Dou Ying cried with joy, but Dou Tong silently returned Cheng Shu to Kong Yiji.
"Master Dou..." Kong Yiji didn't understand what he meant.
Dou Tong looked up at the sky and said slowly: "Master Kong has the heart of a Bodhisattva, and he is destined to be with us. However, the officialdom is dangerous, and he is startling at every step. He is not steady on his feet, and we should not cause trouble for him. He has already sent Skylark to prison. I am satisfied with the great favor I have done to the Dou family."
"Yiji, you have to be a good supporter of Master Zuo and don't let him down. As for my father and daughter, I believe that our life will not be difficult if Master Kong protects us."
Kong Yiji wanted to say something else, but he stopped him, "The Dou family has already been defeated, let everything take its course." Kong Yiji left in tears. The first thing he did after taking office was to help Kong Fang bring peace to the people.
Qinghe County was looted by bandits, and people were in panic. As a government, it was time to step forward and calm the people. An Min can't just say a few high-sounding words and get over it hastily.
We must also let civilians see something that gives them peace of mind.
In fact, it is Kong Fang who hopes to feel at ease as soon as possible. Even if the trees are beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy them. Zhu Chongjiu on Litou Mountain would sooner or later target him. After all, he was just scared away and his strength was not damaged at all.
Once he thinks about it, he will definitely take revenge wildly. He doesn't want to have his head hung on the city gate to watch the scenery like Zhu Dachang.
He must recruit troops. Only by having soldiers in hand can his safety be guaranteed. Zhu Chongjiu claimed to have 100,000 troops, but according to intelligence, he only had 800 of his own troops on the mountain. He wanted to form 800 county troops to compete with them, but conditions did not allow it. Three hundred troops were already the upper limit of the number stipulated above.
He was an official of the Daxing Dynasty, and he would not dare to cross the red line no matter how unwilling he was. The recruitment went surprisingly smoothly. The first reason is that bandits raided the city and awakened the bloody nature of the civilians.
The second is the generous benefits provided by Kong Fang. Once hired, a settling-in allowance will be paid on the spot, a monthly military allowance will be paid, and additional rewards will be given for meritorious service. If there is a promotion, the allowance will increase appropriately.
For ordinary families, sending one person to serve as a soldier means that although the family loses a strong labor force, it also loses a mouth to eat food, as well as settling-in expenses and subsidies to subsidize the family, which is very cost-effective.
The Daxing Dynasty was short of everything, but not of people, just like the poor who couldn't afford three meals a day. Therefore, within half a day of releasing the recruitment list, the recruitment office was already overcrowded.
As long as they were of the right age, Kong Fang would not reject anyone who came, and would register them all, and then agreed to conduct an assessment the next day and eliminate the fittest.
Let professional people do professional things, and Kong Fang shamelessly left the assessment work to Luo Wenpeng. Luo Wenpeng was originally the leader of that group of energetic guys, and his energy had nowhere to go so he readily accepted the task.
He professionally and quickly selected 300 qualified county soldiers, and the next step was to train to death.
Kong Fang sat on the military parade platform and felt inexplicably excited when he saw these energetic soldiers who belonged to him. Time travel shouldn't be so exciting, just change your destiny. From a distance, he saw a tall, sturdy man who looked familiar. He asked Fang Shibo beside him:
"Shibo, who is that person? Why does he look familiar to me?"
Fang Shibo looked along his fingertips, his eyes fixed, and then he squirmed, "He is Juanjuan..."
"Her father." Kong Fang suddenly realized.
"Isn't it good for him to kill pigs? Why does he want to switch to killing people?" The fool he made on his first day as county magistrate made him understand that pig butchering in the Daxing Dynasty was a relatively high-end profession.
He has no worries about food, clothing, and a certain social status. Has Fan Kuai been kicked out of his head by a pig?
"On the day the bandits raided the city, his home was also robbed. He couldn't hold back for a moment and resisted. As a result, he was not only beaten up by the bandits, but also drenched in urine by the bandits and forced to drill their crotches several times." Fang Shibo finally told the truth.
Kong Fang understood clearly.
Others join the army for money and a mouthful of food, but Butcher Fan does it to avenge the insult!
The best soldiers are of course those who have a deep hatred for the enemy. Although Kong Fang did not understand military affairs, he did understand human nature. Hatred of the enemy can stimulate a person's potential and ensure his loyalty.
"Okay. After the training is over, we will arrange a team leader for him." Kong Fang had a problem in his mind, and he suddenly thought of who would lead the team of 300 people.
He didn't understand the military organization of the Daxing Dynasty, so he decided to learn from the organization methods of the previous life.
A brigade of 300 people is divided into five small teams; a small team of 60 people is divided into five classes. Each small team has a team leader and each class has a squad leader.
He asked Luo Wenpeng to leave one of his soldiers to be his captain. Although the county soldiers are not regular troops, their size of 300 troops should not be underestimated. Although Luo Wenpeng is a school captain, he only has about 500 men under his command.
For a soldier to become the captain is obviously because the ancestral graves are smoking.
It's a pity that he was rejected by Luo Wenpeng, who also laughed at him for begging for food while holding the gold bricks. Kong Fang looked confused and had no idea where the gold brick Luo Wenpeng was talking about was.
Luo Wenpeng said nothing, dipped his fingertips in tea, and wrote a name on the table:
Fang Shiqing.
I go……
Luo Wenpeng was right, he had indeed ignored Jin Xiangyu.
Thinking back to when Wu Mazi besieged Fangjiazhuang, although he was ultimately defeated by Zhentianlei, if Fang Shiqing hadn't stayed calm in the face of danger and commanded it well, Fangjiazhuang would have been bloodbathed by bandits before Zhentianlei could do anything.
The point is that her long-cherished wish is to become the version of Hua Mulan and Mu Guiying of the Daxing Dynasty, and she can just do what they like.
However, he quickly hesitated.
There was no other reason. Fang Shiqing didn't regard him as a green onion at all. He was worried that his hot face would be stuck in a cold butt. But the scandal at home should not be made public, so he did not tell Luo Wenpeng about his worries.
After bidding farewell to Luo Wenpeng, he turned around and went to seek help from his cheap sister-in-law.
Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law, who had always been considerate, actually refused with a sly look. Even though Kong Fang offered her the position of deputy captain, she refused.
Kong Fang was extremely speechless, holding his huge head and feeling depressed.
Fang Shiyi saw him looking depressed, which was pitiful and ridiculous at the same time. He is talented and unparalleled in wisdom, but he prejudices his sister like a mouse meets a cat. They are really a pair of natural enemies.
"Brother-in-law, don't you think about why my sister left all the family affairs behind and came to Qinghe County with you?"
She finally couldn't bear it anymore and whispered to wake him up.
Sure enough, one word woke up the dreamer. He took stock of Fang Shiqing's series of magical operations since receiving the appointment certificate, and it turned out that she was extremely caring. She is usually indifferent to herself, most likely because she has no future.
He is now successful. As the wife of a famous matchmaker, she will of course give her full support, and her attitude towards him may also change greatly.
After figuring it out, Kong Fang rushed to find Fang Shiqing and thought of his words on the way.
