In the council room of the governor's mansion, the three old men were drinking tea and chatting, chatting about where they were going to play today, how to play and other things that had nothing to do with government affairs.

The guards came to report and told the cause of the two major factions.

Meng Maggot was stunned for a moment and laughed, and said with emotion to Wu Siyuan and Dong Ba, who smiled bitterly: "We are all old, we can't afford to toss, the children are all disciples of the generals, and they are not too young, it is time to find an opportunity to exercise them, and the future of the province will ruin our reputation."

In my opinion, let them come in first, ask how to gamble, how to do it, what kind of requirements and conveniences are needed, if it is feasible, then let the children toss, and let them who do not know the height of the sky, experience the hardships, what do you think? . ”

After Meng Maggot finished speaking, he asked the two of them for their opinions in the usual casual tone, but deep down in his heart, he was testing whether the heads of the Wu and Dong families were still attached to the army, even if there was a slight wrong reaction.

After Wu Siyuan pondered, Zhengse shook his head: "Soldiers are the sharp weapons of the state, and interference by non-people in power is regarded as rebellion, brother, don't you know the law and break the law, the two of us will return to our hometown with a sue for the old, but we dare not interfere in the local military and politics." ”

"That's it, you old boy is not authentic!" , Dong Ba echoed, complained to the maggot, and at the same time stretched out his index finger and pointed to the sky: "Are you old and confused?" Do you know it, just because of your words to be heard by outsiders, when the time comes, the two of us will be fine, but you, the head of Daru Huachi, who holds the power of the local military and government, will come to an end. ”

Wu Siyuan sneered in his heart, but suddenly smiled on his face, took Dong Ba's words, and smiled evilly at Dong Ba: "We are both marquises, and we are qualified to participate in the book, why don't we join him?" In the future, we don't have to run to the governor's mansion every day. ”

Dong Ba also smiled evilly when he heard this: "Okay, just join him in colluding with local princes, and help deal with government affairs, this article can make this old boy drink a pot, and at the last time, he can get a farewell to his hometown, hahaha......." ”

The two old men, you and I were very happy to say a word, and the maggot beard was cocked, but I was happy and relieved, but I made an angry and angry look on my face.

Meng Maggot finally had to surrender and beg for mercy: "Don't don't, don't be, it's a moment of confusion, it's all my fault?" Please let me go, two brothers, if you have a request, just mention it. ”

"This ......", Wu Siyuan muttered: "We are used to spending money on playing around, and ...... you think of the expenses of this month in the future, brother?" ”

"The poor family can't open the pot, you old boy watch it, give a happy word." Dong Ba saw the stitches, and Wu Siyuan looked at the maggot and didn't speak, but the smug look on his face, the hated latter itched at all.

"Okay, it's cheap you two old bastards!" After Meng Maggot gritted his teeth and agreed, he went on business and ordered people: "After all, this is an important place for military and political affairs, let them each send a representative, and then bring it in." ”

It's not the point who is on the book, the marquis has the right to go to the book, but it must be seen by the governor's mansion before it is sent to the capital, which the three of them know very well in their hearts, and they don't break it.

Of course, if the relationship between the lords of the land side and the governor is not good, it is okay to have a copy, and directly bypass the governor's mansion and go directly to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Obviously, smart people will not do this, Daru Huachi of the Governor's Mansion is the most important leader in the local area, the backbone of the imperial court, even if he is guilty, he will turn big things into small things, and small things will be turned into small things.

In the end, it must be the princes of one side who suffer.

"Meet the Lord Steward", Wu Qi and Meng Qu entered the chamber and bowed to the Lord Steward, and then got up and bowed to the two marquis Wu and Dong: "I have seen Lord Wu, Lord Dong." ”

"Excuse me", Meng Maggot said solemnly: "I heard that you have made a gambling appointment and want to train a different honor guard, training is not a trivial matter, and this official must not hastily agree because he is young and vigorous, so who of you will talk about the specific details." ”

Meng Qu saw his grandfather looking at him, and hurriedly said: "This matter was initiated by Wu Qi, let him talk about it." Meng Maggot nodded and turned his head to look at Wu Qi, meaning you say it.

Wu Qi glared at Meng Qu, and then said with a straight face: "The younger generation is not talented, and I want to train a guard of honor that is the best in the world, but in fact, I see that this kid is not pleasing to the eye, so I want to press him and let him bleed by the way, so I have a gambling contract, and please don't blame the chief manager." ”

Meng Maggot didn't expect Wu to have a clear motive, bold and whimsical ideas, what to say, it seems that there is really no city, shook his head and said: "You young people's affairs, the old man can't take care of it, let's get to the point." ”

Wu Siyuan and Dong Ba were drinking tea, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves.

Wu Qi saw this, it seems that grandpa is also a stuffy gourd, and he suddenly had a plan in his heart, so he said his thoughts and bets again, and the three old men were shocked, and said that these bastards were pumped by the waves, and the more they played, the bigger they were.

Maggots are interested in this so-called honor guard, and the bigger the stakes, the more it proves the authenticity of this matter.

