Xu Jin found Zhao Huang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and asked to send someone to help renovate the Marquis of Wuding's mansion for the cultivation of Princess Yongfu, Zhao Shangshu was also very happy, he wanted technicians, giving, workers, and giving, but he wanted building materials, sorry, you have to buy silver, and Xu Jin himself was responsible for the wages of technicians and workers, as for whether Xu Jin applied for a budget from the Ministry of Households, or asked for money from the emperor's inner treasury, he didn't care.

Although Jiajing promised to pay out of his own pocket, Xu Jin still decided to find Qin Jin, the head of the household department, to fight the autumn wind, but Qin Jin is a well-known iron rooster, although he is good friends with Xu Jin, but it is difficult to let him pay for the silver!

Xu Jin said that Qin Jin just refused to approve it, and in the end Xu Jin had no choice but to use his trump card, saying that in the future, the repayment of Zhixin Meizi will not go into the treasury, but directly into the emperor's private purse, you must know that Zhixin Meizi still owes Daming five million taels of silver.

If someone else said this, Qin Jin promised to scoff at it, but who was Xu Jin? More than 10 million taels of silver were transported back from the Wa Kingdom twice, plus the time in Nanyang, the difference was not more than 20 million taels, which was equivalent to several years of income from the previous treasury, and he deserved to be the God of Wealth.

The iron rooster Qin Shangshu weighed for a moment, obviously feeling that it was not cost-effective to offend Xu Da Caishen, so with a stroke of the pen, he approved Xu Jin for five thousand taels of silver!

Xu Jin couldn't help but be speechless, the silver he transported back from the Wa Kingdom twice was tens of millions of taels, and you were embarrassed to approve five thousand taels of silver? However, looking at Qin Jin's pain-like expression, Xu Jin knew that it was impossible to pay more silver for this iron rooster, so he could only give up, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was meat, and five thousand taels would be five thousand taels!

The first batch of project funds arrived, so the renovation project of the Marquis of Wuding Mansion was in full swing, and the documents of Jiajing appointing Xu Jin to receive the Tatar envoy were also sent to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin received the paperwork, and did not meet immediately, still went to the construction site every day, he had to dry the Tatar envoys for ten days and eight days, and then frustrate their arrogance, anyway, they were the ones who asked for help, and the initiative was also in the hands of Da Ming.

In a blink of an eye, it was late October of the fifth year of Jiajing, the weather was getting colder and colder, and Xu Jin had dried the Tatars for almost half a month, which was ruthless enough!

On October 22, Xu Jin changed into official clothes and took Zhao Datou and other personal guards to Honglu Temple, and he planned to meet the Tatar envoy today-Chilu Buhua.

Grandpa Yasukuni is coming, Xie Siwei, the secretary of Honglu Temple, who received the notice, and Song Fangxing, the young secretary, were waiting there early in the morning and went out to greet them in person.

Since the last time Jiajing knocked on the first assistant Jin Xianmin in the early court, the court officials have understood that although Xu Jin, the Duke of Yasukuni, has retreated to the second line, he is still in the emperor's heart, and he may be used at any time, which is really not to be taken lightly.

"Xia Guan has seen Grandpa Yasukuni." Xie Siwei and Song Fangxing respectfully saluted Xu Jin.

Xu Jin didn't talk nonsense, nodded and said, "Where is the Tatar envoy now?" ”

Song Fangxing hurriedly said: "According to the instructions of Grandpa Yasukuni, the lower officials placed them in the western stable with the worst conditions. ”

Xu Jin frowned and said, "West Stable? Stables? ”

Xie Siwei's face trembled, he didn't kill people too much, the Tatar envoy was also unlucky when he met this Yasukuni duke, and he suffered for half a month!

Song Fangxing smiled dryly: "It's not a stable, but it's a stable nearby." ”

Xu Jin nodded and said, "Good job, let's go, take my father-in-law to the West Stable to have a look." ”

Xie Siwei coughed lightly and said: "If the Duke of Yasukuni wants to meet the envoys, he should be in the lobby of the Sifang Pavilion, why bother to condescend and go to the West Stable in person." ”

Xu Jin waved his hand and said solemnly: "It's okay, the residence of this official and the prince in person shows his sincerity and shows the demeanor of my Ming Dynasty etiquette." ”

Xie Siwei and Song Fangxing almost fell headlong and hung out for half a month, Grandpa Guo, are you embarrassed to say sincerity and demeanor? However, the big ass has the final say, and if Grandpa Yasukuni says that sincerity is sincerity, and if he says that he is demeanor, he is demeanor.

"Then please come with the officials!" Song Fangxing said with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Jin went to the West Stable, accompanied by Xie Siwei and Song Fangxing.

Daming has a good face, and Honglu Temple is a place to receive foreign guests, representing the face of the country, so the buildings here are extremely gorgeous in terms of appearance and decoration, bright and decent, and covers a wide area.

Of course, there are also sloppy and simple places in the Honglu Temple, that is, the West Stable, which is usually the place where the miscellaneous servants live, and this time due to Xu Jin's care, Song Fangxing specially placed the Tatar envoys in the West Stable.

When Xu Jin just stepped into the range of the West Stable, he immediately smelled a stench, because the nearby stable, is a place for foreign guests to store horses and livestock, Honglu Temple's own horses and livestock are also raised here, hundreds of animals eat and drink Lazar, the taste is not heavy, it is strange.

Xie Siwei subconsciously covered his nose with his sleeve, he wanted to turn around and leave, but Xu Jin was here, and he, the chief of Honglu Temple, dared to be the shopkeeper.

