Wukara Province is located in the southwest of the Great Shang Empire, closely connected with the Anbang Province to which the Iron Shield Fortress belongs, hilly terrain, the local economy depends on plantations, and the main big family forces are the Deng family, the Bai family, and the Qin family, among which the Bai family is the most powerful.

Like the other provinces, the governor of the province of Ukara was nominally the highest, but had no real power, economic, tax, The governor sent by the imperial capital is a puppet in the eyes of the three major families, Huang Fei's previous governor Hai'an, when the Simon Republic invaded, strongly asked the three major families to send troops, and the three families were forced to jointly dispatch more than 100,000 troops under pressure, but the army of the three major families was only out of the city for less than five miles, and the news that Hai'an was seriously ill and died came out of the city, and the 100,000 army immediately went back under the banner of taking care of Hai'an's funeral。

Hai'an, who was still alive in the morning, died of a serious illness at noon, and a clear-eyed person knew what was going on at a glance, but he couldn't catch any handles.

The attendants and cooks who took care of Hai'an's daily life, including healers, escorts, coroners, and law judges, were all members of the three major families, and even if the imperial capital sent people to investigate, they could only return in vain.

In front of the Governor's Palace, there were a few soldiers standing in the distance, yawning, their uniforms were patched, and the spears in their hands were rusted.

"Hey, you know, I heard that the new governor is an officer. ”

"What's wrong with the officer, even Yang Ji himself came over, even a dragon has to be coiled, and a tiger has to lie down......"

"Wang Heng, you know a fart, I mean that the new governor is going to be unlucky again, the people who came out of the army must have a strong personality, even the docile character of our predecessor Hai'an was ...... by those three families"

"Xiao Shan, what you said is right, I hope that this time the new master can be more low-key, and those of us below can also have a better life. ”

"What are you talking nonsense, people like us who don't belong to the three major families, it's good to be able to eat a full stomach, don't eat the life of turnips, the tiger's heart. ”

While a few soldiers were talking, a young man came from a distance, carrying a blanket on his shoulders and leading a horse, and walked to the door of the governor's palace, and he asked the soldiers very politely.

"Excuse me, is this the Governor's Palace?"

"See for yourself," the soldier named Wang Heng glanced at the young man and pointed with his hand to a tattered plaque erected next to the stone lion in front of the door.

The plaque he was referring to had been broken in half, and the handwriting on it had lost its color because of too much time, but the word "house" in the "Governor's Palace" was half of it, and only the word "factory" was displayed.

The young man frowned, raised his leg and was about to enter, but was stopped by two soldiers.

"Little brother, you can't go in, you're from out of town. ”

The young man nodded confusedly.

"Our new master hasn't come yet, and even if he comes, you can't solve any problems if you want to find him, if you are in a hurry, my brother will show you the way, but you see that my brother is so hard, you have to ...... much" Xiao Shan made a gesture with his hand to count the money.

"Oh" Huang Fei smiled, he didn't expect that the first time he took office in the Governor's Mansion today, he was stopped by the soldiers of his own Governor's Mansion for the first time.

He casually took a handful of gold coins from the backpack on his shoulder and handed it over.

And those soldiers were stunned when they saw Huang Fei take out a handful of gold coins, no one dared to take them, a person like him who could take out these gold coins at will could not be just an ordinary person.

There is some money they can collect, and some money that they don't dare to collect even if you ask them to collect it.

"Little brother, are you from the Deng family?"

"It's not. ”

"Then you are the Qin family?"

"Not really. ”

"Ah, then are you from the Bai family. ”

"I'm the Huang family. ”

Royal, several soldiers immediately stopped, especially Wang Heng, who was already kneeling on the ground with weak legs, and his action also led other soldiers, and several people in front of the governor's palace knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowing violently.

"I didn't know that His Royal Highness the prince had arrived, please atone for your sins......"

"What are you doing here, I said that my surname is Huang, not a prince. Huang Fei said with a grin.

