Chapter 433 The big one is coming!
Eunuch Du was invited to the restaurant respectfully by several local officials of Wenzhou Prefecture, and the food was cold by now.

Jiang Zhifu waved his hand and ordered the restaurant to redo it.

Then a bunch of people gathered around Eunuch Du. Although they were not flattering, they were all very enthusiastic. After all, when it comes to the relationship with the emperor, this eunuch in purple is the serious servant of the emperor, although he may not have any It's no good, but if this father-in-law Du is upset and goes back to Jiankang to complain in front of the emperor, these local officials might be overwhelmed and walk away.

With Eunuch Du around, Shen Yi will be much more relaxed, and he doesn't have to deal with these local officials, the old god is here to eat the few dishes of Jiangdu dishes in front of him.

After the banquet was almost finished, they left one after another. Shen Yi and Du Huai left together. The old eunuch who was over half a century old quietly walked to Shen Yi's side. The little old man looked at Shen Yi.

"Shen Hanlin, find a place to have another drink or two?"

Shen Yi didn't drink too much, and nodded with a smile.

After the two found a small tavern to sit down, Du Huai's tone was somewhat helpless: "Did Shen Hanlin recruit these people?"

Shen Yi raised his wine glass, toasted him, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid they might neglect my father-in-law."

"Our family is going south this time on business, not to be a tyrant."

Eunuch Du lowered his eyebrows and said: "If people in the palace know, they might sue our family with Eunuch Gao, saying that our family is using the signboard of the palace to act as a domineering outside."

Shen Yi smiled, but did not answer.

Although the eunuchs in these palaces were not as powerful as the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, they must have some status in the inner court if they were at Du Huai's level, so they wouldn't be punished for eating and drinking.

Seeing that Shen Yi didn't speak, Eunuch Du lowered his head and took a sip of his wine, and said lightly: "My lord has copied the homes of three rich merchants in Wenzhou Mansion. In the past few days, our family has led people to make a rough count. The cash of the three families is added together. , close to 40 taels, land property, pavement, and valuables together, it is estimated to be about 60 to [-] taels."

"The son of the world has ordered that if Shen Hanlin wants to use the money, he can take it as he pleases, without going through him."

"Our family will follow Shen Hanlin from now on. If Shen Hanlin wants to use money, just say hello to our family."

Speaking of this, the old eunuch paused, and continued: "However, the real estate, shop, and valuables, if you want to convert the full amount into cash, it will take two or three months. If Shen Hanlin is in a hurry, Our family will ask someone to expedite the processing, but the price will be discounted."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, father-in-law, although I need money, I'm not in a hurry, you just deal with it slowly, these stolen properties are all the imperial court, and they are all His Majesty's property, so you can't let Your Majesty suffer. "

Eunuch Du was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at Shen Yi: "Our family will give Shen Hanlin one by one the accounts of all the land products."

"You don't have to show me."

Shen Yi shook his head, and said: "Eunuch Du is sent by the palace, so Shen can certainly trust the palace and His Majesty."

Whether it's Shen Yi's money-consuming errand, or Du Huai's money-making errand, there is a lot of money to be made.

Du Huai and others were in charge of handling the stolen property. Not only did Shen Yi not believe it, but even Du Huai himself would not believe it if they said that these eunuchs were free-spirited and would not take any money after the transfer.

But Shen Yi didn't care about these.

As long as Du Huai and others are not doing too much, and the anti-Japanese army has money to spend, he will turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. After all, these eunuchs are sent by the emperor to "stalk". If you feed them enough and haggle over every detail with them, I'm afraid you won't be able to accomplish anything.

There is a saying well.

Not deaf or blind, not worthy of being in charge.

After hearing Shen Yi's words, Du Huai was taken aback for a moment, and then a happy smile appeared on his face: "In this case, our family is very grateful to Shen Hanlin for trusting him, but there is one thing, we still need to trouble Shen Hanlin. "

Shen Yi looked at him, thoughtfully: "Elder-in-law, please tell me."

"Hanlin also knows that I am a servant in the palace, and I can read Chinese characters, but my knowledge is not so deep. These days, there are many famous people's calligraphy and paintings, as well as many brushes and inkstones, as well as some Ancient books of rare and rare books, these things..."

"It's hard for us to tell the truth from the fake."

The little old man looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said: "If Shen Hanlin is free, you might as well go to the scene and give us rough people some advice."

This is the so-called "returning the favor" in official circles.

Shen Yi didn't supervise Du Huai, but Du Huai asked Shen Yi to go to the scene and pick something casually. If he picked something good, he would say it was a lie, put it in his arms and take it home. No one would say anything more.

In fact, Shen Yi is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year. He spent the first half of his life in the sea of ​​books and inscriptions. How can he have the energy to study antique calligraphy and paintings?He may have read more serious books, but he really doesn't know anything about antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Master Shen thought for a while, then nodded with a smile: "Okay, I must go to the scene when I have time."

In this unremarkable tavern, the old and the young looked at each other and smiled, toasted each other with a toast, everything was unspoken.

After having a drink in the tavern, it was getting late. Shen Yi was arranged by the officials of Wenzhou Mansion to rest in the Guild Hall of Wenzhou Mansion, that is, the official guest house. After returning to the guild hall, he took a bath first, and Lie on the bed and sleep comfortably.

In the next few days, the conscription work for the Anti-Japanese Army began in an orderly manner in Yongjia County. Because of the experience of Taizhou Prefecture and Taiping County, the conscription work went smoothly this time. After recruiting more than 1000 recruits, Shen Yi immediately announced the end of the first round of conscription.

Then he ordered Xue Wei to start training recruits on the spot outside Yongjia City.

Shen Yi, on the other hand, was active in Yongjia City. In addition to dealing with these Wenzhou government officials, he also went to the warehouse where the stolen property was sealed, but he only took a brush from it to make a point, even if it was "collusion". up.

In a blink of an eye, four days had passed since Shen Yi arrived in Yongjia City.

This afternoon, Shen Yi, who wandered around outside, saw a few familiar figures as soon as he stepped into the gate of the guild hall. He walked to his room thoughtfully, and saw a tall man standing The door of my room.

Seeing Shen Yi approaching, the man quickly stepped forward, bowed his head respectfully to Shen Yi and said, "Si Zheng!"

It was Zheng Hu, the leader of the fourth group.

Shen Yi looked at the dignified Zheng Hu, and noticed something was wrong. He asked, "What? What happened?"

Zheng Hu lowered his head, took a deep breath, and said, "Si Zheng, let's talk inside."

Shen Yi nodded, pushed open his door and walked in.

Zheng Hu followed him into the room, after entering the room, Zheng Hu bowed his head to Shen Yi again and said: "Si Zheng, something is wrong!"

"In recent days, my subordinates have discovered that there are a large number of Japanese pirates gathering along the coast of Zhejiang!"

Zheng Hu looked serious, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid there are more than 3000 people!"

3000 people!
Hearing this number, Shen Yi frowned.

Zheng Hu took a deep breath and said, "Our people are staring at these Japanese pirates, looking at their movements, I'm afraid it's..."

"Going to log in!"
