Chapter 749 730 eight: Prefect Meng Borrows Money

Duan Wuji and Tieniu were drinking tea in the magistrate's yamen, then Meng Zhifu and Wang Zhixian both came in!
"Prince Duan! Brother Tieniu, this is my cousin, the magistrate of Handan County, my cousin Wang Zhixian, I am afraid you have seen him the day before yesterday!

You two nobles live in my small yamen, no matter what I say, I have to treat you well!

Two, let's go!I'm officially treating you two to a meal today!
Let's have fun today!
I'm not here to invite you guys today, why don't we go to Wangxianlou for a meal!

Let me tell you, that place is a famous big restaurant in our Handan Prefecture!Let's eat there today! "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"I said, Master Meng, forget it, I think you should save two dollars! The reason why we two brothers live in your mansion is that it is not too far away in this Handan mansion.

You said that the two of us are too distant, how inappropriate!

No matter what you say today, our brothers will not go.

Let's just eat an ordinary meal in the government office and forget it!Why bother with that thing! "

The prefect Meng grinned.

"Prince Duan, you really live a simple life!

People like you are really rare among our high-ranking officials.

Since you two don't want to go to a restaurant, let's have something to eat at my house.

I immediately told my wife to go, let her make dumplings for us by herself!
It would be nice for the four of us to have a round meal together.

You wait, I will notify the kitchen immediately. "

After finishing speaking, Prefect Meng turned and left!

Not long, the prefect Meng turned around and came back again.

"It's okay now, let's sit and drink tea together!
After a while, the meal will be served! "

The four of them were drinking tea and chatting about the sky!

Prefect Meng looked at Duan Wuji and asked, "My Lord Duan, you said how much we should sell the grain after we get it back!"

Duan Wuji grinned when he heard this.

"What's the point of this! In two days, go to the grain market and ask what the price is now!

When there is a tense atmosphere in that society, the food can be sold, but, you must not sell it at a high price!

If you raise the price too high, it may cause social unrest!

Let me tell you that the price of this grain must not exceed three times the usual price!

Prefect Meng, do you remember?

Let me tell you that this period of real turmoil is very short, and in the long run it will only be a month or two. You must not throw these grains in your hands!

If you see good children, you will accept them. Don't try to make a fortune!

Only in this way, you will have such a good reputation in the future!

Let's just earn him four or five out of ten, do you two remember?

It won't do any of us any good if we earn too much! "

"My lord, we understand what you mean, don't worry, we will never go against your will!

Um!If we can earn four or five out of ten of him, then we two will be satisfied!
If we can really make so much money, then both of us can be considered rich.

After all, this is equivalent to our salary for several years!
If there is such a sum of money, our brother and I will have no worries in our lives. "

The time is not too long, and the dumplings will be served.

The four of them had dinner together, and Duan Wuji said to the prefect of Meng: "Lord prefect, we two brothers will go back to Taiyuan mansion tomorrow morning, if there is a chance, let's fool around together again!"

"The Wang family is thousands of years old, why are you in such a hurry! Now this society is fairly peaceful, so what are you afraid of if you live for three or two days longer!"

"We're not afraid of anything, but! Let's hurry back!
If the light stays outside, the family must not be at ease!

And why do we worry our family members!How bad that would be!

Besides, after we go back, we still have a lot of things to deal with! "

After hearing this, Wang Zhixian hurriedly said: "The Wang family is a thousand years old, if this is the case, after breakfast tomorrow morning, we two brothers will send you there!"

The prefect Meng laughed and said: No need to send them off, I will find a few carriages and go with them tomorrow!
By the way, I'll borrow some money from them. In this case, won't I have a bank for the grain? "

Wang Zhixian laughed and said: "Cousin, you really know how to think!

This is called borrowing chickens to lay eggs, or your method is better! "

"Hey! What kind of eggs are you laying! If you buy more food, I will be content to survive this crisis."

Duan Wuji thought for a while and said: "Yes! That's fine too.

For the safety of the road, let my brother Tie Niu escort the silver back for you!

