Chapter 178 Framework
County government.

"Why did Dong Weng accept Li Xia?"

"If you don't ask Zhizhou for help, you can't drive him away. And if you ask Zhizhou for help, you must first deny the strategy of patrolling the river he proposed."

Jiang Quan understood, and murmured: "Then I'm jealous of the virtuous and capable?"

Fang Zhengkai sighed helplessly, and said: "The county lieutenant appointed by the imperial court has backing and ability, but he just wants to return to his post, and he has made it clear that he is doing business, so what can we do?"

Jiang Quan said: "But this... the money for organizing the river patrol?"

"Give it to him. Send him to set up a new stove, or leave the county's military equipment untouched. We can talk about it after the autumn defense war. State affairs are the most important..."

At this point in the conversation between the two, Martin Guitong from outside the door came in and said, "Master."

"What's the matter?"

"The county magistrate asked the villain to tell the master that County Lieutenant Li went to Shimen Lane to look for Bao San."

"Speak carefully."

"Yes, the villain just passed the message for the second time, and saw that Liu Jinsuo next to Li County Lieutenant fought with Bao San, and the fight was so dark..."

"Why?"

"It is said that if Liu Jinsuo wins, let Bao San work for Li Xianwei in the future."

Fang Yankai frowned, he didn't like to bet hard all day long.

Jiang Wei sneered slightly: "Li Xianwei has no meritorious reputation. Sure enough, he always acts like a soldier in his actions."

"What happens next, who wins."

Martin Guidao: "The fight between the two was very vigorous. They fought for a long time, but Li Xianwei stopped it. He said that instead of fighting hard, it is better to leave it to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He also said that the fight was heated up, who would It's not good to get hurt."

"What did Bao San say?"

"He said... he would like to build a river patrol team for County Lieutenant Li." Martin Gui said, "When the villain left, they were going to look for Team Leader Wu."

"Team Wu?!" Jiang Yan's expression changed, and he said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"

"This... the master wants the villain to explain in detail."

Fang Yankai was quite calm, he recruited a handyman, and said: "Quickly go and invite the leader of Wu Squad, and tell him that I have something urgent to find him."

"Yes."

Fang Yankai said to Martin Gui again: "Go and tell County Lieutenant Li that if you want to organize a river patrol, other people can do it, but Team Leader Wu can't."

"Yes, but in this short morning, the villain has been ordered by the county magistrate and master book to look for Li County Lieutenant three times. This is really..."

"Go quickly and stop talking nonsense."

"Yes."

After dealing with these, Fang Yankai and Jiang Yan exchanged glances.

Jiang Yan smiled wryly and said, "This County Lieutenant Li has really vicious eyes. He has only been here for a day or two, and he has already weighed who is the talent in Qingfu County."

"It was me who was self-defeating. If we hadn't calculated him, how could Wu Ang say 'Brother Bao shouldn't be blind' yesterday? Ordinary soldiers don't have this kind of dexterity."

"He actually knows how to subdue Bao San before looking for Wu Ang. If he didn't keep an eye on him all morning, he almost made a big mistake."

Jiang Quan muttered to himself, turned to see Fang Yankai's tired expression, and asked, "Dong Weng, do you want to take a rest?"

"Let's talk about it when we see Wu Ang..."

~~
"Hey, the owner of this house is also stingy." Liu Jinsuo yelled, and then said: "Isn't he an archer squad leader? He should have been assigned by the county lieutenant."

Bao San was displeased when he heard the words, stared at Liu Jinsuo, and said: "I work with the county captain, but you are not allowed to speak ill of the master in front of me."

"If you don't say it, don't say it, how amazing?!"

"You're still finding fault."

"If you don't accept it, fight again!"

"Two years ago, I already beat you up!"

"I told you to..."

After Li Xia and Martin Gui finished talking, they turned their heads and took a look, and the two rough men immediately shut their mouths.

Bao San asked: "County officer, since Wu Ang has been invited away by the master, shall we go to look for Huhu? Huhuhu is also good."

"No, I have asked Martin Gui to invite me, and we will go back to Shimen Lane."

~~
When he arrived at Shimen Lane, he saw that the gate of the house where Bao San and others lived was open.

Across the alley, a leather craftsman came with a box.

"Liu Cobbler, why did you come here if you didn't leave home to make saddles?" Luhu asked loudly.

"You're being polite, Captain Li. County Lieutenant Li recruited the villain."

"It's a coincidence, so am I."

As Louhu said, he walked into the courtyard and only heard many people talking.

"The county captain is right. Prosthetic limbs have existed for a long time. According to legend, in the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Jing of Qi punished those who could not pay heavy taxes. A pair of prosthetics."

"Old man Chu is very knowledgeable."

"I dare not claim to be profound. However, it is the first time I have heard of the various methods of the county lieutenant, since the craftsmanship of our craftsmen is not passed on to outsiders."

