Chapter 249: Someone from Home
It took a few days for Zhao Ziliang to figure out the detailed process of the operation of Zuo Jin Wuwei, and the Chang'an County he was responsible for had six main streets running through the north and south, bounded by Zhuque Street, from Mingde Gate to Zhuque Gate, on the left was the jurisdiction of the right guard general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, and on the right was the jurisdiction of the right guard general of the right Jinwuwei.
Zhao Ziliang's duty is to arrange soldiers to patrol these streets and alleys day and night, as long as there are disputes, fights, brawls, traffic blockage, theft, crimes, and suspicious characters, etc., these are under the jurisdiction of his right guard general's office, if it is a criminal offense, after the criminal is caught, it will be handed over to the Chang'an County government, and Chang'an County will solve the case. All other public order incidents were handled by his Right Guard General's Office.
The six main streets are respectively in charge of two lieutenant generals and six street envoys, and the two lieutenants will each be in charge of patrolling and police affairs in three streets during the day, and at night after the curfew begins, two street envoys will be responsible for security patrols in each street, and each street will also have a right guard Lang who will lead troops to secretly investigate and supervise.
In the final analysis, the left and right Jin Wuwei are like the patrol police in charge of public security in later generations, not the real army, the patrol police are people in the police system, but the left and right Jin Wuwei are military establishments, directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor, and do not belong to the government forces, and their combat effectiveness cannot be compared with the real army at all.
The Jinwu guards who patrol during the day are different from the soldiers who have a curfew at night, and the Jinwu guards who patrol during the day are patrol policemen, who are only equipped with waist knives and whistles, wear leather armor and helmets, and there is no certain pattern for patrolling, while the Jinwu guards during the night curfew are much more elite, they patrol the streets in a neat line, led by a captain or general on horseback, generally not scattered, acting in unison, not only equipped with belts and whistles. They are also equipped with spears and spears, and some are equipped with long-range weapons such as bows and crossbows in case they are needed.
This morning, after Zhao Ziliang practiced martial arts, and after eating breakfast, Chen Qingying quickly brought a helmet, armor and belt to prepare to change it for him. Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "No need to change, today I want to go to the street to secretly inspect the patrol situation of the generals and soldiers!" ”
"Oh!" Chen Qingying agreed, turned around and was about to hang these things up again, but her face suddenly changed, she covered her mouth and retched a few times, and hurriedly ran to the backyard.
Zhao Ziliang was stunned when he saw this, and then shouted outside: "Bai Xiaode! ”
"What does the general command?" Bai Xiaode said yes and walked in.
Zhao Ziliang said: "Send someone to the government office to inform the general of the general's subordinates, the long history, the record to join the army, the two lieutenant generals, and the left and right street envoys to come over, and let them all change into civilian clothes!" Besides, you can send someone to find a Lang Zhong to come and show Madame. I've been nauseating for the past two days, isn't it bad to eat."
"No!"
Zhao Ziliang returned to the study while reading while waiting for the arrival of the subordinate generals and officials, this time he was temporarily preparing to surprise inspect the security patrol, and the generals and officials who brought his subordinates also wanted these people to see what kind of style the soldiers looked like when they inspected the public security, and the reason why the temporary intention was to achieve a sudden effect, so that the generals and officials below did not have time to inform the soldiers, he wanted to see the real situation. That's all there is to it.
was looking at the book, and saw Zhao Hu running in panting. "Second uncle, someone from my hometown is here!"
Zhao Ziliang was stunned, "Someone from my hometown?" Who's coming? ”
"It's Mr. Wang from the private school at the head of the village!"
As soon as Zhao Hu said this, Zhao Ziliang remembered who this Mr. Wang was, and he went to private school for several years under the guidance of this Mr. Wang when he was a child.
Mr. Wang's name is Wang Ru and he is 53 years old. is an old boy, this Mr. Wang is also not lucky, when he was in his thirties, the family sent a flood to drown his wife and children, he was preparing to take the Xiucai exam, and he relied on his wife to work to earn some money for him to study and catch the exam. After the death of his wife and children, he had no financial resources, so he could only open a private school in the village and earn some living expenses by teaching a few students, but it was not possible to go to study and take the exam, the people in the village were not rich, and the students could not afford to pay too much tuition, so he naturally had no extra money to take the exam, and the matter of taking the Xiucai exam was delayed. In the first half of the year, when Zhao Ziliangrong returned to his hometown, he also bought gifts to see him.
After all, he is from his hometown, and he is also the former Mr. Enlightenment, Zhao Ziliang is not good at relying on his identity, so he has to get up and come to the gate.
Wang Ru was wearing a patched shabby gray cloth robe, a square scarf tied on his head, a cloth wrap on his shoulders, a pair of cloth shoes on his feet had already broken a few holes, and his stinky feet were exposed, looking very haggard.
"Oh, it's Mr. Wang who is here, and the student has seen Mr. Come on, sir, please come and sit in the house! Zhao Ziliang saw that it was indeed Wang Ru, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.
Wang Ru was on the ground, got up and said: "Confucianism really can't get mixed up in his hometown, so he had to find Brother Zishan and ask for the general's address.
