Wang Chengen and Yan Kuan each paid a deposit, and immediately left the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce sales store and went back to recruit people. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When Wang Chengen rushed back to the Wang family's mansion, he happened to see his eldest brother Wang Chengli, as well as several uncles of the Wang family, who had gathered in the lobby of the Wang family's mansion in a rare manner, and seemed to be discussing something important.

"Cheng'en, I have something to tell you. As soon as the eldest brother Wang Chengli saw Wang Chengen, he immediately motioned for Wang Chengen to stay, and asked him to walk in front of everyone, and then said to him.

At this moment, Wang Chengen was even more sure that the atmosphere of the mansion was very wrong! He secretly looked around at everyone in the hall,

I found that almost everyone's expressions were very serious, and there was even some strange meaning in the eyes of many people?!

Wang Chengen secretly felt inappropriate in his heart, as if something unfavorable to him was going to happen.

However, when everyone gathered, he couldn't just shirk and leave, so he could only ask first: "Big brother, what's the matter with you?"

"Today, I invite all the uncles of the Wang family to come over and ask them to witness the separation of our two brothers. Wang Chengli didn't say half a polite word, and said straightforwardly.

As soon as these words fell, Wang Chengen was taken aback! Wang Chengen couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He opened his mouth in astonishment, trying to say something, but was so startled that it seemed to lose his voice. Then, Wang Chengen looked left and right, thinking that who would explain anything to him, or which elder would tell him, however, it backfired, although almost everyone was looking at him, but no one had the intention of talking to him, as if they were just waiting for him to speak.

Helpless and shocked, Wang Chengen looked at his eldest brother Wang Chengli again and asked, "Big brother, you want to break up with me?"

I have to say, it was a bolt from the blue. Wang Chengen and eldest brother Wang Chengli, although they live separately and do their own things when they become adults, it does not mean that the two are emotionally cracked, or that there is any conflict, but it is just that people have grown up, and naturally they are busy and have their own lives, nothing more.

Therefore, for Wang Chengen, since he joined the local council of Tai'an City and became one of the councilors, although he rarely stayed at home, he did not give up the family at all because of this, so it was really strange that the eldest brother Wang Chengli suddenly said that he wanted to split up with him!

But Wang Chengen didn't have to guess, Wang Chengli immediately gave the reason, and still said with a serious face: "Since you have chosen to become a member of the Xinghua Kingdom, this determines that you must be separated from your family." Otherwise, your involvement with Xinghua Kingdom will be very dangerous to our royal family. ”

Wang Chengen saw the expression on Wang Chengli's face, and gradually became indifferent, and slowly began to understand what the eldest brother's words meant. Obviously, the eldest brother spoke on behalf of the Wang family, and for the sake of the family's interests, he had to cut off all the factors that were unfavorable to the family.

Although Tai'an City has been placed under the jurisdiction of the Xinghua Empire, outside the realm, it is still under the rule of the Xia Kingdom! Who can guarantee that one day the Xia Kingdom will regain the ruling power of Tai'an City? If there really is such a day, isn't Wang Chengen's actions in serving the Xinghua Empire today exactly the practice of putting the family in danger? Therefore, Wang Chengli's open separation from him is also to protect the family.

Wang Chengen felt a sense of sorrow in his heart, it was obvious that the eldest brother was going to sacrifice his family to protect the family. When Wang Chengen thought of this, he couldn't help but feel speechless, but then he made a secret decision in his heart.

Since everything is clear, everyone can naturally open the skylight and speak brightly, not to mention, everyone in the family is present, in front of everyone, Wang Chengen has to make it clear. Therefore, he raised his head, faced the eldest brother, and said calmly: "Big brother, if you haven't forgotten, it was actually you who asked me to take the lead in the first place. To put it simply, you pushed me to power. The current situation is caused by you. But today you also proposed that my appointment as a councillor is harmful to the family? Which of your words do you make me believe? However, since everyone in the family is here today, and if you are all on the same page, then it is useless for me to say anything alone. If you want to divide the family, you can do it, but I demand at least 100 percent justice! I should get a share, and I can't miss it at all. ”

Wang Chengen's words, speaking of which, already have a somewhat decisive meaning.

