What the? More than ninety people? Zhong Youzhang's eyes widened, and it took a while to come to his senses, and he said helplessly: "Brother Run, your style is not small!" I actually brought more than 90 relatives with him, and even our prime minister has never traveled so beautifully! Hehe! The commander of the feudal town is different! ”

Li Yi smiled, and said in his heart that I have more than 500 pro-soldiers in Yunnan, and if I don't bring more than 100 pro-soldiers with me every time I travel, Guo Zhun will not agree. It's just that now that they are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, all kinds of rules are really cumbersome.

I still want to go to Luhu Mountain Villa and Pugu Secret Camp to have a look! If there are not a few competent people under his command to familiarize themselves with the geographical situation in advance, it will be really inconvenient to pass intelligence information back and forth in the future.

Thinking of this, Li Yi asked tentatively: "If you only need to complete the procedures for a few people first, and leave the rest of the people for the next year to handle it slowly, I don't know if you can do it all in one day tomorrow?" ”

Zhong Youzhang hesitated: "Done?" Oh! Do you mean it's all done? Hehe! This should be fine. You write their names to me, and I will go to the yamen early tomorrow morning to retrieve the files, and it should be easy to handle the words of a few people. ”

Li Yi immediately took a pen and paper, wrote down the names of Lian Jun, Lin Jin, Gao Chang, Huo Feng, and Lin Chi, and handed them to Zhong Youzhang.

After inquiring in detail about their positions, places of origin, and origins, he said: "Lin Jin belongs to the order of ministers, and our officials can access the files and handle them directly." Others need to go to the military department to retrieve the files, which is a little more troublesome. However, as long as I inform the personnel in charge of the Ministry of War in advance, it should be done tomorrow afternoon, and I will come to inform you when the time comes. ”

After chatting for a while, the Zhong brothers and Lu Guangtu got up to say goodbye, as if they had also rushed out in time, and presented the gifts given to them one by one, which were nothing more than four catties of tea per person, four jade seals of hibiscus stone, and an inkstone made of Tianhe stone, a pen holder made of iron wood, and four boxes of Yunnan specialty pastries, which were for their children. It was as if he had arranged for the family's servants to drive them back in a carriage.

After sending the three of them back to the inner room, Li Yi asked Wanru a little strangely: "It's just that such a small gift, it doesn't feel heavy in your hand, why do you send a carriage to send it!" Isn't that a shame on them? ”

It was like laughing and said, "You're really a nerd, don't you understand this truth?" Just the map, he also lives in Xing'anfang, but it's just a street away, and there is no problem walking back. Although the Zhong brothers have been in the capital for seven or eight years, they have been renting ordinary houses, although they are far away from the official office, how can they have spare money to buy mounts. ”

"With their meager salaries, it is not easy to support more than a dozen people from two families. Oh! Do you know why the two brothers have already started a family separately, but they still live together? Ay! Isn't it to save two bucks? ”

Li Yi sighed softly, thinking that these brothers were originally from Chengzhou, and they had been adrift in the capital for seven or eight years.

Thinking of this, Li Yi couldn't help but shake his head and said: "It's really not easy for these two brothers, they can be regarded as officials with a certain status in the capital, and they should always have some savings in their hands, can't they afford to buy two mounts?" It's really not good, I'll give them two horses, anyway, there are still ones in Luhu Villa. ”

As if hearing this, he was surprised for a while, and then the laughing flower branch trembled: "Ouch! My great officer! You are really a child from a rich family, and you don't know how ordinary people live. ”

"The ancestral business of the Zhong brothers has long been withered, and their parents have no spare energy to help them, so they are completely self-made on their own, and they have to raise four children, which is not so easy."

"In addition, as an official of a certain grade in the capital, how can there not be a few servants in the family, there are only two maids and two rough servants in their family, which is already the lowest standard in the capital."

"Official! You are a full man, you don't know how hungry a man is! The Zhong brothers are all low-grade officials, and their salaries are only three or four hundred taels a year, and the subsidies for firewood, rice, and charcoal are pitiful, and they don't have any prominent titles, so there is no extra income. ”

"I heard that their brother is saving money to buy a house, this is not a small amount, the price in the capital is high, and the price has risen repeatedly in recent years, if it is a three-entry courtyard, I am afraid it will cost at least five or six hundred taels of silver, and the location is even better."

"You said you wanted to give their brother two horses, I don't know where you got the money. Even if you have the money and want to give it to them for free, will they accept it with peace of mind? The ancients said that the incorruptible are not subject to the food that comes from the mouth, have you ever considered how they feel when they are faced with your almsgiving? ”

Li Yili was speechless, and said with a stammering mouth: "It is said... It is said that Youzhang is the head of the ministry, and the oil and water should be very big! Even if he doesn't bribe aggressively, a small amount of money can't be broken. It's not that I support him for corruption and bribery, but it's nothing to collect some hard-earned money appropriately, as long as you don't do bad things with a clear conscience. ”

It was as if glaring at Li Yi, and said angrily: "I found that your idea is very wrong!" I advise you! If you want to go far in your career, you must be a man who walks right and sits upright, and you must not be greedy for petty profits, let alone make a fortune with a clear conscience. ”

"Zhong Youzhang is a righteous gentleman who is calm and stable, he is thoughtful, careful and steady, and never covets other people's money, which is better than his brother. Such a person in the ministry will not cause any trouble! ”

"Also, you were quite generous just now, saying that you were going to give the Zhong brothers two horses, and they were from Luhu Villa. I don't know what kind of place Luhu Villa is, can you take the things there and give them away? ”

Li Yi secretly screamed in his heart, his big tongue, when he was proud, he casually pulled out Lin Qingliang's Luhu Villa, and his tone was too arrogant. But the relationship between them cannot be said clearly yet, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Yi had no choice but to sneer: "You may not know that there is a Luhu Lake in the west of the capital, where Lin Yi's uncle, Mr. Lin Qinglianglin, bought a Zhuangzi and raised a lot of cattle, sheep and horses. With our relationship, it's not a problem to get two horses. Hehe! Am I also here to help the Zhong brothers? ”
