Chapter Twenty-Six: The Giant Panda is Safe and Sound

After eating something briefly, he accompanied Xiao Su to the garden in the backyard for a walk, and walked to a bamboo forest not far away, and suddenly saw something shaking inside, Lin Feng pulled Xiao Su behind him, looked at it and shouted: "What kind of person is sneaky!" ”

"Flutter... There was a sneering sound from behind him, and then Xiao Yun knocked on Lin Feng's back and laughed: "Haha, I'm laughing to death!" Then he smiled at the bamboo forest and shouted, "Pingping, An'an." Come out! ”

Then something unexpected happened to Lin Feng, and within a few seconds, two chubby pandas crawled out of the bamboo forest! Crawling over, a panda still holding half a piece of bamboo in its hand.

Xiaojun walked in front of Lin Feng, bent down and stretched out his hand to the one holding half of the bamboo and said, "Pingping, come... I saw that Pingping actually stretched out his left hand to cover half of his face and made a shyness gesture, and then handed the bamboo in his right hand to Xiaojun's hand. Lin Feng, who was standing on the side, was stunned, where did these two national treasures come from.

Xiao Yun stretched out his left hand and patted Pingping's big fat head and said, "Don't bully An An in the future!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and handed the bamboo to An An on the side. After An An took the bamboo, he took two steps forward to Xiao Su's side, and rubbed Xiao Su a few times with its chubby body.

Xiaojun also patted its head, then waved at the two pandas and smiled: "Okay, let's go back and play!" As if they could understand, the two pandas clumsily turned their fat bodies and returned to the bamboo forest step by step.

Xiao Yun turned his head, looked at the stunned Lin Feng on the side with a smile and asked, "How is it?" Pingping and An An are cute, right? ”

Lin Feng nodded subconsciously, and then asked suspiciously, "I said, where did you find these two living treasures back?" ”

Xiao Yun pressed his index finger to his chin and thought for a moment and replied: "It's the elder brother of Eunuch Tian, Chen Jingxuan, the envoy of Jiannan Xichuan Festival, who sent it at the wedding, because you were in too much of a hurry at that time, so you don't know!" But Ping Ping and An An are still quite cute! ”

After hearing this, Lin Feng nodded, then raised his head to look at Xiao Su and asked, "Did you give this name?" ”

"Yes! What's wrong? Peace and security, what a good name! Don't you think it's good? Xiao Yun looked at Lin Feng a little provocatively and asked.

"No, no, good! Exceptional! Lin Feng scratched his head in embarrassment and replied. I walked with Xiaojun for a while, and by the way, I learned about the situation of coming in, and then went to the front hall together.

When they arrived at the front hall, Li Xiaofeng, Liu Yingjie, and Chen Yueze were all drinking tea there. After seeing them come in, Li Xiaofeng took the lead in standing up and greeting: "Sister, brother-in-law." Then Liu Yingjie and Chen Yueze also stood up: "Brother Feng! Sister-in-law! ”

Lin Feng nodded towards them, pointed to the seat and said, "Sit, there are no outsiders, don't be so restrained!" ”

Lin Feng looked at Xiaofeng and asked, "Xiaofeng, Uncle Huang followed the emperor to Chengdu, you know everything, right?" ”

"Well, when I went back to the house just now, I already heard from the guards who stayed behind." Xiaofeng nodded.

Lin Feng looked at Liu Yingjie and Chen Yueze again and asked, "How is our situation recently?" ”

The two glanced at each other, and Liu Yingjie stood up and replied: "Brother Feng, since the emperor went to Chengdu some time ago, Sikong De's eldest brother Sikong Lun also followed the promotion and transferred away, Sikong De seems to have given up all the business here, as if the world has evaporated, and he can't find it." There was no news from his leopard gate overnight, not even from his jackals, tigers and leopards! ”

After hearing this, Lin Feng frowned and said to the two: "This matter cannot be underestimated, and it will be investigated all the time." Also, if you want to send more people to protect Zhao Liang, the security in the city is very important, and there must be no negligence! ”

Liu Yingjie nodded and responded, "Well, we have already paid attention to Lord Zhao's side." There is also security in the city, now that the city management yamen has been established, and the subordinate Hongfeng has also had personnel, generally speaking, the situation in the city is still stable! ”

Lin Feng thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I haven't had time to read the account book you sent over, so tell me the situation briefly!" Just get to the point! ”

Liu Yingjie thought for a while and said: "Take the current situation in Hanzhong as an example, all the underground industries are basically under our direct control. I can have an income of about 800,000 taels of silver every month, because we are now directly managed, so in fact, our expenses are quite large! You also need to pay 20% of various taxes. In other words, we can have an income of more than 7 million taels of silver every year! ”

Lin Feng roughly calculated, an army of 10,000 people, calculated according to the combination of troops, would need one million taels of silver a year! These seven million taels of silver are all used for the army, which is enough for the salary of 70,000 people! This still does not count the consumption of grain and grass. However, conscription is still imminent.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng looked at Xiao Feng and said, "Xiao Feng, you can stay with me for the time being, I will ask you for a deputy envoy position." Then tomorrow, you'll be in charge of recruitment! After Xiaofeng nodded, Lin Feng turned to Liu Yingjie and said, "Yingjie, invite Zhao Liang to the mansion for dinner, I have important things to discuss with him!" ”

Saying that, Lin Feng got up and stretched, and said to everyone: "I won't eat lunch anymore, I'm too tired, I'll go back to sleep!" Just remember to invite Zhao Liang over at night! Originally, Lin Feng wanted to take Xiaojun back with him, but after thinking about it, it was not good, and finally he went back to sleep alone.
