Chapter 59: The Dust of History (Part II)

If it weren't for Wu Liangmou's self-recommendation, he led a group of Shanyang disciples to drill into Huai'an from the drainage ditch and open the city gate from the inside. With the strength and strength of the left army of Xuzhou at that time, even if Huai'an City was forcibly breached, it would have to break its muscles and bones. It is impossible to continue to gain a firm foothold in the city, let alone go south to Yangzhou in the future and build such a fruitful foundation as it is now.

Therefore, although Han Jianhong lost a leg that night, he was proud of it for the rest of his life. Whenever someone mentioned it in person, he would be very happy to tell them about the whole destruction of the city, and he would never get tired of it a hundred times. It's just that today's conversation was just deliberately hooked up by several subordinates, and was shattered by a sudden noise outside the door.

"Who's making noise outside? Lao Qin, please go out and have a look! Just like the groom who had just entered the cave room but was forcibly taken out to accompany the guests, Han Jianhong couldn't tell how angry he was. Immediately straighten up your face and command loudly.

"Yes, sir!" The secretary Qin might as well stand up, and while slowly swallowing and walking out, he complained in a chattering voice, "It is estimated that it is Huke's side again, those guys, there is no quiet time all day long!" Isn't this about to enter autumn, and the land that was divided the year before last should be harvested again! ”

The Grand Governor's Office advocates centralized handling of official affairs, and the eight bureaus, one courtyard and two places are all gathered together in one courtyard. As a result, the other levels of government went up and down, and placed all the departments under their jurisdiction in the same courtyard as much as possible. Even if it can't be placed for a while, it will be placed on adjacent lots, and they will interact with each other.

Therefore, the Yangzhou Road Soldier Section where Han Jianhong and others are located, and the Yangzhou Road Household Section is next to the left side. However, it is very different from the situation of the military department at the door every day, and the household department is full of guests from morning to night, and the house is full of friends. I'm almost squeezing a hole in the roof!

Today, however, is a bit peculiar. The secretary Qin Hao just walked to the entrance of the inner hall of the military department, and he didn't even poke his head out of the door curtain, so he immediately went backwards and returned, "My lord, no, it's not the household department, it's us, our military department." Many people poured into the courtyard, and the chengguan who was responsible for maintaining order was almost unstoppable. My lord, go out and show your face. Otherwise, something big will happen! ”

"Come to us? Are you greedy for other people's retirement and resettlement fees? When Han Jianhong heard this, he was immediately taken aback, and his questioning voice blurted out.

Some time ago, he gave up on himself, so he ignored the daily affairs of the military department, and relied on the deputy governor Tang Tao and the secretary Qin to take care of it. According to his observations, these subordinates are a little petty. Witnessing thousands of resettlement costs for retired soldiers rolling past me every month, it is hard to guarantee that I will not move some fancy intestines.

"Nope!" When Deputy Governor Tang Tao and others heard this, they immediately jumped up and denied it in unison. "My lord, wronged! We are wronged! We are all saints, we have all read the books of sages, and we know the law of the land and shame! ”

"It's good if you don't have it, you don't need to shout so loudly! If not, no matter who knocks on the door, Han may not be afraid of him. Otherwise, even if you only deduct one yuan and one penny, Han Mou can't speak hard, and it is difficult to guarantee that you are safe and sound! Unexpectedly, everyone's reaction was so intense, Han Jianhong was stunned, and added with a sneer.

When Tang Tao and the others heard this, their faces suddenly turned red again. After hesitating again and again, he finally responded in a gnat-like voice, "Late, one or two days late every month, it must be inevitable." If you think about it, Yangzhou City alone needs to be given a close relationship to the disabled on a regular basis, and there are only 1,800 people. There are still many wounded soldiers whose families are not in Yangzhou, and their subordinates have to go through special procedures to transfer them to the place. Therefore, subordinates, subordinates, etc. are sometimes afraid, afraid that it is not safe to put money in the house, so they will store it in the cabinet of Huaiyang firm. When you need it at any time, you can go to the business name at any time to withdraw it! ”

"Damn it!" When Han Jianhong heard this, he couldn't help but scold in a low voice. "You idiots! Isn't it enough to spend such a high monthly salary to fight such a dirty idea? In case it is found by the Internal Affairs Department, you will wait to dig coal for the rest of your life! ”

As a former ambassador of the salt administration, he used to have thousands of copper coins in his hands every day. During his tenure, he personally identified and dealt with more than 100 internal ghosts, so he knew too well that he was tired of money turnover.

