Xia Ya was unhappy, even when Green came up to hug his shoulder, he deliberately avoided coldly, got on the horse himself, and said coldly, "Let's go!"
Green smiled, led someone to lead the way, and the group entered the city together.
Along the way, Xia Ya was in a bad mood and lost the mind to look at the scenery on the streets of the city. He finally came to the garrison with Green and others. This was originally the military headquarters of the war zone. After the war ended, the military headquarters was evacuated. garrison.
When I came to the gate of the garrison, I saw that the guards guarding the gate still had the appearance of some soldiers. They were fully dressed and armored.
If nothing else, in the next few years, this will be the official residence of Xia Ya.
After entering the garrison, he rushed into the lobby in one breath, and Xiaya immediately shouted: "Everyone, get out of my house! Green stay!"
There were some officers and soldiers in the capital city next to them. Some of these people didn't know Xia Ya. They just thought it was a guest brought by Green. Seeing that Xia was so arrogant, they were a little dissatisfied. Green sighed and smiled bitterly: "Get out of here! This is the new armament commander, if you don't obey orders, do you want to die!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone changed color, looked at Xiaya fearfully, and ran out in a swarm.
When there was no one else in the lobby, Xia Ya couldn't sit still anymore, patted the table and stood up, put one hand on the handle of the fire fork at his waist, stared at Green, and said coldly: "Go ahead! If you can't tell a doorway Come on, I will cut you today!"
Green smiled, looked at Xiaya's hand on the fire fork at his waist, and smiled slightly: "I believe you can do it, and I understand your anger now, if it were me, I'd probably want to kill people too. "
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand: "Just be patient and wait."
He turned around and walked into the lobby, came back after a while, came with a bulging leather bag in his hand, and threw it on the table in front of Char, when he heard the sound of metal clattering in the leather bag, Green When I took out the dagger and cut it open, I saw that it was full of coins, large and small, including copper plates, silver coins, and even some gold coins.
So many coins are slowly a bag, and the number is not too small!
Then Green took out a booklet from his arms and threw it in front of Char.
"What?" Xia Ya snorted and finally raised her eyelids.
"Account." Green smiled: "After I came here to take office, the old officers of the old base of the original local garrison here have wooed me, pushed me away, bought me, and attached me. I came here like this. In the past few days, how many bribes have been collected, and how many bribes have been collected together with these military rats, the spoils obtained are distributed this year, and the salaries of the third rank are distributed. Almost all the senior officers in the army are connected in series, and they are divided according to the amount of vacancy. The ratio is good, everyone can get a share, this is called the equal share of interests... After seventy-eighty-eight, every black money I collect is as large as the empty amount of military pay, as small as blackmailing past businessmen, and letting go of the military. Those scoundrels scrambled the land and looted the land... All the income, every one of them is clearly recorded in this booklet. Where did the money come from, who gave it, who bribed it, and who was illegal... You Just see and understand."
Xia Ya froze for a while, looked at the booklet on the table in front of him, and stretched out his fingers subconsciously, but then his heart moved, and he looked at Green with a stern face, snorted twice, and said neither yin nor yang: "You Do you want to pass the border after handing in a booklet? Green, I can also regard it as you scavenging for oil and water, and I wrote this ledger to save my hand. Now that I am here, you can't fool yourself, so you handed over this ledger to me , trying to deceive me."
Green was stunned for a moment, stared at Xia Ya with wide eyes, then laughed a few times, shook his head and laughed: "Hahahaha! Alright, Xia Ya, you are considered a lot more mature, and you actually know how to take precautions. Well, You think well, it is considered comprehensive. If you just rely on such a ledger, it will not prove my innocence. "
Green laughed a few times, and then restrained his smirk, and said slowly: "Xia Ya, you have to understand a little, this world, everywhere pays attention to the rules of new people, old friends and old friends. This kind of rules, the army, Among them, it is even worse than other places! Although you and I are both officials appointed by the military, we have no foundation here, and secondly, we don’t know much about the elderly in the military in this place. Take office as soon as you are appointed... Hmph, you don't know how powerful the old habit of deceiving students is in the army. What kind of arrogant and arrogant soldiers, if you rush to take a new boss for them, most of them will be invincible. There are some who can't control the scene, some are powerful, and the people below can make a few tricks, and they can play the new boss who is not pleasing to the eye to death. You and I have come from afar. It is impossible to guarantee that some of the following guys will be reckless and have bad intentions towards you.”
