Yu Qian is light and simple, as the secretary of the military department, he does not have the pomp and circumstance of hundreds of honor guards. There was only a carriage, an old servant, and ten elite guards to protect him.

Before coming to Datong, Yu Qian had not sent anyone to inform him, he just wanted to see a real Datong.

At the gate of Datong, the guards led by the guards showed the token of the military department, and they didn't even say that Yu Qian, the secretary of the military department, had arrived, but only said that the military department was coming, please report to the governor's palace.

After entering the city, Yu Qian got out of the carriage and wore a navy blue cotton robe common in the north, with a cotton vest on the outside. At this time, it was already August, and the weather in the north was hot and cold.

Inside the city gate, Yu Qian looked around, and it seemed that the entire Datong was building a large number of buildings.

But if you look closely, you are not building a house, but demolishing it.

Many of the brick walls have been torn down, and many courtyards are being demolished. The bricks were neatly stacked there, and the wood was neatly arranged.

"Is the old man going to build a new house?" Yu Qian walked up to an old man who looked quite wealthy, bowed his hand and asked, the old man hurriedly replied, and looked at Yu Qian at the same time. Then he said: "The guests must have come from afar, there are six rooms in the old house, and the wall is also a blue brick wall, which will naturally be demolished and built new, but not now." ”

"Why?" Yu Qian was a little puzzled.

"The guest doesn't know that Mo Nan has won?" The old man asked rhetorically.

"I have heard that Mo Nan has conquered the ancient surrender city." After Yu Qian responded, he waited for the following.

The old man's hands suddenly stretched out to the sky: "This is the opening of the heavens, this is the blessing of my ancestors and ancestors." After sighing, the old man continued: "There are few people in the old man's family, and he can stay in two rooms for the winter, and the green bricks and wood will be loaded and transported to Monan, and the old man has two sons and five grandchildren. One will go to the battlefield to do miscellaneous work, and the other six people will also carry these green bricks and wood over by cart to rebuild Xicheng! ”

"Is it an order from the Doge's Palace?" Yu Qian asked.

At this question, the old man suddenly lifted a long stick and shouted, "Who are you?" ”

Yu Qian was puzzled: "The old man doubted me, but the old man just talked about a lot of military aircraft events. On the contrary, it is not a leak of military information. It's really puzzling that they are doubting me at this time. ”

"This qiē is the spontaneous organization of ordinary people such as us, and yesterday the martial arts field ordered troops, and the three governors wanted to take Xicheng. You're not my big fan, but you know a lot. The old man shouted again, and soon many young men gathered around, armed with sticks.

Yu Qian really couldn't cry or laugh, this old man was afraid that he was really confused. First, he took the initiative to say that he was so nervous just by asking. I really don't know if this old man is old and confused.

The knife was unsheathed, and Yu Qian's guards blocked Yu Qian's body.

"Stand down!" After Yu Qian commanded softly, he took out his own seal letter: "Yu Qian, the official of the Ming Military Department, is not a spy. I'll wait here until someone from the Governor's Mansion comes to confirm my identity, so that you can rest assured. ”

The old man put down the long stick in his hand. After approaching Yu Qian, he looked down at the golden seal: "Really? A young man said softly, "Grandpa, I'm afraid it can't be faked." The surroundings of Datong Mansion are guarded like iron buckets. You are not allowed to enter or go out, and people of unknown origin are afraid that they will not be able to enter Datong City. ”

After speaking, the young man knelt in front of Yu Qian: "My lord, my grandfather is old, and sometimes he often remembers who he is. It is even more common to admit that a few of our brothers are mistaken, and the villain kowtows to you. If you are really an adult. It will definitely not deal with an old and confused old man, and if he commits a crime and needs to play the board, the villain will accept it for his grandfather. ”

"Read?" Yu Qian asked with a smile.

"I read it back to the words of my lord. originally wanted to take the exam this year, but the military situation was like fire. He was recruited to be a scribe in the logistics battalion. Responsible for recording and accounting. However, the villain did not talk about the things in the army at home, and the rules and regulations in the army were remembered clearly. These days, the demolition of houses is a sincere heart, just to lay down the West City and be able to hold it. ”

The young man spoke in an orderly manner, and Yu Qian nodded with satisfaction: "Get up and speak, what do the people think?" ”

"There are many changes here in Datong compared to before, first of all, the military field is released. A large area of military land was contracted by Jin merchants, and then people were picked up from the customs to farm, and every household in the small Datong City had a contracted field. With the heart of the small people, to the biggest, the Ming Dynasty's victory over the tile spur is the prestige of the country and the blessing of the people, and to the smallest. The three governors took the West City, the Ancient Surrender City, and the Middle City. Datong will no longer be the front line, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Well said, Yu Qian praised in his heart.

This is said in an orderly manner, and it also expresses the heart of an ordinary person towards the honor and disgrace of the Ming Dynasty.

"My lord, a few days ago, the army that returned from the surrender city was wounded. In a battle to win more with less, we and other people will not be able to go to the battlefield and do our best. At least let the victorious army of Xicheng have a warm house to spend the winter. ”

Yu Qian's heart is warm, the people are simple, and a point will be very rewarded.

"Lord Yu!" The first to rush over was Li Bing, and after Li Bing's confirmation, the people no longer suspected that this official was fake, and he knelt down on the street, but Yu Qian's reputation among the people was excellent.

"Get up! This official came to Datong to provide enough help to Datong as much as possible, take Xicheng, and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment! Yu Qian said, and there was cheering around.

