A month ago, Zhao Muyun heard from Pei Lun's family general Pei Liao that the court would send a brave and courageous captain to Yinzhou.
It is called assistance, but it is actually supervision.
Moreover, this person is a royal relative.
Zhao Muyun complained to Pei Lun through Pei Liao at that time, hoping that Pei Lun would resolve the matter and not let this gentleman go to Yinzhou to ruin their plans.
The production of illegal salt must not be known to the imperial court.
A month passed and no one came. Zhao Muyun thought that Pei Lun had used his connections in the court to settle everything.
But who knew that this person would come anyway!
Even Pei Lun couldn't stop him, so this person must be very powerful!
Is he here to investigate the illegal salt?
Humph, if anyone dares to touch this piece of cake, he will suffer the consequences.
"Where are the people?"
Zhao Muyun asked calmly.
"Once the group leaves Pianguan, they will be able to reach Yinzhou before sunset today. Moreover, Lord Pei will accompany him to take up his post." Han Zhong looked gloomy.
In Han Zhong's opinion, Yinzhou has reached its current size because of the hard work of Zhao Muyun and his group of brothers.
This brave and resolute commander from the imperial court clearly came here to reap the rewards.
Not only was Han Zhong unhappy, but Tang Yanhai, Lin Feng and others who came with Han Zhong were also very unhappy.
Over the past two months, Yinzhou has transformed from a ruin to its current prosperity, which is inseparable from the efforts of these old brothers.
They are hostile to any outsider who comes.
"What are you all doing? It's just a brave captain coming here, what kind of waves can he cause?"
Seeing Han Zhong and the others in such a state, Zhao Muyun was immediately furious and said in a cold voice, "Grow up a little bit, okay? Yinzhou is ours, and no one else can covet it! Unless we give up on our own!"
"Boss Zhao, we are worried that the person coming has bad intentions!" everyone said hurriedly.
"The others are still trying to get to the point of leaving, and you're already losing your composure. Shame on you!"
Zhao Muyun shouted angrily, "Everyone, get back here and do what needs to be done! I'll handle this kind of thing!"
Zhao Muyun waved his hand to send Han Zhong and the others away, then strode into Bai Ruolan's office: "Li Si, guard the door for me, and don't disturb me unless necessary!"
"Yes, sir!"
Li Si bowed and accepted the order, then stood outside the gate with a serious expression.
He left Bai Shenglai and went to Zhao Muyun, and reported Bai Ruolan's information so that Zhao Muyun could act in time and bring Bai Ruolan and her servant back to Yinzhou before the rebels.
Zhao Muyun did not treat him unfairly and made him a personal bodyguard, paying him three taels of silver per month, which was ten times more than the three hundred coins he earned per month from Bai Sheng before.
In addition, Zhao Muyun taught him some fighting and grappling techniques from time to time, and asked Li Si to take the four bodyguards who had followed Bai Shouren into the Gobi Desert and killed their companions as a token of their loyalty to form a guard team.
The five of them were all from the Bai family before, and were used by Zhao Muyun as personal bodyguards. No one else would dare to use them in this way.
But Zhao Muyun was a man who did not employ people if he doubted them, and trusted people when he employed them. He used his strong personal charm to infect Li Si and the four bodyguards.
Li Si and the other five people did not expect that Zhao Muyun would have such a broad mind and courage. Apart from being grateful, they did not have any unreasonable expectations at all.
......
"Brother Yun, your multiplication table is truly amazing. When I'm doing my accounts, I can calculate quickly without even using an abacus."
"And your Arabic numeral accounting system is so practical. If I had used it in my account book in Shuozhou, I would only need one page!"
"And... and..."
As soon as she saw Zhao Muyun come in, Bai Ruolan's eyes flashed with a strange look, and Chun Xiang tactfully left the room.
Bai Ruolan was grateful and concerned about Zhao Muyun from the beginning, and later she developed feelings for him.
When Zhao Muyun rescued her from the rebels in time, she had already pledged her heart to him and refused to marry anyone else.
Her father is dead, her mother is long gone, her cousin wants to kill her, and the only person she can rely on is Zhao Muyun.
However, after Zhao Muyun, against all odds, appointed her as the warehouse manager to manage the finances of Yinzhou Prefecture, she realized her short-sightedness.
Her business arithmetic skills, which she was proud of, were as insignificant as the grains of sand in the Ganges in front of Zhao Muyun.
Zhao Muyun's casual instruction on the multiplication table and Arabic numerals opened the door to a new world for Bai Ruolan.
Gratitude and admiration for Zhao Muyun gradually turned into a lot of worship.
Within a month, she gradually learned about Zhao Muyun's growth from a small soldier in the border army to a captain of a prefecture, as well as Zhao Muyun's ideas in military and economic aspects, and she respected him like a god.
In particular, under the operation of Zhao Muyun, the two industries of coal and fine salt were not only tied to the interests of Pei Lun, Du Wei and others, but also brought substantial economic resources to Yinzhou.
With such business thinking, the senior officials of the Ministry of Revenue in the court could not even dream of it.
If Zhao Muyun were to do business, the Bai family would probably look down on him.
Bai Ruolan even sometimes seriously suspected that Zhao Muyun was definitely not from an ordinary farming family, but was probably the reincarnation of the famous general of the previous dynasty who was a master of both civil and military affairs.
Being a prefectural commander might just be his starting point, but Zhao Muyun is definitely not an ordinary person.
She developed expectations and desires for Zhao Muyun, hoping to become his woman as soon as possible and help him grow silently behind his back.
"Miss Ruolan, you are very talented. I feel very relieved to have you take care of Yinzhou Prefecture's finances!"
"It seems that you have already understood the secret. I believe you will carry it forward in the future."
