end song

Chapter 182
Jiang Yan was taken aback for a moment, his embarrassing expression froze even more.

In the officialdom of the Song Dynasty, I have never seen someone who speaks so freely.

Li Xia pulled a stool straight, sat down in front of Fang Yankai, and said, "How about paying some more money, landlord?"

"Li Xianwei, six thousand guan is a lot."

"Shi Zhizhou exempted Qingfu County's autumn tax this year."

Fang Yankai casually threw out an account book and said, "I see how much the autumn tax is, but it is six thousand guan? I have already used this year's river repair money, this winter's charcoal fire money for the county government, etc., to deal with all matters large and small. Leaving aside, all that can be dialed are dialed."

Li Xia said: "The battle is imminent. I heard that Zhang Dutong has led his army to the west, and he is now in Syria."

"That's right, [-] troops are in the Yangtze River, and they will go to the Jinsha River to deploy defenses immediately." Fang Yankai said: "I already regret supporting your plan to build the River Patroller."

"The homeowner doesn't have to regret it. This proves that my inference is correct."

"Zhang Dutong can defeat Wulianghetai, Qingfu County may not need a navy."

Li Xia said: "So what if Wu Liang joins forces with Taiwan to send partial divisions to rob? What if Zhang Du is defeated? What if..."

"The county has its own defenses, and the surrounding area has its own military support."

"Shi Zhizhou approved it." Li Xia said: "Shi Zhizhou also thinks that Qing Fu needs a navy."

Fang Yankai said: "I have enough support for you. Dozens to a hundred people are enough to patrol the river, and a monthly salary of one to two is enough, not like the extravagant Li Xianwei."

"You and I sit comfortably in the Yamen for more than ten years in a month. Soldiers work hard to guard the land, and receiving three money is squandering?"

Fang Yankai said: "I have not interfered with Li Xianwei's actions, but the county has no money."

"I'm afraid that the owner of the house heard that Zhang Du led the troops, and thought he could rest easy?"

Fang Yankai was silent for a moment, and said: "The temple in Qingfu County is small, I'm afraid it won't be able to accommodate the giant Buddha Li Xianwei."

"Master, the war is just around the corner, how long is it? One month? If the Qingfu City is destroyed, everything will be closed, and the landlord is holding money in his hands, what good is it?"

"Li Feiyu, this is not my Fang Yankai's money."

Li Xia said: "The Mongolian army is here, and everyone may die."

Fang Yankai suddenly asked, "I heard that river cruisers can eat one egg per meal."

"Yes."

"Why don't Captain Li also recruit me to be a river patroller?"

"Okay." Li Xia said: "If the owner of the house is really willing to be a river patrol officer, I would like to also be the owner and cashier."

The two looked at each other, neither giving way...

Jiang Quan felt breathless.

He hesitated, wondering if he should go to magistrate Jiang to rescue him.

With a "bang", Fang Yankai dropped a purse on the table.

"Take it, there is no more penny. If Li County Lieutenant is not enough, Ding Daquan can dismiss me as the director!"

Li Xia was not angry at all, and said: "How about this, take another twenty bows?"

Fang Yankai was slightly taken aback.

Looking back at the whole conversation, he also realized that Li Xia had always been calm.

On the contrary, when he mentioned the egg, he started to get angry, and finally lost his temper...

Unexpectedly, on the city, he lost to a young man.

He took two deep breaths and said, "Ming Guang, take Li Xianwei to lead the bow."

Li Xia stood up, walked a few steps, and suddenly remembered another matter, turned around and asked: "By the way, dare to ask the landlord, where is my job?"

Fang Yankai frowned and thought for a while, then asked Jiang Wei: "Li County Lieutenant's career field..."

"Yes, the county has rented out that large area to Yuanwai Zhang."

Fang Yankai was stunned, and said to Li Xia in a business-like manner: "Give me some more time for this matter."

"it is good."

Li Xia didn't bother with such a small personal matter, and asked, "Besides, why don't you collect the autumn grain outside the county? What if the Mongolian army arrives, and the enemy is invested."

Fang Yankai frowned, looking worried.

Jiang Quan said: "I'm not very familiar yet."

"Does the landlord register need help?"

"No need, County Lieutenant Li can go to work on his own."

"it is good……"

Li Xia left the contracting house, turned around and returned to the public house.

Han Chengxu was planning a plan, and Han Qi'an buried his head in the copybook.

Han Qiaoer supported her head and was drawing a map with a charcoal pen. When she looked up and saw Li Xia approaching, she happily stepped forward and asked, "Brother Li, aren't you going to the camp today?"

"It will pass in a while."

"Can you take me with you?"

"You and Mr. Han stay in the county office."

"Ok."

Han Chengxu raised his head and said, "I'm afraid Ah Lang didn't get the money?"

"No."

"Thinking about it, with Zhang Dutong's [-] troops across the Jinsha River, the owner of the house may feel at ease."

"It's true that the county has no money left." Li Xia said, "I took twenty bows."

"Not bad."

"Mr. Yining, can you help me find out, are there bandits and bandits nearby?"

Han Qi'an said: "If you have it, you have it. But if Alang thinks that bandits and bandits can make money, I'm afraid..."

Han Chengxu shook his head, and said, "Who will become a bandit if he has money? Stopping the road and robbing some small merchants. After a meal, there is no end to it. A Lang leads people to suppress it. It must be a thankless effort."

