In the afternoon, Chen Yuan led the Beidi Yankees and others to flee to the wharf outside the city of Xinxiangzhou, and returned to the mouth of the river by boat. Since seeing Xie Fangde in the morning, Chen Yuan really felt the horror of having a Tang monk by his side.

This Tang monk is Chen Yuan's just-in-law Shi County Lieutenant. This county lieutenant Shi followed Chen Yuan all morning, chattering, wanting to intervene in everything, and consciously took charge of Chen Yuan's affairs.

However, fortunately, there is an old fritter in officialdom who is the county lieutenant of Shi, and he has reaped a lot of benefits this time. In terms of weapons alone, I got fifty crossbows and bows that were difficult to get my hands on, as well as 300 simple knives, 500 iron spear heads, 300 shields, 10 chain mail, 500 sets of battle robes, and a number of other miscellaneous items, far exceeding the 500 promised by Xie Fang.

The supplies were handed over in the morning, and then transported by ship to Lead Mountain. With this batch of weapons, supplemented by the production of Zixi Cottage, it is enough to arm more than a thousand people, and I don't have to worry about weapons at least in the near future. More importantly, this cheap man also promised that the township soldiers would be recruited, and the grain and grass would be supported, and the government of Leadshan County would give full support. To a certain extent, this is equivalent to sending the entire Leadshan County to Chen Yuan.

With the cooperation of the county government, it is naturally much more convenient for the recruitment and reorganization of the security regiment, but in view of the Shi family's previous practices and the enthusiasm of the cheap zhangren, we have to be vigilant. However, in the future, this cheap man can be handed over to Wang Fuzi to deal with.

Imagining the scene of the two old foxes getting together and intriguing, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile. In any case, the rear doesn't have to worry about itself, and only needs to take care of Anren's side in the future.

The fast boat went down the water, and the pole of the boatman Chen Laosan tapped in the river from time to time, and the green mountains and rivers on both sides of the river quickly retreated.

Smoke is already rising from the riverside villages, and some villagers have already begun to prepare dinner. In the fields by the river, farmers are working in the rice fields of Tusui, and some children are playing by the river, just like a rich and self-satisfied family.

This mountain, this water, this person, Chen Yuan felt extremely cordial. However, the damned Mengyuan people are coming, and the banks of the Xinjiang River will be in ruins in the future, with a pair of blank eyes, no more joy, no laughter.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuan's mood couldn't help but become heavy.

"Chen Laosan, is it almost there?"

"Owner, after the fork of the river in front, there will be two or three miles of waterway." Chen Laosan took the pole and replied briskly. This is the old buddy of the Chen family, and he is also the head of the Chen family's fleet. I have been running by the Xinjiang River all year round, and I am very familiar with this water journey.

"Chen Laosan, have you ever been to Anren?"

"Owner, Anren is not easy to say, but Poyang Lake is frequent. When the old club is here, it is common for our Chen family's ship to deliver goods to Poyang and Jiangzhou. Chen Laosan said with a smile.

"You know the matter of the security team coming out of Anren. Tomorrow you gather all the fleets at home, and at the same time let the sailing guys settle their homes. The day after tomorrow, the fleet sent the security team to Anren. ”

"The owner, Master Wang ordered it yesterday." Chen Laosan said with a smile.

"Oh. What do guys say, are you afraid? ”

"I'm afraid of a bird. We eat just the food of the boat, and we don't let them go ashore to kill the tartars. This waterway, we come and go freely, and the Mongols can get it even if they catch it up. According to me, our Chen family treats them so leniently, even if they are told to go ashore to kill the Tartars. Chen Laosan didn't care about the authenticity.

"Can't say that. This flotilla has not been trained to kill the enemy, so he can't fight the Tartars. Chen Yuan shook his head, "Tell the guys in the fleet that if you go to Anren after the fleet, you will also be counted as going on the expedition, and the salary will be doubled." Those who went to Anren this time were given five times to settle down. ”

"Boss, you think too highly of them." Chen Laosan pouted.

