Chapter 18 Concurrently serving as a Tunpu officer

Before the banquet, Xu Zhongjun also understood the mood of Wang Dou and the others, and asked them to go down and change their official clothes.

Wang Dou is the actual general flag, at this time he is already equipped with a copper and wood waist plate around his waist, and the official clothes of the general flag are also embroidered with biao patterns, and he is wearing cowhide official boots under his feet. Han Dynasty, although Han Zhong and Han Zhong signed the general flag, they still wore official clothes with Qi Tianliang and Gao Shiyin, with rhinoceros ornamentation, and hard boots on their feet.

In addition to Wang Dou and Han Chaohui being calmer, Han Zhong, Qi Tianliang, and Gao Shiyin inevitably have no official authority, Han Zhong's body twisted left and right, and he always felt that the official clothes on his body were a little uncomfortable, Qi Tianliang smiled and looked straight at the body, Gao Shiyin kept throwing the silver in his hand, cracking his mouth and laughing, but his face was full of meat, and the smile was a little hideous.

Wang Dou glanced at him with a smile, just as Gao Shiyin also looked at Wang Dou, and when he came into contact with Wang Dou's gaze, Gao Shiyin's face was stunned, he coughed lightly, and turned his head.

Among the few people who were born and died that day, the three of Han and Chao had clearly expressed their intention to take refuge in Wang Dou, especially after what had just happened, the three of them looked more respectful. Only Gao Shiyin's attitude is unclear, perhaps because he couldn't put down his face after being beaten by Wang Dou that day. Wang Dou also ignored Gao Shiyin's thoughts for the time being.

Seeing that everyone had changed into official clothes, Wang Dou said: "Okay, the master of the team has already set up a banquet, let's go, so as not to make Shangguan wait for a long time." ”

Seeing Wang Dou say this, several people went out of the side room, and Han Chao also took the package he changed for Wang Dou, and everyone came to the official hall again.

Seeing the new appearance of Wang Dou and the others, Xu Zhongjun and several people looked at him with appreciation, and Wang Dou saw Xu Zhongjun and the others again with an official salute, claiming to be humble, kneeling and bowing.

Xu Zhongjun laughed and helped Wang Dou up, saying that everyone is a colleague and there is no need to be too restrained.

……

Everyone was seated, with a big official like Xu Zhongjun in front, everyone was a little cautious, not to mention that Qi Tianliang didn't dare to gobble it up anymore, even Zhang Gui was always careful, sometimes Xu Zhongjun praised him, and his face was full of flattered joy.

Xu Zhongjun is the new appoint, and naturally he also wants to make some achievements, maybe he can go further in the future, but although he is ambitious, it is difficult to make achievements with the current situation in the Tuntian.

He looked at Zhang Gui expectantly: "Lao Zhang, can you raise the grain grains in your fort again next year?" ”

Zhang Gui's face showed a sad color: "Right now, the fields are dry, and the military families are fleeing...... However, Lord Xu said this, and the lower officials should do their best. ”

Xu Zhongjun looked at Zhang Gui with a dissatisfied look in his eyes.

Shunxiang Fort is located in the security guard left thousand households, is regarded as a relatively barren place in the six thousand households of the security guard, during the Hongzhi period, there were 51 official households, more than 1,540 military households, there are more than 70 tilts of tun fields, more than 900 stones of grain every year, more than 400 catties of poplar firewood, more than 1,000 bundles of grass. Zhang Gui's Dongjiazhuang Tun grain field is considered to be a relatively good land in the area of Shunxiangbao, and the annual grain payment accounts for nearly half.

However, it was already a matter of the Hongzhi period, and now in Chongzhen, not to mention that there are not more than 1,000 families left in the entire Shunxiangbao military household, it is the officers who occupy the fertile land, transfer the fields, and the abandonment of the fields caused by drought, etc., all make it more and more difficult to collect the grain in the station, and the same is true of Dongjiazhuang.

In fact, like other guards in the Ming Dynasty, there are many reasons for the abandonment of Shunxiangbao Tuntian, but the responsibility of local officers should be counted as more than half, not to mention Dongjiazhuang, that is, in the entire territory of Shunxiangbao, how much fertile land has been occupied by Xu Zhongjun and other officers at all levels?

Looking at Xu Zhongjun's face, Zhang Gui was a little uneasy, but he didn't dare to boast about Haikou, with Xu Zhongjun's temperament, if he couldn't complete the task of storing grain, it would be miserable. He understands Xu Zhongjun, he has been suppressed for too long, and he always wants to do something to prove himself, saying that he is ambitious if it sounds good, and ambitious if it is ugly.

The atmosphere in the banquet was a little silent for a while, only the tapping of Xu Zhongjun's fingers on the table! Far as Cao Cao, as close as Ming Taizu, all started with military tun, especially Ming Taizu, who fed millions of soldiers without spending a penny on the people, relying on the guard tuntian.

The ancestors were in front of Zhuyu, and now as the general banner, he is qualified to manage the tuntian, and now he has this opportunity, how can he not work hard to seize it? The drudgery in the eyes of others is replaced by him, but it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Of course, the management of the tuntian, the difficulty is also very great, now the military households of the guard are constantly fleeing, tuntian, the need for young and strong population, the reclamation and management of land, the need for money and grain, these are the problems that Wang Dou needs to overcome in the future! The difficulties are great, but the prospects are equally good, and Wang Dou will not give up.

Of course, Xu Zhongjun didn't understand what Wang Dou was thinking, he just sighed, it was rare to have a person who understood and voluntarily came out to solve problems for Shangguan.

He looked at Wang Dou for a long time and sighed: "Wang Dou, you have this mind, it's really commendable. ”

Zhang Gui was also very happy, as soon as Wang Dou came out like this, he successfully diverted Xu Zhongjun's attention to himself before, and Wang Dou said this, as a direct official, his face was also very bright.

And to be honest, if Wang Dou can do a good job of tuntian in the future, it will also be very beneficial to him. At present, most of the young men and men of the Daming Guard Station have been selected to serve as soldiers, and the officers and men of the garrison like them have actually very few opportunities to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions.

Followed by Xu Zhongjun, Zhang Gui immediately asked: "Brother Wang has such a mind, it is indeed commendable, let's say, there are three tunbao under Dongjiazhuang, which fort are you willing to go to?" ”

When the opportunity arrived, Wang Douqiang couldn't bear the joy in his heart, and he said calmly: "There is a lot of wasteland along the Dongfang River in Jingbiandun, and I am willing to recruit the military and civilians to reclaim it and build a new fort!" ”

Jokes, there are many disadvantages in each Tunbao in Shunxiang Fort, rather than wasting your mental energy there, it is better to start from scratch! Wang Dou has always thought that he is a big husband, how can a big husband not have a position of power? In his previous life, he was keen on power, and after he arrived in the Ming Dynasty, this kind of thought became even more eager, and now that he has finally reached the first step towards his goal, how can he not be happy?

The sunset on the horizon is shining, and the mountains and rivers are magnificent!

*, leading countless heroes to bend their waists!

Wang Dou couldn't help but feel his heart surge, he jumped off his horse and rushed to a hill in front of him, shouting and howling on the mountain, singing freely back and forth.

Han Zhong and the others shouted at the bottom of the slope.

Xie Xiuniang looked at Wang Dou from a distance, and her little heart was also full of joy.
