"Get in line! Get in line! Get your household registration and thirty cents handling fee ready for me. Let's get fifty cars in at a time."
In front of the school gate, Tao Yonghan raised his neck and shouted loudly.
"Are there any handling fees?"
"Are you not talking nonsense... deputy... deputy commander?"
Tao Yonghan looked back and saw that it was Cao Ping. He was so frightened that he almost collapsed and said quickly: "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die. I don't know if he is the deputy commander..."
"okay!"
Cao Ping waved his hand and asked in a low voice: "Are these people invited by Zhang San?"
Tao Yonghan said hurriedly: "Probably not. It's not easy to invite so many people."
Cao commented: "In other words, Zhang San didn't send patrol officers to find people to queue up here?"
"No!"
Tao Yonghan shook his head and said, "This villain can guarantee it."
Cao Ping wondered: "This is really strange. He was scolded so fiercely before, but why did everyone rush to get the license plate?"
Tao Yonghan shook his head and said: "I don't know. I slept here last night. I got up at midnight and there was already a long queue here."
What trick did that brat use? Cao Ping was confused and said again: "That's right! You still charge a handling fee of thirty cents?"
Tao Yonghan said hurriedly: "Deputy Commander, we haven't earned a penny from these thirty cents."
Cao Ping was stunned, "How do you say this?"
Tao Yonghan said: "It was all made by those craftsmen. Zhang San hired dozens of carpenters. They were responsible for engraving the license plate number on the carriage. Oh, and there were also the clerks who wrote the license plate number on the saddle."
Cao Ping frowned, "We have craftsmen in the infantry. We can ask them to help, so why spend this money."
Tao Yonghan said in a low voice: "The villain told Zhang San the same thing at the time, but Zhang San said that these are all small money, and the big money is the beautiful license plate."
Cao commented: "What kind of fancy license plate?"
"For example, four twos, one two, three four, these are all good numbers."
Tao Yonghan said: "It is said that these beautiful license plates have to be bought, and the one with the highest price will get them."
"Fancy." Cao Ping snorted, "A fool would spend money to buy this thing."
Tao Yonghan said: "It seems that the office bought several pieces."
Cao Ping's mouth twitched a few times, and he said with a gloomy face: "Is Zhang San here?"
Tao Yonghan said hurriedly: "Here we come! It's the school field on the other side of the river from Yanei and the others."
Cao Ping frowned, "Are the license plates over there too?"
"No."
Tao Yonghan shook his head and said, "The villains don't know what they are doing."
...
"Hey! Brother, what are you doing, waiting in such a long line?"
But I saw a middle-aged man with unkempt hair and a dark face asking an old man driving a donkey cart.
The old man said: "Don't you know, license plates are about to be issued today. Let's wait here to get the license plates."
The middle-aged man said in surprise: "License plate? But I heard that everyone is opposed to this and they won't come to get it. Don't you know?"
The old man cheered: "What's the point of just yelling? People have started to issue license plates. It must be to get the license plate. If we don't get it, if we really don't have the license plate, we won't be allowed to go out on the street. Then we won't even be able to make a living." Gone."
A young man at the back said: "Uncle, don't complain, maybe it will be beneficial in the future."
The middle-aged man asked: "Brother, where did you start talking about this?"
The little brother said: "Then the newspaper said it, the number of license plates may be restricted in the future, then if we have the license plate, we will be very popular."
The middle-aged man chuckled: "You believe this too?"
The younger brother said: "Why don't you believe it? The city is so big. There are too many cars and horses, and people can't walk on the road. Just wait, it won't be long before the limit is reached."
The old man chuckled: "Brother, if it's true as you said, that would be great. We have the license plate, so we can only haul the goods."
The little brother smiled and said: "If it weren't for this, would we have to queue up so early?"
The middle-aged man stroked his beard and said nothing.
"Teacher."
At this time, a young man came over.
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and walked to the river with the young man.
This middle-aged man is Wang Anshi.
And that young man is Lu Huiqing.
Lu Huiqing wondered: "Teacher, everyone is obviously opposed to this matter, why are there so many people queuing up to get the cards?"
Wang Anshi pointed to the other side of the queue, "Look, who are the people queuing up?"
Lu Huiqing didn't even look at them and said, "I observed them when I came here. They are all ordinary people or businessmen."
Wang Anshi nodded and said: "Yes! But there is no official, because the officials know that as long as everyone does not get it, the law cannot be implemented. But the people don't know, they are just for a living. If they really can't get the card, This livelihood is gone, how can they dare to gamble."
