Chapter 290

This small hall is the office of the Undertaking Bureau of the Laizhou Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division.

Laizhou Commander Division is a new yamen.Many soldiers didn't even know where the main gate of the yamen opened, but Zhao Bin was really familiar with it. He walked around like he had acquaintances everywhere.

At this moment, Wang Erbai held up his bleeding finger and asked, "Can I press it?"

Several officers laughed at him, and some said to Zhao Bin: "Old Zhao, is the Alixi you are looking for reliable?"

Zhao Bin laughed a few times, then turned to Wang Erbai and shouted: "Change your finger and press it with cinnabar!"

Wang Erbai did so honestly, and then took a brush to draw a few more bets.

When the two came out one after the other, a few more officers gathered around, and someone asked haha, "Boy, did you break your finger?"

Wang Erbai raised his finger to show others that it was not broken, and then his arm was knocked off by Zhao Bin.

"Since you have become my Arixi, you have to listen to me! Don't pay attention to them! After I go back, you have to practice swords and guns, marching, and formation. This meal is not so easy to eat!"

Wang Erbai nodded.He has a real temperament, but he is not stupid. He knew in the fishing village that if the officials above say good things, they can only believe [-]% of them out of ten.

Sure enough, as soon as I got my thumbprint, I will suffer a lot.

"I can use a knife and a stick," he said.

"Oh? When you get back, please show me."

"When we went fishing in the past, we often encountered pirates and smugglers, all of whom killed without blinking an eye. You have to know knives and sticks to earn your life."

Zhao Bin was silent for a while, then nodded: "It's all the same."

"What did the captain say?"

"When I was in Changzhou, I often ran into horse thieves when I was out of the city, and they were the kind who would kill without blinking an eye. Once I slashed four or five times with the horse thief, only to find out that the thief was my colleague. If he goes down, he will secretly become a thief... In this world, who is not trying to save his life?"

Wang Erbai nodded, walked a few steps and asked, "Captain, what happened to that horse thief?"

Zhao Bin pointed to his own nose: "Look at me, am I alive?"

With a serious expression on his face, Wang Erbai reached out to check Zhao Bin's breath, and then his arm was knocked off by Zhao Bin again.

"Since I'm alive, the horse thief is already dead! It's a matter of life and death, how can there be any hesitation? With a single strike, either you die or the enemy dies!"

This is justified.Wang Erbai also often listened to the old soldiers of the prison city army.

He followed Zhao Bin and continued to walk out.

And Zhao Bin nodded to several colleagues who passed by, and continued to babble: "Oh, yes, the military government will grant you land... I said, don't pick it, you know that I am in the area south of Yifeng Town Where? By the river ditch?"

"I know."

"The terrain of that land is a bit high, and it is dry land, but it is very close to the water. After a while, I will find a way to get a water truck and dig a trench, which can easily irrigate hundreds of acres of fields. My own fields, as well as those of my shady households, can be used. If you think it’s okay, you can choose the land next to my house. Just one water truck is enough, and it can take care of it!”

Wang Erbai had worked in Yifeng Town for more than ten days, so he was familiar with the surrounding terrain and knew that the situation was exactly as Zhao Bin said.That would be nice.

Can you believe [-]% of the good words from this official's mouth?

Wang Erbai nodded and said, "Good!"

Zhao Bin immediately became much happier. He patted Wang Erbai on the shoulder and continued: "You will also have shade households. However, our soldiers in the fort are second-class. The ration of households has to be ranked behind the first-class elite soldiers. Therefore, there is no rush."

He looked at Wang Erbai's expression: "I said, there is an urgent matter in front of us, and we really need to take care of it."

"Sir, tell me."

"Call the captain!"

"Well, the team is what you said."

"To the south of your land is a sloping field. You don't need to worry about the watchtower on the top of the slope. The sloping field itself has only grass, which is just right for sheep. If you like, you can build a sheep pen over there. Let me tell you , Sheep are also very precious, you have to find a place with dry and sunny terrain, ventilation and warmth. By the way, there are also fences. But the fence is easy to handle, I will draw a picture later, let's build the sheepfold first?"

It turned out that it was for raising sheep, and it turned out that I fell in love with my craftsmanship of rammed earth and slab construction.

...not a big problem.

This official, oh no, Duizheng treated me very well before, and he even gave me a new bedding.He is a good man, and it is nothing to build a sheepfold for him.

Wang Erbai nodded heavily: "I have never raised sheep, but the sheepfold can be repaired."

"Good! Good!" Zhao Bin patted Wang Erbai's shoulder heavily: "We want to build a big one, the one that can raise a hundred or two hundred sheep!"

"I'll do what the team says."

"Hahaha, boy, let's go back! When the sheepfold is ready, I'll get two lambs. Next year and the next year, we will have a flock of sheep. Everyone will eat mutton during festivals! Hahaha!"

Zhao Bin smiled triumphantly, and led Wang Erbai outside.

After taking two steps, he sighed again: "Unfortunately, I haven't figured out where the sheep come from."

At this moment, more than ten guards rushed in from outside the yamen.

