Bai Yutang washed his face, changed his clothes, and was a charming and beautiful son, sat on the chair and shook the folding fan, and put his sleeves on the table to take a look.

His original clothes were scratched, and at this time the pulp was washed and neatly folded on the bed next to him, and the style he was wearing was his favorite style, the material was excellent, the workmanship was fine, and even all kinds of accessories were properly prepared.

Bai Yutang blinked: "I always feel that Fifth Master, my performance today is really not good, and I am not imposing...... I said Zhanzhao, who is that? You call her the county lord, which county lord of the imperial court is you? ”

Zhan Zhao: "Fang Ruohua, the lord of Changping County. ”

Bai Yutang: !?

"It's the county lord who will be smaller!"

Bai Yutang covered his forehead and sighed: "I have heard of the name for a long time!" ”

It is indeed a long-term name, his eldest brother Lu Fang has always been arrogant, on weekdays, fellow people in the rivers and lakes come to visit, ask for something, or borrow some money nervously, the eldest brother has always done his best, generous, and generous.

But since six years ago, the county lord of Changping sent someone to come over to see his eldest brother, and the eldest brother let the trap island and the northwest side cooperate to do business, within a few months, his eldest brother mentioned the county lord, sometimes angry, sometimes admired, one day at a time, and then, his old man is iron abacus in hand, and since then he has not let go for a moment, and all kinds of account books are read all day long, it is like being brainwashed, where is still Uncle Lu, who is fighting for righteousness and squandering money.

Bai Yutang sighed again.

When he returned to Sky Island two months ago, he still heard his eldest brother nagging about what kind of charity bazaar he wanted to hold and raise money and food, but he didn't know what to do.

After changing their clothes and packing up, a maid outside invited them to the antechamber to discuss matters. When Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang walked to the front hall, they saw that there were already foot-long booklets stacked in front of Fang Ruohua, and there were also a few large boxes in the open space next to them.

A baby-faced young man knelt in front of the box, carefully sorted out the information inside, and when he looked up and saw Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, he got up and saluted: "I've seen Lord Zhan, Bai Daxia." ”

Zhan Zhao looked at him a little familiar.

Bai Yutang frowned and stared at his eyebrows, and he actually felt a little familiar, but he didn't remember where he had seen it.

It was a few attendants standing behind the babyface, and they were helping to shout among the victims just now.

The two of them have deep internal strength and good eyesight, and they are the best at recognizing people's faces, and these attendants did not wear makeup, so they recognized them at a glance.

Bai Yutang smiled, feeling that the woman in front of him was quite thoughtful.

Fang Ruohua got up to greet him, pointed to the baby's face and said, "This is Fang Yan, the deputy commander of the infantry army." ”

"Lord Fang is polite."

After seeing the ceremony, the guest sat down, Fang Yan said: "Some time ago, I passed the county lord's order to go, and strictly ordered the brothers of the Yanyu battalion in various places to track down the whereabouts of the missing Dart Yin, and the Lunatic Sect and friends on the rivers and lakes also helped to search, and it is currently tracked to the area of Xiangzhou on Jingxi Road. ”

Fang Yan paused: "Today Lao Tie came with news, saying that his children found out that there have been a large number of money, grain, cloth, silk and iron trading in Xiangzhou in recent years, and the buyers are mysterious, and the whereabouts of the goods are unknown. ”

Zhanzhao's spirit tensed instantly, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind for a while, but Fang Ruohua still looked at the account books on the table unhurriedly.

The baby-faced young man also continued unhurriedly: "Lao Tie immediately sent someone to track him down to the Xiangzhou Thorn Mansion, and his subordinates found out that in the past few years, there have been ten unsightly black blacksmiths in the vicinity who have been secretly recruited away, and they are still missing, and even their families have been taken away. The people who recruited were the people of the Assassin's Mansion. ”

Zhanzhao's head hurt a little, and he raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows.

The young man continued: "According to the traces, the people of Yan Yuying and Lao Tie are sure that the 400,000 taels of silver, as well as the silver lost here in Chenzhou, are a total of 870,000 taels, and the place where they went was the same place, which was the Xiangzhou Thorn Mansion. ”

"According to the comprehensive judgment, more than ninety percent of the Xiangzhou Assassin Shi himself is supporting a private army of at least more than 5,000 people, and it is an elite, and the imperial court does not know about it. As for whether he was his own private soldier or working for someone else, it remains to be traced. ”

Zhan Zhao propped up the table in front of him with his hand, and had already thought that this news would be delivered, and His Majesty was probably not most anxious about the famine in Chenzhou.

Fang Ruohua just said lightly: "What to check, that's a matter for the imperial court, if you are sure that the silver is ours, bring it back to me first." ”

"Yes."

Zhanzhao: "......" He didn't want to know at all how the county lord in front of him planned to get the silver back.

Bai Yutang couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "You, the county lord, really vote for my temper. ”

Fang Ruohua also smiled: "Hey, I don't care about anything else, but I pledged Xiao Pang out, and I always have to redeem it, I made such a fuss just now, and Chen Zhou's official face said that he already knew my identity and origin, but if he wanted to leave Pang Yu alone, I am afraid it will not work." ”

Fang Yan took out an iron abacus from behind his back, took a stack of papers and handed it to Fang Ruohua, the two of them didn't care about Zhanzhao and Bai Yutang, one of them occupied a table and began to take inventory.

Hu Su sat beside Fang Ruohua as usual, his hands gently fell on her shoulders, and while rubbing, he opened his mouth and spit out a series of data.

Fang Ruohua and the baby-faced were obviously very familiar with this set of processes, and put pen to paper to tell Hu Su where there were how many red gold jewels could be produced, where to go in the fastest way to exchange the most silver coins, where to directly produce how many silver coins, and where there was grain and grass that could be transported in time.

All kinds of extremely complex calculations appeared on paper, in Hu Su's mouth, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang couldn't even understand it.

Soon, the paper fell on the table, Fang Yan took out a map, pasted it directly on the wall, wrote and painted on it for a long time, and sighed: "County Lord, the silver we can mobilize at the fastest speed is only about 180,000 taels at most, the time is limited, it is really too late, as for the food is even more tight, the official grain in several warehouses on the government side has bottomed out, and I am afraid that I can't count on it for a while, that is, if the imperial court wants to send silver relief food again, I am afraid it will be difficult, and it will be too late in time." ”

Bai Yutang calculated the amount of silver he could borrow, a drop in the bucket, and didn't have to think about it.

Fang Ruohua pondered for a moment, not flustered, and said with a smile: "It seems that we can only count on these gentry and businessmen in Chenzhou to save them." ”

Zhan Zhao was stunned: "How is it possible, a small amount is fine, such a large amount of silver grain, it is impossible for the gentry in Chenzhou to be willing to take it out." As for the merchants, I'm afraid they are even more reluctant. ”

With the identity of the county lord and his identity, if he really licks his face and 'fights the autumn wind', a small amount of silver is not a problem, and no gentry will be unwilling to borrow it, but such a large sum, no one is stupid, how can it be easily taken out, not to mention, there is no time to talk to them.

"What's the matter, Lord Zhan also looks down on people too much, my Chenzhou gentry are all compassionate, they are all good people, and businessmen are also loyal and courageous, how can they not share their worries for the monarch?"
