Chapter 968: Garage

The job was important, Cao Yong asked Chuyu to pack up a few sets of clothes to change, and then followed the fourth prince to Tongzhou at dawn the next day.

As for bedding and other items, the housekeeper Cao Yuan sent someone to drive a carriage to Tongzhou.

This is not the first time Cao Yong has come to the Guan Cang in Tongzhou, but he just took a quick look. Today he has realized the grandeur of Jingcang.

The official warehouse in Tongzhou is divided into three warehouses, west, middle and south. The Governor's Yamen, Tongzhou is located in Zhongcang, so we first check the warehouse. There is no side of the warehouse, and there are also rice and stones stored in the open air.

When you enter the official warehouse, you will smell like white lime.

Cao Yong followed the fourth prince, followed the Governor of the Cangchang Axinai and Zhang Boxing two, and checked several Cangchang.

At the beginning of Si (9:00 a.m.), all the princes and ministers who were named and co-organized arrived in Tongzhou, and even Sun Zhaqi, the Minister of Revenue who had previously taken leave, was no exception.

It seems that the Fourth Prince had already had a problem with it before, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he assigned his errands separately.

Duke Yanxin, Minister of Revenue Sun Zhaqi and Governor of the Grain Transport Zhang Dayou investigated Zhongcang, Prince Heng's Crown Prince Hongsheng, Minister of War Cha Bina, and Minister of Revenue Cao Yong investigated Xicang; the Fourth Prince and the Nine Gate Admiral Longkodo and the Cabinet Bachelor Wu Ertai investigated Nancang.

The survey will be completed within five days from tomorrow.

The task was a bit heavy, and Cao Yong thought about the account book he saw with the Fourth Prince in the morning. The total number of warehouses in Tongzhou was nearly 400, and the number of warehouses was nearly 500.

After the survey is completed within five days, the days are a little tight.

After the Fourth Prince sent a job, everyone dispersed without delay.

Hongsheng and Cao Yong knew each other as early as when they went to the study room. He was the eldest son of the fifth prince's mansion. Because the fifth prince had no legitimate son, he was named the prince of the prince's mansion as his eldest son.

The fifth prince has always been pure and has few desires. Although he is the son of a favored concubine and is raised in the empress dowager as a child, his qualifications are limited and he is very self-aware and never interferes with power struggles. Therefore, the fifth prince and the same indifferent seventh prince have always been in love with each other, and the children of the two families are closer.

In addition, Hongsheng and Hongshu have a good relationship, so they are less unfamiliar with Cao Yong's cousin.

Cha Bina, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, was the old Wanyan clan of Yongqing. He was only forty years this year and was considered a young and strong clan among the six ministries. He had known Cao Yong for a long time.

Since the three of them are old acquaintances, they are less deserted when they walk along the way.

When we arrived in Xicang, it was already afternoon and it was almost time for meals.

Near Guancang, there are wharfs and garrisons. Commercial dependents are born, and inns and restaurants are indispensable.

Hongsheng asked someone to find a clean restaurant and took Cao Yong and Cha Bina to have dinner. He was very generous. In addition to the private room of the three, he also set up a few seats outside and arranged other followers.

"Tongzhou's roasted catfish is famous, you two have to try it." When the wine and food came up, Hongsheng greeted them with a smile.

Cha Bina family was born into a family and was also a master of eating, drinking and having fun.

After hearing Hongsheng's words, he picked up two chopsticks of fish meat with chopsticks, and sent it to his mouth to taste it, and said seriously. Hongsheng's eyes shiny, and he was completely like a confidant.

Cao Yong remained silent, but he was very impressed.

Cha Bina was a slippery but not greasy person, and he was sperm in the officialdom. After being a Lord of Manchu, he was born in the 47th year of Kangxi and was appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, with a starting point of similarity to Cao Yong. In the next ten years, he was promoted to the Minister of War three times. He was promoted to the Minister of War from the fifth rank to the second rank, and was promoted to the fifth rank.

The meal was filled with guests and guests, and the food was removed. Hongsheng also talked with Cha Bina, which was a joyful look. During this period, he did not forget to say a few words to Cao Yong, which made people feel negligent.

Some of them were off topic, but Hongsheng was still a little unstable. Cao Yong was beside him, thinking in his heart.

Five days of work are already tense, and we should discuss and plan carefully this half day.

Hongsheng is young until he is young. Even if he wants to socialize, he must first act as a capable attitude. In that case, even if he is lazy, others will not feel anything. Now, he will be lazy on the first day and then be diligent, and he will give people the impression that he is lazy.

As Hongsheng's identity, he was a little too enthusiastic about Cha Bina.

What exactly is the reason?

Cao Yong was a little curious, so he had to look at Cha Bina more...

Nancang, outside the site storage warehouse.

Although he came to investigate, the Fourth Prince was not an ordinary official. He brought the head of the hall and several officials from the royal palace, all of whom were old and capable. The Fourth Prince continued to explain and asked Wu Ertai to take everyone down, but he did not have to investigate them in person.

"Cha Bina? Governor of Liangjiang? Why is it him? What's wrong with the Changding?" The Fourth Prince said in surprise and asked in a low voice.

The place where the two of them stood was located between the empty fields, and it was a good place to talk.

"It seems like he was caught by the emperor. The emperor has always attached great importance to the important areas in Jiangnan. The new governor was selected among the six ministries. Although Cha Bina was not the most suitable candidate, he was young and had not been assigned to other people." Longkodo said.

