"Brother Yang Hu, please give everyone their wages, and get us brothers to buy gifts for our families."
"Ok, it's done right away."
Yang Hu happily agreed as he brought his brothers away. Hearing that they could still get their wages, the brothers became even more happy, they continued to play with each other, and followed Yang Hu to get their wages. Yang Lin suddenly thought of two things and called Yang Hu back.
"Yang Hu, you must bring everyone back safely. When I return home, there are three things I need to do. First, bring the Madam and the Young Miss here, and the Yang Family Villa will leave it to Yang Fa and Yang Cheng to handle. Secondly, ask Yang Song and Yang Bai to recruit another one thousand five hundred young men from the Yang Family Villa. Three is to bring the Big Auntie over. She has worked hard her entire life, as juniors, we should be able to let her enjoy the blessings.
The Big Auntie that Yang Lin was talking about was his mother, causing Yang Hu's heart to heat up. His father and the two brothers had left and his mother was very lonely at home. Seeing Yang Lin say this, his heart was even more grateful. He cupped his fists and greeted Yang Lin.
"Thank you Big Brother. I guarantee that I will complete the mission."
Yang Lei and He Xiong who were staying in Guangyang County and fishing yang County were very depressed recently. Just as they were bringing prisoners to clear the wasteland and manage the citizens, and when their parents were satisfied, the imperial government sent Tian Kai and Yan Gang over. Since they did not have Yang Lin's permission, they did not know what to do, so they had to let Tian Kai and Yan Gang stay in the taiwai Palace, and immediately sent some people to deliver the message to Yang Lin.
Yang Lei and He Xiong were left behind after receiving the Commandant of Youzhou's orders. Their temporary positions were as County Governor long history s and they controlled the troops from the two counties. According to the system of Darky Court, Border County had its own long history, which was responsible for pacifying the rebellion and defending against foreign invasion.
Tian Kai was also a martial general, so he brought four servants with him to the Guangyang County to take over. The moment Tian Kai arrived at Guang Yang, he could see that all the officials in the second level of Guangyang County were recruited by Yang Lei. Although they were not appointed by the imperial court, they all held power. No one paid any attention to Tian Kai, and continued to do what they should do. Yang Lei was the one in charge, and it was as if Tian Kai was not there.
But Tian Kai was not someone who was easy to deal with. Seeing that no one paid attention to him, a taiwai, he immediately could not sit still. Tian Kai also knew that Yang Lei had five thousand elite soldiers, fifty thousand Wasteland soldier, and a powerful Youzhou Army behind him. On one hand, he was trying to rope Yang Lei in, on the other hand, he was pasting a notice to recruit yamen runners.
"Lord Taishang, the taiwai Palace already has available yamen runners, why do we have to recruit them? Moreover, all the yamen runners were recruited by the long history Lord, Yang Lei. They were fired without any fault, so I'm afraid this matter cannot be resolved peacefully. "
When he saw that Tian Kai had posted the recruitment notice, he immediately understood what Tian Kai meant. He obviously knew that there was a powerful Youzhou Army behind Yang Lei, and even the Liu Family's taiwai had the intention to befriend him, so he did not wish for Tian Kai, who had just arrived, to have a falling out with the Youzhou Army.
"Who said that they would fire those yamen runners? There are too few yamen runners in Guangyang, This Official only wants to add a few more."
Hearing that County Li Mu was against recruiting for the yamen runner, Tian Kai could not help but become even more furious. It was because these yamen runners were recruited by Yang Lei, that when Tian Kai was unable to order them to do so, he decided to recruit another batch. No one in the Guangyang County spoke for him, what meaning did he have in becoming a taiwai?
"Lord Taishang, Guangyang County has suffered from wanton looting, causing the government offices to be empty. The citizens' residences were empty, and the current officials, county soldiers, yamen runners, and Wasteland soldier s were all supported by Youzhou Army. "Now that you're recruiting so many yamen runners, where are you going to gather the food for them?"
Even the fresh rations were in Yang Lei's hands. It could be said that, without Yang Lei's permission, it would be difficult for Tian Kai to obtain a single grain in the Guangyang County, and even if he managed to recruit a batch of yamen runners, how many days would he be able to last?
"How hard is that!?" Wait until this year's autumn harvest, each county newly collected this year's land tax, their food salary will be there? We Guangyang County cannot just rely on Youzhou Army to pay, right? "
Tian Kai did not believe it, a dignified Lord Taishang, as long as they recruited a group of yamen runners, how could they be afraid of not being able to collect the land tax? Although the Youzhou Army was strong, she couldn't control the Guangyang County. As long as she didn't do anything wrong, the others wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
"Lord Taishang, my County was sent by Master Wei You of Shu County. There is no need for Master to decide. However, regardless of whether you use me or not, I have to remind you this once, the majority of Youzhou Army are natives of Youzhou, if you want to go against them, it will be difficult to establish yourself in Youzhou! "
Seeing that Tian Kai did not listen to his words and was even going to fight with Youzhou Army, County Li Mu looked at him and spoke with a slightly more serious tone. He bowed towards Tian Kai, then turned and left the Main Hall of taiwai, leaving Tian Kai in a daze.
