Chapter 2610 Escape and convince others with reason
Li Li hurriedly rushed to Taiyuan with his cavalry, not because there was any military chaos in Taiyuan, but because Taiyuan needed several detachments to pick up the "eyes" who had fled from Jizhou or Youzhou. And Taiyuan's local cavalry
There are not many, so I applied to allocate some from under the Yinshan Mountain.
Because of the escape, even if the incident happened suddenly, it is impossible to say which road the agreement was to take, so Changshan Taiyuan in the north, Tongguan Hangu in the middle, and Wuguan Wancheng in the south all dispatched many people similar to Li Li
Such a small team went to respond.
Yanzhou is close to the Heluo area.
Ziziphus jujube, near Yinshui.
Yinshui is a branch of the Yellow River.
Song Hang stood on the side of the Yin Shui with worry on his face, wondering if he could return to Chang'an.
It seems that a month ago, everything was so calm and peaceful, and everything was in order, but now these peaceful and peaceful days are like ice cubes in winter, which suddenly begin to melt and disappear.
Although it is the beginning of spring, the weather is not good yet, the sky has become gloomy again, and the leaden gray clouds hang low on people's heads, making people feel a little uncomfortable.
Some damp wind blew up, making people feel wet and cold to the bone.
It looks like it's going to rain again.
Song Hang looked at the rushing river in front of him and frowned.
We can only move forward, we cannot wait any longer.
It has been raining for the past few days, causing river flows to rise.
If it rains again, the water will rise, and I'm afraid I won't be able to leave even if I want to.
This is already an area with lower water levels. Of course, there are places with lower water levels and bridges, but the problem is that places with ferries and bridges must be guarded by soldiers.
At the same time, even if you cross the Yin River, you have to cross a canal a hundred miles east before you can enter the Heluo area, which can be said to be relatively safe.
Song Hang only took one person to escape. On the one hand, it was because the matter was urgent, and on the other hand, taking too many people would inevitably attract attention, which would be a bad thing.
At this time, the man was exploring the path in the river. His face was a little pale from the cold. He was holding a crooked wooden pole cut from a small tree in the bottom of the river to stabilize his body.
Will not be washed away by water flow.
Ever since Cai Yu was arrested, Wang Ming fled, and Song Hang heard the news, he silently began to prepare to abscond.
The life of the escape was obviously not easy. Song Hang, who was originally good-looking and talented, was now haggard. There were still some cuts on his face and hands from the thorns and bushes, and there was still a faint trace of blood.
Song Hang stared at his entourage in the river, watching him move forward step by step, not daring to express his anger. They were his disciples in the clan. At this moment, only blood relations can ensure the foundation of trust.
Otherwise, you may be betrayed at any time to take credit and become a reward for others.
Song Hang clenched his fists tightly, not even daring to blink. It was as if if he blinked, his brother would disappear on the water.
I don't know how long it took, but his brother finally reached the opposite side, and suddenly he lay down on the river bank. After a while, he stood up shivering, then shook his body and gestured to Song Hang, "Just, just follow, follow."
Follow my path! Hold it in your hands and walk slowly over! The water, the water is up to your chest, yes, you can cross it!"
Song Hang took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and began to take off his clothes. Then he tied his coat and other clothes around his shoulders, then picked up another small tree pole and carefully started to enter the water.
The cold wind blew by, and Song Hang couldn't help but shiver.
Song Hang moved forward step by step, while his younger brother was on the river bank. Sometimes he looked at Song Hang anxiously, and sometimes he straightened up and looked around, fearing that someone might appear nearby in the next moment.
Fortunately, thanks to the Eighteenth Route Princes at that time...well, there were not so many princes, but it doesn't matter. Even if it was the "blessing" of the Eighteenth Route Princes, the villagers and common people near Jujube have long been devastated until today.
Haven't been able to recover.
During the process of crossing the river, Song Hang had no danger. Although he was a little unstable, he still persisted and walked to the other side of the river. He suddenly sat down on the ground, with a shocked face, and made up his mind to wait until Chang'an Sanfu was safe.
After that, he said that he must learn to swim no matter what, otherwise next time...
