From the map, the distance between Hangzhou and Poyang Lake, that is, Pengli Lake, a small map is nothing more than a slap, but it is not easy to get to it when it is really walking.
Riding a horse and using a fast carriage, I have been on the road for eight days. Zhang Xiaobao and others still have two days away from the purpose of this trip. The main reason is that they need to walk on the plank road when they encounter the mountains. The speed is fast and fast. Can't get up.
Fortunately, various important water systems in Datang, under the vigorous promotion of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, received more and more attention, so the roads along the coast were also well repaired.
The imperial court now spends more than ten million dollars in maintenance and repairs every year, and the amount is very large, accounting for one-sixteenth or one-seventh of its fiscal revenue.
And it is increasing year by year, and the money is not practical for maintenance. Most of the money is invested in improving the fields around the water systems.
Without such a large investment, it is impossible to have so much fiscal revenue. When the land transportation speed is not enough, the waterway accounts for a large proportion of the logistics application, especially when the water is downwind, and then sail down. Even a fast horse running on the shore is not as good as a boat running in the water.
When the horse is exhausted, the ship does not need to rest, and the technology of shipbuilding is now more advanced.
Therefore, the carriage of Zhang Xiaobao and others is now only half a day away from the destination of Duchang, and the roads along the river are relatively wide enough, with a distance of five meters each.
It's all paved with soil and gravel, and then flattened with a big stone roller. There is a road paved with gravel for people to walk beside. It is not wide, but there is absolutely no problem when people walk. .
The reason why the horse walks is not concrete. It is because of the horseshoe problem. Zhang Xiaobao has specially tested it. Even if the horse is shoveled, he still can’t run continuously on the concrete road. The wear is too bad and the friction is in the process. , The heat generated is also easy to injure the horse.
When it rains, the road along the river is not easy to walk. There are muddy places. Horses and other livestock pass by. Every hoof falls, it will leave a small pit on the road. The rain will enter for a long time. Quit.
Now Zhang Xiaobao and the five people have encountered this trouble. About half a day away from Duchang, a moderate rain fell. In less than half an hour, the road flattened by stone rollers was moistened by the rain. , The horse hoof fell on it, bringing up a little dirt with each drop.
At this moment, the person driving the car changed from Zhang Xiaobao to Zhang Yu. Zhang Xiaobao was disguised. He was afraid of being hit by rain. Even if there is grease in the cosmetics, it is easy to be washed away.
"It's almost thirty miles away? Go to the pavilion in front and take a break, and look at the sky. I guess the rain will not last too long." Wang Juan raised the curtain of the car, looked at the rain outside, and sat in front of the car. Zhang Yu said.
"I saw the pavilion." Zhang Yu, wearing a hat, looked through the not thick rain curtain, saw the pavilion in front, and replied to the person in the car.
The pavilions along the river are specially designed for people to rest. There is one in every thirty miles. It is about the same as Sanshui County. It is much stronger than before. Not to mention the pavilions specially built before, even in the villages with a little more people. Nearby, it is also difficult to find a place to rest alone.
In the past, people who didn't dare to take a boat or couldn't take a boat could only walk with their feet. If they were tired, they could find a place nearby. If they could meet a village, it would be pretty good.
In places with a lot of people, there may be simple sheds built there for pedestrians to rest and eat. Basically, they don’t make money. People who walk don’t have much money. They also bring food from their homes, and there are dried cakes. There are fried rice, of course, the noodles are not pure white noodles.
When you arrive at a resting place, if you don’t want to spend money and tea, you can only ask for a bowl of cold water and eat with your food. If you are not hungry, it is good. Naturally, you will sleep next to the shed, otherwise you will easily encounter beasts.
Now it’s much more convenient to have a pavilion, one for thirty miles, and one for twenty miles where the road is very difficult, and there are people from nearby villages who are specially guarded, allowing the use of hunting bows, hunting beasts and other things to sell money or eat by yourself.
A few minutes later, the carriage came to the pavilion. At this time, many passers-by were waiting in the pavilion. There was also a fire in the pavilion. The kettle on the rack was steaming, and people could drink hot water at any time.
Speaking of the pavilion, it is not the kind that is ventilated on all sides. It is a two-story building with a floor made of cement and bricks underneath. It is three meters high, and above it is a pavilion made of wood on the roof of a cement-built house.
