At three o'clock in the afternoon, the south gate of Xuanfu Town was opened, and 8,000 cavalry infantry slowly left the city, followed by nearly 100 trucks of grain and grass.

Chang Yu's plausion team has also been assembled, waiting at the city gate to wait for departure. Wang Chengyin and a group of military and political bigwigs in the city came to see them off, including Governor Zhu Zhifeng, who did not speak to Chang Yu anymore, and knew each other's intentions with only eye contact.

"Mr. Wang, there will be a period later" Chang Yu didn't like to talk much with this person, and he was not good at dealing with these people in the officialdom, so he just turned around with a fist and got into the car, unlike Wu Mengming, the old fritter, who was still pulling with everyone.

Since Wang Chengyin heard that Chang Yu was from Dongchang, his attitude was much more cautious and respectful than before, and he also wanted to send him away like a plague god.

As for the remaining sixty or seventy thousand salaries, Chang Yu has already paid, although he knows that there is not much left of this salary after being stripped into the hands of the soldiers, but at this moment, he has no better way, he has no choice but to do it, he can't really wait for those subordinate soldiers to be transferred back to Xuanfu to pay their salaries in person.

And he also knew that the reason why Wang Chengyin always pushed back was also deliberately suspected, so he didn't want him to give his salary in person, as for the words that made him wait for tomorrow, the local soldiers couldn't move, but he knew that he was in a hurry to set off and couldn't wait, so he did it deliberately, to put it simply, it was all a fucking routine, but the angry thing is that you obviously saw through it, and you had to be tricked by him.

Therefore, Chang Yu didn't bother to take care of him.

Half an hour later, the team had all left the city, and the leading general was a general named He Chengxin, about thirty, of medium stature, with a cold face and no words to speak, but he was quite respectful to Chang Yu.

"This place is more than 400 miles away from Datong, the fastest can be reached in a day and a half, if you lead the troops to arrive at our house within two days, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and each soldier will be rewarded with 2 taels of silver, from Datong to Taiyuan more than 600 miles, if you reach within three days, you will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver, and the soldiers will be 5 taels each" Chang Yu said to He Chengxin at the moment of departure.

He Chengxin didn't say a word, and immediately sent the order: "Rapid march" As for whether the grain and grass are dragged or not, he doesn't care anymore.

From Xuanfu to Datong, you must first go west through Zhangjiakou, and then turn southwest to Huai'an, Yanghefu (now Yanggao County) to Datong, almost all of them are mountain roads, and the whole passes through the Taihang Mountains, which also worries Chang Yu.

No matter how fast the army was, it couldn't be faster than Chang Yu's cavalry convoy, and when they arrived in Zhangjiakou, they couldn't see He Chengxin's taillights from a distance of several miles from the suffix, and the sky was already dark at this time.

Zhangjiakou, a prefecture-level city in Hebei in later generations, belongs to the rule of Shuntianfu at this time, its geographical location is very special, simply put, it is the country of this era, because it is connected with the Mongolian Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is also a big trade city, of course, it is also an important pass, the so-called west exit refers to Zhangjiakou.

Chang Yu's team paused in the southwest direction of Zhangjiakou to rest, the family made a fire to cook, and the soldiers rested to feed the horses, in fact, from Xuanhua to Zhangjiakou nearly eighty miles away, this breath has been very fast, maybe because a lot of silver has been unloaded, maybe the road is relatively flat, and this speed is always the fastest section after starting from the capital.

Looking at the dark Zhangjiakou from afar, Chang Yu leaned on the carriage and tore a piece of flesh hard, and suddenly said to Wu Mengming beside him: "Lord Wu, have you heard of Fan Yongdou and his people?" ”

Wu Mengming squinted his eyes and pondered for a while, as if he had heard of it, but he couldn't think of it for a while, and looked at Zhangjiakou City with Chang Yu's eyes as he spoke, and instantly realized: "What Chang Gonggong said is the Zhangjiakou rich man Fan Yongdou who 'Jia Yu Border City, with faith and righteousness'!" ”

Chang Yu sneered and looked into the distance: "He is not only a rich man in Zhangjiakou, but also the richest man in Shanxi."