Having said this, Wang Anshi frowned slightly and said, "If you have a donkey or horse at home, you have to come and get the cards quickly, and be careful not to be teased by that kid."
Lu Huiqing was surprised and said: "How can my teacher say this?"
Wang Anshi said: "With Zhang San's unyielding character, I think he will definitely limit the number of cards, and those officials must have come at the last resort when they have no other choice. Once he limits the number of cards, or it will increase the difficulty of getting the cards, Huh, those officials can’t even ride in the carriages, so they can only rent cars.”
Lu Huiqing was surprised and said: "My mentor overestimated Zhang San. Even if Deputy Commander Bu personally took action, he would not have the power."
Wang Anshi laughed and said: "Now everyone is complaining that this law goes against the people's will. But when these people all have license plates, they will naturally expect others to not have license plates. Then he will restrict the license plates. That is what the people want. Just wait. Look out, when the time comes, Zhang San will definitely want to extort some money from them."
Lu Huiqing was stunned when he heard this.
Is this okay?
...
"Fake! This must be fake! These are all people invited by Zhang San."
Gu Ji, who had just come here to watch a good show, saw the scene in front of him, and his eyes almost fell out.
He absolutely didn't believe it.
This is so fake.
There is no support for this method, and there cannot be so many people.
The servant beside him suddenly said: "Master! Isn't that Lao Li from Baifanlou?"
Gu Ji took a closer look and saw that it was indeed the coachman Bai Fanlou often sent to his house to deliver wine. "It's really him. Go and fetch him."
"yes."
After a while, the servant led a middle-aged man over.
"Li Er has seen the Gusi incident."
The man cupped his fists and saluted.
Gu Ji asked: "Li Er, why did you come here and queue up?"
Li Erdao: "If I want to go back to Gu Temple, my master asked me to come."
Gu Ji was furious: "Isn't your member Fanwai blind or deaf? I've already told you. Don't pay attention to this matter. This method won't work."
Li Er said with a mournful face: "My master said it was just thundering but not raining. It was already so noisy outside, and the court did not take back the license plate order. This matter... just... doesn't make sense, and there is no money... How much, so..."
In fact, this is what the merchants want to say. If you shout fiercely, it is of no use, and the court will not take it back, so who dares to gamble?
Gu Ji angrily yelled: "Rat! A bunch of rats! We ministers don't even have license plates. If you want to arrest us, you have to arrest us first. What are you afraid of? Go back quickly, I promise you, it doesn't matter if you don't accept it."
"ah?"
Li Er looked back and said, "Gusi matter, you see... there are so many people, he can't lie!"
Gu Ji said: "You are stupid! Those were all invited by Zhang San."
Li Er said: "Probably not! I know quite a few of the people here."
"You... are really worthless, okay, okay, your family is rich, do whatever you want, I don't care."
After saying that, he stormed off.
On the shore, under the willow tree, three old men silently watched Gu Ji's runaway.
These three people are Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo.
Lu Gong said: "This Gu Fuqing was so angry that she was probably not the one invited here."
Wen Yanbo couldn't understand it anymore and wondered: "What kind of magic did Zhang San use? Everyone is obviously opposed to it, but so many people come here to play cards."
Sima Guang stroked his beard and thought for a while, then said: "Tabloid."
"Tabloids?"
"Um."
Sima Guang nodded and said: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. After all, the news newspaper contains all the laws and regulations, and the inspection department also posted notices. Those objections are just one word from you and one from me." , people will definitely choose to believe what they see with their own eyes."
Lu Gong wrote: "What you said makes sense. Many people buy goods just for their livelihood. Who dares to gamble with his own livelihood? Besides, after a year, there is not much money."
Wen Yanbo said thoughtfully: "It seems that Wang Jiefu was right at the time. The power of this tabloid cannot be underestimated."
These scholar-bureaucrats seem to be still living in the past and believe that they can control public opinion with their voices. In the eyes of the people, writing in black and white is definitely more reliable than shouting.
And the spread is also wide.
It seems that public opinion is against it, but their inner thoughts have actually been controlled by the newspapers.
This side is restricting licenses, and that side is recruiting people.
Who dares to bet on this combination of punches?
...
Over there, Cao Ping also came to the school field on the other side of the river. As soon as he entered the school field, he heard a burst of cheering.
"good!"
"Brother is really good at riding."
"Ho ho! Ya Nei! Ya Nei!"
.....
Cao Ping walked over looking for the sound, only to see Cao Dongdong driving a carriage speeding through a pile of obstacles.
At one glance, Cao Ping knew what his son was doing.
