Chapter 177 Manpower
Jiang Chun stood by the window, squinting at the front yard.

From him, he could see the county lieutenant's office, and saw that Li Xia's two muliao had assigned a few yamen servants to take them out to handle errands.

And this is the second day Li Xia officially took office, and he has already started to work.

Just yesterday, Fang Yankai was determined to push him out; just last night, he swore that "Li Feiyu won't stay long", but today he has to get used to the fact that there is an extra magistrate in Qingfu County.

How the three magistrates get along with each other still needs to be adjusted.

"Martin Gui."

"The little guy is here."

"Purchase a table of wine and food in the evening, and the county will clean up the dust for Li County Lieutenant."

"Yes."

Jiang Chun pondered for a moment, and then ordered: "Say hello to the landlord again, find another place for Bao San and the others, and make the house of County Captain Lu vacant."

"The villain understands..."

Jiang Chun exhaled.

In this way, Li Xia can be accepted for the time being, and he can be allowed to move out of his house, hoping that the county government can restore its previous peace.

Taking a closer look, I saw that Li Xia had brought that unrestrained brat and that neither male nor female little book boy out of the county government office again...

~~
There was a knock on the door of the house in Shimen Lane.

Jiang Fan opened the door and was taken aback for a moment.

"Li Xianwei? The villain has seen Li Xianwei."

"Can I come in and talk?"

"Yes, county lieutenant, please... brother, the county lieutenant is here. Old Fu, boil a pot of water to make tea."

Amid the yelling, Li Xia stepped into the lobby, kicked away the messy jugs, and sat down.

Soon, Bao San walked in while putting on his clothes.

"The villain has seen Captain Li."

Li Xia looked at it, squinted his eyes slightly, and asked, "Haven't practiced much in two years?"

Bao San was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses and said, "Yes, Li Xianwei has sharp eyes since he hasn't fought the enemy for more than two years."

"Liu Bei's belly was raw, so he cried bitterly. Others laughed at him as hypocritical, but I understand this kind of sadness."

Bao San was stunned again, cupped his hands and said: "There is a deep meaning in the county captain's words, the villain can't understand it, but the villain is really bored."

"Sit down." Li Xia said, "I beat you yesterday, is your injury healed?"

"No, the bridge of the nose is probably crooked." Bao San said: "But during the sword fight, the villain also beheaded Li Xianwei a few times, Li County Lieutenant just doesn't blame him."

"That's just for fun. If it was on the battlefield, I would have been killed by you."

"That is." Bao San was not polite.

Liu Jinsuo was furious when he heard the words, and shouted, "What are you told to do instead of sitting down? Are you not convinced? Do you think you are tall? Are you as tall as me and the county captain?"

Bao San narrowed his one-eyed eyes and stared at Liu Jinsuo for a while.

"What are you staring at me for?!"

Bao San still stared at Liu Jinsuo, and slowly sat down on the stool.

Li Xia didn't care about this, and asked: "Since you have received the quota of public officials in the county government, and you get a share of the money, why don't you go to the government?"

Bao Sandao: "It's not that villains have nothing to do, the archers in this county were once trained by villains."

"Where did you work before?"

"In Shuai Yu's army."

"How did your eyes hurt?"

"In the 12th year of Chunyou, the Mongolian Wang Dechen tribe plundered Chengdu and attacked Jiading Mansion. The villain followed Yu Shuai to help. The army rations did not arrive, so the villain was transporting grain in a boat on the Minjiang River, and was shot by an arrow."

When Bao San said this, he grinned and said, "Just in this battle, Yu Shuai beat Wang Dechen like a dog and ran back to Hanzhong. If Yao Shi'an hadn't contacted Uncle Xie Fang to kill Yu Shuai, Yu Hui is another idiot." , now we are all calling back from Hanzhong.”

After finishing speaking, he looked down upon Liu Jinsuo.

Liu Jinsuo curled his lips and said, "Uncle Xie Fang was brought down by Li Xianwei."

Bao San sneered slightly, the contempt in his eyes was self-evident.

Li Xia didn't seem to notice, looked at Jiang Fan, and asked, "What about you? How did you hurt your hand?"

