The coachman said, "You want to go?" ”

"Yes, I have urgent business."

"It's getting dark, if you go out, will you have a place to rest?"

"Yes."

The coachman thought about it, touched a few copper coins from his body, stuffed them to Zhu Youzhen, and then said: "Don't pretend in front of me, your clothes and appearance are obviously in trouble, otherwise how could you fall on the side of the road?" People outside, will encounter difficulties, I am not a person with any great ability, fortunately I have enough oil and water this trip, these more than 30 money, don't dislike it, divided into two petals to flower, can always hold on for a few days. ”

Of course, Zhu Youzhen refused to ask for it.

The coachman tried his best to give, and the two rubbed for a while, and Zhu Youzhen saw that many people looked at this corner, so he still took the money, and couldn't help but have red eyes, nodded at him and said, "I'm going." ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave with his bags on his back.

It's just out of here, and there's a moon hole in front of it.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the steward of the Li family turned back with someone again, and when he saw someone coming out of here, he took a closer look under the moon, but saw that it was a down-and-out person, he was furious, stepped forward and raised his hand to give Zhu Youzhen a slap, and shouted: "Bold, can you enter and exit here?" Dog-like stuff, to get in and out, go through your dog door. ”

Zhu Youzhen almost slapped him and fainted.

Extremely ashamed and angry for a while, the Li family steward continued to curse: "Unruly dog thing......"

It turns out that there are two doors in this place, one end is the side hall leading to the Li family, and the other end is external, the so-called dog door is actually a small door, which is a place for people to enter and exit.

Zhu Youzhen stumbled, extremely embarrassed.

On the other side, it was the steward of the Li family who hurriedly went here to get an account, and then hurried to the middle hall of the Li family.

At this time, it was dawn, and some lights were lit inside and outside the Li family, and the steward smiled and gave the accounts to Li Guo, the owner of this mansion.

And Li Guo is already dressed, he is a cabinet scholar, and he will go to the cabinet to work at three o'clock.

Li Guo didn't look at the accounts, but said lightly: "Just enter the accounts, you don't have to show the old man ......"

The steward said very respectfully, "Yes." ”

Li Guo immediately set off and went out of the middle gate, and the steward carefully accompanied him until he was sent to the middle gate, and at this time, there was already a sedan chair waiting here.

This sedan chair is not an eight-lift sedan chair, but an ordinary small sedan chair, Li Guoping Suli, is very simple, not extravagant and wasteful, this is a well-known thing.

At this time, he slowly sat in the sedan chair, thought about it, and suddenly said, "Li Fu...... We need to be hospitable, so that we can show that we are hospitable. ”

"Yes, don't worry, sir, the villain has been prepared for a long time."

Li Guo seemed very satisfied, glanced at the steward, and said with appreciation: "Li Fu, over the years, you have done your best to make the old man worry a lot. Your son, how is it now? ”

"Still studying, but ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Guo smiled and said: "The old man will live a few days, let him enter the Guozi Prison, even if he has no fame, at least he can be named a prisoner." ”

This Li Fu was suddenly flattered, and immediately said, "Thank you, master." ”

As he spoke, he knelt down gratefully and knocked three times.

At that end, Li Guo's sedan chair had already risen.

Li Guo is naturally familiar with this kind of royal method, and if people do things well, they have to give people sweetness.

It's just that at this time, he was sitting in a rickety sedan chair, but thinking about his thoughts. Recently, His Majesty has urged to change the mulberry to food too tight, and he is caught in the middle, but he is in a dilemma.

Thinking in a trance, he casually opened the sedan curtain on one side, wanting to see the streets and alleys of the capital at dawn.

At this time, I saw on the street, a man wrapped in an old coat was carrying a burden, walking on the street in a very embarrassed way, he seemed to be covering his face, and at this time it was the coldest time, and his body was shrunk into a ball.

Li Guo squinted at this time, as if he felt disappointed, so he put down the sedan curtain.

"It seems...... I've got to think of a foolproof solution today. He muttered.

………………

I had a little cold today, I took some medicine, and I slept for a long time during the day, but I was already energetic when I got up, and I was rushing to write it, so don't worry, it's just that the update is a little late, but it will be before twelve o'clock.
