Liu Jiang said: "I understand, I will arrange it immediately."

After Liu Jiang was about to leave, he was stopped by Liu Pei. He said: "You also have to prepare two months' rations for a thousand people, just in case Yang Qianhu really doesn't even keep any rations! If that's the case, the soldiers will

It won't look good if we cause trouble!"

Liu Jiang expressed his understanding and took the order and left.

In the remaining days, Liu Pei seized the time to deal with the matters at hand and made preparations to take over Fushan Qiansuo.

As a result, on the fourth day, Liu Jiang came over excitedly and said, "Master, the news just came that Yang Jingfa and his people have left Busan Maesou."

Liu Pei put down the pen in his hand and said: "When did you leave? How many people did you take with you? How much stuff did you take?"

Liu Jiang said: "They set off at dawn today. They brought five or six cars with them! It seems that the head of the family was right. That bastard named Yang may have stripped everything in front of Fushan!"

Lupe huffed and said proudly: "I guess this kid can't do it lightly! He hates me so much now that he definitely doesn't want to leave me anything. I guess the rats in Fushan Qianshe will starve to death."

Liu Jiang said: "Absolutely. The brother who was monitoring said that the cart was full of things, including food and weapons! I'm afraid the warehouse has been completely clean!"

Liu Pei sighed and said: "Fortunately, we were prepared in advance. Otherwise, if it had been two days late, I'm afraid there would have been a commotion down there! By the way, are everything ready?"

Liu Jiang said: "Everything is ready and the car has been loaded and ready to go at any time."

Liu Pei stood up and said, "Then go and ask the brothers to come out and escort the car on its way."

Everyone packed up and set off in escort of five large vehicles. Accompanying the vehicle were 50 gunmen. During this period, Liu Pei once again arranged for people to screen the prisoners and picked out a few more who had slipped through the net.

Little boss. Among the rest of the people who can accept the reality and work honestly, Liu Pei has released them and used them as free citizens. However, they are not given land. They are only allowed to do chores every day and are paid wages and wages according to the day.

These people were originally landless farmers. With this livelihood, they were naturally grateful to Liu Pei and worked hard.

There were still about a thousand people left, and they continued to work under the supervision of the servants. In this way, Liu Pei devoted a lot of manpower to patrol the salt road. This relieved the pressure Liu Bei faced a lot.

Speaking of these prisoners is also strange. Ever since Liu Pei reported it, everyone seemed to have forgotten about these prisoners. But Liu Pei was too happy not to ask. Anyway, these people were good labor in his hands, and they poured out a lot of

That!

Liu Pei and Liu Jiang talked and laughed along the way, and soon arrived at Fushan Qiansuo. Speaking of Fushan Qiansuo, it also has quite a history. In the 21st year of Hongwu (1

388) Aoshan Guard was set up, which had jurisdiction over Fushanqian Qianhu Station, Xiongya Qianhu Station and Aoshan Guard Qianhu Station. According to the "History of the Ming Dynasty: Military Records": "Each guard has one chief third-rank commander and two subordinate third-rank commanders.

Tongzhi also has official positions such as commanding officials and commanding 5,600 troops. There are several thousand households under the guard. The thousand households have one chief qianhu and two deputy qianhu, commanding 1,120 troops. There are 1,120 troops under the qianhu.

There are several hundred-household stations. Each hundred-household station has one hundred-household officer and two chief bannermen, commanding 112 troops. The coastal guard station is equipped with more official positions. For example, the Aoshan Guard station has three commanders, five commanders and commanders.

There are 8 officials and 6 officials per thousand households. However, as time goes by, officials appear to be fully paid, but in fact they are all eating empty wages.

The former place of Fushan was a military stronghold. It should have been quite impressive when it was originally built. However, it has not been repaired for so many years since it was built, and it has become dilapidated. Weeds are growing all over the rammed earth city wall, and the wall is facing

The south wall was covered with vines and looked lifeless. No wonder Yang Jingfa refused to stay in Qianhusuo and lived in Jimo County instead.

When Liu Pei and others walked to the gate of Qianhusuo, the door was open. There were several people standing in front of the door, and one of them was the servant who had come to inform in advance. Now that a large group of people were coming, the servant naturally returned to the team.

