When he reached the main hall, he sat down on a chair in the center. Wang Hongrui stood by his side with his hands down. On the left side of the hall are more than 40 family members brought by Liu Haojia, and on the right are the brocade guards of the Tianjin Baihu Institute.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, it makes Liu Haojia's heart blocked! His subordinates are all wearing brand new brocade robes, with their left hand on their waists, their right hands on the hilt of their knives, their legs spread apart, and they stand there like a green pine! Dozens of people standing together is an impermeable forest!

Looking at the brocade guards on the opposite side, let's not talk about the shabby clothes and armor, but they can't even stand up straight, they have all kinds of postures, they can't stand it!

Seeing this situation, even Wang Hongrui blushed, lowered his head and didn't speak. Sure enough, I heard Liu Haojia say angrily: "Wang Hongrui, you have no money to recruit soldiers, you can be forgiven!" But you can't even train people well, and this is too bad! ”

Those Tianjin brocade guards saw that the people on the opposite side were standing so neatly and upright, and they also tried hard to stand like each other, but after all, they still stood crookedly. Now hearing Liu Haojia's roar, those brocade guards tried harder to straighten their bodies, but it still didn't have much effect!

Wang Hongrui was so frightened that he fell to his knees directly and said, "My lord, forgive me!" Subordinates are willing to be punished! ”

Fortunately, this Wang Hongrui is still a little smart, he didn't dare to quibble, and knelt down directly to admit his mistake. Otherwise, Liu Haojia would dare to take him down on the spot! But for the sake of him being the head snake in Tianjin, Liu Haojia decided to give him one last chance.

So he didn't let him get up, Liu Haojia directly ordered: "The official told you a few things, you memorized them for me!" ”

Wang Hongrui knelt there and nodded his head repeatedly, and said loudly: "You must remember the next pass!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "From now on, the food and salary officials of your hundred households will make up for you, and even the money officials who repair the yamen will also give you!" But you have to hand over all these people and the newly recruited people to my family to practice, including yourself, and you must give me a way to practice! ”

After Wang Hongrui agreed, he continued: "There is a second thing, after the recruitment of people is complete, the people will be released, and the official wants to know the movements of all things up and down Tianjin, can you do it?" ”

Wang Hongrui said loudly when he heard this: "Don't worry, my subordinates will do it!" ”

Liu Haojia sat on the chair, stared at the back of his head and said coldly: "This is your last chance!" If you can't do it, go make a small flag! If you can't even do a small flag, go to Lux! ”

Wang Hongrui trembled when he heard this, and kowtowed again and again and said, "Don't worry, my lord! Subordinates must do it! ”

Seeing that he was really scared, Liu Haojia said lightly: "Get up." ”

Wang Hongrui wiped his cold sweat, got up and said, "Thank you, sir!" ”

Liu Haojia said: "This official asks you, how many soldiers and horses are counted together in Tianjin now?" ”

Wang Hongrui was greatly lifted by the words and said: "There is a guard here in Tianjin, rated at more than 1,100 people, and nearly 2,000 military surpluses. In addition, there is a recruiting army controlled by Cui Junyong, with a rated number of 2,000 soldiers, which is actually about 1,400 people, and the equipment is not complete, and it has been too peaceful for a long time! There were also 1,100 civilian soldiers, or about 600 people, who had never been trained. In addition, there are more than 100 errand servants, helpers, and ......"

Wang Hongrui said a lot of bits and pieces, but he explained in great detail. This also made Liu Haojia feel a little satisfied with him! It seems that he still has a clear grasp of the local affairs in Tianjin.

After listening, Liu Haojia nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not bad, at least the most basic information is quite clear." ”

Wang Hongrui said with a smile: "Don't be praised by adults, it's all what subordinates should do!" ”

Liu Haojia said at this time: "Now I'll give you a task, and inquire about all the news related to General Cui and him, but be secretive, don't alarm him!" ”

Wang Hongrui is not stupid, of course he knows that Liu Haojia was robbed and killed on the way here. Although he didn't know the specific details of this matter, the matter had already spread all over Tianjin! Now that Liu Haojia said this, he couldn't help but wonder if it was really Cui Junyong who did this?

But he couldn't worry about the retaliation after the spy Cui Junyong was discovered, and immediately nodded and agreed. However, Liu Haojia didn't say anything about this matter, but said: "Wang Baihu, do you know if there is land in Tianjin that is suitable for building a military camp, and it is best to get close to the fiefdom of the official?" ”

Wang Hongrui said cautiously: "My lord, I don't know how many troops need to be stationed?" ”

Liu Haojia said: "Let's arrange it according to 1,000 people first." However, the barracks will be built a little bigger, and it will definitely be expanded in the future. ”

Wang Hongrui said with a sad face when he heard this: "My lord, if there are about a thousand subordinates, they can indeed find a place to settle. But if there is an expansion in the future, there will be no suitable place! It's too close to Jingshi, and the slightly flat land is almost occupied! ”

Liu Haojia was a little worried when he heard this! In his plan, he plans to build an army of about 15,000 people, which requires a lot of barracks! So he thought for a moment and said, "Think about it again, as long as the place is big enough, but the terrain is not ideal, it doesn't matter if you can spend money to repair it!" The official didn't dare to say anything else, but there was silver! ”

Wang Hongrui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and said: "If this is the case, the subordinates will know a place!" The subordinates know that a piece of land is in the southeast of the city! There is a reed pond there with a large area, if the adults are not afraid of spending money, they can directly send someone to fill in the reed pond! And the open space that the subordinate just mentioned is next to the reed pond! ”

Liu Haojia was overjoyed when he heard this! What's the matter with a reed pond, just get some earth and rocks to fill it in! In these years, the labor is very cheap, and the soil and stone do not cost money, and it doesn't cost much to fill the reed pond! So he immediately said, "Lead the way, go and see!" ”

Not long after everyone rode their horses to the outside of the city, they saw a reed pond! In Liu Haojia's opinion, this reed pond is almost impossible to keep, because the water has almost dried up, and most of it is mud! If it is a few years later, I am afraid that it will dry up completely! At that time, if you can't say it, you will be put on the name! Now he hasn't been bought, I'm afraid he's also being remembered, but now he's on a first-come, first-served basis!

He took people around the reed pond and found that this place is really huge? And there are two or three small hills in the surrounding open space, which can be bulldozed and used to fill in the reed ponds!
