Chapter 44 Let the rain get the rain
"Second brother, Eizhi, when did you come? Why don't you notify in advance, and go to the beach with your big brother to greet you! ā
Before Wang Ruiren entered the gate of the thousand official houses, he shouted outside the courtyard gate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Haha! Lord Wang, it's been a long time! The students did not dare to disturb their brothers when they saw that they were busy. However, it is better to come early than to be coincidental. Today's students have seen a good show! Ishiyuki laughed and walked out.
And Wang Rui's second brother, Pan Xuezhong, stood behind him with playful eyes, with his elegant smile on his face that had not changed for thousands of years.
"Brother Painting, how can you call a certain adult! A certain is a vulgar martial artist! Only know how to dance knives and guns, and if you can't write splendid articles! The virtuous brother is called an adult, and it is really a foolish brother! Wang Rui stepped forward quickly, took Shi Huizhi's hand affectionately, and walked to the official room.
In fact, Wang Rui, who came from later generations, was not very suitable for this hand-in-hand approach in the Ming Dynasty.
However, he crossed over and mixed with Ma Ju, Pan Xuezhong and others for a long time, and slowly followed the customs.
After a few people sat down, Shi Huizhi said again: "Brother Wang is too humble!" The students watched the brothers arrange the troops and win the hearts of the people, but they are proficient in their hearts and are willing to spend their blood! How can a vulgar martial artist do it? ā
"It's just a hard reading of Qi Dashuai's book! Qi Shaobao, can be described as my Ming military god, if you can learn one or two less, you can train a strong soldier! Wang Rui turned the topic to Qi Jiguang, the god of the Ming Dynasty.
Qi Jiguang, the word Yuanjing, the name Nantang, the late number Meng Zhu, Han nationality, Shandong Dengzhou, ancestral home of Anhui Dingyuan. A famous anti-Japanese general and military strategist in the Ming Dynasty, he was as famous as Yu Dayou. His father, Qi Jingtong, was an official in Luqiao, Shandong, and Qi Jiguang was also born here.
He led the army in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong coastal areas to resist the invaders, after more than ten years, more than 80 battles, and finally swept away the troubles of the Japanese invaders, and was praised as a national hero by modern China. The world calls the army he led the "Qi Family Army".
In the second year of Longqing, Qi Jiguang was the governor of Jizhou (now Jixian County, Hebei), Changping, Baoding three towns of military training affairs, and later as the chief military officer, and the town guarded Jizhou, Yongping, mountains and seas, and supervised the 12th Route Army. For the ministers of the country, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and so on.
Qi Jiguang has been in Jizhou for 16 years. The Great Wall was reinforced, the fortified platform was built, the tuntian was rectified, the army was trained, the tactics of car, foot and cavalry were formulated, and a defense system of close liaison between the wall, the platform and the trench was formed, and the enemy who was harassed was repelled many times, and the military might was greatly boosted and the Jimen was calm. At the time, it was praised as "the famous general of Zhengu, worthy of the Great Wall".
Qi Jiguang was ostracized after Zhang Juzheng's death. In the eleventh year of Wanli, he was transferred to the chief military officer of Guangdong. After 13 years of old age and illness, he returned home from his post and died of illness in 15 years.
But even if he is as talented as Qi Shuai, in the report he wrote to Zhang Juzheng, he also had to call himself "the lackey of Mu En" Yunyun. The Ming Dynasty's noble and martial arts can be said to have reached the level of madness.
What is especially hateful is that these literati of the Ming Dynasty, who are full of benevolence and righteousness, especially the Donglin Party as the representative, came directly when the country changed: Break into the captives and surrender the captives!
And the so-called discipline has long been shattered to the ground like the absurd officials of later generations!
Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen finally said that "all civil officials can be killed", which can be said to be the most correct comment on this group of shameless people.
Now that Wang Rui is like a speck of dust, quietly drifting down to this Ming Dynasty, he doesn't mind washing the Han nation with iron and blood.
