Everyone said one after another: "Since the Heavenly Lord has a decree, the mayor can just handle it directly. Don't worry about the town's affairs."
Jiang Guanjun frowned and said, "I heard from the Fifth Master that Wulong Mountain is a bandit's lair. Can you let me help you?"
"No, no."
Zhu Renxia hurriedly refused: "With Tianzun protecting us, we can be safe even if there are thousands of troops. But all the three hundred killers sent by Tian Zongren last time were killed, and even Zhang Baichu died. He will definitely not give up like this. .”
"Either he will send someone to inquire about the information, or he will send someone to seek revenge, so you must not be careless and must take better precautions to prevent what happened last time from happening again."
"I'm afraid they won't come!"
Jiang Guanjun raised his head and drank the wine in the glass. "I will polish my silver gun and wait for them. It is best for Tian Zongren, the dog official, to come in person!"
The fifth one echoed: "Don't worry, mayor. In the past few days, more than 30 strong men have come to our village. The number is almost the same as before. Coupled with the training of the Sanli brothers, the fighting power of the strong men has been greatly improved." Much enhanced.”
"yes!"
Liu Gongfu picked up a skewer of roasted mutton and feasted on it, "Brother Sanli is a serious soldier. Under his training, Minzhuang's combat effectiveness has improved by leaps and bounds in the past few days. I feel that it is simply better than the militia at the inspection station, or even better than the militiamen at the inspection station." The county government officials are even more powerful."
"Well...I am a bandit after all."
Jin Zhu felt a little uncomfortable, "I'm really not good at teaching Minzhuang, so I can only be a personal bodyguard."
"Miss Jin, you are being humble. When you first taught them, they were all farmers who had never touched a sword or gun, so their progress was relatively slow. But the reason why they are making rapid progress now is entirely due to the foundation you laid for them."
Jiang Guanjun raised his glass and said, "Come on, let me toast Miss Jin!"
Jin Zhu's worries turned into joy, she had a drink with Jiang Guanjun, and said happily: "Thank you, third brother, for the compliment."
After downing a glass of wine, Jiang Guanjun said thoughtfully: "I have something, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
"Third uncle, it's okay to talk."
Zhu Renxia put down his chopsticks with a smile, "You have been in the army for many years and your experience is far more than ours. What you said is definitely not wrong."
Jiang Guanjun nodded slightly and said: "There are six to seven hundred brothers from our Qi family army who were sent home. Among them are many fatherless, motherless, and even homeless bachelors. I want to gather them to our Chang'an Town.
First, there is a place where we can farm and feed ourselves, and second, it can help us defend our homeland. They are veterans who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is even better than that of guards and recruits. "
"That's great!"
Zhu Renxia couldn't help being happy, and hurriedly picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Jiang Guanjun, "We in Chang'an Town are short of young men right now."
"I'm just afraid that the government will accuse me of forming a clique for personal gain and plotting evil intentions." Jiang Guanjun touched his angular chin and fell into deep thought.
The fifth person chuckled: "This is easy to handle. Anyway, the mayor has more and more money. When the time comes, he will go to the drought-stricken place to buy some women and help them all get married and start a family. When the time comes, men will farm and women will weave, who will dare to Are you saying we have evil intentions?"
Liu Gongfu agreed: "This is a good idea. When I was working in the Yamen, I heard that Shaanxi has been experiencing severe disasters in recent years, including drought and locust plagues. I don't know how many poor people sold their sons and daughters.
These men who retired from the Qi family army must be strong-willed men. If you can buy those women who have no money to eat and make them wives, it will be considered the beauty of an adult and a great good deed. "
Zhu Renxia immediately agreed: "That's it. Our Chang'an Town's income will be guaranteed first. We will recruit homeless Qi family soldiers and give each of them a daughter-in-law."
Qin Xianglian couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard this, and hurriedly stood up to bow and express her gratitude.
"When my late husband was still alive, he was most concerned about the athletes under his command. Many of them were young men in their early twenties. Because their parents died at home, they recruited soldiers to serve the court.
Unexpectedly, they went to Korea for three years and fought bloody battles for the country without receiving any pay. I really don’t know how they felt when they returned to their hometown. If the mayor can help them get married and start a business, so that they can farm and have food to eat, I think even Uncle Jiguang’s spirit in heaven will be happy! "
"Sister-in-law, your words are serious, please get up quickly!"
