Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Regarding martial arts training.

Yang Ge is becoming more and more enthusiastic.

This may be because he is indeed very talented in martial arts training, and he even has the sense to see the progress bar of martial arts training.

Perhaps it was because Wei's entertainment options were so meager that he couldn't seem to find any other way to spend his time besides practicing martial arts.

Or maybe it's because of the living environment he's living in now that he really needs this skill to protect himself and make a living.

Or maybe it's because his martial arts is becoming more and more sophisticated and he has begun to appreciate the true charm of martial arts.

In short, martial arts training is gradually defeating the "renovation of small courtyards" and becoming his biggest hobby in Wei Dynasty.

It is worth mentioning that……

Ever since he found out that the monthly salary of Chief Xiu Yiwei was eighty taels of silver, he had been planning to rent out the uninhabited shabby yard behind the house, open up a small vegetable garden, and raise some chickens and ducks. How could he even make sketches? Everything has been painted, just waiting for the embroidery guard to get paid.

…

the next few days.

Yang Ge stayed in the small courtyard without leaving home, concentrating on improving his martial arts.

Enhance inner strength.

Exercise your muscles and bones.

Polish your legs.

Correct the force.

He spent a lot of time studying and detailing every aspect.

His legwork, which was a bit messy and sloppy before, gradually became crisp, smooth, and increasingly powerful as he polished it with all his heart.

Occasionally when he got really tired or bored from practicing, he would pull out the sketch of the vegetable garden and continue to delete, delete, and modify it.

Where should the chicken coop be erected so that it can be ventilated and shaded without affecting the life of the children in the front yard?

What kind of vegetables should be planted in the vegetable field to ensure that there are fresh vegetables to eat in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn.

Where does the water source come from, and where does the drainage go...

He lived a boring life with great relish.

During this period, guests came to the courtyard every day.

Wang Dali came once.

He complained to him that the price of food in the market had increased again, that there were suddenly fewer boats sailing on the Bianhe River, that the government had begun to increase taxes, and so on. He said that their family could hardly afford to eat, and the inn was not open, and his father suddenly I look at him unfavorably every day...

In the end, they blackmailed them as usual and left with satisfaction.

Dahuang was so angry that he crossed his legs and scolded him at the courtyard gate for a full quarter of an hour... Those two braised buns were originally his food rations.

This guy has been caring about his family since he was a child and is also petty.

If someone brings something to the yard, it will grin with enthusiasm and its tail will almost shake the windmill!

But if someone takes something from the yard, it will rush to bite it if Yang Ge doesn't stop it. If Yang Ge tries to stop it, it will stand in front of the yard gate and scold him!

And the second time you come back, it will remember that you took something from the yard, and scolded you before you even entered the door...

Liu Mang came once.

This guy came in with a very unconvincing panda eye, but he patted his chest and vowed that he was about to defeat the old man. If the old man came to discuss with him at this juncture, he must support him in opening a martial arts school. The idea is that as long as they pass this level, their majestic days of punching Nanshan Nursing Home and kicking Beihai Kindergarten are just around the corner!

But Yang Ge seems... hanging!

Yuelai Inn is the lifeblood of the old shopkeeper. It has been almost a month since the inn was renovated. The old shopkeeper has not even mentioned the opening of the inn. He has made it clear that he wants to win over Liu Mang, a prodigal, and make him give up the prospect of opening a martial arts school. Without a bright career, he will inherit their old Liu family's family business in a down-to-earth manner, and become an innkeeper who has no worries about food and drink.

Fortunately, Liu Mang was a prodigal, but he was not too rebellious. Otherwise, the old shopkeeper would not be able to beat this guy into panda eyes with his body that was panting even when he walked up the stairs.

Fang Ke came here twice.

The first time I came back, I sent Yang Ge a personnel list.

After carefully looking through everyone's resumes, Yang Ge selected four literate soldiers who had served as captains and commanders in the frontier army, and appointed them as "test flag officers", plus Fang Fang Ke, the official flag officer, each led a group of strong men to the Bianhe River to stretch fiber.

The second time he came back was to send the list of personnel added by Xiu Yiwei to Yang Ge.

After the second round of supplements, the general banner of Yang Ge is worthy of its name. Including himself, there are a total of fifty-one subordinates, and all of them are ruthless characters who have killed people and seen blood!

Yang Ge has long been mentally prepared for this, and of course he won't think anything of it.

But he didn't know that his situation was actually uncommon among Xiuyiwei.

Under normal circumstances, although the four-level middle and lower-level officials under Xiuyiwei, namely Xiaoqi, General Banner, Trial Baihu, and Baihu, all have military positions, most of the time, they do not command the army.

