    Previous chapter: Chapter 43 Xuzhou (Part 1) "Please come this way!" The clerk on duty was already preparing to pounce on him, but when he saw the kit in Boyan's hand, he showed a look of caution on his face.  It immediately turned into a smileww.  He turned sideways to make way for a passage and led Boyan away from the crowd of people queuing up for inspection.  Then he took the kit, took out the certification document inside, and slowly studied it word for word.  "What's wrong?" The surrounding people who had passed the test immediately stopped.  Everyone frowned and talked among themselves.  "Who knows, it seems that this man has been a Tatar soldier before!" "Why has he been a Tatar soldier? Look at his eyes and look, he is clearly a Tatar!" "He is really a Tatar.  Only Tatars have such wide eyes and can look straight at people!" "It's Tatars who are careful! Kill him, kill him!" There was a surge of emotion all around.  But there wasn't much fear on everyone's faces, they just wanted to see the "Tatars" cut into pieces.  After hearing this, Boyan, who was undergoing a special examination, suddenly felt that the hairs all over his body were standing on end. His heart, which was originally full of hope, was sinking down from his chest like ice.  sink downward.  Just when he felt his hands and feet starting to get cold, the officer in charge of the inspection had already verified his identity based on the facial features described in the document.  Immediately, he put the document back into the brocade bag with both hands and handed it back respectfully.  Then he raised his right hand to his ear and gave him a very dignified Huai'an military salute, "Sir, welcome home!" "Sir, welcome home!" The soldiers who were secretly on guard around him also lined up in a row.  , lined up to show Boyan the highest respect for soldiers.  The discussion around suddenly stopped, and then the crowd started to boil.  "It's not the Tatars who are working hard, it's our people. The people we sent to the north to spy on the Tatars' military situation are back!" "Look at his thick eyebrows and big eyes, how could he be a Tatar!" "Even if he is a Tatar, he can be divided well.  Tartars and bad Tartars! Many generals in the Huai'an army were once Tatars!  Which ethnic group is that?" "Hero, hero!" "Welcome home!" "Go home, go home" Amidst the enthusiastic cheers, Boyan's lips trembled.  Xu raised his hand and returned the favor with the standard Huai'an military salute as possible.  As Tuotuo's former adopted son and a senior general of the Yuan Dynasty's Forbidden Army, he had often received courtesy from his subordinates before, and he had also been surrounded by cheers and praises.  But only today did he truly feel the warmth contained in the cheers.  [To read the latest chapters of this book, please go to&26825;&33457;&31958;&567;&35828;&32593;&119;&119;&119;&46;&109;&105;&97;&110;&104;&117;&97;&116;&97;&110;&103;  &46;&99;&99;] Like a whole jar of strong liquor, it poured directly from his throat into his lower abdomen.  It made him feel warm and crisp all over his body, and his feet felt like they were stepping on clouds.  "Sir, please come with me!" Seeing more and more people coming forward, the clerk quickly gestured to Boyan and led him towards the rows of wooden houses next to the pier.  "My subordinates were too stuck earlier. Please don't blame me, sir. After all, the war is about to begin, and we are in Xuzhou, the first stop. There is a mix of people coming and going. So I have to be more careful!" "  It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Boyan's heart was burning hot from the gradually decreasing cheers behind him.  He waved his hand and responded with a trembling voice.  "Our Huai'an Army, when will our Huai'an Army prepare to set off? Sorry, if it's inconvenient to say, just pretend I didn't ask!" "Of course there is nothing I can't say to you, sir. But, my subordinates really don't know!"  His face turned slightly red and he responded with a sneer.  "Oh!" Boyan heard this and felt a little regretful.  At that moment, he almost regarded himself as a Huaiyang person.  But at this moment, I suddenly found that the barrier had returned. My appearance and eyes made it difficult for me to be confused with the people around me.  "Actually, if you want to know, sir, it's much easier than for your subordinates!" The clerk suddenly scratched his head and added in a lowered voice.  "You are a talented person in the Military Intelligence Department and your position is so high. Of course you will know earlier than your subordinates. At the moment, Master Zhang from the Military Intelligence Department and Master Chen from the Internal Affairs Department are also in Xuzhou. It is definitely better for you to ask them than to ask anyone else.  People are good at asking questions!" "Master Chen and Master Zhang have also arrived in Xuzhou." When Boyan heard this, his heart suddenly tightened again.  The two chief agents of the Huai'an Army, Chen Ji, the head of the Internal Affairs Department, and Zhang Song, the head of the Military Intelligence Department, have rushed to the front line to take charge. Is it possible that the date for the army to go north will be far away?  Maybe even the warships transporting troops are ready, and they will just wait for the Yellow River to thaw.The boats all set off together.  "Of course, we've been here for less than half a month. This morning, they came to the dock to check the thickness of the ice!" The clerk didn't know that Boyan could think of so many things in one moment, so he scratched his head again and lowered his head.  Sound response.  While talking, the two of them had already arrived at the door of the wooden house.  The clerk opened the door of what seemed to be the largest house and let Boyan in.  Then while arranging for someone to bring hot tea and snacks, he explained with a smile: "Sir, please sit here for a while. People and things in the Military Intelligence Department have never been under the control of us. They will be in charge later."  I'll send someone to pick you up and escort you to your direct supervisor!" "Thank you!" Boyan thought for a while and nodded with a smile.  Out of habit, he reached into the purse at his waist and found that the silver beans he had hidden inside had been spent.  He just took his hand out in embarrassment, and continued to 'touch' the copper inside. Fang Zheng's face turned red again.  That little official is responsible for the precautions and meticulous work on the dock every day. How many people and things have he seen?  