The next day, Shen Yi went up three poles and was still sleeping peacefully.
Yesterday, I drank too much wine and indulged a little bit, which made me really tired, so Mr. Shen took a long nap.
He is a person who loves to sleep.
Both Shen Yi from Jiangdu Prefecture and the current Shen Yi like to sleep very much. When he was studying at Ganquan Academy in his early years, he was slapped by Mr. Qin for getting up late.
But now Shen Yi, because he has too many things on his shoulders, has not really slept in for a long time.
The sun shone down and fell beside Shen Yi's bed. Shen Yi, who was still sleeping soundly, suddenly opened his eyes and sat up suddenly.
Then he looked around in shock, looked down at his bed and the newly changed clothes, wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead with his sleeves, and kept breathing heavily.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Chan, who was sorting out documents for Shen Yi in the outer room, heard the noise and quickly walked into the bedroom. She sat on the edge of the bed and wiped Shen Yi's sweat with her sleeves. She was a little worried: "Have you had a nightmare?"
Mr. Shen took a deep breath and nodded slowly: "Well, I had a nightmare."
Ye Chan sighed slightly and said: "When you reach the stage of the young master, the only thing that can scare the young master into such a nightmare is family and country affairs."
At this moment, Shen Yi finally came to his senses. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and regained his composure.
"I dreamed that I was defeated in Shandong, and the Qi people marched straight in and came to Jiankang City."
Shen Yi put on his coat under Ye Chan's service, looked up out of the window, then looked down at his palms, and murmured: "What a big dream."
"It makes me wonder if I am still in a dream."
Ye Chan turned around, poured a cup of tea for Shen Yi, and said softly: "Young master, you just have too many things to do. You have something to think about every day and dream about every night."
Shen Yi took the tea, took a sip, and walked to the outhouse.
His study and bedroom were connected together, so the outer room was where he worked. At this time, there were more than a dozen documents piled on the table. Ye Chan sorted them out and put them on the table.
Shen Yi sat at the table and asked, "Is there anything important you want me to deal with?"
Ye Chan shook her head slightly and said, "If there was, I would have called the young master up long ago."
She looked at Shen Yi's appearance and felt a little distressed: "If I had known that the young master was having a nightmare, I would have woken him up to save him from such a fright."
Shen Yi had returned to normal at this time. Hearing this, he smiled at Ye Chan and said, "I was just about to be scared. After being scared like this, I will be more cautious in doing things in the future."
"Moreover."
Shen Yi looked at the sky outside the window, stretched and said, "I haven't had such a good night's sleep in a long time, and now I finally have enough energy."
After saying this, Shen Yi turned over the paperwork on the table.
Most of them are documents reporting the current situation of the three armies that have been separated. Currently, the two armies on the left and right, as well as the vanguard army, are moving in their respective directions at the expected speed.
As for the Qi people in Jinan Prefecture, there has been no change yet.
Shen Yi quickly looked through the documents. After making sure that there was nothing important, he breathed a sigh of relief. After thinking about it for a while, he took out a stack of papers from the drawer.
Ye Chan very wisely stepped forward and polished the ink for him.
Shen Yi picked up his pen and started writing official documents to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
As the Huai'an Army's stalls get bigger and bigger, not to mention military pay, but also daily food is a problem, and it is necessary to urge the Ministry of Household for food from time to time.
In addition to asking for food from the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Er, Zhao Jizhou, who worked under Shen Yi, was also actively taking food from Zhu Li's pocket to maintain the logistics of the Huai'an army.
Ye Chan stood next to Shen Yi and glanced at what Shen Yi had written. After hesitating for a moment, she whispered: "Sir, is our army short of food?"
"If there is a shortage of food, I can write a letter and ask my brother to find a way to transfer some."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "To get here from Fujian, there are thousands of mountains and rivers. Even if there is food delivered, most of it will be consumed along the way. The gain outweighs the loss."
"Moreover."
Shen Yi touched his chin and said, "Actually, our army is not particularly short of food."
After saying this, the document under his hand had been written. After drying the ink, he smiled and said: "The reason why I complained to the Ministry of Revenue about poverty is that I had to ask for more from them, so that one day in the future, I would not have to pay for it." When that elder cannot fully control the household department, the Huai'an army will not be immediately restrained by food and grass."
