When he arrived at the Zhenwu Town Inn Station, it was already dark. So many people came to stay overnight, and the inn was in a hurry. Although it was his own business, Zhao Bing was not good at using force. After all, he came out secretly this time and was not suitable to expose his identity. Moreover, there were too many people in the inn, which was easy to expose his identity. If there was no female relatives to accompany him, he wanted to find a place to camp in the wild. However, Wang Yu was not in a good mood. If she couldn't rest well, she might not be able to hold on tomorrow, even if there was a quiet room for the two of them to rest overnight.

Zhao Bing saw that Zhenwu Posthouse is not small, and is also divided into front and back yards. The main building of the front yard is the hall, the front yard is the entrance of the front yard, and the left and right are two sides. The front yard is a place for reception, communication, transportation and other affairs; the back yard is where guests stay, and its main building is the upper hall, surrounded by other halls. The courtyard is also a corridor-style layout, which can be seen that the corridor surrounds the entire guest hall, which can hide the wind and rain. The postmaster has his own separate house, which is separate from the residence of the postmasters. However, the postmaster is a low-key official of the last rank, so he will naturally be extravagant.

There are more than a hundred people in the inn, and their residences should also occupy a certain area. At the same time, considering that the innkeeper may rush to the inn at any time, the courtyard of the innkeeper’s residence is arranged near the gate; in order to solve the inconvenience of frequent horses, the stable is arranged next to the gate; in order to solve the convenience of transferring materials, the warehouse does not go deep into the inn, but is arranged next to the stable; considering that the kitchen and grain warehouse are located close to the place where guests have a banquet, this courtyard is arranged next to the backyard, which is also in line with the architectural layout of "the inner and outer stables, the high warehouse and the deep warehouse".

At the same time, in order to beautify the landscape of the post and provide a cool environment for travelers, the post house also has a garden where you can drill a pond and plant trees. It is generally located at the back and side of the backyard, which is convenient for guests to visit. There is a post house between the backyard and the tour garden, so that guests can enjoy the view. A rammed earth wall is built outside the entire post house, and another door is set up directly opposite the front yard entrance to facilitate entry and exit of cars and horses.

"Young Master, the official secretary said that the customer is full now, and it is really difficult to free up so many rooms!" Tan Fei first entered the room, but was told that there was no room available. However, he also knew the emperor's temper and was unwilling to bully others, so he could only bring it back to the report.

"Young Master, the war has been urgent recently, and officials have been in constant contact. The messenger is constantly going on day and night. There are several guest houses to keep for the messenger." The postmaster stepped forward and said with a smile. But he was still a little surprised when he saw it. These soldiers looked good, and they were all dark horses. The young master in front of him looked even more extraordinary. Maybe he was the young master of a general, but he still declined.

"Oh, it's getting late now, so it's okay for us to sleep in the open. But there are female family members who are walking with us. There are many inconveniences. Please give me some convenience to squeeze out a room." Zhao Bing replied after saying, "Besides, our horses are galloping all the way, and we still need to rush to the road tomorrow, so we need to add some grass."

"Young Master, it's not that the officials are not incompatible with human nature, but that they are really in a dilemma. Besides, the court has already set regulations that the cost required for large troops is supplied by local government offices, and there is no burden on the post station along the way. Moreover, there is no reserve of so many fodder in small places. You can stay in the county." The postmaster said again.

"It's better to be more comfortable. It's still ten miles away from the county, so it's too time-consuming to travel!" Tan Fei also felt disappointed and said to the little emperor. Thinking about it, the little emperor was also exempted from being exempted from being exempted from the officials in the court, but he said nice things to a last-place official, which was not funny.

"This... the rules are like this, please don't make things difficult for the officials!" The postmaster also bowed again.

"Oh, is there this?" Zhao Bing suddenly remembered something, took out a jade pendant that was only the size of a thumb from his pocket and handed it to him.

"Ah?!" Yicheng's face changed, took the test with both hands, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I don't know if I don't know that the lord has arrived, and I hope to atone for my sins!"

"Get up, why bother to do this? I just need a clean room!" Zhao Bing was startled, but Tan Fei also stepped forward and blocked him. Seeing that he had no malice, he helped him up and said.

"Lord, let alone having a room, even if you want a small head, you will also offer it with both hands. I didn't expect that the small one would have such a good fate, so that the small one would meet..." Yi Cheng said incoherently.