Zhu Renxia hurriedly stood up and helped Qin Xianglian up. He said half seriously and half jokingly, "Well... the third uncle is almost thirty years old this year and is still alone. We also have to find him a wife."
"Um."
Qin Xianglian's eyes moved slightly, and she nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Jiang has reached his thirties, and it's time to start a family. I have advised her many times to find a suitable girl, but he always turned a deaf ear..."
As Qin Xianglian spoke, her eyes fell on Jin Zhu: "Hmm... I wonder how old Miss Jin is this year?"
Rao was usually a sharp-tongued person with a sharp personality, but when Qin Xianglian asked him this question, Jin Zhu suddenly panicked.
"Sister Qin, don't ask me. I'm a man who fights and kills all day long. I don't plan to get married."
Then the conversation changed, "Sister, aren't you alone? I think you should just make do with Third Brother!"
Qin Xianglian said hurriedly: "I am already a mother of two children and a woman in her thirties. How can I be worthy of Brother Jiang? Sisters, please don't make fun of me!"
Jiang Guanjun hurriedly interrupted everyone's discussion: "Jiang is a martial artist who only knows how to kill enemies on the battlefield and does not understand the love between children. What kind of family will I have? Let's talk about business."
Liu Gongfu laughed loudly: "I am also a bachelor, but my wife got married to Xinruan and ran away with someone else, so I don't want to marry a wife anymore. I can still live a happy life alone."
"Our two wives."
The fifth person made a "sizzle" sound and took a sip of wine. "Women are such things. You have to put in effort to coax them."
"Who are you talking about?"
Jin Zhu shook her fist, "Believe it or not, I will tell your sister-in-law?"
"Ahem... Let's talk about business, why are you making trouble again?"
Jiang Guanjun put down his chopsticks and glanced at everyone, "In the military camp, laughing during discussions will cost you a military stick."
Zhu Renxia said seriously: "Third uncle, go on."
Jiang Guanjun said: "I want to win over these brothers, but I am afraid that Tian Zongren will send killers to attack our town. Do you have a way to have both?"
"My flesh wound is almost healed. Brother Sanli, please write a letter and I will find someone for you." Liu Gongfu clasped his fists and asked for help.
"Haha... Brother Gongfu is from Shandong, so it's perfect for you to go on my behalf."
Jiang Guanjun was overjoyed when he heard this, "I have a brother named Hou Jie who is from Taishan, Shandong. He is twenty-six years old this year. He once served as the general flag under me and is quite well-connected. I wrote a letter and asked him to go If you win over other brothers, you will definitely gain something."
Qin Xianglian said: "Brother Jiang, have you forgotten Mr. Pang Bai? He is also an upright and hot-blooded man. Why not summon him to our Chang'an Town as well?"
"Could it be that sister-in-law is talking about Pang Feihong?"
Jiang Guanjun frowned and asked, "Brother Pang's riding skills are the best in the entire army. Of course he is a rare talent. But he is arrogant and dedicated to being an official. I'm afraid he may not be willing to settle in our valley." "
Qin Xianglian said: "Brother Feihong and my husband live in a neighboring village. When they talk about it, they call me cousin. His parents have passed away, and there are only two honest brothers in the family. I will edit a letter for him and ask him if he is willing to come. , nature is best, don’t force yourself if you don’t come.”
"Then I'll help my sister-in-law repair the book."
Jiang Guanjun then said to Liu Gongfu: "After I get home tonight, I will write a letter to Hou Jie and draw up a list. I can help my brother Gongfu to take it with him, along with the letter written by his sister-in-law to Mr. Pang Bai, so that they can Recruit brothers to come to Chang'an Town to work together on big things...to farm and farm together."
Zhu Renxia was overjoyed and raised a toast: "The athletes of the Qi Army are brave and good at fighting. If we can recruit a hundred people, we in Chang'an Town can sit back and relax."
Everyone drank the wine in their glasses one after another, and just as they were about to end the banquet tonight, the fifth person suddenly remembered something.
"Ahem... Everyone, please stand up. I've thought of another idea. Let me tell you. Let's listen. Is it feasible to consult on this matter?"
