Jianzhou, Fujian Road Transportation Office.

The transfer entourage Yu Xianqing put down the letter in his hand and said to Xu Shen, the magistrate of Jianzhou sitting opposite him: "This Yongzhou magistrate Xu Ping is also aware of it. The letter said that he would transport 200,000 kilograms of sugar to Fujian by the end of the year, and each kilogram is priced at 550 cents. They paid the freight and asked us to sell it. The price is much lower than the Sansi set, so the money and food of each state will not be so nervous next year."

Xu Shen said: "For Yongzhou, we have been struggling on Fujian Road for several months. This is also the case. I heard from Wu Chunqing that my family originally opened a restaurant and a sugar shop. I know how to deal with the agency. It seems that I have a lot of means to get money. Since we have been asking for it, we cannot let it go easily."

Wu Yu, the provincial dynasty of Xu Ping, was from Pucheng, Jianzhou. His father, Wu Shiwen, was appointed as the Minister of Rites in the reign of Emperor Zhenzong. He was a real official family, so the magistrates of this place were naturally familiar with him. In fact, it was not only Wu Yu, but there were no less than ten Jinshis from Jianzhou who passed the imperial examination with Xu Ping in one exam in the fifth year of Tiansheng. The imperial examination ability of Fujian Road was quite terrifying.

"There is a reason, there is no reason why we are from Fujian. We have been blamed for him, but we don't get any benefits. Let's decide the 200,000 kilograms of sugar first. As long as he wants someone there, he will have to make some blood every year."

Xu Shen nodded and said yes. A few months ago, the levy in the state went to Yongzhou, and he was scolded for being criticized. It was a serious matter to reduce some money and grain by using sugar profits to reduce some money and grain to save his image. The tax amount on Fujian Road was basically determined according to the local regime before the Song Dynasty, and some exemptions were made, but it was still high. Especially the Qian family peacefully contributed the country, and the money and grain paid after entering the Song Dynasty were heavier than the original old land of the Southern Tang Dynasty, so the local people were naturally unbalanced.

"There is another point. The letter said that our people had saved up some money when they arrived in Yongzhou. He reported to the Sansi and agreed to let our states send money to those families according to the flying tickets, and the Sansi will transfer money to other places to make us replenish. Xu Ping deliberately proposed that the county and county report would release the list of the villages and the yamen will issue it together, which would not be able to refute his face."

Xu Shenqi said: "Why did he make such a big deal? How much money can he have?"

Yu Xianqing shook his head disdainfully: "How many can it be? Only a person can only have a few cents of money. Xu Ping knew that the people who were recruiting must be full of resentment, and the people in the local area were shaken, and the money was used to calm people's hearts. It is not a bad thing for us. From tomorrow on, you will order the counties to announce the list in the countryside and choose an auspicious day for those with family to go to Yongzhou to collect money. There is a list attached here, and you will take the Jianzhou one first."

Xu Shen looked at the list and was surprised: "So much? Everyone on this is no less than three guan. It's only a few months. Can he send so much money?"

"If there is such a big disturbance, how can he not give someone an advance payment? If there is too much money, there will be a gleam on his face. However, the letter said that there will be another time at the end of the year, and I don't know why Yongzhou has made so much money, so let's not worry about him!"

Just the money sent by these 3,000 immigrants to Fujian Road is tens of thousands of dollars a year. Yu Xianqing felt his eyelids twitch when he saw it. Yongzhou's work was beyond his expectations. However, as a state transshipment commander, he could not act like he had never seen money.

One day in mid-July, the drizzle kept falling. Lin Apeng brought a hat and carried a basket to the well to wash the wild vegetables dug yesterday. His son Tie Hammer held her hand pitifully, blinking his eyes, and his thin little face was full of vegetables.

Lin Apeng sighed and pryed away his son's hand fiercely.

The family had no food for five or six days, and they lived by digging wild vegetables. I didn’t know when the grains planted in the mountains came down, and I didn’t know how many days I could eat them. I looked at my son sighing, I didn’t know when this kind of life would be, and my five-year-old son could raise it to the age.

Her husband Linye was conquered to Yongzhou at the end of February. At that time, there was no odd job and there was no one in the mountains. He was coaxing and scaring with the servants, so he took Linye away, leaving the mother and son to suffer hard at home. The villagers saw that the mother and son were pitiful, and several people said that they had asked A Peng to change his marriage. A Peng didn't know when he could handle it. Life was like a mountain pressing on his body, and he couldn't help but bow his head.

Just after she was discharged from the hospital with tears quietly wiped her eyes, Li Ersao from the village hurriedly passed by. When she saw Appeng, she shouted, "Apeng, why are you still at home? Don't you go to the county to get the money?"

Lin Apeng was shocked: "What money do you receive?"

"Ah, you don't know yet! The Baibi at the intersection has been released. People who go to Yongzhou have sent money to their families. What's the name of your man? Our family also has money to send it back, so follow me. I'm sorry, I've married into this family for twelve years and took it home for the first time!"

After Li Ersan finished speaking, she left in a hurry.

Lin Apeng was skeptical and followed Li Ersao closely.

Li Ersao's family is different from the Lin family. Her man is good at drinking and gambling. She is born to be a disaster star. She sent the man out. Li Ersao almost celebrating with a drum and drum. It is easier to raise children by herself.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I saw a young man surrounded by Bai Wall on the side of the road. Some people chanted the name above and others chattered and commented. This is the only thing on Fujian Road. There are many people who know how to read. The government has some things. As long as the white walls are posted in the countryside, it will soon spread throughout the countryside without the need for a clerk to shout everywhere.