The house below was built together when Zhengzheng building repaired the embankment. There was no pavilion above, but the locals felt that the house was strong but not beautiful, so they got wood from the mountain and built it on the top. I left a pavilion, which looks beautiful now.
With the appearance of the first pavilion, there was a second. As a result, all the pavilions on both sides of the Yangtze River had their own characteristics. Some people even hung wind chimes at the corners of the pavilions.
The pavilion where Zhang Xiaobao and others stayed is very beautiful. It has four corners on it, and it was painted with a red color with paint. Some of the sides have not been painted yet, revealing the black and yellow wood inside. I think the paint is not enough. Up.
There is a fence around the pavilion. It is made of wood and is three feet high. There are also seats together. Three people who came to the pavilion to shelter from the rain are standing on it, feeling the coolness of the rain from the outside. , It is estimated that when the rain stops, the clothes on the three of them are all soaked.
The rest of the people are not in that mood, they just stay there. Some people come early and have seats. They just sit there. Those who come late may squat or stand with tea or drinks in their hands, eat what they bring, and spare money. Those who are more willing to spend money buy other food from the pavilion guards.
There are two people guarding the pavilion, one in his fifties and the other in his thirties. From the looks of them, they should be the father and the son.
The older ones are wrinkled, and those in their thirties have a slightly inconvenient leg. They can walk at a smaller pace than a normal person, and they can’t get enough strength. Maybe they have been injured.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan did not see that each other had polio, but their legs were uncomfortable, and there was no problem in other places.
There were also a spear and a longbow hung on the wall for hunting. Although the roads are well repaired, there are still many wild animals. Military guns cannot be given to ordinary people.
The knowledge hunting bow is allowed to be used by the common people. Occasionally, a wild boar will come out of the mountain, or it may be a wolf or a tiger. This was something that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan didn’t even think about at the time. They wanted to see these animals, except The place dedicated to breeding is the zoo.
But the control of swords and spears is even looser, let alone ordinary people, even a literati, with a sword, no one cares, self-defense things are indispensable.
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at the pavilion, the people in the house also looked at the five of them. The carriage was parked not far from the door, and the horse had rain gear for shelter. The people in the house could clearly see the three. Horses.
At this glance, I knew that the five people who came in were not ordinary people. The horses were good. Even people who didn't know about Soma could feel that the three horses were much stronger than the horses used to plow the land.
This is the south of the Yangtze River. There are few horses in the farmland. The horses brought from other places are usually drawn by carts. Now the horses used are basically oxen. The horses of the original Turkic and Tubo, as well as the extra army horses, are all used in the north.
The main reason is that the horse farming paddy field is not so good, not as good as the cow, but in the dry field, the cow is far inferior to the horse.
These three horses are eliminated military horses at first glance. They don’t know how effective they are when they are in battle, but there is absolutely no problem in pulling a cart. Even if a short sprint is not required, the speed of this kind of horse is faster than that of a special one. The horse is fast, and the endurance depends on where the horse is.
If it is a horse that has been eliminated by the frontier army and used for long-distance raids, the endurance is absolutely nothing to say, but if it is replaced with a horse used in the city to fight the key counter assault warfare, the requirement is not endurance, but short. The sprint speed within the time, come back after the fight, don't chase people too far.
Everyone in front of the three horses didn't know which one they belonged to, but if they guessed, they thought they could run long distances. Otherwise, if you pull a cart, you might as well get a mule.
With a guess in his mind, the quick-talker asked, and asked Zhang Xiaobao: "The horse is not bad, how much did it cost?"
He talked to Zhang Xiaobao because Zhang Xiaobao's dress showed that it was the head of the other four people. Ning Tian's appearance was not a very close person, and there was no difference between Zhang Xiaobao and Ning Tian.
The figure and face shape are very similar. This is why Zhang Xiaobao had to talk to Ning Tianduo. At the beginning, he just wanted to talk, but after seeing Ning Tian, Zhang Xiaobao had other ideas temporarily, so Only then did Wang Juan paint a few more pictures.
If Ning Tian had a short flat head and shaved his beard, that Zhang Xiaobao would be in trouble. He would be so tired that he would not be able to figure out his current outfit. This is usually the reason why the prisoner's head is shaved. In addition to hygiene, it is more easy to identify.
