Early the next morning, Wei Guangliang, the county magistrate who had escaped, came over and asked Luo Chong cheekily: "The merit of Lord Qianhu has been decided, can you talk about how to deal with the share sold to me......

"There's nothing to talk about. ”

Luo Chongyi stretched out his hand: "10,000 silver tickets, count it as your share, and the specific details will be considered by the commander Lord Liu." ”

This can be regarded as a revelation, and the newly appointed commander of the guard, Liu Mingtang, has a very strong relationship with me.

"But now I only have three thousand taels. ”

Wei Guangliang made a bitter face, took out a stack of silver tickets and put them in front of Luo Chong: "Another seven thousand taels, you have to write a letter to your father first, and he will send someone to send it over, and it will take a month to come and go at the earliest." ”

"It's okay, write an IOU. ”

Luo Chong replied lightly: "As an official in the same dynasty, I'm still afraid that you won't pay off your debts?"

"Hey, hey, that's good, that's good. ”

Wei Guangliang was relieved: "Thank you Lord Qianhu for trusting my little brother so much." ”

In fact, he is almost ten years older than 'Luo Dong'.

wrote the IOU, and he made a bitter face again: "Lord Qianhu, you say, should I go back." ”

The rebellion has been put down, and he, the magistrate, should indeed return to Hengyuan County, but ......

"But I'm afraid that I will be scolded to death by the people of Hengyuan County after I go back. ”

He said that he was scolded to death, but he was actually afraid of being stoned to death by angry people with stones and rotten eggs. It's unlikely, but what if?

"Lord Qianhu, can you lend me a few soldiers, send me back, and help me stabilize the situation for a few more days?"

Wei Guangliang also knew that his demands were too much, which would make people feel bored, so he took the initiative to say: "I'll give money, I'm willing to give money, and then write an IOU, okay?"

"IOUs are not needed. ”

Luo Chong waved his hand and smiled: "In addition to the ten soldiers, I will give you one more person, I hope that after you are promoted, this person can become the magistrate of Hengyuan County." I don't care how to do it. ”

"Like...... OK. ”

Wei Guang nodded and said, "As long as this person has a little credit in this rebellion, even if there is only one name in the merit book, this matter is feasible." ”

The person Luo Chong said is, of course, Xie Zhiyuan, and at present, there is only one scholar under him who is suitable for that position.

Although Xie Zhiyuan has no officialdom background, but after all, he is a lifter, Wei Ranran can be a magistrate with his talent and fame, and Xie Zhiyuan's fame is not a problem.

Hengyuan is very close to Guangling, and is within the guarded jurisdiction of Guangling Qianhu, such a high-class county can provide a lot of resources to Guangling Town, and the county is its own person, and it will inevitably be convenient everywhere.

This matter is not very difficult, as long as the current prefect of Guangling Mansion does not object, the imperial court's assessment of a prefect county cannot be too strict.

The prefect of Guangling handed it over to Liu Mingtang to deal with it, believing that their personal relationship would not be much worse if they were one article and one martial artist in this place.

After that, Liu Mingtang's messenger came, saying that the commander would arrive in five days, after all, escorting the body of the thief head and the head of the thief was too important, and the soldiers could not walk too fast without a few hundred soldiers.

In fact, the safest thing to do is to let Luo Chong lead his troops to escort him over, he can kill these people, and it is impossible to let these heads fly into the sky.

But Liu Mingtang, who had just taken over as the commander, was willing to put down the affairs at hand and personally lead the troops down, which can be seen that this is to show respect and gratitude to Luo Chong: Thank you very much, I can't tire you for this kind of thing anymore.

Although they are friends, it is okay for superiors to do this to their subordinates, Luo Chong likes this kind of person who knows how to be grateful.

Who can become a commander?

It's a simple question, but some people forget the simplest of things once they get the benefits.

The next few days were quite peaceful, the recruits trained every day, the townspeople were busy building houses, and Uncle Feng's security brigade already had thirty subordinates, which was enough for a town, after all, there was still a real army in charge.

What kind of sect is the female assassin's mother's family, no one has come back in the past few days, the two great masters have become prisoners, and the other four who are not weak have also been killed, so who dares to come?

That sect leader didn't dare to provoke Luo Chong if he had the slightest brain organization, and it was estimated that he would only use some roundabout measures to negotiate with Luo Chong.

On this day, the commander of Guanglingwei Liu Mingtang led 500 troops and finally arrived in Guangling Town.

Commander Wei, the fourth-rank official, although he has only been promoted by half a level compared to the previous commander Tongzhi, he is already the number one in the local military, and he is almost a soil emperor, and the comfort of his days is very different.

Luo Chong saw his soldiers, although they were indeed very tired after marching for six days in a row, but with that kind of lazy and lazy appearance, dozens of his own soldiers could slaughter them cleanly.

Of course, the recruits who have been following him for more than a month have already trained their internal strength, and it is indeed a bit of a bully to deal with them.

