Feng Dingzhong's general's mansion was in the town, and there were two men standing guard in front of the door, and when they saw Feng Dingzhong, they held guns as a salute. This is a three-entry courtyard, the area is very large, the open space between the courtyard is not planted with flowers and plants, but paved with fine sand, placed stone drums, stone locks and other equipment, there are weapon racks under the eaves. Feng Dingzhong introduced with a smile: "The brothers are used to staying in the army, so they will practice when they have time to loosen their muscles. ”

Jiang Anyi Tuntian has two intentions, one is to solve the worry of food, and the other is to enhance the strength of Huazhou, in the future, these soldiers can turn peasants into soldiers and help defend them, seeing that Feng Dingzhong did not see the drill, he nodded in approval. There are a lot of people living in the courtyard, there are people on the sand who are competing, and the men who enjoy the cool view in the shade of the promenade see Feng Dingzhong coming in, and they all get up to salute, and it can be seen that Feng Dingzhong is very respected.

Sitting in the house, Jiang Anyi made it clear that he wanted to secretly investigate the evidence of corruption and perversion of the law in Tuntian Yamen, and punish Tuntian Ling Lin Qing. The time agreed on the official document was two days later, Jiang Anyi made up his mind to deal with Lin Qing, of course he would not come to inspect on time, and what he saw on the surface was often bright and bright.

Feng Dingzhong had heard a lot about Lin Qing's bad achievements, and he himself had been harassed when he went to the Juntun Yamen to ask for equipment, ploughing cattle and other things, and he was deducted a lot of things that should be given. However, Feng Dingzhong knew that the world was as black as a crow, and if he removed Lin Qinghui and Lin Hua, he would be corrupt, so it was better to leave acquaintances to know that he was good-tempered and easy to deal with.

Feng Dingzhong didn't say anything, Jiang Anyi knew his scruples, and he didn't persecute him, and said with a smile: "The three of us will stay with you tonight, and tomorrow we will go with you to Tuntian Yamen to deliver food." Uncle Feng, as a landlord, you can be treated to this meal. ”

The sun was setting, Jiang Anyi didn't wait for dinner, and followed Feng Dingzhong to harvest the dried wheat. Jiang Anyi dried the grain at home, and did farm work with a clear eye, Park Tianhao and Chen Ankai both had strength, and soon the three of them blended together with the tun soldiers, talking and laughing. Jiang Anyi and Feng Dingzhong agreed in advance, only saying that he was his distant nephew, and the two people who followed Jiang Anyi were Park Tianhao and Chen Ankai (Kaiva), Tian Shaoqiu intended to have a close relationship with Jiang Anyi, and let his grandson-in-law also be Jiang Anyi's personal guard, Jiang Anyi followed wherever he went. There is a certain risk in this trip, Chen Ankai's kung fu is good, so Jiang Anyi came with him.

General Feng's nephew came, the young man worked hard, everyone was very enthusiastic, pooled money to buy some chicken, duck, fish and mutton, and went to the neighboring village to buy a few jars of village brew, and in the empty field of drying wheat, ten tables of banquets were set up, and more than 100 people sat in the local area, and everyone ate and drank with laughter.

Under the deliberate guidance of Jiang Anyi, everyone talked about the bad performance of the Tuntian Yamen, Feng Dingzhong coughed again and again, but no one paid attention to it, he simply didn't bother to answer, and lowered his head and drank the stuffy wine, whether it was good or bad was determined by God.

"The surname is really not a thing, one mouth will take one percent of grain, 30,000 stone wheat, such a big mouth." Zhao Daliang was a little drunk and complained with a red face.

