After thinking for a moment, Wei Fufeng suddenly thought of a workaround, which was to ask his uncle to preside over the wedding.

The fifth uncle and some generals can support themselves and they can get married in a grand ceremony, and other relatives will not be able to criticize them in the future.

With the solution, Wei Fufeng was in a better mood. He put his right hand under Xiaoxue's clothes, caressed the snowy jade body, lowered his head and kissed the little beauty's hair, cheeks, and lips passionately.

...

The next morning, Han Rui came to see him with fourteen skilled craftsmen.

Wei Fufeng received him in the main hall. Fourteen middle-aged men wearing shabby clothes walked in as if they were walking on thin ice, and they all knelt down and called him sir.

Wei Fufeng ordered to watch the seats, and the guards brought over stools for the craftsmen to sit on two sides.

Lieutenant Zuo Han Rui could only stand at the hall door, but the people sitting down were obviously uncomfortable.

Wei Fufeng took the initiative to communicate with the craftsmen in a friendly manner. After a brief understanding, he looked at a carpenter and asked: "Cao San, can you build a waterwheel?"

Cao San hurriedly said respectfully: "Sir, the younger one can build a waterwheel."

"Our army wants to build a dam on the Han River. During the construction of the dam, it will build many huge water trucks to collect water for irrigation. Can you do it?" Wei Fufeng asked gently.

Cao San hesitated and quickly answered: "A small one can be made into a huge waterwheel, but it requires the cooperation of big trees in the mountains and building a stone dam."

"Okay, building a waterwheel will greatly benefit the fields on both sides of the Han River. If you can leave your name on the inscription, our army will now give you the position of supervisory officer, starting from the ninth rank, and you will receive a salary in the future. If you really build a practical waterwheel, I will

The army will let your official position be passed down from generation to generation." Wei Fufeng promised.

Cao San was startled, then stood up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Thank you for your gift, sir."

Wei Fufeng nodded, asked Cao Sangui to sit down, and then looked at Li Ergou who was baking bricks, and said: "I said before that I dreamed of Xuanwu in the mountains and wanted to build a Taoist temple to fulfill my wish. You are responsible for burning the bricks, and I will also give you.

Since you are a supervisor, how about changing your name to Li Wu?"

"Thank you for your gift, sir. Thank you for your gift." Li Wu knelt down and thanked him.

After Li Wu got up and returned to his seat, Wei Fufeng said again: "If you all work hard and succeed in the future, our army will give you official positions, and your remuneration will not be reduced for now."

"Thank you, sir." All the craftsmen knelt down in response.

After the craftsmen went out, Wei Fufeng gave Han Rui some instructions, and ordered Han Rui to arrange for the villagers and the regiment to carry two bricks up the mountain in batches, and then cut down big trees on the mountain to transport them back.

Anyone who is willing to carry bricks up the mountain is called a journey to worship the gods. One piece of blessing money will be given with the bricks at a time, and no escort is required. The folk husband and the group training are mandatory once a month. There is no limit to those who are willing to go up the mountain multiple times, and they will still be given two bricks.

A copper coin.

In addition, Wei Fufeng asked Han Rui to tell the logging team that they were transporting wood down the mountain to build water trucks and build water tanks to transport it far away to irrigate their fields. Han Rui respectfully agreed.

Wei Fufeng was satisfied with Han Rui's work and said with a smile: "If our army can stand for a long time, at least you will be able to obtain a hereditary military position in the future, and you will have long-lasting wealth."

"My Lord is here to benefit the people, and my subordinates should serve." Han Rui replied respectfully, feeling very happy in his heart. He knew that military positions in southern Sichuan could be hereditary.

Wei Fufeng smiled and asked Han Rui to leave for work. He went to see his uncle, told him about the construction, and asked him to marry him.

The eldest uncle expressed his support for the construction and agreed to officiate the wedding.

The next thing is to go see Uncle Wu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Father, I was just waiting for Lin Qingxue to come back to Yancen City, but something suddenly happened in the afternoon, which disrupted Wei Fufeng's arrangements.

