Text Chapter 371 Selection of Guards (1)
Jiang Anyi and Shi Qingjian were talking about prosperity, and they didn't even notice the drumming of the government office. Da Zheng Law stipulates that the state and county yamen are working at three o'clock, and the drums are beating and scattering the yamen, except for the scribes and officials who are on duty at night, others can go home.
Huazhou is located in the northwest, Huiye Mansion is an hour later than Yongchang City before the sunset, the sun is still quietly shining from the west window into Jiang Anyi's gentle smiling face, Shi Qingjian's first plan gave him too many surprises, the original chaotic state affairs are clearly divided into five hands, Jiang Anyi firmly believes that as long as you patiently and carefully follow Shi Qingjian's proposal, Huazhou will inevitably be politically harmonious within five years, and after ten to twenty years, there will be no external troubles.
Shi Qingjian's mouth was dry, he picked up the tea that was already cold next to him and drank it all, Jiang Anyi smiled and poured the pot for him again, the tea was cold early, but his heart was hot.
When he was young, he traveled all over the world, and later started a family and settled down in Shihe Town, Shi Qingjian relied on his talent, thinking that he would soon be able to stand out and serve the country. However, the township of Shihe Town has become the end of his career, which makes Shi Qingjian deeply depressed, and as he gets older, this unwillingness turns into a dark night of intoxication and sighing, and it also makes him doubt his ability.
I thought that what I learned in this life would be buried in the loess with me, but I didn't expect to meet Jiang Anyi in the year of the sixtieth year, and I could see that Jiang Anyi was very sure of his opinions, and the rhetorical questions raised from time to time were scratching the itch of the old man, which made Shi Qingjian feel happy to meet a confidant. For Jiang Anyi, countless sparks of thought burst out from Shi Qingjian's account, which made him excited, and it seemed that he should organize a group of strategists around him as soon as possible to brainstorm and do things more efficiently.
The two little girls in the back house came to find someone with lanterns, and the little girl was bought by Jiang Anyi from the human market. In the past few days, he has lived in the back house, and He Hua, who came with him, has been taken back by his family, and his wife has said that they can go home if they want. The kindness of the main family can be felt, plus they have eaten well and slept soundly in the past few days, and there is nothing for them to do in the back house, the little girls have regained their vitality, and the chirping and laughter have made the back house a little more spring.
It was already the end of the day, Xin Fei and An Yong and others came back one after another, and the meal was ready, but Jiang Anyi was not seen to go home. Xin Fei asked the two little girls to look for someone in front of them with lanterns, and the little girl was still a little timid, and learned from the mouth of the official that the adults were still talking in Zhiyuan Hall, and she didn't dare to be worried, so she stood in front of the door and looked around.
When Jiang Anyi saw it, he noticed that it was getting late, stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Shi, listening to your words is better than reading for ten years, and Jiang has really benefited a lot." It's not early, so come with me to the back house for a light meal. ”
Shi Qingjian also smiled and said: "Unconsciously, the sky has reached such a time, and the old man is bothered. ”
Xin Fei and the others all knew Shi Qingjian, and there was nothing to avoid, everyone greeted and started the meal, and the little girls were waiting beside them. Jiang Anyi remembered that there were still more than 200 people in the farm, and now the case could not be asked for the time being, the farm was supposed to be returned to Washington, how should the people in the farm be settled?
Don't bother the two masters, Shi Qingjian is beside him, Jiang Anyi is too lazy to use his brain, and throws the problem to Shi Qingjian. Shi Qingjian asked the age of this group of people and said: "Adult men and women can let them be autonomous, those underage men and women in addition to letting their families receive them, adults may wish to play the Son of Heaven to set up a Salesian orphanage, and people adopt these children, and at the same time adopt those lonely and widowed old people, I have regulations in this regard at the beginning of the founding of the country, but the local government did not want to pay this money, and then it was gradually abandoned." ”
Jiang An Yixi said: "It's best to have a law, and I'll find a way to do it." Mr. Shi, I'm going to Wenjin County in a few days, so I'll ask you to draw up a charter and report to me when you come back. ”
Shi Qingjian nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Jiang Anyi finished explaining his official business, Jiang Anyong interjected: "Brother, I told General Mei about you choosing a personal guard, and General Mei asked you to go to the military camp at any time to choose." ”
Xin Fei thought that her husband had a bad relationship with the Hua family, the Han family and the Hua family were in-laws, and it was unpredictable to go to Wenjin County at this time, and Long Wei was not easy to accompany him, so she suggested that Jiang Anyi choose a good personal guard and be escorted by the personal guard.
