Chapter 53: Command

When Zhang Han and the others entered the east gate, there were still a lot of green-skinned tigers standing outside the branch, shouting and scolding one after another, but they were not energetic at all, the wind was not right in the past two days, these scoundrels had the most sensitive sense of smell, but the officers and soldiers of the guard post and the family members of the commander who were originally standing behind them disappeared without a trace, these green skins felt wrong, but they were entrusted by people to be loyal, and they had to step forward to protect the lord if their teeth were flying, who told you to take the silver? Many peasants outside the Acropolis came with carts, picked up vegetable leaves in the city and ate them for a few days, and their hungry faces turned yellow, if nothing else, for these few stones of grain could be sold for an extra tael of silver, which was only a meal for the rich people, and for them it was at least three months of chewing grain, and no one would give up easily.

Because of the existence of these people, the outside of the store is still crowded with water, shouting and scolding one after another, many residents of the Acropolis have regarded this place as a temple fair or a scenic tourist spot, many idlers climb on the roof of their own houses, and they are still holding a blue and white porcelain bowl in their hands, while eating, they look at this side, chew a bite of green onions to see the liveliness, and then eat a mouthful of millet steamed buns, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Zhang Han saw Li Yuchun in front of the branch, he was obviously much thinner than when he was in the castle, his face was ugly, and his eyes were also blank, and this time the incident hit him particularly hard.

"The guards are here, no, the commander is here."

At this time, there were bursts of exclamations from the excitement, and some people knew the opportunity very well, feeling that this matter was about to be resolved.

If it weren't for the results, how could the commander of the palm print of Yiwei come over in person?

The border town guard is not those places in Shandong and Henan, the acropolis is very small and withered, the commander occupies a place to open a shop even if it is tall, the palm print command of Tianchengwei is also responsible for the eating, drinking and scattering of more than 100,000 people, the military tun in the usual guard, drills, ordnance, outposts, military inspections, patrols, preparations, garrisons and other affairs are all palm prints to command the general, there are four products of the same knowledge and the help of the servants, the whole guard according to the system of 5,600 people, five thousand households, palm print commander Zhang Wuchang also serves as the Acropolis garrison, subject to the jurisdiction of the military preparation road in Yanghe, The actual number of guards is far more than 5,600, plus the number of people with more than 100,000 nationalities, there is a considerable amount of oil and water in the area of taxation and military tun, and Zhang Wuchang's actual power cannot be compared with that of ordinary inland guards.

In the Ming Dynasty, the military attache of the border town has always been one level higher than the inner town, for example, the general of the inner town has added three more grades, and the general in the border town must have been added to the second grade, and the position of the garrison and the guard and the defense officer is also relatively high, plus Zhang Wuchang is the descendant of the Zhang family of the Yulin Wei generation, and he walks sideways in Tianchengwei, and no one dares to provoke.

"These bastards dare to make trouble on my Acropolis, left and right, take it!"

The length and width of the commander's height are about the same, fortunately, there is no fat on the body, it looks like a square, the face is full of beards, and the round eyes are quite powerful when they open angrily.

"Ten sticks per person, get out of the way."

Although Zhang Wuchang's momentum is big, the punishment is not heavy, those officers and soldiers are also familiar with Qingpi, maybe they were still drinking and sleeping in a secret place last night, and they were not ruthless, this is also a ghost crying wolf howl, Zhang Wuchang ignored these, and dismounted majestically, those small businessmen and mud-legged people had long been scared of farts and urine, and when they saw the commander coming, they were busy getting out of the way.

Walking to the front of the Heyusheng branch, Zhang Wuchang looked at Li Yuchun, pointed at the leather whip, and said, "You are Li Yuchun?" ”

Li Yuchun was a little flustered, swallowed his spit, and said, "The villain is exactly." ”

"There are some twists and turns in your grain collection, I don't blame you for this, it's not that you don't have integrity...... Zhang Wuchang waved his hand, and said arrogantly: "You can continue to collect this grain, here in this Acropolis, Lao Tzu has the final say, it is the king's law." ”

Although the conductor didn't speak very well, the meaning of the words couldn't be clearer, Li Yuchun only felt a burst of excitement, and his body trembled slightly.

"The villain thanked the conductor ......"

After half a ring, the shopkeeper, who has always been tongue-in-cheek, only held back such a sentence.

"Look at you are still an honest man." Zhang Wuchang didn't mind Li Yuchun's rigidity, nodded, and said, "After the owner of your family comes back, invite him to meet me in my mansion." ”

After saying that, Zhang Wuchang turned around and left, and he got on the horse in a majestic manner, and after a while, he disappeared with his subordinates, leaving only the thousands of people present to look at the smoke and dust left by the commander in a daze.

"Have you heard?" Li Yuchun looked at the people in front of him, and suddenly shouted: "Can you collect it, it has nothing to do with Lao Tzu, now I can collect it, you dogs will line up for me, waiting for the upper weighing!" ”

Everyone cheered in unison, and the main force who had just scolded turned around and began to pat Li Yuchun's ass, and that familiar flattering smile appeared on the faces of these people again, Li Yuchun ignored it, he had already seen Zhang Han who was smiling across the crowd.

