For example, Shilipu and its four subordinate fire road piers, there are only six official quotas in total - Shili Pu pipe team officer, post team officer, and the first captain of the four fire road piers. In fact, in Shilipu, there are many ancestral military households, due to the shadow of their ancestors, they have the title of small flag and general flag, but they do not have an official and a half-position, and they are not a fart, and they are not necessarily better than ordinary military households.

But Dong Ce suddenly went from an ordinary military household to not only the rank of Xiaoqi, but also the commander of the fire road pier. In three days, they have changed from a fool who is bullied to a long man, and this transformation is a little unacceptable to them.

Not to mention, the fire road pier armor is long, this is a good errand.

There are seven or eight soldiers under his hands, needless to say, he has real power, and he can embezzle some military salaries every month, which is also human nature.

And that's not even the fattest.

The main duty of the fire road pier is to watch and guard, so it is generally built in a high place, flat on all sides, and there is a lot of cultivated land around, some of these cultivated land has been encroached upon, and some are abandoned due to the repeated entry of the Tartars.

In short, there are many benefits.

Some people are thoughtful, and they can already conclude that this Dong Erlang really doesn't know what means to use, but he has climbed the line of Lord Xu, if + one + book + read + novel xstxt otherwise, how can Lord Xu give him such benefits? Although this appointment is under the command of the Zhenqiang Fort, who doesn't know that the appointment and dismissal of the four fire road pier chiefs at the head of Shilipu is not just a sentence from Lord Xu?

Their speculation did not do any harm to Dong Ce, but it avoided a lot of trouble, and saved him from wasting his tongue to explain anything.

Dong Ce took two steps forward, kowtowed to Xu Rujian in a proper manner, and said, "Thank you for the little one, I am grateful." ”

Xu Rujian smiled slightly, and encouraged: "Do things well, don't live up to the expectations of Lord Xia and this official." ”

Dong Ce was respectful, and said a bunch of words of thanks.

Xu Ruyi helped him for a while, and Dong Ce got up.

Xu Rujian glanced at everyone, waved his hand and said, "That's all here today, it's not too early, let's disperse!" ”

When everyone dispersed, he said to Dong Ce: "You come with me." ”

Dong Ce naturally knew what kind of calculation he was playing in his heart, and sure enough, as Xu Rujian entered the mansion and came to the flower hall in the backyard, Xu Ruyu took a sip of tea, teased his eyelids, and asked, "What about Tian Qi?" ”

This sentence is to pull down most of the majesty that he relied on the authority of the official uniform and the soldiers behind him, Dong Ce bent down slightly, and said respectfully: "My lord, please forgive me, the Tian Qi is in the small home, but the road is quite far away, and it can't be brought for a while, but please rest assured, the small one will definitely not dare to deceive the adult." ”

"You don't have the guts." Xu Rujian snorted lightly, and said: "It's just now, but it's already farming time, you ......"

Dong Ce is also a character who understands the meaning of the strings and songs, and immediately said: "Those real estate are already adults', how to deal with them, naturally the adults have the final say, but it is inconvenient for the small ones to speak." ”

Xu Ruyi glanced at Dong Ce with satisfaction, and smiled slightly: "Since this is the case, then the official will not be polite to you." ”

He took a document from the table and handed it to Dong Ce, saying, "This is the document appointing you as the head of Anxiang Dunjia, take it and take it to take office." ”

Then he waved his hand: "Go!" ”

"Yes!" Dong Ce thanked him honestly, took the paperwork and left.

During the whole process, Xu Rujian didn't say that someone served him tea, but he didn't even let him sit, which can be said to be very rude, but with the real relationship between the two, it is strange that Xu Rujian can give him a good face.

After Dong Ce left, a person came out from behind the screen in the flower hall, but it was Zhang Han.

He looked at Dong Ce's back and was silent.

Xu Ruwei said: "Mr. Zhang, what do you think?" ”

It turns out that although Xu Rujie is inactive, mediocre and greedy, he is not a good stubble, and his personality is also ruthless, how can he let Dong Ce, a small military household, flatten himself and pinch him and threaten him casually?

He is also a ruthless person, he has already given an order, and he has been ambushed on the way to Anxiangdun by Dong Ce in the past few days, and once he goes to Anxiangdun to take office, he will immediately ambush him in the wilderness, and he will be slaughtered unknowingly. As for the person Dong Ce used to threaten him, he had already dealt with it.

Xu Ruwei had already sent someone to thoroughly investigate the people who went out in Shilipu yesterday, and there was only one Huang Ji, and the relationship between Huang Ji and Dong Ce was well known, so he immediately deduced that the foreshadowing arranged by Dong Ce must be Huang Ji. He had secretly sent someone to visit Huang Ji, and entrusted his colleagues who were familiar with him in Zhenqiang Fort and Yang Hewei to help.