In an instant, he saw clearly the reason for Boyan's face turning red. He quickly took two steps back and waved his hand quickly, "Sir, sir, you must be polite. Brother knows that you are kind-hearted and want to warm him up.  But if someone sees it, brother, my whole life will be ruined. No, please don¡¯t pay. Our Huai¡¯an Army has strict rules. Except for your Military Intelligence Department, other departments will find out about this kind of thing, and both give and receive gifts.  Bad luck!" "Huh?" Boyan opened his mouth slightly and couldn't help but exclaimed.  Previously, he was worried that he would not be able to get rid of the copper coins in his purse, but now, he wished that there was not even a copper coin left in his purse.  In the Yuan Dynasty, the rules were not like this.  From the emperor Tuohuan Timur to the helper who patrols the city, no one at any level will refuse gifts from others.  And there are hundreds of ways to give and receive gifts.  What kind of money, money for festivals, birthday money, regular money, favor money, and gift money? The amount is so large that ordinary people can't even remember it. It is commonplace from the official to the private sector.  If you don't accept gifts or give gifts, you will be regarded as a different kind, and you will find it difficult to move anywhere.  In the midst of embarrassment, I heard the junior official say with a smile: "Sir, don't worry. In fact, people who have just come from the north will not be too adaptable to our Huaiyang rules. Including subordinates, when the general manager first issued the clean government order,  , but also felt a little unkind. But after three or two years, everyone has discovered the benefits. The person who is doing things does not need to worry about other people's hobbies, and the people who are doing things don't have to think about the importance of gifts.  Someone helps open the back door. As long as everything follows the rules, everyone will be happy! "That's right, that's right!" Boyan nodded first, and then sighed secretly.  His adoptive father, Tuotuo, was known as a wise prime minister. When his house was ransacked, the money and jewelry he took out of his mansion filled up less than half of the national treasury.  As for those famous corrupt officials, such as Yan Timur, Hama, etc., they are all extremely wealthy.  The internal governance has been so corrupted, and externally they have encountered an opponent from the Huaiyang General Manager's Office who even ordinary patrol officials know how to be honest and self-disciplined. It would be strange if the Yuan Dynasty could still withstand it!  "Sir, do you have any family members left in the north?" Seeing a sudden look of gloom on Boyan's eyebrows, the clerk asked very considerately.  "No, no." Boyan quickly regained his composure and shook his head gently.  "Lu, my immediate boss is very generous and has sent my family members across the Yellow River a long time ago. Now, there is no more nostalgia there!" As soon as the words came out, he suddenly felt his shoulders relax again.  Yes, I have already crossed the Yellow River, why are I worried about the Yuan Dynasty?  It is greedy, it is violent, everything that has happened and is happening inside it is unreasonable, but it will eventually become a thing of the past.  But the land beneath our feet, and all the people on it, are about to usher in a brand new life.  "My subordinate, I would like to congratulate you in advance on your family reunion!" The junior official was very good at talking. When he heard that Boyan's whole family had arrived in Huaiyang, he immediately smiled and handed over his hands with secular courtesy.  "We in Huaiyang have added a lot of interesting places in the past two years. You can take your wife and children to go shopping when you have time. I guarantee that you will forget all the troubles in an instant!" "Take your wife, you guys, you guys  "Bian, aren't women allowed to become monks?" Boyan was curious and couldn't help but ask casually.  In Dadu, he often heard rumors about the living customs of southern people.  Daughters have to go to the embroidery building to live alone from the age of eight. Daughters who get married are not allowed to show their families outside. Daughters who starve to death are a minor indiscretion but a big mistake. There are all kinds of weird things.  But today, the clerk suggested that he take his wife and children to hang out, which really surprised him.  Subconsciously, this habit of women and men being able to dress up and show off their horses casually on the long street belongs to the same people in the metropolis. How could it spread to the south of the Yellow River?   "What! My lord, who are you listening to?" Next, the clerk's answer stunned Boyan even more, "Women are not allowed to become monks. Which dynasty and generation are they from?"  Don't say that we don't have any rules in Huaiyang now. In the past, when men went out to do the labor, women still had to help with the farm work at home. How could a whole family not even be allowed to leave the house?  Aren't they all going to starve to death?!" After that, Boyan smiled and shook his head, "I know, this is just like the rumor spread by our teachers that you northerners only take three baths in your life.  It can't stand any scrutiny!" "That's true!" Boyan burst into laughter, and his surprise disappeared.  Although subconsciously, he still felt that what the other party said was the rules of ordinary people, and rich people should have more restraints on women.  But no matter what, there is probably no point in locking up women as prisoners.  That's not defending family tradition at all, that's committing suicide!  The two of them chatted and chatted, and soon became very familiar with each other.  Knowing that Boyan had just arrived, the junior official was very kind and told him some of Huaiyang's folk customs and official rules one by one.  Boyan thanked the junior official for his enthusiasm, and also told the other party with a smile some of the anecdotes, rumors, and irrelevant things he knew.  Time flew by unknowingly, and it was already approaching noon in a blink of an eye.  The clerk stood up and looked outside, just about to invite Boyan to have dinner with him.  Suddenly, there was a gentle knock on the door, "Excuse me, is Chief Boyan here? Mr. Zhang from the Military Intelligence Department heard that you returned with great honors, so he specially prepared a table in the city for you.  You take the wind and wash away the dust!¡±
