Chapter Ninety-Four: Celebration Banquet

He Yan said: "Now that the donation has been completed, it is time to report the deficit of the transportation warehouse." ”

"I'm going to write an excerpt."

Master He said: "Yes." ”

"How is Dong Weng going to write?"

He Yan said: "Just write the general location, don't get to the point of detail." ”

Master He said, "I know." ”

"Then I'll write it now."

After a while, Master He finished writing the excerpt, took it and said, "Dong Weng, I'm done writing, I'll read it to you, you can see if it's okay." ”

He Yan said: "Read it." ”

Master He read: "Half of the rent on the day of the Jianghuai New Year's class is mediocre, the profit and loss are in vain, and the national economy is affected. ”

"The saver of Zuo Sinong is half of the salt tax and half of the Jianghuai salt tax is half of the world."

"Over the years, the two Huai salt affairs yamen should have, more than 190,000 taels of silver, and only 973,200 taels of silver in the warehouse."

"The salt removal merchant has used more than 2 million yuan, at least 4.6 million taels, which has been used by successive salt officials to pay tribute and prepare errands over the years."

"The rest of the silver taels, salt merchants and salt officials secretly feed love, and there are not a few.

Master He finished reading and asked, "Okay?" ”

He Yan said: "Just report it like this." ”

Master He asked, "Do you want to send it out now?" ”

He Yan said: "No, this matter is not in a hurry, wait and talk, you can put it away first." ”

As soon as Master He heard it, he put it away first.

A few days later.

On this day, Lu Degong came to He Yan and said, "My lord, the news just came that Wang Chaozong and Bao Yi'an will come back tomorrow, do you want us to greet you?" ”

He Yan said: "Okay." ”

"This time, they are doing the work of donating money, so they can welcome it."

Lu Degong smiled and said, "Then I'll go and prepare." ”

He Yan said: "Go ahead." ”

By the morning of the next day.

He Yan and Yangzhou officials, as well as salt merchants, as well as Wang Chaozong and Bao Yi'an's families, greeted him outside Yangzhou.

As Bao Yi'an's carriage came into view, Ma Dechang said: "Set off firecrackers." ”

At his command, the firecrackers were immediately lit.

"Crackling, crackling......"

The carriage on Bao Yi'an's side went a little further, and then stopped some distance away.

Bao Yi'an took the lead in getting out of the carriage, hugged his fists and walked over to He Yan and smiled: "Ah Da, Ah Daren." ”

He Yan also walked over.

When the two came together, Bao Yi'an smiled happily: "Master A, do you know who I am a brother with?" ”

"General Dingxi, Ah Gui."

He Yan smiled: "Then I have to congratulate Mr. Bao." ”

"The Di newspaper has been published, and Ah Gui is the excerpt for the two of them."

"Grace will come in a few days."

At this time, Wang Chaozong, who also walked in front of He Yan, hugged his fists and said, "Master A, fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”

He Yan smiled: "You guys are tired when you just came back today, so go back and rest first." ”

"Tomorrow night, Lord Lu has specially prepared a celebration banquet for you, and we will have a few drinks to celebrate."

Bao Yi'an and Wang Chaozong clasped their fists and smiled: "Lord Xie." ”

"Lord Shelu."

Lu Degong smiled: "You're welcome. ”

"Go ahead, your family is waiting."

Then Wang Chaozong and Bao Yi'an hugged their fists again, and they each walked to their families.

Ma Dechang looked at the two of them with envy.

Lu Degong smiled at He Yan and said, "This time the donation is over, and the adults can also breathe a sigh of relief." ”

He Yan smiled and said, "That's right, I can finally relax." ”

"But it won't last long."

"What does Lord Lu think about the lack of transportation?"

Lu Degong's face turned pale when he heard this, and then he smiled: "If you want me to say that my lord, you are a new arrival, and the deficit of this Yunku has nothing to do with you at all." ”

"And the deficit of the transportation warehouse is intertwined, and it is difficult to return."

"If your lord really compares the truth, the heavenly court will be furious."

"So I think it's better for adults to open one eye and close one eye, and not be serious."

He Yan nodded and said, "Then I have a plan in my heart." ”

Lu Degong smiled: "That's good, that's good." ”

He Yan said: "Let's go, go back." ”

Just when everyone began to walk back, Qi Shihuang's seventh aunt didn't see her master's figure, and frowned and muttered: "What about my master." ”

And Qi Shihuang will still be beaten at the hands of smuggler salt dealers.

Speaking of which, Qi Shihuang's luck is no one.

Originally, the smugglers originally wanted to arrest Bao Yi'an, and after they caught Bao Yi'an, they wanted him to return the money they paid for salt.

As a result, they didn't catch Bao Yi'an, but happened to run into Qi Shihuang, who was beaten with a hundred boards.

As soon as these people saw that Bao Yi'an had nowhere to arrest him, then Qi Shihuang could do it, anyway, all salt merchants had money, so they arrested him, and if he asked for money, they would beat him if they didn't give him.

Qi Shihuang, who had just been beaten and beaten, never expected that he would set up a trap by himself, but others didn't trap it at all, but put himself in the trap.

The next day in the blink of an eye.

Yesterday, Wang Chaozong slept at home for a day after he came back, and as soon as he got up and finished breakfast this morning, Zheng Dongxin came to him with the blueprints of the Wuting Bridge that had been designed.

Wang Chaozong was very satisfied with the design drawings and decided to build the bridge.

When it was time to celebrate the banquet in the evening, Lu Degong set the banquet venue on the painting boat, and there were not many people invited, just He Yan, the three major merchants, plus him Lu Degong, no one was there.

Walking on the slender West Lake on the painting boat, the gardens on both sides of the river are brightly lit, and while drinking on the boat, looking at the pavilions on both sides of the river, it is still very beautiful.

After everyone sat down, He Yan picked up the cup and said: "I won't say much today, please take credit for Mr. Wang and Mr. Bao, today the two of them are the protagonists." ”

"Let's have fun, let's do it."

Wang Chaozong and Bao Yi'an raised their glasses and smiled: "My lord raises love." ”

Then no one else had a drink, and then the five of them drank and talked.

Since Lu Degong also arranged fireworks at Slender West Lake tonight, the people on both sides of the strait gathered more and more, and the more lively they came.

The painting boats on the river are also walking on the Slender West Lake, which is very lively.

Just when the five of them had drunk about the same time, the fireworks arranged by Lu Degong finally began.

He Yan looked at it and said, "Yo, the fireworks have begun." ”

"I'll go out and see, which of you will go?"

Bao Yi'an drank happily, stood up and said with a smile: "I'll go." ”

Lu Degong smiled: "I drank a little too much, so I won't go out." ”

Needless to say, Wang Chaozong is now the most floating.

Ma Dechang said: "I will stay and take care of the court and serve Lu Degong." ”

He Yan smiled: "Okay, then I'll go out with Mr. Bao to see." ”

Bao Yi'an smiled: "My lord, please." ”

After saying that, the two of them walked out of the cabin.

When the two of them walked to the bow of the boat, a beautifully dressed maid came over and asked respectfully, "My lord, Mr. Bao, do you need a chair?" ”

He Yan said: "Yes, I'm having a cup of tea." ”

The maid said, "Please wait. ”
