I can summon master Qin Shi

Chapter 98 The world is as black as crows (two in one)

As a border city, it is naturally not comparable to the inland city in terms of prosperity, but fortunately there is no large-scale war, so the city is not sparsely populated, which is the size of a small county in an inland city, with only ten thousand households. Get ahead.

The scale of the city is not comparable to that of the inland area, but the defense of the city is no worse than that of the inland counties. The city is ten meters high, two miles wide, and 20 meters thick. It is made of rammed earth mixed with bluestone. The moat is eight meters deep and six meters wide. Military installations such as watchtowers and arrow towers.

At the gate of the city, Yishi soldiers wearing blue leather armor and holding spears strictly inspected the goods and personnel coming and going.

The south of Yufu City is adjacent to the river, and the fishery industry is relatively developed. Because it is located in a mountainous and hilly area, agriculture is not developed, and commerce is not so good. The merchants who come and go are basically supplying military supplies. Water transportation is the lifeline of Yufu County, and many materials have to pass through Supplement by water.

Since he came here on a hurry, he naturally didn't have any carriages, sedan chairs, etc. The long-distance journey was more or less dusty, but his demeanor was still there, and he was not an ordinary person at first glance, which attracted people's attention.

The chief on duty walked over with two subordinates, there was no way, Zhao Feiyang's side was really more attractive, especially the veiled startled salamander and Da Siming, it was hard not to attract people.

"Military important place, take off the mask!"

Shi Chang, who had a long knife on his waist, was expressionless, and he clenched the scabbard with his left hand. The pistols in the hands of the other two soldiers also stood upright, aiming at Zhao Feiyang and his party.

Zhao Feiyang took out a piece from his bosom and threw it out, Shi Chang subconsciously took it and saw that it was heavy and cold, and fixed his eyes on a column, it was a long token.

The whole body of the token is brass, with a lifelike eagle engraved on the front and five characters on the back, two big and three small, the big two characters are "Hundred Households", and the small three characters are "Zhao Feiyang".

The people in charge of guarding the city gate basically have good eyesight, and know who can be messed with and who can't be messed with. For the soldiers, the Shenying Guard is the least messy official, and their power is much greater than that of regular officials.

As for the disciples of the Zongmen family, although they still cannot be provoked, there is no need to be afraid. It is enough to be neither humble nor overbearing. It is hard to say what happens in private. In broad daylight, the disciples of the Zongmen family absolutely dare not do anything to them, otherwise it will be like rebellion!

In the Shenying Guard system, official uniforms are the most direct way to distinguish grades. In addition to official uniforms, waist badges are also one of the ways to distinguish.

The strongman is a wooden plaque, and the small flag is also a wooden plaque, but the material is better. The general flag is an iron plaque, a hundred households is a bronze medal, a thousand households is a silver medal, the township envoy is a gold medal, and the command envoy is a jade plaque.

No matter what kind of material the brand is made of, the position and name are engraved on the back of the brand, which is engraved in a special way in Shenying Guard, which is extremely difficult to imitate.

"See Mr. Zhao!"

The chief quickly knelt down on one knee, lowered his head, and respectfully raised the brass token in his hands with both hands. Seeing that his chief was kneeling, the other two soldiers quickly put away their spears and knelt down on one knee.

Zhao Feiyang reached out to retrieve the token, and said with a faint smile, "Get up."

The three got up quickly and stood respectfully where they were, while the other soldiers who were entering the city and maintaining order looked over.

"Good job, keep up the good work!"

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord, please!"

The chief was a little excited, and quickly stretched out his hand to invite.

No wonder they were very excited, a word from a big shot can sometimes change their fate.

Is Zhao Feiyang considered a big shot?

Counting, at least in Yufu County and the Jiangguan defense line, these places are all under the jurisdiction of Zhao Feiyang, and many officials and generals are under the supervision and jurisdiction of Zhao Feiyang, the hundred households of the Shenying Guard.

Compared with the magistrate, magistrate, and county lieutenant in Yufu County, they all had to perform the ceremony of dismissing officials in front of Zhao Feiyang. Zhao Feiyang's hundred households were against the hundred households in the county city, which was at the same level as the county magistrate.

Although the status of Shenyingwei Baihu at the border is a little lower than that of the county and city, their official rank remains unchanged. Naturally, they are the superiors of all the officials in Yufu County.

