"Since Mayor Zhu is so respected and respected by all brothers, I, Pang Feihong, would rather be respectful than obey his orders."
Pang Feihong clasped his fists and saluted the civil and military people in the hall, and bowed deeply, "I am willing to work together with all brothers to put down the rebellion and restore peace and prosperity to the people of Guizhou."
In this way, Liu Gongfu's position as battalion commander was considered to be a replacement.
After Zhu Renxia finished speaking, Jiang Guanjun stood up and spoke: "Since ancient times, during wars, soldiers and horses have gone ahead without moving food and grass. We have only nine hundred people on the expedition, so we don't need to transport food in advance, but we must have a special company to escort it. food."
Jiang Guanjun's eyes swept around and finally landed on Gao Tong: "Captain Gao, please lead the brothers of the 12th Company to escort the food."
Qualcomm clasped his fists and accepted the order: "Yes."
Zhu Renxia then said to Zhao Yun: "I am now the magistrate of Jinping County. I not only have to manage our Chang'an town, but also cannot neglect the county. Now I appoint you as the master of this county and go to the county to assist the county prime minister Liu Gongfu in handling government affairs." "
"yes."
Zhao Yun bowed and accepted the order. After giving the salute, he asked again, "Am I just going to the county seat empty-handed like this? Don't I bring some greeting gifts?"
Zhu Renxia laughed and said: "Of course not. I will allocate you thirty brothers from the waiting company to escort the grain and gold to the county. I boasted about Haikou in front of the boss, Wu Huaijie, and other officers. I want to take Five thousand taels of gold will be used to improve people's livelihood, build the county seat, and strengthen defense."
Zhao Yun also laughed: "I knew that with the mayor's generosity and generosity, he would definitely show something. Hehe, in this case, I will have the confidence to speak in front of those officials."
The fifth person shook his folding fan and said sourly: "Tsk tsk... Blessings depend on disasters, and misfortunes depend on blessings. Unexpectedly, in less than a year, Liu Gongfu actually took the position of county magistrate."
Jin Zhu next to him glared at him: "What? Are you jealous? Liu Xiancheng was a headhunter before, and he can be considered a well-organized person. Now he has made further progress. Isn't it a natural thing to be promoted to Xiancheng?"
The fifth person hurriedly defended: "No, no, I have worked with Liu Gongfu for many years and we are brothers. He can be promoted to the county magistrate. It is too late for me to be happy for him. How can I be jealous? I am just worried about whether this appointment will count. After all, the mayor He is just a seventh-grade county magistrate, and the county magistrate is eighth-grade. Normally, he has no right to appoint the county magistrate."
Zhu Renxia smiled calmly: "My fifth master, don't worry, I have studied this matter. I did not appoint Liu Gongfu as the county magistrate, I just recommended it. Last night I had revised the book for the prefect, so that he could He reports it to the governor, who will make the appointment."
The Jinzhu next to him, who is now learning and selling, explained seriously: "Since our Guizhou is currently in a state of war, the governor has the right to directly appoint officials below the county magistrate without having to report to the Ministry of Personnel. Therefore, as long as the governor nods, our Zhu The mayor of the town is the magistrate of Jinping County recognized by the imperial court, and Liu Gongfu is the magistrate of Jinping County recognized by the imperial court."
"Hmm...that makes sense!"
The fifth man shook his folding fan and said, "I forgot about this. Magistrate Li Yao is Jiang Futai's confidant. As long as Magistrate Li can nod, the appointment will be effective."
"After everyone goes out to fight, our Chang'an Town will fall on you, fifth brother." Zhu Renxia clasped his fists and saluted the fifth, entrusting him with an important task.
The fifth person received the folding fan and returned the gift: "Mayor, don't worry, with the help of three company commanders including Lu Buping, Ouyang Feng, and Jiang Jiao, I guarantee that the base camp will be as stable as Mount Tai."
Zhu Renxia continued: "This alone is not enough. You want to be Xiao He of our Chang'an Army. While stabilizing the rear, you must also ensure the supply of supplies and even replenish troops for the front line."
"The county magistrate thinks so highly of me, then I will be your Xiao He in fifth place."
The fifth person closed the folding fan, stuck it in his collar and scratched his back, "Actually, I would rather be Zhang Liang."
Jin Zhu couldn't help but interject: "Then who is Han Xin?"
"Of course it's Commander Jiang."
"Then who am I?" Jin Zhu asked.