Xia Ya snorted and said angrily: "If you meet this kind of bastard, you will be punished directly with military law. If you deserve to be beaten, you should kill with one knife! Don't you dare to kill me!"
Green shook his head: "Murder is a method, but the people below are not fools. Since they have the intention to mess with you, they will not deliberately force you on the bright side. At most, they will incite the people below to make trouble together. Don't blame the public, even if you are strict in military law, you can't cut down all the people below. It's nothing to mess with you face to face. What I'm most afraid of is that kind of respectful face to face, but disobeying your orders, with bad water coming out of the back - hum, show loyalty and bravery in front of you He looks like a male thief and a female prostitute behind his back, or is he vicious and vicious. How do you know it right away? You are about to show off your skills, and the other party gives you so many little tricks. If you are not careful, you will get disgraced. You When you first arrived, how can you tell who are good people and those who are loyal and good on the surface, but are actually full of viciousness?"
Xia Ya heard a bit of taste, and couldn't help but feel a little less angry, looking at Green: "What do you mean..."
"What I mean is very simple. If I come here and act like a hatred of evil, I am afraid that the real situation below will not be understood at all! I am alone in office, and I don't even have a reliable confidant around me. If The people here have the intention to deceive me, so I was blindfolded and blocked my ears, so I don't even want to know the real situation. Even if I wake up in the future, I'm afraid it will waste a lot of time. Therefore, it is better to simply —Self-contamination! To keep these local scoundrels off guard, I first have to pretend to be one of their kind.”
Green smiled bitterly: "I have done a lot of bad things these days. As soon as I came here, I deliberately put on a look of eagerness to get oil and water. At the beginning of taking office, the bribes sent from below, I will come here. I will not refuse, and accept all of them, so that the people below are relieved and not too defensive about me."
"Is there a bribe when you take office?" Xia Ya frowned: "You are just a battalion officer, who will give you money for a small battalion officer?"
"Hmph, if it is in the Central Standing Corps, of course not. But the garrison in such a place has already formed an inherent set of potential rules all the year round."
Green came alive and sat next to Xi Ya. He talked for a while, his mouth was a little dry, he grabbed a water bottle on the table and drank it, and then slowly explained to Xi Ya with his fingers: "I As soon as I came here, I put on the face of 'everyone earns money', and then I learned a lot of ways. The military system of this place in More County is almost rotten from the root! The empty army pays, almost an interest class group has formed! It is as small as a captain, as big as the former military commander, as well as the officers in the garrison in this county, the logistics and military supplies, etc., etc. Let me do the math for you! There is a full flag regiment in Moore County, which should be six battalions. First of all, the officials of the logistics quarters department will eat one battalion first! This is the rule! The logistics quartermaster is responsible for distributing military supplies and Military salaries and empty quotas can be hidden from others but not from them. Then the Military Law Office eats a battalion, which is also a rule. The following battalion officers share the quota for one battalion, and the flag officer of the flag regiment eats one battalion alone... In this way, in fact, the real number of a flag regiment is only two battalions... It is difficult to say how much combat effectiveness these two battalions can have. You have seen the soldiers here today, many of them. They are all the unemployed ruffians who were recruited nearby. Such people must have some kinship with these local officers, or they simply volunteered... Usually wearing a tiger skin, it is ok to blackmail the local civilians and go into battle. War? Then just don't count on it."
Xia Ya's head was as big as a fight when he heard it: "Both the military supply logistics and the military law department are openly short of money?"
"Of course." Green sneered: "This is not the end." He sneered: "The road to making money doesn't stop there."
He continued: "According to the imperial military law, whoever joins the army and joins the army and becomes a local garrison will be exempted from all taxes after enlisting in the army. The local garrison does not have to fight in the first place, and it is just to maintain local law and order on weekdays, and it is tax-free. You can scavenge the land with foxes and tigers, which naturally becomes a beauty in the eyes of many people. And the local garrison also regards this as a way to make money. Want to join the army? Easy to do! Just take the money, how much does an ordinary soldier cost, The price of a sergeant and the price of a team officer can be clearly marked! Even your predecessors worked harder, and even dared to sell the positions of the battalion officers under him! Every year, the money is received, and he is still the person in the next system. Sitting down and dividing the spoils, the rain and the dew are evenly exposed, and an interest group is formed, one prosperous, and one loss all lost! In this way, even if you want to fight these mice, you will not be able to start. If you show the chariots and horses to rectify, they will Just shrink your head, do you know who is the good guy and who is the bad guy? Don't try to figure it out for a year and a half, but in a year and a half, they unite and secretly give you a few tricks to let you You suffered two hardships, and maybe even caused a big disaster, and you were transferred directly. This kind of thing has not happened in the army. "
"That's why you came here." Xia Ya nodded.
