"Line up! Line up! Prepare your household registration and thirty cents for handling fee. Fifty cars can enter at a time."

In front of the parade ground, Tao Yonghan was seen craning his neck and shouting loudly.

"And you charge a handling fee?"

"You are talking nonsense... Deputy... Deputy Commander?"

Tao Yonghan looked back and saw that it was Cao Ping. He was so frightened that he almost collapsed. He hurriedly said, "I deserve to die, I deserve to die. I didn't know it was the deputy commander..."

“That’s enough!”

Cao Ping waved his hand and asked in a low voice, "Were all these people invited by Zhang San?"

Tao Yonghan hurriedly said, "It shouldn't be. It's not easy to invite so many people."

Cao commented: "In other words, Zhang San didn't send patrolmen to find people to line up here?"

"No!"

...

...

Tao Yonghan shook his head and said, "I dare to guarantee this."

Cao Ping was puzzled, "This is really strange. He cursed so fiercely before, why did he rush to get the license plate?"

Tao Yonghan shook his head and said, "I don't know either. I slept here last night and got up at three o'clock in the morning. There was already a long queue here."

What tricks did that brat use? Cao Ping was confused and asked, "Oh, right! You also charge a handling fee of thirty cents?"

Tao Yonghan hurriedly said, "Deputy Commander, we didn't make a penny from these thirty cents."

Cao Ping was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean?"

Tao Yonghan said: "It was all the craftsmen who made money. Zhang San hired dozens of carpenters, who were responsible for carving the license plate numbers on the carriages. Oh, and there were also clerks who wrote the license plate numbers on the saddles."

Cao Ping frowned and said, "We have plenty of craftsmen in the infantry. We can ask them to help. Why spend this money?"

Tao Yonghan whispered, "That's what I told Zhang San at the time, but Zhang San said that these were small amounts of money, and a fancy license plate number was big money."

Cao commented: "What a fancy license plate number?"

"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 sold to the highest bidder."

"It's just too fancy." Cao Ping snorted, "Only a fool would spend money on this."

Tao Yonghan said: "It seems that Yanei bought several pieces."

The corners of Cao Ping's mouth twitched a few times, and he said gloomily, "Is Zhang San here?"

Tao Yonghan hurriedly said, "Here they are! They are at the training ground on the other side of the river with Yanei and his men."

Cao Ping frowned, "Are they also putting up license plates over there?"

"No."

Tao Yonghan shook his head and said, "I don't know what they are doing either."

......

"Hey! Brother, what are you doing? Waiting in such a long line."

But a middle-aged man with disheveled hair and a dark face asked an old man driving a donkey cart.

The old man said, "Don't you know that the license plates will be issued starting today? Let's wait here to get them."

The middle-aged man was surprised and said, "License plates? But I heard that everyone is against this and said they won't come to get them. Don't you know that?"

The old man laughed out loud, "What's the point of just complaining? They've started distributing them, so they must be license plates. If we don't accept them, we won't be allowed to drive on the street if we don't have license plates, and we'll lose our livelihood."

A young man behind said, "Uncle, don't complain. Maybe it will be good for you in the future."

The middle-aged man asked, "Young man, where do you get this from?"

The young man said, "Didn't the newspaper say that there might be a license plate restriction in the future? If we have a license plate then, we will be very popular."

The middle-aged man chuckled and said, "You believe this too?"

The young man said, "Why don't you believe it? The city is so small, and there are so many carriages and horses that people can't even walk on the road. Just wait, it won't be long before the road is closed."

The old man chuckled and said, "Young man, if it's really as you said, that would be great. We have the license plate, so we are the only ones who can haul the goods."

The young man laughed and said, "If it weren't for this, why would we have to line 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 towards the river with the young man.

This middle-aged man was Wang Anshi.

And that young man was Lu Huiqing.

Lu Huiqing wondered, "Master, everyone is obviously against this, why are there so many people queuing up to get a license plate?"

Wang Anshi pointed to the line and said, "Look, what kind of people are lining up here?"

Lu Huiqing didn't even look at them, and said, "I observed them when I came here, and they are all ordinary people or businessmen."

Wang Anshi nodded and said, "Yes! But no official has, because the officials know that as long as no one goes to collect the cards, the law cannot be enforced. But the people don't know, they are trying to make a living. If they really can't get the cards, their livelihood will be gone. How can they dare to gamble?"

At this point, Wang Anshi frowned slightly, "If you have donkeys or horses at home, you must register them quickly, or you will be bullied by that kid."

