Chapter 70: The Captain

Li Qin silently thought in his heart: "Brother-in-law and brother-in-law are cheeky! When I thought of Jia Xu, the thickness of his skin was also increasing rapidly, after quickly thickening his skin. He said, "Master Zhang......"

"Call our brother Zhang, we are our own people!" Zhang Jiu didn't want to listen to Li Qin call him Brother Zhang just now, but now he took the initiative to ask.

Li Qin hurriedly said again: "Brother Zhang." Brother's official is a little smaller, you happen to be in Fuping, see if you can help me get a liter? "Just open your mouth to ask for an official, since it's your own person, you don't have to be polite.

Zhang Jiu thought for a while, shook his head and said: "It's not proper, if our family arranges a position for you now, it will be necessary to squeeze out others, then it will offend people, and it will not be conducive to your development in Fuping." "He is now starting to think about how to protect Li Qin, when he is here, he said that once he leaves, others will crowd out Li Qin, then Li Qin will be uncomfortable.

Zhang Jiu said again: "Li Lang, don't be angry, it's not that our family doesn't help, but it's not good to help now." If our family asks for an official position from Tang Kai for you now, it will be tantamount to telling others that you are our person, and if you can't keep the secret, you won't be able to be a surprise soldier, and you won't be able to win by surprise. ”

Li Qin nodded and said, "Brother Zhang has thought for a long time, and my brother can't think it through." He slapped a sycophant on the back.

Everyone loves to listen to sycophants, and Zhang Jiu is no exception. He said with a smile: "When our family was in Beijing, we also learned a few ways to be officials, which can be regarded as hearsay." When the official wants the black pot to be carried by others, the benefits fall into his own pocket, so you still have to get along with him with this soup suite, and when you get benefits, let him get some points, the tougher his body, the bigger the black pot he will carry at that time, is this reason? ”

Li Qin laughed dryly twice and said, "That's embarrassing!" ”

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, let's look at him to you, and it's not bad!" Zhang Jiu said again: "If you want to serve the people in our palace, then the military marquis is too small, at least you have to be a captain, you don't go up to the level of colonel captain, you don't have this qualification, you can't go up to other steps!" It's easy for you to be a captain, how can you let others not know that you are our person, you have to make a detour, we have an idea, let's refer to it in detail. ”

Li Qin said: "Brother Zhang, please speak." ”

Zhang Jiu said his idea. The situation of Beidi County is special, Fuping County used to be the first county, that is, the county office, but because of the three moves of Fuping, the rich households moved south with the county guard, and went out of Beidi County to build a new Fuping County, and now Beidi County is the old Fuping. Lao Fuping is naturally not the first county, and the county guard of Beidi County is not on the actual soil of this county, in other words, Beidi County does not have a county guard now, but the county autonomy.

After Zhang Jiu returned to Beijing, he asked Zhang Rang to upgrade Fuping County to the first county, so Tang Jie became the justifiable first county magistrate, which was equivalent to a promotion and nominal benefits. As soon as the county seat is upgraded, the size of the army will of course also be upgraded, and the benefits will fall on Li Qin's head, which is not a nominal benefit, but a real benefit.

Fuping originally had only one soldier, and the military Sima was served by Tang Ren. If it is expanded, it can only add more departments, and this will have to produce a captain, which will definitely not be Tang Ren's turn, it can only be Li Qin, and Li Qin will become a captain.

There is a note in the Book of Han: The school is called the barracks, so it is said that a part of the army is a school. The army of one is the bottom line of the captain leading the army, but the captain has the right to recruit soldiers, and can expand the army to five, of course, there is generally no captain who takes the initiative to expand the army in non-war times, which will cause a big increase in military spending, but once there is a war, the captain will be terrible.

After finishing his idea, Zhang Jiu smiled and said: "Tang Jie, because you have benefited, our family will hint at him again, and the position of captain can only be given to you, and this matter will be done." At that time, you became the only captain in Northland County, so wouldn't this Northland County be from our palace! ”

Li Qin hurriedly showed a happy expression and thanked him.

Zhang Jiu said a few more words to him, and then said, "Call Tang Jie in, let's call him." Also, our family doesn't plan to stay here for long, and we have to leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so you must not come to see our family again before leaving. Don't get me wrong, getting too close to the people in the palace is not good for your reputation, our family is protecting you, understand? ”

Li Qin got up and said: "I understand, Brother Zhang is thinking about his brother, how can my brother not understand!" ”

Zhang Jiu said again: "Regarding the matter of materials, it will be transferred from the capital to the end of summer, and when our family goes back, we will pass by Longxian, and let the assassin Shi transfer a batch to Fuping, and then hint at it, and use it on you, but you also have to expand your strength quickly, don't wait for the promotion documents to arrive, and you will recruit again, it will be too delayed!" ”

Li Qin hurriedly said: "Brother go back and immediately recruit and expand, Brother Zhang can rest assured!" He stepped forward and covered the two treasures with a red cloth, and then opened the gate and went out, calling in Yusuke, who was circling in the yard, and closed the door again.

Tang Jie entered the room and sat down, and listened to Zhang Jiu say: "Tang County Order, originally our family came to find you this time, but Li Qin is sensible, and he handed over filial piety for you, and it will be forgotten if he offends our family, and our family will not care about him, but what ......about it?"

