When the Academy of Sciences was initially on track, Liu Pei breathed a sigh of relief. Then he started busy and officially took over the work of the garrison. Some time ago, Liu Pei was too busy and never took over the garrison and the army. He only sent food and wages to the troops to ensure

They remained stable. This time Liu Pei officially took office.

There is almost no difference between when he took office this time and when he took office in Qianhu. The old-fashioned exercises were to suppress, win people's hearts, install confidants, clean up the old and weak, replace the original soldiers with his own servants, and send the laid off old and weak to farm.

In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the garrison army, there was another set of military teams, which were roughly the nature of field troops. The garrison was the local army. The two sets of teams overlapped. Some people served as both field troops and guards at the same time.

There are two positions in the institute. For example, Liu Pei concurrently served as the Qianhu and Jiaozhou garrison at the Qianhu Station in front of Fushan.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the officials were in charge of the Ming Dynasty and the military discipline was strict, so the field troops were nothing more than airs. When fighting was needed, soldiers could be drawn from the guards. In the late Ming Dynasty, the guards were corrupted, and the soldiers drawn were not soldiers at all.

It was impossible to fight! So the field troops were converted to a standing and recruiting system. Guard soldiers were completely abandoned. The official positions of the field troops were gradually separated from those of the guard stations.

After officially accepting the garrison, Liu Pei became depressed again. The reason is very simple, he has no money again! Now Liu Pei spends all his money by relying on the fleet to rob outside. The reason is that Liu Pei did not calculate the expenses and spent money to buy land.

Too much!

Just when Liu Pei was thinking about how to get some money, the soldiers informed that the flower shopkeeper brought a friend to see him. Liu Pei was happy when he heard it! A fat sheep is coming to his door! Let's borrow tens of thousands for two weeks and then transfer it.

Liu Pei and Hua Shufeng have a very good relationship, so Liu Pei went directly to greet her outside the gate. As soon as Liu Pei left the gate, she saw Hua Shufeng talking to a person. This person's figure was very similar to Hua Shufeng, both were round.

He is of medium height and has a fair complexion. But his face is round, but his eyes are not big! When squeezed by the fat, his eyes look even smaller. However, his eyes are so bright that they should not be underestimated.

What's more unfortunate is that he has a flat nose under his small eyes. He only has a mouth, which is the only normal facial feature. So at first glance, this person can be described as ugly!

However, Liu Pei was familiar with Huashufeng and knew that Huashufeng had a very high vision and could stand with him and talk and laugh happily. Therefore, he did not despise this person in his heart. He stepped forward to give Huashufeng some advice.

After seeing the gift, he said: "Brother, how come you have time to come to me today?"

When Huashufeng saw Liu Pei salute, he hurriedly stopped him and said: "My dear brother, you must not salute! It's fine if you do it in private. This is the entrance of the garrison mansion, and you are wearing official uniform. You

If you salute me, it will bring disgrace to the court! If someone sees me, it won’t be worth reading your book!"

Liu Pei patted his head and said: "Thank you for the reminder, brother. I forgot about it for a moment! But I know that brother is busy here. Why do you have to come here today?"

Huashufeng laughed and said: "It's not me who came this time, but he dragged me here! Come, come, come, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Liu Pei Liu, the Jiaozhou garrison. His pseudonym is Congyu."

Then he pointed to the people around him and said: "This is a good friend of mine. He is also from Shandong. His surname is Fang and his given name is Degang. His surname is Guiren."

Liu Pei and Fang De said after the ceremony: "Brothers, this is not the place to talk. Let's go into the house to talk."

The three of them entered the garrison, and the soldiers served tea. The three of them talked slowly. Huashufeng formally introduced Fang Degang to Liu Pei. Fang Degang was from Dengzhou Prefecture, Shandong. He was known as a child prodigy when he was young. 15

He was selected as a scholar at the age of 17. He was selected as a scholar at the age of 17. He was awarded a Jinshi at the age of 20! He can be said to be a dragon or a phoenix among people! But because of his unattractive appearance, he was not liked by Shangguan, so he was only dismissed from the position of a remote county magistrate.

It happened that Fang Degang still felt that he had a lot of skills that he wanted to display, and he wanted to show his ability to Shangguan. So he began to show off his talents in office. But after all, he was a newcomer to the officialdom. He knew the darkness of human nature and had never seen it before.

