When Tang Jieyi agreed to attend the banquet, the officials of all sizes and big and small behind him were all happy. There was little talk of treating guests in Fuping's officialdom because everyone was busy with their lives and could care about their family, but they didn't care about the "friendship" of their colleagues. There were few times when they were treating each other. Anyway, everyone was "clean in their arms", and no one could blame anyone for being stingy.

Li Qin said again: "Sir, our Fuping is not as good as the mainland of the Central Plains. It is located in the border area and has serious problems. Thanks to the great masters who have worked hard to help the court, this has made the local peace. Under your inspiration, all of you have done your best. Therefore, my Fuping people can live and work in peace and contentment."

When he flattered, Tom nodded when he heard it. Everyone liked to listen to good things, and he was no exception.

Li Qin said: "This time I brought a few sheepskins. I wanted to borrow the name of the adults and buy some salt and give it to all the brothers..." He said this, and pretended to be embarrassed and said: "There are many brothers, but there are not many sheepskins. I don't even give much salt, but I have to borrow the name of the adults. I feel deeply ashamed..."

Tang Jie smiled and thought to himself, "You guys, your ability to win over people is much better than that of Tang Biao!" Tang Biao just now talked to the soldiers in the Tun City, but he heard it, pretending not to hear it, and even secretly scolded Tang Biao for being useless. Now that he has comparisons, he naturally feels that Li Qin is good at being a human being.

Nodded, Tang Jie said, "It's a good thing that you have this intention. Brothers are your comrades-in-arms. If you give them salt, how can they think it's too much? As for borrowing the name of my official, it's not necessary. Just say it was you who gave it to me. How can I take away the beauty of others?"

Shen Yi was the most straightforward and said whatever he wanted. He shouted: "Li Lang said that he wanted to sell the sheepskin and exchange it for everyone. The lord agreed!"

The soldiers watching each had their own thoughts. Li Qin won the game and received a month's military ration. Many of them were quite jealous, but when they heard the bald man shouting, they were stunned and realized that the taste was coming. This is the benefit Li Qin got, and I want to share it with everyone!

"Li Lang is the most righteous!" The soldiers shouted together after thumping.

The soldiers of Tang Biaotun had just woken up the fainted strong men, but they did not mean to blame the strong men. On the contrary, they were very glad that they lost and had three days of food. If they won, everyone would not get anything except these guys with long bags on their heads.

Suddenly, I heard that Li Qin wanted to sell sheepskin and change salt to everyone. All the soldiers in Tang Biao Village were very happy. Li Qin was much more righteous than Tang Biao. It would be great if Li Qin was their governor. When the soldiers were happy, they shouted, calling Li Lang the most righteous.

The audience was filled with cheers!

Li Qin thought to himself: "You should become famous as soon as possible. As long as my reputation is out, the world will be in chaos in the future. I guess I can raise an army with a shout. It would be great if I could become a prince!"

Outside the East City Gate, all the soldiers and the people were happy, except for two people, one was Jia's father in the crowd, and the other was Tang Biao.

Jia's father stamped his feet and said, "This is a prodigal thing. Why don't you sell it with sheepskin? I'm fine with me? It's better to buy a few more jars of wine. How can I give it to so many irrelevant people? This prodigal son cannot be divided into internal and external troubles. I have to enlighten him if I have the chance in the future."

Tang Biao's face turned pale and angrily scolded Li Qin for buying people's hearts. It would be fine if he bought other people's soldiers, but he actually bought his own soldiers. It was really unwilling!

If someone else is disliked, since he looks down on Li Qin so much, he secretly hates him and will not attend Li Qin's banquet. But Tang Biao is not like this. He has a scoundrel temper. Don't you want to treat him? Do you think I won't go? You think you are wrong, I have to go, and you have to eat hard, I will eat you poorly!

When Tang Biao thought about this, he felt that he had taken advantage of Li Qin so much, and he felt relieved again. Thinking that he would be poor in a while, Li Qin was happy again, so happy that he even forgot the pain on his ribs!

Tang Jie's original arrangement was to call the name in the morning, then compete in two games, take care of the soldiers for a meal at noon, and then compete in the afternoon, and decide the winner and lose. Once the food is distributed, they will be disbanded after dinner. In the future, if there is something to do, let the soldiers come and eat them when there is nothing to do. But unexpectedly, the game ended so soon, and Li Qin would treat him.

He handed over all the matters in the field to the yamen runners, and asked Li Qin to give the sheepskin to the yamen runners, and asked the yamen runners to sell them on their behalf, and exchanged salt for the soldiers. After the instructions, Tang Jie led everyone into the city and found a restaurant where everyone had good food and drinks, and then Li Qin paid the bill.

Li Qin didn't care whether sheepskin could be sold today. He brought the money Liu Sheng gave him to, in order to make friends with his superiors and colleagues, and a meal was enough.

Everyone went into the city and headed straight to the largest restaurant in the city. The restaurant was said to be the largest, but in fact it was just a decent main hall. It was mainly engaged in business of merchants. When the restaurant owner saw the county magistrate arrive in person, he naturally flattered himself and took out all the best food and food in the store to entertain officials of all sizes and big and small in Fuping County.

