Nine girls are quick to do things. The treasure was sold out in half a month. A total of two hundred and thirty thousand taels of silver were obtained.

Li Guang divided the profit of 4,600 taels. Extremely satisfied.

The treasury received a lot of money, and Emperor Hongzhi was also satisfied.

The nine girls helped the palace on an errand, and in the future, they can pull the banner of tiger skin, and they are also satisfied.

Chang Feng not only repaid the favor of the nine girls, but also showed his ability to do things in front of Emperor Hongzhi. Just as satisfied.

Hello, I'm good, everyone, yes.

Before you know it, it's the end of the month.

Chang Feng and others boarded the official ship at Tongzhou Wharf and went down the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.

When they reached Texas, they prepared to rest on the shore for a day.

Chang Feng will soon understand why the Jingguan wants to be the Jingqin errand.

Zhao Shijie, the governor of Shandong, led the officials of Shandong Tong Province to greet Qin Cha at the Dezhou wharf.

Qin Cha is making Yang Tinghe just a six-grade master. Shandong sent the Texas prefect to meet it.

The deputy envoy of Keqin had two uncles of the small country, a celebrant and a supervisor Bingbi, a duke's son, and a Jinyi Wei Qianhu who was favored by the emperor.

Governor Zhao must come in person.

That's right, the magistrates all over the world now know that there is a young man named Chang Feng in the Jinyi Guard who has recently turned purple in front of the emperor.

A snowflake fell from the imperial court, and when it fell on the head of the magistrate, it was a mountain.

The feudal officials had eyes and ears in Beijing and understood the movements of the imperial court.

Chang Feng's name has frequently appeared in the letters of the ears and eyes to the feudal officials in the past year.

Chang Feng and the others got off the boat. Governor Zhao bowed three times to Yang Tinghe and bowed nine times: "Minister, the governor of Shandong and other places is in charge of the camp and the commander of the river and military affairs, and the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is the title of Lang, Zhao Shijie, respectfully ask for St. Ann."

Zhao Shijie bowed to Qincha and claimed to be the full name of the official position of "governor".

In fact, the full names of governors in various places are not the same. For example, there are more than one "supervising camps", while others have less "supervising rivers".

Yang Tinghe said in a loud voice, "Holy Bow. Zhao Futai, please."

Governor Zhao led everyone to the Texas Station.

As soon as I entered the Texas Station, the entire Texas Station was filled with pots of blooming orchids.

Chang Feng was surprised: "Shandong doesn't produce orchids. What are these orchids?"

Governor Zhao replied, "Superior, these orchids were purchased by someone from Shandong Province to Huizhou."

"Orchids are the gentlemen of flowers. The six superiors are also gentlemen. With the flower of a gentleman, welcome the true gentleman. Only then can I show the hospitality of the land of Confucius and Mencius."

Chang Feng secretly said in his heart: Such a precious orchid will cost at least three taels of silver a pot to transport it to the capital. To buy from the place of origin, it costs at least one or two pieces of silver.

The station was full of orchids, at least a thousand pots.

Spend a lot of money, just to win a smile? It's too much of a drain.

Walking further to the post station, where Chang Feng and the others passed, there were young girls standing on both sides. All of them have delicate faces.

In order to serve the six messengers, Zhao Shijie selected a full two hundred girls from various provinces in Shandong.

The crowd entered the feast.

Chang Feng was surprised to find that this banquet was actually a Confucian banquet.

Yang Tinghe was a man of great knowledge. He also found out. He asked Governor Zhao, "As far as I know, the yellow bream is the first dish of the Confucian feast, right?"

Governor Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Yang is very knowledgeable. Among the Lu cuisine, the Confucian banquet is the first. I borrowed the cook of the mansion from Yan Sheng Gong to entertain the Qin Mission. Originally, the Holy Father did not borrow it."

"However, I mentioned to Yan Shenggong that Chang Feng Chang Qianhu was one of the deputy envoys of the Qin Mission. Yan Sheng Gong happily sent a cook from the public mansion."