The horror of people's hearts. Just when he felt that he was getting closer to his goal, he was tricked by the local gentry and the officials in the yamen, and he was accused of embezzlement of public funds. He had just been convicted.

The county magistrate who has been serving for many years has been removed from office!

After being dismissed from his post, Fang Degang was still ignorant and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, a conscientious clerk in the yamen quietly explained the cause and effect of the matter to him. Fang Degang just woke up from a dream. After that, Fang Degang stopped serving as an official.

, he only traveled around, visited virtuous people, discussed the secrets of governing the country, and increased his knowledge. Later, after meeting Huashufeng, the two of them liked each other quite well and became friends.

Hua Shufeng said: "I don't know where I heard the name of the wise brother in Gui Nhon, so I came to Jinan Mansion to find out about me. Knowing that we are familiar with each other, I begged me to recommend him. I have so many things to do, how can I have time?"

I just said to write him a letter and ask him to bring the letter to you. But he refused. I was helpless by him, so I had no choice but to come with him to find you. You just happened to be promoted to the garrison, so I stopped by to drink with you.

Promotional wine!"

Liu Pei laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "It's okay to drink! It just costs 50,000 taels of silver to drink!"

Huashufeng said in surprise: "What kind of wine did Brother Xian prepare? It costs 50,000 taels to drink? Could it be that it is made from immortal wine?"

Liu Pei said: "There is no fairy wine, only the best bamboo

Ye Qing! I want the money because my little brother’s accountant made a miscalculation. As a result, I spent all the cash in my hand. Now I’m in the red, so I have to ask my brother for a loan!”

Huashufeng deliberately pretended to be angry and said: "This person is extorting money from people just after being promoted. He must be a corrupt official! I don't have any money, so let's see if you can bring me some wine!"

The three of them laughed immediately. Huashufeng wrote a handwritten note and asked Liu Pei to arrange for someone to get the money. Then Liu Pei hosted a banquet for the two of them. After three rounds of drinking, Liu Pei asked Fang Degang and said, "I don't know where my dear friend is."

What advice can I give?”

Fang Degang said: "Where can I give you any advice? I just saw the novelty of the big department store, and I was a little excited. I wanted to know who came up with the idea. So I went to find my brother and asked. But I didn't expect that it turned out to be the handiwork of a wise brother.

My dear brother is indeed a great talent!"

Liu Pei said modestly: "No, it's just picking up people's wisdom."

A few people were chatting, and naturally they talked about the current government affairs. Fang Degang was a little drunk, so he said: "I have traveled around the world for more than ten years, and I only see that people's livelihood is in decline and bandits are everywhere. I am afraid that the world has reached a period of revolution!"

Huashufeng hurriedly grabbed the words and said: "My dear brother is drunk! Now that the Holy Emperor is on the throne and there are wise ministers assisting him, how can there be any kind of revolution?"

Liu Pei originally wanted to bring Huashufeng into his team, so he was not willing to miss such a good opportunity to slander the imperial court! He immediately said: "Brother Gui Ren is right! In the real world, Wen Tian and Wu are indifferent, and the imperial court does not want to make progress. Although it has not reached Ding,

It’s time for revolution, but it’s not far away.”

Huashufeng was a businessman and had always been timid. Seeing these two people talking nonsense, he sighed repeatedly and said: "You two worthy brothers, this is not what I should say. Drink, drink!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Degang burst out laughing and said, "Brother, do you know why I had to go to Jinan to look for you before I came to Jiaozhou? Because if I came alone, I might not be able to get out alive."

Liu Pei was shocked when he heard this. Huashufeng said angrily: "With Congyu here, I can guarantee your safety no matter what happens. Why is it like this!"

Fang Degang patted Huashufeng's arm and said, "Brother, you don't know that the biggest rebel in Shandong is right in front of you!"

Liu Pei was so upset at this moment that he even had the idea of ​​killing Fang Degang. But Liu Pei was not in a hurry. After all, this was the garrison mansion, and it was full of Liu Pei's soldiers. Moreover, they were far away at the moment, so he was not worried.

Fang Degang's words spread, so he just sat there and watched.

However, Huashufeng was a little unhappy. He said: "Gui Nhon, he got Congyu's official position with one blow! He only has a thousand people and dares to attack the Wenxiang Sect's ten thousand people. How can he be a rebel?"
Chapter completed!
