Borrow the day to change the day

() Seeing the morning light coming in through the window, and hearing movement outside the house, I knew it was dawn.

Anyway, they had a happy chat and couldn't fall asleep, so they simply stopped going to sleep. Both Zhong Jinwei and Yan Yingyuan got up.Went to the yard.

Zhong Jinwei was stretching, but Yan Yingyuan walked to the left corner of the yard, picked up a large stone lock in each hand, and began to practice his arm strength.

Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng also got up at this time and came to the courtyard.Seeing Yan Yingyuan lifting the stone lock, he was secretly surprised. The stone lock was not light at first glance, but Zhong Xingbo's brother-in-law lifted it without any effort.

Archie also went to bed very late last night, but because of his habit, he had already woken up at this time and had breakfast with his sister-in-law in cao.

Hearing movement in the yard, Archie talked to his sister-in-law and walked out to check the situation.

Zhong Jinwei turned around when he heard the sound, and found that Archie had changed into a coarse cloth, and he was coming towards him in a simple and simple look.Compared with yesterday's rich and noble mink fur coats, each has its own beauty, Zhong Jinwei couldn't help but praised: "Archie, you look beautiful in everything you wear!"

Archie didn't expect that when he came out and saw the young master, when he wanted to greet him, a flatterer had already patted him first, and he couldn't help giving Zhong Jinwei a slight look, but he was very happy in his heart.

"My lord hasn't washed up yet? I'm going to prepare it for you." Archie's voice was a little sweeter than usual.

Zhong Jinwei nodded and watched Archie return to the kitchen.

After a while, Archie came over with hot water and another cup for Zhong Jinwei to rinse his mouth.

Zhong Jinwei took the cup and a small bag, opened it, and found that the salt used to gargle was a bit thick, and it was completely incomparable with the one he used to gargle in the palace.But being a guest has to look like a guest, and I didn't let him change, so I started to rinse my mouth.

I dipped some salt in it, and stuffed it into my mouth to brush my teeth. As a result, a burst of bitter taste stimulated my brain, and I couldn't hold it back, so I spit it out.

Now that I spit it out, I don't want to continue brushing my teeth anymore, so I just drink water and rinse my mouth.

Seeing Zhong Jinwei's movement, several people in the yard surrounded him.

Zhong Jinwei explained to Archie: "This salt tastes a bit bitter. I didn't expect it for a while. I spit it out. I didn't mean it."

Archie nodded, trusting Zhong Jinwei.I was busy all night yesterday, and I haven't had time to buy Jingyan yet.

Gu Baichuan said on the side: "My lord, the little one has Jing salt in it, I'll go get some."

Zhong Jinwei nodded, and Gu Baichuan went back to his room to get Jingyan.Old Jianghu like them always bring some necessary things when going out, including fine salt.

Zhong Jinwei happened to see his brother-in-law looking at him with concern, so he said with a smile: "You usually use such bitter salt to brush your teeth, can you bear it?"

Yan Yingyuan smiled wryly, shook his head and said, "You have never lived in an ordinary home, and you have never experienced hardship since childhood. Ordinary ordinary people would use salt to brush their teeth."

Of course, Zhong Jinwei suffered hardships when he was a child, but because of the different times, no matter how hard it is, there is toothpaste.

"Then what do you use to brush your teeth?" Zhong Jinwei asked suspiciously. Since he came to this world, he has always brushed his teeth with fine salt.

"Rinse your mouth with wooden sticks or tea. The ordinary people can't afford the Jing salt you usually use." Yan Yingyuan explained.

"Is salt so expensive?" Zhong Jinwei had no idea.

Although Zhong Jinwei's words were a bit harsh, Yan Yingyuan chatted with Zhong Jinwei all night and knew that he was kind-hearted, so these words should be because he really didn't know the value of salt.

So, I explained to Zhong Jinwei in detail: "A commoner can live a year with about one or two five silver coins. A person needs about fifty catties of salt a year to keep his body from getting weak. The price of salt is usually not fixed. Ten catties of salt cost more than five cents of silver when it was expensive, and less than four cents when it was cheap. Do you think the weight of the salt money is too big?" (This is actually Song Yingxing's estimate, here is a fake Yan Yan's mouth , the difference will not be too much.)

Zhong Jinwei calculated secretly for a while, and according to Yan Yingyuan's statement, it actually accounted for 20.00%30.00 to [-]%[-] of a year's living costs, and he couldn't help being surprised.

"Isn't that the usual silver is used to buy salt and grain?" Zhong Jinwei was surprised.

