"Thank you so much to Chang Ning Wei and Xianggong Su for wiping out the Black Mountain bandits and avenging the lives of thirteen people in my farm!"

Su Ze now understood the purpose of Sun Dianshi's visit. It turned out that he came to express his gratitude.

The news of the Changning Guard's suppression of the Black Mountain bandits has spread. As a county official, Dianshi must be well-informed. This can be regarded as indirectly avenging Sun Dianshi, so it is natural for him to come and express his gratitude.

Changning Wei frankly handed over the gift, and Sun Dianshi continued:

"Nowadays, the southeast is not at peace. My village has suffered two disasters in the past few years."

After saying that, the shrewd Sun Dianshi looked at Su Ze's face. He already knew from Lin Xianyang that Su Ze, the Changning Guard, could take the majority of the responsibility now, and it was Su Ze who gave the order to rescue Beishan Village.

Seeing Su Ze's expressionless expression, Sun Dianshi continued: "But with Changning Guards to protect our safety, I feel relieved from now on."

Seeing that Su Ze still had no expression, Sun Dianshi said:

"I came here this time not only for my own village. The owners of the other two villages that were harmed by the Black Mountain Bandit this time asked me to come to Changning Guard, hoping that Lin Baihu could take care of them."

Su Ze suddenly understood the purpose of Sun Dianshi's visit. It turned out that he was paying protection money.

Sure enough, Sun Dianshi took out another brocade bag and opened it to find two twenty-taels of silver.

Sun Dianshi held up his hands and said:

"This is our donation to support Ningwei's military training. From now on, it can be made an annual practice. Anyone who relies on the army to dispatch troops will naturally donate money!"

Su Ze understood what Sun Dianshi meant. The three farms near them paid forty taels of silver a year to the Changning Guard as protection fees. If the guards troops were really dispatched, they would pay more.

Su Ze was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect that even when Chang Ning Wei was accepting donations, someone still came to donate.

However, this deal is also very cost-effective, with a protection fee of forty taels a year, and if you really do it, there will be additional money.

Su Ze thought for a while and said: "I, Chang Ningwei, only deal with suppressing bandits and fighting against Japanese invaders. We don't care about the other disputes between your three farms."

"That's natural!"

Su Ze thought for a while and then said: "I also talked with the Chen family chief of Beishan Village a few days ago. During the slack season, the Chen family sent ten young men to our Changning Guard for training. You three Zhuangzi can also send people.

Get a joint defense team."

"We don't expect the joint defense team to kill the enemy. We just need daily patrols to prevent the Black Mountain thieves from leaving the mountain without any news."

Sun Dianshi immediately said: "Sir, you must have thought carefully! Sun, the two villagers, cannot guarantee that our Sun family farm will definitely have someone!"

As expected of the Master of Lifang Dianshi, Sun Dianshi’s words make people feel comfortable listening to them.

But this guy can fight with Xu Shisheng in the county government and still have the upper hand. He is also an old fox.

Now the interests of this guy and Changning Guard are the same. King Lu wants to land and unite the surrounding forces. This is Su Ze's anti-Japanese plan.

After the main things have been discussed, the next step is naturally for the guests and the host to enjoy themselves.

Sun Dianshi also heard that Chen Moqun and He Liangjun had come to Changningwei a few days ago. He was even more respectful to Su Ze and said on the spot that he would donate some paper and brushes.

After sending Sun Dianshi away, Su Ze took Lin Xianyang and asked him what happened after he went to the county government to report.

Lin Xianyang was appointed as a clerk in the county government. He was a military guard, and Baizhi County assigned him to the military depot.

The military depot in Nanping County is rather awkward. Apart from Lin Xianyang, there are only two clerks and four assistant clerks.

The reason is also very simple. There are no soldiers and horses to control in Nanping County.

The affairs of the Yanping Guard are under the jurisdiction of the Dusi Yamen and the Magistrate Yamen in the provincial capital, while the Haiwei such as Changning Guard are under the jurisdiction of the Fujian Haidao Yamen and the Japanese-controlled General Si Yamen.

The soldiers and horses that Nanping County can manage, apart from Li Hu's minzhuang, are only the military and horse stations that convey military information, and the rest are the Chengdan who guard the city gates.

However, the power of the barracks was small, and the powerful people did not want to be assigned to the barracks. The two old clerks were also simple people, which is the same as the marginal departments of the yamen today.

The barracks is good. The city defense map and pass map of Nanping County are all stored in the barracks. When there is a rebellion in the future, Lin Xianyang will be in the barracks to provide internal support. Nanping County can be easily conquered.

I just had a few words with Lin Xianyang, and another official came over to send a message, saying that Lin Mojun had something to ask him to go to Baihu Station.

Su Ze helplessly said to Lin Xianyang:

"I'll go see Baihu first."

"Brother Aze is busy with work. I went to see my father and nephew and then returned to the county town."

Why did Lin Mojun call him to go to Baihu Station? Could it be that the sea is not peaceful again?
