Chapter 40: A Thousand Households and a Hundred Households
"By the way, there's one more news! The Hunting and Cooking Divisions need to be replenished and will be selected from among you based on your performance. If you are lucky enough to join both departments, then congratulations, you will have the opportunity to officially become a member of the food club.
What are the specific capabilities and powers of these two departments? I won't say more, after these days of auxiliary labor, I believe that as long as you are not blind, you can see it.
Finally, good luck to you guys! ”
The crowd fell silent instantly, and Hua Xi and Zheng Peng glanced at each other, their eyes full of heat.
This is a great opportunity!

Before you know it, the world has changed.
In the territory of Shandong and Henan, there are more and more merchants who walk and hunt prey. The old farmers who are immersed in the yellow soil clearly feel that this year's wheat is growing exceptionally strong.
The reputation of the big market in Shen County, with the departure of the caravan, spread farther and farther.
While causing a large number of surprises, a large amount of silver began to flow into the pockets of the gourmet party.
Cheng Ming established a template, and what Wei Zhongxian needed to do was to copy it and use the power of the food club to open the big market throughout the counties of Dongchang and Yanzhou to establish a supply network.
With the power of the food club, it is still a bit reluctant to occupy two state capitals at the same time, but Cheng Ming believes that these are not problems.
The name of a person, the shadow of a tree, the famous nine thousand years old naturally has his means.
These days, there seem to be more and more scholars who have appeared in Shen County inexplicably.
Wei Zhongxian and Mr. Shen came into contact once, and calmly replaced several positions, and the entire county government was set aside.
Who would have thought that the county magistrate who corresponded with the superior and shepherded for the Son of Heaven would be replaced by another person in silence.
Or a group of people.
For Wei Zhongxian to develop his own strength, Cheng Ming is happy to see it happen.
It has never been his interest to rule the world, change is.
After formulating the general direction, the food meeting was handed over to Commander Wei Zhongxian, and Cheng Ming embarked on a trip again.

Jinan Mansion, Defu Honor and Sanitation Division.
"Report to Lord Qianhu, that person has come out with four people beside him."
Baihu knelt on one knee and raised his fists above his head to report respectfully. On the Taishi chair opposite him, a thousand households were drinking tea unhurriedly.
"Did you hear it clear this time?"
"Yes, sir. Please also send a team of men and horses to capture this person! ”
"You said before that Wei Zhongxian appeared in Shen County? Is it still there? ”
"In! Wei Gelding was so bold that he openly appeared in Shen County, and recruited a lot of old departments, for fear that something big would happen, and asked the thousands of households to prepare as soon as possible. ”
A disdainful smile appeared on Chiho's face.
"What? Do you want to teach me how to do things? ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"What would you not dare. Lightly attack you dare! You dare to take the credit alone! Let your subordinates be sent to death, you dare! You dare to deceive your boss. Master Lu, you are not a hundred households, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard! ”
Baihu slammed his head on the ground, not daring to make a sound again.
Qianhu stood up and said, "Dongchang Mansion, Yanzhou Mansion, Qingzhou Mansion, and the Jinyi Guards on the ground of the three mansions have all been emptied by you, and then given to Wei Zhongxian. I got news from here that there seem to be a few of those brothers, all of whom are working for Wei Zhongxian. What do you think about me? ”
"Please also ask your Excellency to be clear, it's not that his subordinates are incompetent, but it's that Wei Gelding who has demonic skills and controls many brothers. Your Excellency, you also know that now there are frequent strange things on the ground in Shandong, and strange beasts have appeared one after another, although there are few incidents of attacking people, but they occupy the mountains and forests to drive the bandits and horses to nowhere to go, so that there are frequent incidents of chaotic people attacking the county town and grabbing grain. This is all Wei Gelding doing ghosts. ”
"Alright, don't make excuses for this and that, go down and rest! In two days, someone from the capital will come, you can answer how you want, maybe the emperor will be soft-hearted and can spare you a dog's life! ”
Qianhu said lightly: "You are also a bold person, knowing that I and your father are enemies of each other, and you even dare to come to the door to ask for help." It's a pity that such a good opportunity can't fall into the ground. ”
Baihu's head was on the ground, he didn't dare to move, and the sweat on his face crackled down.
He is also gambling, gambling with his life.
The current situation is very bad for him.
In December last year, the emperor announced the death of Wei Zhongxian, and this year, he spent the whole year cleaning up the eunuchs and rehabilitating the Donglin party.
Wei Zhongxian's name is when it stinks the loudest.
But at this time, Wei Zhongxian, who was supposed to be a dead man, suddenly appeared, and it also disturbed the peace in Shandong.
Such a big mistake, if the above knows, not only the emperor will be displeased, but the cabinet will probably also be displeased. The Donglin Party, which was persecuted by the Eunuchs, would be even more displeased, and they would turn their fear of the resurgence of the Eunuchs into anger and vent it on him.
At that time, I am afraid that it will not be a matter that can be ended with death.
In the depths of his heart, he even hoped that the thousand households in front of him would kill him, so that his family would not be affected.
Qianhu naturally understands these thoughts of his, so he hates him so much.
"Song Han!"
"Your Excellency!"
With the words of Lord Qianhu, a person who was also wearing the official robe of Baihu walked in.
"You go for a run, pay attention to the way of doing things, if you can't work hard, our Jinyiwei is not without other means, do you say?"
Song Han hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates understand what the adults mean!" ”
"That's good!" Qianhu nodded and said, "No matter what method you use, I want to know the specific information of Wei Zhongxian from this mouth." Take my token and go straight to the thousands of households along the way if you need anything! ”
"Thank you, sir!"
Song Han respectfully took the sign, took two steps back, and turned to leave.
Chiho sat down again and picked up his teacup. "Master Lu, don't stay here, why don't you go!"
Baihu didn't get up, kowtowed, and said, "Help, adult!" Now the situation is extremely unfavorable for me, my men have suffered all casualties, and I am the only one who lives, I am afraid that the Shangguan will not let me go when the time comes. The small family has quite a lot of assets, and is willing to give out ten thousand taels of silver, and ask thousands of adults to help say a few words. ”
"Don't!" Qianhu hurriedly waved his hand, "I can't afford to get involved in this matter of yours." Wei Zhongxian, the emperor has hated it to the core, and he has been checking the eunuchs for a year, and now he has to take out one and cut off his head every once in a while. Don't hurt me, don't stay in my thousand households if it's okay, go to Shen County more, maybe you can meet someone who is willing to reward you? ”
Baihu snorted and panted, but he didn't dare to say anything, got up and hugged his fist, turned around and left.
Qianhu was stunned and drank tea calmly.
His lips opened slightly: "That's right, how clean you are when you die, don't stay and hurt others." ”
His voice was not loud, but Baihu was clear in his ears, and he paused slightly, and walked out directly.
