The capital city of Yanzhou.

This time, Liu Juntao and Li Qianhu rushed here together, accompanied by a large cart of gifts.

In addition to a few large jars of Liu's two pot heads, there are a lot of good things, not to mention gold and silver, and there are also a lot of silk and satin.

The reason why Liu Juntao brought these heavy gifts was not only to thank Commander Lei for his great efforts in serving as the head of the Yanzhou Mansion's militia group, but also because of his own plans.

Now that the Yushan Military Bureau has been expanded and recruited several times, the scale and manpower have reached the limit, and the towns around Yushan Town can no longer recruit decent craftsmen, and there is no suitable land for the Yushan Military Bureau to expand.

This directly led to the stagnation of the output of the Yushan Military Warfare Bureau, although it can still meet the needs of the Yushan Town Guards for the time being, but Liu Juntao can already foresee that in the near future, the Escort Corps will be due to the insufficient output of the Yushan Military Warfare Bureau, and there will be a shortage of troops!

Liu Juntao always firmly believes that taking precautions is an effective means of development and growth!

Therefore, this time, Liu Juntao and Li Qianhu rushed to Yanzhou Mansion together, in addition to reporting on their work, they also wanted to apply to Commander Lei for two things:

One of them is that Liu Juntao wants to set the place where the militia is stationed in Dongping Prefecture!

Dongpingzhou is located in the south of Anshan Town, north of Yanzhou Mansion and Qufu County, which can not only continue to rely on Yushan Town and other places to develop its strength, but also keep in touch with Ren Chengwei and Confucius nearby, and maintain the independence of Yushan Town to avoid being controlled by Ren Chengwei and Confucius!

Second, Liu Juntao wanted to negotiate with Commander Lei on the number of troops of the militia group, and at the same time wanted to establish another workshop in Dongpingzhou as a branch of the Yushan Military Bureau, specializing in building armor, long knives and other military equipment. At that time, the Yushan Military War Bureau will be able to specially build the orthodox nine-year-style bird gun and the orthodox twelve-year-style earth-shaking thunder.

These two things are impossible to achieve by taking out any of them, after all, Liu Juntao is only the general training officer of the militia group, not the guards and battalion soldiers. Logically speaking, it is impossible for Commander Lei to agree.

But Liu Juntao is still somewhat sure that it can be negotiated.

First, now Commander Lei and Liu Juntao are allies, and it is not good for Liu Juntao to directly refuse the things he proposed, not to mention that Liu Juntao also prepared a heavy gift for Commander Lei!

Moreover, Liu Juntao also has a backhand, which can make Commander Lei reluctant to refuse himself!

At this time, Liu Juntao walked on the street with twenty guards, and Li Qianhu walked on the side with a few subordinates, constantly introducing the scenery on the street to Liu Juntao and others.

It didn't take long for everyone to come to the commander's yamen.

In the flower hall, Ren Chengwei commanded Lei Bai to set down the refreshments, and talked and laughed with Liu Juntao and Li Qianhu.

"Mr. Liu Lian, we will be colleagues in the future, and I, the commander, will still rely on you and my brothers to get the merits!"

Liu Juntao naturally knew that this was Commander Lei reminding himself, so he clenched his fists and said: "Please rest assured, with me and my brothers here, Yanzhou Mansion will be as stable as Mount Tai!" Even if it's a little trouble, it's a military feat sent to the door for adults! ”

"Good!"

Commander Rapo immediately laughed when he heard this, and said; "With Juntao's words, then I can sit back and relax!"

Immediately, the commander Lei Bo and Liu Juntao talked, and they became closer, and Li Qianhu also interjected two sentences from time to time, and the three of them talked happily.

At this time, Liu Juntao clenched his fists and said: "My lord, this time I will take office, do you think how many people are needed?" Where is it better to be stationed? ”

The commander made Lei Bai snort when he heard this, and said, "This should be adapted to local conditions!" Do you have any suggestions? ”

Liu Juntao said with a smile: "Four thousand people, how about it?" ”

"Good!"

The number of 4,000 people is still within the bottom line of the commander Lei Bo, after all, how many people and horses there are in the Yushan Town Guard, the commander Lei Bo roughly knows in his heart, so he didn't dwell too much on this issue, and directly agreed.

