Chapter 50: Thousands of Households You Huachao
When Li Zhi got dressed and returned to Santang to show He Shishou, He Shishou laughed. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Good! is a bit heroic, worthy of this official uniform! ”
He Shishou asked people to bring a bronze mirror to Li Zhi. Li Zhi looked at the bronze mirror, and secretly said that people really rely on clothes and makeup, which is different when they wear official uniforms, adding a bit of majesty to their eighteen-year-old boys. Thinking that he had traveled to this era and had become an official of the imperial court in just seven months, although he was only a small hundred households, but he was also an official, Li Zhi was in a good mood, and his mouth was grinning with a smile.
Seeing that Li Zhi was happy, He Shishou twisted his beard and thought about it and said, "Baihu now has official uniforms, but there is still a lack of a healthy horse. When the military attache has a mount, this is the majesty. ”
Li Zhi said: "What Lord Fuchen said is that I will go to the horse market in the west of the city to buy one!" ”
He Shishou smiled and said loudly: "How can there be good horses in the ordinary horse market? The old man has a Wusun horse, worth 100 gold, I will give it to 100 households! ”
One hundred gold is a literati saying, which means that it is worth one hundred taels of silver.
Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and secretly said that this governor still buys one and gets one free. Although the fee is high, He Shishou's business has made some human touch. Li Zhi smiled and replied, "Li Zhi has thanked the governor!" ”
He Shishou waved his hand, and a subordinate ran out and pulled out a tall horse from the stable. The horse was a man tall, full of red tendons and strong tendons, and was led by people at this time and snorted from time to time, and it was indeed a good horse.
"This horse's name is Treading the Wind! It's yours from today! ”
Li Zhi took the horse and looked at it, and said to He Shishou: "Thank you, my lord, for your thousands of miles!" The lower officials didn't dare to disturb the official affairs of the adults, so they took their leave! ”
Although Li Zhi did not specialize in horseback riding, he also rode horses in tourist attractions for a few hours before crossing, and he still knew a little about equestrianism.
Don't pass the governor, Li Zhi rode a horse in an official uniform, and walked home with two family members, causing passers-by to avoid it. Although the hundreds of households were small, the people of the Ming Dynasty had a natural fear of the officials, and they were busy making way one by one.
When Li Zhi walked into the wellside shop, it aroused even more discussion among the neighbors.
"Yo, where did you come from, riding such a good horse!"
"Look at that face! Isn't that Brother Zhi'er? ”
"Brother Zhi'er is an official! When did this happen? ”
"Brother Zhi is really promising! Not only does he have such a big industry, but now he is also an official! ”
Li Zhi ignored the comments of the neighbors, rode home with a smile, and rode until he jumped off the horse outside the courtyard of the Li family. Li Xing and Zheng knew that Li Zhi had gone to the governor's office to buy an official, and they were worried about the result. At this time, seeing Li Zhi coming back in official uniforms, the two greeted them in the courtyard with a look of surprise.
"Big brother, the governor has done it for you!"
Li Zhi nodded and tied the horse to the yard.
Li Xing excitedly touched the mane of the wind and said with a smile: "This horse is really a horse!" Was it given by the governor? ”
Zheng touched his heart and said, "Zhi'er, why did the governor match you with such a big horse!" How big are these 100 households? ”
Li Zhi replied: "This horse was given by the governor, not a match." Baihu is the military attache of the sixth product. Although a military attache is not as valuable as a civilian official, he is also a prefect of Tunpu. ”
Zheng's face was full of joy, and he smiled: "Charge a tunbao!" That's a big official! ”
Li Xing said loudly: "Wait until I go to the door and set off a string of firecrackers for him!" Let the neighbors know about my family's happy events! ”
Li Zhi had a horse, and he realized the benefits of having a horse! The next day, he went to the horse market and bought twenty good horses and distributed them to his subordinates: Li Zhi was to take ten family members to take office, and these family members had to be equipped with horses. In addition, the management of the industry is now busy, and the daily transportation is also more efficient. Finally, there is the communication between Li Zhi's official place and the Tianjin Acropolis, and the family members come and go on horseback to convey the message much faster.
Li Xing got a few horses, full of joy, and rode back and forth at the gate of the textile factory.
When the workers of the textile factory and the soap workshop saw that Li Zhi had become an official in his official uniform, they became more careful in their work. In these years, the people admired the court officials the most. Li Zhi has an official position, although it is only a small hundred households, but it also makes management easier.
Li Zhi inspected the textile factory and soap workshop again, explained a few words to several managers, and then rode off to his post.
Li Zhi's official position is to serve as the management officer of Fanjiazhuang with hundreds of households.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the battalion system was generally implemented in the nine borders, and the official position of the guard gradually lost its practical significance and was diluted into a rank. Li Zhi's current official title is 100 households, but if there is no official position in the battalion system, this 100 households is useless at all. Li Zhi's official position in the battalion system is the management of Fanjiazhuang, and with this official position, Li Zhi has become the commander of a tunpu.
Fanjiazhuang is forty miles away from the Tianjin Acropolis, it takes two hours to walk, and it only takes one hour to ride a horse. However, before Li Zhi went to Fanjiazhuang to take up his new position, he also had to go to the "Yunfang" to visit his boss.
The new official visits his boss before taking office, which is also the practice of officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty. Li Zhi's immediate boss is Qianhu of Jinghai Qianhu, and You Huachao, who serves as the defense officer in Yunfang. Li Zhi didn't know the temper of this chief, so he bought some common silk ginseng as a gift worth more than fifty taels, and let the four family members carry it separately.
After entering the Yunfang and finding the Qianhu Official Hall, Li Zhi jumped off the horse and was about to find a doorman to deliver a post, but saw a middle-aged man in a military attache uniform walking out with a few entourage. The man at the head was dressed in a five-rank military attache uniform, of medium stature, slightly fat, and had a few sparse beards on a round face.
Seeing Li Zhi's official uniform of the sixth grade, the official looked at Li Zhi arrogantly, and was about to speak, but his eyes were attracted by Li Zhi's mount.
After carefully looking at Li Zhi's mount for a long time, the military attache took a breath and asked slowly, "Is this the governor's stepping wind?" ”
Li Zhi guessed that this person was his commander, and replied: "This is the wind that is below!" ”
The military attache raised his head abruptly and looked at Li Zhi. After a few turns of his eyes, he suddenly left his arrogance, came out with a smile on his face, and said affectionately: "I think you are the new manager of Fanjiazhuang, Li Zhi of Baihu!" ”
Li Zhi knew that this was the governor's stepping wind.
The dignified governor is a great official in the eyes of these thousands of households, and he can be promoted or removed from his official position in minutes. These poor military attaches only rely on deducting military salaries and serving as soldiers, and it is impossible for them to make a few thousand taels at a casual shot like Li Zhi, and they are not able to reach a high-level level like the governor, so they attach more importance to the governor. This Qianhu is an official fan, and he is very attentive to the affairs of officialdom, and he has long seen and recognized the governor's BMW from afar. Now when these thousands of households heard Li Zhi say, "This is my wind", they knew that it was the governor who gave the BMW to Li Zhi. The governor's BMW, how can there be a casual gift? This Li Zhi must have an unusual relationship with the governor.
