Heavenly Dao Formula

The two didn't talk anymore, but they both saw the light and shadow in each other's eyes——

If you attack Liuzhou Huiyang City from here, you can arrive in the afternoon if you leave in the morning!

Considering that Fei Nian was stationed in the Huiyang government office for business, it is very likely that he will spend the night in the government office at night.

Olina can't cross such a long distance in one go, but Chi can, as long as a transit camp is set up at the border between the two states in advance!

But what if you miss it, or are discovered by the enemy halfway?

This information can only be used once, and Fei Nian's location cannot be pointed out in real time. Even if he just goes out for a short while, or goes out to the yard to bask in the sun, it may make this raid fail—just like those who escaped by chance Same with the Pelicans.

They have neither the time nor the opportunity to search Huiyang City.

At the same time, Fei Nian should also be protected by high-level alchemists, or he himself has a life-saving hole card.

However, once it succeeds, it can greatly disintegrate the Privy Council's early offensive. It can be said that risks and opportunities coexist, and neither is small.

Without verbal communication, the two completed these inferences only with their eyes.

"I remember that Fei Nian is the leader of the younger generation of the Fei family, right? At that time, he should be as famous as you from Youzhou." Li looked into Luo Qingqing's eyes and asked word by word.

You have participated in the same military examination in Qingshan Town, and you have cooperated with each other. If it is time to do something, will you be merciful?

"Indeed, even in Youzhou, there are quite a few people who compare me with him." Luo Qingqing's speech rate remained unchanged, still as calm as water, "It's a pity that he finally chose the Privy Council, and took a completely different path from us."

Cooperation is a thing of the past, and now my sword is only wielded to cut down the corrupt old order. If he insists on standing on the opposite side, I will not stop the dragon scale for him.

"That... two girls... no, two master alchemists, can we talk about the past later?" Kong Liang asked urgently, "If the enemy plans to attack the grain shop at night, should I notify the General Administration and ask for mediation?" Soldiers for protection?"

"No need." The two replied at the same time.

"Are you going to let the enemy attack?" He asked in surprise.

"Of course it's not laissez-faire. As long as these people dare to show their faces, Gun Gun will naturally follow them." Li turned his head, "But don't forget that the first task of the branch office is to calm down the price of grain, and to help those unscrupulous grain merchants who stock up on strange things to deal with the people of Baihe City. It's not doing any good."

"You just need to tell the store about this." Luo gently continued, "If someone is willing to restore the price of food to the beginning of the increase and sell it to the masses immediately, we will provide corresponding protection."

Kong Liang was a little embarrassed, "This...I'm afraid no one will agree."

Most of the businessmen are people who regard money as their destiny, and asking them to sell the stored grain in their hands at a low price when the grain price is three times that is no different from doing business at a loss. If the Bureau of Affairs did not pay corresponding benefits, those grain merchants would never take such warnings seriously.

"It doesn't matter if no one agrees." Li shrugged, "Anyway, this is the last time they will participate in grain trading."

Just like the changes that took place in Jinxia City, the monopoly of grain is an inevitable way-when the supply of ice ships completely replaces their business, these individual grain merchants will also become history.

...

Baisha County Mine, inside the manager's barracks.

There are only three people on duty tonight.

Huo Ying is one of them, and he is also the only reserve official who moved from Jinxia among the three.

To be honest, he was a little unconvinced when he was transferred from the capital of Shenzhou to such a remote county. In terms of assessment, he is the one with the best grades among the first batch of officials. In terms of ability, he is also the one who learns things the fastest. When others are still reciting the code of conduct for reserve officials, he has already been able to combine the code to make a remarkable work. 's argument.

After all, this thing is much simpler than stereotyped writing.

That's right, there is one thing that Huo Ying has never told others. He has passed the children's examination and can be regarded as a scholar—although he is nothing in the circle of scholars, but this is also a serious status. Only scholars can participate in the next township examination.

He sometimes wondered if his experience of participating in the scientific expedition was known by the secretariat, so he was thrown to Baisha County to manage the mine.

This made Huo Ying feel quite underappreciated.

He is by no means the same type of scholar as Zhou Dacai and Mr. Chen's son! One reason is that the family can't afford so much money for him to eat, drink and play, and the other reason is that he believes that scholars should have lofty aspirations and serve the country and the people. It is not impossible to have parties and have fun in a brothel, but living in a brothel every day is obviously a bit too much.

