Volume 3 The Debater Chapter 104 Departure
A quarter of an hour later, Jiang Wan took Xin'er and Wang Hai back to the ancestral house in the city and met the eunuchs who had come to deliver the edict.
"Are you that Jiang Weak?" In the hall of the Jiang family, the eunuchs who came to deliver the edict looked Jiang Weak up and down, with impatience on their faces.
"It's Jiang Weak, dare to ask Your Excellency who ......" Jiang Wan looked at the eunuch in front of him, there was no eunuch in this era, but the sharp voice was very recognizable.
"Huangmen Zuofeng!" the eunuch said proudly.
"It turned out to be Zuo Gong!" Jiang Wan nodded and motioned for the family to serve some pastries.
"No need. Zuo Feng snorted coldly and said, "This official is here to pass on the edict on the orders of His Majesty." ”
Having said that, he didn't see him reading the edict, Uncle Liang's face changed when he saw this, and he hurriedly leaned into Jiang Qiao's ear and whispered: "Young master, this is ...... When it comes to asking for bribes, you don't have to be angry. ”
In the past, Jiang Weak was an authentic nerd, and what he hated the most was this kind of thing, he was afraid that Jiang Weak would directly anger the eunuch.
"Zuo Gong has a tired journey, and he can't thank him for his weakness, so he prepared a thin gift, which is considered some heart, and I hope that Zuo Gong will smile and accept it, and I can't say it in the future, but I will rely on Zuo Gong. ”
Jiang Wan nodded, looked at Zuo Feng with a smile, and after saying a few words to Uncle Liang, he asked Uncle Liang to leave, and he asked Zuo Feng to sit down.
Zuo Feng looked at Jiang Wan in surprise, and it wasn't until the two family members struggled to carry a box in that a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes, and he nodded:
"It is rumored that Jiang Gongzi looks down on me and other people, but now it seems that he doesn't know which villains are chewing on the root of their tongues. ”
"Zuo Gong laughed, Jiang Weak is white, but Zuo Gong has already worshiped the Yellow Gate, what qualifications do you have to despise?" Jiang Weak shook his head, pointed to the box and said:
"It's just that the Jiang family has recently suffered a family change, and there is no one out of ten family property, so I can only prepare these small gifts, and I hope Zuo Gong will not be surprised. ”
"No blame, no blame. Zuo Feng shook his head and smiled: "It is enough for Jiang Gongzi to have this intention, this is His Majesty's edict, Your Majesty said, at most you can go to one school, and the weapons and armor will be given to you by the school captain." ”
Zuo Feng glanced at Jiang Qiao's face and said with a smile: "Although Macheng is a border city, a certain family heard that Jiang Gongzi is a person who is both civil and military, and he will definitely be able to make some political achievements." ”
"Jiang is weak and thanks to Zuo Gong, and after Jiang settles down in Macheng, he will send someone to Luoyang to thank Zuo Gong. Jiang Wan nodded and smiled with Zuo Feng.
"Okay, then the official will wait for good news in Luoyang. Zuo Feng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded.
After greeting Zuo Feng for a while, he sent Zuo Feng away, looking at the back of the group leaving, Jiang Wan's brows furrowed slightly.
"Childe, this Tian Yue is also too deceitful!" Uncle Liang stood behind Jiang Qiao, frowned and said: "Otherwise, Childe will not be able to claim that he is sick, then Macheng is located in a bitter cold place, Childe, you have grown up in the Central Plains since you were a child, how can you stand that." ”
"It's also an opportunity. Jiang Feng shook his head, in fact, Zuo Feng had also expressed similar thoughts before, as long as he was willing to spend money, Zuo Feng was willing to introduce him to the people in the court, and he would definitely be able to transfer Jiang Feng back to the Central Plains.
However, he was rejected by Jiang Qiao, he really didn't have so much money to bribe now, and he didn't dare to rely too much on this side, besides, although it was a bitter cold place, it might not be without a chance.
What's more, there is a three-year tax exemption condition, and three years is enough time for him to do a lot of things, of course, the most important thing is the military power! In troubled times, no amount of false name can be compared with the military power actually in his hands.
For Jiang Qiao, countless success templates are now engraved in his mind, and countless historical civilizations on the earth are enough to make Jiang Qiao comfortable here.
But the premise is that this is a normal world.
"What does Childe mean?" Uncle Liang looked at Jiang Wan in confusion.
"Tell everyone, get ready, get ready to go, this officer, I'm going to take up my post. Jiang Qiao said with a smile: "Gather those craftsmen recruited before, and maybe you will need them when you go to Macheng this time." ”
"Young master, I'm ......" Uncle Liang looked at Jiang Weak, not knowing what to say.
"You and Xin'er just stay and guard the house, it's a long way, and it's not a smooth road. Jiang Liang patted Uncle Liang on the shoulder and said.
"Xin'er wants to be with Childe. Xin'er bit her lip and looked up at Jiang Weak.
"Don't mess around, the border land is not peaceful, and those who often fight, listen to me. Jiang Wan shook his head, if he could take office in Luoyang according to the previous plan, he naturally didn't mind taking everyone with him.