No, no, there is no next time, absolutely no next time!
Song Hang gritted his teeth and stood up, "Kekeke... I'm here now... Let's go, go, keep going, go, go, we'll be safe when we reach Heluo..."
While helping Song Hang change into dry clothes, his younger brother asked, "Brother, Heluo, is there anyone who can help you?"
"..." Song Hang was silent for a while, "Yes! There must be!"
In the evening, the rain finally fell.
Having no choice but to leave, Song Hang and the two could only find a sheltered place and lit some bonfires to keep out the cold, and also to roast the dry food they carried so that it would not be too hard to swallow.
Song Hang and both of them were fleeing lightly. Naturally, there was no way to tell what pots, pans, kitchen knives, etc. they were carrying, and there was no way to buy them on the way. These days, not to mention jujube, there are not many people in the Heluo area, even if
It is a village with ordinary people, and they are not allowed to buy at will. If the villagers in the village think that they are thieves and catch them, there will be no room for grievances.
Just when the two of them were messing around for a few times and were about to fall asleep, they suddenly heard some noises!
The two men suddenly woke up and saw two soldiers walking out of the dark night. The leading soldier pointed his hand and stared, "Who are you?"
Song Hang wanted to run away at that moment, but if he escaped, his flaws would be exposed even more. He had no choice but to smile, nod and bow, saying: "I am a refugee...I am from Qingzhou...Listen
He said there would be no more fighting in Chang'an, and he was trying to find a way to make a living..."
The two soldiers frowned and looked at Song Hang and the two men through the faint firelight.
I had been sleeping and sleeping on the road for the past few days, and my clothes and body were covered in dirt and dust, and there were also some holes scratched by thorns. Under the dim light, I did look a bit like a refugee.
The two soldiers looked at each other, relaxed a little, and smiled, "I didn't expect that Qingzhou was still fighting? Didn't you hear that it had stopped? Hey, it's not easy to live a peaceful life these days...
Ah! Is it okay to lend you this place to take shelter from the rain and warm yourself by the fire?」
He was still asking, but the two soldiers had already walked over in a hurry, took off their ponchos, shook them until there were drops of water everywhere, and then stretched out their hands and feet to bake on the bonfire.
Song Hang and the two quickly gave up a good position. The shelter from the wind was not big, so the two of them could only huddle in the outside area. Raindrops drifted in from time to time, but fortunately the rain was not very heavy, and the two of them could still hold on.
"Is there anything to eat? Bring some out and I'll give you money." A soldier said casually, "Shijun Yang has been recruiting refugees recently. Otherwise, you don't have to go to Chang'an and just follow us to Luoyang. Anyway, you don't have to go to Chang'an."
Isn’t it just plowing? It’s not plowing over there?」
"This..." How could Song Hang be willing to go to Heluo? He could only signal to his brother to get some food and send the two soldiers away, while on the other hand he made an excuse and said, "Heluo... Heluo is certainly not bad...
However, I still have some relatives in Chang'an, and I am going here to seek refuge... I think it is more convenient to go to Chang'an..."
"Oh, oh." The soldier was obviously just talking casually, and his attention was actually focused on the dry food Song Hang took out from his brother. After all, these days, only the rich and powerful people can only eat every day, and their belly is round and fat, and their belts are full.
It can't be restrained. Ordinary people are hungry and don't have much to eat.
When the dry food was received, the soldier looked at it and was stunned. He immediately raised his head and said, "Young man, it's still dry meat!"
Song Hang's expression changed, he was so bad!
Song Hang's disciple made a mistake while he was busy and actually gave out the dried bacon in the bag...
Another soldier took the small piece of dried bacon, smelled it, suddenly smiled, stared at Song Hang and said, "Two days ago, a letter was sent from Prime Minister Cao... to hunt down a fugitive."
A civil servant, seven feet three tall, with a white face and a beard...how do I feel...hehe, haha...could it be..."
Song Hang's heart trembled. He tried his best to steady his mind, maintained his momentum, stood up, and laughed softly, "You two, in this world, there are countless people who are fleeing. If there are more of me, the two of us will not be more. If there is less of me, there will be no more."
