In the next period of time, Jiang Anyi entered a busy stage, first of all, the handover with Yang Xiangliang. This handover can not be compared with Fuluo County and Yan Kaichen, Yang Xiangliang pointed to a pile of account books and said unabashedly, the money has been used, the things have been rewarded, the warehouse is empty, only 20,000 stone of grain is left in the Fuyang warehouse, and 10,000 stone will be taken away when the army is pulled. What Jiang Anyi could say, he had to admit it.

The second is to leave 10,000 officers and soldiers to stabilize the situation and clean up the remnants of the bandits, Yang Huaiwu left Mei Hongmin's department, and Zhou Zongxuan is among them. Zhou Zongxuan's matter was finally covered up with negligence, and he was heavily punished with forty military sticks, and was demoted from the captain of Zhenwu to the captain of the cloud cavalry.

Hearing that he was left in Huazhou, Zhou Zongxuan was terrified, he offended the Huazhou assassin in Shihe Town, and there was a way to deal with himself in other people's acres and thirds of land. Zhou Zongxuan exhausted his private pockets, borrowed some silver from his colleagues, and scraped together 2,000 taels of silver to give to the young marshal Yang Huaiwu, and was finally assigned to Yang Huaiwu's department and returned to the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate.

Before Yang Xiangliang left, Jiang Anyi had a secret conversation with him, the content of the conversation was unknown to outsiders, and Yang Huaiwu inquired about his father and was reprimanded. Xin Fei and Qin Ziyan interrogated the Yuantian Sect over there, but there was progress, Jiang Anyong passed the word for his sister-in-law, and he was busy during this time, so Jiang Anyi took care of himself.

Sending Yang Dadu Governor away, Jiang Anyi breathed a sigh of relief, with this Dadu Governor here, he really felt that there was a big stone on his body, and he couldn't move. Jiang Thorn Shi ascended to the throne, and the officials of Huazhou Mansion came to pay respects. According to the official system of Da Zheng, Xiazhou set up a person in the history of assassination (under the four genuine products), and Jiang Anyi was temporarily responsible for the history of assassination under the five products; Don't drive Zhang Wenjin (from the fifth grade), he is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a yellow face and three ink beards, a medium stature, and he salutes Jiang Anyi without being salty or light; Sima Hua Siyuan (from the sixth grade), less than forty, burly, neat and neat, like a martial artist.

The other people who joined the army, Zuoshi, the warden, and the Cangdu were all petty officials of the eighth or ninth grade, and the power of the assassin was very great, and he had the right to directly appoint and dismiss these petty officials. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the new assassin was appointed, and these petty officials were inevitably apprehensive in their hearts, for fear that Shangguan would exempt them from their errands.

Assassin Shi Zhangqing Banggi, assess officials, announce morality, pacify Qi people, persuade farmers to teach mulberry, and admonish the five religions. After the chaos, the town was quiet, not to mention that Jiang Anyi was not familiar with the situation in Huazhou, so of course he would not command indiscriminately, and ordered everyone to perform their duties.

The Son of Heaven has decreed that Huazhou will be exempted from taxes this year, and he will take this opportunity to recall the fleeing refugees; Check the inventory and see what Governor Yang left in addition to the 10,000 stone of grain; The trade route was resumed as soon as possible, and the people of Tian Wei were anxiously waiting for the arrival of the caravan that Jiang Anyi had mentioned.

After Jiang Anyi greeted the strong general Mei Hongmin, Jiang Anyong took the stone and lived in the military camp in the south of the city. Jiang Anyi promised to choose 300 personal soldiers to let him be the captain of the personal soldiers, Jiang Anyong was enthusiastic to personally select, and the stone and Jiang Anyong fell in love, and it was boring to stay in the mansion, so they also went to the barracks together. Stationed in Huazhou, Mei Hongmin knew that he was abandoned by the marshal, and the Zhu family whip couldn't help him.

Thousands of threads are piled together, Jiang Anyi can't take care of his younger brother, and he doesn't have the heart to miss Xinfei. The warehouse is empty, only half of the 10,000 stone grain is edible, the rest is rotten and useless, and the bandits are rampant in the four realms, disturbing the township, and the whole Huazhou is described in one word: chaos.

