Chapter 351 Waste Paper
This night, too many people couldn't sleep.

According to the Holy Majesty's will, the soldiers in the Shenji Camp were immediately stripped of their badges and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Lu Yunli led people to interrogate them overnight, and wrote a report about the fact that the Chinese army cooperated with the big families, sent outsiders into the palace in private, and paid nobles to mass graves.

The messy affairs of the various departments and bureaus in the palace were led by Liu Yuanhai, the chief manager, and interrogated one by one according to the roster spit out by Shenjiying.Then a few deserted palaces were built, and the palace people who were infected with the epidemic were moved in.For the rest of the place, people were sent to sprinkle lime overnight and clean up and down, making full preparations for Sheng Jia's return to Luan the next day.

But the Datou plague patient in the south of the city, seeing Hao Dashan died of illness in the imperial hospital, was still hesitant to take the medicine.

Coincidentally, at this time, a lame mob stepped forward and took the whole family to drink the medicine.In addition, Wang Weiquan, who was in charge of expelling the epidemic, took advantage of the wind and read the imperial decree on the spot to punish the quack doctor Hao Dashan. When it came to Hao Dashan.

Only then did the patients begin to cooperate with Lu Yungui's treatment.

Hearing the person in front of him knelt and kowtowed for the emperor's favor, Wang Weiquan and others flattered him, but insulted and slandered Hao Dashan, Lu Yungui only felt ironic.

He didn't want to look at the scary faces of those people anymore, he turned around and took people to distribute the medicine to the patients, but he vaguely heard a quarrel coming from the envoy's tent:

"What are you going to do? Put my master down!"

"Anyone who dies from the epidemic must be incinerated. We are also following orders! Besides, Hao Dashan has been banished to Zhuyahai with his whole family. It is estimated that no one will come to collect his body. !"

"You guys! You are too deceitful!"

Hao Dashan's disciples rushed up to grab the master's body, but they are frail scholars after all, how could they resist the iron fist of Shenjiying?Without making two gestures, he was restrained.

When Lu Yungui came close, Hao Dashan was dragged and mixed with the corpses of other patients.The Zuoye Army of the Shenji Battalion, who had just taken their positions, was splashing vegetable oil on it, and following the leader's order, they threw the torch into it.

The flames shot up into the sky, and Hao Dashan's disciples cried together, shouting "Master" one after another, and collapsed powerlessly on the ground.

Lu Yungui's eyes were red, facing Hao Dashan in the flames, he knocked his head heavily on the ground.

The biting north wind blows sparks on his face, and the scorching temperature seems to be the tone that Hao Dashan used to scold him for being unmoderate and independent.He used to think that the envoy looked down on Master, so he even hated himself.

Now it seems that I am stupid and have not understood the good intentions of the court envoy.

After the fire was extinguished, Lu Yungui followed behind Hao Dashan's disciple, and set up a wooden plaque on the ashes.

When he raised his head again, it was already dawn.

At this time, Tang Feng and Chi Zheng also just arrived at the gate of King Yan's Mansion in the west of the city.A few faint rays of morning light emerged from the clouds and haze, reflected on the empty street, crushed by galloping horseshoes.It is clearly the end of autumn now, but the capital is as cold as if it has fallen into winter, and any disturbance in the grass will make people panic.

The two didn't mention what Chi Zheng and Wei Qi said, but when they learned that Xiao Yanzhi and Lu Wanlan were in their respective residences, they also split up to find their masters.

In the courtyard of Dingguo Mansion.

At the bottom of the vermilion corridor, the girl Xiaoxi was stretching against the sun, when she saw Chi Zheng rushing in, she hurriedly pulled him back and said softly:
"Young lady has been busy all night with grain and shop, and now she is falling asleep in the living room. If you have anything to say, wait until you wake up."

Chi Zheng stopped, the two met eyes, and went to the main hall together.

The hall was in a mess, with abacus and ledgers all over the long table, and some discarded rice paper scattered on the floor.

Lu Wanlan was already dizzy from exhaustion after a night of calculations, now that she had managed to send a few old shopkeepers away, she no longer cared about her appearance, and fell asleep on the soft bed with her clothes on, hugging a soft pillow.