The Donglin Party, Jin merchants, salt merchants, maritime merchants, Confucian families, and clans, the scum who dug the corners of the Ming Dynasty, because of their own selfishness, frantically sent refuge to the thieves, and finally trapped the Han nation in Hu Chen. Wang Rui is looking forward to exterminating these people in one fell swoop at the right time!
However, now is not the time to express his thoughts, he still needs to carefully "lurk" in Daming, and improve his official position little by little, in order to accumulate his strength. Just wait for the iron-blooded army in your hands, and let the horses go to punish the thieves!
Pan Xuezhong found that Wang Rui was stunned, so he interjected: "The third brother can learn Qi Shaobao's ability, and he should be a big white!" ā
He has been dating Wang Rui for a long time, and like Ma Ju, he discovered Wang Rui's distraction.
"Haha! Brother Wang, congratulations! I'm not going to sell it. You've been promoted again: the garrison officer of the Jimo Battalion! It seems that you want to become Qi Shaobao's dream, but it's one step closer! And this official uniform is goodbye, we have brought it to you! Shiezhi said with a laugh.
"I thought I couldn't do it." Although Wang Rui set such a goal for promotion, he didn't expect to achieve it so easily.
My goodness! This is really the rhythm of "rain and rain, wind and wind"!
In his opinion, although the official position of the thousands of households in front of Fushan is already the fifth grade, but the garrison of the Jimo camp is the third grade, which is indeed something that Wang Rui can't even think of.
In fact, Wang Rui didn't know that at the end of the Ming Dynasty, officialdom was extremely corrupt and chaotic. To put it bluntly, in fact, Wang Rui's silver is enough.
In this era, sending a senior member of the court, even if it is a cabinet elder, is only a few thousand taels of silver. When Wang Rui asked Pan Xuezhong to help the event this time, the gold, silver and jewelry he brought with him were converted into more than 15,000 taels.
What's more, there are hundreds of pirate heads, which is a real military feat!
Therefore, it is really not a matter to upgrade the garrison of this positive third grade. What's more, Wang Rui is a person, I usually only see him give silver taels to his boss and send him to the first rank of military merit, but he has never seen him run to ask for military salary. Such a "stupid comparison", if he is not promoted, it will not be justified!
Besides, there is also the famous Shi family in the middle.
In later generations, the whole world has entered a civilized society, and there is still a strange thing that he joined the work at the age of 15 and became a deputy county magistrate at the age of 28. So, it really fulfills the saying "anything is possible"!
"It's all about the affection of Lord Shi, and it's a loss to Lord Shi in many ways! Third brother, thank you for the virtuous brother of the painting! Pan Xuezhong hurriedly explained to Wang Rui.
Wang Rui hurriedly thanked him, called the guards, asked the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and called Chen Mingma to accompany them. A few people drank and talked freely, so happy!
Especially this stone painting, although you can also go out to meet friends and drink in Dengzhou, but because it is right at the doorstep, it always feels a little difficult to let go. Now that I have arrived at the front of the floating mountain where my father and mother don't care and "the sky is high and the emperor is far away", I seem to be breathing fresh air again.
He drank dry, and drank very happily! He soon became very drunk with this indulgence.
After a few people sent the drunken Shi Dagongzi to the inn to settle down, Ma Ju, Wang Rui, Pan Xuezhong and a few others returned to the Qianhu official room to make a pot of tea and continue to discuss the development plan for the coming year!
Because it is now about to reach the lunar month, after Pan Xuezhong goes, he will definitely not be able to return until after the Spring Festival.
There are so many things to say and too much love to talk about between the four brothers. The knowledge of the world is irreversible, but that's it!
"Second brother will go back this time, can he return at the end of the first month?" Wang Rui asked out loud. He is very concerned about Pan Xuezhong's itinerary, because it is related to the operation of his funds.
Wang Rui's team is like a small company in the process of starting a business, and every return of funds must be carefully calculated and done step by step. Otherwise, as soon as there is a shortfall, he will have to run out of funds.
