Zhao Tuo was looking at a few pieces of music. He will come from Nanchang, Yu Gan and Anren in the near future, and there is a big map on the ground in front of the bookcase.

It wasn't until Lu and Zhao knelt down and bowed to the ground that Zhao Tuo raised his eyes to look at them and said, "The two Qing families are even." Then he walked up to Yutu with his hands behind his back and said, "Have you been to Yugan? Have you seen that Li Saburo?"

This question was so unexpected that Zhao Baogen didn't even understand which one the emperor was talking about. Lu Rui was old, and immediately came to his senses, and said with his hands crossed: "The person Your Majesty asked, but the eldest son of Duke Li Wencheng?"

"Yes, that's him."

"When I left with the Chen family, I met once."

"You tell me what happened carefully."

"Yes." So Luri honestly recounted what had happened that evening before the sailing.

"Mr. Lu, what kind of person does Li Sanlang think he is? Is it impulsive and reckless, or is it honest and trustworthy?" Eunuch Liu asked for the emperor beside him.

"The minister thought that Li Sanlang was a little reckless at that time, but he was brave, and he was quite affectionate and responsible for Miss Chen. If it takes time, maybe it can be a material for leading troops on the battlefield, and the ministers don't dare to comment on the rest."

The emperor said: "As Qing said, this Li Sanlang has now been appointed by the Raozhou Prefecture as the deputy envoy of the regimental training and the southern part of the country, and the serious nine-rank official body, there are two thousand regimental training under his command, and he has never been defeated in battles, he is indeed a good seedling."

Lu Rui and Zhao Baogen looked at each other, they had never left the imperial city since they were loyal to their duties, who knew how many incidents had happened in the past few months.

"I want to send the two Qing families to Raozhou again, and help Li Sanlang do something into the tiger's den as a messenger. If this fails, you may not be able to come back. If you win, then you will be in the royal family, and I will be rich!"

When they heard this, their eyes were shining. Although there has always been a civil and military dispute in this dynasty, military merit is the first, that is to say, the martial lord is the most respected, followed by the civil lord and the people.

If you have the opportunity to show your skills, no soldier will give up! Lu Rui and Zhao Baogen knelt on one leg without hesitation, and arched their hands: "The ministers are all sworn allegiance!"

"However, this time, you can't go out of Beijing in the uniform of the Pterodactyl Guard, but you have to change into casual clothes." Zhao Tuo was satisfied with them and then said, "How to do it and what to do, Liu Daban will tell you in detail.

In addition, this mission is very dangerous, I have a gold medal and a secret decree for you to bring with you, these are all told to you by the director of Jilong Weijiao. When you go and go back, the pick-up on the way will also be arranged by Mr. Jiao."

Ji Longwei is a rather mysterious organization, subordinate to the Temple Front. However, it is actually a spy agency, and it does not charge into war, but pays special attention to people in the rivers and lakes, foreign envoys, foreign business travelers, and cults.

Their actions had nothing to do with the imperial court and were directly accountable to the emperor. In this operation, the emperor used them to help, which explained the secrecy of the mission itself, and Lu Rui and Zhao Baogen listened to it, and they all felt a pang in their hearts.

Outside the south gate of Anren, there is a busy scene everywhere.

Due to cost and process problems, most of the wharves in this era were along the shore wharves (built along the river bank, simple and easy to walk, but the utilization rate was not high), such as the commercial deep-water wharf with stone banks outside the Guanlan Gate (West Gate).

However, this area outside the south gate is mainly silt to form a shallow, and it is necessary to go further downstream, and there is a deep water area outside the Mengjin Gate (southwest gate), so the original Wuyi Bridge Wharf outside the south gate is berthed more sand boats and passenger ships with shallow draft.

Now, in order to meet the needs of the construction of the Jinjiang Bridge, a deep-water wharf must be opened nearby.

Therefore, using the harvested timber and bamboo transported downstream, a new 400-step Wankeqiao wharf was built outside the Mengjin Gate.

This wharf uses bamboo cage caisson as the core, and designs a four-pier bridge jetty wharf, each wharf is T-shaped, which can accommodate five large ships of 500 materials at the same time!

At present, the pier has been completed and put into use, and the raw materials and materials transported from Mianshan and Yujiazhai have been continuously landed from this wharf, and then transported to various places by horse-drawn carriages.

