The listless little Persian cat smelled the catnip stick, so he rubbed it next to Zhao Xiong and then spread the cuteness, and the teacup in the eunuch An Dehai's hand stopped pouring tea.

Zhao Xiong teased the cat and said, "I brought cat food and dog food here, and there is no problem in eating it for three months."

However, cats and dogs may be reluctant to eat anything else if they eat cat food or dog food. ”

"What then?" The little eunuch, who was in charge of taking care of the cats and dogs, asked nervously.

Zhao Xiong reached out and took out a brown medicine bottle from his green schoolbag and asked, "You bring the bowl where the cat drinks water, I'll take a look."

The little eunuch got An Dehai's nod, and then hurriedly ran over to get the cat bowl.

Zhao Xiong sprinkled the catnip medicine into the water, soaked it for 2 minutes, and then brought it to the cat, and a magical scene appeared.

Persian kittens who usually don't like to drink water, can't resist the temptation, tons ~ tons ~ tons of drinking water, and automatically and consciously go to eat cat food, and eat whining.

"The cub is eating, hurry up, what kind of magic medicine is this, take it and take a look!"

All right!

I didn't pretend to be excited, showing the true colors of a eunuch.

"Heh, heh, heh!"

Zhao Xiong let out a series of hehehes from the bottom of his heart!

Isn't it a routine for me?

If the son of the dead eunuch goes on a hunger strike, he must be in a hurry!

Dead eunuch, you still beg me obediently!

Zhao Xiong handed the catnip to the little eunuch and said with a smile: "This kind of cat medicine is produced in the extreme west, and it is extremely precious, so Lord Wang can use it sparingly." ”

Zhao Xiong also told the little eunuch in detail about the use of the two large baskets of pet utensils.

Of course, how to tear off the packaging with words, but also find another packaging, Dakang's kraft paper bags, there are still a lot of stocks in the space warehouse.

An Dehai played with the small medicine bottle while listening to it on the side, nodding incessantly.

After Zhao Xiong retired, the moment he picked up the baby Persian cat, the eunuch An Dehai burst into tears.

As soon as he arrived in the house, An Dehai's little eunuch sent a letter, which he read carefully, in which An Dehai carefully analyzed the possibility of his promotion.

If you want to be promoted, ask him to go to the dock, and here are two factions.

One is the Dewang lineage, and the other is the Shandong local lineage, depending on which one he chooses.

It's just that Zhao Xiong is a nine-grade miscellaneous official, and there is no distinction between civil and military.

This time, he broke the bandits, beheaded nearly 100, and if he went to the German royal department, maybe he would be promoted if there was a vacancy next month.

However, there are also restrictions on the German royal system, and it is estimated that the seven-rank official is the head.

The local system of Shandong is much more complicated, depending on which big guy he is placed in, and he is buying officials, but according to normal speaking, the cap is five products.

Five products and seven products, that is the difference between the section chief and the director.

Dakang five-grade official, counted as a government official, the worst five-grade Tongzhi, also has a salary of 80 taels a month.

Although the salary is not high, with the income of raising incorruptible silver, Bingjing, and Tanjing, the actual amount of silver received is still considerable.

In addition, most officials received "filial piety" from their subordinates and collected wealth under various names.

Therefore, the phrase "three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver" is no exaggeration in the Dakang Dynasty.

However, the five-rank official has great power in the local area, and if he goes up to the fourth-rank official, he can be said to be an important official of the imperial court.

also has a certain ability to protect himself, that is, the emperor has to find excuses to deal with the four officials.

Accept benefits and do things for others.

This is the good quality of An Dehai, a eunuch.

He enumerated in detail the factional struggles in Shandong, and also pointed out the habits of these bigwigs.

After reading this letter, Zhao Xiong thought that it was too worthwhile to send cat food and dog food.

Nothing was said all night.

Although Jining City is known as the most majestic in Shandong Province, the actual area is not large.

The Grand Canal flows about 460 kilometers into Jining, and due to the advantages of dense rivers such as the Si River and the Wen River, Jining has the innate conditions for opening the canal.

The undulating terrain, complex hydrogeological conditions, unbalanced water level, and the scouring and silting of the Yellow River have made Jining a central part of the canal.

As a result, many yamen in Jining were densely distributed around the yamen of the governor of the river.

The Yamen of the Governor of the River covers a vast area, with a large hall, two halls, three halls, a academy shooting garden, a martial arts hall, etc., the scale is large, the layout is rigorous, and the momentum is majestic.

In the Dakang Dynasty, only the ministry-level yamen in the capital had such specifications, which shows that the imperial court attached great importance to the yamen of the governor of the river.

The Jiangfang army of the Dakang Dynasty was mainly composed of three forces, namely the Weisuo Army, the recruiting army and the militia arm.

The Weisuo Army is the kind of hereditary military household, and this force is mainly responsible for dealing with river thieves and water thieves who are begging for a living on the river.

The local militia mainly protects the safety of the people who depend on the river for food.

Recruiting is the so-called mercenary, that is, professional combatants who rely on military salaries for food, and have certain combat skills.

In order to deal with the robbers on the river, and to crack down on the smuggling of salt.

The Dakang Imperial Court knew very well that it was necessary to sharpen its weapons first, so it spent hundreds of thousands of silver every year to build multi-pulp ships for the sailors and military households along the river, and used to arrest the merchants who took away the smuggled salt.

Three years after arriving in Yongping, because of the rampant thieves and illegal salt sellers, the Dakang court began to set up military camps in some important towns along the Yangtze River.

For example, the Nanhu Battalion set up in Jiujiang, the Anqing Battalion set up in Anqing, and the Weishan Battalion set up in Jining, Shandong, all of which supplemented the insufficient number of the Neihu Naval Army.

The quality of the naval divisions of the Dakang Dynasty, whether it was fighting on the river or at sea, was much higher than that on land.

The side door of the Jining Prefecture Governor's Mansion suddenly opened, and the banner soldiers of the Governor's Yamen turned over and galloped towards the camp of the guards.

At noon, a sailor came from the north of Weishan Lake, and there were more than 20 ships.

On the big sand boat and fast crab boat, the big flag of Weishan Ying Zhou is fluttering in the north wind.

Zhao Xiong stood high on the dock and looked at this water army with a telescope.

Liu Tongxun, who was also holding a telescope next to him, pouted, this was a subordinate unit of his cheap father Liu Yu.

The largest one is two stories tall and about 20 meters long, like an ingot.

"Hey! The strength of the imperial court's naval army has declined! ”

The kobold military master said with a sigh.

The Neihu Sailor Division of the Dakang Dynasty had money and related equipment, a large number of firearms, relatively large ships, and several tiger squatting cannons.

If you want to go sideways in inland lakes and lakes, as long as you encounter water bandits, they are kings on the open water.

Of course, in the narrow river, they wilted.

About half an hour later, the sailors of Weishan Lake landed, and Zhou Qian was always on the boat and drank hot sugar water.

"It's really cold", he estimated that in another 10 days and 8 days, the lake will freeze, bad luck, this is a bad deal!

He didn't get off the boat, stayed in the warehouse on the second floor, scalded a pot of wine, and warmed his body.

For two years, his heart has been riddled with holes, as the main force in the fight against table salt.
