Chapter 142: I'm so poor
"Why are you worried?" Yan Lao Er pointed in the direction where Yan was, and said mysteriously: "The sky is falling, and there is your uncle!" Didn't you also chatter, but if the male protagonist is lucky, one person is an official, and the whole family lies down to win......"
Yan Yu: ......
Dad, why do you remember these nonsensical words so clearly?
That's all it takes, and it's in my mind.
"Uncle's choice at that time can't be said to be wrong, alas! I'd better find a chance to ask him, what the uncle said, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask him. Yan Yu saw that Li Xuemei was slightly tired, so she stopped her mouth at the right time.
Pulled her father out of the car, "Dad, if the uncle asks, why do you lie on the ground and listen to the sound, what do you say?" ”
Yan Lao Er: Stuck.
Yan Yu sighed, "You just said that you were looking for a water vein, so you need to listen." ”
"Is there still a way to do it?" Yan Lao Er asked in surprise.
"Who knows!" Yan Yu shrugged, "Just when you are strange, let's look for water sources in the future, if you don't say that you will listen, do you say that you will see the trend of mountains and rivers?" ”
Yan Lao Er was nervous, "I hope your uncle doesn't ask, it's good for me to be an ordinary ear." ”
Whatever you're afraid of, you'll come.
Yan Huaiwen really asked why his younger brother was lying on the ground.
"Brother! I thought about who had ever heard someone say that some of the people who were fetching water could see it, and some of them could hear where there was water, so I wondered if I could hear something. Yan Lao Er said in a sincere tone.
Boss Yan, look at me and look at my sincere eyes!
Yan Huaiwen didn't sense his request and looked to the northwest.
Ask him, "What do you hear?" ”
It's good to have the courage to try.
"I can't tell, but I just have a feeling that if you change directions, you might be able to find water." Yan Lao Er secretly poked and poked.
Yan Huaiwen looked at him, and his tone was solemn: "God bless, you know that your brother is insufficient, the journey is set by you, this time and that time, I am waiting for this moment, I am afraid that I will change the route, I want to ask you, avoid the official road, avoid the original path we used to go straight, is there a way?" ”
"Uncle!" Yan Yu suddenly interrupted.
"Are we going to Guanzhou?" Yan Yu asked the question that had been thinking about him all along.
"Of course." Yan Huaiwen turned his head to look at her, not minding her interjecting halfway.
He looked at Heng'er on the other side, Yan Xiangheng had been lowering his head slightly, and could only see a pair of eyebrows that were about to be knotted, and after Yan Yu asked this question, he suddenly raised his head and stared at him with burning eyes, waiting for his answer.
"Daddy!" Yan Xiangheng abruptly asked, "Who are those?" Is it the officers and soldiers of the Leshan Guard? ”
"Nope." Yan Huaiwen's eyebrows were blank, and he said indifferently: "As I guessed, it should be a first-class private soldier." ”
Private soldiers?
Yan Yu's eyes lit up.
Yan Xiangheng has always been restrained and fearful in front of Yan Huaiwen, since he is sensible, his father is more than solemn and not close enough.
His father's desire to study was very strong, and he spent more time in the academy than at home, but after Yan Xiangheng Kaimeng entered the school, he was more common than at home.
But it's not as close and fresh as this journey.
This is also the first time that he has asked what he thinks without scruples, like his second sister.
"The official uniforms on those people don't look like fakes, and there are waist cards."
Yan Xiangheng took out a brass brand from his cuff, "The child has taken a closer look, and it is indeed cast in copper." ”
Yan Lao Er and Yan Yu's father and daughter looked at Yan Xiangheng in surprise.
Young man, you don't have a strong sense of existence, and your mind is quite delicate!
It was silent, went to see the material of the clothes, and secretly hid a waist card......
Yan Huaiwen laughed shallowly, took the waist card, and also took out a piece from his sleeve, and didn't care much about the collision between the two.
The sound of the impact came and fell.
"There are so many mistakes and omissions, and I don't know where to start as a father."
Yan Yu's mind is flexible, he has already heard the words, and he has a bottom in his heart, and he is alive again.
"Uncle, drink saliva and moisten your throat." The dog-legged one sent a bamboo tube, the lid was lifted, and the two wild chrysanthemums stretched and bloomed in the water.
Yan Huaiwen nodded her little head.
said: "Then let's start with the horse." ”
"What's wrong with the horse?" Yan Lao Er asked.
"There's nothing wrong with the horses themselves, it's the numbers that matter." Yan Huaiwen took a sip of water and explained the confusion of the three of them: "I have no horse farms in the court, only in the military camps in various places to breed, the output is limited, the outflow is very small, the horses circulating in the market are all brought back by merchants from outside the customs.
If it is a serious guard officer, let alone a horse, all the equipment is missing, the guard posts around the country, I have never heard of any place that will be so rich, more than 100 people travel, everyone with horses, hehe......
Weapons, official uniforms, waist cards, all the same. ”
Yan Yu's eyes sparkled and asked, "Uncle, what do you mean, it's not bad, it's that the texture is too good?" ”
Yan Huaiwen snorted, "The knife is a good knife, the official uniform is also new, and the waist card is ...... Pure brass is used. He smiled and shook his head: "According to the system, the points are exactly the same, but in fact, the treasury is empty, and the official system was changed more than ten years ago, and the prefectures and departments are also among the return systems." ”
"So, it's all fake, people are fake, things are fake, hahaha, fake is better than real? Hahahaha......" Yan Yu died laughing.
What kind of strange court is this, poor to such an extent? Took back all the bronze things such as official seals and waist plates? So what did you give to the people below?
"Big brother, what do the real official seals and waist cards look like?" Yan Lao Er asked.
"The official seal is mostly engraved by famous stones from all over the world, and the waist plate has the quality of wood, iron, silver, and gold, and the gold and silver are all covered."
Yan Yu: Overlay?
Is that what she understands?
Gold and silver plating!!
This one is pretty good.
Hahahaha......
Yan Yu asked again: "Uncle, if these people are private soldiers, doesn't it mean that they are richer than the regular army?" ”
Yan Xiangheng pursed his lips and said with a serious expression: "Guarding the mine, of course, there is no shortage of money. ”
That's right!
These people will chase after them because they have smashed the den of human trafficking bandits and cut them off.
Yan Yu strung everything together.
The owner of the private mine contacted the mountain bandits to buy people, and the mountain bandits arrested people on the official road and sold them to the mines, digging day and night, digging up as much as they did for nothing, almost no cost, the owners of the private mines became richer and richer, and they also raised private soldiers, and the equipment was sufficient, which was better than the regular army.
Alas? Is there something missing?
"Daddy! Why do they keep private soldiers and imitate the system of officers and soldiers? Yan Xiangheng asked.
Yan Huaiwen said: "Mining private mines, buying and selling civilians, impersonating officers and soldiers, imitating official ceremonies, and privately casting swords and soldiers...... Accumulation of crimes should undoubtedly be treason. ”
Yan Laoer: ......
Yan Yu: ......
Yan Xiangheng: ......
Can you say such a serious thing in such an everyday tone?
Yan Yu had a groundhog screaming in his heart:
Ahh————h
