Returning from the Sancha River, Sun Degong sent him back to the post house directly, without the slightest intention of taking him to see Wang Huazhen. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yin Fusheng didn't say anything, and after saying goodbye to him, he went back to the post house.

The post house is an old man surnamed Yu, Yu Yicheng is very enthusiastic, as soon as he saw Yin Fusheng, he stepped forward to ask for warmth, asking this and that. One moment I asked if I drank tea, and another time I asked if I was cold when I slept at night. Soon after each time he was sent away, he came back to ask.

This time, Yu Yicheng knocked on the door again with a smile. Yin Fusheng was used to his interruption, and opened the door for him without even asking.

"Hehe, Champion Gong, do you want dinner?" Yu Yicheng asked with a smile.

"Okay, I'm just hungry, so I'll have to prepare it for me."

Soon after Yu Yicheng went, he sent a few simple dishes, "Our Guangning is now preparing for war, and there is a shortage of materials, especially this food, to supply tens of thousands of soldiers, it is even more economical." That's all there is to us here. Coarse tea and light rice, don't mind the champion. ”

"I've been eating these since I was a kid, so of course I don't mind. Yicheng don't have to worry. "Yin Fusheng looked at the food on the table is indeed much simpler than other post stations, and the amount is really small, at most, it can only be half full." Uh, but on my way to Quang Ninh, I saw a food delivery team, didn't they come here to deliver supplies? ”

Yu Yicheng thought for a while and said, "Oh, the grain transport team." Champion Gong should be talking about caravans. It is true that they often bring some supplies, but the number is not much, far from enough to consume tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

Not a lot?

But it is clear that the caravans encountered on the way, with the Jin characters, the Hui characters, and other large and small caravans from all over the country, one after another, have never been broken.

Could it be that this is the smuggling of Houjin?

Although Yin Fusheng still had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask again.

The next day, Yin Fusheng planned to go to Wang Huazhen. Regarding Sun Degong's matter, he wanted to let him know as soon as possible.

Walking on the road, I suddenly heard the sound of cars and horses behind me, and when I looked back, it was the caravan I saw on the road. And the leader is precisely the middle-aged man he inquired about the heavy snow road closure incident before. But the difference is that the transportation team has shrunk, and it is three-quarters less than what I have seen before. Moreover, the goods on the car are also gone.

"Dad, what's the difference between them and Ming Rob? Just give this little silver, not enough for our carriage and horse fare. The convoy came from far and near, and beside the middle-aged man in the lead, a teenager talked to him indignantly.

"Well, what can be done. As soon as we say it, we are the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we should contribute money and efforts to the country. As if the grain should have been delivered for nothing. "Middle-aged humane.

"Why are we? Their officials will say, "If you don't have a little benefit, we won't say anything about bringing him another team." Returning to eat the benefits, taking the gifts, and having to go from house to house every year, if one can't be delivered, we can't do this business. Thousands of miles to deliver goods, and no money is given. Hum! If it weren't for the money over there, who would love to come to this place. ”

"Shhhh Be quiet. The middle-aged man looked around and reminded: "This is not out of Guangning yet, take care of your mouth!" Don't complain if you shouldn't. Let's just make money, give them a few truckloads of food for nothing, it's all a benefit of customs clearance. ”

The young man pouted, still unconvinced.

While the father and son were talking, they passed by Yin Fusheng's eyes. Yin Fusheng immediately followed, "Oh, uncle, let's meet again." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Yin Fusheng, thought about it for a long time, and finally felt a little familiar, "Oh, aren't you the one on the road, that ......"

"You remember." The businessman is good at being polite, and "that" has been for a long time, and "that" has not come out. Yin Fusheng didn't care if he remembered who he was, and continued: "We are really fated." ”

"yes, yes."

Yin Fusheng casually looked at the truck behind him, "Yo, have you delivered all the goods you want to deliver?" ”

"Yes, yes, I just sent it, and I'm going home."

"Eh, I remember a lot of your carriage, why is there less?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was stunned, and the corners of his mouth twitched, looking a little unnatural. "Hehe, how could it be. It's little brother, you remember wrong. That's it, hehe, hehe......"

"Yes, maybe." Yin Fusheng followed and pretended to be stupid.

"Little brother, we still have something to do, so let's go first. We'll see you later. The middle-aged man said that, he didn't wait for Yin Fusheng to answer, and left in a hurry.

Watching the caravan leave, Yin Fusheng sighed secretly.

It seems that most of the supplies sent have been secretly smuggled into the Houjin army.

It is no secret that merchants in the late Ming Dynasty smuggled materials to Houjin. This kind of smuggling has contributed to the continuous growth of the Houjin army, and although this kind of large-scale smuggling has been expressly prohibited, it has never been effectively stopped, let alone eradicated. The reason for this is naturally inseparable from the collusion between officials and businessmen, and the corruption of civil officials in the Ming court is the fundamental reason.

Yin Fusheng pondered, and suddenly a flash of inspiration appeared in front of him.

With his current ability, it is a fool's dream to put an end to corruption, but he really seems to have a "bad" idea to stop smuggling in a short time.

Yin Fusheng smiled slightly, and walked to the governor's yamen.

After the ceremony, Yin Fusheng entered the flower hall. Wang Huazhen was sitting on a high seat in the hall, and Sun Degong and another person about thirty years old were sitting in his hands.

Seeing Yin Fusheng coming in, they got up one after another, and greeted each other with great enthusiasm. After introduction, Yin Fusheng learned that this man in his thirties was surnamed Jiang Ming Chaodong and was Wang Huazhen's personal general.

After some politeness, Wang Huazhen asked: "I heard that yesterday the champion went to our army's Sanchahe camp to have a look, I don't know what advice you have?" ”

Yin Fusheng looked at both sides and said, "My lord, the student has an important matter, and I want to talk to the adult alone, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

"Oh?" Wang Huazhen glanced at Sun Degong, Sun Degong shook his head secretly, and gave Wang Huazhen a look. Wang Huazhen immediately pinched his beard and smiled: "Well, Zhuangyuan Gong, these two are the confidants of this official, especially General Sun, who has followed this official for many years and is my most effective general." Therefore, no matter what, there is no need to shy away from the two of them. ”

"Yes, if the champion has any opinions on the matter of city defense, you can talk about it directly in person, and we can discuss it together." Sun Degong said.

Yin Fusheng's heart suddenly cooled half. Wang Huazhen trusted Sun Degong so much, how could words make him suspicious of him?

Yin Fusheng pondered for a moment, raised his head and said, "My lord, the students think that the camp along the Sancha River should change the guards. ”

Sun Degong was stunned, and felt that this champion seemed to be squeezing him inside and outside of his words from yesterday to today. Today, Wang Huazhen even had to remove Li Weilong's guard. How can this be?!

Sun Degong frowned, "Yin Zhuangyuan, are you dissatisfied with General Li?" Or are you dissatisfied with my grandson's merits? ”
