He Ying woke up for a while before Lu Li woke up, and then a small follower came in with a washbasin, helped him wash up, and brought him a set of men's clothes to change into. We went to the dining room together for breakfast, and saw a few bowls of stick porridge and a small dish of pickled vegetables on the table of the boss.

"Is this Hu County so poor?" Lu Li stared at the table of clear soup and little water, and was stunned. He remembered seeing a lot of good farmland on the way here. Could it be that the harvest was not good?

"Poor? Hahaha..." Laughter came from the door, Lao Liu and several other brothers in charge came over, first saluted the head, He Ying pulled Lu Li to sit down, and they sat down one after another, Lao Liu Looking back and forth between the boss and Lu Li, he said with a smile, "My young mistress, this Hu county is a rich and beautiful land, but it's a pity that the money and food are not in the hands of the common people!"

"Eat." He Ying interrupted the old sixth's chatter, and waved his chopsticks to the little follower who waited on the meal: "Seventeen, go to the back kitchen and get a bowl of meat, and add vegetables to the young lady!"

The little attendant answered yes, and quickly ran to the back kitchen. After a while, a bowl of bacon came out. He Ying took the first chopstick and put it in Lu Li's bowl.

"Follow our boss, and we will have meat to eat!" The second child drank in a muffled voice, and the other brothers responded one after another: "Follow the boss, and we will have meat to eat!" After finishing speaking, they put down their chopsticks one after another, and the bowl of meat was filled in an instant .

Lu Li looked around at the people around the table. Apart from the second and sixth children he had seen, there were three men and one woman. These people were also looking at Lu Li, but no one said anything until He Ying took two mouthfuls of porridge and said: "Mute? Talk!"

The rough man sitting directly opposite Lu Li took a few sips of porridge and patted his chest: "Second brother, I met you last night."

"Second Lord." Lu Li cupped his hands.

"I'm the third child," said the energetic young man next to the second child, laughing, "I'm in charge of sentry."

"Fourth," said the gentleman-looking man who pushed the frame of his glasses. Compared to the third, he spoke slowly, "Take care of weapons and ammunition."

"I've seen the third and fourth masters."

"Ordinarily I'm the fifth child, but everyone is used to calling me Miss Hong." The person who spoke was a woman in her thirties, with a still charming appearance, a pair of phoenix eyes hanging down, she looked shrewd, she smiled at Lu Li, Dare to say anything: "I still think about how handsome our young mistress is, she seduces us as the head of the family, and she came out late to practice. Tsk tsk... Dare to be affectionate is not because of her good looks, but because of her good physical strength?"

"Pfft..." As soon as the words fell, everyone at the table suppressed their laughter.

[It is detected that the favorability of unknown creatures is about to fall below the critical value. ]

[It’s amazing, my snow, can you detect the favorability of unknown creatures? ]

[I have upgraded the danger perception system. When a certain index of non-owner organisms poses a potential threat to the host, the system will automatically alarm. ]

It shows that the rate of return for doing tasks well is good.

Lu Li raised his eyebrows: "Acceptance and acquiescence are mainly due to the efforts of the head of the family. You are praising the wrong person." After finishing speaking, He Ying choked. , Leng Leng.

"Lao Qi." Lao Liu took away the last piece of meat with a smile, and whistled, only to see a half-person-high black-backed wolfhound rushing into the door, Lao Liu threw the piece of meat to him, and said: "We have finished introducing , " said and glanced at He Ying: "Young Mistress..."

Lu Li also glanced at He Ying, and seeing that he didn't intend to stop him, he said, "Lu Li, a man from Hebei Province, fled to join the head of the family, and now he is a fake wife." Except for the second and sixth children, the rest Everyone was confused by Lu Li's words and looked at each other in blank dismay.

"The one surnamed Lu sent off his aunt to embarrass me, and I'll find someone to add to his troubles!" He Ying took a look at Lu Li while answering the conversation: "From now on, he is your young mistress when he is away at home. He is the eighth."

Lu Li was munching on the bacon, but in the end, he was still ranked behind the dogs...

