Da Bo Xiaoyi followed up and took a look, and hurriedly shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, Brother Zhao, it's not my brother, I won't give you this face, this batch of pig iron is going to be transported to the imperial treasury, there are only more than 10,000 catties in total, as soon as you open your mouth, you have to take away 2,000 catties, the gap is too big, how do you let my brother explain to the treasury?" ”

In the Sui and Tang dynasties and subsequent dynasties, there was a special yamen under the military department in charge of the manufacture and storage of ordnance, but in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties before the Sui and Tang dynasties, the manufacture and storage of ordnance was generally in charge of the treasury department managed by Shang Shulang Cao, a subordinate of Shang Shuling, and the head of the treasury was called the treasury department Shangshu.

Zhao Junsheng sneered: "What about you deceiving a three-year-old child?" Will the treasury stuff be stored with you? Okay, I don't care who this batch of pig iron is, I only need 2,000 catties! Come on, move it for me! ”

The soldiers got the order and immediately came forward to carry it, two people carried a piece, and it didn't take a moment to carry away more than a dozen baskets, Dabo Xiaoyi couldn't help but stomp his feet: "Okay!" Today, I Da Bo Xiaoyi can be seen clearly, you are a master who has plucked the feathers of a goose, more ruthless than my Da Bo Xiaoyi, I am convinced! ”

Although only two thousand catties of pig iron were moved, Zhao Junsheng was already satisfied, with this batch of pig iron, those blacksmiths in his camp could go all out to build Mo knives, a Mo knife weighed fifteen catties, and there were some iron filings in the process of building, and at least one hundred and thirty rods could be made, which was enough for the time being.

Da Bo Xiaoyi led Zhao Junsheng to the five boxes, pointed to them and said, "Carry these boxes away, this is the salary of your heavy soldiers in Huaishuo Town for the first three months!" ”

Zhao Junsheng opened them one by one and looked at them, and knew how many there were with a sweep of his eyes, and hugged his fists at Dabo Xiaoyi: "Little brother is welcome!" Come on, move out! ”

The military salaries contained in these five wooden boxes were not gold or copper plates, but cloth, and the Northern Dynasty court in this period did not give money to officials, but grain or cloth.

The Chinese army of the Northern Wei Dynasty was recruited from various tribes, the vast majority of them were Xianbei people, and they had to do it, the imperial court only took care of food and military supplies, and they wanted to obtain money and rewards all by capturing and rewarding, that is to say, only after winning the battle could they have money, livestock and land and pastures; If you lose, it's all about it! This kind of incentive mechanism is not ruthless, and it is to force those Xianbei soldiers to fight with the enemy.

The town army is also recruited from various tribes, a few are Xianbei people, most of them are other barbarians, basically they have a share of the fields, pastures and cattle and sheep of the soldiers, it is their obligation to join the army, they have no military salary, the court only cares about food and military distribution, want to get income, want to fight and capture the opportunity is very few, after all, it is only the town army, no order can not take the initiative to attack, if you want to get money, you can farm and do business around the town of the army, the court does not prohibit it.

The baggage soldiers are different, the baggage soldiers are almost all Han people, the Han people only have the obligation to pay taxes, there is no obligation to join the army, the imperial court wants to recruit Han people to the Chinese army, the town army to transport grain and grass materials to them have to pay military salaries, but the Northern Wei court does not mint coins, with grain and cloth as military salaries.

The grain is too heavy to carry, the cloth is very light, easy to carry, and the baggage soldiers can use the cloth as currency to buy goods.

Da Bo Xiaoyi asked: "Brother Zhao, there is nothing else, everything that should be moved has been moved, and everything that shouldn't be moved has been moved!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded and smiled: "Okay, you can issue an official document for the allocation of grain and grass materials!" ”

The two came to the next class room, and Dabo Xiaoyi sat cross-legged on a desk and began to write.

Zhao Junsheng walked over and raised his hand holding the pen and smiled, "Brother Dabo, don't write down those batch of repeating crossbows, crossbow arrows, and pig iron, right?" You know! ”

Dabo Xiaoyi blinked his eyes and smiled: "Understood, understood!" ”

"Don't be busy!" Zhao Junsheng raised his hand again.

What's going on? Dabo Xiaoyi was very puzzled.

"Change the three-month allocation to two months! If you want to change to a month's amount, you can do that! ”

Da Bo Xiaoyi almost vomited blood, gritted his teeth and gave Zhao Junsheng a thumbs up: "Brother, you are shameless enough!" I thought I was already shameless with Dabo Xiaoyi, but I didn't expect you to be more shameless than me! It is okay to change it to two months, but it must not be changed to one month, I don't have enough time to fill it up in the two-month shortfall, this is not just a change of two words can be done, once something happens, we have to die together! ”

"Hahaha, Brother Dabo is a friend enough, I admire you!" Zhao Junsheng smiled and patted him on the shoulder, took the official transfer document he had written and stamped with the official seal, looked at it, and said while hiding it in his arms: "Let's go, the little brother will go to the restaurant to invite Brother Dabo to drink a strong drink!" ”

"Poof-" Da Bo Xiaoyi, who was drinking tea, couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea, his face turned green, and he scolded in his heart: "You need to drink strong wine, your whole family needs to drink strong wine!" ”

"Just kidding, just kidding, it's sincere to invite you to eat and drink, let's go for a long time, we have to communicate more together and exchange feelings!"

Da Bo Xiaoyi was not angry in his heart, but he was half-pushed and half-dragged by Zhao Junsheng to the restaurant.