"My brother was injured in the eye, and the villain was shot in the arm by an arrow. He continued to paddle and was soaked in water."

"You were injured and didn't have any compensation?"

"Yes. I'll wait until I lose it."

Li Xia asked, "How about it?"

"The imperial court said Yu Shuai was corrupt, and it was not enough to confiscate his family. They forced Yu's family to provide money to help the army. Mr. Yu Xiaolang asked for money everywhere, and finally managed to collect three thousand guan. They also said that Mr. Yu's name 'Yu Rusun' was "Having a child should be like Sun Zhongmou' means to slander him for having objections, and to question him. I took people to make trouble and was exiled."

After Bao San finished speaking, he looked at Li Xia, and said again: "I will not hide this matter from County Lieutenant Li, and I can't hide it. Either you get rid of my yamen servant, and I don't want to take the money."

Li Xia murmured, "Those two archers, Wu Ang and Hu Hu, are you convinced?"

"I can't convince you, it's because they have brotherhood."

"Can you still fight the enemy?"

Bao Sandao: "They are all crippled, and they even talk about killing the enemy."

At this point, there was a knock on the door.

Several people in the hall turned their heads and saw a lame man approaching, saying: "Brother, it's Martin Gui who came and said yes...give us another place to live."

Bao San seemed to be expecting it, and said: "You should answer him, I understand."

Li Xia said, "Liu Jinsuo, go and bring Martin Gui over here."

"Yes."

After a while, Martin Gui arrived in the hall, saluted and said: "The villain has seen Captain Li. It turns out that the county captain is here, and the villain is still looking everywhere."

"Where do you live for them?"

"There are still a few houses in the archer's house... County Magistrate Jiang wants to free up this house for the county lieutenant."

Li Xia asked, "Magistrate Jiang doesn't welcome me to live in Houya?"

"Of course not. County magistrate Jiang is afraid that the county captain will find it crowded and inconvenient."

"Then you go back and tell the county magistrate that I'm not too crowded, and I've paid for the food, and I'm willing to live with him for a long time."

"This... is." Martin Gui said: "In addition, the county magistrate held a banquet at Yingxiang Building at night to welcome the county lieutenant."

"Well, let's go."

Swinging Martin Gui back, Li Xia looked at Bao San again, and said, "Yesterday in the sword fight, you struck me eighteen times, and the wooden sword also broke."

"This..." Bao San got up, clasped his fists and said, "Please punish the county captain."

"You said you were blind and couldn't kill the enemy, but you could hit me?"

"Don't dare."

"I want to build a river patrol team in Qingfu County. I need the help of old soldiers. Are you willing to transfer there? By the way, the landlord has already agreed to this matter."

Bao San clasped his fists in response, and lowered his head, as if hesitating.

On the other hand, the lame man who came over just now had already turned around to sweep the floor. Hearing this, he walked over again and said: "County captain, if you are a navy officer, don't look at the villain as a cripple. He can handle two boats and paddles."

Han Qiaoer stood on tiptoe, leaned into Li Xia's ear, and said softly, "Brother Li, this name is 'Kong Muxi', and he was also on the stage yesterday, and I heard someone calling him."

Li Xia nodded, and said: "It's good that Muxi is willing to come, but I want to be selected. You must be really good at sailing a boat."

Kong Muxi didn't expect the county lieutenant to know his name, he was flattered, he quickly agreed, and turned to look at Bao San.

Bao San was still secretly looking at Li Xia, and said slowly: "I heard that the county lieutenant is from the Ding Party?"

Liu Jinsuo was impatient, and cursed: "Hey, it's the county magistrate who wants to hire you, not you. You don't know any rules. Can you inquire about the above matters?! No wonder you One-eyed mixed up like this!"

Li Xia didn't stop drinking.

In fact, he thought Liu Jinsuo was quite reasonable.

You can't use these people to avoid them when you see Ding Daquan and Jia Sidao in the future.

Seeing Li Xia acquiescing, Liu Jinsuo strode forward and said, "What a big man, mother-in-law! Why don't I fight you again, and if you lose, how about selling your life to my county lieutenant?"
