The next day, two of Li Zhi's new subordinates came to Fanjiazhuang to visit Li Zhi. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After the chief officer of Fanjiazhuang was promoted to the rank of integrity officer, the two nearby defense officers were placed under the jurisdiction of the integrity officer of Fanjiazhuang. The two thousand households were originally at the level of Li Zhi, but now they have become Li Zhi's subordinates. The news of Li Zhi's promotion to their official had already been notified, and the two thousand households heard that Li Zhi had returned to Fanjiazhuang, so they hurriedly came to Fanjiazhuang to see Li Zhi.

The two thousand households are wearing the official uniforms of the five grades, one of which is Li Zhi's acquaintance, Jing 0 Hai Qianhu Qian Hu served as the defense officer You Huachao in Yunfang. The other thousand households are the former thousand households of the Tian 0 Jin Left Guard, and the thousand households served as the defense officer of the Stone Fort, Su Gong. Stone Fort is also very close to Fanjiazhuang, and Li Zhi has also heard of the character Su Gong before, and I heard that he is a distant relative of the military master.

As soon as You Huachao entered the commanding officer's hall, he was full of smiles. Seeing Li Zhi, his slightly chubby face was so sweet that he could drip honey, and he knelt on the ground and sang loudly: "Xiaguan You Huachao has seen Lord Conduct!" ”

The other Qianhu Su Gong looked a little wooden, with no expression on his face, and he lay on the ground with his head shut: "Xiaguan Su Gong has seen Lord Conduct!" ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "No courtesy! ”

Two thousand households got up and handed over the gift list.

Li Zhi first looked at You Huachao's gift list, which was nothing more than some silk supplements and other items, worth about thirty taels. This You Huachao is an official ruffian, and he has the most eye-catching eyes. Now that Li Zhi has been in the limelight again and again, he naturally knows that he has to stammer, and his shot is not stingy. Li Zhi nodded and accepted it.

"You Qianhu has broken the bill!"

You Huachao hurriedly said: "A little heart, you can't talk about breaking the bank!" After a pause, You Huachao stammered and said: "At this time last year, the commander was still a six-grade hundred-mile, and now the adult is on the rise, and he is already a fourth-grade commander!" What a boy hero! ”

At this time last year, Li Zhi had just set off to exterminate the bandits, and You Huachao was still Li Zhi's superior. A year has passed, You Huachao is already Li Zhi's subordinate, and he is going to bow down to Li Zhi.

Although You Huachao praised Li Zhi, there was still some stupidity in his words.

Li Zhi smiled, didn't pay attention to You Huachao, and opened Su Gong's gift list again, but saw that there was only a few taels of silk on it, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. Li Zhi is not short of these dozens of taels of silver, but the officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty has its own unspoken rules at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and if you take such a small gift to meet Li Zhi, the superior of the integrity officer, you will look down on Li Zhi.

Although Li Zhi has never made money from his official position, Li Zhi has also worked as a defensive officer, so he naturally knows the oil and water of a defensive officer: a defensive officer has more than 100 soldiers, and he can earn dozens of taels of silver by deducting soldiers' salaries a month, plus the filial piety of his subordinate tunpu management team, and the income of the soldiers from cultivating private fields, it is not uncommon to earn 7 or 80 taels a month, what is the matter of taking a few taels of silver as a gift to visit the superior?

Li Zhi is not greedy for ink, which does not mean that his subordinates can despise him.

If Li Zhi doesn't get mad, he will be looked down upon by this Su Gong in the future, and Su Gong will not take Li Zhi's various explanations to heart in the future.

Li Zhi closed Su Gong's gift list and returned it to Su Gong, and said lightly: "I don't think you need to give me a gift!" I'll give you back this gift list! ”

Seeing that the gift given by Su Gong was so narrow that Li Zhi was furious, You Huachao's face was happy, and he put on a lively expression.

Su Gong took the gift list with a burst of panic on his face, and finally put on a smiling face and said: "Lord Integrity, it's not the instigation of the lower officials, the lower officials really don't have any money." Lord Integrity, you are so rich, you don't care about this gift from the lower officials, right? ”

Li Zhi said lightly: "Okay, Su Gong! Then I will go to the stone fort with you once in the afternoon to check whether you have eaten empty pay and drunk the blood of the soldiers, and whether you have privately occupied the military field and served as soldiers? If you don't commit any of these things, I will definitely report to the governor to promote you greatly!" ”

After a pause, Li Zhi said again: "If you commit a crime, then the official will not be polite!" ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, Su Gong's face gradually became a little frightened, he knelt down with a puff, and said loudly: "Lord Integrity, Xiaguan has two concubines and seven children, and the expenses are really very large, and he can't make ends meet!" ”

Hearing Su Gong's words, You Huachao, who was standing on the side, burst out laughing. You Huachao secretly scolded this rice bucket for only drinking the blood of soldiers to raise women, and his brain is so bad - what does it have to do with the big expenses of the concubines in your family and the integrity of adults? Should an ethical adult still help you raise women and children?

Li Zhi said coldly: "What do you mean? ”

Su Gong, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Li Zhi's cold tone, and finally understood, he slammed it into his arms, took out another gift list, and sent it to Li Zhi together with the gift list just now.

Li Zhi looked at the new gift list, which listed more than forty taels of gifts, and closed the old gift list just now, there were a total of fifty taels worth of gifts.

It turned out that this Su Gong was testing Li Zhi just now, and if the temptation failed, he still had a backhand. Probably he thought that Li Zhi was so young, he must be fooled. The rice bucket-like remarks just now are all pretended.

Li Zhi took the two gift slips and pondered for a while: If he forced this Su Gong to give him a gift like this, Su Gong wouldn't say that he blackmailed him and forced him to give a heavy gift, right?

Fortunately, the amount of this gift list is very small, a few dozen taels, which is a meeting gift, even if Su Gong goes out and talks nonsense, others will not take it seriously. But since he thought of this, Li Zhi hated this Su Gong even more in his heart. Li Zhi secretly said that he had to punish Su Gong no matter what, otherwise he would be too indifferent to himself.

I heard that this Su Gong is a distant relative of Lord Bingbei?

So what? Li Zhi really wants to make things difficult for him, and it is difficult to save the fire from far away with soldiers.

"Su Gong! This officer will take time to visit your stone fort once this month to inspect the military situation! If someone stops my horse and sues you, this official will definitely investigate and deal with it seriously! ”

Hearing Li Zhi's words, a layer of fine sweat broke out on Su Gong's forehead, who was kneeling on the ground, and he began to regret his temptation to Li Zhi, and said loudly: "The lower official must greet Lord Ethics in front of the castle gate and accompany Lord Ethics to inspect!" ”

Li Zhi glanced at Su Gong, who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't tell him to get up, but only said loudly: "Okay, let's get down to business!" You've probably heard of my style too, and I'm very simple to ask of both of you! ”

Other tunbao outside Fanjiazhuang, Li Zhi still didn't want to interfere. The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is involved in the whole body, all kinds of relationships are complicated, and smashing other people's jobs will attract all kinds of revenge, Li Zhi doesn't want to find trouble. But for their own subordinates, the basic requirements still have to be put forward.

"First, eat better, don't cause mutiny! If you provoke an incident, this official will definitely investigate all your actions! ”

"Second, there can only be more grains in Tuntian, not less! If it's less, I'll find out why! ”

"If these two items are satisfied, I will not commit any crimes! If you can't do these two, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”

After some temptation, the two knew that Li Zhi was not a good person, and at this time they were already very respectful to Li Zhi, so they hurriedly replied:

"Xiaguan knows!"

"Xiaguan understands!"
