The Sichuan soldiers who came to the two rivers to suppress the thieves were not only fewer and fewer, but also more and more scattered. Some were transferred to Jiangbei, some were easy-going to Anhui, and some followed Xue Huan, Liu Cunhou and Hu Songlin and his son to Shanghai. However, Du San's business was not affected by this, but instead became bigger and bigger.

This is due to the fact that almost all the fellow villagers who did not die or ran away became officials, and unlike before, they could only receive some food, salary and no other food. Some even fought while marrying wives, taking concubines and having children, cashing in the seized and even looted goods, sending messages to their hometowns and money and settling up with new homes, no one can help them.

What is even more unbelievable is that as the saying goes, "A large army will not grow in a single grass when passing through the border." Many camps have been looted within a radius of twenty miles. During festivals or victories, the camp officials want to reward the soldiers and brave men and they can't buy wine and meat. They are not at ease to leave them to others to do, so they simply leave these things to Du San to do.

Du San, Liu Bengui, Liu Benfu and other brothers from Ba County were running around and too busy. They bought thirteen boats from Taizhou and recruited more than 60 boatmen and civilians. They took the shopkeeper of Risheng Chang Taizhou Branch to help hire four accountants, divided into several groups, specializing in the business of Jiangnan Daying and Sichuan fellow villagers who worked in Jiangbei Daying.

It was already afternoon when Du San asked the accountant to deliver the chicken, duck, fish and meat he helped to buy from Jiangbei to each camp. He carried a pack of letters and found Zhang Yuliang's camp tent, who had accumulated merits and promoted to the guerrilla guerrilla of the Yongzhou Zuoying.

The war is connected to the sky, and the letters from home are worth a thousand gold.

Zhang Yuliang no longer looked down on Du San as before. Not only did he ask his personal soldiers to cook tea quickly, but he also called him a mouthful of Brother Du, which was extremely intimate.

"Mr. Zhang, if you say something heart-wrenching, all the money you helped bring back was the life-long money from your fellow villagers. I was also uneasy. Before the New Year, I was thinking about whether to go back and get back to pay the bill. Later, I had reply letters from my hometown one after another. I heard that my brothers and their families not only received the letter, but also received the money they brought back. Then I really breathed a sigh of relief."

How could Zhang Yuliang not hear that he was seeking credit and reward? He put down the letter he had just read and smiled and said, "Brother Du, you have trouble."

Du San hurriedly bowed and said, "It's not a problem to bother, I'm just a little worried, always worried about making mistakes."

Thinking that Xiang Shuai had said that although this fellow villager in front of him was afraid of death, he had helped the camp a lot over the past year. At least he could communicate with his family and send money to his hometown and his army was more stable than before. Zhang Yuliang felt that he should have something to say. While greeting him for tea, he asked with a smile: "Brother Du, you can help, but your errands in Jiangbei cannot be delayed. How is Qingshan Camp now? You ran here every few days, and the camp officials didn't say anything, right?"

Speaking of this, Du San smiled embarrassedly and said, "Report to Mr. Zhang, Qingshan Camp... Qingshan Camp seems to have never been rebuilt. I have never been there before. I don't know who the camp officer is."

“Never been there?”

"No, I've never been there."

"What about food and wages? Don't you get money and food?"

"I want to go and get it, but I don't know where Qingshan Camp is. Even if I go, who can I find to get it."

"So... no one cares about you now or asks?"

"It's almost the same, but this is not a bad thing."

Zhang Yuliang was happy and simply patted the case and said, "Since Lord Qishan doesn't care about you, then you can go back to the camp to serve. I'll help you ask Xiang Shuai. When you recommend the meritorious soldiers, you will be included. Let's see if you can help you find a Dushi."

Who wouldn't want to be promoted? But when he thought of returning to the camp to serve, Du San said bitterly: "Master Zhang, it's not that I'm ignorant of politeness, but that I'm really not good at leading troops to fight. I'm afraid that I will delay Xiang Shuai's military affairs."

"You can rest assured that you are just helping you find an official position and will not let you lead troops into battle. What are you doing now and what else do in the future? If you have an official title from the Dusi, you will apply for a few more investigations from the Ministry of War. It will be more convenient to do things in the future than now."

"It's good. Thank you Mr. Zhang for your care and support!"

"Don't thank you, you and I are fellow villagers, and we should have helped each other."

Thinking of being able to be promoted even when doing business, Du San was overjoyed and couldn't help but smile and said, "Master Zhang, I forgot to report that my second brother's personal follower Pan Changsheng is the Pan Er I mentioned to you before. Now he has become a great success and has become the ambassador of the Salt Class Department of the Jiaoxichang. The yamen is not far from the yamen of the yamen of Han Chen, the yamen of the Lianghuai Transportation Commander."

"So, in Jiangbei, are there two fellow salt officials?" Zhang Yuliang asked subconsciously.

"That's right." Pan Er grinned and continued: "The salt farms under Han Yunzong and Pan Er are all on the beach. Before coming, I heard that sand boats often go to Tianjin via their place. The shopkeeper of the Risheng Changtaizhou branch had sent someone to ask them for help, and planned to send a message to the capital in the future and go on the sea road."

