Chapter 71 Simber

Even so, if there is still a bite of food, the people are unwilling to join the army, let alone the young and strong men in the family.

The recruitment fee reported by Lu Heying was eight taels per person, but Wei Bao was a strong man and even robbed people on the road.

This time he also robbed people, but one of the people who walked with him ran away. When he returned to the village, he said that the village was already very brave. Hundreds of villagers came to the door with sickles and axes to ask for people, and then they started fighting.

A list of soldiers recruited by Luhe Camp was attached to the back of the memorial. Qi Wei looked at the last number and found that there were 1,562 people.

If the amount of 8 taels of silver per person is more than 10,000 taels. If these people were all recruited by force, it means that all the more than 10,000 taels fell into the hands of the chief of Luhe Camp.

This is the military expenses that the court finally managed to collect!

"Wei Bao, Wei Bao..."

Luheying is a Qianhuying, which was established this year and belongs to the Jingji Guard. The current Qianhu name is Zuo Shangwen. He was born in the Zuo family in Xinyang. Emperor Gaozong came from the Zuo family. The Zuo Hou died early and had no place at all. The current Empress Dowager Du is the successor to Emperor Gaozong.

After that, the Zuo family did not send their daughter to the palace. The Empress Dowager was very generous to the Zuo family. Although the male member of the Zuo family had no achievements, he lived a stable life with the post given by Emperor Gaozong, and he deserved a lot of benefits. Just like the location of a thousand households in Luheying, it was recognized as a good person. It was said that there were several families fighting, but in the end it was decided by the Empress Dowager himself.

Thinking of this, Qi Wei's brows tightened: "Fusheng!"

Fusheng was sitting outside the study and eating broad beans facing the moon, and heard this and ran in.

"Did Wei Ming's immediate relatives become officials?"

Wei Ming was the most capable eunuch in front of the Empress Dowager, and he was the first eunuch.

Qi Wei remembered Wei Ming had several godsons, and now two of them were Wei Ming's godsons on the front line.

"Before the Empress Wei entered the palace, he was an orphan, and he had only one younger brother who depended on each other. His younger brother died early and left a nephew named Wei Bao. When the late emperor ascended the throne, he gave the Wei family a favor. Last year, the new emperor ascended the throne and gave the Wei family another favor. Wei Bao is now a hundred households in Luhe Camp. I think he will be transferred to the capital after a year or two."

Qi Wei nodded, and it turned out that Wei Bao was Wei Ming's nephew.

Qi Wei looked at the signature of the memorial again, Ning Hua, the magistrate of Luhe County.

Qi Wei didn't know Ning Hua, and had never heard of this name before, but now it seems that he is a bit courageous at this time.

The parents and officials from all over the country have always pretended to be mute about the local garrison. Even if there are ***sings of the people, they pretend not to know.

Qi Wei read this memorable re-read. Ning Hua's wording was extremely rigorous, only telling the cause and number of casualties of the local people fighting with soldiers led by Wei Bao for the forced recruitment. Almost every charge has evidence.

Qi Wei thought about it, put the other notes aside, and only put this one alone, and said to Fusheng: "I will go to Luheying tomorrow. You go and notify Xu Jiangsheng and Fan Mao and let them go with me."

"I'll go with you? I have nothing to do if I stay in the capital." Fusheng said.

"Didn't you say that day is the day when the Yan family returns money? It's time to do things. You have to do it. You have to end the case." Qi comforted and smiled slightly, "You have eaten so many snacks, but it's not for nothing."

Fusheng's mouth was still filled with the fragrance of fried broad beans. He subconsciously covered his mouth, and hmmed, then ran out to find Xu Jiangsheng and Fan Mao.

Early the next morning, the shop door had just opened, and Manager Hu came to Li Shiji. He didn't come by himself, but brought someone.

Yan Xuehuai didn't expect that Manager Hu was so fast. She asked Manager Hu for help yesterday and brought the person today.

But this person was a little beyond Yan Xuehuai's expectations.

"This is Bo Xin. Don't think that he is old and has a tough body. He has been a hospital guard before, and three or five gangsters are not his opponents."

Xin Bo's name is Xin Xiang, who is fifty-four or five years old. He was injured while working in a hospital guard and was disabled. He walked a little lame.

Yan Xuehuai noticed that his hands were covered with calluses and veins bulged.

Alas, she also wants to hire a young young man.

Li Qiniang was very satisfied with Bo Xin. She just wanted to hire someone older, so she was safe and had fewer gossips.

"Xin Bo is the uncle of Xiaowuzi, a native of Pingcheng. Now Ye Luo has returned to his roots. I originally wanted to ask him to come to my place to help. It just so happened that you need it here, and I think it is more suitable than going to my place."

Li Qiniang asked Xin Bo: "You come to my shop to do things and need to live here. Do your family agree?"

Xin Bo said lightly: "There are only girls and they agree."

Since he is Xiaowuzi's uncle, the girl Xin Bo mentioned seems to be Xiaowuzi's mother.

In fact, Li Qiniang wanted to ask Mr. Xin's wife and children, but when she heard this tone, she either had no wife and children, or she was no longer alive.

Li Qiniang didn't ask and said to Xin Bo: "I'm a small business here. Your salary is the same as Ying'er. For the time being, it's one tael of silver per month. When the business is good in the future, we can increase it if we can. We can keep food and accommodation, and wear clothes a year. Do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, OK."

Uncle Xin was obviously not a talkative person, and Li Qiniang was even more satisfied. She immediately said that Uncle Xin could come to work at any time.

Manager Hu knew that Li Shiji was in urgent need of staff, so he said to Bo Xin: "You go back and pack up, why don't you come here tonight."

Xin Bo nodded and stopped talking.

Manager Hu also said goodbye. The buns happened to be out of the pot in the shop. Yan Xuehuai filled more than a dozen big buns and asked Manager Hu to take them back to the inn to eat.

Manager Hu was not polite, and took the bun and left with Bo Xin.

Yan Xuehuai sent them out and happened to see the people from Wuchengsi coming.

She quickly greeted her with a smile and prepared to say hello, but found that the person who led the team today was not the deputy envoy Cheng who was responsible for this area, but also an acquaintance.

"General Hao?" Yan Xuehuai looked at Hao Chong, then looked at the people following him.

That’s right, Hao Chong is right in front of him. Those who are wearing Wuchengsi costumes are really people from Wuchengsi.

Yan Xuehuai felt that Fusheng was really nice. Not only did he say hello to Wuchengsi, they asked them to come here to take a look more, but they also invited Hao Chong to lead the team himself.

Although she didn't know how old General Dingyuan was, Hao Chong must have a high position to follow Duke Dingguo to enter and exit the Governor's Office of the Five Army.

Her mother just gave Fusheng a pack of fried broad beans, and Fusheng moved General Hao over?
