Jiang Wei ended his year-long trip to Jiangdu and embarked on the Wuguan Road to return to Guanzhong in October.

Compared with the post houses and pavilions created last winter, after a year of development, the bandits and mountain people in the Wuguan Road area have either been absorbed and disintegrated, or moved to more remote mountains.

As a result, the pavilions along the way are safe, and civil structures have been built everywhere instead of the rows of wooden houses that were in the nature of barracks last year.

After passing the Lantian Pass, Jiang Wei settled in Lanxi Station.

Like all the previous pavilions, Jiang Wei, who was the lieutenant of Bapin County, registered his identity information first, and he was accompanied by two relatives. Although it is Jiang Wei's private ministry, they still have a personal long book.

Here, the post chief carefully examines the passage book of Jiang Wei's master and servant, Jiang Wei is an official after all, and there are descriptions related to Jiang Wei's physical appearance in the passage book.

The post chief carefully observed Jiang Wei for a moment before he took up the pen and registered the information on the bamboo slips: "Tianshui Jiang Wei Bo is about to go to Huashan to serve as the county lieutenant of Zhengbapin, and the two of them Jiang Peng and Zhao Ju will be given rations from Jiupin." Another five good horses......"

Each horse has identity information, and it is stamped on the buttocks in the form of fire seals, and here the post chief inspected the five good horses accompanying Jiang Wei and registered the words of the horses.

Every kiosk where you stay overnight, as well as the street kiosk and Guanjin that must pass through, must do this kind of information registration...... It is the same as registering a license plate number.

If the horse is lost, or stolen, and there are all kinds of disputes, this is evidence of the dispute.

After completing the registration, the post chief said: "Mr. Jiang, as usual, three horses of forage will be allocated, and the other two forage needs to be purchased separately by Mr. Jiang." Several households outside the pavilion have forage, does the gentleman buy it himself, or does the clerk buy it on his behalf? ”

It's winter, and the snow covers the mountain tops far and near, and there is no suitable forage in the wild.

Now there are two kinds of forage, one is the green dry fodder harvested and dried in the summer of Tingyi, which is public; One is the forage harvested by the people around the pavilion, which is private forage that can be bought and sold freely.

Along the way, Jiang Wei was used to paying extra forage for two horses, but his heart was heavy: "Is it to collect new money, or is it a straight hundred and old money?" ”

Different pavilions have different ways of selling grass, and some pavilions only charge new money...... If you don't have new money, you can exchange the old money and buy it again with new money. This money exchange process is naturally not an official one-to-three, but one-to-four.

The forage that can be circulated and sold is private, and people refuse to accept old money, so you can't rob it?

It's already winter, and the forage is only a few dollars? Where are the horses expensive?

Along the way, Jiang Wei has already spent forty new dollars because of the forage money for the extra two horses...... Not expensive, very cheap. But if you exchange the old money for the new money and buy it again, it will cost 16,000 dollars.

The post chief smiled when he heard this: "It's better to have new money, a bunch of grass is worth two cents, and three bunches of grass are worth five cents." ”

Jiang Wei bowed slightly, Jiang Peng on his side took out his purse, and rubbed out five golden new money with his thumb from it, and the post chief caught it and said: "Sir, Lanxi Station is different from the pavilions and posts in the south, and the building is insufficient, so I am afraid that Mr. will be wronged to live in the same room with others." ”

Jiang Peng just stuffed his purse into his arms and was surprised when he heard this: "Why is this?" ”

The post chief glanced at Jiang Wei, who was silent, and laughed: "When I went to the old man to beg for thieves, the army was stationed south of Tunshangluo, so there were many leftover houses. After breaking through Lantian Pass, the army went straight into the pass, and there was no barracks to build in the north of Lantian Pass. In addition, after passing the Lanxi Station, there is Qipanling, which is a small post, and there are always few tourists who stop there. ”

Jiang Wei is different from Jiang Wei, who has a slender body and a heroic face, while Jiang Peng is five short and has a dark face, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but complain in a low voice, muttering something about Lantian Dayi, and a female Lu and the like.

There are three kinds of pavilions in Wuguan Road, one is a big post in the prosperous area, one is the pavilion in the transportation hub, equipped with the security force of catching thieves, and the other is a small post, which is the scale of seven or eight households gathering and living.

