After about a cup of tea, the soldier came out and said respectfully: "The prince of the palace invites Li Langjun to meet him." ”

Li Luo thanked him, followed the soldiers into the government, passed through the hall several times, and was heavily guarded all the way, and came to the door of a fine house. The door on the door of the house is inscribed with three Chinese characters: "Qinglu Hall".

"Please Qiqi Mansion Jun, the guest will bring." The soldier said to the doorman at the door.

The doorman glanced at Li Luo and entered the house, and then came out: "Please come with me." ”

Li Luo followed the doorman into again, opened two curtains in a row, and entered an inner hall surrounded by sandalwood and heated people.

A graceful middle-aged man leaned on the soft couch behind the bookcase, this person was dressed in a loose brocade robe, took off his socks, had a small stove in his left hand, and a book in his right hand.

This doesn't look like an official who is busy with official business, but like a merry doctor who is studying in Yanju. However, between leisure and evacuation, it is quite majestic.

At this time, he was looking at Li Luo who came in with a playful expression. Of course, this person is the lord of Jianghua, the county guard Zheng Lu.

"Boy Li Luo, meet Zheng Fujun." Li Luo flicked his sleeves, and gave a long salute that was neither humble nor arrogant, and his movements were smooth and chic.

Li Langjun sat nearby. Tea on the left and right. Zheng Lu said lightly.

"Thank you, Mr. Fu." Li Luo knelt opposite the bookcase, his posture was neat and generous.

Zheng Lu nodded secretly. Master Zhihai is not only his initiating Buddhist teacher, but also has kindness with him. Zhihai's recommendation, of course, he must do it. Zhihaixin has made Li Luo's origin clear, and Zheng Lu is also a little curious about Li Luo.

At this time, seeing Li Luo's demeanor, temperament, and proper manners, he couldn't help but feel a little good.

"The teacher's handwritten letter has been read in this hall. Li Langjun cherished the peace of the people and set up his ambition to suppress bandits, which is indeed a model for future generations. Zheng Lu praised lightly.

"I don't dare to be the king of the government, and I am ashamed." Although Li Luo has seen the world, he also feels a little pressured in the face of Zheng Lu.

There is no way, people hold his life and death honor and disgrace.

Although Ganghwa Island has a population of only 100,000, it has been the capital of Goryeo after all. Therefore, the Jianghua county guard is a "low post and high match", and Zheng Lu is a third-grade officer, a whole grade higher than the average county guard, and he is a real official. That's why he doesn't call himself "honfu", but "hondo".

Such a high-ranking politician, with his treacherous mind, moody, unpredictable position, is a difficult person for small people to deal with.

"Speaking of which, this church also has a friendship with the head of your family, Judge Li. Don't you really want to go back to Inju now? We can write to Judge Li and tell you what to say. Zheng Lu said tentatively. The head of the Li family in Renzhou was judged from the second-rank soldier Cao, and the two were colleagues.

Li Luo bowed and said: "Xie Fujun is kind. The kid only wants to live in Jiangdu temporarily and serve for the king. ”

Zheng Lu said with a smile: "Even so, there is no need to be a Laoshizi village, the yamen is still lacking a clerical job that is not picked up by eight grades." You are not only from a family but also proficient in the Tibetan Mongolian language, so you are naturally a civil servant. ”

Li Luo said: "Xie Fujun is raised, but the kid is really determined to suppress the bandits." ”

Zheng Lu said: "Originally, the eight-rank inspection envoy was responsible for preparing for pirates, which was just right for you, but unfortunately now there is no defect." The water army has its advantages and disadvantages, but it is not very convenient. Even if you insist on it, you can only do Manichae Village first. "For the sake of Zhihai and the Li family, he is really willing to promote a talented young man like Li Luo.

Jianghua County has 4,000 officers and soldiers, of which 3,000 are the sailors of the naval army, and only 1,000 soldiers and horses commanded by the county guard Zheng Luneng . This belonged to the 1,000 officers and soldiers under the command of Zheng Lu, and there were two sea inspection envoys and two land inspection envoys, each of which led 200 officers and soldiers, and the total number of four patrol inspectors was only 800 soldiers. The rest are the 200 soldiers of the county guard.