Li Bing saw that Yu Qian was just a light car, but he didn't doubt that Yu Qian could really help.

"Lord Yu, the three governors are on campus, and they will set out in three days, and there is no room for mistakes this time. The young man is in the treasury, and he plans to give the next part of the reward last time, and at the same time organize 300 Confucian students in Datong and Xuanfu to teach the soldiers about the benevolence of the soldiers, and they are afraid of indiscriminate killing of innocents. ”

Li Bing's words are believed by Yu Qian, fortunately, Li Bing and Nianfu are here.

"With Master Li here, the official will be at ease. I can't eat and sleep for a few days. Fortunately, it's not Bai Minghe here, if he is in Xuanda's soldiers, I'm afraid he will become a robber. Yu Qian let out a long sigh.

"This ......" Li Bing's face turned red and whispered: "Actually, this time it is already a robber." ”

"How?" Yu Qian's heart tightened.

"In the first battle of the ancient surrender city, all the materials in the city, whether public or private, were all robbed back by the armies. said that it was strict, and he didn't even leave a bowl. The only thing that reassures me is that none of the soldiers hid anything in private. All of them have books of accounts, and they are all put into the public treasury. The sergeants believed that the Governor's Mansion would definitely give them a fair reward, after all, there were millions of stone rice sent to them by Shirahimu, and he believed that Shiramei Crane surpassed the military department. ”

Li Bing is telling the truth, and Yu Qian is really embarrassed.

Didn't enter the governor's yamen. Went straight to the Governor's Palace. In wartime, the governor and the governor worked together in order to improve the efficiency of handling various urgent matters.

After Yu Qian sat down, he took out five envelopes: "The white crane was sent to the capital from Guangdong." I don't know how many there are, I just know that each one is a lot of money. Hooray let me bring you five, open it and take a look. ”

Li Bing opened the letter with his name written on it.

There was only one piece of paper inside, and there were five big characters written in the middle of the paper, and there were ten thousand taels of silver. The word one originated from Emperor Wu Cao of the Tang and Zhou dynasties, just to prevent someone from changing it. There are words on both sides. On one side, it is written that the top ten merchant gangs and the Baifu in the capital can be exchanged, and on the other side, it is written that the white name of the lord of Lianzhou, Guangdong, is written and then printed.

At the top is a string of numbers, and this one is numbered with a letter zero four.

There is also a word at the bottom, which reads: The promissory note can be endorsed and transferred twice, and the endorsement requires that the original bearer be written and printed, as well as the drawee printed. In the end, the drawee can go to Guangdong to exchange for cash or equivalent materials.

"Before I left the capital. I have approached the locations of two merchant gangs, and they have confirmed that they can exchange their tickets for any supplies. Or cash. It's just that cash takes time to prepare. To put it simply, this is 100,000 taels, but it is not the treasure money of the Ming Dynasty, this piece of paper is called Hexin in the merchant gang, which is the credit of the white-named crane. ”

After Yu Qian finished speaking, he motioned for Li Bing to pick up the paper and look at the light.

In the backlight. A crane with wings spread is slowly like life.

"I'm afraid it's the handwriting of Mrs. White-named Crane, this crane is painted by a woman, but it is extremely detailed. I just don't know how to appear in this paper, and there have been people who have added a pattern made of wire to the bamboo curtain when fishing for paper, and there will be imprints. But it is very obvious, this kind of thing can only be seen under the backlight, and I think that the white crane has the means! ”

Li Bing has read a lot, but he is not too surprised.

Yu Qian smiled: "The white crane has the means, how to make the white crane will definitely not be spread." This one is 100,000 taels, and there are people who fake the treasure banknotes, this is his white name crane's credit, one can only be used twice, and the string of symbols printed on it is written in Arabic numerals and Roman characters, and ordinary people can't understand it. Once used, it will be destroyed. ”

Yu Qian didn't know how much effort Bai Minghe had put into this piece of paper.

"The other four are the same, two for the people's livelihood and two for rewarding the soldiers. Bai Minghe has already said long live, what he wants is not the three cities, but the entire Hetao, and I am afraid that Shaanxi and Gansu will also take action next. ”

"The white crane has become your boss and mine." Li Bing said with a smile.

Yu Qian shook his head: "You are in the north, you don't know the horror of the white crane. In my letter is a deed of production, a gold mine with an annual output of millions of stones. There is also a copy on the long live book case, after the New Year, the thirteen border towns in the north, Dabi, the strongest town can get an annual output of 100,000 stone gold mines. ”

"Gold mine, Daming's gold mine......, no!" Li Bing shook his head: "This gold mine is there. ”

Li Bing understood that Bai Minghe was not a crazy person, and it was impossible for him to use the gold mine of the Ming Dynasty for others casually.

"Little Luzon, the land of a thousand islands. The land area is twice that of Guangdong, and the sea area is also twice that of Guangdong. The white crane is there, I estimate that it will be ...... a year" Yu Qian let out a long sigh: "I'm afraid it's not less than a thousand stones of gold a year." Moreover, the wealth brought to the people of Fujian and Guangdong provinces is not less than 10 million taels, which is 10 million taels per province. ”

"This ......" Li Bing couldn't believe it.

"You don't have to doubt it, Banzai has already been said. By November, 100,000 pieces of fine linen will be sent to Datong and Xuanfu. I'm only afraid, I'm afraid that the sergeant only has wealth in his heart, and has no character! (To be continued......)
