After the Golden Mouse left, Shi Zhongkui took the nine pumpkins on the table into the space farm, and then tried to change the shape of the pumpkins with his mind.

Although it was feasible this time, it was also quite laborious.

When thousands of slightly different golden melon seeds weighing one penny were put into the warehouse, the other eight only changed their shapes slightly and were thrown into the warehouse.

After a while, Xue Pan ran in again, "Brother, everything seems to be fine outside."

Shi Zhongkui pretended to be serious and nodded. Xue Pan and Shun'er had previously come back to report every two or three quarters of an hour, and then they were sent out to inquire about the news again.

In addition, the golden-haired rat is a clever person who has been hiding in the wild for decades. If he wants to find him, he can only find him accurately by relying on his magical powers.

Walking out of the study, he saw Shun'er, three servants from the Yu family, and a dozen boys and servants from the Xue family, each holding a stick or even a long stool as a weapon for self-defense.

Shi Zhongkui simply took off the sleeves of his robe, casually took out dozens of melon seeds worth one penny each, which were only a few dozen taels of silver, and rewarded them to Shun'er, the four of them, and the servants of the Xue family.

"Thank you uncle for the reward."

"Thank you, uncle, for the reward."

After getting the golden melon seeds, even Shun'er was so happy that she smiled crookedly, not to mention being scared and even afraid of Shi Zhongkui's Xue family servants.

Jin Guazi, who received two taels of silver each, couldn't help but think, it seems that my uncle is actually very talkative.

As for the two young men around Xue Pan, they were seeking death themselves, and they actually dared to deceive Wenquxing's uncle who had descended to earth.

"Yu Shun, you take people to prepare some food. Don't drink wine tonight. When you have nothing to do tomorrow, go to the restaurant to order a few tables of food and wine and come back, and have a good meal in peace."

Many servants nodded happily again.

While waiting for Xue Pan to return to the study again, Xue Pan suddenly asked, "Does my brother still have some golden melon seeds? Can I give some to my brother to see?"

Shi Zhongkui threw four or five golden melon seeds on the desk thoughtfully. Sure enough, Xue Pan picked them up and looked at them, and asked with some surprise, "These golden melon seeds were made by the craftsman that brother asked for. Can you explain to me?"

Have you met my little brother?"

"Tell me what you want to do first?"

Xue Pan chuckled and said, "Brother, I don't know. Usually, making a thousand silver melon seeds only costs 3 taels of silver. If you want to engrave them, you can add another 2 taels."

Even if the craftsmen mix in a few taels of miscellaneous silver, everyone will accept it.

After all, this is an industry rule. On the one hand, there will be losses when making new melon seeds. On the other hand, some silver ingots themselves have different qualities. You have no idea whether the craftsmen have mixed them with anything.

But golden melon seeds are different. Whether they are mixed with copper or other things, a discerning master can see the difference at a glance.

So obviously golden melon seeds are better to make, but the labor cost is 20 taels of silver, and they are not as shiny as the golden melon seeds in my brother's hand."

Shi Zhongkui understood it as soon as he heard it, but he had no intention of helping Xue Pan renovate and deal with gold and silver.

He also remembered that after he passed the examination as a scholar last time, Xue Pan spent more than a thousand taels of silver to reward the messengers and passers-by.

He changed the subject and said, "If you want to reward this servant, I will send someone a thousand to your place tomorrow. The rest is not something you can plan."

Seeing Shi Zhongkui opening his mouth to give himself a thousand taels of silver, Xue Pan said with some emotion, "My brother is the first person in these years to sincerely give his brother a piece of silver."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, go to bed early after dinner, and when you go home tomorrow, remember to account for my mother-in-law, Baochai, and my close servants and maids.

If you are disobedient or feel uneasy, send them to the south. As for the two boys from last time, you finally send them far away."

"Don't worry, brother. As long as I let them go to Yunnan and Guizhou to receive the goods, I guarantee that they will burst into tears and their families will not get into trouble."

"Yeah." Shi Zhongkui understood immediately upon hearing this that the benefits of traveling to Yunnan and Guizhou would be considerable.

But there is actually no way to prevent it. Things that cost one tael of silver this year may rise or fall in price next year.

Unless you go there in person, the shopkeeper will always find a way to deduct the money.

Of course, don't think that traveling to Yunnan and Guizhou is a good thing. There are too many people who die in foreign countries these days.

Malaria or a cold can kill you. People are taking such huge risks to help you make money. Only fools would do it if there is no benefit.

No matter how loyal a servant is, he will always get some benefits over time.

But just being greedy for money is enough.

Shi Zhongkui nodded reassuringly and discussed some details with Xue Pan. After Yu Shun brought four dishes, one soup and rice, he finished eating and went back to his room to put away the pumpkin that the Chinchilla had sent earlier.

I made two thousand golden melon seeds and put them in two wooden boxes, and then I slept peacefully.

He was sleeping soundly, but the outside world was a mess.

When the eunuch was ordered to bring a half-dead man back to life, Xia Shouzhong was slapped several times by the palace guards who used baskets and ropes to lower the palace wall.

"You brought a dying man on a mission, how could I tell the emperor that this matter was related to the former prince?"

The eunuch who was slapped several times in front of the embroidered guard was not only not angry, but said helplessly, "My dear, it's not that I'm weak, but those people are really crazy.

With a huge reward and the promise of promotion, 200 embroidered guards rushed in, surrounded and killed about 20 rebellious people who were roasted on fire, and actually killed 9 people and injured 51 people.

Moreover, there must have been many dead soldiers among that group of people, shouting Bai Lian's slogans, even if their bodies were on fire, they would have a backrest before they died.

When the servants looked at the door, they all sweated for the embroidered guard."

As soon as these words came out, all the embroidered guards present showed their grateful eyes.

"Okay." Xia Shouzhong didn't care about this. Anyway, the rewards and promotions of the embroidered clothes guards had their own decisions.

But the mission was not perfect, and when the eunuch was ordered to be unlucky, he was also the one to be unlucky.

Then he thought of something and asked, "Is the fire out?"

The eunuch who obeyed the order nodded hurriedly, "I'm not that stupid. After the Xiuyi Guards rushed in, I asked people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division to come over with a water tanker.

Although several rooms where the servants lived were burned down, the main room, bedrooms and study are all still there. If you look carefully, you might be able to find something."

"Go find it," Xia Shouzhong screamed, "even if you dig three feet, you still have to find what the emperor wants."

The eunuch who obeyed the order did not hesitate this time. What he was most afraid of was that Xia Shouzhong would put all the blame on himself.

Now that we have the confidence, there is room for redemption.

As for a few embroidered clothing guards from thousands households and hundreds of households, they also know that they can’t be found, so why can’t they forge evidence?

Besides, to forge evidence, you don’t have to forge letters. Some evidence that is ambiguous and makes people think about it is better.

But what neither the ordered eunuch nor the embroidered guard expected was that when they found the underground gold storage room, they actually found a bronze waist medal that only senior ladies in the palace would have.