Hearing other people's questions, Zhang Xiaobao used the imitated Ning Tian's voice and said to the people sitting there drinking, "It doesn't cost much, it's not expensive, it's just bought by someone on the road."
When others heard what he said, they didn't believe it. They just felt that he didn't want to say it deeply, so no one wanted to force him to say it, and everyone was not familiar with it.
At this time, people with inconvenient legs and feet saw the five people coming in, and their eyes lit up. It could be seen from the clothes on the five people that they belonged to the richer kind.
If you have money, you can make more money. The function of the pavilion is to provide convenience to passers-by. Even if people don't spend money, they stay in the pavilion. Those who guard the pavilion are not allowed to drive people. At the same time, hot water is also free.
The only way to get money is that someone is willing to spend more to eat other things. The pavilion is built on the riverside. The fish in the river is indispensable. There are also drinks and tea. There are still other foods prepared by each pavilion guard.
Of course, even if there is no additional income, it’s nothing. Everyone who guards the pavilion has government subsidies, such as those who are physically inconvenient, will be arranged to come in, and they are not allowed to leave casually, let alone go outside. Hunting and playing.
If a certain pavilion is in trouble, such as a wolves siege, then the person guarding the pavilion can't see it, hide in the pavilion, and send a signal to set off fireworks and wolf smoke, and someone will come to help.
As for the fact that someone in the pavilion hurts the person who guards the pavilion, it is impossible to happen now. Now that the people of Datang are living well, who has the time to harm people.
If someone dared to say that the mountain is king, and then rob passers-by, such as running to the Yangtze River in the eight hundred miles of water, pick up the flag today, and tomorrow the cannon will level the mountain you occupy.
Not to mention that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have developed Datang for such a long time. Even if the two of them did not come to develop, there were not many executed prisoners in Datang during this period.
If you have energy, you might as well think of ways to do more lucrative work. Robbery is a difficult road. Once you find out, you will definitely be arrested.
Therefore, the people who guard the pavilion do not make much money, but their lives are stable, and they don’t know how to make human flesh buns. The green forest heroes have long disappeared, and there are no big gangs. They are made up of the children of small, wealthy people. organization.
They are considered triads, but they don’t dare to hurt people. Generally speaking, they went hunting in the mountains, or swaggered in the streets, raising a dog, fighting a cock, even if they were a triad, they wanted to collect protection fees. Grabbed away.
The business of Zhang Wang's family is all over Datang. Once a branch finds such a thing, someone will come to check it immediately, and if it is found, it will definitely be cleaned up.
In the steady state, those who guard the pavilion want to earn more, and those with inconvenient legs deliberately brought a tray over and said to Zhang Xiaobao, "Brother, are you hungry?"
"I'm hungry." Zhang Xiaobao is actually not hungry, but if people want to make money, they have to help them. How can you make money if you don't buy from them, donate directly to them, and they definitely don't, unless you are a bright identity and say you are Zhang Xiaobao. In that case, throw out a handful of money, people can accept it, and then take it home and use it as an amulet for your loved ones at home.
The person guarding the pavilion didn't know what Zhang Xiaobao thought. When he heard that he was hungry, a smile appeared on his face and asked, "What do you want to eat?"
"What to eat? For five people, don't make too much, you can't finish it." Zhang Xiaobao said, looking around, looking for a place.
Before he was wondering how to get someone to get a table out, the older man had already picked up a folded table from the next partition room, squeezed out an empty space, put the table in place, and there were five more. Wooden stool, the kind without backrest.
"Old man Qi, why didn't you take out the table when we came? Is it because we pay less for what we usually eat?" Someone immediately joked to the old man when he saw the table.
"It's not good for the girl to stand with a girl." The old man surnamed Qi didn't care about what the other party said, and casually found a reason.
Zhang Yu was clever, smiling at the people around him, showing the kindness he should be, and quickly went over to wipe the table, and the stool was rubbed and rubbed with the sleeves, as if he was a man.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sat down unceremoniously, and the dishes were put on the table immediately. There were no hot dishes. They were all cold. The only hot things were boiled tea eggs and normal salted eggs. There were quite a few, which tasted great. I’m hungry, and it’s easy to carry around, and it’s not easy to break. I can still eat it if I leave it for three to five days.
