Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian's red face, feeling a little weird. Could it be that the things I read on the Internet before are true, and Wei Zhongxian is interesting to the Hakka family? But Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch and can't be humane, will the Hakka family be willing to eat with him?

He shook his head and drove these things out of his mind, they were all adults, regardless of what they were.

At this time, the commander of the guard hurriedly got up, knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao and said: "I don't know if the adults are coming, I will miss the welcome, forgive the sins." ”

Zhu Youxiao helped him up and said: "The commander is the third grade, why do you bow down to the little seventh grade of the official, how can you afford it." ”

The commander of the guard only thought that he was saying the opposite, and did not dare to reply, but just invited a group of people into the guard to speak.

Zhu Youxiao said: "You don't need to go in, you call all the officers and soldiers out, and the officer will check the number of people and the training of weapons." ”

The commander of the guard hesitated: "So that the Shangguan knows that there are now two thousand households in the Yanqing Guard, and there should be a total of 2,240 people, but the officers and soldiers of the guard center have been seriously insufficient due to various reasons over the years, and if the Shangguan wants to inspect it, he can only get more than 300 people." ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled: "I don't know what caused the amount to be insufficient?" Aren't the guards the father retiring and the son succeeding? ”

Commander Wei replied cautiously: "My lord, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said solemnly: "These are all my subordinates, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." ”

Commander Wei secretly complained, originally he saw that the commander of the military department actually brought a monk and two women to check the military quota, and knew that the other party was not small, at least it should be the young master of the prince's house in Beijing, otherwise he would not have such courage. He was worried that a little money would not be able to be spent.

At this time, seeing that Zhu Youxiao was unwilling to compromise, he had no choice but to say: "My lord, some military families do not have sons of the right age, or only daughters in the family, so they cannot make up for the gap in the army, so there will be a small number of people." ”

Wei Zhongxian stepped forward and said, "Do you think our young master doesn't understand anything?" If a military household does not have a son, it is natural to make up the number from other military households with multiple sons, so why is it insufficient? ”

Zhu Youxiao sneered and looked at Commander Wei and said, "What is the reason, if you don't tell the truth, then you won't have a chance to speak again." ”

Commander Wei knelt down and said, "Please spare your life, most of the military households have been called by officials and generals to cultivate their public fields, so there are very few people left, and most of them are old and weak, and they can't practice at all." There is also a serious shortage of armor and weapons, so please ...... Please ...... Shangguan."

Zhu Youxiao said angrily: "The officials who came to inspect in the past did the same thing? ”

Commander Wei snorted: "The previous officials were able to understand the difficulties below, so they didn't persecute too much. ”

Zhu Youxiao scolded: "Then you mean that I am inconsiderate of you, so I persecuted you too much?" ”

Commander Wei didn't even dare to say that he didn't get up, but hoped that this uncle could be respectful enough to put this matter down gently.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at him and said, "You also have a share of these public fields." How many acres are there? ”

The commander of Nawei said: "Xiaguan Gongtian is cultivated by the brothers in the family, and there are no other military households to cultivate it on their behalf. ”

Zhu Youxiao said curiously: "Oh, there is actually a white one among the black crows. ”

He said to Wei Zhongxian: "Go and let someone check, if what this guy said is true, then that's fine, if he also has a share, cut off his dog's head first." ”

Wei Zhongxian looked around, and just saw a Dongchang fan leading a horse walking by, he was overjoyed, and he didn't need to signal now, so he shouted: "Shen Wuxiu, you come here." ”

That Shen Wuxiu was ordered to run past one of them every once in a while, and when he heard the factory boss calling him, he immediately ran over and was about to kneel. Wei Zhongxian glanced at him, and only then did he react, and bowed his hand and said, "Please command." ”

Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "Good boy, yes, you go and inform Wang Dujian and give me a check on the cultivation of public land for officials and generals by the Yanqing Wei Army, and no one is allowed to miss it, we will wait here." ”

When the commander of the guard heard the words of Wang Dujian, he knew that this matter could not be hidden, and Dongchang participated, and he didn't know what the origin of these people was, so he kowtowed and said: "The wind and sand are strong outside, and the lower officials invite Lord Shangguan to enter the yamen to rest for a while, and drink a cup of coarse tea to wash the dust." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Okay, let's go sit down first, you can't talk to others, otherwise you will directly behead the dog." ”

Commander Wei didn't dare to do it, personally opened the door and took them to the main room, made tea by himself, brought some small snacks, and then moved a small Mazha and sat in the distance, motionless.

Zhu Youxiao said: "What's your name?" ”

The commander of the guard immediately stood up and bowed down and said, "Xiaguan Tang Jiuzhou, now the commander of Yanqingwei. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "You ask people to bring the fish scale book of the guard, we have to see what is going on with this person and Tian Mu." ”

Tang Jiuzhou nodded and said, "Then the lower official will go and call someone, can I ask the master to accompany me?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "Don't bother the master, I'll just accompany you." "After all, he is not very worried about this person, he is not familiar with the world, so he should take insurance by himself, and besides, he is strong in martial arts, and it is best to be by the emperor's side.

Tang Jiuzhou honestly asked the little officials in Weizhong to bring all kinds of information and piled them up in front of Zhu Youxiao for him to consult, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to send the news out.

Zhu Youxiao began to look through it, and at this time Wang Chengen had already come with Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Zhu Youxiao said: "The number of people on this is not bad, and the number of acres seems to be normal, but I always feel that something is wrong. ”

There were people who were good at auditing accounts in the elite of the East Factory led by Wang Chengen, and they quickly saw the problem: "My lord, these are all fraudulent situations, for example, there is one who was fifty-seven years old ten years ago, and now he is still in the list of sergeants, which is obviously impossible." As for the number of acres, it must be known by field survey. ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Then go to the survey, and give me a clear picture of the total number of acres and who belongs to it. As long as there is a problem, it must be dealt with seriously and quickly. ”

There must be a local snake to lead the way, so Wang Chengen said to Tang Jiuzhou: "Commander Tang, whether you cooperate or not, it is all in your thoughts." ”

Tang Jiuzhou knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao and said: "Please forgive Your Majesty for having eyes and not knowing Mount Tai, and I am willing to cooperate with the factory guards to repay the grace of God." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "How do you see my identity?" You're quick to respond, huh? ”
