Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 230
Coming out of the lobby of the governor's office, most of the people who were watching the excitement outside dispersed.

Seeing that it was Xiangwu, it was time for lunch, Huang Laifu's stomach growled a little.Originally, Governor Yang had already prepared food and drinks in the backyard of the governor's yamen, and was going to entertain Huang Laifu and others for lunch. Seeing Huang Laifu's appearance, he was so angry that he saved the lunch.

Now that Huang Laifu has come to Ningwuguan, he naturally wants to live in the mansion of the original general soldier.As soon as he came out of the governor's office, Liu Quanli, the former commander-in-chief Liu Ming'an's relative, squeezed forward with a smile on his face, nodding and bowing his head: "The military gate is tired, the last general has already ordered people to tidy up the commander-in-chief's mansion. There are all cooks, guests and maids. After entering the mansion, you can rest right away!"

Huang Laifu asked suspiciously, "Who is this?"

Liu Quanli smiled and said: "I have an inquiry from the military. The last general Liu Quanli is a general of the Ning military general. He used to work under the former commander-in-chief Liu Mingan. This...hehe..."

Liu Quanli was full of fat, and his body was big. With Huang Laifu's body, he was considered tall in the Ming Dynasty, but he was even taller than Huang Laifu.But at this time, he was bent over, with a smile on his face, and looked shorter than Huang Laifu.At this time, he was full of flattery, wishing that there was a tail wagging behind him.

"So it's General Liu Shen!"

Huang Laifu looked at this tall fat man's greasy face, and immediately understood his intentions, but he really needed a local capable person in Ningwu Pass as a lackey to open up the situation there. A pacesetter and a general who understands the local situation is an appropriate candidate.

At that moment, he said gently: "You are also careful, I am very optimistic about you!"

Liu Quanli's eyes turned red, and he choked with sobs and said, "The general thanked the military gate for their appreciation. It is the honor of the general to be able to serve the military gate. The general only hopes to be able to ride on the back of the horse and follow behind the military gate, so as to repay the honor of the military gate. Yep!"

Liu Quanli's blatant words, not to mention Gu Dadao's vomiting, even the generals behind Huang Laifu, everyone showed contempt.Even Huang Laifu and his brothers-in-law also heard their teeth ache and coughed uncontrollably.Only Yang Xiaolu secretly admired him and kept his words in his heart, hoping that he could use them in the future.

Huang Laifu's expression remained unchanged, and he smiled and said: "Seeing that you are capable, from now on, you can follow my army's side to do business!"

Liu Quanli was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down on one knee, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Huang Laifu, which made the armor leaves all over his body rattle. He shouted loudly: "Thank you for your cultivation. No excuses!"

All the soldiers present collectively despised Liu Quanli!However, while many generals despised him, they secretly envied him. This Liu Quanli was lucky enough to find a job in no time.Who is this Huang Laifu? He is known as the God of Wealth. He has always been rich and powerful, and treats his subordinates generously. Liu Quanli's efforts are just shameless, but what he gets is a job. It's worth it.

Huang Laifu smiled at Eunuch Ma Jiuying: "Eunuch Ma, it's almost noon, why don't you go to the house for a light meal?"

Father-in-law Ma Jiuying secretly admired Huang Laifu for finding a local loyal dog at once, which would make things easier in the future.He had just arrived at Ningwuguan, and it was impossible for him to take care of his military supervisor's mansion, so he might as well go to Huang Laifu's to have a meal.

At that moment he smiled and said: "Hey hey hey hey hey, Huang Junmen's kindness, how can our family refuse!"

Huang Laifu said to the generals behind him: "How about all the generals come to the house and have a light meal together?"

Everyone said in unison: "How dare you refuse the kindness of the army!"

The mansion of the former general soldier Liu Ming'an was not far from the governor's office, and it didn't take much time to ride there.At this time, the mansion was naturally owned by Huang Laifu. When Huang Laifu's guard of honor arrived in front of the mansion of the general soldier, along the way, he did not know how many local people who watched the excitement followed.The capable and powerful appearance of Wuzhaibao army horses amazed many local people.

On both sides of the gate of the mansion, there are already pacesetters from the former pacesetter battalion standing in a row. This is what Liu Quanli ordered. After hearing about Huang Laifu's arrival, he made a series of preparations. within his consideration.Liu Quanli had already spent a lot of money on maintaining the General Soldier's mansion during these times, and he hoped to get it back in the future.

When they saw Huang Laifu and others coming over, the pacesetters on guard were all in full swing, and joked that whether they could get their jobs would depend on how the current military leader Huang Laifu thought of them.

But no matter how their chests and bellies were raised, when the servants of Wuzhaibao arrived, they immediately became much shorter. No matter what aspect they compared, they were far behind.However, Huang Laifu did not replace their guard missions for the time being. He had just arrived at Ningwu Pass, so he had to plan slowly for how things were going to go.

When everyone came to the gate, Liu Quanli had already shouted, "Junmen is back home!"

Immediately, the drums and music rang together, and a large number of servants and maids greeted each other on both sides. Everyone said: "Welcome to the military gate and return to the mansion!" Surprised.

Huang Laifu was secretly satisfied that Liu Quanli was a good housekeeper.Liu Quanli took a sneak peek at Huang Laifu, feeling complacent. He had prepared for this moment for a long time.

