Wang Yangming said: "Everything is according to the procedure, how can you be fooled?"

The veteran explained, "It's called filling your pockets. The vegetables that have always been eaten in our camp are from Shaanxi, and the people who supply vegetables in Shaanxi will sell their own vegetables to the imperial court at market prices, and the imperial court will send manpower to transport them to Jiayuguan, although the cost is expensive, but it has solved the sales of vegetables in Shaanxi and the livelihood of a group of people. At present, he has found a nearby source of goods, and the business in Shaanxi is bound to be damaged, and the source of goods he is looking for is in nine out of ten people who are familiar with him, and you think that he will give people a business that guarantees the harvest of 100,000 taels of drought and flood every year, and people dare not honor him? He does not know how much he will benefit from it. ”

Wang Yangming frowned when he heard this, and said regretfully: "I didn't know that there were so many mysteries. I'll catch up with him and get the paperwork back, and I'll do it." ”

The old soldier hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Your Excellency, you must not do this. The rules in our military camp are like a mountain, and they must be practiced when they say it. Even if it's something you've signed, you can't go back. Otherwise, I'm going to ask you a guilty of doing it!"

Wang Yangming hurriedly said: "How is that good, do you just see that he is filling his pockets?"

The veteran said: "This is called not believing in the straight, and you must guard against benevolence." Adults swallow their anger, this Wang Zhi also has a backer in the army, he is not afraid of you, he wants you to sign, that is to give you face, if he doesn't ask you to sign and go to do this thing, but you can't help him. It's just that adults will have a heart in the future, so don't be fooled again. ”

Wang Yangming couldn't swallow this breath, left the veteran, and went to chase Wang Zhi. Wang Zhi hadn't gone far yet, he caught up, and seeing that he looked calm, he had already guessed a few points in his heart, but he still asked casually: "Is there something wrong with Lord Wang?"

Wang Yangming said: "I thought about it just now, and I think something is wrong, you give me the paperwork, this matter is considered in the long run, I have to go to Lord Zhuang for instructions." ”

Wang Zhi refused to give it, and said: "My lord, everything in the army has regulations, and this kind of procurement does not need to go through the hands of Lord Zhuang, as long as you sign and approve it." Adults don't want to be petty, Lord Zhuang Juxian is also very busy, let's not quarrel with him. If you have any concerns, tell me directly. ”

Wang Yangming said: "The vegetables have always been transported from Shaanxi, Shaanxi has suffered from drought in recent years, and many students in my country's sub-prison are from Shaanxi. This supply to the Northwest Frontier Army is an important input for Shaanxi, and you and I have taken this input with a stroke of a pen, and I don't know how many more displaced victims will be in Shaanxi, and we cannot afford this responsibility. ”

Wang Zhi said coldly: "Your Excellency really has a sense of family and country, but have you ever thought that the imperial court spends a huge amount of money every year to supply the army's expenses, and doesn't this money come from the people?

Wang Yangming heard what he said, but it was reasonable, so he had to continue: "You are right, it is precisely because of this that I promised you to sign just now. It's just that there is one more thing, where is the source of the goods you are looking for, where is it, what is the origin, and how did you get connected? If you explain these things clearly, I dare to let you buy it with confidence. ”

Wang Zhi turned cold: "My lord said this, do you think that I am full of private pockets, fake public benefits, and eat other people's kickbacks?"

Wang Yangming saw that he had torn his face, but he did not back down, and said sternly: "I didn't say that." I'm just saying, we should find out the source of goods for the army, otherwise something will happen, can you afford it, or can I afford it?"

Wang Zhi saw that what he said was also the truth, and secretly thought that although this hairy boy was young, his brain was also clear, so he had to explain: "The person in charge of this source is indeed familiar with me. It is precisely because I know him well that I can trust him and believe that he will not fake. Rest assured, my subordinates are just doing business, and I don't dare to eat a penny of his kickbacks, and I will take strict care of him and never let him have any forks. ”

Wang Yangming saw that he was serious, but he didn't want to say anything more. I had to say: "With Brother Wang's words, I am relieved." In this way, the business of hundreds of thousands of taels, we can't ignore it, Brother Wang, you give me the paperwork, and then ask your acquaintance to come to the barracks to meet me, I will see how his conduct is, ask him face to face, if there is no problem, I will give you the paperwork, you can do it. ”

Wang Zhi had no choice but to return the paperwork to him, and went to him to know him without mentioning it.