But in fact, this is very normal, and this is really a matter of retort for Wang Chengen! I think he had no intention of getting involved in politics at the beginning, but it was also at the request of his eldest brother Wang Chengli, asking him to take into account the interests of the family and preserve the starting point of the family, so that he made the move to join the Tai'an City Council of the Xinghua Empire, but now, this has become his method of harming the family?

When I went home today, hearing such words was a great psychological harm to Wang Chengen. In this case, he doesn't want to care about anything anymore, but he can really consider that in the future, he will not harm anyone's interests, nor will he become someone else's pawn-like role, and he will no longer belong to the family, but at least he can get back a piece of freedom and ease.

"Do you know that the Wang Shi of Yangcheng has just defeated the Xinghua Army. The recovery of Tai'an City is just around the corner, do you want the Wang family's property to be finished with you? It's better for you to take less, if something really happens, your wife and children will always have a way to survive with my help. Wang Chengli persuaded bitterly.

"What you've done, I can't see you doing it. You want a split family, obviously not wanting to take care of your nephew. I don't believe in a big brother who pushes his own brother. Wang Chengen said.

When Wang Chengli heard this, as if his mind had been exposed, he was very annoyed, and said: "I am the head of the Wang family, and I am the master of this family!"

Wang Chengen said with a smile: "In the lobby, so many uncles testify, I only need my fair share, is it wrong?"

"Cheng'en, why should you bother? The continuation of the family is the most important thing. We guarantee the safety of your wife and children!" said an uncle.

Wang Chengli said even more impatiently: "The grain and oil shop on the main street is yours, and it is enough for your family." After Jiangzhou is recovered, the Wang family promises to do their best to keep your wife and children. ”

"Not counting the main business of the family, my father left us two brothers fifteen shops, five manors, and five hundred acres of manor land, you actually plan to swallow them all, your appetite is too big. Wang Chengen suddenly said with a hideous face: "I only know that Tai'an City is Tai'an City under Xinghua Kingdom, and I am a councilor of Xinghua Kingdom." Believe it or not, with one finger, I can uproot the Wang family! You don't have to wait for the future, you can do it now!"

"Presumptuous!" Wang Chengli said angrily.

Wang Chengen turned around and left, he didn't want to talk nonsense with them. As long as he formed his own escort team, he would have his own armed forces, and he would not be afraid that Wang Chengli would be greedy for his own property when the time came.

In fact, it was Wang Chengli who went too far. Although Wang Chengen did not divide his family after starting a family, Wang Chengen directly managed no less than ten shops, as well as hundreds of acres of fertile land in a manor, and his life was not bad. Now Wang Chengli wants to rely on the so-called family righteousness in a few casual words, and he is going to take it all, which cannot but make Wang Chengen angry.

Wang Chengen left the lobby, let one of his relatives go to inform his wife and children, and go to the manor to get together, and then, he left the Wang family compound with an entourage. Wang Chengen had run the manor for ten years and had a group of obedient villagers, so he had to form an escort team before Wang Chengli sent people to loot the manor. With the escort team, Wang Chengen wants to take a look, who dares to make a move on him!

On the other hand, Yan Kuan's recruitment road is much smoother than Wang Chengen's. Yan Kuan is the richest person among all the local councillors. Yan Kuan found his housekeeper and account room, put down two tables on the central street of Tai'an City, erected a cloth flag to recruit guards, and recruited guards with ten yuan of gold yuan or a bag of twenty catties of rice for settling-in expenses. Yan Kuan promised the members of the escort team three meals, full care, and a monthly salary. To demand is to obey orders.

On Central Street, many poor children enthusiastically signed up to participate. Because of the large number of participants, in less than an hour, Yan Kuan recruited the escort team. In addition to the fifty armed guards, Yan Kuan also recruited more clerks for his shop by the way.

Then, the personal information of the guards was registered, and the people of the escort team arrived at the delivery warehouse designated by the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce.

The delivery place designated by the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce is actually the barracks of the Xinghua Army in Tai'an City.

Yan Kuan was not surprised by this, but felt more at ease. This shows that the formation of the escort team was recognized by the Xinghua Army. With the approval of the army, Yan Kuan did not have to worry that the escort team would be suppressed by the army if they carried weapons on the streets. Now, Yan Kuan has identified with the identity of the Xinghua State Councilor, and he wants to try his best to earn a credit for himself. Even if the Xinghua army was defeated, Yan Kuan would be able to retreat to Yunzhou.