There are quite a few of them, not to mention that Cao Cheng is so powerful. Could it be said that the Hussar General is weak? In this land of Heluo, there are people on both sides, and everyone has a good relationship. It’s hard to do everything too well...
…』
The two soldiers looked at each other and then stood up.
They were subordinates of the Heluo Yang family. They were ordered to go out and search in the Heluo land. After all, the Heluo Yang family could not afford to offend him. Of course, the queues set up on the official roads were relatively comfortable.
There was shelter from the wind and rain, as well as hot soup and rice. It was relatively hard work for them, but unexpectedly they actually bumped into Song Hang!
Although Song Hang's words are indeed good, it's a pity that he is not facing a reasonable person, but a big-headed soldier who is just licking blood with his sword. One day counts, and he can be happy as long as he can. Of course, if he has a reward now, he will just focus on the present.
How can I take care of any long-term matters with my reward money?
"Dang, bang, bang..." The expressions of the two soldiers became a little greedy and ferocious. They drew out their sabers and pointed at Song Hang and the two of them. "I don't understand what you are saying! Don't move, be good, don't let me."
If you work hard, please do it gently..."
There is a huge price difference between live and dead.
So both soldiers wanted to catch him alive.
"Don't come here! Listen to me!" Song Hang and his two men also pulled out their daggers, trying to delay while slowly retreating outside, thinking of escaping.
"Young man! There's a knife too!" The soldiers didn't care and pressed forward step by step. They had armor on their bodies, and they were longer, thicker and bigger than Song Hang and the other two, so they were naturally more powerful. As they approached,
While shouting, "Come on, come to Chaoye!"
As soon as the word "come" came out, suddenly, I heard a sharp sound breaking through the air!
The soldier standing at the back screamed and fell forward with blood splattering everywhere, with a small ax exposed on his back!
Approaching Song Hang and others, the soldiers in the front jumped up in fright and turned around quickly, only to see several figures wearing raincoats emerging from the dark rain curtain!
"Scared! It's Piao..." The soldier was so frightened that he didn't even finish his words, but immediately turned around and ran away!
The black figure wearing a raincoat came closer, stretched out two fingers and tapped the fleeing soldier. Immediately, two soldiers passed Song Hang and chased the soldier.
Not long after, another scream was heard. In the rainy night, there was soon no sound again.
Several dark figures wearing raincoats were moving around, and some people went to look at the packages left by Song Hang and the two of them in the shelter, and then someone came back and reported something in a low voice.
One of them came over.
"I am Dai Si, the leader of the scout team under General Taishi." The dark figure wearing a raincoat stood in front of Song Hang, looked Song Hang up and down, pulled some of his raincoat, and pulled it out.
The military badge representing the identity of the hussar soldier was waved in front of Song Hang, and then he said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Do you have a token?"
Song Hang exhaled a long breath at this time, and suddenly felt that his whole body was shaking, "Yes, yes, yes..."
Song Hang turned the dagger upside down, pulled out the stopper on the wooden handle of the dagger, and then pulled out something wrapped in oilcloth, which was a small piece of jade.
"Fire is coming!" Dai Si, the leader of the scout team, took it in his hand and said in a deep voice.
Immediately, someone else took a burning log on top of the bonfire and brought it over. The torch crackled in the drizzle.
The jade is very small, but the workmanship is very delicate.
Dai Si took advantage of the flickering firelight, held it up and looked at it carefully, then nodded towards Song Hang and said with a smile, "Welcome home... you are safe..."
……ヾ(^▽^ヾ)……
Chang'an.
Nowadays, the monetary system is gradually improving, but it has also caused some disadvantages.
In the past, the Han Dynasty used either copper coins or cloth, silk and other items as general equivalents. However, with the gradual promotion of Zhengxi money and Huqi money, unpopular coins such as five baht coins and cloth had to face the
The risk of delisting, coupled with the addition of precious metals such as gold and silver to market circulation, has gradually standardized the circulation of coins on the market.
Secondly, there is the acceptance of flight tickets.