Zhao Bin hurriedly retreated to the edge of the courtyard with Wang Erbai, and then saw a tall, black and thin middle-aged man with his robes lifted, and quickly walked out from the main hall.

Zhao Bin said in a low voice, "The person who went out to greet him was Shi Poli, commander of the capital of Laizhou! Most likely a big man came, maybe it was my family..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice laughing: "It is estimated that Brother Shi's busiest time has passed. I went out today and happened to pass by the door. I wanted to come in and have a look. Brother Shi, if you have any difficulties with these trivial matters, you can go there at any time." Look for Brother An Min, don't give him face, don't let him idle, haha."

"Don't dare." The tall and thin middle-aged man bowed slightly, and then stepped aside: "Jie Shuai, please."

"Brother Shi, please." A young man in a light robe with a golden knife hanging from his waist came in from outside the door.

Previously, with the rise of Yang An'er, the mountains and rivers in various parts of Shandong changed color instantly. In response to the call of Dinghai, the number of soldiers and civilians who moved to the three states of Deng, Lai, and Ninghai was huge, so the number of soldiers in Dinghai was quickly replenished.

However, Guo Ning did not intend to imitate the imperial army at all, and frequently used 20 to [-] armed beggars to go into battle.He has been suppressing the generals' idea of ​​continuing to expand the army, but continuing to select the best from the best to ensure the combat effectiveness of the elite troops.

By the end of February, Guo Ning had established three commanding divisions in Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Ninghai Prefecture, integrating the original town defense army, prison city army, and even some more cooperative Menganmouke troops in the three states. To be responsible for the defense of the place.

The three commanders and envoys have a subordinate force of about [-] troops, and they are also equipped with corresponding shade households and farmland.If they go to the battlefield, they are mainly used as the wings of elite troops.

All three are commanders, Laizhou is concurrently held by Jing Anmin, Ninghai Prefecture is served by Hao Duan, and Dengzhou is served by Mabao.Guo Ning also appointed Zhang Xin and Liu Cheng as the prime ministers of Hao Duan and Ma Bao.The Jing'an people's army is indeed not as capable as Guo Ning's defeated army in Hebei, and it is only natural that they are gradually retreating to the second line at this time.

The army that Guo Ning really used to fight tough battles was still under the direct command of Dinghai Jiedushi, and its size increased slightly to just over [-].The main generals are still Luo Heshang, Li Ting, Wang Shixian, Han Xuan, Qiu Huiluo, and Guo Zhongyuan, but each department has been enriched by local heroes such as Yan Ning, Gao Xin, and Zhang Rong, and their combat effectiveness will only become stronger.

On the Laizhou Commander's side, it wasn't long before the new building, so things were naturally hectic.All kinds of practical affairs, such as the selection of personnel, the circulation of military registration, the application for distribution and maintenance of ordnance, and the storage and allocation of food, fodder and supplies, all fall in this yamen.

Due to the busy affairs of Jing'an Minmin, the nominal official, many official duties are taken care of by the new deputy commander of the capital, Shi Poli.

Shi Poli is a big man in Ninghai Prefecture who was once borrowed by Yang An'er, and his status is similar to Xu Ruxian's.But he is not a rich and powerful man like Xu Ruxian, but a man who has worked hard and led the local people through the famine.In terms of style, it doesn't look like Yang An'er, but looks like the second ancestor Liu who lived in the mountains for a long time.

After Guo Ning convinced Yang An'er, he also took Ninghai Prefecture.Shi Puli was also smart, he sent one of his sons to Laizhou to check the direction of the wind, and seeing that the military mansion gradually took root and had the momentum to stand firm, he also left the village guarded by his family and went to Laizhou.

On the one hand, Guo Ning respected the leader of the poor people, but on the other hand, he could not let him stay in the place.So he was simply given a decent official position and asked him to stay in Laizhou and become the commander of the deputy capital of Laizhou.

Shi Poli naturally understood what Guo Ning meant, and felt that Guo Ning's treatment was good.

His nominal boss, Jing Anmin, was a big man in Zhuozhou back then, and Shi Poli was able to chat quite well.So these days, generally speaking, Spurley is very satisfied with his appointment. Although it is far from being loyal to Guo Ning, at least he accepts his sincerity.

Of course Zhao Bin didn't know the twists and turns, he just stared at Guo Ning who was walking slowly in the courtyard, his face flushed.

"Kid, take care, this is our Jieshuai! That day Guo Jieshuai fought Hu Shahu at the Donghua Gate in the central capital..." Zhao Bin lowered his voice.

"sheep."

"what?"

Wang Erbai felt that since his family became Zhao Bin's Alixi, he should make plans for Zhao Bin, so he raised his finger to Guo Ning, and said seriously: "He is handsome, he must be rich. Don't we have no sheep? You can ask him for two sheep, well, maybe four is fine."

Zhao Bin stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Erbai's arm off: "What are you thinking about!"

The yelling was a little louder.

Guo Ning glanced in this direction and laughed: "Isn't this Zhao Bin?"