"That's right." Green nodded and smiled bitterly: "You and I are not here to eat and wait to die. Since we are here, we want to do a good job. Then the armament of More County must be rectified! If we want to rectify, we must first understand the details of the situation here. In the system up and down, who are good people and who are traitors. As soon as I came here, I pretended to be a greedy guy. After a few attempts, the money was gone All comers refused, so they were accepted by them very quickly, and they were included in this system. The situation of the top and bottom was also clarified. Hmph, while I received the money, I recorded it one by one. In this local garrison military system in More County, who is rotten and who is excluded... I have already remembered seven or eight. I even deliberately let my subordinates do their best, looting in the city, that is, to put The chariots and horses are scraping money. This way, the people below have no fear. Some guys who were originally hidden have recently jumped out and made more money. I see these people in my eyes and remember them in my heart. .These mice have now paid the water, and when you come, you can close the net and catch these guys! Then use thunder to rectify the military affairs, and try to rectify the armaments in More County as soon as possible. After you and I let go of hands and feet, we can do great things!"
"Okay!" Xia slapped the table.
"And..." Greene smiled, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and sneered in a low voice: "These mice are fattened and slaughtered with one knife... They have scraped so many savings over the years, just to enrich the military expenses. I know the military budget is tight, and you don’t have much money in your hands. If you want to build a qualified army, you have to spend a lot of money. I know very well what the military budget in the county looks like… Hmph, let these guys jump right now Come on, they loot the money, and they will carry the bad name. When the time comes, you will sweep away the leaves in the autumn wind and destroy them all. First, you can enrich their military expenses with their looted wealth, and second, you can also gain popularity... "
Xia Ya was shocked when he heard this, stared at this Green, and felt a little cold in his heart: Damn, this Green, looking honest, turned out to be a ruthless character!
Green smiled slightly, saw the fear in Xia Ya's eyes, and said slowly: "Doing extraordinary things in extraordinary times, this method is not the right way, but we have to do something, and we must fight day and night, so we have to do some unconventional things. It's a means. It's a bit dishonest to use this method to make money, but... it's a last resort."
Damn... You get money and fame, and as for the black pot, you let these mice take it back... Green's hands are so fucking beautiful!
Xia Ya secretly remembered it in his heart, and it could be regarded as another skill.
"There is also a roster here. The first few pages are all the worms of the county's armament system. As for the last page, there are some people in the local army who were squeezed out by the worm groups of their colleagues. I want to come, since They were crowded out by those worms. I think they were upright people who were unwilling to join forces. I have secretly recorded the names of these people. In the future, after we rectify our armaments, we can all be promoted and employed. You and I are not familiar with each other here. , I don't play this game, I really can't, otherwise, I don't know how much trouble I will go through."
After such a conversation, Xia Ya had no grudges in his heart, bowed deeply to Green, and said sternly: "General Green, thank you! I didn't know the situation just now, and I was rude to you, um, I He is an ignorant boy, if you are angry, you can scold me a few times, and if you are still not relieved, just punch me a few times!"
Green laughed, looked at Xia Ya and said slowly: "You and I hit it off right away. Although we don't have a deep friendship, we can be regarded as sincere friends... Let's not talk about the name of 'General Green' in the future, I will be one of your subordinates from now on. It's just a battalion officer. The ranks in the army are very high, and the priority is the order from top to bottom. You must never have a title like this again! As for being angry with you... Of course I won't, you hate evil like hatred, and I am very happy. If you're not such a person, I won't follow you. Hit you... I don't dare."
Xia Ya smiled, and there was a hint of cunning on her innocent face: "I also know that you dare not hit me."
