"This year's Liao salary is so urgent, and I owe a lot."

On the edge of the canal, Feng Yuanyang, the governor of Tianjin, let out a long sigh.

Feng Yuanyang is fifty-five years old this year, not tall, and described as thin, but his eyes are very bright, and he doesn't seem to tolerate a little sand.

Since Feng Yuanyang became governor, there has been no major move.

The ruling side is a completely different experience from being an official in the court, and he can no longer be as cynical as before, because he has become a big boss in the eyes of others.

To this day, he has not even sorted out many relationships in Tianjin City.

At this time, beside Feng Yuanyang, there were also Cao Youyi, the chief soldier of Tianjin, and Li Xinjian, the right guard of Tianjin and the guerrilla general, both of whom nodded to Feng Yuanyang and were very respectful.

Not to mention that the official position of Cao Youyi, the chief soldier of Tianjin, is Zhengyipin, even the right guard Qianhu and guerrilla general are all Zhengsanpin's official ranks.

The Great Zhou Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and in front of Feng Yuanyang, Cao Youyi also had to be coiled.

There is no way, who let the money and food be in the hands of the other party, serve people's bowls, and be managed by others, if you really anger Feng Yuanyang, you will directly stop paying your food and salary, or say that you are short of two catties, who will Cao Youyi talk to?

Cao Youyi echoed: "What Lord Feng said is that in recent years, not only has there been a great drought in Beizhili, but even Huguang, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang have often had droughts, but the Liaojia faction has become more and more serious, and current affairs are difficult. ”

Feng Yuanyang seemed to remember something, and said: "The thieves have been wreaking havoc in the land of Gyeonggi for a long time, and when the emperor sent me, he also mentioned to me, does Tianjin have the spare strength to send troops to suppress the thieves?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Cao Youyi and Li Xinjian glanced at each other, and Li Xinjian said: "My lord doesn't know, the three guards in Tianjin are also short of soldiers, and they are not diligent in training. ”

Li Xinjian didn't say much, he believed that Feng Yuanyang could hear the meaning of his words.

If Tianjin sends troops and loses the battle, not only will these generals be killed, but even Feng Yuanyang, the new governor, will also be affected.

Regardless of whether it is because of the previous chief officer, the current chief official is Feng Yuanyang.

When the time comes, a large group of court officials will not let go of this opportunity, and they will impeach Feng Yuanyang to death.

Because only by getting Feng Yuanyang down, will they have a chance to take the position.

After all, the big man on the ruling side is still very attractive, not to mention that the governor of Tianjin is the fat difference among the fat differences.

Feng Yuanyang frowned slightly, and said, "The Tianjin Guards are so corrupt? ”

Although I have always heard that the soldiers of the guard are overwhelmed, I didn't expect it to be so wasteful, and I didn't even dare to go out of the city to suppress thieves.

Li Xinjian explained: "Where is there a guard post that can fight in Dazhou now, if you want to strengthen the army, you can only fight if you recruit militia and train them strictly." ”

"Oh? That being the case, how many combatable soldiers did General Lee have? ”

Li Xinjian said with a smile: "I can't hide it, there are eight hundred subordinates, all of whom are powerful people, although they can't attack, they can protect my Tianjin defense." ”

Faced with this new governor, Li Xinjian didn't care at all.

Although he is not a native of Tianjin, he has been deeply cultivated in Tianjin Wei for many years, married with the local gentry, and borrowed Lu Sanlang's resources, he has also trained 800 combatable soldiers in a few years, of which more than 200 are elite families, who can be used as ten.

Don't think that there are fewer than 200 families, even Wu Sangui and Li Chengliang's henchmen are only five or six hundred.

At this time, whoever has soldiers in his hands is the boss!

Zuo Liangyu, He Renlong and others are all existences who listen to the tune and do not listen to the propaganda, and Emperor Longqian can only eat and drink for them.

Not to mention the ancestor of Liaodong, who repeatedly disobeyed orders, and once surrendered to the Tartars, did not do the same as his general army, and made trouble at every turn, and the court did not dare not give it, for fear that he would defect to the Tartars again.

Li Xinjian is the same, he usually doesn't even give the face of the chief soldier Cao Youyi, he just relies on having soldiers in his hands.

