Yang Chaodong brought Su Hao and the others back to Banzhou City, still let them stay at the Admiralty Inn, and instructed his subordinates to entertain them well, and not to restrict the personal freedom of Su Hao and others. After explaining, he took the paper materials collected from He Bencheng and others to Tusi Mansion and met Yang Yinglong.

"Surveyor?" Yang Yinglong flipped through the data like a book from heaven and hesitated.

"Father, the child has carefully observed, this Su Hao and his subordinates, judging from the accent of speaking, are indeed from Jiangxi, and they have never been to Sichuan. There is coal in Dongjiawan, and the child has been in Banzhou for many years, and he has never heard anyone talk about it, but this Su Hao can predict the prophet, and the Tao is unfathomable, which is not something that can be faked casually. Yang Chaodong said.

"Well, with his skills, he can indeed be called a surveyor." Yang Yinglong said.

His subordinate Lou Guo said on the side: "Chitose, according to our eyeliner in Chongqing, we reported that after Su Hao arrived in Chongqing, he had frequent contact with Chongqing Wei, and when he lived in the hotel, he also claimed that he had the title of a hundred households in the army, so we can't take this person lightly." ”

Without waiting for Yang Yinglong to say anything, Yang Chaodong replied first: "I have already asked Su Hao about this matter, and he said that this title of 100 households was brought by Jiangxi Mine Supervisor Li Long from Jiangxi Dusi for him, and even his apprentices were trained in the name of officers and soldiers, in order to make it more convenient when going out to survey public opinion." In the view of the younger generations, this explanation is also reasonable. ”

"Well, but, Chao Dong, have you thought about it, what if this Su Hao and his subordinates are really spies sent by officers and soldiers?" Yang Yinglong asked, "They walked around Banzhou like this, and explored the mountains and rivers of Banzhou, if the Ming army came to attack in the future, we would lose our geographical advantage." ”

Yang Chaodong said with a smile: "Father is too worried. This Banzhou is straight to the point, the ravines are vertical and horizontal, even if it is a native in the Miao village, they will get lost when they go out ten miles away, and a group of outsiders will be in the mountains for a few days, how much can they know? I checked what they recorded, and there were only some sketches of the place, and the rest were the kind of fairy talismans that my father was holding. This kind of sketch map has been drawn by the Ming army decades ago, and the map they took may have been provided to them by Chongqing Wei. The Ming army is a guest from afar, and if you take such a map to fight in Banzhou, isn't it equivalent to a blind man riding a blind horse? Our army has nothing to fear. ”

"That's just as well." Yang Yinglong was moved. In fact, not only in the Ming Dynasty, but even as early as the Tang, Song, and Yuan dynasties, the imperial court had sent people to conduct surveying and mapping in Banzhou, and the main passes in Banzhou were drawn and stored in the military department. These maps can indicate the main geographical situation of the state, but the effect is very limited in the specific operation.

From the perspective of the Yang father and son, even if Su Hao's department was really a scout of the Ming army, it would not be a big threat to allow them to walk around Banzhou like this. When it comes to war, the impression formed by a few scouts alone is not enough to support the manager's decision. The concept of contour maps has not yet reached the ears of the Yang father and son, so they can't imagine anyone who can have the ability to map the geography of the mountains and rivers here in detail.

In contrast, the large-scale Dan sand mine promised by Su Hao has a strong attraction to the Yang father and son. They raised soldiers privately, spent a lot of money, and were extremely financially strained. If you can really get a Dan sand mine that is much larger than Wanshan Mine, for Banzhou, it is tantamount to adding wings to the tiger, and it is completely worth taking some small risks for this.

"If we agree to cooperate with Su Hao, what does he want to do?" Yang Yinglong asked Yang Chaodong.

Yang Chaodong said: "He hopes that we can allow his subordinates to conduct public opinion surveys throughout Banzhou, and our personnel are not allowed to be present during the public survey. ”

"Well, that makes sense, they must have their own secret methods, and they don't want to show them to others." Yang Yinglong responded. This is the so-called "brain supplement", that is, voluntarily adding all kinds of reasons for the other party.

"The immortal talisman obtained by the survey will be sent to Chongqing for interpretation." Yang Chaodong continued.

"Why is that?" Yang Yinglong said, "Why can't you read it in Banzhou?" ”

Yang Chaodong said: "Su Hao said, when judging these immortal talismans, you need to have 0 pure yin women to assist you. These 0 women are now in Chongqing. ”

"Wouldn't it be enough to bring them to Banshu?" Lou Guo offered advice on the side.

Yang Chaodong showed a helpless expression on his face, and Yang Yinglong nodded: "Also, presumably this Su Hao doesn't dare to hand over all the hole cards to us." ”

"Father, King Shengming." Yang Chaodong said. In fact, he made this request to Su Hao, but was opposed by Su Hao. Yang Chaodong's understanding of Su Hao's arrangement is the same as Yang Yinglong's, that is, he thinks that Su Hao doesn't want to trap his own people in Banzhou. Think about it, if Su Hao went to Banzhou by himself, and his subordinates were doing surveys in Banzhou again, and finally 0 women who assisted in the practice were also sent over, in case the Yang father and son turned their faces and refused to admit it, wouldn't Su Hao have no way at all?

