Chapter 37 General Flag

When dealing with New Year's greetings during the day and thinking about future development at night, Li Meng could not think of what he could do in this trend with his hundreds of people. In the end, he could only do everything in front of him down-to-earth and earn every penny he should make.

On the third day of the junior high school, the number of people decreased, and Li Meng was also rare to be clean. Zhao Neng got up in the morning and started to ask his mother to cook and drink, saying that he would invite Chen Liuzi at noon, and Wang Hai and a few of them came to have a drink and gather together. Li Meng finished his body in the yard and came to chat with Zhao Neng, but heard Zhao Neng complaining:

"The Ma Baihu is so old, but he is not in the world. Brother Li, you saved his bastard son. What a great kindness, I will only come to say hello during the Chinese New Year."

Li Meng smiled and knew that the official title of Ma Baihu was still a little shocked to the military brothers around him. If Ma Baihu came to bow his head to greet the New Year, these people would definitely be very energetic. Just as they were about to answer, it was a coincidence that someone knocked on the door outside and shouted:

"Is anyone here?"

The voice was exactly Ma Baihu. Li Meng glanced at Zhao Neng beside him, and smiled and walked forward to open the door. Ma Baihu stood outside the door wearing a green robe. As for Ma Baihu's age, he was also the elders of Li Meng and Zhao Neng, so he must be polite.

Speaking of which, Ma Baihu has not visited since he rescued Ma Gang in the early twelfth lunar month. Although Li Meng did not take it seriously, he also felt that the old man regarded himself as a cadre too much, so after he finished speaking the polite words of the New Year, he had no intention of keeping a guest. Just as he was about to see him off, Ma Baihu coughed a few times, took out a piece of neatly stacked paper and a small cloth bag from his arms, and said:

"Li Meng, bring that beast back. I really don't know how to repay this great kindness. I can't take out the old man even if you spend a lot of money, but I still gave up this old face and knelt in front of the commander's door for two days, begging you for the provocation of this general flag..."

Li Meng suddenly widened his eyes and stared at the cloth bag and paper. Zhao Neng next to him looked even more dumbfounded. The garrison commanded five thousand households under him, each with ten hundred households under him, two general flags under him and ten small flags under him. This is the current system of the garrison.

These thousand households, hundred households and others are hereditary titles, and nominally have the power to govern the military households they belong to. However, in this poor place, if you have this title, you don’t make a lot of money, you have to work hard to ask for money, grain, and labor service. It is obviously a chore, and no one wants to do it. The chief banner is the deputy 100 households. If Ma Baihu is a village chief, the chief banner is the deputy village chief. There is no benefit at all, and I am afraid that there will be more hard work.

However, the title of the general flag is too important to Li Meng. No matter how many of the general flags are, they are also an official. Although they are a small officer who cannot be even smaller, Li Meng, who is from the modern era, knows that he has a background in the government and is of great help to do business, whether it is legal or illegal business.

Moreover, the title of the general flag can provide convenience for many things for himself. Not only on the matter of private salt, Ma Baihu looked at Li Meng's unconcealed excitement, and felt relieved. When he took the lawsuit, his wife and son complained, saying that it was an offensive job that was willing to do, and that Li Meng's business was full of news, who would still like to be the title of the general flag.

Li Meng unveiled the letter of confession very rudely and looked carefully. Although it was traditional Chinese characters on it, it was not difficult to identify it. There was a small copper seal in the cloth bag, which was the seal.

"What's the use of this thing? If you spend the amount of food, you can supplement it yourself..."

Zhao Neng muttered quietly there, but Li Meng glared back with a sharp look. Turning his head, Li Meng gave a big gift to Ma Baihu and said in a stern voice:

"Thank you, Ma Baihu. If there is anything in the future, Li will never refuse."

Now even Ma Baihu was stunned, thinking that this thing is just a good reputation, why is it so solemn? Just as he was about to be polite, he thought that he had something to ask for, so he first supported Li Meng and coughed and said:

"I'm not hiding it to Mr. Li, I'll ask for something this time."

The request was so fast. Li Meng didn't care. He made the expression of asking for advice. Ma Baihu's face turned slightly red, but shouted to the outside:

"Little beast, why are you hiding there? Let me ask you here for help!!"

With a shout here, a person walked over at the gate of the yard. It was Ma Gang. The young and naughty look in Fengmeng Town was gone. He lowered his head there, Ma Baihu sighed and asked:

"Master Li Qi, I, a poor boy, knows some martial arts skills and is still strong. I have been making noises these days to follow Mr. Li Qi, you. Old man, I think this guy might be able to help you. I'm holding this old face."

After saying that, the old households clasped their fists and bowed solemnly with a more respectful attitude. Seeing the old man opposite him feeling embarrassed but still giving such a big gift to a young man younger than him and lower in his official position, Li Meng suddenly felt soft-hearted. Moreover, a strong young man like Ma Gang was indeed what he needed. He smiled politely:

"Why do Ma Baihu have to be so generous? Ma Gang is not bad, I've taken it in."

Hearing that Li Meng was so quick and easy, Ma Baihu looked up excitedly and said:

"Master Li Qi, this bastard will be yours in the future. You can beat and scold you. Even if you kill with one knife, it will be the kid who is guilty of that kid. I won't say much about the old man."

Ma Baihu was quick and straightforward. After showing his respects, he turned around and walked to Ma Gang to scold him, and went home. Li Meng looked at Ma Gang's retracted hands and feet, and couldn't help but sing:

"Boy, are you dissatisfied?"

Ma Gang's unruly appearance really needs to be suppressed. Li Meng could naturally see that. After hearing this question, Ma Gang stood at the door and muttered:

"You have good fists and feet, but you may not be able to hit me on the weapons!"

Li Meng laughed loudly, thinking that this is really a child, and immediately spoke:
Chapter completed!