Cao Youyi saw that Feng Yuanyang's face was pale, and said in a low voice: "Lord Feng, there are tens of thousands of thieves who broke into the couch, I heard that there are 100,000, our army is far away from the good country, if you go out of the city to suppress the bandits, I am afraid that there will be more than one good luck, it is better to wait for work, and wait for the army of Qinwang from all over the country to come, and it will not be too late for us to send troops." ”

Li Xinjian is not overly arrogant, after all, he has to rely on Feng Yuanyang to pay food, so he said: "It is not suitable to send troops in winter, we Tianjin still shoulder the responsibility of defending the territory, if there is an invasion of foreign enemies, the military and civilians of the entire Tianjin city will not be spared, or defend the city." ”

Feng Yuanyang heard that the two military bigwigs in Tianjin City said this, and there was no other way.

sighed in his heart: Wen Bai is incompetent, the generals are cowardly, they all want to preserve their strength, and no one thinks about defending the country and being loyal to the monarch and patriotism.

After watching the canal for a while, he returned to the mansion happily.

Feng Yuanyang returned to his mansion, and his son Feng Kaiqi greeted him and said, "Father, there is a man named Jia Zhong'an, who claims to be Tianjin Zuowei Qianhu, and has come to pay a visit. ”

Feng Yuanyang was stunned when he heard this, and then thought that he had indeed received an edict from the emperor two days ago, saying that there was a noble son who wanted to come to Tianjin to train his troops.

He was entangled in official duties and didn't pay attention to it at all.

"I'm a little tired today, let him come back another day." Feng Yuanyang is not in the mood now.

Fang Cai Cao Youyi and Li Xinjian gave him a very bad impression.

This Jia Zhongan is a noble son, in Feng Yuanyang's opinion, this is to cheat and cheat!

Feng Kaiqi didn't leave, and said, "Father, you should see him." ”

"Oh?" Feng Yuanyang said a little strangely: "Is there anything special about this person?" ”

Feng Kaiqi said in a low voice: "This person is generous, and when he came up, he gave two large jars of Flying God Brew, and I heard that it is still puree." ”

Feitian Shenzhuo, this liquor has been completely launched in the capital!

For official gatherings and major banquets, the Flying God Brew will be chosen as the wine for hospitality.

Moreover, the Flying God Brew has launched three grades: Sea Blue, Sky Blue and Dream Blue, and the highest grade Dream Blue has been sold for 30 taels of silver a catty.

Feng Yuanyang also drank this liquor when he was in the capital, and it was drunk at the home of a colleague and friend.

Otherwise, he can't afford to drink it at all.

Feng Yuanyang said in his heart that this is a loser from which family, just the two jars of puree sent will cost 200 taels of silver.

"Okay, let's see you."

……

"Jia Baoyu, a thousand households of Tianjin Zuowei Thousand Households, meet the governor!"

Jia Baoyu stepped forward and saluted Feng Yuanyang.

But he just made a gesture and didn't kneel.

Feng Yuanyang's powerful big hand helped Jia Baoyu up, he looked up and down, and said, "It's really unimaginable that a handsome son like Jia Qianhu can actually repel thieves!" ”

Jia Baoyu said loudly: "Thanks to the loyalty and courage of the villagers, the people's hearts are available. The humble position was just a coincidence, and it didn't make much difference. ”

Feng Yuanyang showed a look of surprise on his face, this Jia Baoyu is not proud of his achievements, and he is really not an embroidered pillow.

He muttered: "Jia Qianhu's ancestor is the Duke of Rongguo, following the Emperor Taishang's expedition to the east and west, and making great contributions, although Jia Qianhu is young, he has the demeanor of his ancestor, which is really the blessing of my Great Zhou." ”

Jia Baoyuxin said that the news spread fast enough, and he only saw it for the first time, and he was touched by the other party.

He said loudly: "Thank you for the compliment, the humble position is just to kill a few rogues, and it is nothing to blame." ”

Feng Yuanyang coughed lightly a few times and sighed: "Now that the thieves are strong, I don't know when they will hit the city of Tianjin, the old man will not be able to sleep and eat, and the military defense of Tianjin in the future will still depend on you young people." ”

Jia Baoyu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Lord Feng is too elevated, there is the chief soldier Cao in Tianjin, and the right guard Qianhu General Li is here, it must be solid, how dare the thief soldiers come?" ”

Feng Yuanyang just coughed, he closed his eyes for a while, and smiled mildly at Jia Baoyu: "Zhong'an, sit down, you just came to Tianjin, what do you need?" ”

Jia Baoyu said with a smile: "Thank you Lord Feng for your concern, I really want to ask Lord Feng for something." ”

Feng Yuanyang seemed to have expected it, and said quietly: "Zhong An, please speak." ”