When the Bureau announced that he had passed the review of the reserve officer, he once thought that he had a chance to show his ambitions. He didn't expect that after passing the test with the best grades, he was greatly disappointed by the final transfer order.

I don't know how those scholar boys in Jinxia City are doing now.

If they knew about their situation, they would probably laugh out loud, right?

Everyone in the county was thinking that one day they would be able to settle in a big city. Fortunately, he was admitted as an official and reversed the situation.

Whenever thinking of this, Huo Ying couldn't help but sigh.

What he needs to look at in the mine is nothing more than the account books and production records, including checking the daily ore output, the daily salary of the recruiter, and the consumption of tools, etc. He is also responsible for keeping the keys of the mine and warehouse. Let's say it's not important, whether it's accounting or the warehouse are linked to money, let's say it's important, it doesn't seem to make a difference if someone else is in charge.

"Mr. Huo, are you idle and have nothing to do now?" Zheng Ming, a colleague sitting at another table in the room, asked.

"No, I'm busy."

"I heard you sigh." The other party got up and came over, pushing a dirty book in front of him, "Since you have time, come and teach me how to read, I happen to have a few things I don't understand."

"Why should I teach you?" Huo Ying said angrily.

"You are a scholar, you are the most knowledgeable person in this mine, I don't ask you who to ask?" Zheng Ming said as a matter of course.

No...does this have anything to do with my question? It's just that Huo Ying felt a little guilty when he heard the word "scholar". Yes, he didn't disclose it to anyone in the Bureau, but he slipped it up when he was drunk and told this local colleague who was about the same age as him. So that every time the latter mentions being a scholar, he doesn't think it's a compliment, but rather an irony.

Although Huo Ying knew that the other party was not that kind of person.

"That's all, you can ask."

"Eh!"

After Huo Ying finished explaining the pronunciation according to the school's Pinyin and Zhuyin method, he looked at his serious colleagues and couldn't help asking, "You don't use this on weekdays, so why learn to read?"

As a local resident of Baisha, the Zheng family has been working for the mine for several generations. After the fall of Qianzhi County, the master of the Zheng family also retired to the second line, and let his second son Zheng Ming take over his position, responsible for exploring new mines and solving mining problems. actual problems encountered. In other words, this is a craft, even more irreplaceable than reserve officials.

Even if he could not read a single word, or was simply dumb, it was unlikely that he would lose the job.

"Isn't the recruiting officer of the Bureau required to be able to write and read?" Zheng Ming scratched his cheek and said, "I also want to be one of you..."

"Why?" The answer was a little beyond Huo Ying's expectation.

"In the past, everyone worked in the mine and lived a miserable life. Since the Bureau came, life has improved. There are eggs in the chicken coop, and occasionally a plate of fish can be eaten." Zheng Ming He replied honestly, "So I want to join the bureau to make life better for the folks in the county."

What, is it possible that you also want to serve the country and the people? No... It should be for the county and the people. After all, I have never read a book, and my vision is still at the county level.

"Oh, there's no such simple thing." Huo Ying pouted.

"Indeed, just memorizing these few words is difficult enough."

"That's not what I'm talking about. The Bureau is equivalent to a government organization. Within the organization, you should obey and work wherever you are told." Huo Ying recited the original words in the code of conduct, "So stay away from Baisha in the end. The county is also very normal."

— just like him.

"Uh... is, is that so?" Zheng Ming was a little dazed for a moment.

"However, considering your specialty, you should still be transferred back to Baisha County." Huo Ying suddenly lost interest, "If you don't know anything, just ask directly. It's not a bad thing to learn more."

"Yes, then I will trouble you, Mr. Huo."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside the house, "Come and open the door, I'm back."

"It's Uncle Deng!" Zheng Ming responded immediately, "Wait a minute, I'll be right over!"

Are you finally back? Huo Ying raised his eyebrows. He has been going to the mountains to buy vegetables for a long time, and he will rush back to the mine when it gets dark.

Uncle Deng is also the oldest of the three on duty. He is over 35 years old this year. Like Zheng Ming, he is a local. He is responsible for the management of miners in the mine and scheduling work in the mine. He is also an experienced supervisor. By.

"Wait... Uncle Deng, who are they?"

Huo Ying suddenly heard inquiries from his colleagues.

"Oh, these are my friends, come over to have dinner today."

He couldn't help getting up and walking out of the room, looking towards the aisle.

There were more than a dozen figures standing behind Uncle Deng, the leader of whom was as tall as a wall.