Through previous memories, Zhao Ziliang knew that this Mr. Wang Ru was still very responsible for doing things, he was very strict when he was a child, and he would be punished if he failed to complete his academic tasks, and he had read books and knew all kinds of etiquette and etiquette.
Zhao Ziliang listened to Wang Ru's words, and hurriedly said: "Where did Mr. say it, what is the matter, let's go in first and talk about it, please please!" ”
"General, please!"
The two came to the front hall, and Zhao Ziliang invited Wang Ru to sit down, not only asked the maid to pour tea, but also asked Zhao Hu to go to the backyard to invite Chen Qingying over.
Listening to Wang Ru's narration, it turned out that Liu Yuanwai, the landlord of the village next door to his hometown, took a fancy to a piece of high-quality land in Wang Ru's hand, and wanted to buy it, this field was handed down by Wang Ru's ancestors, Wang Ru himself would not farm, but rented it to the villagers in the village, and collected some rent every year, since it was an ancestral field, of course Wang Ru did not want to sell it, but he didn't expect Liu Yuanwai to be just a ruffian in the village who came to the door every day to find trouble, Wang Ru was angry and inadvertently injured the ruffian who made trouble, Liu Yuanwai sued him to the county government on this ground, and the county government received the benefits of Liu Yuanwai, Come and arrest him immediately, if the villagers hadn't gotten the news and rushed to let him escape, I'm afraid that he would have been locked up in the county jail by now. In desperation, Wang Ru had to leave Sangye Village, and before leaving, he asked Zhao Zishan to get to Zhao Ziliang's address in Chang'an, and set off overnight to come to Chang'an to join Zhao Ziliang.
After listening to Wang Ru's narration, Zhao Ziliang was also quite emotional, now the land annexation is becoming more and more serious, the self-cultivated farmers have lost their fields, and the uniform land system exists in name only, and the common people are of course unwilling to let their children become government soldiers, so a large number of government soldiers have fled, and there are not enough troops in various places to maintain the scale of government soldiers.
Zhao Ziliang was about to speak, when Chen Qingying walked in from the backyard, and he immediately said to Chen Qingying: "Madam, at this time, Mr. Wang Ru Wang, I grew up under Mr. Wang's enlightenment when I was a child!" Come over and see it."
"Mr. Wang, this is a certain side room Chen, named Qingying."
Chen Qingying was very graceful and said a thousand blessings: "The concubine has seen Mr." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a lady, and I didn't dare to be a lady's gift! Ru has seen Madame" Wang Ru hurriedly flashed to the side, and bowed again.
Zhao Ziliang said to Chen Qingying: "Madam, you see that our yard is so big, plus the Zhuangzi outside the city, there is no one in charge of the mess, it just so happens that Mr. Wang is in trouble and comes to take refuge, in my opinion, it is better to hire Mr. Wang to be the housekeeper of the house temporarily, since you can also relax, and secondly, let Mr. Wang have a place to live, what do you think?" ”
Chen Qingying said with a smile: "Since Mr. is so valued by his husband, he is willing to be talented, and the concubine has no opinion, everything depends on the husband."
"That's good!" Zhao Ziliang said and turned to Wang Ru and said: "Sir, I will temporarily wronged you to be the steward of my house, here and outside, there are a lot of complicated affairs, there is no trouble sir, when there is a chance in the future, I will find a way to find a background for Mr., I don't know what Mr. wants?" ”
But he saw Wang Ru and said: "After so many years of exhausting his will, Confucian's fame has long faded, and he can manage the affairs of the palace for the general, and his remaining wishes are enough!" ”
"Since this is the case, then I am wronged Mr., Mr. has been in the dust all the way, and he must be very tired, so he will take two days off, and familiarize himself with the environment, and then officially take charge of things after two days! Madam, you ask the housekeeper to take Mr. to wash up properly, prepare a few sets of clothes, shoes and socks for him, and clean up the room for him, don't slack off! ”
Chen Qingying promised: "No! ”
"That being the case, General, Confucianism has retired first!"
Lang Zhong, who sent someone to invite him, has not yet come, but the two lieutenant generals under Zhao Ziliang, the left and right street envoys, Changshi and the record of the army have come first.
"I'll see the general!" Several people wore civilian clothes and saluted Zhao Ziliang together.
"Excuse me!" Zhao Ziliang raised his hand, glanced at a few people, and said: "I brought you here today, just to go with you to Chang'an Avenue to secretly inspect and see how the captains and soldiers of my Zuo Jin Wuwei are on duty on the streets, how military discipline is, how well they grasp the strength of law enforcement and how they attend, which is why this general asked you to wear civilian clothes!" Maybe it's going to be a day today, so be mentally prepared to go! ”
Several people glanced at each other, and there was some worry in their eyes, everyone knew that the young general in front of him was a master who couldn't rub sand in his eyes, about this day, before Zhao Ziliang took office, they had already heard about it, if they secretly inspected today and found a problem, they were afraid that there would be no good fruit to eat. But things have come to this point, even if they don't want to go, they can't do it, and they can't immediately notify their subordinates, so that the captains, military chiefs and soldiers below will honestly follow the rules today.
