Chapter 29: South to Tongzhou
This was deliberately said by Yang Tingjian to Chang Yanxiao, Yang Tingjian's meaning is very clear, if you Chang Yanxiao doesn't want to participate in this matter, then I won't force you, but don't go to the informant, otherwise be careful that your door will be wiped out.
After Chang Yanxiao listened to the cold words, it was like falling into an ice cave, and the awe-inspiring murderous aura emitted by Yang Tingjian's body made Chang Yanxiao shudder, Yang Tingjian killed the Liushen Wang Jiayin, and the horse stepped on the joint venture, killing at least a few hundred thieves, this murderous aura is gathered by all human lives, Chang Yanxiao is even if it is a thousand households in Jinyi Weinan Town, he has been on the battlefield where human lives are like grass.
"I don't dare to be lowly, I swear to the sky that I will never dare to betray my lord and the brothers of Nanzhen Fusi."
"That's good, Chang Qianhu will go to the various ministries tomorrow, and ask us for some iron and gunpowder for Nanzhen Fusi, the more the better, and the required expenses and dots will be withdrawn from the account office tomorrow."
Yang Tingjian, who had finished explaining, went to the Yamen of the Fusi of Beizhen again, and handled Shen Lian's dispatch order well, although the Fusi of Beizhen was powerful, he still did not dare to handle the Fusi of Nanzhen, who was in charge of their military discipline.
……
The next day, Yang Tingjian took Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing and Liang Cai to Nanzhen Fusi, which was the account room of gold and jade, and was now appointed by Yang Tingjian as the account room of Nanzhen Fusi.
Liang Cai never dreamed that he could also mix an official body, that was joy from the sky, in order to express his gratitude, Liang Cai knelt in front of Yang Tingjian and Jin Jiyu to express his loyalty for half an hour.
Yang Tingjian's use of Liangcai is mainly based on his ability to know the "four-pillar bookkeeping method", which is already a very advanced bookkeeping method in ancient times, and the modern "increase and decrease bookkeeping method" is almost the same, which eliminates the greed for ink from the book to the greatest extent.
The other is that Yang Tingjian feels that Liang Cai has worked under Jin Zhuyu for more than ten years, and he has not been greedy for ink, so he should be a relatively honest person and dare not do anything on the books.
Yang Tingjian introduced the four people he brought to Chang Yanxiao and Cao Shaoqin, except for Liangcai, who didn't know each other, Shen Lian and their three brothers were still relatively famous in Beizhen Fusi, because the martial arts of the three people were very good.
Since everyone knows each other, then things are easy to do, Cao Shaoqin's reorganization of the thousand households, Yang Tingjian does not plan to interfere, Cao Shaoqin and Chang Yanxiao, as Jinyi Wei Qianhu, definitely have their own loyal subordinates, even if Yang Tingjian is their boss, they should leave a certain amount of space for them, don't hold all the power in their hands, that will only make their subordinates and themselves deviate.
Today, Yang Tingjian's explanation is very simple, Chang Yanxiao and Cao Shaoqin's tasks remain unchanged, and the tasks of Lu Jianxing and Shen Lian are also arranged by Yang Tingjian, that is, to recruit troops with Yang Tingjian.
The silver used for recruiting soldiers was robbed by Yang Tingjian from the thief king Jiayin last time, and the silver tickets alone were more than one million taels, and Yang Tingjian had not counted other gold and silver jewelry, and was thrown by Yang Tingjian in his rental house! In fact, more than one million taels of silver tickets are enough for Yang Tingjian to recruit troops and horses, after all, Yang Tingjian can recruit up to 2,000 people.
Where to recruit troops! Of course, it's Tongzhou, because Yang Tingjian only wants to recruit children from good families who are able to endure hardships and stand hard work and are afraid of military law, and Tongzhou, as the end point of the Grand Canal, has a lot of coolies such as slender men and porters.
These people are the soldiers that Yang Tingjian wants, and the horses are also the largest horse market in Tongzhou, Shandong and Hebei have always been the places where the imperial court raised horses, and most of the people who sold horses were concentrated in Tongzhou. What's more, Yang Tingjian didn't want to recruit Jinyiwei in the capital with great fanfare, otherwise he would be impeached by the officials, and the civil official group was very sensitive to Jinyiwei.
Jin Yiwei is the emperor's minions, the emperor arrests ministers, and most of them use Jinyi Wei Ti to ride, the minister commits a crime, and he is also imprisoned in the edict, and the torture and interrogation are also Jinyiwei's errands. That's for sure.
After arranging things, Yang Tingjian took Shen Lian and dozens of elite horsemen straight to Tongzhou, and now the time is pressing! Emperor Chongzhen can't wait to take down all the big businessmen in Shanxi tomorrow to ask for guilt, so that all their silver can be filled into the treasury, Emperor Chongzhen is really anxious, otherwise he would not have appointed Yang Tingjian as the Nanzhen Fusi to calm down because Yang Tingjian could rob him of silver.
At this time, Tongzhou was still very prosperous, and was not affected by any military disasters, and the merchant ships from the south to the north were endless on the canal, but the ragged slender men and porters constituted a discordant picture with this beautiful scenery.
There are also a lot of people begging along the street, because the drought that began in March of the third year of Chongzhen has not been alleviated until now, and the disaster situation in Shandong is extremely severe.
Yang Tingjian took a group of Jinyi guards to ride directly to the city gate of Tongzhou, where did the soldiers guarding the gate dare to provoke these Jinyi Wei uncles, and hurriedly bowed their heads and asked Yang Tingjian to enter the city, and at the end of the day, he also asked Yang Tingjian to inform the adults in Tongzhou.
"Slap ......" Yang Tingjian casually threw a silver ingot to the captain who was guarding the city gate, and said:
"This official has another business trip here, you are familiar with the local people, are you willing to do a little little thing for this adult?"
When the captain heard that this brocade-clothed guard needed him to run errands, he hurriedly knelt down and replied loudly to Yang Tingjian's question:
"The villain Zhang Gui is a small flag guarded by Tongzhou, and he is willing to listen to the dispatch of adults."
Yang Tingjian even forgot to ask his name, but fortunately, this kid was very clever, and hurriedly reported his situation, for fear that Yang Tingjian would forget his name.
"Well, for the time being, you will be under the command of Lord Ben! This afternoon, you will go and inform the major horse shops in the city, so that they can come to the official post tomorrow, and this lord needs to buy war horses, and the price is absolutely fair. ”
"The villain obeys."
Yang Tingjian didn't talk much to the captain, as soon as he clamped the war horse under his crotch with his legs, he rode into the city with dozens of brocade-clothed guards, and the captain remembered that he still didn't know the name of this adult! But he didn't dare to ask, so he could only watch Yang Tingjian leave in the dust.
In Daming, no one dared to pretend to be a brocade guard, Wang Hui hurriedly turned around and shouted to several soldiers guarding the city gate:
"You guys have shown the city gate to Lao Tzu, I am now going to do the errand that Lord Jinyiwei explained, and Uncle Ben will invite you to eat and drink in the restaurant in the evening."
"Thank you, boss, you have to go early and come back early!"
"You bunnies, keep your eyes open for Lao Tzu, don't do anything to Lao Tzu."
Wang Hui put his hands behind his back and walked away with his head held high, like a proud.