Zhang Beijia complained of illness and hid next to watch the jokes, his mind Jiang Anyi knew that it was nothing more than himself blocking his way, which shattered the little hope that he had originally been promoted to the assassin history. Hua Sima is a bold man, was originally the town general of Cumulus Pass, retired from the army due to injury, and became a soldier in Huazhou at the age of eighteen, and had a deep relationship with this land, so he chose to be Sima of Huazhou to protect the land and protect the people. During this time, Hua Sima ran around to quell the bandits everywhere.

According to the law of Da Zheng, the state capital has 3,000 troops, and it is a bit difficult for Hua Sima to pacify the bandits in the 52 counties in Huazhou with 3,000 men and horses. For the sake of domestic tranquility and the early return of refugees, Jiang Anyi had to come to the military camp in the south of the city to visit Mei Hongmin. As an assassin, unless it is wartime, he has no right to command the officers and soldiers who defend the town, which is to prevent local officials from rebelling.

"Lord Jiang, it is our duty to suppress bandits and calm the people, and we are willing to send troops." Mei Hongmin was happy and agreed.

Before the smile on Jiang Anyi's face fully bloomed, Mei Hongmin said again: "Governor Yang gave half a year's military salary before leaving, which is the cost of guarding the town on weekdays. Lord Jiang, the war requires money, the soldiers are subsidized according to 50 wen a day per person, 2,000 people need 100 taels of silver a day, grain, grass, cattle and sheep and other things are counted separately, and the battle must be rewarded, the death must be compensated, and the equipment must be repaired, all of which require silver, as long as the adults can get the silver, Ben will immediately lead the troops to the battle. Otherwise, the adults would not let General Ben raise his own salary. ”

Jiang Anyi's head is as big as a fight, the Son of Heaven has just emptied the treasury to reward the soldiers of Huazhou, and then he wants to take money to quell the bandits, don't even think about it, and there is no money, it seems that he has to find a way. Jiang Anyi is not short of money, the key is that he can't use his own money to pay for the military, in that case, what awaits him is to cut off his head.

"Master Jiang, Brother Ling and Ling Disciple are good, they are practicing at the moment, do you want to go and have a look." Mei Hongmin said, it can be seen that Jiang Anyong and the stone are very fond of Mei Hongmin. An iron-blooded man in the army, people with real skills love to welcome, Jiang Anyong once stayed in the Anyang Palace, he has outstanding archery skills, and he has to be trained by his brother, and his skills are also good, and he is a high apprentice of the stone master, so naturally he will not lose Jiang Anyi's face.

Jiang Anyi shook his head and said, "It's good that General Mei likes them, and this official should go back and find a way to raise money." ”

Listlessly returned to the mansion, and saw a few people standing in front of the mansion from a distance, the most conspicuous was a fat man, who was making trouble with the officials guarding the door, Guo Huaili came. Five or six feet away, I heard Guo Fatzi say: "...... When you Lord Jiang saw me, you had to call Brother Sheng, but you didn't let me enter the yamen to wait for him......"

"Brother, you're here." Jiang Anyi gave Guo Fatzi a lot of face, jumped off the horse when he was far away, and ran forward happily. Guo Huaili puffed his stomach proudly and said to the officer: "What's the matter, is my old Guo a big talker?" ”

The officer's face turned a little pale, and he explained in a low voice: "This master, it's not that you won't let you in, our state is not at peace during this time, and I am also thinking about the safety of Lord Shi." ”

Guo Huaili arrived with 500 jars and 20 catties of wine, 10 carts of silk, 10 carts of porcelain, and 10 carts of messy items, accompanied by several family members, and three partners who were ready to open a store in Huazhou Huiye Mansion. Huang Dongquan's spread of branches in Fuluo County stimulated the Yu family and the Guo family, and this time it was Yu Qingshan, the third elder of the Yu family.

When Jiang Anyi was studying in Yufu, he had a little holiday with the Yu brothers, and with Jiang Anyi's high school champion, this little holiday has already been revealed. Yu Qingshan finally won the show in the first two years, and this time his father Yu Zhiren sent him to Jiang Anyi to find him an errand in Huazhou, and he became an official and took a shortcut.

