Chapter 405: Retribution

What Bian Zhi and they fancy is the right to allocate supplies that only Juan has in his hands, to be precise, the right to allocate supplies only in the hands of Hubu Shangshu.

Especially when the country is in turmoil or war, this right to allocate supplies is even more important, it is related to the supply of grain and grass for the fighting army, if the grain and grass cannot be replenished in time, then how can the soldiers drag their weak bodies to win the war? In other words, the right to allocate supplies is related to the victory of the battle.

No matter how sophisticated and ingenious the counterinsurgency army is, if the grain and grass are not replenished in time, it will be useless.

Before the soldiers and horses moved, the grain and grass went first, which was the first thing in the battle. However, the number of officers and men in the army is limited, and the carrying capacity is limited, and the first grain and grass is generally 10 to 15 days.

Just like this time when Shen Huashan went to Hanoi Province to quell the turmoil, the Household Department would arrange food supplies along the way according to the schedule of the soldiers of the Recruitment Division and the wartime situation, and the specific person responsible for this matter was the Operations Department under the Household Department. The Operations Division will arrange the number, personnel, and schedule of food transportation along the way to ensure the needs of the 50,000 soldiers of the Division.

In this way, under the financing of the Operations Division, the soldiers of the Recruitment Division will bring the food from the 10th to the 15th, and the supplies from the household department will arrive one after another, and there will be no delay in between.

After the officials of the operation department have made a statistical summary, they will submit the relevant documents to the household department, and after the household department has approved these documents, they will issue relevant orders to the operation divisions along the way, and only after receiving the transfer order from the household department, the officials of the operation divisions will move.

Bian Zhi and they plotted. It is the appointment of this household department. They gave Juan a grand banquet because they wanted to know that this time they were transporting grain and grass for the Recruiting Division. Which roads will be running through which towns will be passed in between.

In other words, they wanted to know the specific way to transport military rations this time through the order of the household department, so as to prevent these grains and grass from reaching Henan and Ezhou on time.

It is precisely for this reason that Juan was shocked.

Preventing these grains and grass from arriving on time is not a delay in the military situation.

"Could it be that Lord Hu has been Jiang Chenghai's subordinates for so many years. Are you having a good time? Didn't Lord Hu want to show the evil spirit of all these years? Although Jiang Chenghai was deprived of his post, if Shen Huashan pacified Hanoi Dao, with his relationship with Jiang Chenghai. will definitely come forward to protect him, and Jiang Chenghai will definitely be difficult to reinstate. As for the time comes, how embarrassing you will be in the household department. Presumably Master Hu can think of one or two. ”

Bian Zhihe said. The reason why he dared to Juan these plans. It's well-founded. Long before he started planning, Bian Zhihe knew Juan's details clearly. Juan, when Zheng Pucun was still the head of the household department, he was already a household squire, and originally, he and Jiang Chenghai were in the same position.

It is no wonder that after Jiang Chenghai became the head of the household, he did not treat Juan well, but valued Zhang Duan, who was less qualified than Juan.

Jiang Chenghai has been the secretary of the household department for many years. There are basically no officials in the DPRK who care about the existence of Juan, the squire of the transfer department, which shows how much Jiang Chenghai suppressed him.

Now Juan has turned over and become a household secretary. Although it is only temporary, he has enough ability to deal with Jiang Chenghai, and he also has enough capital to get out of the evil spirit of these years.

The more severely suppressed the person, when he has the power to fight back, he will definitely attack the person who suppressed him without reservation. - Bian Zhihe is convinced of this.

Even if Juan was frightened and stunned at the moment, he believed that Juan would fully cooperate with his proposal, which was a mutually beneficial and harmless thing. According to his plan, he can not only sit firmly in the position of the head of the household, but also earn a lot of extra money, will anyone refuse such a good thing?

"This ...... However, if there is a problem with the delivery of military rations, the emperor will definitely hold the household department responsible. The lower official temporarily took the post of secretary of the household department, if there was such a big problem. How can you sit firmly in the position of the head of the household? Aren't you joking with your lords? ”

Juan was stunned and a little displeased. If according to their plan, his own household secretary was only used by him to make a raft, and if he was held accountable afterwards, how could he not get rid of the responsibilities of the household department, and he would not fall into the current situation of Jiang Chenghai? So what else can be done about that?

"Master Hu, you're too worried. This matter will not affect the household department. Your appointment is under the order, and the officials of the operation department strictly implement the appointment order, how can the emperor blame the household department? Besides, there is the matter of Hanoi Province involved, and the household department has lost two major officials in a row, how can the emperor still blame you? If this is the case, there is no official available in the household department, and the Imperial Historical Observatory will also come forward...... Master Gong, you said yes, right? ”

Bian Zhihe asked Gong Ruxi on the side, Gong Ruxi naturally nodded, and his expression was equally convincing.

"This ...... It really won't affect the household, and can you breathe this breath again? Juan thought for a long time, and his tone finally relaxed, and he hesitated to ask this sentence.

Hearing him say this, Bian Zhihe's eyes lit up, knowing that this matter was done.

Seeing that Juan was so good, he didn't mind throwing out another benefit, which was also for the purpose of targeting the Recruiting Division, but it could make Juan, the head of the household, make a lot of money.

"Except for the order of this grain and grass. As far as I know, the household department will also allocate a large number of cotton clothes to send to the recruitment department. This batch of cotton clothes will be sent directly from Jingzhao by the household department, isn't it? Bian Zhihe asked.

