Soon after Yang Qi returned to Suide, Shang Jingshi dealt with his uncle's funeral and brought more than 50 people to defect, and it was at this time that the official document of the imperial court also reached Suide, and what he didn't know was that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies was in the matter: Zhang Changgui also came to Shaanxi to command the envoy to supervise the army to suppress the thieves.

Suidezhou County Hall Hall.

"It's a rumor that everyone is here today to announce the good news." Zhao Guodong took the appointment with some excitement and said: "Due to our outstanding combat performance, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies has set up a special Suide Guarding Thousand Households, Li Mingwei has been promoted to Suide Guarding the Thousand Households, Hu Feng has been promoted to the Thousands of Households, Wang Li has been appointed as the Commander of the Thousand Households, Lu Dabao has been appointed as the Suppressor, and Yang Qi, Zhao Zhongquan, and Jiang Jiren have been promoted to the Hundred Households. ”

"Oops!" Hu Feng's big mouth was so happy that he couldn't close it.

Lu Dabao and Wang Li were also very excited, they didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

"Your Excellency!" Li Mingwei stood up and asked, "What about you?" ”

"Me?" Zhao Guodong said happily: "Of course, I was promoted, and I will go to Shaanxi to command the envoy in the near future." ”

"Congratulations to your Excellency." Li Mingwei, Yang Qi, Hu Feng and others stood up to congratulate.

"Hahaha!" Zhao Guodong is really happy, he has been fighting with Liu Jiefu for so long, and finally he doesn't have to fight anymore, he never dared to think that he could work in the province one day, the Shaanxi Command Department is equivalent to the military division of a province, and the affairs are equivalent to the level of deputy commanders, but there is a distinction between civilian and military positions, and the specific work content depends on how the commander is distributed.

"I'm in for a treat tonight, everyone is not drunk and has no home!" Zhao Guodong said with a laugh.

"Subordinates and other orders!" The crowd burst into laughter.

The dinner was unusually rich, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, you came and went, it was not lively.

"Brother, after I leave, this Suide will depend on you." After three rounds of drinking, Zhao Guodong pulled Li Mingwei, who came to toast, and instructed: "You were brought out by me, don't embarrass Lao Tzu." ”

"Don't worry, sir." Li Mingwei hurriedly said: "The lower official still wants to thank the lord for his support, if it weren't for the adult, the lower official wouldn't know where to guard the city gate now." ”

"Hahaha!" Zhao Guodong said with a smile: "No, you are a talent, you will shine wherever you go, I look at people, I can't be wrong." Come on, do it! ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Li Mingwei smiled: "Dry! Li Mingwei turned to the new officials under the corridor and shouted.

"!" All the officials drank it all in one gulp.

"Brother, after the elder brother leaves, your burden is not light, I received the news that the imperial court sent a Beijing official to Shaanxi to supervise the army this time, and you, who guarded the palace of a thousand households, are specially approved by the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it is said that they will conduct group training here for you, and use this as a base to continue to attack the thief army in Fugu." Zhao Guodong whispered to him: "You have to give our five military governors a face, it is said that this time the military department and our peak is very ruthless, you know, the military department is raised by these sons, who have always oppressed our five military governors, and now your military exploits have shown us in front of the emperor, but we have to make persistent efforts." ”

"Huh?" Li Mingwei was surprised, I don't want to have so many hidden secrets here, it seems that his burden is indeed not light.

"Your Excellency, you know." Li Mingwei said with some panic: "The qualifications of the lower officials are still shallow, such a major event in the imperial court, the lower officials are really afraid of smashing the face of our five military governors." ”

"It's okay, the Shaanxi Metropolitan Command Envoy will help you carry it, isn't this the Governor's Mansion also sent someone? I believe that you will soon go to Suide to investigate on the spot, you have to be careful to serve, do a good job, but the future is a promising errand, how many people can't look forward to it. Zhao Guodong said with envy.

"The officials will do their best, and please take care of them." Li Mingwei knew that this errand could not be shirked, so he could pull more help.

"This nature, don't worry, take care of you, in fact, take care of myself." Zhao Guodong said from the bottom of his heart.

This night everyone returned happy, but also Yang Qi came to Daming the most relaxed day, his team is also together, during the period to Wei Dayong, Gao Chengzhen led by the Anding faction and the newly joined Shang Jingshi, Yang Yue and others led by the two groups of people to fight the wine is the most "miserable", drink to the end Wei Dayong hugged Shang Jingshi for a kiss, the two are like brothers.

The next day, in the study of Suide County.

"See Senho-sama!" Yang Qi was found by Li Mingwei early in the morning, and said with a hippie smile when he saw him in a brand-new thousand-household official uniform.

"Go, go, go!" Li Mingwei glanced at him and said, "Let's just do it here, don't come with me." ”

"Hey, Brother Li!" Yang Qi smiled and saw the salute again.

"That's pretty much it, sit down." Li Mingwei stretched out his hand and said.

"I don't know why Brother Li came to me today?" Yang Qi asked.

"You know, we're big now, and everything is up for grabs." Li Mingwei took a sip of tea and said, "The imperial court has given us such a big burden, I want to hear your opinion." "Li Mingwei is now more and more inseparable from Yang Qi, and everything must be discussed with him.

"The key to exterminating the righteous army is not to suppress it, but to focus on soothing and supplemented by suppression." Yang Qi said.

"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”

"The reason why the rebels rebelled was because they didn't have enough to eat, and this lack of food was divided into several points: first, land annexation was becoming more and more serious, and the people had no land to cultivate; Second, natural and man-made disasters, grain production is reduced, and the family has land but no food, but has to borrow money to live, and third, the various taxes and miscellaneous expenses of the imperial court, and the tax is unfair. Fourth, the law and discipline are unclear, and people's hearts are unfair! As long as these three points can be corrected, it will naturally be possible to ensure that the cultivators have their fields, and the people live in peace and contentment, and who will be willing to live a life with their heads in their hands? Yang Qi Langlang said that since he came to Daming, he has always thought in his heart, where is the way out? For the feudal imperial system, which was dominated by agricultural civilization, land annexation was digging into the corners of the imperial court.

"What you say is reasonable, but it is not easy to do, the interests behind land annexation and exorbitant taxes are intertwined, and it is not easy for you and me to touch a thousand households or a hundred households." Li Mingwei is very self-aware of this, don't look at Suide repeatedly being at the hands of thieves, but the strong and strong scholars here have not been injured at all, and even many people are related in the capital, most of their families have survived for hundreds of years, and through intermarriage, they have long not known where to stretch their hands.

"Moreover, the court will press down the burden, and the first task is to suppress the bandits." Li Mingwei said.

"Well, I understand Brother Li's difficulties." Yang Qi said: "Iron still needs to be hard, our current body bones really can't move these big stones, then Brother Li will train the troops first, not to recruit the bandit army, we also need to protect ourselves, if we can't protect it, Pei Chao will lead the army to attack one day." ”