The dishes on the table include dried fish, marinated chicken, and a plate of mixed greens, plus smoked meat from unknown animals.
Zhang Xiaobao doesn't worry about being poisoned by others, unless the person guarding the pavilion is more powerful than him, knows how to disguise and hide, and also knows his identity and specifically harms him.
He stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of cut bacon, chewed it in his mouth, nodded in satisfaction, and said to Wang Juan: "Yes, wild boar meat, it tastes very good, just bite hard."
When it heard it was wild pork, the three of Wang Gang also moved their chopsticks. Usually they were busy doing things and couldn't eat it at all. Unless they had no task, they went back to their branch, and then submitted a special report on what to eat. Things can only be obtained for them from above.
Especially Wang Gang, the spy personnel who belonged to the Zhang family's family, has the best welfare. Generally, the quantity is not particularly scarce. He can get it if he applies, including peppers, potatoes, and tomatoes.
"Old man Qi, I came back from work yesterday and asked if you have any wild boar. How did you tell me? You said you have eaten it all, and you will have it today?"
The person who just joked said to the old man again.
"You kid knows that eating wild boar is expensive. It will save you money and give it to your mother-in-law. If you really don’t want to eat it for you every day, you won’t eat all the money you earned from your work. Be careful that your mother-in-law does not let you in." Old man Qi glared at each other and said.
"She dare. I borrowed her two courage. There is no wild boar. Hudou always has it? I really didn't have a dish of salted beans. I went back after drinking the wine. It seems that I can't continue to work today."
Before he finished his wine, a dish of smoked chicken was gone.
Zhang Xiaobao winked at Wang Gang. Wang Gang stood up and went out and returned to the car. After a little time, he took back a big oil paper bag and opened it to reveal the contents.
Meat that is darker than smoked wild boar was prepared by Zhang Xiaobao and brought out to eat on the road. The stewed donkey meat is not eaten by ordinary people. It is similar to cattle and belongs to the labor force. Every household needs to file with the government. , Even if you are sick, you have to tell others, don’t think that the animals are yours.
"When I came over, I brought some donkey meat. At that time, a family donkey died accidentally. I bought a piece and tasted it. There was a lot of meat. I ate it all the way and I was tired of it."
While Wang Gang was talking, he began to distribute donkey meat to others, piece by piece, which was also cut, which he had just cut in the car.
When I heard that it was donkey meat, and it was eaten by others, the people in the house expressed their gratitude, and at the same time became more talkative.
In the end, there was a little left. Wang Gangquan gave the old man who had just teased him, and said with a smile: "Is it hard to live in rainy days, your surname?"
"Menggui, the last name is Liu, and the bad name is a long character. Are you on your way for a long time?" The other party became more enthusiastic when he saw that they gave more donkey meat.
"It turned out to be Brother Liu. We have walked for many days, and the road is still good. I heard the old man say that if we want to walk the same distance, it will take at least three times longer."
Wang Gang didn't use other excuses to perfuse. He directly said that he and others came from a distance, and talked about gossip, feeling very emotional.
"That's right. Ten years ago, let alone three times the time, five times as much time as him. At that time, the riverside road was not easy to walk. Except for the cliffs, there were forests. Walking inside was very scary. It's easy to say that it's too common to lose your life accidentally at night.
You were young at that time and you shouldn’t have traveled. You have to figure out how far you go every day and where to rest. Don’t dare to walk casually. Don’t go into the woods when you encounter the woods. There was a snake and insect in it, and it bite to death.
Now I’m all right, I’m not afraid, build a road along the river, and make it wider every day. After a few years, it will become what you are in front of you. If you want to hurry, come out at any time, don’t worry, find a pavilion to rest Rest, you can’t eat the wind, nor can you be hungry.
Even if you don’t have a penny, you still have food without money in the pavilion, but the taste is not very good. You can eat the thick corn as you like. You exhaust yourself to death. "
When Liu Changyi spoke, he felt a lot of emotion. When he talked about the past, compared with the present, it can be said that he recalls bitterness and thinks sweetly.
