Regarding the issue of water transportation, Xu He put it simply.
In fact, the water transportation industry is more complicated than the salt industry.
Xu He relied on the knowledge of later generations to talk about something in a superficial way, but more in-depth research would require interviews and investigations to get the results.
Mao Yi also knew that he couldn't sort out the myriad of things in one day, so he agreed to correspond every month. If he had time, he would also take a boat to Yangzhou to meet the brothers there.
After talking about the business, Mao Hao took Xu He and said, "Let's go, brother, I will treat you well today!"
Speaking of this, he said to Uncle Liu: "Pull out the team at home, and then go to Huai'an City to find some of the best cooks. I will entertain my brother at Shuangfeng Hall tonight!"
Uncle Liu agreed and was about to turn around to do it, but Xu He quickly said: "Brother, forget it today!"
How could Mao Bao let Xu He go back? He held Xu He's arm and wouldn't let go.
Xu He said: "There are still brothers and sisters in the inn waiting for me to go back. I'm afraid they will worry if I stay for a long time!"
Hearing this, Mao Yi was surprised and said: "My brothers and sisters are here too? Just in time, I went to meet my brothers and sisters for my brother's sake!"
After saying that, he ignored Xu He and said directly to Uncle Liu: "Move the venue to the inn where my brother lives, and then prepare some gifts for my younger siblings!"
Xu He quickly grabbed him: "Brother, I just said that we need to keep a low profile now!"
Hearing this, Mao Yi nodded in realization, turned around and ordered again: "Just find two cooks, the gifts are small but good!"
Xu He: "..."
In addition to the yamen of the General Water Transport Corps, Mao Bao pulled Xu He into his carriage. In the car, the two of them talked about their family affairs and deepened their relationship. Not long after, the carriage stopped.
Mao Bao and Xu He were about to get out of the car, but unexpectedly, the car curtain was lifted by Mao Bao's soldiers. After taking a look at Xu He, he said to Mao Bao: "Junmen, someone is making trouble at the inn, and it seems to be related to Mr. Xu!"
The soldier who spoke was the man who took Xu He to the General Military Yamen. When the other party said this, Xu He immediately became anxious, jumped out of the car, and walked two steps into the inn lobby.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered, he saw Wu Decao blocking a few soldiers-looking guys with a pale face.
One of the soldiers said: "My wife Shen Rongru invites your wife to come over to have a talk. Why are you stopping her?"
After saying that, the soldier pushed Wu Decao unceremoniously.
The shopkeepers and waiters around were too frightened to come forward, and even the guests stopped eating. They all stood outside the inn and watched the excitement.
Wu Decao was pushed, and it was obvious that he was very scared, but he still stopped the people and said: "My brother has gone out. When he comes back, he will bring his brothers and sisters to visit him. Several military lords will go back and report like this That’s it!”
The leader of the soldier sneered: "What? My lord is the general of the Twelfth General of Cao Camp, and you still need to be taught by a sour scholar like you?"
Seeing this, Xu He already knew who sent these people.
He stepped forward and came to Wu Decao.
When Wu Decao saw Xu He, he was surprised and said: "Xiaohe, you are back! These people are the soldiers of Yuan Shenrong. They want to invite you and your siblings to come over..."
Before he finished speaking, Xu He stretched out his hand to stop what was going on, turned to look at the soldiers coldly and said: "Go back and tell your family to join the army. He and I are not close friends. How can a female family member go alone without her husband?" What’s the truth in your house?”
The soldier saw the real master coming, but he was not afraid at all. They laughed and laughed, pointing at Xu He and saying, "Isn't this the one who was treated like a monkey by the Caodu Yamen?"
"Oh, it looks really similar!"
The leading soldier said to Xu He in a joking tone: "Boy, our Shenrong has said that if you want to get things done, it's actually easy, as long as you send the beauty to live in our Shenrong's house. In a few days, Shenrong will help you get things done right away tomorrow!"
When Wu Decao heard this, he said angrily: "What are you doing? Are you planning to rob civilian girls? We, we are from Hailing County! We have the customs and defense documents of the Hailing County Magistrate in our hands..."
Before he finished speaking, one of the soldiers suddenly hit Wu Decao on the head with a scabbard.
Caught off guard, Wu Decao was hit hard, and his face suddenly started to bleed, looking scary.
The man looked up and down at Wu Decao, who was covering his head and squatting down, and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you? Do you want to talk nonsense here?"
After saying that, he turned around and stared at Xu He fiercely and said: "You want to have a bloody head too? Hurry up and call the little beauty down. Grandpa will take him to the mansion, join the army and play for two days, maybe he will be happy , I’ll take care of your business!”
Just when he was satisfied and felt that he had grasped these two weak scholars.
Sudden,
The crowd watching the fun outside cheered and dispersed all of a sudden.
Just when everyone in the inn was confused, someone outside shouted: "The soldiers of the Twelve General are here!"
When the few soldiers inside heard this, they immediately laughed and turned to Xu He and said: "It's not for you, don't count on it, we are the soldiers of the 12th General!"
Xu He sneered: "You should turn around and take a look first!"
When the soldiers heard this, they turned around and saw a handsome young man looking at them with a frosty face, followed by several soldiers.
Before they could recognize who the person in front of them was, Hu Lala was surrounded by a group of Cao soldiers wearing Fan Yangli and [Cao] uniforms outside the inn.
Several soldiers were dumbfounded.
The leader felt that something was wrong, so he came to the handsome young man with trepidation and bowed his hands in greeting: "I wonder who this gentleman is from our twelfth president?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier next to the handsome young master suddenly slapped the ruffian in the face, followed by another kick, and kicked the man so hard that he clutched his chest and couldn't breathe.
At this moment, the soldier arrived: "Stop your eyes, standing in front of you is our Caoying Twelve General Military Officer, the new Ningguo Marquis Mao Junmen!"
Mao Yi had just taken office, and many of the soldiers at the bottom had not seen him before. But after hearing his name, several soldiers turned pale with fright, their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and even one of his unsatisfactory crotches became wet.
I saw the soldier saying: "We, Mao Junmen, have just taken office. I heard that there are many lawless people in the Cao Army. If you bump into them today, you will be severely punished!"
This was said to the crowd watching outside.
I heard the people outside cheering loudly, and they all said that the new commander-in-chief of water transport was an upright man, very strict with his subordinates, and a good official.
When Mao Yi heard these compliments, he immediately became more enthusiastic. He turned around and let the leader Qian from outside come in, and then said to him: "Find some bamboo boards and slap these bastards!"
Then he kicked the leading soldier who was pretending to be dead.
When the soldier stood up tremblingly and sweating profusely from fear, Mao Ao asked with a dark face: "Who is your military commander?"
The soldier did not dare to hide it, and said with a tearful voice: "Yes, it's General Yuan!"
When Mao Yi heard this, he thought to himself that he had been thinking about him just now and was going to operate on him to punish the 12th General Manager. Haha, this guy actually hit the gun.
He turned around with an angry smile and said to Mr. Qian: "Go and call Mao Chusheng here. If you dare to leak even a single word about what is going on here, cannons will be fired in the camp tomorrow and I will beat you with a military stick!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Qian immediately stopped thinking about spreading the news, called a subordinate, whispered a few instructions and asked him to call for people in a hurry!
