At this time, the Curse Forbidden Division was finally no longer two or three kittens, and some thirteen or fourteen-year-old children with spiritual power had been picked up, and the number exceeded thirty.

Of course, these children can really become talents, but I am afraid that there is not one tenth, but there are many periods.

Su'er and Tong Xuan Pingzhen are three, waiting.

A moment later, a Jiupin official from the Secret Literature Pavilion came over, and this person made up his mind and held up a scroll of metaphor orders: "The Marquis of Shu has an order!"

Su'er, Tongxuan, and Pingzhen knelt down.

The official of the Secret Literature Pavilion unfolded the Yu Order, the format of this volume was actually similar to the Holy Decree, three feet long and one foot wide, but it was made of red silk, and in the eyes of Su Er and Tong Xuan, there was a red cloud on it, and the silk was permeated.

"You are loyal to your duties, and you have made meritorious contributions to the construction of the Praise and Loyalty Shrine in various counties and counties, and you will be promoted to the first rank of the Curse Forbidden Division, the eighth rank of the Curse Forbidden Doctor, the ninth grade of the Curse Forbidden Master, the Curse Forbidden Scholar is equivalent to the Order, and the Curse Forbidden Apprentice is equivalent to the Warden, this order!"

The following inscription seal, but it was "Carrying the Marquis of Shu", and the three of them immediately kowtowed: "Yes!"

As soon as the words fell, the slightest white gas permeated everyone, Su'er was originally the ninth grade, and now it is the eighth grade, and the luck has more than doubled, and the peace of Tongxuan is really from the ninth grade, and at this time it has become the ninth grade, and the luck has also increased by fifty.

The three of them all showed a hint of joy, this grade is the provision that can be obtained, and after raising it by one level, there are many things that this yamen can do.

However, Su'er lives in the inner palace, and the luck she gets is not only this.

Su'er rolled up this life, put it in the hall to make offerings, turned around and said: "Tongxuan, the Marquis of Shu is concerned about Jingzhou, you also follow this time to have a look, and see what people are in Jingzhou." ”

Tong Xuan listened, bowed slightly, and smiled: "Dare to disobey?"

Su Er nodded and said, "Our company has some contact with the Thirteenth Division, this time the Thirteenth Division sent someone to follow Zhang Fan straight to Jingzhou, and you will go with it...... By the way, what kind of character is this Fan Zhi?

Tong Xuan looked up and thought about it, and said: "This will have a good face, he can be the governor of the capital, he is a general, don't be suspicious!"

Su'er said no more, got up and left.

Three days later, Zhang Fanzhi, who was clearly ordered to recruit and inspect the heavy responsibility, left Chengdu Mansion and went to Jingzhou.

There is also a caravan with him, and the caravan is from the Song family, but there are naturally people from the Thirteen Divisions in it, and there are Tongxuan in the accompanying ones.

Along the way, there was a smooth passage and a boat ride down the river.

Jingzhou people are outstanding, rich in products, have a long history, splendid culture, since ancient times, there is a cultural state, the reputation of the land of fish and rice, the ship goes straight down, and it arrives at Jiangling.

Jiangling has long been the capital of Chu "Ying", and has existed as the seat of Jingzhou for a long time, and is often called Jiangling with "Jingzhou".

Chu, or where the dragon qi of Jingzhou is located, is Jiangling.

As soon as I got ashore, I saw that at this time, the huge wharf was very prosperous.

But as soon as they got ashore, several patrolmen came up to them and shouted to stop.

The patrol captain, who looked to be in his thirties, had a long beard, looked up and down the group with sharp eyes, and shouted: "Stop, who are you, which chamber of commerce?"

"General!" The captain of the caravan led by him hurriedly greeted him, and said with a grin: "We are Beifu Laoxing, specializing in tea business, and we are going to Yangzhou...... Passing by your treasure land, stay overnight and leave...... Our chamber of commerce has already registered here, and this is the road guide - please check it. ”

The captain of the patrol inspected the road guide certificate, which had three marks on it, but did not return the road guide and looked at it over and over.

The captain of the caravan was not in a hurry, took out a string of money from his waist and handed it to the captain of the patrol, and said with a smile: "The ship has carried some goods, but most of them are empty, and when you come back, you will enter tea and tea bricks...... This means that I would like to have a cup of tea with you and you, and if you are not at ease, come with us and check it again. ”

"You know. The captain of the patrol took the string of money and said with a smile to the patrolman: "It's a serious businessman, let's go somewhere else!"

Then he took the people and went.

Zhang Fanzhi didn't speak, just looked at this familiar and unfamiliar city, showed a wry smile, and saw that the patrol was far away, so he took people and walked all the way forward.

I found a medium-sized shop "Zhu Lou" inn, this store has rooms upstairs, a hotel downstairs, people go in and out, and the eight immortals are wine guests on the table, selling singing, boxing, and noisy.

The group followed Xiao Er to the upstairs house and rented four rooms.

Tong Xuan, Zhang Fanzhi, and the serious captain of the caravan gathered together and discussed briefly.

"Lord Zhang, when you arrive in Jiangling, there is a local Qian Ji trading house, which is a small business house, not attracting attention, you are now the dart master invited by this caravan, the people of the thirteen divisions are your guards, and someone will contact you later, you must remember. The caravan captain said, "I can only stay here for one day, and I will go to Yangzhou tomorrow." ”

"I don't care, there's my receiver here. Tong Xuan whispered.