Song Fangxing laughed dryly and said: "Grandpa Yasukuni, please see, this is the West Stable, and the lower official will go to inform the Tatar envoy Chilu Buhua to come out to greet him." ”

"No need!" Xu Jin waved his hand, he didn't have a masochistic tendency, the reason why he came here was just to confirm whether Song Fangxing had done what he wanted.

But just as Xu Jin was about to leave, there was a sudden scream in the west stable, and then he saw two small officials fleeing with their heads in their arms, and there were four strong Tartars holding wooden sticks behind them, and the two little officials fell to the ground in a panic, and the four Tartars caught up and raised the sticks to beat the two little officials and were beaten screaming again and again, and the blood flowed instantly.

Xu Jin's face sank, and he shouted: "Zhao Datou, take them!" ”

Zhao Datou and the others have long been so angry that they are smoking, how can it be reasonable, the Tartars dare to be so arrogant in our Ming land, fuck him!

Zhao Datou led seven or eight brothers to rush forward quickly, like a fierce tiger down the mountain, they are all experienced in a hundred battles of the Shenji battalion soldiers, although they did not carry a flintlock pistol, but a close combat ability is excellent, after a while the four Tartars were beaten to the ground, and tied up with a lot of flowers.

At this moment, several roars suddenly came out of the west stable, and more tartars rushed out, Zhao Datou laughed fiercely, and pulled out his swaying waist knife, and the other brothers also immediately drew their knives when they saw this, and the murderous aura like a hand suddenly spread.

The Tatars, as the visiting envoys, had already handed in their weapons when they entered the country, and when they saw Zhao Datou and the others draw their swords, they were still violent, and they stood still at a distance, pointing here and cursing in Tatar language.

Xu Jin raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Take them all." ”

Zhao Datou and the others immediately rushed forward with knives again, and those Tartars who kept cursing were so frightened that they scattered and fled, and a few who ran slowly were cut to the ground on the spot, but Zhao Datou and they didn't kill them, they used the back of their knives.

At this moment, a bearded Tartar ran out in a rage and shouted, "Pig's hand, pig's hand!" ”

Song Fangxing hurriedly whispered: "Jingguo Gong, this person is the Tatar envoy Chilu Buhua, and the Da Ming language is not very accurate!" ”

Zhao Datou held a dangling waist knife in his hand, trampled a tartar under his feet, and looked at Chilu Buhua for a long time, and said with a smile: "Do you want braised pork knuckles, or braised pig trotters?" With that, he pressed the tip of his knife against the back of the Tartar's hand.

Chilu said angrily: "Lord Xie, Lord Song, this is your hospitality?" ”

Xie Siwei frowned and remained silent, but Song Fangxing scolded him very respectfully: "Presumptuous, little envoy, An dares to shout in front of the Duke of Yasukuni." ”

Chilu Buhua couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked Xu Jin up and down, daring to love this little white face like cream was actually a prince of the country, but Chilu Buhua's face soon changed, because he suddenly thought of someone, arched his hand and said, "Your Excellency is Xu Jin?" ”

"Presumptuous, dare to call the name of the Duke of Yasukuni!"

This time, Xie Siwei and Song Fangxing almost scolded in unison.

The arrogance on Chilu Buhua's face disappeared in an instant, and he stroked his chest and said: "It turned out to be Lord Yasukuni Gongxu, who has admired the name for a long time, and under Chilu Buhua, he is disrespectful and disrespectful!" ”

Although the Tatars looked down on the Ming Dynasty and the Ming army, they still did not dare to underestimate Xu Jin who defeated Alta, the Tatars advocated force, and whoever defeated them, they still admitted it!

Xu Jin ignored Chi Lu Buhua, and ordered someone to bring the two little officials who were being chased and beaten, and said lightly: "Why are they chasing and beating you two?" ”

The two little officials looked at each other weakly, and cried loudly: "The little ones are just kind enough to send them food, but instead of appreciating it, they actually said that the food was not good, and they also injured us, please ask the grandfather to be the master of the little ones!" ”

Chilu said with angry eyes: "You cheated on the silver, the food you sent was not good, they were all rancid, and the dogs didn't eat it!" ”

It turned out that Song Fangxing, according to Xu Jin's instructions, arranged for the Tatars to live in the stinky west stable, and did not provide food, so the Tatars had to pay money to buy it from the officials of Honglu Temple.

These slippery little officials are the masters who take advantage of the advantage, not to mention that the Tatars are clearly going to be rectified, so they are even more unscrupulous, black the Tatars' silver, but the food sent is very simple, and expensive and unpalatable, today simply got some overnight meals and sent them, the Tartars suffered for half a month, and today finally broke out, chasing the two little officials all the way.

Xu Jin knew it was true when he saw the weak hearts of the two little officials, but he just wanted to frustrate the arrogance of the Tatars, so he asked lightly: "Chilu doesn't spend, how much silver did you give them?" ”

Chilu said angrily: "It's five taels of silver!" ”

Five taels of silver is enough to make a few tables of wine and food in Daming, and it is no problem for thirty or forty people to eat, but the Tatar mission is only about twenty people.

Xu Jin said seriously: "Five taels of silver, the meals of more than 20 people, can only be eaten rancid." ”

The two little officials were stunned for a moment, and then they were overjoyed, and said loudly: "That's right, the meal for twenty-five people is only five taels of silver, what can you eat except for the rancid overnight dinner?" ”

Xu Jin flicked his sleeves, stared at Chilu and shouted majestically: "You are unreasonable, you hurt people in my Ming place, and the wicked people sue first, thinking that I have no one in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Chilu Buhua's face was flushed, trembling and speechless, angry!

Xie Siwei and Song Fangxing were dumbfounded, and finally saw the shamelessness of our Yasukuni grandfather...... No, it's wise!
