There is a reason why Han Xiufeng asked Yu Youfu to go to the capital, because the Tongzhi on the south bank of Yongding River that he is now doing is not much different, and he cannot know nothing about what happened in the court.

Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei and other fellow villagers can help inquire about the news, but after inquiring, someone must send the news to Gu'an. Little Shandong is not only young but also an outsider, so it is just right to let Yu Youfu, who is both reliable and stayed in the capital.

Everything was arranged. Just when the youngest girl coaxed the little guy to the front yard to play and let Han Xiufeng and Qin'er reunite in the inner house, Sushun, who had just finished inspecting the Heying camp, also rushed to the capital. He didn't even go back to his home and went straight to the Old Summer Palace to hand in the sign to ask for a visit.

Xianfeng was listening to the opera, but as soon as he heard the eunuch in the press office report, he summoned Sushun to see him.

Sushun rushed along the way, and had no time to write a memorial, and could not write a memorial on the horse's back, so he bowed to report on his experiences on this trip.

"Pick a strong man, take his simple and wild, remove his light and smooth, take his real and prevent his impersonation, take his mutual protection and strictly escape from private..."

"They all call for good people, all honest and reliable people?"

"That's right," Su Shun peeked at the famous actors on the stage, and then said: "The slaves were the ones who watched the gentry send the young and strong into the camp with their own eyes. They were all carefully selected by the villages of Wanping, Gu'an and Yongqing. Han Si was also a soldier who could train troops. With the perspective of a slave, he could form an army."

"How can you train troops?" Xianfeng asked curiously while watching the show.

"Your Majesty, I said you can't believe that in order to let the newly-engraved soldiers and brave soldiers join the battle in a month, Han Si ordered Yongxiang and others to beat drums outside the camp, fire guns and cannons, shout and kill, and even lit dozens of bonfires in the fields around the barracks, scaring the soldiers and brave soldiers to run away with their heads..."

Xianfeng asked Han Si about his good intentions and couldn't help but turn back and smiled: "It's a blessing that it's in Gu'an. If it were put in the capital, God knows how much trouble it will cause."

"Yes, the emperor, even in Gu'an, the slaves were worried. After all, the camp was not a joke. After thinking about it, the slaves simply ordered Wu Tingdong and Shi Zanqing to summon more than 300 yamen runners and young men overnight, set up a net of heaven and earth in and outside the village, and ran out more than a dozen."

"This Han Si was too careless in doing things, but fortunately, there was no trouble."

"Report to the emperor, Han Si has no choice but to have a few people under his command. Time is so tight that he can only make this bad decision at an extraordinary moment. I feel sorry for the things he said and what he did, so I don't want to stay with him for a long time. I will return as soon as it dawns today."

"What did he say?" Xianfeng asked subconsciously.

"Report to the emperor, he said that the reason for this bad strategy was that one was that the more than 400 new soldiers bravely rushed into battle was lost in vain; the other was that they wanted to save some pensions and burn money. After all, if they really went into battle, there would be no less casualties, and the burn money would naturally not be less."

Su Shun peeked at the emperor and saw that the emperor was thinking, and then said, "I know some military affairs, but I have never seen any battalion officer as poor as Han Si. They all say 'the cart is weak and the horse is thick and cloth is thick'. However, as a fifth-rank magistrate who commanded the Hebei camp, Han Si not only has neither a car nor a horse, but also has no decent outfit. The old cotton jacket on his body has been patched with several patches."

Xianfeng had known that Han Si was frugal, but he never expected Han Si to be so poor. He asked skeptically: "Yu Ting, can he wear it for you to see?"

"I sent someone to ask Yongxiang and Yang Debiao privately. Yongxiang and Yang Debiao said that he wears this way on weekdays and eats three meals a day with simple food," Sushun thought for a while, and then said, "And I have also inquired about his fellow villagers in Beijing. Although he has been an official for several years, he has not earned much money, and he has not even received a few taels of official salary."

"How do you say this?"

