In the front hall, after Yi Du finished speaking, Fu Quan sat down quietly and looked at Yi Du with a wry smile without saying a word.

Yi Du's face was dissatisfied, as the main family, Fu Quan's treatment was very rude, just about to ask Fu Quan why he came, suddenly his face was stunned, he looked up at Huang Zhong fiercely, looked at him several times, and then looked at Fu Quan, his face was unpredictable.

Fuquan knew that he already knew what he was doing, so he got straight to the point and said: "I have not been in office for a long time, everything in the county is complicated, the treasury is empty, and it is difficult to continue. ”

Yi Du thought for a long time and said: "The Ming Mansion is selfless for the public, it is really the blessing of my county, I don't know how much there is a shortage in the county, and I am willing to help each other." After speaking, his face was full of pain, and it was extremely painful, after all, the meaning of Fu Quan's words just now was obvious, his treasury was short of money and food, so he needed the help of talents.

As for how to help?

Of course, you don't really want you to have the ability to help Liucheng improve his political performance, after all, Liucheng has so many people and not much wasteland, what Fuquan wants must be money and food, in other words, buy officials.

It's easy to be painful, if it's a county official, it's fine, but for a county official to give money and food, it's okay to give less, if it's more, it's really not worth it.

However, does he have a choice?

The starting point of his own family is low, and it is not that his father and ancestors are all county officials until now, otherwise he would have been looked at as the assets of the family a long time ago, and now the county officials can't do it, and it's okay to be a county official, not to mention that the background behind Fuquan is also something he can't ignore.

Officials and officials, officials and people, to a certain extent, are a kind of world-wide distance, their own merchant family, two generations mixed between the county officials, now there is an opportunity, of course, we must firmly grasp it, even if the price paid is heavy.

Fuquan was overjoyed and said: "Sure enough, Shengji is a generous person, and I want to let Shengji be the history of Lingshi and assist in recruiting soldiers in the county." In the previous war, the county lost a lot of soldiers, and it is trying to select strong people to make up for it, and the people who are talented will be promoted. "Ling Shi is the county official who manages the documents and archives in the county.

"Thank you, Mingfu." Yi Du's face was ugly, of course he knew how much money it would cost to make up for the shortage of soldiers, and although his heart hurt, he still agreed.

"There are such good officials as Shengji in Liucheng, why should I worry?" After that, he laughed, and finally a matter of his heart was over.

Fu Quan then left, and before long, a young man walked out of the front hall, looking more than twenty years old, somewhat similar to Yi Du, who was Yi Gu, the son of Yi Du.

"My lord, it takes millions of dollars to recruit more than 100 soldiers, why did my lord agree to this Fuliuchuan humiliating my family so much?" Yi Gufen said, after all, this money is not a small amount.

Yi Du said: "With only a small county official's ear, you really believe that I will give Fuliuchuan so much money?" If so, they should know that this is a self-inflicted disgrace! ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Yi Gu's face changed, could it be that there was a deep meaning in his heart?

"How have you forgotten those who are behind you?"

"Fu Yue rides?" Yi Gu blurted out, thought for a moment, and exclaimed with a glint in his eyes: "Song Che ride!" ”

"Yes! If Fuliuchuan hadn't ridden with a Song car, how could he dare to enter my house lightly? No matter how respectful his identity is, I will send him some money and food, but he will keep my family alive. If my family wants to become a scholar, there need to be several generations of high-ranking officials in the family, but there is no nobleman in the court to help, there is no doubt that it is difficult to come, it is based on this to dare to come to my family, if I do not follow, it will go to other wealthy families in Liucheng. Yi Du said.

Yi Gu nodded again and again, and then said: "My lord said very much, in this case, should my family arrange for family soldiers to join the army, so that it can save some money." ”

"Forget it, you can go and prepare millions of dollars, but the family soldiers will make this son unhappy."

"No."

said that Fuquan left the Yi family, his face was in a good mood, and he finally raised funds for recruitment. secretly said in his heart that this head of the Yi family was a delicate person, and if he didn't agree, he would go to several other wealthy families in Liucheng to go on a wave. In order to recruit elite soldiers, Fuquan is open, as for why he chose the Yi family, the reason is very simple, that is, the Yi family has few officials, and the official position is not large, and he is conducive to control.

Back at the official residence, the servants came to report that someone from Luoyang had arrived and was waiting at his residence.

Fu Quan was shocked, could it be that something happened to the Jingshi? Hurriedly returned to the official residence, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw more than 20 strange figures in the courtyard, which made him stunned.

Yao'er came at this time, holding a letter in his hand, and said softly after saluting: "Young master, all the people in the courtyard are sent by the prince, this is a letter from Luoyang." ”

Fu Quan took the first letter from his family in this life, opened it, and looked at Liu Hua's elegant and beautiful words, he suddenly felt a lot of sadness.

The letter is long, full of a thousand words, and the first half only asks if you are okay and let yourself not be careful. If it is not safe in Liucheng, he will abandon the official and return to Beijing, and he must not be ambushed and killed.

Touching the paper in his hand, it seemed to be slightly moist and watery, Fu Quan thought about his tears when Liu Hua wrote the letter, it seems that he really made his aunt worried, he is really unfilial.

The second half of the text changed abruptly, the handwriting was neat and neat, the moment was strict, it was the handwriting of the uncle, and the main writing at the beginning was the officialdom matters when he was an official, as well as the recent policy strategy of the imperial court. Then the tone of his words changed abruptly, blaming himself for not telling them about the ambush, and at the same time telling Fuquan that the ashes of the eight dead loyal servants had been received, and Fu Wan said that he had sent a group of retired soldiers of the Yue cavalry battalion to take them as domestic servants and come to protect him. In the end, Fu Wan told him to be careful in his tasks, and when he accumulated some merits, he would definitely play the court and move him to another place as an official as soon as possible.

As for how this group of people retired, Fu Quan thought that he must have used a means, because he saw that some of these soldiers of the Yue Cavalry Battalion were only in their thirties, how could they be like soldiers who should retire when they were about to be old? It seems that his uncle has deeply learned to dig the essence of the country's corners.

The letter was already over, but I didn't want to sweep it back, but there was still a piece of paper, looking at the powerful subset, Fu Quan was stunned, because this was Liu Jian's handwriting, and secretly said What did this woman write to herself?

There are only a few words on the paper, and they also tell Fuquan to be very careful, and he doesn't mean anything else. Fu Quan wanted to stuff the letter into his arms, but suddenly his hand moved, and he saw that the paper was actually double-layered, and after a little rubbing, he took out the paper that was glued and blocked, and there were words on it.

When Fuquan read it, he couldn't help but change his mind, and saw that it was written: Qingqing Zijin, my heart. Even if I don't go, Zining won't make a sound? Qingqingzi Pei, I think about it. Even if I don't go, Zining won't come? Picky and embarrassed, in the city. Not seen for a day, like March.

This article is from "The Book of Poetry, Zheng Feng, Zijin", to the effect that a woman is waiting for her lover on the city tower, what is Liu Jian's intention to write this? She is so cautious in using two layers of paper because she is afraid that she will be discovered by Liu Huafu, is she interested in herself?

Fu Quan was shocked, quickly put the letter in his arms, and then greeted the more than 20 people in the courtyard, and after a cordial greeting, he asked people to take them down to rest.

This time there were twenty-eight horsemen, plus the original twenty-two horsemen, a total of fifty horsemen, so that he had a team of elite cavalry, all of which were iron horsemen who had been on the battlefield, and it seemed that they would be a boost in the future.
