"How's it going?"

Yuelai Inn, in the small courtyard where Dong Ce and others live-

It was early in the morning, Dong Ce paced down from upstairs and asked Wang Daodao, who was following him.

"It's still like that, just like yesterday." Wang Tong showed a wry smile: "I got up early this morning, and after washing and cleaning up, I sat on the chair, and I didn't cry or make trouble, just sitting, like a clay sculpture and wood carving, and it made people panic when I looked at it." But fortunately, he has already started to eat today, and he has eaten some millet porridge and hot buns. After eating, he said that it was not enough, and his subordinates asked him for some more. ”

"Hmm." Dong Ce nodded, and he had a foundation in his heart.

Ji Changyun's style doesn't look like he's bent on dying, thinking about it, now that I've basically figured it out, I think it's better to be alive, or if there are other reasons. If you can eat, it means that you can't die, and you don't want to die. As for his current silence, it can be roughly understood as confusion about the future.

After this period of sinking, presumably his heart has also changed a lot, and it is no longer the same as in the past.

As he was talking, a family member came to report: "Zhang Mazi is here." ”

Dong Ce was overjoyed and said, "Please ask him to meet upstairs." ”

He used this word to invite, and his subordinates naturally attached importance to it, and invited Zhang Mazi very respectfully.

Dong Ce's room.

After Zhang Mazi entered the door, he hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and before he could bend his knees, he was helped up by Dong Ce: "Why be polite, why be polite." ”

Dong Ce straightened Zhang Mazi, pressed him to the side of the chair and sat down, and said with a smile: "I don't have so many rules here, when I come in the future, don't be restrained, just be comfortable." ”

He said so, but how dare Zhang Mazi take it seriously? Hurriedly responded with a smile, and sat next to each other on the edge of the chair, although he knew that Dong Ce was also doing superficial work, but his heart was warm, and he was very close to Dong Ce. Even if it's superficial work - but in the face of small people like them, how many people don't even bother to do superficial work.

"It was Liu Sanye who sent the little one over." Zhang Mazi said: "Today is the date agreed with the adults, but there is a sudden emergency in the yamen, and the third master is not worth it, so he pulled it back." ”

Dong Ce asked casually, "Do you know what's important?" ”

"It seems that the Fan family's convoy is going out of the city." Zhang Mazi thought for a while and said: "The third master and other officials and the strong squad will be called to dredge the streets and maintain order, so as not to be blocked in the city and unable to get out of the city for a long time, that is a sin." ”

"The Fan family's caravan?" Dong Ce nodded with a smile, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

He stopped mentioning this stubble, and instead asked, "What happened to the acquisition of private coinage?" ”

"That's what I want to say to adults." Zhang Mazi said: "The adults are going to buy a total of five hundred taels of silver for private coinage, these days, the villain waits for a job, contacts Yazi everywhere in the city, and goes around to inquire about the news, and by last night, the copper coins have been exchanged." "Five hundred taels of silver, a total of six hundred and seventy-five yuan." When he said this, Zhang Mazi was a little nervous, and peeked at Dong Ce.

One tael of silver was exchanged for Wu Baiwu Chongzhen's horse money, and it was exchanged for 1,500 private coins, and it stands to reason that 500 taels of silver should be exchanged for 750,000 copper coins, that is, 750 hangs. But now there are only six hundred and seventy-five hangings, so what about the rest of them? Naturally, they were all eaten by Liu San'er, Zhang Mazi and other Chinese people.

But Dong Ce doesn't care about this. Where can the intermediary fee be reduced? After all, people rely on this to work, and this is how people live. And there is a penny of silver in these two pieces of silver, which he has already allowed Liu San'er.

"That's the number, just right." Dong Ce waved his hand and said, "As for the rest, you don't have to think about it, you have already allowed Liu San's tap." ”

The meaning of his words was to relax Mazi's heart and save him from anxiety. The second meaning is - I know what you do, don't think I'm easy to deceive, I don't break it, I just don't want to break it. In this way, it also saves others from thinking that it is easy to deceive.

Zhang Mazi also understood what he meant, his demeanor was more respectful, he took out a money bag and handed it to Dong Ce: "I'm afraid that the sum of those silver coins can't be as much as four or five thousand catties, not to mention a villain, I'm afraid it can only be pulled by ten ox carts." The little one took some of the money and showed it to the adults, and almost all of the money looked like this. ”

Dong Ce raised his eyebrows, this is probably a random sample.

Dong Ce opened the money bag, reached in and grabbed a handful, spread it in the palm of his hand and looked at it carefully. There are five copper coins in the palm of the hand, three green and two yellow, two of which are the same as the one he got from the hand of the innkeeper outside the city from Yang and the city, with a round square hole, and a 'one' word written above the perforation, and a 'Wen' word written below the perforation, representing a penny. And the back is bare, nothing.

