Chapter 12: Xu Guangqi
In the barracks, all units have been properly settled, and Zhang Zai and the three have already inspected the barracks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After wandering around most of the military camp, the seemingly ordinary camp was hiding a murderous purpose, Zhang Zai said with emotion: "Just looking at the skills of camping, Wen Yuan can be called a generation of famous generals." ”
Zhang Liao said modestly: "The lord praised it falsely, camping is the basic quality of a general, and it is not the standard of a famous general." ”
Zhang Zai smiled slightly, noncommittal.
After the entire camp was transferred, Zhang Zai came to the back camp under the pretext of checking the logistics, and specially asked Xu Guangqi to be called.
Xue Rengui and the others were a little puzzled, this Xu Guangqi was just an ordinary official, why Zhang Zai was in a hurry to see him.
At this time, it has entered the unitary hour, and in another hour, the city gate will be closed.
Not long after, Xu Guangqi had already come to Zhang Zai.
Looking at Xu Guangqi, Xue Rengui and the others almost couldn't believe that this was the person Zhang Zai wanted to meet.
Xu Guangqi is about thirty years old, his appearance is very ordinary, his skin is a little dark, it is the result of perennial exposure to the sun, if he wears a coarse linen clothes, I believe there is no difference from a farmer.
The only thing that makes people remember him is his eyes, bright, deep, shining with wisdom.
Seeing Zhang Zai, Xu Guangqi bent down and saluted, and said without humility or arrogance: "Little official Xu Chen, meet the lord." ”
Zhang Zai stretched out his hand to help Xu Guangqi and said, "Guangqi doesn't have to be polite, I heard that since Guangqi has been in charge of grain and grass, all the accounts have been correct, but is there such a thing?" ”
Xu Guangqi replied: "The little official is in charge of grain, grass and sundries, and it is a matter of duty to calculate the daily entry and exit, and Chen does not dare to take credit." ”
Zhang Zai: "Although the grain and grass are easy to calculate, but the amount is huge, I think you will be proficient in this way." ”
Xu Guangqi said modestly: "I understand a little." ”
Zhang Zai asked: "So, I'll test you, okay?" ”
Xu Guangqi said calmly: "Please ask the lord to come up with the question." ”
"Today, there are chickens and rabbits in the same cage, there are thirty-five heads on the top, and ninety-four feet on the bottom. Now I picked out the most classic chickens and rabbits in the same cage problem in "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
"Three out of twenty chickens and twelve rabbits." Xu Guangqi replied almost without thinking.
"Today those who do good deeds do a hundred steps, and those who do not do good deeds walk sixty steps. Today, those who do not do good deeds will take a hundred steps first, and those who do good deeds will chase after them, and ask how many steps can they reach?"
"Two hundred and fifty steps."
……
Suddenly, Zhang Zai changed his conversation and began to ask him about how to govern Yanmen.
Xu Guangqi knew that this was Zhang Zai's test, took a deep breath, and said the method and plan in his heart.
The two of them asked and answered, but they left Xue Rengui and the others next to them aside, but the two didn't care, but they looked at Xu Guangqi differently and admired Zhang Zai's vision even more.
"Okay, Guangqi Dacai, to any small knife and pen officer, but it is Qu Cai, now that a certain has just arrived, there is a lack of a large number of civil officials in the Taishou Mansion, Guangqi can serve as a meritorious Cao, and the rest of the scribes and small officials, you can appoint and dismiss yourself."
A trace of excitement flashed in Xu Guangqi's eyes, he studied hard for many years, isn't it just to be able to show his strengths, from a small official, to be promoted to Taishou Mansion Gongcao, the difference in the middle can not be calculated, directly thanked him: "Thank you lord, Chen will live up to the lord in this life, if you have a different heart, you will die under the arrows." ”
The ancients swore a heavy oath, and as soon as these words came out, Xue Rengui and the others also admired Xu Guangqi in their hearts, and they also expressed their words one after another: "I am willing to swear to the death for the Lord!" ”
"Haha! If you want to live, Yanmen is worry-free. Jang Jae laughed heartily.
Then he ordered someone to go to the city to buy wine, and the military camp originally banned alcohol, but today, Zhang Zai broke the precedent and placed wine and food in the army, and the four of them drank happily in the big tent.
