The four Protectorates each have their own means of profit. The Anxi Protectorate relies on the checkpoint tax for trade with the Western Regions. In addition to collecting the checkpoint tax for trade with the Northern Desert, there are also goods from the northeast mountains and forests. The Annan Protectorate has four famous wines, Qiongzhou Liquid, and the Andong Protectorate relies on sea trade smuggling. The emperor has some understanding of these situations, but the treasury cannot afford the silver to comfort the army, so he has to acquiesce the existence of these situations.

Jiang Anyi is not a saint, but also has his own selfishness. His selfishness is to let the caravan pass through Hecheng County where Senior Brother Fan is located. Three levels mean three passages. Jiang Anyi is not ready to open three levels at the same time. First, the new level wars are destroyed and need to be repaired; second, the trade routes with the invading Western Region countries must not be temporarily connected. It is impossible that you are rushing to do business just after you snatch them.

The commercial road passes through Hecheng County, which means a series of needs such as accommodation, supply, and entertainment. Hecheng County can quickly recover and become prosperous again. This is an open selfishness and no one can say anything. As for the checkpoint, Jiang Anyi and Yang Xiangliang agreed that the officers and soldiers would only be in charge of the guards, and the government office would send a dedicated person to the tax collection, and settle them once every six months.

Guo Huaili led the caravan with Gu Taige, passed Jingmen Pass from Hecheng County to enter the Western Regions, passed through Wen Gu, Hu Kingdom, and entered Tian Wei Kingdom. I believe that the passage of this caravan will soon be heard among the twenty-eight countries of the Western Regions, and the caravans of the Western Regions will immediately pour in like a tide.

After the business was completed, Fatty Guo paid the commercial tax at a rate of 10 taxes. Jiang Anyi shamelessly paid 50,000 yuan in advance, just thinking that it was the tax collection of the caravans back from Tian Weiguo. With money, Jiang Anyi found Mei Hongmin again. Impressed by the 20,000 taels of silver, the garrisoned officers and soldiers quickly attacked from all sides, and the bandits in Huazhou gradually subsided.

After the notice from the prefecture was posted, refugees returned home one after another, and their hometown was hard to leave. Although the good place was not as good as their hometown. April was about to end, the government provided wheat seeds to let the people replant wheat. Jiang Anyi and his subordinates checked the planting situation everywhere and stood at a high place, but saw the loess gravel at the high place, and the basin was full of green, but there was no water source. Jiang Anyi asked in surprise: "This land is dry and low in water, how can we plant crops?"

Yan Yi, the Sihu Army, pointed to the round conical soil bunkers on the ground in the distance and said, "I don't know that these soil buns are called Kanjing. There are hidden canals connected to the hidden river water, which can irrigate and accumulate currents. Most of the 113,000 hectares of fertile land in Huazhou are irrigated by Kanjing, so that the people can live a life."

The soil buns are seven or eight feet apart, and the line-like arrangement extends. Jiang Anyi beats the horse and enters the underground channel vertically. The cool breeze is blowing and the water is gurgling. Jiang Anyi sighs: "It is better to travel thousands of miles than reading thousands of books. This feeling and this scene is amazing. Life is endless, and learning is endless."

After patrolling the Huiye Mansion, it was already May. In the Huazhou grassland in May, the golden dandelions dyed the green earth extremely brightly. They rode their horses on the vast grassland. Jiang Anyiduo hoped that Xinfei could be by his side and enjoy the charming scenery together.

When he returned to the government office, the minor official in front of the door replied with a smile: "Sir, your wife has consulted you for business and asked you to go directly to the Houya official residence after you come back."

In addition to being the second-rank wife, the wife of the governor Jiang was also a fourth-rank secret guard and supervisor. The people in the yamen were laughing at each other. During the banquet, they couldn't help but say a few strange words such as Jiang's wife having to bow to her when she returned to the house. After coming to Huazhou, Jiang Anyi had never seen his wife for a long time. She was both missing and complaining. If she had known it, she would rather bring Dong'er.

"Madam, Madam." Jiang Anyi stepped into the corridor in front of the main hall and couldn't help calling loudly.

"Puchi" laughter came, and Siyu's voice came from the hall, "Senior sister, my brother-in-law hasn't seen you this month, so anxious that he is almost climbing a tree." The little girl implicitly mocked Jiang Anyi for being anxious.

Jiang Anyi ignored her and walked into the hall step by step. Seeing Xinfei sitting in the chair and looking at her with a smile, Siyu stood beside Xinfei with a smirk.

Siyu is there, Jiang Anyi feels embarrassed to hug Xinfei, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and smiles: "The matter is done, but I have to move back. I have asked someone to clean the house. See what is missing and I will ask someone to buy it."

"Brother-in-law, we are working on the business when we come back. We will leave immediately after finishing the work." Siyu said sly.

Seeing that Jiang Anyi's face was a little stiff, Xinfei patted Siyu beside her and cursed: "You haven't seen An Yong for almost a month. Go to the military camp to find him. Let's have a reunion dinner for our family tonight."

Si Yujiao responded with a blushing face: "I won't look for him. I haven't come to see me for a month. Let's see how I'll deal with him later."

