"I thought so at the time," Wang Yuzhang said with a smile, "but when I asked later, people have never left Pingjing since they entered Beijing at the age of five or six." ”

"How can you see something wrong at a glance?"

"Yes," Wang Yuzhang patted his thigh, "I also wondered, but I didn't know him well at that time, so I didn't want to ask too much." Later, Bai Siyao handed over the monthly reconciliation work to this Master Wei, and after coming and going, I realized that he had always been very interested in the northern border and the ice fields north of the northern border.

"It just so happens that people have the convenience of doing things in Beizhen Fusi, so they can often go close to the water to see some new pictures that can't be seen outside."

Mrs. Wang suddenly realized, "I see, this is really convenient." ”

"That's not all," Wang Yuzhang smiled, "In fact, in the final analysis, the most annoying thing about going north from Pingjing is not the gold thief, but the robbers who block the road, but the current situation is different from when Sheng Yuanye was here."

"Of course the robbers can be suppressed, but the key is that the current situation is turbulent, after suppressing this batch, I don't know when the next batch will rise again, and it is unknown whether the gold thieves will be killed in the future, so even if the money is paid to suppress the bandits, the cleaned business road may not be able to be saved.

"So these main roads are not very likely to be held for a long time from the beginning." Wang Yuzhang's expression became a little serious, "But there is still a way to temporarily ensure the smooth flow of trade routes." ”

"What?"

"Borrow the east wind." Wang Yuzhang tapped his fingers on the table, "Take advantage of the east wind of the army to transport grain to the north." They have heavy firearms in their hands, and their advantage is basically crushing, and as long as there are troops on the official road, these roving robbers will temporarily avoid the edge. ”

"I've heard of this," Madame Wang nodded, "There were many storytellers outside singing about Emperor Shengming's order, and when he encountered bandits on the road, he regarded them as an opportunity to train his march—and if he met them, he would be exterminated wherever he met." Grain shipments can be appropriately overdue, and those grains were not originally used for emergency relief anyway. ”

"Yes." Wang Yuzhang nodded, "So, as long as you follow the grain transportation team, you can take care of it...... However, it is impossible for the imperial court to allow this practice. ”

Madame Wang was slightly surprised, "...... Doesn't the imperial court allow it? ”

"Of course it's not allowed," Wang Yuzhang said softly, "If everyone dares to borrow like this, wouldn't the grain delivery team become a dart master who doesn't want money, and it is a small matter to be rubbed with oil and water for no reason, but if every time the grain is released, it will attract a ball of tails, and finally delay the business, then it will be——"

"But isn't our 'Title Dao' just that...... Do you do this? ”

Wang Yuzhang laughed twice, "Madame knows why 'Title Dao' is called 'Title Dao'?" ”

"Bundle the horse," said Madame Wang softly, "wrap the cloth in the horse's hooves, and stuff it in the horse's mouth...... So that the horses run without sound. ”

"Then why is there no sound?"

"......," Mrs. Wang reacted for a long time, "not to avoid the bandits, but to keep the imperial court's food release team from being aware?" ”

Wang Yuzhang smiled and did not answer.

"It's ...... That's a lot of boldness. ”

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, but she didn't have much worry on her face, but instead added a curious smile, "The liberation of grain can be regarded as a secret of the imperial court, where did the lord get the news of those routes and departures?" Was it also the Bai Si Yao in the palace who helped inquire? ”

Wang Yuzhang laughed, "That Bai Ling ghost goblin, so she won't drag herself into the water, she also used this to knock my bamboo pole, asking for a share of shares, and blackmailing me of the caravan's profit of three percent per trip...... Otherwise, how could Wei Shishi come to my door every month to reconcile accounts with me - the monthly interest on their silver in the past was normally settled every six months. ”

Mrs. Wang finally understood, she covered her mouth and smiled, "This idea, was this idea from Master Wei?" ”

Wang Yuzhang nodded, he touched his belly, which was about the same size as his wife, with some regret, "After more than a year of contact, I think this Lord Wei is not only quick and wise, but also quite thoughtful in many business and ticket matters."

"I've been wondering if it's possible to invite this Buddha to my temple to do things."

Mrs. Wang slapped her husband and said, "Wake up...... That's a bad deal, people are now coming to the house to reconcile the accounts, that's to do things for Bai Siyao, barely a job, we are a merchant...... There is no room for this big Buddha at home. ”

Wang Yuzhang frowned noncommittally - there was no need for his wife to mention this matter at all, he had already thought of it a long time ago.

"Hey, let's take a look, anyway, I think it's still possible," Wang Yuzhang, "After all, now he is the secret guard of Bai Siyao, not as tightly restrained as the other superiors in the brocade guard." And I have a feeling......"

"What?"

Wang Yuzhang smiled, but his expression was also a little uncertain, "I think, Bai Ling seems to have intentionally asked him to come over." ”

……

In Wang Yuzhang's ticket number, Bai Ling has opened a total of three accounts over the years.

One is the Tianzi account opened by Bai Ling in his own name three years ago under the supervision of Jinyiwei, which contained two hundred and thirty taels of silver and one hundred and forty taels of gold.

However, in the second year of Shengming, when Bai Yi drove out with him, the demure medicine suddenly became addicted to gambling, and took advantage of his father to go up the mountain to collect medicine, and soaked in the gambling house for three whole days, losing this huge amount of money to only 20 taels of silver......

When Bai Shijun came back, he ran to the gambling house to look for his daughter in disbelief - only to find out that the neighbors were telling him that it was true, and Bai Ling's eyes lit up with gambling, and he was still rolling the dice on the table.

Bai Shijun cried on the spot, so the girl suddenly woke up, and followed her father home with the only remaining twenty taels of silver, and did not gamble again.

Relying on Zheng Mi's secret care, this matter did not spread much in the capital - but this could not be hidden from the eyes of several other teenagers, Zeng Jiuyan was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths after hearing this, and went directly to the courtyard of Bai's house to ask Bai Ling about it.

However, during that time, Bai Ling was about to be confined by Bai Shijun at home, and lived a hard life every day.

Several people chatted for a while across the low wall of the courtyard, Bai Ling really had a correct attitude of admitting his mistake and standing up when he was beaten, this inexplicable enlightenment made Zeng Jiuyan, Zhang Jingzhen and Li Fengyu laugh back and forth.

Zeng Jiuyan wrote this incident as a joke when he went home and sent it to Bai Yi in the Northland.

As a result, Bai Ling's gamble reached the ears of Bai Yi and Chen Yicong from a distance of thousands of miles - both of them were full of question marks, but when they returned to the capital, Bai Ling was still the same as before, and he couldn't see the slightest problem.

This made Chen Yicong a little unsure how to speak, so he simply didn't ask.

When Bai Yi returned home and closed the door to ask Bai Ling why he ran to gamble, Bai Ling whispered to him that after that gamble, she had opened two secret accounts in Yuzhang's ticket number through Wang Yuzhang himself.

All the money exported from the gambling house has been quietly transferred to these two dark accounts.
