Just after the Si hour, the official boat that Guo Peilin and his party were riding appeared on the river indeed.

The last time I came from Taizhou, there were three boats. With Han Chen joining, there were five boats when he set out from Hai'an. Now there are more than a dozen boats back. Needless to ask, you will know that the ships behind were all gifts from the Ambassadors of the Salt Courses in Huainan and the magistrates of Tongzhou.

As soon as the boat landed, Han Xiufeng limped onto the boat to greet him with a cane.

Guo Peilin laughed and said that he pretended to be quite similar, so he came ashore with him and Han Chen. President Gu and Jing Hua did not dare to neglect them, so they went forward to pay a visit. Guo Peilin bowed and thanked him, and then climbed Fengshan with everyone.

The accompanying friends went up the mountain with the guards. The Zaoli, the umbrella man, and the boatman were welcomed by Gu Jinyan, so Han Xiufeng and others didn't have to worry about it. Unexpectedly, just as soon as Guo Peilin walked into Fengshan Academy, another friend who stayed in Taizhou, who was Pan Er and Guo Peilin, who stayed in Taizhou, arrived. They could imagine that they had received the letter long ago, and they came to report the official affairs of the Tianyunsi Yamen.

However, no matter how busy the official business is, you have to have a meal. The banquet has been prepared long ago. The table is full of rich dishes, but most of them are local local dishes. The remaining few are spicy dishes that Han Xiufeng specially asked the chef to add more peppercorns.

Hai'an couldn't find a good chef. Dean Gu and others thought that using such wine and food to entertain the salt transporter of Lianghuai was too shabby. Unexpectedly, Guo Peilin's appetite increased when he saw the spicy vegetables with sea pepper. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he suggested serving rice, stir-frying meat with sea pepper, stewing fish with sea pepper, and eating two small bowls of rice in a row.

After dinner, he sent Dean Gu and others away. Guo Peilin took the tea from Pan Er and laughed unsatisfiedly: "If you want to eat it, it is better to have a rural local dish to like. Although Yangzhou has lost its despair, the luxury of Yangzhou is still prevalent. Many chefs have gone to Taizhou. The restaurants in Taizhou make all Yangzhou dishes. A piece of tofu can be cut into thousands of shreds, which means it looks good on the table. In fact, what's the point of eating?"

"What Lord Guo said is very true, even the officials are not used to Huaiyang cuisine." Han Chen couldn't help but smile.

Han Xiufeng was about to speak, but Guo Peilin put down the teacup and said, "If you want to say it is delicious, the dishes cooked by Datou are really good. I have eaten them a few times when I was in the capital. Now he has become an official, and it is not suitable for him to cook, so he can't even eat them, hahaha."

"Zhixing, can Datou cook?" Han Chen looked incredible.

Han Xiufeng smiled and said, "In the past, he cooked rice in the guild hall. If you want to cook, I can still cook it. Changsheng also cooks a lot. Who can't do children from poor families?"

"What a poor child. You must not forget your roots in life." Guo Peilin nodded slightly, then turned around and asked, "Changsheng, let's talk about the battle situation first."

"As for the order." Pan Er reacted and hurriedly took out a booklet from his arms and reported the battle situation he had found out these days.

Lei Yicheng and the new governor of the canal transportation, Fu Ji, prepared for a long time. But Minglun even found a 10,000 kilogram of cannon and transported it to the city of Yangzhou. As a result, not only did the city gate be opened, Zhang Yiguo even led 200 townsmen to the Temple of the God of Wealth. Shuanglai had already captured the city tower of the Benyi Gate, but because Qishan and Chen Jinshou remained unmoved, their efforts were in vain.

It is said that Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang, who were invading the capital, were about to reach the Yellow River. Huicheng, the governor of Sichuan who was ordered to lead troops to aid, had already arrived at Shao Bo but stopped moving forward, claiming to guard Shao Bo to prevent the bandits from going north along the canal. The bandits were in the west and he was in the east. How to prevent them?

There was no news about where the bandits in the Western Expedition had been killed, but it was imagined that few of the southern Anhui prefectures and counties along the river should have fallen. The bandits may have already been killed in Jiangxi now...

There was no good news, Guo Peilin frowned when he heard it.

After Pan Er reported the news, he bent down and left, Han Xiufeng put down his teacup and said, "Mr. Guo, what you assigned last time is actually not a matter."

"Yongkuan money?" Guo Peilin asked subconsciously.

"Yeah." Han Xiufeng took out two coins from his pocket and explained: "Actually, this money has been available in the previous dynasty. The 'Yongkuan' and 'Kunyong' are actually the Japanese reign names. I didn't know at first, but later I thought of this kind of thing that those masters who are proficient in the name of punishment should have encountered, so I invited Master Xingming from Zhang Zhigao, the main hall of Taizhou, to come over. I didn't expect that he really knew it."

"The year name of Japan?" Han Chen was surprised.

"That is, the master said that there was an article "My Wife Mirror" in the previous dynasty's "Collection of Zhu Zhu'an", which contained records of the "Preface to the Three Years of Yongkuan". In the "Zhongshan Address Book" by Xu Guangqi of the previous dynasty, there was a record of "the exercise of "Yongkuan Tongbao Money" on the Japanese market. Xu Guangqi once served as the supervisor of the Li Bureau in the third year of Chongzhen and specialized in the revision of the Ming calendar. What he recorded should be facts."

