Chapter 139: Being able to mix with officials

Wanhua was very satisfied with Liu Zhong's performance, from beginning to end, Liu Zhong did not kneel down and kowtow to himself, at most he only bent down and arched his hands a few more, which shows that this person has backbone, and people with backbone can generally be trusted, of course, when they meet for the first time, it is impossible for Wanhua to fully trust,

So Wanhua said: "Okay, it's not early, you will stay here tonight, and come with me tomorrow." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liu Zhong was not afraid, nor did he shirk, so he said: "Then disturb the tiger master." ”

As he spoke, Liu Zhong scratched his head a little embarrassedly, as if he wanted to speak and stopped.

So Wanhua said: "If you have anything, just say it, don't be embarrassed, since you dare to put the treasure on me, it means that you have also inquired about me, I am not the kind of unreasonable person, what to say." ”

Liu Zhong said embarrassedly: "Master Hu, I haven't eaten much in the past few days, can you enjoy something to eat first?" ”

Wan Hua couldn't help but smile and said, "What a big deal I should be!" ”

Saying that, Wanhua said to Guo Zhen again: "Guo Zhen, you arrange someone to get him something to eat, find him a room at night, and watch it tightly." ”

"Yes,"

With that, Guo Zhen took Liu Zhong down.

When Liu Zhong went down, he kept giving Wanhua a salute, and said bluntly: "The tiger master is really benevolent and righteous, and the tiger master is so good." ”

After Liu Zhong left, Shirong asked, "Big brother, do you think this person can be trusted?" Could it be a hook? ”

Before Wan Hua could speak, Lao Tan said first: "Probably not, if he is a hook, then who is the backhand?" In this rice fat, the strongest is the Fire Dragon King, and the others are not worried. ”

Wanhua also felt that it made sense, so he said to them: "There are people in this world who make any kind of money, some people rely on strength to make money, and some people rely on their brains, this Liu Zhong doesn't look at him with a thin appearance, but he is also a little bold, and he also has a sense of cleverness, if it is a gathering of wind and clouds, he will encounter one or two opportunities, and maybe he can become a character in the future." ”

For this sentence, Lao Tan agreed very much, and only listened to him say: "What the big boss said is good, thinking that Jiang Ziya is so old, he will do nothing, if he didn't meet King Zhou Wen in his later years, it would be buried ironcladly, who still knows that there is such an old man, a person is born, and the wind and clouds will meet, how mysterious!" ”

After saying this, Wan Hua couldn't help asking: "Old Tan, tomorrow the matter of the Fire Dragon King should be reported to an official, after all, he is also a giant bandit, and he should also have a bit of silver or something, if he doesn't take it for nothing, he may be able to get a few hundred taels of silver into the account." ”

Lao Tan thought about it, couldn't help but smile, and then said: "The matter of rewarding silver, the big boss is a little too much, and the reward is estimated to have not been allocated yet, it may be less than half, plus this layer of up and down, there can be a fraction left in the hands of the big boss, even if it is thankful." ”

Shirong Wanqiang Lin Hu couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it, Wanhua understood it, hey, with the level of making money from Ming officials, he really thought a little too much, and even dared to take the Liaodong military salary, not to mention his own little shrimp, yes, his own credit is in vain.

Indeed, in the later period of the Ming Dynasty, the level of corruption has reached a breathtaking level, for example, the border army officials enter Beijing to request the allocation of military salaries, and every time they have to spend money up and down, they can only be allocated, otherwise they will be pushed left and right, and it is not easy to get the military salary, and the military salary has not yet left the capital, and it has been divided by officials at all levels at least three or four percent, so the Ming Dynasty also has a saying that the salary does not go out of Beijing. And after this military salary was brought back by the officials, it had to go through layers of exploitation, and when it came to the hands of the soldiers, there was only a fraction left.