"Liu Liu, three days from today to tomorrow, you will take someone to count the treasury, and give me a copy of the account book the night after tomorrow. Sister Hong, go and buy some clothes, jewelry, wigs, and a sachet. You keep a sachet , the rest will be given to the third child. The third child, pick a few nimble ones, and hide all the sachets in the commander's mansion. The fourth child, I will also give you three days. It is his duty to send Marshal Lu to my concubine. The words of the girl spread throughout Hu County. Do you understand?" He Ying slapped the table as he spoke.

"Understood!"

"Then let's do it separately!"

The brothers drank the porridge, got up and left, He Ying thought of something, and called to the fourth child: "Fourth, wait a moment! Arrange a few people to pick persimmons outside the city. In three days, as many baskets as you can pick are counted." basket."

"Boss, do you want to eat persimmons?" The fourth child looked puzzled.

He Ying snorted with a sullen face: "The young lady must bring some greetings to her natal family when she returns home!" After finishing speaking, seeing that the fourth child did not move, He Ying raised his thick eyebrows: "What else do you not understand?"

"I understand every word, but I don't understand it..." The fourth child scratched his head: "As a meeting gift, do you just give persimmons?"

"What happened to the persimmons?"

"What a shame..."

"Who is shabby?"

"..." The fourth child looked at Lu Li in embarrassment.

"Your head of the family is poor with the surname Lu!" Lu Li smiled and said, "Let's go!"

The fourth child scratched the back of his head and left. For a moment, only He Ying, Lu Li and the second child were left in the dining room. He Ying caught a glimpse of half a piece of meat thrown into Lu Li's porridge bowl, frowned, and snorted, "Don't you like the meal?"

"The food at the county magistrate's house is just so oily, and it's not easy to be the county magistrate's wife," Lu Li shook his head, "Who is this person who doesn't have eyes, and wants to grab meat from our family's head?"

He Ying narrowed his eyes, and because of this sentence, he took a second look at Lu Li, but before he said anything, the second child began to curse.

"Damn it! The strong dragon can't overwhelm the local snake, and the whole of this Hu county is fucking eating dog things..."

"Second Lord, it seems that there are really twisted intestines here?" Lu Li grabbed the conversation and asked the second child. The second child is a straight person, so he told Lu Li everything in a few words.

It turns out that this Hu county is rich in real estate, with fields and mines. It was originally a rich place.Who would have thought that after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the warlords fought in a melee, but they attracted Marshal Lu to be a warlord. He occupied the wealth of the entire eastern province, and even let his brother-in-law open a factory in Hu County, in name of construction, To put it bluntly, it is to collect money.

Now the Lu family has turned this county into a mess, the people are clinking with poverty, the county books are all in the red, and there is no money in the treasury.It is said that it is to give He Ying a reputation as the county magistrate, but in fact it is a mess for him. Not only can he not take advantage of it, but he has to pay for the relief of the county out of his own pocket. It is a loss-making business!

"Aren't you bandits? Why don't you stay in the county town and suffer this cowardice?"

"It's easy to rob money—it's a pity that Kong has the ability to rob money, and there is no way to make money!" He Ying took the words, looked at Lu Li, and said slowly: "It's a troubled time now, you can take over the mountains and become king, but It’s a mess for a while, but it won’t last forever, and in the end, we have to make a name for ourselves!”

Although he didn't say this clearly, Lu Li could understand it.

Who wants to live in hiding if there is a way out?They defected to the warlords, although they also relied on fighting for their livelihood, at least they were regular soldiers, and they could still have a military rank if they mixed well, and it was also for long-term planning.

It's a pity...

"But I didn't expect Marshal Lu to be so unkind, to give you a group of generals a civil servant?" Lu Li curled his lips.

"Isn't that right! He said he was enrolling us in the military..." The second child slapped his thigh, and was almost stabbed in the heart by this sentence: "Damn it--in this troubled world, you have to fight to have military merits, and only with military merits can you be close to me." Body! He let a group of us rough people nest in the county to be county magistrates, to fight wits and bravery with the local rich man, this trick is so fucking wicked!"

At this moment, He Ying snorted coldly: "Then let's compare who is lacking!"
