Monk Shang is back! I also talked to Liao Wu in front of the fort! also gave the little third child of the Liao Wu family a string of money!

This news blew through Huojiabao like the wind, and before it was evening, it had spread throughout the market town, and he immediately became a fresh topic of conversation among the townspeople. Everything about his past has been revealed. How depressed he was at the beginning, how he started his next family business from scratch, as well as his strength and tenacity that are difficult for ordinary people to achieve, including his broken face, have become the focus of people's conversations. This is the most remarkable character in Huojiabao in decades! Maybe it's still the most amazing person in Quanyi County! Gee! While people lamented the monk's miraculous experience, they also worried about his mother-in-law, whose whereabouts are still unknown. Alas, the world is impermanent......

Another piece of news didn't go straight away. Someone saw a carriage stop in front of the monk's new mansion, and Liu Yue'er greeted the two young women in gold and silver who got out of the carriage as if they were greeting something. Not only Shang Cheng was greeted at the door, but also Huo Seventeen and his family, and even Huo Liu, who had always had eyes on the top of his head, was among them, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and when he went up the steps, he fell on the street.

Yikes! The monk is going to ask for a daughter-in-law again?

People immediately focused their attention on the two new girls, their background, appearance, size, manners, and conversation...... All became the center of the conversation. There are already rumors that the monk's new daughter-in-law is actually Huo Liu's daughter! However, this matter was immediately proven to be unreliable, and the four mother-in-law Huo Liuyan gave birth to him were all sons, where did the daughters come from? More well-informed people jumped out and vowed to prove that the new daughter-in-law is actually the daughter of a certain official in Duanzhou Mansion, who has just turned 16 years old this year, handsome, knowledgeable, knowledgeable, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is deeply loved by her parents; Her father and mother cherished her, and they wanted to choose a good son-in-law with a great future for her, and found a young handsome man from Quanyanshan for her to choose, but this girl didn't look down on any of them, but fell in love with the Shang monk who accompanied the admiral and general out on patrol and hunting......

Ahh The mouths of those who listened were wide open. Although everyone knows that Shang Monk is also an official now, who would have thought that his official is already so big that he can go out on patrol and hunt with Yan Shanwei's admiral general; I didn't expect that this vulgar monk still had this ability, and he could actually marry the daughter of the old man's family in the upper state capital!

However, there are also shrewd people who can see that this matter is certainly not simple. Where is the reason why a new daughter-in-law runs away to her in-law's house before she gets married? There is no saying that the male family will bring in the daughter-in-law without holding a banquet or banquet. What's more, today's Shang monk is not the panicked appearance he was at the beginning, and it is not that he can't put on the pomp and circumstance of getting married, so it is even more impossible to leave a handle for others, so Xili welcomed his new daughter-in-law into the door in a daze. There's definitely something quirky about this!

But these people who see the clues are clever and hide their doubts in their hearts.

Only one night later, Huojiabao and several people in the surrounding townships began to worry about the "family affairs" of the Shang monks. In their opinion, this is an excellent opportunity to get close to Xuntian merchants, so the gift must be heavy, and it must appear that the relationship between themselves and Shangcheng is extraordinary. The gift is easy to do, and the Dongyuan Tongbao can do it no matter how expensive the gift is, but the invitation card for the family is hard to find, and the speed of the rise of the merchant is too fast, almost no one in the local area has anything to do with him before, and now it is impossible for Shang Cheng to give them a post if he wants to do a marriage. But the invitation card is a must, otherwise when the time comes, the merchant will be blasted out, do you want to have face? Although the possibility of being bombed is very small, who would dare to pack a ticket for this kind of thing?

However, a solution to the problem was quickly found. Since you can't directly ask Shang Cheng for it, let's find someone close to the merchant to find a way, isn't Miss Yue'er of the Liu family living in the merchant just borrowing it? If you want an invitation, look for her! Isn't Huo Shiqi, a celebrity in this county, close to businessmen? An invitation card will definitely not delay Mr. Huo's study and fame. Huo Lunhuo, who is working at home, seems to have a little to do with the business......

In the blink of an eye, Huo Lun's once-crowded house in the county town became lively, from morning to night, there were always relatives and friends to visit, Huo Shiqi's home in Huojiabao was also lively, and the people who had met him when the eldest girl got married found all kinds of reasons to come to the door again. Now only the "Miss Yue'er" of the Liu family is still idle, and she has not been disturbed much, and she is dedicated to helping her sixth and seventeenth aunts take care of the legendary "family affairs". Of course, this is also normal, she is a very ordinary girl from an ordinary family, even if others want to talk to her, they don't know where to get involved for a while.

The people who found the two brothers of the Huo family were soon disappointed, and it was not Shang Monk who became married one by one. However, after the disappointment, they immediately rekindled their hopes, and the one by one the daughter-in-law was a good brother whom the Shang monk had befriended in the guards. As for how good the two people are, it will be difficult to explain for a while. However, one thing is very clear, if it weren't for the sudden urgency in the military that couldn't get out, the business would have to marry for this family affair.

