"Oh, Xiao Langjun is also from Shaanxi?" The older man asked, surprised.

"No, as I said earlier, I am a native of Linqing, Shandong, but I have stayed in Datong for many years, and I have also accompanied my father to Zhenchuan Fort through Fort Hu, Luoquanbao, Laoniuwan Fort and Jian'an Fort through Fort Hu. One line," Feng Ziying explained with a smile.

The three men were taken aback, the addresses Feng Ziying mentioned were all important places on the nine sides, from Datong Town through Shanxi Town to Yulin Town, and it was these forts along the line that built the strongest defense line against the Tatars.

The older man couldn't help but stand up and glanced at Feng Ziying, "I didn't expect Xiao Langjun to be young and young, but he could stuff a line along this side, it's rare, it's the first time I've heard that someone is willing to walk along this line, except for us martial artists." ”

"Don't dare, my father Feng Tang, I'm studying in Guozijian now." Feng Ziying will not be hypocritical, the best strategy for dealing with these martial artists is to go straight, so that it is easier to win their recognition and respect.

"It turned out to be Lang Jun of Gong Feng's family, and he was disrespectful." The older man was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to salute again, "In Xia Yulin Town, you Shigong is guarded, and the two of them are a certain brother You Shiwei You Shilu, both of whom are the general manager of a certain subordinate. ”

The other two also hurried to greet them.

"You Shoubei is too polite, Xiaosheng is just a student, where can he afford You Shoubei's courtesy?" Feng Ziying hurriedly avoided it, and gave up her hand again and again, "I am also from a martial arts background, and I have no merit or fame, so we might as well hand it over, how about it?" ”

You Shigong is also a cheerful person, seeing Feng Ziying's sincerity, he was not polite, and nodded: "That is the case, then You Mou respects Xiaolangjun's intentions." ”

"Brother You is also on business trip to Jingshi City?" Feng Ziying motioned for each to take their seats and asked with a smile.

Since they are all from martial arts, although it is said that the Feng family is after Wuxun, after all, there is more martial artist relationship, and they are much closer.

In addition, Feng Tang has served as a general soldier in Datong for many years, and the three brothers of the Feng family have been operating in the border areas of Datong for decades, and they have a deep relationship.

Although Feng Tang is idle now, it is also common for such high-level generals to rise and fall, and maybe they will return to the general army tomorrow, so the three brothers of You Shigong are naturally willing to get acquainted with this kind of martial arts.

"Xiao Langjun has been in the border town for a long time, I am afraid that he should also know, our Yulin Town has been in arrears for three years, and there was a shortage of thirty percent of the military rations in the winter last year, and the brothers below have been unable to survive, and there are many fugitives, no, appointed by the assistant general and the general, You Mou also came to Beijing to ask for food, don't hide it from Xiao Langjun, our batch is the third batch, and I also met two colleagues from Gansu Town in the next room, hehe, they are all here to urge food and pay."

Seeing the bitterness and helplessness on the faces of the three You brothers, Feng Ziying was also taken aback.

Of course, he knew that the Kaizhong Law discussed in the academy was also aimed at the issue of military food security, and the same reason for the change of the people in the Qing Dynasty was because the emperor wanted to use tax supervisors to directly collect taxes and pay military salaries for the nine sides?

But where did the one hundred thousand taels of silver pay for the entire Nine Sides? To put it mildly, you immediately have 10 million taels of silver in front of you, and you can't fill the needs of the nine sides, not to mention where there may be 10 million taels of silver in the inner treasury?

Now the countermeasure of the imperial court is to protect Xuanda Ji first, then Liaodong and Shanxi, as for Yulin, Ningxia, Guyuan and Gansu towns, they are all ranked last, anyway, even if the Tatars come in from there, they will not be able to threaten the Jingshi for a while.

This is also one of the main reasons why Feng Tang is reluctant to go to Yulin, if he goes, he has to worry about military salaries, food and grass, and such things are almost in front of him and are unsolvable problems.

Northern Shaanxi is barren, the people are fierce, and the Tatars come and go like the wind, and there is no way to guarantee military food and salary, even if you, the chief military officer, are not worried, and even can make money, but Feng Tang is also unwilling to be this kind of official, maybe one day he mutinies, and he doesn't know if his head is hanging on the city wall.

"You should go to the household department to urge food and salary, why did you come to Wang Shilang's side?" Feng Ziying asked.

"Hmph, where will those officials of the household department take us big soldiers in their eyes, even if the assistant chief soldier comes, he will be turned away, and I will just go through the motions when I come, besides, everyone knows that the household department is empty, and it will be in vain to go."

You Shigong has been in Jingshi City for a few days, although it is during the spring break, but there are still personnel on duty in each yamen, the question is whether it is the same.

Besides, it is the right thing for a soldier to find the military department, but the household department does not, and your military department must always give an explanation.

It's a matter of course to be a soldier and eat food, and you can't let the big-headed soldiers guard the wall and the northwest wind over there, right? The military salary can be endured after a delay, but when you can't even eat enough, then something will really happen.

"Even if Xiao Shangshu doesn't care about this now, then you should also go to Zhang Shilang." Feng Ziying continued to ask.

