A guerrilla arrived in a hurry with his men, turned over and dismounted at the gate of the house, and was about to walk towards the gate of the house, when he found that the sergeants standing at the door were different from the ones in his memory, but one by one, despite the cold wind howling, they all held the handle of the knife and stood straight, which made people feel a sense of elite energy.

He paused, and was thinking about things when another sound of horses' hooves sounded, and another general arrived at the gate of the mansion, and the war horse was led away by his own men.

Seeing that it was an acquaintance, the guerrilla greeted him and whispered: "Look, this can't be the new Lord Zhongcheng who is going to give him a horse, right?" ”

The deputy general, who was one level higher than him, looked at it when he heard it, and replied in a low voice: "These soldiers have all seen blood on the battlefield, and Lord Zhongcheng has a good way of governing the army, so he has this military appearance." ”

After finishing speaking, he sorted out his helmet and armor, and at the same time reminded the guerrillas: "Our new Lord Zhongcheng is not something that can be fooled casually, be careful not to catch him in the fault to establish his authority!" ”

After finishing speaking, his appearance was almost tidied up, so he quickened his pace and hurried inside.

The guerrillas were reminded and hurriedly sorted out their appearance. He had never met Hong Chengchou, but he had also heard that this weak scholar had earned the credit and reputation of leading troops to suppress bandits, so he had the official position of governor. Such a person cannot be careless!

When the guerrillas hurried to the lobby, they found that everyone was almost there. The generals stood there in their respective positions, whispering to each other.

He quickly stood in his place, and began to look around. found that the place where Sun Zongbing was originally standing, there was also a person standing, and it should also be the new official, Wu Zimian, the chief soldier of Yansui.

Look at him like that, standing up straight and not talking to anyone else. It's as if Lord Zhongcheng is in the hall. Unlike the previous Sun Zongbing, when Zhongcheng was not there, he could still chat with everyone, showing that he was approachable.

After looking at it for a while, he also went to whisper to his familiar colleagues to inquire about the news, and before he knew it. A loud shout rang out: "Lord Zhongcheng has arrived!" ”

With this voice, footsteps came from the back hall, and first several elite guards stepped out of the back hall, lined up on both sides. Then there is the main lord, the new governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, wearing a red official robe, with a serious face, walked to the main seat.

"The last general will see Lord Zhongcheng!" A group of generals, under the leadership of the general army of Yansui, consciously saluted together in the sound of armor colliding.

There is no such thing as politeness as imagined. Hong Chengchou didn't sit down, just stood in his seat, scanning the generals in front of him who bowed their heads and clasped their fists and saluted.

After a long while, he said slowly: "In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the victims are everywhere, and the chaotic people have gathered. How did the former Yansui general die, and why did the former governor of Yansui go to work. You should be clear. ”

Hearing him say this, there were a few generals who secretly looked up to check the movement. Quickly lower your head and maintain a respectful posture, so as not to get into trouble and become the unlucky chicken.

"This official has been in Qin for many years, and it is clear what kind of ways you have. The official tells you bluntly that this official position is what the official has been looking forward to for a long time. I don't want to follow in the footsteps of my predecessor. If anyone gets in the way of the official, don't blame the official for being polite! ”

Hong Chengchou did not have the style of an ordinary civil official at all, he knew that in the face of these martial artists, it was better to go straight. Get straight to the point. The bottom line is laid out, if anyone dares to disobey, don't blame yourself for being ruthless!

This kind of unusual opening remarks made the generals present know that the new governor is really not good. My heart was tight, and I didn't dare to come out.

It was only then that Hong Chengchou let them excuse themselves and sat in his position. After glancing at the generals present, Hong Chengchou's gloomy voice sounded again: "As long as you can listen to the orders of this official and sincerely do things for this official, this official will not block your financial path, do you know what to expect?" ”

If you are naked, you don't even have a chance to be sloppy. Since this is so straightforward, no general dares to pretend to be high, and immediately responded together.

When Hong Chengchou saw it, his tone was a little softer, and he was not so cold, but he still didn't smile and said: "It's an eventful time now, so the empty salary of each department cannot exceed 20%, and the number of family members must not be less than 3......0%.

As soon as he said this, no matter how powerful he was, it still caused the movement of many generals below. The empty salary can't exceed 20%, so what can you do to support so many families, isn't this killing them?

Hong Chengchou naturally saw all the reactions below, his heart was full of disdain, and he continued to set his own rules: "After a while, the official will demarcate the defense area, if you can't pacify the chaos in the defense area beyond the specified time, don't blame the official for being polite!" ”

The boss of the generals, Wu Zimian, the chief soldier of Yansui, just stood quietly and did not speak. But the other generals couldn't help it, and after making eye contact with each other, an old lieutenant general took a step forward, clenched his fists and shouted to Hong Chengchou: "Zhongcheng, dare to ask if the arrears of wages over the years can be made up, and whether the military salaries can be paid in full this time?" ”

These generals are thinking that the new Zhongcheng used to supervise the grain road and participate in politics, so if he didn't do well, he would keep a hand and be able to make up for everyone's military salary, and because of this, he had the confidence to say this, right?

Who knew that Hong Chengchou's reply was beyond their expectations, and they only heard him reply: "The imperial court is not rich, and after the handover of this official, there is no military salary in the treasury." ”

"This ......" The generals were dumbfounded, could it be that you, the new governor, want the horses to run and not eat grass?

Thinking of this, some generals are angry, don't think that the big guys are all mud, you can pinch them at will!

However, Hong Chengchou's next words made them overjoyed, and they only heard him slowly announce: "The officials only take 10% of the income from the suppression of bandits, and the rest of the income will be subsidized by the ministries and will not be asked." ”

As soon as his words fell, the generals began to disbelieve it, and the hall was quiet, without a sound. After a while, looking at Hong Chengchou's serious face, they realized that this was true.

"Thank you, my lord, the last general dares to die without his life!" Wu Zimian, the new commander-in-chief of Yansui, was silent, but at this time he was the first to stand up and express his position.

When the other generals saw it, they also hurriedly followed, and patted their chests with confidence.

It is said that civil officials love money, but this governor is really different! The generals thought that he was just taking one percent, and with this amount of money, it was estimated that he could only support the governor's guard battalion directly under him, and he couldn't afford to lose a little money!

The previous governors were different, they all didn't work, they only took money, and they had to take a big head. If it's okay in office, it's fattening; Even if there is something, just take out some of the money you have earned and take it out, and it will be basically fine, what a good calculation.

They think so, but Hong Chengchou is not a fool, he is just more shrewd! (To be continued.) )
