Chapter 111: Military Position
That's right, it was Shao Wei and his sister Shao Yu who came to Sun Yuan's house.
After the Fengyang Incident, the royal mausoleum was destroyed in the war, which can be described as shocking to the world. Just because Zhongdu fell, if the imperial court wants to hold it accountable, it will only be implemented on Yang Yipeng, the governor of Fengyang, and it has nothing to do with Yang Ze. However, the emperor's mausoleum was destroyed, but the garrison eunuch Yang Ze was guilty.
He also simply committed suicide by diving, so as not to be escorted back to Beijing to suffer humiliation. From this point of view, even if Eunuch Yang is not a thousand times, he is also strong.
The reason why Yang Ze was bent on marrying Shao Yu was because Miss Shao looked very much like his mother, who had been dead for many years. It's probably because of the mother-love plot, who can say clearly about the human heart.
Yang Ze couldn't rest assured that Shaoyu people were not at ease before he died, and he knew that she had a good impression of Sun Yuan, so he simply fulfilled the two of them and entrusted Shaoyu people to Sun Yuan.
In this way, Sun Yuan inexplicably got a woman.
In fact, Shaoyu is already free, if she doesn't agree, she may have other thoughts, and she refuses to follow Sun Yuan to Rugao, there is no way. However, she didn't say anything, and just came to Rugao.
According to Eunuch Yang, the Shaoyu people like Sun Yuan very much. It's strange to say that for nearly three months on the way, Miss Shao didn't say a few words to Sun Yuan, and hid in the cabin all day long, reading and playing the piano, looking like she had accepted her fate.
With such a beauty, Sun Yuan was still very excited in his heart. But as a modern person, probably because of the concept, he felt that he should still talk to Shaoyu people.
But every time she asked to see her, Xiaomei said that the girl was tired and refused to see anyone.
Sun Yuan was also helpless, and he didn't understand why Miss Shao was unwilling to talk to him. In later generations, although he also had women, modern women are very different from the ancients. A woman's heart, a sea needle, how can he figure it out?
Along the way, when the weather is good, Shaoyu people will also go out of the cabin to see the sun. Sun Yuan could clearly see that Shaoyu had lost a lot of weight, and his face was haggard than before, but there was an attractive charm on his body, which made people's hearts beat wildly.
When Sun Yuan leaned over and wanted to speak, Shao Yu immediately turned back to the cabin, which made him feel melancholy in his heart.
Shao Wei is a young man, where his sister goes, he will naturally go too, so he followed Sun Yuan.
However, this kid used to do things too badly, and second, now that he doesn't have Yang Ze to protect him, the donkey, Wen Laosan and his party will naturally not give him a good face, and they will invisibly isolate him.
Shao Wei finally got a chance to be in the same boat with Erya, and his heart was itchy and scratchy, and he would always try his best to get in touch with the Venerable Master. Naturally, the result will not succeed.
It is said that Sun Yuan returned to Rugao this time, and there was no cargo on the ship, so he should travel extremely fast, and he would be able to go home in a month at most. However, he needed to hand over Yang Ze's apology form in Nanjing, and he had to take the notice to go to the military department to find a real shortage of thousands of officers for himself. The latter task, in particular, takes a lot of time.
First of all, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the bureaucracy was bloated, and although many people were officials, there were no vacancies to settle them. It can be said that behind a real job, there are at least more than a dozen pairs of eyes staring at germanium. If you want to be an official, you can say, take the money.
Beijing's six departments are better, after all, they are at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and everyone still talks about some rules. But Nanjing, although it was also the capital of the Ming Dynasty, had another set of central organs. But most of the officials placed in various ministries are old people who have been eliminated in the officialdom, and to put it bluntly, it is a pension institution.
Most of the officials of the Sixth Department in Nanjing are very old, and their careers are hopeless. Because of this, he looks very closely at money and things, and dares to collect money. In this way, the atmosphere is outrageously bad.
Sun Yuan had more than 100 taels of gold in hand, but he could run it well in Nanjing.
According to the rules, he went to the military department to report, spent more than 100 taels of silver, and then got the official license to take office, without any difficulty.
But Feng Yang had just been sacked by the thieves, and that place was now a big battlefield, and to go there to take office was to send him to death. Moreover, Henan will become a big battlefield in the future, and even if you go, you will not be able to accumulate strength with peace of mind.
Therefore, what Yang Ze said before his death is very reasonable, and now Sun Yuan is only suitable for a few years to find a guard in Yangzhou and bury his head in development. However, the military attache in the Jiangnan area has a lot of oil and water, and it is very sought-after, and this matter must be a little troublesome and take many days.
Fortunately, Sun Yuan was the backbone salesman of the company in his previous life, and it was his strength to open up the situation in an unfamiliar place with his bare hands, plus people would also come to things.
After running around the various yamen in Nanjing for more than a month, they were well mixed with the military department and others, and a lot of silver was scattered, and the matter was finally completed.
At that time, a small official of the Nanjing Military Department drew up a list of vacancies in various places for Sun Yuan to pick. Of course, the price of each vacancy is different.
Sun Yuan chose the post of officer of Ningxiang Thousand Households, this place is located in Taizhou, a hundred miles away from Rugao, and it is a plain area, which is very rich and suitable for raising soldiers.
