Without being summoned, Han Qian was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart, but he was more concerned about the military money and food advanced by Zuo Si this time and the ships destroyed by the Xuzhou Boat Gang to assist in guarding the Xichuan River, when he would be compensated.

There are pensions for the casualties of the generals, and there is no need for Han Qian to worry about military merits, these things of the Dragon Bird Army are mainly presided over by Shen Yang, who has always been fair, and it is impossible to lose Han Qian's side, but Zuo Si this time in addition to the advance of more than 30 million yuan in military funds, which is equivalent to the huge amount of money borrowed by the Linjiang money shop, was squandered by him.

The Xuzhou Boat Gang and the four surnamed fleets, a total of four 2,000-stone ships, 12 thousand-stone ships, and more than 40 small and medium-sized ships that annexed the Yingzhou grain transportation fleet were destroyed.

If these things were not dealt with as a priority, not only the Xuzhou Boat Gang and the four surnamed fleets were completely paralyzed, but the workshops, warehouses, and money shops all came to a standstill.

Although no one dared to come to the door to make trouble for the time being because Shen He came forward to help mediate, the amount of loans that could be collected was greatly reduced, and he could only barely maintain the payment of profits.

Once the money is unsustainable, the Linjiang money shop will suffer a heavy blow again.

Although Han Qian has always accounted for the accounts of the Zuo Division separately, and there are two secretaries around him who are responsible for this matter, Han Qian can't go directly to the Duzhi Envoy to settle the settlement by crossing the Longque Army and the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, and when he is stationed in Xichuan and Neixiang City, he can only keep an eye on Shen Yang all day long, hoping to divert more money and food from the military funds allocated to the Longque Army for emergencies.

Jingxiang was eroded, many cities urgently need to be rebuilt, at this time there are more than 180,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Dengzhou, Junzhou, Xiangzhou, Yingzhou and other places, in addition, Du Chongtao needs to build the fastest speed in Fangchengkou to connect the western foot of Tongbai Mountain and the eastern foothills of Funiu Mountain.

Even though Emperor Tianyou issued three orders and five orders, strictly prohibiting the envoys from withholding the money and food of the Dragon Bird Army, Han Qian's initial fundraising for cottage recruits was too high, and a total of more than 6,000 cottage recruits and the same number of strong people were recruited before and after this battle.

The Dragon Bird Army has made this great achievement, even if he wants to falsely report part of the military resources, Zhou Xianglong, the envoy of the Western Expedition of the Army, will definitely not run to Emperor Tianyou to complain without knowing each other, but the military resources are too tight, he has to ensure that all the generals can eat enough, not hungry, and the Dragon Bird Army can only supply according to the rations.

No matter how Shen Yang urged, except for the rations, Zhou Xianglong also did everything possible to deny the arrears and not give them to the rest of the Dragon Bird Army.

Shen Yang saw that Han Qian had just arrived in Xiangzhou City, and urged him to go to Zhou Xianglong to urge him to get money and food, which was also very annoying, so he asked him to go directly to the temporary station of the Duzhi Envoy Division, and asked him to collect debts on behalf of the Dragon Bird Army.

Han Qian is different from Shen Yang, naturally he is not qualified to go directly to Zhou Xianglong, who is respected with the Hubu Shangshu and the salt and iron transfer envoy, and guesses that the officials who accompany the envoy of the Duzhi Department this time may not treat him Han Qian as a green onion, but thinking that he has nothing else to do in Xiangzhou City, it is also good to go to the temporary station of the Duzhi Envoy Division to walk around and sort out the relationship.

On the second day of arriving in Xiangzhou City, Han Qian took Xi Ying to the temporary station of the Duzhi Envoy in Xiangzhou City early in the morning, but it took half a day and he didn't see any officials who could speak, so he could only walk out depressed with Xi Ying, who was dressed as a man and looked like a small girl.

As soon as he walked out, Han Qian saw Feng Yi and Kong Xirong happily riding horses back from the direction of Dongcheng, thinking that Feng Yi was more familiar than him in the door of the Duzhi Envoy Division, he greeted him with a smile and asked: "You two guys, you are full of spring breeze, what good things have you encountered, or have you harmed the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law of whose family?" ”

"Your Majesty has just demoted a new batch of criminal courtiers and wives and daughters to the brothel camp, we, as courtiers, of course, have to serve Your Majesty at all times, Xirong and I just went to the prostitute camp to severely punish these criminal courtiers' wives and daughters!" Feng Yi squeezed his eyebrows and said, "Don't you say it, there are really a few good looks, Xirong and I have been in line for half an hour, but it's really worth ......."

