Yang Xin was stunned, he didn't expect it to be like this, but he couldn't understand why Li Yan would set up the establishment of the Beida Battalion like this, could it be that he planned to use these people as cannon fodder from the beginning, and one of the ten people could live, saving the trouble of reorganizing after the war?

Thinking of this, I can't help but have a cold sweat behind my back.

But it's useless to think about this at this time, now Li Yan doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, the new army of Beidaying, except for those who ran out, more than 50,000 people don't know how many people can survive.

"This is just a temporary establishment, and it will be reorganized when it is stabilized!"

Yang Xin didn't want to expose the true face of Tubaozi, but at this time, he also began to worry a little about his team, that is, the general level was too low, and all the lowest peasants were the same.

……

The people only paid the poll tax of half a tael of silver when they entered the city, and they easily entered the city.

Jinan City is also dilapidated, there are traces of war everywhere, the street is full of homeless people begging for food, and occasionally the government servants patrol with some village soldiers, but they do not move! Signs of chaos.

Yang Xin and others walked around, walked into one of the most prosperous streets, there were a lot of green buildings on the street, wine shops and gambling houses, all kinds of cloth shops, thick villages, grain shops, pawnshops, etc., and even some people set up stalls on the roadside to sell rock sugar gourds, pancakes and other snacks, as well as all kinds of gadgets, this is obviously an area where rich people gather, the sound of silk and bamboo is mixed with the noise of the crowd, and there is no dilapidation.

The princess was already looking at the golden light in her eyes, and she had the posture of going out to buy frantically, Yang Xin had to stop, and saw a very big restaurant on the street, and walked in.

When the shopkeeper saw so many guests, he naturally smiled and stepped forward to entertain him in person.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

Yang Xin smiled and said: "Yes, first arrange five rooms for us, prepare two tables of wine and food, and choose the best dishes you have here!" ”

The shopkeeper's great joy, at first glance, the master is a rich man, not to mention the princess, full of luxury, and Yang Xin is from the modern era, in the eyes of people in this era, that look is a bullish character, not to mention that he is now also a person with a bit of a family background, not as sad as living in the later life, and naturally he will not be stingy with his subordinates.

The homeless people were naturally overjoyed, they had never entered such a high-end restaurant, and Lin Fatzi had unceremoniously led someone to follow Xiao Er to choose a table.

Yang Xin didn't leave in a hurry, and continued to ask: "The shopkeeper, when I first arrived in Jinan, I don't know who the current governor of Shandong is?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, and there was really a rich man in front of him, so he asked the governor as soon as he came, so he hurriedly said: "Guest officer, the original governor of Shandong, Zhu Dadian, Lord Zhu, has already fled to Nanjing, and now there is no governor in Jinan." ”

Yang Xin was stunned, but he also knew the urine nature of the Ming Dynasty officials, and it was expected that the enemy would either surrender or escape, so he asked again: "Then who is in charge of Jinan City now?" ”

The shopkeeper was also very confused, thought for a while, and said: "Shandong political envoy Zhang Bingwen Zhang died in battle when resisting the Manchu Qing a few years ago, and General Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, also went to Huai'an. ”

Yang Xin heard it in a fog, but he guessed right, the shopkeeper who can open such a big restaurant must have some backstage, naturally knowledgeable, he can remember the names of the high-level people in Shandong, which is already stronger than most ordinary people.

The princess has been listening attentively, these people are the feudal officials of their Zhu family, so they naturally have to care about the current trend.

Yang Xin thought for a while and asked again: "Where is the most famous Qinglou in Jinan City?" ”

The princess was suddenly shocked, she didn't expect Yang Xin to ask this question, her face flushed and she broke free of Yang Xin's hand, and ran to occupy a seat with Jiao Cripple and others.

The shopkeeper looked at it and smiled: "That's naturally the Lichun Courtyard in front!" ”

Yang Xin looked at the shopkeeper's playful eyes, didn't care at all, and walked to the table with Bai Bucai and the others.

When he arrived at the banquet, Yang Xin hurriedly whispered in the princess's ear and said, "Don't worry about it, I just want to go to the Qinglou to find out a little news, otherwise you will change into men's clothes and go with me?" ”

The princess only felt warm in her heart, she wouldn't take this kind of thing to heart at all, and she wasn't angry just now, but she was a big girl with yellow flowers and thin skin.

"No, it's not appropriate for me to go to that kind of place, I know you have to do something, I'll go shopping later."

Yang Xin was stunned, women in this era are too easy to talk, and they want to change to the next generation, and tell their girlfriends that they want to do great health care, and the rhythm of being cut properly.

For a long time, these people have been on the move, and now they have big fish and meat, and they have already begun to eat and drink.

After the meal, Yang Xin arranged the task, the soldiers were divided into three ways, he took Du Datou, Lin Fatzi, Xue Laosan and a few pro-soldiers to the Qinglou, Bai Youcai took people to purchase food supplies and buy some fresh meat, vegetables and fruits for the camp, etc., the princess went shopping, and Yang Xin arranged for the honest Jiao Cripple to bring a few soldiers to accompany him for protection.

The most lucrative business on the street in this era is none other than the Qinglou and the gambling house, which are illegal in later generations, can it not be profitable? Many people in later generations ridiculed that the fastest way to make money was written in the criminal law, and in the evil old society, this was legal.

Therefore, Yang Xin believes that the most profitable Qinglou must be in the hands of the most powerful people in the local area, if you want to find the right direction as soon as possible, it is more effective to go to the Qinglou to find out the news than to go directly to the Yamen.

Yang Xin is still the first time to come to the Fengyue place of the Ming Dynasty, as soon as he entered the Lichun Courtyard, the old bustard brought a few girls with flowers and branches to greet him, all of them wiped their faces, and said with a smile: "Oh, a distinguished guest has arrived, this son is so handsome, but he is going to fascinate the girl in my Lichun Courtyard, do you want me to arrange an upstairs seat for the prince?" ”

Yang Xin shook his head and said, "Just arrange it in this downstairs lobby." ”

Look at the layout of this green building, the middle of the lobby is the stage, a woman is holding the pipa and singing, the lobby on the first floor is an ordinary seat, filled with dozens of tables, at this time the business is average, sparsely sat a dozen guests, the second floor is naturally the old bustard said the elegant seat, are private rooms.

Yang Xin chose the first floor naturally for the convenience of inquiring about the news, but he didn't understand that he had never been to the Qinglou, so he wanted to inquire about the news, so naturally the best time was after dinner, which would be just over lunch, the business was not very good, and there were not many guests.

Yang Xin chose a table with more people nearby to sit down, the bustard introduced the girl, he did not refuse, a table of people according to the bustard's recommendation, asked for five or six girls, served some wine and food, and was very cooperative with the bustard's promotion.

The old bustard is not very old, that is, in her thirties, which can only be regarded as a leftover girl in later generations, and this era is already a half-old, at this time the spring breeze is already smiling, after greeting everyone, and is about to leave, Yang Xin grabbed her sleeve and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, I see that your store will not be too busy, why don't you chat with me for a while?" ”

The old bustard was stunned, could it be that this son doesn't like young fans and likes like himself? However, she was a girl in the Qinglou when she was young, and she was still a red card, so it can be said that she has been engaged in this industry since she was a child, and she is very familiar with dealing with customers.

He sat in Yang Xin's arms, hugged Yang Xin's neck and smiled, "Childe is so handsome, so cheap and slave." ”