Lu Huiqing was surprised and asked, "What do you mean, Master?"

Wang Anshi said, "Given Zhang San's vindictive personality, I think he will definitely limit the number of license plates, and those officials must have come as a last resort. Once he limits the number of license plates, or makes it more difficult to get a license plate, humph, those officials will not be able to ride in horse-drawn carriages, and will have to rent a car."

Lu Huiqing was surprised and said, "Master, you overestimate Zhang San. Even if Deputy Commander Bu came in person, he would not have the power to do so."

Wang Anshi smiled and said, "Now everyone is complaining that this law goes against the will of the people, but when these people have license plates, they will naturally expect others to not have license plates. When that time comes, he will restrict the number of plates, which is what the people want. Just wait and see, when the time comes, Zhang San will definitely extort money from them."

Lu Huiqing was stunned when he heard this.

Is this ok?

......

"It's fake! This must be fake! These are all people invited by Zhang San."

Gu Ji, who had just come here to watch the show, almost popped his eyes out when he saw the scene.

He absolutely doesn't believe it.

This is so fake.

No one supports this method, it is impossible for there to be so many people supporting it.

The servant beside him suddenly said, "Master! Isn't that Old Li from Baifan Building?"

Gu Ji took a closer look and found that it was indeed the driver that Baifanlou often sent to deliver wine to his house. "It's really him. Go and call him over."

"yes."

After a while, the servant came over with a middle-aged man.

"Li Er has seen what happened at the Valley Temple."

The man clasped his fists and saluted.

Gu Ji asked, "Li Er, why are you here to queue up?"

Li Er said: "As for the matter of Huigu Temple, it was my master who asked me to come."

Gu Ji was furious: "Is your Mr. Fan blind or deaf? I have already told you not to bother with this matter. This law cannot be enforced."

Li Er said with a sad face: "My master said that this is just thunder without rain. There is already such a big noise outside, and the court has not withdrawn the license plate order. This matter...is...nothing is possible, and this money...is not much, so..."

In fact, this is the voice of the businessmen. It’s useless to shout loudly. The court will not take it back, so who dares to gamble?

Gu Ji angrily shouted, "You rats! You are a bunch of rats! We ministers don't even have license plates, if they want to arrest someone, they should arrest us first, what are you afraid of? Go back quickly, I promise you, it's okay if you don't get the license plate."

"ah?"

Li Er looked back and said, "Gu Si Shi, look... there are so many people, he can't be fake!"

Gu Ji said: "You are stupid! They were all invited by Zhang San."

Li Er said: "That shouldn't be the case! I know many of the people here."

"You...are really useless. Okay, okay, your family is rich, do whatever you want. I won't care."

After saying this, he left angrily.

On the shore, under the willow tree, three old men were silently watching the runaway Gu Ji.

These three people were Sima Guang, Lu Gongzhu and Wen Yanbo.

Lu Gong said: "Gu Fuqing was so angry that he left. I guess he is not the one we invited."

Wen Yanbo was also confused and wondered, "What kind of evil magic did Zhang San use? Everyone is against it, but so many people come here to register."

Sima Guang stroked his beard and pondered for a while before saying, "Tabloid."

"Tabloid?"

"Um."

Sima Guang nodded and said, "Hearing is not believing, seeing is believing. After all, the newspaper clearly states all the laws and regulations, and the Inspection Office has also posted notices. As for those who object, you say one thing and I say another. The people will definitely choose to believe what they see with their own eyes."

Lu Gong said: "Your words are reasonable. Many people pull goods to make a living. Who dares to gamble with their livelihood? Besides, there is not much money in a year."

Wen Yanbo said thoughtfully: "It seems that what Wang Jiefu said was right. The power of this tabloid should not be underestimated."

These scholars seem to still be living in the past, believing that they can control public opinion with their voices. In the eyes of the people, black and white words are definitely more reliable than shouting.

And the coverage is wide.

It seems that public opinion is against it, but their inner thoughts have actually been controlled by the newspapers.

There are license plate restrictions here and recruitment over there.

Who the hell would dare to bet against this combination of punches?

......

On the other side, Cao Ping also came to the parade ground on the other side of the river. As soon as he entered the parade ground, he heard a cheer.

"good!"

"Brother, you are really good at riding."

"Roar! Yanei! Yanei!"

.....

Cao Ping walked over in the direction of the sound, only to see Cao Dongdong driving a horse-drawn carriage, galloping through a pile of obstacles.