As soon as several people heard Huang's words, they immediately got up from the ground in a huff, Wang Heng was angry in his heart, and snatched the gold coin from Huang Fei's hand, "Boy, this is the price that the uncle will kowtow to you, if you are okay, get out of here." ”

"However, how can I leave before I finish my business. ”

Wang Heng and a few soldiers in Xiao Shan, you look at me, I look at you, I can't help laughing loudly, especially Xiao Shan, tears of laughter flowed out, he pointed at Huang Fei with his finger, out of breath.

Huang Fei glanced at Xiao Shan's patched military uniform. When he had laughed enough, he asked, "Is it because I'm laughing too high?" I don't know what's funny about what I just said. ”

"Dude", Xiao Shan stepped forward and patted Huang Fei on the shoulder, "Since the brothers have taken your money, they have to do something for you, to be honest, it is really useless for you to come to this governor's mansion, Wang Heng has already said just now, the new governor has not yet come, and even if he comes, you can't solve any problems if you want to find him, if you have something to do, you can only go to the Deng family, the Qin family or the Bai family." ”

"Why?"

"Why? Because only these three families say what they say in this province of Ukara, and in this Huyan City, these three families will stomp their feet, and the ground will tremble. ”

Huang Fei nodded thoughtfully and walked into the mansion.

"What a tough seed. Xiao Shan sighed, these soldiers did not stop them, they had already said what they had to say.

A few soldiers picked up their spears and continued to wait at the door for the arrival of the new governor, but the conversation had changed from the new governor to where to drink today.

After a while, a soldier hurriedly ran out of the house,

"Hey, you guys, the Governor has called you over to discuss something. ”

Wang Heng glanced at the soldier, "Zhao Tuo, don't make fun of the brothers, the brothers are standing at this gate, and they don't even see the shadow of the new governor's convoy, and the flies can't fly over." ”

"You can pull it down, and brag, anyway, I don't care about you, I've been notified, it's a matter of a few of you whether to go or not, I'll go first." ”

Wang Heng and several soldiers of Xiaoshan looked at each other, no, could it be that the new governor went through the back door.

The soldiers walked to the governor's hall full of doubts, and many soldiers had gathered in the middle hall, and the scene was noisy and talking, these soldiers were like them, and their military uniforms were also tattered.

Wang Heng glanced at the young man who was sitting in the governor's seat, and couldn't help but be stunned, this new governor turned out to be the young man he had just met at the door, and he actually took the benefits from him, cold sweat immediately broke out on Wang Heng's forehead, he walked over tremblingly, and put the gold coins in his pocket on the table.

"Master, the villain has eyes and ignores Mount Tai, and has offended you, please punish me, and don't embarrass my brothers. ”

The soldiers who came with Wang Heng saw Wang Heng doing this, and stepped forward one after another, "Master, we have no choice, since the death of Master Hai'an, we have never paid a salary." ”

This remark immediately provoked a huge reaction among the other soldiers.

"Yes, I haven't been paid for months, and my wife has run away. ”

"Master, you're here, when will you make up for the previous salary? ”

"Lord Governor, why don't you go to the three major families to borrow some, they will definitely give you some face on the first day you come. ”

Huang Fei frowned, he couldn't imagine that the life of these soldiers was so hard, these soldiers who were difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing, their loyalty was very low, they couldn't even eat their stomachs, why should people follow you.

"Which of you is the master of the Governor's Palace. ”

Soldiers, you look at me, I look at you, but no one speaks, and the scene falls silent.

At this moment, a person came out of the ranks of soldiers below.

"My lord, Bo Baiwen, the head of the Governor's Mansion, did not come today, and his little wife celebrates her birthday today. ”

Huang Fei glanced at the visitor, and saw that although his clothes were tattered, his eyes were straight, and he didn't dodge his eyes in the slightest.

