Zhu Jie finally woke up, how can I say that I feel wrong, no matter how powerful I am, in the position of Shuntianfu, I have to be restrained, this Wei Zhaocheng is equivalent to bringing a pair of handcuffs to himself!

But can that be hard for me?

Zhu Jie secretly sneered in his heart, but he hurriedly didn't show it, and replied lightly: "Thank you Lord Fang for reminding me, but Wei Zhaocheng wanted to push me into the fire pit and want to burn me, but he didn't know that I was a grandson monkey who couldn't be burned, and in the end, he didn't burn me, but he lifted his gossip furnace!" Master Fang, I know in my heart, just be careful, this Wei Zhaocheng, don't fall into my hands, once it falls into my hands, I will let him take off the two layers of skin......"

Fang Yuegong sighed and said: "You still have to be careful, don't be strong in everything, have a good relationship with the dignitaries, open one eye, close one eye, will it, as long as you don't annoy these people, they don't want to trouble you, after all, you have the emperor's protection, remember, you can temporarily suppress the affairs of Shuntianfu, the most important thing at present is to put the fourteen guards in order......"

In the next few days, Zhu Jie began to rectify the pace of the fourteenth guard.

The first thing is the garrison in Tongzhou, Zhu Jie first transferred all the cavalry of Yang Chengzu and Shu Xinchen to Tongzhou, and began to build a guard near the Bali Bridge.

Tongzhou originally had two guards on the left and right, and the two guards were added together, with a strength of up to tens of thousands, of course, this is only the strength on the surface, and the actual strength is geometric, only God knows.

"Lord Dong, Lord Lu, this official is ordered by the emperor to rectify the fourteen guards, your two guards in Tongzhou are close to the water, start with Tongzhou, and tell the official about your family background......

Zhu Jie looked at the two commanders and said.

Dong Qiguang, the commander of the Tongzhou Left Guard, replied: "Lord Qiyu, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the Xiaguan Tongzhou Left Guard has a total of 5,000 households, 5,600 people, and now there are 5,000 registered soldiers, and the remaining 600 people are temporarily short of ......."

Lu Daxi, a commander in Tongzhou, replied: "Lord Qiyu, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the right guard of Tongzhou has a total of 5,000 households, 5,600 people, and now there are 4,900 registered soldiers, and the remaining 700 people are temporarily absent......

Zhu Jie nodded and replied: "Five thousand people, which is already a lot, but since the emperor asked me to implement the strategy of elite soldiers, it is impossible for the fourteen guards to have so many people in the future, I can give you a solid bottom, your two departments need to streamline the strength of four thousand households, pass the order, Tongzhou left and right guards, from the day after tomorrow, carry out large-scale assessments, survival of the fittest, each thousand households only leave the first 600 people in the assessment, outside the 600, all the layoffs, waiting for the court to deal with, before the court decrees down, continue to pay military salaries, But you can get out of training and on duty! I don't have much time, five days, five days later, the official will personally inspect the army, if you let me see the dissatisfaction, don't blame the official for asking you! ”

The two of them were stunned when they landed, the two guards actually wanted to lay off 4,000 households, what should they do with the eliminated troops? smashed their jobs, so they won't make trouble?

"What, there's a problem?"

Zhu Jie asked lightly.

Lu Daxi said bitterly: "My lord, so many people are dismissed in one go, our Tongzhou two guards must be chaotic, and besides, the number of troops has been reduced by nearly half at once, how can we suppress the place in the future." ”

Zhu Jie stood up and said indifferently: "The dismissal of soldiers is your business, and it must be completed within five days in accordance with my requirements. I have asked the emperor to prepare fields for them, and the retired soldiers will each be given six acres of Yongye land, Xiaoqi, General Banner, ten acres of Yongye land, 100 households will be given 15 acres of good land, and 1,000 households will be given 50 acres of good land. As for how to maintain a good place, that's the official's business, if something goes wrong, naturally I will take care of it, and it's not your turn to worry! ”

The official level crushed people to death, and now Zhu Jie is the commander of the same knowledge, and the fourteen guards have to listen to him, even if the two of them are unwilling, they are helpless.

It's just that the two people are naturally distressed in their hearts, the bigger the team, the more oil and water, the establishment of five or six thousand is naturally better than the establishment of three thousand people, the team of five or six thousand people, eat the empty salary of a thousand people, it is not obvious, some of them do too much and even directly eat the empty salary of more than 2,000 or even 3,000 people, but now the establishment has been cut in half at once, and there are only less than 3,000 people left in a guard, so how to play? Still eating one or two thousand people's empty salaries? How can it be!

There will be no empty salary to eat in the future, and the adult in front of him does not seem to be a fuel-efficient lamp, but I am afraid that it will not be so easy to buckle the low-level soldiers, and in the future, it will be necessary to tighten the belt and live......

"Brother Lu, tell me, what should I do about this matter? Isn't it our life to be downsized by half all at once? ”

Dong Qiguang said angrily.

Lu Daxi shook his head with a wry smile and replied, "So what? He is the emperor's favorite general, a favorite minister, and even the lord of the country heard that he was brought down by him, can we afford to provoke him? “

Dong Qiguang said ruthlessly: "I can't afford to provoke it, and I can't let this guy do whatever he wants in Tongzhou Liangwei!" Isn't he going to lay off the troops, that's good, let's cut it, but, the soldiers make trouble, Lao Tzu doesn't stop it, how they like to toss, how to toss, when the time comes, the board will fall on him Zhu Jie anyway, and it has nothing to do with us! ”

Lu Daxi shook his head and replied: "Brother, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, don't mess with them if you can't provoke them, otherwise, the unlucky ones will end up being us, unless you ......"

"Unless what?"

Dong Qiguang hurriedly asked, Lu Daxi has always been deep in the city and has some skills, Dong Qiguang still admires his colleague very much.

Lu Daxi looked at no one around, and said in a low voice: "Brother, there are people in the court who still want to fix Zhu Jie, and there are not a few, if you really imagine living a good life like before, there is only one way, our brothers will find a big backer, and then together, drive Zhu Jie away!" ”

Dong Qiguang's heart jumped when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Daxi incredulously, this guy is even more ruthless, he actually wants to kill Zhu Jie in one go!

"Brother Lu, you ......"

Lu Daxi said in a deep voice: "Brother, I have some relationship with Wei Zhaocheng, the head of the household department in the court, yesterday he asked someone to bring a message over, let me find some trouble for this Zhu Jie, it is best to force him away, as long as I can handle this matter, he is willing to promote me to be the commander, when the time comes, the brother is still no problem to be a commander, how about it, are you interested in giving it a try?" ”
