After learning that Li Yue was named the court inviter, Wang Teng and Du Sanjin led their brothers to constantly coax him to treat him.

The Liang military system, ten people for a team, set up a team of one person; Five teams are one flag, with one flag leader; Five flags are a school, with a school captain; The five schools are one battalion, with one commander and another deputy commander; The five battalions are an army, with one commander and another deputy commander.

Li Yue wanted to invite a full fifty people this time, and there was a lot of bleeding. Fortunately, there is the 20,000 yuan given by Wen Bin and Zhang Qi, although there is still 108,000 miles away from the 200,000-year-old coin, but it is more than enough to have a banquet with the brothers.

What's more, after becoming a courtier, Li Yue's military career in Daliang is higher than the paragraph. The front battalion of the Left Army of the Guardian Army, where Li Yue was before, was the backbone of the Guzhong Battalion under the command of General Zong Peng.

In the course of the war that year, General Zong successively took in a group of orphans who lost their homes in the war, plus the orphans of the martyrs of the Zongjia Army, which were organized into the Lonely Loyalty Battalion.

After General Zong was unjustly killed, the imperial court scattered Zong's army into various armies. The Lone Battalion was incorporated into the Left Army of the Protector Army, and the oldest was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, and the youngest was even just beginning to babble.

For these orphans, General Zong, who adopted them, is their parents, and the Guzhong Camp is their home. After General Zong was framed, it was really a ruin for them. Having tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, they can only rely on each other and huddle together for warmth.

The banner men and horses under Li Yue's jurisdiction, except for Wang Teng and Du Sanjin, were all orphans of the Guzhong camp back then. These people were all less than four years old when Zong Peng was killed, and it had been a long time since Zong Peng's case when they became adults, so no one bothered to break them up and integrate them into various armies, not to mention how much wind and waves a banner of fifty people could make, so they were basically old people in the lonely camp.

Li Yue is now leaving this big family, and he can't give up in his heart. So he won't feel distressed about how much money he spends today.

However, in line with the principle that fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, Li Yue brought the fifty brothers under his command to the Xiao Family Tavern.

Fifty people came in at once, and the Xiao family tavern suddenly seemed a little crowded, and there were not enough tables, chairs and benches. Du Sanjin, whose leg injury had not yet healed, volunteered and took his two brothers straight to the Liang's carriage and horse shop to borrow tables and chairs.

Du Sanjin, who was driving on crutches, walked fast, and several brothers who had no leg injuries or crutches chased after him and shouted: "Team Du, slow down!" ”

Li Yue frowned and said: "I went to find the servant girl Xiao Yu of the Liang family's carriage and horse shop again, he has the ability to take down the daughter of the owner of the Liang family's carriage and horse shop!" At least you can borrow me some money to make up the 200,000-year-old coins! ”

"Head! You didn't just tell us about this man and woman yesterday, as long as both parties are willing to do so, even your parents can't object to it. ”

Wang Teng interjected very uninterestingly, in exchange for Li Yue's slap on his head.

It was Xiao Ning'er who relieved him: "Brother Yue! Hurry up and call the brothers to sit down, you are all a courtier, don't pull a bitter gourd face all day long, as if everyone owes you money. ”

"Asahi Lang?" Li Yue smiled helplessly: "Hehe......"

However, a seven-rank literary and prose official has no actual authority, and the emperor will give him an empty title in one sentence, and he will have to work hard for him to make up enough 200,000 coins, and he will have to pay the difference within three months.

To say that the official system of this big beam is really chaotic enough, the official position and the dispatch are actually separated. That is, there is no necessary connection between your official position and the actual work you do. Let's take Li Yue as an example, his official position is to invite Lang, which determines his grade and monthly salary. But his dispatch was to know the matter of the year.

If, just if, Li Yue really raised the 200,000-year-old coins for Youguo within three months, then the work assigned to him by the emperor would be finished. Whether there is a new assignment in the future depends on whether the emperor assigns him a new task.

Therefore, in Daliang, the official position determines your status and treatment, and it is not the official position that determines your actual power, but the dispatch. But your sending, that is, what you do, how much you do, and how long you do it are completely determined by the mood of the emperor.