"Proprietor ......"

Li Yuchun's throat surged, his eyes were sour, he felt ashamed, a person of his age actually felt like he wanted to cry.

"This time, I have wronged you in the second cabinet......"

Zhang Han patted Li Yuchun's arm, the posture of the superior was fully revealed, and the people present did not have any strange feelings, more than half a year ago, when Zhang Han first arrived at the store, but the three shopkeepers were half the size of the eyes, this more than half a year has passed, the situation has reversed, and the shopkeeper of the branch Qian Nengwen is the big guy in the store at the beginning, and he has witnessed the internal changes of He Yusheng with his own eyes, and this moment is also full of tears, quite a little bit of a sense of witnessing history.

"The proprietor doesn't need to say much," Li Yuchun said: "The commander just now must have been invited by the proprietor, so let's hurry over, these officials are not good at slacking." ”

"Well, I'll leave it to the second cabinet here."

Those who sold grain had already poured in, waiting in a long line to get the silver after the weighing, and everyone was happy to move, because there was a dart master in the array, and the order was also very good, unlike other places where it is easy to mess into a mess.

Zhang Han was very satisfied, Li Yuchun and the branch shopkeeper he brought out were experienced, the set grain collection location and the established business name were very suitable, and his and Yusheng had a lot of commercial talents that could be used, which was particularly important, otherwise, even if he had good ideas and strength, no one under him would be blind, these talents did not fall from the sky, and they could not be used without ten or eight years of cultivation, loyalty and ability must be both, and the other is to supervise, At present, he relies on the account team set up by Li Yujing to supervise the matter, which is still relatively weak, but fortunately, the structure is relatively simple now, and he can still manage it.

The next step is to expand the scale of literacy classes, especially those who are underage, the number of people should be larger, and at the same time literacy can also go to the counter to help, just like the little guys, so that after a few years, there will be a group of big guys available, and after ten years, the number of shopkeepers will expand many times, which is a virtuous circle.

The command yamen is in the south of the Acropolis, a little westerly, compared to Lai Tongxin's general's mansion, the Acropolis garrison mansion is slightly smaller, but the content inside is much more luxurious than the general's mansion...... Zhang Wuchang's palm print command and garrison has no way to be hereditary, but his position as the commander of Tianchengwei can be hereditary, with the support of the Yulin Zhang family, it is estimated that the garrison is not necessarily, and the palm print can be hereditary, this mansion is of course not the official of the iron Yamen flowing water like the staff station, it is the iron Yamen iron official, since it is hereditary to live, the decoration is also extremely luxurious, at least Zhang Han deliberately looked around when he passed through the wall, the murals are finely carved, the moon cave wall is often shabu and new, all kinds of trees and flowers are blooming from the right color, A bunch of different stones are placed on the trail from time to time along the way, showing the owner's good taste and ambition...... It's just that there are a lot of places and too many piles, and it can also be seen from this that Commander Zhang is a small and eclectic master.

Entering the door, Zhang Han knelt down and saluted as usual, Zhang Wuchang sat in the middle of the living room, accepted him with a big smile, raised his hand falsely, and said: "Your little proprietor is not bad, my eldest brother asked someone to come over, saying that you have contributed a lot to his affairs, and Mr. Ma also takes care of you, you are a white body, and you were not a big businessman before, you can do it so much, it is really good." ”

Zhang Han bowed and said with a smile: "I always rely on the care of General Ma and Deputy Envoy Zheng." ”

Zhang Han received the news last night, Yang and Bingbei Dao Wu Youxian has already played a self-invited Zhishi, he is old, recently in poor health, this day is a matter of time, it is estimated that the imperial court will not be retained, in fact, after the middle of Wanli, the emperor is negligent in government affairs, not only many yamen do not make up for officials, edicts are not issued, even the resignation of the emperor is too lazy to care, if the low-grade officials and positions of the cabinet and various ministries can be autonomous, such as the military preparation of this kind of position is a critical position, non-emperor personally ordered not to be deposed and promoted, Wu Youxian is of course resigned, I don't know if the dragon eye is over, and whether it will be issued an edict to be promoted as soon as possible.

If it was before, three or five years did not give you an edict to allow you to resign, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were also chic, the emperor did not allow Lao Tzu to go by himself, the official seal was put in the main hall, goodbye and left, if this is the crime of peeling the skin in the Hongwu years, Jiajing can not spare you, in the hands of the Wanli Emperor, it is up to you, you want to go at will, and you will not make up for the official after leaving, the yamen is empty there, and the anxious center jumps to the feet, and the emperor just ignores it.

According to the inside information obtained by Zhang Han, Wu Youxian was not lightly ill, for fear that he would die in the guest township, he had already made up his mind, and if he did not see the palindrome within a month, he would leave directly, and Zheng Guochang, the deputy envoy, would definitely act directly...... For Zhang Han, this is very good news.
