Yan Buji said calmly: "Brother Minhe, my skills are not bad, right?"

Jia Zhen nodded: "It is indeed amazing. Since Brother Yan is like this, please come to the county government."

"No problem."

Yan Buji left the military camp. Now the local military power is not separated from the government, so the county magistrate of Hushan County is nominally the commander of the army.

However, this bureaucratic system has a big problem. For example, when rebels rise up in various parts of the world, there are always officials of the court among them.

Arriving at the county government office, Yan Buji and his younger brother saw the middle-aged man in the court, knelt down directly, and said: "I am Yan Wang, I greet you, sir!"

"I am Liu Shan, Wang Er, and Zhang Ming, I greet you, sir!"

The three younger brothers followed Yan Buji and reported their identities, and Jia Xiu nodded:

"Get up. I heard that you defeated Zhang Baifu head-on in the military camp, and you are indeed a fierce general! Yan Wang, are you willing to join the army?"

"I am willing!"

"Okay! My Hushan City has suffered from bandits outside the city for a long time. Yan Wang, I will give you power. As long as you can recruit a hundred soldiers to eliminate the bandits within three months, you will be the new centurion of my Hushan City!" Jia Xiu smiled.

The three younger brothers stared at Yan Buji with their eyes wide open.

Big brother, you are going to take off now, right? !

Then at least we can get a small official position of sergeant or sergeant?

Yan Buji frowned: "Then may I ask about the food and wages for recruiting soldiers?"

"Well, you also know that there is not much silver in Hushan City. Recently, the warehouse is empty due to disaster relief, and the bandits are making trouble. I really can't give much." Jia Xiu shook his head helplessly.

Free, right?

Yan Buji laughed: "Okay, since the lord values ​​me so much, I will definitely live up to the lord's trust!"

"Then do you have any other requests?"

"I just want to ask the lord, am I a member of the military camp now, do I have an identity certificate?" Yan Buji asked.

Jia Xiu raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Buji: "Of course, you can be considered a member of my Hushan City army now, but the title still needs to be reported to the governor and can only be determined after receiving a response. So if you have the merit of eliminating the bandits, I can also talk about it."

"That's enough. Then sir, I will withdraw now and start preparing."

"Go."

"Yes, sir."

Yan Buji left with his younger brother, and Jia Zhen stood aside and looked at Jia Xiu: "Father, at least give him some weapons and equipment. Do you want him to solve the Hushan bandits with his bare hands?"

Jia Xiu laughed: "Let's see what he does first."

Jia Zhen looked at his cheap father who looked like he was sure of victory, and he was also a little surprised.

Does he think that Yan Wang is a simple-minded person?

Jia Zhen can feel that Yan Wang may have recovered his monk memory, so how should he recruit soldiers next?

Recruiting soldiers requires a written order from the county government, but more importantly, food and salary.

Without money and food, do we have to conscript men?

After leaving the county government, Yan Buji walked on the street and looked around.

"Brother, how can we recruit soldiers?"

"Yes, I can see that the official is not a good person. He doesn't give us anything and lets us recruit soldiers by ourselves?"

"If you ask me, brother, we might as well join the bandits to avoid being bullied by them!"

Yan Buji looked at the traitor Liu Shan who was speaking with sharp eyes.

This kid...

"What are you talking about?! After all, we are also government officials, serving the court! It's better than being a bandit, right?"

Liu Shan patted his chest: "Brother, we have been together for so many years, will he still harm you? Besides, Jia Zhen knows our strength, isn't he afraid of chilling our hearts?!"

"Brother, we can't become bandits, things haven't developed to that point yet."

Yan Buji laughed: "Don't worry, I have a way to raise food and money, of course, I need the help of the three brothers!"

"Ah?"

The three younger brothers were stunned, not understanding what Yan Buji meant.

Where to raise food and money?

Yan Buji directly asked people in the county and selected a few targets.

"Come on, brothers, let's go to Mr. Li's house to see what's going on!"

Yan Buji led three confused brothers to the door of Mr. Li's house in big strides. When the gatekeeper saw several people coming forward, he immediately stretched out his hand to stop them:

"Who are you? What are you doing in Mr. Li's house?!"

Papa!

Yan Buji slapped them twice. The two servants were stunned for a moment, covering their faces and about to get angry, but seeing Yan Buji's calm face, they hesitated again.

Liu Shan, who was standing aside, seemed to understand what Yan Buji meant, and immediately stood up and said:

"You are blind, this is the new centurion of the Hushan City Army, Lord Yan!"

Huh?

The two servants covered their faces and looked at each other, and said with a bow: "It's my fault that I am shortsighted. Why is Lord Yan here today?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not here to find you, let me see your master!"

"Yes, sir, wait a moment."

The two servants hurried in to report.

This Li Fang is not a nobody. I heard that his third daughter married the governor as a concubine, so he is considered a big shot in the vicinity of Hushan City. Even the county magistrate Jia Xiu would not make things too difficult for his family.

When Li Fang heard about the new centurion, he was stunned: "When did the Hushan City army change a centurion? What is this person doing here?"

"Master, I don't know. Could it be that they are deliberately deceiving us?"

Li Fang frowned and whispered, "You go to the county government office to ask first, I will receive you first."

"Yes, Master!"

These days, there are many people who are so bold as to pretend to be an official of the court to cheat and deceive people, but since the other party has come to the door, we have to see what he wants to do.

Li Fang went out in person, walked to the front door with a smile on his face, and bowed his hands and said, "I am Li Fang, an old man, and I meet Lord Yan."

Although Li Fang has connections, he will never do anything to bully others. These days, there is no such thing as the code of conduct in the underworld. If he really offends a vicious bandit one day, he will come and cut his neck with a knife in the middle of the night, and he will be finished.

So Li Fang also knows that when he contacts reasonable people, as long as the other party is not too much, he can agree to some small things, just as spending money to avoid disaster.

But if you are really a person of status and position who wants to ask for money, then the relationship with the prefect is not fake!

Yan Buji looked at Li Fang and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, why don't you invite me in to sit down? I have a big business that I want to discuss with Mr. Li."

Huh?

Li Fang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Yan Buji's clothes. Is there any difference between him and a country bumpkin?

But this man said such words as soon as he opened his mouth, which made people hard to believe, but at the same time, they wanted to hear what he could say.
