"That day Chi, don't you bring any money, you can make an IOU if you don't bring money, and the official can lend you two hundred taels of silver first!" Meng Yan said with a teasing smile.

"Two hundred taels, why is it so expensive?" These wolf guards who came to Datong with the red day can understand some Chinese.

Two hundred taels of silver!

Two taels of silver per person, enough for them to eat for ten days and a half months.

"Master Meng, you are blackmailing!"

"Blackmail, when did the official blackmail you, by the way, in order to show the sincerity of the official, the official can not pay interest on this silver!" Meng Yan said with a big belly.

"You ......"

"Ark, give the money!" That day, his face was black, and he ordered his subordinates to pay, did he really ask him to give Meng Yan an IOU?

It's even more humiliating!

"General, they are clearly bullying us, how much do they give for dinner, and how much should we give?" Ake said angrily.

"Then you go and ask and see how much they give?" Equator that day.

"I ......" Ake was dumbfounded, how could he ask, doesn't it seem that they are petty, and they can't even afford to pay for food, so that these Ming people look down on them?

"We don't have any silver, this bag of golden sands is enough to pay for this meal!"

A heavy small bag was handed over, and when I opened it, it was actually a small bag of golden sand, which weighed about thirty or forty taels.

According to the market gold price, one tael of gold can be exchanged for at least six taels to eight taels of silver, and few people exchange gold for silver to use.

The official ratio to huàn is one to five, which means that one tael of gold can be exchanged for five taels of silver.

If this bag of golden sands is to be exchanged for huàn, the value is slightly lower, but two hundred taels of silver is still worth it.

At this time, silver was very valuable, silver was a precious currency, and ordinary people would not use it for daily transactions.

"Okay. The official accepted it for Wang Shouyu. Meng Yan smiled and put away the golden sand bag.

"Wang Shouyu, this is four hundred taels of silver!" Guo Xiaochao walked over, handed two silver ingots of fifty taels to Wang Shouyu, and handed him three silver tickets of one hundred taels.

"Great, sir. This can't be helped, this can't be ......" Wang Shouyu was about to cry excitedly, in his life, he had never seen such a good official, not to mention the money for dinner, the people were still easy-going, none of them were called and drunk, and they took the initiative to help do things.

"We're here to make a lot of trouble for you. That's as it should be. "Meng Yan really wants to help these people.

Of course, I also want to be disgusted with that day.

If you don't come back, you eat white food, how can there be such a good thing? This time, it's just spit out a little interest, and sooner or later you'll even spit out the principal with interest!

Don't think that we are easy to bully, if this is between friends, eat and drink, eat and lose something, Lao Tzu will admit it.

Why do you have good food and drink? In the end, you still fucking burn, kill and rob my border people? What do I owe you?

"Let's go!" The day when he was angry, he couldn't eat it anymore. With his own men, the wolf guards left the mountain fort and took the first step.

"Wang Shouyu, your high mountain fort is located at the key point outside the mouth, and it should respond to the town, and this official has just seen it. Some places seem to be in disrepair, and the defense power will inevitably decline, so this official building yì ......"

Meng Yan deliberately left that day, but in fact, there was a purpose. I just want to take this opportunity to give some suggestions on the expansion of the mountain fort.

Dong Baihu is still a little wary of Meng Yan, after all, Meng Yan is just a messenger who investigates the case, and it is an ultra vires act to interfere in border defense like this.

But I can't find that people are doing something wrong, they just build yì, they don't say that they give orders, and the construction opinions put forward by people are very pertinent and useful, and have strong practical significance.

According to Meng Yan's plan, the Gaoshan Fort will be renovated and expanded, and the combat and defense capabilities of the Gaoshan Fort will be at least doubled.

This shows that this young Chincha-sama is a man who knows the soldiers, and he is not pointing fingers indiscriminately.

As far as he knew, his own marshal had the idea of rebuilding the mountain fort, and he also gave the court a setback, but all the mud cows entered the sea and there was no movement.

To put it bluntly, it's a matter of money, and besides, if you are given a mountain fort, other forts will follow, who is more important than whom?

"Master Dong, you are at the border gate, if you rebuild it like this, how much silver will you need?" Meng Yan asked.

"I made a rough estimate under the mark, if I don't count the labor, how can I get six hundred and seven hundred taels of silver!" Dong Baihu said solemnly.

"Little Super Brother!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Give the bag of golden gold just now to Wang Shouyu." Meng Yan said, "Dong Baihu, go back and tell you Xu Shuai, the reconstruction of Gaoshan Fort is urgent, please supervise him!" ”

"Yes, Master Meng!" Dong Baihu hesitated for a moment, but still responded, people are Qincha, even if they exceed their power a little, they can't control it.

What's more, this matter is beneficial to Zuo Wei and Gaoshan Fort, and it has no interest for Meng Yan himself.

This Qincha surnamed Meng came to Datong to be a wealth boy?

"Farewell, Wang Shouyu, I hope that the next time this official comes, this mountain fort will have a big change."

"Don't worry, my lord, definitely, definitely!" The king guarded the royal vivi promise.

Gaoshan Fort is about one hundred and twenty miles away from Datong Town, and it can be felt in an hour, but Meng Yan and his party are undoubtedly not suitable for such a high-speed march.

However, there is no problem in getting to Datong before sunset.

