Doge's Palace

"My lord, if you treat Bai Wencai like this today, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to you, I know Bai Wencai, he is very small-minded, and he will repay him. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhao Tuo looked worried.

Huang Fei looked at Zhao Tuo with a smile on his face, "Master Zhao, why don't you have confidence in Lord Ben?"

"No, no, my subordinates don't mean that, I mean that the Bai family behind Bai Wencai is huge, and their foundation is far from what adults can imagine. ”

"Zhao Tuo, I am very happy that you can put yourself in my shoes, but you are wrong, I might as well tell you that the purpose of my coming to Ukara Province this time is not to move them, but to make these three families stronger and revitalize the entire Ukara Province, and this premise is that I must give them a strong signal that I am very strong, so that they can be a little jealous of the Governor's Palace. ”

Zhao Tuo was a little confused when he heard Huang Fei's words, "My lord, why are you doing this, the three major families are not the same as the emperor." ”

Huang Fei smiled, "Zhao Tuo, sometimes what you see in your eyes is not necessarily true, what everyone imagines is not necessarily right, when you can't make a decision, you just need to choose to believe me...... By the way, have you made that batch of uniforms?"

"My lord, it has been made, and my subordinates came to you this time to report this matter, but they forgot about it. ”

Huang Fei nodded, "Well, very good, then send it to the people below as soon as possible, autumn is almost coming, and the sky is already cold." "Okay"

"By the way, there is one more thing I almost forgot, just now Wang Heng found me and told me that there is a soldier in the mansion whose father is seriously ill and has asked for leave, you go buy something to see, and the cost will be ...... from the mansion."

"My lord, do you mean to let your subordinates go and see that soldier for you?" Zhao Tuo was a little surprised, he had experienced three governors, these people were either weak, or vigorous, or calm and sophisticated, but absolutely no one could take the affairs of his subordinates to heart like Huang Fei.

"That's what I mean, hey, Zhao Tuo, what's wrong with you. Huang Fei was a little surprised when he saw the excitement on Zhao Tuo's face.

"Your Excellency, you have been so good to us, we really don't know how to repay you. ”

"Zhao Tuo, it's wrong for you to think like this, don't put your head on the belt of your pants to do things for me, only if you are willing, can you do what I tell you to do well, this is a relationship of mutual trust, can you understand?"

"Lord Huang, having said that, but there has never been a person who has been so good to us as an adult, and the character of the adult not only shocked the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign, but also conscientious and meticulous in his work, and what is even more rare is a righteous spirit and a clean breeze on his sleeves...... Hey, what are you looking for, sir. ”

Before Zhao Tuo finished speaking, he saw Huang Fei's hands rummaging on the bookcase, and his mouth kept muttering, as if it was placed here.

"Zhao Tuo, quickly bring your feet, it turned out to have fallen to the ground. Huang Fei looked around and set his eyes on Zhao Tuo's feet, and his face immediately showed surprise,

Zhao Tuo looked down and saw that the soles of his feet were stepping on a delicate album, and from the messy page of the album, you can vaguely see pictures that make people's blood rush (the picture website automatically blocks them), and the illustration explains: The old man pushes a cart.

Huang Fei quickly picked up the album, put it in his arms, and glanced at Zhao Tuo cautiously, what did you see just now?

Zhao Tuo hurriedly waved his hand, "I didn't see anything." ”

"I don't see what you're nervous about? I can't lie, but Zhao Tuo, if you want to see this official, I can borrow you to watch it. ”

"No, no, no, my subordinates are not interested in this kind of thing. ”

"Rub, I've taken it out, you really saw it. ”

“......”

"Xiao Shan, you are so handsome in this new military uniform!"

Several soldiers in the Governor's Palace were happily trying on new uniforms, and the old uniforms with patches had long since been thrown aside.

Xiao Shan lowered his head and gently rubbed it with his hand, which felt so comfortable.

The new military uniforms on their bodies are made of more expensive spruce cloth, which is not only breathable, but also more skin-friendly, and has a particularly comfortable feeling when wearing them.

"Now those family private soldiers said that Lao Tzu was a beggar, and Lao Tzu used his belt to blind their dogs' eyes. A soldier of the Governor's Palace excitedly patted the copper belt around his waist, which was also designed according to Huang Fei's requirements, and several small buckles were installed on the side of the belt, which could be used to put some dry food and other blankets.

"I never thought that the military uniform could be so handsome, I think a few of our brothers are even more energetic than those old men. ”

"You don't know this, right, but I heard that our Lord Huang said that the military uniform must be handsome, so as to attract others, I didn't believe it before, but now you let me take off this military uniform, I won't do it." ”

"A horse of spruce cloth is thirty gold coins per horse, each horse can only make one set, Lord Huang issued four sets of military uniforms in spring, summer and autumn in a row, each set of two bodies is changed, all of them are made of spruce cloth, counting the manual fee, one person will need three hundred gold coins, and we have four hundred brothers in the whole house, more than 10,000 gold coins at once, so much money from the adults. ”

"Hesse, this is not something you have to worry about, Lord Huang opened the package that day, and I can see that the pile of chamber of commerce treasure money inside is at least one million gold coins. ”

"Alas, thinking about the misery I was with Master Hai'an at the beginning, now I really feel like I'm dreaming, happiness came too suddenly. ”

A few soldiers in Xiaoshan were talking, only to see Wang Heng hurriedly running over from outside the mansion gate.