The original Wuyi Bridge Wharf has been newly built with two shallow directions

The timber breakwater extends in the water, almost doubling the capacity of the berths!

Behind the pier are two houses with wooden walls and bamboo tiles, one with the word "disembarkation" written on it, which houses the ticket gate and the rest area for pick-up, and the other with the "boarding" door for the ticket gate and boarding waiting area.

Between the two large houses is the water inspection room and the interrogation office, and the inspectors can enter each side through two doors in the corridor.

A young man who had just come off the boat stood on the pier pier and watched dumbfounded, when a water inspector came up and stood five or six paces away from him, and said politely:

"This boy, please go under the trestle and watch slowly, you will make it inconvenient for others to stand here."

"Oh, I'm sorry! Please forgive me, I was distracted for a while." The young man hurriedly turned around and beckoned to his entourage, "Changhu, take your things and let's go down." The patrolman smiled, made a gesture of please, and said as he went:

"Childe is a scholar, don't shout anything, 'Master Jun, our green shirt team doesn't do this here. When you see that the officers and soldiers can shout like this, we only need to call 'brother' to the soldiers, and 'Sir' to the officers."

"Yes, but how can I tell which of you is a soldier and who is an officer?" The young man asked curiously after him.

"Well, the one with the rank mark on our left arm is the soldier, and if the rank is on the shoulder, or the collar, or the cuff, it is an officer." The Patrolman said attentively, reminding him of the wooden steps at his feet.

"And the cuffs? It's complicated!" The servant Chang Hu said with a book on his back and a bamboo drawer in his hand (for stationery, bamboo, with two or three drawers up and down).

"It's not complicated." The patrol shook his head: "The people with the logo on the cuffs are all pacification officers, the most fair, kind, understand the rules and are the most capable of fighting, and they can't be wrong when they have difficulties!"

"Brother, how do I see that you are wearing brown clothes, not green clothes. Are you also a member of the Tsing Shirts?"

"Forget it!" The Inspector puffed up his chest: "We used to be a bad guy in the city, and we were strong for others.

Later, the Tsing Yi team defeated Anren, and we followed Master Zhou to join him, and Lord Li asked some of us to go to the district militia squadron, and the rest went to the inspection branch Xie Dutou (Xie Guiting, deputy inspector of the inspection division, and the people below used to call him the head of the city, and the inspection was nominally Zhou Qin).

We're familiar with what's going on on the docks, so we're here to take up a post."

"Is it because you're so good at fighting?" The youth jokingly said.

"Yo, I don't dare now!" The inspector hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't hide it from the master, there are six dollars of silver a month for doing things here, and the team is still in charge of eating and drinking, and there are uniforms, boots, and weapons sent down, who is still fighting and ruthless?"

Besides, the violation of military discipline, the three major military disciplines and eight points of attention, if one is committed, he will be expelled from the green shirt team and will never be hired, not a trick! Because we have a young wife, and my father can't do without me because of his broken leg, that's why I came to be a patrolman.

Otherwise, when the soldiers have captures, rewards for merit, and dividends for their families, fools will not want to go. Seeing that you are a foreigner, I tell you that the soldiers of the Tsing Shirt team will die after a battle, and the whole family can live for more than ten years on pensions and dividends!

This time to fight the lake bandits, I heard that the soldiers have done nothing, and they can still divide three taels of silver for defending the city wall!"

Listening to his chatter, the young man was very interested, and looked up to find that he had reached the bottom of the plaque that said "disembark". "Childe is here to visit relatives and friends? Can anyone pick it up?" Inspector asked.

"Oh, there should be, right?" The young man looked out and replied uncertainly, "I have asked someone to deliver a letter here in Yugan, but I have not said when it will arrive."

"Oh!" The inspector had a look of "I understand": "In this way, you show the ticket to the inspector, and you can get out of the customs after he cuts the ticket." If you don't see anyone coming to pick you up, you can hire a carriage from a carriage dealer to go into town.

In front of their carriage, there is a driving license plate issued by the inspection department, and the son can find the sign of Jiangdongxing, just say that it was introduced by the inspection director Ding Laosi, and the coachman must serve him well, and the price is the fairest!"

"I see, thank you Brother Ding

Brother." The young man smiled and thought to himself, it seems that this Ding Laosi has an agreement with Jiang Dongxing, no wonder he is so attentive to me.

