104 Return to the old business

The picket team was on holiday for three days. Not only did the picket team members and instructors were excited, but even Lu Haoshan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had to go to Jing'an Temple to deal with some things in the next two days, he could do something that he had planned to do for the rest of the day.

It was time to find a beautiful woman to be buried in the quilt. When he returned to the county government office, Lu Haoshan was also a little indifferent to Liu Jinzhu. He sent someone to eliminate the future troubles. He has been setting off for almost a month now, and I don’t know how it is going. However, looking at the unlucky Lu Wenhua’s clothes, the new official is still so shabby. I guess his family is not much better. If the family is not good, most of them can scare it.

Liu Jinzhu used to be a gangster and was best at extortion. Since Lu Haoshan became the county magistrate, Liu Jinzhu has seen all kinds of darkness in the officialdom and his methods are super clever. Lu Haoshan is also very relieved to let him deal with this matter. Now the two can be said to be prosperous and both prosper and lose.

In terms of political affairs, Lu Haoshan was not very worried. Liaodong alone was enough to make the court frustrated. Besides, mobs were everywhere, refugees were caused by disasters, ten pots and seven covers, and they were not cared for by the other side, and they were not cared for by the local area. As long as nothing major happened and tax payments were paid in time, there were usually no problems. In addition, Sichuan’s terrain was special, and it was a famous country of Tianfu. It was Daba Mountain to the north, Wushan to the east, Daliang Mountain to the south, and Snow Mountain Plateau to the west, which surrounded the basin tightly. The land was rugged and difficult to travel, and the waterways were full of dangerous shoals. Since ancient times, foreign transportation has been extremely inconvenient. This special geographical rule has made Sichuan. The saying "The world is in chaos and the rivers are not chaotic, and the world is first and then sank" can illustrate many things.

For the time being, Sichuan is still a paradise now. It is also the best time for Lu Haoshan to grow. After the picket team was established, there was no reaction at all.

If you think about it carefully, you will understand. In the late Ming Dynasty, land annexation became a trend, with rich people connected by roads, and poor people without a place to stand. In order to protect their property, some wealthy families or large landlords mobilized hundreds or thousands of people to protect their property. It is not surprising that many people regard the hired farmers and servants who defect to them as private soldiers. In this way, even a landlord in the countryside can easily pull out dozens of people. Lu Haoshan's concealed patrol team had only more than 300 people. It was claimed that 300 people were established by the government, and it was reasonable that it was not noticed.

Even if the superior knows, he will pretend not to know. Who knows if he will take the opportunity to ask for money and food? Lu Haoshan is also preparing to accept the inquiry from his superior. Unexpectedly, he has been struggling in Niutou Mountain for almost a month and has no movement at all.

Fortunately, after all, he was the county magistrate. There were no maids or Liu Jinzhu, and there were still tragic servants in the yamen. Lu Haoshan handled the official business first. After using dinner and washing and bathing, he told the tragic servants not to disturb him. He lit a few more candles in the room. He brewed a pot of good tea and savored the tea leisurely.

This is the new Ming Dynasty tea sent by Zhao Min in Zhaojiazhuang. Miss Zhao gave it to her. Naturally, it will not be a defective product. The pleasant tea fragrance also has a unique fresh smell of plants, which tastes unique to it.

It's quite interesting. As Zhao Yuqing's daughter, Zhao Min also participated in the procurement of tea. Whenever she purchased new tea from a place, she would send someone to give Lu Haoshan some tastings. Sometimes she would ask Lu Haoshan for advice on the nine-chapter arithmetic problems she encountered. Of course, there were also some of the ones she had finally solved and wanted to test Lu Haoshan. Unfortunately, the arithmetic problems during this period were too simple and could not defeat Lu Haoshan at all. When she received Zhao Min's problem, Lu Haoshan would solve it the next day and then reply to her. In this way, Zhao Min was even more impressed by Lu Haoshan. The two of them passed the letters from the wild geese every now and then passed on the letters. Slowly, a trace of emotion was slowly spreading in the book...

If tea is compared to a woman, then Zhao Min is like Longjing in front of the rain. The tea aroma is rich and the tea aroma is long, so she is definitely the best "good tea".

When a person does what he likes, he will become focused. He spends more time and is as tiring as he does, and Lu Haoshan will be no exception.

He lets all the outsiders go away, stay alone, and drinks tea to calm himself down, so that he can concentrate and look more focused. If Liu Jinzhu saw Lu Haoshan's state, he would know that Brother Shan would use his skills to be fake and real.

That's right, Lu Haoshan is preparing to resume his old business and get some documents and tea quotes required by the Tea-Horse Exchange.

No one will let go of the fat piece of tea and horse trading, and the court will not let go of it, so the tea horse department and tea inspection office were set up. The officials along the way would not let go. Whether it was the government or the garrison, they would try every means to pass the geese and make a fortune. Many mobs, bandits or private armed forces would also ambush them from it and do business without charge. Even some merchants in the same industry would kill and rob, and the picket teams could protect the smooth progress of the transaction, but in order to successfully pass the tea inspection team and the garrison, some necessary procedures would be done. Of course, Lu Haoshan would not be willing to spend a large amount of money to buy it, so he would do it himself.

