Chapter 45: Qingzhou
Since Lin Niangzi learned the exact news of Lin Chong, her people have also been in good spirits, and not long after living here in Wuzhi, she became acquainted with Xue'er Jinlian and other female dependents, she knew that she couldn't see Lin Chong for a while, and she couldn't be idle, so she often followed Pan Jinlian to learn some cooking skills and go to the kitchen to help.
Lin Niangzi is also born virtuous, and she is also a good hand in the kitchen, coupled with Pan Jinlian's selfless professor, soon her cooking skills will be on par with those chefs in the proud building, of course, while learning those exquisite cooking skills, Lin Niangzi can't help but worship Pan Jinlian very much.
Knowing that Lin Niangzi's husband was still there, Xue'er was also secretly relieved, although she could accept Wu Zhi's three wives and four concubines, but in her heart she still didn't want too many women to share Wu Zhi with her, she also discussed it with Pan Jinlian and Hu Sanniang in private, and the three sisters all felt that it was just right now, if there were more, Xue'er and Jin Lian were also afraid that Wu Zhi would be tired of their bodies.
But when Hu Sanniang asked them why they were worried about Wu Zhi's tired body, Xue'er and Jin Lian just looked at each other and smiled, and replied, "Sanniang will know in the future", and lowered their heads with a touch of blush on their faces.
It's just that after the two girls recalled some scenes in their hearts, they shook their heads with shame and shame, will Wu Zhi really exhaust his body?
Absolutely not......
Wu Zhi is leisurely in front of his big boss every day, practicing yoga in the morning to strengthen his body, and in the evening, he seriously teaches the two glamorous ladies various yoga postures, and the life can be described as extremely glamorous and happy! Wu Song is still in Yanggu County, and he is still his head as usual, and when he has nothing to do, he either accompanies Wu Zhi to drink and talk, or he takes care of himself to learn the theory of the art of war, and his life is also very fulfilling.
The two brothers are an official and a businessman, this combination is much more powerful than a literary and a martial arts, don't talk about the people of Yanggu County, who in the nearby states and counties dares to provoke the two brothers of the martial arts?
Recently, Wu Zhi is also preparing to go back to Hujiazhuang with Hu Sanniang to propose marriage, although Wu Zhi's industry is now expanding, but the money on the books is constantly flowing, and the money earned by each branch restaurant and oil mill is just enough to keep opening branches, so Wu Zhi has a family fortune, but unless he stops continuing to open the Deyi Lou branch, otherwise, the money that Wu Zhi can withdraw is very limited.
The branch will continue to open, and it is also necessary to give a generous gift to Hujiazhuang!
Hu Sanniang is not only beautiful, good in figure and strong in martial arts, but also an authentic rich lady, the entire Hujiazhuang is her family's industry, Wu Zhi went to propose a few thousand taels of silver as a dowry, and it is not consistent with his identity as the boss of the proud building!
Thousands of taels of silver in the future generations is millions of yuan, the proud building in Shandong is known to everyone, Hujiazhuang is also quite famous in Shandong, the two are also considered to be the right family, even if Hu Sanniang does not want Wu Zhi to marry Wu Zhi, Wu Zhi is absolutely not able to pick the door.
Besides, if you can marry the goddess Hu Sanniang, don't say a few thousand taels of silver, it is tens of thousands of taels, Wu Zhi is also willing!
Wu Zhi has never been a person who blindly pours out his heart and lungs for women after being fascinated by them, but Hu Sanniang is worthy of him.
Because not any woman would be like Hu Sanniang who would not care about her own safety, she would rather take a knife herself to save Wu Zhi!
Therefore, Wu Zhi must marry Hu Sanniang decently!
Under Jiang Jing's hard work, it was not easy to move out of the account three thousand yuan, which is equivalent to three thousand taels of silver, in fact, Wu Zhi also knows that these three thousand taels of silver is also the largest amount that Jiang Jing can draw from the accounts, and now although the proud building occupies most of Shandong, it is still in the development stage, and the new restaurant has to buy land, buy lots, repair, hire people, publicize, manage, and operate...... These are significant expenses.
There is also the most expensive oil mill!
The oil mill is not like a restaurant, you can directly spend money to buy ready-made, and the oil mill has to start from the land! This cost is much higher than that of a restaurant, not to mention that even if the oil mill is built, if you want to produce, you must not only workers, but also a large amount of money to buy raw materials soybeans!
Therefore, Wu Zhi is still a "poor man", and according to Jiang Jing's estimates, if they want to ensure the continuous expansion of a fixed number of new stores and have a surplus income on their books, then their industry must be expanded to the whole of Shandong to barely reach it.
