Chapter 380 Coupon

The four-carriage sedan ran north quickly, and jogged forward, backward, left and right, up and down, making Hai Rui's bones disintegrate. The four sedans were tired of carrying, so the other four immediately changed into each other, and still trotted and kept jogging.

"Stop the sedan!" Although Hai Rui had never made a sedan chair, he knew that he had been fooled and couldn't help but burst into anger.

"Go back to the master, there are still dozens of miles from the city," the sedan chairman outside said sarcastically: "We have to hurry up, otherwise the city gate will be closed."

"I order you to stop the sedan chair!" Hai Rui saw that they not only did not listen, but also sang those songs in strange tone. He was even more angry. He even took off the seat board and beat him out, knocking a sedan chairman to the ground, and the sedan chair stopped.

Hai Rui held the sedan door and trembled, his face turned pale yellow and yellow. After a while, he returned to normal. He straightened his waist and looked at these sedan chairmen with a penis with a penis.

Although his eyes were not big, his eyes were as sharp as a razor. Whoever shaved, he would have to lower his head, and no one dared to look at him.

After looking at the distance in silence, he couldn't help but nodded secretly... Being an official requires aura, and only by having an aura can he suppress people, but most people have been in high positions for a long time, and are responsible for life and death, and have been cultivated for many years. However, Hai Rui was a mere tutor and did not wear his official uniform at this moment, but he could use his aura to suppress everyone. It seems that he is indeed outstanding.

After all the people were suppressed, Hai Rui looked around and saw that there was a pile of adobe left on the left of the building. He pointed to the adobe and said, "Transfer this adobe to the sedan chair for me."

Everyone immediately turned into a dumb goose, and the leader said embarrassedly: "You old, what do you want this thing?"

"Carry it to the mansion to set up a bed for me!" Hai Rui said expressionlessly.

The head of the sedan chair hurriedly bowed and said, "Master Qi Binghai, there is a good brown trampoline in the mansion, so there is no need to put bricks..."

"There's no way," Hai Rui spread his hands and said, "I can't get used to that thing!" He said, "Don't be verbose, one person and four, move it to the sedan chair!"

The sedan chair owners had to move the adobe into the sedan chair obediently, but after the move, Hai Rui sat in again.

Sitting cross-legged in the car that had already stamped the adobe, Hai Rui lowered his eyelids and said, "Let's go quickly, aren't you afraid of delaying entering the city? Hurry up and hurry up!"

A piece of adobe was more than five pounds, sixteen people were sixty-four, which was more than three hundred pounds, and more than one hundred pounds in Shanghai Rui, which was nearly five hundred pounds. The sedan chairmen were crushed and staggered, sweating profusely, and changed one after another, and finally they were all crushed and their waists were almost broken.

Seeing that he met a master, the sedan chairmen put down the sedan chair and knelt down to beg for mercy.

Hai Rui stared at them and said, "You are not sedan chairmen." These people have too poor physical fitness and cannot afford this bowl of rice.

"Your old law is like a torch," the sedan chairmen dared not hide it even more. The bamboo tube poured beans and said, "We are just some gangsters in Suzhou City, and have been hired to give you an ugly look."

"Who?" Hai Rui asked in a deep voice.

"This, the young men dare not say it," the gangsters shook their heads and said, "We can't afford to offend them."

"If you can't afford to offend them, can you afford to offend me?" Hai Rui sneered and said repeatedly: "If you don't say it, I know who those people are. I ask you-if I want to take you, can they protect you?"

Everyone shook their heads and said, "No."

"On the contrary, if I want to protect you, will they dare to touch you?" Hai Rui induced slowly.

"Don't dare." The rascals were completely surrounded by him.

"So," Hai Rui said word by word: "Which side should you go to?"

"We said, we said," the ruffians were about to admit it, and the leader asked worriedly, "Can you really protect us?"

"I, Hai Gangfeng, will be convinced, and there is no need to doubt it." Hai Rui replied in a deep voice.

Those ruffians learned from somewhere that the inhumane Haibijia was coming to Changzhou as the county magistrate, fearing that their wealth would be cut off, so they planned to give him a warning.

After hearing this, Hai Rui thought for a while and stopped getting into the sedan chair this time, so he ordered them to carry the sedan chair straight to the county town. He followed behind and urged them to leave quickly like a sheep.

Silence was interested and followed closely behind.

I hurriedly entered Suzhou City before closing the door and headed straight to Changzhou County Government.

At this time, the county government office was decorated with lights and red and green. The county officials and the second officials had already received the news and were waiting at the door. A group of minor officials were waiting there with firecrackers in their hands, thinking that these people really wanted to welcome him? Of course not! They estimated that Haigangfeng was coming all the way, and they should have been so pissed up all the time and couldn't stand even, so they held this welcome ceremony and wanted to see his joke.

The county magistrate Gou, who was shy with a big belly, said proudly to the people watching the fun: "The new county magistrate is just a teacher. This is the first time in his life to sit in a sedan chair, and I don't know if it's used to it!" After hearing this, the people looked to the street corner, wanting to see what was going on.