As for Xiang Yong, it is not an officer or soldier at all. But if Xiang Yong can be used, it can also increase Zheng Lu's strength. Because Xiang Yong was in charge of the regimental training envoy, and the Jianghua regimental training envoy was concurrently served by Zheng Lu.

Now the world is restless, and the military attaché is arrogant. Although Zheng Lu is the lord of the three products and one county, it is difficult to suppress the water army to control Hong Qian.

"Don't be embarrassed, you can live in the capital, and the kid is already content." Li Luo said.

Zheng Lu nodded, "Then the hall will issue the appointment document." ”

"Xie Fujun lifted." Li Luo took out ten silver bottles from his arms, "This year is about to be closed, just a small gift, talk about adding some rewards for the Fujun, and it can be regarded as a New Year's greeting to the Fujun in advance, please don't shirk it, otherwise the kid will really be ashamed." ”

Zheng Lu glanced at the ten silver bottles, and a satisfied smile appeared in his eyes. Heart Dao, this Li Luo is really good. It stands to reason that since Zhihai recommended him, he is a sure official, and he doesn't need to break the bank. But he still sells 300 yuan, is good at making trade-offs, and is a sensible and smart person.

"You, you!" Zheng Lu smiled, but his tone was much closer. Before he could speak, the scholar next to him skillfully put away the ten silver bottles. It seems that such things are commonplace.

"With the king's care, the kid can let go of his hands and feet to serve the king." Li Luo said with a smile.

Zheng Lu said: "From today on, the 8,000 people of Mani Township will be entrusted to you, good life, good life!" ”

"Yes." Li Luo said solemnly.

"There are two things that this parish wants to tell you. First, don't make enemies with the Liu family. Although Mobeizhai also belongs to Mani Township, it is the territory of the Liu family, so don't interfere. ”

"The boy obeys."

"The second piece. Now pirates are rampant, and it is impossible to suppress and prevent it. As for the suppression of bandits, we must not be in a hurry and be greedy for success. If you don't do it well, you will ruin your life. The meaning of these words is actually to ask Li Luo not to take it too seriously, and not to believe that Xiang Yong can really suppress bandits.

Li Luo naturally obeyed orders. But in his heart, he said: It is you bastards and corrupt officials that make the pirates arrogant.

"In addition, the Duzhai Institute can only withhold 400 yuan of tax revenue every year, which is too much for the township Yong. But as it has always been, you don't have to be reluctantly full, and if you don't make a big mistake, you're meritorious. Zheng Lu said, writing down the appointment document with a pen and stamping it with the seal of the county guard.

After receiving the appointment paperwork, Li Luo breathed a sigh of relief. The official position of Jiupin Duzhai is finally in hand.

"100,000 people have received the mercy and grace of the king, and the lord of the government has every opportunity, and please combine work and rest to take care of your noble body. The lower official didn't dare to bother any more, so he retired. Li Luo proposed to retire at the right time, and naturally replaced "boy" with "lower official".

"Wait. Wait for this hall to write another warrant, and teach you to go to the arsenal and take five bows, 100 feather arrows, 20 straight knives, and 30 spears. Zheng Lu brushed down the next warrant and handed it to Li Luo.

This bit of weapons seems to be very few, only enough to equip a few dozen people. But Zheng Lu is already generous enough, and the other officials have nothing at all, and they all rely on self-raising weapons.

Of course, these weapons are public property, and they are not Zheng Lu's private property, and he will not suffer a loss if he takes them out for personal favors. Because he knows very well that Li Luo will have good filial piety in the future, and Li Luo can be regarded as his person.

"Xiaguan thanks to the cultivation of the prince!" Li Luo didn't expect Zheng Lu to approve a batch of weapons for him, which was really unexpected.

Li Luo said goodbye to Zheng Lu, and went to the office with a clerk to go through the formalities of serving and receive the official uniform and seal.

Then, Li Luo returned to the noodle shop where Cui Xiuning and the others were resting, explained the matter, and asked everyone to go to the arsenal to get weapons together.

Hearing that there were still weapons to receive, Dulie Utu and the others were suddenly a little excited.

How long has it been since you touched a weapon? It's been almost ten years.
