Late Tang

Chapter 35

Li Jing gradually calmed down, Feng Liang was indeed a dude, but Li Jing did not forget that he was from the Feng family in Bohai, and his uncle was not only the governor of Dengzhou, but also the deputy envoy of the Dengzhou regiment.

Feng Liang seemed to be talking about a very simple matter, while patting Li Jing's shoulder, he recounted his plan while breathing out the smell of alcohol and chuckling.

"Isn't Dengzhou already aware of the bandit suppression? Feng Wulang's proposal seems unfeasible, right?" Li Jing asked him.

"Brother is still a little tender. This matter in the officialdom, after all, is actually not everyone knows what to do and helps each other. Besides, we just need to know about this matter, and it has nothing to do with other people." Said, Feng Liang took a drink break.

Li Jing endured the unpleasant smell of alcohol, and said: "With Feng Wulang's family background, if Uncle Ling makes a move, I'm afraid it would be easy to find an official position for you, right? But I don't know why Wulang still wants to It’s so complicated to look far away.”

"You don't know this. Going from civilian to official is actually the most difficult step. Once you have official status, it's easy to get promoted later. Although my uncle is a long history, after all, there are still some Mr. Governor, some things are too ugly to do. But if brother is willing to help me, it will be different. My brother asked your brother to give me two first-level merits. Cui Governor will know about this matter. I don’t really care about it that much. This is what you want to do. There are too many things in the army, and he, a governor, can’t control too much. If he really wants to control, he will provoke public anger.”

Li Jing felt nauseous for a while, turned her head and hiccupped softly. Li Jing's capacity for alcohol was not bad, but he drank too much and couldn't bear it after all.

"Brother, I won't ask for your military leaders for nothing. As a person, I always do things as you please, and I will please you. Brother, tell me, even if your brother keeps those two first-level military leaders, so what? No It’s nothing more than rewards and money and silk rewards. But now the imperial court doesn’t have any rewards. Even if there are some rewards, from the top down, the layers have to be divided, and how many people can get it. Brother, tell you something To be honest, I don't want those two heads for nothing, I'll offer fifty thousand each!" Feng Liang didn't know whether he was really drunk or fake, he shook his head, and offered Li Jing a price with gestures.

One head is exchanged for fifty thousand, which is not a small number.The reward offered by the big boss of Xihuo Village is nothing more than a hundred pieces of silk and twenty thousand in money, which is only one hundred thousand in total.And the rewards offered by those little minions are only ten pieces of silk and five pennies per person, and the rewards for the heads of the minions that are surrendered are only 26 each.There is a reward of 36 for the heads of the two minions. In addition, according to military merits, the two heads are also worth 64.Combining the reward and the military merit reward, the two heads are worth [-] coins, and Feng Liang exchanged it for [-] coins. Speaking of which, Xiao Shitou and the others didn't suffer a loss, and they even made a profit of [-] coins.

Seeing that Li Jing didn't answer, Feng Liang thought that Li Jing thought the money was too little, so he immediately said, "Of course, I'll give you two heads, but I don't want rewards and military rewards, and the combined 36 coins will still be given to you."

Li Jing sighed a little in his heart, Feng Liang was really willing to spend money, in order to buy two heads for meritorious service, he was willing to spend 130 six guan, this is a lot of money, it is equivalent to the property of a small rural landlord.

He smiled wryly and said: "Brother, I have no other intentions, but the matter before and after this has already been reported to the state government. Now even if the brothers are willing to give up this head to Wulang, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the higher-ups. In case the higher-ups If it is pursued, I am only worried that not only my brothers will be punished, but Brother Feng will also be implicated."

"Don't worry about this." Feng Liang waved his hand, "The official document of the report is still in the state, and has not been submitted to the Jiedu Mansion and the imperial court. As long as my brother and your brothers agree to this matter, then there is nothing else. In fact, this This deal is very cost-effective, 130 six guan, for two heads, this deal is absolutely worth it. If it weren't for my brother, I was in a hurry to get an official, and you really wouldn't be able to touch such a good thing."

