Of course, Xu Mingxu couldn't have made a special trip to bring some dried sea vegetables to Second Uncle Ye.

In fact, transporting dried sea vegetables is just incidental, or a very small part of his job.

His main duty is to escort the materials dispatched from various places to Xinshan Pass, and the current one is just the first batch.There are many batches of supplies to follow.

How much material do you need to fight a big war?

On paper, it may be just a few strokes.But when it comes to reality, the huge number is enough to dazzle most people, and it will even make many people have thoughts that they shouldn't have——

There are so many, you can't see it with a little bit.

So much, eat a little and hide a little.

There are so many, how can you be careful about everything?

There are countless such people.One or two may not see anything, but ten, twenty, or even hundreds of people think so?

Originally, long-distance transportation caused a lot of loss during the journey, and it also needed to provide food and drink for the Xiangjun who were responsible for the transportation. Every time the food transported, when it arrived at the remote destination of Xinshanguan, sometimes even more than half of it was gone. To be consumed on the road.

Now that the shipping route is open, even if it is only possible to go to the medium ship, the manpower saved is definitely not just a few dozen people, but a rather huge number.However, even with the reduction of so much manpower, the overall savings in food and grass is not as much as expected.

Xu Mingxu personally followed it, and only then did he realize the tricks.

Those Xiang troops responsible for transportation can only be regarded as profiteers, but others are huge greedy.In each link, they often take half and ten percent of the grain and grass.

As a big local tyrant who earns a lot of money every day, he doesn't understand what those people do: "Those are just food and grass, not cash, what are they going to do?"

Unless it is raising private soldiers, it can be of some use.But how many corrupt officials have the guts to do this?

The annual output of the imperial court is indeed limited, but in a year without disasters or famines, how high can the price of food be?Not to mention the food delivered to the border, many of which are worthless old rice and coarse grains.

Even if they stretched out their hands and greedy such a huge amount of food and grass, the value after conversion is actually not high.

Of course, this low level is Xu Mingxu's personal opinion, and it is still very attractive to many officials.

Making money depends on talent.

Those team leaders who followed Tu Hao at the beginning, after being released to the outside world, none of them were able to revitalize the local economy.There are some objective reasons for this, as well as some talent problems.As for some local officials who have not had any training in this area, there are many ways to get money, and the only way to get money is particularly "upright" hand cards.

Xu Mingxu's complaints in front of Tu Hao were very gentle, but he was very strict in his actions.Especially during this period of time, there is such a powerful agent as Qi Qi beside him.

As an inspector, he has the right to deliver the memorial directly to the emperor without going through any links, and there is no such thing as a memorial being seized.

Corruption is almost an incurable problem in officialdom.

However, some parts are especially taboo.

First, disaster relief money; second, tribute; third, military pay during wartime.

They are big men, and there is an emperor who was born as a warrior, and he is simply rebellious in this regard.It is conceivable that when Xu Mingxu's memorials are sent up, there will be a lot of heads in the not-too-distant future.

In fact, when Xu Mingxu arrived at Xinshan Pass, Uncle Zhang was already furious and ordered all the people involved to be brought to the capital for trial.Those who are closer to the capital are now guests at Dali Temple.

Tu Hao was carrying a ponytail, and sat outside the house without moving, facing Tian San who was making him breakfast: "Why do we have to understand the thoughts of trash? They're just so rudimentary."

In the autumn of Xinshanguan, the wind is already a little cold on the face.Tu Hao sat by a leeward wall, guarding against his brunch, absolutely not letting Ye Dahua snatch it again.

His eye sockets and nose are still a little pink, and he is holding a small teacup, sipping hot goat's milk, which smells like jasmine.

Xu Mingxu looked at it with distress and amused at the same time: "Is it so greasy for lunch?"

The sheep specially transported from Anchang quickly turned into pieces of meat in Tian San's hands.Slaughtering, cleaning, and pickling are all done by others, and it is completely impossible to see that it is a dim sum chef who claims to be not good at serious meals.

The weather was fine, so Tian San directly placed the briquette stove outside.Two bowls of mutton wontons were quickly put on the table, followed by a curtain of mutton pies.

When Xu Mingxu said greasy, he mainly meant mutton pies.Even though the crust is only a little thin, when you bite into it, it turns out to be several layers of extremely thin meringue, and the fillings are filled with extra fat. When you eat it, the mouth is full of oil, which is very delicious, but this thing is so oily. .

"Eat more at noon, and eat lightly at night." Tu Hao ate two palm-sized pies in one go, and then watched the person who disliked greasy food eat five slowly, and grinningly clung to Xu Mingxu's side, "Brother, I think about it."

As a normal young man, they have not been well relieved for more than two months, and it is normal to have such needs!

Very normal, no need to blush at all!

Xu Mingxu paused when he wrung the towel, looked at the blushing little mouse beside him, swallowed, and said in a hoarse voice after a long time: "I've thought about it too." Tu Hao carried him into the room!

Quietly Mimi touched Ye Dahua, wishing she could just cover her ears.ah?Did he hear the magic horse?Is this bullying that his wife is not around?

