Chapter 153
: The disaster is in the east
According to Wei Guoxuan, most of his skills are all used to scare people. The real battle in front of the formation is not very useful. This Xiao Maxiong is just the opposite. He is a trick of fighting life and death to death with one move. The move is fatal when the blood knife is fatal. If he really wants to fight in person, even ten Wei Guoxuan will come back without his life and death.
What surprised Liu Peng even more was that although Xiao Maxiong was cold, he was also very tactful. Wu Xingchen had been in Liu Peng's hands for so long, and he would call Liu Peng "Brother" or "Little Liu" from time to time. When he was polite, he was just a saying of "Apeng".
Xiao Maxiong put his position very straight. He was obviously Liu Peng's uncle, but after coming in, he didn't say hello to Liu Peng, but whenever he had contact with Liu Peng, he would respectfully call him "Young Master Liu".
Of course, Liu Peng didn't know what Xiao Maxiong was thinking deep in his heart. Maybe Xiao Maxiong was disdainful of the child Liu Peng, but Xiao Maxiong at least made this gesture. In addition, this person was meticulous and was also a talent that Liu Peng urgently needed, so he became one of the four white soldiers under Liu Peng.
As for the eight Tchaifu standing behind, they were all newly recruited children of good families.
The so-called Tchaifu is actually a free coolie recruited by the government for free. It can be said to be a heavy burden for ordinary farmers' homes. Especially when you have to go to Linqingzhou, Jinan Prefecture, Beijing or even Shanhaiguan to serve labor, hundreds or thousands of miles of journey have to support yourself. If you have a mission thousands of miles away, a family will not be able to recover its vitality for several years. Therefore, the husbands in Huangxian County are naturally more popular.
But even the husbands in Huangxian County are divided into high and low. Liu Peng's current job is particularly popular. After all, he doesn't have to do rough work. Liu Peng has already said that as long as he works hard, not only can he keep food and accommodation, but Liu Peng can also find a way to raise a job and food. If he does well, he has a way to make these Tchaifu become real public men.
All these conditions are so tempting for ordinary farmers' families. Liu Peng has almost ten times the candidates. Finally, he carefully selected and asked Shen Bin and Chen Daming to check. Finally, he selected these eight people, all of whom were real peasant children, and had no bad habits. Several people could still read and write.
Now the solemn temperament of these eight Chaifu is far better than that of ordinary men. He stands quite neatly. The queue training in the past two days can be said to have done a good job. Wei Guoxuan at the front stood up straight and reported loudly: "Report to Mr. Liu, our team should have twelve people, but in fact, twelve people. Please give me instructions!"
Liu Peng felt a little more satisfied in his heart. Yes, this is the first team he brought up!
But for this team, Liu Peng could spend all the money he had obtained from the Winter Sorcerer and Lujiazhuang the last time. Just giving clothes to twelve people made Liu Peng feel heartbroken for a long time. You should know that Liu Peng had prepared three sets of clothes for each of them.
As Liu Peng promised before, everything in this team, whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, or the work, food and silver you get, or other clothing equipment, has not yet been in place for the money promised by the county, and is entirely provided by Liu Peng himself. Even if Gu Mengyu helped some, except for a red envelope that should have been sent a year ago, Liu Peng didn't have much money left.
But all this is worth it. Seeing such a neat team standing in front of you, Liu Peng shouted: "Stop! Everyone is our own people, don't be so serious. Today is a good day for our team..."
Liu Peng didn't know what name to call his team. In fact, the county did not have any name for Liu Peng's team. Liu Peng ran several times and couldn't get the point. Liu Peng's own identity was also half-desolate. Under normal circumstances, he could not lead so many people.
Therefore, Liu Peng quickly avoided this key question: "Brothers, our team is related to the survival of our Huang County. Do you know if Hengwang Mansion is going to send horses to our Huang County this time?"
Zhou Duda is now a public enemy in Huang County, so when Liu Peng spoke, he shouted: "I understand!"
"Just know!"
Liu Peng continued: "Why is Zhou Duda Zhou eunuch so arrogant? Isn't it because he is the envoy of the Heng Palace? And he is not on the list, he is purely a black household, but such an eunuch is rampant when he comes to our Huang County, and our team..."
Liu Peng slowly continued, "Tell you that we have the route of the Silijian, the route of the Dongchang and the Beizhen Fushi. Even the angels of the Imperial Horse Supervision care about our team."
This is purely Liu Peng's slamming, but everyone really believes in Liu Peng's style. It turns out that the team is a bit loose and crossed. After Liu Peng said this, the twelve men stood straight and straight, all of them were full of energy.
It’s really that the reputation of Silijian is so useful!
Since the Wanli period, there have been constant tax envoys in the local area, and the mining supervisors came to fight for the autumn wind. The famous Linqingzhou, because of a tax envoy, the people were living in poverty. Seven or eight out of ten stores in the city were closed. Business people were not as good as death, and finally caused riots in the merchants and civilians to beat the horse hall.
In such a big mess, the horse tax envoy was unscathed afterwards. He continued to scrape the slaughter in Linqingzhou, and was safe and sound. Whether it was the local governor, governor, censor, prefect, inspector, or heroes of the world, local tyrants, or even the arrogant vassal kings, there was no way to deal with these mining supervisors.
As for the recent example, Gao Huai, the Liaodong mining supervisor, even knocked bones and marrow in Liaodong. Most of the reason why Liaodong refugees kept crossing south to Denglai was that this mining supervisor was scraping the ground in Liaodong too much.
Therefore, when Liu Peng talked about his relationship with the palace and the capital, all of them were respectful and not ashamed, but were proud. Liu Peng was willing to continue fooling around: "The reason why our team was established and strengthened was to focus on the Silijian and serve the nobles in the palace and the capital, so that they could go to Huangxian and become home..."
The brothers below immediately didn't understand Liu Peng's ideas. Although Liu Peng said he wanted to serve all the nobles in the palace and the capital, the problem was that these mining supervisors and tax envoys came to blow the land to fight the autumn wind. No matter how powerful Liu's magical powers were, they could not survive if they offended the elders and villagers in Huang County.
Just when everyone was confused, Liu Peng smiled and said his thoughts: "We Dengzhou is a good place. Laiyang has gold, Fushan has beauties, Penglai has water city, gold and silver are everywhere, and Laizhou Prefecture is full of gold and silver. Unfortunately, the nobles in Beijing don't know where to dig gold and find silver. The mission of our team is to let the nobles in Beijing understand where the gold is!"