When the Liang army invaded Xiangzhou and Pingzhou, it also encountered some resistance, but in the two prefectures of Yu and Yingzhou, nine out of ten local officials chose to surrender in the face of the strong military pressure of the Liang army.

The officials of Sui and Yingzhou are mostly selected from local wealthy families, and Emperor Tianyou has never been able to find an opportunity to suppress local forces.

There were more than 200 officials with rank in the eleven counties of Sui and Yingzhou, except for those who died defending the city or fled north with the Liang army, almost 100 people and almost 1,000 Xu Shi were beheaded in the past month, and their wives and daughters, old and lustful, together with men, were relegated to hard labor camps and used as official slaves and maids; Those who are young and slightly attractive are relegated to prostitution camps for the pleasure of officers and soldiers.

Han Qian didn't care how ugly Xi Ying's face would be behind him, he wanted Feng Yi to help the Du Zhi envoy run, and said with a smile at the moment: "You two stinky boys, you are really useless, what can the prostitute camp be?" ”

"It tastes different!" Feng Yishui asked with a smile on his face, "Let's try it together another day, and you'll know." ”

"Okay, let's go together another day." Han Qian smiled quietly.

"If there is nothing else, the slave will go back first!" Xi Ying said with a cold face, and went straight back to Jinxingfang without waiting for Han Qian to agree, passing by Han Qian's side, and "unintentionally" stepped on him.

The silk shoes worn by Xi Ying seemed to be extremely light, but there was a circle of fine iron hidden on the edge of the soles of his feet, and Han Qian's toes were stepped on fiercely, and his face twitched in pain.

Han Qian wanted to drag Xi Ying back to teach him a lesson, but he was afraid that she would be even more embarrassed if she fought with herself on the street, so he could only scold angrily: "This is really against the sky, wait for me to go back and clean it up." ”

"I heard that Mrs. Xi and her mother are also official slaves, and it is inevitable that we will have a little temper when we say this," Feng Yi was very magnanimous and said with a lewd smile, "There are many pairs of mothers and daughters in the brothel camp, and all kinds of fun in it, you can't enjoy it even if you go to the Evening Red Mansion." ”

"Ahem!"

At this time, an unpleasant coughing sound came from behind them, reminding them to give way.

Han Qian turned around, but saw that it was Wang Wenqian, the secretary in charge of the Chuzhou Defense Embassy, who walked out of the temporary residence of the Duzhi Envoy, and the well-mannered white scholar beside Wang Wenqian, who was not Wang Jun?

"Han Qian has seen Lord Wang." Han Qian didn't know that Wang Wenqian was actually in Xiangzhou at this time, and thought that he should be responsible for coordinating the reinforcements and money and food requisitioned from Chuzhou.

Wang Jun's pink face was a little red, his eyes dodged, staring at the tips of his shoes, probably because he didn't expect Han Qian, Feng Yi and the others to be able to talk about such obscene words with the prince.

Wang Wenqian bowed very politely and said: "It is said that Shibei should be impressed for three days, and the great work that Lord Han has done this time is really impressive to everyone in the world!" ”

"Lord Wang is polite, Han's slight credit is just a little bit of luck, but it's not enough to worry about it." Han Qian said with a smile, Wang Wenqian is a full smiling tiger, he really doesn't dare to enjoy Wang Wenqian's politeness, and he was not summoned by His Majesty when he arrived in Xiangzhou City, I believe it is impossible for Wang Wenqian not to know.

Wang Wenqian just said a few polite words, and was about to part ways with Han Qian and them, and walked to Zuo Street with his queen Jun.

But after not taking a few steps, Wang Jun gently tugged on the placket of her father's clothes, Wang Wenqian hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped.

Han Qian looked at all this suspiciously, saw Wang Jun turn around and walked towards him, and asked politely, "I don't know what the eldest prince has to say?" ”

Hearing Han Qian bite the sound of the four words "Wang Dagongzi" very hard, Wang Jun blushed and pretended to return the salute to Han Qian: "Wang Jun has something to ask Lord Han." ”

Han Qian was slightly stunned, he couldn't think of anything that Wang Wenqian couldn't do, and he needed Wang Jun to beg him directly?