Jiang Anyi's heart moved, the surname Ji should refer to Ji Gangbing, the commander of the Tun army of the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate, what is the matter with taking a hundred percent of grain? Feng Dingzhong shouted with an ugly face: "Old Zhao, don't drink and be nonsense." ”

Jiang Anyi smiled and sifted another half bowl of wine for Zhao Daliang, and said with a smile: "Uncle Feng, they are all from their own family, what are you afraid of." Uncle Zhao, what's going on? Which surname counts, how to open his mouth to take away 30,000 stone wheat. ”

Feng Dingzhong sighed, but Zhao Daliang didn't notice his eyes at all, and complained to Jiang Anyi about the rules set by the commander of the Tun Army, and the income of the soldiers should be handed over to the Tuntian Office, saying that it was the cost of dealing with the Tuntian Yamen for the Tun soldiers.

Jiang Anyi's brows furrowed, he already knew the bad habits in the army, the superiors bullied the subordinates, ate empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers, Jiang Anyi personally experienced the Huangsha Pass Liao Jianhui covered up the defeat and killed the town general, when he first came to Huazhou, Zhou Zongxuan of Shihe Town killed good and risked his merits, and the state fought with Qingshan Water Village, and many dark things in the Anxi Protectorate, etc., which made him lack a good impression of the military.

The purpose of this private visit was to target Lin Qing, to purge the Tuntian Yamen, and to make trouble and harass the localities by the Tuntian soldiers, which belonged to military affairs, and Jiang Anyi had no right to interfere, and he was ready to collect the evidence of the Tuntian Yamen after rectifying the Tuntian Yamen, collect the evidence of the Tuntian Army's crimes and report it to the Imperial Court Military Department, and hand it over to the Military Department to deal with these soldiers.

On this trip, he first went to the Anbei Duhufu Tundi in Huangren County, and saw the scene of large-scale construction in Duping Village, and when he had lunch in the county seat, he heard the bad things of the soldiers disturbing the people, and now he heard that the commander of the Anxi Duhufu Tun Army, Ji Gangbing, demanded benefits, and the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and the wine bowl in his hand slammed on the table.

"Bang dang" frightened everyone, what's wrong with General Feng's nephew, such a big temper. Jiang Anyi realized his gaffe, and said with a disguised smile: "I drank too much wine, and I was a little angry after listening to Uncle Zhao's words, the grain we worked so hard to grow made people take away ten stones of wheat in one mouth, which is not a small amount, if it is a famine year, it is enough for the family to support and eat for a year." ”

"Who's to say it's not," the soldiers complained. Jiang Anyi said "there is urine", got up and walked to the stream at the edge of the village. The sound of frogs bursts, and Jiang Anyi feels more and more upset in his heart, there are too many injustices in this world, even if he is a thorn history, there is no way to sweep away the dust under his rule.

Feng Dingzhong appeared beside him, was silent for a moment and said: "My lord, I am actually very grateful to be able to have today, these all rely on the kindness of adults, as the saying goes, the moon is cloudy and sunny, why should adults blame themselves." ”

The moonlight in the sky was like water, shining on the earth and a peaceful place, falling in the stream in front of him, shining with a sparkling silver light. Stretching out his hand and stroking the invisible landscape, the sound of frogs in his ears also softened, Jiang Anyi turned his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Feng, there are some things that must be done, what I ask for is to be worthy of my heart." ”

As soon as the next day arrived, Baqing Town became lively, the neighing of horses and cows made a lot of noise, Feng Dingzhong and Jiang Anyi made an appointment yesterday to go to Tuntian Yamen together today to deliver grain. At the time of harvesting, there were officials from the Tuntian Yamen who came to count, and approved 1,500 hectares of farmland in Baqing Town, with an average yield of two stones, and handed over half of the Tuntian Yamen according to the regulations, that is, 150,000 stones, one stone of Zheng was 120 catties, and 150,000 stones were 18 million catties.

Outside the house, there was already a long convoy on the road, with horse-drawn carts and ox-carts, loaded with bags of grain. Feng Dingzhong couldn't take care of Jiang Anyi, and began to check the vehicle, and from time to time ordered the troops to tie up their belts and prepare to set off.