At night, Jiang Wei personally fed the horses in the stable, and the mountain wind blew and the snowflakes drifted.

He couldn't help but think of the events of that day again, and he always felt a little unreasonable.

In fact, the policy for Yizhou Haoqiang has reached the moment of change. How can Yizhou Haoqiang continue to take advantage, not only can the local annexation become bigger, but also continue to stuff people into the DPRK.

From the perspective of the Han Sanxing, the people who shed the most blood were the Jingzhou people, the Guanlong people and the Yi soldiers. In terms of actual merits, although the Yizhou soldiers sacrificed a lot, they did not fight a key decisive battle to turn the situation around.

Besides, Yizhou soldiers are Yizhou soldiers, and Yizhou Haoqiang are two different things.

The Yizhou soldiers in the Han army sequence generally have Jingzhou people as military officials, and even if they have merit, the credit is also on the heads of these Jingzhou military officials.

The credit of Yizhou Haoqiang is to cooperate with the donation of materials, that's all.

Therefore, when the imperial court was disarming and recuperating on a large scale last year, it should have dealt with Yizhou, but it was always delayed.

These Yizhou people have lived a good year in vain, and they don't know how to cherish it, but they also attack and think that it was Guan Long's Lang official who bewitched the general.

What kind of character is a general, how can he be deceived by ordinary officials?

What's even more unreasonable is that this group of Yizhou people actually took the initiative to roll up their sleeves and want to talk with their fists...... It's just stupid and excessive, no matter whether you win or lose, it will not affect the government.

But these people did it so simply, and now in retrospect, there is a feeling of sending a knife to the general to kill people.

Li Miao, who is the leader on the other side, has a great background, is this Li Miao's decision without authorization, or has he been instructed by some means? Or is it purely because the people of Yizhou guessed and deliberated on the prime minister's intentions, so they wanted to deliberately expand the incident?

Unexpectedly, General Wei Zhao Yun's reaction was also very fast, and the brawl was quelled before Lang Guan drew his sword and fight.

What is the prime minister's mind?

Jiang Wei gathered his sheepskin shawl and looked up at the lead-colored clouds, and the fine snowflakes fell on his face and melted.

Although I have never seen the prime minister, there are all kinds of signs that the prime minister has a large amount of weapons, and he is also a person with a common heart, and he must know the benefits after the collapse of Yizhou Haoqiang; If the opportunity is right, if there is no general, the prime minister will also clean up Yizhou Haoqiang.

Now is the prime minister cooperating with the general to dismantle Yizhou Haoqiang in one fell swoop, or is he inviting Yizhou Haoqiang to represent the hearts of the people of Yizhou?

After all, he hadn't seen the prime minister, Jiang Wei thought about it alone, and walked back to the building, stomped his feet to shake off the snow at the door, and reminded the other officials who stayed with him inside.

He then pushed the door open, and the fire in the house still had the smoke left over from the burning kang at night.

The fuel source is simple, it is the horse manure in the stable of the post house, mixed with the leftover forage, dried and stored, which is the fuel for the fire kang in winter.

The ash from the ondol is then filled into the public toilets to disinfect and kill insects, which is a source of fertilizer.

It's just because of the unique smoke of horse manure that Jiang Wei's battlefield memories were stimulated.

Fresh, semi-dried horse manure has always been the easiest to obtain on the battlefield as a toxic smoke material, whether it is to obscure the vision or to make smoke miasma, as long as there is a condition, it will be smoked.

When Jiang Wei came in, the official who wrote in front of the oil lamp inside was dressed in a sheepskin shirt and bowed his hand: "Langya Wang Yuanbo is polite." ”

"One day, Shui Jiang Boyo met Mr. Wang."

Jiang Weishili saw Wang Xiong stretching out his arms and pointing at the fire kang and said: "I heard that the foot is from Jiangdu, and Wang happened to be in the court on a business trip, and he was about to ask for advice." ”

"Mr. Wang, please."

Jiang Wei took off his sheepskin shawl and accepted Wang Xiong's questioning.

He had heard of Wang Xiong's deeds, although he felt a little distressed to be in the same room with this person, but after all, it was Tian Xin's side who participated in politics from the fourth grade, and he was the backbone of the Political Division, and he was the fastest among the generals.

Other generals are generally attendants of the sixth-rank squire, or senators from the fifth-rank council; There is no real job in the five products.
