Zhao Junsheng knew that Mulan, as a subject under the rule of the Northern Wei Dynasty, had a natural awe of the emperor, although he was also afraid, but not as afraid as the people of this era, he comforted Mulan: "Mulan, don't worry, as long as the emperor enters the territory of Liang County, we will immediately stop raising prices, so that even if someone sees it, they can't grasp the handle!" ”

"Besides, what is the little money we earn to the emperor and the court? The emperor led his army to defeat Hu Xia this year, and the seized property was incalculable! As a young and promising king, would he care about this money? Is he going to lose face? Even if he doesn't want it, the courtiers will, and they will stop the king from competing with the people! ”

"Also, the imperial army returned from a great victory and brought back millions of cattle, sheep and horses itself had a great impact on the livestock and fur markets in the Great Wei Dynasty, everyone knows this, although this matter has not completely passed, but it is normal for the market prices in some areas to rebound, the emperor and ministers will not pay attention to these trivial things, do you know what the emperor is here to do on this southern tour?"

Hua Mulan shook her head: "Where can we guess this kind of court event?" However, I have heard that the garrison on the border of the South has been increasing for some time now, so is the Khan worried that the South Korea wants to regain the lost territory and raise troops to fight it? That's why you want to tour the south to deter the Southern Dynasties? ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't expect that such a woman as Hua Mulan would pay attention to the situation, and she could guess the purpose of the emperor's southward movement, he smiled: "You are right, but it is not comprehensive, now that the imperial army has returned to the court, the Southern Dynasty has lost the best opportunity to send troops north to recapture the land of Henan, in fact, the Southern Dynasty is not unwanted, but can't, in recent years, the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Liu Yilong, is busy cutting off the ministers." If the internal worries are not eliminated, how can there be any worries? The emperor's southern tour did have the intention of deterring the Southern Dynasty, but his main purpose was not here, but to appease the generals who were guarding Henan! ”

Hua Mulan was puzzled: "Pacify the generals who are guarding Henan?" Why appease? ”

Zhao Junsheng said as he walked with his arms crossed, and Mulan listened carefully beside him.

"Who do you say has the highest official position in Henan now?"

Hua Mulan didn't think about it and said: "Then it goes without saying, of course it's Sima Chuzhi, the general of Annan, what does the Khan's southern tour have to do with him?" ”

"Of course, Sima Chuzhi is a descendant of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty, and has long wanted to send troops south to attack Liu Song to avenge the destruction of the country, in recent years, the new emperor of the Southern Dynasty Liu Yilong has spent all his energy on dealing with the powerful minister Sikong Xu Xianzhi, Zhongshu Ling Fu Liang, and the leading general Xie Hui, it can be said that the past few years have been the most unstable years in the Southern Dynasty, Sima Chuzhi must have thought that if he could send troops south, he would be able to destroy Liu Song, but the emperor listened to Cui Hao's suggestion to lead the army to attack Hu Xia, and did not adopt Sima Chuzhi's suggestion! In addition, Wang Huilong, the captain of the Southern Barbarians and the general of Annam, also strongly advocated attacking Liu Song, and the guards who guarded the Tiger Prison, Luoyang, Xingyang, and Huatai were all Han generals, and most of them were people who surrendered from the Southern Dynasty. ”

Of course, there is also a saying in the officialdom that this time the emperor led the army to attack Hu Xia and won a complete victory, and the capture was rich, and the northern generals who accompanied the army were all richly rewarded, but the generals who guarded the south did not go out with the army and did not get a reward, they were red-eyed, and wanted to send troops south to attack Liu Song, and also wanted to make a fortune to break the country. Of course, this is just a joke, nonsense! ”

After Zhao Junsheng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Mulan, and saw that she was staring at him, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this, I have flowers on my face?" ”

Hua Mulan smiled: "It's just the first time I've seen you talk about the general trend of the world, and you look very high-spirited!" ”

Zhao Junsheng blushed a little, "Don't praise me like this, I'll be proud!" ”

Hua Mulan smiled and clenched her fists, gently slapped Zhao Junsheng's shoulder, took out a bow and a bag of arrows from the weapon rack she passed by, handed them to Zhao Junsheng and said, "Look at your progress in the past two months!" ”

"That's fine!" Zhao Junsheng agreed, put the quiver on his back, took out a bow and aimed at the opposite target, the target was about sixty meters.

With a "whoosh", the arrow hit the target, but it didn't hit the bull's-eye.

