People say "the seventh-rank official of the prime minister's gatekeeper", but the status and the benefits that Zhang Ge's hometown have in his daily life are, except for the few fat people in the world, what kind of seventh-rank official has such status and income?

This gatehouse was an old man brought out by Mr. Zhang in Jiangling. It is said that there are now great big villages in his hometown and outside the capital, and there are also stores in the city. His younger brother has become the prefect of a certain place, and the whole family is rich.

Although he was a slave in this life, he was not respectful to anyone in the capital except for the cabinet bachelor and the six ministries officials.

A military officer like the Jinyiwei Qianhu, the gatekeeper of the Zhang Mansion, didn't even raise his eyelids. You should know that Jinyiwei Qianhu is a figure in the capital. If it is placed on the spot, it would be a character who trembles when stomped his feet.

"Where did I come from? Did I hand in the movie?"

Zhang Juzheng sat on the chair without moving. He poured himself a cup of tea and asked calmly. The military officer in front of him was very respectful, with his body bent and said politely:

"Brother Li doesn't know his brother anymore? Brother is Dong Chuangxi who brought medicine to Mr. Zhang, and Master You Qi asked me to come."

The words "sending medicine" and "You Qiye" were heard in my ears. The doorman finally raised his head, pointed at the finger, and said:

"You are from Shandong, send it... to deliver..."

"Send a furry dog."

Dong Chuangxi quickly followed with a smile, and when he was smiling, there was already a seal of silver in his hand, and handed it over. The doorman took the silver and threw it to the side, nodded and said:

"Go in, Xiaoliu, you will lead this person in and see Master Qi first!"

He turned around and shouted, and a servant inside sang a loudly agreed. Then Dong Chuangxi nodded and walked in, followed by two porters carrying loads.

There were two pedestrians chatting at the corner of the street, but their eyes kept glancing at the gate. Their location looked like they were looking at, but in fact everything was in sight.

"Tsk tsk, the prime minister's gatekeeper is so arrogant that he has caught up with the prefect of the place. He is taking you money to give you face. How many people can't even deliver this money!"

"Look at the man's uniform, he is a Jinyiwei Qianhu. I don't know what to send in."

"No hurry. After the boy in the gatehouse came out, he would go to Nancheng for a drink. He would arrange a girl to serve him at night and say everything."

At the bottom of the city wall, there are many warehouses and courtyards, all cold places, and no one lives there. Apart from the change of defenses in the Jingying Army, few pedestrians walk around.

If there is a house in the warehouse and yard, it will be difficult to see if you don’t pay attention. You can’t see it here. You can only see it clearly when you walk in. But whoever is idle will walk in and see it.

"Second brother, go and tell me, can't I make a fuss again? Let me go!"

There are actually houses in the elevated greenhouse warehouse, which is really ingenious. Chai Fulin is in this house, extremely irritable, roaring and begging Lin Shufu.

Lin Shufu looked calm and said:

"It's delicious and delicious here. The wives around you are here. Do you have any complaints? What are you going out to do? Do you beat you out and cause trouble? These times have been repeated, for your own will, are you going to ruin a big deal? Don't be full of humiliation everywhere. Look at these things. I can't see anything. See if you have any worries!"

Chai Fulin gasped for a few breaths, kicked over a stool, and there were several big men standing at the door, but they didn't look at this side. Lin Shufu also sat there motionlessly, looking at him coldly. Chai Fulin felt bored after turning around for a few times, and sat at the table helplessly and began to flip the paper.

After turning two pages, he tapped his fingers and said:

"They are all officials. Many of them have heard of names, but they have never dealt with each other. However, Dong Chuangxi knew that he was a Jinyiwei Qianhu from Shandong. He used to have some sea business in Tianjin. Now he should have dealt with Wang Tong. He went to Zhang Juzheng to send sea dogs."

"fur seal!?"

"Second brother, you have never used it. This thing is very good for you to make up for medicine!"

The official office of the Jinyiwei of Tianjin is located in Tianjin Acropolis, but now the central area of ​​the Tianjin Acropolis is by the canal and the other is by the Haihe River. The handling is mostly in those two places. Now this official office is very deserted.

However, after Lord Wang's leg injury recovered, he appeared in front of everyone for the first time. The Thousand Houses' Office was the official office of the Thousand Houses. There were two hundred households stationed here on weekdays, which were considered to maintain public order in the city.

“Have the dungeons been cleaned?”

"If you want to go back to the adults, you will get the message from the adults. The dungeon has been cleaned up and a brazier has been added."

Wang Tong walked and talked to the hundreds of households beside him. In the two buildings in the official office, there were prisons that reached the underground. The place was cleaned quite clean, and someone in front of him took a lantern and went down the steps first.

