Chapter 168:

After Fan Dazhu went back, he was anxiously waiting for Xue Ting's next move.
Anyhow he didn't move at all.
Every day, he limped into the public hall, posing with his official posture, but after turning his head, there would be news in the house of how the adult annoyed his wife and how to beg him.
It's almost crying and laughing.
And because the people in the Yamen are too capable, and things are reduced in the winter, Xue Tingyan changed the appearance of the previous positive, and the number of times he went to the Ya was less and less, and even only a few days later.
He is so reassuring that he does n’t care about anything.
Of course Xue Tingyan is not idle, and will go out every three to five. Fan Dazhu also sent someone to stare, but found that Xue Xueren's temperament is very strange, seems to be very attentive to what he said that day, actually was quite interested in disguising ordinary people to listen to those previous things.
Fan Dazhu is really not afraid of his listening. Maybe his rhetoric does have selfishness to explain to himself, and he also wants to persuade the other party, but what he said is true.
After Xue Tingyan went out a few times, he seemed to have lost his interest, but he seemed to be lingering in his interest and became more lazy in political affairs. Fan Dazhu didn't send people to stare at him anymore. He thought that people have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. Who would have killed the officer before he had done it for two days?
Especially after a few days, Fan Dazhu sent a pen to Xue Tingyan.
There are not many silvers, only a hundred or two, but for a county whose salaries are only a few dozen a year, it is already a lot of money.
According to Fan Dazhu, this is nothing more than charity respect from others.
In other words, this is not the only one in a year. At least there is Tan Jing, and then there is Bing Jing, with a base of two hundred and two every year. Maybe there are more.
The silver and Fan Dazhu were not sent to Xue Tingyan's hands, but to Zhao'er.
Zhaoer did not postpone it, but took it at once, and told Fan Dazhu ’s wife, Mao, that in the future he would let his grandfather promote the Fanxian Cheng, and play a very greedy and shallow-eyed little woman. it is good.
But Mao's vomiting, on the surface, he smiled, turned his head back home and straightly scolded Fan Xian for such a person or the county magistrate.
Mao did not want to stifle such vulgar people, so the two houses were next door, and rarely came here. But instead of looking for her, she would come to her instead.
Zhaoer suffocated for two days and finally revealed his purpose.
Zhaoer told Mao that she was also in business, but she opened a small shop selling silk flowers in Beijing. But she is very interested in doing business, and it should be interested in silver, right? Anyway, Mao's heard this. Therefore, Zhaoer deliberately asked Mao to ask how to earn more money.
Although she didn't say what she wanted to do, she was inquiring about the meaning of what she said and what she didn't say.
Mao can't be too scared by her. Even she has never dared to think like this. But in order not to lose her ugliness in front of Zhaoer, she deliberately concealed this surprise, but turned her head and told the matter to Fan Xiancheng.
Just in Fan County Cheng was still wondering whether the matter was what his wife thought, or whether the wife was granted by the adult, and the adult took the initiative to find him.
Xue Tingyan tried to cover up the essence of his fear, but pretended to be a helpless woman annoyed by the woman.
Fan Xiancheng sighed with him very understandingly. Before the two had spoken, they each sighed about the Hedong Lions at home.
After sighing, there seems to be a common topic, and the two have a tacit understanding. Entering the subject later, Fan Xiancheng also secretly informed Xue Tingyan that although he knew some of them, he never dared to move.
Xue Tingyan didn't say anything at the time. After turning his head for a few days, he went to Shangxian County Cheng and probably frankly stated his thoughts.
According to Xue Tingyan's idea of ​​not knowing the heights of the earth, he is the parent officer of Dinghai County, and everything in this county should be presided over by him. It doesn't make sense for others to eat meat, drink soup by themselves, bear the burden, have their heads hanging, and they can't drop the three dates.
These Fanxian Cheng felt deeply touched, thinking that when he first knew these things, he could not sleep all day. But not as Xue Xue said, others eat meat, drink soup by themselves, they are burdened, their heads are dangling, and they still can't drop three fruits and two dates.
However, Fan Xiancheng was timid and had no one behind, so he naturally dared not move.
But Xue Tingyan was different. According to what he said, he was also a writer of the Hanlin Academy. Although he was drinking, he stood, in the end, he was a person who had seen the world.
There are many subtle meanings in this remark, which probably means that there is someone above him.
Afraid of Fan Xiancheng ’s disbelief, he also reiterated that his teacher is now in the middle of his majesty, and he is serving on the side of the king every day. If those people dare not let him join, he will let them fly, do n’t believe it!
When trying to say this unbelief, Xue Tingyan's young face was a bit greedy and vicious.
Fan Xiancheng was directly shocked.
But this matter is gone, because the Chinese New Year will soon.
This year, it was quite lively.
In the end it is not ordinary now, but also a local parent officer.
Not to mention that the following people have to be filial, even if it is an old hen, it is also filial. When there is filial respect, Master Xue suffers.
