Chapter five hundred and forty-eight: a surefire way

Zhu Youjian then took a breath and it was fine if the food was still there.

It was a lengthy convoy loaded with cargo.

Zhu Youjian tried to get off the mule and horse, and the driver said, "I'm going to the capital soon. You should be in Beijing too, right? I see you are weak, so I might as well take you for a ride."

The thick black man grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, but he looked simple and friendly.

Zhu Youjian thought about it and nodded. The bumpy road made him feel that his bones were about to fall apart.

So I couldn't help asking: "Where did you come from?"

"Nanjing."

"Nanjing..." When Zhu Youjian heard about Nanjing, he felt very friendly.

Where is the tomb of Emperor Taizu Gao? This Nanzhili is the place where dragons rise.

So he asked again: "What kind of business are you doing?"

"A big deal." The coachman saw that he was a little behind, and urged the mule and horse to go quickly.

Zhu Youjian smiled bitterly.

The coachman said, "Actually, I don't know what kind of business it is. I am just a big cart driver who came from Nanjing and then went to Beijing. But the company that accompanied us told us to be cautious in our words and actions, saying that we need rules, that is, they took me here because they saw that I was honest."

Zhu Youjian glanced at the coachman and was really an honest man.

Then, Zhu Youjian saw that the cargo wrapped in the felt cloth seemed very heavy. There were more than a dozen large trucks, and the wheels ran over the official road. There were immediately two very deep wheel marks on the official road, which showed that the cargo was heavy.

So Zhu Youjian said, "Did you transport porcelain?"

"Porcelain?" The man shook his head: "Porcelain is not worth much. Our manager said that porcelain is nothing."

These words shocked Zhu Youjian. Porcelain is not worth much? What is the luck?

The coachman said, "I said it, these are all extremely valuable things..."

As he said that, he lowered his voice: "It was sent to Beijing to respect the charcoal for the men. Haven't you seen that it is coming in winter? As soon as the winter begins, the men always have to burn charcoal, right? You can't freeze them."

This coachman looked serious and worried about the people in the capital. He seemed to only understand the literal meaning of Carbon Jing.

Zhu Youjian now understands some things. When he heard this, he immediately understood it and frowned and said, "Do you still need to transport it from Nanjing?"

"It's very valuable, and I also said... I have to give it more this year. This is just here in Nanjing, and from Jiangsu and Zhejiang... it's even more heavy. Anyway, it's all about the manager. He talks, saying that it's going to double this year, and says that something happened..."

Zhu Youjian said curiously: "What happened?"

"It's unknown. I just listen to the officials in charge of the court and harming the people. The officials in Nanjing are asking for their orders for the people..."

Zhu Youjian was confused.

When they entered the city, other chariots and horses needed to be checked. The sects were all fierce and even stopped some chariots and horses, making the things inside mess up.

Although there were many cars in this convoy, the Ding wanted to step forward, and a person in charge looked forward easily and whispered a few words to the other party. The Ding laughed, bowed to him, then retreated, and let him go directly, without checking the accompanying personnel and goods.

At this time, Zhu Youjian was tired and hungry, and fell asleep again. When he got up again, he found that he seemed to be in the Chaiyuan in a mansion.

There are many people here who are busy loading and unloading goods.

Zhu Youjian got off the mule and horse, and the coachman said, "It's not easy to make noise about you just now. We're here. I've been asking for love with the manager. You're here to rest here. Are you hungry?"

Zhu Youjian looked around and saw that... the courtyard wall is very high, obviously it is a place where wealth or honor, but one corner of the courtyard wall is dirty. Obviously, this is where the people stay.

However, there should be a warehouse not far away, and the unloaded goods were moved to the warehouse by manpower.

After a while, the manager of the owner of the mansion came with a few servants. They were lanterns with the words "Li Mansion" written on them.

The manager and the head of the convoy were connected, but the two had no hurdles. They seemed to have known each other for a long time, and they bowed and laughed.

The manager of the Li family said: "Thank you, thank you. It's such a long way, I'll have to trouble you to walk around yourself."

The head of the convoy said, "This is what I deserve. My master has always admired Mr. Li. Mr. Li lives in the temple, but he cares about the people. Over the years, he has talked a lot for millions of creatures in our Jiangnan. Therefore, although the master is in Nanjing, he is thinking of Mr. Li every day. This time... he has collected some things and asked Mr. Li not to dislike him."

The manager of the Li family laughed and said, "It's easy to say, it's easy to say. My master has always been concerned about Jiangnan and cares about the people. Come on, let's go and have a lot of work here. Let's go to the small hall to have a tea."

The head of the matter said, "You're welcome."

They gave in for a while and then left in a hurry.

And here continues to be busy.

Zhu Youjian only thought this place was strange and just wanted to go out quickly at this time.

