Beishan Fort is still the same.
The dilapidated city walls that have basically lost their defensive capabilities are said to be military households, but in fact they are farmers, men, women, and children.
It's spring now.
Military households with fields outside the city have begun to sow seeds. There are those who grow rice and there are those who grow wheat. It looks the same as in previous years.
But it's different.
In previous years. At this time, military households not only had to take care of their own fields, but also had to help small banners, general banners, and hundreds of households plow their fields for free. Their lives were hard.
This year, all the small banners, general banners, and hundreds of households, except Li Kun's family, sold their fields to Wu Nian.
They no longer need to help officials farm for free.
Instead, he helped Wu Nian farm the land. It was not free, but he was paid.
This is the gap, this is the pattern. Obviously they are all officials, but we, Wu Xiaoqi, are paid wages.
But what puzzled them was that all of Wu Xiaoqi's fields were planted with cotton. And Wu Xiaoqi also promoted it, calling on everyone to grow cotton together.
But even though they received Wu Xiaoqi's salary, they were very grateful. But no one followed the trend of growing cotton.
Why grow cotton? You can't eat that stuff. Sell cotton and buy grain. Isn’t this unnecessary, and you’ll also get the middleman’s price difference?
Beishanbao Baihu Office, during the period when Wu Nian was not around. Very organized and peaceful.
This is also rare.
After all, when Wu Nian was here, there would be big disturbances from time to time.
Things in Baihusuo are still the same. King Man City is no longer able to work. Li Kun and Chen Jinshi make most of the decisions.
today. The two of them came to the military camp together and sat in the main room of Baihu Mansion to discuss matters.
"Mr. Li Qi. Jin Baihu is not the same thing. We should report to the court and remove Jin Baihu."
Chen Jinshi held a cup of tea in his hand, raised his head and said to Li Kun.
"Why? Mr. Chen Qi has just taken office, and he wants to become a hundred households?" Li Kun said with a half-smile on his face.
"No way. I don't have enough qualifications to be a hundred households. This hundred households must belong to you, Mr. Li Qi." Chen Jinshi shook his head and said.
Li Kun was moved when he heard this.
Be an official. Who doesn’t want to go one step further?
Jinman City is half crazy now, but the Jin family refuses to move their butts and forcefully takes over the position of hundreds of households. A lot of money and food are withheld every month.
Li Kun was quite dissatisfied.
"What conditions do you have?" Li Kun had no ability, but the officer was very alert. He raised his head and squinted his eyes and said to Chen Jinshi.
Chen Jinshi's face trembled, and then he said shamelessly: "I would like to ask Mr. Li Qi to be the intermediary to help me intercede with Wu Xiaoqi and ask him to forgive me."
Li Kun was shocked, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.
Good guy.
Really good guy.
Ever since the last incident with the Liu Family Fist Sect, the newly appointed commander-in-chief was frightened to death by his brother. As the dignified general flag, he bows and bows to the subordinate flags.
I didn't even dare to come to apologize, and I had to ask him to be the middleman.
After Li Kun thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay."
This matter was a piece of cake for him. He believed that Wu Nian would give him face and stop worrying about Chen Jinshi.
and.
I want to move Kingman City down and take the position of hundreds of households. It can only be done with the help of Chen Jinshi.
Moreover. If he moves his butt, he becomes a hundred households. Then there is only one general flag left, isn’t it free?
We worked together to help Wu Nian up.
Everyone is happy.
"Thank you, Mr. Li Qi." Chen Jinshi's brows were filled with joy, and he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, thanking him again and again.
What happened that day really frightened him.
Liu Qiankun is a master of the Liu family's boxing sect, and he invited him back at a high cost. As a result, Wu Nian actually killed him right away.
Think again about Li Ding's death and Cheng Gao's disappearance. Chen Jinshi had been awake all night these days. After thinking for a long time, he felt that the only way out was to make friends with Li Kun and then beg for mercy.
Kneel down and beg for mercy, kneel down and lick for mercy.
Now that Li Kun agreed to this matter, he was half relieved. The remaining half was still left to Wu Nian to solve.
Without Wu Nian nodding, he would have been scared to death.
Just when the two reached an agreement, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. The two looked up and saw a soldier breaking in from outside.
"Two general banner lords. Someone claims to be Ban Bian Zhang, Zhang Youwei's manager, and wants to see Jin Baihu."
The soldier took a breath and bowed to the two of them.
"Half Zhang?" Li Kun and Chen Jinshi looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Although military households and civilian households are in two different systems, Ban Bianzhang is a prominent figure in the neighborhood. Their small household of 100 households cannot afford to suffer.
"Please." Li Kun straightened his posture and said to the soldiers.
"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.
Not long after, the soldiers ushered in a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face. Although he was a steward, he was actually wearing silk and satin and had an arrogant look on his face.
Li Kun and Chen Jinshi were immediately restrained. Domestic slaves all wear silk and satin. This is half of Zhang's financial resources. Is this confidence?
The two stood up. Li Kun raised his hand to the middle-aged steward and said: "This steward. I am Li Kun, the general flag of Beishan Fort. Our Jin Baihu is ill, and I am currently in charge of the Baihu Office. You have What's the matter?"
The middle-aged manager was very satisfied with Li Kun's attitude. He raised his hand and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Li Qi, and I am Shen Zhong."
"My master, Youwei, sent me here to ask how you manage people in Beishan Fort. Your subordinate Wu Nian kidnapped our third young master. You general banners and hundreds of households are all to blame. .”
At the end of the sentence, the middle-aged manager started to sound stern.
"Huh?!!!" Li Kun and Chen Jinshi were dumbfounded, and then took a breath of air-conditioning, sweating like rain.
Very meow.
We, the general bannermen, have to be polite to a half-hearted steward. It's not that he's afraid of this minion, but that he's afraid of half-assed power and prestige.
You, Xiao Qi, are so good that you directly kidnapped Ban Bian Zhang’s third young master?
Chen Jinshi originally wanted to form an alliance with Li Kun and ease the relationship with Wu Nian through Li Kun, but now he has murmurs in his heart.
This kid.
With such a boldness, Ban Bian Zhang would spare him?
Chen Jinshi was undecided, which was not surprising.
But instead of being heroic, Li Kun is a bit cunning. At the critical moment, he supported Wu Nian. He stretched out his palm and slapped the coffee table, stood up suddenly, looked at the middle-aged steward and said, "Don't be slanderous. Although our Beishan Fort is all military households with swords, they are also law-abiding military households. Xiao Qi is even more so. A seventh-grade military attache, not that green forest thief. How could we, Wu Xiaoqi, do kidnapping?"
In fact, Li Kun also suspected that Wu Nian did it. After all, this guy was extremely brave.
But now Ban Bianzhang has not produced any evidence, and has defended his brother first.
Li Kun is not completely loyal, but instinctive.
This kid Wu Nian has weathered many storms, thunder and lightning, and not only has he not fallen, but he has become stronger and stronger.
This time Li Kun bets that Wu Nian will still win.
Oh shit.
Although the odds of winning are low.
The other party is half-hearted.
"My brother. No. You are my father. What on earth are you doing." Li Kun wailed in his heart.
