It was May 24, and there were only 11 days left before Li Quanzhong's birthday. Zhuang Yi must get everything done before this, and the next morning he took Duan Sizhen and other fifty knights as guards, took a carriage to the Youzhou Jiedu Embassy in the southeast of the city, and then found the direction of the back house, first asked people to hand over the stickers to the guards guarding the door, and then waited outside for the reception.

Youzhou Jiedu is now governing Kyushu, plus Yingzhou is ten states, of course, there will be no shortage of military and political affairs, and those who came to wait for the meeting have three or four groups of people at this time. Zhuang Yi asked to see them privately, and he didn't want to do the same, so the guards took them to a ceremonial guest room in the courtyard to rest, and then brought tea, and then ignored them.

After waiting for more than half an hour, a soldier came out to summon him, so Zhuang Yi asked the soldiers to wait outside, and only took Duan Sizhen to go in with the soldier, bypassing the corridor by the courtyard to a side hall, and saw that there were already two people sitting in the case, each with a servant waiting.

On the right is a young man in his twenties and thirties, it is Li Kuangyu, he saw Zhuang Yi come in, nodded and smiled as a greeting. A few years after the head of the throne sat an old man in his fifties with gray hair, his face was sallow and his mental state was not good, but he looked at Zhuang Yi with blazing eyes.

Zhuang Yi expected that this person should be Li Quanzhong, the commander of Lulongjie, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Zhuang Yi, a lowly guerrilla general and the soldier and horse envoy of the Pingliao Army, meet Li Dashuai!" ”

Li Quanzhong laughed when he heard this, his voice was low and hoarse, and he said playfully: "The guerrilla general is from the fifth grade, and the same as the Xiazhou Governor's Mansion Sima, the soldiers and horses are disbanded, but the rank is not low, and he is no longer a lowly official, you should be called a lower official, or the last general!" ”

Xiaguan means lower-level official, which is the humble title of a genuine official, and the last general is the general who is at the bottom, and it is also the humble title of a lower-level officer. Because the Tang Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty used to be indistinguishable between military and political affairs, military generals also managed the government, and the prime ministers of the DPRK and China also came out to lead the troops.

"The lower official is vulgar and unliterate, which makes the big handsome laugh!" Zhuang Yi smiled embarrassedly, he changed his name to a lower official, not a general, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Last year, I heard that you defeated the Khitan and took Yingzhou with the help of King Xi's army, and now the government has been straightened out?" Li Quanzhong asked.

"Back to the big handsome! The land in Yingzhou is barren, the population is sparse, and it is not a short term to straighten out the government, and it is currently repairing the city and building roads, which has not yet been completed, but the lower officials admire the majesty of the handsome, and managed to get five hundred good war horses, and prepared some small gifts, brought the map and land household registration list, and rushed to see it early! The brochure is here, I hope the handsome will store it! Zhuang Yi patted the horse and said, turned around and picked up the small wooden box he brought, and handed it forward with both hands.

Duan Sizhen, who was behind him, felt very embarrassed when he heard this, he was so ashamed that he wanted to laugh but he couldn't laugh, so he had to endure it bitterly. Li Kuangyu didn't have this scruples, and he had already laughed.

The map land household register is indeed brought, but of course this will not be the most real data, since it is invested in Youzhou Lulong Jiedu, this is the due meaning of Lulong Jiedu to collect the territory, and the procedure must be taken. If you think about it seriously, this matter can be said to be of great significance to the court, but Lu Long is only a feudal town, and he will not give too high-level courtesy, and there are follow-up things, so Zhuang Yi chose to ask for a private meeting, which is good for both parties.

"Huh...... Is it? Your mind has been received, and the credit that should be rewarded has also been rewarded, what is the next thing......" Li Quanzhong is old and refined, and at this time he was halfway through his words, waiting for Zhuang Yi to speak.

Helpless...... People are under the eaves, and they must bow their heads when they should bow their heads, and if their own strength is insufficient, they can only pretend to be grandchildren.

Zhuang Yi secretly greeted the eighteenth generation of Li Quanzhong's ancestors in his heart, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan has also read some books since he was a child, and he can manage some local affairs, but after all, it is not a state assassin history, and it is not good for the name, and there are few people under his command who can be used to deal with copywriting. ”

"This convenient door is not easy to open, every day someone comes to ask, a certain heart is more than enough but not enough! Although Yingzhou is Xiazhou, it is also a state thorn history under the dignified four products, how many people are just a seven-grade county order in their lives, you are bold and greedy at a young age! This mouth really dares to open ......" Li Quanzhong's old face turned blue instantly, and he sneered.

"Thank you for the teachings of the marshal, the lower officials must remember it! I also hope that the marshal will help, and the lower officials will definitely do things in a down-to-earth manner from now on, be honest, tremble, walk on thin ice, manage the government diligently, govern Yingzhou as soon as possible, and serve the marshal! In the future, the handsome but there is a punishment, and the lower official is willing to lead the horse for the handsome to fall and go to the soup and fire, and he will not give up! Zhuang Yi said this as soon as he opened his mouth, what he said was extremely smooth, anyway, before coming here, he had already prepared for various situations.

Hearing such a long list of sycophantic officialdom spicy words, Li Quanzhong was also stunned, and couldn't help but look at Zhuang Yi a few more times, and he couldn't believe that he said it. I couldn't help but think in my heart: I thought he was a vulgar hairy boy just now, but I heard that it was only twenty-one...... No! It's twenty-two years old, it's so old and sophisticated, it's slippery, and if the wings are hard, then it's okay! But fortunately, Converse has been able to lead the army, and he has prestige in the army, so he should be able to slowly subdue this kid.

"Hmm...... Heartfelt and commendable! For the sake of your loyalty and filial piety, you will reluctantly embarrass it, and you will write to the court in a few days, and promote you as the history of Yingzhou, as you said, you must be a good person in the future, and you won't say much here, you have other things, let a certain Erlang take you there! After Li Quanzhong finished speaking, he beckoned the maid to step forward to help her get up and go by herself.

Li Kuangyu stepped forward and said with a smile: "Zhuang Dalang! What a gratifying congratulations! My Ah Weng agreed, and this thing is guaranteed to be successful...... I can't imagine that you are a little Ji, and your official addiction is quite big! ”

"Hey...... The younger brother is also chasing ducks to the shelves, forced by the situation! Zhuang Yi said with a wry smile.

"That's right...... Yingzhou is such a big place, although it is deserted, it is also a state, what to do if you don't have an official position! Speaking of which...... The quality of the war horse you gave me last time was not very good! Although the endurance is good, the speed is really not as good as that of the river meander. How about the 500 horses you brought with you this time? If I don't have a good horse, I won't look at it. Li Kuangyu said with a smile.

"It's good that four or five horses have changed hands from the Tatars, and Soma says they are the best Hequ horses, and I can't see it, so why don't we go and see them together?" Zhuang Yi invited with a smile.

"Really? Where? Li Kuangyu suddenly became interested and asked.

"At Zhao Yuanjun's house in Yandufang, it hasn't been sent over yet!"
