After Zhang Daniu led the team of the 11th Company to pretend to be bandits and finish the matter, they scattered into several roads and went around the county seat of Andong. Hua Liangfu personally arranged for people to respond, and all the "Yan" soil was transferred to the Yamen of the capital without knowing it. Zhang Daniu didn't stop after finishing this, and went home directly, and returned to Wharf Town again in the early morning of the next day.

To say that Zhang Renjie's most trusted troops now, in addition to the members of the special combat team who were personally selected, even those soldiers near Zhangjiazhuang. And the three companies led by Zhang Daniu are basically trained by the young men in Zhangjiazhuang and the Zhuangzi closest to Zhangjiazhuang.

The veteran team has been under Zhang Renjie for more than half a year now, and there is absolutely no problem in terms of loyalty. The new army has also been training for more than three months now, and the appearance of a soldier is there, but after all, he has not experienced real battles, and he is not a soldier. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Renjie is also ready to pull out the whole team of the Renzi Battalion to practice, otherwise they will always be kept in the greenhouse, and the small sapling will never grow into a big tree.

"There's a lot of dissipation in Andong City these days! The petty thieves are gone. "It's rare for Zhang Renzhuo to come shopping, and the last time I went to the street, I could see one or two ruffians from time to time, and now I am much closer on the street.

Hua Liangfu smiled: "This is not the credit of adults." Since the last time the "Smoke" Hall of the Jin Family University was burned, we have sent three squads of soldiers to take turns to patrol the streets every day, and those ruffians and hooligans have all been beaten up and thrown into the county government prison of Mu County Order. Even after being released, no one dared to wander the streets anymore. ”

"What do I say, these people must be unclean! It is the nature of this kind of person to bully the soft and fear the hard, if you subdue them and beat them to be afraid, they will automatically be honest. Zhang Renjie said as he stepped into the Yamen of the Dusi. However, after discussing it, the Tang family and the Xia family both refused to ask us to escort the caravan, which was beyond my expectations. Tell me, what can it be? ”

"My subordinates think that the Tang family and the Xia family don't want to have too much to do with us, and they should be afraid that we want a high number of people. There is also a possibility that their trade routes and the merchants they have dealings with do not want to be known to us, so as to lead to leakage? ”

"Actually, I also have a consideration, you see that the business of the big "Smoke" restaurant here in Anton is still thriving, and it has been operating normally these days, what does this mean? It shows that they are no longer making a big deal of transporting "tobacco" soil now, but transporting small shares and small shares, which is safer. Even if we send someone to follow us, it's useless, and we don't know who to follow! They must have been in a relatively secret place when they approached, and if they hadn't followed in the name of guards, I was afraid that even the members of the special combat team would have been difficult to find out. Zhang Renjie returned to the lobby and sat down. You also sit, walking for so long, more tired than training! ”

"Master Xie." Hua Liangsuke sat down on his left hand. "My lord, you were planning to use this batch of "tobacco" soil to fish out big "tobacco" local dealers, but we don't have the channels for this. Could it be that adults still want to make up their minds on the Tang family or the Xia family? ”

"Of course. I've seriously thought about it, just if we make a fuss like this, if you burn down one family, people will continue to fix it. Or simply like the Jin family, we burned it down, and simply set up an inn on the side to continue to operate. Damn, I'm so angry! ”

"What do you mean, my lord, that you want to use this action to get a salary?" Hua Liangfu asked, slanting his eyebrows.

Zhang Renjie took a sip of hot tea: "Of course, hey, Brother Zuochen, I remember that I asked you to help me formulate a set of action plans, are you prepared?" ”

"Yes, but I'm afraid that adults won't be ruthless." Hua Liangfu showed a sneer.

"Say! Whether you use it or not is my business, you just have to talk about the plan. ”

"Adults have always said that punishing evil is promoting good, so we still pretend to be outsiders and secretly spread the word to the Tang family and the Xia family, saying that we want to sell a batch of "Yan" soil at a low price. The batch of goods in our hands is worth 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver at the current market price. We can claim to have 200,000 goods, and the two of them will definitely send important people to contact them, and pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. At that time, he suddenly kidnapped the people in charge of the two families to extort money, of course, whether to kill or magnify the person's own decision. In addition, these things are not in the territory of Andong, so as not to make others suspicious. ”

"Hahaha, Brother Zuochen, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, you are also ruthless enough! Yes, the amount is small, non-gentleman, non-toxic and not husband! These people are not sorry to die, of course, they are killed. You should write me a plan so that I can understand it. However, I also have an idea that you should take into account as well! Zhang Renjie held up a finger and said.

"Your Excellency, please speak."