It's just that now it's going to the borderland, not to mention that the people on this side of the climate are not easy to adapt, and more importantly, the soldiers are fierce and dangerous, and a little girl follows the past, Jiang Wan is really not at ease.
"Wow. When Xin'er heard this, she bowed aggrievedly.
Jiang Wan asked Uncle Liang to inform everyone to pack up, and sat alone in the study, on one wall of the study, there was a huge sheepskin map, looking at the location that belonged to Ma Cheng, Jiang Wan's brows couldn't help frowning.
According to the housekeeper, Macheng is almost a ruined city now, and in the early years, it used to be a key border defense place in Dai County, but later after the barbarians were in civil strife and divided into three parts, the border pressure was greatly reduced.
And the strategic position of Macheng has become a little embarrassing, the nearest Ning County has nearly a hundred miles of road, and the border has been fierce in recent years, and most of the people around have migrated inward, which has made Macheng deserted.
No wonder Tian Yue has been so well-behaved recently, it turned out that he was waiting for him here!
However, what made Jiang weak curious was that with Tian Yue's IQ that could be mixed with splashy skin, such a method was not like what he could use.
In his mind, he couldn't help but flash Wei Qian's elegant and kind smile, Jiang Qiao sneered, the dog that bites people doesn't bark, it seems that behind this matter, it is this Wei Qi who is really in charge, but he wants to kill himself with this, Jiang Huang can only say that he thinks too much.
"Yesterday, my son was enshrined by the imperial court, as the magistrate of Macheng County and concurrently served as the lieutenant of the cavalry, you will all go with me to take office, from Hanoi to Macheng, two thousand miles, and it will take two months to arrive. ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Qiao looked at the twenty-six guards gathered and grinned: "Two months, it's too wasteful to use it to travel, this son will set up a lottery today, and the officials of Macheng County, I don't think you can do it." ”
The guards nodded in agreement when they heard this, expecting them illiterate men to manage the paperwork, it would be better to kill them.
Jiang Wan looked at everyone and said with a smile: "In addition, this official also serves as the captain of the cavalry, and he can set up five departments, five military horses, ten military marquis, and twenty generals, not to mention the team rate or anything, you are the people trained by the official himself, and you can be regarded as the official's cronies, so the official also hopes that the military Sima, county lieutenant, military marquis, and tun general will be served by you." ”
"Thank you for your appreciation!" When the guards heard this, their faces were filled with surprise, they didn't expect to follow Jiang Weak, and there is this benefit, for them who were born in poverty, not to mention the military Sima and the military marquis, even if they are generals, they are all green smoke on the ancestral tomb.
"Don't rush to thank you. Jiang Wan waved his hand, and his face became serious: "The official employs people, the capable are up, the mediocre are down, if you want an official position, you can, you can show your ability, if you don't fight for yourself, if you don't have this ability, then give me peace of mind to be a nurse, don't blame the official for not cultivating you." ”
Jiang Weak's words were like a basin of cold water poured down from everyone's heads, which calmed down a lot of hot-headed guards, although in the past three months, under Jiang Weak's training, he has some skills, but after all, he has not experienced real actual combat, and he does not have much confidence in his own ability.
"Therefore, during the journey of more than two months, the official will give you intensive training, the previous training is only the basic, and in the future training, you will doubt your life. ”
Jiang Weak's smile, in the eyes of the guards at this moment, is like a demon, the previous three months of training, they still remember it vividly, and now Jiang Weak actually said that those trainings are just the basics, although they have not started the real training yet, but it has already made these people have a terrifying feeling.
"Now, tell me, do you still want to be an official?" Jiang Qiao looked at everyone and suddenly shouted.
"Think!" The basic training in the past three months has already made everyone form a kind of conditioned reflex for Jiang Qiao's words, and they almost instinctively agreed.
"I can't hear you. Jiang Miao roared angrily.
"Think!" The voices of the twenty-six people converged into a wave of voice, straight into the sky, for them, no matter how bitter it is, it is rare to have a chance to get ahead, is it difficult to be a farmer for the rest of their lives?
"Okay!" Jiang Wan nodded with satisfaction, these people from the bottom are the most able to endure hardships and endure, after three months of simplified special forces training, some transformations have taken place fundamentally, and now, it is time for them to see blood and cultivate their confidence.
"Then what are you waiting for? Now, a hundred miles of running and marching, tonight, this official will repair in Ji County, put on your bags, and set off!" Jiang Qiao snorted coldly and said sharply.
"Young master, Ji County is a hundred miles away from here, there are no horses here, the guards are ......" Uncle Liang looked at Jiang Weak with some concern when he heard this.
"Queue, run!" Without waiting for Uncle Liang to finish speaking, Wang Hai shouted, tied his burden to his chest, and carried a chopping knife in Uncle Liang's surprised gaze, and led everyone to start running.
Jiang Wan smiled, looked at Uncle Liang and said, "Those craftsmen will also arrange to leave as soon as possible, and I will wait for them to meet in Gaoliu." With that, he turned around and took his bags and rode along.
After a while, the figure of the group had disappeared from the end of sight.
