Li Xiao, who had been thinking about it all night, was a little discouraged. One hundred and fifty thousand taels of silver was really a big sum in years. But no matter how Li Xiao calculated it, it seemed that it would not take more than a few months. There were too many places to spend money, and there was no

Method. If you want to recruit people to work and fight, you have to spend money. There is no market for just relying on words.

You still have to be honest!

If the boss is not interesting enough, there will be no interesting employees.

Although a poor person's life is worthless these days, there still has to be a price for someone to sell his or her life.

Mao Wenlong paid his respects to the commander-in-chief of the town, and the emperor personally received him. Together with Li Xiao, Ao Canghai, Man Gui and Wu Ye, they also had the opportunity to see the beauty of the sky!

Li Xiao is actually not curious about the emperor's virtues. Anyway, he has one nose and two eyes. If he looks like Yangtze River No. 7, Li Xiao won't mind asking him for a laser weapon.

He had to go to the Ministry of War, because his seal and official uniform were in the Ministry of War. Originally, Wang Zaijin could arrange officials of their level. But the emperor suddenly became interested and wanted to see the meritorious officials. Li Xiao

If you don’t want to go to the capital, you have to go.

The schedule was very tight. After going to the Ministry of War, he had to go to Shandong. There were old friends waiting for him there. The last time he recruited soldiers was in Shandong. Li Xiao had a very good impression of the folks in Shandong, mainly because they were down-to-earth.

As long as he is called into the team and trained by Ao Ye, he will definitely be able to follow orders and prohibitions. In addition, the previous group of people have gone home one after another, taking back all the money they earned this year. Pi Dao's foundation among the people in Shandong is

That's pretty solid.

After two or three years of hard work on Phi Island, you will be a proper small landowner when you return home. The money you save in one year on Phi Island may not be enough even if you work hard at home for five years with your back turned to the sky.

This year the team will expand to 2,000 people, and Li Xiao wants to handle them all in Shandong. Shandong has a huge population, so it shouldn’t take much effort to find 2,000 honest people. This is the advantage of China, with a large population base. What do you want?

Talents have room for selection.

After a sleepless night, we set out after breakfast.

Li Xiao was surprised to see Zu Dashou in the send-off team. Apart from his sallow complexion, blurry eyes, and needing help when walking, he seemed to have no problem with it.

Yesterday, I watched him drink more than 20 bowls of white wine, which weighed several kilograms. Although he vomited a lot in the middle, it was still enough to kill a person. Li Xiao was still worried that if his ancestor drank it to death on his birthday,

Wu Sangui came to take revenge on him. Should he kill? Or should he kill? Or should he kill!

"Commander Zu, I asked you to forgive me for Meng Lang yesterday!" Seeing Zu Dashou weakly leaning on Wu Xiang's shoulder, Li Xiao quickly went over to salute. He still respected this guy in his heart.

"Haha! You said yesterday that after you finished drinking this wine, you would have a splitting headache and be worse than dead the next day. I have learned the lesson. I wanted to commit suicide this morning. But my ancestor, Dashou, still wants to thank you for having those things from you.

Brothers don't have to fight the Tatars head-on with swords and guns, and many fewer people will die. My ancestor, Dashou, thanks you, and I also thank you on behalf of the brothers.

Sangui! Give Brother Li a gift for your uncle!"

Brother Li? Then Wu Sangui is his junior? Looking at Wu Sangui who is a head taller than Li Xiao, Li Xiao has absolutely no way to associate this peerless great Yin with the words "junior".

Wu Sangui cupped his fists with both hands and bowed his head to Li Xiao at 90 degrees. Except for the movements of his hands, he looked like a Japanese.

"Since the Commander-in-Chief calls me brother Li Xiao, I, Li Xiao, will call me big brother. I used to look down on the Liao army and always felt that the Liao army fled when they saw the Tatars. But seeing your eldest brother, I began to admire the Liao army again.

Jun. At least I admire your eldest brother!

In order to save a few of his brothers from dying, there are not many general officers in this world who can risk their lives. For this reason, I, Li Xiao, hand you over as my eldest brother." After Li Xiao finished speaking, he faced Zu Dashou.

It is also a deep gift.

"Haha! Good brother, I have inherited this love from Zu Dashou. In the future, if you can use my Zu Dashou, just ask." Zu Dashou took Li Xiao's hand and looked at Li Xiao with eyes full of sincerity.

"Rubbish!"

"Bitch!"

"Bingyouzi!"

"Scum!"

"Scum!"

Li Xiao was riding on his horse. Thinking about what had just happened in front of Shanhaiguan City Gate, he became so angry that he whipped the tree beside the road with his riding crop.

He now regrets that Mao, in his excitement, said such disgusting words, "Brother, if you need anything, just ask."

As soon as Li Xiao said these words, Zu Dashou immediately hit the snake and put it on the stick. When he opened his mouth, two thousand rounds of bullets were fired! In front of so many people, Li Xiao could only bite the water that was thrown out by his words.

Use your molars to swallow into your stomach.

Li Xiao, who was full of regrets, learned a valuable lesson, that is, if Zu Dashu is sincere, then damn it unless the sow can climb a tree.

Leaving Shanhaiguan is the border of Hebei Province. Every time Mao Wenlong went to a county town, there were county officials who enthusiastically fawned over him. After all, this was the commander-in-chief of the town who was personally appointed by His Majesty the Emperor, and his status was not generally high.

Mao Wenlong, a veteran official, was naturally very familiar with official affairs. On the surface, he was as clear as water and as bright as a mirror. He even scolded several officials for hosting too sumptuous banquets.

But privately, it was because the cashier's hand was cramping when such a big official passed the border. It was inevitable that everyone would be confused. Who knows where the boss will go in the future. If you leave a good relationship now, there will be someone who will be short-lived in the future.

It doesn't seem out of the ordinary to ask for help.

Li Xiao did not interfere with Mao Wenlong's good deeds. Instead, he was a little worried about whether Man Gui could arrive in the capital in time to be granted the title. His position was the same as Ao Canghai's, that of Zhaoxin Colonel. Following Mao Wenlong to see His Majesty the Emperor, he had to go before Li Xiao

the front.

Li Xiao basically doesn't interfere with the affairs of the team now. As long as he gets to the station, he changes his clothes and takes Li Hu, Ai Husheng and the others out for shopping. When he sees interesting things that suit the occasion, he buys some. This trip is still necessary.

Just bring something back to Xiaoyu and Xiaohao.

Li Xiao is downplaying his position. After all, those who stand out can easily be shot. Now it is better to nest under Mao Wenlong's wings and quietly watch the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. As a newbie in remediation, he is not the opponent of those old foxes.

.It is very valuable to pretend to be low-key at this time.

After driving for several days, a black outline appeared in front of us. The city walls of the capital looked like crouching beasts in the warm spring breeze, stretching for dozens of miles in darkness. The seven-story-high wall was extremely majestic, with large Chinese characters on it.

The flag was blown by the new wind and made a "whistle" sound!