When he said this, the people around him also echoed out loudly, talking about how and how before, and what is now. There is no lack of praise for the Emperor Li Longji of the Tang Dynasty in his words, and more talk about the little cuckoo.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked at each other with blissful smiles. Wang Gang and the three were also proud, especially Wang Gang. This is what the protagonist Little Young Master and Little Lady did. Who could have thought of what they are today ten years ago
After being happy for a moment, he continued to say to Liu Chang: "Big Brother Liu, I don't know what kind of work you do? Can't you go out on rainy days?"
"It’s not a good job. It’s just about twenty essays a day. It’s just by the river, showing people the boat and seeing where the boat is not good, and helping to repair the boat. We have six people together and do this. Don’t It sounds easy to watch the boat, and most people can't do this."
Speaking of the money he earns, he is humble, but his expression and tone are not at all humble. Twenty essays a day does not include the cost of repairing the ship.
Wang Gang quickly showed that you are very powerful, and said: "It turns out to be a handicraft, which is great. I don't know how to watch the boat. The boat. Is it not clear what is wrong with my own use? Give me a boat, and I will Take care of it."
"If I use it myself, I can know what's wrong, but when I look at the boat, I don’t look at the immediate problems, but the future. I tell you that some boats look fine. It’s too short, waiting for those who have a boat to see that it will cost more. The boat will save a year of money by using it for one more year, which is not cheap."
Liu Chang began to talk to Wang Gang about the importance of watching boats.
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan listened with smiles. They really didn’t know that the boats were also watched by others. They only knew that the old cars needed someone to watch. People who were good at repairing cars sat in the houses on the side of the road and the cars passed by. , Just listen to the sound to know if the car is faulty and what is wrong.
Perhaps people who see through are just like ordinary drivers, who can fix simple problems by themselves, but there is absolutely no real craftsmanship.
Wang Gang chatted with the people in the house and talked about Duchang, knowing that it is very strict right now and it is under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou. He also knows that Xunyang Mansion is still allowed to enter and not to leave. Only the local people working at the wharf , Under the condition of mutual guarantee, the goods can be shipped out of the city to the dock.
"Big Brother Liu, do you know any fun things about Duchang? My master likes things like this, such as fighting crickets, putting an eagle or something, and everything that makes people comfortable and enjoyable, my master is willing to go Try it.
Seeing that it is about to reach the place, I will go on the road as soon as the rain stops, but I can't get there and my eyes will be darkened. If you know, tell me. "
After chatting for a while, when the rain began to decrease, Wang Gang finally asked his purpose.
Liu Chang heard Wang Gang's question, showing a mysterious look, and said: "Now you are asking the right person. Do you know where I am? I am the person from Duchang that you want to find out. There are six of us. A shipbuilding place specializes in building fishing boats. Many of the fishing boats in the lake are built by us.
My life has always been very peaceful. Who would have thought that someone would kill Beckham and the others. Although they were unsuccessful, our supervision was strict, especially for those who beg for life in the lake. We have to check it every day, when? When going out, where to go fishing, or to carry people, you have to ask.
If you can’t answer, or if you are hesitating, you will definitely be arrested and checked carefully. Life is not as good as before, and our shipbuilders are also not good at picking up jobs.
In the past, someone wanted to build a ship, just come over and give a deposit, but now it has to go through several procedures before allowing us to build a ship.
I couldn't receive jobs for several days, and there were other people who had no livelihoods, so they had to come out to find something to do, but there was no way. "
"Ah? Brother Liu, you can't live anymore?" Wang Gang asked in surprise.
"Young man, don't listen to him nonsense. He wants to make more money. The investigation is strictly enforced. It is because the talents in Xunyang City cannot do things, and Du Chang is not greatly affected." Old man Qi said aloud next to him.
Liu Chang chuckled and said, "Yes, I want to make more money. Think about it. The Zhang family has put the entire Jiangzhou under martial law, and they will definitely be compensated. After that, the money will not be less.
But I am not staying at home now. I do things and do one day's work to earn one more day's money. Otherwise, how dare I use most of the money I earn every day to eat and drink and save some money? Just because there is compensation. "
"Wang Wang and his family said they were compensated?" Zhang Xiaobao asked.
Liu Chang shook his head: "I didn't say, but I believe it will be compensated. The Zhang Wang family are the pillars of Datang and will not intentionally harm us, and they don't want our money.