You Shigong didn't expect this Xiao Langjun to be so proficient in the affairs of the DPRK and China, and he thought a little more highly of the other party, "Lord Zhang has been there, but I haven't been able to see him for two days, and besides, Wang Shilang is also from our martial arts background, so I can understand the difficulties of the people below us, how does Lord Zhang know this?" I'm afraid that we may not even know where our Yulin Town is, right? ”

couldn't help but complain twice, as soon as the words came out, he felt a little inappropriate, You Shigong regretted it a little, as soon as these words spread out, as long as these small-minded civil officials were suspicious, they were afraid that they would not be able to eat and leave.

Feng Ziying didn't expect that Zhang Jingqiu, who he thought had a good performance, would have such a bad image in the minds of the generals below, but Wang Ziteng and other martial arts seemed to be more recognized by the generals in the border towns, which was greatly beyond his expectations.

You must know that Wang Ziteng, the right attendant of the military department, actually can't take care of anything, and it is clear inside and outside the court that the regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty are like this, but these border town generals are happy to come to him, which is a bit intriguing.

Feng Ziying was a little distracted for a while, and the three You brothers were suddenly silent when they saw each other, and they didn't know what the other party meant, and they didn't dare to disturb, so they could only remain silent.

After a while, Feng Ziying suddenly woke up and quickly apologized: "Three big brothers, I suddenly thought of something, I was distracted, I'm really sorry,......"

You Shigong was still a little worried because of his gaffe, but seeing Feng Ziying so sincere, his heart was relieved, "Xiao Langjun is too polite, I don't know if Xiao Langjun came to see Wang Shilang today?" ”

"Well, it's true that I want to see Wang Shilang, and Wang Shilang can be regarded as a friend of my family, so it is also appropriate to come to visit during this spring break." Feng Ziying smiled and said, "The three eldest brothers are afraid that they will stay in the capital for a few days now, right?" ”

"I'm afraid it won't work, it's been seven or eight days, it's useless for us to sit here for a long time for such things, it's nothing more than to report a message to the imperial court, a reminder, hum, I hope the imperial court can understand the difficulties of me and other people below, don't keep ,...... like this" You Shigong shook his head, and then said: "I originally planned to see Wang Shilang today, take a walk in the capital city tomorrow, and plan to go back the day after tomorrow." ”

"That being the case, the three eldest brothers are also fated to see each other here today, or the three eldest brothers leave an address, and when this is the case, the younger brother will come to visit the three eldest brothers,......"

Feng Ziying's words surprised the three brothers of You Shigong, this civil and martial arts path, literati have always looked down on martial artists, although they are also an official, but their fathers are all people who don't like to do it, and now they are studying in Guozijian, I am afraid that they will take the road of civil officials in the future, but they will come to visit a few of their big-headed soldiers in the poor countryside, so how to make it?

But people have such an attitude, if they don't respond, it is not appropriate, You Shigong sighed slightly, and said: "I can't afford Xiao Langjun to show love like this, I should have come to visit Feng Gongcai, why don't my three brothers come to visit Feng Gong tomorrow in the Zun Mansion,......"

What she wanted was the other party's words, Feng Ziying smiled very happily on her face, "The three eldest brothers can come, presumably my father is also very happy, then it is decided, tomorrow morning my father and I will wait at home for the three of us to come,......"

After another period of greetings and detailed conversations, Prince Tengchang came to summon Feng Ziying, Feng Ziying also confessed to the three of them, and told them again, and then got up and went to see Wang Ziteng.

There were only the three You brothers left in the room, and You Shigong's previous smile slowly disappeared, and the two younger brothers also knew that this matter was not so simple, but You Shilu couldn't help it: "Big brother, why is this Feng family Xiaolangjun so polite to us?" ”

"Well, Brother Wei is also thinking about this." You Shigong shook his head, "You and my brother are just a martial artist, even if they are placed in Yulin Town, it is nothing, this Feng Langjun is talented, but I never thought that he was the son of Feng Gong, and I have heard that Feng Gong has one line and three rooms, and only one son-in-law, but it is such a courtesy to my three brothers, but it is incomprehensible." ”

"Isn't that Duke Feng intending to come to our Yulin as the chief soldier?" You Shilu's eyes lit up.

"There is this possibility, we are now the assistant general soldier is afraid that he is afraid that he will not dare to carry things, for the sake of his brother's words and deeds, I am afraid that I am looking forward to the imperial court to send someone as soon as possible, he can hand over this hot work like coals, if Feng Gong can come to Yulin, it is also a good thing, I heard that Feng Gong is also quite popular with the army in Datong." You Shigong hesitated for a moment, "It's just that there are a lot of generals in Datong Town who transferred us from Yulin Town, and it seems that he can't afford to be so valued by this Feng Langjun as a brother." ”

"Brother, why should he be arrogant? This Yulin Town raised his fingers and counted, how many generals like my brother are capable of writing and martial arts and are from martial arts? This time it was You Shiwei who was upset for his brother, "That Feng Gong really came to Yulin Town, if he wants to make a difference in Yulin Town, he must also use talents like his brother." ”