"What's your name. ”

"Back to my lord, under Zhao Tuo. ”

"Well, from now on, you are the Lord of the Governor's Palace. ”

When Zhao Tuo heard this, he hurriedly waved his hand and shirked it, "My lord, this is unacceptable, the commander of the Governor's Mansion is equivalent to the level of a thousand commanders, and now he is just an ordinary soldier, the first time he sees him, this is really, it is really ......."

Zhao Tuo didn't know what to say for a while.

Huang Fei glanced at him and said with a smile, "Zhao Tuo, do you think I just said it casually? I'll tell you why now, if you think what Master Ben said is unreasonable, you can resign." ”

"Today, on the first day of Lord Ben's appointment, even you soldiers know that I am coming, but the lord Bo named Bai Wencai has not come, and is still accompanying his little wife to celebrate her birthday, is it the governor who is important, or his little wife is important, is it not as effective as what Lord Ben asked him to do something? Bo, the lord of the governor's mansion, takes care of things for the governor, since he listens to his little wife so much, then let him be the master of his little wife." ”

Zhao Tuo nodded yes.

"Today I have come all the way from the Governor's Palace, and I have heard them all call themselves lords when they talk about the governors, but you are the only one who calls them lords, which shows that they have subconsciously forgotten their identity, and regard being a soldier as a kind of work, and regard this official as a lord who pays them. ”

Hearing Huang Fei's words, the faces of the soldiers who were shouting just now were hot, Huang Fei was right, they did think so in their hearts.

"And you, Zhao Tuo, still regard yourself as a soldier of the Great Shang Empire......"

Zhao Tuo's face was full of admiration, "My lord, you can make such a judgment with just one sentence, and I admire it." ”

"When I asked the Governor's Mansion Lord, you were the only one who stood up, which proves that your courage and thinking are stronger than others, and more importantly, I don't need you in the current situation, who else can I use?"

Huang Fei glanced at Zhao Tuo after saying this, and the two laughed in unison.

At this moment, there are many people gathered in the middle hall, all of these people do not belong to the three major families, and Zhao Tuo is the only person who can attract Huang Fei's attention at present, the second half of what Huang Fei did not say is, even if your Zhao Tuo's ability is not as good as other people in the Governor's Mansion, can I still use people from the three major families?

"Master Zhao Tuo, you will compile the details of Wukara Province and Huyan City into information for me in a while, and what's the matter with you not paying for a few months?"

"My lord, all of us belong directly to the camp of the Imperial Capital Army, and the governor's palace pays a monthly salary, and the others belong to the three major families, and their own families pay the salary, which is the case in our province of Ukara. Zhao Tuo was in a little panicked at the moment, and suddenly he suddenly became the master of the commander level from an ordinary soldier, and he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Huang Fei pondered for a moment, it turned out that this was the case, no wonder when he passed by in the city, he found that many soldiers had different uniforms. There are embroidered with the word "white" behind these soldiers, some embroidered with the word "Qin", and some embroidered with the word "Deng", those people are brightly dressed, and they walk vigorously and powerfully, more majestic than those soldiers who do not have embroidered words on their backs, he glanced at these imperial soldiers in the hall, the purple military uniforms on all of them have become white because of long-term scrubbing, and there are patches stacked on top of each other in many places, and the recent situation is very bad.

Wang Heng interjected, "My lord, we only have three gold coins a month, everyone is old and young, there is not much left except for subsidizing the family, we don't have the luxury of ten gold coins a month like other family private soldiers, as long as the monthly salary is distributed to us on time, we are satisfied, and now the family really can't open the pot." ”

The soldiers below sighed, there was no way, after all, it was still the three major families here, and the soldiers of the big merchants and the private soldiers of the family could not be compared.

"The salary is not the same, Zhao Tuo, I order you now, the first thing you do when you take office is to immediately count the list of soldiers directly belonging to the imperial capital army camp, report the list to me, go now. ”

"Yes," Zhao Tuo nodded, and immediately ran out.

