As soon as Jia Min got up, Wei Ruolan came.

"Sir Min, you're finally back, and we all look forward to your coming back every day."

"I'd like to come back sooner."

"When Yang Lin went back, he said that you are back, Chief of Staff Feng and all of us have a plan, it is better to be here with my sister-in-law tonight, give you a pick-up, one to eat and drink, and the other to have fun here. To be honest, it's been open for so long, and we really haven't been here a few times, but I'm a little sorry for my sister-in-law. ”

"Where, if you are on official business, it is not good to come here all the time. It's better to be like this, the fourth master is back today, even if your sister-in-law invites you tonight, you don't have to pay for it, so as not to embarrass you with money. ”

"Well, isn't that?"

"It's okay, since Bingyi has this mind, you can fulfill her."

"Since Chief Min has said so, it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate. It's just that there is one more thing, and I have to ask Chief Min to take a trip. ”

"What's the matter? I have to go for a trip, you can deal with it as you want, I have no official position now, and I have to be cautious about official affairs. ”

Jia Min doesn't want to be too flamboyant now, after all, it's different now than before. He is no longer Bu Kui's guerrilla, and he interferes everywhere in official affairs, and his hand is stretched too long.

"Although Chief Min has no official position, in our hearts, he will always be our chief, and this point cannot be controlled by Ren is the king of heaven."

"Besides, this matter has to be done by Chief Min, and no one else can replace it."

"What the hell is it that is so serious?"

"I heard that Chief Min has returned, and the yamen is resting, and no one is leaving. I had to go home after seeing Chief Min.

The soldiers all gathered in the courtyard, did not go back to the house, and they were all waiting for Commander Min, if Commander Min did not meet them, I am afraid that they would not even eat at night. ”

"Well, why bother. Okay, let's go meet up. Bing Yi, you start preparing here, and we'll come over in a while. ”

"Don't worry, I'm fast here, and I won't embarrass you."

Jia Min and Wei Ruolan rode to the Bukui Yamen, and saw that more than 30 people had gathered in front of the door, and these people were all the staff of the Bukui Yamen.

As soon as they saw Jia Min coming, people gathered around. Regardless of whether the sedan chair is high or low, even the sedan chair driver came up and asked for warmth. One by one, the excitement was palpable.

The Bukui Yamen is a military-political institution. At present, there are three main functions.

First, the civil affairs of Bukui Prefecture, including population, taxation, public security, economic and other affairs, are basically the same as those of ordinary local yamen.

The second is the affairs of Bu Kui's distribution office, that is, the management of nearly 10,000 people in Bu Kui.

The third is Bukui's military defense. Last year's Battle of South Vendura and this year's Battle of Erdaojiang fall into this category.

Although Jia Min was removed from his official position, the imperial court has not appointed a new person to replace Jia Min's position. At present, all the affairs of Bu Kui are managed by Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun and Wei Ruolan.

gave instructions to the court, and the court gave instructions to Bu Kui, which has always been implemented in the name of the three of them.

Since Jia Min arrived in Bukui, through a series of reforms and rectification measures, Bukui has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Civilly, through the construction of the city wall, the development of the Bukui economy was promoted, attracting a large number of people and creating a large number of jobs.

At present, it can be said that the economic situation in Bukui has reached a relatively hot level. This was followed by a massive increase in taxes.

With the improvement of the financial situation, the officials not only received the salaries that had been in arrears before, but the salary level has been greatly increased compared with before. In various welfare benefits, there has also been great progress.

In the case of outcasts, the mortality rate of outcasts has been greatly reduced, and the escape rate has been reduced to a minimum. Last year, the economies of various official villages, factories, and mines reversed the situation of years of losses, and achieved relatively large profits.

Military achievements are even more obvious.

The first is the construction of the city wall, which has played a great role in improving the sense of security of the residents.

The defeat of the Tatars in last year's Battle of Southern Vendura and this year's Battle of Erdaojiang raised the pride of the Bukui people to a high point.

Another military achievement is the construction of the government corps. At present, the government corps has grown to a scale of 6,000 people, and it is a formidable army with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Bukui's officials and ordinary people love Jia Min so much.

In their opinion, these are all brought to them by Jia Min. As for whether Jia Min is an official now, in their eyes, it actually doesn't matter.

After greeting each other for a while, they heard Jia Min say that they would stay in Bukui for a long time, and then everyone dispersed.

In the end, there was another guy who didn't leave, and Jia Min saw that it was Guo Qisheng from Zhili. It turns out that this guy is also working in the yamen now.

At this time, it was inconvenient for the two to recognize each other, so they nodded, and they could be regarded as having met.

He sent away the people from the yamen, and went to the barracks.

As soon as he entered the barracks, Jia Min was startled.

The barracks compound was densely packed with soldiers.

Row by row, column by column, neatly lined up.

