Chapter 364: Taking Skills

Zhang Guoji went back in depressedly, carrying a hundred stocks given to him by the emperor. When he went home, he had to get silver for the emperor. This time, the emperor asked him to take stocks first and then the silver for his daughter's sake. In the future, he had to get silver first and then the stocks first.

The emperor made a lot of confidentiality requests, and Zhang Guoji was a little dazed. He touched the hundred stocks in his arms, and thought about the nearly 100,000 taels of silver he had just saved, and he disappeared. I don’t know if it was right or wrong.

The emperor asked him to sell stocks in a semi-public manner, but he was not allowed to make any statement. The source of the stocks claimed that they were made through Queen Yi'an. Even if they sold, they had to choose people and sell them to those nobles and officials in the capital. This matter was mysterious and mysterious.

Shaanxi.

Zhou Yanru ran for four days, and his butt was worn out and he couldn't walk anymore. Not to mention riding a horse, it was a problem to walk. After a little movement, Zhou Yanru grinned in pain.

Zhou Yanru lay in the room at the post station, inhaling constantly, and it was needless to say that his butt hurt. Not only it hurt, but he was also very frustrated. He originally thought that he had abandoned the group of people and galloped at a speed of 300 miles, so he could reach the Yellow River in a short time, and perfectly complete the task of buying a raft, and find a good place for his butt in the future. However, Zhou Yanru still underestimated the distance of 300 miles, and gritted his teeth and ran wildly for four days. He couldn't stand it anymore. His butt was worn out, and Zhou Yanru felt that his will had reached its limit.

Zhou Yanru cried. From childhood to adulthood, he had never felt so wronged. He had never suffered such hardships. He shed tears silently in a corner of a station in northwest Shaanxi. This trip was probably a disaster. He still couldn't run to the edge of the Yellow River in time, so he could not complete the task assigned to him by Xu Guangqi. It would be hard to say the position of the imperial envoy in the future. Now his butt is difficult to move, let alone riding a horse.

Zhou Yanru wiped his tears and didn't know what to do. How important is the matter in Shaanxi, how important is the transfer of disaster victims, how important is the raft to transport disaster victims, he knew all of these, and naturally knew how important it was to reach the Yellow River in time. Unfortunately, now he can only lie in this inn and cannot move. Not to mention the Yellow River, the Yellow River is still hundreds of miles away.

What should I do? Should I try my best to continue running? Or should I recover from my injuries here? Zhou Yanru was in pain, regret, exhaustion, etc., and fell asleep in a daze.

The next morning, Zhou Yanru walked out of the room with his butt limp. Yesterday's injury was not healed at all. I am afraid that he would not be able to leave today. Zhou Yanru was about to accept his fate. If he got on the horse again, his butt would be gone and his life would be gone. What else would he say in the future?

The men under him had already prepared the horses and packed their luggage, and waited for the imperial envoy to wait for the emperor.

Seeing his subordinates gathered together and waiting for him without any trouble, Zhou Yanru felt ashamed and sighed that he used to look down on these people and despise these people. Now he realized that it was difficult for these people, and he was indeed too frivolous before.

He said he would rest today and not leave. Zhou Yanru couldn't say anything. He said he would leave, but it hurts, and it would hurt when he touched something. He was in a dilemma. Zhou Yanru's eyes lit up. A river flowed through his eyes. The river water was not very clear, but it was a relatively wide river. Zhou Yanru instantly became blessed to his heart. The emperor could provide relief to the river, immigrate along the river, and Xu Guangqi could carry people with a leather raft. Why didn't he have a river leading to the upper reaches of the Yellow River? He floated down on a leather raft? At the speed of 400 miles a day, he could still go to the predetermined place earlier. This butt could also take a day off.

Zhou Yanru instantly figured it out that the emperor took advantage of the situation of immigration, and Xu Guangqi also took advantage of the situation of immigration. Why didn’t he do it? Aren’t the victims going to float down on a raft? Why didn’t he get a raft to float down the lower reaches of the Yellow River?