"That old hammer-headed scourge in Funing is indeed a scourge, I have to get rid of it, this time I transferred the team out, and as soon as I came, I would hide it from people, and I wouldn't suspect us when I dealt with the Tang family and the Xia family. In addition, it is to eradicate the bandits of the old hammer head and return the people to a sunny day. The most important thing is to allow us new troops to be trained, otherwise it will not be of much use no matter how long the training is. ”

"According to your thoughts, my lord, are you still going to wipe out all these bandits in Huai'an Mansion? Oh, I think you'd better think about it. These bandits have been entrenched all these years again, the Caoyun Governor's Mansion has closed its eyes, and the Huaiyang Dao General Army has not taken care of it, is there something in this? "Hua Liangfu's consideration is not so simple.

Zhang Renjie raised his eyes and looked at him: "You mean, the government raises bandits for self-respect?" Collusion between officials and bandits? No, when I cleaned up the Sea Dragon King, I didn't find anything related to the government in the Sea Dragon King's lair?! ”

"I can't say for sure, as far as we know these days, except for the Meng Laohu in Taoyuan, who is indeed a righteous bandit and did not burn, kill, loot and harm the people, the others are not good things. For example, this old hammer head, it is said that he is in his sixties, and he is an old spirit and an old spirit, can he not know that it is not beneficial to go against the government? ”

"That's right, but no matter which big guy he has a connection with, this official has also suppressed the bandits this time. Even the Caoyun Governor's Mansion can't care about the garrison in my place to clear out the bandits. Hey, let's just tell you. We are lavish spenders, and the silver can't stand the toss. It is true that we have gained a lot of money by destroying the Sea Dragon King before, but we can't sit back and eat empty. As I told you before, I only need to be stable here for more than half a year, and there are big things to do next, so the amount of silver I need is definitely not a small amount, the more the better. ”

"Half a year?" Hua Liangfu couldn't keep up, why did he become an official who only worked for less than a year?

"You'll understand this in a few months, but now in addition to doing good deeds for your hometown, it's just a matter of thinking about getting money. The fastest and best way to get money is to grab it, who is it? The target, of course, is these big "cigarette" dealers and those bandits who do all kinds of evil! I don't have a psychological burden to rob them, and the money comes quickly, and I can get a good reputation! Why not kill three birds with one stone?! Zhang Renjie said with a smile on his face

Qingjiangpu actually includes Qinghe County, which plays a pivotal role in the canal traffic and is known as "the southern ship and the northern horse, the thoroughfare of nine provinces", and the prosperity of this place is not inferior to the Jiangnan region. In this place, it is not Lu Xiangjiu, the commander of Qinghe County, who is really in charge, there are large and small yamen at all levels on his head, and the one that is pressed on the top is the Huaiyang Daotai Yamen. As for the Caoyun Governor's Mansion and the Huaiyang Dao Commander's Mansion, although they are also set up in Huai'an Prefecture, they are not in Qinghe County, but in Shanyang County on the border.

Since the Yellow River took over the Huai River 300 years ago, the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal north of Huai'an Province is not only slow and difficult, but also very dangerous. With Huai'an as the boundary, the north-south transportation capacity of the Grand Canal is very different.

The Qing court stipulated that the canal north of Qingjiangpu only allowed Cao transport ships to pass Guò, so a large number of passengers had to change the mode of transportation of "south ship and north horse" here, so in addition to the grain boat, tribute boat and river patrol boat, the general passengers from south to north, all went to the stone wharf to land in a boat, crossed the Yellow River to Wangjiaying to change to a car and horse, and set foot on Tongjing Avenue; From north to south, it is to Wangjiaying to abandon the carriage and horses, and to board the boat and sail under the Qingjiang gate.

Until now, even if the canal transport is no longer the mainstream, but this rule has not changed, after the continuous supply ships in the south of the Yangtze River arrived in Huai'an Mansion, the vast majority of them could not continue to go north, only changed to carriage and horse land transportation, a large number of northerners arrived in Huai'an by carriage and horse, and after resting, they traveled south by boat. Because of this, the stone wharf of Qingjiangpu was once known as the "thoroughfare of nine provinces" and was famous throughout the country.

Because Qingjiangpu is "the most north-south place", "boats and vehicles go around the city day and night", and a large number of people and goods have to pass through this "one stop", "one meal", and "one turnover". "As soon as the ship docks, thousands of cars and thousands of loads", so the richness of goods, the development of warehousing, the gathering of all kinds of people, and the prosperity of the market in Qinghe County, the most marginal Qinghe County, are self-explanatory.

The mobility of going from south to north is very great, which is a good thing for Zhang Renjie, and the best place to catch the two big fish of the Tang family and the Xia family is here.