Han Rui came to see Wei Fufeng with a messenger. The messenger came from Fangzhou and was sent by Zuo Duwei Wang Lin. He came to Yancen City to find the Jincheng military envoy.

Wei Liang, the Jincheng Army envoy, was away. After Han Rui learned about the situation, he brought people to see Wei Fufeng.

After hearing the oral report from the messenger, Wei Fufeng's face immediately turned gloomy and angry. It turned out that his eighth uncle Wei Kang, who had arrived in Fangzhou to serve as governor, actually changed the distribution of military pay without authorization and enriched his own pockets.

Wei Kang's approach was to withhold 40% of the military pay of ordinary soldiers, and then pay more to generals according to their military positions. He was greedy for a personal gain.

Wang Lin, the commander-in-chief of the Left Command, had received excessive military pay, but Wang Lin was afraid that the adults in Jinzhou would pursue him, because when he left Jinzhou, the adults said cruel words about killing people.

Wei Fufeng was furious and cursed Wei Kang for being extremely stupid.

Both Fangzhou and Junzhou were newly acquired, and they were in great need of fair and equitable reassurance of military strength. The greedy soldiers who had not yet established a firm foothold were willing to pay for their greedy soldiers.

This is an extremely serious mistake. If it is not done well, ambitious people will incite the surrender of troops and mutiny.

Wei Fufeng hurriedly went to see his uncle and explained the seriousness of the matter.

Wei Xun was also surprised and surprised when he heard this. He believed that the mutiny that Wei Fufeng said was possible because there were many precedents for mutiny by soldiers. The most unforgettable one for the people of Chang'an was the 'Jingyuan Mutiny'.

The Jingyuan Mutiny occurred during the Dezong period of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, Li Xilie in Huaixi rebelled, and the imperial court mobilized 5,000 Jingyuan soldiers stationed in the north of the Wei River to fight against the rebellion.

The Jingyuan soldiers passed through Chang'an, expecting to get good food and rewards, but they didn't expect that the court would only give them brown rice and no rewards.

So the Jingyuan soldiers rebelled under the instigation of ambitious people, captured Chang'an City and caused great harm.

Tang Dezong fled in fear. Although the Jingyuan soldiers were later suppressed, they left Chang'an an unforgettable nightmare.

After explaining to his eldest uncle and sending a letter to his fifth uncle, Wei Fufeng hurriedly set off with a hundred guards. It got dark during the journey and stationed at the mouth of the Han River where it blocked the river.

Early the next morning, we went south along the Duhe River, entered Zhushan County in the afternoon, turned east, rested when it got dark on the way, and continued eastward the next day, arriving at Fangling County at noon.

Outside the west city gate, Wei Fufeng asked Wang Lin to come and see him, and the defenders rushed to report.

Wang Lin came to the west city gate and looked downstairs. He recognized the military envoy and quickly ordered the city gate to be opened to let people pass through.

When Wei Fufeng and his subordinates entered Fangling County, they were greeted respectfully by Captain Wang Lin of the Left Command at the gate. However, he felt uneasy in his heart and asked someone to report to the Jincheng military envoy why this military envoy was here.

Wei Fufeng knew Wang Lin, and Wang Lin also led the regiment to fight on the tower.

After seeing the ceremony, Wei Fufeng said gently: "Uncle Five is not in Yancen City. Han Rui asked the messenger to see our army."

Wang Lin suddenly nodded, and Wei Fufeng said again: "You did a good job, otherwise you would have been killed as a scapegoat if you had not died in Fangzhou."

Wang Lin looked solemn. He was afraid of becoming a scapegoat. The Lord of Jinzhou could not kill his son, but he could use him as an atonement. He then said respectfully: "Come here, my lord, the military envoy, so that my subordinates can feel at ease."

"You respect our military envoy, do you know what my official position is?" Wei Fufeng asked.

Wang Lin was slightly startled and said, "I don't know."

"My army is the military envoy of Southern Sichuan, and I am the envoy of Fufeng, one of the Shence Army." Wei Fufeng said.

