Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 17 Team Officer
"That's right, I want to borrow some money from Master Shen, and I'll pay you back in a few months." Li Jing said.

"Hahaha, what I thought was the matter. You got bear bile, and my Shen family is in favor of you. How much do you want?" Shen Zheng said with a smile.

"1000 taels, within half a year, I will definitely pay it off." Li Jing said.

"Hehe, Da Li... I'm much older than you, so I'll call you a good nephew. You just said that we are not outsiders, so why are you still being polite to me? Isn't it just 1000 taels of silver? It's not that Shen is here with you If you talk big in front of him, don’t say 1000 taels, it’s 1 taels, just open your mouth. If you think highly of Shen, don’t mention paying back the money.” Shen Zheng said.

"How can this work! As the saying goes, it's easy to borrow and repay, and it's not difficult to borrow again. You are trying to silence my nephew, and you don't want to lend me money in the future." Li Jing laughed.

"Nephew, you have just been in charge of the family here, so you must do something for everyone to see to convince the public. You must use this money for this. Although you are sure to pay back the money, if you don't pay it, you will be in trouble." I'm afraid I will lose face in front of everyone. I mean, we only know about this, and you can pay it back if you have money, and I don't want you if you don't have money. Well... 1000 taels may not be enough. In this case, I will give you two thousand , you use it first, and if it’s not enough, you can get it later.” Shen Zheng thought for a while and said.

"Thank you, Master Shen." Li Jingxi said.

"In the future, the word "Master Shen" will be omitted. If you think highly of Shen, how about calling him uncle?" Shen Zheng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Shi." Li Jing said with a smile.

"Um... Uncle Shi, there is one more thing. I don't understand the accounts very well. Is there anyone in your house who can help me with the accounts?" Li Jing said.

"Don't you know what my family does? You can find someone to handle your accounts. But this person must be someone who is absolutely close to us. I think about who is more suitable. I have , I will ask Jixian to help you with this. Jixian you have met, he is the son of my second brother, the kid who adopted me the day before yesterday." Shen Zhengdao.

"Is he a little younger? I think he is only sixteen or seventeen this year." Li Jing hesitated.

"Hehe, isn't there me here? Don't look at his young age, as long as I train him a little bit, he will be a talent in business in the future." Shen Zheng smiled.

"That's right! The person Uncle Shi likes will never be bad, otherwise you wouldn't adopt him as your son." Li Jing nodded with a smile.

"Then it's settled. I'll send someone to deliver the money to you in a while." Shen Zheng said.

Li Jing thought for a while and then said: "I still need to prepare a few books, and write down the names of the brothers on the mountain. It is best to record in detail, age, place of origin, and how many members of the family are there. These are blood licking Man, it might be gone someday, I can't treat their little one badly."

"When will this be used?" Shen Zheng asked.

"Just prepare it at noon, I will need it then." Li Jing said.

"No problem, I will bring two more people there at noon." Shen Zhengdao.

"The little nephew will take his leave."

Li Jing stood up, bowed to Shen Zheng and bid farewell.

Shen Zheng hurriedly got up to see him off.

Li Jing did not return to his residence immediately, but walked around to see if the bandits were making preparations.

After turning around, Li Jing was quite satisfied. It seemed that one move to restrain Liu Er's idiot really had a deterrent effect on the gang of bandits.

But when he turned to the spring in the middle of the mountain, he saw Ma Wu and his men picking up the dead horse.

Li Jing was taken aback, why did Ma Wu want to do such a job?
As a bandit leader, he shouldn't do such a job no matter what. One thing that comes out of the mountain is probably much more important than this.

"Fifth Brother." Li Jing walked up to him and greeted him.

"The boss is here." Ma Wu put down the butcher knife in his hand and smiled.

"See the master." The bandits hurriedly put down their work and shouted.

"They're all from my own family, there's no need to do this." Li Jing waved his hand.

Li Jing suddenly found that he was very disgusted with these etiquettes.It would be better to face these bandits, but it would be much more troublesome to face Shen Zheng, and speaking felt very strenuous, half-literate, which made him think carefully about the words he used every time he spoke.

"Fifth brother, how do you do this?" Li Jing pointed to the dead horse.

"I can't do without watching. Brothers haven't done any big business for a long time, and haven't seen meat for almost a month. If you don't watch, someone will secretly take the meat home." Ma Wu said.

"How could this be? Isn't there anyone who specializes in cooking?" Li Jingqi asked.

"We gangsters, there is no need to distinguish so clearly, we will cook whoever we catch." Ma Wu said.

"Oh!" Li Jing looked at the bandits behind Ma Wu, and suddenly thought of something.

"Let's go, don't watch, it won't be like this in the future." Li Jing waved to Ma Wu.

After Ma Wu washed his hands and followed, Li Jing continued, "Fifth brother, don't do such things again in the future, and help me train my brothers."

"Hey! How could I do this? If I knew this mountain, it wouldn't be like this." Ma Wu rubbed his hands and laughed.

