So what is a primer?

This thing is a bit like a food stamp in the afterlife.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, if they wanted to sell salt legally, merchants had to obtain salt quotations from the government, and each quotation was divided into two volumes.

The middle is covered with a large seal of salt division.

Then divide the salt lead in two from the seal.

The back roll is given to the merchant as a voucher, which is called "lead paper".

The first volume is called a "stub".

The merchant went to the salt warehouse to branch the salt with the lead paper in the salt lead, and then sold it in the designated salt sales area.

Now that the "salt root" is burned, that is, the certificate of salt issued by the imperial court is gone, this matter can be big or small.

If the top is more real, let alone Xue Tongzhi, even the salt envoy will be unlucky.

So why is the Tongzhi of the Futai Yamen here in the inspection center?

Xu He asked Xie Kun in a whisper before he understood a little.

It turned out that all the ambassadors and deputy envoys were inspected, and the decree of the Qing Yan was inspected. Distinguish between the real and false salt, as well as the accuracy of weighing, to prevent the officials from making trouble.

And Xue Tongzhi of this government is really an unlucky bastard.

Originally, he knew that he had done a good job, but not long ago he was impeached by the officials because of some trivial matters.

He learned from the same year in Beijing that he was demoted from the Tongzhi of Yangzhou Mansion to the salt transportation judge of the Yangzhou Branch of the Lianghuai Salt Transportation Division, and he was subordinate to Liupin.

It was a good thing that a government official with five grades of government was demoted by two levels all of a sudden, which was originally quite unlucky.

But the Judge of the Transport Division is no ordinary judge.

From the second master of Qing Shui in the government to the fat shortage of Yunsi, Xue Tongzhi's eyes smiled.

No, he swept away the self-pity and self-pity, and before he waited for the subordinates to follow, he first came to Baoba, the fattest place under the Salt Division.

What is good is that at this stall, I encountered bandits blocking the door again, Xue Tongzhi ...... No, it was the future Xue Yunju who almost fainted in the toilet crying.

Looking at the unlucky guy in the officialdom in front of him, Xu He was a little speechless.

People are unlucky, and they will stuff their teeth when they drink cold water.

At this moment, a team suddenly rushed from the west in the direction of Baoba.

The leader was two four-carried sedan chairs, followed by more than 300 people.

When they got closer, everyone found out that it was the current Yunju of the Yangzhou Prefect and the Yamen of the Salt Transportation Branch.

Waiting for the two to get off the sedan chair, Xu He looked at the Yangzhou prefect in front of him.

Zhou Zhifu is in his early forties this year, with a Chinese face, a square and solemn appearance, and a hanging needle pattern on his eyebrows, which makes him not look like the kind of person who is easy to deal with.

As for the current Yun Judge, he is a white fat man with a big belly, and even the next sedan chair is carried by two subordinates.

The two parties wanted to see each other, and Governor Zhou frowned and swept towards everyone, quite like the majesty of Xu He's later leaders when they inspected: "How is the situation?" ”

Li Zhijie stepped forward and replied, probably explaining the situation.

After listening to it with a calm face, Governor Zhou waved his big hand, and the soldiers he brought behind him immediately came out of the crowd and went to the inspection center.

The fat man of the Salt Division looked at his successor with a mocking expression: "Xue Tongzhi, how can you appear in the examination institute under the jurisdiction of this official?" ”

Xue Tongzhi blushed, turned his head to look at Li Zhijie and said: "This official came to Hailing to inspect the imperial register last year, and it happened that the ambassador of the inspection institute had a banquet at the office, and this official ...... Just in time, in time! ”

Xue Tongzhi's position as the top judge is not a secret in officialdom, and the ghosts know that he is just an excuse.

The fat man smiled, glanced at him, turned his head and followed Governor Zhou to the inspection center.

Xu He looked at the back of Governor Zhou's departure, and thought of the shopkeeper and his buddies who died on the sandbar yesterday.

I don't know how Governor Zhou will feel when he knows about this bandit and his family's business has also suffered.