After a few bottles of wine, Xue Rengui and the three of them also let go of their restraints and began to talk freely.
Somehow, when it came to today's incident, Zhang Zai's heart moved, and he asked Xu Guangqi how to deal with it next.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Guangqi said: "Lord, Chen thinks that it is better for this Wang family not to move, at least not for now. ”
Zhang Zai also understood that this Wang disciple couldn't move, and said: "What Guangqi said is good, in your opinion, how can this Wang family not move?" ”
"Now that Yanmen has just experienced a catastrophe, the lord has just taken office, and the people's will is not attached, and this Wang family has been operating in Yanmen for a hundred years, and the power is intertwined, and its involvement is too wide, once the Wang family is in trouble, with our current strength, it is difficult to compete." Xu Guangqi briefly stated his opinion, and then said: "As for how to deal with this matter, I don't have a good plan yet. ”
"Indeed, with our current forces, we are simply not able to suppress the rebellion." Xue Rengui and Zhang Liao are also wise generals, and their strategic vision is not bad, and then looking at Zhang Zai, Xue Rengui asked, "I don't know how the lord plans to deal with this matter?" ”
Xu Guangqi also looked at Zhang Zai expectantly, he is better at internal affairs, and he has no research on this kind of conspiracy.
The people in the tent are all his henchmen, and there is nothing to hide, Zhang Zai directly told them his thoughts: "At the beginning, I didn't plan to punish them heavily, just to give the family in the county an attitude and set an example for the chickens and monkeys, but now I have some new ideas." ”
After satisfying the appetite of the three of them, Zhang Zaicai said slowly: "It's very simple, let the people of the Wang family take money to atone for their sins." ”
The three of them looked at each other, what is the method of taking money to atone for their crimes, once a large number of families imitate Wang Tao and commit a crime, they can clear their names by spending some money, then the whole county will be chaotic.
Seeing that the three of them looked ignorant, Zhang Zai said with a serious face: "There is not much money, just a few hundred gold, and Wang Tao still has to take some pain." ”
"And the few hundred gold will be used to restore production in the county, hehe......"
The three of them also laughed after hearing this, and at the same time began to pay silent tribute to Wang Tao.
Compared with the cheerfulness of Zhang Zai and the others, the head of the Wang family in the city was quite angry.
His son was sent to the Taishou Mansion, where he was guarded by the Taishou's own soldiers, and he sent people to negotiate several times, but they all came back to report that the Taishou was not in the mansion.
"Bang ......"
The housekeeper didn't remember that this was the first teacup that the head of the house had dropped, and in the lobby, the blanket on the floor had been soaked with tea stains.
"Huangkou Xiaoer, it is really unreasonable to deceive my Wang family like this." After dropping the teacup, the head of the Wang family was still angry and scolded Zhang Zai.
He has already known Zhang Zai's origin through some channels, but it is just a declining family, after his father's death, he is left alone in the head of the Zhang family, and the branch veins are also too busy to take care of themselves, compared to the Wang family in the sky, the Zhang family is an ant.
After a burst of scolding, the head of the Wang family was also tired, knelt down at the table, sighed, and asked, "Is there any news from the Taishou Mansion?" ”
The housekeeper shook his head and said, "The people of the Taishou Mansion have passed the word, and Zhang Zai has not come back until now. Then he proposed: "Why don't you let Captain Wang Bao lead the county soldiers ......?"
"Absolutely not, let's not say that he is the imperial court's fateful guard, and he still has an elite army in his hands, if he escapes by chance, he will reach the heavens and kill the minister, which is enough to make the Wang family irreversible." The head of the Wang family didn't wait for the butler to finish speaking, and then interrupted him.
"This rebel!" Thinking of what his son Wang Tao did, the head of the Wang family was also powerless, robbing the people's daughters, and happened to be met by Taishou, if he hadn't found out Zhang Zai's origin, he almost thought that it was a big family targeting him Wang.
"Go, send more people to find out where Zhang Zai is." The head of the Wang family waved his hand and motioned for the housekeeper to go down.
"Master of the family, that young master Wang Wei ......" The housekeeper wanted to speak and stopped, not knowing how to speak.
The head of the Wang family said with an expression on his face: "Wang Wei's matter, I won't pursue it, he is just acting on orders, besides, his position as the city gate guard is still useful, solve this matter first." ”