"Official ministers, postal ministers, can postal ministers be there?" Zhou Yanru shouted loudly in joy.

The postman who left the post station received the top scholar yesterday and was very serious. He got up early this morning to serve him. He heard the top scholar shouting at him, and hurried over and said with a down-eyed look: "Haha, Lord Zhou, is the little official here? How dare you ask the master and ask him again?"

Zhou Yanru asked happily: "Yichen, do you know what the name of this river is? Where does it flow? But it flows to the Yellow River?"

The official thought for a while and said, "When I say to Master Zhou, this river is called Luopu River, which is a branch of the Yellow River, and the downstream is the Yellow River..." The official thought for a while and quickly answered the words clearly.

Zhou Yanru said happily: "Yichen, are you right? Does this river really lead to the Yellow River? to Ningxia Town?"

"If you go back to the master, you can't make a mistake. Our inn is called Weizhou Institute. This river is naturally the Luopu River. It's not wrong. It really leads to the Yellow River. And you can go to Ningxia Town. Please ask this?" The little official asked in confusion.

Zhou Yanru said again: "Okay, it's good to connect to the Yellow River, and it's good to go to Ningxia Town. Do you know that this river can take a raft? I want to make a raft to Ningxia Town." Zhou Yanru thought about it and said again.

The official looked at the top scholar in surprise, very surprised. He usually received officials, but he didn't want to walk around and stop. He wished he could walk twenty or thirty miles a day, but he was not like the top scholar. He heard that he was running 300 miles a day, so he was crazy. When he heard that he was going to take a raft to Ningxia Town, the official questioned whether there was something wrong with his ears.

Facing the surprised expression of the post minister, Zhou Yanru had no time to talk to him and said, "The post minister just tells the truth. Now that the matter is urgent, I must immediately rush to the Yellow River in Ningxia Town. Do the post minister know that there are rafters nearby. I want to take the raft to Ningxia Town?" Zhou Yanru changed his expression and said with a pleasant look.

The official did not come back to his senses for a long time. When he heard Zhou Yanru say it again, he began to think about the problem. After thinking for a while, he said: "Master Zhou, if you want to talk about rafts, there is no one in our Shaanxi River, but the degree of danger varies. Sir, you really have to float down on rafts. This is really dangerous!" The official looked at Zhou Yanru in shock, and couldn't figure out why this top scholar and a high-ranking official in the court must have been desperate.

"It's okay, the official said that there are rafters nearby, or the official introduced some rafters to me, and I would like to thank me." Zhou Yanru was overjoyed. He finally didn't have to grind his butt anymore. Wouldn't it be a convenience to float down on a raft? It was also an early experience and verified the feasibility of a raft.

"Go back to Master Zhou, the Luopu River has always been able to float rafts. There are also many people who make a living near our Weizhou Institute. The officials are willing to find some rafters for the adults." The post official is quite familiar with the local area and very happy to agree to find rafters for Zhou Yanru.

Zhou Yanru was really like a savior. This time, his butt was saved and his official position was also preserved.

"I don't know the name of the official's honorary surname. Today, I will repay you for your kindness to relieve the siege today." Zhou Yanru wanted to kiss the official, and his butt finally didn't need to be worn anymore. His butt had already shown signs of purulentity. If he rode a horse again, he would be afraid that his butt would not be able to be kept.

The post minister was flattered and said, "The officials dare not rush to the top. The surname is Zhang, the name is Hongzhi, and the courtesy name is Anru. He is the post minister of Wating Post."

"Okay! Zhang Anru, I will write down you. When I finish my job in the future, I will definitely want the court to report your achievements." Zhou Yanru was so happy that he jumped up and hurriedly gave people a promise.