It's the subject two exam.
It is also called "Chasing the Water", driving on a winding river and quickly bypassing some obstacles.
The first subject is "Ming He Luan". To put it simply, it means playing the trumpet, but it must be rhythmic, not dead. Bells are hung on the carriages, and the rhythm of the bells is adjusted using the art of driving horses. It is a rhythm to remind passers-by, to meet the carriage is another rhythm, and to meet people of high status is another rhythm.
Subject three is "Guojunbiao", which means starting, stopping and braking.
The fourth subject is "Wujiaoqu", which is equivalent to an intersection. How to get traffic at the intersection and how to turn from the avenue into the lane.
In fact, there is also subject five, but that is a professional category and only practiced by soldiers.
In a daze, I only heard a burst of cheers.
Cao Ping looked up and saw that Cao Dongdong had already driven the carriage and passed the finish line.
"Ya Nei, I didn't expect you to be so powerful."
Zhang Fei couldn't help but applaud and praise.
Cao Dongdong jumped down from the carriage, "It goes without saying that as long as the imperial army practices it, we can do it, including riding and archery."
Ma Xiaoyi chuckled, "I'm just a little worse than my brother."
They are all disciples of Sanya. They have been in the school since they were young. They are really good at all kinds of martial arts.
"Ahem!"
Hearing two coughs, Cao Dongdong subconsciously looked up and said, "Dad."
"Deputy Commander!"
"Uncle Cao!"
"master!"
A group of people quickly saluted.
Cao Ping came over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Fei said: "I asked the Yameni to demonstrate the driving test items."
Cao Ping looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"
Zhang Fei said: "I want to optimize this test item and issue a new driver's license. Those who do not have a driver's license will not be allowed to drive."
This is a rhythm that will kill people!
Cao Ping almost laughed when he heard this, "I have never seen a government official who is as dedicated as you. Why do you do so many things? If you want to be promoted, so many ministers have recommended you. , you don’t want to, I really don’t understand.”
Zhang Fei said hey: "I just love what I do. Either I don't do it, or I have to do it to the best of my ability. I already have a car license plate, so I must have a driver's license, so that I can ensure the cleanliness of the streets." And reduce traffic accidents.”
What a lunatic!
Cao Ping cursed in his heart. He didn't understand what Zhang Fei was trying to do, and asked again: "By the way! What is going on outside?"
Come and try it quickly. 】
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "It's actually very simple. Who dares to gamble with their own livelihood on whether my license plate can be implemented?"
Cao Dongdong suddenly jumped forward and said, "Dad, I will get a license plate for you, 5555, which represents Daddy's mighty power."
Cao Ping glanced at him and said, "Did you spend a lot of money?"
Cao Dongdong snickered and said: "It's only a hundred guan, but it's cheap. Dad, don't tell the outside world, we got it at the internal price."
The corners of Cao Ping's mouth twitched, and he felt his whole body swelled.
Are you still spending money on your own license plate?
you....
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Fei hurriedly whispered: "Deputy Commander, I took the initiative and donated a license plate to the official. Tianzi number, 0001, is the most beautiful license plate number."
Cao Ping couldn't help but his expression changed and asked: "Does the official want it?"
Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes. But I don't dare to ask for money."
"You're crazy!"
Cao Ping cursed angrily, "If the officials want your license plate, it's because smoke is rising from your ancestral graves, and you still want money."
Cao Dongdong said: "Dad, my son also ordered a license plate for my aunt, four nines, which means that our aunt will live a long life. Do you like it?"
Cao Ping's eyes lit up and he said, "You don't need to worry about this. I'll go and deliver it."
Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "How can that be done? This is the child's wish to honor his aunt."
Cao Ping glared at him, "Who has the final say here?"
Cao Dongdong said aggrievedly: "Of course it's dad."
Cao Ping asked Zhang Fei again: "Have you given away the money from the official family?"
Zhang Fei said: "Didn't I just say it? It's been decided."
You brat, you're pretty quick to flatter me. Fortunately, they haven't sent it to my aunt yet. Cao Ping frowned and said, "You don't need to worry about the royal license plate. I will arrange it myself."
Cao Dongdong drooped his head and said aggrievedly: "The child can give this license plate to his father, but his father cannot take away the credit for this matter. Dad didn't do anything, it was all the child who did it...!"
Snapped!
There was a crisp sound.
Cao Ping slapped him directly on the face and flicked his wrist. You dare to steal my flattery. Grass!
Zhang Fei covered his face and sighed, Yanei, I have tried my best, you did it yourself.