When there is no war, the city defense of Yufu County is under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant. Zhao Feiyang, the superior officer, praised the city guard for his superiority. If the county lieutenant knows how to behave, then he will be important in the future, otherwise he will lose face. .

You must know that although Zhao Feiyang, the Shenyingwei Baihu, can't reward the officials of the county government, and can't interfere in the affairs of the county government under normal circumstances, it is very easy to find fault.

Unless the officials of the county government have no loopholes, once they are spotted by the Shenying Guard, they can find the loopholes and get the evidence, and they can be arrested directly without going through the county.

How many officials in the world can have no flaws?
Corrupt officials in the officialdom are like the sands of the Yellow River, and honest officials are rare. Even if you are really an honest official, if you are offended by the Shenying Guards and you are really punished, you may not be able to escape.

For those who are in the officialdom, planting and framing is really a common method. Even if you are an honest official without a big backer, once you enter the Shenying Guard Prison, it will be like yellow mud falling into your crotch.

So the Shenying Guard is hated by many officials, but they really dare not offend casually, they are very afraid!
Zhao Feiyang and his group entered the city through the main entrance in the middle, and Shi Chang led people into the city, respectfully, which made many people envious. This is the charm of power, something that countless people pursue.

After Zhao Feiyang left, Shi Zhang was very sensible and immediately sent someone to report to the county government. The soldiers who reported the report ran all the way at full speed.

In the important border areas, under normal circumstances, horses are not allowed for non-military affairs.

Those who can ride horses are the powerful officers of the Shenying Guard and the border. Everyone in the Shenying Guard can ride a horse, but the three giants of the county government are not qualified and can only ride in a carriage or a sedan chair.

This is the detached status of the Shenying Guard, and the Black Wolf Guard and Chifeng Guard of the other two countries are similar.

As a newcomer, Zhao Feiyang was not in a hurry to go to the Shenying Guard Hundred Households in the north of the city, but just walked around the city. Can't he know nothing about his territory?

The city of Yufu County is not big, so I finished shopping in less than half an hour. I made a big circle and arrived at the Baihu Office of the Shenying Guard at the gate of the city. It's been a few minutes.

However, no one dared to look impatient, and they all stood respectfully in the small square at the entrance of the Baihu Office, seeing Zhao Feiyang arriving, they immediately greeted him.

"The lower official Wu Yu and the officials from the county government paid a visit to Mr. Zhao!"

A man in his thirties, tall, with a resolute face, a small crown and hair, and a man in a green official robe walked up quickly, bowed his hands and bowed.

The other officials followed closely behind him, not daring to take half a step, and followed Wu Yu to salute.

Official rules are strict, even if you have a background, if you don't abide by the rules, others will not dare to say anything because of your background, but you will feel unhappy and hold grudges in your heart. If things go on like this, the road to officialdom will definitely be difficult.

Wu Yu?

This made Zhao Feiyang want to laugh, the name is quite funny, of course, on the surface, Zhao Feiyang returned the gift in a serious manner, without showing any emotion

It is impolite to laugh at other people's names face to face, and it will offend people. Although these are low-level officials, but as the saying goes, those who are upright get more help, and those who lose the way don't get much help. There is no need to offend people.

"My officer, Zhao Feiyang, has met Mr. Wu and all of you."

"You put down the county government affairs and came here to greet me. I am really flattered. You are polite, you are really polite."

Zhao Feiyang's words made Wu Yu and other officials deeply relieved, and their affection for Zhao Feiyang instantly increased.

This Zhao Baihu seems to be much easier to deal with than the previous Baihu. That Baihu's temper is really stinky and arrogant enough. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let him die in the hands of Chifengwei, otherwise they I don't know how long I will be in dire straits...

"Whatever Mr. Zhao said, this is what the officials should do. The county government welcomes Mr. Zhao's arrival."

"Tonight, the officials will hold a banquet at the county government office to clean up Mr. Zhao, and please honor Mr. Zhao."

"The reason why the banquet was held in the county government office is mainly because there are no high-end restaurants in the Guan area, and I hope Mr. Zhao will not dislike it." Wu Yu explained very seriously.

"how come?"

"It must be there, it must be there."

If others are so sincere, it is impossible for Zhao Feiyang to refuse. Moreover, in the future, the Shenying Guard's operation will require the cooperation of the county government in many things, and it is necessary to establish a good relationship.

