The carriage left the Acropolis in silence, and after leaving the city gate, it went east first, and then had to cross a ferry, Tianchengwei was surrounded by the Sanggan River and the Nanyang River, two large rivers one south and one north, and some small river tributaries ran through the territory, this ferry was a tributary of the Sanggan River, not very wide, about thirty steps wide, but there was no bridge, people still need a ferry to pass.

Zhang Han has planned to build a bridge here, and it is to build a solid stone bridge, building a bridge is not an easy task in ancient times, the so-called greatest good deed of the ancients is to repair the bridge and make up the road, just soup porridge is useless, repairing the bridge is more expensive than repairing the road, because it takes a large piece of stone, chiseled into a suitable stone, and then slowly erected it, it requires manpower and financial resources, and the bridge should be designed, it is not as simple as just erecting it, a stone bridge of such a large scale is at least thousands of silver, no one in the local government asks such a thing, and ordinary rich people can't do it, Because Zhang Han wanted to mobilize troops and dredge trade routes to a greater extent, it was inevitable to build bridges everywhere.

The construction of a bridge here was the first one.

Han Qi is still the ferry in front of him, the day in May is very cool in the evening, it is not very late now, people are worried about crossing the river earlier, looking for a place to rest, many people began to shout the boatman, but after shouting for a long time, the ferry is still nowhere to be seen.

"Master," after shouting, he got a reply, and one of Han Qi's family members came to report: "The boatman said that the ferry was leaking, and he was looking for someone to repair it on the other side, and it was hard to pass tonight." ”

"What's that?" Han Qi's lawsuit, he was humiliated by Zhang Han, and he was determined to rush to Beijing as soon as possible, go through the door to determine the new official position, and then play a book fiercely, and stab Zhang Han's affairs, even if he offended the entire Xuanda officialdom. But as soon as he came out, he encountered such an unpleasant thing, he was full of displeasure, and wanted to get angry with his family, thinking that at this time, he still had to gather some people's hearts, and it was not appropriate to be separated from his family, so he only said with a cold face: "There are people living nearby, find a way to find a mansion to settle down." ”

"Yes, sir."

The family was lucky to come out without incident, and they didn't dare to slack off, they searched around, only there was a small Zhuangzi more than four miles away, fortunately there was an ancestral hall inside, and they could barely settle down after cleaning, Han Qi didn't have much to say, an official of his level could use the post station openly, and he didn't need to spend a penny on his own, and the post station had to serve him very well, but now that the tiger fell to Pingyang, he could only endure it.

After dark, everyone rested, Liu De also sat in the house to rest, he did not live in the ancestral hall, Han Qi had concubines, it was inconvenient to live with everyone, Liu De found a private family to live temporarily, Han Qi did not arrange meals for everyone, let alone raise money, Liu De had to pay for his own money to ask the farmer to make a few cakes, scramble a plate of eggs, mix a small plate of cucumbers, and eat a dinner.

He has been pondering in his heart, this time he doesn't know if everything will go north smoothly, the big tree of Dong Weng seems to be unreliable, but Liu De has followed Han Qi for many years, and the relationship is very good, if he gives up, the price is too great.

But Liu De has been thinking about Zhang Han's words and Zhang Han's words and deeds, he is no longer thinking about how to deal with Zhang Han, but thinking about what magic Zhang Han's words and deeds have, and why he can eat everywhere.

At this time, Liu De heard a slight footstep, he didn't care, in addition to the villagers who were the family members and attachés of the Han Mansion, dozens of people lived in a place centered on the ancestral hall, and there were a few powerful guards patrolling, Han Qi brought fifty or sixty boxes alone this time, all of which were accumulated over the years, and should have been sent back to his hometown, but now the Han family's hometown is within Zhang Han's sphere of influence, Han Qi is not very relieved, and he also needs a lot of money to operate in the north, so he can only bring these assets with him.

There are guards and so many people, Liu De didn't think too much about it at all, but the footsteps suddenly became urgent, and then Liu De saw a knife sticking in through the crack in the door, he slammed it, but the door opened quickly, Liu De subconsciously wanted to call, a pair of big hands covered his mouth, and then the knife was against the middle of his neck, and someone lowered his voice and said: "Dare to struggle and scream, you will die now." ”

Liu De felt that the blood in his whole body had coagulated, and his whole body was stiff and did not dare to move, and then his lower body was cold.

"it, the dead fat man peeed." The man grumbled softly, and a few chuckles came from the side.

"Let's go, laugh at it." Someone was urging outside, and then the person covering Liu De's mouth also hurried out, and then Liu De felt a handkerchief covering his nose, there was a strange aroma, and after about half a pillar of incense, he completely lost consciousness.

"Very good, it's nice to tie people up with this thing."

A few people slowly carried the soft mud-like Liu De out of the village, and there were a few dogs in the village, which had been solved by them in advance, and at this time slowly out of the village, there was really no movement at all.