"Where, where, dare to ask Childe's surname?"

"Under the surname Sun."

"When Sun Gongzi returned, there was a ticket office on the right hand outside the boarding gate, which was the place where return tickets were sold. If you mention my name Ding Laosi, you can get a 7% discount, or upgrade to the next level for free."

"Okay, okay!"

"Na Ding Lao Si is here to send his son, I wish you a happy and happy life in Anren!"

"Thank you, Brother Ding, farewell!"

Sun Gongzi walked to the ticket cutting gate with the servant, and Chang Hu took out two printed tickets from the bamboo drawer and handed them over to the inspection.

On the side of the ticket stub, the name of the company to which the ship belongs and the appearance of a ship are printed, and the ship number, cabin, and number of people are written in a font they do not recognize, and the departure and arrival piers are indicated in block letters, as well as the names of the passengers, and the date and time of departure.

On the other side, the blank space in the pattern frame on the side of the parastat contains the passenger's name, gender, age, place of origin, reason for visit, appearance and other information.

After checking the authenticity of the ticket face, and after checking two or three questions such as the names, characteristics, and reasons for the visit of the two people according to the records, he cut off the secondary copy with scissors, handed the ticket stub back to them, and said:

"Please keep it, this ticket stub has the same effect as the road slip, and you can show it to the other party when you encounter inquiries when walking in this county."

"But ......, it doesn't say what we look like?" Chang Hu frowned and asked, "How do people know that we didn't pick it up or steal it?"

"They'll write down your ticket number and report it to us, and here's a record of both of you, and the ticket number on the copy is the same as the one on the ticket stub you have." The inspector replied with a smile, apparently having answered this question more than once.

The young man followed his hand and found that there was a cyan ink mark number in the blank space on the sub-couplet, using the kind of strange words that he had seen many times before, and then looked at the ticket stub in his hand, and sure enough, there was a string of such numbers in the blank space.

"What is this word? I've never seen it, it's not Tatar, it's not the Western Regions." The young man shook his head in confusion.

Fortunately, the two of them were the last to leave the station, and the inspector was very patient, and replied with a smile:

"It's Arabic numerals, you see it's zero, this is two, nine, three, seven, four. Childe is best to learn, this thing is not difficult, there are more and more places to use on our side, and it will be very troublesome in the future if you don't know it.

The inspector kindly told him, but he didn't expect this sentence to lead to another question from the grandson: "Who is Arabia, and is he very knowledgeable?"

"Ha, you're asking Arabia? Ask what the patrol does, a military man! If only you asked me!"

When Sun Gongzi and Chang Hu found the carriage of Jiangdong Che Company, the coachman, who had nose hair in his nostrils and a bearded face, saw them pointing to the hot bamboo sign under the eaves of the carport, and was surprised by the words on it again, and said loudly and proudly.

"What? You know this thing?" Chang Hu sat next to the coachman, his eyes were about to pop out, and he almost said the words "My son-in-law doesn't know", looked back at his master, and swallowed the words back into his stomach, pouting with an expression of "I don't believe it".

"Arab, that's not a person, it's an overseas country. It is said that in the far west, it takes a month to get from Tianzhu by boat!

Their people there are good at being merchants, and many of them have sailed to our Middle Earth to trade, and I heard that there are many of them in Quanzhou.

This kind of number is what they brought in, and we heard from the shopkeeper of the car dealer that it is quite convenient to use this number for accounting, bookkeeping, and arithmetic. We haven't written four or five sheets of paper before we can write them, and they will remember half a page clearly."

"Really, fake, can it be so powerful? I don't believe there is a better treasure than us." Chang Hu bared his teeth against it.

"Little old watch, you haven't seen it for many miles!" The coachman sneered, and at this time they were going to the construction site of the Jinjiang Bridge according to Sun Gongzi's request, and the coachman knocked the wheel with a whip rod:

"Let's just talk about this car, tell you that I have registered to donate this car to the Tsing Yi team to run for transportation, if it weren't for the priority of the homeless, I wouldn't be there now

I'm working here."

"Why? Isn't it good to make money in peace like this, why do you have to go to war?" Chang Hu looked back at his master again, and then asked.

"Li Saburo said: All for the front line!" The coachman pushed his fat slap forward with great momentum.

"When did you say that?"

