Section 156: Snakes have their way, and rats have their way

After assigning the task.
Han Jiang bowed: "Thank you all."
Chen Yuran gave Han Jiang a black face: "This is my official's business."
Han Jiang smiled but said nothing.
Back at the wharf, Cui Yiye, Chen Yuran, Chen Ziqiang, and Cheng Song went to the prefecture government office with the corresponding official documents. The official documents must be submitted first when formal inspections are conducted.
Han Jiang stood by the water with his hands behind his back: "Han Si."
"The little one is."
Han Jiang ordered: "Choose the best Xiuzhou silver carp and put the soup and feast the balls tonight. The meat in the jar must not be missing. The famous Dongpo pork is actually learned this. Look at the arrangement of desserts, since you are out to play with delicious food," he said.
Han Si was stunned for a moment. Isn’t this here to do a big deal?
Han Si wanted to ask, and Shidazu, who happened to come over, glared at him. Han Si quickly replied: "Yes, let's make arrangements." After that, Han Si retreated to make arrangements.
Shi Dazu walked to Han Jiang: "Shaojun, I have already reported the post office according to the post station rules, and the excess staff has also packed a small courtyard. I wonder if Shaojun plans to stay here for a few days."
Han Jiang turned his head and said, "Brother Dazu, how many days do you think?"
Shidazu and Han Jiang stood side by side: "If you rely on them four, you will either leave in a mess or a month."
Han Jiang asked: "Brother Dazu, how about five days?"
"Very good. I'll make arrangements now." Starzu responded and left.
When Shi Dazu left, he met Han Qi. Han Qi asked, "Didn't you have any tricks? Why didn't you say anything?"
Shidazu smiled and said, "Young Master is confident, so I don't need to say much. What's more, my method may not be better than Shao Master, but those four people cannot." Why can't it work, Shidazu didn't explain.
Han Qi didn't ask either.
Han Qi cares about other things.
Han Qi ran to Han Jiang and said, "Uncle, didn't you ask me to receive gifts? Why didn't you let me go?"
"Don't want to be idle?"
"I want to be idle, but I want to be busy receiving gifts."
Han Jiang asked again: "By the way, what objects do you like?"
Han Qi smiled and said, "There is nothing I like, I like the process of receiving gifts."
Han Jiang laughed heartily: "Okay, help me with something. Arrange people to catch some mice. Don't need too many, just a dozen of them will be fine. Then starve the mice. There is enough water pipes, but I must not be fed. I have great use."
“Sounds interesting.”
"Of course, those four fools will definitely come back in a mess. I remember that if you want to be a good official, you must be more treacherous and deceitful than a traitor, a dirty official. Chen Yuran is too strong and straightforward, and will not go around in circles. Even though Cui Yiye works in the Ministry of Justice, he can handle more civil cases."
Han Qi shook his head: "I didn't understand, nor was I interested in listening. I only care. Will it be really fun to find a group of mice?"
"certainly."
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to catch the mice, and then the beaten mice run in the cage, regardless of the water, so as to ensure that the mice are so hungry that they even chew on the iron cage." Han Qi went happily after saying that.
Zhao Kuo, he doesn't care about it.
As long as he reads a book, even if the sky collapses and doesn't hit his head, he will just think that nothing has happened.
Shi Dazu, who was about to arrange for someone to go to the inn, heard that Han Qi arranged for someone to catch a mouse and starved the mouse. He smiled slightly. He understood Han Jiang's intention. This method was interesting and useful.
Before the Song Dynasty, the Guancang was stored in an underground kiln.
However, since the founding of the Song Dynasty, grain began to develop from the underground to the ground, and there was already a complete system and warehouse building process. Especially after the loss of Bianliang, the official warehouse completely gave up the underground kiln warehouse because there was too much water in the south of the Yangtze River, digging kilns was far less likely to prevent moisture than building warehouses on the ground.
If the warehouse is really empty, the hungry mice will run around the warehouse and will definitely not find a way to drill for the warehouse.
But Shidazu didn't understand how Xiuzhou used empty positions to pretend to be full positions.
If the mouse in the scattered warehouse is still useful, the bag warehouse may be useless.
The way to fake the bag warehouse is to use forage or soil to disguise it as a grain bag. The part that can be touched is filled with real grain, and the part that cannot be touched is fake.
Starzu began to look forward to it.
Han Jiang learned the trick of using a mouse from later TV series. He didn't know whether it was used or not.
What Han Jiang really relies on is Qian Kuan and Wu Tie.
When they checked in the inn, Chen Yuran and the other four had not returned yet. They would not directly point out that they would investigate the No. 4 Okura. They only said that someone impeached Xiuzhou official warehouse and came to verify the deficit. Then they started to make inspection plans and random inspections with the officials of Xiuzhou Prefecture officials as usual.
The food Han Jiang asked for was delivered, and he gave one to King Zhao Kuo of Jia, and Han Jiang had no time to taste the other one.
Han Jiang was having a banquet outside.
The small banquet, and it is not in a restaurant, in a very ordinary small house.
Except for Han Jiang, no one here is a good person in the eyes of the government.
But Han Jiang is a chief attendant here.
Even without Wu Tie and the Wu family's power, Han Jiang could still be the chief at this time, because the business of this group of people was private salt dealers, canal shipping, porters at the dock...
This group of people respect the most.
One was Duke Lu of the Tang Dynasty, which was Cheng Yaojin.
A man who started his business by selling private salt and eventually became a magnificent figure in the Tang Dynasty.
Another one is the ancestor of the Qian family.
Money.
That is, Qian Xinyao's ancestor, who has recorded in the official list that he used private salt as a robbery when he was young, but he established the Wuyue Kingdom to develop the economy and benefit the people. The Wuyue Qian family also became the real home of scholarly fragrance in Liangzhe.
The rest are like Huang Chao and others, and the private salt dealers still look down on them.
These guys also judge heroes by success or failure. Huang Chao was eventually defeated, so he was not qualified to be worshipped by incense.
A strong man with a scar on his face stepped forward: "Little official, I will ask for me on behalf of my brothers. We know something you want to ask. But this matter was handled by the third house of the Wei family here, and there are four big merchants following him. By the way, Yangzhou's No. 1 Yan No., that's your store for your little official."
Han Jiang clasped his fists and said, "What do you call it?"
"The name is Fangtu. The brothers can trust you and become a public person in Xiuzhou."
The public is not a public person, but a fair person. He is also a well-known person here. He wears silk but dares not call himself noble in front of Han Jiang, and only dares to call himself cheap.
Too much difference in status.
Not to mention the official status of Count Han Jiang, he is the heir to the first salt merchant in Yangzhou, and the son-in-law of the Qian family's official family.
This is too high.
Han Jiang picked up the teacup he brought and sipped it: "If I can pacify Zhen'an Hou Mansion, I can confiscate the three houses of the Wei family. Fifty miles north of Lin'an Mansion, a bandit was killed by the official army, but I heard that."
Chapter completed!
