The sound of iron outside the door ping-pong, even if it is an enemy-occupied area, the daily economic and military life must continue, especially in Jinling City, which is now in the core position, the restoration of production and economic life has become the top priority of the current Yongle Dynasty, if there is not enough food and grass, the soldier's food and salary can not be guaranteed, the previous small fight may be able to support the next war through looting, the cycle repeats, but now it is different, the capital is going to fight a protracted war, there is no food, grass and ordnance, how to fight this battle?

Since the day Lu Qinghou entered Jinling, he has met with several leaders and requested, and the looting has almost disappeared in the past few days, but small fights still occur from time to time, but they are all limited to their own jurisdiction.

The information that the second thousand hirons have, as the person in charge of the Jing'an Division of Jinling, Zhou Yong is not just a brave warrior, which can be felt when Jiang Ning sees him.

"When you arrive in Jiujiang, is there anyone to answer?" Jiang Ning asked, "Is anyone injured at the moment?" He immediately signaled Zhou Yong not to care too much about the etiquette and let him sit down.

Zhou Yong got up the tea, and then sat down and said: "In the middle of the two pursuits, a team of men and horses lost forty percent, but the second adult side did not lose, our brothers also got on the boat, they can protect it, these brothers are proficient in water, although the son can rest assured." ”

"The second adult got off the ship in Taipingzhou, and the relevant matters to Jiujiang have been arranged, and the Liu steward of Jiujiang has been arranged, and as soon as the ship arrives, it will be settled directly." Zhou Yong said: "Childe doesn't have to be different, there is a horizontal connection between our state capitals, but it is only limited to one government and six states, and then we don't know, what is the matter with the second adult, the authority will be set according to the situation, the fifth level is the most ordinary event, it can be collected between the villages, the fourth level is between the towns and villages, the third level is the state, the second level is the government, and the first level, it should be only the core few people know." ”

Jiang Ning nodded, it seems that the second thousand excavations have indeed put a lot of effort, this kind of plan is only available in the next generation, and now it has a prototype, but it is not perfect at present, and there are many things that need to be matched, such as the corresponding response mechanism at all levels, disposal methods and reward and punishment measures, only by forming a system, can it really play a role, and it is true that these can only wait until this matter has passed before there is time to start preparation.

"What is the situation in Jinling now?" Jiang Ning asked again.

Zhou Yong frowned slightly: "The situation in Jinling is not very optimistic, this Fang La built the capital today, built the Yongle Dynasty, and the iron heart is to fight to the end with the Great Xia Dynasty, Jinling City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, extending in all directions, it is both an advantage and a disadvantage, the defender of the city is the team brought out by Fang La from the southwest, the military advisor Lu Qinghou is known as Xiao Zhuge , Deng Yuanjue is a first-class master, and there is also a Royal Sword Villa under his command, I heard that the owner of the village is surnamed Ning, a Xiushui sword is superb, with 30,000 horses under his command, and the combat power is extraordinary, as well as Liu Yun's 20,000 cavalry, Li Tianding's 20,000 soldiers and horses, Zhang Jian Shen Zhuo's generation is extraordinary, but not to be afraid, plus the naturalization of the rivers and lakes, not to mention there are 120,000 soldiers and horses, the eight gates out of the city have someone to handle, the Qinhuai River has been sealed, Jing'an Division Jinling Station is temporarily in charge of me, I have two contacts, one is now into Zhang Jian's department, one is the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the rest is their own horizontal contact, but the total number should be more than 100 people, if the son needs, just give instructions, let them do their own work is to complete the task and then report level by level. ”

I have to say that Jiang Ning is very satisfied with Zhou Yong's report, because when he came here, the time is uncertain, and it is impossible for Zhou Yong to prepare these things in advance, and the effort is in ordinary times.

"I have a person here who needs to leave Jinling, and before leaving, I need a place to settle down, are you well prepared?" Jiang Ning asked again.

Since Zhou Yong said, if you want to leave Jinling, I am afraid it will be a little difficult in a short time, and it will take time to contact the person who is in Zhang Jian's army.