After a while, the sedan chair came to the county government office. The sedan chairmen put the sedan chair down and sat on the ground with exhaustion. Only Hai Rui stood there.

His crane was prominent in the crowd. County Magistrate Gou and his group had known the appearance of the future county magistrate and asked tentatively: "Are you Mr. Hai?"

"It's my official." Hai Rui looked at him coldly.

"Why aren't you sitting in a sedan chair?" County Magistrate Gou was puzzled, thinking that the sedan chair was quite heavy? What was it inside?

Hai Rui smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Gou is right?"

"The lower-ranking county magistrate Gou Yangde, and he met the emperor." County magistrate Gou had no choice but to salute him. The chief clerk behind him, Dianshi and others also followed him to salute him.

Hai Rui didn't ask them to get up, and pointed to the sedan chair and said, "I want to thank you for your special care, but I'll sit in your sedan chair so hard that my bones are broken and I need to support the kang to rest. You can do your best and help me build a kang."

County Chief Gou and others were stunned, but in full view of everyone, how could they disobey the orders of the county magistrate? They had to move the adobe in the sedan chair into the county government one by one according to Hai Rui's request.

Seeing the men of County Chief Gou who was usually showing off his might, taking off his official uniform and carrying adobe in a mess, the people burst into laughter and felt very angry. Naturally, they also had a great impression of this new Lord Hai.

Taking advantage of the time when those people were moving bricks, Hai Rui had washed his face and changed into his seventh-grade official uniform. After wearing black veil, he had completely lost his appearance as a shabby commoner. Instead, he was a majestic official appearance.

The first dynasty is following the previous dynasty's examples. It is not only about articles, but also about appearances. The so-called "herdsmen must have official appearances, and without official appearances, there is no official power." Therefore, when selecting scholars, there is an additional condition, which is actually an inevitable condition, which is to have a good appearance and complete six palaces. For example, the first level is the face of the character "Guo" with the face of the character "Jia" and the face of the character "Shen"; the second level also requires the face of the character "Tian" and the face of the character "Yu". Once the official hat is worn, there will be an official appearance. If the parents are not kind and give birth to a face of the character "Nai", no matter how beautiful the article is, it will definitely fail.

For example, silence, the handsome young man with a character-shaped face is considered the second-class face for an official, but his eyes are big and bright, his sword eyebrows are penetrated directly into his temples, his lips are thin and his nose is straight, which is more appreciated by the examiners than those simple national faces, so he still gets a first-class face when facing each other.

But Hai Rui was a juren. Although he passed the imperial examination and was a master of writing, he was very knowledgeable about national affairs and wrote a text to complain about the current problems. The examiner naturally did not like it and fell into the list on the ink scroll. Therefore, he was unable to pass the "face" level at all.

Whether there is an official appearance can only be revealed if you wear an official uniform. I have seen him twice along the way. He wore cloth clothes and cotton shoes, and there was no clue at all. Now when I arrived in Suzhou City, I wore a county hat and uniform for the first time. I saw his eyebrows high and his nose and concave eyes. Under the bright firelight, I was so arrogant that I couldn't help but feel sad.

When ordinary people saw the adults, they were not those fat-hearted officials. They thought that such adults might be greedy and gentle, and their favorability towards him increased by three points.

Hai Rui stood in front of the yamen without entering the door until the officials moved the bricks and stood in front of him with trepidation. He heard Lord Hai give another order: "Drill ten large holes in the outer wall of the county government!"

The county magistrate said in his heart: 'This man is too tiny, I really dare not offend him.' So Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Sir, what a pity it is to have a hole in the wall?"

Hai Rui sneered: "I heard that some officials in Changzhou County used to extort the people, which made people complain. I wanted to release all the pickled and turbid air in the yamen, so I had to dig some holes to breathe!" As he said that, he waved his hand and said, "Chir!"

There is no way, if you are a senior official, you can kill someone, just chisel it. It just so happens that everyone hasn't washed their hands yet, so just do it.

On a cold day, the officials of Changzhou County sweated heavily, swung sled hammers and dug ten large holes in the county government walls, which could be seen from the outside.

After the hole was chiseled, Hai Rui asked someone to hang two blank vertical banners in front of the county yamen, and wrote a couplet in his own handwriting. The first couplet was "The black lacquer yamen opened with the eight characters", and the second couplet was "If you have money, don't come in." Finally, a horizontal copy was written: "I accept the letter day and night."

Everyone then realized what it meant to let someone dig a hole. It turned out that it was to make everyone complain and complain, so that they would not have a way out because they were blocked by the yamen runners. So, there were endless people who complained, and Lord Hai was busy until dawn on the first day of his tenure.

Siren stood opposite the yamen, watching this unprecedented scene, Tiezhu and Sanchi stood behind. Sanchi shook his head and said, "Although the new official took office, the fire was too strong. He offended all his subordinates as soon as he came, and in a blink of an eye, he offended the rich and wealthy families again. How can he do this in the future?" He is a veteran from Beijing, and what he is commonplace is that the upper and lower levels are in a collusion and collusion, but he has never seen such a person.