Angry people who were force-fed dog food took the leftover mutton pie with the curtain and walked away without leaving any crumbs!

Xu Mingxu and Tu Hao didn't pay attention at all.Xu Mingxu was still concentrating on coaxing people: "Let's eat early at night and rest earlier?"

Tu Hao's ears were burning red from seeing him: "...um." That's right, take a good "rest".

Restraining himself, Xu Mingxu tilted his head and kissed his face, then raised his voice and asked Tian San: "Let's eat earlier in the evening, and it should be lighter."

"Excellent!" Tian San did not doubt him.My Dalang and Shichiro work so hard, it's normal to want to rest early when they are tired.He even spontaneously prepared a lot of hot water so that the two of them could take a bath comfortably.

Tu Hao didn't intend to stay longer in the barracks, so he dragged Xu Mingxu to bid farewell to Second Uncle Ye when he was full.

Second Uncle Ye knew that they would be repairing on the construction site by the river outside Guancheng for two days, so he didn't stop them, but instead mentioned: "If you are free, let's have a meal together at noon tomorrow."

The two readily accepted: "Okay."

Tu Hao also joked, "I have to prepare my own cook."

Thinking of what happened just now, Second Uncle Ye couldn't help laughing and cursing: "I know you're delicate. Okay, bring the cook." He's been in border control for so many years, and he didn't think the pancakes made by the gang leader were so... So solid, it was able to slap his son's nose crookedly.

There is a newly established engineer battalion at Xinshanguan. The flood control camp is larger and better than other places.

Xu Mingxu came here in a hurry in the morning, so he didn't look carefully. Now that he has time to take Tu Hao for a walk to digest food, he turned around the camp, focusing on Tu Hao's lounge: "The sun is pretty good today, I don't think there is much wind over there. Let's dry the quilt?" He originally wanted to say that it was a bit close to the surrounding houses, and the two of them might have to restrain themselves at night; but after thinking about it, the office and cafeteria next door were empty at night, and the warehouses farther away, At most, there is one or two people on duty.The rest of the people live far away, he just needs to pay attention to it at night, and it is not necessary to take Tu Hao to live elsewhere.

Well, in fact, it's good for two people to live alone outside.It's not suitable right now, wait for him to make some preparations.

This Tu Hao didn't have any objections, he hugged the quilt together with Xu Mingxu to dry it, he never expected that the person next to him had a bold idea in just the short time of drying the quilt.

The deeper the water control line, the fewer entourages around him, and the more difficult the conditions.When he was in Rao Song, he could bring a lot of people including tailors; when he was in Yu Rao, he could even live in the county town.When he arrived at Xinshanguan, there was only Tian San by his side, and the boy couldn't stay with him all the time, so he had to work part-time as a comprador, and went out from time to time to buy various items, not only for Tu Hao's needs, but also for some on the construction site. .

Seeing it, Xu Mingxu completely ignored the still white and tender butcher mouse, thinking that his own mouse was really hard.However, at night, he didn't sympathize with the "hard-working" mouse slaughter, but instead pulled him to work hard over and over again.

Tu Hao was robbed of breakfast and snacks at noon, that is to say, he shed two tears, which belonged to the thunder and rain.At this moment, he was sobbing constantly, and couldn't help begging for mercy: "Brother, brother...huh...no more..."

Xu Mingxu's eyes were reddened by his soft and waxy nasal voice, and he gasped and asked, "Uncomfortable?"

"Bullying!" The man didn't need to answer verbally if he was comfortable or not, he could tell it at a glance.Tu Hao just felt that this kind of body control and the feeling of being completely involuntary in all kinds of reactions was too scary.

Xu Mingxu kissed the corner of his eyes briefly: "Well, I bullied you." And he knew how to blame him, "It's all the fault of the sheep and scorpions at night."

After skimming off the oil, a lot of vegetables were added, and the pot with only fish slices besides the mutton slices was indeed very light.The effect of warming is not bad at all.

A long absence is better than a newlywed.They were of this age, coupled with the firepower of the sheep scorpion, the two of them had a particularly fulfilling night.

The next morning, Tu Hao couldn't even get up.

His body is weaker than ordinary people, Xu Mingxu has always been considerate of him.Even in close contact, he can still feel Xu Mingxu's many restraints.It was really the first time between them in a situation like last night.Except that the consequences are a bit serious now, the process is really cool.

He was lying on the bed, hugging the pillow with a red face and laughing.

Xu Mingxu was sitting by the bed dealing with official business, and when he heard the laughter, he asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"

Tu Mouse said fearlessly: "Laughing, we can unlock more poses."

The author has something to say:

Ye Dahua (→_→): Why don’t serious cooks bring along ones that make dim sum?

Little Mouse (￣▽￣)~*: Because he can make snacks.

Little Mouse (￣▽￣)~*: I eat very economically~

Ye Dahua (→_→): So you eat snacks as meals, right?

Big Sun (=￣ω￣=): It’s okay, I can give the little mouse an extra meal♂
