Feng Xing

For two days, Zong Yue's complexion was uncertain.

Dewang was cautious and suffered several tantrums.

The following news came out today, and Dewang did not report to death, but pushed De Cai to the front.

"His Royal Highness, Lord Fan left Yangzhou today and went from the Tongyang Canal to Taizhou."

Although it is the report of Fan Jinchuan on the bright side, it is actually the report of Fang Fengsheng, but now the three words of Fang Fengsheng, even dacai dare not mention it.

"Also, there is news from Beijing Middle School. Your Highness should return to Beijing too."

"Tomorrow."

"That side..."

Zong Yue glared over, and De Cai immediately stopped talking.

After a while, Zong Yue said: "Let Zhao Zhuoyang stare, and when she dies she sends a letter to Jingli."

"Yes."

De Cai withdrew, and De Wang found a lead and secretly followed.

"You really tell Lao Zhao this way?"

"Otherwise how?"

"I think that your Highness is about righteousness. You have to tell the truth. When the woman whose name is Fang dies, you will talk again. I guess the person who talked about it is about death. You mustn't hurt Lao Zhao."

De Cai sneered: "You're worrying a lot."

"What's wrong with us, Your Highness? Beauty in the world, you can choose it, but it's better than the woman named Fang."

Seeing De Cai did not speak, De Wang also kicked him and asked him what happened, until he saw De Cai looking at the eyes behind him.

"Temple, palace, lord, minions, minions..."

"Ready horse."

The out-of-city docks in Yangzhou have developed water systems, and can be reached anywhere by water. Therefore, the local shipbuilding industry is extremely developed. From the morning to the evening, the dock has civilian ships and commercial ships.

There are also countless salt transport ships passing by this place, which can be called a grand scene.

Dewang followed him all the way in a sloppy ride, thinking that Zong Yueding was going to the pier. Who knew the pier was in front, but he tightened the reins and stopped.

The horses rang, attracting passers-by.

As soon as he saw the black horse, the man's face was cold and dignified, and he was afraid to look straight at it.

"go back!"

Zong Yue turned back, and the group of people behind could only turn around.

You say this toss again, what on earth are you doing?!But Dawwang dare not say this.

From Yangzhou to Taizhou, it can be reached directly through the'Tongyang Canal'.

The Tongyang Canal is also known as the Yunyan River. This Yanyan River runs through dozens of salt fields throughout Taizhou, bringing countless conveniences for the transportation of salt and even the transportation.

When it comes to salt transportation, three or four ships or five or six salt transportation ships are connected in series to form a small fleet of boats, which are gathered together and stretch for dozens of miles.The fleet traveled against the water from east to west. If the wind direction was uncomfortable, thousands of sails would exert their strength, and one after another.Or a team of trackers carrying fiber ropes, shouting trumpets to move forward.

It was also after such a trip that after watching this scene along the way, Fan Jinchuan and Fang Fengsheng had the most initial impression of the upcoming Taizhou.

The salt in the world comes out of Huainan, and Taizhou is the birthplace of southern salt.

Waiting for Taizhou City surprised the group again.

Not only is the Taizhou city not like a county, but it is more prosperous than the ordinary capital city, there are the water network spreading all over the city, the Thai dams built by connecting the moats to the nearby rivers, and the salt around the Thai dam Pu, and a large number of salt merchant ships.

However, all this has nothing to do with Fan Jinchuan. On the way to it, Fang Fengsheng briefly described the local situation in Taizhou with him.

Because Taizhou salt farms are all over, there are salt farm ambassadors in each salt farm, as well as the Taizhou Salt Affairs Branch, the Taiba Supervision Office, and the Inspection Office, etc. Salt Affairs has its own system, which is different from the local state and county government offices.

In other words, this is a place where there are more salt officers than magistrates.

When Fan Jinchuan and others arrived, they were greeted by people from the county government.

Hu Nanchun, a prestigious county, personally came forward, accompanied by other officials such as the county governor, master, and officials.

After a little rest, Hu Nanchun personally came to invite Fan Jinchuan to the banquet. Master Fang Fengsheng naturally accompanied him.

