imperial psychologist

Chapter 432
"I thought so too at the time," Wang Yuzhang said with a smile, "but when I asked later, he had never left the Pingjing area since he came to Beijing at the age of five or six."

"Then how can you see mistakes and omissions at a glance?"

"Yes," Wang Yuzhang patted his thigh, "I wondered too, but I didn't know him well at that time, so I didn't know much about him. Later, Bai Siyao handed over the monthly reconciliation work to Mr. Wei After going back and forth, I found out that he has always been very interested in the northern border and the ice fields north of the northern border.

"It just so happens that I have the convenience of working in Beizhen Fusi, so I can often see new pictures that I can't see outside."

Mrs. Wang suddenly realized, "I see, this is really convenient."

"That's not enough," Wang Yuzhang laughed, "Actually, in the final analysis, the most annoying thing now is not the gold thief but the robbers blocking the road when going north from Pingjing. Times are different again.

"Of course the robbers can be suppressed, but the key is that the current situation is turbulent. If this group is suppressed, the next group will rise again, and it is not known whether the gold thieves will come over in the future, so even if you pay Even if the bandits are suppressed, the business roads that have been swept away may not be able to be preserved.

"So these main roads were not able to be guarded for a long time from the beginning." Wang Yuzhang's expression was a little serious, "But there is still a way to temporarily ensure the smooth flow of commercial roads."

"what?"

"Borrow the east wind." Wang Yuzhang tapped his finger on the table, "Borrow the east wind of the army transporting grain to the north. They have heavy firearms in their hands, and their advantage is basically crushing. As long as there are troops on the official road, these wandering Robbers will stay out of the way for a while."

"I've heard about this," Mrs. Wang nodded, "There were many storytellers outside before who sang, saying that Emperor Shengming ordered that if you meet bandits on the road, you will regard them as opportunities to practice marching—where do you meet them?" Once it’s up, it will be wiped out somewhere. The food shipment can be properly overdue, anyway, the food was not originally used for emergency.”

"Yes." Wang Yuzhang nodded, "So, as long as you follow the grain transportation team, you can be taken care of... But the court cannot allow this kind of practice."

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised, "...Is the court not allowing it?"

"Of course it's not allowed," Wang Yuzhang said softly, "If everyone dares to make excuses like this, wouldn't the food delivery team become escorts who don't need money? Every time I solve the food, it attracts a bunch of tails, and finally delays the business, then—"

"But isn't our 'Xianmei Dao' just... doing this?"

Wang Yuzhang laughed twice, "Madam, do you know why 'Xianmei Road' is called 'Xianmei Road'?"

"Tie the horse with a bit," Mrs. Wang said softly, "Wrap the horse's hooves with cloth, and put something in the horse's mouth...then the horse will run silently."

"Then why is there no sound?"

"..." Mrs. Wang took a long time to react, "It's not to avoid the bandits, but to prevent the imperial court's food delivery team from being aware of it?"

Wang Yuzhang smiled and didn't answer.

"This is... this is really too bold."

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, but she didn't have much worry on her face. Instead, she added a curious smile, "The distribution of food can be regarded as a secret of the imperial court. Where did the master get the news of the route and departure? ? Was it also that Bai Siyao from the palace who helped inquire about it?"

Wang Yuzhang laughed out loud, "That Boling ghost, she won't drag herself into the water, she even used this to rip me off, asking for a shareholding, and blackmailing my caravan for [-]% per trip Profit... Otherwise, why would Wei Shishi come to my door every month to reconcile the accounts with me - the monthly interest of their previous money is normally settled every six months."

Only then did Mrs. Wang fully understand, she covered her mouth and smiled, "Was Mr. Wei the one who came up with this idea?"

Wang Yuzhang nodded, and he touched his belly which was about the same size as his wife regretfully, "After contacting for more than a year, I think this Mr. Wei is not only quick-witted, but also has a lot of experience in many companies and ticket offices. He also has a lot of ideas about things.

"I've been wondering if it's possible to invite this Buddha to my temple to do something."

Mrs. Wang gave her husband a slap, "Wake up...that's a business trip. He's coming to the house to reconcile the accounts. That's doing work for Baisi Yao. It's barely a job. We're a merchant...the family can accommodate us." I can't let go of this great Buddha."

Wang Yuzhang frowned noncommittally - there was no need for his wife to mention this matter, he had already thought of it a long time ago.

"Hey, let's take a look, anyway, I think this is still possible," Wang Yuzhang said, "After all, he is the secret guard of Bai Siyao now, and he is not as tightly restrained as other guards in Jinyiwei. And I I have a feeling..."

"what?"

Wang Yuzhang smiled, but his expression was a bit uncertain, "I think, Bo Ling seemed to let him come here on purpose."

……

In Wang Yuzhang's ticket office, Bo Ling has opened a total of three accounts over the years.

One is the Tianzi account that Bo Ling opened in his own name three years ago under the supervision of Jin Yiwei—there are 230 taels of silver and 140 taels of gold in it.

However, in the second year of Shengming, during the days when Bai Yi accompanied him to the expedition, this quiet and demure pharmacist suddenly became addicted to gambling. This huge sum of money was lost with only 20 taels of silver left...

When Bai Shijun came back, he ran to the casino to look for his daughter in disbelief—only then did he realize that what the neighbors told him was true.

Bai Shijun cried aloud on the spot, so the girl suddenly came to her senses, and took the only 20 taels of silver she had left with her back home with her father, and she never gambled again.

Thanks to Zheng Mi's secret care, this incident didn't spread much in Beijing—but it couldn't be hidden from the eyes of the other teenagers. After hearing this incident, Zeng Jiuyan and the others were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths, and they ran directly to In the yard of Bai's house, he asked Bai Ling about his passing.

However, during that time, Bo Ling was about to be locked up by Bai Shijun at home, and he lived a life of poverty every day, facing the wall and thinking about his past.

Several people chatted for a while across the low wall of the courtyard. Bo Ling really had a correct attitude of admitting mistakes and standing up to attention when beaten. This inexplicable enlightenment made Zeng Jiuyan, Zhang Jingzhen and Li Fengyu laugh so hard.

When Zeng Jiuyan returned home, he wrote the incident as a joke and sent it to Bai Yi in the Northland.

Thus, Bai Ling's gamble reached the ears of Bai Yi and Chen Yicong across a distance of thousands of miles—both of them were filled with question marks, but when they returned to the capital, Bai Ling was completely the same as before. No problem at all.

This made Chen Yicong a little confused about how to speak, so he simply stopped asking.

When Bai Yi returned home, closed the door and asked Bo Ling why he went to gamble so easily, Bo Ling told him in a low voice that after that gamble, she had opened two tickets at the Yuzhang ticket office through Wang Yuzhang himself. In a dark room.

All the money exported from the gambling house has been quietly transferred into these two dark accounts.
