Chapter 81 Who takes advantage of whom?

He was unwilling to join the army even if he wanted to kill him, and he was also not interested in being a military attache from the ninth rank as an additional foreign commission. Du San was frustrated and could only return to the table angrily and ask Han Xiufeng to drink.

I thought he was a good drinker, but he ended up getting so drunk that he vomited all over the place. And his ability to drink is something he has learned through practice. It was obvious from a glance that he was so poor that he had not eaten meat or drank alcohol for a long time.

.

Pan Er finally saw the true face of this martial arts master, and finally understood how cheap the military attache really was. After cleaning the room, he went to the riverside with Han Xiufeng to get some fresh air. As he walked, he muttered: "Fourth brother, I'm starting to really take this seriously."

He is a person, but in the end he is nothing. He also wants to trick Datou into becoming a soldier. This is clearly because he is greedy for life and is afraid of death. He clearly wants Datou to help him block knives and arrows."

Han Xiufeng smiled and said: "No matter how you say he is a Qianzong, he is still from the same hometown as us, so we can just talk about these things outside. Don't say them again after we go back."

"I know, I won't talk nonsense." Pan Er nodded, then thought about it and said with a grimace: "Fourth brother, his son is relying on us. Why don't you go and talk to Yi Shu tomorrow?

Find a way to entangle him, and we will leave as soon as the ship arrives, without waiting for him or letting him take advantage of us."

Han Xiufeng has been thinking about this matter and mused: "When we are away from home, the most important thing is friendship. It is easy to prevent him from boarding our ship, but it is not kind. Besides, when he gets to the capital, he will definitely stay at the Chongqing Guild Hall.

How embarrassing it would be to look up and not see you but to see you when you look down."

"But we are not rich either!"

"It doesn't matter who takes advantage of whom," Han Xiufeng touched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help but smile: "Brother Pan, weren't you envious this morning that he had a liaison with the Ministry of War? Bringing him along means that we also have a liaison. There is no need to hand over the check.

Taxes, living in the inn does not cost money, and we only need to pay attention to what he says, after all, we still make money."

"Can he agree?"

"I have become sworn friends with him. We are brothers with different surnames who are not born in the same year, the same month and the same day, but we want to die in the same year, the same month and the same day. If we don't agree, wouldn't it be a slap in the face? Besides, it doesn't cost him an extra penny.

All he has to do is go through the checkpoint and tell people we are his family when staying at the inn."

"That's right, let's do it like this, but when we spend our own money, we can't be so lavish."

"This is natural. We ourselves are reluctant to spend money frivolously."

Confirming that he would not be taken advantage of by Du San, Pan Er finally relaxed and asked curiously after thinking about it: "Fourth brother, what did he just say about Mr. Men Qian, Mr. Wei Qian, and Mr. Qian of the Foreign Affairs Commission? Is it possible that Mr. Qian has something good?"

How many kinds?”

"Yes." Han Xiufeng found a clean stone to sit down, rubbed his legs and explained: "There are nine inner gates in the capital and seven outer gates. Each gate is guarded by Qian Generals, so those Qian Generals are called Men Qian Generals; Water Transport Governors

Each of the guards and garrison posts under their jurisdiction was divided into Qianzongs, who were responsible for commanding water transportation and leading the transportation of grain. Those Qianzongs were called Wei Qianzong and garrison Qianzong."

"Where's Du San? Who is Du San, Mr. Qian?"

"His current title of Qianzong from the sixth rank is just a false title. Soldiers still have food and salary. He doesn't even have food and salary. However, he has served with the battalion for three years and has the recommendation of Zhentai. It should not be difficult to fill the position.

repair."

Pan Er asked: "Don't you need to give money to the officials in the Ministry of War?"

Han Xiufeng smiled and said: "If you just want to fill a gap, martial arts like his really don't cost money. But there are many kinds of gaps, including fat gaps, bitter gaps, edge gaps, and inland gaps... If you really don't get a dime,

, even if those officers from the Ministry of War don’t release him to Guangdong and Guangxi to quell the chaos, they will release him to the military border in a bitter and cold place.”