The efficiency of passive coping and serious coping is very different!

After finishing speaking, Wu Yu led the people away with great sense of humor.

Zhao Feiyang was very satisfied that he didn't waste too much time, he likes interesting people.

……

When the officials left, the Shenying Guard who had been waiting for a long time was brought by a middle-aged man with a dark complexion, an ordinary face, and a short stature. He bowed down and clasped his fists respectfully to salute.

"Participate in Master Hundred Households!"

Zhao Feiyang's face was a bit ugly, not because he was dissatisfied with these Condor Guards, but because there were so few f*cking people.

A hundred households consisted of two general banners, and there were more than 100 people. There were no more than 100 of these people. He glanced at it and estimated that there were only about [-] people, seventy or eighty missing.

What kind of plane are you doing?

"Get up."

"what's your name?"

"Why are there so few people?"

"What about the rest?"

Zhao Feiyang said with a gloomy face.

"The lower official is called Tan Gang."

"My lord, it's not that the subordinates are disrespectful."

"Now there are only so many Shenying Guards formally established by all the hundred households, and all the people have arrived."

"The others have already died with Lu Baihu in the fight with Chifengwei, and Qianhu has not made up for the missing people..." Tan Gang said with a wry smile.

He is also very uncomfortable. As the general banner, there are more than 50 people under his command. Now more than half of the vacancies are lacking, and his power has been greatly reduced.

Zhao Feiyang's face became even more ugly, no wonder when he went to the Qianhu Office to talk to Deputy Wen Qianhu, the other party agreed so happily, but in the end more than half of the people were missing, and it was almost necessary to rebuild the entire Baihu Office.

"How much silver is left in the public treasury?"

"Less than 5000 taels."

"To be more specific, one tael of silver is less than 5000 taels!" Zhao Feiyang frowned and shouted coldly.

How could there be such a big difference, Tan Gang slandered in his heart, but lowered his head and said honestly: "There are still three thousand five hundred and seventy five taels of silver left."

Zhao Feiyang laughed angrily, this TM is less than 5000 taels?

This is less than 580 taels, and exaggeratedly it can be said to be less than 4000 taels.

You're old, but now is not the time to worry about it. The most urgent task now is to rebuild the entire Hundred Households Office.

In the Shenyingwei system, the hundred-household office, the thousand-household office, and the relationship with the headquarters can barely be regarded as self-financing.

The reason why it is said to be reluctant is because the Hundred Households Office has to hand over [-]% of its income to the Thousand Households Office, and the Thousand Households Office has to hand over [-]% of its income to the headquarters, and the remaining half is kept for itself.

In half of the cases, there is no appropriation, so it is not completely self-financed.

In addition, the superiors still have personnel rights. The official Shenying Guards are filled by the superiors, and the lowest-level hundred households generally do not have the right to actively recruit.

The situation of the Hundred Households Office in Yufu County clearly needs to be rebuilt with Zhao Feiyang's own money.

If Zhao Feiyang guessed correctly, even though it was his money, the superior would still allocate the funds.

Under normal circumstances, no funds will be allocated, but the institutional system is disabled, and the subordinates normally allocate funds.

Spending his money and still appropriating funds, this appropriation must be in a state of flux, and it will never be implemented. In the end, it must fall into the hands of the senior management of the Thousand Households Office.

Sima Qianhu must get the biggest share, Deputy Wen Qianhu is a little bit behind, and other deputy Qianhu also have shares. The big ones are taken by these high-level officials, and other handlers must also have a share.

Damn, these people are really shrewd, it seems that the Condor Guard is not clean, they even came here...

Although it is very unpleasant to be cheated of money, it is not without benefits from another perspective. Even compared to the benefits, the money lost is very secondary.

If the higher-ups did this, it would be acquiesced that the personnel authority will be delegated once, and he has the final say on the recruitment of the Shenying Guards of the Baihusuo. Otherwise, how can it be possible to let the horses run without feeding the horses?

If he doesn't cooperate to sign the appropriation documents, the money may not be easy to swallow...

Zhao Feiyang carefully recalled the conversation with Deputy Wen Qianhu, and at this moment, he could realize the profound meaning of some words at that time. No wonder some of his words at that time felt cloudy and foggy.

It turned out to be waiting for me here...

