Chapter 41: Letter Darts

Looking at Chen Hua, a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, Tan Qingqing likes it tightly.

Tan Qingqing also rubbed Chen Hua's little face fiercely.

"Of course~ Books are good things, we all have to read them."

After educating the little rabbit cubs of the Chen family, Tan Qingqing pulled them to receive letters in Wuzhou City.

Letters are written first and foremost only by learned people.

Secondly, only the rich can dominate.

So Tan Qingqing didn't set up stalls in the streets and alleys like a fortune teller, waiting for guests to come to the door.

It's about seeing whose yard is magnificent, and whose house looks like a scholar.

and shouted at the door of his house.

"Send a letter! Letters sent to Yuzhou City! Dragon Gate Dart Bureau Escort! ”

The door opened.

The one who opened the door was an old butler, sixty or seventy years old.

The old housekeeper stopped Tan Qingqing and said, "Only go to Yuzhou City?" Don't go anywhere else? ”

"Take the waterway. Don't go anywhere else. And only family letters, and general items. ”

"If your master moves his family to Yuzhou, then you have to talk to the dart head of our Longmen Dart Bureau."

"We don't relocate. Send only letters to your family. The old housekeeper invited Tan Qingqing to go in.

"Since it's from the Longmen Dart Bureau, there will be a detailed contract and the official seal of the Dart Bureau, right?"

"Rest assured, it's all there. I'll take it out later, and you'll see if you take a closer look. Won't fool you. ”

Only then did the old butler be satisfied, "Come with me." ”

The family's surname is Liu. The Liu family is also a big surname in Wuzhou City, so the built-in yard is not small.

followed the old housekeeper around and around, and finally arrived at Master Liu's study.

Master Liu opened his mouth to ask Tan Qingqing to take out the official seal of the dart bureau and show him.

"Well, that's it." Tan Qingqing handed him the official seal of the dart board.

Master Liu looked at it for a moment and nodded, "It's the chapter of the regular dart game." I heard that you were invited yesterday and participated in the deer banquet held by Fei Taishou? ”

Tan Qingqing was ashamed, "It was our big dart head who was invited, and we just went to eat." ”

"You guys are really good at dart, and you have robbed the blades and horses of the Tiele people."

"Walk the rivers and lakes. Seeing these dogs and grandsons killing our people, why don't you pull out a knife and make them suddenly? ”

Master Liu gave a thumbs up, "I am also the people of Dongxu, and I am ashamed of my old age." ”

He took out a pile of hemp paper that had been written full of words from under the case, but there was neither a signature nor a seal at the end of this paragraph, and it should not be finished.

In front of Tan Qingqing, Master Liu made a payment at the end of the paragraph, and stamped the seal with mud.

Tan Qingqing took out a clean oil paper with the logo of the Longmen Dart Bureau from the package, wrapped the letter to Master Liu, and sealed it with pigskin glue.

In the place of sealing, stamp the official seal of the Longmen Dart Bureau.

Mr. Liu wrote the recipient's name and address on oilskin paper.

The epistle is considered to be packaged.

When the five coins of silver arrived, Tan Qingqing went to the door of the next courtyard to shout.

In the afternoon, Tan Qingqing and a few people received a total of seven letters, three taels and five dollars of silver, and returned to the accommodation inn.

In the inn, there were other guys who went to collect letters.

Everyone put the letter in one box, and put it in another box.

In addition to the sender's name, the date of receipt, and the name of the person in charge of the letter, the contract also has the name of the person in charge of the letter.

At the end of the month, this is another bonus.

For a letter, the person in charge can divide it into 10%, that is, 50 yuan.

More work, more rewards.

Therefore, as long as the dart board guys have the opportunity to receive letters, they will do so vigorously.

Today, the entire Longmen Dart Bureau, including Tan Qingqing, has received a total of more than 30 letters, all wrapped in good oilskin paper.

Oilskin paper does not get into the water, and it is a good thing to wrap letters.

"Have you agreed on a few lines? To go or not to go? As soon as Tan Songbai came back, he asked his father about the situation of those merchants.

"If it's decided, they'll have to pack up tonight."

"It's settled." Tan Congwen said.

"I sent someone to say just now, and those merchants have already met at the Shili Pavilion outside the city. Things have already begun to be shipped out of the city. ”

"Because things are valuable, I hope we can leave as soon as possible. So as not to be attacked by mountain bandits on the way to wait. ”

"And when are we leaving?"

Tan Congwen still said, "Leave tomorrow night." But tonight, we also have to get a batch of people and goods, go to the Shili Pavilion outside the city, and guard our own goods. ”

By the way, I will protect those merchants.

After all, the dart board is walking outside, and the money earned by helping to send letters is still a small amount of money.

The most profitable ones are ticket darts, silver darts, object darts and human body darts.

There are only six types of darts in the gantry dart board.

Letter dart: Letter. Ticket dart: Silver ticket. Silver Darts: Gold and silver treasures.

Grain dart: five grains of grain. Object Darts: Important items. Personal darts: personal safety.

In short, there is such a thing as money, and the more the merrier.

As long as you can make money, the dart guy and Tan Qingqing are not too troublesome.

"Okay, then let's call a group of people and move things first." Tan Rongbai began to roll call.

The eldest brother ordered ten people and followed him to pull the goods.

Of the 900 catties of grain and firewood purchased in the morning, a small half could not be carried into the carriages and carts in time.

Now let's hurry up and work together to carry it.

After the goods were moved, the ten people ordered by Tan Rongbai followed Tan Rongbai out of the city.

The rest of the people, pack up the things in the inn, rest and rest, Ming'er went out of the city and joined Tan Rongbai.

Those who stayed in the inn ate their lunch, ate hastily, and went back to their houses to sleep.

Before dawn on the second day, Tan Qingqing and Tan Jiexing went to the street and came back with some steamed buns, chaotic bean juice, oil cakes and other foods.

It is almost impossible to open a stove in an inn today.

So if you want to eat, you can only go to the street and buy it.

Fortunately, the price of grain in Wuzhou City is not high, otherwise Tan Qingqing would not have been able to get down without two coins of silver.

"I got up and ate breakfast quickly, and after eating, I hurriedly went to pull the goods. It's two trips in and out of the city. It's all good! ”

"Got it."

The people in the inn responded and got up quickly, boiled water to wash their faces, and had breakfast.

After breakfast, everyone carried steamed buns and went to transport goods.

Manju is for lunch and dinner.

I've been on the road all day, and I don't have time to start a stove for them.

Everyone put their belongings in the inn and their belongings on the carts and carriages, and called the mules to the outside of the city.

When the dart board entered Wuzhou City, it was in the south city.

Now leaving Wuzhou City, I will go to Beicheng.

The checks at the gates out of the city are as strict as when they come.

The big brother who guarded the city checked the road guide, let him go, and walked ten miles north before he arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion.

"Big brother, you didn't have anything to do here last night, right?"

"It's nothing." Tan Rongbai said. "This place is far from the city gate, and the mountain bandits are not so bold. But if you deviate from the official road, it may not be. ”
