Lu Zhixian's elaborate conundrum didn't seem to stump Xu Liang. But there are still side effects. For example, several people who stayed in the Jianchang patrol battalion, Huang Ziren, Xing Zhongshan, Liu Ge, Hu Xiaoyong and others. Although there is a roster of military attachés registered with the Ministry of War as a talisman to protect oneself and prevent them from being ruthlessly driven out of the patrol battalion, Jiang has almost copied the original patrol battalion team, and the grassroots captains have been replaced by his own people.

At the same time, under the pretext of the downsizing of the patrol battalion, the original positions were reduced by one level, and the chief sentry officer, the sentry officer was demoted to the captain, and the captain was demoted to the rank of chief and captain. Jiang Zhunan took the opportunity to promote a deputy patrol envoy again, who should you be? But it was Liu Yuan, the former head of the county yahu.

This made Huang Ziren very angry, and sneered on the spot and said strange things, all the abacus people have changed to dance big knives this year, it's really a mess!

Huang Ziren had a bad time in the patrol camp, so he pulled Xing Zhongshan and others to Xu Liang to complain. Xu Liang originally didn't have any good tricks, and Uncle Gan's admonition is still vivid, for today's plan, if you can endure it, you can endure it.

At that moment, Xu Liang set up a good banquet on the table in Zhiwei Building, comforted a few disgruntled subordinates, and took out some silver taels from the tent as a living allowance for several brothers.

Xu Liang returned to Jianchang County, and a household clerk who had been friends with him greeted him and reported with a strange face: "My lord, the new household owner is waiting for you in your room." ”

Xu Liang was slightly stunned, and then thought that the original head Liu Yuan had changed the court to become the deputy patrol envoy, and the position of the head of the house was empty, but the head of the house had been vacant for less than two days, how could the person in the shortage be in place so quickly?

Moreover, as the official in charge of the household, he didn't know anything in advance? That's a bit excessive!

Xu Liang was also a little angry in his heart, and when he entered the signing room, he saw a middle-aged man about thirty years old sitting in the guest seat in an orderly manner, with a cup of brewed tea on the table, and it seemed that not a drop had moved.

Seeing Xu Liang enter the house, the middle-aged man hurriedly got up and saluted, and his tone was respectful: "Tian Ke, the new head of the subordinate household, has just met Lord County. ”

Xu Liang looked at him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a thin face, a cyan robe seemed to have been changed on purpose, although the color was old, it was clean, and there was a pair of cotton shoes on his feet, and the edges of the shoes were a little rough.

This is a scholar, and most of the time he is still a reader who is not very happy, this is Xu Liang's evaluation of Tian Kegang.

"You are the head of the house, Shi Tian Kegang?"

"It's a subordinate." Tian Kegang reached the ground and bowed very respectfully.

"Hmm." Xu Liang nodded, sat on his main seat, and asked casually: "This official has never seen you in the county office, what did you do before?" ”

"Back to the words of the lord," Tian Kegang bowed his head and replied: "The subordinate was originally a teacher in Hengfeng Town, and he was loved by the county lord, and he was able to take over Lord Liu's errand and receive the errand of the head of the house. ”

"Mr. Teach?" Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, he was still a general specially ordered by Lu Zhixian! I felt very uncomfortable, glanced at it and said: "Since you are a gentleman, you must also be a person who has been reading poetry and books for a long time, why don't you want to get fame and fame, and come to mix with miscellaneous officials?" ”

Tian Kegang's face was embarrassed, and he whispered: "When Wanli was forty-five years old, he was admitted to the county Xiucai...... In the following years, I was ashamed, ashamed, ashamed! ”

This is also expected, Xu Liang will not play a temper with a newly appointed householder, and he is too lazy to talk about it at the moment, waving his hand and saying: "That's it, in the future, work hard in the household, the official will not treat you badly, go down first." ”

"Yes." Tian Kegang answered, looked up and saw Xu Liang squinting slightly and napping, so he gave another salute and retreated with very light steps.

As soon as Tian Ke left, Xu Liang opened his eyes suddenly, looked at the door, pursed his lips, snorted coldly, got up and went out of the signing room, and shouted to the guards waiting outside the door: "Come on, prepare the sedan chair, this official wants to go to Yunshan to supervise the construction of the Wei Gong Ancestral Hall!" ”

A blue sedan chair went out of the main gate of the county government under the ten guards with knives, turned the corner, walked along the bustling street for a while, and then turned the direction and went directly back to Xu Fuli on Dongmen Street.

In the backyard of Xu's house, Feng Suqin was sitting on a chair, covered with a quilt, and was accompanied by Mrs. Feng to enjoy the flowers and fish by the pond. Seeing Xu Liang coming over, he beckoned and smiled: "Why did Xianggong come back so early today?" ”

Xu Liang said with a smile: "Hengzhu is also blocking some people in the county office, so it is better to come back earlier." As he spoke, he walked up to Feng Suqin and looked at a few red carp in the pond, shaking their heads and tails to compete for fish food.