When you are young, you will lose prestige and have no foundation. Without going through external responsibilities, all your interpersonal relationships are in Beijing, so you can check them clearly.

The fourth prince remembered something and said, "This Cha Bina seems to have some friendship with his uncle?"

Longkodo did not shy away and said bluntly: "He had been under Kuixu's disciple in his early years and went to the eighth prince's path to become an official."

The fourth prince felt a little uncomfortable when he heard this. But the "uncle" in front of him also worked as the "Eighth Master Party" in his early years. If he continued, it would be bad to make him feel more concerned.

The fourth prince changed his mind and asked a few questions about Nanyuan's travel.

Longkodo answered one by one. Although the two were just uncles and nephews with status and were not close relatives, they both performed very well in their identities.

The fourth prince did not have the airs of a prince at all, and was completely trust and close to the younger generation; Longkodo no longer spoke and acted as if he was in front of the emperor. He gave several instructions, and his words were all about caring for the younger generation.

However, Longkodo was not interested in investigating grain warehouses, so he rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Your aunt is sick and she is not very good for the past two days. I am really worried."

The Fourth Prince was unhappy when he heard this, but he didn't show it on his face.

The "little aunt" in Longkodo's words is Longkodo's favorite concubine Sier. This Sier is Longkodo's reverse scale. For this Sier, Longkodo's private morals have been criticized over the years.

Although Sier was not a life-long wife, he was in charge of the internal affairs of the uncle's mansion. When Longkodo's father died of illness in the front, Sier was a "child" and handled the funeral, which was impeached by the censor, but it was finally left alone.

Because of this incident, Longkodo's mother was so angry that she couldn't do it. She followed her in less than half a year.

After that, no one was in control. As the hostess of Tong, Sier dared not underestimate the wife of the capital.

"The concubine only got some Ganoderma lucidum. The rare purple lucidum will be sent to my uncle another day." The fourth prince said.

After hearing this, Longkodo immediately became interested.

Sier has been with him for more than 30 years, and now she is over forty years and her beauty is no longer beautiful. Although Longkodo has not lost her love for beauty due to her relaxed color, how can this woman not love beauty? For beauty-beautiful things like Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum, they have always been rare things for noble ladies in the capital.

When the fourth prince saw that he talked about his personal favor, he was speechless without any hesitation.

For a moment, he felt that the person in front of him became stranger.

This is true for many people, they are strict with others and lenient with others. They can make moral mistakes in their own behavior and morality, and they will be somewhat disdainful of others...

Five days later, Cao Yong returned to Zhongcang with dark circles and accompanied Hongsheng and Cha Bina.

On the past five days, Hongsheng learned from the Fourth Prince and asked the three of them to conduct their own actions and investigate more than 100 warehouses in Xicang.

A warehouse covers an area of ​​more than a dozen rooms and stores about ten thousand stones of grain. What does it mean to have ten thousand stones? According to the algorithm of later generations, it is 600 tons. If you load a truck, you can load a fifty vehicles. If you load a train, you can load a train.

Each warehouse must be checked whether the warehouse is full, whether it is new rice, and whether the old rice is moldy and insect-eating.

If this happens, it would be great to be able to walk about ten places in one day.

The granary stockpiled in the open air is more trivial and tiring to survey.

Although Cao Yong brought the chief over, he could not ignore it.

Who made him the fourth prince above? Cao Yong has been "diligent" for all these years. This time he worked with the fourth prince, and there is no reason to destroy his image.

So he kept investigating everywhere and honestly.

There is not enough time during the day, so I can free up time at night. Due to fire prevention, I cannot check the warehouse at night, but I can only check the temporary granary in the square.

After five days of hard work, he didn't even have time to think about the hunting of Nanyuan Ranch. He finally completed his errand on the fifth day.

The two hall leaders followed Cao Yong and looked at Cao Yong, and their eyes went from flattering to admiration.

Hongsheng was a little embarrassed and advised him, saying that he didn't have to "do everything personally".

Although Cao Yong was tired, he felt at ease.

Without having to stand in line, just relying on your own "diligence to be a job", it also adds some weight to the Fourth Prince's eyes.

Then, the moldy rice and Chen Mi were dealt with in the granaries in various places. Everyone stayed in Tongzhou for another three days.

During this period, Cao Yong turned his back on his active attitude in Xicang, saying less and doing less, and he looked like he was following the crowd, without any insight.

Most of the time, he is used to being at peace with his pride and has been busy for a few days, but he is really unable to bear it.

When he returned to his residence, he kept his door closed and just went to bed.

With his identity and grade, he really can't rank among the crowd. He is the fool who is at the limelight at this time.

Cao Yong could understand that his previous "diligence" was only for the Fourth Prince. Now that he has achieved his goal, he will not cause trouble.

On October 16th, everyone finished their errands and returned to the capital from Tongzhou.

At this time, Cao Yong was full of energy and calm, and had recovered his calmness when he left the capital.

On October 17th, the fourth prince submitted a memorial and reported the results of the investigation to the imperial court.

On October 18th, Cao Yong arrived at the Ministry of Revenue and got news that the Governor-General of Liangjiang Changding "retired due to illness", and the Minister of War Cha Bina was promoted to the Governor of Jiangnan and Jiangxi...

Cao Mansion, Lanyuan.

Chu Yu looked at the incense post in his hand and frowned: "Why did she think of sending a post?"

"Who?" Li's birthday is coming, and relatives have been having many birthday gifts recently, but the first time I saw Chu Yu like this, Li was a little curious.