After combining several tables, Tom Jie sat on the top. Li Qin spent money, so he was with the Prime Minister. Others looked for places to sit according to the case, waited for the wine and meat to be served, let go of his stomach and ate and drank, shouted and persuaded each other to drink.

Tang Jie put down his shelf and drank a few bowls of wine. His face was flushed. He patted Li Qin on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Li Lang, you have a good character and are generous. You are rare in our Fuping young people like you. If you have any wishes, you might as well say them and see if I can help you." This was very direct. I am optimistic about you and plan to cultivate them. If you have any ideas, I will agree to you as long as it is not too much.

Li Qin put down the wine bowl and said solemnly: "I really have a reluctant request, but I am afraid that the lord will not agree, and I am afraid that it will make things difficult for me."

Tang Jie waved his hand and laughed, saying, "Although you are a tactful person, if you really don't ask for it, you will not make things difficult for me!"

Li Qin said: "Sir, my subordinate just wants to follow me and serve me all the time. There is only one request. I am just afraid that my subordinates will be disgusted with their poor abilities and will not let their subordinates follow me!"

When Tang Jie heard this, he laughed loudly and said, "So it's such a heartless request! If you have this wish, how can I not agree? I agree, I agree!" He knew that Li Qin would not make him embarrassed, it must be a good idea.

Other officials sighed inwardly. Li Qin was really good at speaking, which made the county magistrate laugh constantly. There was no other person in Fuping who could do this.

At the end of the long table, Wu Xiaosan and Chen Yi were also highly valued. Many minor officials could not speak with the county magistrates, so they could only toast Wu Xiaosan and the others and take the opportunity to make friends. These days, the mighty men are popular everywhere, especially those who are as powerful as Wu Xiaosan and the others.

Wu Xiaosan and the others drank this wine very happily, and each of them drank from the round-rod. Wu Danzi drank a bowl of wine and whispered: "When I was a thief, I would hide when I saw an official. I didn't expect that I could drink with them today and toast me. I have a half-life glory, and today is the best!"

Chen Yi also said: "Yes, when I was a robber, I used to have a lot of days of drinking big bowls and eating big pieces of meat, but this is the first time I have been so happy like today."

Wu Xiaosan said: "It seems that following Li Lang has a future. Come to Brother Chen, let's have a bowl of wine, and we will be brothers of life and death in the future. You have to take care of me!" He picked up the wine jar and took the initiative to pour a bowl of wine for Chen Yi.

Chen Yi is not a sloppy person, he will be good to anyone who treats him well. He picked up the wine bowl, met Wu Xiaosan, and said, "What's the matter with Brother Wu? You should take care of your brother more!"

The two of them drank all the wine and did things happily. All the previous unhappiness disappeared!

Jing Qi used the alcohol to yell at the officials, talking about all kinds of strange stories and his ideal of being a hero. The officials were funny, but everyone nodded and flattered them casually.

Xu Xiaoni drank less and ate more meat. While chewing heavily, he thought to himself: "Dad is right. If you have meat with Brother Qin, you should still have enough food!"

On the whole table, Tang Biao was unhappy. He ate wildly and had a full stomach first before he started drinking. Seeing that everyone on the table flattered Li Qin, he felt very unhappy, but Tang Jie was present, and he couldn't be so happy to be drunk. His eyes rolled, and he saw Tang Ren next to him drinking, and he had a scheming heart.

Tang Biao whispered: "Brother, this Li Qin has a bad intention, it will be detrimental to you."

Tang Ren was stunned, put down the wine bowl and asked, "Why is it unfavorable? I didn't offend him, why would he do it against me?"

Tang Biao said: "Brother, think about it. Li Qin is so compelling to the hearts of the people and currying his uncle well. This is a purpose. He is a soldier, so what else can he do? Isn't it just an promotion? Seeing that he has invested such a large amount of capital, he must not only be greedy for the position of a team leader, but also be greedy for your position by your brother!"

Tang Ren whispered softly. He was already confused. After drinking, he became even more confused. In addition, his ears were soft. He took everything others said seriously and asked casually: "It turns out to be like this. How should I deal with it?"

Tang Biao was overjoyed, just be fooled. You go and repair Li Qin, and I will applaud you from behind. He whispered: "Someone should be sent to monitor Li Qin, find out his evil behavior, and then punish him!"

Tang Ren nodded and agreed. He said, "Yes, it should be like this. Fortunately, you reminded me by brother. Let's do this, you will do it and monitor Li Qin."

Tang Biao immediately grinned, no, whoever came up with a suggestion would do it? If I had known this, I would not have such an idea. It would be easy to make an idea, but it would be difficult to do it. If Li Qin knew that I was monitoring him, wouldn't he have to break my left ribs!

But the clan brother and boss had an order, so he could only agree with the slightest and said, "Yes, I will definitely... I will definitely find out what he has to do."

After drinking and eating, the meal was eaten until afternoon, and then it was over. Tang Jie was helped back to the yamen by someone, while Li Qin took his men and Meng Mu to the outside of Dongcheng to see the food, salt and other items they had received.
