"Why do you think so?" Xiang Mingda asked in surprise.

Bai Ziren raised his eyebrows, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip, isn't this the normal direction of the story?

Xiang Mingda said: "Emperor Jingzheng and General Lei Ting have a very good relationship. The two of them live in the palace together and sleep at night..."

"Pfft..." Bai Ziren spit out the tea that he just drank into his mouth.They all slept together, it wasn't just a relationship.

"Mr. Bai, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Mingda wanted to step forward to wipe his face.

Bai Ziren quickly dodged his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, just keep talking."

Xiang Mingda sat back in his seat, "Are you okay?"

"Really, just go ahead and say, why did General Lei Ting go to repair the post?"

"Oh, good." Xiang Mingda said: "General Lei Ting himself proposed to build the station.

After the war ended, General Lei Ting gave money to the soldiers who were willing to go back to their hometowns, but only a small number of them had homes to go back to.Most of them were refugees, and they joined the army when they couldn't survive. There was no home for them to return to.

At that time, the general still had nearly 80 Thunder Army under his command. The imperial court was unwilling to pay the army to support so many people, and wanted to force most of the soldiers to be dismissed, leaving only [-] strong.

Of course, General Lei Ting disagreed with the forced dismissal. He suggested that the soldiers should go to the states to level the official roads and build official posts, which would count as official service and be hired by the imperial court.

The officials and gentlemen of the imperial court knew what to say about the empty treasury and the lack of money.

Of course, what kind of character our General Thunder is, no matter how difficult it is, he will not leave his brothers alone.

When the treasury didn't have money, he paid it himself. The general took out all his property, and borrowed a lot of silver in his own name, and took his brothers to the south in a mighty way.

Where do you think the general went at his first stop? "

Bai Ziren raised his eyebrows again, took a sip of tea, "I can't guess."

"Hey, I know you can't guess it." Xiang Mingda scratched his head and smirked twice, "It's Pingzhou."

Bai Ziren: If it's Pingzhou, then it's Pingzhou, why are you so silly.

"Mr. Bai, let's set off tomorrow morning, rest in Li County in the evening, and walk another day the day after tomorrow to reach Pingzhou.

We will stay in Pingzhou for a whole day because we have to deliver a batch of goods.Then you can go out for a walk, Pingzhou is a big city, there are many lively and interesting places.

If you need someone to accompany you, you can consider me, I am very familiar with Pingzhou.Because I am from Pingzhou, hehe..."

"Boss Xiang, did General Lei Ting pay for all the post stations? He can't have so much money alone, right?" Bai Ziren changed the subject, he still wanted to hear the story of General Lei Ting.

"Of course not. General Lei Ting is a clean and honest man, and the spoils of war have been shared with his brothers. He has no secrets at all. All the property of the general, even with the ones he borrowed, is only enough to build five or six inns.

So at that time, the general selectively picked a few big cities first, and our Pingzhou was among them.The first batch of these post stations were built by the general himself. He not only designed the layout of the post station, but even bought stones and timber.

Because the post station in Pingzhou was the first one, it took five years to complete it.Later, with experience, the later post stations were all started at the same time, and they were all completed in three years.

After the inn was built, many people came to live just because of General Lei Ting's name.Because the post station is guarded by the Thunder Army, the security is very guaranteed, and the fees are not expensive, more and more businessmen come here attracted by the name.It took less than a year to earn three times the money back.

Later, the Thunder Army began to build post stations in various prefectures and counties.After each station is built, there will be a group of people who can work in the station, be guards, or open their own shops.They are all chosen by themselves, those who want to stay, and those who don't want to go to the next place. "

"According to what you said, this inn should be considered the private property of General Lei Ting, why is it called an official inn?" Bai Ziren asked.

"Hey, if you don't want to talk about why General Lei Ting is still highly respected, it is because he is a selfless person.

At the beginning, it was necessary to use the money earned by the post station to build a new post station and build official roads. Basically, there was not much money left.By the 15th year of Jingzheng, most of the post stations had been completed, and the official roads were almost repaired.Without expenses, the post station's huge annual profits will be saved.

The general saved the money every year and divided it equally among the 80 brothers, saying that the inn was built by everyone, and the money was also shared.

In the 20th year of Jingzheng, the brothers all had a lot of savings, and they also had a stable income working in the post station, so they felt embarrassed to collect the money from the general.

Then the general donated all the profit of the station.The money is divided into two parts, one part is directly charged to the national treasury, which is specially used to increase the military salary of the soldiers, and the other part is managed by the imperial court and used for disaster relief in disaster areas such as earthquakes and floods every year.

In order to reward General Lei Ting's righteous deeds, Emperor Jingzheng personally sealed these post stations as official post stations. "

Hearing the selfless General Lei Ting described by Xiang Mingda, Bai Ziren seemed to see the tall figure who always rushed to the forefront in battle again.

