This time, with his merits before and after, plus Jiang Pei's example, if he is promoted and leaves, in addition to the unfinished government affairs in the county, Liu Qi can not rest assured, and there are also local military affairs.

Now he has been recruited locally, and there are 1,300 people counting the subordinates of his hometown in Gai County.

In addition to the foot soldiers, there are also sailors with a scale of 300 people, all of whom Liu Qi has worked hard in the local area.

Led by Zang Ba, Xu Case, Sun Guan, Li Zhan and others, it has become a powerful armed force that crisscrosses the localities, and the counties and counties must face it squarely.

In the past few months, in addition to defending the Changshu place, Hexiang, Qi County, Yinping County, but there is a scourge of banditry, after the request of the county order and the explanation for the higher-level county government, Liu Qi took into account the other departments of Sima, together with the envoys Zang Ba, Xu Case, Sun Guan and others, led the troops to clean up.

In addition to being able to train the servants and make good friends with other counties, Liu Qi has more than 1,000 men and horses, and does not have to worry about the problem of grain and grass.

It is also regarded by the public as a semi-official force to defend the place.

In addition, the commercial and trade cooperation between Liu Qi and the Mi clan also provided a source of military funds for the subordinates while increasing the income of the people. During every holiday, Liu Qi will also give special money rewards.

It is because of his benevolence and kindness, and his subordinates are loyal, that is, some later generals such as Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Sun Fu, who are engaged under Liu Qi, and their hearts are a lot more peaceful.

In March, under Liu Qi's care, Zang Ba even took his Tibetan father from Tan County to live in Changxi City again, and wandered in Donghai County for many years.

Everything is going in a good direction.

But once he leaves, the question of who should be chosen to handle the local military affairs is very important.

Fellow villagers Xu Zhan, Li Zhan, and even his brother Liu Zhi have not grown up, and they still lack courage in some war directions, and they still need to be tempered.

Zang Ba, Sun Guan, and Sun Fu, in the end, have not been joined for a long time, and with their personalities, if they are ordinary people, they will not be completely trusted. After all, Qianzhicheng is an absolute helper, how can he easily allow people to use this sharp weapon.

But Liu Qi adheres to the attitude of employing people without suspicion and suspicion, and attaches great importance to Zang Ba.

On the night he returned to the county seat, he knew that Zang Gong's 60th birthday was approaching, so he visited with gifts.

The next day, he sent a letter to Zang Ba, who was in the Hanshan camp and cooperated in the training of sailors during this time, to summon him to the county government to discuss matters.

When Zang Ba came to the county temple, it was already afternoon.

Liu Qifang finished the official business of the two days, and then discussed the official arrangements for the next half of the year in the hall.

After being informed by the officials, he summoned Zang Ba to see him.

Although it is not a normal day, Zang Ba is still used to wearing leather armor, and the whole person is fighting in front of him, like a big mountain, and he feels majestic and majestic. Since joining Liu Qi's command and commanding the soldiers, his temperament has also changed greatly.

If it is said that in the past, Zang Ba and Sun Guan and other friends often mixed in the market, with a reckless atmosphere. At the moment, it is a little more resolute and atmospheric general's demeanor.

"Xuangao is here!

Hurry up, please take a seat! ”

Liu Qi immediately saw Zang Ba's figure stepping in, put down the slip in his hand, and said with a smile.

In this interval, he silently looked at it, and found that Zang Ba had grown a lot of hair over the past few months, adding a more mature and stable posture, and bowed his head silently.

"Xie Xianjun!" Zang Ba spoke respectfully, and after hugging his fists, he sat down.

After working under Liu Qi for several months, Zang Ba gradually became convinced by Liu Qi's conduct, except for private meetings, in fact, on weekdays, Yu Liu Qi was called by his official title.

Taking advantage of this return, Zang Ba returned to the house, and found that Liu Qi was on duty for his father's birthday, and he was even more grateful.

Before he could say some words of thanks, he watched Liu Qi get up and hand a volume of documents into his hand.

Liu Qi explained: "Yilan Ling sent a letter, on its southeast waterway, there are water thieves, the number of people is not more than 100, and the impact on the boat passengers is very great.

Gaine has been defeated many times in a row, and Zhang Xianling has written to talk about it.

After two days, he asked me to wait for the sailor to help calm it.

Of course, Lanling Ling is also willing to be responsible for military quarters, and in other words, all the captures belong to us and others. As for the counterinsurgency, it will also be reported to the state and county.

Xuan Gao, in this matter, you are full of children during this time, and you can discuss more! ”

Ziman is the face of the Xu case, Jiang Pei was led by Liu Qi the day before yesterday, when he inspected the camp of Hanshan, under the recommendation of Liu Qi, he met with the Xu case, which coincided with the high interest of Jiang Pei, and under the words, he gave such a table word to the Xu case.

Speaking of which, Xu's case is a few months longer than Liu Qi's, and he is also a few months earlier. Get a table of words, how much literary quality. And most of the words are given by the teacher, but where has he read the case, please ask the local Taishou to give the words, which is also his future consideration for this close friend.

As soon as Zang Ba heard that there was official business to find him, he still sent troops to help eliminate the water bandits, his spirit was lifted, he took the document and glanced at it, looked at the back of the county monarch Liu Qi, and said: "Please rest assured, in this matter, Ziman and I will discuss it strictly, and strive not to let go of any of the water bandits." ”

Liu Qi sat back in a few places on the case, and said with a smile: "With Xuangao and Ziman's assistance, it will not be a problem to take down the little water bandits."

By the way, I plan to serve in the army for a long time, in addition to rewarding each time, I will also set up financial rewards such as annual salaries, pensions, and injuries and illnesses, in order to do more good.

What do you think? ”

Seeing Zang Ba's hesitation, Liu Qi knew what he had, raised his head and said: "I know that Xuangao is worried about the source of money, but do you remember that when I was last winter, even if Wen Tie led a group of villagers to cooperate with the Mi family, go to Yizhou and Jingzhou, and do business?"

Among them, the profits, when there have been initial results, plus the county for the peace of the thieves will be accumulated, some local clans gifted, just to raise the headquarters of the people, so that there is no worries, and can go into battle to kill the enemy with peace of mind, it is enough! ”

This special department of commerce and trade is exactly what Liu Qi prepared for future military spending.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the turbulent world has begun.

Today's thousands of people can only stabilize the place, but with the chaos of the war in the future, in order to defend the place and help the world, more money is needed.

Therefore, there is a need for a steady stream of money and goods, in the early winter, among the villagers who came to defect, Wen Tie was born in a family of merchants, and Liu Qi expected to build a professional businessman's department.

Whether it is to trade in various states and counties, or to try to trade at sea, it can be slowly advanced, as the main source of military funds in the future.

It is expected that during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was rumored to have set up a special captain to rob tombs in order to find military expenses.

He Liu Qi acted above board, so why couldn't he set up a merchant school captain so that he could manage military funds in the future, and he could also take it from the people and use it for the people, just like a "state-owned enterprise".

Taoism takes the cultivator as the person, pays attention to the wealth and the law, and the wealth is the first.

The same is true of marching battles.

Zang Ba on the first case, secretly frightened, Liu Qi's trip is not only as simple as treating his subordinates well, but also a "life-saving benefactor" for the soldiers who eat for this kind of food, and people dare not die!

He just responded, but Liu Qi said it next, which made him even more grateful.

"Xuan Gao, you have great talent, I will not go to him in the future, with the people of the headquarters, I plan to use you as the leader!"
