He promised Ma Rulong, but didn't promise that it would happen. Han You pinched the horse's belly, and the old horse walked slowly towards the capital.
Han You is indeed very leisurely, which can be seen from his mount. If there is an emergency, he will ride a military horse.
Lu Baichuan was impatient and said angrily: "Shao Yin, can you ride a fast horse in the future? This old horse can run slower than Chef Liu."
Jiang Zhui asked: "Who is Chef Liu?"
"The lame man, the lame cook of Han Mansion, he's a damn thing who can kill a thousand people."
When it comes to Chef Liu, Lu Baichuan is full of complaints.
Now this Hanfu cook has been transferred to the canteen as a supervisor, specializing in making "staff meals". His skills are obviously not very good, but he insists on cooking. The three main characteristics of cooking are easy, convenient, and easy and convenient.
Lu Baichuan had diarrhea several times after eating it, but the strange thing was that other people were fine after eating it.
Hearing Da Chuan'er mention Chef Liu, Han You and Wang Hai looked at each other and pretended not to hear anything.
From entering the city to entering the palace, Stubborn Donkey walked and stopped. The three Shajia brothers rode military horses, but they did not dare to move quickly. Although Stubborn Donkey was old, it still had its power.
Han You got off the horse and patted the dull horse's eyes: "This old horse must have had many stories when it was young."
Lu Baichuan chuckled: "I also had many stories when I was young."
"You look like you've had a lot of accidents."
Han You threw the reins to Wang Hai and walked into the palace with Ba Ye.
Lu Baichuan looked at Jiang Zhui and Wang Hai, a little confused. Since the ball game was held, Han You began to dislike him again, and he didn't know why.
Wang Hai knew it and didn't tell him. After tying the horse, he saw that it was idle and started to sneer at the guards at the door.
Han You has really disliked Dachuan'er in recent days because of the team's competition.
You can only make a little money by selling tickets for the game, so Han You asked Pei Qi to build momentum in the capital. At the same time, he contacted the owners of several gambling houses and planned to try to set up a sports betting. The common people would not be allowed to participate, and only dignitaries in the capital would be allowed to place bets.
In this kind of thing, under normal circumstances the banker will make money, not to mention that the banker is also the organizer.
Han You also felt that he could make money and make a lot of money, but he felt numb after watching a few games of Lu Baichuan.
Han You knows exactly which team can perform well, who is the favorite to win the championship, the approximate ranking, etc.
It wasn't until Lu Baichuan got involved that Han You couldn't understand it at all.
If he should win, he will definitely lose; if he should lose, he will definitely win.
Originally, Han You thought he had found a pattern, but it turned out that he should have won, and he should have lost normally, but Lu Baichuan had won, and he had lost, and he had won again.
As long as this guy ends the game in person, no matter how Han You and Beimen Yuyong predict it, even if Zhou Yan, a professional, is added, they will never be able to predict the score related to Lu Baichuan. Let alone the score, the result of the game will not be determined. predict.
So Han You now regards Lu Baichuan as his lifelong enemy at this stage. If it weren't for Beimen Yuyong's persuasion, he would have directly disbanded Lu Baichuan's team.
It is worth mentioning that in order to understand Lu Baichuan's "rules", Han You specially asked Chef Liu to prepare a "special meal" before the Yi Dao team took the field.
Even so, Lu Baichuan went to the hut several times in a game, and the result of the game was still unpredictable.
After entering the palace, Han You didn't need to find any eunuchs or guards to lead him, and there was no one to guide him. He just walked to the outside of Jingzhi Hall on his own.
When the little eunuch at the door saw Han You coming, he quickly ran into the hall to report.
This is how Young Master Han is treated. You don’t have to pay for your cards, you don’t have to leave in any way, you can enter the palace directly, and you can pay the old man directly.
Entering the Jingzhi Hall, it was rare that Lao Ba did not approve the memorial today. Instead, he sat on the desk with his eyes squinting, as if someone had burned his property certificate.
Mr. Suan, who was standing next to him, had a wry smile on his face. When he saw Han You coming, he nodded slightly as a greeting.
"What's wrong?"
Han You walked towards the unhappy Zhou Laoba with a playful smile on his face: "Who messed with your majesty?"
Zhou Laoba rested his eyes and said, "What are you doing in the palace?"
"Then I'll go." Han You turned around and left.
Lao Ba quickly jumped off the desk and said, "Why are you so anxious? It's not because of you, it's because of state affairs."
Han You turned around and sat on the steps, minding his own business: "Can I help?"
"Hey." Laoba grinned happily: "Yes."
"Is it related to money?"
Zhou Laoba asked tentatively: "Can...is it related?"
"Can't."
"Then I won't need you anymore."
Han You: "..."
Lao Ba sat next to Han You and said angrily: "Show Han You the certificate on the official department."