Governor Zhao investigated the backgrounds of the six Qincha clearly.

He's watching people put on the dishes. Although Yang Tinghe is a young talent in the DPRK and China, his background is average. Therefore, he called Yang Tinghe "Brother Yang". To call Chang Feng is to call "Shangcha".

Li Guangyin said in a gloomy voice, "Oops. If you don't say it, you still have a big face."

Chang Feng explained: "When I tried 100 households in Qufu, I had the honor to follow

The Holy Father of Yan has had a relationship."

After eating the Confucian banquet, it is already the willow tip on the moon.

Governor Zhao clapped his hands: "Come on, Jing Chengyi."

A pro-soldier of the governor's yamen walked up to everyone with a tray. On the tray were six small silver ingots of ten taels.

Since Xuanzong, officialdom has had a rule. Superior officials go out on a long journey, passing through the territories of their subordinates. The subordinate wanted to give him a sum of money to cover the expenses. The name is "Cheng Yi".

Qin sent a border and only gave sixty taels of silver to Cheng Yi, which was obviously shabby.

However, this is just a "bright way". When it is night, when you pay a private visit alone, you will really send a considerable number of "dark range instruments".

Yang Tinghe said, "Thank you Zhao Futai for the gift."

Governor Zhao said, "It's late at night, please rest early."

Chang Feng is a little strange. It's still early. When the Jingguan arrives at night, he wants to drink flower wine, listen to Kunqu opera, and appreciate the thin horse. It's not over when you don't toss until you get to the sub.

Could it be that this Governor Zhao is a decent person and doesn't engage in this set of flattery?

Chang Feng is still young. I have no experience as a messenger to the capital.

Everyone went back to their bedrooms.

After a pillar of incense, there was a knock on Chang Feng's door.

Chang Feng said, "Enter."

It was Zhao Shijie's master who came in, surnamed Sun.

Master Sun led the four women into the room.

Each of these four women has its own characteristics. a charming and seductive with a hook in her eyes; One is quiet and shy; One is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old Xiao Nizi, who should be a thin horse in Yangzhou; There is also a thirty-year-old who should be a bed linen veteran.

Master Sun was holding a small box in his hand.

Chang Feng asked, "Who are you?"

Master Sun said, "It's poor. The smaller one is Zhao Futai's guest of the scene, Sun Cheng."

"Futai sent some Cheng Yi just now, I'm afraid it won't be enough for the Qincha to spend in Shandong. I made up for it."

Chang Feng said: This should be the so-called "dark range instrument".

He glanced at the small box in Master Sun's hand, and immediately knew in his heart: This box can hold a hundred taels of silver at most.

Master Sun opened the box.

Unexpectedly, instead of silver, there were two ingots of gold in the box.

Master Sun smiled and said, "Superior, these fifty taels of gold are not a tribute."

In the Ming Dynasty, the status of Beijing officials was noble. The Beijing official sees the magistrate, and the equals are two levels higher out of thin air.

But the magistrates were far richer than the Beijing officials. Because there are many ways to make money in the locality.

Governor Zhao is really generous. It was fifty taels of gold.

However, it is not a glorious thing to send a "dark range instrument" to Qincha and a woman who warms the bed. Generally, it is for the master who has no official position to do it for him.

Even if he encounters a rare incorruptible and honest Qincha in a century, and people are angry, Governor Zhao can also push 625: it is all his subordinates who make their own decisions.

Chang Feng kept in mind Huai'en's earnest teachings before leaving Beijing: "The mouth of eating others is short, and the hands of others are short."

He said, "You don't have to. Please take it back. Thank you Zhao Futai for your kindness."

Master Sun said, "This ...... All right. In addition, according to the established rules. The Texas Station should offer you a bed-warming maid."

"We don't know what kind of woman the poor likes. Just find four for you to choose from."

I don't want money, and I don't want women, so wouldn't it completely refute Governor Zhao's face?

Chang Feng had to reluctantly say, "Okay. I'll take your pick."