After all, he has been an official for decades, and the huge network of relationships and influence is definitely not comparable to Dong Ce. And he has been an official for decades, commanding, thinking that he is bullying others, how can he have been bullied like this by a small military household? This is something he simply cannot tolerate.

After all, Dong Ce was a newcomer, although his mind was already meticulous enough and his plan was almost perfect, he still underestimated the arrogance and powerful power that Xu Rujie had cultivated over the decades.

These officials of the Ming Dynasty may grovel like a dog when facing foreign enemies who will not be constrained by the Ming Dynasty system at all, but when facing the people, soldiers and civilians under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they grind their teeth and suck blood, as fierce as poisonous snakes and beasts.

Zhang Han pondered for a moment, and several thoughts turned in his heart, but he shook his head and said, "My lord, I think it's inappropriate." ”

"Oh? How so? Xu Ruyu hurriedly asked.

"First, this Dong Erlang is full of martial arts, and the number of people you can use is limited, the people we sent may not be able to kill him, if he runs away, it will be a big disaster."

"Second, that Huang Ji is an old oilman, if you say something offended, you may not be able to catch him, if you give him a complaint to Yang and the guard yamen, the consequences will be really unimaginable."

Zhang Han smiled slightly: "Anyway, he is an official under your rule, and he will be killed in the future, it is not your lordship that you have the final say, and when Huang Ji comes back, he will no longer be a threat to us, and then find a reason to kill him all, leave no trouble, and pick him up." ”

Xu Ruyi thought for a while, and finally nodded slowly: "It's still Mr. Zhang." ”

Dong Ce didn't know about this conversation that happened after he went out, and when he left the yamen, he saw that the tenants of his family did not leave, but stood at the corner of the street not far away. When they saw Dong Ce, they all came around, and they said congratulations again and again.

They are Dong Ce's tenants, and the better Dong Ce mixes and the bigger the official position, the happier and honorable they are. No, after Dong Ce became the first captain, they walked, and their chins were slightly raised, and they had a sense of arrogance in them.

After a few words with them, and seeing that it was not early, he sent them home.

Dong Ce took the second girl home, and the military households and people he met along the way stepped aside one after another and respectfully called 'Lord Dong'. ’

Even if it's a small armor chief, it's not a people, it's an official, it's an existence they need to look up to, and it's not wrong to call an adult.

Dong Ce just looked faint, and bowed his head slightly, at this time, if you are very kind and smiling, not only will you not be considered easy-going, but you will feel that you are too shallow, and you will be rampant at the slightest ambition, and you will not have official authority and official spirit, which is inevitably unqualified.

A group of people dangled from the opposite side, walking horizontally, similar to crabs, and when they saw Dong Ce, they hurriedly surrounded them and said hello.

The leader sneered: "Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Lord Dong for his ascension, hehe, we saw you back that day and said, the boss, you are purple, and you are going to be an official and in power, and you are rich and noble." ”

But it was Wang Tong's group.

Dong Ce looked at him and touched his chin, and said jokingly: "I didn't see it myself, how can you see it?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Tong opened his mouth and was speechless, very embarrassed.

Dong Ce smiled: "Yes, I won't joke with you, let me ask you a few words, do you know where our nearest crude medicine shop is?" ”

Wang Tongnai is a good thing, this messy big and small affairs within a radius of dozens of miles, he doesn't know much, and immediately said: "We don't have a ten-mile shop, it's in Xiamizhuang thirteen miles away, where there is a big town within a radius of dozens of miles, and the big officials in the west gate of the town have opened a crude medicine shop, and the business is thriving." ”

"Ximen official, crude medicine shop?"

Dong Ce couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "I still have to bother you to go to Xia Mizhuang for a while, and buy me some herbs for treating flesh wounds such as knives, guns, sticks, etc., which are enough for ten people." ”

"When an adult tells a small one to do something, that's a small blessing, what do you say about bothering and not bothering?" Wang Tong slapped the thin chest like ribs, and took it down, but then he turned around, rubbed his hands, and said: "But Dong Tou'er, the little ones have been tight for the past two days......"

Dong Ce saw his ghost thoughts at a glance, and scolded with a smile: "You cushion first, come back to my mansion, can you shorten your money?" Hurry up and come back early to report to me. ”

Wang Tong hurriedly responded, explained to his henchmen, and walked away.

On the way back, the second girl asked angrily, "Master, do you want to cure any disease?" Why bother them, Madame's medical skills are excellent. ”

"Oh?"

Dong Ce couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this, Wei Hongsleeve also knows how to heal?

Erya said: "Two years ago, we had a plague here, and many people died, and my wife went out to buy medicine, and when I went home, I boiled it for a few of us to drink, and we were fine." ”