Anyway, nothing happened to him in the last ten days or 20 days! "

Tie Niu grinned.

"I said brother, you are too good at manipulating people!

Now that you ask me to escort the money, brother, I won't say anything!

But what!Brother, when I beg you, you must not ignore it! "

"Brother Tie Niu, your business is my business. How can I stand by and watch your business if you say so!"

"Well! With your words, I can rest assured!

good!Let's settle this matter.

I will personally escort this silver over here!Don't worry about this matter, with my Tieniu here, the money is safe! "

That's all for the matter, the few people chatted for a while, and then they dispersed!

The next morning, Duan Wuji and the others ate breakfast early!

Afterwards, Duan Wuji and Tieniu brought out their horses, and the prefect of Meng also brought out a black horse. The three of them led eight carriages and went north along the official road, passing Zhengding Mansion all the way to the west, went straight to Taiyuan Mansion in Shanxi and took down!

Duan Wuji rode his horse in a hurry, while urging the car owners to shake their whips and go quickly. After more than two days of hard work, Duan Wuji and the others arrived at Taiyuan Mansion at noon this day!

Duan Wuji looked at Tieniu and said, "Brother Tieniu, how much money did your family lend to the prefect of Meng this time?"

Tie Niu thought for a while and said: "We are a small family, and we can't take advantage of much money. I might as well lend them tens of thousands of taels of silver. By the way, I can also earn two small coins to spend!"

The prefect of Meng almost died of anger when he heard that!Heart said: Is 3 taels of silver still a small family?

well!Compared with others, the magistrate himself is really a pauper!
This is really more popular than people!

Compared with others, then I am really a poor ghost!

Duan Wuji laughed and said, "That's fine too! Brother, if you pay 3 taels of silver, then brother, I will pay 5 taels of silver!"
Anyway, we brothers just need to fill up his eight carriages!
Prefect Meng, let's load the car this afternoon!

Now that the car is loaded, you will be on your way early tomorrow morning! "

Prefect Meng grinned.

"Thousands of years of the Wang family, that's what I mean by being an official!

My Handan mansion will be very busy recently, and it will take a long time to go forward. After getting the money back, I will buy a lot of food! "

When he came to the fork in Duanjiaji, Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, you can take the three cars to your house first! Count out the money first, and wait until I pack the money in my house." After getting in the car, let them watch and count it, and then load the three carts of silver from your family!
We must not be sloppy about this little money! "

"Well! This is fine, let's do it like this!
Then you three cars come with me!
Come to my house for tea! "

Duan Wuji and Meng Zhifu led the remaining five carriages straight to the Duan family village.

As soon as Duan Wuji and the others arrived home, Duan Yanzhuang led his family out of the house to welcome them.

When Duan Wuji saw his father and elder brother came out, he hurriedly introduced them to each other!

"Father, elder brother, this is the prefect of Meng, the prefect of the Handan prefecture in Hebei.

Prefect Meng, this is my father, and that is my elder brother. "

After hearing this, the prefect Meng hurriedly cupped his hands at the two of them.

"Old master, this big brother, you have always been good!

Handan prefect Meng Haigong paid a visit to the two of you! "

When Duan Yanqing and his son saw each other, they quickly returned the gift!

"Your Majesty, there is no need to be too polite. It is fate that we meet today!"

Duan Wuji laughed and said: "Father, I brought the prefect of Meng to our house, and I promised to lend him 5 taels of silver. His Handan mansion needs this money recently!

Dad, let's stop being dumb, let's move money to him quickly! "

Duan Yanqing nodded helplessly.

"Alright then! If this is the case, then let's act quickly!"

Duan Changsheng promised, turned around and followed his father back to the house, then Duan Wuji also followed in, and Wang Jinhua followed after seeing the Pearl Princess.

When Niu Ahua saw her, she handed Duan Shengsong to her mother, and then hurried to the house.

"Mother! A few of us have gone to move money, you can watch your two grandsons here, after a while you can just look at our family's money!"

