When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

"Master Fang, the old man is going to the main hall right away, please go this way."

Fang Tianlin didn't sit in the side hall for a long time, when someone led him into the side hall.That's a good deal!Fang Tianlin sighed to himself, could it be that he borrowed the light from his sons?

"Master Fang, wait a moment, the old man will be here later." The visitor led Fang Tianlin into the main hall, explained the situation clearly, and then stood aside.

Fang Tianlin felt that he was lucky. No matter how close Zhenning Fucheng is to Zhenning Pass, Mr. Su, as the highest guard of Zhenning Pass, even if there is no war at present, he can't stay here all the time. Whenever he comes across, it seems that God is doing this for him. Line provides convenience.

Zhenning Prefecture is easy to enter, and Zhenning Pass is not something that ordinary people can peek at. If the timing of Fang Tianlin's arrival is not coincidental, it is common to wait for a few days.

"Tianlin, I guessed it was you as soon as I heard the announcement from the people below, and it really is." Old man Su said before he arrived, with a hint of warmth in his demeanor, just like treating a familiar nephew.

Fang Tianlin didn't go into the reason why Mr. Su acted like this. A good attitude is better than a cold face. If he really wants to do that, he has to consider whether to tell the purpose of his trip.

"Su Bo, you are still so hale and hearty. Look at you, your body is no worse than that of ordinary middle-aged people." It's not that Fang Tianlin can't say flattering words, but he rarely uses them in normal times.There is nothing wrong with a few compliments for the godfather in name of his three children.

"Just you?" After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mr. Su immediately asked about the triplets.

"Well, they are at home. They didn't come out with me this time. It's too uneasy outside." Fang Tianlin said truthfully, "Old Su, I see that the security here in Zhenning Prefecture is quite good, why is it a mountainous area a hundred miles away at most? Bandits are rampant in this area?"

"This..." Speaking of this matter, Elder Su's expression became serious, "This side is mostly controlled by the army, and outside this area, we can't control it."

Fang Tianlin immediately understood that when the military and the government were separated, Mr. Su was able to take Zhenning City into his hands. It was because of the convenient geographical conditions and years of operation. Otherwise, how could a city be controlled by the defenders?

In the border area, the prefect's order is not so easy to use. The local tyrants have been entrenched for a long time, and the prefect who has served two or three consecutive terms at most cannot change much.This is still a special situation in the border areas. If it is an inland area, prefects are generally not re-elected, and they are elected every three years.

Taking advantage of the fact that this topic happened to be mentioned, Fang Tianlin directly explained the purpose of his visit: "Su Bo, it is precisely for this purpose that I came this time. A few months ago, I went to Yunzhou City and brought all my relatives with us. The family is reunited, the team is getting bigger, and I have to lead the team to reach the place safely, but safety cannot be guaranteed, so why don’t I come here and ask Suber for help.”

After pondering for a while, Mr. Su asked, "What do you want me to do? The army cannot be moved at will."

"Su Bo, let's not talk about this. I know you have a way to solve this problem. I don't have anything too valuable in my team. It's just that there are a lot of people, and I brought some items that are not common here. I want you to help them. It’s just for safety.” Fang Tianlin didn’t naively think that Mr. Su could waste manpower and material resources to escort them into Linshan County just because of the relationship between the two relatives, so he had to show some sincerity, “Su Uncle, Ming people don’t say dark words. The life of the frontier army is usually difficult. I am willing to provide a part of the military rations for Suber, and the price will be based on the market price. The food should be high, and it can also slowly improve people's physical condition. Here is one of the samples, Suber, you can have it boiled for inspection."

"Oh, do you have such a good thing on hand?" Elder Su became interested when he heard that, he picked up a corn kernel and took a closer look. The kernels are plump and shiny, and they look better than those sold in the grain store outside. Elder Su immediately called someone in and ordered, "Chang Su, give these to Elder Li. You tell him that this may be future military rations. He knows what to do."

"Yes, old man." Chang Su took the things and immediately withdrew.Look at that walking posture, this person has either been a nursing home or entered a military camp. This place is indeed worthy of being a general's mansion, and anyone who picks out a random person has some background.

Fang Tianlin watched quietly, and he didn't speak until Mr. Su finished dealing with it: "Su Bo, the things I just mentioned are good, but they are also common things. As long as they are planted on a large scale, it will take a few years. Everyone in the area can eat it, and what’s in this box is our family’s heart.”

"You boy, there are quite a lot of good things in my hand. Since I used the items you gave me last time, the hidden diseases left on my body in the early years have shown signs of improvement. What is it this time?" Checking, Mr. Su didn't have any scruples, and directly opened the lid of the box.

There are a few porcelain vases that are the same as before. It is estimated that the contents inside should be similar, and there are a few sheets of paper under the bottles.He picked it up and unfolded it, his expression suddenly became dignified. There were several small pieces of paper on which were listed several recipes that would be of great benefit to the army. There was a method of making high-grade wine that could be used for medical purposes, and there was still distillation equipment attached to it. Drawings and how to use the medicinal wine.