"Lord Meng, there is Datong City in front!"

Meng Yan got out of the carriage, stood on the carriage, looked into the distance, and saw an extremely magnificent city not far ahead, with towering towers.

"It's finally here."

"Yes, I've been walking for half a month, and I've finally arrived at my destination." Guo Xiaochao also laughed comfortably.

"Let's go, let's go into the city, we need to have a good rest tonight!"

"My lord, where is the arrangement of the Qin Mission?" Ma Weiran asked a very practical question.

Although Meng Yan said that he was a messenger, he couldn't return to Beijing casually without finishing his work, or without the emperor's edict.

So, at least there must be a yamen or station, otherwise where do so many people live?

"Let's talk about the advanced city, isn't there a place for us to live in this big Datong City?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"That's right. The officials of Datong won't let you sleep on the street, right? ”

"That's not for sure, these people don't necessarily welcome this official!" Meng Yan smiled meaningfully.

"My lord, there seem to be a lot of people in front of you, and it looks like you're here to greet you!" Jiang Feng reported.

"Well, the rules of officialdom, I'm here. As usual, it is time to go out of the city to greet you. Meng Yan said with a smile.

"In front of it, it's the car of Lord Meng Yan, the inspector of Qincha Datong!"

"It's my lord, dare to ask your Excellency!" Guo Xiaochao immediately stepped forward and met with the team that came out of the city.

"Shanxi Xingdu Sidu Governor informs Fang Zheng!"

"Under Guo Xiaochao, the counselor under the command of the patrol envoy, see Lord Fang!" Guo Xiaochao dismounted and saluted.

"Counselor Guo is exempt!" Fang Zheng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and said.

"Deputy Marshal, this surname Meng's frame is inevitably too big, you personally come out to greet you. He actually hid in the carriage and didn't even show his face? ”

"Lord Fang doesn't know, my family was intercepted and killed by gangsters on the way here, and he was seriously injured, so he couldn't get out of the car to pay respects!" Guo Xiaochao hurriedly explained.

Fang Zheng nodded, about Meng Yan's injury, he heard some news, since he was injured. It's the imperial court's chaplain again, and this doesn't show up. That makes sense, too.

"What kind of injury, I think it's just deliberately taking a shelf, and I don't take our side generals in my eyes at all!" The general who spoke seemed to have a big opinion of Meng Yan.

"Pan Chun, presumptuous, I know that Lord Meng was injured, you are talking nonsense!" Fang Zheng scolded.

"Humph!" The general named Pan Chun snorted. One's lips are sealed.

Meng Yan wanted to use his injury as an excuse to avoid these red tape that ushered in and sent him, but listening to the words, it seemed that he had been hated by these people before he arrived in Datong. There really no reason for this, he had to come out.

"Xiaoyue, help me go out to meet my colleagues in Datong!"

"Husband?"

"Do as I say!" Meng Yan said in a non-relenting tone.

The governor also knows that this is a first-class military attaché, and in a place like Datong, where the military and government are grasped, the power is not small.

Meng Yan is just a fourth-grade inspector, even if he stares at the title of Wang Mingqincha, compared to others, it is still too far behind.

In the army, especially in the place of seniority, Meng Yan was born in Jinyiwei, so he naturally belongs to the army, whether it is identity or seniority, he should respond in person.

"Lord Fang!"

"I've heard about Lord Meng's young heroes for a long time, and when I saw it today, it was really so!" Fang Zheng walked up.

Whether he was injured or not, how could Fang Zheng, who had been in the battle formation for a long time, not be able to see that Meng Yan was indeed injured.

Presumably, the news he received was true, and there were people in the court who wanted his life, and it was no secret who this person was.

But what if you know it, you can't catch the evidence, it's all in vain.

What's more, that person has a deep foundation in Datong, and even the chief soldier has to taboo three points, and he can't do it.

"Lord Fang has won the award, and the officials dare not be ashamed." Meng Yan said busily.

"Lord Meng is humble, this official heard that Lord Meng was attacked by gangsters on the way to Datong, he was very shocked, there are still people in my Datong who dare to attack the minister, it is simply mad!" Fang Zheng said angrily.

"Thank you Lord Fang for your concern, this can be regarded as a thrill."

"And the danger, you're all injured?"

"This little injury is nothing, doesn't it mean that a man with a scar on his body is the last charm?" Meng Yan said with a smile.

"It's hard Lord Meng to laugh out, it's a man!" Fang Zheng took a step forward and helped Meng Yan to come forward, "Come, this official will introduce you to you, this is the commander of the Datong avant-garde is Master Pan Chunpan!" ”

is the guy who has always had opinions about Meng Yan, and he is actually a commander, a military attache of the third grade, one level higher than Meng Yan, and the people are not convinced.

"All command the horses!"

"Participate in politics, Lord Shen Gushen!"

"Hello Lord Shen!"

"This is Lord Huo Xuanhuo, the same governor of Datong Mansion!" After introducing the generals, it was the turn of the civil officials in Datong City.

Tongzhi, why didn't the prefect come? Meng Yan hurriedly bowed: "I've seen Master Huo!" ”

"The prefect is sick and bedridden, and he sent Huo to greet Lord Qincha!" Huo Xuan seemed to sense what Meng Yan was thinking, and explained.

Meng Yan nodded, people are sick, they can't have to come, right? (To be continued......) R1292
