Du San could hear Han Xiufeng and the local gentry clearly. Thinking of the civil servants like Zhang Yiguo and the governor of Huguang Wu Wenxi, and Wu Wenming, the younger brother of Wu Wenrong, Sichuan salt tea ceremony, all put life and death aside. However, he, a fifth-rank military officer who was a martial artist, was so greedy and afraid of death. His cheeks were really hot.

But I am embarrassed to be embarrassed, he doesn't want to die in a foreign land. He just drooped his head and followed Han Xiufeng back to the courtyard in disappointment.

Seeing his eagerness to speak but stopping, Han Xiufeng knew what he wanted to say, and then looked at the six Ba County fellow villagers who had just followed in. He couldn't help but look up and asked, "Brother, what are your plans next?"

"Second brother, I'm not afraid of you making jokes. Brother, I always think of it when I was in the camp. Now I've come out with blessings, and I'm also like a lost soul. I don't have any plans."

"Don't you want to go back early to reunite with your sister-in-law?"

"Why don't you think about it? How can I go back with nothing?" Du San scratched his neck and said embarrassedly: "A Qianli is an official who only seeks wealth. At that time, he came out to make money by becoming an official. Although he has become an official, he has not made any money. What is the use of a person from the fifth rank?"

Thinking about it, what can he do when he returns to his hometown like this? His wife and children still have to eat braised vegetables like before.

Han Xiufeng sighed inwardly, then looked up and asked, "Ding Er, where are you?"

Ding Er was stunned and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Report to Mr. Han, I will listen to you in everything. If you ask the younger one to go back to your hometown, the younger one will go back. If you ask the younger one to stay in the office, the younger one will beg for food with you, Mr. Han."

"Master Han, the younger ones are the same, and the younger ones are also the younger ones to listen to you."

Liu Bengui was brave and couldn't help but say, "Master Han, you are already the deputy master of the economy. You have a battalion under your command, but you don't have many family members around you. The young man doesn't want to go back to his hometown, and the young man wants to work with you."

"So, don't you want to go back to your hometown?"

"Second brother, why did we go back to our hometown without making any money?" Du San said with a bitter face.

Han Xiufeng nodded, pondered for a moment and suddenly smiled: "It's not difficult to make money, and there's no need to be a job with me. But this money is hard-earned money, I don't know if you can endure that hardship."

"Second brother, as long as you can make money, I'm not afraid of suffering, brother!"

"Isn't you really afraid?"

"I'm really not afraid!" Du San said, patting his chest.

Han Xiufeng weighed the pros and cons again, and looked at them with a smile: "You all came from Xiang Shuai. You must know that there are many fellow villagers in Jiangnan Camp, and even some friendship with those fellow villagers. Now they are all military affairs and cannot return to their hometown for a while. Lianjia's letter cannot be found to send them to their hometown. If you are not afraid of hard work, you can go back to Jiangnan Camp and ask those fellow villagers if they want to send letters to their homes."

Du San was stunned and asked with amusement and laughter: "Second brother, how much money can you make by helping send a letter? Besides, Jiangsu is so far from Sichuan, and the road is not peaceful. How long will it take to travel back and forth? That little money is not enough money!"

"I can't make a lot of money by sending messages, but what about helping so many fellow villagers exchange money to their hometowns?" Han Xiufeng asked back and explained with a smile: "There are no five thousand fellow villagers in Jiangnan Daying, but three thousand. Tell me, who don't want to send messages to their homes, and who doesn't want to send money to their homes? This is a big deal. As long as you are not afraid of hardship or fatigue, you can earn three or five thousand taels a year!"

"But they don't necessarily believe me!"

"Where do you think those fellow villagers believe me?"

"Master Liu must believe you, it's hard for others to say."