With the development of commerce and trade, the increase in goods, the demand for currency, especially large amounts of currency, is also increasing, so Feiqian's adjustment to currency is also timely. However, some financial derivatives of later generations are not so easy to add.
In this era, it is natural that some "smart people" have caught the loopholes.
The first is the issue of replacement of old coins.
Because of the proliferation of five-baht coins, the replacement of five-baht coins is very cheap. Even those thousands of bad coins may not be able to be replaced by a Qiusi coin. However, for bronzes, they are relatively tolerant.
.
As a result, some people began to forge bronze wares. The most common one is to mix lead into copper. Although if you add too much, the copper will become brittle, but the bronze castings are larger, and they are said to be collected from the Hu people.
Remnant items, etc., plus there were no very convenient measuring tools in the Han Dynasty. Even if Fei Qian asked the observatory people to develop a method similar to the "water measurement method", many border officials didn't understand it at all.
Sometimes there is no accurate number for more or less.
So much so that now, the copper collector is about to be smashed...
After all, the Huaxia Copper Mine itself is not rich, well, neither are the other mines. Don’t listen to the public chatter every day about how the land is vast and the resources are abundant. Rather, the land is vast, the minerals are scarce, and everything is lacking.
Another aspect is air tickets.
You can take it by ticket, it will be anonymous and it will not be reported as lost.
In addition to the problem of counterfeiting, this thing is too convenient for bribery.
Fei Qian slowly picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.
Nowadays, he uses more calligraphy brushes, and Fei Qian's calligraphy has gradually gained some skill. Although it is not to the level of Yan Zhenqing, it is at least decent and not like a dog crawling at the beginning.
Pang Tong watched from the side, "Officials... accounts... real-name system?"
Fei Qian nodded.
Pang Tong rolled his eyes and roughly understood what it meant, but he frowned again: "Lord, this is a method, but it is too easy to crack..."
Fei Qian laughed, "In a false name, in another name, in an unknown name, etc... right?"
Pang Tong nodded.
Fei Qian clicked on the words on the table again, "What's the matter? As long as you take this path, there will be traces after all... It's just a matter of checking or not... There are always other ways to study than these people."
Better?』
Pang Tong was a little confused at first. After thinking for a while, he put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Wonderful! If there is no such method, everyone will find their own way. With this method, there is only one way. This is the strategy of surrounding three towers."
Yeah! Wonderful, wonderful!』
Human nature itself is greedy and lazy. Without constant vigilance, it is easy to be controlled by one's own desires.
Is it because Fei Qian is not strong in dealing with corruption?
No, but there are still people who, for some reason, think they can "get lucky"...
There are such people in the Han Dynasty today, and they also exist in the feudal dynasties of later generations.
Then this "official account real-name system" can play a certain role. When you save money and use it, the stolen money will inevitably not be directly used in your own account, and once you use other people's accounts, it will inevitably leave traces.
Just like why in later generations, a certain currency has been able to complete the payment work and has been operating for a long time without any problems, but a certain currency still refuses to expand. Is it not because some people are afraid of being known by the country once it is digitized?
, then there will be too many fox tails to hide...
"In addition, about the smuggling matter," Fei Qian took another piece of paper and slowly began to write, while saying, "Has it been spread out? This matter should be settled before March.
Otherwise, the imperial examination will be delayed..."
Pang Tong nodded and said: "Reporting to my lord, the rumor has been spread..."
"Then?" Fei Qian asked as he wrote.
Pang Tong frowned, "It's a pity that this Wang family heroine may not have this ability... I'm afraid she is timid and fearful..."
Due to Wang Ying's character, she is somewhat timid and afraid of getting into trouble.
Fei Qian nodded, then wrote the last stroke, raised his pen, looked at it slightly, and smiled, "It doesn't matter...this female official is not just a daughter of the Wang family...Of course, if the Wang family is a female hero,
If you can really stand up, it will be better... Whether the system of female officials can be established early depends on whether this woman dares to get some blood... However, this Wang's daughter... let's see..."
On the table top, the four words "persuading people with reason" are written in ink, but there seems to be a faint hint of blood in the sharp edges of the strokes...