Based on this, we can better prepare for the future and target the suppression strategies of the major families.

If it is done, it is really practiced, as long as it is reported to the court, the emperor will be happy, and there will be a chance for the honor guard to go to the capital to review, once the emperor is excited, then the status of his Meng family in the court will be tens of thousands.

Anyway, it's not public money spent, nor is it the governor's office's money, and it won't attract criticism.

Meng Maggot had a decision in his heart, he could not participate in the training, but there must be Daru Huachi in the internal supervision, and immediately said: "This matter has been agreed by the official, the soldiers and the station, let your will, the matter can be reported to the governor's office later, and the establishment is set at 700 people in thousands of households, since it is an honor guard, it is subordinate to the governor's office."

It is difficult to build an army for the first time in training, and it is difficult to build it in a short period of time without an experienced foil. If you have any requests, please feel free to do your best. ”

"My lord, according to the law of our dynasty, more than 100 households need one ......"

"Ask you? Dogs are nosy with rats! This young master is the initiator, do you know? Praise you two, you still don't admit it. Meng Qu spoke first, and was choked back by Wu Qi when he finished speaking.

Meng Qu was angry that a mouthful of old blood did not spurt out, and it was very uncomfortable to be scolded, and he didn't dare to go to the usual place to immediately return the favor: "You are bold, you dare to be presumptuous in front of the chief manager." ”

"Bad goods, I don't dare to fight back when I am scolded, I don't bother to pay attention to you."

After Wu Qi despised a sentence, he turned his head and said: "The chief manager takes care of him, and he actually gives the junior a position of thousands of households, but I don't understand the law, we don't understand what official positions are needed, and please take a lot of care from the adults, the important thing is that the accounts of expenses must be open and fair, who knows if this kid will make false accounts and deceive people?." ”

Meng Qu almost jumped up when he heard this, but his grandfather was on the other side and couldn't jump at all.

"I don't blame you if you don't understand, as for the account issue, the old man guarantees, who dares to cheat, military law is engaged!."

Meng Maggot nodded with great satisfaction, thinking that it is not easy to train soldiers, and the establishment of less than a thousand people is easy to manage, but this money is a problem, and the family elders of the younger generations may not be willing to contribute this money, after all, they donated money some time ago.

He's embarrassed to open his mouth no matter how thick-skinned he is, and if he makes a rebound incident, he will be in trouble, which can be big or small.

Win or lose, win a big deal, lose a lot of losses, don't use much money, just lose a lot, win a lot, it's easy to hurt your muscles and bones, that's the point.

Fortunately, Wu Siyuan and Dong Ba indirectly solved this problem, the reason is for the future of future generations, but also for the future of the family, they have this money, it doesn't matter if they win or lose, as long as they can let the younger generations learn, the court can benefit from it, it will be worth it.

The maggot is very relieved, his Meng family is not short of money, and he may not care about winning or losing, but the two marquis families are so open, he can't be stingy, even if he loses, he can't be honest, and he must say that it is for the court to cultivate talents, at least to get a good reputation.

The matter was decided, and the official seal was taken, and the clerk was asked to sign the official document, and then he sent people away.

This kind of training of new soldiers must be reported to the imperial court, and it is indispensable to go to the top.

Wu Qi and Meng Qu left the governor's mansion one after another, and after returning to the Wu family's own courtyard, they told what they had done in the governor's mansion.

So the brothers went back to their homes, and prepared to gather craftsmen, build workshops, send people to Zhuangzi, and select soldiers from the drive, etc., and those who had money contributed and those who did not have money contributed their efforts, and the city was suddenly deserted from that day.

One day, Wu Qi was suddenly confused, the people of this world are too deep in their talking routines, especially the old guy who is maggots, if he doesn't pay attention, he will be topped, since he came back from a trip to the governor's mansion, his heart is silent.

The scenery at night is the most charming, lying on the bed looking at the starry sky outside the window, the tone is full of loss and baldness: "I thought I could beat the crowd, but the people in this world are more powerful than the other, they are all routines, one wrong step is the abyss, I really can't afford to play!" This evil Yuan Dynasty is not so easy to push, what should I do? Who can teach me. ”

"Why is the lord so troubled?"

Suddenly, a voice came in, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Wu Qiao came in first and lit the oil lamp and retreated.

Then two people came in, the first one was Wu Qinzhi, the first person in the Wu family, seeing the young master's stunned expression, and said: "The lord of Qinzhiguan is not the same as before, how high-spirited were you before?" It's really strange to be alone now, hahaha....... ”

Followed by Wu Siyuan, the head of the family, took over the words and said angrily: "Sigh like a girl? It's not a gentleman at all, I think that when Lao Tzu was as old as you, he led the troops to fight, and you lost Lao Tzu's face. ”

"Grandpa, Wu Qinzhi, why are you here?"

Wu Qi hurriedly came out of the quilt, moved chairs for the two, poured water and made tea, he knew that the grandfather and the two must have something serious to do when they came late at night, and he didn't dare to slack off.
