"That's the case, for the first time, a certain person took the post of the manager of grain and grass, and he was not familiar with the place in Ezhou City, and asked Li Zun to introduce some of the situation of the grain and grass battalions of the three armies. Zhou Bo knew that Li Bin was an understanding person, so he didn't beat around the bush and asked straightforwardly.

"Alas, it's not a coincidence that Zhou Bo has been promoted to the grain and grass camp this time. In the past, there was a shortage of fat in the grain and grass camp, and to put it bluntly, everyone understood that in peacetime, military rations could be sold privately, and the money of an official in the grain and grass camp went into his pocket like running water. Now it's not good, the enemy of the Qi army is pressing, and in the drought season, grain and grass are the lifeblood of supporting the army, and the top is very tightly controlled, not to mention that you can't take out the grain and sell it privately, and it is extremely easy to be guilty of the poor management of the daily grain and grass. Li Bin said with some regret on his face.

Zhou Bo has some understanding of these, not only the Song Dynasty, but also any dynasty throughout the ages that has smuggled military rations. Military rations are cheaper than official rations on the market, and many rice merchants like to buy military rations and sell them on the market as official rations. Although it is a serious crime once the smugglers of military rations are discovered, it is generally the people above who do these things to take care of.

"I see. He nodded slowly. From Li Bin's words, he got a piece of news, that is, it is easy to make mistakes and commit crimes as an official of the grain and grass camp at present. No wonder Xu Xiangtian must let his father protect himself as this official, because it is easier to deal with himself.

"In addition to oil and water, there are more troublesome things in our grain and grass camp in Ezhou right now. Li Bin said mysteriously.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhou Bo asked further.

"Zhou Bo, you should know very well that since the defeat of the Northern Expedition last year. Ezhou City is now gathering forces from all directions. The most powerful was Li Xianggong, the Xuanfu envoy of Jingnan Road. The second is the Henan Prefecture Xuanfu envoy Zhai Xianggong. Then there were the local bureaucratic forces in Ezhou, and finally a group of officials who fled from Xiangyang Prefecture. Li Bin said eloquently.

Zhou Bo nodded, he knew this very well.

Li Bin continued: "Aside from the officials who fled in Xiangyang Mansion, these people have no real power. Li Xianggong has the army in his hands, Zhai Xianggong also has military power in his hands, and even the local bureaucrats in Ezhou have some troops such as native soldiers, archers, and village warriors. These three people all need the supply of grain and grass, and if the grain and grass battalions of the three armies are not well controlled, it will always be easy to offend one of them. Of course, if the times are bad. Maybe all three of them have been offended together. ”

"I see, it seems that this grain and grass camp is not a good errand. Zhou Bo sighed.

"Yes, Zhou Bo is afraid that it will be so difficult this time. However, the saying that hard work is always right, as long as Zhou Bo can survive this extraordinary period, the grain and grass camp is still very promising. Li Bin said with a smile.

"Then who are some of the people in charge of the grain and grass camps of the three armies in the city now?" Zhou Bo asked after thinking about it.

"The grain and grass affairs are under the supervision of the capital transportation superintendent, under the jurisdiction of five grain and grass battalions, each camp is in charge of a large capital in charge, two are in charge of civil affairs, three are in charge of the management of camp affairs, in addition, the situation of each camp is different, and a number of temporary duties will be added to assist the major capital and the big capital. Li Bin saw that Zhou Bo was transferred by the military general in charge of the army to manage the grain and grass, and he was afraid that he would not understand the situation of the grain and grass camp. So I explained it first.

Although Zhou Bo is from the 21st century, he does not know all the history of the Song Dynasty. After listening to Li Bin's introduction, I finally had a rough outline in my heart.

Li Bin continued: "Zhou Bo, your transfer is Xiying, and the capital of Xiying is Xu Wenbo, but he is the eldest son of Xu Yuanzhi and Xu Xianggong." In addition, one of the two deputy envoys in charge of Xiying was named Chen Xianzhi, and the other was Gao Xue, and they were both pulled up by Li Xianggong. ”――

When Zhou Bo heard that the majority of Xiying was Xu Yuanzhi's eldest son, he was already 100% sure that he was being calculated this time. Although I am not sure whether Xu Guanzhi himself wants to harm himself, Xu Xiangtian must have bad intentions. Maybe Xu Xiangtian's father, as an elder and self-contained identity, didn't take himself seriously, but Xu Xiangtian and his brother were born in the same generation, and they would definitely share the same hatred.

He was also a little angry with Li Hui now, Li Hui assigned himself to any grain and grass camp, why did he want to be assigned to Xiying? It wasn't because the two deputy envoys in charge of Xiying were his Li Hui's people, so he was more at ease!

Zhou Bo has already understood what he should know, and the rest of the things can only be counted step by step.