As he spoke, the boat arrived at the estuary wharf, and Chen Yuan and the Beidi got off the boat. I saw that on the dock, my sister Erniang led the two of them and was waiting for me on the pier.

"Brother." Seeing Chen Yuan get off the boat, Erniang ran over and held Chen Yuan's hand.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Chen Yuan was a little weird.

"Brother, are you really going to go on the expedition? I won't let you go, on this battlefield, there are no eyes for swords and guns, in case ....." Erniang said urgently.

It turned out to be for this, Chen Yuan's heart suddenly changed. From yesterday to today, I have been busy, and I haven't been able to inform Erniang.

"Haha, who is your brother, what kind of knives and guns dare to stab your brother? You can rest assured. Chen Yuan said with a smile.

"No, you can't go. If you really want to go, I will go with you. Erniang said resolutely.

"Alright, let's go back and talk about that. Don't let outsiders laugh at it. Chen Yuan gently patted his sister's thin shoulder, and An Wei said.

"Hmm." Erniang let go of Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan looked at the two people behind Erniang. Both of them are old acquaintances, one is Zhao Mengchen's daughter Jiuniang, and the other is vaguely familiar with each other with his head down, and he went to the camp with Jiu Ge a few months ago. It's not strange that Brother Jiu, a bold girl, is running around, but what surprised Chen was that the two of them got involved with their sister at some point.

"Brother, these two are my friends. Zhao Jiuniang and Shi Sanniang. Seeing Chen Yuan looking at the two, Erniang hurriedly introduced.

"Oh. It's Zhao Gongzi. Let's go together. Chen Yuan nodded, didn't ask anything, and led the way to the regiment headquarters.

Seeing that Chen Yuan ignored himself, Zhao Jiuniang snorted heavily, and was about to lose his temper, Shi Sanniang hurriedly stepped forward, took Jiuniang's hand, and shook his head. Jiuniang stomped hard, still following Erniang.

"Chen Shan, are they here?"

"Chen Shan, Chen Jiang, and Chen Lin are all here, and they are all in the Hekou Patrol Regiment Headquarters now." Erniang said.

"Well, Chen Yuan nodded. This is also Chen Yuan's arrangement. The division is imminent, Chen Yuan intends to summon these senior officers under him to come over and make arrangements for everything, which can be regarded as a joint meeting of the military and the government.

"Brother, Brother Shan asked me to take care of the financial office, I can't be busy alone, so I want to ask Brother Jiu and the two of them to come over to help me. Jiu Niang, the two of them are much more capable than me. But Master Wang just didn't agree. Go and talk to the king. When she arrived at the regiment headquarters, Erniang remembered something again, pulled Chen Yuan aside, and said in a low voice.

"Oh." Chen Yuan groaned, stopped, and looked at his sister and the two brothers behind him. The Finance Department is still the core of the Chan family and the Security Corps, and cannot be entrusted to non-confidants. There are only two relatives in the family, my sister and my aunt. The aunt never took care of family affairs, and Chen Yuan had to entrust the financial affairs to his sister Erniang, and secretly was still ready to ask the prince to help. Now that he has taken the liberty of introducing outsiders, how can Chen Yuan agree for a while!

"Brother, it's okay." Erniang shook Chen Yuan's hand and urged.

"I'll talk about that later." Chen Yuan was a little embarrassed.

"Hey, the surname is Chen, what do you mean by that. If Erniang hadn't begged us, we wouldn't have been impatient to take care of your bad debts. Seeing Chen Yuan's hesitation, the ninth brother finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, shouted loudly, and pulled his companion to leave.

"Jiu Niang, don't go. My brother didn't say he disagreed. Erniang hurriedly ran over, grabbed Jiuniang, and comforted.

