"My lord, please sit down in the hall for a while. The subordinates are not good at their hands and feet, so the people will urge them!" Zhu Youyuan arranged for everyone to sit down in the main hall, and then resigned. Mei Siyuan came to Anxian for the first time, and wanted to know more about the people's livelihood here, so he refused the arrangement of the salt administration department of the state capital, and led the eight people of the personal guard entourage to ask questions while walking, and slowly groped all the way. It had barely been two minutes since they arrived in this Shanbutou Village, and the Zhu family had finished their lunch, so where could there be so many ready-made meals for the nine people? As soon as he heard what the old steward said, he hurriedly sent the old mother and the old long-term worker to boil water and kill livestock and poultry. It's not that the subordinates are deliberately lazy, but this kind of cooking and cooking really can't be done overnight, and if it should be turned over, it must be fried, and if it is not half the same effort in the pot, how can the dishes be delicious? Zhu Youyuan naturally knew that this was reasonable, but how could he dare to tell everyone about it? I was afraid that a few adults would be unhappy after waiting for a long time, so they hurriedly got out and went to the house to supervise the work.

"Yiqing, there is something here, I will send you to do it. Mei Siyuan brought four guards on this trip, and Gu Yiqing was one of them. According to the law of the courtiers of the Dahua Dynasty, the officials who are in the third rank and above have the guards who are assigned by the Guards' Mansion. Four years ago, Mei Siyuan moved to the right to the magistrate of Qingxi County, receiving the rank of three ranks, and these four people were his guards. Today, he moved to the right of the Anxian Salt Transportation Administration, and received the title of the second rank from the first rank, and the number of guards was also increased to twelve, so these four people were transferred from the Qingxi County Prosecutor's Office.

"My lord, please speak!" Gu Yiqing left his seat and bowed and hugged his fists. Among the four, Gu Yiqing is the oldest, and he is the captain of the guard at this time.

"In a while, you go to Baochang Li and ask him to accompany me at lunch, and I have something to say to him. Ling, and asked him to come with the tenant farmer who found the salt cave. I am afraid that the reward of the imperial court has not yet been given, and now my chief, An Xianyan, has come here, and I should give him a private reward first, so as to thank him. ”

"The subordinates receive the order, and this will be done!" After finishing speaking, he led the three of them to the outside of the hall.

"Uncle Yun?" Mei Siyuan called, but no one answered.

"My lord, my father said that my lord might stay here tonight, so I went to check the nearby terrain first!" Yun Harrier took his father's place at this time, protecting Mei Siyuan closely.

"Hehe, Uncle Yun is too careful! This place is so secluded, I don't think there will be any thieves. Mei Siyuan said, and in his words, he recognized Yun Kite's prudence.

Yun Harrier didn't dare to think about it, and replied solemnly, "The safety of adults is definitely not sloppy." I, the father and son of the Yun family, have received the great grace of the Mei Mansion, and even if they die, they must not hurt the adults in the slightest! His Royal Highness the King of the Jaws has already informed him that if the adults come here, they will harm the interests of the big people in the court, and there must be no relaxation of half a cup of tea. ”

"Thinking about the source is only for salt control. However, I am in the situation of the DPRK, how can I get out of the entanglement of political factions? The people's livelihood is so difficult, why don't we make concerted efforts to relieve the people's suffering? When will the political dispute between the DPRK and the DPRK be stopped?" Mei Siyuan sighed sadly.

Zhu Youyuan's family is rich in wealth, raising hundreds of thousands of three poultry and five livestock. After inquiring from the side before, I learned that the middle-aged man in the fancy clothes of this trip was actually the minister of the first rank of the dynasty, and I was surprised and happy for a while. What is surprising is that this middle-aged man seems to be not confused, why did he ascend to this extreme position? Previously, he secretly estimated that he was a county and state lord of three or five grades. The good thing is that when the dynasty Yipin came to his own house to eat and stay, it was really a big face, and the history of the clan must be passed on to future generations. In addition to having a little family capital, he seems to be usually tight: he has not entered the government to get an official position, nor has he hung a pot to save the lives of the world. This is the most worthwhile thing in my life, and I have to do it in every way and meticulously, so I wish that all the ingredients on the table in the house were cooked. "This garlic duck, duck feathers, you have to clean it, hey, that suckling sheep soup has to blanch the smell of the sheep......" Zhu Youyuan is particular about eating and drinking on weekdays, and he is very good at cooking here, so he can't take the pot and spoon to cook it himself, "If it's done, bring it to the stove and heat it up!"

A table of twenty-three plates, four soups, five steamed, six stewed and seven burned, and a roasted whole pig in the middle, this is a lunch prepared by the Zhu Mansion for Mei Siyuan and others for an hour.

"Hehe, Master Mei, I've been waiting for a long time!, you can sit down and eat!" Zhu Youqiang said with a smile, but he thought in his heart, "It is really disrespectful to make Lord Mei wait for an hour, I just hope to be considerate."

Mei Siyuan got up from his seat, held his hand and said, "There is Mr. Lao Zhu." I took it upon myself to invite the old steward and a tenant farmer to sit at the same table, and I hope Mr. is not to blame!"

Hearing Mei Siyuan's words, he didn't seem to be angry, Zhu Youyuan's heart was relieved, and he hurriedly replied, "Where is it! How dare Xiaomin? Lord Mei is really polite!"

"Then it's a nuisance", Mei Siyuan smiled, and then said Gu Yiqing, "Go and invite the old housekeeper and the old brother to the table." ”

Recently, the old man only felt that his whole body strength was really inexhaustible, so he got up early this day, and went to dig water chestnuts for Zhu Youyuan's paddy field as soon as it was dawn. In the past, the neighbors called him "old man" regardless of age and old, and there was an accident of "blind mountain salt exploration", the young called him "old uncle", and those of the same age called him "old brother", which made the old man often have a smile on his face. During the lunch break, the mother-in-law brought millet porridge, and a few spoonfuls of pickled vegetables and radishes were put in the rice tube, which was licked and eaten clean by the old man. It had been less than a moment since he had eaten and worked in the fields, and he could hear the old steward shouting to himself from afar. The old steward explained the reason, and he was very obedient, but the owner invited him to the mansion for lunch.

"But what should I do? This quagmire, where can I enter the door of the owner's house", the old man was anxious, and he wanted to resign. Where is the old housekeeper willing, so that the old man washed in the ditch and hurriedly pulled away. When I arrived in the village, I saw two errand officials waiting, and the old man's legs were weak, and he almost hit the fence on the side, thinking, "Isn't there something wrong with the salt cave, and the official is going to arrest me to apologize?"

"Are you inviting me to dinner? Where is such a good thing?" The old man made up his mind for a while, and he was suspicious, but he followed behind and walked towards the Zhu family's mansion, and his heart was uneasy on the way.

"Brother Lao, please sit down!" Hearing the official call again, the old man who had been waiting in the side hall for half an hour believed that he was more suspicious than he was, and stood up with his waist bowed. Fu Cheng made a gesture of please several times, but the old man only looked at himself, looking confused, but he stopped and hesitated. Fu had no choice but to go first. The old man looked at each other and walked around.