"It's easy to say, Wang Dagongzi, please say, as long as someone Han can do it, he will never give up." Han Qian snorted and said.

"Can my father and I go to your mansion as guests?" Wang Jun didn't directly ask for anything, but asked to go back to Han Qian as a guest.

Han Qian frowned slightly.

Wang Wenqian's face was also a little stiff, and finally under the gaze of his queen Jun full of pleading eyes, he relented and said to Han Qian: "Jun'er and I have been in Xiangzhou City for a few days, and these days the official business is complicated, but I don't have the opportunity to visit the son of the deceased. ”

"Lord Wang said with a smile, how could I be willing to give up a table of wine?" Han Qian said with a smile.

Wang Wenqian originally wanted to squeeze out a smiling face, but when he heard Han Qian's words clearly, he didn't laugh, he didn't laugh, and he knew that Han Qian still hated him for instigating harm at the beginning.

Of course, he wouldn't leave because of this little thing, and muttered: "If Lord Han didn't want to touch too many walls in the Duzhi Envoy Division, he probably wouldn't be stingy with a table of wine." ”

"Hearing what Lord Wang said, the little nephew remembered that there were indeed a few jars of wine in the house that he hadn't drunk." Han Qian's face changed quickly, and he immediately invited Wang Wenqian's father and daughter, Feng Yi and Kong Xirong to return to Jinxingfang with him.

Jinxingfang is just across the street from the temporary station of the Du Zhi Embassy, and it is around the corner.

Han Qian led Wang Wenqian's father and daughter, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong into his courtyard in the corner of Jinxingfang, and saw Lin Haizheng, Feng Xuan, Yang Qin and others happily talking about something, but they didn't see where Xi Ying, who was angry and threw him away.

Han Qian still wanted to enjoy a few more days of leisurely life when he arrived in Xiangzhou City, and at this time he didn't want to intrigue with a character like Wang Wenqian, so he invited everyone to sit down in the hall of the middle courtyard, and asked Wang Jun bluntly: "Feng Yi, Xirong and I are not outsiders, what does the eldest prince have to advise, can you say it now?" ”

"Suizhou Sigong joined the army Gu Cheng once served as a prison rafter in Chuzhou, and Lord Han's father may also recognize that his daughter Gu Mei and Wang Jun have known each other since childhood. Lord Gu did not serve the country, when His Majesty recovered Suizhou City, the couple committed suicide in fear of sin, leaving the orphan girl Gu Mei to be imprisoned, Wang Jun heard yesterday that Gu Mei was given to the third prince by His Majesty. Wang Jun also seemed to know that Han Qian was scheming, and he didn't play with him, and in front of his father, he also had the courage to negotiate with Han Qian directly.

Han Qian was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Wang Jun to ask him for something to get people from the third prince's side, but he looked at Wang Wenqian suspiciously, and secretly felt that Wang Wenqian and Shen Yang were quite familiar with each other, and if he really wanted to catch people, Wang Wenqian should go directly to Shen Yang.

Han Qian thought to himself that Shen Yang would definitely not make things difficult for the Wang family if he could help in this kind of matter, I don't know how they would think of asking him for him at any cost?

"Wang Jun looked for Mr. Shen Yang at noon, and Mr. Shen Yang said that he had already asked His Royal Highness to send it to Lord Han's mansion." Wang Jun Bingxue was smart and explained directly.

Han Qian was all spent at the Yamen of the Duzhi Envoy today, and he didn't know that there were another person in the courtyard, so he looked at Lin Haizheng, Yang Qin, and Feng Xuan who were guarding the courtyard suspiciously.

The ships in the hands of Yang Qin and Feng Xuan were all destroyed, and they had nothing to do all day long, so they were all temporarily doing chores by Han Qian's side.

"In the afternoon, the palace sent four girls over, saying that they were slaves and maids for adults, and they were all detained in the backyard at this time, I don't know if there is anyone named Gu Mei." Yang Qin said.

"Bring them out and let me see, I have to see the quality, so I can make a price with the prince!" Han Qian waved his sleeves and said.