Seeing Chang Yu's cold eyes, Wu Mengming was a little puzzled: "Father-in-law Chang knows this person very well?" ”

Of course, I understand, the head of the eight imperial merchants who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, how could Chang Yu not know that these traitorous profiteers smuggled all kinds of contraband for the Manchu Qing Dynasty and spying on intelligence, it can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty settled in the Central Plains, and these profiteers made great contributions.

Fan Yongdou, Fan Yongdou, Wang Dengku, Jin Liangyu, Wang Dayu, Liang Guest, Tian Shenglan, Zhai Tang, Huang Yunfa, these eight were later personally received by Emperor Shunzhi and named the imperial merchant at this time in Zhangjiakou, but most of the people in the world know his rich businessman, and few know his identity as a collaborator and smuggler.

Then again, at this time, there were too many merchants smuggling with the enemy, and these eight were just big and became representatives, and at that time, it was only these merchants who smuggled and sold military products to Manmeng, and it was not strange that the border guards smuggled and sold military products to Manmeng, or that sentence, Daming was rotten to the root at this time.

If you ask Fan Yongdou how rich he is, he is worth tens of millions! At this time, during the Kangqian period of the Qing Dynasty, the eight Jin merchants in Shanxi, Qiao, Chang, Cao, Hou, Qu, Kang, Kong, at this time, in addition to the Kang family's family background and he was on par (the Fan family was also one of the eight Jin merchants in Shanxi in the Qing Dynasty), the Qu family was only a well-off family, and the rest of the people had not yet made a fortune or even been born, such as the most famous Qiao family compound Qiao Guifa, the ancestor of the Qiao family, was not even a tadpole at this time, because he made his fortune from a single man who asked for food in the Qianlong period

"Our family only knows that he is very rich, and we really want to get some money from him," Chang Yu replied to Wu Mengming with a slight smile.

As expected, the eyes of this thing immediately lit up: "Is there a way for Grandpa Chang to get money from the Fan family?" ”

"Yes, but the time has not yet come" Chang Yu replied with a smile, making Wu Mengming, a greedy man, a little anxious: "What way?" Ahem, ahem, Grandpa Chang, I mean, ahem, ahem! ”

"Don't worry, Lord Wu, how can our family not bring you for such a good thing as making money, there is a good saying, everyone earns money, let's join forces to get more money" said and sighed slightly: "It's just that the time hasn't come yet."

"So, when is the right time?" As soon as he heard Chang Yu say that he would take him to make money together, Wu Mengming rubbed his hands excitedly.

If the thief army really broke Taiyuan, after Datong, the time has come, at that time, Lao Tzu is going to copy the Fan family, Chang Yu secretly swore in his heart, of course, this can not be said to Wu Mengming, just patted him lightly on the shoulder: "You will know when you arrive in Taiyuan!" ”

Ah, Wu Mengming was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't we go back to Datong after the charge?" Why do you want to go to Taiyuan? ”

Chang Yu smiled: "Our family has a secret body, we have to go to Taiyuan for a walk, Lord Wu is willing to accompany our family for a walk!" ”

Well, Wu Mengming is a little entangled, the thief army is in Pingyang Mansion at this time, and the imperial court will send troops to Taiyuan, which means that Taiyuan will soon have a military disaster, which is a dangerous place.

"As the old saying goes, starve to death the faint-hearted and support the bold, Lord Wu, you ......" Chang Yugang wanted to provoke him.

Unexpectedly, Wu Mengming immediately interrupted him: "How dare you disobey the invitation of Father-in-law Chang, and the sword mountain and the sea of fire will also accompany you, but you have to say hello when you go back to the emperor!" ”

M's! Chang Yu secretly scolded in his heart, he was obviously a greedy ghost, and he didn't say how righteous he was, but his face was grateful: "Lord Wu, I Chang Yu has received this feeling, and our family knows how to speak on the emperor's side."

Hehe, Wu Mengming smiled, and then asked in a low voice: "Father-in-law Chang, is there a head in Taiyuan?" ”

"Immeasurable"

Wu Mengming was dumbfounded.
