Prefect's yamen, guest rooms. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Lord Xu, Uncle Kang, good morning, boy Hua Shen has seen two adults."

Hua Shen clasped his fists at the two adults and bowed, and said.

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew doesn't need to be polite, please get up quickly."

Master Kang put down the teacup in his hand and helped Hua Shenxu with a smile.

"You kid, although I don't have much to do with you, but normally, if you have nothing to do, it is basically unlikely that you will come to see our two old fellows, say, why are you here today?"

This Lord Xu has a good impression of Hua Shen, so it is a lot more casual to talk to him.

How thick is Hua Shen's skin? How could he be red because of this Lord Xu's words, and immediately waved his hand and shook his head and said with a smile:

"Lord Xu, don't make fun of the kid, you two adults are busy with daily official business, how dare the kid come to disturb if he has nothing to do?"

When Lord Kang heard Hua Shen say this, he almost couldn't help laughing, this kid reacted quickly, and pushed his fault for not coming to the meeting in a word, it seems that if he didn't come to this matter, he had to blame him and this Lord Xu.

After listening to Hua Shen's words, Lord Xu laughed and said:

"No matter what you kid says, you must have something to do when you come here today, so you don't want to go around in circles with me, just say it directly."

Hua Shen did not change the smile on his face, but secretly slandered in his stomach, these two old goods, worthy of the old fritters who have been floating in the sea for decades, the eyes are thieves and thieves, and they haven't said anything, this old man guessed that he must have something to ask for before he came to visit.

That's right, after Hua Shen explained the previous matters with Lu Dayou yesterday, he was thinking about the status of the 100 or so people under his command, as the saying goes, if the name is not right, then the word is not good, if he does not go through the government, he will privately arm a musket team of more than 100 people, once it is exposed in the future, it will definitely be a big trouble for him, and he will have to lose his head if he doesn't do it.

For example, if someone has a heart to charge him with a private soldier and an intention to rebel, then he is afraid that his head will not be able to be properly saved, after all, any emperor is very sensitive to the issue of the army and military power, and he does not dare to take the risk to do this thing that is obviously likely to lose his head.

The only way is to turn his own personal guard into an official government, so that this guard will become a reasonable and legal official army, and no one can find fault with it, but what must be ensured is his absolute command of this guard.

"Lord Xu's eyes are like torches, the kid doesn't dare to deceive, the kid came here today, and he really has some questions that he wants to discuss with the two adults."

Hua Shen straightened his attitude, put on a smiling face, and talked to the two adults very formally.

"You kid, if you have something to say, as long as it is reasonable and legal, the two of us will consider it at our discretion."

This Lord Xu is also a good person, and before Hua Shen clearly stated his requirements, he didn't dare to agree lightly, lest he say something difficult, and Lord Kang just nodded in agreement, now that Lord Xu is here, he can't afford to be the master, let alone promise Hua Shen anything before this Lord Xu.

"The kid just came out of the ravine, and some things are still not clear, so I want to ask the two adults some questions first, can you?"

This Lord Xu saw that Hua Shen couldn't get to the point, and he didn't feel comfortable in his heart, so he bluffed and said to him:

"You kid has a lot of nonsense, if you want to ask, why do you have so much nonsense."

Hua Shen got up and took a few steps in the guest room before asking:

"I have a militia department in the Ming Dynasty, and this department recruits more villagers and young people to supplement the source of soldiers, I don't know if what the kid said is right?"

"Not bad."

Master Kang and Master Xu nodded at the same time and replied.

"At the same time, this militia of my Ming Dynasty has always had a tradition of homeless people joining the army, I wonder if this is indeed the case?"

Hua Shen then asked.

"Yes, this is also a measure to prevent the displaced people from rioting."

Master Kang and Master Xu nodded in sync again.

After hearing the affirmative answers of these two adults, a smile flashed on Hua Shen's face, and he spoke again:

"Lord Xu, Lord Kang, the boy has inherited the love of the two adults in these days, and assigned more than a dozen government service soldiers to take care of my home and care for me, but the investigation of this Jinling Ming Sect is also at a critical moment, if these government service soldiers are staying in my house every day and can't share the worries of the two adults, the kid's heart is extremely unhappy, so I want to ask the two adults to transfer these people back to the Yamen, in order to add a little strength to the pursuit of the Ming Sect."

After Lord Xu and Governor Kang heard what he said, they both glanced at each other, and after a moment of silence, Governor Kang first opened his mouth and said to Hua Shen:

"There is no problem in transferring them back to the Yamen, and our current manpower is indeed a little insufficient, if we transfer them back, it will be of great help to track down those Ming Sects, but if I transfer them back, then how should I deal with your safety?"

Hua Shen smiled secretly, this sentence, I'm not afraid that you will ask, I am afraid that you will not ask!

Therefore, he no longer hesitated, and said directly:

"I found some homeless people in the surrounding area some time ago, and I want to use them as a nursing home after practicing them, so that I am still in the protection, and the two adults can send more people to track down those Ming Sects."

"Then I don't know how many of those homeless people are found by the virtuous nephew?"

As a member of the local party, since the matter involves the resettlement of displaced people and the issue of the private armed guard, he has to personally inquire about it, and it is difficult for Lord Xu to interfere in this matter.

"Uh... A hundred or ten. ”

Hua Shen whispered a little embarrassed, after all, this number is a little too much.

"Huh? How much? A hundred or ten? That's too much, right? ”

Kang Zhifu almost squirted out the tea he had just drunk, and he couldn't stop slandering in his heart, okay, you Huashen, even if you want to find some guards for yourself, but there are too many people, right? These hundred or so people will be equal to the number of people in one hundred households.

However, after listening to his words, Lord Xu glanced at him with a slightly meaningful look, and then asked with a faint smile:

"You kid, don't you want to put these homeless people in the name of a militia?"

Hua Shen didn't say anything, just looked at Lord Xu and smiled, that demeanor was clearly telling Lord Xu - congratulations, you guessed right! It's a pity, there is no prize!