The caravan captain nodded, took out a box, and saw that the dumplings inside were arranged in a dense row, all of which were silver ingots with white flowers, and the crystals were shining and dazzling.

"Ten taels for each ingot, one box is one hundred taels, according to the prior instructions, please take half of each. ”

I took out two more boxes, opened them, and saw golden gold bars inside: "Lord Zhang, this is the gold given to you by the main bus, three hundred taels of gold!"

Zhang Fanzhi was in an instant, and his eyes were a little straight, three hundred taels of gold is three thousand taels of silver.

Zhang Fanzhi has been working with water thieves all the time, and knows that the life of water thieves is very hard. The source of income is only to rob the goods of some merchant ships and sell them for some money, the problem is that the looted property has to endure the exploitation of black market merchants, and can only be sold for about 30% of the price.

On the whole, ordinary water thieves just eat with their mouths, and the little leader also gets more than a dozen yuan a year, and only a few thousand yuan in profit a year, and it is already very heavy to take these three hundred taels of gold as a gift.

Zhang Fanzhi picked up the gold and said, "This is my original hometown, I know it very well, don't worry." ”

Tong Xuan accepted fifty taels of silver, heavy, and said with a smile: "With this money, it is enough, this Jiangling is still very prosperous!"

"Jiangling is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south. The captain of the Chamber of Commerce sighed and said: "This is all for the purpose of fighting, building a water division and building an army, which one does not cost money?"

"Hmph, these checkpoints have long been controlled by the local wealthy families, and half of the money obtained can fall to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, even if it is good, if it is not, we will not be so easy to pass through unimpeded. Zhang Fanzhi was a familiar person and said with a sneer.

After sneering, he remembered the battle of Wuling again, and knew that the two counties of Jiangling and Wuling had fallen into the hands of Zheng Pingyuan, who rewarded 30,000 taels of silver to the navy, and promoted many sailor generals.

How could he not know about the situation of the Jingzhou Water Division?

There is only one reason for the great victory of the Jingzhou Navy Division this time, that is, he was an old friend in the past, and he was reinstated by the governor of the capital.

In this case, being a lobbyist by yourself is afraid that the effect will be very powerful.

Originally, they were just gentlemen's friends, and these friends used to say that their situation was not much better than their own, but now they are back in power, each for their own master, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be persuaded to abandon the official position and leave.

However, Zhang Fanzhi believes that it is true that Zheng Pingyuan hired some talents from poor families, but it is impossible to squeeze out all the children of wealthy families, so the position is limited, and it is indispensable.

"Zheng Pingyuan is indeed a hero, but only my lord is Allah, and the lord is eclectic, loves the people like sons, and implements benevolent government! We people have been running around outside for a long time, and we feel more and more like this!" At this time, the hundred households of the thirteen divisions accompanying him said with a smile.

"You're right. Zhang Fan thought of what he had encountered in Jingzhou in the past, and he agreed with it.

The talents you know will definitely not be all used by Zheng Pingyuan, there will always be some talents who will be buried, and you can be invited to the Shu army at this time.

Zhang Fanzhi has a fire in his heart, this time not only to complete the trust of the lord, but also to persuade some old friends who are still unwilling to abandon the secret and turn to the light.

However, he also knew that Zheng Pingyuan was powerful, so he didn't dare to startle the snake, and said to the accompanying thirteen divisions and hundreds of households: "You can't start here easily, I'll give you a list, and you send someone to secretly inquire about the news on this list, and mark those who are promoted and those who are not promoted." ”

As he spoke, he took out a roll of paper with thirty names on it.

"Zhang Dudu rest assured, this list will only take seven days, and it will be fully investigated. The thirteen divisions and hundreds of households took it, swept their eyes, and said.

"Well, but we have to go to Dongming Lake first, Zheng Pingyuan is still very powerful, we can't startle the snake, wait for us to recruit the navy, and then make contact with each other on the return trip, and then return to the division. Zhang Fanzhi still said very shrewdly.

What Zhang Fan wanted to recruit this time was the water thieves in Dongming Lake.

Xing Dahai, the leader of the water thieves, has some friendship with him and has a very good relationship, and he went to persuade him, and he was seven or eight points sure that there were about 1,000 people who got this water thief.

The accompanying thirteen divisions and hundreds of households, just escorted all the way and secretly supervised, as for how Zhang Fanzhi completed this task, it had nothing to do with them, they didn't have to pay attention to it.

At that moment, the three of them divided into three ways, each of them said goodbye and went out, each carrying out its own task.

Waiting for Zhang Fanzhi and Tong Xuan to leave, the captain of the Chamber of Commerce breathed a sigh of relief and went out to order, Xiao Er listened to the order, and was busy fetching water for him to wash his face and feet.

The captain of the Chamber of Commerce washed up, cleaned up, and then went downstairs to eat.

A few people from the Chamber of Commerce booked a table, and one person saw the hall full of laughter and laughter, so he smiled and said to the captain: "They finally left, to be honest, every time I walk with these people, I feel uncomfortable." ”

The captain also smiled bitterly and said, "No way, who told our boss to have an order?

"That's what I said!" A few other people couldn't help laughing, and when they were about to say more, the runner came up with a large plate of steaming wine and food, and then stopped talking at the moment, one of them raised his glass and said with a smile: "But it's finally done, come, I toast you!"

said that he raised a glass to the captain, and the captain drank it in one gulp, and also stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, and he really felt relaxed in his heart.