Instead, they each lead only a few close confidants. They are outside the duties of patrolling and arresting. Only when they need the support of a large number of people, they will apply for seals and temporarily deploy soldiers and horses to perform tasks. Once the tasks are completed, they will be returned immediately. Seal the letter and return the troops and horses.

It's a bit like the criminal police investigating the case and calling the military uniform to arrest the suspect.

But Shen Fa's task for Yang Ge's bannermen was to establish a hidden stake in Luting County, that is, to establish a "Luting County Intelligence Station." In the future, they will be stationed in Luting County and complete the embroidered clothing guards on the road by themselves. A complete set of tasks such as investigation, support, arrest, etc. in Ting County.

That's why Yang Ge was given all the manpower at once, instead of letting him take on the title of commander-in-chief and do the job of catching people!

This is of course a good thing!

Someone has the power and territory, and they don't need to break the law or accept bribes. They only need to be a little flexible in doing things and earn seven or eight big houses and seventeen or eight little beauties a year, just like playing.

As for whether it is a good thing for Yang Ge...

Only Yang Ge himself knows.

Of course, Shen Fa also wanted to know!

Three days after Fang Ke sent the complete directory, he sent something again.

There are quite a lot of things given away this time. The things carried on my back and carried in my hands made a "creep" sound when I walked.

Xiao Huang almost smiled crookedly when he saw him, and he greeted him with a playful smile on his airplane ears.

But this time Yang Ge didn't even let him in. He sat on the rocking chair under the grape trellis and raised his chin towards Fang Ke: "What is it? Open it and take a look!"

Fang Ke smiled shyly and said: "General Qi, when your subordinates come so far away, you can't just give them a bowl of water, right?"

Yang Ge's face was expressionless and his voice turned cold: "Open it!"

Fang Ke had no choice but to slowly put down the heavy cloth bag in his hand, first took off the box on his back, placed it on the ground and opened it carefully.

I saw a narrow-sleeved koi official coat with copper embroidery on a black background appearing in the sun. The koi jumped out of the waves, with wings growing on its back, lifelike, luxurious and majestic!

Under the official uniform, there is a copper-patterned ox-tail knife with a scabbard, a grid, and a large number of brass ornaments on the handle. It is different from the standard black-sheathed ox-tail knife of ordinary men. This knife The size of the copper-patterned oxtail knife is one size larger, and coupled with a large number of brass decorative parts, it looks luxurious and majestic!

Fang Kezan smiled and pointed to the official uniform and official sword and introduced it to Yang Ge: "Please take a look at the general flag. These are your uniforms and swords. They are engraved with the general flag's name and official position. If they are lost, Wei Zhong will trace them." …”

"Cut the nonsense!"

Yang Ge stared at the heavy baggage at his feet and raised his chin again: "Open it!"

"grown ups……"

Fang Ke looked around: "Let's go inside and talk!"

Yang Ge finally frowned: "You want me to do it myself?"

Fang Ke quickly clasped his hands and said, "I don't dare to do anything, Lord Labor."

He couldn't resist Yang Ge, so he could only look at Yang Ge repeatedly and slowly unpack the baggage.

In an instant, a flash of snowy light dazzled Yang Ge's eyes...

The baggage is full of silver ingots!

Ingot-like snowflake silver that is as big as an egg and of excellent color!

That one ingot is ten taels. This big package contains at least forty or fifty ingots!

The price of silver in the Wei Dynasty was stable, with one tael of silver worth more than 1,200 yuan.

According to Yang Ge's monthly salary of 150 cents when he worked as a waiter at Yuelai Inn.

For this bag of silver, he had to work at the Yuelai Inn for at least three hundred years without food or drink to save this money!

Yang Ge slowly narrowed his eyes and looked at Fang Ke with a half-smile: "Fang Xiaoqi, what do you mean?"

Fang Ke calmed down and said with a smile on his face: "Isn't this the first time that Wei Li has given out monthly gifts? The brothers are grateful for your life-saving grace and want to express your feelings to you, so they joined together...it's not much. , brothers are still feeling cold, I stopped you, that's all. From now on, we brothers will be a family behind closed doors, adults, please don't see us outside!"

In terms of qualifications, he is actually not afraid of Yang Ge, his immediate boss.

But I couldn’t resist the fact that Yang Ge was a popular figure in front of Lord Qianhu. How dare he not fawn over him?

Not to mention the distance, can ordinary people see the files in the Beizhen Fusi Case Library outside the capital?

"Yeah?"

Yang Ge was still smiling: "Did the brothers really take the initiative? Didn't you, the little flag officers, snatch it from the brothers?"

He has seen the salary standards for the embroidered guards under him, which are thirty liang per month for Tiqi, sixty liang per month for small flag officers, and eighty taels per month for general banner officials.

Compared with the salary standard of Yuelai Inn, Xiuyiwei's salary standard is of course three or four floors higher.

