So Gao Yue asked the envoys around him to be responsible for giving money to this group of ruffians who occupied the king's land.

The price of crossing the ship is calculated according to the number of ships and the carrying capacity, and the price of Qianhu and Wubaihu is not the same; Although the Shenwei cavalry on the shore did not take a boat, they had to collect "money" according to the number of horses.

In addition, there is also a one-time "Cheng Cheng Money".

In this way, you have to pay a toll of up and down 100 times.

So Gao Yue Xingying was all angry, and there was a pickled breath in his chest, but Ji Gong said that he wanted to be steady, so he had nowhere to vent.

After receiving the money, the purple-shirted second-rank officer who was the first to go to the back of the hill and whistle.

After a while, a large number of thin men in ragged clothes and bare feet, as if they had come out of the fields and bushes, some of them with gray hair, some with only a few pieces of linen covering their bodies, leaning on their backs and holding on to the ropes, under the reprimand and drive of the soldiers, crawled to the shore with rolling belts, presumably the so-called slender households.

Gao Yue, who was standing on the deck, couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this scene.

The boats, which were the first to get stuck in the sand, began to move slowly under the pull of countless ropes......

For the next twenty miles, the slender man led the boats through until the boats were able to regain a normal draft.

Before entering the Yongqiao Patrol Hospital, Gao Yue asked his subordinates to give each of these slender men a hundred cents.

The slender men knelt on the ground, thanking them a thousand times, and when they parted the money in their loins, Gao Yue, who had disembarked to the shore to rest, grabbed the hand of the old man and told him, "Before you go back, you should wait until you bury the money in one place, and then get up and divide it later." ”

As soon as the old man heard this, he understood that Gao Yue was different from other officials, and knew that they would be exploited by that group of soldiers after receiving the money, so he was in awe and hurriedly made a fuss against Gao Yue.

"The old man doesn't need to be polite, just ask you, why the imperial court has flown the hall and scrapped the Daitang along the river, so this group of soldiers is still so lawless, and the local county order in Songzhou doesn't care?"

"Don't hide it from the public, the hall is waste paper here for us! The county commander is the general who guards the local area, or the former shipping envoy (under the Dou Zancha Gang Law, the envoy in charge of Cao Yun set up by the towns of each party), he indulged his pawns to come here to cut off the flow and collect the money from the boat, and also seized the water to exploit the surrounding people. And we, the poor, although we are not a fiber family on the surface, but the situation is even worse before, not only was it forcibly dragged by these pawns to pull the fiber, but it is not yet finished, and after returning home, we have to deal with the miscellaneous labor, it is really a wife and a separation, life is better than death......" After speaking, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and cried in front of Gao Yue.

Entering the summer hill of Sizhou, the water gradually opens up, the bow of the boat pushes away the waves, splashes bursts of white water, many birds hovering on the sails, and the villages and towns along the road are becoming more and more prosperous.

"When Master Yan first traveled two thousand miles of Caoyun, he wrote a letter to Yuanzai, which talked about the four major shortcomings of Caoyun. Then Master Yan solved them one by one, but who would have thought that it would not take twenty years, but the ills would return to the same as before, and I would have to solve them...... If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, how would I have known that in a place like Xuanwu Town, Biansong, where the military and government are not separated, the abolition of the Xianhu under the Zhongshu Sect had a good starting point, but in the end, it aggravated their disaster...... In order to get out of this terrible cycle of helplessness, maybe I have to look farther and do it more thoroughly. This must be what Master Yan wants to ask when he meets me in Sanmenxia on my return journey, and what kind of answer will I give him at that time? ”

When the ship was about to leave Xiaqiu, a group of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared in the field in the west, and the general led by him saw Gao Yue's ship and flag, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and shouted: "Ji Gong, I am Wang Zhixing, the goalkeeper of Xu Hao Siya, can Ji Gong still remember me?" ”

It turned out to be Wang Zhixing under Zhang Jianfeng, a ruthless man who could run 3,000 miles in ten days.

Originally, when the relationship between Li Shigu and the imperial court was tense, Wang Zhixing accepted the instructions of Zhang Jianfeng, the envoy of Xuzhou Jiedu, and guarded the area of Teng, Feng and Peishu counties, and now Ziqing has been obedient to the imperial court, and learned that Gao Yue crossed the border and went out of the town of Huainan, so he hurriedly led two hundred cavalry to guard, on the way Wang Zhixing disliked the horses running too slowly, and wanted to leave others behind, and he galloped to Bianshui first.

"Kuang Zhi!" The reunion of the deceased is naturally extraordinarily enthusiastic.

Gao Yue simply gave up the boat and went ashore, rode a horse in parallel with Wang Zhixing, and inquired about the military and political situation of many Huainan and Xu Si places, and Wang Zhixing also made Zhang Jianfeng offer his loyalty to the imperial court on behalf of Xu Haosi. The two went straight to Linhuai, that is, the place where Bianshui enters Huaishui, and since then it is the jurisdiction of Huainan Town, and Wang Zhixing is reluctant to part with Gao Yue.

In the local patrol yard, Gao Yue changed to a larger and wider boat, rather than a flat-bottomed boat in the Bianshui, more similar to a sea boat, with several large sails on the mast, along the Huaishui to the east with the wind, so inconvenient, almost one day and one night, that is, arrived at Shanyangdu in Chuzhou.

Shanyangdu, that is, Hangou, is a canal connecting Huaishui and the Yangtze River.

After entering the ditch from Shanyang, the first stop is the Baoying Patrol Hospital in Chuzhou.

It was also in this courtyard that the military personnel of Huainan Town stood in dense clusters and came to welcome the new Jiedu envoy.

Huainan is still a Xiongzhen under the key control of the imperial court, so the officials of the prefectures and counties are directly appointed by the imperial court, and the town generals are scattered and stationed in key locations, so the only ones who can come to meet Gao Yue are the bureaucrats in the military government.

Gao Yue led the town this time, not like the traditional edict shogunate, the shogunate in the middle of the court to recruit bureaucrats to accompany him, and then to the locality, he said that this time "a certain Zhongshu Shilang and Huainan West Road (Huaixi) two towns, only because of the urgency of the military situation, the original Huainan military government bureaucracy, nothing changed", so this time Gao Yue did not bring the secretary, did not bring the marching Sima, did not bring the capital to take the ya, but only the original in Xingyuan, Fengxiang formed part of the three government personnel to re-open, in addition to bringing a few envoys, responsible for the accounting along the way.

"The shogunate was a temporary institution for the war effort, and in the past, it was needed to have scribes who were proficient in words and chapters to be in charge of the handover of documents, but now it is different in that it requires specialized technical officials, such as gunners, accountants, horse herders, and planners." Gao Yue thinks so.

However, after arriving at Baoying Hospital, Gao Yue saw that the organization of this town in Huainan is not simple.

But there were more than 100 officials in scarlet clothes and green shirts, and they were divided into three teams to stand.

One of the teams, at the forefront of the list was Gu Xiu, the staff of the former Huainan Jiedu envoy Du Ya, and all the people behind him were "Huainan Military Government Officials";

The middle team is subordinate to the system of the Degree Branch Division, headed by Wang Haichao, the queen of the Yangtze Academy, and is full of officials from the Queen, the Inspectorate and the Branch Inspectorate;

The team over there was subordinate to the Salt and Iron Transshipment Division, headed by Meng Zhongyang, the governor of Shoulu Yuan, and all the officials of the hospital were behind him.

Ran all the way from Shoulu to Chuzhou Baoyinglai, this Meng Zhongyang worked very hard to see me, Gao Yue said secretly.