The matter was over, Zhang Jingxian, Li Zhijie and others chased Zhou Futai to the examination center, and Xu He himself went back to Hailing County to pick up his mother at Xu Mansion on Phoenix Pier.

The Phoenix Pier is the high point in the city where the Song soldiers took the mound of earth outside the city in order to resist the Jin army's southward movement.

Because of the continuous flooding of the Lixia River, the families of Hailing County later liked to build their mansions here.

This time the bandits disturbed the city, Xie Kun stationed his soldiers and horses on the Phoenix pier, firstly because he was afraid that the city would be broken, the terrain here was higher and could be used as a fulcrum to continue to resist, and secondly, it was close to the east city gate and assembled out of the city quickly.

So Xu He took Xiao Er into the city, and it didn't take long for him to come to the Phoenix Pier and find Xu's mansion.

This time it was the lame Xu Yong who opened the door, and led him to the side courtyard, which was the small courtyard where Xu Song placed the Xie family.

As soon as he entered the door, he found that the old Jiachang's family had also lived in this small courtyard with the Xie family.

"Crane!" Xie Shi burst into tears when he saw his son, and hugged Xu He and cried, "Is my son okay?" Mother is worried until now! ”

Xu He was afraid that Xie would be worried, so he picked some things from yesterday to today, and said them smoothly and steadily.

"Amitabha! Bodhisattva bless! Xie let go of his son, folded his palms, and recited the Buddha's name.

At this time, the old armor chief heard that Xu He was back, so he hurriedly greeted him.

Xu He was ashamed and said: "Uncle, Brother Peng went back to Dong'an to find my aunt, and I will go back to find them immediately!" ”

Although the old armor commander's eyes were full of worry, he pretended to be indifferent on his face and said: "Don't worry, this guy has the strength to run away even if he encounters a thief." ”

Xiao Er took the initiative to say at this time: "Uncle Xu, why don't I go back and find it by boat!" ”

The old captain waved his hand: "I heard that there are no thieves in the fishing shop, but your parents must be worried, you go back first to report safety!" ”

At this time, Xu He took a silver ingot of two taels from Xie Shi and handed it to Guo Xiaoer: "Xiao Er, if it weren't for you this time, it would be a big trouble!" This is a little bit of my heart, you take it. ”

Seeing this, Xiao Er did not shirk it mercilessly, and after taking the silver, he said to Xu He: "Brother He'er will use the boat to find me in the future." If you need help with other things, please ask someone to bring a message! ”

Xu He nodded and sent Xiao Er away.

After a few people sat down, Xu He asked about last night, and it turned out that as soon as the thief arrived last night, the people of the Xu family had already received the news.

In fact, Xu Song arranged for the people on Zhuangzi to be sentry every day after Taixing County was attacked by thieves.

This matter was managed by Xu Yong, a veteran who had just opened the door.

In the middle of the night last night, when Xie was asleep, someone suddenly woke Xie up outside the courtyard, saying that a thief had been found in the east of the village, and the eldest master asked each family to hurry up to Kong Huaitang to gather.

Xie listened for a while, and saw that there was movement around him, so he followed the old Jia Chang to Kong Huaitang.

Sure enough, the entire family of the Xu family rushed over one after another, and when a group came, Dazong arranged for people to carry torches to send these people to the north for refuge.

But in the end, he left the Xie family, and I heard that it was the eldest master Xu Song who specially advised.

It was inconvenient for Xie to be a woman, and in the end, he asked Lao Jiachang's family to follow Xie into the evacuation team of the Great Sect.

Their gang first went to the Qu clan, a big clan in the fishing industry, to temporarily avoid inquiring about the news.

After dawn, he learned that the thieves had retreated, so he helped the old and the young to settle in the Xu Mansion in the city.

As for the rest of the people, they don't know what happened now.

At this time, Lao Jia said: "By the way, before leaving last night, I saw the Huang family's compound on fire from a distance, and I don't know what the situation is!" ”

Xu He was stunned when he heard this, the Huang family compound was Huang Youcai's home.

Their home is in the southeast of Xujia Village, and it is indeed very close to Baoba, is the Huang family ......?