"Wang Heng, what are you doing in a panic. ”

Wang Heng glanced at them, "The patriarchs of the three major families are here, and I will go to inform my lord." ”

Outside the gate of the Governor's Palace, there were three bright red sedan chairs, and behind each of them, there were hundreds of family private soldiers, any one of which was far more than the number of soldiers in the Governor's Palace.

At this time, Bai Silin, the head of the Bai family, Qin Wenxing, the head of the Qin family, and Deng Tian, the head of the Deng family, were all standing in front of the door waiting to be summoned.

The three of them noticed that the soldiers in front of the Governor's Mansion had changed into brand new uniforms, and the plaque in front of the door had also been replaced, with the words "Governor's Palace" written on it.

Qin Wenxing pointed to the military uniform on the remaining soldier in front of the door, and said with a smile without any scruples, "It seems that this new governor still likes face, even such a lowly soldier is wearing such good materials, and he looks like a dog." ”

"I heard that the new governor Huang Fei is still very hot-tempered, and he gave the Bai family's quartermaster on the first day of his appointment, isn't it, Brother Bai. Deng Tiandu smiled.

"When Bai Wencai arrived as the governor, he actually celebrated the birthday of his little wife, which was his own fault. Bai Silin snorted coldly, this Deng Tiandu clearly wanted the Bai family to take the lead first, but he had a good calculation.

Qin Wenxing looked at Bai Slin in surprise, "When did Brother Bai have such a good temper, it's really amazing." ”

"Have I always had a bad temper?"

"That's not it, it's just that I think the new governor Huang Fei should at least give Brother Bai a face. ”

Bai Slin glanced at Qin Wenxing, "Okay, then Brother Qin, when you see this Governor Huang, you can say this to Brother Wei to him face to face." ”

Seeing Qin Wenxing's eyes glancing away and not talking anymore, Bai Silin sneered, it seems that what his youngest daughter Yemei said is right, this Qin family and the Deng family really have bad intentions, they just want to provoke the Bai family to come out.

Bai Slin was thinking about it, and Wang Heng, who had just been reported, ran out, "Several heads of the family, please, the Governor has been waiting inside for a long time." ”

"Why didn't you Governor Huang come to greet us in person?" Qin Wenxing and Deng Tian both looked dissatisfied.

"Well, my lords, I'm just passing on the word. After Wang Heng finished speaking, he took the spear and stood on the side of the door again, staring ahead without saying much.

Bai Slin smiled and said happily, "Okay, since Lord Huang is inconvenienced, it doesn't hurt for us to go in." ”

After speaking, he walked into the mansion with his legs raised, Qin Wenxing and Deng Tian both glanced at each other and followed in.

A few people walked through the courtyard and were about to enter the central hall in front of them, when suddenly a soldier ran over,

"Three heads of the family, the Governor is waiting for you at the garden pavilion. ”

In the pavilion, there was a set of exquisite tea sets on the stone table, and Huang Fei rolled up his sleeves and was brewing tea very seriously.

A very small vortex was formed in the teacup, and the tea leaves inside gently splashed out of the cup with the flow of water, and the tea ceremony was about a state of mind, but it was used by Huang Fei to pass the time, seeing three richly dressed old men walking in the distance, followed by a lot of private soldiers, Huang Fei knew that these three old men were the heads of the three major families who controlled the province of Ukara.

"The head of the Bai family, the head of the Qin family, and the head of the Deng family, come, please sit down, I have just made this tea, see how it tastes." Huang Fei waited for the three of them to approach and spoke first.

On the tea table, four delicate teacups are slowly steaming.

"Your Excellency the Governor is so Yaxing, it seems that he has studied the tea ceremony quite well. The three heads of the family also smiled and said hello, and after they sat down, no one would move the teacup in front of them first.

Huang Fei smiled in his heart when he saw this, these old foxes thought that they would put poison in the teacup, so he picked up the teacup himself, took a sip lightly, and spoke.

"I just took office in the past few days, things are complicated, and I am preparing to visit you in a few days after I have free time, I don't know if the three heads of the family are coming here today, what is the so-called matter?"

Bai Slin said with a smile, "The Governor is in charge of Ukara Province, our three major families are under the jurisdiction of the Lord, and it just so happens that the Qin Family Master and the Deng Family Master also intend to come over, it is better to choose a day than to collide with the day, I hope that the three of us will not cause trouble to the adults." ”

"Where, in terms of age, all the heads of the family are my elders, and everyone needs to support each other in the future, you came just right, I originally wanted to go to the house to ask for the opinions of the heads of the family, so I will say it directly today. ”

The three family heads exchanged glances with each other, guessing Huang Fei's intentions.

