Mrs. Yipin's Farmer's Wife

Chapter 733 Yu Feiyang (2)
"Are there any casualties in the caravan?"

"No!" Cheng Fang said, "Wang Xin rescued them on the warship, but the cargo was gone."

Yi Zhiyun stared at a huge chart on the right side of the tent, pondered for a while with a sullen face, "Is the merchant ship going their way?"

"This..." Cheng Fang was taken aback, "Wang Xin didn't say anything about it!"

Yi Zhiyun narrowed his eyes, "Then ask after Wang Xin comes back!"

"Your Excellency, do you mean that these merchant ships did not follow the original route?" Cheng Fang asked, "Are they guarding against us?"

Yi Zhiyun looked at him, "Before, I always had a doubt in my heart. It is normal for these caravans to have their own way, but the sea is so big, it is impossible to completely avoid it. I have someone check it out. Without these caravans, the number of times they encounter pirates is abnormally small, and even if they do, the loss will not be too great!"

"Your Excellency suspects that some of these people are colluding with pirates?"

Yi Zhiyun said: "It's not so much collusion as it is bribery, it's just like escorting a bodyguard agency, it will benefit the people who pass by."

"Then this time they took the initiative to come to us for protection..."

"If my suspicions don't exist, then these people are just looking for protection." Yi Zhiyun said, "Otherwise it's for temptation, or guilty conscience!"

"If evidence is found for the general, the general will not let this traitor go!" Cheng Fang was annoyed. He was a native of Taizhou, and several of his family members died among pirates. Pirates colluding!"

Buying is also collusion!
"My lord, Wang Xin and the others encountered pirates this time. Could it be that these caravans colluded with the pirates in order to clear their suspicions?"

Yi Zhiyun didn't dare to say for sure, "Wait for Wang Xin to come back and check the situation first!"

Although Cheng Fang was full of anger, he could only respond, "Yes!" Then he changed the topic, "The materials allocated by the imperial court have finally been processed by the quartermaster."

"Okay!" Yi Zhiyun nodded, "The next batch of recruits is almost recruited, and the training focus of the previous batch will move up the water."

"Yes!"

Yi Zhiyun waved his hand, "Go down first."

"Yes."

Liu Qiao originally thought that Yi Zhiyun would not come back so soon this time, but five days later, he came back, very late, and she had already fallen asleep.

It was awakened by the familiar breath.

After opening his eyes, some couldn't believe that he was back.

"Why so late?"

"It bothered you?"

Liu Qiao sat up, first looked at the daughter who was sleeping next to him, then turned to Yi Zhiyun, and whispered: "Is everything done?"

"not yet."

Liu Qiao looked at his face with the dim candlelight, "Is something wrong?"

"No." Yi Zhiyun said with a smile, "There are some things I want to discuss with you, but it's very late now, you go to bed first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

Liu Qiao looked at him, "Let's talk about it first, I can't sleep either."

Yi Zhiyun looked at his daughter, "Go to the study?"

"Okay." Liu Qiao nodded, then got up and got out of bed, and after putting on her clothes, someone called the nurse and asked her to look after her daughter before going to the study with Yi Zhiyun.

Not his own study, but the study in the front yard.

After moving into the General Military Mansion, Liu Qiao never came to the study in the front yard, because the study of Mr. General Soldier is a forbidden area, although she can still enter because of her identity, she just doesn't want people in the mansion to gossip, so she has never been there.

The study in the front yard is naturally much larger than the one in her yard, and everything clearly shows that the owner here is a military general, and also a naval general.

Liu Qiao looked at the chart hanging on the wall, "Is it okay to hang this thing like this?"

"It's okay." Yi Zhiyun said, "This is just a rough chart, and the detailed ones are kept as military secrets."

Liu Qiao nodded and looked at him, "Tired?"

"It's okay." Yi Zhiyun said with a smile.

Liu Qiao said: "If it's not urgent, I'll ask someone to prepare a supper for you, and we'll talk about it after you use it."

"Alright." Yi Zhiyun didn't object.

Liuqiao asked people to prepare it, and soon it was served.

"So fast?" Yi Zhiyun was surprised, and it was all his favorite food. He looked up at his wife in front of him, "Do you have someone prepare it every night?"

Liu Qiao squinted and smiled, "Isn't it very virtuous?"

Yi Zhiyun's heart trembled, because she knew she had him in her heart, and knew that she was very nervous about him, but she would still be moved by a small action of hers, "Well, very virtuous."

"Eat, let's talk when we're full!"

Yi Zhiyun's nerves, which had been tense all the time, also relaxed. After feasting, he just talked about the business, "I want to arrange some people to join the long-distance caravan through Zhang's Winery."

Liu Qiao was taken aback, "Can I know why?"

"Of course." Yi Zhiyun nodded, "Before I told you that I had contacted these companies engaged in maritime trade in Taizhou. First, I hoped to learn more about the situation at sea from them. Second, I suspected that they had something to do with pirates. connect."

"Bring off the pirates?" Liu Qiao quickly realized what Yi Zhiyun had said, "When I went to camp in the sea, I also heard that these long-distance fleets have their own safe shipping channels, but now it seems The so-called security is nothing more than money. Do you want to find evidence that they bribed the pirates? It’s just Yi Zhiyun. Although the behavior of these people is hateful, it’s just that the shipping business is very profitable, and the backs of these firms are even more intricate. The navy can move! It is easy to kill them, but if they are not handled properly, the consequences will be difficult to estimate."

"Businessmen want to make money, I never thought that they are all clean." Yi Zhiyun said, "As long as they don't betray the country, I won't move, but if I can find evidence, that's a good thing, don't worry, I will submit it directly to the emperor, as for how to deal with it, that is the emperor's business."

"That's good." Liu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, "You are the commander-in-chief of the navy, so you should be responsible for fighting the battle well, and you shouldn't mix too much with other things."

"Don't worry." Yi Zhiyun said with a smile, "I still know these rules."

"Then what do you want to arrange for the secret agents to go in?" Liu Qiao asked, and then guessed without waiting for his answer, "Infiltrate the pirates through them?"

Yi Zhiyun nodded, "The spies we have sent out for more than a year have not been able to penetrate the interior, and the news they have found is all irrelevant. If this continues, when the pirates recover their strength, the Dazhou navy will be very passive! "

"Wouldn't it be better to contact these commercial firms directly?" Liu Qiao asked, "Zhang's Winery has never done shipping, isn't it a bit awkward to go through them?"

"I went back to the barracks this time because the people I sent to protect these long-distance merchant ships were attacked." Yi Zhiyun said, "This time, these merchants sent people to ask me to let the warships escort them, and the route they took On the surface it is a safe passage, but in reality it is not."