When he saw Li Ersao and Lin Apeng, a casual man in the village shouted loudly: "You two women are not more efficient when you have money, but they are much closer to men!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Someone also said: "If the government can reveal the list, how much money should the men of these two families send back? Are there any copper coins that can be used as a piece of silk?"

"A few months after going out, Cheng Guan's money was sent back. Is there a mountain of gold and silver in Yongzhou? But the government is well-known, so it should be worth three or two hundred people!"

Amidst laughter, Lin Apeng lowered his head and followed Li Ersao and rushed to the county town along the way.

I didn't dare to expect a successful copper coins to buy two dou of rice for hundreds of cents. The mother and son ate a little thinner, and at least they could survive the past or two months and be able to deal with it for another year.

When she arrived at the county town, Lin Apeng felt that everyone in the city was looking at her and was panicked. Why did she feel like a thief? A man really has money to send it back? She always felt that this was not true.

When I arrived at the gate of the yamen, I saw twenty or thirty people queuing there. There was a table in front of me, and the chief clerk of the county stood by himself. Behind the table, the township managers were either inside or in the village, with three officials checking people, one paid money, and one asked someone to write a handprint to draw a mockup.

The person who left was really holding a lot of copper coins, and he actually had a solid copper coins!

Lin Apeng followed Li Ersao in a daze, feeling like she was dreaming, and it was her turn at some point. Li Ersao, who was from the same village, actually ran away by herself after receiving the money.

"What's the name?" the official in charge asked without raising his head.

"Lin—Apeng—"

"What? There is no such person!" The official still didn't look up, his tone was cold.

Lin Apeng just felt a thud of his head and almost fell down. As expected, they are all lies, everything is lies! Where is such a good thing in the world?

"Not asking you! Not asking you! Asking you the man's name!"

The person standing behind kept stabbing Lin Apeng in a daze, and stomping his feet in a hurry.

Lin Apeng vaguely heard it and couldn't help but speak: "Forestry——"

The official actually heard it clearly, flipped through the list on the table, turned around and shouted, "Where is the village clerk who is in the same position as the one just now?"

A middle-aged man who was drinking water turned his head, put the water down and leaned closer, and said, "Here, here, this is the forestry muddy, there is nothing wrong with it!"

"Six guan, let's go there together!"

The middle-aged man pulled Lin Apeng and arrived in front of the officials next to him.

Seeing the official taking out a pile of copper coins from under the table, Lin Apeng looked around and asked blankly: "Is this mine? My man sent it back?"

The boss of the official was impatient: "Can I give it to you? Take it away soon! Next-"

The middle-aged man helped Lin Apeng to receive the money into her basket of wild vegetables, and she could hardly hold it. However, Lin Apeng gritted his teeth and held it tightly, not letting go at all.

When he arrived at the next official, Lin Apeng drew a stamp like a puppet and made a handprint. The middle-aged man drew a stamp on the same side, proving that the money was paid the right person.

Seeing that Lin Apeng was standing there in a daze after withdrawing the money, he was so stupid that the middle-aged man photographed her: "Apeng, after receiving the money, why don't you go home quickly! Cut pounds of meat for your hammer!"

Lin Apeng woke up suddenly, and somehow shed tears and said to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Qin San, I'll treat you to wine another day--"

The middle-aged man said, "Besides, you go home first. Six guan is not a small amount, and money should not be exposed. You can cover it with the wild vegetables in the basket and be careful on the road!"

Looking at Lin Apeng's departure back and walking with difficulty, the village clerk sighed secretly, when can he be suppressed by money and unable to walk? Is Yongzhou really a mountain of gold and silver?

It is also raining in Yongzhou, much heavier than Jianzhou. The rainwater flows down from the surrounding undulating mountains, and streams rush to the plains around Ruhe, flowing into Ruhe, water, splitting the stone mountains and merging into Yujiang.

Next to the inspector village is another river, which flows northward to Guwan Village and flows into Zuojiang, which is called the Milky Way.

In the rain, more than a hundred people gathered in the valley by the river, all wearing straw raincoats and hats, and hiding from the tall trees at the foot of the mountain.

Li Erlang shrank, looked at the endless rain, leaned against the middle-aged man beside him, and said, "Brother Lin, the money we sent should be at home, right?"

The middle-aged man said leisurely: "It's time to arrive. The judge said he used a flying ticket, and it was very fast."

"By the way, how many have you sent to your home?"

"Liu Guan. Appen suffered for many years with me, so he couldn't lose money to her."

"Why are there so many? The official only paid three months of wages in advance!" Li Erlang was shocked, and then his face collapsed. "I only sent two chariots. The news of a village cannot be hidden. My wife should scold me again. Oh, God testified that since I arrived in Yongzhou, I have never gambled money!"

Lin Ye patted Li Erlang on the shoulder: "Don't worry, as long as you have money to send it back, your wife should be satisfied. Over the years, I have never heard of you having money from your family. If it weren't for the official ban on gambling, I think you wouldn't be able to send back your two-character money."

Li Erlang kept shook his head: "Forget it, I just quit my gambling habit. By the way, Brother Lin, how did you get so much money? You can't save it if you don't eat or drink."

Forestry looked around and attached to Li Erlang's ears, saying, "I think of my fellow countrymen, I only say it to one person, and I must not spread it. - When I am free, I love to wander around the surrounding mountains. I have caught dozens of geckos in the past few months, and I have also got some musks, which were sold in Yongzhou City."

“This also makes?”

"How can't we do it? The barbarians can hunt, but we can't?"

Just now, a voice penetrated the rain curtain: "What's going on? I ran to the foot of the mountain again! Didn't I say that there was no place to run after the mountain torrent! Everyone stood in the valley!"
