The fire in July, the hot June passed, and the weather became cooler day by day. These days, Du Zhongxiao mostly stays in the military city, dealing with the backlog of government affairs over the years, and straightening out political affairs. The previous governors were all military generals, and there were several illiterate ones, and the political affairs were careless, leaving many hidden dangers, and even the household registration was not clear. It took Du Zhongxiao nearly a month to sort out all kinds of account books and cases.

The people of the Volcano Army are only 3,000 people, and in the previous life, it was a larger village, how many things could it do? The difficult place is nothing more than the border land, there are archers, village soldiers, ordinary people, Han people, and Tibetan people, and the entries are messy.

In the south of the city, Dong Lin looked at the military city not far in front of him, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "The sky is pitiful, I have been running for dozens of days, but I can be regarded as coming back safely!" If there is a mistake along the way, what is my life, I am afraid that my family will suffer! ”

After speaking, he said to the dozens of porters behind him: "There is a military city in front, you guys work hard, transport the goods into the city, I invite you to drink wine and eat meat!" Although it is a remote place, there is good wine and good mutton! ”

A porter wiped his sweat and said: "Trafficking so many goods outside the staff, this time it will definitely make a lot of money, and the little old man will also make a lot of money." ”

All the porters laughed and flattered Dong Lin, and the atmosphere was much more lively.

Dong Lin shook his head again and again, he couldn't say anything about his suffering, but he just asked everyone to rest and hurry up. This time I went to Bingzhou, I borrowed the camels of Feng Yuan's caravan to transport goods, but I didn't expect Dong Lin to finish the matter and change the money out, Feng Yuan was still doing business there, and I don't know what year and month he left. Du Zhongxiao has a time limit, and if he exceeds the time limit, he will be punished, where can Dong Lin wait? I had to hire dozens of porters to bring back the iron money I had exchanged for back to the Volcano Army. He didn't dare to tell the porter that the goods were money, so he was frightened along the way, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and many lucks came back safely.

After entering the military city, Dong Lin took the porter to the yamen of the military city, and the guards recognized it and hurriedly went to report to Du Zhongxiao.

instructed Dong Lin to take people to pick up the money to the military treasury, and Du Zhongxiao hurried over.

Dong Lin saw Du Zhongxiao coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Rely on the blessing of the officials, the little one will return safely!" There were no soldiers to protect him along the way, only a small one and a few errand soldiers, with thousands of dollars, and I don't know how much I was frightened! Fortunately, the ancestors have spirits, and there are no dangers! ”

Du Zhongxiao's kind words comforted, knowing that his hard work will be rewarded later. In fact, Dong Lin and his party of dozens of people brought iron money of low value, where are there blinding robbers to rob them. However, as soon as a word of money is touched, people are extra careful, and Dong Lin is just scaring himself.

Walking forward, Du Zhongxiao instructed the official to open the bamboo basket placed on the ground, but it was wheat in his eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Dong Lin hurriedly stepped forward, peeled off the wheat grains on it, revealed the iron money below, and said, "The little one is afraid that someone will see the money, so he bought some wheat and covered it." This is the case in these baskets, and the officials can count and understand. ”

Du Zhongxiao instructed the Confucian officer, together with Dong Lin, to take out the iron money in the basket, count it on the side, and make an account into the military treasury.

This time, the iron money transported to the Volcanic Army was only more than 7,000 yuan, and the freight cost was hundreds of yuan, and the loss was extremely amazing. Watching Kong Muguan settle the wages with the porter, Dong Lin watched from the side and was worried. He is the front of the government, and the escort officials are errand servants, and these freight losses can be counted on his own head. Du Zhongxiao can exchange the amount of money for the goods settled in the state, and Dong Lin will make up for the shortfall. The reason why Yaqian was a heavy service was that it needed to be filled by a person with family property, which was for this purpose.