In fact, to put it conscientiously, it doesn’t matter if they don’t compensate us. It’s just a delay in work. I have a little savings at home, and I’m also very angry. Beckham and the others come once, but the result is still not there. It's horrible to let people figure it out when they get ashore.
If you let me know who did it, I will use a chisel to kill him. If the Zhang and Wang family don’t compensate directly when things pass, it’s better to help us with ideas to make it easier for us to make money in the future. , How did you say that? It is better to teach people how to catch fish if it is for mermaids.
To live, I have to take a long-term view. Now it’s not what it used to be. I am always worried that there will be three meals a day but not the next. Now I have three meals a day and the money saved in the bank. "
Zhang Xiaobao thanked him and turned back to continue drinking. Wang Gang asked Liu Chang again: "Brother Liu, since you are from Duchang, it is better to talk about the fun things there, such as those that most people can't afford to play. Is there anything like worshipping Buddha?"
Wang Gang just wanted to know whether ordinary people also knew about the drug abuse situation. If they knew it, it means that the other party had started to do it blatantly. If they didn't understand it, then the other party was still afraid.
Liu Chang didn’t answer immediately this time. Instead, he lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and raised his head and said: “If you want to say something interesting, it can only be on the lake. The previous Pengli Lake was full of goods and people. Go back and forth, plus fishing boats.
Now there are more cruise ships there. I heard people say that there is a cruise ship for enjoyment. It never stops and hides in a remote place. The average person can’t find it. But people who have been there say it’s good, and there are The officials passed.
I don't know the details. I haven't been on a ship, and ordinary people can't get on it. I heard that there are places for them in the city before, but when it became strict, they had no news.
But you have to be careful in the past. I wondered that it’s not a good place. I heard it mentioned by the shipbuilder that there were miracles there, and they were all messed up. There were also some monsters that Xiaobao and Cuckoo belonged to, anyway. Do not believe.
They shouldn’t be good people. If you don’t want to play, don’t play. There are dog fights in the city. You can buy some dogs, but it’s too bloody to watch. Good dogs, you have to let them bite each other. ,Why bother. "
Liu Chang's remarks were a bit incoherent, as if they were evasive, and they seemed to be a little angry.
When Zhang Xiaobao looked at Liu Chang’s appearance, he understood many things in his heart. That power is no longer small, but he always likes to keep his appearance, so the people don’t want to mention it. People who believe in ghosts and gods have been there since ancient times, and have never It will not be less.
The spy personnel in his own house probably did not find the ship. Perhaps the other party’s secrecy measures are very perfect. The spy personnel don’t want to catch the other person in the city, so as not to let the people on the hiding ship detect it and slip through the net. .
What I don't understand is that since local officials are also there, why the intelligence personnel at home can't follow the trail to find the ship, it's very interesting.
If he was thinking about it, Zhang Xiaobao looked at the sky outside, the rain had become smaller, and if he walked out, he didn't have to worry about getting wet and drizzling.
Then he nodded to Wang Juan, drank the wine in the bowl, and said to Zhang Nan and Zhang Yu, "Prepare to leave."
Zhang Nan saw that there was still an order on the plate, opened their mouths, and all were drawn into their stomachs. Pack it. Maybe no one will eat it by the time. It's too little, not worth it. Throw it away, and fear. The people in the room said they were waiting for others to waste.
When I got into the car, Zhang Nan was the one who drove the car this time.
After the car walked out for a while, Wang Juan expressed the same thoughts as Zhang Xiaobao just now, and asked: "Xiaobao, why did you say that our people can’t find each other’s boat? And that Hu Liang, the eight of them? Where have I been now, and there has been no news. Isn't it Datang here?"
"When we get to the place, I think they used other means. Maybe they dropped the package after the officials got on the ship. After all, our people can't keep up too closely. If they were discovered, they could only catch them when they ran away. Xiaoyu Xiaoxi, it seems that our plan should be changed a bit.
I am worried that after Ning Tian has been operating here for so long, he ran to Hangzhou for a period of time. The forces that belonged to him here were controlled by others. The cooperation like theirs was inherently unstable, and it was common to stabbing knives in the back.