Immediately, the two laughed, sat down and talked carefully for a while, and made some detailed calculations about how to rectify the military in the future, how to close the net, and how to revive military affairs. At the end, Xiaya frowned and said, "It's easy to kill these mice, just grab them and cut them with a knife. But after the fight, there are so many vacancies up and down, where can I find so many people? And... this After rectifying the armament, in the future on my territory, naturally there will be no empty quotas. I want to fill the army, but where will the recruits be? After the fight, the top and bottom are empty. To pull the army up, you must first have a few shelves, at least a group of veterans must be filled in as a skeleton, and then…”
Both of them have worked in the elite troops and know the importance of veterans, but where can they go to find veterans now
Xiaya remembered the army captain in the small villages he passed by on the way, and said, "There seem to be some veterans in the local area. I met a village army captain on the way, who used to be the sixth of the guy in Ruhr. The people in the corps seem to still look a little bit old, but they are a little older and still injured... Alas, the imperial military law, these retired veterans are either too old or disabled and retired, and can no longer be used."
Green smiled: "You're too impatient, you shouldn't be too anxious to pull up a team. I didn't even think about pulling up a flag team. My idea is to seek refinement first! You can get a small amount of elites first and form them. For a battalion, we will train it well. When the training is complete, we will pull it out. It is located on the frontier, with the wildfire plain to the north. There are many gangs of horse thieves and thieves nearby. If you have seen blood in battle, this is considered a preliminary army. With a battalion as a foundation, you can choose the best among them to become low-level officers on this basis, build a shelf, and recruit more troops. It's time to build a flag regiment. In my opinion, it will take a year to complete this process. This is the first step. It takes a year to rebuild a flag regiment, and then the training will be followed. The military system of the garrison in this place is actually very flawed. Several battalions are stationed in various places, and the sand is scattered, which is not very useful at all. The second step is to gather the rebuilt troops in one place for easy drills, and then pull them out from time to time. A fight, let the new army see blood, anyway, this is the border, if it really can't, we will pull the team to the wildfire to fight those black tribe gangs, destroy one, but also capture a lot of loot and enrich the military expenses, even if it is Fight to support the war, so that in another year, almost this flag regiment can be counted as a veteran, and even if it really goes through war in the future, it will barely be able to pull into the front line, and it will not collapse as soon as it reaches the battlefield."
two years...
Xia Ya sighed. Although he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed, he was used to seeing elites like the Rodriguez Cavalry Regiment. Elite troops. However, he also understands that this matter cannot be rushed. In two years, he has barely trained the army, and it is far from being as elite as the Rodriguez Cavalry Regiment.
The two talked for a long time before Green left.
Xiaya is officially stationed in the garrison.
When his new armament chief arrived, many officials from the local garrison immediately came to see him, but Xia Ya had already negotiated a plan with Green. The first thing he did was to announce that he was tired from running all the way and that he had not seen any guests for the time being. Immediately, all the old servants and handymen in the garrison mansion were dismissed, and none of them remained.
In the garrison mansion, he did not check the roster of military documents, the inventory of military supplies, etc., left by his predecessor. All the officials in the garrison mansion were originally uneasy. We are a little worried, I am afraid that this new armament chief is an unreasonable guy, and everyone's fortunes may be in danger in the future.
Seeing that after Xia Ya came, he closed the door and saw no guests, and there was no movement. Even the fake ledgers that had been prepared, they didn't even look at them, which made the gang murmur in their hearts.
During this night, the brains of the garrison in Denzel City started a secret series gathering, and the worms up and down secretly discussed how to deal with this new boss. In the end, a consensus was reached: first use money to pave the way, if the adult is willing to accept the money, then things will be easy to handle, if not, it means that someone is here to disturb the trouble, then everyone does not need to be polite, secretly give him a few A ruthless set of drills, let him have a hard time.
The next day, the battalion officer of the second battalion of the local garrison flag regiment in More County was promoted. An old man who has worked in the local garrison army in More County for many years. When I went to the garrison, I asked to see Xia Ya. At the same time, I brought two followers and drove a carriage. The carriage was full of gifts, which naturally contained some yellow and white things. This time, in order to welcome the new officer who took office, the local garrison system in More County must have bloodshed once. This amount of money is really not small, but everyone thinks of spending money to buy peace for many years to come. People are against it. If you can get rid of the new adult Xiaya, then everyone can continue to make a fortune for many years in the future. Is the money spent... there will always be time to earn it back.
As a result, the battalion officer went to visit Lord Charya, and after he came to the garrison to ask for a meeting, after a short time inside, Dotolo went out on behalf of Charya to answer: Lord Armament Commander was tired from the journey and couldn't see the guests, so he just spread the word, "Everyone is interested, thank you. already."
However, although people didn't see it, the gift and money sent by Mr. Xia did not refuse, and accepted it according to the order. I heard that Mr. Char's entourage, the servant named Dodoro, was very polite, saying that Mr. Char was very happy.
