Chapter 82 Patrol
"So what you mean is that this Young Master Yan came in accordance with the intention of Cai County, specifically to motivate us to pay for money?"
Zhu Huazhang's eyes widened and his voice rose: "What does the person surnamed Cai mean? Every time he meets his father, he is polite third grandson, and now he has done this again. His yamen needs sponsorship. Will we agree to come to us for a conversation in person?"
"I'm afraid I won't take out more than 10,000 taels in one breath." Zhu Yanlan couldn't help but murmur.
Zhu Yanfeng also said: "Magic Magistrate Cai is not just for our family. Today, the income from wearing flowers in Fuyang County is probably worth the taxes and taxes for a few years."
The taxation in the Great Zhou Dynasty generally only collected tax grains, but it was OK for workers who had no land to pay real money and silver.
Cai Zhixian sold paper flowers to the yamen one night, which was enough to make him dominate the evaluation.
Zhu Huazhang shook his head and murmured: "These officials are really..."
"Okay. Don't talk about the officials of the court. You are the "prefect who destroyed the family and the county magistrate who destroyed the family." Although our family is rich, we still have to establish a good relationship with local parents and officials. This ten thousand taels of silver cannot touch the foundation of our Zhu family. But if the matter is not done well and makes Cai County dissatisfied, it will be difficult in the future." Mr. Zhu said seriously.
Zhu Huazhang, Zhu Huaxian, Zhu Yanfeng and Zhu Yanlan all stood up and saluted and responded: "Yes."
Everyone dispersed and rested.
Unexpectedly, the Zhu family welcomed an unexpected distinguished guest early the next morning.
The old man on the second door got the servant's message and ran into the Changqing Hall of the inner house.
The second-class maid pomegranate who was serving the old lady was watering flowers in the yard. When she heard the footsteps, she looked over with a long-handled wooden spoon, "Oh, isn't this the flower mother? Why are you so anxious?"
Mother Hua lived in the door frame with one hand and patted her chest with the other. She took several breaths before saying, "Go back to the old man, Magistrate Cai is here in person!"
The wooden spoon in the pomegranate's hand suddenly threw it into the wooden barrel and hurriedly responded.
Mr. Zhu was a little surprised when he got the news, so he changed his clothes and went out.
"Old man, do you want to call me the second man?" The old man chased him out and asked.
Old Master Zhu waved his hand behind him and walked away quickly.
In the front hall, a man in his early forties, with a slightly fat figure and a big sleeved shirt in an ochre colored round neck and big sleeves was sitting on the head with his legs crossed, holding a blue and white bowl, looking at the pattern on his head.
Another man who was about the same age as him but was thin and dressed as a scholar was whispering something in his ear.
When Mr. Zhu saw these two people, he bowed and smiled, "The magistrate is here, and the humble house is full of glory."
Citizen Cai put down the tea bowl and returned the gift with a smile, "Where is it, I haven't seen you for many days, and Mr. Zhu is still so blushing."
"I wish you good luck, life will be smooth." Old Master Zhu saluted to Master Qu next to him, "Mr. Qu, it's been a long time since I saw you."
Master Qu also returned the favor with a smile.
Becoming polite, Mr. Zhu sat down, while Mr. Qu was still standing behind Cai Zhixian.
"Cai Magistrate's complexion is very good. It seems that there are new people in the mansion. You are so happy when you are happy."
Cai Zhixian got a grandson, and the Zhu family even gave him a gift.
"Haha, as I get older, I want to be at peace and prosperity of my family." Cai Zhixian smiled and straightened his beard.
When he mentioned his grandson, Cai Zhixian remembered that their family had always had a good relationship with the Zhu family, and they never stopped moving around on New Year's Day gifts and big and small matters.
Thinking back to the fact that I received 10,850 taels of snowflakes from the Zhu family yesterday, Cai Zhixian said straight to the point: "I'm here to come to the mansion today, there's a good thing."
"Oh? What's the good thing?" Mr. Zhu asked calmly.
County Magistrate Cai looked around and saw that the servants of the Zhu family were all looking away with a wink, and then he whispered: "The emperor sent the Chief Censor Wang Rufang to inspect the Hangzhou Prefecture. Now Lord Wang is in Hangzhou. Do you know that this person is coming, who has brought?"
Old Master Zhu leaned forward with a serious face and asked, "Please let the magistrate inform you."
Cai Zhixian's voice was even lower, "You can't not know that there is only one prince who has passed by the Eighth Prince."
When Mr. Zhu heard this, he took a breath.
Cai Zhixian said again: "When this highness knew that Lord Wang was coming to Hangzhou, he wanted to follow him to understand the people's sentiments. The emperor was determined to cultivate Lord Six, so he naturally allowed him to go out. The Sixth Highness would not be his own person, but also the young masters and daughters of the nobles of the Duke and Bo Mansion of the Duke of Beijing, and the princes and daughters. This time, they came with six or seven people.
"The Prefect of Lu ordered people to send a message to this official. Lord Wang Rufang would take the water route and arrive in Fuyang with His Highness Six, a group of princes and daughters in the past two days. He asked him to arrange residences for His Highness Six and his group.
"The inn is a designated place to live. Other places are simple. After thinking about it, I think that among the well-known figures in Fuyang, only Mr. Zhu has the confidence to entertain the princes and daughters of these noble families.
"This is a great opportunity. If anyone in your house can become friends with these people...if nothing else, it will be a big eye!"
Old Master Zhu's heart was pounding, and there were already thousands of thoughts in his heart.
Although the Sixth Prince has not yet been named the crown prince, the emperor is weak and all his offspring dies after being born under one year of age. In desperation, he has to adopt his son from his brother, Eight Kings, and raise him to teach him carefully.
Now, there is only one princess and one prince under the emperor's knees.
The prince was adopted, and only Princess Fu'an, who was eight years old at the time, was the blood of the emperor.
Therefore, the Sixth Prince is very likely to inherit the throne.
The prince and daughter of the princess and daughters who followed at six o'clock were all wealthy people with great hands and eyes.
The Zhu family has money, but has no power. If they can entertain these people well this time, they will have a good impression and let their children and grandchildren get along well with them, they may be...
Mr. Zhu's heart was pounding. His eyes were full of gratitude when he looked at Zhi Cai.
"I must supervise this matter personally and make these noble people feel comfortable living."
Citizen Cai smiled and said, "It's not enough to be comfortable. You must also make your prince and the young ladies feel at home and have fun."
"Yes, yes, yes. I must make proper arrangements. As for safety..."
"You don't have to worry about this. Wang Xunzhang has taken His Highness so far, so naturally there are guards accompanying him. Only the same thing is true. Don't spread it everywhere. Everyone knows that the trouble is not good."
Old Master Zhu completely relieved and agreed continuously.