As a result, people secretly regret that they did not have a good time, and at the same time reestimate the weight of the gift.

…… Shang Cheng didn't know anything about what happened in Yi County. He only stayed at home for two days before returning to Mazhi with Baokan. He originally planned to wait for Sun Zhongshan's wedding date to pass before leaving, but he never thought that this marriage was different from what he expected, now Dou'er has a home in Yi County, according to customs, Sun Zhongshan has to ask Huo Liuxing Nacai for a complete set of etiquette such as Naji, and then when it comes to marriage, these etiquettes alone will be ten days smaller; After looking at the yellow calendar to select the dates, there were no good days until the middle of the lunar calendar. Where does he have so much time? There are still a lot of things waiting for him in the military village. Military affairs and government affairs are important, and he really can't delay, so he has to entrust all things to Huo Shiqi and come back first. Before leaving, he also specially apologized to Sun Zhongshan, and explained to Zhongshan that after getting married, he would accompany his mother-in-law in Yi County, so he didn't have to rush back to the military village.

When he came back, it took ten days, and he only delayed four days on the road when he went back, and he didn't stop at all when he passed through Beizheng and Mazhi Dazhai, and only stayed in Xima Zhixia Village for two hours, and then he raised his whip and went straight to Zhongzhai.

When he returned to Zhongzhai, he scolded a few subordinates on duty.

When he left, he had already explained that he wanted them to do everything possible to send food and clothing, but as soon as they met, these fools complained to him, saying that the weather was freezing and the roads were difficult, and the supplies could not be sent out at all, and they were still piled up in the warehouse. And the last time they sent something, the food stored in Shangzhai was enough for them to eat for 60 days, and now there is no need to worry about it, at least before the first month, there is no need to send supplies up.

He was so angry. He didn't expect his subordinates to not even be able to help with this little thing. He asked his subordinates what to do if the weather conditions were worse and the roads were more difficult to walk during the first month. Did it make the more than 200 soldiers in Shangzhai hungry? Do you want them to go hungry and go on patrol? If there is a bit of an accident, shouldn't they be left to fight the bandits and horse thieves empty-handed, and use their fists and teeth to deal with the big tent of Tukti?

Several officers didn't think much of his words, but they didn't dare to contradict their superiors, so they could only say over and over again that the sixty-day supply was the practice set by the imperial court for the border army, not only Ma Zhi, but also the entire Yanshan territory, and the entire Great Zhao Wanli Frontier, he just didn't sympathize with the hard work of his subordinates, and he should abide by the rules set by the imperial court.

The border army officers who talked to him about the rules of the imperial court immediately learned his "rules".

"Throw him out!"

The officer who talked about the rules was thrown out by Bao Kan with his jacket collar, and the others no longer dared to talk nonsense with their new boss, but they still carefully said their difficulties: this year's weather is abnormal, the rain and snow are abundant, but the temperature is warmer than usual, as soon as the snow passes, there will be several days of sunny days, and the red sun is roasting warmly, as if it is not a cold winter but a small spring in March, and as a result, the road from Zhongzhai to Shangzhai has all been turned over, not to mention that the pack horses carrying goods can't go, it is a person, and it is difficult to walk such a road with empty hands, Often step on it, the mud does not reach above the ankle, and the leather boots will fall off the bottom after a few steps, not to mention that the packers are wearing hemp shoes and cloth shoes, which are soaked and then soaked in the cold of the night, and it is a big problem if you are not careful......

Shang Cheng told them categorically: "If the pack horse can't work, send people, if the pack man can't work, send troops, no matter what, the food supply must be sent!" ”

Several officers were horrified by his words. Immediately after awakening, they unanimously objected to it. It doesn't make sense! Even if you don't have to pack horses, you can't send soldiers to do such drudgery, because the duty of the border army is to guard the frontier, and they are not sent to carry grain and grass; What's more, this kind of errand has always been the business of the border households. In the winter, relying on people to carry supplies on their shoulders is not a critical moment of war, this is something that even the border households dare to push, how can the captain dare to say that let the soldiers do it? And this matter is still very troublesome, if something goes wrong on the road, who will be responsible? If a soldier is sick for a little wound for this or that, who should he turn to? It's just that there was no accident on the road, how do you say that you can track it down? This is the sin of "blindly commanding and wasting troops in vain"!

Some people even think bigger. If you did it this year, will you do the same next year? If Xima is handled like this, should other border army stockades do the same? Since the border army can be responsible for the supply and transportation itself, what else do the border households do? What about the precedents of the imperial court? The border village cannot hoard grain for more than 60 days, is this rule also to be changed?

But Shang Cheng ignored these nonsense words. The old practice of the imperial court is something that the imperial court considers, and he can't think about what the border households should do for the time being, whether the other border troops carry their own food or find someone to carry the food, that is someone else's business, as for next year, it will not be like this...... This year's winter grain stored in Shangzhai is not enough, who the fuck will fuck next year's heart?