Having said this, Shen Yi thought for a while and looked to the north.
"If we can capture Jinan Prefecture, we can control most of Shandong, and then there will be no such thing as food shortage."
Ye Chan stood beside him and shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid the imperial court will not allow you, the young master, to freely control the food and grass in Shandong."
Now, Mr. Shen is in great power.
The seal handle and the gun barrel are all in your own hands.
The only thing that can restrain him is his money bag.
Of course, the money bag mentioned here does not refer to money, but generally refers to money and food, that is, economic power.
Shen Yi looked up at Ye Chan and smiled dumbly: "Chan'er's words are taboo to say."
Ye Chan didn't say much, she just smiled and said, "Young Master, you can certainly see more clearly than I do."
Mr. Shen stood up, yawned and said: "Now even the Prime Minister of Zhongshu dares not shortchange my money and food without a justifiable reason. If he really dares to make things difficult for me, the worst I can do is to go back to Jiankang and become an official." , just let them fight this battle."
This is naturally a joke.
After all, Shen Yi is unlikely to entrust the Huai'an army he brought out by himself into the hands of others.
Ye Chan naturally understood, she pursed her lips and smiled, but said nothing.
Mr. Shen stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go and eat."
"Seeing that it's noon, I'm going to starve to death."
Ye Chan nodded obediently and winked playfully.
"I obey my orders~"
………………
In the afternoon, Shen Yi met with the suspected sixth man in the living room.
That is Shen Yan.
Shen Yan has been staying in Yanzhou for a month or two now. Although Shen Yi didn't make it difficult for him, he didn't let him leave either.
At this time, after two months, he finally saw Shen Yi again. Standing in front of Shen Yi, he was both excited and at a loss.
Because he didn't know how to address Shen Yi.
After gritting his teeth, he still lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "Master Shen."
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Call me Shen Qi."
He pointed to the chair and said, "Shen...Brother Shen, sit down and talk."
Shen Yan nodded quickly and sat down.
After sitting down, he looked up at Shen Yi and asked, "Master Shen, when you see me today, are you going to let me leave Yanzhou?"
Shen Yi nodded silently.
"My people have been investigating for more than a month and have basically been able to confirm your identity, Brother Shen."
Shen Yan was overjoyed and said, "I can finally leave. Thank you, Mr. Shen, for knowing everything!"
Shen Yi took a sip of tea, looked at him with a smile, and said, "Brother Shen really wants to leave so much?"
Shen Yan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "It's not that I have to leave Yanzhou. It's just that when I came here alone to discuss business, my family was still in the north."
Shen Yi thought for a while and asked, "Where is Brother Shen's home? Is it in Yandu?"
Shen Yan shook his head slightly and said, "My home is in Taiyuan Mansion."
After a pause, he added: "But there is also a lot of business in Yandu, and sometimes we will go there."
Shen Yi nodded, took a sip of tea, and then asked, "So, is Brother Shen from Taiyuan?"
Shen Yan was stunned when he heard this, then looked up at Shen Yi. After being silent for a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "My father has always considered himself from Jiangdu. I followed him to Taiyuan since I was a child. Now I don't know where I am from."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter whether you are from Taiyuan or Jiangdu."
"I just want to ask Brother Shen."
Shen Yi said calmly: "Is your family still Chen's?"
Shen Yan was silent for a long time, lowered his head and said, "I think I am."
Shen Yi nodded and asked again: "Where is your father?"
Shen Yan shook his head slightly: "Master Shen, I can't answer for the elder."
Shen Yi nodded, expressing understanding.
"That's it, I'll let Brother Shen leave. After Brother Shen returns to Taiyuan, he can tell your father for me."
"I'd like to meet him if I have a chance."
Shen Yan looked at Shen Yi and asked, "Are you meeting in Yanzhou?"
Mr. Shen smiled hoarsely: "Looking at Brother Shen's tone, he seems reluctant to meet in Yanzhou."
Shen Yan lowered his head and said nothing.
Shen Yi looked out the window: "Then change places."
“How is Jinan?”
Shen Yan's expression changed slightly, and after being silent for a long time, he slowly lowered his head.
