Zheng Ci was lying on the wall at this time, with tears in his eyes and blurred eyes, only seeing Zhang Anshi's righteous and awe-inspiring posture, as well as the person who was driven away by Zhang Anshi, looking stupid.

The man who carried the burden was gone.

Zhang Anshi said: "It's really strange recently, how can there be so many people carrying huge sums of money around? How can this be true, when did I become so rich? ”

The captains on the side were all afraid to come out, they were just ordinary captains, who would have thought that they could be in the same class as Wei Guogong.

There was a person who plucked up his courage and stumbled and said: "Grandpa, today's winter solstice, from the winter solstice to the end of the year, is a day to send charcoal." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Of course I know, I just deliberately yin and yang. These guys are all people's fat and people's ointment, so many people's fat and people's ointment, they are all sent to the old men in Beijing, and they are so blatant, they really don't want to be embarrassed! I, Zhang Anshi, are still doing business, they are good, lying down and collecting cash. ”

After hearing this, the captains all said, "What Grandpa said is true."

"You protect me.

"Whoa."

In fact, Zhang Anshi really doesn't need protection, now in the entire capital, almost every street has a captain Tiqi, as well as various city gates and docks, which can be said to be airtight! What Xiaoxiao got the rumor, he hid it a long time ago, and he didn't dare to come out.

Only Zheng Ci is like a knife at this time.

Although he didn't have much impression of the person who was driven away, with his intuition of being an official for many years, the other party was speaking with a Henan accent, and he had several protégés, who were magistrates in Henan...... In previous years...... will send people to ......

Zheng Ci couldn't wait to jump off the wall directly, and he couldn't fight with Zhang Anshi.

However, he still cherished his life, endured his grief, and climbed down the ladder slowly.

"Dad, what's wrong, are there a lot of brocade guards outside?"

Zheng Ci blushed, and scolded for a long time: "Zhang Anshi, I joined his mother, he didn't let me have a good time, and the old man fought with him." ”

When Zheng Zhong heard this, he trembled with fright, and hurriedly said: "Dad, I can't help it, I can't do it, we can't do it." ”

Zheng Ci said: "Go, go and inquire, what's going on outside, you have to inquire carefully." ”

Zheng Zhong was stunned and said, "My son will go in person?" ”

"Of course you go in person." Zheng Ci glared at him.

Zheng Zhong listened, where did he dare to be verbose, and he went busily.

Zheng Ci returned to the middle hall with his hands behind his back and a gloomy face, pacing back and forth in annoyance, sighing and sighing.

I can't live my life.

He is still a scholar, and his Yulu is definitely not low.

But the cost is even greater, and a large family has six or seven wives and concubines of his own, as well as sons, and sons and concubines, and several grandchildren in the future......

And then how can such a large family, without dozens of slaves, be served?

In addition, there are three or four coachmen, otherwise how can the family travel? There must be three or four cooks, as well as errand runners, sedan chair bearers, all kinds of people, etc.

But which of these things does not require silver?

Just rely on that little money, can it be done?

In fact, with Yulu alone, the family can live a fairly nourishing life, especially his Shangshu, all kinds of Yulu add up, it must be much better than ordinary people.

The problem is, if it's just like this, then didn't the old man do it for nothing?

In fact, Zheng Ci is quite incorruptible, he is really incorruptible, because in addition to Tan Jing and Bing Jing, Zheng Ci basically doesn't take anything that shouldn't be taken.

Every New Year's holiday, as well as the winter solstice and summer solstice, it is the time when the crowd is in full swing, but anyone who can have something to do with Zheng Ci will come in an endless stream to give gifts.

Of course, this gift is also very volatile.

The original Tan Jing and Bing Jing don't know exactly when they started, but at that time, everyone just wanted to do something and ask for favors, so in a certain name, send something.

You sent something, and they did things for you,

even give you a promotion, which is called paying money with one hand and delivering goods with one hand.

But later, it intensified.

Because more and more people are sending, everyone is sending, which means that everyone is not sending.

As a result, at this time, Bing Jing and Tan Jing became the norm!

The usual meaning is, isn't it right for you to send this thing, and you still want to teach me how to do things? Who are you, you.

The terrible thing is that although everyone has accepted your gift and has no intention of doing anything, if you don't give it, it will be out of order, and it will really be among the hits.

As for the severity of the ceremony, there is also a doorway.

At first, it was just a regular ceremony, and everyone also talked about the elegance of the literati, collected a little calligraphy and painting, or what porcelain vase, what antiques and other things were sent.

