Time is like water, and it is July 25 in the blink of an eye.

Huang Jie and Su Niang's family business, because they have a name that is not a marriage but a marriage, naturally needs to be done in a big way. In addition, because of the learning of canned meat technology stranded in Huangzhou around the merchants sensible to join in the fun, so three days in advance the whole city entered a state of carnival, along with nearly 20 or 30 merchants by water to transport a large number of pigs, chickens, ducks, sheep and other livestock, Huangzhou in recent months because of the relief of the homeless, and began to rise meat prices finally began to fall a little.

To say that the most sensitive to the market is naturally none other than businessmen, before Huang Jie invited to come over just put forward a pork just needs, but the caring stewards inquired privately and naturally found that because Huangzhou has borne the burden of relief for more than 20,000 displaced people, even the price of fresh livestock and poultry in the city has risen slightly higher than other places, so they naturally saw the business opportunities here.

This gossip is not much, now the old Huang family shop just sells a taste of sheep soup ramen every day to make a consistent profit, plus the average flow of nearly 100 guan and the net profit of 20 or 30 guan on Shihui Street, not to mention that the recipe that sold canned meat before has a net profit of 100,000 guan, and it can afford to do it in a big way, so the Huang family not only contracted 12 main restaurants in Huangzhou, but also contracted most of the hotels, foot shops and tea houses, and took out 30 pigs more generously, and hired hundreds of people to purchase fresh food and vegetables such as chickens, ducks, fish and sheep. Prepare to hold a long-table banquet in the homeless camp outside Huangzhou on the wedding day, so that the homeless people can also drink a glass of happy wine.

and also deliberately released the news that the fifteen yuan promised by Yao Zheng Yao Zhubo to recruit tea households was actually made by his nephew, Huang Jie, and the tea farm in Huilongshan was actually contracted by the Huang family, which means that this tea household is simply a tenant for the Huang family, and the absolute drought and flood guarantee income.

In the past few months, the matter about Huang Jie has naturally spread among the homeless, not to mention anything else, just the name of the head of a county trial, and then a Dongpo meat was given as a tribute by the imperial edict, and the official family of the Son of Heaven also gave the descendants of Sumen to marry him, this Huang Jie really has the halo of the protagonist is already convinced.

Now that the news has come out, it has been the Huang family's tea farm recruiting tenants for a long time, so what are the concerns, the official government's Hades account can't afford it, this Huang Xiucai Huang Dashan can't help but repay it!

Now this Huang Jie advocates relief, and is not afraid of danger and goes down to the city alone to appease the displaced people, and even the fish and pickles added to the bowl of the displaced people in the first few days of disaster relief are not a secret donated by Huang Jie, and the official road repair project that has now been repaired to Gwangju is also his advocate and donated a lot of silver as wages, it can be said that tens of thousands of displaced people in Huangzhou City owe him favors.

Not to mention, now the more than 400 transfer errands in the Huangzhou transfer yamen who are paid two yuan a month are almost all the children of the homeless people, so this kind of news has spread rapidly, and many people are ready to go to the transfer yamen to sign up after drinking the wedding wine and go to the Huang family as a tea household.

Huang Jie is not idle, although this marriage is also a meal of wine, but many interpersonal contacts have to come forward in person, especially the housekeepers sent back the secret recipe of canned meat and the news that Huang Jie is about to get married, many merchants feel that this is an opportunity to get close, and they have also rushed to come in person, these people naturally want Huang Jie to come to receive in person.

There is also this Su Lianniang is Su Che's granddaughter, Su Che's brother is Su Shi again, and he has also mixed in Huangzhou officialdom, so this marriage is also an extremely important cultural exchange activity for Huangzhou's officialdom and literary circles, not to mention the Hongwen Museum where Huang is outstanding, as well as the Huanggang County School that he is currently studying, not to mention the rural idleness in Huangpi, Macheng and other places, even the readers in Guangzhou and Qichun and other places have also found excuses to gather in Huangzhou, looking for an opportunity to see if they can get ahead with a sour essay or a sour poem.