"From opening the door to covering your mouth, it took six breaths." Wang Yong and others stood on the side of the road waiting for the carriage, Wang Yong looked at Liu De who was in a coma and said: "It's a pity that I haven't been able to get the incense stick that can stun people, although we are the fastest to rush in like this, but if the dead fat man is bolder, he can still call out." ”

He pointed to the fact that the cry was short, and that not many people heard it, or that he suspected that he had heard it wrong. But in the long run, there will always be a day when it will not be successful. ”

"Doctor Li's hemp boiling is good, soaking it on a person's face can make a person unconscious for more than half an hour, but he said that the amount of medicine should not be too large, otherwise it is easy for people to not wake up, or wake up for a long time and can't wake up."

"This has to record the amount of medication each time, and calculate how long it will take him to wake up."

Everyone nodded, a little man whistled, and a carriage galloped in the shadows.

……

"Han Qi is really going to die." Li Shenming has not gone elsewhere recently, unless there are some officialdom connections that he needs to sort out, of course, it is not good to be a guest by Zhang Han's side for a long time, and he will do some things to help with the maintenance of the aircraft, his ability is not to say, he has touched the door in a short time on Zhang Han's side, and the attendant division has all been handed over to Li Shenming, and Zhang Han has not worried much.

The weather was still very dark, Zhang Han was woken up, people were a little confused, he looked at the corner clock, it was not yet five o'clock.

"We thought he was a dead tiger, but this guy has a big heart."

"Show me."

Zhang Han sat up in his middle coat, took the report handed over by Li Shenming, glanced at it a few times, and then lay down again.

Li Shenming shouted, "Are you sleeping again?" Whatever? ”

"This little thing, Brother Zunlu, you can take care of it, is it worth bothering me?" Zhang Han said with a sleepy face: "In a few days, I will go to pick up Yu Niang to get married, and I have to take care of the affairs of Tiancheng and the two guards every day in the past few days, and I heard the report yesterday that it was more than eleven o'clock at night, you can spare me......"

"Okay, for the sake of you having to work hard......" Li Shenming's face was full of teasing, Sun Jingting had already gone back to Lingqiu, Zhang Han had to welcome a kiss again, a room in the cave, Sun Yuniang was a flat wife, and the etiquette was above the concubine, but it was slightly lower than the main room, and Zhang Han had to work hard again.

It's just that Li Shenming's "hard work" at this time is of course another meaning, Zhang Han picked up the bamboo pillow and threw it away.

……

"Tianchengwei has three non-palm commanders, two Zhenyuwei, both of whom are hereditary commanders, and there are also hereditary Tongzhi with a total of 17 members, 31 hereditary servants, 55 hereditary 1000 households, and more than 300 hereditary 100 households and deputy 100 households. These military attaches occupy a total area of 170,000 mu, and the cultivated land of Tiancheng and Zhenyu Liangwei totals 230,000 mu, and the officers account for more than half of it. ”

It was Xia Xiping who spoke, a young man with a small height and a very white face, who was running around with Li Yuchun to collect grain for a while, which was regarded as an internship period from Xinpingbao School, when the time came, the young people who ran with him had a place to go, and under the recommendation of Li Yuchun, Xia Xiping came to the General Affairs Bureau of the Attendant Division, responsible for doing statistical work, and his boss was Tian Jitang.

Tian Jitang was very busy, and he had to summarize and verify the accounts everywhere, and these things in front of him were handed over to the young people in the department to do, but fortunately, Xia Xiping and others lived up to the trust and took care of everything very clearly.

At the beginning of the country, of course, there was only one Wei commander, and then there were two Tongzhi, two affairs, and there were 5,000 households, and 1,000 households and 1000 households, and the Acropolis also had auxiliary institutions such as the Qing Military Department and the Experience Division and the Zhenfu Division, which could implement military law, assist in some literary and ink work, or help deal with affairs such as public affairs.

If you are in the canal area, the most important work is to transport it, if you are in Shandong, Henan, the most important work is to drill the army, at the beginning of the country, the class is very important, each guard is to pay for food, take turns to defend in important places such as the Beijing Division, and each guard is responsible for money and food, and each guard is responsible for money and food, and each guard is like a capillary, constantly transfusing blood to key places such as the Beijing Division.

Later, the logistics was taken away by the civilian officials, the military attache was only responsible for the command, and the civilian officials provided the logistics along the way, and the civilian officials were responsible for the logistics management in peacetime, and the Weisho army began to develop in the direction of beggars, and then it was no longer a garrison defense in Beijing and other places, but a continuous repair project, such as repairing the imperial palace, the imperial tomb, the Great Wall, the Beijing city wall, and so on.

Before and after Jiajing, in order to make the military attache no longer corrupt and persecute the small army, the state gave each officer a large amount of acres, but the fact is that the officers reasonably and legally got more acres of land, and made the small army their own tenants, and the guard station was even more ineffective.

Xia Xiping continued: "There are 5,100 soldiers on the register, more than 500 people who have escaped, in fact, the previous garrison commanders don't want to make up for people, now there are more than 10,000 people in Ding Yu, and the sub-grain grain that is transported to the capital every year is more than 6,000 stone according to the regulations, but in recent years, it has not been transported, there are no guards, and there is no urging from above, and there are 30 pairs of bows, 120 knives, 300 guns, and 10 cotton armors, which must be handed over every year. ”