But when it came to the Yuan Dynasty, everyone was too lazy to be polite, because at that time, the proportion of literati who were officials was not much, especially those Tatar nobles, you gave them this, isn't this a pastime?

In the end, the so-called ice and charcoal became red. Bare. The naked ones gave gold and silver.

After the creation of the Ming Dynasty, the restoration of the Song system was a great attack on many systems and bad habits of the Yuan Dynasty. As for the ice and charcoal like the Yuan Dynasty, which were full of copper smell, they were inherited in their entirety.

After all, vulgarity is a little vulgar, but you can really earn a lot.

And this thing is more reliable than Yulu.

Yu Lu was issued by the emperor, and the emperor of the Zhu family has a very questionable character in the eyes of the ministers, if he owes you any month, you can't do anything about him.

But this filial piety is different, filial piety is sent by the next people, these people are all dependent on you, and they are looking forward to you, and people come to send this, but they are afraid that you will not accept it.

At this time, Zheng Ci became more and more angry the more he thought about it, and he almost crooked his nose.

He put his hands behind his back, like ants on a hot pot, so anxious that he couldn't hold it back, and scolded again: "I knew he was not a good person, he was a female cadre......"

"Bastard bastard, sooner or later there will be retribution for doing this......"

scolded for more than half an hour, his mouth was dry, and he remembered something: "This dog thing he unloaded and killed the donkey, just now the court pushed his father, turned his head and turned his face and didn't recognize people, it's really better than a pig and a dog, so he is not afraid of being struck by lightning." ”

At this time, his son Zheng Zhong finally rushed back out of breath: "Dad, Dad......"

Zheng Ci suddenly cheered up, his face was gloomy, he looked at Zheng Zhong who was panting heavily, and asked urgently, "How is it, what news is there outside?" ”

"There is good news and bad news." Zheng Zhongdao.

Zheng Ci was in the heart of bitter first and then sweet, so he said: "What's the bad news? ”

Zheng Zhong said: "It is true that the Jinyi Guard blocked our streets and alleys, ostensibly to investigate illegal things, but in fact, it was to rush to those who sent Bing Jing and Tan Jing, but anyone who carried a huge amount of money and had no other reason was ordered to be repatriated, and now everyone is frightened and does not dare to show their heads." ”

Zheng Ci was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet.

"The good news?" Zheng Ci felt that at this time, he needed good news to rush the haze under his eyes.

Zheng Zhong was happy: "The good news is...... Wei Guogong is not targeting our Zheng family, good guy...... All the wharves and ferries, as well as the city gates, the streets and alleys, and the mansions of the ministers, are all Jinyiwei's people, Dad, it's not Zhang Anshi who is targeting you, he is targeting everyone. ”

Zheng Ci listened, but he only felt dizzy, raised his hand, and scolded: "Evil animal, what kind of good news is this!" ”

Zheng Zhong hurriedly dodged, hugged his head, and muttered, "It's not that our family is unlucky, isn't it good news?" ”

"You eat the dirt." Zheng Ci angrily pointed at Zheng Zhong's nose and scolded.

Zheng Zhong was aggrieved and authentic; "It's not your son who offended you, it's the ...... of An Shi"

Zheng Ci glared at him and said; "I can't afford to mess with Zhang Anshi, and I can't teach you a lesson?"

After the noise.

Zheng Ci finally calmed down, he closed his eyes, sat dry, and didn't say a word.

Instead, Zheng Zhong stood aside and looked at Zheng Ci's face cautiously and said, "Son."

I heard that Jin Yiwei said that he wanted to make this a regular practice. ”

"Routine?" A chill flashed in Zheng Ci's eyes: "Is he determined not to teach us better?" ”

Zheng Zhong said: "Dad, shouldn't we reflect on it, are we too harsh on Zhang Anshi on weekdays?" I've heard that few of the Manchu courtiers said good things about Zhang Anshi. ”

Zheng Ci raised his head, glared at Zheng Zhong, and finally lowered his eyes again, and said slowly: "Don't panic, don't panic." ”

"Father has a way?"

Zheng Ci snorted coldly and said: "It's not that the old man has a way, throughout the ages, the ushering and sending of the world has never been broken." Zhang Anshi is too tender, he thinks that by pointing to this, he can cut off these? Hey, after all, I'm young, and I don't understand the world. When the old man was young, he was also high-spirited, thinking about all kinds of stereotypes and bad customs, wouldn't it be good to cure this one? ”

After a pause, the old god Zheng Ci continued on the ground: "I have read a lot of books, and I only know after so many years of ups and downs in the sea that I know ...... The reason why everything in this world still exists has its own reason! It's not something that can be solved with a sweep. ”

"Look at Emperor Taizu Gao, how strict he was at the beginning, ten times more fierce than this An Shi, how many people have been killed, this court is up and down, everyone is in danger, there are many people who have to explain their future affairs to their families before they go to court, but what in the end?"