"Our eyeliner in Chongqing has also been reported, and Su Hao did bring 0 women on this trip." Lou Guo confirmed.

"The child also knew this, so he judged that Su Hao would not really be a Ming officer and soldier. How can officers and soldiers take women with them? Yang Chaodong said. Su Hao took 0 embroidery girls with the army, which is indeed a very confusing thing, and it is more reasonable to explain it as a need for practice.

"In this way, Su Hao also has to go back to Chongqing, so that he can infer the law?" Yang Yinglong asked.

Yang Chaodong said: "It's not, he said it, his senior brother Chen Guanyu will also deduce a method, so he can stay in Banzhou and leave until he finds the Dansha mine." ”

"Well, since he has such confidence, you can agree to his request." Yang Yinglong made up his mind.

"But, Lord, our various military hoards in Banzhou must not be spied on by outsiders. Su Hao wants to survey public opinion, and he won't survey our military hoards, right? Lou Guo reminded.

According to the establishment of Banzhou determined by the Ming court, Banzhou's army had only one guard, 5,600 people. Due to the need to pacify the Tusi rebellion in the surrounding areas and send troops to assist the Ming army in the border operations, the size of Banzhou's army was allowed to expand to 30,000 or 40,000 people. However, this is only the military strength claimed by Banzhou, in fact, the Yang father and son themselves trained a large number of private soldiers, the scale of which reached as much as 00,000. These private soldiers were hidden in various military hoards, which were located deep in the mountains and could not be seen by outsiders.

Su Hao sent the survey battalion into the mountains to survey, and what Yang Yinglong and his son were most worried about was that these military hoards were discovered by the survey camp, thus revealing their true strength.

Yang Chaodong said: "I have already talked to Su Hao about this matter. I didn't say anything about military hoarding, but I just said that there are some places in the mountains that are related to the Yang family's leyline, and outsiders are not allowed to trespass. Su Hao also accepted this, saying that as long as they were not allowed to go to a place, they would take a detour and never commit a taboo. ”

"Well, if that's the case, then let his people do the survey. Whether you can find the Dansha mine or not, it is related to the rise and fall of my Banzhou, Chaodong, you have to appease Su Hao and let him do his best. Yang Yinglong said.

"The child is in order." Yang Chaodong responded.

With Yang Yinglong's approval, the public opinion survey operation that was forced to be interrupted began again. This time, Su Hao's survey camp no longer needs to be sneaky, but has a legal identity, and can appear in front of everyone with a tripod in front of everyone. The Yamen of Banzhou's subordinate Huang Ping'an Pacification Division, Caotang Pacification Division, Banzhou Governor's Lawsuit, and Yu Qing's Governor's Lawsuit all received orders from the Xuanwei Division, asking them to give the green light to all actions in the survey camp. This change made Chen Dao, who was sitting in Chongqing, also dumbfounded.

"Old Chen Dao, what conditions did your Su Tianshi promise Yang Yinglong to make Yang Yinglong so attentive to him?" Chen Dao asked Chen Guanyu.

Chen Guanyu pretended to recite a Taoist number, and then said: "Master Chen doesn't know anything, my young master promised to find a large Dan sand mine for Yang Yinglong, and it was Yang Yinglong who moved his heart. ”

"Your young master...... I'm bah, Chen Laodao, you are still serious! Chen Dao smiled, "I mean, Su Hao, this kid, can he really find a Dan sand mine?" ”

Chen Guanyu also smiled and said: "Let Master Chen laugh, in fact, in Guanyu's heart, he really regards Su Baihu as a young master, his ability to survey public opinion, if he wants to open a mountain and establish a faction, who dares to doubt it?" ”

"Stop bragging, who knows if what he said is true or not." Chen Dao reprimanded.

Chen Guanyu said: "In the view of poverty, my master is prepared, and there will be no mistakes." If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Poor Dao wouldn't believe that he would be able to find the Dongjiawan Coal Mine with a casual finger. ”

"That's a wicked thing." Chen Dao was also convinced. How did he know that Su Hao relied on the memories from later generations, that Dongjiawan Coal Mine was where Su Hao had been, and he would definitely not be wrong about the general location. Knowing that there is a mine underground, he went to the scene to observe the trend of the rock formation, and pointed out that the mine position is not a matter of nine out of ten?

"At this rate, how long will it take to complete the mapping of the entire Banshu?" Chen Dao asked again.

"I have to ask Mr. Hao about this." Chen Guanyu said that he had not learned surveying and mapping from Su Hao, so he was not familiar with this business.

"In the opinion of my subordinates, it will be completed in about another month." Hao Tong reported to Chen Dao.

"Well, that's good." Chen Dao said happily, "With this set of maps, if Yang Yinglong dares to cause an incident, we can clean him up at any time." ”

"But, Chief Chen, when the surveying and mapping is completed, how can Su Baihu get out safely?" Hao Tong asked, "Since Su Baihu agreed to find a Dan sand mine for Yang Yinglong, he must be confident." But once the Dansha mine is handed over to Yang Yinglong, Yang Yinglong will inevitably turn his face and deny people, and at that time, if Su Baihu wants to get out, he is afraid that it will be a little troublesome, and it is better for Chen to prepare early. ”

Chen Dao nodded and said, "This is reasonable, wait for Chen to think of a foolproof plan." (To be continued.) Please search, the novel is better and faster!)