"If you don't know how to study, do you want to be like this for the rest of your life? Look at the famous generals throughout the ages, which one was born able to fight? Ming... the Taizu of this dynasty was born as a beggar, so he is not as good as you! That's all One knife, one gun, one battle after another, and a few more battles will naturally follow."

Li Jing originally wanted to explain to Zhu Yuanzhang of the dynasty, but suddenly remembered that it was not quite right to say so, so he immediately changed his words.

"Yes, Ma Wu understands." Ma Wu responded.

Li Jing thought for a while and then said: "These days you follow Uncle Chen, he is an old soldier, learn from him how officers and soldiers usually train."

Hearing about learning from officers and soldiers, Ma Wu said disdainfully: "The level of officers and soldiers is not as good as ours. What can we learn from them?"

"As far as you see, are they called officers and soldiers? They are called bastards. They can't beat you not because you are better than them, but because you are not afraid of death and dare to risk your life. These bastards are timid and afraid of death. You just lost. If you meet real officers and soldiers, relying on your current level, you will have to die." Li Jing scolded.

"Yes, then I will learn from Uncle Chen." Ma Wu said honestly.

"To learn something, you need to learn and apply it flexibly. I let you learn from officers and soldiers. It doesn't mean that their methods are good. We don't learn some useless ones, but we must understand them so that we can find them when we confront officers and soldiers in the future. Their weakness." Li Jing continued.

"Understood, this is the one who knows himself and knows the enemy, what's the point of fighting a hundred battles?" Ma Wu suddenly realized.

"Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be imperiled in a hundred battles." Li Jing laughed.

"Yes, that's the sentence. I can't remember it when I'm so polite." Ma Wu scratched his head and smiled.

Li Jing patted Ma Wu's shoulder with a smile: "In the future, I will find someone to teach me how to read. If you don't know how to read, that's fine."

"Why learn that thing?" Ma Wu scratched his head again.

Li Jing stopped, turned his head and said seriously: "You said that if we are not together in the future, I have something to tell you, but it is inconvenient for others to know, what should I do if I can't let someone bring you a message? Is it necessary? What about writing to you? You don’t know how to read, and you can’t understand me when I write to you. You can’t let others read the letter to you, right? Since I wrote to you, I definitely don’t want others to know.”

"Yes, yes, some things are indeed like this." Ma Wu nodded after hearing this.

"Fifth brother, you are very smart. I will rely on you a lot in the future. Work hard! Our brothers will not stay in this small place forever." Li Jing patted Ma Wu on the shoulder and smiled.

"En!" Ma Wu nodded vigorously.

While talking, the two returned to the so-called Gathering Hall.In the hall, Shen Zheng sent several family members to wait with two suitcases. When Li Jing came back, one of them took out two keys and handed them to Li Jing. It's been a while."

Li Jing waved his hand: "No need, I have to trouble a few brothers."

"Then we're going back," the family said.

"Let's go slowly." Li Jingting nodded.

After Shen's family members left, Ma Wu looked at the two boxes and wondered, "What are these?"

"Silver." Li Jing said lightly.

"Silver? These two big boxes are full of silver? How much is that?" Ma Wu asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"2000 taels." Li Jing pointed his fingers.

"Ah!" Ma Wuwen exclaimed when he heard this.

Ma Wu has also robbed many passing merchants in the past two years. If the goods are converted into money, the savings may be less than 2000 taels of silver.

"What are you doing with all this money?" Ma Wu asked in surprise.

"Fifth brother, you didn't know how to save in the past, you only knew how to eat and drink by yourself. There are so many brothers on the mountain, don't their families want to eat? This rule needs to be changed in the future. From now on, the brothers will be paid on a monthly basis. How much is the salary, I will ask Uncle Chen how much the official army is, what do you think we have one tael more than the official army?" Li Jing said.

"Brother, let's talk about the past. I obeyed you because you could fight, but today I completely surrendered. I don't say anything. From now on, Ma Wu's life will be sold to you." Ma Wu Five ways.

"Our brothers will have a long time to come." Li Jing patted Ma Wudao.

Looking at the sky, guessing that lunch should be ready, Li Jing took Ma Wu to eat at Old Man Chen's.

Taking Ma Wu with him implied that he, Old Man Chen's family, was also Li Jing's confidantes, and with Ma Wu's wit, he would understand this meaning.

When old man Chen saw that Li Jing brought Ma Wu to dinner, he naturally understood that it was Li Jing who made the Chen family get closer to the former head of Jinniuling.

During the dinner, Li Jing asked old man Chen to help him train the bandits on the mountain, and entrusted him with the post of deputy team officer.

Li Jing didn't know much about Daming's military system, but when he first met old man Chen, old man Chen asked him if he had ever been in the army. Although he didn't deny it, he actually acquiesced.

Wouldn't it be unreasonable to suddenly tell everyone that he didn't understand the military system of the Ming Dynasty?

Fortunately, there are not many people on the mountain, only about [-] people, and there is no need to use the military system of the imperial court for training.Old man Chen didn't think too much about it. Although he didn't know what the position of this team officer was, it was probably similar to the instructor in the army.
