Chapter 35 The gap between guards and guards

After walking out of the Blue Bird Bofang, Yuan Ling stretched his waist.

The guard behind him brought bags of Tongbao into the carriage.

These free guards almost all become porters, and they are responsible for carrying hundreds of kilograms of Tongbao every day.

In the largest red light district in Chang'an, Yuan Ling ranks above Malaysia and couldn't help but patrol the streets and alleys.

All kinds of bells and swallows, girls smearing thick powder, shouting outside the window.

The madams on both sides of the street were also trying hard to greet the pedestrians on the street.

All kinds of high-ranking officials, scholars and scholars, and groups of fireworks and willow alleys.

In this era, group visits to prostitutes is a fashion.

Yuan Ling glanced at him a few times and felt very bored.

Most of the geishas who attract customers at the window are vulgar fans. How could a truly famous prostitute do such a loss of value?

As Yuan Ling, who had privately raised a team of singers in his house, these vulgar fans are really not eye-catching.

At this time, a group of people appeared at the end of the street. The two leaders looked almost the same, and they were twin brothers, three or five thick, with a fat face and a strong aura all over their bodies. You could tell at a glance that they were behind the general.

"I don't know whose son it is?"

Yuan Ling muttered, then his eyes fell behind them, and he couldn't help but be envious.

There were three guards beside each. They were wearing soap robes and long swords on their waists, and rode on the dark horse. They were straight and motionless, like an iron tower.

I looked at the guard who stood behind me, and was grimly holding a hundred kilograms of coins. The quality was much better.

Didn't you think that when compared with the other party, Yuan Ling immediately felt suspicious: These people are really going to encounter any dangers, can they protect themselves?

The more I think about it, the more I feel, the more I feel. Today is different from the past.

These days I have swept through major blogs and offended many people.

If they are really impatient, they may not be in a hurry to jump over the wall. Apart from a flying knife that has not been used to defend themselves, they do not have any close-fitting defense capabilities.

"Two young masters Yuchi, I haven't been here for a long time. Our Chuntao is talking about you every day!"

The madam was sharp-eyed and greeted the two tough young men.

Mr. Yuchi?

Yuan Ling muttered in his heart, I'm afraid it was Yuchi Gong's descendants.

While thinking about it, the guard behind him had already loaded up the car. Yuan Ling looked at the guard who was not standing, and was even more disgusted. He waved his hand and said, "Go back to Da'an Palace."

When he sat high, Yuan Ling felt inexplicably peeping in his heart. He looked back many times but found nothing, and he didn't know if it was too much or something.

After returning to Da'an Palace safely all the way, Yuan Ling habitually invited people to carry on his current gains.

The people of Da'an Palace are no longer surprised. Huo Feng also knew the origin of Yuan Ling's money, so he didn't want to say anything about the advice. However, winning money is better than losing money, and what makes him most relieved is that Yuan Ling redeems all the treasures he had pawned out before.

Yuan Ling thought of the few guards behind Mr. Yuchi, pulled Huo Feng aside and asked: "Old Huo, where can I recruit guards in Chang'an?"

Huo Feng asked in surprise: "Why did your highness say this? The guards are all distributed by the court, how can they recruit them randomly?"

Yuan Ling was a little confused, and Li Yuanai didn't pay attention to these things, which made him really not clear about this matter.

Huo Feng explained: "The court has a strong course system, and the people in our dynasty need to serve on time during the slack season..." Seeing that Yuan Ling was still confused, he changed his words and said: "It is to give the government free of charge. Officials will work to the officials, come to the officials' homes to come to guard the hospital, stand guard, and wait for the guard. The men who serve these laborers have different names according to their rank and position, commonly known as service power. Different ranks of officials, and the number of people with service power is different. There are 96 first-rank officials, 72 second-rank officials, 48 ​​third-rank officials, 32 fourth-rank officials, 24 fifth-rank officials, 15 sixth-rank officials, 47th-rank officials, 38th-rank officials, and 29th-rank officials. Your Highness ranks high and is a first-rank official, so there are 96 places."

Yuan Ling understood, was also dumbfounded and said, "In other words, these guards are all strong men who have never been trained? Fake hands?"

Huo Feng nodded and said, "It's roughly the case."

"Then, that..." Yuan Ling couldn't speak for a moment, and felt a chill on his back: "What kind of accident is going to happen? What kind of experts will meet? Wouldn't they run faster than me?"

Huo Feng said confusedly: "That's not the case. After all, he has the strength to persuade him. Besides, His Highness is the prince of the current dynasty, so it's better not to provoke others. Who dares to provoke His Highness?"

Yuan Ling was even more panicked when he heard this. Thinking about what he had done in the past few days, he really hung his head around his waist and walked outside: "No, I just saw the guards who were two of them in Pingkangfang. They were so fierce. I had muttered in my heart that the six of their guards could directly overturn the thirty people behind me. Now it seems that I underestimated that all three of them could do it."

Huo Feng explained: "That should be the result of the meritorious service."

Yuan Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I don't know you, your name is Mr. Yuchi. The unpopular surname is probably a descendant of Yuchi Jingde."

Huo Feng smiled and said, "That's it. There are additional guards after the honorary officials. The court has a system that the children of high-ranking officials need to act as guards for senior officials. This is one of the ways for the children of meritorious people to enter the officialdom. It is impossible not to do it. Duke E of the State is one of His Majesty's confidants. He is appointed as the Zhuguo, possessing the highest military officer, and the marriage is assigned to the largest amount in the account. It is normal to have a brave and warlike guard, and there may be a backer of the general."

Yuan Ling asked in a hurry: "Can I have a marriage, in the account?"

Huo Feng patiently explained: "Your Highness is a prince and is not subject to the law's constraints. Naturally, he can have a certain amount of marriage in the account."

"That……"

Before Yuan Ling could ask, Huo Feng further said: "Marriage, the account is very different from the service power. It is reluctant to let the eldest sons of officials stand guard and serve as guards. There is also a system of paying money to redeem people. They are all children of high-ranking officials. Who is short of money? The money for redeeming is not a small number."

When Yuan Ling heard this, he understood that it must be Li Yuanai, a greedy player who was a slut in money and chose to ask for money but not others, which led to the current situation.

In fact, there is another point that Huo Feng has not made it clear, and he can't explain it clearly.

Generally speaking, the prince is qualified to recruit staff and various talents by himself, but there is a prerequisite for him to be an official.

Yuan Ling was privileged and did not need to go out, which also led to him losing the power to open the mansion.

Li Shimin could not allow Yuan Ling to open a palace at the foot of the emperor and set up a small court.
