Please calm down your anger

Chapter 7

"Hey hey, brother Guo..."

Zhang Heng was the thickest-skinned, he was fierce just now, but now he came to the side with a flattering face, "If you have any connections, tell me."

Unexpectedly, the old man picked it up.

"Oh, the old man was injured and lay down for a whole day, drinking hot water..."

"Here I pour it for you!"

Liu Shun hurriedly brought hot tea.

"It's so cold in this yard..."

"I'll come, I'll come."

Zhang Heng rushed to spread the blanket for the old man.

Guo Luquan sipped hot tea contentedly, glanced at the demon tiger whip hanging on the shelf with cloudy eyes, "And that one."

Zhang Heng was not happy now: "Why do you want that thing, you are still lustful at such an old age?"

Guo Luquan sneered and said: "I practice Yinmen technique, I need this thing most to balance the spirit of ghosts, and I know seventeen kinds of prescriptions."

"Besides, you don't need to inquire about it, any kiln in Fucheng doesn't know my reputation as Lu Lao."

"Hey, my mother..."

Zhang Heng was about to argue, but was stopped by Wang Xuan waving his hand.

Wang Xuan looked at Guo Luquan calmly: "If it makes sense, this thing will belong to you."

Excluding Chen Qiong's famous disciples, Yaosi Jing has a lot of all kinds of quack warlocks, and people from Yinmen are all over the north and south of the river, so they obviously know a lot of ghosts.

It's just a demon tiger's whip, and it's more important to solve the plight of the military government.

"Master Wang is open!"

The old man Guo Luquan chuckled: "If you want me to say that you are guarding Baoshan without knowing it, I have traveled all over the world and seen many military mansions making money. It is nothing more than three strategies."

Liu Shun's eyes lit up, "There are three other strategies?"

"Is this the strategy..." Guo Luquan said with a smile that was not a smile: "There are no more than two kinds. One is to deduct food and pay, or falsely report the number of people, and put all the money allocated by the court into his own pocket."

"The second is to raise a group of bandits, collect road merchant tax on weekdays, pretend to suppress bandits when there is nothing to do, let them go if they can't be provoked, and make a mess of them if they are provoked, anyway, the big guys know it well."

Liu Shun suddenly realized, "Oh, let me just say, the last time I went to Fucheng to deliver posts, that poor guy with Li Scarface suddenly got rich, so it turned out that he did this kind of shady business!"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said: "This is not acceptable, my lord will never deduct military pay, let alone raise bandits to their own dignity."

Guo Luquan glanced at Wang Xuan with a serious expression, and said with a smile: "No wonder our Master Chen said that Captain Wang is a modest gentleman, and wants to invite you to join the Jing Yao Division."

"As for the middle strategy, it is very simple. It is to use the name of the military government to do business, send people to escort merchants, and use soldiers to build bridges and dig roads. The most profitable thing is to participate in the mining of mines. After all, the wild is dangerous and needs to be guarded. The county military mansion has expanded to a thousand people, and the little money from the court is not even enough for tea..."

"Expand to a thousand people?"

Wang Xuan frowned, keenly noticing something was wrong, "In this way, wouldn't the military mansion become a private armed forces, wouldn't the imperial court be afraid of causing disaster?"

"Woe?"

The old man Guo laughed, "My lord, the imperial court is never afraid of these things."

"There are Yulin, Longwu, and Xiaowei cavalry in the center, all of whom are commanded by the children of the royal family. There are many masters, and there are many elite soldiers. Each is equipped with evil weapons and beasts. Once they form an formation to attack, it is a folk sect with a century old, and it can't stand a single one. round, not to mention the ferocious frontier army."

"Besides, if the military government rebelled, the imperial court didn't need to call up an army at all. It only needed a Taiyi teacher with high skills to go down the mountain and sacrifice the altar of the five thunders, and he could be crushed to death easily!"

"The adults in the court are well aware of these things. They only need to maintain the stability and tranquility of the place. They usually turn a blind eye to it. This is also the reason why the military government's salary has been reduced year after year."

I see…

Wang Xuan suddenly realized that personal force in this world is too powerful, and how capable the local military government is, the imperial court only needs to seize high-end power.

Thinking of this, many thoughts flooded Wang Xuan's mind, and he continued to ask: "Thank you for your advice, what is the best strategy?"

Guo Luquan stroked his beard leisurely, "The best strategy is to take refuge in a powerful family and go to the frontier army to earn a job. If you stay in the military mansion, you will be a captain at most for the rest of your life. When you get old and weak, you will be dismissed immediately." Replaced by a newcomer."

Liu Shun and Zhang Heng didn't speak, they looked at Wang Xuan eagerly.

They know that this matter is important, needless to say the bad policy, how to take the medium policy and the best policy also determines the future fate.

Wang Xuan pondered silently for a while, then waved his hands and said, "There is no rush, let's earn some money first."