But considering the status of the embroidered clothes guard and the work done by the embroidered clothes guard, it is understandable with this salary standard!

After all, it is a business where you may be beheaded if you do it well or not...

When Fang Ke heard this, he immediately swore and swore: "My lord, I know it well. If my subordinates forcefully snatch a copper plate from the hands of my brothers, my lord, I will cut off the heads of my subordinates!"

Hearing this, the smile at the corner of Yang Ge's mouth finally disappeared. He nodded and said softly: "I will believe you this time, but you must take this as a warning and never do it again. You guys will not do it again in the future." I am a brother who wields a horse spoon in a pot. I take this kind of hard-earned money and money to buy my life, so why don't brothers shoot my cold arrow in the back?"

Fang Kesan smiled and waved his hands repeatedly, saying that he was worrying too much...

Yang Ge was too lazy to pay attention to him, waved his hand and said: "Brother, I appreciate your kindness. Please help me take their money back and return it to them, and then say thank you for me!"

"I will not allow such things to happen here in the future. If anyone feels that I have blocked his way of making money, just look for another job. If he is not angry, just kick me out. I will sincerely thank him!"

"But if there is someone who is unwilling to leave, but also wants to secretly drink the soldiers' blood... then don't blame me for turning against him!"

Fang Ke's face changed slightly, but he hesitated a little. He hesitated for a while and then took a step forward and whispered: "Sir, other adults in Wei actually do this..."

Yang Ge interrupted him: "Master Shen also does this?"

Fang Ke shook his head quickly: "Master Qianhu naturally disdains taking such hard-earned money!"

Yang Ge pointed to the sky: "Isn't that okay? Master Shen will handle it if something happens!"

Fang Ke was convinced, turned around and grabbed the large bag of silver, pulled up the hem of his clothes and counted twenty ingots from it, then handed the remaining half of the bag of silver to Yang Ge with both hands.

Yang Ge looked at the half bag of silver and frowned again: "Isn't the number wrong?"

Fang Ke said quickly: "Sir, these are yours. If you don't believe it, you can go back to Weili to check..."

Yang Ge laughed angrily: "Are you not good at counting, or am I not good at counting?"

Fang Ke looked a little bitter when he heard this. He was helpless and worried when meeting such a stupid young boss who didn't understand the rules.

He groaned and held it in for a long time, then whispered: "Sir, here are all the ill-gotten gains that our brothers collected when they were handling cases. We don't know where the bulk of it went. Anyway, our brothers just ate some of the other people's money." Don’t look down upon the leftovers, otherwise the salary allocated by the Ministry of Revenue alone would not be enough for our brothers to trim their armor and feed their horses!”

"You are not the only one who has this money. All the brothers who handle it have it. It's just a question of how much or how little."

"If you don't take this money, who among the brothers below will dare to take it? Even if the adults above take it, who will feel at ease?"

After Yang Ge listened to his explanation, he reflexively wanted to ask, where did the case come from when their group of people hadn't opened yet?

But just as he was about to leave his mouth, he suddenly reacted and asked: "That case of the Xie family?"

Fang Ke nodded slightly: "Although this case is still pending before the Three Laws Division, it is already finalized. No one in the Xie family can escape. As long as you hold on to this money, there will be no future troubles!"

Yang Ge also wanted to ask, 'Does Master Shen know about this?', but he swallowed it back before he could say it.

Everyone who handles this has a tacit agreement to scrape off a layer of oil, and they also know that the rain and dew are all stained by it. What if Shen Fa knows about it? So what if I don’t know? Can he still block all the embroidered guards' financial opportunities?

He was silent for a long time before uttering three words in a low voice: "How many?"

When Fang Ke heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly replied: "I just made up my monthly salary for you, three hundred taels!"

'What a complete package...'

Yang Ge silently took the baggage, counted fifteen ingots from it, and stuffed it into Fang Ke's arms.

Fang Ke was shocked and was about to persuade him again when he heard Yang Ge say: "This money will be used as food expenses for our banner. You can take it back to buy meat. From now on, the brothers of our banner will have meat to eat every day!"

Fang Ke hesitated to speak, hesitated for a long time, and then clasped his hands in admiration and said: "My ancestors, my brothers, thank you for your kindness!"

Yang Ge waved his hand: "You're welcome, if nothing happens, just go back first!"

Fang Ke clasped his hands and resigned. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something and said: "Sir, the inspection and arrest files you applied for from Master Qianhu in previous years have been delivered. My subordinates sealed them at home and assigned special personnel to guard them. It is convenient for adults to read at home at any time.”

Yang Ge stood up and patted him on the shoulder: "You are still thoughtful, I will go home tomorrow!"

Fang Ke muttered in his heart, 'That's a file from the archives. How dare I not be considerate? ’, bowed his hands and resigned.