"Soldiers, I, Huang Fei, came today, to be honest, I really didn't expect that the matter here would be so serious, you are the warriors of the empire, the sword of the Great Shang Empire, if you have been dulled and not sharp enough, if the empire needs you, how can you draw the sword out of the sheath at any time, seeing the scene in front of me, I am really ashamed, you have been wronged, I am here to bow to you for the Great Shang Empire. ”

After Huang Fei finished speaking, he stood up from his seat, bowed deeply to the soldiers below, and stood up with a solemn face.

"Everyone is the cornerstone of the country, Huang Fei will rely on you more in the future, I know that everyone may have done some things that can't be put on the table before being forced to make a living, here today, I don't say those nonsense words for the honor of the empire and the common people of the world, I just want to ask you, if everyone can eat and eat well, and the family has no worries about food and clothing, are you willing to dedicate your pure heart to my Dashang Empire." ”

"Of course I do" Listening to the meaning of the newly appointed Governor Huang, it should be ready to pay the salary, and the soldiers in the middle hall immediately became noisy, and they were a little nervous in their hearts, whether he would admit the salary he owed before.

In front of everyone's eyes, Huang Fei opened the package placed on the table, in addition to a bulging money bag, there were several bundles of things next to it, and the sharp-eyed soldiers found that those bundles were all treasures of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, if each denomination ranged from five hundred gold coins to one thousand gold coins, the preliminary estimate should have a denomination of more than two million.

Huang Fei casually took out a card and shook it at these soldiers, "I know that your biggest problem now is that compared with those family private soldiers, you always feel inferior, in my opinion, this is the problem of money, and for me, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, in the future, the standard of your salary is the standard of the private soldiers of the three major families......"

Before Huang Fei finished speaking, the soldiers below were already cheering, this is the new governor, it is simply the God of Wealth.

Their eyes when they looked at Huang Fei also became fanatical, this new governor was too handsome and powerful.

"I haven't spoken yet, what are you cheering, I mean, in the future, the standard of your salary will be the standard of the private soldiers of the three major families, and then multiplied by two. ”

The soldiers were stunned, and the standard of the family's private soldiers was multiplied by two, which was twenty gold coins, I heard you right.

"Yes, how can it be possible to give us twenty gold coins a month, I heard that even the most well-treated Xuantie Army of the Songfeng Plain only has ten gold coins a month. ”

"Could it be that this new Governor came from the Imperial Capital to play with us?"

"People in Xuantie City are so rich, I heard that the salary of each soldier has risen to thirty gold coins,"

"Sir, do you mean to give us twenty gold coins a month, or twenty gold coins a year? Finally, one of the soldiers asked timidly.

Huang Fei was dumbfounded, it seemed that these imperial soldiers had been bullied for a long time, and their thinking was already a little wooden.

"It's twenty gold coins per month, and when Zhao Tuo's main book finishes drawing up the roster, it will be distributed immediately today. Huang Fei repeated it again.

The soldiers froze.

"Snap" A soldier slapped himself hard, and a red five-finger print immediately appeared on his face.

"Brethren, we are not dreaming, it is really twenty gold coins a month, there are really no twenty gold coins. ”

"We are developed, the empire has not abandoned us, we are not raised by stepmothers. ”

"Master, no, no, my lord, if you keep your word, I will definitely give up my life in this life, and this life is yours. ”

Amid the cheers, some soldiers secretly wiped their tears and twitched their shoulders.

"Woo woo, Master Huang, if you came a few months earlier, my daughter-in-law wouldn't have run away with others. ”

"Dad, you are not blessed, you have to stand up for a few days, and your son can tell you the good news......"

At this time, Zhao Tuo rushed into the middle hall, and saw that these soldiers were cheering, crying, hugging and kissing each other, and those who were slamming their chests with their hands and roaring to the sky, but Huang Fei sat on the chair with a grinning expression, and he was stunned for a moment.

What's going on, did I just miss something?