At this time, Li Jing thought of a sentence from later generations, life is sometimes like rape, if you can't resist, then close your eyes and enjoy it.

Facing Feng Liang's request, he could actually use Cui Jieshi as a shield.But thinking about it carefully, even if I feel a little bit upset, it's not like what Feng Liang said, this is actually a very good deal.Xiao Shitou and the others all came from a farming family in Wangli Village just like himself. Even if they don't give up their military achievements, even if they don't deduct a penny in the end, the most they can get is a reward of eighteen per person.No matter how much, you can receive a few awards, promote a corporal leader and so on, but if you want to go up, don't even think about it if there is no one above.

Now that he gave up the first level of military merit, he could immediately get 68 guan rewards alone, and from a certain point of view, helping Feng Liang with this favor was also a way of showing goodwill to the Feng family.Now Li Jing has become Cui Yunqing's disciple, but Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing are at odds, gods and gods fight, it is inevitable that he, a mortal, will suffer.But if he helped Feng Liang with this favor, maybe the Feng family might not deliberately embarrass him as a pawn in the future.

Li Jing also thought about giving up two of his military heads to Feng Liang, but these few heads are also related to Li Jing's future.Li Jing didn't want to miss this opportunity, but Xiao Shitou and the others were different.Li Jing has a teacher like Cui Yunqing, so he will definitely have a good future in the future, but Xiao Shitou and the others need him to take care of them.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Jing gradually planned to agree to this matter.

"Brother Feng, are you really willing to use this money to compensate them? If that's the case, I can make it clear to my brothers and let them give you the general merit."

After Feng Liang heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face: "Brother, I did not misunderstand my brother. Don't worry, I, Feng Liang, am not the kind of villain who keeps his word. In this way, I will give you 140 for the two heads. .In addition, if they are willing to give me the third first-level military merit, brother, I am willing to give another 140 thousand."

Three first-level military merits were exchanged for 280 pennies. Li Jing was so moved that he almost wanted to sell all his first-level military merits for money.

"Okay, Brother Feng is so proud, I will agree on behalf of my brothers. But it's okay, we just give you the first-level military merits, as for how Brother Feng handles other things, we don't care about it, and we don't care about it." I can't control it anymore."

Feng Liang patted his chest and said: "Three heads are second-class military achievements, and you can almost directly get one from the ninth rank to the official rank. You can rest assured, everything else is not a problem."

Then he patted Li Jing on the shoulder and said: "Of course, my brother will not forget the favor of my brother. In this way, my brother has raised a few good horses. Tomorrow, my brother will send you one." Then, he He took out a piece of paper from his arms, "This is my flying money from Fengjiaxuan and Ruiguifang. The ticket is worth 280 guan. As long as you hold this ring again, no matter if it is the two capitals or all the cities in the world, you will be able to buy it." You can get [-] guan worth of money or silk, rice, millet, etc. in my Fengjiaxuanherui's counter. [-] guan is used to thank your brother for giving me the military leader, and the rest is for Thank you brother."

Li Jing couldn't help but be overwhelmed by Feng Liang's rain of money. Five hundred coins, plus a good war horse, are worth at least 60 yuan.Damn, in order to be promoted to an official, he actually took out about 60 yuan back and forth, how much money does this f*ck have to have.At this time, the last bit of unhappiness in his heart was completely calmed down by such a large amount of money.

This deal is done!

Li Jing unceremoniously pocketed the flying money and the ring as a keepsake, the money has already been obtained, he is not worried that Feng Liang will renege on his promise after taking the first rank of military merit.

"Let's go, let's drink two more glasses, we won't return today if we don't get drunk." Feng Liang smiled like a chrysanthemum when he saw that the matter was settled, "We will be our own family from now on, with Cui Shijun as the teacher and me As friends with the Feng family, there will be no bright future for your brother in the future!"

"Thank you!" Li Jing took all the money at this time, so he could only sing along with Feng Liang. Although he knew that Cui Yunqing and Feng Yanqing were at odds, what could he do as a pawn?