"He's a smart guy, he should have been prepared, he must have money on him!"

"That's not necessarily true."

"Why not?" Pan Er asked puzzledly.

Han Xiufeng sighed softly, raised his head and said: "The Qing Dynasty is a Manchu world, and there is no comparison between the Green Camp and the Eight Banners. For example, the first-rank Green Camp Admiral has only eighty-one taels per year, while the Eight Banners general, who is also the first-rank,

The total is one hundred and eighty taels! The gap between ordinary soldiers is even greater. The monthly salary of the Eight Banners soldiers is one-third higher than that of the Green Camp, and the monthly rice is more than three times more. Moreover, the Eight Banners soldiers also have Ji Ding to grant land and

The soldiers in the Green Camp are paid a monthly salary and rice."

Pan Er pondered: "He is just a CEO in name only. Even if he wants to make money, he can't make any money?"

"Don't talk about him as the nominal President Qian. Even those Presidents Qian who are in office have little luck and can only eat empty pay and drink the blood of soldiers. But there are a total of 500 soldiers in a battalion. We must respect those above.

As a general, guerrilla, commander, and garrison, you can't have even a single soldier under your command, so you can't get much free money."

Han Xiufeng paused and then continued: "They don't dare to harm the place. If they dare to act recklessly outside, not to mention General Qian, garrison, commander, and guerrillas, even the generals, generals, and governors will not give them face.

, it would be a light thing to dismiss them."

"What this officer did was too frustrating!"

"So you say the noble in culture and the military are cheap?"

………

At the same time, they didn’t find out anything at night, and they didn’t find out anything in the morning either. It wasn’t until they spent several hundred pennies to bribe a postman from Longxi Station that they found out what happened last night. Liu San was looking grim.

Report to the Zhou Magistrate.

"He had a guilty conscience and was afraid of being recognized by us, so he didn't dare to go ashore. He hid on the boat until night before letting the boatman deliver a message to Changsui County Grand Master Chang Sui and the post office. His father-in-law seemed to be an errand in the government office, so Yang Changsui and the post office were both

I helped him, found some clothes belonging to the government officials, put them on for him, and then let him go ashore during the chaos."

When he thought about what happened in Ba County, Magistrate Zhou became very angry. He gritted his teeth and asked, "Where are the others? Are they still on the shore?"

"No, he knew you were here, sir, so he didn't dare to stay. He left overnight as soon as he landed." Liu San took a peek at Mr. Tuesday who was standing in the corner, and said cautiously: "The grand master of Changshou County also dialed the number.

One horse and four young men were sent to escort them all the way. I guess they have arrived at Shimenyi by now."

"What about people leaving the boat?"

"The boat has also left, early in the morning." Liu San took a deep breath and said anxiously: "Ding Er saw that there was nothing valuable on the boat, and the boatman seemed quite honest, so he asked for two hundred coins to let the boat go.

Gone."

The sworn enemy actually slipped away under his nose. The more Zhou Zhixian thought about it, the more frustrated he became. He pointed at his long follower Liu San and asked: "When they docked yesterday afternoon, why didn't you get on the boat and take a look?"

"Master, his ship arrived in the dark, and we didn't know he was on the ship..."

"Forget it, I can't blame you entirely." Zhou Zhixian pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and walked to the table, picked up a pen and wrote an official document while saying coldly: "Second brother, although he ran away from under our noses, he still has nothing to do with it.

He can’t run far, so you quickly find a boat to chase him, bring a few more people, and bring a few hundred kilograms of copper, so that you can get him and everyone will get the stolen goods!"

He suffered a big loss in Ba County on Tuesday and hated Han Xiufeng even more than his elder brother. He just messed up things in Ba County and never dared to speak. Seeing that his elder brother had said that he wanted to deal with Han Xiufeng, he said excitedly: "Brother,

With this bag on me, as long as he takes the waterway, he will definitely be able to catch up with him!"

Zhou Zhixian put down his pen, stamped the newly written sea fishing document, and then raised his head and said: "You must be alive. Only a living person can care about his father-in-law asking for money. He is so audacious that he dares to ruin my business. Look,
