Just when Pang Gang was surprised by this "huge" amount of protection money, Kong Lin on the side saw that the military master was still silent, thinking that the other party thought that the silver was too little, and hurriedly explained: "My lord, although the amount of grass people's purchase this time is large, due to the fact that our number has been in deficit recently. The profits from this time are used to make up for the shortfall, so I can't give you much silver, but please rest assured, I will not treat you badly when it comes to the honor. ”

"Oh oh what? Filial piety, this is not needed. Because Pang Gang, who fell into a state of sluggishness for a short time when he heard that there were 10,000 taels of silver in his account at first glance, just heard Kong Lin's last words, and said reflexively, "It's not easy for you to do business, although the official also likes silver, but the gentleman loves money and takes it in the right way, and the official will not be polite to the silver that should be taken, but the official will never move the things that should not be taken." ”

After saying this, Pang Gang secretly regretted that he was still too kind, why did he refuse so quickly, it seems that his skin is still not thick enough.

"My lord, who are you escorting this cargo this time?" Kong Lin stared at Pang Gang and asked tentatively.

"Well, this matter has been taken by the official!"

Pang Gang waved his hand and responded very resolutely. What are you kidding, if you don't want such a large sum of silver, it will be damned, now Wanghai Fort is so poor that it clangs, Pang Gang has been worried about the silver for several days, if you don't want such a large amount of silver falling from the sky, wouldn't it be a fool.

"Thank you, sir!" Kong Lin, who saw Pang Gang coming down, was overjoyed, and Uncle Kui on the side finally breathed a sigh of relief, with the protection of officers and soldiers along the way, along the way, they wanted to see which deflated San who was not long-eyed dared to touch them.

Unlike Kong Lin, who was full of joy, Pang Gang was a little sad after he was happy. Yangzhou belongs to the territory of Jiangsu, and Pang Gang is the tun army of Shandong, so it is not possible to send troops to Jiangsu with such fanfare. According to the Ming Law, if the tun army does not have an order from the military department and a certificate issued by the local commander and the yamen, the arbitrary transfer of troops across provinces will be punished as the crime of treason. However, as the so-called policy has countermeasures, buddies send hundreds of people to Jiangsu in the name of buying grain, who let them have more food there, and buddies happen to be short of food.

Well, let's do it like this, I will go to the command envoy yamen early tomorrow morning, and I have to talk to Commander Song about it Pang Gang quickly thought of a countermeasure.

After thinking of countermeasures, Pang Gang asked Kong Lin gently: "Kong Shaodong, the official's Tunbao is now short of grain, and he wants to take the opportunity to go to Yangzhou to buy some grain and come back, dare to ask you what is the current grain price in Yangzhou?" ”

When Kong Lin heard Pang Gang's inquiry, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned: "Back to your lord's words, it is winter now, and the price of grain is much higher than a few days ago, and now the price of a stone of grain is about two taels of silver, and it is still rising. ”

Pang Gang was silent after hearing this, Kong Lin thought that the other party was too expensive, and explained: "My lord, now that there is a shortage of food, Yangzhou is still good here, if you go to the ground in Shaanxi, a stone of grain and four taels of silver will still be priceless." ”

"Where do you want to go, this is not what the official is worried about." Seeing Kong Lin's panicked appearance, Pang Gang couldn't help laughing and comforted: "This official is thinking, after arriving in Yangzhou, can Kong Shaodong's family help this official buy some food, so that the military households in the tunpu under the jurisdiction of this official can survive today's harsh winter." ”

"There is no problem with this, just a little food, wrapped in the grass people!" Kong Lin saw that Pang Gang was about to buy food, and hurriedly slapped his chest with a bang, swearing that as long as he returned safely, the problem of buying food would be wrapped around him.

"Alright, so be it!" Seeing that the matter was discussed, Pang Gang stood up, and Kong Lin and Uncle Kui also bowed down and said goodbye when they saw this.

After Pang Gang closed the door, he sat on the bed and was about to continue washing his feet, but he found that the water in the basin had already become cold, and he was too lazy to ask the guy to bring hot water, so he hurriedly washed his feet with cold water and went to bed.