As he said, he walked out and laughed, "Senior sister, I know you want to whisper to my brother-in-law, so I won't get you in the way. I'll go find An Yong and come back to buy vegetables. Brother-in-law, for my sensibleness, you have to show off your skills in this meal tonight."

The annoying person finally left. Jiang Anyi and Xinfei hugged each other tightly, and their red lips kissed each other passionately. After a long time, Xinfei breathed and held Jiang Anyi's restless hand with a breath, blushed and said, "It's not good to see it in broad daylight. I won't leave today. Jianglang, sit down, I'm really doing business here."

Jiang Anyi left Xinfei reluctantly, and there was no one serving him in the official residence. Jiang Anyi picked up the cold tea he made in the morning and poured a cup of Xinfei, then vented his mouth to his mouth to stop his idleness. Putting down the teapot, Jiang Anyi asked jokingly: "Sir, I wonder what advice do you have?"

Xinfei gave Jiang Anyi a blank look, and her coquettish expression almost touched Jiang Anyi's love again. Fortunately, Xinfei's words attracted his attention, and Jiang Anyi listened quietly.

"The Yuantian Cultivator who was caught in Shihe Town admitted that after Qingshan Shui Village was captured by the government army, he was arranged to be an escort in an escort agency. He went to Shihe Town to give someone an item. The government army happened to come. He thought his identity was exposed, so he shot arrows and wanted to escape in the chaos." Xin Fei said.

"What?"

Xinfei said with a serious expression: "That thing is put in a wooden box. He has opened it to peek at it. It is a crossbow, and it is a new five-shot."

Jiang Anyi was shocked and stood up and said, "How is this thing leaked out just after it arrived in the army?"

When Jiang Anyi was in Bingzhou, he saw that the Dragon Guard had used a crossbow. When the Yuantian Cult attacked the Long Guard Mansion in Bingzhou, Zhang Shantong escaped and died with the crossbow, but three crossbows were captured by the Yuantian Cult. After the emperor learned about the situation, he ordered the Ministry of Works to redevelop the crossbow and change the size of the crossbow arrows. The previous three crossbows were replaced by five crossbows, and the crossbow arrows became thinner and longer and more powerful.

This is a military secret. Jiang Anyi didn't know. When he came to Huazhou to take office, Xinfei accidentally let it go. Jiang Anyi only realized that after the new crossbow was developed, the emperor ordered the Ministry of Works to allocate 1,000 pieces to each of the four Protectorate Palaces. Because of the Huazhou war, one thousand more were given. Since the winch crossbow incident, these newly made equipment were strictly controlled, and the crossbows were numbered, so why were they taken away by others?

Jiang Anyi felt his scalp numb. The emperor once told him to find out the stolen winch crossbow. He didn't have time to investigate. Now there is a new stolen crossbow. I wonder if these two incidents were done by the same person. One thing is certain that ordinary soldiers cannot come into contact with the stolen crossbow. This person must have a high status.

"Have you ever said that who gave it to him?" Jiang Anyi asked.

Xinfei shook her head and frowned and said, "He took the goods from an inn. The most deadly thing is that the crossbow has been taken away by someone. The person who took the crossbow was also in Shihe Town that night, but unfortunately he let a big fish go."

"Who is the person who takes the crossbow?"

"I am a Western Region native in his thirties. He looks ordinary and has no characteristics. It is probably difficult to find." Hu people in other states and Western Regions are rare, but in Huazhou, at least 400,000 Hu people live here. How to check? Xinfei frowned. As a supervisor, when encountering this, she must take on the position of chasing her. No wonder she has not returned to her house this month.

Jiang Anyi thought for a while and asked again: "Which escort business is that person in? Who introduced him to him? Have you ever asked?"

"It was Weiyuan Escort Agency. The one who introduced him to the escort agency was a manager of the Han Mansion."

"Weiyuan Escort Agency, Han family." Jiang Anyi murmured, remembering that he returned from Shasu Kingdom. After passing Weiche Kingdom, he met Uncle Wang, the manager of the Han family, and invited him to the Han family in Wenjin County. There was still an unhappy situation in the Han family. He had just fought with Zhang Tian, ​​the broken soul claw of the Weiyuan Escort Agency. Luo Shiming, the chief escort of the Weiyuan Escort Agency, gave him a plate. In the end, Han Yuan, the old man of the Han family, appeared to rescue him. Jiang Anyi was full of respect for the Zhongyi Han family. In addition, Zhang Keji's residence was helped by Mr. Han, and he said that he still owed someone a favor.

Xinfei knew that Jiang Anyi had a relationship with the Han family and said with a smile: "After the successive governors took office, they would go to Wenjin County to visit Mr. Han. If you don't take time to take me to visit, I'd already want to meet this old hero."

Looking at Xinfei's meaningful smile, Jiang Anyi's heart moved. Could it be that Xinfei suspected the Han Mansion? Just as she was about to shake her head, she suddenly remembered that when Mr. Han celebrated her birthday, there were endless people from the Jianghu who came to pay their birthday. The Weiyuan Escort Agency had a close relationship with the Han Mansion. It would be that the Weiyuan Escort Agency used the Han Mansion to do shameful things. Instead, she thought that Mr. Han's son Han Liangqing was Sima of the Anxi Protectorate.