In fact, a decision has been made in mind.

He is not the loyal son of the Great Yan Dynasty, and he has no interest in being an eagle dog of the aristocratic family.

In this way, on the contrary, he can let go of his actions.

.........

After being reminded by others, Wang Xuan's heart cleared up.

To say that he is in a predicament at this time is nothing more than the decline of the military mansion, being trapped here, and his obscurity makes it difficult for military strategists to practice and deduce.

What Guo Luquan said is that the best strategy is the best, either to cause harm to one party, or to become a vassal of the big family, which is not considered.

As for the middle policy...

Earning money, strengthening the army, becoming famous, and deducing spells can completely form a closed loop, but it is the most suitable for him.

Just how to start?

The clues were not clear yet, but just after noon the next day, the county captain Jinhu came to the door...

"Slow down, put things here."

Jin Hu led a few porters to carry a bunch of things: two slices of pork, two slices of mutton, rice, noodles, vegetable oil, radishes and wild rice stems... the yard was full.

Wang Xuan was puzzled: "Lieutenant Jin, you are..."

Jin Hu clasped his fists with a laugh and said, "My lord, won't it be the beginning of winter soon? I discussed it with my lord Li, and we will take out some of the harvest from the Demon Nest and give some etiquette to the brothers in the military mansion."

Wang Xuan shook his head, "The Demon Nest has harvested half of the military mansion..."

"No, my lord, listen to me!"

Jin Hu's expression became solemn, "The encirclement and suppression of the demon's nest that day, others don't know, but I know that the adults will take care of it. If I confront the demon tiger, the county government's manpower will probably be lost by half. I am old Jin Jianghu. But don’t forget the meaning of righteousness.”

After finishing speaking, he chuckled: "Furthermore... from now on, I'm afraid you will have to trouble your lord."

This is the truth.

Wang Xuan shook his head and smiled, "That would be disrespectful."

He showed himself that day, and he was already a master at condensing dead dogs in this remote Yong'an County. Jin Hu was obviously here to burn a cold stove.

After delivering the gifts, Jin Hu mentioned the business: "Master Wang, County Magistrate Li invites you to the county government office to discuss important matters."

.........

Yong'an County Yamen, back hall.

To be honest, his predecessor was not a qualified captain, and he was devoted to practicing kung fu and military training with his head covered. He only wanted to make a great contribution to get into the eyes of the nobles, and then left the ghostly place of Yong'an, and had little contact with the county government.

After the handyman served tea and withdrew, the county magistrate Li Siyuan's face immediately turned a little bitter, "Lieutenant Wang, the situation in Yong'an County is currently in turmoil, and we must work together to overcome the difficulties."

Wang Xuan took a sip of tea unhurriedly, "Master Li, please clarify."

County Magistrate Li sighed and said: "The matter of the demon nest is a disaster from heaven, but if it involves Feng...that thing, the old man has no choice but to resign himself to fate and see what the higher authorities say."

Wang Xuan nodded, and suddenly his eyes moved, "What if it's not just our Yong'an who have the accident?"

"Captain Wang means..."

County Magistrate Li was puzzled at first, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead: "If that's the case, it will be a great disaster, but it has nothing to do with us... Let's not talk about it, Captain Wang, we can't get involved in this matter!"

Seeing Wang Xuan nodding, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "There is a troublesome matter right now. Shiwa Village has been hit by disaster, and people in Yong'an County must be in panic. We need to appease the people so that there will be no chaos."

Wang Xuan took a look at the slippery head, "Master Li must have a countermeasure, just say it directly."

Li Siyuan nodded slightly and said: "I do have a plan, but it needs the cooperation of Mr. Wang."

"It is said that the abbot of the Jingyao Division is the abbot of the Jingyao Division, but Xiaowei Wang beheaded the ferocious tiger monster. It is also a great achievement. Moreover, the Jingyao Division's yamen only exists in Fucheng, and the mountains are high and the roads are far away. The people's hearts are not at ease."

"What I mean is to vigorously publicize the fact that Captain Wang killed the tiger demon, and the people of Yong'an will feel at ease knowing that you, a tiger-fighting hero, are in charge!"

After all, he stroked his beard triumphantly.

Wang Xuan almost spit out a mouthful of tea.

Tiger hero?I'm still Wu Song...

Any county magistrate uses this method...

It didn't matter to Wang Xuan, the thing he was most afraid of was fame, but a light flashed in his mind, and he mused:

"Since Mr. Li said so, Wang is willing to cooperate, but the false name can't last for a while. If there are a few more evil spirits, I'm afraid the situation will be even worse, and the official's reputation will be regarded as stinky."

How did this guy get so smart...

Li Siyuan, the county magistrate, said with a sneer: "One day is counted as one day. What's the coup for Lieutenant Wang?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Xuan's mouth:
"It's very simple, I plan to revive the Zhenxie Army Mansion!"