"If it goes well, I will definitely be able to return before the end of the month. I'm confident. Pan Xuezhong said with a smile. In fact, he already had a plan for the sales to go back, and he was sure of it.
"The third brother's boat still has to go back, if possible, spend another 30,000 taels of silver to buy some other sea boats for the younger brother? Boatmen and shipwrights, you can also recruit some! As for An Jiayin, I have to help the third brother help me pay in advance! The salary should be doubled according to the local standard. Of course, grain, iron, sulfur and other materials are also not missing. Wang Rui entrusted.
He planned to build a navy first, so that he could go to the Japanese country to rob the country, so there were no shipwrights for this, but it would not work.
Now the Fushan Army is in a period of great development, and the demand for materials is also extremely huge. And all this, if you want to do it without revealing it, it must be Pan Xuezhong.
Pan Xuezhong, who had already linked his future with the front of Fushan in his heart, naturally agreed.
Wang Rui set his own juvenile working group to sort out a detailed procurement list and hand it over to Uncle Cai for the next day. The teenagers in the working group did not disappoint Wang Rui and others, and they quickly handed over the list to Wang Rui.
However, the number of this purchase order is really crazy! Because the materials that need to be procured are as much as 70,000 taels of silver! After Wang Rui saw it, he waved his pen indifferently and added the amount of materials worth 20,000 taels of silver.
After Pan Xuezhong and Uncle Cai received this purchase list, Rao was well-informed, but they were still stunned!
My goodness! It's crazy! The total value of materials is 90,000 taels, but it is only the material consumption of the two months before Fushan! He Wang Rui's expenditure of a thousand households is several times stronger than that of a general soldier with a seal.
What's more, Wang Rui still has to purchase it locally. Nowadays, in the harbor outside Fushan Maesho, there is a lot of increase in the number of ships that carry various goods for sale.
In the vicinity of the city in front of Fushan, there are now many new shops and inns to serve the merchants and local soldiers and civilians. Because Wang Rui's factory workshop needs a lot of people and can ensure the safety of this area, Fushan Qianji has now become a good place for businesses to focus on expanding.
Wang Rui and Pan Xuezhong accompanied Shi Dagongzi to inspect the Fushan front house for several days. During this period, Wang Rui also invited him to give lectures in the school in front of Fushan for several days, which made him addicted to spreading the learning of saints!
Of course, this is all so that he can be more willing to use the influence of his family to continue to do something for Wang Rui in the future.
Because this stone painting is a genius of painting, Wang Rui played a scheming and found a clever boy to learn from him. Wang Rui, who came from later generations, knew that if there were many people in the army who could draw maps, the effect would be very huge.
Like almost everyone else, he also needs to be respected and cared for, and he wants to express himself in front of more people. Wang Rui satisfied his psychological feelings very well, and specially lectured the teenagers who were selected to study, and asked them to wait for Shi Huazhi with the most respectful etiquette.
Shi Huizhi saw that there were so many teenagers who liked to paint and read, and he was very happy in his heart, and he went to the school all day long to teach a group of teenagers to paint and read. In the evening, he drank and recited poetry with Wang Rui, Pan Xuezhong and others, and the days were very happy!
He was having a good time, but the servants who came with him were quite anxious, and for several days when he was alone, they reminded him to go back quickly. The ancients paid attention to "parents are here, not far away", this year is over, it's time to go back!
After Pan Xuezhong arranged for his entourage to count and load the goods sold back from Fushan, he also decided to set off for his return as soon as possible.
As for him, it's still the old rule, and he sent Shi Huizhi back by the way.
Looking at Pan Xuezhong going away with a fleet full of goods, Wang Rui, who saw him off, said to Ma Ju beside him: "I hope the second brother has a smooth trip!" ā
"It's going to go well!" Ma Ju patted Wang Rui's shoulder.
In fact, Wang Rui has no bottom in his heart, who said that this glass product and mirror are really best-selling?
