Dongfang Ci sat down and said, "Master Xu, the real number of Ti cavalry owned by Qianhu of Guidewei has been found out. I will send someone to the government office to take a look at it. Can you take the initiative to ask?"

"Wangfang Qianhu, please ask." Xu Bingzheng raised his hand.

"After the prefect Xu took office, he was busy investigating the thousand households and the actual number of all military households in Guide Mansion. He took the liberty to ask, "I don't know what the purpose is?"

"The Qianhu of Dongfang must be very clear. The phenomenon of military households in the Ming Dynasty is very serious. The court has sent people to replenish the fugitives many times, and even specially set up a Qing army censor to deal with the matters of fugitives and replenishing the military. However, the effect is not obvious. Recruiting troops has gradually become an important source of the Ming army. Since military households are useless, it should be abolished. Isn't it more neat?"

Xu Bingzheng did not hide it, and told the truth directly. After saying that, he deliberately added: "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, this is what Your Majesty meant."

"..." Dongfang Ci was stunned for a moment, then asked in surprise: "Your Majesty meant to abolish the Ming Dynasty's military household system, including the garrison system?"

"Since there are many soldiers fleeing households and management loopholes, and incidents of falsely pursuing military pay are endless every year, and the system is ineffective, so why are you still doing it?"

"Oh, I understand, I understand, it's basically the same as what I think." Dongfang Ci nodded and murmured, "Although the pilot reform in Wanping County has not been clearly stated to the public, it is actually done."

"It seems that Dongfang Qianhu is a sensible person." Xu Bingzheng smiled, then quickly restrained his smile and said seriously, "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has always wanted to find out the true number and combat effectiveness of the Ming army. If there is no change, our Ming army will continue to be in a state of deflation. Your Majesty's determination this time is great."

After Dongfang Ci pondered, he asked again: "Where should we go?"

"Of course those who want to join the army can stay and continue to serve the court. From next year, the first year of Taihe, the treatment of soldiers will be better as designated as officials, and their status will not be like military households that are lower than civilian households. So why should the thousand households in the East worry about their future?"

"Thank you, Magistrate Xu, for your advice."

"You're welcome, Dongfang Qianhu, is there any other problem?" Xu Bingzheng ordered to expel the guests.

However, Dongfang Ci still seemed to have no intention of leaving and was still sitting motionless.

"Hey, Dongfang Qianhu is fine and leave. My father-in-law and Prefect Xu have something to discuss." Zhu Bajie said bluntly, not afraid of offending others.

Dongfang Ci smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Actually, I really have some private matters and want to ask two adults for help, but I don't know how to speak."

Zhu Bajie shook his head and teased with a little disdainful expression and tone, "Look, look, just say you are not honest, and you can say something, why bother to turn around and stammer? What I can't stand the most is people like Dongfang Qianhu, who are insincere."

Dongfang Given a smile.

"What's wrong with the Thousand Houses of the East?" Wang Xiangqian asked.

"Imperial Envoy, this is the case. Your Majesty wants to reform the military households and garrison systems, and this year it happened to be the Beijing Cha Nian, so I want to ask the prefect Xu to take care of him. At the same time, I ask the imperial envoy to talk about the relationship and see if I can be transferred to the capital? This is a little bit of care. I hope the two of you will accept it with a smile and will not be respected."

As he said that, Dongfang Ci took out two silver notes from his arms and handed them to Wang Xianggan and Xu Bingzheng respectively.

"What does Dongfang Qianhu mean?" Wang Xianggan waved his hand without even looking at it, scolding, "Aren't you tempting us to commit crimes and dragging us into the water?"

"Qianhu Dongfang is put away quickly." Xu Bingzheng also hurriedly said, "I and Qin Envoy Wang both took up new positions. Not to mention whether I can help you, even if I can help you, I can't use such a method of breaking the law and discipline!"

Dongfang Ci squeezed out two smiles awkwardly: "The two adults jumped several levels in a row. It can be said that your Majesty favors ministers whom you rely on. As long as you are willing to say a good word or two, I believe this will be done."

