Standing outside the Hyaknohesha, you can clearly see the smoke floating in the sky at dusk.

Yang Xiaoyu stood quietly outside, watching Hu Chenghe carefully distribute food and meat, for fear of giving less to the military households!

When night completely fell, Peng Deming led forty-nine guards, with knives hanging from their waists, guns in their hands, and shabby battle robes, with two people as their heads, trotting over!

"Yang Baihu, the guards of the Right Banner are ready to go to the dock to patrol the defense!" Peng Deming wore a felt hat on his head and bent forward.

Yang Xiaoyu nodded, turned around and walked towards the door of the hundred households, called Hu Chenghe, who was distributing grain and meat, and said, "This official will go to the dock, and he won't come back tonight, tomorrow you will bring people into the city to buy the food you need!" ”

"Lord Yang, the wharf is windy, you better come back and live more comfortably!" Hu Chenghe said with a smile: "My subordinates have sent someone to clean your room, and you can move in tonight!" ”

Yang Xiaoyu didn't agree, nor did he refuse, and after nodding slightly, he turned around and left!

The Ming Dynasty strictly controlled the guards, and the guards were not allowed to move without permission, and the guards were not allowed to stay overnight.

Yang Xiaoyu is not an ordinary guard, and the set of things that the imperial court controls the guards will naturally not be on him.

Hangzhou Youwan Wharf is only five or six miles away from 100 households, and it can be reached in half an hour!

Yang Xiaoyu rode a horse and walked in front, followed by Wang Chong and two guards, who came to deliver food and meat earlier, and after the things were delivered, they were sent back by Yang Xiaoyu!

Peng Deming led the guards of the Right Banner and followed behind Yang Xiaoyu, who was riding a tall horse, with a look of envy on his face.

In this era, especially for the southerners who are not good at producing horses, horses are not only a means of transportation, but also a symbol of status.

As the general bannerman, Peng Deming only earns seven or eight taels of silver a year, three or four times more than the guards, but he can't afford to buy a good horse, unless his family is old and young, and it is possible to buy a good horse if they don't eat or drink for three years.

And Yang Xiaoyu in front of him, not only rode his own horse, but even the guards he brought rode good horses, which made Peng Deming envious for a long time!

After traveling more than two miles, Yang Xiaoyu suddenly stopped his horse and asked without looking back: "Mr. Peng, the cargo ship docked at the wharf, do you want to honor the household?" ”

"This and this!" Peng Deming obviously didn't expect Yang Xiaoyu to ask about this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while, so he was speechless.

Yang Xiaoyu's face changed color slightly, it seems that he expected it well, there is really a cat on the dock!

In all dynasties, when a cargo ship went ashore, it was necessary to take care of the sergeants guarding the dock, and then recruit foot strength to transport the goods ashore.

Youwan Baihu guards such a rich oil wharf, but his life is so poor that he can't even maintain his livelihood, this question was entangled in his heart when he first came to Baihu, but on the first day he came, he asked about it, which obviously did not conform to common sense.

Just now he guessed what was going on on the dock, and suddenly a trace of clarity passed through his heart, so he asked out loud.

Sure enough, Peng Deming's answer convinced him of his guess!

"Mr. Peng, is it inconvenient to say it explicitly?" Yang Xiaoyu turned his horse's head and asked with deep questions.

Peng Deming secretly complained in his heart, if he said this, he would offend a large group of powerful people, but if he didn't say it, this Yang Baihu in front of him would know sooner or later, and he would definitely remember today's events at that time.

The so-called county officials are not as good as county managers, Yang Xiaoyu is now his top boss, if he doesn't tell him, the future can be imagined!

After a few wandering in his heart, Peng Deming secretly decided that it was better to tell the truth of the matter, so as to save Yang Xiaoyu from taking him under the knife.

"Yang Baihu, there are many ears and eyes here, please take a step to speak!" Peng Deming took three steps forward, approached Yang Xiaoyu and said in a low voice.

Yang Xiaoyu jumped off the horse, turned around and walked seven or eight steps away, waited for Peng Deming to follow, and said, "Now let's talk about it!" ”

"That's the case, most of the cargo ships on the wharf are the industries of Hangzhou dignitaries, their cargo ships arrive at the wharf, they have their own families to carry them, and the road guide is also opened by the Hangzhou prefect, and the guards of the hundred households are of low status, and they can't afford to offend the government at all, so there is no filial piety!" Peng Deming did not tell him explicitly, but the meaning of his words was very clear.

Yang Xiaoyu guessed about the same, although the guards occupied Baoshan, they didn't have the courage to stretch out their hands, it can be seen that the thousands of households and guards above have taken the silver of the rich merchants, so that the hundreds of households have such a rich wharf, but they can't eat.

Hangzhou has developed industry, the most famous is Jiangnan silk, the silk produced is not only sold in the Ming Dynasty, even the emperor's relatives have ordered, Wanli Emperor period, the palace clothes are all Jiangnan silk.

In the city of Hangzhou, there are countless wealthy merchants, some of them have thousands of acres of fertile land, and some have millions of silver, and their business is all related to the wharf!

The rich man who has thousands of acres of fertile land, every year after the harvest, he will load the grain on the ship and transport it to all parts of the Ming Dynasty in exchange for real money!

There were guards stationed on the wharf, and the wealthy merchants were naturally reluctant to give money to these peasant soldiers, but instead gave the money to the Hangzhou prefect's yamen and the left and right guards of the capital.

Taking people's money and making it convenient for people, the officials received the silver, and naturally the guards of the hundred households were not allowed to stretch out their hands to ask the rich merchants for silver!

Over time, a treasure mountain slowly turned into an iron mountain!

Yang Xiaoyu smiled coldly, turned around and walked forward quickly, turned over and jumped on horseback!

Peng Deming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, and hurriedly followed behind, heading towards Youwan Wharf.

When the night completely falls, the moon slowly rises, the moonlight moistens the earth, and dozens of torches appear on the silent Hangzhou dock, adding a little light to the dim night.

The guards stationed on the wharf of Youwan, who carry out military orders here all the year round, have built three simple thatched huts not far from the wharf to take refuge in the rain and shade in the summer!

Along the way, in order to please Yang Xiaoyu, Peng Deming said something about the left and right flags!

Among them is the Left Banner General Year!

Yang Xiaoyu led people to the edge of the dock, and six guards patrolled back and forth with torches in hand!

Not far away, in front of the black thatched hut, there were four guards with torches, guarding the hut!

In the dark, a person with a torch in his hand walked over slowly, and scolded: "Peng Slender Monkey, why did you come so late today, the harmful master will stand for two more hours, and tomorrow you will stand for the master for two more hours, so that we will not owe each other." ”

Peng Deming blushed for a while when he heard this, this nickname is among the hundred households, and Chang Danian dares to shout like this, and the rest of the people will not be so bold!

"My lord, the person in front of you is the general banner Chang Da Nian!" Peng Deming smiled secretly, today I can seize the opportunity to teach Chang Danian a lesson, this kid in the province has no door!