Of course, these are all in the question, and Huang Jie didn't expect to be able to break off these worldly things, the only thing that made him feel at ease was the itinerary of Tong Guan's army. But for some reason, although the imperial court newspaper was still sent on schedule, it was impossible to detect Tong Guan's behavior now, only that the vanguard of Tong Guan's army arrived in Caizhou on July 18, and there was no news in the past few days.

But sometimes, the more you worry about bad news, the more bad news comes.

At the beginning of the afternoon of July 25, a team of 600 miles of expedited military post brought the latest instructions from Tong Guan, the envoy of Xuanfu Preparation: The imperial decree ordered Yao, the envoy of Huangzhou to transfer to the waterway, to immediately organize 5,000 stone of grain, 10,000 quintals of forage, and 20,000 cans of canned meat, and to escort them to the city of Anqing Mansion before August 15.

When I asked the military post who had ordered the order, I learned that the defeat of Huang Gui on July 13 naturally caused the anger of the imperial court, and the official family, who had never been in charge of affairs, heard that he was so angry that he smashed something on the Jinluan Palace, and ordered someone to slap the privy deputy envoy who stayed behind, so the Privy Council issued four urgent orders to Tong Guan no longer to go through Huangzhou, but to Caizhou and turn south directly, and go straight to Anqing Mansion.

Therefore, on the 18th day of July, after the vanguard of the army arrived in Caizhou, they cut off the channel and changed to take the path of Xincai, Gushi, Lu'an, and Sucheng to Anqing Mansion, and it was a rapid march. Calculating the distance, now I am afraid that I have already passed Lu'an, and it is more than 200 miles away from Anqing Mansion at most.

However, Tong Guan actually did not forget Yao Zheng and Huang Jie, the two uncles and nephews, and actually personally issued a military order in his busy schedule, asking Yao Zheng, a temporary waterway transfer, to organize the army to be sent to Anqing City, and the time limit given was only twenty days, which was about to be killed.

When Huang Jie got the report of Yao Bo, the official of Yao's mansion, and hurried to the Huangzhou Mansion, he saw that the inner hall was full of the chief officials of the Huangzhou Mansion, Hu Yu, the small charge, and Yao Rong, the big charge, and the main seat sat on the general judge Chen Mingde and Cao Zhizhou lying on the bamboo couch, which can be regarded as all the people.

It stands to reason that this kind of military should not have called Huang Jie to attend the meeting, but Huang Jie is the owner of the canned meat workshop after all, and this Yao Zheng's Huangzhou waterway transfer envoy Yamen is also specially opened for the transfer of canned meat, so this matter naturally can't spare him.

After entering the ceremony, Huang Jie didn't dare to say much, but listened to his uncle and their discussion, roughly Tong Guan's military order did not exceed his authority or have any administrative problems, Tong Guanling's official position is to make the Xuanfu system and place the envoy, and it is expedient to deal with Xuanfu matters, and the military strategy previously set is to attack Anqing Mansion with the Wuwei Army on the east and west, and the West Route Army led by Tong Guan was originally set to settle in Huangzhou, and then Yanchang Jiang advanced all the way to the city of Anqing Mansion, and formed a joint encirclement with the Wuwei Army on the East Road to the stone-breaking army of Anqing Mansion.

It's just that now the Wuwei army is greedy for merit, and it actually preemptively besieged the city, not to mention, and was defeated in the middle of the siege on the day of the siege, so Tong Guan had to change the original military strategy under the pressure of the imperial court and the Privy Council, and went straight to Anqing Mansion, and then asked Huangzhou to transport the grain and grass prepared before to Anqing Mansion, which is not inappropriate.

The only problem now is: how to safely transport 5,000 stones of grain, 10,000 quintals of forage, and 20,000 cans of canned meat, and whether Yao Zheng, a genuine master and part-time transfer envoy, should go over in person.
