The old friend bid farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower, and the fireworks are coming to Yangzhou in March!

Last year, when he entered Beijing to invest in the offering, Han Xiufeng took a boat to Wuchang. He looked up at the bow of the boat, the Yellow Crane Tower, which was located on the top of Snake Mountain. Then he arrived in Yangzhou, and changed his boat at the wharf outside Yangzhou City to go north along the Grand Canal. He neither went to the official businessman to travel, and the Yellow Crane Tower, which had "must be traveled" and "feasted be served" did not enter Yangzhou City. A few days ago, he went to Jiangning and passed by Yangzhou City again, and once again passed by Yangzhou City, which was the "three-point moonlight in the world" and had two parts.

This time I didn't miss it again, and finally saw the prosperity of Yangzhou. It was just that the Chinese New Year was about to be held, so I couldn't wait until the yamen sealed it before going to Hai'an to take office. I found the Yangzhou branch of "Risenchang" and sent my family letter. I didn't even go to the world's famous Shrimp West Lake, so I rushed to Taizhou again. I was really in a hurry and I went there.

I thought Taizhou was just a small city, but I didn’t expect that Taizhou City would be more prosperous than the county government office, the government office and the road office.

There is a dam outside the city. The twenty salts from Huainan are transported here, and all of them must be approved by the salt officials in Taizhou, located in the Salt Transport Department, and then the civilians will carry them to the opposite side of the dam to load the ship.

In the cold winter, the dam was as lively as the Chaotianmen Wharf, and the civilians were busy. The sound of trumpets and the hawkers who were doing business on both sides of the dam were one after another.

From the General Tower to the city, the streets in the city are not only wide but also paved with stone slabs. Lujia Noodle Shop, Caojia Flower Shop, Tongfu Satin Shop, Yongtai Cloth Village, Yongyu Satin Shop, Zhang Yuanbao Copper and Tin Walk, Huizhou Hongsan Tea House, Ruilin Pharmacy, Tianbao Silver House... Both sides of the street are full of shops, and there is no end at a glance, and pedestrians are flowing endlessly.

What Han Xiufeng did not expect was that there were also many yamen in the city.

Not only the state office, but also the supervisory office of the Lianghuai Salt Transport Department and the Yangzhou Third Guard General Administration of the Grain Transport Department. Even the Yangzhou Prefecture's Examination Institute is in Taizhou. Under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou Prefecture, scholars from Jiangdu, Ganquan, Yizhen, Gaoyou, Xinghua, Baoying, Taizhou and Dongtai all want to take the exam for scholars.

Han Xiufeng brought Pan Er, Datou and Zhang Shiheng to the front of the state yamen, and suddenly turned around and said, "Changsheng, you and Shiheng don't have to go in with me. There must be a blacksmith shop in the city. You can find someone to find out where the blacksmith shop is, and go find a blacksmith to get fifty handcuffs and shackles."

"What are you doing with so many handcuffs and shackles?"

"It will be difficult to explain for a while, but it will be of great use anyway!"

"But that's fifty mates, not five mates, and I can't beat them in a short while." Pan Er said with a bitter face.

Han Xiufeng looked back at the yamen runner hiding in the corner of the state yamen gate basking in the sun, and said lightly: "If you don't go to Hai'an today, when will the fifty pairs of handcuffs and shackles be cleaned? When will we go to Hai'an to take office?"

"Then you have to find a place to live first."

"This is natural. When things are done, you come here to wait for me."

I don’t know if it’s getting closer to Hai'an or if it’s Taizhou State Office in front of me. Pan Er felt that Han Si had become a different person. He really had an official power in every move. He didn’t dare to ask again. He hurriedly said, “Okay, Shiheng and I will go to the blacksmith shop first.”

Han Xiufeng smiled slightly, then tidied up his clothes and walked to the Yimen Gate with his big head.

"What are you doing, are you complaining?" the yamen runner asked subconsciously.

"I am here to take office. Please inform me and say that Han Xiufeng, the inspector of Hai'an, pays homage to Mr. Zhang."

"You... are you Mr. Han Xiufeng?"

"That's right." Han Xiufeng took out the official document of Guai Guai of Liangjiang Governor-General, and handed it on with a smile.

The yamen runner was illiterate and took the official document. Looking at Han Xiufeng, who was not only not wearing official uniforms but also wearing a little shabby outfit, he asked suspiciously: "Are you really Mr. Han?"

"If you don't change your name or your surname, I am the new inspector of the Hai'an Inspection Department, Han Xiufeng!"

It’s true and fake. Even if the fake one is eaten by Xiong Xin and Leopard, he dare not come to the yamen to cheat. The yamen runner dared not neglect and hurriedly said: “The young one has no eyes but does not recognize Taishan. Mr. Han must not be surprised. Mr. Han invites you to lead the way.”

"It's not a big deal for those who don't know." Han Xiufeng asked as he walked, "Is the master here?"

"Are you, Master Han, in the morning, why haven't you come yet today? The official documents from the Taiwan Making Office have arrived early. Master sent someone to Hai'an to inform Mr. Fang a few days ago and asked Mr. Fang to send someone to Jiangyan to welcome you."

“The road was delayed.”

Han Xiufeng said perfunctorily, signaling Datou to wait in the doorman, and then stalked into the lobby.

The yamen runner winked with the soap yamen runner on duty and said with a flattering smile: "Master Han, please wait in the hall. The younger one will come in to report to you first."

"Go."

The yamen in the world were almost the same. Han Xiufeng stood in the lobby and waited for a moment. A Confucian scholar in his thirties walked in with a smile and bowed and said, "Master Han, it's awaiting you. Please move to the second hall. My father is waiting for you."

"Master Han, this is the second son of the master."

"So it's the second young master, I'm so respectful!"

"How dare you?" Although Zhang Er is the second son of the prefect, he is neither an official nor a fame, so he dare not take airs in front of Han Xiufeng. While leading the way, he said a little embarrassedly: "Master Han, my father encountered a cold incident. If he has something to do later, please forgive me."

Han Xiufeng asked during Yizhen that the boss who was about to meet was named Zhang and named Zhigao, from Qiantang, Zhejiang. Not only was he aged tribute, but he was already in his sixties, with a dizzy eyes and a little bit of ears. It was a miracle that he could be a magistrate at such a background and at such an age, so no one dared to offend him.

However, in Han Xiufeng's opinion, this was not a bad thing. He was about to speak and had followed the second hall. When he looked up, he saw that his boss was not just a cold encounter, but was very sick. He was wrapped in a quilt and lying in the Taishi chair, his face was covered with old-fashioned spots, his forehead was full of wrinkles, and his hands were exposed to the outside, and his skin was skinny and bone-skinned.

"Xiufeng pays homage to the master." Han Xiufeng was stunned and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"Han... Brother Han has no... no need to be polite, Guangcheng, and... still... not to invite Mr. Han to sit there, so why not... please... please help Mr. Han to use tea."

"Please, Mr. Han."

"Brother Zhang, you and I are the same age, so don't slap Mr. Han one by one." Han Xiufeng looked up at Zhang Er, then leaned over and said, "Master, you are in poor health. You can't catch a cold anymore. Why don't you go to the inner hall to rest first? If you have any questions, let the second young master tell Xiufeng."

"This... how can this be done? I... I also want to welcome Brother Han... to clean up the dust."