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng ordered the baggage team to set off to return to the Jinling camp, and when the team left from outside the city, a white shadow appeared on the city wall not far away, and the cold wind blew and froze her pretty face red.

Lu Xuanbo rode his horse and ran to Zhao Junsheng's side and whispered, "Young Master, look over there!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head to follow Lu Xuanbo's gaze, a white shadow came into view, the war horse under his crotch slowly stopped, he thought about it and asked Lu Xuanbo: "These days, have you noticed that there are people around Miss Wan who are watching?" ”

"I found two people, the last time we came to Shanwu County, these two people were shaking around Miss Wan's residence, and I also found them yesterday, I thought they were sent by General Wan to protect her secretly, so I didn't care. Could it be that the young master thinks that they were sent by someone else to spy on Miss Wan? ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "I remember I told you that Emperor Tuoba Tao took a fancy to Miss Wan's beauty and wanted to take her into the palace, but she didn't want to go, because the two grew up together, Tuoba Tao couldn't pull his face and forcibly sent someone to bring her into the palace, so he could only temporarily give up the plan to forcibly take her into the palace, hoping that she could figure it out by herself, but she didn't want others to take the lead in the palace, so he sent someone to monitor the people who contacted Miss Wan!" ”

Lu Xuanbo touched his horse's mane and said slowly: "I remember that there is a yamen in the Northern Dynasty today that specializes in raising a large number of spies and fine works, and these people are responsible for finding out news, not only spying on the military and government affairs of the surrounding enemy countries, but also monitoring some ministers of the DPRK and China, and the official in charge of this yamen is named Bailu!" Under the egret there are internal and external waiting officials, the inner waiting officer is responsible for the inside of the court, and the outer waiting officer is responsible for the outside of the court! The two people who are monitoring Miss Wan should be spies sent by the internal waiting officer! ”

Zhao Junsheng took a deep breath, turned his head to look at the shadow on the city wall, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Lu Xuanbo and commanded: "Don't go first, find a way to avoid the ears and eyes of the spies to approach Miss Wan, give this to her, tell her that this is antifreeze oil, you can apply it to your skin, don't stand in the wind, go back early!" ”

"Got it!" Lu Xuanbo took the porcelain vase and turned around.

Zhao Junsheng glanced at the shadow again, and galloped forward with a hard heart.

The next day the weather improved, the sun came out, the temperature was quite high, the snow on the ground began to melt, the speed of the horse-drawn sleigh was greatly reduced, and the horses were more struggling.

After only one hour, Zhao Junsheng ordered the team to stop, add wheels to all the sleds, and the sleigh turned into a carriage, and after hitting the road, the speed increased again, and the strength of the bantam horse is that it is not picky, adapts to the harsh environment, has super endurance, and can always maintain speed when pulling the carriage.

It took only two and a half days for the baggage team loaded with grain and grass supplies to return to the Jinling camp.

"Pei Jin, transport half a month's transfer to our baggage battalion, as well as those crossbows, crossbow arrows and pig iron blocks, don't let the people of the garrison see it!" Zhao Junsheng pulled Pei Jin over and commanded in a low voice.

Pei Jin knew that Zhao Junsheng wanted to reserve more food and supplies for the brothers in the baggage camp, and food and materials were the life of these years! He promised in a low voice: "Don't worry, your subordinates can save it!" ”

The baggage camp was divided into two, Zhao Junsheng led a large group of people to pull the carriage into the town and the garrison agreed, Pei Jin took a small part of the men and horses to drive some carriages back to the baggage camp to hide the food and materials.

After handing over with the quartermaster, Zhao Junsheng came to the tooth tent, and saw that Wan Du Gui was playing with a knife in front of the tooth tent, so he stood aside and made no sound, and waited for Wan Du Gui to sweat all over his body, and immediately applauded and praised after collecting the knife: "The military master's sword technique is so powerful and powerful, and it must be invincible on the battlefield!" ”

Wan Dugui handed the big knife to the soldiers, took the towel to wipe his sweat, and motioned to Zhao Junsheng to follow him into the account, "You kid knows how to pat on the back!" How was this grain shipment? Dabo Xiaoyi didn't embarrass you, right? ”

Zhao Junsheng followed Wandu into the account, and said as he walked: "No! The fat man was probably scared, but this time he was very honest. The subordinates brought back two months' allocation this time, and they also received half a month's allocation from Dabo Xiaoyi! ”

"Oh? General Ben said that there is nothing you kid can't do! Don't worry, Ben promised you to give you 30% of the extra and will never break his promise! In two days, you'll come back to Ben General to get the approval! ”

Zhao Junsheng clenched his fists: "Yes, thank you military master!" By the way, the subordinates have just come from outside the camp, how do you feel that there are a lot of soldiers in the camp? ”

Wan Dugui raised his head and said: "On the day after your baggage battalion left, General An Da divided the defense area for the three armies, and the defense area of our Huaishuo Town is in the northeast direction, and some large and small fortresses, outposts, and beacon towers need to be built in the defense area and sent people to garrison them, so some soldiers were sent over!" By the way, Mulan's tooth was also sent out, in the northernmost part of the defense area, Nantiangang! ”

"What?" Zhao Junsheng's face changed greatly, "No, I have to rush over and take a look!" The military master, his subordinates take a day off and rush back tomorrow morning! With that, he ran out.

Wan Dugui was stunned, and couldn't help but scold: "This kid, if you say you will take leave?" Ben hasn't said yes yet! ”