Yan Yingyuan nodded, looked at Wang Peng on the side, made an estimate in his heart, lowered his voice, and said to Zhong Jinwei: "This is the result of mixing official salt and private salt."

The price of salt is too high, Zhong Jinwei turned to Wang Peng and said, "Does your Dongchang have any investigation report on the national salt price, including official salt and private salt?"

Wang Peng stretched out his hand to scratch his head, and replied: "I don't know about the small one." Just as Gu Baichuan returned to the yard, Zhong Jinwei took the bag of Jing salt that Gu Baichuan handed over, and asked Gu Baichuan again.

Gu Baichuan looked at Yan Yingyuan, and he immediately felt hesitation in his heart, and he didn't hide it, and said: "During the reign of Tianqi, there was an investigation."

"Can Xiang Wanggong get this report?" Zhong Jinwei asked.

"As long as the emperor allows it, you should be able to see this report."

Zhong Jinwei nodded and stopped talking. He thought in his heart that when he returned to the capital, he wanted to take this report over for a look at the first time. He had a vague suggestion in his heart that he needed evidence from this report.

I won't talk about it now, let's clean it up first.

After breakfast, he started to get busy with Yan Yingyuan's affairs.

Because he wanted to recommend Yan Yingyuan to Lu Xiangsheng, he had to go to the Tongzhou County Government to resign Yan Yingyuan's job first.

Worried that if Yan Yingyuan went by himself, the county government would make things difficult for him.So Zhong Jinwei decided to go there with Yan Yingyuan.Of course Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng accompanied him.

The group of them went to the county government office after Mrs. Yan and the others were happily delivered to the door.

When he arrived at the gate of the county government office, he happened to catch his head and went out. When he saw Yan Yingyuan coming, he hurried over to say hello.What happened yesterday left a deep impression on him. The angels from the capital were all respectful to his family, and he couldn't offend him no matter what.

Zhong Jinwei did not step forward to introduce himself, but stood a little behind Yan Yingyuan, with Gu Baichuan and Wang Peng accompanying Zhong Jinwei from left to right.

Seeing that the head catcher didn't make things difficult for Yan Yingyuan, but seemed very attentive instead, Zhong Jinwei was relieved.

The head catcher had no right to decide this matter, so he let them in, and then reported to the county magistrate.

Not long after the county magistrate saw off the angel who came yesterday, he was resting in the back hall, thinking about something on his mind.

At the banquet, he found out the cause and effect of the angel's coming, and at the moment, he had a new understanding of the Yan family under his rule.

Originally, it was only because Ding Yan Yingyuan, the son of the Yan family, was a bit of a martial artist, but he didn't expect that the daughter of the Yan family would be able to save him, and would marry Zhongxing Bo, a celebrity in front of the emperor.It's really not that I, a small county magistrate, can offend him. If I climb up the big tree of Zhongxingbo, when I mention myself before the emperor, I have an impression that my future will be bright.

He was planning when he would go to visit the old lady of the Yan family, and the headhunter came in to report.

When the county magistrate heard this, he immediately changed his clothes and came out to meet him.He didn't dare not be dissatisfied with Yan Yingyuan's request, and he kept praising Yan Yingyuan's contributions and hard work, regretting that he lost a talent and an arm.

Just fulfilling the purpose of coming to the county government in such an amicable manner, Zhong Jinwei did not speak from the beginning to the end.

Yan Yingyuan was very enlightened, and realized that his family had become different from before yesterday.And all of this is probably due to the brother-in-law behind him.

At this time, outside the study of Baoding Hou Mansion in the capital, a servant stood a few feet away, looking around vigilantly, not letting anyone approach the study.

But in the study, it was Baoding Hou Liang Shixun and another person who were plotting.

"Li Fu, you conveyed it correctly. Uncle Zhongxing really went to Tongzhou. Will he rush back to the capital in these two days?"

"Yes, that's what our master asked me to tell Hou Ye."

"Do you know how many people you brought?" Liang Shixun continued to understand the situation.

"I only brought two guards from the East Factory."

"Okay, okay!" Liang Shixun stood up from his seat, and started pacing back and forth excitedly, rubbing his hands together.

After thinking for a while, he said to Li Fu: "I see, you go back and tell Eunuch Li, just say that I will act according to what I said yesterday, and I will not disappoint him."

Seeing this, Li Fu bowed his hands and said goodbye.

Liang Shixun stood in the study for a while, then laughed loudly at the ceiling, "God helped me too!"
