Chapter 083 In those places that cannot be seen

The feeling of some depression was completely different from Xu Xingxia. The military households on the sanitary ground were shocked. They had almost no sad expression. On the contrary, many young military households seemed eager to try and could not wait. The main reason was of course the white silver liang in the cloth bag. Unfortunately, they could get nearly 100 taels of silver in the battle. Such a thing was unprecedented and unheard of in Ningxia Town. This made all military households let go of their last worries and joined the army enthusiastically.

A pension of one hundred taels of silver is definitely a big deal for the first time. Even if you die in battle, you can bring a small amount of wealth to your family. If you can kill one or two Tartars by chance, the whole family will be completely changed. To be more cruel, this is simply a way to make money! For a moment, the young army and the idea of ​​joining the army became stronger. The fear of death also weakened a lot. They were all eagerly looking forward to when Xu Xingxia would recruit soldiers again.

Of course, some people are happy and some are worried. In a corner next to the glutinous rice field, Wang Shoulu, a hundred households, was like a dormant poisonous snake, staring at Xu Xingxia secretly. His eyes were absolutely vicious. Xu Xingxia, who was supported and loved by the military households, was a thorn in his eyes and a thorn in his flesh, and he had to be removed. However, he could only watch silently. If he wanted to deal with Xu Xingxia directly, he definitely did not have the courage to do so.

What Wang Shoulu didn't notice was that behind him, there was still a sharp gaze staring at him quietly. This person was Wang Qinian. After Xu Xingxia returned to Weizhen Fort, Wang Qinian also came down from the city wall. However, he did not approach Xu Xingxia, but silently observed everything around him near the sanitary yard.

The detailed military achievements were also counted. Mao Shisan, Lin Dacheng, Chen Shouwang and others all had military achievements. In addition to Xu Xingxia, there were eight people in Niujiaoduan who had military achievements. The other military achievements fell on Xu Xingxia. Xu Xingxia's military achievements were 53 in total, and if exchanged into silver, it would be 1,590 taels. This is also a very good fortune.

"Lao Yu, I'll ask you about military merits." Xu Xingxia said to Yu Lijun.

"Don't worry, sir, I will do my best." Yu Lijun said calmly.

Xu Xingxia nodded and said nothing. He believed that Yu Lijun would definitely find a way to exchange his merits into silver as soon as possible. However, Xu Xingxia was always a little uneasy in her heart. This uneasy did not come from Yu Lijun, but from his boss. He always felt that it might be difficult for the boss to take out so much silver at once. Or, the boss was unwilling to take out the money.

Why did he feel this way? It is mainly because he had a deep understanding of the bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty in later generations. The bureaucratic system of the Ming Dynasty was almost completely corrupt in the late Wanli period. All the officials were just a simple person and just lived a life of corruption. Every official regarded making money as the top priority in his life. Without money, let alone anything. It is probably not easy to get the money from them. But at present, Xu Xingxia has no better way, so he can only go through the procedures.

Weizhen Fort is close to the innermost shop in Chang Street. This shop sells daily groceries, which is considered a time-honored brand in Weizhen Fort. A few days ago, the shop changed its owner. The original owner went to Pinglu City. The new owner, named Wang Qinian, is said to have something to do with Xu Xingxia. However, Wang Qinian has a strange temper and rarely comes into contact with people. Basically, he moves alone. The military households in Weizhen Fort rarely come into contact with him.

After Wang Qinian returned from the gravel drying yard, he returned to his shop. What was strange was that after opening the door and entering the shop, he closed the wooden door again, obviously without the intention of doing business. The businessman entered the room inside, sat down in front of a table, took out a pen, ink, paper and ink, and prepared to write a letter.

After pondering for a long time, Wang Qinian started writing. When writing the letter, his expression seemed very focused and pious, as if he was writing a letter to a very remarkable figure, and he did not dare to have any blasphemy or contempt. If Xu Xingxia was here, he would definitely recognize the words that raised his head: "Minist, Jinyiwei, a hundred households, Wang Qinian, reported secretly..."

Ningxia City, the general's office, and the martial arts training ground.

As the general officer of Ningxia Town, Li Guozhen likes to practice martial arts very much. Whenever he has time, he will go to the martial arts training ground to fiddle with a big sword. The weapon he used to fight was a special big sword, weighing more than 30 kilograms. He is 48 years old this year, and he is in his prime, and his whole body exudes a strong aura. With a strong figure and thick hands and feet, he looks very majestic. In fact, as a general officer, basic force is still necessary. Otherwise, you will not be able to suppress the people below.

The position of general officer of Li Guozhen was not obtained from hereditary. He turned out to be just a hereditary thousand households. However, he had a good time and a good place. When he was hereditary thousand households, it happened to be when He Bai launched a rebellion. He stood boldly on the side of the court and led his army to fight against the Bai Bai rebels, which was deeply appreciated by the court. After the rebellion was quelled, his official positions naturally continued to rise.