Han Xiufeng paused and then said, "As for the 'Kunyongtongbao' that happened later, it is also a currency circulating on the Japanese market. As early as the Qianlong period, coastal provinces such as Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong were discovered, and it alarmed Emperor Qianlong. He ordered the governors of various provinces to investigate strictly. Later, it was found that it was brought by merchant ships traveling to and from Japan. He also ordered the confiscation and destruction and strictly ordered the maritime merchants to no longer take them privately."

"It's been there for a long time, and I have issued an order. I don't even know this. If I didn't care about it and report it directly, I wouldn't have been laughed at by the adults in Beijing!" Guo Peilin said with laughter and cry.

"Mr. Guo, you read the book of sages before the title of the Golden List. After the title of the Golden List, you entered the Hanlin Academy to observe politics. You are concerned about military and national affairs, and you are not a lawyer who studies law. You don't know that these are normal. What's more, the Fenwei Zhenyuan General's cannon, which was cast under the order of the Jiangsu governor at the time of Daoguang's 23rd, is not many people remember it now, let alone the incident that has happened for more than a hundred years!"

"That's right, just find out the origin, but at least it's a thought." Guo Peilin smiled and then turned around and said, "Changsheng, remember to tell Mr. Yang, asking Mr. Yang to draw a memorandum of money and 400 miles to report to the capital in an urgent manner."

"Affect the order."

Looking at Pan Er's cautious appearance, Han Xiufeng suddenly realized that he was a police officer, and thought about it and said: "Mr. Guo, our Yunshu Yamen not only specializes in Huainan, Huaibei to introduce salt to the public, but also manages Jiangdu, Ganquan, Gaoyou, Baoying, Tianchang, and Taixing six prefectures and counties into the walls and untied them, but also inspects the anti-smuggling affairs of the above six prefectures and counties. As long as it is a private salt case, it must be managed. The old officials who were not moved to Taizhou died or fled, and those who chased Taizhou were useless. I think you really have to hire a rank who is proficient in the name of punishment and is familiar with the place."

Guo Peilin didn't want to make jokes anymore, and he also felt that he should hire an old master of Xingming to postpone his appointment. He subconsciously asked: "Is there any suitable one?"

"Zhang Zhigao is almost out of reach. I'm afraid he can't get through this time. Maybe in the past few days, the famous criminal master who was postponed to take office in Taizhou was proficient in the criminal law and helped Zhang Zhigao take charge of Taizhou's criminal name for almost no mistakes in recent years. As for character, I really don't know much about this."

"As long as you are proficient in the name of punishment, you don't have to let him do anything else."

"Then I'll let him come to see you later."

"Let him come back tomorrow, let's talk about the main business first."

"Okay, let's talk about the salt capture camp first, the Qianzheng, the Qianzheng, the extra Qianzheng, and the extra thousand, and the military officers of the general. You are all the soldiers who have been promoted to the school. All the soldiers are Taiba coolies who have reported to you before, which are temporarily placed in the Jiaoxichang. Now that the farm work is almost done, I'll wait for you to come back and choose a lucky day for the zodiac, and send someone to call them to come to Hai'an to join the camp."

"It's better to choose a date than to meet the date, just tomorrow."

"It's good tomorrow. I'll send someone to the corner and call them to go to the threshing ground tomorrow morning."

"Where is the local hero?" Guo Peilin asked.

Han Xiufeng looked back at Han Chen and continued, "Mr. Guo, I think so, it is not difficult to recruit four or five hundred village warriors at once, but if you recruit them, you have to take care of their food, and even pay them more or less. Otherwise, you will have to practice with the Salt Catching Camp and even go to the battlefield to kill the enemy in the future, but you don't care about the food or pay for them. It doesn't take long. It's estimated that young and strong people will cause trouble in three or five days."

"So," Guo Peilin said, holding the teacup.

"So some time ago, a young man came to join the army, and I confiscated any of them. Instead, I asked the Baojia Bureau and the Baozheng Chief A to come forward to let the villages run a group training, and sent Datou and Jidajier to each village to lead the young man training. There was a group of township heroes, Qutang and Baimi at the Baojia Bureau. In addition, there were more than 400 trainers in each village during this period."

Han Xiufeng paused and then said, "I thought that our transportation department would either not use troops. When it was our transportation department's turn to use troops, it would mean that Yangzhou was not only unable to recover, but the bandits and bandits even came to Taizhou again. More than 200 soldiers in the Salt Capture Camp and more than 400 rural heroes just mentioned were definitely not enough, so I planned to send people to Jiangyan, Anfeng, Fu'an and Jiaoxie to train a regiment, and no matter what, they would have to gather a thousand people."

Thinking that there were thousands of bandits and bandits, if it was the turn of Yunshu to use troops in the future, it would be impossible to take charge of no one thousand soldiers. Guo Peilin pondered and said, "It's not that it's enough to get a thousand, I think it's only more, not less."

Han Chen stood up and bowed, "Then recruit the editors and trainers. Lord Guo, Anfeng, Fu'an and Jiaoxie will hand over to the officials in three games. If the editors and trains within half a year, you will ask if you win the officials!"

"Yuzhi, it's not that I can't trust you, but that I have a specialty in my profession. Let's leave the work of training the local heroes to Zhixing. Besides, your burden is not light. Although the local heroes who practice in various fields and villages do not have to pay any compensation, they cannot be rewarded at all. Otherwise, where will the morale come from, and the food and salary must be provided, and you will be busy next."

"What Mr. Guo said is very true. He is an expert in training and ambition, but his subordinates are ashamed of being inferior to him." Han Chen bowed his hand again and sat down with a smile.

Guo Peilin nodded slightly and asked again: "Zhixing, it is not only easy to organize group training in various venues, but also easy to talk about. Why do you need to go to Jiangyan?"