Seeing Dong Lin's face, Du Zhongxiao knew it and said to him: "You do things for the yamen, and the expenses should naturally be out of the yamen." Don't worry, you handled this matter very well, and I have my own reward. By the way, the wheat was taken to the Minister's Treasury and is now being used. ”

Dong Lin breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Du Zhongxiao for his kindness. He handed over the official documents and left with the porter. He is one of the big families in the military city, with hundreds of family properties, and he said earlier that he asked the porter to drink, and he couldn't break his word.

Seeing Dong Lin beckoning a group of porters, Du Zhongxiao called over and asked, and said with a smile: "How can there be any reason for you to spend money to do things for the yamen?" Qian Kongmu paid some money from the minister's treasury, took Dong Lin with him, and went to the front restaurant to have some wine and dinner. ”

Qian Kongmu sang a promise with his hand, and together with Dong Lin, he took dozens of porters out of the yamen.

Cheng Wenli, who came over, saw everyone leaving, and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Official, in order to transport this money, it took hundreds of yuan, how to explain?" In the usual season, it was transported by the box army, and the yamen supported some grain and rice. If it is up to the yamen and the hired porter, it is because he is ineffective in doing things, and he should pay for it himself. ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "This time, the state received our goods and sent the money in time, which is extremely rare, how can they send the box army again?" How many large families are there in such a small place as the Volcano Army? Let this government pay this freight, and it will inevitably go bankrupt. I have a plan for this, so I should make up the money from him. In addition, he brought a lot of wheat grains, which can be offset by the recent surge in the price of noodles in the city. ”

There are also one or two thousand catties of wheat picked by dozens of people. These days, it is popular to eat pasta in the military city, the price of wheat has skyrocketed several times, and the money earned by wheat is also dozens of times, which is enough for these people to eat and drink on the way back.

Qian Kongmu took Dong Lin and the others to Jiuqu Pavilion and said to him: "Festival level, fortunately, you know that the officers are kind-hearted, otherwise you will be afraid that your family business will be difficult to protect if you come down this time." Drink hard today, don't get drunk and don't return! ”

Dong Lin saluted again and again: "What Confucius said is that the kindness of officials is not forgotten by the little ones!" ”

The two entered the restaurant as they spoke. A group of porters are coolies, where have they ever entered this kind of restaurant? They all waited at the door, and did not dare to enter the door. Qian Kongmu just thought he couldn't see it, and went to the counter with Dong Linjing.

Yaqian Zhou Xintian's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Qian Kongmu coming, he hurriedly greeted him and saluted.

Qian Kongmu pointed at Dong Lin and said: "I did an errand in Bingzhou at the festival level, it was really hard, you prepared a table of wine and food to invite him." A few of you who are familiar with him will be called together as a celebration for him. and the accounts shall be recorded with me. ”

Zhou Xintian said yes again and again. This restaurant was originally under the minister's treasury, that is, Du Zhongxiao required the accounts to be clear, otherwise where would Qian Kongmu use the money here? The daily hospitality of the yamen was originally here.

Qian Kongmu said again: "There are dozens of porters outside, who are working for the yamen, and the officials instructed them to use some wine and rice." Here you give each of them a small bowl of white wine and a large bowl of noodles, and remember to have a few slices of meat in each bowl. - By the way, one more cookcake per person, be sure to eat enough! ”

Zhou Xintian nodded again and again and wrote them down one by one. Qian Kongmu deliberately emphasized the word full at the back, the meaning is very clear, it is impossible for so many people to eat well, as long as they ensure that they are full, they can make a difference.

After the order, Qian Kongmu said: "You prepare wine and food here first, I still have some things to do when I go back to the yamen, and I will come over in half an hour." ”

Sending Qian Kongmu away with Dong Lin, Zhou Xintian said: "What errand did my brother do this time?" I only heard that I went to Bingzhou once, why did I still work Kong Mu to come over and arrange a reception banquet for you? This is not a common occurrence. ”

Dong Lin said with emotion: "Brother, you don't have to mention it, as long as you know that I am nine deaths." With this opportunity, a few of our brothers who were on an errand in the yamen called all of us, and we got drunk today! ”

Qian Kongmu came half an hour later, and made his attitude clear, and the grade of eating and drinking at public funds this time was not low.
