Zhou Shaofeng took his father and others away, and took away all the people who were hiding in the Han Mansion of Yuantian Sect. The stones pressed on Han Yuan's heart were finally moved away. From then on, the sky was wide and the sky was free and free.

The family felt the old man's happiness and thought it was because of the reason why the honey fruit business made a lot. Honey fruit was on the market around the Mid-Autumn Festival, and various types of honey fruits were sold in several nearby states. Because they were not far from their origin, the price was quite reasonable, about one tael of silver.

The court had to clear out the redundant soldiers and sent them to the military garrison of Huazhou. There were fewer veterans who farmed in Anxi Protectorate, and fruits and melons and vegetables were difficult to meet the military needs. The emergence of honey fruits just made up for this demand. A series of secret operations finally formed an open report. Sima Han Liangqing of the Protectorate Office suggested to the commander Yang Xiangliang that he would buy 50,000 cans of honey fruit for military needs. The price was naturally cheap, half of the market price was 5000 yuan.

Yang Xiangliang had eaten honey fruit and felt it tasted good. The young coach Yang Huaizhong helped him say a few good things. A few days ago, Jiang Anyi sent him a 100,000 taels of customs tariffs this year. Yang Xiangliang didn't think much about it and agreed to buy 50,000 cans of honey fruit to improve his life for the soldiers.

The wealth and water did not flow to outsiders' fields, so the transaction naturally fell in the Han Mansion. Although it was only half of the market price, it was better because it was large in quantity. This transaction could save at least ten thousand taels of silver. Moreover, it had a relationship with the Anxi Protectorate. The transaction of military supplies was better for a long time and the volume was large, so Han Liangqing would not have to worry about not having any debts.

Shortly after Han Liangqing left, Yang Huaizhong found an excuse to come out of the General's Mansion and go to the military commander office. On the way, he saw Han Liangqing greeting him with a smile. A stack of silver notes quietly handed over, and negotiated the benefit of 2,000 taels in advance. Yang Huaizhong was a little proud. His words were genuine and every word was gold and jade.

The General's Mansion has a lot of official duties, and there are endless people coming in to report things. It was not until noon that they were idle. The two brothers Yang Huaizhong and Yang Huaiwu came in to salute. As long as it was fine, the two brothers should accompany their father to have dinner.

Yang Xiangliang glanced at his eldest son and asked suddenly: "How much benefit did Han Liangqing give you?"

Yang Huaizhong was shocked and did not dare to make a sound.

Yang Xiangliang sighed: "I have been in the army for more than 30 years for my father, from a small soldier to my current status. I can't hide the mess in this military camp from me."

Seeing that the father-in-chief looked grim, Yang Huaizhong was panicked and confessed: "Han Liangqing gave me two thousand taels of silver." As he said that, he took out the silver notes from his arms and wanted to submit them to Yang Xiangliang.

Yang Xiangliang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I know that water is clear and there is no fish. The army is hard and the military discipline is strict. If there is no benefit, who would be willing to join the army. These money are the income you have spoken for Han Liangqing, so please put it away."

The father-in-chief did not blame him. Yang Huaizhong felt relieved and quickly put the money back in his arms.

However, Yang Xiangliang's tone turned sharp and said in a stern voice: "You two are remembered for your father that it is nothing to gain some benefits in the army, but there are a few things that are taboos and must not be done. First, don't drink the blood of soldiers. Don't deduct the salary you should give to soldiers. You should give enough rewards. Only in this way can the soldiers obey orders, and be willing to obey commands and not be afraid of life and death, and rely on their subordinates to make achievements."

Yang Huaizhong's eyes were circling, thinking in his heart that his father and commander taught his brothers to be serious. At that time, the Mei Hongmin Army was so arrogant that he took advantage of his troops because of unfair rewards and punishments. In the Anxi Protectorate, except for the 20,000 personal troops of his father and commander, there were many things to deduct military salaries.

Seeing that Yang Xiangliang looked very different in his two sons, Yang Huaiwu listened to the serious face, while Yang Huaizhong smiled and his eyes were scattered, obviously not taking his words seriously.