However, the price is not cheap, as soon as people open their mouths, they will ask for a thousand taels, which makes Sun Yuan startled, saying that it is too expensive? You must know that every year during the Chinese New Year, the local governor enters Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to the cabinet elders, and the charcoal system is only 3,000 taels.
The Ming Dynasty allocated funds to the nine-sided border army, and a soldier had a military salary of one or two silver a month, of course, the layers were deducted, and in the end, there were few big sons in the hands of the soldiers.
One thousand taels is enough to raise a hundred elite families.
A thousand-household office can have dozens of family soldiers, even if it is very combative.
The little official sneered and said: "If you don't want to, forget it, that place is so rich that there is a lot of salt, and there is salt in Huaibei, if you go to be an officer of a thousand households, you will have three or four hundred taels of money every year by relying on the checkpoint money." If you don't agree, just go back to Fengyang. ”
Sun Yuan had no choice but to quietly stuff a piece of silver again, saying, Thank you so much.
The little official's face looked better, and said, don't look at this thousand taels of silver, in fact, Lord Shangshu has to pay homage to three hundred taels first, and then, Lang Zhong and the main thing have to go, you are too much, I still have a headache and not enough points!
Sun Yuan was greatly disdainful in his heart: This official of the Ming Dynasty is really greedy enough, but it is convenient for me to do things.
After saying this, in the next step, Sun Yuan will turn the civilian household into a military household, which will take a lot of time.
No way, the efficiency of ancient government agencies was so low.
When everything is done, Sun Yuan will return to Rugao and wait for news, and as soon as the official photo arrives, he can go to Ningxiang to take office. Of course, he can also wait for news in Nanjing. It's a pity that the news of Fengyang's big change has already been transmitted back to Rugao, and I don't know what my mother will worry about.
After thinking about it, Sun Yuan decided to go home first.
This time he went to Fengyang, Sun Yuan can be said to have gained a lot, not only got more than 100 taels of gold, turned into a rich family, and got the official position of an officer of a thousand households, and more importantly, he also took in Fei Hong and other low-level officers of the border army of the Ming Dynasty who had combat experience, and the shelf of a unit was propped up, which was regarded as a solid step in this troubled era.
Looking back, Sun Yuan suddenly sighed.
It has been almost a year since he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and this is why he is so alive now, but this first step is so difficult!
But the fight between Donkey and Shao Wei still gave Sun Yuan a headache, and in the short term, it seems that Shao Wei and Fei Hong and others have no possibility of reconciliation, if they are allowed to get together, they are afraid that there will be many things in the future, so it is better to divide them up for the time being.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Sun Yuan still left Fei Hong and others in Nanjing, and asked them to wait for news, once their official photos came down, they would go to Rugao as soon as possible, and then everyone went to Ningxiang to take office together.
Moreover, according to the rules, after the summer harvest, it is the day when the imperial court allocates military funds to various guards. Sun Yuan went to take office this time because he wanted to create a strong army that could fight and rely on, and he also needed to make preparations. For example, it would be best to get some armor and equipment at the military headquarters, and then some muskets and cannons.
In addition, you have to buy some supplies for the future.
Therefore, Sun Yuan spent some money to get Fei Hong an official position of deputy Qianhu. He was originally the military attache of the border army, and now he can be regarded as a re-established organizational relationship. As for the donkey and Wen Laosan, they bought a hundred military positions.
When leaving, Sun Yuanyou gave Fei Hong a hundred taels of gold in hand, gave him a list of supplies, and told him to hurry up and buy it.
Seeing Sun Yuan handing over most of his wealth to himself without blinking, Fei Hong was very moved, took out a stack of contracts from his arms and handed them to Sun Yuan, saying that this was the deed of sale between Erya and several brothers, and from now on, everyone will be Gongzi's house slaves. He also said that he, the donkey, and Wen Laosan were court officers, but it was inconvenient to write this contract.
Sun Yuan was shocked, and hurriedly said Brother Fei, why do you have to be like this, no need, no need.
Fei Hong was determined to let Sun Yuan accept it.
After resigning for a long time, Sun Yuan knew that Fei Hong was showing loyalty to himself, and if he didn't accept it, it would chill their hearts. In desperation, I had to take it.
After settling Fei Hong and the others, Sun Yuan took a boat and returned to Rugao with the Shaoyu sisters and brothers.
Finally seeing the familiar white pagoda in his hometown and thinking of his mother, Sun Yuan couldn't help but feel excited.
After the ship docked, Sun Yuan hired a sedan chair and asked Shao Yu and Shao Wei to go home first. Although it is said that Shaoyu people rarely talk to themselves along the way, in fact, they both know in their hearts that after Yang Ze's incident, Shaoyu people are already Sun Yuan's equal wife.
This time in Rugao, according to the etiquette system, Shaoyu people first have to go to meet their in-laws.
And Sun Yuan needed to go to the county government first and unload the errand of escorting the autumn grain to Beijing.
In fact, after the news of the Fengyang Revolution came back to Rugao, everyone already regarded Sun Yuan as a dead person. But he didn't want to, after more than three months, he actually came back alive.
There was a commotion in the county yamen, and a book office had already come to lead Sun Yuan over to meet the county lord Zhou Xiangchun.
In the study, Sun Yuan stood in front of Zhou Zhixian and arched his hand slightly: "Sun Yuan has seen the county lord." There was not the slightest respect on his countenance.