Nowadays everyone has learned to give gifts to adults and don't give them to themselves. The adults are readers, and the readers regard the silver as a thing. But my wife likes it, just give it to her.
So Zhao'er had a very happy year. The wives of the officials below came to pay her a New Year greeting, and she was surrounded by people every day. Even Hong'er, who is obviously just a four-year-old baby, was described as a boy under the virgin of Avalokitesvara.
The good words heard cocoons in the ears, no wonder Zhao Er couldn't smile every day.
Finally, the year passed and the weather slowly picked up.
In March, there were rumors outside that there were pirates in the county, which caused the people to be anxious.
But at this time, Xue Tingyan's actions almost did not scare Fan Xiancheng to death.
He did not know where to send a batch of raw silk, silk, tea and other things, saying that this trip will go to sea.
Not only that, he recently called the three groups of soap, strong, and fast in the Yamen every day to call out to teach. The main content of the discourse is that the old man is as big as the sky. What the old man tells you to do, you have to do what the old man said, that is.
The question is these are not nonsense? Naturally, what the lord let him do, let him do it.
But soon they knew what the master had asked them to do.
Small towns like Dinghai County have no soldiers specifically guarding the gate.
They are usually also served by government officials, also called doormen.
There are two gates in the city, and one can send a few people to watch it. Of course, this is also the usual time. When it is urgent, the local health center will send soldiers to guard.
As for what is critical? Naturally, when there is a pirate chaos.
But this time it was surprising that when the people of Dinghai Houshao came to take over the city gate, they were rejected. According to the officials, they said that guarding the gate of the county was within the responsibilities of the county government. The Weishui gathered all these people, and they had to search around for pirates. .
The soldiers of the health center returned without success. After the incident was reported, Geng Qianhu and others did not take it seriously. It was only when the new official of Xuezhi County took office that he took three fires, and he used people's money to eliminate disasters for others.
But they soon learned that this was not the case.
Don't look at Dinghai as a small county town. There are many convoys of convoys. They usually go in and out of the city gates. No one has ever questioned them, but now it is better.
This is something that can't be seen, and everyone has nothing to say, even in the past. In the large public, searching in front of the people, this is not just looking for something.
It's not just a matter of some silver. Since I can come here, it's naturally not a bad money, so I put some silver in the past. Of course, no one complained, but there was no one to take care of for a while. Naturally, complaining was not known.
On the day of shipment, there was a curfew on the street, but when night fell, there was a fleet of convoys going to the gate.
The situation is extremely great, like a long dragon who travels in the dark at night, if any ordinary people go out at night, it is estimated that they will be scared to death.
As usual, the gate was wide open, except that some fences were blocked in front of the gate.
A dozen bureaucrats stood in front of the fence, all holding torches in their hands.
Seeing that they were blocked from walking, someone got out of the car and asked.
This man was dressed in black and still covered his face. Those who didn't know what they thought were the thieves who had come to pick flowers.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with this?"
"No, our lord said, pass me this way, pass me this door, this door goes to Penglai, if you want to pass to get silver." The gatekeeper said difficultly, listening to the poems from his own master, In fact, my heart pounded, I don't know if these words can bluff these people.
But the matter has come to this point, he can only stick on his scalp. The county grandfather is the sky above his head. He dare not say it today, and let him get out tomorrow.
"Is this a fool?" A few people who can do this kind of business are simple people. Although none of the bosses behind them show up, the errands below are not easy. So when I heard this, I understood what was going on, and sneered while talking.
"Our lord said, this is not a lie. You guys are driving here and you pass by every day, the road is crushed. Afterwards, when you leave, you still have to work hard in our yamen to build roads. Do n’t need money for dinner? And every time you come, we have to be patrolled by all the staff in the government office. Such manpower and material resources do n’t need money? "The doorman tried to recall the appearance of the county grandfather when he was training them, although he could n’t learn everything. Ten, it can be like five or six points.
"Speaking of it, you want money?"
"Our lord said, this is for silver, not for silver ..."
The doorman's words were interrupted.
"Your lord is so famous, so if you go, you're going to die and ask for money."
"If you think so, our lord said, you can't live here without giving money, you can change the way."
"you--"
"Ma Liu, give him money!"
Someone said in a carriage behind. Obviously, it is the general who is responsible for escorting the goods.
Ma Liu reluctantly stared at the doorman and asked, "How much ?!"
The doorman smiled and nervously licked his lower lip: "Our lord said, one car for twelve, according to the car to receive money, as many cars as you give, as much money as you can."
This time, there were more than 20 cars and goods in the business. According to this calculation, more than two hundred dollars will be paid for the door.
This person is irritable and immediately scolded: "Why don't you go grab it?"
The doorman was still the dead-headed, dead-headed, and said: "Our lord said, we are officials, not gangsters, and naturally we can't grab it."
Ma Liu wanted to say something, but was stopped by someone. He honestly took out the money, and the doorman only commanded the people behind him to make room.
When the leading carriage passed by, the faceless man in the car asked: "What else did your lord say?"