He stared at Zheng Zhong and continued: "So, there will be a way, as long as you hold on, there will be a way." It's just that these days, I'm afraid I'm going to suffer. ”

"Bitter and bitter?" Zheng Zhongdao.

Zheng Ci said slowly: "Bitter for you, starting today, you will set an example, the monthly money given to you every month, as well as your mother-in-law's dressing money, and other expenses, all stopped, and you have to cut back on food and clothing."

"Ah......" Zheng Zhong wailed.

The entire Jinyi Guard, more than 20,000 people, divided into three shifts, not only in the capital, but also in the provincial capitals and prefectures, have also been replaced three months ago.

That is, those who were released were transferred back to the capital, and the capital allocated a part of them to various places.

This was avoided, because the Jinyi guards in various places had been stationed for a long time and were familiar with the locals, so they couldn't be ruthless.

What's more, Nanzhen Fusi is staring at it again, and the inner thousand households are also being investigated, and the Beizhen Fusi is up and down, and now he has no backing, knowing that he may make a mistake at any time, and he will be rectified by Zhang Anshi, and next, he will be punished by the law.

Since Wei Guogong took this as a top priority, and it was the biggest action after Wei Guogong took full control of Nanzhen Fusi.

So everyone is working hard, and they just can't wait to show more in front of Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi was on duty in the first half of the night, and returned home tiredly, and he didn't even have the strength to eat supper, so he just wanted to fall asleep.

At this time, I realized that patrolling the streets was also so hard, so the next day, I summoned the acquaintances, servants, and townspeople of the North and South Towns, to discuss, and decided that from now on, a sum of money should be allocated to give a subsidy to the captains and horsemen who patrol the streets.

There is not much silver, only half a tael of silver a month, but it suddenly boosted the morale of the upper and lower levels.

This money is also a sum of money for the lieutenants of the lower ranks, and the military attaches do not look down on this, but this does not prevent them from thinking that the country is honest and kind.

What's more, there are some other benefits of this brocade guard on the street, that is, the usual small people are gone.

Many places that hide dirt and dirt have also closed their doors, and they dare not do just trading.

Zhang Anshi went to Nanzhen Fusi, and then began to enter the palace.

He has been crowned as the Duke of Weiguo, and he has not yet thanked him.

It's a top priority!

At this time, in the building.

Yisha was talking to Zhu Di with a smile, as if he was at home.

Many ministers in various ministries scolded them, saying that the brocade guards poured out of the nest and disturbed the people, and the people were so miserable that everyone was in danger.

"The slave maid also heard that several old ministers were also very dissatisfied with this, and said a lot of things that were not very good."

"And ...... The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zheng

Ministry, he's sick again. ”

When Zhu Di heard this, he frowned, and couldn't help but say, "Isn't this just the end of the disease?" I just sold my leave yesterday, saying that I was already in good health, why am I sick again? ”

"It was said that his body was not yet refreshed, and he was afraid that he would have to raise it for a few more days, but the slave maid heard that he was sick."

Zhu Di said: "Is his wife an idler? ”

Yi Lost: "......"

What is called thinking, what is called pattern, different people have different understandings of qi disease.

For example, when he thought of a popular person getting sick, he must have expected that this must have been calculated.

Zhu Di doesn't have much experience in being calculated, he is a martial artist, and he can probably make a normal man sick, isn't it just the pickling of men and women?

Yisha lowered his voice and said: "The person who said that he was Jinyiwei squatted at the door of his house, staring at the passing crowd. ”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said: "What, Jinyiwei bullied people on the street?" ”

Yishu hurriedly said: "It's not that I deceive people, it's just an investigation, so far, no one has been arrested and put in prison, and I haven't even heard of beating and scolding, it's all persuasion." ”

Zhu Di said with a speechless expression: "What about this Zheng Ciniao?" ”

He didn't dare to say it thoroughly.

To put it bluntly, it becomes a matter of not pleasing anyone.

For Zhu Di, you are smarter than me?

For Zhang Anshi, aren't you suing me?

As far as the officials are concerned, aren't you exposing us for not being in accordance with the rules for collecting ice and charcoal respects? What does the matter of the scholar have to do with you eunuch?

Just when Yishiha hesitated, Zhu Di could see that Yishiha was hiding words in his heart.

This is actually the reason why Yishiha has been able to serve by Zhu Di's side all the time.