Mr. Su understood the preciousness of these prescriptions. Every time there was a battle at the border, many people did not die from the war, but were dragged down by a small wound.If the above can be realized, the death rate of soldiers can be reduced by at least [-]%, which is of great help to him.

Elder Su couldn't help but look at Fang Tianlin a few more times, he is really a formidable young man.If it weren't for this one in front of him, his lineage would have been completely broken, and he didn't know who would benefit from this huge family fortune in the end.

Even if Fang Tianlin didn't provide these, Mr. Su would try his best, but it was different after all. With these, he was more willing to do things.It cannot be said that Mr. Su is realistic, most people are like this.

"Su Bo, there's something under there." Fang Tianlin pressed a few times on the side of the bottom of the box, and a small drawer popped out, "This is a clairvoyance, I always call it a telescope, take a look, if it's not as good as the one you have at hand, keep it Let the little nephew play."

Surprised, Mr. Su blurted out: "How do you know I have this?" After finishing speaking, he himself laughed.This is not a secret matter. If you really want to check it, anyone can find it out. It's just that most people don't know how far they can see with the one in their hands.

Fang Tianlin smiled and said nothing, seeing that Mr. Su reacted, he didn't say anything.

Mr. Su picked up the binoculars and looked at the yard. Although he couldn't compare the two at the moment, according to Mr. Su's feeling, the binoculars in his hand should be able to see farther, which is a good thing.He looked over and over several times, and found that the craftsmanship of this telescope was much higher than that of the clairvoyance in his hand. It looked like one piece, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't find any gaps in the interface.

"Tianlin, this..."

"Su Bo, let my little nephew hold off on this matter first."

Mr. Su was not stupefied, seeing Fang Tianlin say this, he didn't ask any more questions, he was too ignorant to hold on to Fang Tianlin even though the other party said so bluntly that he didn't want to talk about it.

"Su Bo, do you have a way to open up a business route from Yanzhou City to Linshan County?" After a while, Fang Tianlin said something else.

"Commercial road? Even if this section of road is open, it is difficult to guarantee the sea route? Don't fool me. Although I don't know much about the sea situation, I still know this. Yanzhou Port has been relatively The situation is even more serious now." Su Lao's eyes flashed puzzled.

"Su Bo, you also know that I am a businessman. If I don't open up my own sales channels, I will only be exploited by others. The place where I live now is definitely not good at domestic sales, and I don't have that much spending power. If I don't go by sea The land route is even more troublesome. The situation here is even more chaotic than at sea. At least I went back and forth to Yunzhou City, and I haven’t exchanged fire with anyone. I have encountered more than a group of bandits on the mountain road. I just came here last year If I didn’t bring a lot of nursing homes, I’m afraid I’d suffer. It’s just that I brought some supplies along the way. If it’s a special caravan, wouldn’t it be someone to be slaughtered in the eyes of others? fat sheep?"

"This, I can't do it alone, I have to cooperate with others." Mr. Su didn't boast about Haikou, and he couldn't even take care of all the Zhenning Prefectures, let alone this business route also involves other state capitals, so don't give them some Good thing, who wants to take care of the caravan?

After thinking for a while, Mr. Su still agreed to this matter: "I'll figure out how to deal with the caravan. Let me ask you a question. Do you have enough money? It's nothing to have money here in Wangcheng. In this border area, Wealth means power. Even small landlords have some useful guards and thugs in their hands, and there are many people who keep private soldiers. Landlords and gentry live well, but frontier soldiers live in poverty. If you If you have money and food, don’t be afraid that no one will escort you.”

"Money? I don't have much at the moment, and I still have a few thousand taels left, but I have a lot of food, and I can still provide meat, eggs and fish." Fang Tianlin doesn't plan to move the money on hand. He has other uses, but for food, as long as There was no disaster in Huanggu, so there should be no shortage.

"Okay, as long as you can afford the price, I'll take care of it for you." Mr. Su thought for a while, and said, "The food and the like can be eaten by our two border guards at the pass alone, which is probably not enough. Your price If the price is not high, you don’t need to ship it out, just sell it to us directly. If this is the case, things will be much easier.”

Mr. Su has been guarding here all year round, and the most worrying thing is the issue of food and salary. The salary can be delayed for a while, and the food can't be delayed for a moment.Soldiers can't eat enough to eat, so how can they fight?Losing half of the battle before it started, every general hates this kind of thing the most, but they often encounter it, every time they send someone to follow up to ask for pay, they will worry about graying a few hairs.

When Fang Tianlin thought about it, he understood that, except for a small part of the food and payment, which was settled by the local government, the rest had to be allocated from the Ministry of War.Where does the Ministry of War get money?household department.The Ministry of War and the border generals are not in the same system, and they have to go through the Ministry of Households together. It is strange not to be stuck.