This is a military salary, and the soldiers take their lives in exchange for money, and they dare to reach out and take it! It's no wonder that in the late Ming Dynasty, soldiers were no different from beggars, just like that, how much combat effectiveness do you expect him to have, that's really a lot to think about!

It is estimated that there is not much hope for rewarding silver, but Wan Hua thought again, can he get an official position, he has also exterminated a group of giant bandits, how can he also reward a general flag, catch the head, and a hundred households or something!

Thinking of this, Wanhua couldn't help but come to the spirit, so he said: "Since we can't get the reward, then we want to be a petty official, and now we are also the leader of one party, so many people follow us, and we don't have an identity, which is somewhat misnomerical and unreasonable." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the people were full of enthusiasm in their eyes, and they were officials! In this era, there is a world of difference between officials and ordinary people, in the eyes of the common people, even if it is an official with a sesame mung bean, it is also a heavenly existence!

Lao Tan also nodded and praised: "Yes, what the big boss said is reasonable, if you can mix with an official body, it will be convenient to do things, and it will be easier for people to be subdued." ”

Shirong also said: "Yes, yes, yes, we are mixed with an official body, we are also officials, that is a matter of glory to the ancestors, if my father and mother know that we are officials, then I don't know what it will be like to be happy!" ”

Others also responded happily, this is not to blame them, it is really too much temptation to be an official, a random person in the county government walked out, to the countryside, that is all high, arrogant, the common people are in their eyes, in their hearts, if they can be officials, then they will be the same as them!

Seeing that everyone was so enthusiastic, Wan Hua said: "Okay, let's just decide, become an official, cut off the head of the Fire Dragon King and deal with it, and when we are done with the things at hand, we will go to the county government to ask for credit." ”

"Okay, big brother, I'm going to cut it, just try this knife more." Lin Hu couldn't help but say.

Others are also scrambling, Wan Hua is also in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, you guys are officials, everyone has a share, if I become a hundred households, you are all officials of the general banner and small banner, are you still afraid?" ”

When everyone heard him, they couldn't help but laugh embarrassedly, yes, it's a shame that the eldest brother can forget about us.

and Lao Tan explained a few more words, and then Wan Hua saw that it was too late, so he asked everyone to go back to rest, but the precautions that should be taken are still required, leaving two soldiers on duty at night, this has to become a rule, and they will do this in the future.

Besides, Liu Zhong, after he was taken down, he came to a wooden room, four people were responsible for guarding him, he didn't care, he was eating rice there, and after a while, there were four bowls of rice in his stomach, it was really a starving ghost reincarnated.

The guards couldn't help but say: "With your kid's virtue, you dare to inquire about the Fire Dragon King's lair, aren't you afraid that the Fire Dragon King will chop you to pieces?" ”

Liu Zhong smiled and said: "This big brother, you are a full man and I don't know that a hungry man is hungry, if you are killed, you will die, and if you starve to death, you will die left and right, it is better to fight, if it is done, maybe you can ask a mother-in-law to go home to warm the bed!" ”

Several guards were laughed at by him, only to hear the guards jokingly say: "Your kid is a starving ghost and a perverted ghost reincarnated, at this time you are still thinking about women, let's fill your stomach first!" ”

Liu Zhong said shamelessly: "Big brother, what you said is not right, men want women, that's a natural thing, when you think about it, it's right, as the old saying goes, women are pots, men are covers, once separated, the pot wants to be covered, the lid wants to be a pot, big brother, do you say this is the reason!" ”

The guards laughed at him, and they couldn't breathe for a long time, they had never seen such a poor mouth.

I only heard the guard say again: "You kid, don't look at your appearance, crooked intestines, if you are rich and powerful, sooner or later you will die on the belly of a woman, you kid have to be careful." ”

Liu Zhong was even more excited by what he said, and said happily: "There is really that day, I Liu Zhong can't ask for it, big brother, then I will ask you for auspicious words, there is really that day, I can't forget you, by the way, I will also find you a mother-in-law to warm the bed?" ”
