He An swallowed his saliva. The post station is an important institution for transmitting military intelligence. It is also a place for officials to board and lodging and change horses on the way. It is an important channel for the defense force to transmit information. The East Vietnam Post Station is under the control of the Ministry of War, and the person in charge is the Minister of War.

In fact, there are three types of post stations in Dongyue: land stations, water stations and land and water stations. Stations are also called stations. There are more than a thousand stations in Dongyue alone. Local stations are managed by the local county magistrate.

It can be said that land belongs to land and water belongs to water. The division is quite appropriate.

This inn can carry messages and is equipped with horses, boats, fields, etc. Because it needs to convey information and letters, the inn mainly relies on horses and boats.

Land stations rely on horses, water stations rely on boats, and places with inconvenient transportation can only rely on human legs. Therefore, a fast horse can travel six stations a day, which is 18 miles. If it is a boat, it can be 40 miles if it is slow and 40 miles if it is fast.

One hundred and fifty miles.

There are big differences in sailing, mainly depending on the weather of the day. If there is a favorable wind, it will naturally be much faster. If people are delivering messages on foot, they are required to travel fifty miles a day. As the saying goes, one post passes by another, and the post and horse are like a stream of stars.

There are more than a thousand inns in Dongyue, and Qin Feng has not only 800 but also 700 rest stops. Almost every one of them is not far from the inn!

He started building these after making his first pot of gold, even earlier than Yuchun Tower, and has never stopped, including the current Southwest Line, where even the imperial court did not have a few inns.

The more He An thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. His boss and the others usually paid attention to the news at the inn, but they had not asked about it in the past two years. This was the first time they had done so. He hurriedly said: "The sea may not be peaceful recently."

"The number of people coming to Shuiyi is several times more than usual, and there is a lot of information exchanged. Yesterday, the young man had tea with an official there. He got carried away and said that there might be a battle with Nanying on the Southeast Sea.

"

What He An didn't say was that the official also said that if there was a war, Dongyue would lose. After all, He Yong was a waste and the navy was useless.

Seeing him touching his nose, Qin Feng snorted coldly: "Is there anything else that can't be said here? If you hide it, please change the manager of this rest stop. I heard that there is a person under you named Huang Laosan who is very effective.

?”

Although he knew Qin Feng was joking, He An's shoulders still sank slightly, and he said with a sad face: "My boss, since the establishment of this rest stop, I have no credit, but I have worked hard. My boss must not drive me away."

Watching him act, Qin Feng didn't say anything, and He An was helpless when no one paid attention to him for a while. He couldn't laugh or cry and said: "The main reason is that although the people in the post station are snobbish, they are just ordinary people, and they usually complain a little bit."

It makes sense.”

"Although they have a good reputation, they are not as good as the people at our rest stop. The Ministry of War needs to ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to use silver coins. However, this post station has to support horses, boats, and people. There is no need for money. Their

The salary has not changed for many years, and it becomes even more deserted during the holidays."

"It's just that there are a few noble people coming to the inn, and they will be rewarded with some extra silver for good service. According to the little one, they are not as good as our girls from Hongyu Tower, so they usually complain a lot in private, and the little one just listens and gets over it.

, I dare not say more."

Qin Feng had captured a lot of information at this time. The Bai family in Zhongyuan was a bit abnormal, and the young master Bai didn't look like a runaway at all.

This rest stop was built on the only way into Sui City. Since the group of people wanted to find someone, they did not go into the city to find someone, but insisted on staying here. Qin Feng's hands were slightly clasped, and an idea flashed across his mind.

But passing by is fleeting.

Then there were several times more people from Shuiyi. The sea in the southeast was not peaceful, so more information came and went. This showed that the court's attention might turn to the southeast next, and in the northwest there was Zhenbei Hou, whom Emperor Yuan was afraid of.

The southwest has become a place where no one pays attention!

God helps him!

Qin Feng read He An's words again. This He An was obviously from the Lian family, but he was full of oily air and could easily get along with the people at the inn.

"What these people complained about privately, they all came out in detail."

When He An heard this, he immediately laughed: "Yes, boss, what these people talk about most in private is that their salaries have been withheld, either with deductions or discounts. Their lives are difficult, and there may be a war.

If you are not stable, you will naturally complain a lot."

We all know how to withhold money. If you find a way to deduct the money, you will naturally get less money. And to fold things is to break the taels of salary that should have been paid into grain or cloth and give it to the people under you as salary.

This strategy has been used in history, and some people even used grain as their salary without paying any money, so there is even more room for this.

Qin Feng smiled and said, the world is as black as crows. People above are fighting for power, while people below are worried about food and clothing. The people in Sui City are all high-ranking officials. As a capital city, it is prosperous, but after leaving Sui City, there is another world.

What a great time.

Seeing that Qin Feng didn't speak, He An said: "I have some sympathy for them, and occasionally invite them to eat out. It's hard to get along well with them, and why are there so many people passing by?

Many people go to the city to make a living."

Qin Feng was thoughtful and raised the corners of his mouth: "You did a good job."

"I know that my boss placed me at such an important point for a purpose, but I don't know what my boss is..." He An is a smart man. A businessman spends so much money to build so many rest stops, and cooperates with the officials.

The inn is adjacent to each other, how can he not think too much about it?

Qin Feng knew He An's origins, raised his head and asked, "Have you ever been unwilling?"

He An's face was slightly stern, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Of course there is."

Long Qi didn't know He An's origin, but Qin Feng knew it. He was also a concubine of an official family. He didn't want to compete with his eldest brother, so he chose martial arts. Unexpectedly, his eldest brother poisoned his food.

It made his limbs weak.

When he was discovered, he was about to take the martial arts exam, and he had no time to detoxify or even recover, so he naturally failed. This frame-up made him angrily report it, but this kind of family matter was a mess, and his father, a fourth-rank military general,

Didn't make the decision for him.

It happened that his aunt was seriously ill and had been tampered with and died. After sending her away, He An left He's house in anger and wandered around. He happened to meet Qin Feng, whose pseudonym was Mr. Tushan, who helped him cure the remaining poison, and the two became acquainted.

.

Qin Feng, who knew He An's experience and was also suppressed a lot, and who had a relatively low status in the government, had a thought in his mind. He An had nowhere to go, so Qin Feng handed him the matter of building a rest stop and gave it to him.

Not to mention their whereabouts, although there are many rest stops nowadays, he is the one in charge.

He An came out of the official family and became a wanderer. Now he has no worries about food and clothing. He seems to be living a life that others envy, but he always has a breath in his heart. What Qin Feng wants is the breath in his heart.

"If you have it, that's good." Qin Feng didn't say much and said, "Thank you for your hard work, shopkeeper He."
