The fire in July, and the hot June passed, and the weather became colder day by day. These days, Du Zhongxiao stayed in the military city, dealing with the backlog of government affairs over the years and straightening out political affairs. The previous few military officers were all military generals, and there were several illiterate people. The political affairs were rough, leaving many hidden dangers, and they didn't even know their household registration. Du Zhongxiao spent nearly a month to sort out various account books.

The Volcanic Army had only 3,000 households. In the previous life, it was a larger village. How many things could it have? The difficult part was that the land was close to the border areas, with archers, rural soldiers, ordinary people, Han people, and foreign people, and the entries were messy.

In the south of the city, Dong Lin looked at the military city not far ahead and couldn't help but burst into tears: "I'm sorry to see, I've been running around for dozens of days, so I've been back safely! If there is a mistake along the way, what's my life? I'm afraid my family will suffer!"

After saying that, he said to the dozens of porters behind him: "There is the military city ahead. Please try your best to transport the goods into the city. I invite you to drink and eat meat! Although the place is remote, there is good wine and excellent mutton!"

A porter wiped his sweat and said, "There will be a big profit this time, and the old man will make a profit."

The porters laughed and flattered Dong Lin, and the atmosphere was much more lively.

Dong Lin shook his head repeatedly, unable to say anything, but let everyone rest and hurry on the road. This time he went to Bingzhou, he was originally borrowed from Feng Yuan's caravan to carry goods, but he didn't expect that Dong Lin would finish his work and exchange money. Feng Yuan was still doing business there, and he didn't know when. Du Zhongxiao had a time limit, and if he exceeded the deadline, he would be fined. Where could Dong Lin wait? He had to hire dozens of porters to carry the exchanged iron coins back to the Volcano Army. He did not dare to tell the porters that the goods were money, and he was frightened along the way, so he went to night and stayed overnight. Many luck came back safely.

After entering the military city, Dong Lin took the porter to the military city yamen. The gatekeeper recognized it and hurried to report to Du Zhongxiao.

He ordered Dong Lin to bring people to take the money to the military treasury, and Du Zhongxiao rushed over.

When Dong Lin saw Du Zhongxiao coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Let the officials bless you, the young man will return safely! There is no protection for the soldiers along the way, only the young man and a few servants, carrying thousands of guan of money, I don't know how much frightened he was! Fortunately, his ancestors had spirits, and were in danger!"

Du Zhongxiao was kind to comfort him, knowing that his hard work would be rewarded later. In fact, Dong Lin and his group brought dozens of iron coins with low value, so there were no blind robbers robbed them. But when they were just a word of money, people were extra careful, and Dong Lin was just scaring himself.

Walking forward, Du Zhongxiao ordered the public officials to open the bamboo basket placed on the ground, but it was wheat. He was stunned.

Dong Lin hurried forward, spread the wheat grains on it, revealing the iron coins below, and said, "I was afraid that someone would want to see the money, so I bought some wheat and covered it on it. This is true in these baskets, so the official can count it out."

Du Zhongxiao ordered Confucius to take out the iron coins in the basket with Dong Lin, count them on the side, and make an account and enter the military fund treasury.

This time, the iron money transported to the Volcano Army was only more than 7,000 guan, and the freight cost hundreds of guan, which was extremely shocking. Seeing the official Kongmu and the porter settled the wages, Dong Lin was worried. He was the yamen, and the escort official goods were servants, and the freight losses could be calculated on his own. Du Zhongxiao could completely exchange the amount of money settled in Bingzhou, and Dong Lin would make up for the insufficient amount. The reason why the yamen was a heavy service was that someone with family property was responsible for the responsibility.

After seeing Dong Lin's expression, Du Zhongxiao knew it very well and said to him: "If you do business for the yamen, it is natural that the yamen will pay for it. Don't worry, you handle this matter very well, and I will reward you. By the way, these wheats are used to the Minister's warehouse now."

Dong Lin let out a sigh and thanked Du Zhongxiao for his gratitude. He handed over the official documents and left with the porter. He is one of the major households in the military city and has hundreds of taxes of property. He said before that he would not break his promise.

Seeing Dong Lin greeting the porters, Du Zhongxiao called over and asked, and said with a smile: "How can you spend money when doing things for the yamen? Qian Kongmu paid some money from the minister Curry, took Dong Lin with him to the restaurant in front to use some wine and meals."

Qian Kongmu crossed his hands and sang No. 1, and with Dong Lin, he brought dozens of porters out of the yamen.

Cheng Wenli, who was following him, saw everyone leaving and said to Du Zhongxiao: "Officials, I spent hundreds of stagnants to transport this money. How do you explain it? In the past, the yamen were transported by the yamen and the yamen to pay some grain and rice. If the yamen and the porter were hired, he was not good at doing things well, so he should pay the money himself."

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "It is extremely rare to have Bingzhou collected our goods and sent money in time. How could they send the Xiang army again? How many families in a small place like the Volcano Army? If the freight costs in front of the yamen will definitely lose all their money. I have to worry about this matter, so I'd better make up the money from him. Besides, he has transported a lot of wheat grains, and the recent surge in the face price in the city can also offset a lot."

The wheat that dozens of people picked was one or two thousand kilograms. These days, eating pasta is popular in the military city, and the wheat price has soared several times, and the money earned by wheat is dozens of stagnant, which is enough for these people to eat and drink on the way back.

Qian Kongmu took Dong Lin and others to Jiuqu Pavilion and said to him: "Fortunately, I know that the officers are kind-hearted, otherwise you will be afraid that your family business will be difficult to protect. Drink it today and don't get drunk!"

Dong Lin saluted repeatedly: "What Kongmu said is that the officials are kind and the young ones will never forget them!"

As the two of them spoke, they entered the restaurant. The porters were hardworking, so where had they ever entered such a restaurant? They were all waiting at the door and did not dare to enter. Qian Kongmu just thought it was invisible and went to the counter with Dong Lingui.

Zhou Xintian, a short-sighted man in the yamen, saw Qian Kongmu coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

Qian Kongmu pointed to Dong Lin and said, "I worked in Bingzhou for an errand. It was really hard. You prepare a table of wine and food to invite him. You who are familiar with him call him together to celebrate his achievements. All the accounts will be recorded with me."

Zhou Xintian said it was. This restaurant was originally under the Minister's Library, that is, Du Zhongxiao asked for the account to be clear, otherwise where would the money be used here? The daily entertainment of the yamen was originally here.

Qian Kongmu said again: "There are dozens of porters outside who work for the yamen. The officials told them to use some wine and rice. You prepare a small bowl of white wine for each of them and a large bowl of noodles. Remember to have a few slices of meat in each bowl. By the way, each person has another pancake, so you must eat enough!"

Zhou Xintian nodded repeatedly and wrote down one by one. Qian Kongmu specifically emphasized the word "Food" in the word "Food" at the back. The meaning is very clear. It is impossible for so many people to eat well. As long as they are guaranteed to eat enough, they can submit their own work.

After giving the order, Qian Kongmu said, "You can prepare wine and food here first. I will have some things to do when I go back to the yamen. Come here in half an hour."

With Dong Lin, Qian Kongmu was sent away, and Zhou Xintian said: "What is my brother doing this trip? I only heard that he went to Bingzhou, why did he work for Kongmu to come and arrange a wedding banquet for you? This is not a common thing."

Dong Lin said with emotion: "Brother, don't mention it, just know that I'm going to die forever. With this opportunity, all of us who work in the yamen call us and we're drunk today!"