Li Ying, who was at the side, tiptoed to clear up the pens, inks, papers and inkstones on the table, and then began to sort out the books.It's just that when she picked up a stack of waste rice paper, her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly beckoned Xiaoxi and Chi Zheng to go over.

The two approached softly and looked around.

Unexpectedly, besides a string of crooked symbols, there were also several huge turtles drawn on the paper. Xiaoxi couldn't hold back any of them, and let out a "puchi" in joy.

But she suddenly remembered that her girl was still sleeping limply next to her, so she suddenly covered her mouth.

However, this slight sound still reached Lu Wanlan's ears.

There was a rustling sound immediately after Ruantao, Lu Wanlan turned over and yawned, before opening her eyes, she muttered:
"Xiaoxi~ What time is it?"

"Girl?" Xiaoxi stepped forward shyly, "It's just passed Yinshi, why don't you sleep for a while."

"Huh? It's Yin's time?" Lu Wanlan stretched her neck in pain, and struggled to sit up, "Why have I slept for so long? You didn't call me, did Chi Zheng come back?"

"Girl, this subordinate is back."

Hearing his daughter's questioning, Chi Zheng didn't dare to delay, and stepped forward to directly report what happened to him in the south of the city and the subsequent movements of all parties in the capital.

Xiaoxi and Liying were startled when they heard it.

Lu Wanlan responded humbly, but didn't exchange a word, and even her eyes were a little dull.

her brain crashed
In this life, including her previous life, she has never seen so many ledgers.

It wasn't until yesterday that Lu Wanlan realized that in the Great Zhou that he was in, not only silver and copper coins circulated in the market, but also banknotes circulated in the early days of the founding of the country.And these seemingly different currencies not only have different units, denominations and values, but even silver is divided into pattern silver and fineness silver.

As for the account books brought by the old shopkeepers of the Lu family, there are more than 30 books of various types for the accounts of Tian Fulou's family alone. The value is already as high as one of the first three.

What's more, the numbers on the ledger are all in uppercase and traditional characters, and the accuracy has reached the point where there is no difference.

In desperation, I had to secretly use Arabic numerals to convert the value.Then use several circles to circle the numbers of several currencies.

Although it doesn't look like it, but anyway, I know what to do.

But what did the shopkeepers say before they left?
"A total of 150 boats were sunk on the canal this time. Each boat contained [-] and [-] shi of rice. As for silk, cotton and cloth, there were seven or eight boats in total. These things can't be salvaged right now." Yes, you can only fold the silver and hand it over to the account department."

"I'll go back first, and the Patriarch will rest for a while. After lunch today, I will discuss with the Patriarch about the silver exchange. Although the accounts of the Lu family are clear, after all, there are countless fertile land and shops, and the taxes and taxes are all mixed together. It’s not a small amount. Grain storage is the top priority at the end of autumn, if something goes wrong, they will be killed! Now that the masters in charge can’t come back, the head of the family must come up with a plan.”

Thinking that he had less than three hours left and would have to check the amount of silver with those old shopkeepers, Lu Wanlan felt that the sky was about to collapse!
And Chi Zheng obviously also saw the abnormality of his girl, so he stopped after saying a few words.

Xiao Xi quickly tugged on Lu Wanlan's skirt, and asked with concern: "Miss? What's wrong with you, ma'am?"

"Ah?" Lu Wanlan came back to her senses and saw that Chi Zheng's shoulder was still oozing blood, so she asked Xiaoxi to give her some medicine, "Go and take some medicine first, then we can talk about it later. "

After Chi Zheng and Xiao Xi left, Lu Wanlan hurriedly asked Liying to bring her rice paper with Arabic numerals on it, but she never expected that what she got was this question:
"The girl is talking about those waste papers with turtles on them?"

"Turtle?" Lu Wanlan was taken aback after hearing this, and then nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, it's those waste papers!"

"Ah~ those!" Liying seemed to be waiting for a compliment, pointing to the brazier in front of her eyes with a smile, "I just threw it in."

Lu Wanlan only heard a "click" in her head!
His eyes darkened, and he fell down on the soft couch in an instant.

"Girl! What's wrong with you, girl?"