"Sir, report to the front."

Someone came in a hurry and handed Li Guozhen a secret report.

Li Guozhen put down the big knife, opened the secret report, read it briefly, and went back to the study next to him. Although he was a military officer, he knew a lot of words and had his own study in the yamen. After all, when he was in the position of general officer, there were many civil affairs. If you didn't even know a big character, you would not be able to achieve the position of general officer.

"What are you doing with so many things?"

Li Guozhen frowned and put the secret report on the table with some dissatisfaction.

On the desk in Li Guozhen's study, there were two war reports, both about Xu Xingxia's killing of the Tartars. The latest secret report in his hand was also about Xu Xingxia. Logically speaking, if his subordinates have such a record, those who are superiors should be happy. The subordinates have record, and of course the boss also has credit. After rewards, the boss can get one. However, Li Guozhen did not seem to be happy. On the contrary, his face seemed a little solemn and a little dissatisfied.

After a long time, Li Guozhen put all three battle reports in the drawer and locked them up. Then, he continued to go to the martial arts training ground to play with the big sword, as if he had completely forgotten this. If someone had a careful observation, he would find that Li Guozhen was much more fierce when he was dancing the big sword, and he seemed to have something unpleasant in his heart and needed to vent.

Ningxia City, the governor's yamen, think about the court.

Many civil servants in the Ming Dynasty liked to set up a memorial ceremony. Every day when handling official duties, they would come to this memorial ceremony to stay for a while. The main purpose was to reflect on themselves and see if there were any major loopholes in the affairs handled today and whether there were any areas that needed improvement. Over time, memorial ceremony became the standard equipment for civil servants.

There is also such a silence in the Ningxia Governor's yamen. At this moment, Governor Li Maohui stood in the silence in the silence in quietly pondering. Li Maohui is from Anxi, Quanzhou, Fujian Province. He was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Wanli. Among the second-rank officials in the court, he is definitely considered an old qualification. The only people who are older than him are Zhou Jiamo, Zhao Nanxing, Sun Wei and others.

Li Maohui held three battle reports in his hand, all about Xu Xingxia. Originally, as the governor, he should be happy as the good news sent from the front. However, Li Maohui was not happy. On the contrary, his face seemed a little gloomy. After coming out of the Seichen Court, Li Maohui sealed all three battle reports and regarded them as non-existent.

Ningxia City, Prince Qing Mansion, and Suyuzhai.

King Qing Zhu Shuixin was practicing calligraphy with great interest. Zhu Shuixin was the tenth generation of King Qing of the Ming Dynasty, and he was in his fifties this year. His father was the original King Xian Zhu Shenyu. The original King Qing was not liked by Emperor Wanli. So, in the 23rd year of Wanli, as the second son of King Xian, he came to Ningxia Town and succeeded King Qing.

Someone came in quietly and handed Zhu Shuaixian a secret report. Zhu Shuaixian put down his brush and read the secret report slowly. The expression on his face slowly stretched out and said lightly: "This Xu Xingxia is very busy! Okay, keep going!"

After saying that, I picked up the brush and continued practicing calligraphy.

Ningxia City, Qingwang Mansion, and back garden.

The Ningxia Plain, known as the Jiangnan River, is very pleasant in April. The air is fresh, the sun is bright, the grass is long and the warblers are flying. From time to time, you can see flying swallows in the sky. The Qing Palace is a pure Jiangnan courtyard style, with pavilions, towers, rockery and water pavilions, all of which are available. There is a hint of tranquility in wealth, a hint of retelling in luxury, and a hint of simplicity in gorgeousness.

In the pavilion in the back garden, there was a beautiful and noble woman playing the piano alone. She was wearing a long green sleeved shirt woven in green silk, decorated with water ripples. Not only was it green, but the water light appeared and reflected colorful light in the sunlight, which was so beautiful. The collar of the sleeved shirt was slightly lowered, and a white and light pink shirt on her chest was slightly exposed. For this reason, she clasped a pair of jade chains on her shoulders, which was as thin as a cicada wing, and a light gauze coat, which was as thin as a cicada wing, and a long sleeves were floating, like a god.

This beautiful and noble woman is Princess Qing Su Xiaoxiao. The men in Ningxia Town almost all know her beauty. Of course, due to her noble identity, no one dares to mention her name in public places, which is a taboo. However, the more beautiful she is, the more noble she is, the more obsessed she is. In Ningxia Town, there are two beauties, one is Princess Qing, and the other is Mrs. Lin of the Lin family.

A maid came and quietly handed Su Xiaoxiao a secret report. After reading the secret report, Su Xiaoxiao had a graceful and luxurious face without any expression. She slowly stood up, walked to the edge of the pavilion, tore the secret report apart, and threw it into the pond below. A group of koi floated up and swallowed all of these fragments.