"is it hard?"

"It's not difficult, but the so-called 'tool hand' still needs the cooperation of Blacksmith Yang to make many tools and put them on the hand."

Jiang Fan laughed and said, "If I had a shield in my hand, wouldn't I be able to fight the enemy again?!"

"Isn't that exhausting you? Take it with you all day long."

"Liu Jinsuo, are you stupid?" Jiang Fan said angrily, "What the county lieutenant said is that I can put all kinds of things in my hand and change them, do you understand?"

"Liu cobbler is here, let's talk about strapping."

"According to what the county captain said, it is necessary to measure the size of each person and order them one by one, but the joints of the tools installed on the prosthetic limbs should have the same specifications..."

"It's not difficult to make something finer, but it's just the money?"

"Everyone, go to the county government office to take charge."

"Xie Xianwei!"

Huohu probably understood what these people were doing, and the new county lieutenant invited craftsmen to make prosthetic limbs for these wounded soldiers.

This is not a great favor, but he also felt that Captain Li treated people differently.

He couldn't express this feeling, until Jiang Fan said, "Li Xianwei is thinking about us personally", Luhu felt that Han people speak differently, and they can have such words.

Li Xia turned her head and said, "Chuhu is here, let's talk in the hall."

Hug Hu clasped his fists in response, followed Li Xia to the lobby, but was stopped by Liu Jinsuo again.

"You reckless man, unload the knife."

Huohu was taken aback for a moment, then glared at Liu Jinsuo viciously.

He was short in stature, and standing in front of the thick and tall Liu Jinsuo, he had a fierce aura but did not lose the wind.

Bao Sandao: "Tiger, unload it."

"No need, come in." Li Xia looked at Luhu entering the hall, and asked, "Aren't you Han?"

"Correct."

"What race?"

Huhu said a few words out loud, babbling, making it difficult for people to understand.

Bao Sandao: "County officer, we all think he is from the Yi nationality, and 'Hua Hu' is not his name, it seems to mean that they believe in the Tiger God."

"Well, why did you become a team leader in the county?"

Bao Sandao: "When he was young, he was adopted by hunters who went hunting in the mountains. Later, he became an archer. The villain went to the county and taught him martial arts. He is very good at archery, and he has made great achievements in catching robbers. He became the leader of the team. "

"Yes!" Luhu said, "Brother is right!"

Liu Jinsuo grinned and muttered, "With these people, I am the smartest one here."

Hu Hu glared at him, and said fiercely: "I'm smarter than you."

"Hey." Liu Jinsuo dismissed it.

He felt that he occasionally had a flash of inspiration, and he also said a lot of insightful words to Li Xia, so why should he argue with a reckless man who can't speak clearly...

Li Xia looked at the three big men in the room and thought for a while.

Among the squads in Qingfu County, Wu Ang should be the most intelligent and courageous one, as Liu Jinsuo said, "he should have been assigned by the county captain".

But Fang Yankai refused to give in. It can be seen that Wu Ang is his confidant, and the twisted melon is not sweet. Moreover, there is no reason to hollow out the county's security defenses in order to prepare for the establishment of the River Patrol.

Then, if three hundred river cruisers are recruited, they can be roughly divided into three teams, and they will be led by Liu Jinsuo, Bao San, and Huohu respectively.

Bao San is an old soldier with many years of experience in the battlefield. He also knows water warfare and has prestige.Li Xia took a fancy to him, and put all his effort into installing prosthetic limbs for the wounded today, partly because he wanted to win him over.

Huohu is good at archery, familiar with the terrain, and also understands water skills, and he was born as a team leader, so he can also convince the crowd.

On the contrary, Liu Jinsuo has become the weak point among the three. He can't fight in water, he can't ride horses fast, he can't do archery, he is not a wise general, and his connections and prestige are not enough.

After all, he is a confidant, out of various considerations, he still has to lead the team first...

Withdrawing this idea of ​​loving the new and never tire of the old, Li Xia looked at Luhu, and recruited him by opening his mouth.

The matter is simple, Fang Yankai didn't send anyone to call Luhu, which means that Luhu is not his confidant.

Li Xia, a county lieutenant, wants to mobilize a squad leader because of his authority, even though Hu Hu may not be completely convinced in his heart.

He murmured, and said slowly: "Next, I plan to recruit 50 Jiang Xunmen to be led by the three of you. You can first transfer [-] people from the county's minzhuang, archers, and yamen servants. The salary will also be increased. Today, Each of you chooses."

Bao San and Hu Hu were overjoyed, clasped their fists and agreed.

Liu Jinsuo was in a daze, and shouted: "But, I don't know people in this county well."

"Bao San, Huhu, you help Liu Jinsuo choose someone."

"Yes!"

"Isn't that all the great ones were picked away by them?!" Liu Jinsuo was quite unconvinced.

Li Xia said: "Then you should keep an eye on it and think of ways..."