It's not just because he figured out Zhu Di's temper.

Another most important reason is that Zhu Di also understands his temper, and the latter is actually more important.

Many people liken people who are always loved by their bosses to be hidden, but this is not the case.

Everyone is a smart person, if this person can't even see through Zhu Di himself, how can he rest assured to stay by his side?

So most of the time, having shortcomings, or mistakes, is the real way to survive.

Zhu Di was about to ask, but fortunately, at this time, someone helped Yishu to relieve the siege.

But I saw a eunuch tiptoe in, and said in a respectful whisper: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei Guo asks to see." ”

Zhu Di said: "It's just right to come, I still have to ask him about the guilt, why did he get sick!" ”

Zhu Di smiled, waited for Zhang Anshi to come in, saluted, and said: "The minister has no size...... But I am so grateful to have been so loved by His Majesty......"

Zhu Di waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, give him a seat."

Zhang Anshi sat down and said with a smile: "After Your Majesty was enthroned, the minister's family was very happy, especially the minister's daughter-in-law, saying that His Majesty really has nothing to say to the minister, and the minister should not take care of the affairs of the family outside in the future, so gracious, there is no way to repay if he does not work hard." ”

Zhu Di smiled and nodded: "Duchess Weiguo is very knowledgeable. ”

Zhang Anshi said again: "The minister reprimanded her at the time, I said, did you say these words from a woman's family?" Do you still want to teach such a big truth, and I, Zhang Anshi, will not understand it? ”

Zhu Di said: "You are also very sensible.

"Where, where, isn't this all taught by my brother-in-law and sister since childhood, my sister ......"

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Don't continue to rip it off, if you continue to talk about it, your ancestors are eighteen generations, and they are all loyal to me......

Zhang Anshi was a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, this is true......"

Zhu Di changed his words at this time and said: "I heard that in the past few days, the north and south towns have been very lively?" ”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "Yes, these days, there are many small people in the capital, and the minister is thinking, this is the foot of the Son of Heaven, if the feet of the Son of Heaven are not peaceful, how can this happen?" The minister is

Eat the king's lu, be loyal to the king's thing, so ......"

Zhu Di squinted at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi still spoke eloquently, not ashamed at all.

There are some things, you can't point them out, you can't say that all officials can be killed, and I, Zhang Anshi, want to treat them.

If this is the case, even if everyone's face is torn.

Zhu Di didn't continue to delve into this matter, but said: "How much wine is sold?" ”

"Sell...... More than 7,000 bottles were sold. ”

"More than seven thousand?" Zhu Di raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at him fixedly, with a little bit of the appearance that you are not doing anything serious.

But...... Five taels of silver for a bottle can be sold for seven thousand taels, Zhu Di already felt a little unexpected.

It's just that...... This is a little different from what you Zhang Anshi bragged about at the beginning!

"The minister is here to thank you." Zhang Anshi said: "In addition, the minister has obtained the will, especially seeing that His Majesty has to add 50,000 ministers to eaters, which... This...... Your Majesty treats the minister so kindly, and the minister has a thousand words, and it is difficult to praise the kindness of His Majesty......"

Zhu Di pointed out his purpose very directly, and said, "So you are here to ask about the food?" ”

Zhang Anshi said without changing his face: "The minister came to thank you." ”

Zhu Di didn't bother with him much, so he said: "This eater, where do you think it is appropriate?" I have thought about it, your former eaters were all in Annam, if you still add them to Annam, even if I give them all to you, there are not so many Han households! When I first agreed on this matter, I only thought that you had to be rewarded for your great work, but now I am embarrassed. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di frowned slightly, showing a little entanglement.

Zhang Anshi smiled dryly: "Your Majesty, this..."

Zhu Di said: "It seems that you have any ideas?" ”

Zhang Anshi shook his head: "Thunder and rain and dew, all for the king's grace, Your Majesty is willing to reward, the minister is grateful, since what Your Majesty gives, the minister will accept it willingly."

Zhu Di soothed his frowning brows at this time, and smiled: "Actually, this matter is not urgent, I have to think about it." You, sell wine well, what did you tell me about it in the first place? You are still young, don't be frizzy in doing things, and do things one by one. ”

As soon as Zhang Anshi heard it, he understood what it meant.

Who taught His Majesty to play performance?

Isn't it obvious that the food eaters will be linked to the performance of selling wine?

What can Zhang Anshi say? I had no choice but to say: "Yes, the minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings, the minister...... Go back and sell it now. ”

Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go, hurry up." ”

Zhang Anshi came out of the palace.

He immediately grinned, this is what His Majesty said himself, he wants to play performance by himself, then I, Zhang Anshi, have no choice but to be the king of volumes.