"Well! Then you go too! We have figured out Zaoqing a long time ago!"

A few people started to act immediately, it was like money going out one after another, and it was piled up immediately when it was moved to the yard.

Seeing the gradually moved out money, the prefect Meng was filled with emotion in his heart!

It is said that the Duan family in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province is rich, which seems to be true at all!

well!They know how to manage, that's something we can't compare to!

5 taels of silver, that is not too much, and not too much!

The time is not long, and the money will be enough to count.

Duan Wuji looked at the prefect Meng and said, "Lord prefect, this is 5 taels of silver, hurry up and order some!"

The prefect Meng laughed and said: "There's no need to count. Just now you were moving out the silver, and I counted it. It's 5 taels of silver, and it's not fake at all!"

Duan Wuji laughed when he heard this.

"Now that it's cleared up, let's load the car quickly!"

The prefect of Meng said to several car owners: "You start loading cars now.

Load up the car and we can go. "

The magistrate has spoken, who dare not listen!

Several car owners began to load the cars one after another, and the prefect Meng stood by and watched closely, for fear that something might go wrong!

In a short while, several car owners packed all the money, and after the car was packed, the prefect Meng gave Duan Wuji and his family a hand.

"Prince Duan, old man Duan, please rest! Then the official will leave, and we will go to Tie Niu's house."

Duan Wuji said with a smile: "Let me lead you there! I won't need you to inquire again."

The prefect Meng laughed.

"Then there will be a thousand years for the Laowang family."

The carriage drove out of Duan Wuji's house, Duan Wuji rushed out of the house, led the prefect of Meng and the others straight to the Tie Niu's house in Duan's family, and rushed over!

When I arrived at Tie Niu's house, I saw that Tie Niu's family had also arranged the silver in the yard.

Hou Yinping looked at Duan Wuji and said with a smile: "Wuji! I was exhausted from moving the money just now, and you didn't say come and help my sister-in-law for a while!
Oh, I'm so tired, my back is sore and my arms hurt. "

Duan Wuji smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, just now our family moved out money, and it moved more than yours!

How tired would it be to move money so many times!

If you ask me, you must have been lazy for so many years, you can't do it like you!

If it is tiring to move such a small amount of money, what else can you do!

Could it be that I can only sleep with my brother?Can't do anything else? "

Hou Yinping's face turned red when Duan Wuji said it.

"Wuji! You are not allowed to joke with sister-in-law like this, look what you just said!

This little brother-in-law teases his sister-in-law, but he can't tease his sister-in-law as much as you do! "

Tieniu smiled and said to the prefect Meng: "Master Meng, this is 3 taels of silver, please count it!
When you figure it out, we can fill up the car. "

The prefect Meng quickly counted the money, and it was finished in a short while.

"Well! It's exactly 3 taels of silver, you three should load it into the car!"

Tie Niu said with a smile: "Prefect Meng, don't leave tonight, why not just rest at our house for the night!
Early tomorrow morning, I will immediately escort you back on horseback! "

Hou Yinping was surprised and said, "What! You have to leave tomorrow!"

Tie Niu grinned.

"What can I do if I don't escort them back! If the money is lost, what do you think the prefect Meng will do to return our money!

Besides, it is not easy for me to earn these 3 taels of silver!How can I let it slip by a little while walking down the road without risking my life? "

After Hou Yinping heard this, he stopped talking.

When Duan Wuji saw that everything was settled here, he quickly got up and said goodbye!

"Uncle, Aunt, Brother Tieniu, Sister-in-law, please rest, I'm going home!"

That Tie Niu's father held Duan Wuji's hand and said: "Wuji! Why are you in a hurry to go back?

If you want me to say, why don't you go back after eating at our house. "

Duan Wuji shook his head.

"Thank you, uncle, I can't eat at your house today no matter what!

I just came back today, my parents are waiting for me at home!

You said how dare I not go back!

If we eat at your house, let's talk about it another day! "

After finishing speaking, Duan Wuji withdrew from Tie Niu's house, and Tie Niu's family sent him out.