The seating area is very rich, and there are performers singing and dancing.

It seems that the feast here cannot be separated from singing and dancing. Fan Jinchuan is very disgusted with these. It is still Fang Fengsheng who pulls him again and again before he gathers the unhappy look and talks to the wine in Huzhi County.

After half a round of drinking, the scene was already hot. The county surnamed Liu twitched slightly. The girl who had held the pipa and sang a small song before went to Fan Jinchuan and Fang Fengsheng.

"No, no, nothing." Fan Jinchuan waved his hands again and again.

Feng Sheng smiled at Hu Zhixian, and then stabbed him with a folding fan, and said close: "Since it is a good intention in Huzhi County, adults accept it, but it is just drinking."

Fan Jinchuan looked at her with her eyes. She blinked at him, and he said nothing.

Hu Zhixian and Liuxian Cheng exchanged glances, and were even more diligent in persuading wine.

Fan Jinchuan is not good at wine, and has given Fang Fengsheng countless colors. Unfortunately, Feng Sheng's attention seems to be on the singer.The two sometimes talked and listened, and sometimes drank a glass of wine, having a great time.

"Brother Fang..."

Huzhi County Road: "Fanzhi County, the official respects you."

...

Just one cup after another, Fan Jinchuan was drunk.

Fang Fengsheng was no better than him, and his face was flushed. The showgirl was very responsible and did not persuade him to drink.

"Look, we just drink alcohol and forget about the business. Today we have to hand over Dayin. But Fanzhi County is okay, shall we go to the lobby?"

Liu Xiancheng interjected: "Why are you so troublesome, you are here, Master Fan is also here, and order people to bring Dayin."

"That's fine."

Not long after, someone came holding the big seal.

Hu Zhixian came to Fan Jinchuan with Da Yin in person. He seemed to have drunk a lot, his steps were floating, his face flushed.

"Come and come, Fan Zhixian, after receiving this seal, you will be the parent officer in charge of this place in the future. This officer can resign and go to other places. This is also fate, fate."

Fan Jinchuan looked at him dizzyingly and dimly, and then looked at the big seal again.

He reached for it, when one hand came in.

The fingers are slender, the bones are like jade, and a dark red bead hangs from the big sleeves.Lined with jade hands and green shirts, it is particularly eye-catching.

"and many more."

Fang Fengsheng still squeezed the glass in his hand and looked at it: "Huzhi County seems to be very anxious. Before handing over the Dayin, everything and everything must be understood. Don't hurry."

"The official is not in a hurry, but he intends to return to his hometown before going to his office to take office..."

"Master Fan is drunk today, and I will talk about it tomorrow, and tomorrow."

"This--"

Fang Fengsheng has stood up and helped Fan Jinchuan: "Adult is okay? I will help you to take a rest. Huzhi County can arrange for a rest place?"

"Of course arranged."

Hu Zhixian was embarrassed to hold the big seal in his hand, but he also ordered people to lead Fang Fengsheng and his party down.

After the two had left, he had a very bad complexion and swayed the two showgirls before going to the table and sitting down angrily.

"Adult, how can this be good? These two people don't seem to be so fool?" Liu Xiancheng asked with a smile.

"The surname Fan is a nerd, but the master of the surname Fang is difficult to tangle. I saw him who refused to refuse, and thought he was a wine-colored man. I didn't expect that the wine-colored stunned his head."

"that--"

"Enable the second set of methods."

The hot water pacifier sobered up the tea, and the two girls wanted to take off shoes for Fan Jinchuan, but he was swept away by him.

With a shouting cry in his mouth, Feng Sheng looked straight at him and wanted to laugh.

Waving back the two maids, she went to the bed and said, "Brother Zi Jin, are you really drunk? Then I'm gone?"

At this time, there was movement on the couch.

Fan Jinchuan sat up and saw that he was not drunk, but his wisdom was still clear.

"Brother Fang, what do you mean?"

"Don't Brother Fan see that Huzhi County is anxious to cross with you?"

"Then you go drinking with the showgirl?"

"If you don't follow the trend, how can you know their purpose?"