"The military has a long history. My father knows that someone in the Anxi Protectorate is drinking blood from his soldiers. This practice has been around since ancient times. If the law does not blame the public, my father will not tear this face. But remember for me, if you want to make a difference in the army and do not drink blood from his soldiers, rewards and punishments are clearly the foundation of your life." Yang Xiangliang shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Of course," Yang Xiangliang's tone slowed down and said, "As a commander, you must judge the situation and how to dispatch troops is also a knowledge."

Yang Huaizhong smiled suddenly, Yang Huaiwu was confused, Yang Xiangliang sighed in his heart, one of the two sons was too slippery and the other was too stupid, it would be great if he could even reconcile.

"It is difficult to support the army by relying on the silver from the court alone. The four major prophets have their own ways to make money. My Anxi Protectorate relies on commerce in the Western Regions. Jiang Anyi, the governor of Huazhou, promised to pay 800,000 taels of pass-through silver for his father every year, 300,000 taels of pass-through silver for his father, and the remaining 500,000 taels of silver for his remaining 500,000 taels of silver for his Anxi Protectorate. With this 500,000 taels of silver, he can appease the army for his father."

Yang Huaizhong's eyes lit up. 800,000 taels of silver a year, and at least 100,000 taels of kickbacks. Yang Huaizhong looked at his father with admiration. His little fight was really not worth mentioning in front of his father-in-chief. He was so happy that he had a 2,000 taels of silver. It seemed that his vision was too low.

Suddenly, he thought of the omnipresent Long Guard, secret guard, and there must be a spy from the Dragon Guard in Anxi Protectorate's Mansion. Maybe any general is a member of the Dragon Guard. How can this matter be hidden from the Emperor? Yang Huaizhong looked frightened on his face and said in a panic: "Master, if the Emperor knows what to do?" There is another sentence hidden in Yang Huaizhong's heart and I didn't say it. I also hope that the father can take over as the Grand Marshal. In the future, my son will take over the father's business, and the Yang family will replace the Zhu family and become the first general in the Great Zheng family. Wouldn't my father lose the big picture because of a small loss?

Yang Xiangliang showed a sly smile on his face and said, "The emperor already knows it. I guess Jiang Anyi secretly reported the situation of my dealings with him."

Yang Huaizhong cursed angrily: "Damn it, villain." Yang Huaiwu's eyes also burst into anger, and his hands were clenched. If Jiang Anyi was in front of him, he would definitely punch him.

Yang Xiangliang said slowly: "However, I also reported to the emperor in the secret comments."

Seeing his two sons dumbfounded, Yang Xiangliang smiled happily and said, "This is the second point that you want to remember for your father. No matter what you do, you must put your loyalty to the emperor first, and even if you do something wrong, the emperor will not blame you."

"This, the emperor will not blame the eighty taels of silver every year?" Yang Huaiwu couldn't believe his ears. In his mind, the father and commander were upright, upright, and loved soldiers like their sons. He was a role model in his life. In an instant, his idol collapsed, which really made him unacceptable.

Yang Xiangliang stood up, walked to his second son, patted his shoulder and said, "Huaiwu, you are a real person and treat others honestly. This is your strength, but sometimes you should learn from your brother and think more about things when encountering things. As the father, as the great guardian of Anxi, he holds 160,000 troops. If he is really honest and loves soldiers like his son, I am afraid the emperor will not dare to use me. Do you know that Zhu Xunpu has served as the great governor of Anxi for eight years and has pulled at least one million taels of silver at home."

Yang Huaizhong spoke earnestly and instructed his younger brother, "Brothers, some of the generals in the Protectorate's Mansion are trafficking goods, some are operating in partnership with others, and some are working together to do business with the Western Regions. There are so many things that can't be finished. It's a common practice for Huazhou to give the Protectorate's Mansion to pass the customs, but there is not as much as 800,000 taels. In addition to rewarding the soldiers who have made meritorious, the father and commander also have to manage the Ministry of War and the various government offices in the capital. Not many of them can really fall into their hands."

Yang Huaiwu's eyes were confused and his head was in a mess. He looked at his father and brother, and he seemed to have two strangers standing in front of him.

Yang Xiangliang continued: "I just said for my father that the emperor is loyal to people. As long as you put your loyalty to the emperor first, the emperor will not treat you badly. Therefore, some things can be done, and some things must not be done. For example, trafficking weapons, colluding with foreign enemies, and training private soldiers, if you are involved in these things, no matter how great the favor is, you cannot save your life."