As long as there is a surplus, then Wu Zhi's future days will be turned over, and the proud buildings and oil mills everywhere will be like cash cows, constantly producing countless silver coins, all of which will be gathered into Wu Zhi's pocket!
It's just that Wu Zhi now has some small money enough for daily expenses, and he is still very tight, and he only has three thousand taels of silver in hand, if he goes to marry Hu Sanniang, two thousand taels of dowry, and one thousand taels of various expenses when marrying, Xue'er and Jin Lian are orphans and don't need to spend money, but Wu Zhi can marry them into the door in a beautiful way!
But after thinking about it for a while, Wu Zhi didn't plan to do it.
Because of this money, he wants to use it to "run for office" for Wu Song! As for Hu Sanniang, he had other plans.
After this period of exploration, Wu Zhi also had some understanding of the official system of the Song Dynasty, the civil and military official system of the Song Dynasty was very complex, and most of the officials also had three titles, namely official, position, and dispatch.
"Official" refers to a high-ranking official, and a few rank officials receive a few grades, which is linked to wages; "Position" is the position of the official, which is the real power; As for the dispatch, it is a task assigned by the imperial court, which is equivalent to the minister of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and has little to do with his own rank and office.
For military attachés, the rank is the military rank system of later generations, such as colonel and lieutenant colonel; And the officers are the regiment commanders and battalion commanders.
The military attache can be divided into three ranks, seven ranks, and sixty ranks! According to the official rank, it can be divided into three classes, such as horizontal class, envoys, and envoys, and these three ranks are divided into seven levels and 60 ranks, such as horizontal class envoys, envoys, deputy envoys, ambassadors, small envoys, and unqualified lieutenants.
And Wu Song's current capital of Yanggu County is the "Wupin Wei Yong" who belongs to the end of it.
Although there is no grade, with this identity, coupled with the operation behind Wu Zhi, when Wu Song enters the army, he can at least be a mixed team......
In the army, there are also three levels of generals: the first level is the general colonel, which is divided into eight levels, including the self-capital system, the commander, the commander, the general, the deputy general, the preparation general, the general, and the team general, and the team will be the lowest level of officers; The second level is the section level, including the military heads, ten generals, generals and waiters, Chengju and detaining officers; The third level is the long line, that is, the soldiers.
The second and third grades are equivalent to squad leaders, non-commissioned officers and reservists in later generations, and the squad generals and above are official officers.
Therefore, being able to become an officer at the level of a general is considered to have made his official debut in the army.
And the place where Wu Zhi wants to "run for office" is in Qingzhou, which is not far from Yanggu County!
Qingzhou is also in Shandong, under the jurisdiction of Jingdong Road of the Great Song Dynasty, here is a famous place, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao in the hands of the world-famous strong soldiers-"Qingzhou soldiers", are all people here.
The reason why Wu Zhi came here is entirely because among the several state capitals around Yanggu County, Wu Zhi knows only Qingzhou best.
In the Water Margin, Qingzhou's soldiers and horses are one of the five tiger generals, Qin Ming, and the soldiers and horses are the three mountains of Huangxin, and they also have Qingfeng Village under their jurisdiction!
Who lives in Qingfeng Village? It is the head of the eight hussars of Liangshan who served as the deputy governor of the village, wearing a chain mail white robe, making a snowflake bright silver spear, and a hard bow to shoot all over the world The super invincible handsome guy - Xiao Li Guanghuarong!
Except for Huang Xin, the other two are all generals who belong to the same Tiangang Star as Wu Song, and now that they have not encountered any changes, they will go to Liangshan, of course Wu Zhi will come over for a while to fool them.
The most important thing is that Murong Yanda, the prefect of Qingzhou City, is also mentioned in the Water Margin, this person's sister is the concubine of Song Huizong, the official family of the dynasty, and she is an authentic "relational household".
Of course, faint officials are annoying, but for Wu Zhi, faint officials are the cutest people, not afraid that you are mediocre, but afraid that you are too upright...... For "related households", it is naturally much easier to run relationships.
Wu Song is the head of the capital, and the prestige of the tiger hero is outside, as long as Wu Zhi is in place in the Qingzhou prefect, and then ask the county magistrate to recommend it to the imperial court, Wu Song is also a "team general" level military position in the Qingzhou army.
In this way, Wu Song became Qin Ming's subordinate, but Wu Zhi was not worried, the meal had to be eaten in one bite, as long as Wu Song officially entered the military system, with Wu Zhi's strong financial support, coupled with Wu Song's excellent personal conditions, it would be a matter of time before he surpassed Qin Ming!