In the afternoon, Wang Zhi's acquaintance came, and Wang Yangming met the man in the service camp. The man was born rich, so fat that he could barely walk, with a sideways face, and he didn't know how many good things he had eaten to cultivate this honor. When the man saw Wang Yangming, he was about to bow down, which frightened Wang Yangming, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what are you doing here." ”

The man said: "Lord Wang, you have to see the face of the sky, and the little three lives are lucky." ”

Wang Yangming said: "You still get up and talk, I'm also very tired if you are like this." ”

The man had to stand up straight, and Wang Yangming asked him where he made a living, managed a few acres of land, and had confidence in this business. The man also dealt with it decently, saying that he had thousands of acres of fertile land under his command, and that thousands of peasants had to pay rent to him every year, but he was suffering from having nowhere to sell things, and if he could become a stable supplier to the army this time, his fields would really come in handy, and he could be regarded as contributing to the country.

Wang Yangming saw that although this person was not good-looking, he could do things and talk well, so he granted his request, saying that in the future, the Northwest Army would buy 10,000 catties of vegetables from him every year, but he would just explain clearly, if he wanted good and fresh, if he dared to use the second number, he would immediately cancel the contract with him.

The man agreed, Wang Yangming sent him out, but before the man left, he quietly stuffed something into Wang Yangming's sleeve, Wang Yangming took it out, and saw that it was a silver ticket, which was as much as 10,000 taels, and immediately stuffed the silver ticket back to the person, and said loudly: "You person, I just thought you are an honest and reliable, why did you come to this set." If I want to make money, I won't come to this northwest to be a soldier. You quickly collect this silver ticket, go back and prepare the goods, or the same sentence, if I find out that you are shoddy, I will cancel your contract immediately!"

The man didn't want to pat the horse's leg on the horse's leg, so he went out of the door, Wang Zhi walked up and asked, "Brother, how are you talking?"

The man said: "You deputy lieutenant Wang, but you are only a teenager, why are you so serious." When the ordinary hairy boy saw 10,000 taels of silver tickets, he was so frightened that his bones were crispy. Not only did he not want to, but he also scolded me. ”

Wang Zhidao: "He is really a person who doesn't love money? ”

The man said, "Brother, whoever does not love money must be a lover of sex." Do you think I'm going to find a few coquettish prostitutes to spend a few nights with this little brother?"

Wang Zhi scolded: "You profiteer, you better don't cause trouble for me! I don't think this person is like Aise, let's be honest lately, don't be caught by him." You supply your goods honestly, don't be ghostly. Even so, I didn't let you make any less money, you know enough. ”

The man said with a bitter face: "If all the goods I supply to your Northwest Army are good, then I will lose, besides, my fields are not all good land, and the production is only one-tenth good, and the other nine points are bad, if you don't let me make ghosts, I can't even supply you with this goods, and then you don't want to ask me for a crime of breaking the contract, where can I afford it!"

Wang Zhi scolded: "You are smart, but you are stupid. You only supply the good goods to our military camp headquarters, and supply all the bad goods to other branches, and these bigwigs in the headquarters have eaten well, and the branch department dare to make a fuss. I'm in charge of the distribution of grain and grass in the service camp, and our brothers should work together inside and outside, who can see the clues?"

The man said happily: "With your words, I will rest assured, and I will go back to handle it." ”

Wang Zhi saw him pull out his legs and leave, and said coldly: "This is leaving?"

The man was a well-behaved man, he knew what Wang Zhi meant, and secretly scolded this old turtle in his heart, he had a great appetite, so he turned back again, took out the 10,000 taels of silver tickets that Wang Yangming rejected from his sleeve, stuffed it into Wang Zhi's sleeve, and said: "My lord's kindness, I definitely don't dare to forget, I have given you 20,000 taels before, this time you have worked hard, I am sorry not to go, this hard money, you smile, smile." ”

Wang Zhi then retracted his cuffs and left without saying a word. The man looked at his distant figure, suddenly spat on the ground fiercely, and whispered, "What!" and then patted his buttocks, and walked away with difficulty.