"He just doesn't want to. Look at his donkey face, how long is it? It's as if we're begging him. Jiuniang said disdainfully.

"Jiuniang, can you say one less word." Shi Sanniang also gently persuaded.

"yes, my brother didn't say anything."

"Look like that, it's the same as the old lame man, I don't agree. My ninth brother is not a fool, what are you doing here? Jiuniang said indignantly.

"Yo, who's cursing the old man?" Suddenly, a voice sounded, and several people turned around, only to see Old Master Wang limping over, with an old face full of smiles.

"I guess Miss is complaining about me." Master Wang smiled, "The old man is guilty." Can the old man change his mind? ”

"What does the Master mean?"

"Since it is a trusted friend of the young lady, the old man strongly approves of it." Wang Tianzi said with a smile.

"Isn't that you...... Hey, you agreed. Erniang was surprised.

"Hehe, the old man is waiting for the adults to come back and report this. Since the young lady has already told the adult, the old man has also made it clear. The ninth brother of the Zhao family and the third brother of the Shi family are shrewd and capable, knowledgeable and courteous, and they are the good helpers of the young lady. The old man was fully in favor. Master Wang said with a smile.

"You, didn't you disagree in the morning?" Brother Jiu was also surprised.

"Haha, after all, this matter has to be the final decision of the adult, right? My lord. As he spoke, Master Wang kept signaling to Chen Yuan, looking like Chen Yuan would agree immediately.

Wang Fuzi Chen Yuan naturally trusts it. Chen Yuan's heart moved and nodded.

"Haha, Brother Jiu, Sanniang, I knew that my brother would agree." Erniang jumped over, took the hands of Jiu Ge and Sanniang, and said happily.

"Well, let's first grieve the two deputy directors of the Finance Department. Financial matters, please worry about the two of you. The matter has come to this, Chen Yuan solemnly bowed to Brother Jiu and Sanniang.

"Your Excellency is welcome. We will do our best to live up to the trust of our lords. Brother Jiu was still in a daze, but the third mother of the Shi family stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"Hard work two." Chen Yuan nodded, turned his head to Erniang and said, "Erniang, you take the two of you to settle down first, and I'll go to the regiment headquarters to deal with some things first." I'll talk to you later. ”

"Well, brother, go get busy first. I went home with Brother Jiu and Sanniang to see the relocation of the tent. Erniang nodded.

"Well, go ahead, I'll let you know when something happens." Chen Yuan nodded, and motioned to the Beidi Yankees to lead a few to escort them.

"Master, what's going on?" Seeing his sister leave with his friend, Chen Yuan turned around and asked.

In the morning, the young lady came with two people and said that she was going to recruit them into the finance department, and the old man was startled. This finance department can be transferred in at will. Therefore, the old man disagreed anyway. Wang Fuzi said.

"Then why did you just do that..."

"Your Excellency must have thought it was strange." Mr. Wang said with a smile, "The old man naturally didn't agree to what the young lady mentioned in the morning, but when the news came from the state capital, the old man changed his mind." ”

"Oh. What does this have to do with the state? Liu Yuan wondered.

"Hehe, in the state capital, under the persuasion of the sentencing adult, didn't the adult reconcile with the Shi family. My lord, who is Shi Sanniang? ”

"Shi Sanniang, surnamed Shi, is ....." Chen Yuan was shocked in his heart and speculated.

"It's Mrs. Future. This lady didn't say that she wanted to enter the finance department, that is, she wanted to be in charge, how could the old man disapprove? Your Excellency, you say yes. Master Wang said with a smile.

"You......" Chen Yuan shook his head. recalled Sanniang's appearance, petite figure, gentle temperament, typical Jiangnan girl appearance. Well, not bad. The old man still has some vision, and he didn't find me a dominatrix, otherwise he would ......

"My lord, my lord...."

"Well, let's go inside, it's important to get down to business." Chen Yuan came back to his senses and stepped into the door.