"Thank you for your care. I thank you. Then I will send someone to find Pipaoke and take care of you. Please stay at the post station for a while and you will come." The little post official hurriedly thanked him. This time, he finally climbed a big tree.

"Okay, then I will wait for Zhang Yichen here. An Ru went to recruit directly, saying that I would not lose the money of Pifake. This time, I will have a big deal to recruit them and let them just come..." Zhou Yanru said proudly. It is an established strategy to rent Pifake for silver. Then, spending money can naturally be generous.

The post minister hurriedly said goodbye and immediately went to find Pipa Ke. This time, he was in a hurry to operate. This master was the top scholar and the top figure of the Donglin Party. If he climbed up this high branch, he could also move from the post minister.

On the sixth day, Zhou Yanru had been floating on the raft for a day. Zhou Yanru's trouble came again. This river was said to be able to ride on the raft, but it was really dangerous. On the way, several people had been lost, and even the silver he brought had been lost. When he arrived in Ningxia Town, if there was no silver, he would be afraid that the rafters would be forced to float down to save people. He would be convinced. However, at this time, Zhou Yanru could not guarantee that he would complete this matter within one or two days. The idea was to make money. With money, Zhou Yanru was not afraid of not being able to hire people. However, now there are several packets of silver, and even a few people have been lost. This "drift" was shocking.

Zhou Yanru has now completely turned into black charcoal, lying on the raft, looking anxiously in front of him. He also tied a sheepskin fetus and said, "Cruiseman, where is this place? How long will it take to get to the Yellow River?"

"Go back to this great official, it is close to Shajing and the territory of Lingzhou. Going further forward, you can enter the Yellow River. The place you want to go to is here." This rafter often walks this way and is very familiar with it. He also takes care of these "distinguished guests" on his raft. Unfortunately, several of these land ducks were thrown into the river, and they must be feeding fish and shrimps when they are thrown. There is nothing we can do about it, so Zhou Yanru had a skin fetus on his body.

"Okay, the boatman, drive quickly and enter the Yellow River as soon as possible. The sooner I arrive, the more rewards I will receive..." Zhou Yanru lay on the raft and said anxiously that for this errand, he had already thought of everything he could do and suffered all the hardships, in order to arrive on the edge of the Yellow River as soon as possible, where a huge contribution was waiting for him.

However, Zhou Yanru's trouble also came. He was originally a fast horse and light ride, and he brought limited silver. He even lost several packs of bags on this sheepskin raft. People could go to the Yellow River in time. Unfortunately, money could not be money. Zhou Yanru was not sure that he could recruit enough rafters and buy enough rafts. If the team behind him sent the silver, wouldn't it be useless to get here first?

Zhou Yanru lay on the raft and began to think about it, getting some money from those people and getting some money to save the emergency. He was also thinking about who on this ground belonged to them, or had some friendship with them. He said that the power of the Donglin Party was still a clear family. As the leading figure of the Donglin Party, this must be mastered. However, in the northwest, the power of the Donglin Party is relatively weak, and Zhou Yanru was worried again... If this official is in court,

If you don’t have a support in the middle, you can’t sit steadily, so you have more or less a close connection with the court. Zhou Yanru has been thinking about it for a long time and has some clues. He has also made up his mind to get some money to help you, and he has also made up his mind. He has completed it in more than five days to run to the Yellow River. Although his butt hurts, it is worth it. It is estimated that the seat of the imperial envoy in the future will be indispensable. It is only a matter of time before entering the cabinet. Zhou Yanru thought of this and became more beautiful again. This trip was not in vain.

Zhou Yanru looked at the river's rafts ready to go and slowly drifted downstream, and his heart was naturally beautiful. When he arrived at Ningxia Guard, the local government and immigration officials had already gathered a large number of rafts as required by the expedited letters, and the rafters were waiting for him to go.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yanru must arrive on time no matter how hard it is. This is a critical moment. If the raft is only driven downstream at his command, then the credit will naturally be remembered on his own head. If he fails to arrive on time, the raft will still have to drive down. However, this credit has nothing to do with him, and there is also a crime. At this historic critical moment, Zhou Yanru also used his strength and tried his best to rush here, in order to get here at the agreed time and wave the historic key hand.