Juan nodded and acknowledged the incident. The transportation of cotton clothes is different from the escort and transportation of grain, and there is no need to go through so many turnovers in the middle, but directly through the household department, and then checked and approved by the imperial history platform, and finally escorted by the military department to Hanoi Province.

According to this procedure, the officials of these ministries worked closely together, and this batch of cotton clothes could be delivered to Hanoi Province before the winter.

Bian Zhihe suggested that he should do a little bit of tricks on this batch of cotton clothes, so that Shen Huashan's quelling of the chaos in Hanoi Province would not be so smooth when it came to the operation of grain and grass.

This is a little tricky, that is, to replace the thick cotton clothes in the household with cotton clothes full of straw. In this way, the household can save a lot of money on cotton clothing. This cost is worth hundreds of thousands of taels. This fee, of course, will fall into the pockets of Juan and other household officials.

To do this. It is necessary for the officials of the household department and the imperial history platform to work together.

After the officials of the household department and the Goshidai jointly approve it, they will affix a seal to prevent someone from secretly changing it during the escort process. The officers escorted by the Ministry of War were also afraid of taking on such responsibilities, and the officers escorted by the Ministry of War before these cotton clothes arrived at the battlefield. Definitely won't look at these padded clothes.

The household department allocated the problematic cotton clothes, and Gong Ruxi was watching from the Yushi Observatory, and the problem would definitely not be found. This is a sneak transfer. No one will know.

"But if this batch of cotton clothes is delivered to the soldiers of the Recruitment Division, they will naturally know about it. At that time, the evidence of the crime will be conclusive, and neither the household department nor the imperial platform will be able to get out of it......" Juan was thinking, what can Bian Zhi and them do. can hide so many eyes and ears from the soldiers of the Division.

Is there any trick that can't be done?

"This. Master Hu will know when the time comes. I will prepare this batch of cotton clothes for Mr. Hu, and then Mr. Hu will be able to transfer the thick cotton clothes from the household. I believe that it is winter, and the merchants of Dayong will be happy to receive such a thick cotton garment. ”

Bian Zhihe smiled and said. If there is no diamond, don't do porcelain work, since he can think of stealing cotton clothes in the army, he can naturally think of how to hide from the world. He was sure that he would recruit the soldiers. There will definitely be no difference, how could those soldiers be willing to dismantle those cotton clothes and see what was inside?

A few days later, when Juan saw the batch of cotton clothes sent by Bian Zhihe, he finally knew why Bian Zhihe was smiling so confidently at that time. This batch of cotton clothes, from the outside, is no different from the batch of thick cotton clothes in the household, and even to the touch, it is still the unique touch of cotton.

However, if you open it and look inside, you will find that there is only a thin layer of cotton where the clothes are attached, and the cotton is full of straw. Such cotton clothes, looking thick, but not at all to protect against the cold, if the cold winter comes, the soldiers wear such cotton clothes to quell the chaos, will definitely be defeated.

Gently stroking these cotton clothes, Juan remembered the letter from Qinchuan, and thought of the solemn explanation in the letter, Juan was silently reciting in his heart: Teacher, the student will not let you down.

Qinchuan under Longyou Dao is the place where Zheng Pucun, the former head of the household department, moved to after Zhishi. The letter from Qinchuan is Zheng Pucun's handwriting.

Juan is Zheng Pucun's private disciple. Although they do not have the title of master, they have the reality of master and apprentice, Juan, in private, calls Zheng Pucun a teacher, and he is extremely respectful and convinced of Zheng Pucun. No official in Jingzhao knows about this.

If Shen Huashan hadn't been for Shen Ning back then, and for Shen Ning's righteousness to Zheng Shaoyi, he wouldn't have known this. After the preparation of grain appeared, Shen Huashan of Jingzhao, the first letter sent was sent to Qinchuan and to Zheng Pucun's hands.

At that time, Shen Huashan was completely righteous because of Shen Ning, and secretly interceded for Zheng Pucun, so that Zheng Pucun could smoothly get out of the Jingzhao chaos.

Zheng Pucun was grateful for this, and when he left Jingzhao, he promised Shen Huashan that if he asked for something, he would definitely repay Shen Huashan's pleading.

The reason why Shen Huashan thought of Zheng Pucun at this time was because Zheng Pucun had an additional request: "It's almost a little bit to Juan, the servant of the household department." ”

Juan was able to serve as the head of the household department because of Zheng Pucun's support. Emperor Changtai was disgusted with Zheng Pucun because of the incident in Chunxi Palace, and naturally, he would not have much good impression of Juan.

Over the years, Jiang Chenghai's dislike of Juan was to reassure the first emperor, which can be regarded as protection in another sense. Not all of them are bad-intentioned.

It was also from this that Shen Huashan knew that Hu An was Zheng Pucun's private disciple. Originally, Shen Huashan didn't expect that there would be a day when he would contact Zheng Pucun again.

However, Jiang Chenghai was burdened by the shortage of grain, and the only one who could call the shots in the household department was Juan.

That's why Qin Chuan wrote a letter.

At that time, Shen Huashan's righteousness to Zheng Pucun was repaid by Juan.

Every drink and peck has a predetermined, this is indeed true.

Shen Huashan never imagined that the righteous act back then would bring him such great benefits. If it weren't for Juan in the middle of the dispatch, he would have collapsed in Hanoi with 50,000 soldiers of the Recruitment Division. (To be continued.) )