When she said this, Yang Xiangliang stared at his eldest son tightly and warned: "What kind of business do you and Han Liangqing do for is not to worry about, but you must not touch the words I said, otherwise you will not live a small life, and I am afraid you will also have to implicate your family."

Yang Huaizhong shrank his neck and muttered, "I understand, don't worry, father and commander." When he knew that when the father and commander took office as the PRIMARY of Anxi, the emperor secretly ordered the father and commander to investigate the loss of the winch crossbow. Later, he found out that it was Shi Wuqing, the Gongcao Mansion of Sima's Mansion. This person was the secret son of the Yuantian Sect. Later, he defected to Qingshanshui Village. Is this case not over yet?

Yang Xiangliang returned to his seat with a heavy face, leaned heavily on the back of the chair, his thick eyebrows were twisted, and he sighed to himself: "A wave has not yet been settled and the winch crossbow has just been found out, and the newly made four consecutive crossbows have been lost again. The Anxi Protectorate Mansion is almost a thief's nest."

Yang Huaizhong tightened his heart and stepped forward and said, "Father, the child is willing to find out this matter."

"You?" Yang Xiangliang waved his hand and said, "You are not involved. My father has sent someone to investigate, and Long Wei is also secretly investigating. You just don't know about this. By the way, don't tell Han Liangqing that the military equipment is lost. As Sima, he is very suspicious?"

"Ah? Han Sima is a member of the Han family of Zhongyi, so there will be no trouble." Han Liangqing's face appeared in front of Yang Huaizhong. As long as he has money to make money, this Sima will definitely put Zhongyi next to him. He has fought with him several times and must not let his father and commander know.

Yang Xiangliang picked up a letter from the table and said, "Jiang Anyi's 800,000 taels of silver is not easy to get. This kid has sent a letter. Let me help him track down the caravans that have not entered the border city of Huazhou. Huaizhong, you can do this."

The court set up a border city in Huazhou for the Western Regions. Jiang Anyi set up a border city outside Huiye Mansion to let merchants trade and collect taxes. However, many vendors did not want to enter the border city and wanted to sell it themselves. So Jiang Anyi thought of a way to issue a voucher when entering the checkpoint, so he asked these caravans to register with the voucher at Huiye Mansion. Even if they were not in the border city, they would have to collect a certain amount of tax. In the past, caravans had no other taxes except for paying tariffs in the Western Regions. Merchants valued profits and were willing to spend more money. They all changed their courses without going through Huiye Mansion to Huazhou.

Jiang Anyi ordered that because the court set up a border city in Huazhou, all merchants who had trade with the Western Regions could register at the prefecture and issue business licenses, and declare goods to the government with the certificates. If the goods were not registered or reported, they would be checked; to the outside world, the customs certificates were issued at the checkpoints to prevent the unlicensed caravans from being investigated. Some caravans took advantage of the tricks to enter the country from Bingzhou, so Jiang Anyi asked the Anxi Protectorate to help check the caravans in the Western Regions.

Yang Huaizhong took the letter and browsed it quickly, and said with a smile: "This Lord Jiang has a good plan. In this way, the caravans found will not only have to pay a large sum of money to buy peace, but also waste time. It won't take long for these caravans to go to Huazhou to pay taxes. However, Jiang Anyi and my family are not harmonious, so why should the father and coach help him?"

"Although Jiang Anyi is young, he can be the governor of Huazhou at a young age. He admires his behavior and father. How can you let your little one beef?" Yang Xiangliang scolded coldly: "Do you think he did this to exploit merchants' money? You don't think about how much money his perfume can earn in a year, and how much money he can earn in a year, he can give away. How much money can he make in a year? How can such a person be greedy for money?"

Seeing that his elder brother was scolded by his father and handsome, Yang Huaiwu quickly rescued the siege and asked, "Master Jiang, what is the intention of this move?"

"The court is short of money. Governor Jiang is collecting money for the court and collecting money for the emperor. The emperor's secret order told me that Jiang Anyi would give the court two million more taxes every year, so that I can cooperate more." Yang Xiangliang said with a gloomy face: "I just said to my father that I must put loyalty to the emperor first in everything I do. This is what Lord Jiang did. How come the emperor doesn't like him? Huaizhong, you don't have to do this. Huaiwu, you are responsible for this matter. I will arrange a few people to assist you, and be sure to block the gap in Bingzhou."
