Beijing Army Peking Camp.

The sound of killing in the school field was loud, and the soldiers drilled meticulously according to the requirements.

The treatment of the Beijing army is naturally not bad, it is only one level lower than the Forbidden Army and roughly the same as the Kyoto garrison. However, there are still differences internally. Take the Beiying as an example, the officers of Pingnan Guard and Tai'an Guard are extremely jealous of Zangfeng Guard and Wuding Guard.

Food, you can really see meat and fish every day, and there is a big meal every few days.

Envy is envy, but the soldiers of the other two guards did not quarrel. It is not that they are willing to tolerate such a gap, because this is not deliberately partial by Pei Yue. In fact, the food standards and salary system of the four guards are exactly the same, there is no difference, Zangfeng Guard

He and Wu Dingwei didn't get a penny more. The reason why they ate so well was entirely because Pei Yue had so much money that he had no money to spend.

Although Yu Dazhi, the commander of the Pingnan Guards, was someone who was encircled by Emperor Kaiping, he did not dare to complain about this trivial matter. Not to mention that the Zangfeng Guards and Wuding Guards were soldiers brought out by Pei Yue on the battlefield.

How could he impeach Pei Yue in the name of such a thankless thing as using money to improve the soldiers' food?

Buying people's hearts for evil purposes?

Don’t forget that when Emperor Kaiping was poisoned and fell into coma, it was Pei Yue who worked hard to keep the emperor safe and joined forces with the Marquis of Guangping and others to thwart the ambitions of King Liu Zan of Yan. The court has already made public this, as evidenced by Pei Yue’s appointment of a first-class prince.

Of course Yu Dazhi would not ask for trouble.

"Hey..." He sighed softly.

Anyone who encounters this kind of thing will feel helpless. Yu Dazhi only regrets that he has no ability to make money, and he has been stepped on by others and has no way to fight back.

"Why did Commander Yu sigh?"

Tai'an Guard Commander Gao Ying came closer and asked with a smile on his face.

Yu Dazhi turned to look at him and said calmly: "No one is upset over there?"

Gao Ying relied on his relationship with Xiu Guofu to obtain the powerful military position of commander. He was not a loser himself, at least he had no problems with troop training. Of course, his attainments in command and military tactics would have to be tested in actual combat.

Hearing Yu Dazhi's question, Gao Ying laughed and said: "Who dares to make trouble? Our Beiying's military law is very strict. It is quite rare that Yang Qiancheng of Ningguo Mansion is famous for being selfless. Last time, a guerrilla from the Zangfeng Guard violated

Due to military regulations, not even Wei Rui dared to stop the execution by the people from the Military Justice Department."

He paused and said with emotion: "Furthermore, Commander Pei is using his own money to improve the food of his soldiers. Although there is a difference between closeness and distance, he is extremely fair in other aspects. Whether it is military books or wages and silver, these things

God has never treated us badly."

Yu Dazhi thought of his deputy commander named Fu Hongzhi in Pingnan Guard, and suddenly felt envious of the carefree guy next to him.

He looked with deep eyes toward the northeast corner of the school grounds, where there were several familiar figures walking slowly side by side. They were the chief generals of the Zangfeng Guard and Wuding Guard.

Wei Rui and Qin Xian were in the middle, with Chen Xianda, Luo Kedi, Meng Longfu and Xue Meng on the left and right.

Qin Xian looked at the dusty sky on the campus and said with a smile: "Old Chen, Tang Linfen took the lead this time. It's rare for you to be able to calm down and not make a fuss."

After the turbulent night of King Yan's rebellion, Chen Xianda seemed to have matured a lot and was no longer as reckless as before. Hearing this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Brother Qin is making fun of me again. They are all doing things for the Marquis, why bother?"

In what order?"

Meng Longfu, who was always taciturn, said softly: "Brother Qin, don't be deceived by this guy. He knows that the Marquis is only going south to welcome the bride this time. Tang Linfen is leading five thousand riders in Daliang to support him. There will be no military exploits at all. If this time

We are going to fight Nanfang with real swords and guns. If you see if he will be so calm, he will have his brains knocked out by now."

The crowd roared with laughter.

Chen Xianda's face turned red, but when faced with Meng Longfu who had grown up together in Nanying, he couldn't argue and could only shake his head in denial.

After laughing, Qin Xian said slightly worriedly: "There shouldn't be any danger when the Marquis goes south this time, right?"

Wei Rui said firmly: "Brother Qin, why should you worry? With Tang Linfen leading five thousand cavalry to support him all the way, and guarding the Wei camp all the way, who dares to have bad intentions towards the Marquis? The most important thing is, I don't think anyone in this world can

The plot is against the Marquis."

Others nodded frequently.

Qin Xian laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm overthinking it."

Luo Kedi suddenly asked: "Brother Qin, the Marquis will go south in a while. Should we join forces and set up a table for the Marquis to practice?"

Qin Xian pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "No need, he doesn't like these red tapes. We only need to train our soldiers well, which is the best reward for him."