"What are you doing, I..." Zhao Bing felt a little at a loss when he saw Qi's appearance.

"The head of the army has already explained that the lord who holds this jade pendant is here. No matter what you want, you must provide it unconditionally, including this little head!" Yi Cheng gestured around his neck, and returned the jade pendant with both hands, saying respectfully.

"I have urgent matters to do this time. It is not easy to disclose my identity. Please find a secluded place!" Zhao Bing took the jade pendant and said with a respect.

"The lord's tribute, the young one can't bear it!" The official secretary hurriedly waved his hands and said, "The young one can arrange such small things!"

"The rules must be followed, there is no need to make things difficult!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

He recalled that this jade pendant was given to him when he was still in Qiongzhou. Zhuang Shilin said that as long as the jade pendant was marked with the figure on the back of the jade pendant, whether it was an inn, restaurant, shop, or silver building, he would be satisfied with money and goods when he brought it in, and would never be a joke. However, he did not take it seriously, and he had never used it. It was just because the jade was delicate and lubricated and often played with it. Today, he saw the figures on the jade pendant painted around the plaque of the inn, and remembered this matter, but he didn't expect it to come in handy.

"The lord's affairs are bigger than the sky. Even if the small one is guilty, it is only a matter of duty!" The postmaster said more respectfully, "But the small one has not told lies, but the postmaster is full, but there is no way. It's just that the lord has to walk a few more steps."

"It's okay, I only stay for one night and go tomorrow morning. It's better to be simple than sleeping in the open!" Zhao Bing waved his hand. But he woke up, and Zhuang Shilin was in charge of his own business, and the jade pendant was the token, the wavy pattern on the back was the emblem of his own industry, and the pattern on the front was the mark that indicated his identity.

He thought that Zhuang Shilin had really put a lot of effort into himself. He knew that he liked to run away privately, liked money, and rarely brought money, so he would inevitably make trouble when he went out, so he got him this "VIP card". As long as the matter was revealed, he could eat and drink for free, and he could withdraw money and goods at any time, and there was no limit. Anyway, the final account should be kept on his head. The operating rights of the inn have been monopolized by Zhao Bing, so it is naturally his property. So the inn is not wrong to say that he calls his lord.

Speaking of the fact that Zhao Bing took over the post office system, he was helpless. This was equivalent to the modern postal and military communication system, and its importance was unnecessary. However, this was also an extremely expensive thing. It was managed by the Ministry of War, but local wealthy households were required to serve. They not only had to maintain the post office, but also provided horses and provide food and accommodation for officials. However, the imperial court allocated very little. Generally, after working for a few years, they changed from a high-quality household to a low-quality household.

After Zhao Bing took over, he implemented a system of raising restaurants by business and carrying out diversified operations. The inn not only provided food and accommodation for officials, but also provided services for business and travel, providing transportation for cars and horses, and transporting goods. He also opened passenger services between prefectures and counties, and there were fixed "shuttle buses" sent to subordinate counties every day. In theory, a person could take a shuttle bus to every county under the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, Zhao Bing will not let go of the delivery service, but this system is still divided into two parts: military and civilians. Needless to say, this part is still under the management of the Ministry of War, and the post soldiers are responsible for the delivery. However, the post soldiers have to provide them with free food, accommodation and horses; civilians are responsible for the post soldiers. They adopt the modern post management model and take advantage of the advantages of post stations spreading everywhere to set up stations to send and receive letters and small items for the people. Of course, these are all charged.

With the dual-purpose business philosophy of military and civilians, the business of the station has now turned losses into profits, earning Zhao Bing a considerable profit. Of course, this system has also installed many spies from the Affairs Bureau, which can obtain information from various places. This is actually a matter of multiple goals. The government can save a lot of money and ensure the normal operation of the post transmission system, and the people can also save the suffering of refusal. To put it shamelessly, it has solved the employment of a large number of people, facilitated the people and travel, and made contributions to the stability of the country. It can also be regarded as a move that benefits the country and the people.

The postmaster led Zhao Bing and his group to the back door of the inn, and he discovered that there was another surround building here, which was the style commonly used in the Qiongzhou Inn. At that time, the situation was unstable, and the Li people often intercepted and killed merchants and attacked the inn, so they built the inn into a surround building. When encountering an attack, as long as the gate was closed, it would be difficult for bandits to enter, while the postmaster soldiers could guard the building and wait for rescue.