Well, since that's the case, then cooperate, isn't it just money, it's not important at all compared to inserting the snare killer into the Condor Guard, this is an excellent opportunity!
Although the recruitment of the Shenying Guard is not as strict as when it was first established, it needs to be kept absolutely pure. At that time, it was impossible for the noble disciples of the Zongmen aristocratic family to be selected, and those with a little identity problem would be eliminated.

If the snare killers under his command follow the regular route, that is, only a small part of them have registered household registration in Guanxian County. Only a small part of them may be selected. Those without household registration will definitely not be selected.

Well now, if he leads, then such a person can be selected.

It is not impossible to fill the rest of the quota with snare killers, but the temperament of these snare killers is too close, and it is too obvious to recruit so many at one time, and it is easy to be targeted.

Half of the recruits are at their limit, and most of the snare killers are led by the general banner of Zheri, and the remaining is supplemented by the diehards of another general banner.

A small number of snare killers mixed sand into another general banner, so that the entire Baihusuo could be in his hands as quickly as possible.

Open recruitment, let the snare killer mix into the recruitment team, so it is not so obvious.

Don't worry about not being able to recruit people. There are many Jianghu people who pursue money, power, and wealth.

Zhao Feiyang was thinking about the problem, and his expression kept changing, which made Tan Gang a little nervous, after all, what he said was indeed a little outrageous.

Although the problem is not serious and it is impossible to be severely punished, it is quite embarrassing to be scolded.

"The officer knows."

"I will solve the problem of money, and immediately send someone to send a letter to the Qianhu Office in Rongcheng through the channel of the Shenying Guard."

"The first letter requested funding from the Thousand Households Institute, and the second letter requested that Shenying Guard's independent personnel rights be supplemented this time."

After thinking it over, Zhao Feiyang said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.

"My lord, is it possible to have independent personnel rights?"

"Maybe everyone will eat and hang up after sending it up..." Tan Gang's complexion changed slightly, and he said reluctantly.

"uh-huh?"

Zhao Feiyang's eyes turned cold, and he snorted coldly.

Clang!
The figure of the startled salamander with the black veil moved, and came to Tan Gang's side as if teleporting. The sharp and strange sword of the startled salamander rested on the neck just after Tan Gang put the palm of the knife on his waist. The sharp and sharp edge stimulated Goosebumps appeared on Tan Gang's rough neck...

Cold sweat broke out on Tan Gang's forehead, and his face was full of horror. You must know that he is a martial arts master who has opened up extraordinary meridians and eight veins. He is enough to serve as a party to a hundred households. Location.

It is precisely because he is a master of martial arts that he was able to lead a group of people out when he was ambushed by Chifengwei last time, and now he has no resistance in front of the woman in front of him...

It seems that the news he heard is true, Xin Baihu really has a master of swordsman following him!
clang clang...

Seeing Tan Gang being restrained, Xiao Qi, the wrestlers subconsciously pulled out their weapons, and the sound of weapons unsheathing rang continuously.

"how?"

"Do you want to rebel?"

Zhao Feiyang's sharp eyes shot all around, Lishi and Xiaoqi didn't know what they had done. If they drew their swords against Shangguan, the consequences could be big or small. Time was tense and apprehensive, and he lowered his head in fear.

The snare killer behind Zhao Feiyang drew his sword on the hilt, exuding a strong murderous aura from his body, and the atmosphere at the entrance of Baihusuo suddenly became quite dignified.

Tan Gang's heart was cold and cold, things were getting worse and worse, and things couldn't get worse, otherwise there would be absolutely no good fruit to eat later.

"Sir, forgive me!"

"They definitely don't dare to rebel, and they don't dare to be disrespectful to adults."

"They acted impulsively because the subordinate officials once led them out of the siege, and they were grateful. It was definitely not intentional."

"The lower official shouldn't have questioned your lord's order just now, please punish him!"

Because the sword was on his neck, he was unable to salute, so Tan Gang could only look at Zhao Feiyang with a pleading face.

Well, although this person has some old-fashioned characteristics, he is not bad.

Zhao Feiyang waved his hand, the startling salamander withdrew the startling salamander sword, and the figure flashed back to its original position like a ghost.

"Nianer and others are the first offenders, so don't worry about it this time."

"And next time, new and old accounts will be settled together."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Feiyang strode towards the Baihu Office, Tan Gang heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly chased after him.
