Tang Jian then approached and took a pair of shoes from Lu Xiaocao's backpack and looked at them.

The stitching was even and the soles were tight.

The appearance was also beautiful.

It was much better looking than the straw sandals made by Liu Bei!

Lu Xiaocao felt that Tang Jian was right in front of her, and her face instantly turned red.

"Sir, do you... like it?"

Tang Jian nodded and said:

"Xiaocao's craftsmanship is really good."

"I have a lot of leather at home, and I am preparing to ask someone to sew it into armor."

"Xiaocao has such a good craftsmanship, so you can help me make armor, and the consultation fee will be deducted from the wages, how about it?"

Lu Xiaocao heard that she could not only earn money, but also offset the consultation fee, and she could often see... hear the master talking.

So, without thinking, she agreed directly:

"Okay, okay, then I will discuss it with my mother and brother."

Then she turned around and went to discuss it with Lu Kuang and the old lady.

Lu Kuang went to buy medicine early in the morning, so she went to her mother to ask for her consent.

After hearing this, the old woman nodded and said, "This gentleman is really kind-hearted. Even if he doesn't want to be paid, we should repay him."

Lu Xiaocao said, "My daughter thinks so too."

After Lu Kuang came back, Lu Xiaocao said that she wanted to sew clothes and armor in Tang Jian's camp

Lu Kuang hurriedly said to her:

"Nonsense, what are you doing in that camp as a girl?"

"And who will take care of my mother?"

When Lu Xiaocao heard this, she immediately wilted.

She seemed depressed.

At this time, Tang Jian said:

"It just so happens that I am going to build a family living area in the garrison."

"If Ziling doesn't mind, he can take Xiaocao and his aunt to live in the camp."

"In this way, you don't have to run back and forth, and you don't have to worry about Xiaocao and his aunt being left unattended."

Seeing that Lu Kuang was still hesitant, Tang Jian said again:

"If Ziling marries and starts a family in the future, he will also need a place to settle down."

"You can't let your wife and children live alone outside, right?"

After listening, Lu Kuang agreed.

Tang Jian was very happy and gave Lu Kuang a lot of gold and silver.

Lu Kuang insisted on not accepting it.

Tang Jian said: "This is not for you. This is money for you to settle Xiaocao and your aunt. With this money, you can hire some maids to serve them."

"Just think of this as my advance salary to you."

Lu Kuang happily accepted it, and then packed up with Lu Xiaocao, took her mother, and left the village in Tang Jian's carriage.

"It's really a ghost!"

"Lu Kuang, you are a county magistrate, and you are also a member of the imperial court."

"How can you be willing to follow the orders of a bandit leader?"

"I am really disappointed, very disappointed!"

The county magistrate complained while reluctantly stamping the official seal on Lu Kuang's resignation letter.

Lu Kuang did not argue, but just bowed and said:

"Thank you for your care in the past four years."

The county magistrate waved his hands impatiently:

"Go, go, go, don't bother me here."

After completing the formalities, Lu Kuang was no longer an official.

Tang Jian was waiting for him outside the county government office with a horse.

He also prepared a good horse for Lu Kuang today.

This is the best horse that can be bought in the county horse market.

Seeing Lu Kuang coming out, Tang Jian handed him the reins:

"Zi Ling."

"From today on, you will be under my command, Tang Jian."

"I promise you that in the future, you will not regret the decision you made today."

Lu Kuang took the reins and jumped on the horse.

"My lord, I never regret going."

"Hahahaha..."

The two rode out of the county government office and headed for the station.

…………

Jianye.

Looking at many famous figures coming out of the hall.

Fu Ying suddenly felt a little nervous.

After all, this was the first time he came to Jianye to report since he took charge of Danyang.

In name, it was a report, but in fact, Sun Quan had asked him for soldiers.

But his treasury was empty, and the business in Wanling City was so sluggish.

No one came to the city to do business, and people sold their goods at the dock.

Taxes could not be collected at all.

Where did the money come from to recruit soldiers?

Moreover, it has not been a month since he took over Danyang.

Sun Quan has already started to fleece him.

It is really like forcing a bull to give birth. Fu Ying sighed, made up his mind, and walked in.

Sun Quan's residence was very busy.

Because I heard recently that Cao Cao has built warships and trained naval forces in Wulin.

He is really preparing to invade the south!

So Sun Quan was also busy preparing for war.

"See the Lord of Wu."

Fu Ying entered the study, and Sun Quan was still busy reviewing official documents on the table.

Seeing Fu Ying coming, Sun Quan put down his brush, smiled, and raised his hand to make a ".

But his smile made Fu Ying feel more nervous.

"General Fu is here? Please take a seat."

"Thank you, Lord Wu."

Fu Ying thanked him nervously and sat down nervously.

Sun Quan looked at Fu Ying with a warm face and asked:

"General, how is the matter in Danyang?"

Fu Ying was a little dumbfounded. What is Danyang? What happened?

But he was a straightforward person, and he asked directly if he didn't understand:

"I don't understand, please let Lord Wu explain."

Sun Quan immediately felt that he had been bored, so he said, "I'm asking, how is the recruitment of soldiers in Danyang?"

After listening to this, Fu Ying thought to himself that he really came to ask me for soldiers.

But you, Sun Quan, are stingy and don't give a penny.

How do you want me to recruit soldiers?

So Fu Ying said:

"Reply to the Lord Wu, I am incompetent and have been in charge of Danyang for 21 days, but it is not yet a full month."

"There are many things to be done in the county, and the treasury is empty. There is no extra money to recruit soldiers."

Fu Ying's words are also very sophisticated.

Boss, I have only been in office for 21 days, and it is nine days short of a full month. How dare you come to me to ask for soldiers?

When you left, Danyang was a mess, and you didn't leave me a penny. How can I have the money to recruit soldiers?

If you want to blame someone, blame me for my incompetence. At worst, I will quit!

I have never seen any immortal who can manage a county in an orderly manner in 21 days and recruit soldiers for you!

If there is, then this person can only be that shameless Tang Jian!

After hearing this, Sun Quan's smile faded a little.

Then he apologized:

"It's my fault for not thinking it through."

"But..."

After apologizing, he immediately increased the intensity of Fu Ying.

"Cao Cao is now stationing troops in Jiangbei and is about to cross the river to invade the south."

"My Jiangdong troops are really limited and cannot compete with Cao Cao."

"I hope that the general will overcome all difficulties and recruit more troops for Jiangdong after returning."

"When the time comes, I will lead the army to repel Cao the thief, and Jiangdong will be stable, and the general's position will also be stable."

After listening, Fu Ying frowned again.

No, I said I have no money, didn't you hear it?

I am a ram, and you are milking me?

You also want me to overcome all difficulties. Do you want me to sell my property to recruit soldiers for you?

Even if I really sell my property, how much money can it be worth?

Speaking of property, Fu Ying thought of someone again.

Tang Jian!

If he wasn't so shameless, he would have probably gotten a share of Gui Lan and Dai Yuan's property.

He took the money and went to recruit soldiers.

It would be better to turn him over and let him fight Sun Quan.