The fifth person bared his teeth and smiled evilly: "Of course you are the female Fan Kuai!"
"Get lost!" Jin Zhu blew his beard and glared in anger, "If I were Fan Kuai, you would be the insatiable Lu Wan."
Zhu Renxia raised his hand to stop the quarreling enemies: "Okay, stop talking here, everyone should go step by step and get ready for the battle."
Jiang Guanjun raised another question: "Because the imperial court prohibits the private manufacture of armor, we in Chang'an Town don't have a pair of armor. Now that we are going to fight, we can't let our brothers wear linen on the battlefield, right?"
"Don't worry, I've already asked. There are more than a thousand pieces of armor in the warehouse in Jinping County. We can just take them for use." Zhu Renxia replied calmly, like a strategizing generalissimo.
After the meeting, all the company commanders gathered their men and conveyed the order to go out.
Jiang Erhu led more than fifty minzhuang people from the "company to be formed" to load the trucks. He planned to load fifty trucks of grain before dark, and the other five thousand taels of gold were waiting to be loaded into the trucks until early tomorrow morning.
After the company commanders left the meeting hall, Zhu Renxia asked the fifth person: "Have Xie Yangxin and Chen Zhili come back? Tianzun is in urgent need of antiques. I am going to Guiyang this time and I may not be able to come back in a month or two." "
The fifth person shook his fan and said, "Chen Zhili and Yan Wen came back the afternoon before yesterday, and Xie Yangxin came back early this morning."
"That's good, otherwise I won't be able to explain to Tianzun." Zhu Renxia nodded happily, "They should all have received the antiques, right?"
The fifth person said: "I got it, it's just that Tianzun wanted it in a hurry. They didn't dare to go too far. They just wandered around the surrounding Tongren Mansion, Shiqian Mansion, Guilin and other places and collected some jade, porcelain and the like. The stuff doesn’t look very valuable.”
"It doesn't matter, Tianzun's requirements this time are not high. Where are these antiques now? We will dedicate them to Tianzun." Zhu Renxia said.
The fifth person said: "In the vault of the Warehouse Bureau."
Zhu Renxia immediately stepped forward and took the fifth place to the warehouse.
Li Xiang'er, the director of the warehouse bureau, took the key and opened the door of the vault. A pile of antiques appeared in front of Zhu Renxia. There were porcelains of various colors, emerald green, milky white jade, and some bronzes from different eras. There were all kinds of them, about a hundred. About ten pieces.
Zhu Renxia looked up to the sky and saluted Zhu Changan: "Please Lord Heaven lower your giant palm, and my disciple will order someone to present you with antiques."
Being in Chang'an Town is freedom. You can speak directly to Tianzun at the top of your voice without worrying about being judged as a lunatic, because the residents in the town have long been accustomed to strange things.
"Well done."
Zhu Changan praised him and placed his huge palm on the open space in front of the warehouse.
"Come here and help some brothers."
Zhu Renxia greeted five or six Minzhuang who were loading the truck, and moved these antiques into the hands of Tianzun with all their hands.
Zhu Changan took these millet-like antiques to the study, carefully took them out with a magnifying glass, and placed them one by one on the table to avoid damage due to collision.
After standing for two days, these antiques will become normal size. As cultural relics from the Wanli period, the average value should not be less than one million, so this handful of rice-like antiques is a small target of income.
"You are about to go on an expedition. I will reward you with more food."
Without waiting for Zhu Renxia's request, Zhu Changan sent in a bowl of rice, a bowl of refined salt, a bottle of Fenjiu, as well as some pork, coal, and flour, almost filling all the warehouses of the Warehouse Bureau.
While Zhu Renxia directed Minzhuang to load the truck, he also made a request: "We need fire blunderbuss for this expedition. Please ask Heavenly Lord to reward us with some more gunpowder."
Zhu Changan immediately came to the garage in the yard, opened some fireworks and firecrackers, poured the gunpowder inside into the can, and finally put it into the box.
"This gunpowder is enough to make tens of thousands of bullets. You have to store it in the back mountain, not inside the city. If it accidentally detonates, I'm afraid your town of Chang'an will be razed to the ground."
Zhu Changan took the wet wipes from Fang Rou and wiped the gunpowder on his hands, not forgetting to tell Zhu Renxia.
"Disciple knows, please rest assured Tianzun."
Zhu Renxia agreed and immediately sent people to the Firearms Bureau, asking Gao Dabeard to bring his workers to the warehouse to transport these dangerous goods to the back mountain.