Wang Xianggan said slowly: "In addition to considering that the Thousand Houses of the East may be abolished, what are the places worth recommending to the capital? Or, what reason do you think the court should reuse you?"

"..." Dongfang Ci wanted to speak but stopped.

Wang Xianggan continued: Your Majesty has just issued a decree to advocate that all walks of life think that they are talents who are proficient in a certain field and can recommend themselves to the court. So I mean, as long as the Dongfang Qianhu has the responsibility, responsibility and ability, that is, what Your Majesty calls "Three-have" talents, the court will give you the corresponding position, and will not let you be buried."

"So very good! So good!" Dongfang Ci nodded repeatedly, "Your Majesty is really wise!"

"If there is nothing else in the East Qianhu, then go down first!" Wang Xianggan also issued an order to expel guests.

Dongfang Ci had to get up and leave.

"My father-in-law, why do I feel that Dongfang Qianhu is not like a good person the more I look at it?"

Zhu Bajie smacked his lips and said. When Dongfang Ci went out just now, he also stared at the other person with doubt.

"Some words don't have to be said, let alone say them in front of others." Wang Xianggan taught earnestly, "If you live in the world, just shine your own light, and you don't have to blow out other people's lamps."

"But my father-in-law, I feel uncomfortable if I don't say it. When I say it, I feel like I'm glowing." Zhu Bajie didn't think he was wrong. "I have such a personality and can't take care of the feelings of so many people, it will only make me feel uncomfortable."

Then, Zhu Bajie said: "Besides, why do I care about the feelings of Dongfang Qianhu? I don't care about him not liking him. If he was my father-in-law, I naturally knew that he would treat him differently."

Wang Xianggan shook his head helplessly.

Xu Bingzheng smiled slightly, "My Imperial Envoy, in fact, what the little brother said is somewhat reasonable."

"Don't say he is wise and stupid."

"I really want to say that."

"Hehe!" Zhu Bajie grinned, "Why don't you discuss it? I'll go out and give you a wind. I just suspected that Dongfang Qianhu was eavesdropping."

In this way, Zhu Bajie went out and found that there was indeed no one outside, so he went to find Dongfang Jian.

"Ask you something." As soon as he saw Dongfang Jian, Zhu Bajie asked.

"What?" Dongfang Jian asked.

"I remember you once asked me, but I don't know if it was a joke or the truth, so I asked me to kill your uncle?"

"Shhh--Suddenly what did you say?"

"I want to ask, what kind of deep hatred do you have with your uncle? Why do you want to kill him?"

"You are unwilling to help me, what will I tell you?"

"I don't know why, how can I help you? Could it be that I can kill someone casually?"

"Hey, let's forget it?" Dongfang Jian waved his hand in a hidden way again as if he was indescribable.

"You are a mother-in-law and mother-in-law. If you have something to say, why keep it in your heart?"

"The key is that you don't understand even after saying it." Dongfang Jian shook his head and said, "I just want to ask you to help me."

"Why don't I understand underestimating people?"

"Have you ever found a woman?"

"without……"

"Look, you don't even have a beloved woman."

"Why don't you have a beloved woman?"

"You don't count. You don't even know what other people's name, temper, or appearance. In my eyes, your so-called love is just an illusory existence and has no meaning."

"Tsk, isn't it?" Zhu Bajie naturally disagreed and waved his hand, "I won't say anything."

"If your beloved woman is married to you, but you are carrying you and having fun with others, you would think you don't know, how do you feel?"

"..." Zhu Bajie was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

"Look, you don't understand, you still don't admit it."

"Oh, I understand. Could it be that the wife of Dongfang Baihu is good to your uncle? They messed with you on their backs, thinking you didn't know, so you want to kill your uncle?"

"Just say if you can help me?"

"Help." Zhu Bajie agreed immediately, "I just feel that your uncle is not like a good person. He even has his nephew and daughter-in-law. He should be killed by a beast."

Then he changed his tone: "But how do I know what you said is not slander is all true?"

"If you are interested, I will let you see it tonight, so I will treat you as giving you some education in advance."

"Okay!" Zhu Bajie was on a whim.
