In the eastern suburbs, Lu Fan's house, which originally looked a little dilapidated, had already been repaired and looked brand new at this time.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Lu Fan, Yin Cheng, Shen Lian, Wang Dingan and other old brothers gathered together, eating hot pot and chatting about their plans for the new year.

"The brothers of Beizhen Fusi, are they all arranged?"

Swallowing the steaming mutton in his mouth, Lu Fan asked.

"Don't worry, my lord, the ordinary Tiqi is fifty taels, the small flag is eighty taels, and the total flag is one hundred taels, all of which have been distributed! Those boys, taking the silver, rushed towards Yihong Courtyard and other places with a smile on their faces, it is estimated that they are much happier than us now!"

Yin Cheng said with a smile, speaking of Yihong Courtyard, he turned his head to look at Shen Lian again, and said, "Lord Shen is friendly with a Qing man in Yihong Courtyard, and this time he has received a lot of rewards from adults, don't you plan to redeem her?"

Beizhen Fusi's elite cavalry, except for a few hereditary hundred households and general banners, are mostly recruited by the people all over the country.

Compared with the people in the capital, they are all a group of outsiders who can't afford to buy a house in the land of Beijing.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the folk comparison atmosphere was extremely serious, not only the rich and poor families were extremely hungry, but even the ordinary people were also competing with each other to show off.

Especially in terms of marriage, even if it is an ordinary family in the local area, marrying a wife and a daughter may break the family.

As outsiders, the Beizhen Fusi Tiqi do not have a house in Beijing, and it is almost impossible to marry a daughter-in-law locally.

Even if they have a decent civil service job with a good salary, they are still not welcomed in the wedding market.

It is precisely because of this that most of the horsemen in Beizhen Fusi are bachelors who feed the whole family without hunger, and with the silver in their hands, most of them are spent on Fengyue wine shops, and they rarely save money.

Speaking of the Qing people, Shen Lian's expression was a little gloomy, and then he shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that people like me haven't taken a fancy to me at all. Talented people with beautiful women, people love romantic talents, I am a brocade guard with blood on my body, people are afraid in their hearts, how can they like it!"

Yin Cheng pursed his lips and said, "Lord Shen, let me take the liberty of asking, that Qingqi man, have you ever slept?"

"No!" Shen Lian shook his head, "I really like her in my heart, and I don't want to rely on power to use power!"

"Haha!"

As soon as he said this, everyone, including Lu Fan, laughed, and the not spacious room was suddenly filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

"I can't see that a tough guy like Shen Lian has such a tender side!"

Lu Fan picked up a piece of mutton, dipped it in the sauce, and said with a smile: "But then again, you haven't slept with her, so how do you know she won't fall in love with you?"

"The so-called long-term love has been an eternal truth since ancient times, and simply licking a dog has no future!"

The word licking dog is somewhat novel, but most people can understand the meaning.

In fact, even Yin Cheng didn't understand it, didn't he go to places like Yihong Courtyard just to sleep with his sister, but Lord Shen went there to play something about the two loves, it was really weird.

"That's what the adults said!" Shen Lian's face was slightly red, a little embarrassed, and said: "But I've been with her for a long time, her smile and smile can affect my heart, and I don't want to use force unless it is absolutely necessary!"

Lu Fan shook his head indifferently, after all, it was a personal matter of his subordinates, and he couldn't say too much.

After a few teases, his expression became serious and he got down to business.

"At the beginning of spring after the year, we will leave Beijing!"

Wang Dingan hurriedly asked, "Has it been decided?"

"Eight or nine is not far from ten!" Lu Fan said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that almost none of the courtiers objected, except for Yuan Chonghuan, of course!"

"That Inspector Yuan, who suffered a loss in the hands of Jinyiwei, can be said to hate Jinyiwei, I heard that our Beizhen Fusi intends to go to Liaodong to establish a thousand households, he is strongly opposed!"

"Whether he opposes it or not, the relationship in Liaodong is complicated, and there is already a preliminary tendency to form a warlord, and when we go there, we can't show our hands. ”

Shen Lian and the others looked at Lu Fan eagerly, "Then my lord, where are we going?"

"Xuanfu, Datong Second Town!"

Hearing this, Shen Lian frowned and said, "My lord, Xuanfu Town is just that, the Suning Chamber of Commerce is there, and it will be an important source of financial resources for us in the future, and it should be established to guard the nursing center of thousands of households." But Datong Town, that place, is not easy to treat!"

"Yes, I heard that Datong Town is the territory of Jin merchants, and it has a close relationship with many ministers of the court, so if we go there, it is estimated that there will be trouble!" Yin Cheng also agreed.

"It's okay!"

Lu Fan waved his hand and said with a smile: "The initial plan of this official is to establish five thousand households in each of the two towns, temporarily reclaiming barren land and recruiting displaced people to settle fields, and first collect the population to accumulate food in the early stage, and in a short period of time, there will be no conflict with them!"

"Jinyiwei, after all, there are limitations, it is not convenient enough to train soldiers, the goal of this official is to become the chief soldier of Datong Town, hold the military power, and the town is a place, in the troubled times, this is the way to protect yourself!"

"General soldier?" Yin Cheng and the others' eyes lit up, in this way, these cronies, in the future, wouldn't they be able to mix up as deputy generals, staff generals and the like?

"That's right!" Lu Fan suddenly turned his head, looked at Wang Ding'an beside him, and asked, "Has the list been counted? How many people are willing to leave Beijing with us?"

"Don't worry, my lord, follow my lord during this time, the brothers of Beizhen Fusi are infinitely beautiful, and their humble duties have been arranged, except for dozens of people who have family businesses in the capital to stay on duty at the Jinyi Guard Yamen, the rest of the people are all willing to follow your lord to leave Beijing!"

Lu Fan nodded with satisfaction, this is the advantage of not having a family business, otherwise the horsemen of Beizhen Fusi all have wives and children in the capital, and if they want to take them out of Beijing, it will be difficult!

"After the year, you work hard, count the harvest of our Beizhen Fusi before the year, sort out and load the car in advance, and when the weather gets warmer, we will start the army!"

A few years ago, for the suppression and arrest of the remnants of the eunuch party, Beizhen Fusi made enough oil and water, in addition to setting aside a part of it to be charged to the treasury, he also intercepted a lot of property, which will be an important starting fund for Lu Fan to reclaim wasteland and recruit displaced people!

"Don't worry, my lord, it's just that this is not a small fortune, when we drive out of the capital in a car, will it be too eye-catching, causing the greed of the court officials?"

Lu Fan waved his hand and sneered: "Now the government and the opposition are looking forward to us leaving early, who dares to interfere with our Jinyiwei's money?"