"You mean--"

"Since knowing their purpose, Brother Fan must be attentive when the market is due tomorrow. I haven't said anything. Don't take it hastily. As for the rest, it depends on what the hell they are doing. But let me see, probably Some old accounts are unclear, so those people try to get through the customs and want to put these accounts on your head. This is the old trick of these people. Generally, they have just been appointed as officials, and it is easy to catch their way. "

Fan Jinchuan nodded again and again, probably because he was drunk and his mind was clear, but he couldn't control his movements, and his nod was quite funny.

Fang Fengsheng smiled and planned to leave.

"Xiandi, don't panic!"

"What's the matter?"

"Brothers want to talk to you about your talents, even for the purpose of ascertaining them, you should not play with prostitutes. You must know the wine..."

"Xiaoqi, wait for your son to take a break, and I will go to rest too."

"Brother!"

The next day, the county government second hall.

Fan Jinchuan took Fang Fengsheng and others, while Hu Zhixian led six-room official officials.

They hold the big seal in their hands, and many books and accounts, which are recorded in all households in the government office of Taizhou County.Including the number of active officials, houses and money and horses, and even the prisoners in the prison, the bank and the balance of the grain storage, etc., a total of 31 items.

In fact, nothing else, the key is money.

On the eve of the county official's departure, he collected the taxes, grains, and taxes of the previous season in advance. The county official who had just arrived did not know that when the harvest came, he faced a situation where there was no silver and no food to collect.What should I do if there is nothing to turn in for the seasonal food class?You can only lie about the bad harvest, or fill it in yourself.

Because once Dayin is handed over, it means everything is clear, and there is no accountability afterwards.

Fan Jinchuan sat behind the big case.

He is the magistrate of the magistrate. This is his first official appearance in front of his subordinates.As for other matters, it can only be given to Fang Fengsheng.

Fortunately, Feng Sheng was well prepared. She seemed to be well versed in this. She took the account book, took them with Zhiqiu Yu, and went to Liufang's scholars to check. Fan Jinchuan was accompanied by Hu Zhixian to drink tea.

It took a whole day to check, and then checked other trivial matters. The next step was money and food. This thing can't be in a hurry, I can only wait for tomorrow.

The next day, Fang Fengsheng still led people to take stock, the amount of money in the bank can be matched with the account, there are some small errors, these are not so real.

Then there is the granary, in fact, silver is the only thing. Grain is the top priority. In addition to the granary in the county government, there is also the grain in Changping.This Chang Ping Cang is to store the grains intercepted by the local county government every season. When the valley is cheap, it increases its Jia Er, while Gu Gui Shi reduces the Jia Er. If it hits a disaster year, it can also be used for disaster relief. It is very important.

So not only Fang Fengsheng, but Fan Jinchuan was also very cautious.

Chang Pingcang was not in the county government office.

The bureaucrats who supervised Chang Pingcang saw the people coming and opened the barn, only to see that the bags were full of bags of grain.

Seeing this, Fan Jinchuan smiled.

Hu Zhixian said: "Fanzhi County is relieved now, Master Fang has so much food, I am afraid that few of you can't count it, I'll ask some people to help you."

"Then thank Master Liu."

It is still a boring count. Fan Jinchuan in the count also let people open the grain bag to see, it is indeed the grain that has not been shelled.Seeing this, he was relieved and glanced at Fang Fengsheng.

Fang Fengsheng gave him a slightly restless look and continued to count.

After counting bag after bag of grain, put it back in place.

At half-point, Feng Sheng winked at Uncle Yu, and Uncle Yu took a sharp iron and stepped forward.

Everyone was curious about what he wanted to do, and he saw him pierce the grain bag quickly and accurately.When the tip of the iron was digged in, some grains slipped out of the bag. The iron seems to be specially made, but the food slipped out but was blocked by the tail of the iron, so that it would not leak out.

Huzhi County's face suddenly turned white.

Feng Sheng stepped forward and gave a glance, called Fan Jinchuan: "Sir, come and see."

Fan Jinchuan went to see and saw that the thing that slipped out was not grain but sand.