When we met, Tiezhu was much simpler. He retorted excitedly: "Is it right to kill and set fire to a golden belt, build bridges and pave the roads without corpses? If there was no honest official like Lord Hai, would my people in the Ming Dynasty still see some hope?" He was from a lower class and was very angry with the government, so he had a natural favor for officials like Hai Rui to promote the people.

"How do you know he is not doing it?" Sanchi sneered: "Look, it's sure it's a hot pot to fry the farts, it's a bit smelly! I can't wait until after a month, my nephew will still be lanterns, as usual!"

"There are still many jokes," Chen Shu laughed and cursed: "Stop fighting, let's find a store to live, I'll starve to death."

But the two of them asked relentlessly: "Sir, what do you think?"

"As his direct superior," Chen Si turned around and said seriously: "I feel very stressed." After saying that, he left.

The two looked at each other and thought to themselves what this means?

That night, the three of Chen Si rested in an inn called "Dongsheng" in the city.

I had nothing to say all night, and got up the next day and had morning tea in the inn... Most of the inns in Suzhou are front and back yards, with teahouses and inns, which are independent and complement each other.

I walked into the teahouse from the backyard, but I saw that it was different from the teahouse in Hangzhou. Most of the teahouses in Hangzhou were open halls and treated equally. Whether it was a gentleman or a peddler, the seats were all customers, and they were confused about eating and drinking tea.

However, the tea shops in Suzhou are divided into levels and are not confused. The rich and status are inside, upstairs, ordinary people are downstairs, outside. Silence is to watch the wind, and the iron pillars are only sitting in the outermost hall.

The waiter came to greet him, and the silence made him just take the signature breakfast. After a while, the table was filled with honey and dried tofu, pine nuts and candy, rose melon seeds, shrimp soy sauce, date paste cakes, crystal glutinous rice dumplings, etc. Although it was full of side dishes in small dishes, it was not enough to hold on to the variety, with all the colors, fragrance and taste, which was indeed much better than Hangzhou and Shaoxing.

The favorite thing Chen Si likes to eat is the crystal glutinous rice balls as big as walnuts. They are slightly smaller than ordinary glutinous rice balls. The filling is lard and sugar, and the skin is ground glutinous rice flour. The skin is thin and the filling is large, so they are transparent like crystals. When the glutinous rice balls are served, the child also specifically instructed: "The guest first bite a small bite and eat the soup inside. Otherwise, if you bite the big mouth, the hot juice in the filling will splash out, and the burning mouth will be bad!"

This was a torture for the impatient spirit of Iron and Sanchi, so they all stayed away from this delicious food and instead attacked those who could eat.

But this kind of crystal glutinous rice dumpling was just in his silent temperament. He slowly scooped the crystal glutinous rice dumplings, and while blowing gently, enjoying the warm morning light. Listening to the soft Wu dialect of the people next to him, he couldn't help but shake his head and secretly praised: "This is life!"

Those people seemed to be discussing the weather this year and the harvest of crops. Silence naturally would not be too interested. It was just a bit strange that people in the city generally did not care about this. Why did Suzhou people become an exception? They don’t grow food either.

After eating a bowl of glutinous rice dumplings, he felt a little full in silence, so he went to listen to the conversation between the diners sitting next to him. It didn't matter, but the content of the conversation shocked him!

Only the audience said to a middle-aged man dressed in bright clothes and fair-faced, "Mr. Wei, you have the final say in the Changyuan account. Can you reveal what your ticket account is about?"

The Fourth Master Wei looked embarrassed: "This... is not good." Everyone brought him tea and water, and served the best breakfast, and said: "Just treat it as a chat, give me some insight."

"Okay," Mr. Wei Si said as if he had made great determination: "But no external transmission is allowed, I will not be able to explain it if it is spread."

The people in the room shook their heads and said, "Don't worry, we are tight-lipped." Then they all looked at him eagerly, as if waiting for the golden rules.

After looking silently, he thought to himself: "Is this Si Master Wei stupid, or are these people stupid?" How can it be kept secret in such a big place with too many people? But everyone is at ease, and none of them feels inappropriate.

I heard Wei Si say: "According to our boss visiting Changshu in person, we found that there was too much rain and the temperature was high last year. This year, it is very likely that there will be more insect pests and the weather is cold. It is estimated that the possibility of production reduction is relatively high." After saying that, he added: "But there are unexpected situations in the world, and no one can say this. I will just say it, and you can just listen to it.

Silence feels ridiculous because this person looks like one of the three most unreliable mouths in his life - a stock analyst.

No one cared about his 'disclaimer' and asked nervously: "Then do you think you should have a bad harvest, and what is the price of rice?"

"This is hard to say." Master Wei Si said to Qiao again.

The best Longjing offered him soon, and then he lowered his voice: "I heard from the owner that the harvest was 30% bad, and the price of new rice with shells in Changshu will rise to about three or three taels of one stone."

"Will all kinds of food coupons have to increase the price..." Everyone exclaimed in unison.