"What do you suggest about the location of the station?"

"Dongpingzhou! I don't know what adults think? ”

"Dongpingzhou?"

Hearing this, the commander Lei Bo glanced at Li Qianhu, and couldn't help but hesitate a little in his heart.

Li Qianhu thought for a while and said, "Mr. Liu Lian, is this Dongpingzhou far away from Ren Chengwei?" What do you think of Wenshang County, or Ningyang County? ”

Liu Juntao smiled and said: "My lord, Lord Li, my brothers are basically sons of Yushan Town, Wenshang County and Ningyang County are too far away from home, which will affect the morale of the army, I think it is better to Dongping Prefecture, and it is not too far from this Yanzhou capital city." ”

The commander Lei Bo and Li Qianhu saw that Liu Juntao insisted on his opinion, so they didn't insist any longer, after all, the two didn't even interfere too much with the forces of the militia group, so there was no need to insist on anything in this stationing place, as long as Liu Juntao didn't nest in Yushan Town and didn't come out!

"Good! It's Dongpingzhou! ”

The commander Lei Bo said with a smile: "Tomorrow, I will send a document to Dongping Prefecture, and when the new hundred households in Dongping Prefecture prepare the office for Jun Tao, Jun Tao can lead his troops to take office!" ”

"Thank you, sir!"

After Liu Juntao saluted, he continued: "It's just that Juntao has one more thing here, and he needs the help of adults. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the commander made Lei Bo a little unhappy, and his brows furrowed slightly.

After all, the commander Lei Bo has already promised Liu Juntao two things: the number of troops and the location of the station, and now Liu Juntao is going to propose something, isn't it a bit of an inch?

At this time, Li Qianhu wasted no time in leaning into the ear of the commander Lei Bo and whispered something, only to see the commander Lei Bo asked in surprise: "Is this true?" ”

"It's true!"

After receiving an affirmative reply, the commander made Lei Bo immediately smile and said: "Jun Tao is really polite, he has prepared so many gifts for me, next time it can't be like this!" We are gentlemen's friends, as light as water, as light as water! Jun Tao said, what else is going on? ”

Before coming to the commanding envoy's yamen, Liu Juntao specially told Li Qianhu not to say the number of gifts at the beginning, but to wait until the critical time, for which Liu Juntao also gave Li Qianhu a generous gift.

At this time, Li Qianhu used people's money to eliminate disasters for others, and it can be regarded as not taking Liu Juntao's gift in vain.

Liu Juntao smiled slightly and said: "My lord, my brothers have a large number, and the military equipment in my hands also needs to be repaired on weekdays, so I want to build an ordnance station in Dongping Prefecture, and I want to ask my lord to support some craftsmen." ”

"This ......"

Speaking of this, the commander made Lei Bo still hesitate, after all, there are not many craftsmen in his hands, and this is also a bit taboo, so he groaned.

Liu Juntao continued: "My lord, if my brothers are not well prepared, how can they guard the place? How to be driven by adults? Adult, please do it. ”

In fact, Liu Juntao already has the Yushan Military War Bureau in his hands, and the command of this matter makes Lei Bo and Li Qianhu know that now Liu Juntao is going to prepare for a new military war bureau, which is nothing more than wanting to further develop his power.

Just when the commander Lei Bo and Li Qianhu were silent, Liu Juntao continued: "My lord, although the armory station I am going to build is in Dongping Prefecture and is exclusively for the use of my militia group, I naturally will not let my lord suffer. I was really uneasy when I heard that my lord's soldiers had lost their soldiers, and that the armory of the city guard was already unusable. I don't think it's better than this, after this armory is built, I will send 200 fine blades to adults every month, how about it? ”

Hearing this, the commander Lei Bo was also very useful in his heart, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I will transfer twenty craftsmen from the Ordnance Station of the City Guard to you. It's just that the money and food needed for the construction of the Dongpingzhou Ordnance Institute need to be raised by Juntao himself! ”

"Okay, no problem! Then Jun Tao is here to thank you! ”

At this time, the big thing was decided, and the three of them began to talk and laugh again.

That night, the commander made Lei Bai even set up a family banquet, drank with Liu Juntao and Li Qianhu, and dispersed happily.
