Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

During office hours, the gate of the Zhuoyang Mansion was closed, Tong Ran asked Yuan San to come forward and call the door, and the concierge only asked him to wait outside.

"My lord, please sit here for a while." There were two painted red benches in front of the government office. Sang Le wiped off the dust and asked Tong Ran to sit down.

Not long after, the small door next to the gate opened a crack, and a yamen servant came out.

"Are you Tong Ran, magistrate of Xiaoguo County?" the yamen servant asked.

"It's just my subordinate, I have urgent matters to ask the magistrate, I hope it will be convenient." Tong Ran said.

"The goods shipped to your county are suspected of carrying private salt. Our adults have always enforced the law impartially. Mr. Tong, don't think about making things easier. Go back and wait by yourself." The yamen servant said.

No matter what Tong Ran said, the yamen servant never let go.

After the yamen servant left, Sang Le said anxiously: "My lord, what should we do if the prefect doesn't see us? Is there no room for change in this matter?"

In the courtyard of the magistrate's yamen, a storyteller slapped the wood in surprise, and once "Journey to the West" had just finished.

The yamen servant came forward and said: "As the adults expected, Tong Ran has come, and the younger one has already sent him away as ordered."

Prefect Lu didn't seem to hear it, and shouted: "Reward!" The storyteller on the stage knelt down to thank him.

"Understood." Prefect Lu spoke to the yamen servant, "Let him hurry."

"My lord," the master at the side came up and said, "Master, do you want me to send someone to beat and beat?"

Lu Zhifu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "What is there to beat? It's not the first day you've seen Tong's stubbornness. He had this virtue as early as when he was still a stinky writer. His county repair Lu didn't ask the people for a penny, but he bought a lot of people's hearts, but the wages of those workers had to be given out in real money. Now there is no raw material, and the work cannot be started, and the wages are paid for nothing if the work cannot be started. I would rather Let's see how he can survive in a small county."

Master: "Your Excellency is right, it is better for you to be considerate."

Prefect Lu was even more proud: "I'm doing things according to the rules now, let's follow the procedure one by one, and let the side surnamed Tong go in a hurry."

Many shrubs were planted in the courtyard of the magistrate's yamen, and a pair of green eyes appeared in a clump in the east corner.

The little tiger was lying on the bushes. It mobilized some righteous energy to strengthen its perception, and heard the words of prefect Lu on the other side of the yard clearly.

His calculations did not surprise Chu Jun. When he listened to "Journey to the West" again, the little tiger quietly came out of the bushes and slipped out through a small hole at the foot of the wall.

"Wow! Wow!" it just got out when a dog yelled at it.

It was so noisy, the little tiger beat him uprightly, and the stray dog ​​turned his head and shut his mouth.

Tong Ran returned to Washe but did not see the little tiger. Qiu'er had already searched outside, and now she was so anxious that she was about to cry.Tong Ran was already annoyed in his heart, but now he became more anxious, his face was terribly dark, Sang Le and Yuan San followed behind him, not daring to say a word.

Stepping out of Washe's door quickly, Tong Ran looked left and right, and was about to go left, when suddenly he heard: "Wow!"

Tong Ran hurriedly looked for the sound, and the little tiger was two steps away from him, calling to him.

"Where have you been, Zai Zai?" Tong Ran rushed over to pick it up, picked up the leaf on its forehead and threw it away.

"Wow!" said the little tiger.

"Did you sneak out to play? Do you know that my brother is dying of anxiety!" Tong Ran said.The tiger cub was still too young, and he might be abducted by someone without anyone around him.

"Wow wow wow!" I went to Weifu for a private interview!

Tong Ran couldn't understand what the little tiger was calling, so he thought it was being naughty again and gave it a hard time.

"Wow!" The little tiger roared fiercely at him, turned around and ran into the house, jumped onto the museum shelf and ignored people.

Tong Ran was also angry, and didn't try to coax the little tiger, and the little tiger didn't come down either. After a while, Tong Ran looked up at it again, and it fell asleep lying on it.