After the two of them finished drinking tea, they paid for the tea, got up and got on their horses and continued to Ezhou City. When I came to the city of Ezhou, I took out the customs documents to open the city gate. After entering the city, Zhou Bo found that today was a little different from the last time he entered the city, although it was still a time of war, but it was a little more popular in the past, the streets and alleys were often pedestrians, and many vendors and shops were reopened. It seems that the news of the last robbery victory was well publicized, which restored some confidence in the whole city.

Li Bin led Zhou Bo to the back of Xiyingmen, and then went back to the Zhizhou Mansion to resume his life. Zhou Bo turned over and dismounted in front of the gate of Xiying, and looked at the place where he would work in the future.

Although Xiying is located in the west of the city, it is not in the suburbs, and the surrounding area is still a lively place. The whole Xiying seems to have been requisitioned by a big mansion, outside the main gate is the red wall of the Zhumen, it looks quite magnificent, if it weren't for the plaque of the West Grain and Grass Camp hanging on the eaves, and the military flag on both sides of the door, I really thought that this was the mansion of a certain adult.

He was just about to lead his horse on the way, when he heard someone whispering not far behind him, and the laughter was as cheerful as a bell, as if it came from the mouth of a woman. Immediately, he turned around and looked behind him, only to see a young girl dodging at the intersection of a small alley across the street.

The girl was dressed in a simple floral shirt, and looked like she was someone's maid. When she saw Zhou Bo coming over, she hurriedly shrank into the alley, but from time to time she poked out half of her little head to look outside.

Zhou Bo thought it was very strange, how could this chick be sneaky? Although the social atmosphere in the Tang and Song dynasties was very open, and it was no problem for women to drink in a restaurant in a grand manner, it was incomprehensible that just a little maid was following a man. He led the horse in a turn. He walked straight down the alley.

The girl saw Zhou Bo coming over. Although there was some panic. But he didn't run away, but shrunk and hid at the intersection of the alley.

"Dare to ask this lady, do you know a certain family?" Zhou Bo walked up to the girl and asked. Only then did he realize that the other party was not very old, thirteen or fourteen years old, with bright teeth and ice skin, a pure and lovely appearance, big black eyes and bones, and a ghostly appearance.

The girl smiled a little shyly. said: "The slave and the maid do not know the general, but the master of the slave and the maid knows the general. ”

Zhou Bo was even more curious, and asked, "Really, dare to ask your master's name?"

The girl looked around, and after making sure that there was no one, she lowered her voice and said: "The master of the slave is the son-in-law of Qin Xianggong, the envoy of the Guanghua Army, and the general also saved the master of the slave more than ten days ago." ”

Zhou Bo came over suddenly, it turned out to be Qin Han and Qin Xiaoniang, he smiled hehe, and said, "It turned out to be Qin Xiaoniang, dare to ask Qin Xiaoniang how is it recently?"

The girl sighed. said: "Not good. ”

Zhou Bo was slightly stunned and asked, "How is it bad?"

The girl suddenly laughed ghostly again. said: "Because the master of the slave and maid is worried about you, the general, I haven't thought about tea and dinner for half a month, and I often write a word over and over again in the study, what 'the people are suffering and the people are suffering'." Three days ago, I finally found out that the general had made a meritorious service and was going to be transferred to the city to take up a post, so I specially sent slaves and maids to wait here. ”

Zhou Bo sighed secretly in his heart: I didn't expect Qin Han's chick to be really an infatuation seed, but it's a pity that her father is pedantic, if I really have anything to do with Qin Han, I'm afraid that I will have to be broken by Qin Xianggong.

He really doesn't have much heart to talk about love and love for his children now, and he doesn't think that Qin Han can help him in Ezhou City now, which can be seen from Qin Han's father's attitude towards him.

"Little lady, please tell your master that in the next husband, I am afraid that it will be difficult to climb her golden phoenix. In the next official business, I won't talk to you more about the little lady, and I will leave. Zhou Bo finished speaking without saying a word, and was about to turn around and lead the horse away.

At this time, the little girl stomped her feet in a hurry, and pouted to stop Zhou Bo: "General, you, you, you are so seedless, slaves and maids look down on you." ”

Zhou Bo laughed, turned back to the little girl and said, "You little lady is so rude, I am also a dignified eight-grade martial artist, how can you be so casual and ridiculed? Believe it or not, I beat you?"

The little girl saw that Zhou Bo was laughing, so she was not afraid at all, straightened up her immature little breasts, and said: "Hmph, the slave and maid master didn't dislike you, but you gave up on yourself, and you only bullied a woman like the slave and maid, I really don't understand how the master can take a fancy to you." ”

Zhou Bo felt that the little girl's angry appearance was very cute, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect your girl to have a very sharp mouth, dare to ask the little lady's name?"

