Back then, the Cao family begged everywhere to replenish the winter clothes in the army.

As a result.

The money was there, but it was not used in the army, it was spent in the palace.

A broken stone was to be transported to the garden of the palace, and it cost hundreds of thousands of yuan, and no one shouted that it was expensive, but it was just to add a set of cotton clothes to the forbidden army, but it was begging people everywhere for approval and couldn't get the money.

Why did Cao Youxuan change to civilian work, because he hoped that he could have a little power in his hands.

At the very least, don't let the soldiers freeze on the battlefield and can't even hold their weapons.

Han Yanxuan said again: "Lao Cao should know that his Nanda camp used to be okay, but now, how many formations can he block the Beida camp?" How did the change in the Beida Battalion come about, how much of the military resources of the Beida Battalion were given by the Ministry of War, and how much of the armament was built by the Ministry of Industry? The people in the court can't see this, but who is Lao Cao? ”

Cao Youxuan stretched out his hand and shook Han Yanxuan's arm, he never expected that it was not his subordinates and his friends who knew him best, but this former enemy who had scolded him for many years. The old thief Han above the court.

Let's talk about Han Jiang.

Han Jiang knew that he had been waiting for a long time, and he was curious to know what was being talked about in that room.

It's your own business.

But it's tragic, I can't be the master at all.

This made Han Jiang a little restless.

At this time, a guest came to the door.

Xu Jie.

Han Jiang almost forgot about Xu Jie, after this guy borrowed his own money, he didn't show up for several days.

Xu Jie is here again this time.

Han Jiang ordered to watch the tea in the flower hall.

Xu Jie arrived, and also brought a gift, a box of pastries.

"Brother Jiang'er, I haven't seen my demeanor for a few days."

Han Jiang smiled: "I thought it was a few autumns that I hadn't seen each other, and it would take long enough for there to change." ”

Xu Jie sat down with a smile: "Can you borrow some more money?" ”

"Of course, you carry it as usual."

Han Jiang's reaction made Xu Jie very uncomfortable, not because of Han Jiang's casual attitude, but because he came with a mission. He hopes to enter Han Jiang's circle, which is a real circle.

He knew two people.

One is called Shen Yuran, and the other is Cui Yiye.

These two people are still on the periphery of Han Jiang's circle, and they may not know as much as they do.

His uncle is a person who knows the affairs of Taizhou, and he used to worship under Han Yanxuan, but he knows only a limited number of things, and he vaguely feels that the Han family has something big that ordinary people dare not think about, but because he knows too little, he can't guess it.

However, it can be said that more than seventy percent of the ships coming and going from Taizhou Wharf are the ships of the Han family and the Qian family.

There are a lot of goods, but you don't know what they are. The only thing I know is that the Han family will seal a bag of silver from their uncle every month, and they will add another bag of gold every half a year.

Xu Jie stood up, thought about it and sat down again.

Han Jiang picked up the tea bowl at this time, took a sip and said slowly: "Xu Jie, do you know how powerful I am in Lin'an City?" ”

Han Jiang suddenly said what this meant, and Xu Jie didn't have an answer after thinking hard.

Han Jiang continued: "The Wu family has a deep way in the green forest The three sects and nine streams of Lin'an City Han Jiang moved his fingers, and they knew where to run. The business of money was destroyed by me, because they blocked the business of the trenches, but so many people, they also have a way to live, and I can give them. ”

Xu Jie understood.

Xu Jie could only smile awkwardly but politely.

Han Jiang also smiled: "Those who open casinos in private, who can open them without my nod." There are casinos in the entire Lin'an City that are not under my control, which is also quite interestingꓹ How much money did you loseꓹ Whether it is a real loss or a fake loss, I don't need to say it clearly. Who did you meet, I don't know. ”

In fact, Han Jiang didn't know who Xu Jie saw in the private room of the underground casino.

Because the person sent to inquire about Xu Jie's news received instructions that he must not be alarmed.

Xu Jie's tone changed: "Can you give me a chance?" ”

"I can't." Han Jiang replied very bluntly, but gave an explanation: "I don't believe you ꓹ In other words, ꓹ I can't trust anyone, unless this person has great value and use value, but I can't believe it." Trust is built bit by bitꓹ Not a few words, let alone a set of friendships, think about the friends at the wine table, a few are real friends. ”

Xu Jie thought for a while: "My uncle is a transfer envoy on Huainan West Road. ”

Of course, Han Jiang knows about this relationship.

Huainan West Road is the second echelon in the strategy, because Huainan West Road is not importantꓹ The only thing that Han Jiang cares about is only one Shuzhou.

There is another reason for this.

The military on Huainan West Road is different, they have nothing to do with the anti-gold system back then, they are not reformed people, and they are not old military families like the Cao family.

According to the Great Song Dynasty, after Lin'an was the capital, there were three royals.

In the words of Han Jiang before the crossing, it was the Southern Song Dynasty against the three major theaters of the Jin State. The first place is Huainan West Road, also called Huaizuo Yu. Then there was the Jinghu Palace, that is, the defense area centered on Xiangyang, and finally the Shu Palace, the Xingzhou Army defense area of the Wu family.

These three palaces, Jinghu because of the Yangtze River, Han River and other natural hazards, easy to defend. Because the Jin State on the Xingzhou side is a remote area, although there is a war, the scale is not very large.

Huainan West Road is different, and the Huaihe River area north of the Yangtze River is the most tragic here.

In that year, Liu Guangshi's Li Qiong, that is, the real ancestor of Zhen'an Hou, defected with 40,000 soldiers and horses, and coerced more than 100,000 people, and the court was shocked.

The consequences of the Huaixi mutiny were terrible, not only losing important northern defense fortresses, but also emptying the entire Huaixi army.

The Jin army went south, Yu Yunwen was ordered to be in danger, and the famous quarrying battle was fought in Huaixi.

After that, the imperial court could not trust anyone to rule Huainan West Road.

The Huainan West Road was composed of the forbidden army, and a large number of displaced people and prisoners were deployed into the army. The most important task of the civilian officials stationed after that was to keep an eye on the military attachés, and the military attaches were divided into several factions, initially restraining each other, and then negotiating peace with the Jin State, and these military attaches continued to fight.

The civil and official battles, military attache battles, and civil and military battles within Huainan West Road are more complicated than the battles above the court.

Moreover, in order to prevent anyone from rebelling on Huainan West Road.

People from the former Yue family's military system don't need it, people from Han Shizhong's system don't use it, and people from old film generals like the Cao family don't need it.

It is true that Xu Jie's third uncle is the transfer of Huainan West Road, but his power on Huainan West Road is limited, and the power he can control is less than 5%.

Han Jiang and Han Jiang's staff group were unwilling to reach out to Huainan West Road too early.

Only Shuzhou, because it is an important iron production town, the rest that Liu Guo cares about is not Shuzhou, but blacksmiths, tens of thousands of blacksmiths and apprentices.

At this time, Han Jiang rejected Xu Jie, and Xu Jie must have been disappointed in his heart.

Xu Jie knew very well in his heart that it was not the Han family's to agree so happily.

In officialdom and in court, the first word to learn is: no.

It is difficult for people who will not refuse to survive in officialdom.