"Thunder... General, he has always been like this!" Bai Ziren sighed.Every time he goes on a mission, he always rushes to the front. Whenever someone is in danger, he will definitely go up to save them.

Seeing that someone was going to be swallowed by the death vortex, he would definitely stretch out his hand to pull them away, even if the consequence of doing so was that he himself would be swallowed.

Thank you gods and Buddhas for allowing Wei Ting to arrive in this world safely. He has made such great achievements and helped so many people. Wei Ting must be very happy in this world.

……

"Mr. Bai, you also think that General Lei Ting is very great." Xiang Mingda said, "I really envy the first generation of Lei Ting Army back then, they can have such a good general who is so considerate of them to follow.

It's a pity that after 70 years of Jingzheng, the Thunder Army is no longer what it used to be.Like Brother Lu when they retired, those with higher positions could be assigned to the yamen, and those with lower positions could be assigned to the post station, but many of the post stations are old employees who have been there for many years, and they can't accept many new recruits every year.

Therefore, many people with insufficient military merit can only fend for themselves in the end.

Fortunately, now there is General Wei and the Thunder Escort. "Xiang Mingda scratched his head again, "Hey, our luck is pretty good. "

Just as Bai Ziren was about to ask who General Wei was, he saw Tao Wenyu and Huang Linzhen come back.

"Xiao Yu, are the salutes ready?"

"Well, Brother Ren, our rooms are next to each other." Tao Wenyu said happily, "Brother Ren, let's go out for a stroll, I saw a lot of shops on the way here."

"Okay." Bai Ziren stood up with the chair propped up, and Xiao Yu hurried over to support him.

Xiang Mingda thought: Why did you agree to other people's invitation so easily, why didn't you agree to mine.I am very familiar with every shop in the post station. I even know exactly where their goods come from. Would you like me to accompany you? Well, I know you will not agree Yes, my heart hurts so much.

Huang Linzhen also couldn't bear the sight of these two people going out shopping, he said: "Master Bai is not in good health, and he has to go on his way tomorrow, why don't you rest in the room today. I will go shopping with Xiaoyu."

Bai Ziren stood up, straightened his back, "My health is much better, and it's fine to go outside, so I don't need Doctor Huang to worry about it."

His physical weakness was caused by the shattering of the supernatural core. No matter how much he rested, his body would not get better. Similarly, no matter how tired he was, his body would recover quickly and would not get worse.

……

Tao Wenyu helped Bai Ziren walk on the road, and Huang Linzhen was beside him.

Yes, Huang Linzhen followed up tenaciously. The reason he gave was that he was afraid that if Bai Ziren felt unwell on the way, he would be a doctor who could help him treat him.

Bai Ziren: Although I look sick, I'm not going to die halfway.

Xiang Mingda originally wanted to follow up with this shameless strategy, but suddenly someone came to him to discuss business. In order to help these bachelor brothers in the third team save more money to marry their wives, he could only go to work with a sense of responsibility .

"Brother Ren, let's go to that store to have a look!" Tao Wenyu said.

Bai Ziren looked in the direction he pointed, Jinxiu Pavilion, which looked like a clothes seller.

Entering Jinxiu Pavilion, one can see that there are ready-made clothes hanging on the wall inside, and there are counters with cloths on the bottom.

A woman in a pink brocade dress greeted them: "Three gentlemen, what do you want to see, fabric or ready-made clothes?"

This was the first woman Bai Ziren saw going out to work in this world, and seeing Huang Linzhen's usual expression next to her, such situations should not be uncommon.The status of women in this world is much higher than that of women in ancient Chinese society. This should also be due to Wei Ting.

"I want to see the fabrics, red silk satin and dark blue muslin." Tao Wenyu said.

"Okay, three gentlemen, sit down for a while, I'll go and get the fabric." The woman in the pink skirt said, signaling them to sit on the bench next to them.

Tao Wenyu supported Bai Ziren to sit in the middle of the bench, and he sat on his right.Huang Linzhen circled around the stool, walked around to Tao Wenyu, and sat down next to him.

"Little Doctor Huang, there is still such a big seat on my left, you can sit on my side." Bai Ziren said, "It's so crowded when you sit on Xiaoyu's side!"

Huang Linzhen was as immobile as a mountain, "If you move to the left, wouldn't we all be spacious?"

Bai Ziren: What he said makes sense, how should I refute it?

The author has something to say: no responsibility, small story:

General Thunder × Emperor Jingzheng

General Lei Ting dedicated all the profits of the station to the imperial court. What a selfless spirit this is!

Yes, General Lei Ting is indeed a role model for my generation.

Such acts of righteousness are comparable to those of saints.

In Emperor Jingzheng's study, Wei Ting presented the account books of all post stations.

Wei Ting: Your Majesty, this is the minister's dowry, please accept it.

Emperor Jingzheng: Huh?

Wei Ting: Your Majesty, please calm down. It was a slip of the tongue just now. This is my dowry.

Emperor Jingzheng: Yes.
