It took the Jiaoli County Magistrate half an hour to drive back to Jiaoli from the Duwei Mansion.
Since Zhang Qi recruited local people to pay to build the road, this straight road has added convenience to countless people.
Even Jiaoli County is a little more prosperous than before.
He got out of the car and nodded to the few guards escorting him.
The county magistrate first returned to the county government to handle official business.
Although there is not much official business, there is always something to do.
While handling official duties, he recalled everything that happened today in the Duwei Mansion. The county magistrate was still a little fuzzy at the moment. He couldn't figure out why Zhang Qi asked him to go. If it was solicitation, then he should have some guidance at least. There was nothing. Just had a meal.
Stayed at the county government office for a while.
Suddenly a person ran out from outside. Just as the county magistrate was about to get angry, he found that this person was in charge of his own affairs.
The county magistrate asked with some displeasure as his eyebrows furrowed.
"What's the matter?"
"."
The steward looked embarrassed. After waiting for a while, he hesitated and said: "Mr. Lang, you should go home and take a look."
The county magistrate frowned, but said nothing. He handed the official documents on his desk to the clerk beside him.
"I'm going home."
"County Lord, walk slowly."
The chief registrar handed over the job and took over the work of the county magistrate.
All the way back home.
On the gate outside the house, the plaque of Guzhai hangs high.
Magistrate Gu Xian stepped over the threshold and entered the main hall. Two boxes, both medium and small, were placed on the ground, wide open at the moment.
The white silver coins shine brightly.
"this"
Guxian Cheng understood why his own manager asked him to come home.
These two boxes of coins contain the white dragon, which has only become popular in recent years. One coin can hold three to five hundred coins!
"Who gave it to me? Have you ever checked it?"
Guxian Cheng turned to ask his steward.
The steward reported back directly: "It was sent by a few guards holding the waist badges of the Duwei Mansion. They have been counted and there are a thousand of them."
"Thousands."
"Fifty thousand dollars."
"I understand, this is buying the life of a certain family."
For a time, many pieces of information in Gu Xian Cheng's mind became a line, and he suddenly realized it.
"Oh, what a troubled time."
"Lang Jun, are you keeping these white dragons, or..."
The steward looked at Prime Minister Gu Xian who suddenly sighed and asked cautiously.
"Take it. If you don't, it will be difficult for your husband in the future."
Guxian Cheng waved his sleeves and asked the steward to put the two boxes of coins into the treasury.
Then he knelt down and sat in front of a table in the main hall, and asked the servant to take the cloth and brush and start writing something.
"Half a million dollars, the Marquis of Liao really thinks highly of a certain family. Since he is already a slave, he can simply accept it happily. At least the Marquis of Liao will not treat the certain family badly in terms of money."
As if to convince himself, Guxian Cheng was writing and talking to himself.
After a while, the steward came back from the warehouse and waited on the Prime Minister of Gu County.
"Forget it, go to the Duwei's Mansion in person, send this letter and the century-old mountain ginseng in the warehouse to Marquis Liao, and tell Marquis Liao to do whatever you want."
".This.No."
The steward handed over his hand and turned away.
——
"Look, I said that although the Magistrate of Jiaoli County is not an excellent person, he is still smart. No, the certificate of nomination has been handed over."
Zhang Qi held the cloth and said to Bai Xing with a smile.
Bai Xing covered his mouth and smiled: "Then send him beeswax tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, pick out a few clever spies from the web and send them to the county magistrate as good family members, so that he can arrange their posts."
"When they have a firm foothold, they can start beekeeping in western Liaoning."
"promise."
White Star surrendered.
"Report! Outside the Captain's Mansion, Lieutenant Huo Qubing, Uncle Zhang, Huo Jun, Li Ze and Li Jun are asking to see you."
At this time, the guards ran in and announced.
Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Let them in!"
"promise!"
After a while, the three people walked into the main hall.
"I've met the Marquis of Liao!" X2
"I've met my brother!"
At this moment, Zhang Qi had a smile on his face. He stood up to greet him and said, "Look who is here. You're a good brat. I heard that you achieved results by attacking the Huns' waist twice."
"Hehe, Captain, you deserve the reward."
Huo Qubing smiled shyly when he faced Zhang Qi. He hadn't seen him for several years, but now when he came to Zhang Qi here, he found that he still admired Zhang Qi to the same extent.
"Haha, brat."
Zhang Qi stepped forward and patted Huo Qubing's shoulder, then looked at Uncle Zhang beside him.
"It's rare to come back. I will take the time to go back to Liaodong to see Uncle Zhang. He is not young anymore."
"Yeah, it's time to go back and take a look."
Uncle Zhang looked melancholy, as if he had something on his mind, but Zhang Qi didn't ask.
He turned around and returned to his seat, looked at the three people below and waved his hands: "Please take a seat. Why are you here in Liaoxi this time?"
Huo Qubing and Uncle Zhang sat on both sides, but Li Ze did not. He came to Zhang Qizheng, took out a roll of cloth from his sleeve, opened it and read: "Liaohou Zhang Qi"
Zhang Qi's head was buzzing as he recited many difficult-to-pronounce words.
But there are only a few things behind the words.
one.
Zhang Qi took over the border defense of the five counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, Youbeiping, Yuyang, and Shanggu, and was responsible for defending against the Huns' border invasions.
two.
In May of next year, he led his troops out of the upper valley, attacked the grasslands, and plowed the courtyards and swept holes.
three.
Be on guard against Korea east of Liaodong.
I read it for a long time.
Li Ze held up his hands and waited for Zhang Qi to take the cloth.
Zhang Kai moved his fingers, and Bai Xing stepped forward to take it.
"My lord, Zhang Qi, Marquis of Liao, is here to receive the order."
Without getting up, Zhang Qi accepted the order dryly.
He has a headache now.
Liu Che's decision to let him lead the border defense of the five counties was definitely not due to his high level of trust in him.
On the contrary, this is extremely cautionary.
Some time ago, the spies who spun the web reported frequent military mobilizations in various places. I didn't think anything of it before, but the Han Dynasty had not seen frequent military mobilizations in the past few years.
Now that I think about it, I am stationing troops in another place.
Where will it be?
A map appeared in Zhang Qi's mind.
"Could it be"
A glint flashed in Zhang Qi's eyes.
There was some enlightenment in my heart.
He stood up and said, "Are you a lieutenant?"
Li Ze handed over his hand: "The last general will lead the army as a captain this time."
"Are you the guard captain?"
Zhang Qi looked at Uncle Zhang again,
Uncle Zhang stood up: "My brother has taken the post of captain of the army guard."
"Well, give him your captain's seal."
Zhang Qi pointed at Li Ze.
Then he said: "As the supervisor of the army, you will take the first step to coordinate the troops in the three counties of Youbeiping, Yuyang and Shanggu, inspect the ordnance, and make statistics one by one."
Li Ze looked at Zhang Qi without saying a word for a long time.
Zhang Qi also stared at him. As time passed, the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense.
Li Ze didn't expect Zhang Qi to be so direct, but when he saw the undisguised killing intent in Zhang Qi's eyes, he bowed and handed over his hand.
"Obey, the order of the Marquis of Liao."
"Um."
Zhang Qi nodded with satisfaction and looked at Bai Xing,
"Send a team of guards to protect us, but those soldiers injured the supervisor."
"promise."