Xiao Zhang of the Xinghua Chamber of Commerce was already waiting for Yan Kuan. He saw Yan Kuan coming over and greeted him.

"Councilor Yan, the weapons and equipment you want are ready. In addition to that, we also sent a batch of uniforms to your escorts. Xiao Zhang smiled slightly, and said: "I found that your escort team doesn't seem to understand anything, do you want to let them enter the barracks for a few days of training? The Xinghua Army will specially select officers to conduct simple training for the escort team, so that they can understand some simple orders." ”

Hearing this, Yan Kuan cautiously asked, "What are the conditions, and how much does it cost?"

When Xiao Zhang heard this, he laughed and said, "Don't worry, there are no conditions, and you don't need money." After all, the Escort Force is following your parliamentarians, and to some extent, it can be regarded as serving the country. The only thing that takes time is that the Xinghua Army has to conduct closed training. Three short-term training sessions, three days, five days, seven days. ”

"What is the difference between the three training courses? I have a task to resettle the refugees, and I am afraid I don't have much time. Yan Kuan asked. Yan Kuan knew that there were no conditions, and he didn't have to pay money, so his heart was relieved.

"It's no different, three days of learning, and the extra few days are more training to reinforce the skills that the guards have learned. Xiao Zhang said.

"Then I chose a three-day short training course. Yan Kuandao.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you. Also, the instructor in the army, I hope you will also participate in the training. If you don't attend training, appoint two henchmen you trust, and the instructor will teach them to give orders!"

"Okay, I understand!" Yan Kuan nodded, thinking carefully about the person he trusted.

A quarter of an hour later, the members of Yan Kuan's escort team received weapons and equipment, as well as a set of escort uniforms for each person, the uniforms refer to the Xinghua army uniform, but there is no military cap, no epaulettes, and the left arm sleeve of the escort team uniform is sewn with the word "Yan Kuan", and the word "escort" is sewn on the right arm to show that they are members of the Yan Kuan Guard.

Yan Kuan was overjoyed when he saw this escort uniform. This shows that the escort is his personal escort.

"We only give away one set of uniforms for the escort team, if Councilor Yan still wants to prepare a set for each team member, you can customize it according to the style. In addition, the Xinghua Army hopes that when you are on a mission outside the city, you will try to wear a guard system to make it easier to identify. Xiao Zhang said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand!" Yan Kuan said.

After Yan Kuan gave a lecture to the escort team, he left his two henchmen behind, and then left, waiting for three days to come and collect his escort team.

Half a day later, Wang Chengen also took the escort team composed of his own Zhuang Ding, and he also chose a three-day training class.

Because Taean Castle is located on the front line, the director of the Taean Administrative Bureau, Fei Luomon, is the de facto head of the civil administration of Taean Castle, and he also controls the civil affairs of the entire Taean region, so he is a direct administrative district that reports directly to the cabinet on the implementation of the policy.

Ferromon is very careful and organized. Every three days, Ferromon combined some of the problems he encountered in the course of his administration during the three days and reported them to the cabinet by telegram.

The cabinet minister will find someone to study the situation in Taean City and make suggestions to Feromon to decide how to deal with it.

In order to keep the emperor informed, Prime Minister Eli sent a report to the emperor before replying to Feromon.

This allowed cabinet ministers such as Emperor Yi Xingchen and Eli to keep an eye on the changes in the battlefield in Jiangzhou.

"Your Majesty, can we trust the local councillors of Tai'an City? If we let them form a convoy, I always feel that they will not be easily loyal to us, and may stab us in the back at any time. Eli was a little worried about the changes in Taean City.

Yi Xingchen smiled, feeling very relaxed, and said, "Our Xinghua Kingdom is a compatible big country. We don't need the people to worship the emperor, or to believe in the emperor unconditionally. As long as they recognize themselves as citizens of the country and are willing to abide by the laws of the country, we will accept them. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" said Eli and other cabinet ministers.

Yi Xingchen recalled the time when the country was founded at the beginning, and said with a smile: "Now the number of remnants of the old country in the empire is extremely low. Our empire is not the home of one of our people, but the home of all the people. ”