"Sir, it's really spectacular! Even the Yellow River is almost filled with it!" a local official flattered.

"No, good, this time, the transport of disaster victims is an unprecedented event, and it costs tens of millions of taels of silver. This scale and this scene are naturally rare in a thousand years. Haha, it is all thanks to Your Majesty.... These rafts are all to go downstream to save people. Haha, although there are so many now, there are more rafts downstream, and there are more rafts needed. Adults should have read the report. Shaanxi will slaughter 200,000 animals for immigration. Haha, how many rafts do this? In ancient times, there are rafts that break the river. Today, in our court, there are rafts covering the river!" Zhou Yanru was very excited and bragging and spanking with officials.

The officials were also happy to flatter the Donglin Party’s leading figure, the deputy Immigration Commissioner, and the top scholar. Such a high-ranking official who was so young and had a high position will have a great future. It is almost certain to enter the cabinet. This naturally requires flattery. Even if you don’t have a favor, you cannot break the relationship. Otherwise, if you don’t care in the court in the future, it will be troublesome. Therefore, officials of all sizes of Ningxia Guard came to the Yellow River to pay homage to this purple-red man, and also take a look at this rare and spectacular scene.

There are countless people and countless rafts near the edge of the Yellow River. Many local immigration officials have organized people to register for those rafters. How big is the raft, how many veins are there, how many people can carry, what is the name, where people, household registration, etc., and then they will be fined one by one. Then they will be given four to six taels of silver, a pack of dry food, and a "waist card" engraved with names and other contents. This is to recruit these people and get these things, and then they can float down. When they float to Yansui, people will naturally receive them and record the contents of the "waist card", and people there will start formal immigration work.

Seeing that the scene was also great, Ningxia Guards had all come to see that there were imperial envoys coming, and they all shrank their heads and listened to the arrangements of these people.

Fortunately, it was for the immigration of the Department of Agricultural and Social Affairs, so the rafters were relieved. It was not requisition, and they didn’t have to bring food to work for others as hard labor. It was to save people. The kindness in their hearts was still not destroyed. Many rafters came with their rafts. I heard that there was still money, so many people even planned to watch if it was true.

Zhou Yanru has "borrowed" a lot of silver from local officials over the years. As his leading figure in the Donglin Party, deputy imperial envoy, etc., although he was in a remote northwest of Ningxia, it still worked. When several officials heard that he was going to "borrow" the silver, they agreed without hesitation, which made Zhou Yanru feel relieved and borrowed a lot of silver.

Then, Zhou Yanru took out the silver and placed it brightly on the river beach. One person came to get a piece of silver. This was the "opening" silver. After the work was done, there were more rewards. There were more and more people coming to receive the silver, and there were more and more people. Many people never knew that they had made their rafts out in that corner.

There are more and more raft tourists, and there are more and more rafts.

The river surface has been covered, and it is as if it can cross the river by stepping on a raft.

Zhou Yanru was happy to see these rafts. This time, he had accomplished his job. It took him only more than six days to get from Xi'an Prefecture to the Yellow River, and then spent a day hiring many rafters. Then, in four or five days, these rafts can go to Yansui and Fugu. In more than ten days, he sent so many rafts to Fugu County. This is a great contribution. Fugu County is the first place for the civil unrest. It is natural to explain how important it is to solve the civil unrest there to Shaanxi. This is naturally self-evident. This wave of historic hand is quite important.

Zhou Yanru looked at the rafts all over the river, and kept hiking people's heads, countless rafts coming from afar, and the rafts that floated downstream from time to time. He decided to set up his office location on the bank of the river and watch these "credits" float downstream.
Chapter completed!