At first glance, Cao Ping knew what his son was doing.

I am taking the second subject test.

That is to say, "follow the water curve", driving on the winding river and quickly bypassing some obstacles.

Subject 1 is "Ming He Luan", which means simply honking the horn, but with a rhythm, not just a dead honking. Bells are hung on the carriage, and the rhythm of the bells is adjusted by the skill of driving horses. There is one rhythm to remind passers-by, one rhythm to meet other cars, and another rhythm to meet people of high status.

Subject three is "passing the Junbiao", which is the start-stop brake.

Subject four is "dancing at the intersection", which is equivalent to an intersection. How do cars pass at an intersection and how do they turn from the avenue into the alley.

In fact, there is also a subject five, but that is a professional field and only soldiers practice it.

While I was stunned, I heard a burst of cheers.

Cao Ping looked up and saw that Cao Dongdong had already driven the carriage and passed the finish line.

"Yanei, 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 and said, "Of course, as long as the imperial guards practice, we can do it, such as riding and archery."

Ma Xiaoyi chuckled and said, "I'm just a little bit worse than my brother."

They are all children of the three yamen, and have been in the military training grounds since childhood. They are really proficient in all kinds of skills.

“Ahem!”

Hearing two coughs, Cao Dongdong subconsciously looked up and said, "Daddy."

"Deputy Commander!"

"Uncle Cao!"

"master!"

A group of people saluted quickly.

Cao Ping came over and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Fei said, "I asked Yanei to demonstrate this driving test item."

Cao Ping looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

Zhang Fei said: "I want to optimize this test item and then issue a new driver's license. If you don't have a driver's license, you will not be allowed to drive."

This is going to kill someone!

Cao Ping almost laughed when he heard this. "I have never seen a yamen servant as dedicated as you. Why do you do so many things? If you want to be promoted, so many ministers recommended you before, but you didn't want to, I really don't understand."

Zhang Fei chuckled, "I love what I do. If I do something, I'll do it to the best of my ability. Now that I have a license plate, I must also get a driver's license. This way, we can ensure that the streets are clean and reduce traffic accidents."

What a lunatic!

Cao Ping cursed in his heart. He didn't understand what Zhang Fei was trying to do, so he asked, "By the way! What's going on outside?"

You can try it soon. 】

Zhang Fei smiled and said, "It's actually very simple. Who would dare to bet their livelihood on whether my license plate can land?"

Cao Dongdong suddenly jumped forward and said, "Daddy, I'll take a license plate for you. 5555, it represents your majesty."

Cao Ping glanced at him and said, "It cost a lot of money, didn't it?"

Cao Dongdong laughed secretly and said, "It's only one hundred strings of cash, but it's cheap. Dad, don't tell anyone, we are only getting the internal price."

The corners of Cao Ping's mouth kept twitching and he felt his whole body swelling.

Your own license plate, you still spend money?

you....

Zhang Fei saw that something was wrong and hurriedly whispered, "Deputy Commander, I took the initiative to give a license plate to the emperor. The number 0001 is the most beautiful license plate number."

Cao Ping's expression changed involuntarily, and he asked, "Does the emperor want it?"

Zhang Fei nodded and said, "Yes. But I didn't dare to ask for money."

“You’re crazy!”

Cao Ping cursed angrily, "If the government wants your license plate, it's a shame that your ancestors are still asking for money."

Cao Dongdong said, "Dad, I also ordered a license plate for my aunt. It has four nines, which means that my aunt will live a hundred years. What do you think?"

Cao Ping's eyes lit up and he said, "Don't worry about this. I'll go and deliver it."

Cao Dongdong said excitedly: "How can that be possible? This is a token of my filial piety to my aunt."

Cao Ping glared at him, "Who has the final say here?"

Cao Dongdong said aggrievedly: "Of course it's Daddy."

Cao Ping asked Zhang Fei again, "Did you give the emperor the piece?"

Zhang Fei said: "Didn't I just say it? It's already been decided."

You little brat, you're really quick at flattering people. Fortunately, they haven't sent your aunt's license yet. Cao Ping frowned and said, "Don't worry about the royal license plate. I will arrange it myself."

Cao Dongdong hung his head and said aggrievedly: "I can give this license plate to you, but you can't take the credit for this. I didn't do anything. It was all me who did it..."

Bang!

A crisp sound.

Cao Ping slapped him in the face and shook his wrist. "How dare you steal my flattery?"

Zhang Fei covered his face and sighed, Yanei, I have tried my best. This is all your own fault.