After listening to the words, Tang Jie was pleasantly surprised, he never thought that this great disaster would end like this, it was really beyond his expectations, not only did he not suffer, but he also wanted to become the lord of the first county, this is all borrowed from Li Qin's strength, stained with Li Qin's light, Li Qin is really a blessing!

When Li Qin arrived in the courtyard, Jia Xu immediately greeted him, pulled him to a secluded corner, and asked in a low voice, "Is it still going well?" ”

Li Qin smiled and nodded: "If Fuping wants to be promoted to the first county, guess what I will do?" ”

Jia Xu was slightly stunned, then ecstatic, and he whispered: "Could it be that you have been promised the position of school captain?" Then you're going to become the tallest officer in Northlands! ”

When there is no great chaos in the world, the school captains are all a radish and a pit, there is no superfluity, and when there are soldiers in the hands of some school captains, they often abolish the county guard and control the power of the county, but when the chaos is in chaos, the official positions begin to be chaotic, and the school captains will be too many to count, and they can seal themselves.

Li Qin said: "There are also big and small school captains, and I should be the smallest, and I can't compare with the captain of Huqiang and the captain of Sili!" ”

Jia Xu said with a smile: "I am not satisfied, if you recruit troops according to the maximum amount, 2,000 soldiers, plus 60% of auxiliary soldiers, but more than 3,000 people, and then control the soldiers and horses in each county, tens of thousands of people pull out, you can go north to attack the Huns!" ”

Li Qin sighed and said, "But I always feel that it's not good to follow the path of the Ten Permanent Servants!" ”

Jia Xu's face sank, and he said: "Ah Qin, as a brother-in-law, I have to say two words about you, you are pedantic, you said that it is not good to take the door of the ten permanent servants, so it is good to take the door of the ten permanent servants?" They're dog-eat-dog, and none of them are good! You're nothing now, and if you go the way you go, he won't care about you at all, you're still nothing. But apart from these two groups, no one else has a way to let you go, except for them in the court, everyone else has to stand aside, you take the way of standing aside...... You've eaten and hugged! ”

After a pause, Jia Xu said again: "I know what you think in your heart, because you are afraid of damaging your reputation, right?" Don't worry about this, when your power grows, you don't need these eunuchs, you just say that at the beginning, for the sake of the common people in the world, for the people, so you can only be with the eunuchs and grievances, wronged, condemned by conscience, wronged, and misunderstood by the world, but now you have decided to ...... for the foundation of the Han Dynasty and for the emperor."

Li Qin couldn't help but grin and said, "How embarrassing this is!" "He's embarrassed tonight. Although he knew that Jia Xu was the first poisoner in the Three Kingdoms, this trick of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge was also a little ruthless, and he calculated all the bones and scum of the ten permanent servants!

"Don't be embarrassed!" Jia Xu also said this, "When our power develops to the point where the eunuchs are afraid, will they be embarrassed when they press you and fix you?" Listen to my brother-in-law, that's right! ”

Li Qin nodded slowly and didn't say anything else.

At this time, the door opened, and Yusuke came out. It seemed that Tang Jie was very excited, he shouted loudly, asking Yu Linjun to go in and serve Zhang Jiu, and he looked around for Li Qin.

Seeing this, Li Qin hurriedly flashed out of the corner and walked over.

Tang Jieqiang calmed down, took Li Qin's hand, and said, "Li Lang, tonight's matter, the official is grateful to you, don't say anything else, let's tacitly do it." By the way, isn't there a shortage of materials for you to build a fort, and the officials didn't assign the income from the last bandits...... Alas, during this time, I was thinking about the people coming to Beijing, and I didn't care about anything else. All those supplies are given to you, as well as the two thousand catties of pig iron, you can also take them together! Zhang Zhongguan's matter is solved, and the official's heart is also put down! ”

He spoke upside down, apparently pretending to be calm on the surface, but in fact he was very excited in the depths of his heart.

Li Qin naturally thanked him repeatedly, and his mood began to get excited, nothing else, but pig iron was a very important thing.

Tang Jie felt that he was a little out of shape, and straightened his expression, he said: "It's getting late, you take the people out of the city, so many people stay in the city, there are many inconveniences, it's better to take them out of the city, the official will explain, the city gate will be opened for you twice tonight!" ”

After Li Qin thanked him, he led Jia Xu out of the county government and led the people out of the city together.

On the way, Li Qin told his subordinates about tonight's incident, and everyone was pleasantly surprised, Li Qin was about to be promoted, which means that they are also about to be promoted, can they not be surprised.

Jia Xu called Meng Mu over and said, "Li Lang, what happened to Meng Tunchang, you see ......."

Li Qin immediately clasped his fists at Meng Mu and said, "Uncle Meng, tonight's incident is thanks to you." If you'd like to, how about coming to Fort Fujiao? The position of military commander will be done by you! "Meng Mu is his old boss, and tonight is so interesting, no matter what, he has to arrange a good position.

Meng Mu was overjoyed, and his hanging heart finally let go.

The five horn-raising soldiers all thought in their hearts: "Shi Chang's old boss has a position, so what about our old subordinates, we should all be able to be the tun chief, and there will be a position of military marquis, who should be in charge?" "It's all starting to add up.