The original captain of the pro-soldiers was tall and strong, and he led twelve pro-soldiers to run over.

"Report to Chief Min, the pro-soldier team reports to you, and now it is officially back to the team."

"Good, good."

Then, twelve pro-soldiers followed behind Jia Min.

Chen Yejun ran away.

"Report to Chief Min, all the government corps have been assembled, please review it."

Then, Chen Yejun followed Jia Min and accompanied Jia Min over.

I saw that the soldiers in each phalanx were all wearing brand-new military uniforms, and the soldiers were carrying long bows and hard bows, and short crossbow arrows and daggers were hanging from their waists, which were the standard individual equipment of the fully armed government corps.

All of them are full of spirit and high morale, and when they see Jia Min, their eyes flow with the light of fanatical worship.

At the head of each phalanx were the officers of the teams.

In order, it was Feng Ziying, Wei Ruolan, Lin Dajiang, Jiao Li, Feng Zijing, Chen Yeqing, Wei Ruoshui, Jia Qiang, Qin Zhong, Jia Yun, Jia Qin, Jia Ping, Li Gui, Wei Ruoyu, Feng Zipu, Feng Zimiao, Shi Song, Shi Liu, Chen Yetong, Huang Tianyun and other officers of the Laofu Corps.

Then there are Zhao Dahai, Feng Kui, Xu Mingtao and other officers of the former Bukui Garrison Office. The rest, probably newly promoted, don't even know Jia Min anymore.

Interestingly, there are three old acquaintances who also stand in the ranks of the officers.

One is one of the three flowers of the South Windura grassland, the younger sister of the plum blossom, the second rose.

The other turned out to be Jia Min's old acquaintance, who had previously attacked Jia Min's glove man Jia Qiao with Niu Jizong and Liu Fang.

There is also a celebrity on Ningrong Street who was forcibly conscripted into the army by Jia Min, drunk King Kong Ni Er.

Welcoming Jia Min's return with such a formation is already the highest etiquette of the government corps.

Jia Min understood their feelings.

This team was formed and trained by him. It is marked with a very distinct personal style of Jia Min.

The glorious achievements of last year's Battle of South Wendura and this year's Battle of Erdaojiang against the Tatars gave them a very strong sense of pride and honor when compared with the defeated and fleeing imperial army.

In fact, their loyalty and admiration for Jia Min do not only come from these. There are three other points that are also important.

One is the literacy and cultural education that Jia Min enforced in the government corps. This makes them all literate, literate people.

In this day and age, this is not only a very important skill for a person, but also greatly improves their social status.

Second, Jia Min's use of equipment, especially firearms, greatly reduced their mortality rate on the battlefield.

The third is the high standard of life of the government corps. Whether it is food, housing, clothing, or military salary, it is first-class.

The money spent, especially in the early days, was Jia Min's personal money.

With the little military expenditure of the imperial court, whether it is in terms of equipment or living treatment, it is simply not up to the current standard.

The salary of an ordinary soldier in the government corps can now make a family of four or five live a well-off life.

This makes serving in the military no longer just for military service, but as a profession and a means of earning a living. Economically, it is also feasible.

In other armies, except for officers, such a thing basically does not exist.

Jia Min believes that this is an army loyal to himself, and even more so, an army loyal to the imperial court.

If they were not loyal to the imperial court, why did they bother to train their troops?

If they were not loyal to the imperial court, why would they take down Southern Windula and collect tribute for the imperial court? Establishment of prefectures?

If they were not loyal to the imperial court, when the 150,000-strong army was defeated, why did they meet the enemy and block the Tatars west of the Erdao River, stopping them from moving south, and protecting the safety of Bukui?

The founder and commander of such an army has now been stripped of his fame and reduced to the people.

And the reason turned out to be simply to oppose the inevitable war.

There is such a ridiculous thing!

He was touched by the affection of his subordinates, and pleased with their loyalty.

However, it is precisely because of this that Jia Min also has hidden worries in his heart.

The personal color of this army is somewhat obvious, and this is not a good thing for the government corps.

It's good to say when you meet a broad-minded emperor, but if you meet the current emperor like this, it's really hard to say what the future fate of the government corps will be?

The game of walking rabbits to death, fox dogs to cook, and birds to hide their bows has always been a trick that emperors love to play.

While worried, Jia Min also felt his responsibility.

He was the one who led them to this path, and he was also responsible for their future fate.

After a few simple clichés, Jia Min called for the disbandment of the team. Before some of the old people left, they gathered around one after another, and there was another round of greetings and laughter.

It wasn't until Chen Yejun shouted several times that everyone dispersed.

At this time, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan, Jiao Li, Lin Dajiang, Zhao Dahai and other senior officers had the opportunity to get together with Jia Min and greet and laugh.

While talking and laughing, he left the barracks and went to Shen Bingyi's place to eat and drink.