"Really." Tong Ran moved the chair resignedly, went up to hug the little tiger himself, and put it under the bed.

When Chu Jun returned to the Xuanzheng Hall, Ruan Zheng was already waiting outside the hall.

"Show him in," Chu Jun said.

Ruan Zheng quickly entered the hall under the guidance of the servants. He knelt down to salute, but Chu Jun waved him away, and said, "Why did you come back?"

"Your Majesty, I have found out that a colleague from Xiaoguo County was suspected of forming a clique for personal gain and killed a person, so I took some time to arrest him, and now he is in Dali Temple." Ruan Zheng said.

"Let me ask you, when did you leave Xiaoguo County?" Chu Jun asked.

"This... the evening before yesterday." Ruan Zheng said.

Chu Jun questioned: "It only takes one day and one night from Xiaoguo County to the capital by Kuaima. You left the evening the day before yesterday. Why are you here now?"

Ruan Zheng shrank his shoulders, why is His Majesty a little irritable today?

He bravely said: "Well, Your Majesty, the imperial envoys don't need fast horses, and the humble ministers always have to rest and sleep at the post."

"Still sophistry." Chu Jun glared at him, and the servants in the first hall, including Su Jin, were all silent.

But Ruan Zheng retorted in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I don't want you to be so unreasonable."

"Shut up." Chu Jun said.

"Yes." Ruan Zheng rolled up his cuffs and stood obediently.

His Majesty didn't know what happened today, it seemed like he had eaten gunpowder, but it was stronger than Tong Ran's explosive momentum.Ruan Zheng lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes, slandering in his heart.

"You don't have anything to report?" After a while, Chu Jun asked again.

Ruan Zheng cupped his hands: "Your Majesty, you were the one who shut up my minister."

Chu Jun took a deep breath, and suppressed the urge to hit someone: "Now I allow you to speak."

"Yes." Ruan Zheng smiled, "Report to the emperor, Tong Ran, magistrate of Xiaoguo County, has presented the formula for your majesty to have a look."

Ruan Zheng raised his hands above his eyebrows, holding the bamboo tube Tong Ran gave him.

Su Jin took the bamboo tube and handed it to Chu Jun.

Chu Jun checked it, and found that the mud and seals were intact, and this guy didn't peek.

He opened the bamboo tube.

A piece of silk was placed in the bamboo tube, and Chu Jun took it out and unfolded it, on which were listed the raw materials and production process of the first one in detail.

Chu Jun read ten lines at a glance, he doesn't need to study to understand these, and he can hand them over to the Ministry of Industry later.However, the last sentence on the silk attracted him, it said: I have other special purposes for His Majesty, so it is inconvenient to say more in the letter, I also invite Your Majesty to allow me to come to Beijing to face the saint.

Magistrates are not allowed to leave the governing land casually. Tong Ran has broken the rules by going to his superior's Zhuoyang Mansion from Xiaoguo County. If he came to Beijing privately, it would be a serious crime.

About other uses of □□?

Chu Jun thought about it, but he didn't seem to have mentioned it to anyone else, so he didn't know what kind of method it was.

"Su Jin." Chu Jun said.

Su Jin stepped forward, bowed and waited for the order.

Chu Jun said: "Go there yourself, Tong Ran, the county magistrate of Xuanxiaoguo County, will come to Beijing to meet the saint."

"Your Majesty, is there something wrong with this formula?" Ruan Zheng asked.

Chu Jun folded the silk and said, "No, I read the recipe, and I'm very interested in meeting him." See what kind of medicine is buried in his gourd.

Not long after Tong Ran returned to Washe, Cang Ping, the treasurer of Yanwu Pavilion, also arrived. He heard the cement transporter talk about Xiaoguo County, and he also tried to ask Lu Zhifu to see him.He did see it, but prefect Lu talked about him all the time and refused to talk to him about the cement.

