"What are you worried about?" Yan Laoer pointed in the direction of Lao Yan and said mysteriously: "If the sky falls, your uncle will be there! Haven't you mentioned before that as long as the male protagonist has good luck, he will be there? If one person is an official, the whole family will win..."
Yan Yu:......
Dad, why do you remember these nonsense words so clearly?
Just do it once and it will be engraved in my mind.
"My uncle's choice at that time cannot be said to be wrong. Alas! I'd better find a chance to ask him. As my uncle said, if you don't understand anything, you can ask him." Yan Yu saw that Li Xuemei was slightly tired and stopped at the right time. Mouthed.
Pulling her father out of the car, "Dad, if my uncle asked me why you lay on the ground to listen to the sound, what would you say?"
Yan Laoer: Stuck.
Yan Yu sighed, "Just say you are looking for water veins and just listen."
"Is there another way?" Yan Laoer asked in surprise.
"Who knows!" Yan Yu shrugged, "Just pretend that you have a strange pregnancy. From now on, when we look for water sources, if you don't say you can listen, how can you say that you can read the trends of mountains and rivers?"
Yan Laoer became nervous, "I hope your uncle won't ask. It's better for me to just have ordinary ears."
Whatever you fear will come.
As expected, Yan Huaiwen asked why his brother fell to the ground.
"Brother! I thought about someone who had said before that people who fetch water can see and hear where there is water, so I thought about it and gave it a try, just in case I can hear something." Mr. Yan Er said in a sincere tone.
Lao Yan, look into my eyes quickly and look at my sincere eyes!
Yan Huaiwen did not sense his request and looked northwest.
Ask him: "Then what did you hear?"
It's good to have the courage to try.
"I can't explain clearly, I just have a feeling that if I change the direction, I might be able to find water." Yan Laoer secretly indicated.
Yan Huaiwen looked at him and said in a solemn tone: "God bless you, you know that being a brother is not enough. The journey is all decided by you. At this moment and at that moment, I am afraid that I will have to change the route. I want to ask you to avoid the official road. , is there a way to avoid the direct path we originally took?"
"Uncle!" Yan Yu suddenly interrupted.
"Are we still going to Guanzhou?" Yan Yu asked the question that had been on his mind.
"Of course." Yan Huaiwen turned to look at her, not minding her interrupting midway.
He looked at Heng'er on the other side. Yan Xiangheng had his head slightly lowered and could only see a pair of eyebrows that were about to be knotted. After Yan Yu asked this question, he suddenly raised his head and stared at him with burning eyes, waiting for his answer. Answer.
"Dad!" Yan Xiangheng asked abruptly: "Who are those people? Are they officers and soldiers of Leshan Guard Station?"
"No." Yan Huaiwen said calmly, with an expression on his face, "As I guessed, he should be a top-notch private soldier."
Private soldiers?
Yan Yu's eyes lit up.
Yan Xiangheng has always been restrained and awed in front of Yan Huaiwen. Ever since he became sensible, his father has been more solemn than close to him.
My father was very determined to study and spent more time in the academy than at home. After Yan Xiangheng entered the academy, we saw him more often than at home.
But nothing is as close and lively as walking along the way.
This was also the first time that he, like sister Erya, asked what was on his mind without any scruples.
"The official uniforms worn by those people do not look fake in quality, and they also have waist badges."
Yan Xiangheng took out a plaque made of brass from his sleeve, "My child has taken a closer look at it. It is indeed made of copper."
Yan Laoer and Yan Yu, father and daughter, looked at Yan Xiangheng in surprise.
Young man, you don’t have a strong sense of presence, but you are very thoughtful!
He actually kept quiet, checked the material of the clothes, and even secretly hid a waist tag...
Yan Huaiwen laughed lightly, took the waist card, took out a piece from his sleeve, and bumped the two without paying much attention.
The sound of impact hit one and two hearts one after another.
"There are so many mistakes and omissions that as a father, I don't know where to start."
Yan Yu's mind was flexible and he had already heard the words. He felt confident in his heart and became alive again.
"Uncle, drink some water to moisten your throat." He handed over a bamboo tube, opened the lid, and two wild chrysanthemums stretched and bloomed in the water.
Yan Huaiwen nodded her little head.
Said: "Then let's start with the horse."
"What's wrong with the horse?" Yan Laoer asked.
"There is nothing wrong with the horses themselves. The problem is the quantity." Yan Huaiwen took a sip of water and explained the confusion for the three of them: "Our government did not set up horse farms. We only bred them in military camps in various places. The output is limited and there is very little outflow. There are very few horses on the market.
The horses in circulation were all brought back from outside the customs by merchants.
If you are a serious guard officer and soldier, let alone horses, all equipment will be missing. I have never heard of any guard station in various places that is so wealthy. More than a hundred people travel, and everyone is equipped with a horse, haha...
Weapons, official uniforms, and waist badges are all like this."
Yan Yu asked with shining eyes: "Uncle, you mean, it's not that it's bad, but that the texture is too good?"
Yan Huaiwen hummed, "The sword is a good one, the official uniform is also new, and the waistband... is made of pure brass." He smiled and shook his head: "According to the production, it is exactly right, but in fact, the treasury is empty.
, the official seal was changed once more than ten years ago, and the governors of various prefectures were also included in the change."
"So, it's all fake, the people are fake, the things are fake, hahaha, the fake ones are better than the real ones? Hahahaha..." Yan Yu laughed to death.
What kind of weird court is this, so poor? All the official seals, waist badges and other bronze objects were taken back? Then what did they give to the people below in exchange?
"Brother, what is the real official seal and waist badge?" Yan Laoer asked.
"Official seals are mostly engraved on famous stones from various places, and waist medals are made of wood, iron, silver, or gold. All are covered with gold and silver."
Yan Yu: Covered?
Is that what she meant?
Gold plating and silver plating!!!
This is quite ok.
Ha ha ha ha……
Yan Yu asked again: "Uncle, if these people are private soldiers, doesn't that mean they are richer than the regular army?"
Yan Xiangheng pursed his lips and said seriously: "Guarding the mines, of course there is no shortage of money."
yes!
These people are chasing after them because they destroyed the den of bandits who trafficked people and cut off their connections.
Yan Yu tied everything together.
The private mine owners contacted the bandits to buy people, and the bandits caught people on official roads and sold them to the mines. They dug day and night, and whatever they dug out was in vain, with almost no cost. The private mine owners became richer and richer.
They also maintain private soldiers, which are fully equipped and equipped with better equipment than the regular army.
Huh? Did I miss something?
"Dad! Why do they have to imitate the military system when raising private soldiers?" Yan Xiangheng asked seriously.
Yan Huaiwen said warmly: "Mining private mines, buying and selling civilians, pretending to be officers and soldiers, imitating official rituals, privately forging weapons...the numerous crimes must be treason."
Yan Laoer:......
Yan Yu:......
Yan Xiangheng:……
Can you say such a serious matter in such a normal tone?
There was a groundhog screaming in Yan Yu's heart:
ah----