Zhao Junsheng shot ten arrows in a row, four of which hit the bull's-eye, the other arrows flew away, and five of the arrows missed the bull's-eye.

Hua Mulan said: "Hey, it's not a small progress, it's very good to be able to reach this level just by practicing archery!" ”

"That is, I get up before dawn every day to practice martial arts and archery, and I have to shoot 500 arrows every time!"

Zhao Junsheng spoke, after shooting the tenth arrow, he felt that his arm was a little sore, and his strength dropped a lot, he immediately used his internal force, and the internal force traveled all over his body, driving away most of the soreness and numbness, and when he returned to the dantian, he consumed most of it, which had a certain amplification effect on his strength, and the long-lasting maintenance of endurance was also quite obvious.

Then he continued to shoot arrows, and shot a whole bag of arrows in one go, there were thirty of them, until the internal force stored in the dantian was almost consumed.

Hua Mulan was quite surprised: "This is a stone bow, you can shoot a pot of arrows in one breath without panting and blushing, and you are making rapid progress!" I think when I first practiced archery, it took me more than five months to open a bow! ”

Zhao Junsheng pouted and said: "You are now playing with a three-stone bow, you can beat me with one hand, I want to practice to your level and I don't know that it will be the Year of the Monkey!" ”

Mulan leaned in and said, "You just want to surpass me like that?" ”

"That is, if you are angry and unhappy one day, hold me down with one hand and beat me with the other, wouldn't I be miserable?"

Hua Mulan grabbed Zhao Junsheng by the collar, leaned in front of Zhao Junsheng and said, "Then do you plan to fight back if you practice more than me?" ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, even if you can beat your wife, you can't beat your wife." If I don't fight back, I can always run, right? Can you hide? If I can't run away, I can't hide, isn't it very sad? ”

"That's pretty much it, good!"

“······” The muscles on Zhao Junsheng's face twitched.

After eating, Zhao Junsheng said goodbye and hurried back to Suiyang City.

Early the next morning, under Zhao Junsheng's arrangement, the notices of the Facao Office were posted at the gate of Suiyang City, and then several notices were sent to other counties in the county to be posted.

In each county town, he also sent people to carry gongs, and while beating gongs along the streets, he shouted that the post houses in the city and the post stations outside the city would start to accept private messages from the people and the delivery of goods from now on.

At the gates of Suiyang City and various county seats, a large crowd of people watched the contents of the notice, and there were post soldiers in the city who beat gongs and shouted along the streets, and soon passed on the news, and in less than two days, almost all the officials, soldiers and people in the county knew the news.

According to today's prices and the price that the people can afford, Zhao Junsheng set the freight for his letter delivery into two types: ten yuan per letter at the ordinary level of secrecy, which is for the ordinary people; The special level of secrecy was priced at fifty yuan each, which was for the eunuchs, the wealthy, and the merchants.

The price of the goods transported is: ten dollars per piece below one catty, and two dollars per catty above one catty; The freight fee for special and valuable items will be negotiated separately; The transportation cost of bulk cargo is also negotiated separately.

Zhao Junsheng knows that the quality of the post guards is not high, the living conditions are not very good, if there are valuables in the delivery process, it is inevitable that there will be covetousness, and there will be a situation of private interception and self-theft on the way, and then it will be up to the post system itself to investigate, and he also specially asked Zuo Ling Shi Cao Xianyun to be responsible for the investigation of this kind of thing, and give an explanation to the bitter masters.

Huajiabao.

Hua Mulan was instructing Bao Ding and the women to shear the sheep and sheep, Ma Er rode over, dismounted and walked to Mulan's side, handed her a piece of paper and said, "Miss, two hundred horses have been sent to Suiyang City and handed over to the Fa Cao Agency, this is the arrears bill signed by my uncle!" ”

"Good!" Mulan put away the arrears.

At this time, another burger rode over with a few people, "Young Castle Master, Master Pi from Zhexian County, Master Fu from Bo County, Master Guan from Yucheng, and Master Li, Master Wang, and Master Hong from Suiyang are here!" ”

Hua Mulan stepped forward and hugged her fists and smiled: "A few masters have arrived, Mulan has missed the distance, forgive your sins!" ”

"Haha, the young castle master is polite!" Master Li of Suiyang City said with a smile, and when he saw the burgers pressing the sheep to the ground, he was quite puzzled and asked, "Young castle master, who are you?" ”