Even if there is only a small internal force, bullying ordinary people is like an adult bullying a child.

"Brother, not only is he capable, but he is really a big lieutenant. ”

In the Qianhu Yamen, Liu Mingtang and Luo Chong sat alone, and they could speak without scruples: "Don't say anything else, I, the commander, am just stained with you, brother, and I will keep it in my heart." ”

"It's much stronger in the heart than in the wine. ”

Luo Chong smiled: "But this time the credit for quelling the chaos is nothing." ”

Others can be promoted because of merit, but he is unlikely, because he was originally just a commander and a fellow knowledge, and he was only put in the position of commander after shouldering the responsibility of quelling the chaos.

"That's not the case, the court finally affirmed my ability, and I have a sense of proportion in my heart, and if I have a similar responsibility, I will still think of me. ”

Liu Mingtang said with a smile: "Besides, for the time being, I don't plan to be promoted again, how good it is to be a commander in the local area, except for the days of the year when I have to go to the provincial capital to see the chief soldier, basically no one cares about you, as long as nothing happens, you are at ease." ”

Afraid that Luo Chong would laugh at himself, he added: "Of course, I won't waste military affairs like those guys, and I have to learn from you anyway, so that Guanglingwei's combat effectiveness will improve." ”

It can only improve!

The reason why he said it so conservatively is also self-aware. It takes a lot of money to recruit, raise, and train soldiers, but now the imperial court is so poor that the money is in the minister's house, not in the treasury, and it can't pull out the military salary, what are you pointing to to raise soldiers?

"There's no need to put so much pressure on yourself. ”

Luo Chong waved his hand: "With me here, you can hurt this brain, you can get some soldiers casually, just protect the city of Guanglingwei, and leave all the regional matters to me." ”

"Dude, what do you mean ......"

Liu Mingtang understood.

"I want a four-grade ranger general, and a thousand households in Guangling Town!"

Luo Chong said the official position he wanted, and as for how to operate, it was up to Liu Mingtang and them.

The Ranger General is a special kind of general, who can form no more than 500 cavalry, and can roam around the land (province) of a state at will, carry out mobile defense, and fight wherever there is unevenness.

Although you can fight guerrillas everywhere, you also have to have your own fixed territory to recuperate, so it is also allowed to control a guard house at the same time.

Luo Chong is already a thousand households of the fifth grade, this time the rebellion must take the lead, there is no problem to upgrade to the next level, and there is no problem with the ranger general of the fourth grade, but the money to buy horses and raise horses, definitely don't expect the imperial court to allocate funds to you, figure it out yourself.

There is no money, let alone five hundred, only five horses are also a ranger general, and no one sympathizes with you.

Therefore, people who don't know will think that Luo Chong's request is too stupid, and it is better to change to a more oily official position.

Liu Mingtang knew that since he said so, there must be a way, after a few days of being a thousand households, there were already a hundred cavalry.

is a fourth-grade official, he is not his subordinate, but this is no problem, Liu Mingtang never thought of controlling him, no matter what, he must be promoted at this level, and no one can suppress it.

Besides, his base is still in Guangling, and as a ranger general, if there is chaos in his territory, he will definitely take care of his own people first.

"Okay, I guess it's fine. ”

Liu Mingtang nodded in agreement, and then discussed with Luo Chong how the merits of other people should be considered, these people's names must appear in the credit book, and then they have to make some connections in the capital, and all links must be taken care of before they can be determined.

To put it bluntly, if you want the people above to take less credit for you, you have to spend more money! Spend money to keep your own credit, and today's officialdom is so nonsense, there is no way.

In fact, some of the senior officials above have long been unable to be promoted, or are unwilling to be promoted again (such as governors or general soldiers who have no much pursuit), they really don't care about this credit, and it is useless to occupy the past, but they are using this to blackmail you, if you don't give money, I will take you, what's the matter?

This is one of the unspoken rules of officialdom to honor money.

Under Luo Chong's subordinates, in addition to the officers who should be promoted to 100 households, there were several useless 100 households in Guangling Town, and Liu Mingtang was asked to transfer them all, which was one of them.

Wei Guangliang also said that he bought the credit, and Luo Chong directly took out two thousand silver tickets and gave them to Liu Mingtang, which was not only to share the spoils, but also to find the prefect for a small operation.

Then there is the issue of Xie Zhiyuan taking over as Hengyuan County, and there is also a mayor of Han, who should also be rewarded, and let him go to the neighboring county to be a magistrate, and cooperate with him in all aspects.

Mayor Han is a level-level transfer, but everyone knows that being a county official is much better than being in the poor guard, and he must be willing to jump high.

Speaking of which, the resettlement of refugees during this period of time really made him choke enough, and the whole person was a lot darker and thinner. If there is anything to say, Luo Chong will never wronged the person who works for him, even if there was some small friction before.

The appointment of the magistrate is not difficult, because of the rebellion, the county officials of several nearby counties have been slaughtered by the anti-thieves, and the vacancy of the position is obvious.