Cang Ping told Tong Ran about the soft nails he encountered in Lu Zhifu, and he was also very distressed.After all, this is the goods shipped by their Fan family. If it is easily detained, it will be bad for their reputation if it gets out.

"Trouble shopkeeper Cang." Tong Ran cupped his hands.

"Master Tong's words are serious, but it's a pity that Cang's words are light, and he can't solve Master Tong's predicament." Cang Ping said.He has been in Fan's for a long time, and he knows the way of doing business. Tong Ran has hired a large number of workers to build the road, and the construction speed is very fast. According to the original plan, the money must be able to keep up. The money in it will not last until the day it is repaired.

Sending Cang Ping away, Sang Le and Yuan San also looked worried.

Tong Ran didn't eat much for lunch, so he lay down on the bed for a while in the afternoon, taking a rest, then took Sang Le and Yuan San to the movable type printing workshop outside the city.

Ran Heng Printing Workshop has already gained a good reputation, and there are more and more movable type printed books on the market. In addition to printing "Journey to the West", they also do external work.Because of "Journey to the West", writers of scripts seem to prefer them, and many scripts are printed here.

Tong Ran has shares in the printing workshop, and because he is not in the local area, the share dividends cannot be paid on time every month, so he has saved a lot in the printing workshop.

When Tong Ran went to the printing workshop, he met Master Qi who was engraving letters.Master Qi recognized Tong Ran at a glance, took him to greet him, and wanted to discuss the carving process with him.

Tong Ran didn't know much. At that time, it was only by staying up late and practicing hard and being smart that he was able to calm him down. He immediately said: "I have something urgent to ask for a supervisor. Please show me the way."

Tong Ran hasn't been here for a while, and the workshop has expanded a lot, so he really doesn't know his way.

Master Qi was a little disappointed, but he still asked his apprentice to lead him the way.The manager of the workshop also knew Tong Ran, knowing that he was now an official, he dared not neglect him, so he asked someone to make tea and asked him why he came.

Tong Ran said frankly: "I am dissatisfied with you, I have some problems with the turnover of money, and I want to take away the interest money stored in the workshop."

Upon hearing this, the steward called the accountant.The accountant opened the ledger and did the math: "You haven't taken any interest for seven months, and it's been stored in the workshop account. Now it's 500 taels of silver."

"You can bring it up for me, I think it's too late to take it away today?" Tong Ran said.

The accountant was stunned for a moment and said, "This 500 taels is not a small amount, you want it today?"

Tong Ran nodded: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

The accountant and the steward looked at each other and guessed that something happened to Tong Ran.Afterwards, the manager nodded, and the accountant hurried to do it.

"Master Tong, I heard that the goods that Fan's transported for you have been detained, but because of this?" asked the manager.

His time in Fan's was no shorter than Cangping's, and he knew many things.Their boss has a very good relationship with Tong Ran. Recently, they have been transporting stones and soil from Linhai Road and Jiangliu Road for him.This time the goods were seized, Tong Ran was anxious, and their Fan family was also anxious. If they didn't handle it well, it would affect their future business.

Tong Ran nodded.

Tong Ran suddenly came to withdraw money, is this going to throw money to make a relationship?Stewards guesswork.

But don't allow him to ask more questions, the cashier has already prepared the silver taels.Tong Ran took it and thanked her and left.

That night, Tong Ran took the new manuscripts of "Journey to the West" to the shopkeeper Li. He had written these manuscripts beforehand, and now it happened to be given to him.In addition, he also had an unmentioned share from Donglai Washe. When handing in the manuscript, Tong Ran said he would take it.

Shopkeeper Li understood, Tong Ran's goods were confiscated, and the magistrate didn't see him, so it was understandable to use the money for activities.

But when the cashier brought the money, Tong Ran cupped his hands to shopkeeper Li and said, "I'll go back to Xiaoguo County tomorrow morning, thank you shopkeeper Li for the past two days, I'm really bothering you."

Shopkeeper Li was startled: "You... want to go back?"

Didn't he want to use money to make connections?How do I call when I go back?Fighting cattle from a distance?