The other three pieces are of different shapes. There is one that even has the words Chongzhen Tongbao written, but the font is weak and weak, and the casting is much rougher than the ordinary Chongzhen horse money, which is obviously a forgery. But to be honest, in this era, it can be built to this extent.

Soon, Dong Ce took a look at the money in the general white bag.

There are about 1,000 copper coins in the bag, that is, a hanging, which weighs about ten catties, and it is also a heavy bag. These copper coins are all round square holes, the shape and specifications are slightly different, and the text on them is very different, but the overall size, thickness and thickness are no difference. Overall, there is no difference with the penny that Dong Ce took as a sample. The average weight is about three cents of a penny, that is, about five grams, the edge is smooth, quite thick, there is a heavy texture, in the composition of money, copper should be able to account for about sixty percent of the share.

This made Dong Ce very satisfied.

There is no shoddy bad money, small money, or thin money in it, which shows that Zhang Mazi and others are indeed attentive.

Dong Ce took out a small ingot of five taels of silver from his arms, put it on the table on his right hand, and said with a smile: "I'm tired, take this and drink some tea with my brothers." ”

"My lord, this ......" Zhang Mazi hurriedly excused himself.

"Hey...... Let you take it, and you will take it. Dong Ce waved his hand and said: "It should be your tap, that is your rule, and you deserve it." But now this money is the will of so-and-so, and so-and-so is to reward you for doing things with your heart. ”

When he said this, Zhang Mazi couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to accept it, and he was even more grateful that Dong Ce was different from others. This adult always makes people's hearts warm when he does things for others.

Dong Ce was in a good mood and said to Zhang Mazi, tomorrow outside the south gate, Zhang Mazi hired ten ox carts to wait, Dong Ce and others went over and escorted the ox carts to Panshi Fort. Dong Ce was going to give him the silver as the cost of hiring an ox cart, but he didn't expect Zhang Mazi to live or die, patted his chest and said that we have the face in the city, and we still need to spend money to hire a car?

Dong Ce was in a very good mood, and when Zhang Mazi said goodbye and left, he also sent it to the location of the staircase.

sent Zhang Mazi away, and was about to go back to the room, but saw a shopkeeper walking behind Dong Yongzhen, Dong Yongzhen saluted and said, "My lord, this shopkeeper said that he had something to say to you." ”

The shopkeeper nodded from afar, first saluted Dong Ce, said good morning, and then said with a smile: "Big official, the shopkeeper asked the little one to come and tell you, there is a person kneeling outside the store now, and he only said that he wants to see you!" ”

"There's a guy kneeling outside the store?"

Dong Ce was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

"We don't know what's going on." The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "Early this morning, as soon as I got off the door panel, I saw that guy kneeling outside, until now, I asked him not to say anything, only to make amends to the adults, and to see you." ”

"Oh......" Dong Ce thought of a person and asked, "What does that person look like?" ”

"What a fat man." Xiao Er gestured: "I'm afraid that I can't grow up to seven feet, with a black face, similar to the bottom of the pot, with a big beard on my face, each of which looks like a steel needle, and I don't know if I have committed a crime?" ”

This little second is a broken mouth, and it is endless, but Dong Ce interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "In this way, I bother you to go back and tell the lady of the Du family, let him kneel outside the door." Don't bother with it, if you block the business of the store, the official will pay you according to the compensation. ”

"Hey, look at what you said."

The little second hurriedly said: "When you say this, you will see the outside, what kind of business can the black guy block?" With him here, there are more people who look strange, and business is better. ”

Dong Ce smiled: "That's good, that's good." ”

The time of the day passed quickly, and it seemed that in the blink of an eye, it was the beginning of the lights.

Dong Ce is leaving Yanghe City tomorrow, there are enough days of delay in this city, and now that the New Year is approaching, it is time to go back.

In the morning, when Hou Fangyu came to harass Du Shi Niang as always, he invited Hou Fangyu to a banquet and asked Hou Fangyu about his plans. Hou Fangyu didn't plan to go back to the capital, and now it was too late to go back, and when he was afraid that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had passed, he simply stayed in Yanghe City, saying that he planned to feel the flavor of the New Year in northern Jin. Wait until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and then leave and return to the hometown of Defu to worship the ancestors, and then return to the capital.

Hearing this, Dong Ce was a little reluctant. There is no doubt that Hou Fangyu is a very qualified and caring friend. Hou Fangyu saw his thoughts, and laughed: "Brother Hanchen, it seems that he is still very concerned about his younger brother. Don't worry, before you go, you will have to slander a few more wild belly, you have to be careful. After hearing this, Dong Ce immediately couldn't cry or laugh, and said in his heart that this kid is really not serious. However, this atmosphere is very harmonious, the two talk about the world, but they don't talk about business, they think of where to talk, drink and have fun, and delicacies, but they are leisurely tight.