Any bright eyed Guang Yang could see that the taiwai Palace's recruitment process was related to the new taiwai's Tian Kai and Yang Lei. Who would dare to be a bailiff? After the notice had been posted for a few days, there were very few people who signed up, making Tian Kai very gloomy.
However, there were some who were not afraid of death and went to the taiwai Palace to register as yamen runners. After ten days, more than thirty people finally registered. On this day, Tian Kai ordered his servants to gather the thirty odd people that were hired as yamen runners. He wanted to look over them personally.
When he arrived at the entrance of the taiwai Palace, he discovered that these people who had registered were not good people. Tian Kai was also a martial general, so he was clear about the importance of a bailiff's quality. However, these thirty or so fellows were just like flowing water, and did not have the qualifications to be a bailiff at all.
"Let's try it out first."
Tian Kai was helpless. The young and strong Guang Yang had either chosen to become a Wasteland soldier, or he directly sent himself to a Youzhou Army. The rest of the young and strong took in the fame of a Youzhou Army, and didn't dare to come and serve in the yamen.
"What's your name?" "Do what?"
Tian Kai pointed to a tall and sturdy young man, and asked with a stern voice. As a military general, he had a good eye for people. Amongst the candidates, only this big guy looked strong and capable.
"Reporting to the lord, this one is called Zhang Ye. I'm here to farm."
"Do you know martial arts?"
"A little."
This Zhang Ye looked like a shrewd person, but he did not seem to be flustered when he saw a high ranking official like Lord Taishang. He hurriedly stepped forward to reply. He did know a bit about martial arts, but he did not tell the truth about one thing. He was not a farmer at all, but a rogue in the Guangyang City.
"From today onwards, you are the class head of Guangyang yamen runners."
"Thank you Lord Taishang."
Zhang immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed three times. Being able to become an official class head of the taiwai Palace was a beautiful thing that he didn't even dare dream of. He was even thinking if his ancestors' tombs were smoking, and the steamed bun that was falling from the sky actually smashed onto his head.
Taking the list of names that his subordinates had obtained, Yang Lei realised that these people were all famous rascals from different counties in Guangyang City. Many of them had been punished by Yang Lei before, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry in his heart. However, he still endured the anger in his heart. For Yang Lin's sake, he had to be careful.
Yang Lei was too lazy to argue with Tian Kai, he moved his office space to the army camp, and all the matters concerning the Guangyang County, as well as the people's complaints, came to the army camp. Yang Lei was actually the leader of the army, so Tian Kai could only stare angrily at him.
Although he had nothing to do, he still stood up very tiredly. Since he had nothing to do after nightfall, he called for a few of the yamen runners, then went to find some of his original friends, Wang Shi, Liu Jin and the others to drink.
Now that you have entered the yamen of taiwai and have become a class head, you must not forget your brothers. If there is a chance, we can also help out our brothers. "
After drinking a few more cups, the few of them started bragging. When Tian Kai recruited the yamen runners, Wang Shi also registered. Initially, he also wanted to get himself an iron rice bowl, but it was a pity that his figure was too frail, so Tian Kai did not take a fancy to him. Now that he saw his old friend doing well, he couldn't help but feel a little displeased.
"Ai, what kind of job is this? There's nothing happening all day long. "You brothers shouldn't ask around outside. If there's anyone who wishes to fight, bring them to our Lord Tian and have them give us some flowers to show their filial piety. How can we forget about your benefits?"
The Zhang who was always messing around on the streets had become a class head, but he had not made a single profit. Seeing Wang Shi envious of her, she was also filled with pain. But when he said that, that was enough to wake up the person in his dreams. Wang Shi's body was weak, but his brain was working, and he immediately thought of something.
"Big Brother Zhang, you don't have to say it, it's really a good thing. is dead, and his two sons, Li Cheng and Li Guan, have split up the property. But we have long heard that the Liu's carpenter's son, Liu Shun, is also the Tycoon Lee's son, and Liu Shun's mother, Xiao Feng, is the Tycoon Lee's maidservant. Whenhe married into the Liu's carpenter, she was already pregnant, and gave birth to Liu Shun in less than half a year. Now we will urge the Liu's carpenter and let that brat complain. "As long as it's a lawsuit, we can do whatever we want to clear it up. How can we be afraid of not having your filial piety?"
He had heard of the Liu's carpenter's situation before, so no one knew if it was true or false. Who cares? As long as Liu's carpenter is urged to complain, the two sons of Tycoon Lee will come to court. This will benefit the brothers.
"It is indeed a good idea, quickly go find Liu's carpenter."
Liu's carpenter went to the villages to look for work, of course he knew Wang Shi, Liu Jin and the other famous people of Guangyang County. He was sitting at home today, and when he saw Wang Shi, Liu Jin and the others looking for trouble with him, he thought that they were looking for him.
"Masters, what can I do for you?"
"Please come out your wife, we have something to tell her."
Wang Shi knew that Liu's carpenter was an honest man. Even if he told him, he wouldn't be able to be a family member, so as to not waste his breath on this Liu's carpenter. And Xiao Feng was a girl who came from large family, he had much more experience than Liu's carpenter, and this Liu's carpenter usually listened to him.