Huang Laifu smiled at Eunuch Ma Jiuying, "Eunuch Ma, please come inside!"

Eunuch Ma Jiuying also said: "Huang Junmen, please!"

At present, all the generals will follow and file in.

Entering the hall of the mansion, it really is the residence carefully concocted by the former chief soldier, and the environment is good.Siheyuan pattern, with several entrances and exits, and a garden in the backyard.But presumably the former owner was a person who only knew how to wield knives and guns, but he didn't have a study room. Huang Laifu planned to build one himself.

Liu Quanli ordered the cooks to prepare lunch for Huang Laifu and others. The cooks knew that Mr. Huang would be their new master in the future, so they naturally put all their energy into cooking.

Under the leadership of Liu Quanli, Huang Laifu visited various parts of the General Military Mansion, and this place will be his new home from now on.Overall he was satisfied, but there was only one mistress missing.It's just that Gu Yunniang has to stay in Wuzhaibao as the backbone for a long time, and can only come and live there when she has time. Among the few concubines, let them take turns to come and accompany them.

Soon the sumptuous lunch was ready, and now Huang Laifu had a drink with the generals in the lobby and talked freely about military affairs.Many of the generals saw Huang Laifu for the first time. Huang Laifu was so domineering in the lobby of the governor's office, and everyone felt a little worried.But seeing that Huang Laifu was approachable at this time, everyone became more courageous, and everyone toasted to Huang Laifu one after another. The admiration for Huang Laifu in their words was like a surging river, endless.

Huang Laifu only chatted with them about their respective military forts, learned about some local conditions, and laid the foundation for possible future cooperation.

In the Ming Dynasty, the general army could theoretically control the guards of the capital, and in the military, he had the power to control the cloth and the second division, and he could supervise money and food.But in fact, the guarding system of eunuchs in each town has already restricted part of the power of the general army.After the establishment of governors in each town, the powers of the chief military officer to manage food and pay, supervise officials, and hear lawsuits were divided.

Now the commander-in-chief of each town actually doesn't have much power. Except for the military defense and combat matters of the military town, they are not in charge of planning, weapons, food and other things.According to the situation of the size of the Ming army, as long as a general is a general, a guerrilla, and independently guards a fortress, when the food and military equipment are all managed by various soldiers, Huang Laifu will also manage less than them.Although he is the commander in chief of the whole town, he can only restrain the officers from all over the place when he is in war, otherwise he will have his own affairs in normal times.Therefore, Huang Laifu is also playing tricks on these people.

After lunch, the officers dispersed and went back to the station to rest.After tomorrow, these people will report to the new chief soldier Huang Laifu and the governor, and then they can return to their own military forts.

"Laifu, have you gone through a bit with the governor today..."

After Eunuch Ma Jiuying returned to the Supervisory Mansion and all the generals withdrew, the eldest brother-in-law Xu Xueshi said to Huang Laifu with some concern.After hearing what the eldest brother-in-law said, the second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law all nodded in unison.

Huang Laifu said with a smile: "Don't worry, brothers-in-law, people like Yang Fanglue can deal with other people, but they have nothing to do with me. You don't have to worry. I gave them a big blow today to let them understand that I, Huang Laifu is no better than others, you better respect him!"

Huang Laifu understands the worries of the brothers-in-law. In their hearts, the fear of civil servants is deeply rooted.In the current Ming Dynasty, the reason why the civil servants are noble and the military inferior is that the civil servants control the food and payment channels.Their methods of dealing with generals are nothing more than cutting off food and salaries, cutting off weapons and so on.

But it's a new trick, and it's eaten all over the world. This trick has been tried and tested by generals from all towns and places.It is said that holding other people's hands is short, eating other people's softness, and holding the lifeblood in other people's hands. No wonder the generals of Ming Dynasty can't be tough even if they want to.But I am no better than ordinary generals, these methods are useless to me, so Huang Laifu will not have the slightest fear.

After hearing Huang Laifu's words, Xu Xueshi, the eldest brother-in-law, knew that Huang Laifu didn't take it seriously, so he could only sigh and stop talking.

In the afternoon, Huang Laifu was resting in the mansion, and people from Ningwuguan kept coming to visit the door and handing red envelopes to the guard.But Huang Laifu wanted to rest, so he only asked his family to accept the post, and when he would see them, he would talk about it when he was free.

Near evening, the Drum Tower in Ningwuguan City was already brightly lit, noisy and lively, full of guests coming and going.Drum Tower is located in Ningwu City, which is said to be the heart of Phoenix City.The appearance of the building is three floors, three eaves, nine backs and double eaves, with a height of more than [-] meters and a magnificent momentum.Looking down from upstairs, it has the taste of drinking wine.

At this time, at the lower entrance of the building, Ma Lai was reported from time to time, saying that XX had arrived, and then the drums on both sides sounded together.When it was getting dark, the officials and military generals who were going to the banquet entered the Drum Tower like a file.

Different from noon, today, whether they are civil servants or generals, all of them are dressed in official uniforms.Each wears a black gauze cap and a large gown with a round collar and narrow sleeves, but to distinguish civil and military men, in the patch on the chest and back of each man's robe, civil officials use birds, and military generals use animals.This is the origin of the beast in clothes and hats. At that time, it was not a derogatory term.