"At the conference, we celebrated the inauguration of our fundraising committee in Anren."

"Wait, fundraising? What kind of money to raise?" Sun Gongzi couldn't help but *** come and ask, this An Ren...... There are so many things that people don't understand!

"Revitalize Anren, support the Tsing Shirt team, and protect the territory and the people!" The bearded man grinned: "It's not just us, isn't Yu Gan also doing it, haven't you heard of it since Yu Gan?"

"We went to the yamen in Yugan and slept at home. My son-in-law has traveled before, but he has never traveled so far in such a hurry." Chang Hu said and glanced at the wry-smiling master behind him.

"Tell me more, what's going on with this fund? Do you pay the Tsing Jersey team?"

"Where! They don't do anything that oppresses the people." After that, the coachman gave them a general explanation of the role and main rules of the fundraising committee.

"Hehe, got it? Therefore, whether to give money or not, and how much to give, is decided by the committee members after discussion, but it is not something that the Tsing Yi team wants." The bearded man pointed to the front with his hand:

"For example, this Jinjiang Bridge, the Tsing Shirt team said that it would cost 10,000 taels, so Yu Gan can decide whether to vote or not, and Anren can too.

I heard that in the future, after the construction is completed, pedestrians crossing the bridge will be charged one money, vehicles will be charged five yuan, and boats crossing the bridge will be charged ten yuan per 100 materials, and the less than 100 materials will be free of charge, and the recovered money will be returned to Yugan and Anren according to the proportion of capital contributions from both sides.

In the same way, in the future, a carriage factory, a transportation bank, a smelter, and an iron-making plant will be built in Anren, all using the same method. The county magistrate, Mr. Zhou, said that this is called ...... Take it from the people, use it for the people.

Those of us who contributed capital can not only get dividends, but also give priority to sending our children to technical schools, apprenticeships and workers in these factories. After that, there are more ways to earn money to support the family, and it doesn't have to be just farming and driving!"

"What, your family also paid for it?" Chang Hu asked curiously, "How much silver does this take, and are there any rules?"

The coachman suddenly found that he had gone astray, and hurriedly said, "I have gone far away, and I just said that I want to donate this carriage, eh, this is the contribution, and the chariot, the horse, and the people can be converted into silver."

My car, including this mule and the villain, is equivalent to a total of twenty-one taels of silver, on the condition that I work in the Tsing Yi team for half a year. If the loss of cars and livestock is compensated within half a year, the casualties will be compensated according to the standard of the Tsing Shirt auxiliaries......."

Listening to his introduction, Sun Gongzi was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "If it is compensation according to the price, will it be given to cash or a new car?"

"Hey, hey, hey......." The bearded man was happy, and both of them laughed inexplicably: "Childe is really powerful, and he asked the truth." He didn't look back, gave a thumbs up behind him, and then told him very mysteriously, "You don't even have to think about it, of course you want a new car!"

"Of course? Why?" Chang Hu looked left and right: "I think your car is also good, it should not have been used for a few years, right?"

"Yo, little brother seems to know how to do it, huh? It's been less than two years since I bought this car. Our current Master Zhou is a good official, so I can save money to buy this car.

You don't know from out of town, our Anren's coachman is staring at a carriage these days! It was a car that Li Sanlang built for his husband, with four wheels, two horses, and six people!

It's fast and light, and sitting in it is as comfortable as being in a nine-story futon! I heard that the two-day road from here to Yugan County, the carriage departs in the morning and arrives in the afternoon, and it can run back and forth in one day!

There is also a kind of large-scale special passenger transport, with three rows of seats in the front and back, which can seat eight people, and the roof can also rest luggage, and the horse can drive.

This new carriage was built using a lot of Taixi's construction method, which is different from our old Chinese style, getting on and off from the side with a door.

We have all inquired that in the future there will be its own carriage factory here, and all new carriages will be made. A car costs twenty-two taels of silver.

I will pay half of this car, and then go to the battlefield to earn half of it, and it is not a big problem to buy a new car. Besides, when retiring, the green shirt team can give low-interest loans to veteran players, and the annual interest rate is only one and a half percent within 20 taels!

I'm looking forward to buying a new type of bus, and it would be better if I could make a big one," Song Daqi said, "Isn't this name amazing? Eh, I'm going to pass it on to my son and grandson!" The coachman danced and looked forward to it.