"Lord, the lord thought that the enemy might infiltrate and attack the enemy troops and intercept the postmen's soldiers, so he built a siege building in the old postmen's capital in Qiongzhou. Once things are urgent, you can come in and avoid it for a while. On weekdays, only postmen's guards are guarded, and they will only be used when the teleportation is urgent, so that they can rest here!" The postmen's chief of course knew who the person carrying the top token was, but he didn't say it clearly, so he could only pretend to be confused and call him the lord. Seeing his doubts, he quickly explained.

"Not bad, but is it convenient for us to live here?" Zhao Bing nodded.

"Why is there any inconvenience? It's very pure and the place is large. All the supplies are all available. If it's small, it makes people clean up and cook immediately." The official secretary waved his hands repeatedly.

Then the postmaster invited the young emperor into the lobby, personally served to wash and drink tea for a while, and then picked the honest postmaster to clean the room, choose vegetables, wash rice and prepare rice. He led the war horse into the stable to fetch water and drink horses, and add horse ingredients. He heard that some women were uncomfortable, so he sent two women to serve him, searching the doctor for the pulse and boiling medicine, and he was very busy. Zhao Bing felt embarrassed and told him to have rice, meat and hot soup to fill his stomach. There was no need to be extravagant in the food, nor to have wine.

The postmaster agreed, but did not dare to neglect the slightest. The postmaster also serves food on weekdays, and there are good chefs, so they serve here first. But suddenly there were so many people coming, which was not enough, so they ordered people to buy it quickly. And the few rooms were naturally reserved for the emperor to live in. He also supervised the cleaning and replaced it with a new bedding, busy inside and out.

Tan Fei had no time to rest. He first arranged a guard, set up a guard post in the stables, carriages and kitchens, and personally led people to check inside and outside the building. There were many rooms here, so they could accommodate them. After the inspection, they assigned residences and sent a guard post outside the emperor's room. No idle people could enter.

Although time was rushed and there was an emperor's oral order, the postmaster gathered four dishes and one soup to deliver. Of course, the emperor's meal was made by the chef at the kitchen, so the others could only make up for it. However, there was no shortage of fish and meat, and enough food. Everyone had been running around for a day and had been hungry, so naturally there was nothing dissatisfied. This was a hundred times better than sleeping in the open.

After dinner, Zhao Bing went to the room to see Wang Yu. His condition was better than that in the morning. He also ate some food in the evening and drank medicine. He was a little depressed, with tears on his face. It was obvious that he had just cried. When he saw the little emperor coming in, he quickly stood up to salute.

"Don't be too polite, just lie down!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and told him not to get up, but Wang Yu still sat up. Li Sanniang leaned on the quilt behind him, letting her half-lying to speak.

"Celebrity Chen thought it had dragged down the official family just now, so she cried, but she is still very upset now!" Li Sanniang moved a stool and let the little emperor sit down and smiled.

"Haha, you, a lady of a wealthy man in the deep home, have already made me admire you. I think you will be clamoring to go back halfway through the boat!" Zhao Bing said with a smile.

"It's useless. I used to think that marching and fighting is just a matter of mercy. The emperor can do it, and I can do it. If I were born as a man, I would definitely be able to fight on the battlefield, but I didn't know that it was so hard!" Wang Yu said, pouting and crying.

"It's not your fault. I'll blame those sour scholars. War is not as magnificent, magnificent, and full of poetry and painting as mentioned in his poems. How could the hardships and cruelty be imagined in the house?" Zhao Bing said with a smile on his nose.

"After all, I am useless. Sister Shufei is not like me, and I still need someone to take care of her along the way!" Wang Yu looked at Li Sanniang and said with a dim expression.

"I understand this time. I will see if you want to be a military supervisor for me in the future!" Zhao Bing patted Qi on the shoulder and quipped.

"Of course, I also need it. When I go back, I practice riding a horse with Concubine Shu. At that time, the official family couldn't even get rid of me!" Wang Yu said unconvincedly after hearing this.

"The official family, I saw that the postmaster refused to accept us at first, so why did the official family change his attitude and become extremely attentive when he saw one thing?" Seeing that he turned his worries into joy, Li Sanniang changed the subject and expressed her questions.

"Did the official family use their power to suppress others and reveal their identity?" Wang Yu also interrupted.
