Han Xiufeng thought that he was indeed a person who was not afraid of death. Not only was he not afraid of death himself, but he also planned to let his family members even let other people's family members die with him. He could only ask, "Master Xu, how much does it cost to donate a sixth-grade bag?"

"Is that right? Money is something outside of yourself. You are only in your twenties. It's time to make a fortune. What's the point of asking for so much money?" Xu Ying patted Han Xiufeng on the shoulder and then said: "To raise military funds, the court has opened a new donation case, which can be discounted by 20%. If you just donate a sixth-rank top dress, it won't take much money. But you not only donate top dress, but you also have to sign the vacancies that Li Changjing has freed, so that all the family members can send them. If it is not enough, I will find a way for you."

That was four thousand taels of white silver, not four hundred taels.

Han Xiufeng was really reluctant to let it go, and the lack of agency was not only not a fat lack, but might lose his life. Just as he didn't know what to do, Xu Ying actually sighed: "It's the advantage of being an official in Sanzhou. If you were in Jiangdu, Yizhen and other counties, even if you had this opportunity, you could only be a seventh-rank magistrate. If you didn't see that you were honest and diligent in your work, how could you be a ninth-rank inspector who was donated from?"

Han Xiufeng secretly scolded you for wanting to kill me, but I still want to thank you. There is no such reason in the world. But these complaints can only be hidden in your stomach. If you really dare to post them, it will be very troublesome even if you let him see them. You can only pretend to be excited and bow and say, "Thank you Mr. Xu to support me."

"No need to thank you. I send someone to help you clean up your room and go to rest early. There is still a lot of things tomorrow."

"Master Xu, the official has something to report."

"What's the matter?"

"As Mr. Xu, you said just now, the Xiaguan summoned Zaoli bowmen, the Green Camp Fensive Soldiers and the Qingshen Towns under the jurisdiction of Hai'an Inspection Department to investigate and smuggle salt. Although he defeated the private owl and intercepted more than one million kilograms of private salt, it was a lucky draw. After this battle, the Xiaguan felt the pain of no one being available. When he thought that Hai'an was the main waterway for Huai salt transportation, there would definitely be other private owls to try the law, so he persuaded Hai'an, Qutang and Baimi towns to train the three towns of the three gentry with the help of the gentry."

"You have trained the third troupe of the township heroes?" Xu Ying asked in surprise.

"Mr. Xu, don't you know? The official reported to Mr. Zhang. Not only did Mr. Zhang agree, he also helped the official compile eight group rules."

"I just moved to Taizhou in the morning and haven't had time to ask about this yet. But it's not too late to know now. Let me first talk about how many rural heroes there are in these three regiments?"

"Each regiment has about fifty people, and the three regiments have a total of 162 people. However, the supervisors and licensors in each regiment are local scholars, and only more than 130 people can fight."

"Are there any weapons?"

"Yes, there are spears, machetes and other weapons. During the investigation of anti-smuggling salt, more than ten bird guns were seized."

Xu Ying, who was worried about the lack of soldiers, suddenly became interested and stared at Han Xiufeng and asked, "How long have you been practicing?"

Han Xiufeng bowed and said, "I started practicing on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I have been practicing for more than half a month. The officials dare not slacken. They checked them almost every day and practiced the formation three times together."

"Brother Han, Brother Han, I didn't expect you to be a soldier! Well, so good. Although there are fewer young men in the village, they are always stronger than the young people who were temporarily recruited!" Xu Ying became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he grabbed Han Xiufeng's arm: "Brother Han, it seems that you have to go back to Hai'an."

From "Inspector Han" to "Brother Han", even the title has changed. How could Han Xiufeng not know what he was thinking? He couldn't help asking: "Master Xu, are you planning to let the lower officials transfer the village hero to Taizhou to defend the city?"

“That’s right.”

"Master Xu is not that the Xiaguan is afraid of death, but that the Xiaguan thinks it is not appropriate to transfer the Santuan Township Gong to Taizhou to defend the city now."

"What's wrong?" Xu Ying's face changed again.

Han Xiufeng said helplessly: "Mr. Xu, the subordinate is only a ninth-rank inspector. The Hai'an Inspection Department has accumulated a total of only a few red paper money (office funds) in a year. How can I get the money to train the village heroes? The reason why I can train the village gentry is entirely due to the fact that they understand the righteousness and help convince the village agreements. Baozheng and Chief A, and Baozheng and Chief A will convince the people again, and finally they can train them.

The practice is carried out every day, and every few days together, the yamen does not pay any money or food, and even the young and strong people have to prepare their own weapons such as spears and machetes. Therefore, the three gangs of township warriors can help the people in Hai'an to defend the people in Taizhou, but it is not easy to transfer them to Taizhou. To put it a depressing word, if the officials really force them to come to Taizhou, they will probably run away before they even arrived at Jiangyan."

Seeing Xu Ying's unhappy look, Han Xiufeng said again: "When he decided to train the village heroes, the gentry made three rules with the officials. When the village heroes were trained, they could only help the officials to protect the territory and protect the people, and they should not be transferred to suppress the bandits outside. When they came in the afternoon, the gentry who knew that the peaceful bandits had already been in danger in Jiangning, Yangzhou and even Taizhou were in danger, talked a lot to the officials."

"What did they say?"

"Not only did they tell the officials, they also wrote a confession to Mr. Xu to take a look." Han Xiufeng took out Dean Gu's calligraphy from his arms and respectfully presented it.

I have to say that Dean Gu’s handwriting is well written and the article is well done.

What is "It is possible to adjust skills during the day, but it is not possible to control the city outside", what is "The soldiers guarding the city have special responsibilities. If they are transferred to guard the courage, they will be responsible for the generals to entrust them to bravely. Since then, people are afraid and it is difficult for other villages to recruit them. How can people fight for themselves and guard their families?" What is "Everything is in accordance with human feelings, they will unite themselves, and if they violate human feelings, they will be disheartened. If they do not want to do so, they will be able to prevent them from being disintegrated."

Xu Ying was not in the mood to appreciate Dean Gu's handwriting. After reading it halfway, he couldn't read it anymore. He put down Chen Qingbiao and said with a gloomy face: "It's really a woman's opinion. Don't they know that there will be no end to the collapse of the nest!"

"Honest Master Xu calmed down. They had never seen the world, and they did have their difficulties. If the hard-tuning was not only impossible, the young and strong would not even believe them," Han Xiufeng made up his mind before coming, as long as he didn't go into the city, and said carefully: "But the Xiaguan had already figured out how to deal with it on the way to Taizhou."

"What are you going to deal with it?" Xu Ying stared at him and asked.

"Don't the third regiment have to practice together every few days? After the Xiaguan planned to go back, he transferred Hai'an and Qutang 2 regiments to Baimi to practice together with Baimi, and then found an excuse not to go back. First, stabilize the rural heroes in Baimi. Baimi is so close to Taizhou. If the bandits really attack, as long as Mr. Xu, you give the order, the Xiaguan will lead the village heroes of the third regiment to Taizhou to defend the city. As long as you enter the city, the village heroes will have to fight the bandits to the death with Xiaguan!"

If someone else said this, Xu Ying would never believe it easily.

But Han Xiufeng is not someone else, but a newborn calf who dared to summon young and strong men to fight with private owls as soon as he took office. Besides, he just promised to let him take office as a state. Xu Ying directly thought that Han Xiufeng wanted to make achievements with him. Not only did he believe it, he murmured: "This is a solution, but there are too few brave men in the village. Brother Han, can you think of another way and practice more while the bandits are not up to speed up."