When to sell alcohol...... Matured.

Although he was tired in the first half of the night, Zhang Anshi still insisted on being on duty and personally took over the captain of the day shift.

The lieutenants who were about to be on duty and the lieutenants who were on duty with Zhang Anshi in the first half of the night were all familiar with Zhang Anshi, and knew that Zhang Anshi was not as strict as they imagined.

So everyone is relaxed.

After the handover, Zhang Anshi pressed the knife on his waist and taught several captains on duty the art of self-defense.

"Self-defense, first of all, you have to save yourself, and then you can kill the enemy, understand? As long as you live, the enemy will never be able to cross you, so rounding up, even if you win. ”

"The so-called self-defense is to see the four directions, listen to all directions, and be vigilant immediately if there is a slight disturbance! Wherever this person goes, he must first observe the terrain, find a place to hide, and always warn himself that he is in danger......"

All the lieutenants nodded one after another, but they thought in their hearts, my rotten life, I learned to use a bird? ”

At this moment, several people were escorting a large cart.

Zhang Anshi raised his eyes and shouted directly: "What person?" ”

The lieutenants were immediately vigilant and surrounded the people escorting the car one by one.

Led by a company of one man

Hurriedly stepped forward tremblingly, and said with a smile: "Official, we are holding the goods." ”

Zhang Anshi said with a tense face: "Charge the goods, what kind of goods?" You look like a good person with thick eyebrows and big eyes, but according to my years of experience, the more you look like a good person, nine times out of ten you will be a bad person, come ...... Look what's in that car! ”

A lieutenant immediately lifted the felt cloth in the cart, and then said, "Grandpa, it's wine." ”

"Wine ......" Zhang Anshi held his chin and stepped forward, but saw that there were indeed more than a dozen boxes of wine on it.

Zhang Anshi circled around the wine and said, "This is the palace wine?" What are you doing here? ”

The visitor cautiously said, "Wine, wine...... Of course...... Take it and drink it. ”

Zhang Anshi relaxed his vigilance and nodded secretly: "What you said makes sense, okay, okay, you go, let you go, rest assured." ”

Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said to the lieutenant behind him: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, this is someone buying wine to drink, withdraw, withdraw, don't get in the way." ”

When the man heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly led his men and pulled the cart away.

On the other side, someone came with a burden, and Zhang Anshi led someone to rush forward and shouted: "Stop, what are you doing?" ”

As soon as the other party saw Zhang Anshi and the others, he turned around with a flat shoulder and hurried.

A few lieutenants wanted to chase after him, but Zhang Anshi waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, it's just the frightened people, unlike the gangsters, everyone is scared away, there is no need to chase, but don't scare people to death." ”

At the other end, the big car appeared in front of the firewood house in the backyard of the Zheng family.

The person at the head, like a thief, kept wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, looking scared.

On the other side, Zheng Ci, who continued to recuperate in the backyard room, was lying on the couch, and the sound of "ouch, ouch" came out of his mouth.

The maidservants served tea and water, but I don't know what happened to the master, and suddenly the illness became even more serious.

When the doctor came, he seemed to be helpless, and only prescribed some ordinary prescriptions.

At this time, Zheng Zhongxing hurriedly rushed in, holding a greeting post in his hand, and said in a somewhat high voice: "Dad, Dad, Dad......"

"Ouch, ouch......"

Zheng Zhong was beaming, grinning, and dancing happily: "Dad, Zhangde Mansion...... Someone from Zhangde Mansion is coming......"

"Ouch...... Ahh......h

"Dad, did you forget? Originally...... That protégé of yours...... Zhu Wenjie, the prefect of Zhangde, the year before last, he was only the county magistrate of Qiantang County, not your father's help......"

Zheng Ci's eyes widened slightly, and he said, "I think about it, I think about it, it's him ......"

Zheng Zhongle said happily: "He sent someone from Zhangde Mansion to send you charcoal." ”

Zheng Ci was stunned: "This ...... This ......"

Zheng Ci didn't say anything more, immediately put up his shoes, and said in a hurry: "Change clothes, change clothes for me, it's really strange, how did they send Tan Jing?" This Zhu Wenjie has some ability. ”

In fact, under normal circumstances, after this kind of ice and charcoal respect, after it is rolled to the point that everyone gives it, the person who gives the gift will send the gift, and people like Zheng Ci will not even see it, leave the gift list, and roll away for me.

But today, Zheng Ci must see it!

You know, from this winter solstice to now, he hasn't seen a gift!

Enter the fucking Zhang Anshi!