"This is good news, but unfortunately the war is too tight, so I can't get away and go to Jiangbei for a visit."

"During the Chinese New Year, I went to Anfeng to meet Han Yun. Han Yun also wanted to come to see Xiang Shuai, and you also wanted to visit Mr. Zhang, but unfortunately I couldn't get away." Du San knew very well that whether Xiang Shuai or the person in front of him could treat him differently, it had a certain relationship with several fellow salt officials in Jiangbei. He thought about it and said with a gaze: "There is another thing that I didn't know before. It was not until I went to Shanghai last month that my second brother had paid for a Sichuan guild in the foreign concession in Shanghai before he went to Beijing. Mr. Xue, Mr. Liu, and the injured brothers under Mr. Hu were all placed in the guild for recuperation."

"Mr. Han is indeed a righteous man, and he did such a great thing quietly."

"My second brother often says that people should not forget their roots. When they go out, they should pay attention to the friendship between their hometowns. Otherwise, it would be so easy for their brothers to send their letters and money to their hometowns. He said hello to Rishengchang, and his father-in-law helped him in Ba County."

Zhang Yuliang knew all these things, and in fact, it was because he believed that Han Xiufeng, who had never met before, that he dared to let his brothers hand over the money to Du San to take to his hometown.

Just when he was secretly sighing that he really had to rely on his fellow villagers when he was out, Han Xiufeng had just sent his youngest sister to the sedan chair for picking up her brides and watched the brides and picking up her brides and gongs and drums away, and returned to the second hall and then went to the second hall to have a drink with Wang Qianli, Datou, Chen Hu, Ji Daji and the second and others.

The wedding ceremony was held, the wedding banquet was eaten, and there were wedding candy delivered before Zhuzi left. Chen Hu, Wang Hedong and Ji Daji's second-class Lao Tai Yongying brothers were not happy.

Seeing them drooping and wanting to speak, Han Xiufeng put down his chopsticks and said earnestly: "I know you don't want to leave, but you are not as good as before. You are either Qian Zheng or the boss. The one who is the worst is the foreign minister Qian Zheng. Since you have become an official in the court and receive the money and food of the court, you have to serve the court and listen to the orders of the court. If you stay in the ancestral home with me, you will be transferred to where you can go to quell the chaos? Should you go or not?"

Chen Hu asked with a bitter face: "Second Master, I know you are doing it for our own good, but is there any other way except to go to Mr. Shi to listen to it?"

"No," Han Xiufeng took a deep breath and stared at him and said, "Let me say so, I really can't think of a better way except to ask you to go to the North Bank Hall to listen to it."

Ji Er asked anxiously: "But we are all gone, what should you do?"

"I will continue to be the Tongzhi of the Nan'an Hall. If there is a war, the court will ask me to continue to lead the troops and then transfer you back." Han Xiufeng smiled and continued: "Ma, I will leave two horses, and you and the groom will take away the rest. The same goes for the money and food in the camp, and the number of soldiers under his command will lead as many as possible. Lord Wu has agreed to Mr. Shi's request. It would be bad if you don't go quickly."

"The barracks in front of the government offices have been sold at a price. Where can we live?" Wang Hedong asked cautiously.

Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Wang Qianli said lightly: "You don't have to worry about where you live. I have arranged it for you long ago. There is no need to worry about the future food and salary. The river channel is so big that you will never let you be hungry soldiers."

Ge Erxiao realized that he would not be able to leave. He thought about it and couldn't help asking: "Fourth Master, where is Big Head Brother, will Big Head Brother follow us?"

"I won't leave," Big Head grinned, "I will move to the opposite garrison tomorrow. I will go to play with you with my fourth brother in the future. Remember to invite us to drink at that time."

Chen Hu knew very well that Mr. Han was not favoring one or the other, but that he would have to be stationed in the flood season. In other words, everyone here had to be alone. He had a big head and heartless heart, and had a tendon in his mind. It was okay to let him fight and kill, but he must not be alone.

Chen Hu didn't know what to say, but Han Xiufeng smiled again: "It's not that easy for you to get promoted, but you can have a safe life for at least a few years. Besides, your family has told you about your wife and you will almost have to marry and have children next time. You can't let your wife and children be displaced with you."

"Fourth Master, it's not so easy to get married. We can't go back for a while unless we don't become this official." Ji Da said helplessly.

"Getting married is not that easy, but not as difficult as you think." Han Xiufeng looked back at Wang Qianli and explained: "I have discussed with Mr. Wang, and I happened to take this opportunity to ask you what you mean. I plan to write a letter to Dean Gu, asking Dean Gu to help you arrange it, see if you can find more people and help you send the bride together on Qiu."

"Send it here, how do you deliver it?"

"Take the sea route and take a sand boat from the corner sloping field to Tianjin. Let's go here and pick up a few more people."

"The Guilty Nei and the Dogzi are also coming to reunite with me. If you want, let them come with the Guilty Nei and the Dogzi." Wang Qianli looked at them with the Guilty Nei and the Dogzi and said.

"Yes, I'm willing!"