When the girl heard Zhou Bo's words, her pretty face turned red, and she said angrily: "You, why are you like this." Are you Zhou Bo or not, what...... Why is it not as wise and martial as the master said, but like a scoundrel. ”

Zhou Bo just wanted to tease this little girl, but when he saw that the other party was really angry, he restrained himself and said, "Okay, it's Zhou Bo below, I was just joking with you before." Does the little lady have anything else to explain? If not, she will take her leave. ”

The girl still pouted and said unpleasantly: "The slave master asked the slave to tell you that the slave and the maid master will admire the moon in the Yellow Crane Tower in the west of the city in the evening after tomorrow, and I hope to have a meeting with the general at that time." After she finished speaking, she turned to leave in a huff.

"Wait!" Zhou Bo called out to the girl.

"Is there anything else going on with the general?" the girl obviously had a prejudice against Zhou Bo's previous teasing words, and there was an unhappy look on her little face.

"What's your name?" Zhou Bo asked.

"Slave twig. The girl replied sullenly.

Zhou Bo sighed and said with a serious face: "Xiaozhi, please bring a message to Qin Niangzi, you can't go to the appointment the day after tomorrow." In the lower body, he is in the military, and he naturally cannot leave the barracks at will when he has just taken office. In addition, since Qin Niangzi has already had a marriage contract with Xu Yanei, there should be rules for everyone's ladies, and she will never dare to damage Qin Niangzi's reputation. ”

When he had finished speaking, he did not hesitate any longer, turned and led the horse away.

Xiaozhi looked at Zhou Bo's back in a daze, his big eyes full of surprise. What kind of person is he? a momentary frivolous and a moment serious?

Zhou Bo is not pretending to be high, Qin Han is indeed a beautiful little beauty, if it is changed to the 21st century, it is not impossible to pursue it generously. It's just that at the moment, it seems that he has a low status, a powerful Weibo, and Qin Han and Xu Xiangtian still have a marriage contract, if he still has an ambiguous relationship with Qin Han at this time, I am afraid that Xu Xiangtian will be framed more viciously. What's more, he doesn't have a good impression of Qin Han's father, Qin Lang, this pedantic temperance makes it impossible for him to touch his nails since he looks down on himself.

Actually, he thinks that what Dong Hao said when they met for the first time was very right, as long as a man is famous, what kind of woman can't get it? Qin Lang looks down on himself, Xu Xiangtian is about to frame himself, okay, when Lao Tzu becomes famous one day, I want you to know that you are all powerful-

Zhou Bo entered the West Grain and Grass Camp, and Chen Xianzhi, the deputy envoy of the left capital, was responsible for receiving him, and went through some handover procedures. After that, Chen Xianzhi took him around the west camp and explained the layout of the camp, where there are many granaries, how many grains and grasses are in the granaries, and what kind of color these grains and grasses are. After a circle, he couldn't help but have a new understanding of marching and fighting, and it turned out that the most complicated part of the war was not strategy or formation, but the management of grain and grass.

No wonder Zhuge Liang was so famous for being a logistical man during the Three Kingdoms period!

Chen Xianzhi took Zhou Bo to the side courtyard, there are wing rooms, some are already occupied, and some are still idle. He asked Zhou Bo to choose a random room from the spare room as a place to sleep in the future.

"There is only one corridor between the front yard and here, and that is the official place, but as a young man, you naturally don't need to interfere in the clerical work, you only need to do a good job in the scheduling, inspection, loss prevention and other matters of grain and grass. Now that the war is over, the army from all walks of life in Ezhou is very frequent, so you have to be more careful. Chen Xianzhi's tone did not have any inhibition and frustration.

Zhou Bo's tone of voice towards Chen Xianzhi was very unpleasant, this guy was just one level older than him, and it was really annoying to treat himself as a junior. However, he didn't want to be guilty of the sin on the first day, so he had to nod his head again and again.

"There are still three Tishi and another young man living here in the side courtyard, you are closer on weekdays, and we must unite and coordinate to manage grain and grass in order to get things done. Chen Xianzhi said with the demeanor of an old master.

What Deputy Envoy Chen said was that it was important to get involved in grain and grass for the first time, and he would ask Deputy Envoy Chen to take care of and guide him in the future. Zhou Bo politely saluted Chen Xianzhi, and casually handed a letter of silver prepared in advance to Chen Xianzhi.

Chen Xianyi looked around as he rolled the silver into his sleeve. After taking the silver, the whole person immediately changed, and the previous attitude of preaching with a cold face was swept away, and replaced with a courteous smile.

"Haha, it's easy to say, if Brother Zhou has any difficulties in the future, even if he comes to find his brother, my brother I will never say anything if I can help. He patted Zhou Bo on the shoulder as he spoke. (To be continued.) )