Not to mention the two Kong Lin who went out with joy, Pang Gang who was lying on the bed couldn't fall asleep over and over, what he was thinking about now was how to make Wanghai Fort grow stronger as soon as possible, although the current city wall of Wanghai Fort has been repaired, but it is only a layer of loess, if you want to make it stronger, you have to put green bricks or boulders on the outside, these are all real money and silver in vain. Now that I'm getting mixed up to the point of being a bodyguard in order to make money, it's really depressing to say. No, the construction of Wanghai Fort must be accelerated, and the speed of absorbing the population must also be accelerated. If the cement plant and mine could not start construction as soon as possible, the prefect of Commander Song and Wei would not give Lao Tzu a good look.

As soon as he thought of Wei Tongnian, a shy but down-to-earth delicate face suddenly appeared in Pang Gang's mind, this person was the daughter of Wei Tongnian Wei Manyao that Pang Gang had seen today. It stands to reason that Pang Gang, who came from later generations, has seen not a thousand beauties in the past, but eight hundred, and those "non-mainstream" girls who always pouted and widened their eyes and pretended to be cute on the Internet in later generations, Pang Gang felt a bookish rush when he saw this Wei Manyao for the first time.

The words "scholarly family" and "cultivating and reading heirlooms" seem to have completely disappeared in later generations, and some are only "rich second generation", "official second generation", "rich and handsome", "white rich and beautiful" and other things, it was an anxious era, and it was also an era of lack of faith.

But as soon as Pang Gang saw Wei Manyao at first sight, he knew that this girl must be a girl who is beautiful and wise, and she must be a good woman with a husband and children in the future, this feeling is so strong that it lingers after it suddenly appeared in Pang Gang's mind.

"Forget it, you're just a big soldier, you're a Qiu Ba, but you're a decent lady and a daughter, so we can count on it." Pang Gang kept hinting at himself, tossing and turning for a long time before slowly falling asleep

Before dawn the next day, as soon as Mao arrived at Pang Gang, he hurriedly came to the front of the Yamen of the commander of the capital and asked to see Song Xinghe, and after a long time, he was taken to the side hall by Song Xinghe's family to wait.

After waiting for about half an hour, Song Xinghe yawned and came to the side hall, and asked with a displeased look on his face: "Pang Baihu, what important thing do you have to ask to see this official early in the morning, if you don't tell this official that you are ugly, you will be punished by this official!" ”

Seeing that the top boss was a little angry, Pang Gang hurriedly reported to Song Xinghe that with the increasing number of displaced people in Haibao, there might not be enough food, and he wanted to go to Yangzhou to buy grain, and finally said: "My lord, as the saying goes, no food is unstable, if Wanghaibao runs out of food, then those new homeless people are afraid that some people will take risks and go astray. ”

"Well, that's right." Song Xinghe thought about it and then asked with some concern, "It's good that you can serve the public wholeheartedly, but now it's winter, and it's not easy to buy grain, even the price of grain in Yangzhou and other places is still high, how can you have so much silver to buy grain?" ”

Pang Gang smiled: "Back to the adult, I met a businessman yesterday, and he was about to return to Yangzhou with a batch of goods, but he was afraid of meeting gangsters on the road, so he asked for a lowly job to escort him all the way." Since he had encountered such a good opportunity, he would be polite to him, and knocked him out of his hard-earned money of 1,000 taels of silver, so that there would be no silver for buying grain? ”

Pang Gang also kept an eye on it, and directly reduced the protection fee by ninety.

"Huh"

After hearing this, Song Xinghe helplessly pointed at Pang Gang and said: "You, you, such a good thing can be touched by you, it seems that you still have some luck, well, since this is the case, it is not easy for the official to block your financial route, and the official will open a customs clearance certificate for you later, and say that he will send you to Yangzhou to buy grain, so it's always okay, right?" ”

"Thank you, Master Chengful!" Pang Gang saw that the matter was done, and happily gave Song Xinghe a military salute.

Song Xinghe couldn't help but smile when he saw Pang Gang's happy appearance, "Okay, I won't keep you if I know you're busy, you go down!" ”

"Yes!"

Thank you for the tip of 123 children's shoes!