Zhao Yuqing has sent someone to inquire several times, asking about the situation of tea singling, because he has already purchased tea in full. By then, the tea singling and other documents have not been completed yet. Wouldn't that be a waste of time and throw all the money in? In order to appease him, Lu Haoshan always said with certainty that there is no problem. He was about to set off in one month, so it was time to get out the tea singling out.

After two cups of tea, Lu Haoshan began to become as calm as a "virgin". He took out information about the format of tea quotations, and two recently released tea quotations, and began to study them carefully. If you want to fake, you must first understand the object of the fraud, know the object of the fraud, and take care of every detail of the object, so that you can get the real one by one.

Fortunately, it is located in the Ancient Tea-Horse Road and is in the position of the county magistrate. It also has the responsibility of checking tea and preventing people from selling private tea. These things belong to the system, and the county government naturally have a record. Lu Haoshan doesn't have to spend time getting information, just transfer the information. This is the benefit of the incumbents.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Haoshan picked up a new tea entries and began to study them carefully, including paper, content, seals, official handwriting, various patterns, secret notes, etc., and compared the actual objects with the records in the information one by one, without missing any subtle points. Sometimes they were taken carefully in the candlelight, and even carefully looked at the signatures. It was probably that even the most careful woman saw them, she was impressed by Lu Haoshan's care. It was wrong, so she should be cautious.

Regarding signatures, Lu Haoshan heard a story. He said that there was a general who, because he was illiterate, when signing or issuing combat orders to his subordinates, he would just click on the signature at will with a brush. Later, a subordinate did not want to execute a relatively dangerous order, so he made a report requesting exemption from war, and pretended to be him and clicked on the signature. Later, when the two confronted each other, the general asked someone to bring out his signed documents and looked at the sunshine. Then everyone found that the "signature" he had clicked had a small pinhole. It turned out that although the general did not recognize words, he was still very smart. He was afraid that others would pretend to be him, so he secretly put a needle in the hair. When he clicked, the tip of the needle would pierce the paper and leave traces. It was this careful that he saved his reputation.

Only by being careful can one make a thousand-year-old ship.

After a long time, Lu Haoshan slowly breathed a sigh of relief and gently put down the tea. He had already understood the tea-style style, secret notes, conventions, etc.

The paper is made of official paper, a paper made of birch branches. This kind of paper also has it. It is not surprising and can be easily solved. The patterns and secret notes are not complicated. Lu Haoshan can solve it within half an hour of asking himself. For example, styles, handwriting, etc., they can be made to the point of being fake and real. The only thing that is more troublesome is the seal.

That's right, it's a seal. The tea quotation is just a piece of paper, which is about the size of the workbook in later generations. It records which tea checkpoint is issued, the type, quantity, taxes to be paid, etc., and then it is covered with dense seals, the seals of the local county government in the place of origin, the seals of the tea farm, the seals of the local tea horse seals, the seals of the tea inspection institute, the seals of the tax payments, etc. There are more than ten pieces in a row, which means that according to these styles, Lu Haoshan has to privately seal more than ten seals of different sizes and forms.

This is definitely a big project. Even if a seal only takes half an hour, it takes half a day to stay and stay asleep, and then it has to imitate various signatures. The project volume is quite large. Lu Haoshan thought that it would be wonderful to have a seal engraving machine from later generations.

After sighing for a while, Lu Haoshan quickly entered the working state. He just closed his eyes and thought for a while, a whole set of processes appeared in his mind. When his eyes opened, he had become a heavy bamboo in his chest. He took out a bunch of stone strips of different sizes from the drawer, chose a little, picked up a stone strip, gestured for a while, and soon began to carve it.

As for seals, for personal purposes, they are mostly carved with jade, while for official seals, they are mostly made of metal. If you want to say it is fast, of course, wood seals are the fastest. Later generations have people who use carrots to pick seals, but that is too unprofessional. When the seals of gold and stone are knocked on, the paper obviously has a concave and convex feeling, and there are also techniques when printing. For example, the original copper seal was replaced by lithographs. In order to highlight the concave and convex feeling, a special water should be used to gently moisten the place to print to make the paper soft, so that the effect is very similar to that of copper seals. As a fake master, to achieve the ultimate effect of making every detail a holiday.

More than ten seals, various patterns, secret notes, and handwriting must be done with one hand and one stroke at a time. It is undoubtedly a big project. It is not enough to be less patient. However, for Lu Haoshan, it is just a pediatric department, and it doesn’t take a day. This is a small job. When Lu Haoshan did it, he even had the mood to whistle. As long as he was always doing it, he had to do something for one or two months. That was a big job. The most complicated thing Lu Haoshan had ever done was to build an island cultural relic. In order to make it realistic, the tens of thousands of small cracks were made for nearly two months and repeatedly modified to achieve the effect of natural fission. It took a total of half a year. Of course, the thought was not in vain. He had to get 300 million US dollars from the Japanese, or obtained it under the anti-complex identification of more than ten so-called Japanese cultural relics experts. During the transaction, the buyer presented the check with his smile on his face.

This has become the most proud thing in Lu Haoshan's memory. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better, updated and faster!