Originally, Jiang Anyi wanted to select 300 people from the 500 people he led, but when he searched the farm, Jiang Anyi found that these soldiers were scattered and unusable, which made Jiang Anyong very depressed, so he had to convey his brother's meaning to Mei Hongmin. Mei Hongmin was also a little surprised, the subordinates he assigned to Jiang Anyong were elite soldiers, and they belonged to the middle and upper ranks under his command, why didn't Jiang Tingshi look down on him, so who did Jiang Tingshi want to choose?
"Did you tell the soldiers about the treatment of the guards?" Jiang Anyi asked.
"It's all said, those soldiers heard that the treatment of the guards was so good, and they all wanted to be the guards, and even some captains were moved, and finally General Mei ordered Xuanjie lieutenant (Zheng Bapinxia) and above not to participate in the election, so that the minds of those captains were calmed." Jiang Anyong said with a smile.
Jiang Anyi's treatment of the guards is really eye-catching, and each guard is paid twenty-four taels a year, and the annual festival is counted separately. You must know that when soldiers eat food, ordinary state and county government soldiers can only be half full, and as for the silver salary, it is good to be able to see one or two hundred wen all year round. The four capital protectorates are elite soldiers, and the supply of food is very sufficient, but the salary and silver are also deducted layer by layer, and it is less than one tael a year in the hands of ordinary soldiers, and it is only twenty-six taels of official salary for the captain of Zhiguo on the seventh grade. However, if you can do it, there are more than 1,000 soldiers under him, and it is impossible to eat empty salaries in the Metropolitan Protectorate, but it is certain that the soldiers' salaries will be deducted, and even then it will only be 50 taels of salary a year.
Now Jiang Anyi has given twenty-four taels of the salary of the guards, which is almost the salary of the captain of the seventh grade, it is impossible to say that it is not hot, and the people in Mei Hongmin's camp today are stupid, and everyone is waiting for the arrival of Jiang Tingshi.
The guards were different from the soldiers in the barracks, equivalent to the personal soldiers of the main general, and the court allowed the lord to pay the guards out of his own pocket to cultivate the loyalty of the guards to the main general. Jiang Anyi's personal guards are different from the personal guards obtained by the knighthood, the Son of Heaven has a word first, these three hundred personal guards only allow Jiang Anyi to protect him when he was the assassin in Huazhou, and the personal guards will naturally be removed after he is transferred. The number of guards of Yang Xiangliang, the Marquis of Yiyong, was only two hundred, and as for Zhenxi Nan, he could only nominally have twenty personal guards, and the court controlled the guards with the nature of private soldiers very strictly.
Siyu sneered: "Brother-in-law, when will you still lead soldiers, you haven't been a soldier for a day, do you know what a good soldier is?" ”
This sentence won Jiang Anyong's heart, An Yong had been in the Anyang Mansion Guard for half a year, and this time he came to Huazhou and stayed in the military camp for another month, feeling that no matter how he was, he knew better than his brother, and the five hundred people under his command, except for greedy money, were all good soldiers, so why didn't my brother look down on any of them.
Xin Fei smiled silently, she had recruited Long Wei in the Sixteen Guards, and she knew how to pick people, and no one was ready to tell her husband in detail at night.
Siyu obviously guessed Xin Fei's thoughts, glanced at her senior sister and said, "Senior sister, you must be the strategist behind your back, no wonder your brother-in-law is bold, obviously trying to play Laipi." ”
Everyone looked at Jiang Anyi with relieved eyes, which made Jiang Anyi a little unbearable, and said slightly angrily: "Do you look down on me like this, I will choose an elite to show you tomorrow." ”
Xin Fei came out of the round and said with a smile: "Okay, let's wait and see tomorrow, eat, the dishes are cold." ”
Obviously with a perfunctory tone, Siyu laughed, pulled Senior Sister's arm and said, "Senior Sister, I will sleep with you tonight, let my brother-in-law sleep in the study, so as to save you from cheating." It seems that Siyu wants to vent her anger for her husband.
After eating, Jiang Anyi sent Shi Qingjian home, Siyu took the first step, hugged Xinfei's arm and entered the room, turned around and smiled at Jiang Anyi: "Brother-in-law, if you can really pick out an elite soldier tomorrow, I will be convinced by you, and I will never mistreat in the future." ”
Xin Fei was dragged by Si Yu, so she had to give Jiang Anyi a helpless look, and with a "bang", the door was slammed shut by Si Yu, and the laughter of the two came from inside.
Jiang Anyi touched the tip of his nose that was almost touched, and walked towards the study amid An Yong and Shishi's sneaky looks.