Just as Wen Wu was about to pick it up, Han You said impatiently: "Just say it and it's over. I'm dizzy looking at those folds."
"Officers... no, it was Zhao Tai who took the document. After going down to court, he gave the document to Wen Wu and submitted it to my imperial case. Do you still remember the incident of embezzlement of food and salary in Beibianguan?"
"Remember, what's wrong?"
"Zhao Tai said that there is also this matter at Nanbian Pass and he wants me to investigate thoroughly."
"What?!"
Han You looked shocked: "The food and salary at Nanbian Pass have also been corrupted?"
"Not really."
Han You didn't know why: "Since he's not corrupt, why did Zhao Tai go to Zhezi?"
"It's not that I'm greedy."
"So is it greedy or not?"
"Greedy, it's just that you are greedy and I am willing. The Southern Army has no complaints, and the Southern Family has not sucked the flesh and blood of the Southern Army."
The more Han You listened, the more confused he became: "What does that mean?"
"Over the years, the imperial court has distributed food and salary and transported it to Nandi, but it cannot reach Nanguan, and even a load of food cannot reach Nanguan."
Han You was shocked: "Damn it, are you all greedy?"
"Listen to me, the Southland is different from the Northland. The families in the Northland are greedy. Those families in the Southland, including many families headed by the Zhao family, have never been greedy for the food and wages of the Southern Army. One of them is that the Southland is rich, and the other is the Zhao family. The family knew that if the Southern Army was lost and Nanguan was broken, the South would be littered with corpses. This was not a scene that the family wanted to see. It was precisely for this reason that the Nandi Family did not hesitate to spare no effort in the autumn and winter of the previous dynasty. Take out private grain and transport it to Nanguan to give to the border troops."
Han You scratched his chin: "Isn't this a good thing? Is it a good thing?"
"It is naturally not a good thing to give private grain to the officials and soldiers of the imperial court. But if I were not the emperor, I would think this is a good thing. It is precisely because the Nandi family is not greedy for the food and salary of the Mobian army. When the imperial grain and salary arrived in the Southland, the local government and the aristocratic family took over. , placed in major granaries. Once the Confederate army needs it, they will mobilize men and horses to transport it quickly. What is transferred is still new food. If it is cold and freezing in autumn and winter, and the family uses its own private households, it can save at least two days. In fact, during the previous dynasty, when the Confederate Army was short of food and pay, those aristocratic families raised money privately and handed it over to the Confederate Army."
"Are you so generous?"
Han You finally understood. He was not afraid of comparing goods, but was afraid of comparing others.
It was also about transporting food. The imperial court transported food and wages to the north. Governments and families from all over the country took advantage of them layer by layer. When it actually arrived at the northern border, at least half of it was missing, and the rest was reported as "loss".
Looking at Nandi again, Nandi is rich and has wealthy families. They don't take advantage at all. Not only are they not greedy, but they also pay for it out of their own pockets.
Go out of the granary first, store the excess grain sent by the imperial court, send some of it, and keep the rest. Once the southern army needs it, it will be sent as soon as possible. What is sent is still new grain, and the old grain sent by the imperial court is Selling it yourself is equivalent to "trade-in the old for the new", and it's free of charge.
Because the weather in Nanbian Pass is humid, grain cannot be stored for too long and is prone to mold.
In addition, many aristocratic families in the South will use their own money to send green vegetables, fruits, and meat to the Southern Army.
From the perspective of the Nandi family, the territory protected by the Southern Army was even more dangerous to the safety of the Southern Territory. The imperial court could not take the Southern Army seriously, but these families could not.
This seems to have a lot of benefits for the southern army, but there is one thing that is not in line with the rules.
The emperor also knew about this and turned a blind eye, because he strongly supported anything that was beneficial to the people and the army.
But now Zhao Tai takes the initiative to expose this matter. Once a thorough investigation is carried out, it will not be of any benefit to the border troops.
"its not right."
Han You was puzzled: "Zhao Tai is just looking for trouble. What is his motive? He clearly comes from the Zhao family in Nandi, and now he wants to investigate the Nandi family. What does he mean?"
"Actually, this is all to blame..."
Boss Zhou laughed dryly: "Do you still remember those essays you wrote? One of them is called Ning Caichen, the Ghost Rider."
"Remember, my first pot of gold." Han You asked with a question mark on his head: "Why did you suddenly mention this?"
"There is a sentence in the essay you wrote that says as long as you are brave, female ghosts can take maternity leave, right?"
"Ah, what's the matter?"
"So I... made a bold decision a few days ago."
Han You took a breath: "You gave it to a female ghost... did you meet a female ghost?"
Boss Zhou: “…”
The civil and military people next to him were too embarrassed to complain.
If you messed up, you messed up, and you even recommended Han You's book to be included in it. His book also talks about beating snakes, so why haven't I seen you catch a big snake for fun?