"Report to the emperor, as far as I know, he was inspecting anti-smugglers during the Hai'an inspection, and seized a batch of private salt. According to the rules, he could sell salt. That time, he made more than 5,000 taels of money. As a result, before the 5,000 taels of silver was warmed up, Changmao occupied Jiangning and divided his troops to invade Yangzhou. At that time, Tongzhi, the chief inspector of the Qing army in Yangzhou, was appointed as the Taizhou affairs clerk Xu Ying, forcing him to donate a sixth-rank captain to raise funds, and asked Yang Dianbang, who had not yet abandoned the city to escape at that time, to let him take office as Tongzhi of Taizhou."

Xianfeng thought about Han Si's resume and couldn't help but smile: "I said he had only been a ninth-rank inspector for a few days, so why did he be an agent from the sixth-rank state? It turned out that he was driven to the shelves!"

"He was really driven to the shelves!" Sushun smiled and continued: "He was later recommended by Guo Peilin and acted as deputy to the Lianghuai Transportation Department, but the salt service of Lianghuai was abolished. Moreover, although he was a deputy to the transportation department, he had no money. Later, he was ordered to go to Shanghai to handle grain, but as soon as he arrived in Shanghai, he encountered a rebellion between the Communist Party and the party. He was worried that the money for the grain would fall into the hands of the rioters, so he made a quick decision to order people to send the money for the grain to the yamen of the transportation department."

Xianfeng reacted and couldn't help but sigh: "Later, he was appointed as the General Secretary of the Marine Defense of Songjiang Prefecture and the Supervisor of Jiang Customs. Although Jiang Customs Supervision is a fatal and lacks, the customs affairs were controlled by foreigners because of the rebellion of the Communist Party. His supervision was in name only and there was no money."

"The Emperor's wise." Su Shun looked up at the stage and smiled bitterly: "Whether he was acting as a inspector or a deputy of the two Huaihe River Transport, and later acting as a co-magistrate of the coastal defense of Songjiang Prefecture and the supervisor of the customs of Jiangcheng Customs, he was appointed for less than a few days each time. The longest one was only accepted for more than half a year. Naturally, there was no way to talk about the official salary and the Jinyang Jin. It can be seen that he has a good official fortune but his wealth is not very good!"

"It's true." Xianfeng nodded slightly.

"So he not only was frugal, but also made his subordinates frugal. When the slave returned, he and Yongxiang were summoning all the soldiers and brave soldiers to take off all the number jackets they had just sent and put on the old clothes they wore when they entered the camp, worried that the soldiers would wear the number jackets when they were practicing. In short, he has really turned a copper plate in half and put them in the flowers."

"It's hard for a good cook to cook without rice, it's hard for him!" Xianfeng put down his teacup and stood up and said, "You just said that there is still a shortage of 30,000 taels of money and grain in Heying, so hurry up and help him find a full idea."

"The slave is planning to ask for an order to be allocated from Zhili Lijin."

"Accurate," Xianfeng thought for a while, and then said: "As for the horse soldiers, the Chaharma team has already allocated it to Senggelinqin, and it is not appropriate to draw it from Jinghai. I sent an order and led the Ministry of War to transfer a horse soldiers from Heilongjiang to the Heying camp."

"Yeah!" An eunuch hurriedly bowed to take the order.

Thinking that what he had just said was all official business, Xianfeng pondered again: "Yu Ting, frugality is a good thing, but it is not good to be too frugal, and food and clothing are too shabby. After all, Han Si is my minister and a fifth-rank official in the court. If you want to talk about cotton coats, I have a few things, but I dare not wear them even if I give them to him. Don't you feel sorry for me? Please help me with this matter and find a few subscribers who can wear them."

"Well, I will do it when I go back."

"Yongxiang reported that his wife and children seemed to be going to Gu'an to reunite with him. I turned around and said to the queen. When his wife and children arrived, let the queen look at the rewards for some useful clothes. He was so poor that I couldn't bear to have his wife and children follow him to eat braised vegetables."

"The emperor is so kind, Han Si knows that he must be grateful."