Although this answer made everyone have some doubts in their hearts, they were relieved a lot.
No matter what... if he's willing to take the money, there's still room for things to happen.
It's just that we don't see you behind closed doors... Could it be that we have given less money
This group of people gathered in secret again to discuss, and in the end, everyone made a decision: Since the money is too little, then give more!
In the end, everyone negotiated properly, and simply took out all the income for a year and smashed this adult down at one time! ! As long as everyone keeps the current situation, the official position is still there, and the army will still be in the future. Make a fortune... Money can always be earned back!
As a result, that night, the same battalion officer also came to visit with two followers in a carriage, but the bribe sent out this time was worth five thousand gold coins!
This sum of money was thrown out, and it really paid off. The battalion officer is said to have only brought the gift in. He stood outside the door for only half an hour, and the servant of Dodo came out with a smile on his face, and invited him into the garrison very enthusiastically, saying yes Mr. Shaya received him.
The battalion officer finally saw Xia Ya, and it is said that he sat down and talked for a while. This Lord Xia Ya is not as difficult to deal with as imagined, he is rough and bold, and he looks young, not like He looks too scheming, obviously very happy to get the money, and had a good conversation with the battalion officer for a while, and asked about some local armaments. sent him out. He also said that when he first came to More County, he still needed to rely on the support of his local veteran colleagues to stabilize the situation.
The news came back, and all the people in the local garrison system immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, the people below were moved by the wind. Since the adult was relieved, the next morning, people from all walks of life came to the door to ask to see him, but in the end, everyone was in vain!
In the garrison, this Lord Xia Ya has disappeared! The only thing left is to say that this morning, I left the garrison with three of my lord's personal accomplices. Later, I received news from the city gate that the lord left the city as soon as the city gate opened early in the morning. I heard that it seems to be going in the direction of Wildfire Town.
※※※
Xia, with Dodoro Philip and Sharba, galloped all the way to the north, and soon crossed the border and entered the area of the wildfire.
This time it was really back to his hometown. Xia Ya looked at the flat wilderness around her and felt at ease, and she couldn't help shouting a few times right away.
When they came out this time, several people were fully prepared, one person and two horses, and a lot of money and equipment, all the way north, towards Wildfire Town.
Now that I have made a plan with Green, let the worms in the local garrison in More County jump up, wait for all the fish to surface, and finally close the net, then I might as well take the opportunity to leave for a few days and take advantage of this. For a while, I took Dodo Luo to the Zaku native tribe of Wildfire to look for the magic kiss taro, and did the most important thing first. After waiting, it is almost time to close the network.
Wildfire Town is not far from Denzel City. If you go fast, you will arrive in one day. Several people go out in the early morning without stopping on the road. They sleep in the wilderness at night. of the city walls.
Seeing Wildfire Town again, and seeing the mottled city walls built with bricks burned from the unique red soil of Wildfire Town, Xi Ya's heart felt hot when he saw it.
On the other hand, Todoro next to him sighed—the poor magician, his tragic fate, to be more careful, happened to be in this place, since he met Char...
The four galloped all the way to the city wall of Wildfire Town. After the last war, the Byzantine army retreated, and Wildfire Town became anarchy again, and because the war had just ended, no mercenary gangs occupied it, so this For a while, there was no city lord in Yehuo Town. Xia Ya and his group came here and saw that there were no soldiers under the city gate that collected city gate tax, Xia Ya smiled, remembering that when he started from here, the last thing he had in his arms. I have paid the city gate tax for every copper plate, and I have no money... Fortunately, I met this guy, Dodo Luo, who robbed his robe by himself and sold it for some money...
When I came to the gate of Wildfire Town, it was obvious that after the war, the prosperous climate of the past had returned to the place. There were many caravans and some people who looked like mercenary warriors wearing weapons under the gate of the city, but it was orderly.
Xia Ya and others slowed down and were preparing to enter the city with the flow of people...
Suddenly, a sound like a muffled thunder sounded next to it!
The voice seemed to carry infinite excitement and excitement. A green figure suddenly rushed out from the roadside like a leopard, jumped in front of Xia Yama, and hugged the horse's head. The sturdy body almost knocked Xiaya straight off the horse.
"Ooke Oke!! You! You! I finally waited for you!! Wife! Wife! I want a wife! Bring my wife back!!"