The doorman who was looking at the silver ticket in his hand said: "Our lord has talked a lot. Are you sure you want to listen? If you really want to listen, those cars in the future will not be used."
No one was talking in the car, and the team passed quickly.
After the team passed, the doorman stopped another mad wind light and repeated what he had said before.
In order to hurry, also because they did not want to make trouble, almost everyone gave money to buy the road.
So this night, the county government received a lot of money, and the clerk in charge of the cash register shook his hands. A book bag hung by his grandfather when he was leaving was filled with a bag full of bags. Silver ticket.
The doorman couldn't help trembling at the thought of how much money was in the bag.
He didn't know how much he collected, only many, many, and their master said that everyone who received the silver had a share, and a car offered them two or two dollars of hard money. Tonight, more than 500 cars have passed, which means that there are one thousand two.
How many officials are there in Yamen? He can't count, anyway, everyone can get a lot of money.
The doorman was satisfied with the silver money and went back to the yamen, and his master, Master Xue, was leading a group of people waiting in the lobby.
The light in the lobby was bright, and Xue Tingyan was sitting behind the big case, looking majestic. Someone who didn't know thought he was trying a big case. After seeing this man, his eyes lighted up, and even beckoned, it was like a money servant. He grabbed the money bag and turned it over, before handing it to a little girl standing next to it.
This little girl is Xiao Hong, and beside her is Xiao Green.
The two girls weren't very young, so they looked like they were in their tens, and they wore double buns. They looked tender and fresh, but when they got their money bags, they completely changed their personalities.
The two girls led the money bag to the desk of the bureaucrat, and they saw them fall for a while and spilled many silver tickets. There was obviously no sound, but everyone heard the sound of silver and copper coins rattling.
When I saw these two girls, one of them cleverly counted the silver bills, and the other girl took out an abacus and cracked it up, and after a while it was calculated tonight's income, totaling 5,640 for two.
Hearing this amount, everyone below was surprised, including Fan Xiancheng and Zhou Zhuji.
Xiaohong chose a silver ticket of 1,130 and handed it to Xue Tingyan.
Xue Tingyan counted a stack of silver tickets in his hand, and everyone looked at his hand involuntarily. He then gave Hu San and said: "Send them all, according to what the old master said."
Then Xiaohong counted another stack of silver tickets and gave it to Xue Tingyan. This time Xue Tingyan beckoned to Fan County Cheng until he was in front of him, he was sitting on the high chair, and Zun Zun patted his shoulder dearly: "Old Fan, you take it to me Master Zhou said they were divided. The old man said that the old man eats meat, at least let you taste the meat, and the old man will never eat meat, so that the following people can't even drink soup. "
"Sir, I'm afraid ..."
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just do what the old man said. The old man will take care of you and get rich in the future. There are many things."
I don't know when Xue Tingyan has left.
Fan Dazhu, holding the stack of silver tickets in his hand, was still in a daze. The officials below had already divided the money.
More than one thousand or two silvers, even if you count the sweeping of the government office, there are more than a hundred people in total. One person can get at least seven or two silvers, which is in the same hands as before, but it is only two in number, which is simply not the same.
The key is that the money is collected quickly. In the past, it was like a grandson who looked at him in the face, in order to get three melons and two dates.
Say not to let you pass, you can't pass, there is a way to go!
Don't look at the head-stabbing heads before, they are all brave to talk to those men. This time it was very proud and arrogant, but Xiao Wei wonderfully showed everyone how they collected the cash before.
"Hey, as soon as I told him to change course, his face went dark on the spot ..."
"Wang Daniel, those black lights are blind, do you think people's faces are black?"
The official called Wang Daniu yelled for a while: "What a black lamp is blind, not a torch!"
"Yes, what to insert, let Wang Daniu tell!" Anxious to listen to the humane story.
"Don't look at his black face, he has to pay for it when he's black, and he can't get out of his way. This city gate is all watched by our people. In the end, he still scratched his head and gave us money ... I do n’t know. Someone in the car was not convinced. I asked you what the old man said. I said that our old man said too much. Do you want to listen to it? But after listening, you wo n’t have used it today. That car The people here are not angry, I guess he must be very angry. "
The bureaucrats on the side were all smiling, and you said to me in a word: "That is, the lord said too much, and I will guard the gate sometime for me, and then I will learn for them."
"You didn't learn like Wang Daniu."
"How do you know we didn't learn well?"
"Don't you compare? It was the old man who picked Daniel specifically and said that he has the style of the old man, so he was given such a heavy responsibility ..."
The thin bureaucrat named Wang Daniu raised his head and held his chest, looking like he didn't dare to be.
Zhou Li came to Fan Dazhu and grabbed the silver ticket: "What is stupid, quickly divided, go back to sleep."
"can……"
"What's the matter?" Zhou Li looked over at all the servants: "What else do you have to do in this situation? Okay, all right, what do you tell me to do, the sky falls down, not the one who is standing." "
"I was afraid that something would happen after dawn."
"Even if something goes wrong, it's also after dawn, go to bed first and then talk." Zhou Li yawned and walked away.