"Crossing mountains and ridges, I'm afraid it's good to get a broken bed and quilt." Han Qi'an said, "If it's for law and order, people's livelihood is stable, and the war goes smoothly, it is fundamental that fewer people become bandits or deserters. In times of turmoil , Suppression is also endless."

Li Xia was a little disappointed.

He originally thought that there were gold cellars and silver cellars hidden in the bandits' dens, but after thinking about it carefully, how many people who can fall into the grass will be able to manage money with the generosity of the Song Dynasty to scholars?

With the power of a county to support three hundred soldiers, it is still stretched. If the bandits still have money left to wait for themselves to rob, it is really...

"Ah Lang don't need to think too much, there is still money in the account, as long as it is less... A novel idea, after a month's harvest of autumn grain, you should be able to squeeze some money from the landlord's book. If this battle is won, the court will It should also be rewarded."

Han Qi'an shook his head and said, "After this battle, the county must abolish the three hundred river patrols."

Han Chengxu turned his head to look at the several public houses to the east, and said in a low voice, "When you see it, whoever decides in the county..."

"Let's talk about it at that time. I may not be here for the next few days. If there is anything in the county, please ask Mr. Han."

Li Xia said, and sent someone to get the bow, and went to the camp on the east bank of the Fujiang River...

~~
"Whoosh!" An arrow shot out, hitting the bull's-eye.

Luhu put down his bow, turned his head, and shouted: "Did you see clearly?!"

"See it clearly!"

"A team of ten, take arrows!"

Standing in the line, Xu Kui straightened his body and kept his eyes fixed. He saw Liao Liao who was hit by the group of people in front of him, let alone the one who hit the bull's-eye.

When it was Xu Kui's turn, he and the soldiers in the same row stepped forward, took the bow, and set the arrow.

Luhu stepped forward, looked at them one by one, and adjusted their postures.

"Feet, shoulder width apart."

Hu Hu's accent was weird, Xu Kui was stunned for a moment before he realized what it meant, and quickly adjusted it.

"put!"

With a shout, the arrow shot out with a "swish".

Among the ten people, three hit the target, and Xu Kui was one of them. He turned his head and glanced, and saw Kong Muxi licking a brush not far away, and wrote down the result.

Xu Kui's ten people lined up again at the back of the line. He really wanted to turn his head to see why County Lieutenant Li hadn't come today, but he didn't dare to turn his head.

The military discipline in this Jiang patrol barracks is extremely strict, and the rules are extremely meticulous.Severe punishment at every turn. Today, someone was kicked out because of laziness.

Speaking of which, the daily training is boring and tiring, but Xu Kui is absolutely unwilling to be kicked out, not to mention the generous salary, the daily food is enough for him.

He hid two eggs on the first day, looking forward to returning home, but later he found out that the river patrolman was stationed in the camp, and he couldn't get out in a short time.

Because of the hiding of eggs, he was kicked twice by Bantou Liu, who scolded him for being worthless.

When the county lieutenant came, he said that Captain Liu should not beat and scold the soldiers, and fined them both to run around Dikouyan ten laps together.

Xu Kui thought to himself, the two kicks are actually not very painful, but running ten laps is very tiring.

Thinking about it again, I was really wronged after being kicked twice and running ten laps.

But the relationship between him and Bantou Liu became more and more cordial, and his family also arranged for them to be handymen. In short, he cooked for the battalion, and occasionally he could see him from a distance when he practiced by the river.

All in all, Xu Kui would not dare to violate military discipline anyway.

Every day, that is, training from morning to night, I lined up and walked, and then learned spears from Bantou Liu, boat maneuvering from Bantou Bao, and archery from Bantou Luu.

Usually, Li Xianwei will practice with the army.

Xu Kui cared about him very much, and couldn't help but look at him. He was shocked by how hard-working a person is. Today, he didn't come, so Xu Kui felt that something was missing.

When it was almost evening that day, County Lieutenant Li finally came. Xu Kui took advantage of the break to look around, and saw Li Xianwei recruited three squad leaders and thirty chiefs to say something.

But they don't talk about anything.

Afterwards, County Lieutenant Li personally led the team again, leading [-] river cruisers to run, but today he said that he was going to Xianrenyan in the upper reaches of Fujiang River.

Everyone was a little dazed.

It takes thirty miles to run there, and another thirty miles to run back?

Someone almost subconsciously exclaimed, "So far! How did you run..." Halfway through the sentence, he closed his mouth and stood upright, for fear of being punished.

Xu Kui is a little happy, he likes to run...

"Go to Immortal Rock to roll the roll! Kongmuxi, take someone to guard the camp!"

Xu Kui looked over and saw Li Xianwei turned around first and ran away, followed by three squad leaders, and he and the team quickly followed.

This road is full of river valleys, and the mountain road is not easy to walk. Gradually, people are running and slowing down.

Xu Kui surpassed them one by one.

That is, at this time, he doesn't have to stand in that neat line, stand still, and overtake anyone he wants to overtake.

Halfway through the run, when he passed Guxiang Township, Bantou Liu slowed down.

Xu Kui remained silent, passed Bantou Liu, and stared at Bantou Bao and Bantou Hu in front of him.

After a while, Bantou Bao also slowed down.

In front of Xu Kui are only the head of the team and Li Xianwei...