The dungeon is about three times the size of the upper house. Oil lamps are placed on the wall every few steps, but the ventilation area is the flue of the upper house. It is quite hidden, but it makes the dungeon less stuffy.

After receiving Wang Tong's instructions, the place has been cleaned, but it can still smell some strange smell. Seeing Wang Tong frowning after smelling it, the hundred households accompanied him were a little frightened and whispered:

"It's been a long time since I didn't need it. It's been sealed. I've got the orders from the Lord to clean it up. It's because my subordinates are usually lazy. I'd like to ask my Lord to atone for their sins!"

Wang Tong waved his hand and said:

"It's not that young master and lady come to live, so don't blame yourself. I'll leave eleven people watching you, don't freeze to death, die of illness, die of scorching, starve to death, let them live well here."

The hundred households beside him quickly bowed and agreed. Wang Tong looked around and walked up the steps, saying as he walked:

"Except for you two hundred households, you don't have the official badge, no one is allowed to enter. If you make any mistakes, just come and see them with your head!!"

After hearing what Wang Tong said solemnly, the hundred households quickly saluted and agreed.

After walking out of the dungeon, he immediately felt that his breathing was getting better. The weather was already cold. Wang Tong tightened his cotton robe. As soon as he went out, he saw Zhang Shiqiang walking over quickly.

Tianjin Weishui Road and land routes are checked, and pedestrians, cars and horses must be checked, because a large part of the increase in gold, flowers and silver comes from the lijin of passing goods. Many merchants and people are working hard to escape, and the checkpoints are checked.

Spring, summer and autumn are inspections of water and sea trade. In winter, it is land. It is mainly land for Tianjin Wei to go to the capital and various prefectures and counties in northern Zhili. The New Year holiday goods prepared by merchants have begun to be shipped and distributed.

After working for a few years, Tianjin Wei also formed a rule. When winter comes, the workers on the water and sea routes will turn to the land, and the entrainment on the water and land is quite connected.

The land route from Shandong and Hejian Prefecture to the capital is basically along the canal and heading north, facing west in Tianjin, passing through Xianghe County and Tongzhou and then entering the capital.

For the sake of passing pedestrians and caravans, there was a 100-acre vacant land on the side of the official road about five miles west of Tianjin Acropolis. When people and goods arrived, they stopped on this official road and waited for inspection before boarding the road.

Originally, because of the inspection of the passing carriages and crowds, the official road was crowded and blocked, and everyone was suffering. Wang Tong came up with this method. Although it was simple, it was praised by the people who came and went, thinking that it was extremely ingenious.

A lattice with ten-step square was drawn with red bricks buried in the ground. The chariot and horses were parked in these lattices, and the three-person team inspected them one by one.

After walking here for a long time, everyone knows the rules here. Everyone is waiting quietly in the original place. There are also hawkers carrying bamboo baskets and selling various snacks, which is also a specialty.

In the ninth year of Wanli, there were some differences from the past. There were still three-person crew members, but in this area, there were more than twenty officers wandering around, wandering around here, some cars and horses, and some places were not.

Perhaps it was because Tianjin Wei that they visited the newly purchased staff, and everyone didn't care.

In the grid in front, there were two carriages parked. In addition to the animals pulling the carriage, there were also several horses and donkeys. The servants who followed looked very capable.

Although the carriage and the saddles and bridles of the animals looked ordinary, those with vision could tell that this must be a wealthy family going out, otherwise there would be no such rich and introverted appearance.

"There are female relatives in the car. If there are, we will call an old lady here to watch."

The officer spoke to the coachman who was approaching the team, saying that it is not easy for a large family to show up, but if you use this reason to hide something in the carriage, the Tianjin Guard must not ignore it. Therefore, there are more than a dozen women who receive salary here, all of whom are the families of the Jinyiwei. Although the people who passed by don’t want to, they can’t tell me.

"If you say goodbye, there are no female relatives. Our master is afraid of the cold and stays in the car. Master, the messenger outside wants to see it."

The coachman smiled and opened the curtain, and a middle-aged man with a beard inside nodded to the outside with a warm stove in his arms.

The officer glanced at it, glanced at the carriage, signaled the coachman to put down the curtain, took out a red painted wooden sign and handed it over, and said:

"Hold the sign and come back conveniently."

The coachman nodded repeatedly. After checking, the convoy got ready and walked towards the official road.

When we were about to leave the inspection area, a servant reached out to stop the convoy. The coachman and his team came forward with a smile. In addition to the fixed inspection, there are also random inspections for these servants, which everyone knows.

The officer who was randomly inspected looked at the bottom of the car, glanced at the carriage once as usual, and waved his hand to let go.

The crew members who were randomly inspecting kept watching the team of cars and horses walking away. The three crew members who had just inspected ran over and looked at the convoy on the official road, and one of them asked excitedly:

"Is that?"
Chapter completed!
