The days when I fished in Daming

Chapter 147 Borrowing Money
After the group left, they left behind a messy scene and the hungry bodyguards.

Seeing everyone's embarrassment, Wei Hong approached the stove, cooked millet porridge, put together the leftover mutton chops, and boiled a pot of pork rib soup.

Eating as much as I can, although it is much worse than mutton, I can control my fullness anyway, and it is much better than the days of being a corvee, but there is a gap in my heart.

Everyone arranged for a good meal, Wei Hong put down the affairs in hand, and came to Zheng Xiong.

"I'm done with my work. I'll come to propose marriage tomorrow. Are you excited?"

"It's like a dream, I don't know if it's right or wrong, I hope you are a good person!"

"It's not a good guy, at least he's not a bad guy."

"Uh, can you regret it?"

"It's late, your neighbors already know about it, so why do you want to regret it now?"

"Ah."

Seeing that Wei Hong was speechless, Zheng Xiong secretly took Wei Hong's little hand in his hand, and stroked it gently.

Wei Hong resisted a little, then let Zheng Xiong play with it.

It's a bit rough, one can imagine that Wei Hong's life of dragging a few younger brothers is definitely not easy.

After being gentle for a while, Zheng Xiong opened his mouth.

"It's getting late, go to bed early, I'm busy tomorrow."

"Ah."

Even though there were thousands of words, Wei Hong at this time didn't know where to start, and could only follow Zheng Xiong's arrangement.

There is no doubt that Wei Hong will have another sleepless night tonight.

As soon as it was daylight, Zheng Xiong was woken up by the human body alarm clock of the bodyguards, resisting drowsiness, for the first time, he did not get lazy, and got up early to take a shower.

After saying hello to Wei Hong, he took the clerk and a few bodyguards to the inn in Ying County to take out the clothes he had brought, and rode on a tall horse and hurried to Yanmen Pass.

Zheng Xiong didn't take the scenery along the way into his mind, and just headed towards Yanmen Pass with a sullen head.

At noon in the morning, Zheng Xiong, who was in a hurry, first went to the military camp to deal with the accumulated affairs.

Nothing major happened, except for the wounded soldiers being sent one after another, and these were handled by Li Si and Yang Yitian, and Zheng Xiong didn't need to worry about them.

Seeing that everything was as usual, Zheng Xiong came to the government office.

Zhang Huaiyuan got the news of Zheng Xiong's coming, put down his official duties, and summoned Zheng Xiong.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know how the past few days have been."

Although he knew the news that Zheng Xiong skipped work and went to play, but Zhang Huaiyuan was not a nosy person, and he didn't mean to trouble Zheng Xiong, just chatting with his usual expression.

"The scenery of Yanmen Pass is pretty good. I have been visiting everywhere in the past few days. It was a worthwhile trip."

"Oh, Tiling, can you tell me that my official, Tian, ​​was promoted to Yanmen Pass, and I haven't visited it properly yet."

"There's no rush for this. I'll let you know when I have time. There's a big matter right now that I need to call up for your help."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Then I'm welcome."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Xiong rubbed his hands together and said embarrassedly.

"I didn't bring any money when I came out. I want to borrow some money from Mr. Titiao. It's about 100 taels of silver. Copper coins are also fine."

Borrowing money as soon as he came up, made Zhang Huaiyuan stunned on the spot, but it was easy to say it, and it was not easy to refuse on the spot, so he could only say it tactfully.

"I also know about the withdrawal. Our salary for one year is only so little, it is not much when converted into silver, and we still have a large family to support. If we still have ten taels and 20 taels, 100 taels of silver is too much."

"It's not in vain, how about nine times out and thirteen times back, the 100 taels will be returned to you when I return to Yingtian Mansion."

I can't refuse it, the interest is high, and Zheng Xiong's family background is not bad, not only can he make money, but he can also get favors.

"What do you want to do with the money? If there are any difficulties, I still have a bit of face in Yanmenguan."

"I just told Ti Tiao that something important happened, but Ti Tiao still remembers."

"Remember, I haven't had time to ask, why is it necessary to withdraw the borrowed money?"

"My lord Titiao would like to come to understand. The official is already in his twenties, and this important matter in life has not been resolved. Not only is the family anxious, but the official is also anxious."

"No, after going out for a few days, I happened to meet a woman I like, and borrow some money to solve the major issues in my life."

It turned out that such a big event scared me, thinking that the Yuan army was coming.

"I can help you with this favor. I don't have that much money, about fifty pennies of money, and it's fine if I get out of nine or thirteen returns."

If interest is not charged, it is a pure favor. After weighing the pros and cons, Zheng Xiong still accepts it. After all, Zheng Xiong doesn't know how much money he can borrow this year.

"Thank you, sir, for the transfer. I'm in a hurry. I don't know how long it will take for the transfer."

"and many more."

"You Er, go to the cashier and get 50 taels of silver for Zheng to withdraw."

"Yes, sir."

"Now, the withdrawal is satisfied."

"Satisfied, there is still a small matter that I would like to trouble you to transfer to the adults."

"Everything that can be done is done for you."

Having borrowed all the money, Zhang Huaiyuan didn't mind being a favor. Favors are a good thing in officialdom.

"There are a few boys in the woman's family who were brought up by their elder sister. They want to buy a house for them so that their elder sister can rest assured. I don't know if there is a way to transfer an adult."

"where is it?"

"Ying County."

"The county magistrate of that place seems to be a member of the same department as yours. My greeting is not as useful as your visit."

"Ah, I really don't know about this, there is no intersection."

"You have a great reputation. You are the most mentioned by the county magistrate in my jurisdiction. Don't you know how fast you are promoted? You are not even the number one scholar. You are the motivation for them to do things."

"I don't know, I will visit tomorrow, thank you for your guidance."

"Speaking of this, I am also convinced of the ability of Tiling. Just this time the wounded soldiers were rescued and many people were rescued, not to mention Tiling's past achievements. It can be said that the ancient genius doctors are not as good as you. It is really a blessing for the people of the world."

"Your Excellency is absurd, I am ashamed to take it."

"My lord, it's not convenient to carry copper coins. This is 50 taels of silver."

"Well, give me some money."

"No, you still can't help but be confused by the transfer, so I will write an IOU to you."

As it should be, fifty guan is considered a huge sum of money, and no one is rich, especially the officials under Lao Zhu.

The most famous IOU is Yan Zhenqing's "Begging Rice Tie": I am too humble to make a living, and the whole family eats porridge. It has been several months.Now the chime is exhausted, only to worry about frying, and to rely on affection.Therefore, it is very difficult to make a complaint to benefit Shaomi.Still forgive me for bothering you.It's true.

Zheng Xiong doesn't have Yan Zhenqing's calligraphic background, and he is definitely not as valuable as Yan Zhenqing's IOU. Influenced by later generations, it is simple and direct.

Today, I borrowed Yanmen Pass to transfer 50 taels of silver coins from Mr. Zhang Huaiyuan, and set up the words as evidence.

After signing and stamping with his private seal, a simple IOU was released and handed to Zhang Huaiyuan.

"The IOU for withdrawal is really different, so I will accept it."

"Thank you for the reminder, sir."

"It's okay, major events in life are not trivial, I will help if I can."
