Chapter 51 Handover of Appointments

A small team of 100 households, You Huachao can step on it casually, but if the other party is the governor's private, it will be very different. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the private governor of the Pavilion, and he came down to be a hundred households just to exercise, and sooner or later he had to rise. If you offend a little, you may have to attract the governor's thunderous revenge! It's too late for such a person to be super stammered, where do you dare to hold it up?

"It's Li Zhi down there!"

Li Zhi was about to kneel and salute, but was preempted by You Huachao.

"I'm You Huachao!" You Huachao didn't put the official in front of Li Zhi, he stepped forward, grabbed Li Zhi's hand, and said cordially: "The officer in charge is so young, let me call you a good brother." Brother Xian, please inside! ”

After all, Li Zhi is a thin-skinned young man, and he is a little embarrassed to see this You Huachao's face-changing kung fu. He coughed, pulled his hand out of You Huachao's hand without a trace, and said lightly: "Shangguan, this is a small meeting salute at the next point, not a respect!" ”

You Huachao was stunned, and then he saw the box hanging in Li Zhijiading's hand.

Li Zhi's family hurriedly walked up, opened the box, and showed the silk ginseng inside to You Huachao. When You Huachao saw this heavy gift, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he couldn't help laughing out loud, looking at Li Zhi's eyes full of kindness, and said loudly: "Brother Xian is really polite, really polite!" ”

With a wave of his hand, he asked the entourage behind him to accept the gifts, and made a gesture of invitation to Li Zhi, and said, "Virtuous brother, please!" ”

Li Zhi saw You Huachao's behavior, and thought that he was also a corrupt and snobbish petty official, but he lost the mind to befriend him. Li Zhi was too lazy to go into the Qianhu official hall to talk nonsense with him, so he said: "If there is something urgent in the next place, don't bother the chief!" Be sure to bring another gift to visit the chief in the future! ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, You Huachao was a little disappointed. He also wants to entertain Li Zhi well, make friends, and when Li Zhi is promoted in the future, he will also have some blessings! But Li Zhi is the governor's private after all, and he is the future official Miaozi, where will he have the time to make friends with his own little defensive officer, Jinghai Qianhu? Come and give yourself a heavy gift, that is already enough to save face! So when Li Zhi said that he was leaving, You Huachao was not surprised, but replied more earnestly:

"It's okay, I'll wait for the next time Brother Xian comes!" After a pause, You Huachao said again: "If there is anything unsatisfactory in Fanjiazhuang, if you need the help of Brother Fool, just ask!" ”

After saying this, he stood there with a posture of wanting to see Li Zhi leave.

Li Zhi secretly said that the governor's BMW was really easy to use, and he helped him settle the official as soon as he came up. Where does this You Huachao look like Shangguan, he is like his subordinate! Li Zhi snorted and didn't stay any longer, so he and his family got on their horses and rode towards Fanjiazhuang.

It was only twenty miles from Yunfang to Li Zhi's Fanjiazhuang, and Li Zhi rode for more than half an hour to Fanjiazhuang.

Fanjiazhuang is two miles away from the Haihe River, not big, is a long and narrow village surrounded by a wall, 30 steps long from east to west, 140 steps from north to south, the wall is two zhang high and not covered with bricks, only a door is opened in the south. Li Zhi had already asked the two families to report the news to the village, and when Li Zhi arrived at the front of the village, seven or eight officials of all sizes in the village had already stood in front of the village to greet him.

When Li Zhi entered the village gate, these people shouted in a chaotic manner:

"I've seen the steward!"

"Hello Captain!"

These people, led by the two Zhengqipin General Banners, all greeted Li Zhi courteously. Li Zhi nodded, and rode into Fanjiazhuang with these welcoming officials.

The situation in Fanjiazhuang made Li Zhi very disappointed.

