In the few days after Huang An took charge of Xinping Fort, everything remained the same and no changes were made to Xinping Fort.
Merchants on the street come and go constantly every day, and the Xinpingbao soldiers patrolling the streets still patrol the streets all day long to maintain the stability of the fort.
"General, this place in Xinpingbao is too damn fat. If you just set up a few traps, your mouth will be full of oil." A sergeant dressed as a servant said in Huang An's ear. On the mobile phone, remember "→m.\B\iq\u\g\\o\m" in one second to provide you with wonderful novel reading.
Huang An was leaning on the reclining chair with his legs crossed, and he chuckled and said: "This place used to be under the management of Liu Heng. It can be said that it is the ground where the Tiger Flag is. As long as there is a Tiger Flag, there is no place that is not fat and oily." .”
"General, you have also taken office. When will we take action against Liu Heng?" the servant asked.
Huang An twirled the beard on his chin a few times and said calmly: "Don't worry, I have just taken office and everything is not yet stable, not to mention the tiger-character flag is not that easy to deal with."
"General, you have forgotten that Pei Xunjian of Yanghe Wei asked you to take action as soon as you took office. It has been several days now, and I am worried that Pei Xunjian will not be able to wait." The servant reminded.
After Huang An went from Lingqiu Guard to Zhenlu Guard, all the soldiers and servants around him were dismissed and left, leaving only two or three people, and this servant was one of them.
For such a loyal servant, Huang An has great trust in him.
So even though he was just a servant, he knew everything about Huang An and Pei Hong.
"You think Liu Heng is so easy to deal with!" Huang An glanced at the servants beside him and said, "We have just arrived in Xinping Fort not long ago. His people are everywhere here, and you are the only ones close to me. People, if you put your hands together, can you compare one to ten, or can you compare one to a hundred?"
The servant standing nearby rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers in embarrassment.
Huang An added: "Remember to tell the others later that they have been more honest recently. If you don't want to die, don't provoke the people with the Tiger Flag. Do you hear me?"
"I remember, little one." The servant nodded repeatedly.
Huang An reached out and grabbed the preserved fruit from the plate on the table, threw one into his mouth, chewed it, and asked at the same time: "Is there anything else?"
"It's a little trivial," the servant replied.
Huang An picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and said, "What's the matter?"
"There are a lot of merchants coming to Xinpingbao for business. I think we can place a few checkpoints along the road and collect taxes from these merchants. In less than half a year, the general can make back the money Shangguan spent." The servant is in Huang'an. He twirled his fingers in front of his eyes.
After hearing this, Huang An looked thoughtful and stroked his beard.
After a while, he said: "It's a good idea, but if you do this, will you anger the people in the Tiger Flag?"
The prosperity of Xinpingbao is due to the Tiger Flag, and the merchants who come to Xinpingbao are also because Xinpingbao can buy things from the Mongols.
After the imperial court closed the horse market with the Beilu, only Hu Ziqi, who had been having an affair with the Beilu, could obtain things from the Beilu on such a large scale.
He was worried that setting up private checkpoints would offend Tiger Flag.
"General, you are the guard of Xinping Fort. It is your duty to set up checkpoints. He, Liu Heng, is just a white businessman now and has no qualifications to dictate on this matter." The servant said.
With the checkpoints in hand, you can earn money openly and honestly. As a guard, Huang An can naturally get the lion's share, and soldiers and servants like him can also get a share of the profits.
Huang An thought for a while, then finally shook his head and said, "That's inappropriate."
"Is it possible that the general is worried that the people in the Tiger Flag will cause trouble for you?" asked the servant.
Huang An nodded and said: "I have just taken office. Except for you, there are not many people around me who can control me. You must not offend Tiger Character Banner at this time. Don't forget what happened in Lingqiu. Liu Heng and The Tiger Flag is not that easy to mess with."
"Young man, I understand." The servant bowed and said immediately, "It's just a pity that such a good opportunity has passed, and I can only watch the money fly away from my nose."
As he spoke, he subconsciously swallowed the saliva in his mouth.
After following Huang An from the Lingqiu garrison camp to the Zhenlu Guard, life was even harder than before when he was in the Tiancheng Guard. There was no oil or water at all on weekdays.
You can't get the money you want to drink a few more drinks or buy a few more coins.
Fortunately, the Huang family still has some foundation and has never cut off his salary, otherwise he would not be able to survive.
"Silver, what kind of silver?" As he finished speaking, a plump woman walked in from the door of the front yard.
When Huang An saw the person coming, he hurriedly climbed up from the recliner, walked up to meet the woman quickly, grabbed the woman's hands, and said kindly: "Why are you here, madam? Why don't you let someone send a letter in advance, so that my husband can go and greet him in person?" you."
"No need." The woman shook off Huang An's rough hands, looked at the servants on the side, and asked, "I heard you talking about money outside. What kind of money? Or is it that your general has hidden his private money?"
As she said that, she turned to glare at Huang An.
"What an injustice! My husband has never had any private money. Madam, you know that." Huang An hurriedly showed his innocence.
The servant standing aside first bowed to the woman, and then said: "The young man was just talking to the general about collecting taxes from merchants."
He knew that this lady could handle most of the affairs of his general, so he directly told the woman in front of him.
"On the way to Xinpingbao, there were indeed many merchants passing by. It is a good thing to collect taxes. I agreed on your behalf, general." The woman made her decision immediately.
When Huang An heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "You must not, madam."
"Huang, what do you mean? Don't forget, my father paid for your coming to Xinpingbao." The woman glared at Huang An and scolded.
Huang An shrank his neck after being scolded.
He was able to come to Xinpingbao from Zhenluwei. Except for the relationship with Pei Hong, the patrol censor, all the money he went to manage came from his father-in-law.
Even when he was an official in Tianchengwei before, it was his father-in-law's money that helped manage the relationship.
The so-called taking people's money has shortcomings.
Because of this, he couldn't stand upright in front of his tigress. Even if he was scolded, he didn't dare to talk back and could only endure it.
The servant standing aside said at this time: "The general is worried about Liu Heng, the previous guard of Xinping Fort. The scene like this here in Xinping Fort is all caused by the previous guard."
"This name sounds familiar. What kind of official is this person now?" the woman asked bluntly.
The servant said: "The last guard of Xinpingbao has resigned. Now he just lives in Xinpingbao and is a white businessman."
"Madam, this white merchant is extraordinary. You must not underestimate him. My husband is worried about him, so he doesn't agree to collect taxes from merchants traveling to and from Xinpingbao." Huang An persuaded his wife.
