Tan Jianyu took a pen and made several entries in the account, and said: "I received Wang Quan's copper coins, which is equivalent to two coins of silver. I put the pen in the account!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the small vendors who were watching around him rushed over excitedly and asked, "Huangtouer, how much does it cost to run my stall?"
"Brother Tan, my stall is small, how high can I row?"
Tan Jianyu and Tan Jianyu, who were already experienced, raised their feet and kicked three or four people back, and then everyone calmed down. Huang Shuncai shouted loudly: "What a mess! If we come here again, I'll charge you with robbery. I'll see if you don't want to live anymore!"
Tan Jianyu also said loudly: "You don't need to rush over here, go back to your business, I will collect it from door to door!"
When everyone heard what the two of them said, they all stepped aside with great gratitude and no longer surrounded the two of them. Even the people who were kicked didn't show any sign of anger. They didn't even pat the footprints on their bodies and ran back to their stalls to wait to hand in their monthly exams!
Just when the two of them were about to take a step, Wang Youshou had already fished out two pig's trotters from the pot, wrapped them in lotus leaves and stuffed them over. He said, "You two adults have worked hard on your errands! Eat two pig's trotters to supplement your health." Replenish your strength!”
Tan Jianyu pushed the pig's trotters away and said: "Wang Youshou, don't trick me! It's forbidden to accept things from merchants. If you are found out, you will be punished, or in serious cases, you will be dismissed! I am now earning eighty taels of silver a month." Payyin, if you cause me to lose my job, I will definitely beat you to death!"
In the face of Tan Jianyu's scolding, Wang Youshou continued to push the pig's trotters over nonchalantly, saying: "Ignore what the superiors say! If the superior officer pursues you, just say that the old man forced it on you, and you won't accept it!" "
After saying that, he saw that Tan Jianyu still wanted to refuse, so he quickly hung the pig's trotter on the handle of his waist knife! As for Huang Shuncai, he held the pig's trotters in his hand with a smile.
At this time, other vendors also shouted: "Take it, take it! We will help you testify!"
"That's right, what does a pig's trotter mean? If Shangguan wants to bring trouble to you, we will go to him to argue with you!"
Tan Jianyu held the account book and pen in his hand and couldn't shirk it for a moment. Huang Shuncai beside him reached out and picked up the pig's trotters and said: "Stop being so verbose, so as not to hurt everyone's feelings! Besides, there are no rules for me from above. , let’s take this opportunity to eat more and occupy more!”
The traders all cheered when they heard this and praised Huang Shuncai for his intelligence! Then these people also started to prepare things at each stall so that they could take them away when the two of them came to collect money.
Tan Jianyu saw that he really couldn't shirk it, so he could only acquiesce. But he still said to Huang Shuncai: "Uncle, this matter can only be done once! I guess the new rules will be issued to you soon. It will be bad if you don't follow the rules and lose your job!"
Huang Shuncai had long been fascinated by the smell of meat, but he kept saying in agreement: "I know, I know! My uncle eats more salt than you eat rice, so you don't need to bother me!"
The two of them collected money and kept accounts all the way. When they reached the end of the street, the robe on Huang Shuncai's shoulders was almost full! After all, there were still a lot of copper plates in use at this time, which were very heavy, so they had to go to a nearby store to exchange them for a sum of silver, which made it much easier.
And at this time, the two of them were already covered with large and small bags of various things. Fortunately, most of these things were food. As for the vendors selling other items, they really had nothing to offer them, so they all bowed down in embarrassment. The atmosphere was very happy for a while!
After watching the entire process of collecting money, Liu Haojia was still satisfied! So when he saw them stop, he walked up quickly. As soon as they walked behind them, they heard Tan Jianyu telling Huang Shuncai: "Uncle, let's just hide the things from Shangguan this time. We can't collect them again next time. It's easy to do bad things! It's really a shame to lose your job for this little benefit." It’s not worth it!”
Huang Shuncai moved the gauze on his shoulders and said, "I understand, don't be verbose! Also, let me ask you, did the higher-ups say what to do with those merchants with backgrounds?"
Tan Jianyu shook his head and said: "There is no clear statement yet. But the higher-ups have said that we should pay close attention to the news on the street recently and pay more attention to Chunfeng Tower and Silver Hook Gambling Place. It seems that the higher-ups are planning to take these two places first. The family is under surgery!"
Huang Shuncai was startled when he heard this, stopped and said: "Chunfeng Tower? Silver Hook Gambling House? Are you Shangguan crazy? This is the business of two princes!"
Tan Jianyu said: "I don't know either. I think there should be a solution from above, right?"
Hearing this, Liu Haojia interrupted and said: "Of course I have my own way!"
The two heard someone talking behind them and turned around hurriedly. Tan Jianyu recognized Liu Haojia, so he recognized that Shangguan was coming and bowed to bow. But Liu Haojia stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Stop saluting, there are too many people here."
However, Tan Jianyu, who was feeling guilty, did not dare to stand up completely. He glanced at Huang Shuncai, who was wrapped up in clothes, and said, "Sir, you are here this time..."
Liu Haojia said: "I just came here to take a look and happened to choose your place. But I see that you are doing a good job!"
Tan Jianyu's face became much more relaxed upon hearing this. But Liu Haojia turned to Huang Shuncai and said, "I heard those vendors called you Huang Tou'er just now, right?"
Huang Shuncai was now carrying large and small bags, and he couldn't even bow! Because once he bowed, the things on his body would fall off and the situation would be even more embarrassing, so it was better to stand with his head down and wait for him to be relieved. So when he heard Liu Haojia's question, he lowered his head and said, "My subordinate's surname is indeed Huang, and his name is Huang Shuncai."
Liu Haojia said: "But I originally thought that after collecting the money this time and distributing the money, I would set rules for you, but in the end, you took advantage of a loophole! But don't worry, I will not punish you for this matter. You, but it’s just this once, it won’t happen next time, do you understand?”
Upon hearing this, Huang Shuncai nodded repeatedly as if he had been granted amnesty and said, "Thank you, sir. I will definitely change my ways and I won't break the rules again next time!"
Liu Haojia thought for a while and said, "Well, Tan Jianyu, I have sent you an errand. Seeing that the vendors are very enthusiastic this time, they have taken the initiative to give you a lot of things. So I estimate that there are many situations similar to yours. Therefore, I am making a special case! It’s okay to collect some things this time. If it happens again, you will be punished for both crimes! Send the money back to the small school field, and then go and send a message for me!"
