In Taowei County, I have been staying for five or six days. After instructing Lin Tang about the things that need to be paid attention to, Chen Jingcai took Xing Xiaojiu and quickly rushed back to the racecourse.

It's a pity that the official document for the promotion of the county magistrate has still not come.

Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and Song Yu, who came over, happily shook Chen Jing's hand.

"Song Yu, people from the official workshop, have you ever been here?"

"Guanfang?" Song Yu shook his head, "I didn't see anyone coming, but the Wu official came two or three times and asked where you went." ”

"Ignore him." Chen Jing smiled and also held Song Yu's hand.

"Naturally, I didn't say anything."

"Look at you, you're getting more and more like a housewife."

Song Yu in front of him has been accompanying each other, the two are in love, and they have the reality of husband and wife, in the future, they will definitely be the housewife of the Chen family.

Holding Song Yu, when Chen Jing was about to enter the house, he was cold, and a Zhuang man ran over.

"The owner, there's an official from outside!"

Chen Jing looked back in a daze, and when he saw that there were four or five old officials outside the door of Zhuangzi, he entered the village with a gong, and his heart became completely excited.

……

"Congratulations, Uncle Chen." With a smile on his face, an old official handed a notarization of the promotion to the county magistrate and a jade knighthood to Chen Jing.

"There are a few adults." Chen Jing held back his excitement, took out the reward silver from his arms, and handed it out.

Suddenly, several old officials laughed even more happily.

A county earl's small title, although it will not make them kneel to lick it, but no matter what, this is also a serious title in the Da Ran Dynasty.

There are many little squires, and they can't buy it if they want to.

"Uncle Chen is free, and he still needs to go to the official workshop. You know, there are some things to be entered into the naturalization register. ”

"Don't worry, I understand...... By the way, my lord, I heard that after being promoted to county uncle, he can recruit 200 strong men? ”

The old official thought for a while, "That's true, but since you are a strong man recruited by your own family, whether it is grain, grass or monthly salary, you need your own ration." If there is no major event, the official workshop will not ask. ”

Chen Jing was ecstatic. Fortunately, even if the court fights endlessly, Ran Lu is still true.

"Every month, the official workshop will also distribute a monthly salary, which is the knighthood of the county of Chen. But it's only two or four dollars......"

Sure enough, it is the lowest knighthood, and even the monthly knighthood is only two or four dollars. But for Chen Jing, this knighthood is insignificant, and the most important thing for him is to raise private soldiers.

Although there were only 200 people at the beginning, now in this world, 200 young and strong men are enough for him to slowly rise to a greater title.

However, the monthly salary of these two hundred private soldiers, as well as the cost of the family members, are also a problem. Now it seems that the business of the Horse Racing Gang should be prepared immediately.

"Uncle Chen, I'll leave first. In the future, you can come to the city and walk around more. The old man smiled and said goodbye.

"There's Lord Law. Xiao Jiu, help me deliver it. ”

Turning around and walking back to Zhuangzi, Chen Jing found that at some point, a lot of people had gathered in front of him. There are Song Yu, Hu Dong and Hu Xi, and even Zhu Feng, who is recuperating from his injuries, has come out.

Everyone's face was full of excitement.

Chen Jing's promotion to county magistrate means that their future days will get better and better.

"Brothers, according to my meaning, in the past few days, I will spend some effort to continue to cut down forests and build houses, burn brick fences, I can't say, there will be more people, and I will join the Chen Family Horse Farm!"

In this kind of world, the people who have lost their land and their homes will only increase, and if you have food and silver, more and more will follow you.

If Lin Tang is there, he can also be promoted to the government smoothly...... These six southern states are enough to gain a foothold and take root.

The sky is getting dark, and tonight's Chenjia Racecourse has a rare celebration because of Chen Jing's promotion.

Chen Jing drank a few glasses of wine, and after piercing Xing Xiaojiu's "Xing Eight Altars", he got up and walked back.

According to Zhu Feng, he is used to staying in the army and does not like to drink.

The door of the house was pushed open, the candlelight was flickering, Zhu Feng turned around, and when he saw that it was Chen Jing, he smiled.

"I knew the owner would come and ask about recruitment."

That's right, since I've been promoted. According to Chen Jing's original consideration, he first raised 200 soldiers and handed them over to Zhu Feng for training.

In Taowei County, due to being busy with Wu Xiu's affairs, Lin Tang has not yet inquired about the information of the old pawn.

"Old." Zhu Feng was silent for a while, "If I speak, maybe ...... can help the owner and recruit thirty or forty veterans. These old soldiers, who were all in the mountains before, are people under my command. ”

"Then why did you leave the army?"

"The four battalions of Manshan have always been no more than 10,000. But does the owner know that Mr. Big hasn't come yet, at the beginning, how many people were there in the Manshan garrison reported to the court? ”

"Twenty thousand?"

Throughout the ages, there have been many cases of empty salaries, and false reporting of soldiers is only one of them.

"The Manshan garrison that reported up...... It's 50,000 people. In other words, those previous gate valve families have eaten 40,000 empty salaries for more than ten years. ”

Chen Jing was silent when he listened. If there is no Mr. Da to change the law in the south, I am afraid that these moths will really moth the mountains and rivers of Da Ran.

"At that time, not only did I eat empty salaries, but even the military salaries of these 10,000 people were suppressed for more than half a year. I was still a lieutenant at that time, and there were people under my hands who were angry, and they followed the people from other battalions and made a fuss together...... In the end, the overseers killed a group and dismissed a group. ”

Zhu Feng exhaled, "These thirty or forty people are the people and horses under my command, and I still have the military register, and there is an address on the military register." If the proprietor is willing, I can think of some way to bring them to Chen's Horse Village. ”

"But...... The proprietor needs to agree, and it is best not to press the military salary, or secretly withhold the military salary. ”

Chen Jing nodded seriously.

"Zhu Feng, you know who I am, like this kind of thing, I will definitely not do it."

Zhu Feng also laughed.

"It is precisely because I know who you are that I am willing to follow. From tomorrow, I will pick two good hands from the Zhuangzi, a carriage, and go to find someone for the owner. ”

"Are you okay?"

"Wu Zhufeng, a good man, except for the scar on his neck, as long as he can move, he doesn't need to recuperate."

Chen Jing clenched his fists. How wise he was at the beginning, no matter what, he had to put Zhu Feng into the Chen family racecourse. In response to the words of the ancients, a thousand armies are easy to obtain, but one will be hard to find.

Or one day, Zhu Gao will take the private soldiers of Chenjia Mazhuang and shock the whole world.