The inside of the village was very dilapidated, and there was garbage and feces piled up on both sides of the small main road. It was summer, the temperature was very high, and there was a disgusting stench throughout the Zhuangzi. Many empty houses in Zhuangzi are uninhabited and maintained, the eaves are broken, the bricks are missing, and the grass grows into the houses. Li Zhi speculated that the empty houses were left behind by fugitive military households. There were few cows and horses in the Zhuangzi, and the few military families were also very poor, all of them were skinny, wearing shabby short clothes, standing on both sides of the dirty road and looking at the newly appointed Li Zhi, looking confused.

Compared with these military households, Li Zhi's ten family members are in good shape and full of energy.

Li Zhi rode all the way to the Baihu official hall in the middle of the Zhuangzi, and then jumped off the horse. In the main hall of the official hall, Li Zhi met the outgoing previous management officer.

The old team officer is called Yan Yue, in his thirties, and he is about to be transferred to "Liuheli" to serve as a team officer, just waiting for Li Zhi to hand him over. After greeting Li Zhi for a while, he handed over Fanjiabao's yellow account book to Li Zhi, and took Li Zhi to inspect various ordnance warehouses and rice grain granaries.

"There are 61 households in the village, including artisan households and military households, with 371 households, of which 211 are men, 157 are adults, and 54 are not adults. There were 160 women, including 104 strong girls and 56 young girls. ”

Li Zhi listened all the way, accepted the yellow account book, and Yan Yue took Li Zhi to the school to inspect the Zhuang Zhuang soldiers.

Yan Yue asked a few general banners and small flags to summon the Zhuang soldiers separately, and he and Li Zhi waited in an empty room next to the school grounds. At first, Li Zhi didn't understand why Yan Yue hid in a broken house, but then Li Zhi stood for half an hour and understood: the sun was scorching outside, and if he didn't stand in the house and wait, he would suffer from heat stroke. Li Zhi stood in the unventilated dilapidated room and waited sweaty, and those Zhuang soldiers slowly gathered.

The soldiers were dressed in tatters, with rusty swords and spears in their hands. Li Zhi glanced at the past, and estimated that there were less than thirty soldiers. Moreover, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and have no combat effectiveness at all. It is estimated that most of the soldiers who made up the number did not receive their salaries at all, so it is no wonder that the assembly order was delayed.

The two flags were better dressed and stood at the front of the line. It's just that these two officers also seem to be negligent in martial arts, and they only feel that they are better fed and not so thin.

The only people in the village who have combat effectiveness are probably Yan Yue's six family members. However, these family members belong to Yan Yue's private armed forces, and do not belong to the Zhuang soldiers in the village.

Li Zhi flipped through the yellow book and asked Yan Yue, "Didn't the account say that there were fifty-seven Zhuang soldiers?" ”

Yan Yue rolled his eyes, and seemed to scold Li Zhi in his heart for knowingly asking, and then said, "There is an escape!" ”

Li Zhi muttered in his heart: This has pulled so many soldiers and Yu Ding to come up to make up the number, but they can only make up less than thirty, so how serious is the actual desertion situation. Li Zhi glanced at Yan Yue again, and secretly said that this officer had pulled so many surplus dings to make up the numbers, and he didn't know how much empty salary he ate. The monthly salary of the battalion soldiers in Tianjin Town is two taels of silver, and Yan Yueguang has to be greedy for dozens of taels of silver in the previous month.

However, Li Zhi thought again, it is estimated that not only Yan Yue will have to eat empty salaries, but Yan Yue's superiors will also pluck the feathers of military salaries, and Yan Yue may not be so greedy. And he has to support his family. Thinking of this, Li Zhi asked Yan Yue: "How much can the monthly salary be paid every month?" ”

Yan Yue seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with Li Zhi's questioning, snorted, and replied, "You will know when you send it down!" ”

Seeing his attitude, Li Zhi didn't ask any more.

After the handover, Yan Yue clapped his hands and rode away with his family.