"Is it not enough to believe Mr. Liu?" Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "This is a business. When doing business, it is about reputation, and reputation is word of mouth! Liu Cunhou believes in me, Han Xiufeng. The Master Xue you mentioned last time will probably believe it. As long as Mr. Liu and Mr. Xue believe us, other fellow villagers will naturally believe it."

"Second brother, as you said this, I found that this is really a good deal. It's not easy to help them bring the money back!"

"You don't have to send it to Sichuan, just help them deliver their family letters and money to Taizhou. You know the Shanxi Dapiao No. 'Risenchang'. Now, someone has set up a semicolon in Taizhou. I'll say hello to the shopkeeper of the Taizhou semicolon. He will send the accountant to go to Jiangnan Daying with you. I will issue a bill of exchange on the spot to Sichuan. It's the safest."

"But after being sent to Sichuan, 'Risenchang' seems to have set up a semicolon in Chengdu and Ba County in our Sichuan."

"We have you from Jiangnan Daying to Taizhou. When the silver is transferred to Ba County, my father-in-law will be there. You can connect this end, my father-in-law will connect the other end of my hometown. The farthest journey in the middle is 'Risenchang'. Tell me how much money is there to remit back?"

"Oh, I almost forgot that your father-in-law is in the government office! Second brother, this business is good, I am not afraid of suffering, so I will do this!" Du San's more excited thinking, and said with a gaze: "And this is not just a business, but also a helping fellow villagers. Maybe even Xiang Shuai will ask us to help him send a message to him and send money to his home."

"Brother, I've given you the way to make money, but you must help others with the matter. It's not a big deal to lose the letter. If there is a mistake in the money, not only will I, Han Xiufeng, be ruined, but you, the people who are in charge, will not have a better life."

"Second brother, I know the importance!" Du San said hurriedly: "We are all doing business from fellow villagers. What we help to send to our hometown is the money we exchanged for with our lives. Not to mention that we are not clean and greedy for other people's money, even if we lose our natural disasters, we can't explain it to others!"

"Just know."

"I know, this is not a joke. Our customers are not just fellow villagers. If they are greedy for other people's money, they will really make money but spend it."

"Since that's the case, I'll write a few letters for you. You will go to Taizhou with my letters first. How to do this transaction of sending home letters and buying silver to Sichuan? The shopkeeper of the Taizhou branch of 'Risenchang' will definitely come up with a charter. You will just listen to him in the future."

"Okay, I'll bother my second brother."

...

Han Xiufeng wrote as soon as he said that, helping Xiao Wuzi and Liu Cunhou wrote the letter, leaving them with lunch, and asked Lu Daming to find a boat to take them to Taizhou.

Ren Yuer never expected Du San and others to leave now. As soon as Han Xiufeng came back from Zhongbakou, she couldn't help asking: "Fourth brother, I finally came to a few fellow villagers. Why did you send them away like this? Why didn't you keep them as a job?"

"You haven't heard that they want to make money. How many taels of silver can they earn in a year when they work as a servant here." Han Xiufeng sighed lightly and smiled, "Therefore, I am different from other officials. Not only do I not need so many families around me, I can't even keep too many families."

"Why can't you stay?" Ren Yuer asked with her big eyes flashing.

"I know your brother can have what I am today, what's the point?"

"You have someone in the court, and you have adults in the capital, and you have Lord Guo in Jiangsu."

"This is a reason, but I won't be today with adults supporting your brother." Han Xiufeng raised his arm and pointed to the Baojia Bureau and said, "At least in Taizhou, I want to be steady and long-term, and I cannot do without the help of local gentry such as Dean Gu. Now I am not following the local customs, but really treat myself as a Hai'an. If Du San and the others stay, even if Dean Gu and the others don't have any ideas, the people below will have ideas."

"It's true!" There was no feeling before. When Han Xiufeng said this, Ren Yuer suddenly realized that Mr. Han was really different from other officials, especially his relationship with local gentry. It was really good. Even those who did business in the town did not regard him as an outsider. Even if he was no longer a local official, he still regarded him as the largest official in Hai'an.