"As you know, the former governor Hai'an Hai died of a sudden illness, and now His Majesty is very surprised, Hai'an is the pillar of the Great Shang Empire, his unfortunate Majesty is heartbroken, Wukara Province is the largest province in the thirteen provinces of Great Shang, and there can be no governor for a day, so His Majesty specially ordered me to come and work with you, His Majesty heard that Lord Hai'an died unexpectedly, but in the past few days I have seen and heard in Huyan City, this is completely nonsense, Huyan City under the leadership of the three family heads, it is really thriving, prosperous, you can rest assured, I will definitely see and hear in recent days, report to Your Majesty to know。 ”

Bai Silin, Qin Wenxing, and Deng Tiandu heard Huang Fei say that Hai'an died unexpectedly, and their hearts palpitated, but Huang Fei casually said that he thought it was nonsense, Hai'an is dead, the new governor has taken office, and it doesn't matter how Hai'an died, Huang Fei is vaguely reminding the three of them that His Majesty has become alert to this matter, and if you want to make a small move against him, you have to weigh it carefully, and Huang Fei's last sentence is obviously a friendship with the three of them.

These three people are all human spirits, and they understood Huang Fei's intentions with a slight turn of their heads, Qin Wenxing took the lead in standing up, arching his hands, "Lord Huang understands the righteousness, which makes us admire, and I also ask you to present to Your Majesty as soon as possible, report the situation in Huyan City truthfully, and don't let Xiao Xiaozhi take advantage of the loophole." ”

Bai Slin and Deng Tian also nodded in agreement.

"Well, don't worry about this, there must be no problem, there is one thing, Your Majesty once explained it to me before leaving, I want to ask the opinions of the three family heads. ”

"What's the matter. ”

"It's about the private soldiers of the family in the province of Ukara, may I ask the three family masters, how many private soldiers are there in your family?"

Bai Silin, Qin Wenxing and Deng Tian were all stunned, the newly appointed governor Huang Fei went around in a circle, and still talked about the most sensitive topic, could it be that the three families couldn't get rid of it, and wanted to take the opportunity to cut troops, but this is unbearable, the three of them secretly made up their minds, and promised to come down first, who can control when the time comes.

"My Bai family has 40,000 private soldiers. ”

"My Qin family has 30,000 private soldiers. ”

"My Deng family has 20,000 private soldiers. ”

The three of them reported the number of their soldiers in turn, but what they reported was far from the data that Huang Fei had, the 90,000 people of the Bai family were reported by him to 40,000, the 60,000 people of the Qin family were reported to the city by him, and the 50,000 people of the Deng family were reported to be 20,000 by him, and these people all coincidentally hid more than half of the number of private soldiers they had.

Huang Fei pretended to be surprised, "How can it be so little, it's difficult to do now, Your Majesty still asked me to supervise the expansion of the army in Ukara Province?"

What, expanding the army, expanding the private army, the three family heads couldn't believe their ears, and looked at Huang Fei in unison.

The latter said generously, "Yes, this year, Simon raised troops to attack, Your Majesty gathered all the forces of my Great Shang to conduct the final battle in Shangdu, so that the enemy who would attack in the future was defeated, Your Majesty once sighed, if each province of Great Shang has enough troops, how can you allow Simon to ride back and forth in the territory of Great Shang as if it were no man's land?"

"So the first thing I did when I came to Ukara Province was to hope that the three major families in the province could do a good job of recruiting private soldiers, this number, of course, the more the better, our Ukara Province is the first province in the empire to implement the private army system, if it is carried out well, other provinces will follow. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, this matter is a big deal, and I want to go back and discuss it with the clan elders. Bai Silin's breathing was a little short, and he forced the excitement in his heart.

With the strong strength of the Bai family for so many years, it is completely possible to expand the private soldiers of the Bai family to 200,000, but Bai Slin does not dare to do this, he is afraid that too many private soldiers will cause the dissatisfaction of the imperial capital, and the empire is still very easy and happy to deal with a small Bai family, so he has been forbearing, even if he has long been dissatisfied with the status quo of the actual rule of the three families in Wukara Province for so many years.

But now, in the province of Ukara, in Huyan City, only one voice is enough, and that is the voice of his Bai family, his Bai Silin.

Qin Wenxing and Deng Tian both felt that their heartbeat at the moment was also significantly faster, this year's strength is strength, although their own family in Ukara Province can not be compared with the Bai family, but if they have enough private soldiers, it is not impossible to go to other provinces to be one of the best families, I think that there were only two families in Ukara Province, Qin and Deng, the Bai family is the latecomer, in this world, anyone who doesn't like their own territory has to listen to me.

"Lord Huang, there are still some things in the old man's house that have not been dealt with, so I will visit you another day. All three stood up almost at the same time.

They all secretly thought to themselves that since the imperial capital had already sent a signal, without further ado, the matter of conscription should be as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of.

"Very good, then the heads of the family can do their own thing......"

Looking at the disappearing figure of Bai Slin and others, Huang Fei sat on the stone bench and drank the tea in the cup, the tea had already entered his throat, and the strong tea fragrance was still in his mouth, good tea.