Although he has never deliberately shown off his relationship with Pei Yue in front of others, he knows Pei Yue's thoughts best and knows that this is Pei Yue's true foundation.

As long as these two elite guards are at hand, Pei Yue will have a smooth journey.

In the distance, the soldiers' training finally ended, the dust and smoke gradually subsided, and the setting sun in the sky looked like blood.

…

Xicheng, Qingshui Street, Xiangyunhao Main Store.

In a spacious room in the inner courtyard, the sound of abacus beads was heard continuously, and dozens of smart and capable accountants were busy doing calculations.

Wang Yong is sitting on the main seat, holding an account book in his left hand, and recording a series of numbers on the paper with his right hand. This is a new accounting method passed down by Pei Yue, and it has been popularized throughout the Xiangyun. Wang Yong is the general manager.

, Pei Yue's personal entourage, second only to Deng Zai, actually did not need to do it himself, but he did not want to be deceived by others, so he learned this method early.

Time passed quietly, and a middle-aged accountant walked to the side, lowered his head and said: "General Manager, the number of available grains in each store has been calculated."

After Wang Yong heard the figures he said, he said solemnly: "This is not enough. Continue to send people to Qinzhou and Lizhou to collect grain."

The price of rice in Kyoto has always been stable due to the cooperative operation of the Ministry of Revenue and Xiangyun. The big accountant obviously didn't understand why so much grain was suddenly hoarded. However, he knew the background of his employer so he didn't dare to ask more. He just said with a slight hesitation:

"General manager, I will definitely receive the food, but the problem is that there is not much money on the books, so I have to leave some for emergencies. How about talking to the Marquis first..."

Wang Yong's face darkened and he said coldly: "Is this a small matter worthy of bothering Mr. Hou? I'm sending someone to Qinyuan now. They have collected a lot of cash recently, and they can't use it for the time being. Borrowing it will be enough to support it.

For a period of time. You should allocate all the deposits in the company's account and be sure to purchase enough grain within a month."

"Yes." The big accountant didn't dare to say anything and quickly accepted the order.

Wang Yong sent his personal servant to leave the Xiangyun and rushed directly to Qinyuan in Changlefang.

Qinyuan is now in charge of Qin Min, with Yang Hu and Chen Danian assisting.

In the dark room, after listening to Wang Yong's report, Qi Min glanced at Chen Danian and Yang Hu next to him, nodded and said: "No problem, I will have someone send the money over tomorrow. By the way, I will send someone there."

Report to the young master, remember to tell Wang Yong, don’t forget this matter.”

Although they are both Pei Yue's properties, Xiangyun and Qinyuan are two independent systems, and there is no connection in the books. According to normal procedures, such a large amount of money must be moved without asking Pei Yue in advance, but because

Pei Yue has not been in Kyoto in recent days, and he has given them the right to do whatever they want in advance, so they only need to report in detail.

"Yes, I have remembered it." The boy left in a hurry.

Chen Danian thought for a while and said to Qi Min: "It has been more than a month since Qinyuan opened. When will you send our account books to the back?"

Qi Min smiled and said, "Do you still need to remind me? I had someone send it there seven days ago."

Yang Hu had a calm temperament and did not like small talk. After this episode passed, he said: "Okay, let's continue to discuss how to establish a complete secret agent system in Kyoto."

The lights in the room were bright, and the three people were talking enthusiastically, but they were all somewhat curious about who was in the house behind Qinyuan.

Behind Qinyuan, across the street.

Wearing a thin shirt, Nongyu came to the study room with a bowl of herbal tea. Looking at the frowning young woman at the desk, she said with both distress and amusement: "Girl, why do you need to rush such a thing in a moment?"

Chen Xizhi looked at the dense numbers on the account book in front of him, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, took a few sips from the porcelain bowl.

"Girl, why don't you take a rest today?" Nongyu asked with concern.

Chen Xizhi shook his head and said expressionlessly: "Now that I am living under someone else's roof, and my life and death are in the hands of others, how can I feel like lying down? It is only right to finish it earlier, so as not to give others an excuse to have an attack."

Nongyu was a little surprised. Is the girl really changing?

She suddenly felt a little happy, because although this kind of life was boring, it was safer and more stable than the fear of the past years.

"Then I'll accompany the girl."

A flower-like smile bloomed on Nongyu's face, and she sat obediently next to Chen Xizhi.

Chen Xizhi didn't say much and continued to do the tedious work of writing documents.

The night is getting darker, and thousands of lights in the city are brightly lit.

In the shadows at the corner of the long street, two vigorous figures flashed past.

"Would you like to go in and check it out?"

"No, it's not the time yet. Wait for instructions from above before making a decision. Besides, this place must be heavily guarded. We can't alert the enemy."

"That's fine. In fact, the opportunity at Gulinyi was so good. If we could... there would be so many troubles later."

"Ha...what's the rush?"

The two people's voices were so soft that they couldn't be heard clearly if they were a little farther away. After a while, their figures completely disappeared into the night.