"I wonder if this friend is a man or a woman? I'm good at planning. Zhou Yong said.

"It's a woman." Jiang Ning is not shy about it: "His identity is special, and the fewer people who know about this matter, the better." ”

"Understand, the inn is not safe, there is a small courtyard behind this house, it is just said that the inner sister is a relative, and when she encounters a disaster, she will temporarily live here, and if you don't get it, please ask the son to size." Zhou Yongdao.

Jiang Ning nodded, and took out a gold brick from the package: "You take this, use it to run in the meantime, prepare a carriage and clothes to pick people up first." ”

"Childe, this is ......" Zhou Yong got up, but he didn't dare to pick up the gold bar, this gold bar is thirty taels to say the least, even if it is enough for one street on this side.

"Take it, you also have a wife and children, do things for me, I can't treat you badly, if there is any surplus, I will give more to my brothers, special period, special treatment." Jiang Ning nodded his gold bars: "Today's accession to the throne by Fang La should be almost over now, from here, you have to cross three or four roads, will there be any situation in the middle?" ”

Zhou Yong said: "Two days ago, the major streets began to be checked, this is the area of Lou Minzhong, this person regards money as his life, with some money, he can always send it over, I still have a passage here, there is a yard across the road, which is used for evacuation, and it is also half a year ago that the second adult specially advised, if he encounters an investigation, he will give him a cunning rabbit three holes." ”

"It's better to think about it." Jiang Ning nodded, Zhou Yong's arrangements were already extremely appropriate, and these checks, if nothing else, should be arresting Lu Yutong.

"Childe wait a moment, I'll go get the carriage, and then go with Childe." Zhou Yong got up, took the gold brick, walked out of the room, and went straight to the backyard.

Two in and two out of the courtyard, the front yard is used for iron, the middle is to meet guests, the back yard is the residence, and there is a small courtyard behind the backyard, only a stone road as a passage.

Jiang Ning changed his clothes, deliberately wiped his face with soot, and the two left the alley with the carriage.

On the street, people came and went, and sometimes one or two groups of soldiers came out of the alley, laughing and playing, and there was no military discipline at all, but it was this group of people who seemed to have no combat effectiveness to take the entire Jinling City without much effort.

Turning the street, the two arrived at the back door of the teahouse, entered the teahouse, and Jiang Ning opened the door with his clothes.

"Coming back?" The moment Jiang Ning closed the door, he suddenly felt a chill behind him, and a cold air ran through Jiang Ning's whole body along this sentence, this voice was so familiar, it was Ning who did not regret it.

After listening for a while, Jiang Ning turned around, but saw that Ning Buregret was holding the Xiushui Sword in his hand, standing less than five zhang away from him, and behind him was the entrance to the basement, which was now covered by a table of eight immortals.

"I'm back, Jinling is so big, there is no place for me to settle in Jiangning." Jiang Ning smiled bitterly and casually threw the package to the ground.

There was also a gold brick in the package, wrapped in clothes, but it did not sink, and then put his hands behind his back.

"Why run? I read what you left behind, it's good, it helps me a lot. Ning Buregret asked, it was obvious that she didn't make the first move, and she was also afraid that Jiang Ning had some kung fu, not to mention that once Jiang Ning resisted, it was very easy to attract the attention of others, and at such a close distance, the space for firearms to play was huge.

Jiang Ning shook his head: "You can see my sincerity, but what about yours?" Why? ”

asked and answered, but threw the question to Ning Buregret.

"You are my captive, do I need to show anything? Not killing you is already a gift to you. Ning Buregret didn't answer positively, although she knew what Jiang Ning was asking.

Jiang Ning laughed and shook his head: "I need you to answer my question head-on, why did this happen?" ”

Ning Buregret's face sank, and he asked rhetorically: "Come with me, I can keep you, if you don't leave, you have to die here, and I will bear all the consequences." ”

This "you" naturally includes Lu Yutong.
