After getting off the official ship, Gouzi hired a carriage.
The group of people went straight to Fengjiazhuang.
Feng Yibo sat in the carriage and watched the changing scenery outside the window.
It actually produced a strange feeling of strangeness.
Fortunately, this feeling began to dissipate as we got closer to Fengjiazhuang.
Instead, there was an increasingly strong sense of familiarity.
After waiting, people began to greet the dog sitting on the shaft one after another.
Feng Yibo's heart suddenly fell to the ground.
He didn't know what the reason was.
Maybe this is just a shyness in being close to home.
"Crackling~Crackling!"
Before I even got out of the car, firecrackers went off.
Long before they entered the village, they were discovered by Zhuang Ding's secret whistle.
One person was separated and took a shortcut back to report the news.
Mengzi got the letter and immediately informed Uncle Chen and Aunt Meng.
There was a flurry of excitement.
Finally, before Feng Yibo arrived at the gate, he was ready.
At this time, the main door of Feng's mansion was opened wide, and everyone was waiting outside to greet him.
"Congratulations, uncle, for passing the third prize!"
"Congratulations, sir, on your return home in fine clothes!"
As soon as Feng Yibo got off the car, everyone shouted slogans in unison.
Although it is a little uneven, it shows that it is done with care.
"reward!"
Feng Yibo showed a long-lost smile and waved his hand.
Mengzi had already asked someone to bring over two baskets of copper coins.
Together with Gouzi, he smiled and threw a lot of coins at the door of Feng's house.
For a while.
The servants of the Feng Mansion, as well as the bankers who heard the news, came over to watch the excitement.
Everyone cheered and eagerly rushed for the lucky money.
It doesn't matter if you have more money or less.
Mainly because I want to get acquainted with this beautiful man who has returned to his hometown in fine clothes.
That full body of culture.
Feng Yibo entered the mansion surrounded by everyone.
There are people waiting to wash away the dust of the world.
After dinner, we rested.
That night, Feng Yibo slept particularly soundly.
The next day I slept until I woke up naturally and then rushed to Jinling.
He was going to report to the Ministry of Household Affairs and submit the documents issued by the cabinet.
Anyway, get the start-up capital first.
Only in this way can we recruit troops.
Then I have to go to the Ministry of War to confirm armaments, food and pay.
There is also the issue of residency.
In terms of residence, he actually has several options.
However, this matter still needs to be reviewed by the Ministry of War, and may need to be considered again.
Gouzi was sent by him to vote for him.
Make an appointment to visit Nanjing Camp Commander Mu Kun tomorrow.
Since it was him who recommended him, it was appropriate to go over and pay him a visit.
By the way, let’s test his real purpose in recommending himself.
Distinguish between friends and foes.
"Twenty thousand taels of silver, you can have someone withdraw it at any time."
The Ministry of Finance was doing official business, and it seemed like they were not embarrassing him.
But the words of thanks have not yet been uttered.
The other party then said, "But the rules cannot be broken."
"oh?"
Feng Yibo's heart sank and he asked:
"I'm new here, what are the rules?"
The household official didn't even raise his eyelids and said slowly:
"The rules are the rules. If the household department receives silver, the fire cost is 20%."
I've only heard that there are additional fire costs when collecting taxes.
This is the first time I heard that there is still a fire cost during distribution?
Feng Yibo frowned and said, "I wonder what I call you, sir?"
"What's wrong?"
After hearing Feng Yibo's words, the man finally raised his eyelids.
But he sneered and said angrily:
"Tsk, do you still want to sue me?"
No matter what he said, no matter what tone he used.
As long as you don't give your name.
Anyone with a discerning eye will understand.
He felt guilty.
Feng Yibo sneered in his heart.
He deliberately kept a straight face and said displeasedly:
"Don't you even recognize the ministers in the cabinet?"
"Haha, cabinet?"
The man was still pretending to be disdainful, and then said impatiently:
"If you don't accept it, forget it. The money will be allocated elsewhere tomorrow."
Speaking of this, the man was also joking.
"When the time comes, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. It's useless to go around begging grandpa to sue grandma!"
Want to scare me?
If Feng Yibo was really ignorant, he would really be frightened by him.
pity.
My own knowledge is beyond the imagination of the other party.
His face was expressionless and he confirmed again in a cold voice:
"It has been a rule since ancient times that fire expenses should be returned to the public. My lord, are you sure you must collect fire expenses when you give out money?"
"snort!"
The man snorted coldly and stopped talking to Feng Yibo.
"Okay! Since the Lord said that the money is gone, I will go back to the capital to report to Mr. Zhang Ge."
Feng Yibo didn't bother, turned around and left.
As he walked, he muttered:
"I am worried that the suppression of Japanese invaders will be difficult, and I can't find an excuse to shirk it!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk! God helps me!"
There was a bit of excitement in his tone.
Who doesn't scare people?
Before he even reached the door, he was already humming a ditty.
"Wait for the lights, wait for the lights, wait for the lights, Deng Deng Deng Deng Deng~"
Just now, Feng Yibo's voice was cold and stern, as if he was about to quarrel.
Now he suddenly left.
The household official was stunned for a moment.
When he reacted, he shouted from behind in a panic:
"When did I say no more?"
Feng Yibo ignored him and continued walking out.
When he walked to the door, the man behind him couldn't catch up.
Suddenly a man blocked the way and said:
"Ouch! Is this Feng Shi from 'Only Hope Hai Bo Ping'?"
Feng Yibo saw that the other party was wearing a scarlet robe with peacocks embroidered on it.
You will know that he is a third-grade official.
Then he saluted and said: "I am lowered by the official Feng Yuan. I have met your Excellency."
"You are an imperial envoy, you don't need to worship me."
The man helped Feng Yibo up with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty, Bai Jiajin, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs in Nanjing, heard that Shi Feng mentioned his name, so he came here specially to get to know our young talents from Jinling."
"It turns out that it's Mr. Bai who's in front of you!"
Feng Yibo saluted again, and then said regretfully:
"It's a pity that Feng has something to do today. When he is free, he will come to see you again."
"etc!"
The household official just now saw that he was about to leave and said anxiously:
"Master Feng, you haven't received your money yet!"
"silver?"
Feng Yibo looked back at him and said suddenly:
"Didn't you say that if you come back tomorrow, it will be gone?"
"Yes, isn't it still available now?"
The household official had already come around and stood in front of Feng Yibo.
She also tried her best to smile at him.
"I'm in a hurry to go to the Ministry of War now. Let's talk about this tomorrow."
Feng Yibo pretended to leave.
tomorrow?
The household official was immediately anxious and wanted to stop Feng Yibo.
"Shi Feng said, this is all due to my lack of discipline. You should take the money, otherwise it will be difficult for me to explain."
Bai Jiajin suddenly spoke up.
"What does this mean, Mr. Bai?"
Feng Yibo continued to act stupid, pointed at the man and said, "He just said he wouldn't get it."
Bai Jiajin smiled and said, "You can get it now."
"Yeah?"
Feng Yibo stopped pretending to be stupid and said:
"Then give me 20% of the fire cost."
Bai Jiajin's smile froze and he was about to speak.
"You!" The official who was working earlier was also anxious.
"Kidding!"
Feng Yibo suddenly laughed again.
He looked at Bai Jiajin first, then looked at the official and said:
"Didn't you make the same joke just now?"