However, he was a little curious and asked the coachman: "Isn't this... a gift? What's the matter... it seems..."

The coachman hurriedly said, "Shh, whisper, it's Carbon Jing, don't talk nonsense."

Zhu Youjian asked: "You used to come to the capital often... to give gifts?"

"I don't come often. This is a fat man, but I did it six or seven years ago. But... I didn't send it to the capital. This master is an official in the capital. Who will send it to the capital? They all go to his hometown to send it to the capital!"

"But I heard that it's different now. Now the masters are said to be from Beizhili, and their families are in the capital, so they can't... So now everyone is not as generous as before. Most of them have to cover up. This is at the foot of the emperor."

Zhu Youjian did not continue to ask, but said, "Where is my burden?"

The coachman went to search and handed it over to Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian bowed to him and said, "There will be a date later, thank you."

The coachman said: "You are leaving?"

"Yes, I have something urgent to do."

"It's dark this day. If you go out, will you have a place to rest?"

"some."

The coachman thought about it, touched a few copper coins from his body, stuffed them to Zhu Youjian, and then said, "Don't pretend in front of me. Your clothes and appearance are obviously difficult, otherwise how could you fall on the side of the road? People outside will encounter difficulties. I am not a person with great ability. Fortunately, I have enough fuel for this trip. Don't dislike these more than 30 yuan. You can spend it in two petals, and you can always last for a few days."

Of course, Zhu Youjian refused to ask for it.

The coachman tried his best to give it to him. The two of them were rubbing for a while. When Zhu Youjian saw that many people looked at this corner, he still collected the money. He couldn't help but turn red in his eyes and nodded at him and said, "I'm going."

As he said that, he was about to leave with his luggage.

I just left here, and there was a Moon Cave in front of me.

Unexpectedly, the manager of the Li family brought back with Renzhe. When he saw someone coming out from here, he looked carefully at the moonlight and saw that it was a down-and-out man. He was furious and stepped forward and raised his hand to slap Zhu Youjian in the face, shouting: "Bold, is this something you can go in and out? Dog-like things, go in and out, and walk through your dog door."

Zhu Youjian almost fainted with a slap.

He was extremely embarrassed and angry for a moment, and the manager of the Li family continued to curse: "The dog thing that is unruly..."

There was a servant who kindly told Zhu Youjian to walk to the other end. It turned out that there were two doors in front and back. One end was the side hall leading to the Li family, and the other end was the external one. The so-called dog door was actually a small door, which was the place where the servants entered and left.

Zhu Youjian stumbled and was in a very embarrassing state.

On the other hand, the manager of the Li family hurriedly came here to get an account, and then hurried to the Li family's central hall.

It was dawn, and some lights were lit inside and outside the Li family, and the manager smiled and gave the account to the owner of the residence Li Guo.

Li Guo was dressed properly. He was a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and had to go to the cabinet to work at three o'clock.

Li Guo did not look at the accounts, but just said lightly: "Just just record the accounts, don't show them to me..."

The manager said respectfully: "Yes."

Li Guo immediately set off and left the middle gate, while the manager carefully accompanied him and sent him to the middle gate. At this time, there was a sedan chair waiting here.

This sedan is not an eight-carrying sedan, but an ordinary sedan. Li Guoli is very simple and does not prefer extravagance and waste, which is well-known.

At this time, he slowly sat in the sedan chair, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "Li Fu... He wants to have a good treat, so that we can treat guests well."

"Yes, Master, don't worry, the villain has prepared a long time ago."

Li Guo seemed very satisfied, looked at the manager and said appreciatively: "Li Fu, over the years, you have done your best to make me worry a lot. How about your son now?"

"I'm still studying, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, Li Guo smiled and said, "I will live some life and let him enter the Imperial College. Even if he has no fame, he can at least be named a prison student."

Li Fu was suddenly flattered and immediately said, "Thank you, lord."

As he said that, he knelt down with gratitude and kowtowed three times.

On the other end, Li Guo's sedan chair had already started.

Li Guo is naturally familiar with such a way to control people. If someone does things well, he will have to give them sweetness.

But at this moment, he was sitting in the shaking sedan chair, thinking about his thoughts. Recently, His Majesty urged him to change mulberry to grain too tight, and he was stuck in the middle, which made him feel embarrassed.

He was so dazed that he was so excited that he lifted the curtain of the sedan chair on one side, wanting to see the streets and alleys of the capital at dawn.

At this time, he saw a man wrapped in an old coat walking on the street with a bag, walking in a very embarrassing manner. He seemed to be covering his face. At this time, it was the coldest time and his body was shrunk into a ball.

Li Guo squinted his eyes at this time, as if he was disappointed, so he put down the curtain of the sedan chair.

"It seems... I have to think of a perfect solution today." He murmured.