"You are Jiedu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Sir?" Wang Lin said in surprise, the official position of Jiedushi is a symbol of noble authority in the hearts of ordinary people, and it holds the power of life and death.

"The military governor of southern Sichuan also serves as the military governor of central Guizhou. Our army owns the southern Sichuan region of Yuzhou, Luzhou, Changzhou and Rongzhou in the upper reaches of the river, and also takes over Qianzhou, Fuzhou and Nanzhou on the central Guizhou Road.

Qinzhou has hundreds of thousands of people under its rule and a force of 140,000." Wei Fufeng introduced himself, he needed Wang Lin to obey his orders.

Wang Lin nodded in shock, and Wei Fufeng added: "You should know how powerful our army's grandfather is. Our army transferred troops from southern Sichuan to capture Jinzhou. It was also our army that transferred a large amount of food and troops from southern Sichuan to support Jinzhou.

Most of the guards, as well as the capture of Junzhou, as well as the weapons and equipment of the Jincheng Army of the fifth uncle, were given by our army."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "I understand."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "You just understand. Our army came here day and night because we were worried that a mutiny would occur. Unfair supplies can easily lead to mutiny. Many similar things have happened before."

Wang Lin nodded and said, "My subordinates are also worried."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said: "You must keep your official position in this army secret and don't tell anyone."

Wang Lin was slightly startled and quickly nodded in agreement.

Wei Fufeng further explained: "Jinzhou is not easy to defend here. Keeping the secrets of the Southern Sichuan Army can defeat the invading enemy by surprise. For example, if the Zhongyi Army sends 20,000 troops to attack Fangzhou, our army can transport 30,000 troops through the river."

Wang Lin nodded in understanding, and Wei Fufeng said coldly: "My eighth uncle is too stupid to stay in Fangzhou as governor. I will send my eighth uncle to Jinzhou and ask my grandfather to choose another capable person."

Wang Lin said respectfully and knowingly: "I will only obey your orders."

Wei Fufeng nodded and said, "Let's go."

...

Wang Lin led the way, and Wei Fufeng and his entourage arrived at the state government office, broke in directly from the gate, and met their eighth uncle Wei Kang in the second hall.

Wei Fufeng only met his eighth uncle during ancestor worship, and his impression was that he was a kind-faced figure. He had never spoken to his eighth uncle, and it could be said that he had no qualifications, which made his eighth uncle pay attention to his existence.

Facing the intrusion of many soldiers, Wei Kang, who was wearing a red official robe and an elegant face, changed his face. He stood up and backed away in shock, but soon saw Wang Lin. He raised his hand and trembled his fingers, and said in horror: "Wang Lin,

you?"

"Sir, this is the Fufeng Army Envoy." Wang Lin responded respectfully.

Wei Kang turned to look at Wei Fufeng, who was wearing thin scale armor. Wei Fufeng said calmly: "My nephew, Wei Fufeng, has met my eighth uncle."

"Wei Fufeng? You are that brother's son, why did you break in?" Wei Kang asked in panic, but he didn't know that Wei Fufeng was the descendant of that brother.

Wei Fufeng became more and more disgusted after hearing this. He originally wanted to say a few words of respect, but he was too lazy to say anything in disgust and said coldly: "Eighth Uncle deducted military pay without authorization and violated military regulations. Please go to Jinzhou to plead guilty."

"What are you talking nonsense about? Where are you from?" Wei Kang immediately said angrily, and then shouted to Wang Lin: "Captain Wang, I ordered you to drive them out."

Wang Lin bowed his head and fell silent. Wei Fufeng said coldly: "You are not the governor here, please go to Jinzhou."

"You are so outrageous, I am the governor of Fangzhou." Wei Kang said angrily, feeling very courageous for a moment.

"Come here, take Master Wei to Jinzhou and hand him over to my grandfather." Wei Fufeng ignored the show of force and turned his head slightly to order calmly.

The soldier responded to the order, grabbed Wei Kang before leaving, took off his official clothes and placed them on a chair.