"It's time to do the serious business." Han Xiufeng didn't want to delay his work anymore, and he also read the books sent by Zhang Guangcheng and Pan Er from Taizhou two days ago.

The west wing room was no longer in full bloom, and the main hall was filled with people. This was only a small part of it. Mingdao Academy and Fengshan Academy were as piled up like mountains.

Ren Yuer sat opposite him and laughed while helping to check it out: "Fourth brother, if you know that you have collected so many books in just a few days, there are many precious lonely books among them. Those scholars who can't afford to read books will be envious of them."

"Don't talk about those scholars, if I had been three or five years ago, I would even be envious of myself." When talking about this, Han Xiufeng looked up at the books all over the room and couldn't help but smile: "I've sent it all over, don't expect me to send it back to them again. When I retire in two years and return to my hometown, I have to bring all these books back to Ba County. With so many books in my Han family, my family is not a scholarly family but also a scholarly family!"

"How big is the study room to put so many books down?"

"It's true, but there are some ways. People retire and return to their hometown to build bridges and pave roads, and do good deeds every day. I won't build bridges and pave roads. I want to go back to Zouma's hometown to build a college and donate funds to support education!"

...

Talking and laughing, time passes quickly, and the sun sets in a blink of an eye.

Han Xiufeng asked Ren Yu'er to go back early as usual. After Ren Yu'er returned, she couldn't help but quarrel with Yu Sangu, and she dragged it until dark before leaving. Unexpectedly, she had just left. Chu Chenggui and Guan Renhai, who should have been working in the Yunsi and the State Department, not only came back, but also brought two uninvited guests.

"Master Fu, why are you here?"

"Don't you miss you?" Fugui hurriedly received the letter from Huang Zhongyin and others to send him, and said excitedly: "Fourth Master, I heard that you were promoted to deputy of Lianghuai Transportation, Master Huang, Master Ji and Master Ao, and they didn't know how happy they were. Not only did they set off firecrackers to celebrate, they also set up several tables of banquets, invite the men in Beijing, Director Zhang of the Provincial Pavilion, and even the neighbors of the Guild Hall were invited!"

"Yeah?"

"What do you lie to you? As soon as I received the invitation, I ran to the club. I was drunk that night."

Han Xiufeng nodded, and while he was greeting him, he asked, "Master Fu, aren't you working as a job in Chongwen Sect? You're not going to do the job in Chongwen Sect?"

"No one knows the errands, but you know the Fourth Master, how could you do it for too long? I thought that I wouldn't do it for a few days, so I used some money to ask the men of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help with another errand. As a result, people said that there was a lack of members in Yangzhou Pass, and no one would want to come. I asked me if I would."

"Master Fu, I think you're fooled."

"What fool is it?"

Han Xiufeng couldn't help laughing and said, "Yangzhou was occupied by bandits, and the canal has been blocked. Now, no commercial goods have passed through Yangzhou. I heard that grain must be transported by sea. Those checkpoints in Yangzhou were either occupied by bandits or stopped levy. Whose tax do you have to travel thousands of miles to collect?"

"I know all this."

"Since you know why you are coming?"

"I am idle if I don't come to Beijing," Fugui took the tea I had just brewed from Chu Chenggui and smiled: "Yangzhou Pass has stopped levying now, and I can't collect taxes now, but it will be repaid sooner or later. Others don't know, Fourth Master, you know that I have been waiting for the Chongwenmen errand for eight years. It's really nothing to wait for a year and a half for Yangzhou Pass."

Han Xiufeng reacted and couldn't help but point at him and smiled: "I remembered it, but I almost forgot that you are either not open for your job. You don't have to eat for three years, but you can eat for ten years!"

