Beishan Fort is still the same.

The dilapidated city walls that have basically lost their defensive capabilities are said to be military households, but in fact they are farmers, men, women, and children.

It's spring now.

Military households with fields outside the city have all begun sowing. Some are planting rice, and some are planting wheat. It looks the same as in previous years.

But it's different.

In previous years, at this time, military households not only had to take care of their own fields, but also had to help small banners, general banners, and hundreds of households plow their fields for free. Life was very hard.

This year, all the small banners, general banners, and hundreds of households, except Li Kun's family, sold their fields to Wu Nian.

They no longer need to help officials farm for free.

Instead, he helped Wu Nian farm the land. It was not free, but he was paid.

This is the gap, this is the pattern. We are all officials, but we, Wu Xiaoqi, are paid wages.

But what puzzled them was that all the fields of Wu Xiaoqi's family were planted with cotton. Wu Xiaoqi also promoted it and called on everyone to grow cotton together.

But although they were very grateful for receiving Wu Xiaoqi's salary, no one followed the trend of growing cotton.

Why grow cotton? You can't eat that stuff. Sell the cotton and then buy grain. Isn't this unnecessary, and you'll get the middleman's price difference?

The Beishan Fort Baihu Residence was very orderly and peaceful during the period when Wu Nian was not around.

This is also rare.

After all, when Wu Nian was here, there would be big disturbances from time to time.

Things in the Baihu Office are still the same as before. Jin Mancheng is no longer able to work. Li Kun and Chen Jinshi make most of the decisions.

Today, the two of them came to the military camp together and sat in the main room of Baihu Mansion to discuss matters.

"Mr. Li Qi, it's not the same thing as Jin Baihu is like this. We should report to the court and remove Jin Baihu."

Chen Jinshi held a cup of tea in his hand, raised his head and said to Li Kun.

"What? Mr. Chen Qi has just taken office, and he wants to become a hundred households?" Li Kun said with a half-smile on his face.

"How can I? I don't have enough qualifications to be a hundred households. This hundred households must be you, Mr. Li Qi." Chen Jinshi shook his head and said.

Li Kun was moved when he heard this.

Become an official. Who doesn’t want to take the next step?

Now Jinman City is half crazy, but the Jin family refuses to move their butts, and forcefully occupy the positions of hundreds of households. A lot of money and food are withheld every month.

Li Kun was quite dissatisfied.

"What conditions do you have?" Li Kun had no ability, but he was very alert as an officer. He raised his head and squinted his eyes and said to Chen Jinshi.

Chen Jinshi's face trembled, and then he said shamelessly: "I would like to ask Mr. Li Qi to be the intermediary to help me intercede with Wu Xiaoqi and ask him to forgive me."

Li Kun's heart was shocked, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Good guy.

Really good guy.

Since the last incident with the Liu Family Fist Sect, the newly appointed chief banner was frightened by his brother. As the dignified chief banner, he bowed to the subordinates directly under him.

I didn't even dare to come to apologize, I had to ask him to be the middleman.

After Li Kun thought for a moment, he nodded and said, "Okay."

This matter was a piece of cake for him. He believed that Wu Nian would give him face and stop worrying about Chen Jinshi.

and.

If you want to move Jinman City and occupy the position of one hundred households, you can only do it with the help of Chen Jinshi.

Besides, if he moved his butt and became a hundred households, wouldn't there be one general banner left vacant?

We worked together to lift Wu Nian up.

Everyone is happy.

"Thank you, Mr. Li Qi." Chen Jinshi's brows were filled with joy, and he quickly put down the tea cup in his hand, thanking him again and again.

What happened that day really frightened him.

Liu Qiankun was a master of the Liu family's boxing sect, and he invited him back at a high price. But Wu Nian actually killed him as soon as he said he was going to kill him.

Thinking about Li Ding's death and Cheng Gao's disappearance again, Chen Jinshi couldn't sleep all night these days. After thinking for a long time, he felt that the only way out was to make friends with Li Kun and then beg for mercy.

Kneel down and beg for mercy, kneel down and lick for mercy.

Now that Li Kun agreed to this matter, he was half relieved. The remaining half was still left to Wu Nian to solve.

Without Wu Nian's nod, he would have been scared to death.

Just when the two reached an agreement, there was a burst of rapid footsteps. The two looked up and saw a soldier barging in from outside.

"Two general banner lords. Someone claims to be Ban Bian Zhang, Zhang Youwei's manager, and wants to see Jin Baihu."

The soldier took a breath and bowed to the two men.

"Half Zhang?" Li Kun and Chen Jinshi looked at each other and saw a solemn look in each other's eyes.

Although military households and civilian households are in two different systems, Ban Bianzhang is a prominent figure in the neighborhood. Their small household of 100 households cannot afford to suffer.

"Please." Li Kun straightened his posture and said to the soldiers.

"Yes." The soldier responded, turned around and went down.

Not long after, the soldiers ushered in a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face. Although he was a steward, he was actually wearing silk and satin and had an arrogant look on his face.

Li Kun and Chen Jinshi were immediately restrained. The slaves were all wearing silk and satin. Is this Han Bian Zhang's financial resources and confidence?

The two stood up, Li Kun raised his hand to the middle-aged steward and said: "This steward, I am Li Kun, the general flag of Beishan Fort. Our Jin Baihu is ill, and I am currently in charge of the Baihu Office. You have

What's the matter?"

The middle-aged manager was very satisfied with Li Kun's attitude. He raised his hand and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Li Qi, and I am Shen Zhong."

"My master, Youwei, sent me here to ask how you manage people in Beishan Fort. Your bannerman, Wu Nian, kidnapped our third young master. You general bannermen and hundreds of households are all to blame.

."

At the end of the story, the middle-aged manager started to sound stern.

"Ah?!!!" Li Kun and Chen Jinshi were dumbfounded, and then took a breath of air-conditioning, their two legs trembling, and they were sweating like rain.

Very meow.

We, the general bannermen, have to treat Ban Bianzhang as a steward with courtesy. It is not because we are afraid of this minion, but because we are afraid of Ban Bianzhang's power and reputation.

You, Xiaoqi, are so good, you just kidnapped Ban Bian Zhang’s third young master?

Chen Jinshi originally wanted to form an alliance with Li Kun and ease the relationship with Wu Nian through Li Kun, but now he has murmurs in his heart.

This kid.

He is so bold, will Ban Bian Zhang spare him?

Chen Jinshi was undecided, which was not surprising.

But Li Kun was not heroic, but rather cunning. At the critical moment, he supported Wu Nian. He stretched out his palm and slapped the coffee table, stood up suddenly, looked at the middle-aged steward and said: "Don't spit on others. Although I, Beishan Fort, are all

He is a soldier with a sword, but he is also a law-abiding soldier. Xiaoqi is a military attache from the seventh rank, not that green forest thief. How could we, Wu Xiaoqi, do kidnapping? "

In fact, Li Kun also suspected that Wu Nian did it, after all, this guy was extremely brave.

But now Ban Zhang has not produced any evidence, and has defended his brother first.

Li Kun is not completely loyal, but instinctive.

This kid Wu Nian has weathered many storms, thunder and lightning. Not only did he not fall down, but he also got stronger and stronger.

This time Li Kun bets that Wu Nian will still win.

Oh shit.

Although the chance of winning is very low.

The other party is half-hearted.

"My brother, no, you are my father. What on earth are you doing?" Li Kun wailed in his heart.
