Lin Xu put the bag on the table. After untiing it, he suddenly found that there was a set of official uniforms inside, and a black bear was embroidered on the tonic on his chest!

This is the official uniform of the fifth-rank military general of the Daning Dynasty!

"Sir Liu, this is..."

Lin Xu was very surprised!

"Haha, when we were chatting before, I heard you say that you had no intention of taking the imperial examination, but were preparing to do business. However, in our Daning Dynasty, the social ranks of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce were very strict, and businessmen were the last ones. Usually, they could not even wear silk, but could only wear cloth clothes!"

Speaking of this, Liu Mingju sighed lightly and continued: "Although few people care so much now, these rules are clearly written in the Daning Law! Once someone is serious, your identity as a businessman will inevitably bring you a lot of trouble!"

"Of course, everyone has their own ambitions. I will not stop you from doing business, but I must relieve you of this worries."

"This time you have made great contributions to the court and the Southeast. I have already asked the court to ask you for the position of a fifth-rank guerrilla general."

"Military generals do not have many restrictions like civil officials. They do not have to take the imperial examination. As long as they make military achievements, they are qualified!"

"From now on, you will be the guerrilla general of our Daning Dynasty!"

"With this official position, no matter what you do in the future, there will be no restrictions!"

After hearing Liu Mingju’s words, Lin Xu was greatly moved!

In fact, this time he went to Hangzhou Prefecture to treat those sick soldiers, just to ask Liu Mingju for some privileges through this incident, laying the foundation for him to clear out the bandits in Jiangling County in the future and develop various industries!

He came here today, and in addition to formally saying goodbye to Liu Mingju, he was also preparing to mention this matter.

However, before he could tell, Liu Mingju had already thought of it, and he had done this in advance and asked him for the position of a fifth-rank guerrilla general!

Liu Mingju’s deep friendship really touched him!

"I will not thank you for your kindness, please give me a greeting!"

Lin Xu bowed deeply!

"Sir, you are polite!"

Liu Mingju reached out to support Lin Xu and said with a smile: "Compared to your contribution, the position of a guerrilla general is nothing. However, one thing needs to be told is that this is a false position. According to the rules, a guerrilla general can command a thousand troops, but I don't have a thousand soldiers to give you!"

The speaker is unintentional, listens to intentional.

Lin Xu wanted to wipe out the bandits, but the county's government soldiers could not count on them. The best way was to form his own private armed forces.

He has already started to do this now, such as recruiting some young and strong villagers as escort team members, conducting militarized training on weekdays, and directly recruiting some veterans to join the patrol team, etc.

However, there is a huge risk point in doing so, that is, forming private armed forces is strictly prohibited by the government!

If someone is labeled as "rebellion", it will be a crime to kill the nine clans!

However, in such a chaotic world, whether it is for the purpose of suppressing bandits, protecting oneself, developing industries, or even making longer-term plans, it is very necessary to have your own private armed forces!

Therefore, how to get a legal identity for your own private armed forces has become a crucial matter.

Before solving this problem, he could only organize the recruited villagers and veterans into the escort team and patrol team, but this is not a long-term solution!

Therefore, this incident caused him a lot of headache!

Now, Liu Mingju asked him for the position of a fifth-rank guerrilla general, which immediately gave him inspiration!