It’s still unclear. After entering Duchang, you can deal with it temporarily depending on the situation. If more food is involved, and it is still taking the lead, what do you plan to do? "
Zhang Xiaobao can’t figure out what’s going on there either, because other people are not fools, and it’s impossible to follow his ideas. He can only guess based on his understanding of human nature. Not every time he can guess right, there are liars too. When there is nothing that can be done.
The car fell silent for a while, and in the evening, it was completely sunny. The gate of Duchang also appeared in front of us. There was a beautiful rainbow in the sky, reflecting the sunset glow.
Of course, along the way, Zhang Xiaobao found several groups of people who followed him. They were all spies from his own home. Some were dressed as people carrying burdens, some were riding on horseback, and there was also a married team. Sitting in a carriage, walked out a distance with his carriage.
Seeing this team, Zhang Xiaobao became amused. The spy personnel in his family are idle, and they have to pretend to be relatives. This is obviously because the power of others is not as large as that of his family, and it is impossible to check whether it is true. Someone got married.
After entering the city, I found an inn and selected a small courtyard. After the five people ordered their friends to serve the food and drinks, Zhang Xiaobao said to everyone: "I have decided. I will strictly investigate the use of funds for the espionage department in the future."
"Little son, it’s not easy to check the use of funds. For example, I’m carrying more than 500 pennies. I don’t know when I need to use it. Once I use it, I don’t have any proof, such as giving gifts or giving people. To make a good relationship, I can't let someone write me a proof."
Wang Gang feels that what Zhang Xiaobao said is very difficult. The intelligence department has a lot of dark things to do. In this way, it is inevitably impossible to record every penny and go back for reimbursement. It can only be based on the situation. Take money every once in a while.
You can only apply for additional applications when you spend a lot of money, but when the money is in your hands, the people above can’t control it. If you say you spend ten wen for a certain thing, that’s ten wen, and you can say twenty wen. , Even if it only costs five cents, the excess will be left to yourself.
Of course, I wouldn’t do that. It didn’t make sense. My relatives stayed in the special place of the Zhang family. There is no shortage of food and clothing, and there is no shortage of money. It is not worth it to be greedy for some money. It's easy to lose your life, and your family will have a hard time.
Zhang Nan also thought of this, and then said: "Little son, why do you think about checking your funds?"
"Don't listen to Xiaobao, he is just joking. The people who followed us today, didn't you see a married team? Xiaobao meant that they actually had money to get married, haha."
Wang Juan smiled and explained to the three "buddies" that she also found it very interesting. The people in her own spy system were not capable of checking the other party's ship, and they pretended to look like something else.
After the explanation, Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao: “It shows that our people are smart if we can figure out a way to get married. It may not be useful in Datang. They are probably also for training. When they wait outside, who would have thought that the intelligence personnel would Using this method? It can be regarded as a kind of atmosphere, who stipulates that people who do intelligence must live like ghosts and hide in the dark all day."
"Well, they will practice their hands. It is estimated that if they continue to practice, they will even be able to arrange the wedding and the happy events together. That's really lively, and they will form a group to cheat." Zhang Xiaobao also laughed.

The five people had a good rest that day. Early the next morning, Wang Gang went to rent a large courtyard, moved all the things he had brought in, and bought the materials requested by Zhang Xiaobao. The five people gathered together to make a smoking gun.
The smoking gun for smoking opium should be made carefully, especially the mouth. It is not as simple as the pipe pot. The pipe pot is filled with tobacco and ignited directly. It can be smoked for a long time. Compared with the big pipe pot A cigarette is also resistant to smoking.
People who smoke opium can't do it anymore. Who dares to put opium ointment like that? In addition to killing people, the main problem is that they don't burn or burn.
It can only take one bite, one click, and it can’t continue to ignite. It can faint a person. Usually a small bit is made and a thin wire is used to pick it up, and then burn it with an open flame. Inhaled hard and the smoke came into his mouth.
After taking a sip, the cigarette is not spit out immediately, but held in the lungs, and then slowly exhaled. Normally, it takes a while to take a sip.
It would be even better if someone squeezed the body or beat the leg. As for what kind of hallucinations can be produced, it depends on each person's own thoughts.
People who smoke big cigarettes just smoke and don't eat, because the taste is not good and it is easy to change the smell of big cigarettes into other smells.
At the same time, it shouldn’t be like having a glass of red wine when smoking a cigar, or smoking a big cigarette.