Liu Pei rode on his horse and looked at the three people in front of the gate. He found that these three people were just scribes, and none of the other officials were seen. Liu Pei thought to himself: Those people who didn't come wanted to give me a blow, right?

?The one that blinds their eyes!

Liu Pei jumped off his horse and walked closer and said, "I just trust Liu Pei, the official of Qianhu. Who are you?"

The three people looked at each other, stepped forward to pay homage, and said in unison: "See you, Mr. Qianhu. We are the scribes in the official office."

Liu Pei waved his hand and said: "Get up. Why are there only three of you?"

After the three people looked at each other again, the older clerk said: "Master Qi, when Yang Qianhu was here, all departments were controlled by his cronies. As soon as he left, everyone followed.

Now there are only three of us in charge of the Qianhu Office."

After hearing this, Liu Pei rubbed his hands vigorously and cursed Yang Jingfa in his heart for being so unethical. He really wanted to kill him! Before he could speak, the old scribe said again: "Actually, this is not to blame Master Yang. Take him away."

It’s already a routine to have manpower.”

Liu Pei was very surprised when he heard this and said: "What kind of custom is this?"

The man was startled by Liu Pei, and Nuonuo didn't dare to speak. Knowing that he might be frightened, Liu Pei slowed down and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm asking the truth. Because I'm not from a military background."

, so I don’t even understand the rules. Please tell me in detail. Also, what’s your name?”

When the scribe heard this, he relaxed and said: "I have a humble surname.

Sun, the word "Jia" means "Shan Ning". As for Mr. Yang taking away all the people in charge, it is indeed an old rule in the guard station. Ordinarily, we have more officials in the Qianhu Station, so there should be some left. It's just that

There have been many vacancies over the years, and in order to facilitate... Mr. Qianhu's command, everyone is filled by Mr. Qianhu's cronies. Therefore, when Yang Qianhu leaves, he will naturally take these people with him.

This will make room for the newly arrived Senhu-sama."

Liu Pei nodded in realization and said: "That's it! It seems that I misunderstood Yang Qianhu. But according to what you said, the salary, money and food of the vacant personnel should be empty wages, right? I am afraid that sending out cronies is not for the convenience of command.

Is it just for the convenience of searching?"

Sun Jia didn't dare to say anything after hearing this, but just stood there with his head bowed. Liu Pei didn't want to embarrass him, so he said, "Come on, follow me for a walk inside. Lead the way."

Sun Jia hurriedly led Liu Pei to the Qianhu Institute. Although the Qianhu Institute was not very big, it was small and well-equipped with all the internal organs. There were official halls, officials' rooms, grain depots, weapons depots, etc. All the facilities were available. There was no need to leave the institute.

Surprisingly, these buildings are in a dilapidated state.

Along the way, Sun Jia introduced the names and functions of each building. Slowly, his words became louder and his voice became louder. So he wanted to ask Liu Pei something, but he did not dare to say anything. Liu Pei also

I ignored him and followed him around Qianhu for most of the way, getting to know the situation everywhere.

When everyone arrived at the gate of the barracks, Liu Pei asked Sun Jia, "Do you have anything to say?"

Sun Jia hesitated and said again and again: "Well, I wonder if Mr. Qianhu has brought food and silver when he comes this time?"

Liu Pei said: "Of course I brought them! You have just seen several large trucks outside, which are filled with grain and other supplies."

Sun Jia immediately let out a long breath, and seemed to feel much more relaxed, and said, "Thank you, sir. Otherwise, I'm afraid the place will run out of food today!"

Liu Pei was very surprised and said: "How come there is no food? Is there no food at all in Qianhu Station?"

Sun Jia whispered: "Sir Qianhu, you haven't seen the barracks and warehouses left. You will know after you see them."

Liu Pei waved his hand and said, "I can guess it without looking! Just tell the truth. Is there nothing left?"

Sun Jia hesitated and said: "Master Qianhu, although Shangguan always takes something from the guardhouse when he leaves, Yang Qianhu went too far. All the grain and other materials in stock in the guardhouse were taken away by Yang Qianhu.
