Chapter 80 Returning home in rich clothes, collecting money from the Ministry of Household Affairs

After getting off the official ship, Gouzi hired a carriage.

The group of people headed straight to Fengjiazhuang.

Feng Yibo sat in the carriage and watched the scenery changing outside the window.

It actually gave rise to a strange feeling of strangeness.

Fortunately, this feeling began to dissipate as we got closer to Fengjiazhuang.

Instead, there was an increasingly strong sense of familiarity.

After waiting, people began to greet the dog sitting on the shaft one after another.

Feng Yibo's heart suddenly fell to the ground.

He didn't know the reason for this either.

Maybe this is just a shyness in being close to home.

"Crackling~Crackling!"

Before I even got off the bus, firecrackers went off.

Long before they set foot in the village, they were discovered by Zhuang Ding's secret sentinel.

One person was separated and took a shortcut back to report the news.

Mengzi got the letter and immediately informed Uncle Chen and Aunt Meng.

There was a flurry of excitement.

Finally, before Feng Yibo arrived at the gate, he was ready.

At this time, the main door of Feng's mansion was opened wide, and everyone was waiting outside to greet him.

"Congratulations, uncle, for passing the third prize!"

"Congratulations, sir, on your return home in fine clothes!"

As soon as Feng Yibo got out of the car, everyone shouted slogans in unison.

Although it's a little uneven, it shows that they put their heart into it.

"reward!"

Feng Yibo showed a long-lost smile and waved his hand.

Mengzi had already asked someone to bring over two baskets of copper coins.

Together with Gouzi, he laughed and threw a lot of coins at the door of Feng's house.

For a while.

The servants of the Feng Mansion, as well as the bankers who heard the news, came over to watch the excitement.

Everyone cheered and eagerly grabbed the lucky money.

It doesn't matter if you have more money or less.

Mainly because I want to get acquainted with this beautiful man who has returned to his hometown in fine clothes.

That's a lot of culture.

Feng Yibo entered the mansion surrounded by everyone.

There will be someone waiting to wash away the dust from your body.

After dinner, we rested.

That night, Feng Yibo slept particularly soundly.

The next day I slept until I woke up naturally and then rushed to Jinling.

He is going to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs and submit the terms of reference issued by the cabinet.

Anyway, get the start-up capital first.

Only in this way can we recruit soldiers and horses.

Then I have to go to the Ministry of War to confirm armaments, food and pay.

There is also the issue of location.

In terms of residence, he actually has several options.

However, this matter still needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of War, and may require further consideration.

Gouzi was sent by him to vote for him.

Make an appointment to visit Nanjing Camp Commander Mu Kun tomorrow.

Since it was him who recommended me, it was appropriate to go over and pay him a visit.

By the way, let’s test his real purpose in recommending himself.

Distinguish between friends and foes.

"You can have twenty thousand taels of silver withdrawn at any time."

The Ministry of Finance was doing official business, and it didn't seem like they were embarrassing him.

But the words of thanks have not yet been uttered.

I heard the other party say again: "But the rules cannot be broken."

"oh?"

Feng Yibo's heart sank and he asked:

"I'm new here, what are the rules?"

The household official didn't even raise his eyelids and said slowly:

"The rules are the rules. If the household department receives silver, the fire cost will be 20%."

I've only heard that there are additional fire costs when collecting taxes.

This is the first time I heard that there is still a fire cost during distribution?

Feng Yibo frowned and said, "I wonder what I call you, sir?"

"What's wrong?"

After hearing Feng Yibo's words, the man finally raised his eyelids.

But he sneered and said angrily:

"Tsk, do you still want to sue me?"

No matter what he said or what tone he used.

As long as you don't give your name.

A discerning person will understand.

He felt guilty.

Feng Yibo sneered in his heart.

He deliberately kept a straight face and said displeasedly:

"Your Excellency, don't you even know the people in the cabinet?"

"Haha, cabinet?"

The man was still pretending to be disdainful, and then said impatiently:

"If you don't accept it, forget it. The money will be allocated elsewhere tomorrow."

Speaking of this, the man was also joking.

"When the time comes, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. It's useless to go around begging grandpa and grandma!"

Want to scare me?

If Feng Yibo was really incompetent, he would really be frightened by him.

pity.

Your own knowledge is beyond the imagination of the other party.

His face was expressionless and he confirmed again in a cold voice:

"It has been an ancient rule that fire expenses should be returned to the public. Sir, are you sure you need to collect fire expenses when issuing silver?"

"snort!"

The man snorted coldly and stopped talking to Feng Yibo.

"Okay! Since the Lord said that the money is gone, I will go back to the capital to report to Mr. Zhang Ge."

Feng Yibo didn't bother, turned around and left.