That Emperor Taizu of Great Liang really took great pains to strengthen the control of his courtiers in order to strengthen the imperial power! The whole bureaucracy is more complicated than the principle of the nuclear bomb. However, if he had put all this painstaking effort into developing a nuclear bomb, he would not have been ashamed of his difficulties.

If the matter of the New Year's coin is over and there is no new dispatch, then Li Yue will become an idler who only needs to punch in and sign in for change. And two-thirds of the officials of the Great Liang Imperial Court are now in a state of official status, to put it bluntly, they only eat and do not work.

It is no wonder that the imperial court cannot make ends meet every year, and can only continue to increase taxes, and the burden on the people is getting heavier and heavier. When Emperor Taizu Zhu Xiong of the Great Liang Dynasty founded the country, his promise to the world of "never add endowment" became a complete joke.

Li Yue is now tormented by 200,000 coins, and he has no extra energy to think about how the Great Liang Imperial Court can reduce its personnel and increase efficiency. He'd thought of everything he could, but none of them worked. reselling drugs, Daliang now doesn't even have tobacco, let alone white powder; Robbery of banks, in this era, even the shadow of the bank cannot be seen; Unless you can win five million, etc...... Can you hit five million?

"Smack!" Li Yue slapped his left palm with his right fist and shouted excitedly: "There is!" ”

Du Sanjin and a few brothers carrying tables and chairs saw this scene as soon as they entered the tavern, Du Sanjin looked at Li Yue puzzled and said, "Head, didn't you just borrow tables and chairs, why are you so excited?" ”

Beside him, Wang Teng reached out and touched Li Yue's forehead and said, "I don't have a fever!" ”

Li Yue pushed Wang Teng's arm away, ignoring the puzzled expressions of all the brothers, turned to Xiao Ning'er and ordered, "Lady! Hurry up and serve wine and food to the brothers! ”

has not yet married, according to the customs of Daliang, you can only call a little lady, not a lady. Li Yue called the lady in public, which made everyone in the tavern laugh.

"Who's your lady?" The shy Xiao Ning'er left this sentence and turned around and went to the back kitchen.

Li Yue clasped his fists and saluted: "Brothers, please take a seat!" ”

After everyone sat down and the wine and food were served, Li Yue got up and said, "Let's play a game to help the wine, what do you brothers think?" ”

"Good!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Ning'er! Bring me pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and a pair of dice! ”

Xiao Ning'er quickly sent the things Li Yue asked for to the table, Li Yue tore the white paper into small strips, and everyone sent one. Leave five pieces of paper for yourself, and draw six areas on each piece of paper, marking one, two, three, four, five, and six. Then all of them are pasted in the most prominent position on the walls of the tavern.

After everything was ready, Li Yue said loudly: "Each brother took out two cents and handed them over to my family Ning'er first." ”

Li Yue said as he reached out and took out two pennies from his sleeve and handed them to Xiao Ning'er.

After Xiao Ning'er took it, she immediately went to the table to collect the money. Two pennies to buy a bun is not enough, and for these officers and soldiers who have a stable income, change is not enough, so they all handed over the money to Xiao Ning'er.

After Xiao Ning'er finished collecting the money, Li Yue continued: "Each person writes five numbers on the note, and each number cannot exceed six, be careful not to alter it!" If someone's note has traces of alteration, then the two pennies will be wasted. Li Yue suddenly remembered that a group of soldiers did not have a few literate people, so he added: "Those who can't write should find a ghostwriter who can write." ”

Xiao Ning'er took a few from Mr. Bookkeeper and distributed them to the sergeants. About a generation of cigarettes, everyone wrote their own numbers.

Li Yue cleared his throat and said: "Now my family Ning'er shakes the dice, a total of five times, if the numbers on the note in someone's hand are exactly the same as the order and size of the numbers shaken out by my family Ning'er, then this hundred yuan is his!" ”

The moment Xiao Ning'er raised the color cup, the hearts of all the soldiers and men immediately raised their throats, and their anticipation was mixed with panic, waiting for the lottery results together.