Jiang Anyi walked back from the front of the line, and roughly counted nearly 200 ox carts and about 70 carriages. Many of these oxen and carriages were sent by Hecheng County, and Jiang Anyi saw the officials of Hecheng County in the team, and it seemed that Senior Brother Fan was very supportive of the storage of grain, and he helped transport grain with the strength of the whole county. Behind the carriage were carts and wheelbarrows, and many sturdy soldiers stood beside the carts, biting on dry food, ready to set off.

It is estimated that this trip can transport about 6,000 stone of grain, and Baqing Town is only half an hour's journey away from the Juntun Yamen, and it can make more than four round-trips a day, and it will take six or seven days to deliver the grain. The tundi in Hecheng County is close, and it will take at least half a month for other tuntian offices, so I have to come forward this time to let the local government help transport grain, and the cantonments should also help each other.

Jiang Anyi, like Park Tianhao and Chen Ankai, wore short coats and pulled a cart with about 10 stones of grain on it, and followed the brigade to deliver grain to Tuntian Yamen. Feng Dingzhong came to persuade once, Jiang Anyi smiled and waved his hand, and asked Feng Dingzhong to get busy himself.

As soon as the sun peeked out of Dongshan, the convoy arrived at the Tuntian Yamen, where an errand led the convoy back from the left side of the yamen, and inside the high wall was the grain cellar where the grain was stored. Jiang Anyi asked Park Tianhao and Chen Ankai to look at the car, and he came to find Feng Dingzhong, he wanted to see how the Tuntian Yamen collected grain. You must know that this convoy has 6,000 stone of grain, and no matter how you weigh it or measure it with a bucket, you will not be able to measure it until tomorrow.

In front of the gate of the grain cellar, Feng Dingzhong was negotiating with a Xu official, and when Jiang Anyi arrived, he was listening to the Xu official: "General, this unpacking inspection is a rule, and there is no way to do it for the small ones." ”

"But when will you have to inspect half of the bales? Why don't we rush back and make two more trips? ”

The official blinked his eyes and said in a lengthened tone: "Aren't I also embarrassed? He spread his five fingers and shook at Feng Dingzhong.

Feng Dingzhong thought that he was asking for benefits, so he took out a paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into the hand of the official. The officer stepped back and said in a shrill voice: "General, what are you doing here, take it back." ”

Jiang An said in his heart, he didn't expect that this official of the Tuntian Yamen was an honest person, so he might as well be promoted if he had the opportunity. Feng Dingzhong took back the paper bag in a daze, and the official beckoned with a smile: "General, come with me." ”

Feng Dingzhong followed the official into the gate, and muttered for a long time before Feng Dingzhong came out with a black face, and the official smiled and beckoned someone to inspect the grain. After reading two packs at random, the official instructed the bookkeeper: "The particles are full and dry, there are few sundries, and they are counted in the cellar." ”

The convoy galloped into the grain cellar, and the grain was poured into the cellar, Jiang Anyi asked: "How much grain is in this cellar, and is the count accurate?" The official next to him glanced at Jiang Anyi and said impatiently: "One cellar is flat for five thousand stones." Jiang Anyi casually looked at the other grain cellars, they were about the same size, and it was estimated that the difference was only about ten stones, which was not a big deal. When all the grain was unloaded, someone checked the count and issued a bill of 5,700 stone to Feng Dingzhong.

Jiang Anyi was a little strange, obviously these grains exceeded 6,000 stones, how could there only be 5,700 stone bills. On the way back, Jiang Anyi asked Feng Dingzhong, and Feng Dingzhong said sullenly: "The official who watched the warehouse asked for the benefit of five hundred stones?" ”

"Why?" Jiang Anyi was strange, could it be that Feng Dingzhong was still afraid of Xiao Xu?

"Alas, there is no way, if the benefits are not given, then the boy will have to find a reason to inspect the grain packet. Even if he inspected it, he would have to find a reason to say that the grain was not dried, and there were gravel and weeds in it, so it was better to send him some benefits directly to save trouble. ”

Snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and on the way back, Jiang Anyi was depressed and didn't say a word.