The arrival of Guo Huaili and others is like charcoal in the snow, which is righteous to Jiang Anyi and also to Gutaige. Professional things are handed over to professional people to do, and Jiang Anyi introduced Gu Taige to Guo Huaili. After learning that Tian Wei had a lot of money, Guo Huaili happily negotiated with Gu Taige. Although Gu Taige is smart, he is a few streets behind Guo Fatzi in business, and he is anxious to do this business, so he will inevitably be knocked heavily by Guo Fatzi.

10,000 catties of wine, 10 taels of silver per catty, 100,000 taels of silver, silk and porcelain and other things were eaten by Gu Taige, and a total of 200,000 taels of silver were used. Gu Taige carried gold on his body, the best pure gold, Da Zheng one tael of gold can be exchanged for twenty taels of silver, two thousand taels of gold is forty thousand taels of silver, and some jade jewelry is folded into sixty thousand taels, Guo Fatzi couldn't close his mouth for a few days. For Gu Taige, this deal is extremely cost-effective, Tian Wei is in urgent need of supplies in the country, and these things can at least triple when they reach the country, not to mention what his father and the ministers think of him.

The remaining 100,000 taels of Gu Taige decided to hire the Guo family's caravan to send it directly to Tian Wei Kingdom, and pay it off after arriving in Tian Wei Kingdom. Guo Fatzi knew that this was a good opportunity, if he could open up the trade route with the Western Regions, then the Guo family would have to run to the famous wealthy merchants of Dazheng. After negotiating the delivery of 20,000 taels, Guo Fatzi decided to take some risks and personally go to Tian Weiguo.

Guo Huaili has an obsession with doing business, Jiang Anyi didn't listen to him no matter how much he persuaded him, and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, you are getting bigger and bigger now, and my brother and I have been left far behind by you." Although my brother has no interest, but if I don't seize such a good opportunity in front of me, my father has to scold me to death, I must go to Tian Weiguo this time, gamble, and lie down and count the silver after success. ”

Jiang Anyi had no choice but to let Guo Fatzi recruit some high-rollers as bodyguards, and to save Xinfei's face, he stuffed four dragon guard masters into the caravan to protect Guo Huaili. Qin Ziyan was very happy, it was a credit for Long Wei to be able to find out the news of Tian Weiguo, and this matter was a win-win situation.

Huazhou and the Western Regions have three checkpoints to communicate, Cumulus Pass, Zhenshan Pass and Jingmen Pass, the Western Regions coalition army attacked from three sides, the three checkpoints were lost, Yang Xiangliang recovered the lost territory, rebuilt the three passes, Anxi Protectorate set up three thousand guards in each checkpoint, and now the three checkpoints are in the closed reconstruction, the trade route is not passable.

Although the checkpoint is in Huazhou, it is under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Protectorate, and Jiang Anyi has no right to intervene in the affairs of the checkpoint. However, before the return of Governor Yang, Jiang Anyi mentioned the matter of the checkpoint trade route in a secret conversation with him. During the prosperous period of commerce and trade in Huazhou, there were more than 100 carriages and horses entering and leaving the country every day, and the annual customs clearance of the three checkpoints was about one million taels of silver at the three checkpoints, and Jiang Anyi promised to give 500,000 taels of silver to the Anxi Protectorate every year, and another 100,000 taels of silver at each checkpoint, and the right to collect taxes at the checkpoints would be in the hands of the Huazhou Government for three years.

Jiang Anyi took out 800,000 taels at once, which was really unexpected by Yang Xiangliang. The border is hard work, the risk is great, and there is no benefit, who wants to guard at the checkpoint. The oil and water at the checkpoint are at the merchants who come and go, and each car or camel is taxed ten taels, and for the merchants who travel to and from the Great Zheng and the Western Regions, more than 100 taels of silver is nothing at all. Take Guo Fatzi's caravan as an example, the tax on fifty cars is only five hundred taels, and the value of the goods is 200,000 taels, which can really be regarded as a drop in the bucket.

One hundred thousand taels of silver seems to be a lot, but in fact, it is only ten taels distributed to the soldiers. The Anxi Protectorate is located in Bingzhou, and the military salary given by the court is only barely enough to support, as the protector of the capital, it is difficult to convince the public by coercion and military orders alone, the key is two points, officials and money. There is no slow promotion in the army without a big war, and the main thing is to rely on money, as the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, which is the truth.

The four major capitals of Dazheng have their own ways to make money, and the bulk of the Anxi capital is the customs duties at the border. ()
