"It is a matter of course for General Hanqing to come to see the general, what kind of gift do you give?" Chu Qianqiu watched Dou Hanqing walk in with a jade gift box, and couldn't help but smile dumbly.

When he first became a general, the high-ranking officials in Beijing, from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Punishment, each of them gave valuable gifts, but he didn't expect that Dou Hanqing, the commander of the Shence Army, would also come to give him gifts.

It seems that this Dou family is not as high-flying as the legend says.

"The general is polite."

"These are all native products of Fengzhou, not worth a penny, not worth a penny."

"Adults come and go in a hurry, and they will soon go to Yuzhou, and there will be nothing to send at the end."

"Please forgive me, General." Dou Hanqing pushed the gift box over very politely, Chu Qianqiu smiled, shook his head and refused: "General Hanqing, don't bully me when I'm young, this is the warm jade of Fengzhou." "Chu Qianqiu doesn't need to open the box, he can also find out what is contained through the divine soul perception, and warm jade is also one of the specialties of Fengzhou, which belongs to one of the treasures of heaven and earth.

It is quite similar to the spirit stone, except that it does not have energy itself, but it can store true qi, so that the true qi can be retained for a long time.

Many martial arts masters will use it to make wrenches and wear them on their bodies, which is equivalent to having an extra dantian for themselves, and they can often take advantage of it in battles before the late congenital stage, and they will last longer than their opponents.

Therefore, this kind of warm jade is not only jewelry, but also a strange thing, and the price is extremely high. The warm jade on the rivers and lakes, even if it is of poor quality, can be sold at a price of tens of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention that the jade taken out by Dou Hanqing is already at the level of an heirloom belonging to the Dou family.

"As the saying goes, jade is a gentleman."

"The last general is a rough man, and he can't use such fine jade."

"Please laugh at it." Dou Hanqing laughed twice, and hurriedly handed over the box, while Chu Qianqiu shook his head and said, "General Hanqing, I was entrusted by the Empress Dowager and Her Majesty the Empress, so I came to Jiahe City and took over the duties of the general. ”

"It's not for the sake of coveting these precious jades and gems."

"If you have anything to say, General Han Qing will say it directly." Dou Hanqing breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "General, here's the thing. ”

"Aren't you recruiting guards?"

"Many children of the Dou family want to work for adults, I wonder if we can give more places?" With the strength of the Dou family, there is no need to be a personal guard, and Dou Hanqing's approach is also for the long-term consideration of the family, so he wants to stuff a few more people.

"Naturally, there is nothing wrong with this, so why give gifts?" Chu Qianqiu said a little strangely. This time, he engaged in the establishment and took in the guards, just to smash the current interest community of the Shence Army and use a greater interest to cover the previous interest network of the Dou family.

After all, there are still many soldiers who are unwilling to serve in the Shence Army, and there are not a few talented people. As long as they are brought over, they will not worry about the Dou family playing tricks in it.

Therefore, the Dou family is willing to send their children over, and it is too late for Chu Qianqiu to be happy.

"Really?"

"The Dou family still has five hundred disciples, and they are willing to follow the general." Dou Hanqing was overjoyed and hurriedly said.

What? Your Dou family's children will dispatch 500 of them, which is inevitably too many. In this Jiahe City, how many aspiring young people of the Dou family are hidden?

However, the Dou family has children to guard the gate, and the number of children of the Dou family is already quite large, and in various military camps, a large number of them are grabbed.

Chu Qianqiu immediately shook his head and vetoed: "This is too much, Chu's personal guards can't become the Dou family's army." "Chu Qianqiu released the establishment of personal guards in order to win over the officer families from all sides and let them have a little more manpower.

It is the so-called equalization of interests. This is conducive to the construction of an officer corps with Chu Qianqiu as the core in the Shence Army.

In the past, General Long reconstructed the ecology of the entire Lingzhou and established an officer corps with himself as the core.

Now Chu Qianqiu is using the establishment to draw all kinds of officer families under his command. After the renewal in the future, this Dou family army will also become the Chu family army.

Of course, the masters of the Dou family are not fools, so they can naturally see the sinister intentions of Chu Qianqiu's hand.

The problem is that this is an upright conspiracy, and Chu Qianqiu uses his capital to subdue everyone. With the cost of the Chu family's soldiers, this thousand pro-soldiers will eat more than 3 million taels of silver every year, and if they produce results in ten years, it will be more than 30 million taels of snowflake silver.

This does not take into account the expenses of equipment, supplies, cultivation resources, and so on. The Dou family is not without money, but their children all have to spend money, like Chu Qianqiu, the possibility of spending money on outsiders is too low.

Therefore, when Dou Hanqing was thinking about the future, he naturally thought of a good idea to stuff his own children into General Chu's personal guard camp as much as possible.

The more stuffed it is, the more power the Dou family can retain in the future.

"General, for the sake of the Queen Mother."

"The Dou family is really willing to serve the general." Dou Hanqing didn't have the idea of rejecting the other party at the beginning.

"No, fifty at most." Chu Qianqiu smiled and said, he doesn't want to work for many years, this Divine Ce Army is still the Dou Family Army, he should become the Chu Family Army.

So if there were 1,000 guards, he originally thought that the Dou family would not participate. I didn't expect to underestimate such a family, and their political sense is also sensitive.

"General, this is too little."

"How about four hundred?"

"The Dou family is full of loyalty in the Shence Army, and the rising star is like a carp crossing the river, which can definitely satisfy the general." Dou Hanqing began to tout the quality of the Dou family's children.

After all, the Dou family is a disciple of the generals, and their combat literacy and martial arts literacy are very high, and there are many geniuses among them, such as Dou Liangru, who has a mid-congenital cultivation at the age of nineteen, and is a figure who can be expected in the future.

As for the children of generals in their twenties, they are also everywhere.

"Still fifty."

"Chu pays attention to the balance of interests, the door is open, and one cannot favor one over the other." Chu Qianqiu pondered for a moment, still did not agree to Dou Hanqing's request, but in order to appease the emotions of the Dou family, Chu Qianqiu also promised: "General Hanqing, this time the personal guard, I hope to open it to some middle and lower-level officers, and it is very likely that it will be dangerous to go to Yuzhou this time." ”

"What's more, the Dou family already has a lot of positions in the Shence Army, and it's too much."

"In the future, if Chu wants to add new personal guards, he will also choose more from the Dou family, how about it?"

"Thank you for your kindness, General."

"If there are fifty places, the Dou family is already satisfied." Dou Hanqing had no choice, and when Chu Qianqiu had already talked about this, he could only take a step back for the time being.

"That's good."

"You can take this thing back first." Chu Qianqiu pointed to the gift box that was sent, naturally he didn't agree to the other party's conditions, so he wouldn't accept the warm jade.

"Don't worry, general, the last general has one more thing to ask for."

"Then you can say it."

"There will be a niece in the end, called Xiuying, who has always liked to dance with guns and sticks, and doesn't like to be that female celebrity."

"This niece was deeply favored by her father, and became a little lawless, and even established a small female army in the Shence Army, which led to the destruction of the atmosphere of the Shence Army."

"Now she heard that the general is going to Yuzhou to suppress bandits, and she also wants to take a personal guard and go together."

"I wonder if you can say yes?" Dou Hanqing said with some shame, which made Chu Qianqiu cough a little uncontrollably.

"Chu has always been helpful, why worry about this little thing?"
