Chapter 816
"Hehe, in Xia Youfu, I have heard for a long time that Mr. Shen has been admired for his reputation. Please don't blame Mr. Shen."
Yufu? This name is very special, but Shen Hao has never heard of it, and now everyone is covered with a layer of white robes, covering the official robes, Shen Hao can't tell who the other party is for a while.
Seeing Shen Hao staring at him but not talking to him, the frost on his face seemed to freeze him.
Youfu swallowed subconsciously, and thought to himself: This person surnamed Shen is really not easy to get in touch with, he looks at everyone coldly as if he owes him money.
He complained in his heart, but Youfu still had a smile on his face, he laughed and said: "Master Shen, Xiatian will be in charge of the head office of the Dental Bank, mainly responsible for the affairs related to Jingxi. Please take care of Master Shen."
It turned out to be someone from the dental shop, and he happened to be in charge of Jingxi's stall? Shen Hao turned around a few times in his heart, the coldness on his face eased, he nodded and said: "So it's Master You, nice to meet you!"
Is it really a pleasure to talk about it, but Shen Hao is interested in chatting with the other party. Anyway, he was in the corner, and he was really bored at the imperial banquet.
Seeing Shen Hao speak up, You Fu was greatly relieved. In order to be able to sit next to Shen tonight, he spent a lot of money to buy people in the palace, and specially arranged his seat here. If the surname Shen didn't say a word, his money would be wasted.
As long as you are willing to talk, it means that the following things can have a good start.
After exchanging pleasantries, You Fu whispered: "My lord Shen, now that His Majesty is enthroned, and the commander-in-chief Zuo in the south has won a big victory, I heard that the Ministry of War has already drafted a note to let the Fourth Army, which is filling the army formation in the south, begin to retreat gradually. According to the previous As a rule, only the frontier soldiers should be left in the south. There should be a large number of barbarian slaves coming back with them.
I heard that Mr. Shen has a preference for barbarian slaves. Would you like me to save some of the best ones for Mr. Shen? "
The other party didn't beat around the bush as Shen Hao thought, but got to the point within a few sentences.
South, slaves. As soon as these two key words came out, Shen Hao probably guessed why the other party was looking for him. It should be doing a test for one or several slave caravans. The reason, it must have been stimulated by the documents of the new slave caravan sent up by Zhu Shou.
To find a way out. After all, the power of the Ministry of War will definitely continue to fall into the hands of the new emperor. After Zuo Yuliang's military power is reduced and the battle in the south begins to end, a new page will follow. For Yahang and the slave caravan, they are looking forward to it. It has been a long time, and it is necessary to return to the old business.
But a new page represents a new rule. A document from the Ministry of War directly made Yahang and the slave caravan feel what it means to change from old to new.
In the past, it was possible to go out of customs and catch slaves smoothly, but now it can't. The Ministry of War has the approval procedures in its hands, and there is no way to get out of the customs without the procedures. As for how to obtain the specific approval procedures, the Ministry of War always shirks and does not explain.
At first, I thought Wen Mingju, the minister of the Ministry of War, was doing it deliberately, but when Zhu Shou, the owner of Fengricheng Yahang, sent a report, many people with a lot of brains saw some tricks.
It is rare to see someone like Zhu Shou in the tooth shop, because of ordinary background, no background, ordinary ability and resume, being a steward in a big city is considered to be the best, but he directly acts like a dark horse took over the post of owner. At that time, many people's jaws dropped.
At first they thought that Zhu Shou was lucky, but after careful consideration, many people came to realize that Zhu Shou was not lucky, but that he had an expert behind him to help him.
Just like this time, other veteran slave caravans couldn't even enter the Ministry of War, let alone obtain the slave hunting permit from the Ministry of War. They were all anxious like ants on a hot pot. But what about Zhu Shou? While reporting that he wanted to build his own slave caravan from start to finish, he directly got the permission document from the Ministry of War.
I asked Zhu Shou, but Zhu Shou insisted that he was just going through the normal process. He didn't know why the Ministry of War didn't embarrass him, and even gave him the slave hunting license before the slave caravan was built. Anyway, he just asked a question and didn't know what to do, which made You Fu, who was in charge of Jingxi's side, grieve with hatred, but he had nothing to do with the other party.
Zhu Shou's side is tight-lipped, but the Ministry of War is full of people and not airtight. So soon there was news that Zhu Shou was able to get the slave hunter's permission because Xuan Qingwei greeted the Ministry of War.
What does Xuan Qingwei do? In You Fu's words, what Xuan Qingwei did was all shady things. It's not a good thing to be involved in tooth shops and slave caravans these days.
Was Zhu Shou coerced? Or is it really ignorant?
As for the situation, You Fu did not press Zhu Shou, but naturally found someone from Xuan Qingwei that Zhu Shou might have come into contact with.
The only ones who can directly affect the Ministry of War are powerful characters in Xuan Qingwei. It is impossible for Zhu Shou to come into contact with this level of eunuch. Further down is the Qianhu Kuang Shengyuan of the Xuanqingwei Qianhu Office, and Shen Hao, the newly integrated leader of the Black Flag Battalion.
Kuang Shengyuan and Youfu are no strangers, he is an old face in Xuanqingwei. After a few trials, he was sure that Kuang Shengyuan knew nothing about slave caravans.
So in the end, only Lord Shen, the commander of the Black Flag Battalion, was left.
What's more, combined with Master Shen's experience, there was never a single step-by-step process along the way, and there was always trouble. In addition, Master Shen had served in the frontier army and was quite familiar with the south side. If Xuan Qingwei wanted to use the tooth shop to do something with the slave caravan this time, Master Shen was indeed the best candidate.
After thinking about it, Youfu decided to go directly to Master Shen to find out. What Zhu Shou can do, others can naturally do.
Shen Hao still maintained the posture of sitting upright, turned his head and glanced at You Fu, and said, "Master You has also gone to know about the population of Shen's family? That's right, my family has raised three fox girls, but I have no idea of raising any more." I appreciate Master You's kindness."
Youfu mentioned the slaves as a meme, no matter how Shen Hao answered him, he still had something to say, so he said: "Hehe, I am being rude again, I forgot that Master Shen is familiar with Zhu Shou from Fengri City, even if you want The slave can just go to Zhu Shou."
Shen Hao waved his hand and interrupted: "Master You, Zhu Shou and I do know each other, but we can't even say "familiar". It's just that he helped me pick out slaves when I bought them before, and I'm very satisfied, so it's considered acquaintance. And Master You has something to say, why don’t you get straight to the point? It’s so annoying to be twisted and twisted.”
Youfu looked around after hearing the words, and said with a low voice: "Master Shen is really forthright, but it's not convenient to go into details here. I wonder if Master Shen can treat me with a cup of tea after the imperial banquet is over?"
PS: I feel a little uncomfortable today, so I used this week's rest first, 2 more. excuse me.
