The rise of the poor

Chapter 1382 Wei Guogong's Thanks
"Nephew Zihou, come here"

Zhu Pingan bid farewell to Hu Zongxian with his colleagues in the criminal punishment department, and after a few steps along the street in front of the patrol office, he heard a familiar voice in front of him. Zhu Pingan looked up and saw Linhuai Hou waving to him.

Next to Marquis Lin Huai is an official who is a few years older than Marquis Lin Huai. He is two circles younger than Marquis Lin Huai. He is wearing a military officer's uniform with a brave leopard embroidered on it. This is the third-rank military officer's uniform. .

The two were two grades behind, but they hooked each other up, talking and laughing, and seemed to have a good personal relationship.

Well, this official is probably Wei Guogong. Zhu Ping'an guessed in his heart.

Zhu Pingan confessed his crimes to the master of Taiwan, Chu Xiong and others, and the others also noticed that Marquis Linhuai greeted Zhu Pingan, asked the identity of Marquis Lin Huai, nodded with a smile, and signaled Zhu Pingan not to go. It doesn't matter.

"Uncle, who is this lord?" Zhu Pingan bid farewell to Ni Ti and the others, bowed his hands before Linhuaihou, and asked the identity of the person beside him.

"Hehe, nephew, I'm going to introduce you, this is Wei Guogong." Marquis Linhuai introduced with a smile.

Sure enough, it was Wei Guogong, just like what I guessed.

After being introduced by Marquis Linhuai, Zhu Pingan bowed his hands to greet Wei Guogong with a smile, "I pay my respects to Wei Guogong."

"Hehe, Zihou is called by that name. I and Linhuaihou are friends of the general and irreversible friends. We are as close as brothers. Zihou, you are the nephew of Linhuaihou, so you are also my nephew. If your nephew Zihouxian doesn't mind, you can just call me uncle." Wei Guogong said to Zhu Ping'an with a smile.

"Ping'an is what you can ask for, and see uncle." Zhu Ping'an smiled and greeted him as his nephew.

"Hehe, good nephew." Wei Guogong smiled brilliantly.

"Thief, don't think that just because of your relationship, you can ignore your gift of thanks." Marquis Linhuai bumped Wei Guogong with his shoulder.

"What kind of thief, I'm just a reference, I don't want to thank you, am I that kind of person?!" Hearing Linhuaihou's words, Wei Guogong couldn't help but blushed, like Guan Gong, and replied with a stern neck .

"Hehe." Marquis Linhuai let out a hehe, and rolled his squinted eyes.

"Ahem, nephew, last time you gave Marquis Linhuai your insights on adding warships, but he was self-styled and stubborn. It wasn't because Bo Le didn't know the insights of your nephew. I was different. I was a nephew at that time. I am overwhelmed by his insightful insights. My nephew’s advice hits the nail on the head. He pointed out the problems existing in the current navy and put forward practical suggestions. It would be a pity if such golden words were discarded. So I accepted my nephew's suggestion, and suggested to the Holy Master Shangshu to add warships, and the Holy Master really agreed to the suggestion."

Wei Guogong coughed and explained to Zhu Pingan.

"It's an honor for Ping An to be adopted by Uncle." Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

"Marquis Linhuai, look at my nephew, and then at you, are you sorry, my nephew has a much wider heart than you."

When Wei Guogong heard this, his face was overjoyed, and he couldn't help bumping Lin Huaihou back with his shoulder, and joked with a smile.

"Don't talk about these things, what about thanking you?" Marquis Linhuai stretched out his fat paws and pushed Wei Guogong away.

"Cough cough, nephew, I heard from your uncle that you are in charge of the military equipment in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the criminal punishment department, and that you lead the militia. Uncle doesn't have any good gifts for you, so I will give you some supplies needed for the military equipment."

Wei Guogong coughed and said to Zhu Ping'an.

The military equipment is good, I like it, Zhu Pingan heard this, and thanked him, "Thank you uncle for sending charcoal in a timely manner."

"Don't use junk to deal with us." Marquis Linhuai interjected.

"You think I'm like you, what kind of obsolete items are used to deal with Zihou, the materials I give to Zihou are all new products."

Wei Guogong raised his chin and satirized Linhuai Hou, emphasizing that what he gave Zhu Ping'an were all new products.

"What new product?!" Marquis Linhuai asked.

"Naturally, what nephew needs, I will provide." Wei Guogong said richly.

"Okay, that's what you said." Marquis Linhuai slapped his hands, and then said to Zhu Pingan, "Nephew Zihou, it's rare for Duke Wei to be so generous. If you need something now, just ask."

Last time, the Marquis of Linhuai gave himself a batch of obsolete military uniforms, spears, swords, longbows, damaged armor, and three hundred blunderbusses. What he lacks now are tents, armor, and artillery.
Zhu Pingan thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said to Wei Guogong, "Uncle, the imperial court's payment of food and salaries is limited, and it is difficult to maintain. At present, our militia still lacks tents, armor, firecrackers, artillery, and food and grass."

"Ahem, nephew, it's okay to talk about firecrackers, but there's nothing to do with cannons. It's all set by the imperial court."

When Wei Guogong heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Hey, then why did you just say with a shy old face that you are lacking something, and you will give it."

Marquis Linhuai laughed without losing the opportunity.

"Then you are better than you who only give out products to nephews." Wei Guogong retorted, and then said with a rich and powerful voice, "Although the artillery is hindered by the court's quota, I can't do anything about it, but I can do other things."

"Nephew, I heard that you want to form a militia of 1000 people. Well, how about it, I will allocate one hundred sets of camp tents and one hundred pairs of armor with you from the army. I have no choice but to give you two hundred guns. .”

Wei Guo openly promised Zhu Pingan.

"As an elder, you have used Zihou's good strategy, and you are ashamed to speak about this little thing."

The Marquis of Linhuai sneered, urging Duke Wei to bring out some good things.

"My things are all new, the tent is new, the armor is also new, and the firecracker is also new. They are all new products recently distributed by the Military Bureau. Oh, yes, nephew, I will give you ten stones of gunpowder again. "Wei Guogong raised his chin and said.

"Well, the new product distributed by the Bing Zhan Bureau is reasonable." Linhuai Hou heard that it was a new product distributed by the Bing Zhan Bureau, and nodded.Although not all products produced by Bingzhan Bureau are high-quality goods, they are all high-quality goods.

"Thank you, Uncle, thank you Uncle." Zhu Pingan cupped his hands first to thank the benefactor, Wei Guogong, and then to Linhuaihou, who helped to settle the matter.

"Nephew, you are welcome. Today, Japanese pirates are rampant. Helping the Zihou militia is to share the worries of the sage and solve the problems of the people." Wei Guogong replied with a smile, and then encouraged, "Although it is a militia, Zihou should do his best. If you have any problems in the middle, feel free to come to me and Marquis Linhuai, we have been in the army for many years, and we still have some experience in the army."

"Thank you, Uncle." Zhu Pingan thanked again, "From then on, I will often ask you, Uncle, for advice."

"I'll go back and make arrangements. Zihou can bring enough people to Zhenwu Camp tomorrow to collect supplies such as camp tents, armor and firecrackers." At the time of parting, Wei Guogong and Zhu Pingan agreed on the time and place to pick up the supplies.

"Thank you uncle." Zhu Pingan thanked again.