"I am laughing at the Fourth Master. I have a family to raise. I have no choice but to do this. Of course, I can't compare with you." Seeing Jing Hua coming together, he stopped talking. Fugui quickly put down the teacup and turned around and introduced: "Four Master, I almost forgot that this is my brother-in-law Jing Hua. When I renovated the guild hall, I helped you to pull things from the officials' houses. Do you still remember?"

"I said why are you so familiar? It turns out that it's your brother-in-law."

"Jinghua has met Mr. Han."

Seeing his brother-in-law getting up and kneeling down, Han Xiufeng hurriedly stood up and held him up: "It's not allowed to be used, Brother Jinghua, if you remember correctly, you seem to be a royal nobleman, I, Han Xiufeng, dare not accept your gift."

Before Jing Hua could speak, Fugui said angrily: "What royal family is a sloppy royal family that is so poor that he is a idle royal family. If I hadn't helped him over the years, he would not be able to even have food, and he would not be able to support his wife and children!"

"Brother-in-law, why don't you open the pot and bring it up..." Jing Hua said with a bitter face.

"What are you embarrassed to say to the Fourth Master? If you don't tell the Fourth Master the truth, you won't know?" Fugui asked back, then turned around and said, "Fourth Master, if your sister-in-law hadn't been nagging in her ears every day, I wouldn't have brought him here. In order to help him leave the capital, I not only pay for money, but also have to help him ask the old men in the clan's mansion to spend fifty taels of silver!"

Thinking that the idle royal family is also a royal family, and the same surname as the emperor, Aisin Gioro, is not allowed to be forty miles away from Beijing under normal circumstances, Han Xiufeng asked curiously: "Master Fu, what reason did Brother Jinghua borrow to leave Beijing this time?"

"What other reasons can there be besides going to Jiangbei Camp to serve?"

"Then is there an imperial envoy who went to Qishan?"

"No," Jing Hua said anxiously before Fugui spoke: "Second Master, do you think I can fight like this? Besides, I have old men and young men, and I dare not die or die. I wouldn't dare to go with a few courages."

"If you don't go to Jiangbei Daying to report, what will happen if the Zongren Mansion investigates it?"

"So I want to ask the Fourth Master, you can do something to see if you can help him with an errand." Fugui said with anticipation.

Han Xiufeng was ridiculous and said with a bitter face: "Mr. Fu, Brother Jinghua has a noble status and is a fourth-rank rank in his birth! Either you don't become an official, you can only be a fourth-rank rank or above. You asked me to be a fifth-rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank rank , isn't this a joke?"

"There are too many people in the fourth rank, and Jing Hua doesn't have to be a civil servant, but he can't do it even if he wants to do it. Fourth Master, please help me to see if I can help him find a fourth rank military officer who doesn't have to go to war."

"Yes, Fourth Master, if I hadn't been able to make it, I wouldn't have come all the way to ask you."

Thinking that the Salt Catch Camp was missing a Dusi, and the Dusi was always empty, and there was no suitable candidate for a while. Even if there was a suitable candidate, he could not easily ask Lord Guo to protect the report. After all, no matter what, it was the fourth rank in the end. Han Xiufeng's eyes lit up: "I can help with the solution, but I can't hurry up."

Fugui thought Han Xiufeng wanted money, so he put it in Han Xiufeng's ear and said, "Fourth Master, I know, I know, it's not that easy to do errands. I understand those rules, but I just helped Jing Hua's money on his way to Taizhou, so I really can't afford the money to do. But don't worry, when he becomes Shangguan, he will get as much as he should. If he can't take it out, you can find me!"

"Master Fu, you misunderstood. What kind of friendship do you have with me? Your business is mine. Isn't it a slap in the face when talking about money?"

"Fourth Master, friendship belongs to friendship, rules belongs to rules."

"Since you are talking about the rules when it comes to friendship, you are really a rule. But it is not that you have to spend a lot of money on your plan, but that you can't make much money after you make a plan."

"It's not to forget that you can make a living if you have an errand!"

"Yes, Fourth Master, I just want to make a living."