Someone brought a chair, Xu Liang moved, sat next to Feng Suqin, reached out and touched Feng Suqin's forehead, and asked with concern, "How do you feel today?" ”

"It's much better." Feng Suqin chuckled lightly and sighed: "If you want to say that the monk of this Zhenru Temple really has great magical powers, the concubine himself felt hopeless before, and the doctor had no choice, I didn't expect Master Chang Hui to diagnose and treat him, and he gradually got better." Xianggong, we have to thank Master Chang Hui. ”

"That's nature." Xu Liang said, and then said to Mrs. Feng, who was accompanying her to feed the fish food: "Mother, tomorrow I will go up the mountain again to ask Master Chang Hui to go down the mountain for treatment, and when I go, I will also bring some gifts to the mountain, what do you think is appropriate?" ”

Mrs. Feng was very grateful to Master Chang Hui for making her baby daughter's condition improve greatly because Master Chang Hui had greatly improved, and immediately said: "Master Chang Hui is a Buddhist monk, ordinary objects may not be used by people, and it seems too tacky to give silver, well, you have to think about it for your mother," she said and threw the last handful of fish food in her hand into the pool, clapped her hands and said: "You guys rest first, I'll go to the iron butler to see if there are any good things in the house." ”

Old Madam Feng walked for a while, and Feng Suqin raised her head and asked, "Xianggong, these days when the concubine is seriously ill, Liang Ji probably has no one to take care of it, and I don't know what happened to the newly opened Yangjialing Factory?" ”

Xu Liang glanced at her and scolded with a smile: "You, you are a hard worker." Your general manager is sick, don't you still have Xianggong and me, the chairman, you forgot, just those twists and turns you will have were all taught to you by Xianggong back then. ”

Feng Suqin's face was slightly red, and she didn't follow: "People know that Xianggong is capable, but they can't rest assured, no matter how you say it, it's all Xianggong's hard work, wouldn't it be a pity if it fails?" ”

"Heh," Xu Liang pulled Feng Suqin's slender jade hand, patted it and smiled: "Don't worry." Hehe, Xianggong I have quietly accomplished several major things by taking advantage of the east wind of Lu someone's downsizing of the patrol battalion. ”

Xu Liang leaned into Feng Suqin's ear and talked in detail about the use of more than 600 soldiers from the patrol battalion as the team to reorganize the Changche and Horse Company, and arrange for Yan Qi to take people to the surrounding provinces to set up Liang Ji's distribution outlets.

Feng Suqin was surprised and surprised when she heard it, and immediately shouted to see Liang Kee's newly built distribution outlets.

Xu Liang shook his head and smiled: "How can it be so fast, the big day before Tianyan Qi took someone out by boat, this guy probably didn't even reach the ground." Take your time, you can't eat hot tofu if you're in a hurry. ”

"Heh, it's the concubine who is in a hurry." Feng Suqin also covered her mouth and chuckled when she heard this, and then asked: "It's just that Xianggong, isn't it good for your good carriage and horse dealer business to be called a carriage and horse dealer directly?" ”

Xu Liang was very dissatisfied when he heard this, shook his head again and again, looked at Feng Suqin with disdain, and said disdainfully: "How cheesy and ugly the carriage and horse shop sounds, it's just dirty!" How can I have the three words of the world to be high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade? ”

“…… Uh, Xianggong, the atmosphere is easy to understand, what is high-end, high-grade? At this time, Feng Suqin was in good spirits, blinking like a studious baby.

"Oh, high-end, this ...... This is not easy to say, let's put it this way, let's just say that Lu Chengyuan, the county governor of Jianchang, has recently been against your family everywhere, and he has downsized the patrol battalion, and he has taken away Ge Qiao and them, and he has also removed Yan Qi from his position as the head catcher, and recently secretly changed the head of the house, and what is even more annoying is that he is a big man who is not doing anything in the county government, and he hooks up with what is the talk of Nankang Mansion all day long...... Do you say that he Lu someone is not cheap, dirty or dirty? ”

"Cheap, dirty!" Feng Suqin was filled with righteous indignation when she heard this, clenched her fists and said hatefully.

Xu Liang was greatly satisfied, and then pointed to himself and said: "Lu someone is so cheap and scumbag, then as your family and I, who have been fighting hard against the underworld force Lu for a long time, are his opposite, a high-end typical, and a representative of the upper grade...... Do you understand this? ”

Feng Suqin looked at her father-in-law with a smug face in a daze, and nodded: "Understood." ”

"Teachable!" Xu Liang praised.

“…… Messire? Feng Suqin looked at Xu Liang and said.

"Huh?"

"The concubine body was discovered...... You're so thick-skinned......"