The money is stored in the counter of the zài firm, and it is taken with interest. Although the points given by the merchant are not too high, the amount of thousands of yuan, every additional day saved, you can get an extra few hundred yuan in interest. Of course, the interest on the money generated will not be distributed to the retired veterans together with the principal. Instead, it unknowingly turned into oil and water and entered the pockets of several parties.

"My lord spares my life, I won't dare to wait until later!" Frightened by the fierce murderous aura that suddenly appeared on Han Jianhong's body, several subordinates of the military department and the yamen fell to their knees and begged loudly. "I'm waiting, I'm waiting, I'm also learning this trick from somewhere else. I really don't dare to do it again in the future, please be merciful!"

"Be merciful, Lao Tzu himself will be killed by you!" Han Jianhong glared at everyone viciously, and his heart was more uncomfortable than eating a hundred big flies in a row.

In fact, according to the current laws promulgated by the Great Governor's Office, even if Tang Tao and others are caught, it is difficult to be convicted. But this kind of dirty method made him can't help but feel disgusted. "You bastards know what you're doing, don't you know? Several times a month, there are a lot of dividends at the end of the year. You're just a few hundred pieces away? Or do you feel like you're losing money if you don't take advantage of it?! ”

The subordinates were scolded speechless, and they only prostrated with sweat. When Han Lao Liu saw it, he inevitably relented again. "That's it, that's it, I'm already like this anyway, I'll take it for you! Grandma's, Lao Tzu has really been moldy for eight lifetimes, and he is a subordinate of you bastards! ”

After scolding, he set up his crutches and walked out the door. When the subordinate officials saw it, they quickly jumped up, helped the door open, and put their arms together, hoping that the troublemakers outside would take the initiative to stop the drum for the sake of their boss's lack of a leg.

As a result, when they walked outside the house, they immediately scolded in their hearts, "Grandma's Qin is not as good, you are blind." Trouble, is there still a queue to make trouble? These hundreds of men, none of them are missing arms or legs, where is the slightest appearance of a retired wounded soldier? ”

"What's going on? Who's making noise outside? Han Jianhong saw the neat flow of people outside the house, and felt that the situation was completely different from what Qin Bu had reported earlier. However, he didn't have time to understand more specifically, so he could only hold up the military governor's shelf for the time being and ask loudly.

"Your Excellency, you've figured it out! I'm busy! As soon as the words fell, Han Jiuwu, a family member who was in charge of picking him up and going to and from work, ran over and reported with a sweaty head, "Enlisted, they are all here to enlist as soldiers!" The little ones were afraid that they would crowd around, so they let them line up outside first. Also, thanks to these chengguan brothers, if they hadn't rushed over to help, these guys would probably have been able to break into your house directly! ”

"Recruited?" Han Jianhong was slightly stunned. What a new thing today! In Yangzhou City, there are actually people who are willing to be auxiliaries again, and there are hundreds of them as soon as they come! You must know that as early as half a month ago, in order to recruit auxiliaries for the Sixth Army, the military department specially sent personnel to Tianchang and Rugao counties to support stalls. Together with the local soldier Cao Xiaoguan, he broke his lips and barely pulled up a thousand people.

"I've seen Han Tou!" In a daze, several chengguan who were responsible for maintaining order ran forward together, raised their hands and gave a standard military salute.

The sentence "Han Tou" immediately brought Han Jianhong back to his youthful years. first raised his hand, seriously returned the military salute to the chengguan, and then said in a dumb voice: "Thank you, thank you, brothers." You, how many of you are also from the old left army? ”

"Report to the chief, the villain Xie Dexing is an army on the north bank of the Yellow River! A few of them, a few of them are soldiers I have led! The little leader of the black-clothed chengguan folded his legs together and responded loudly, "We were all injured in Jiangnan last year. Seeing that my arms and legs were quite neat, he asked me to change careers and become a city manager! ”

"Everyone has worked hard!" Han Jianhong raised his hand again and saluted the black-clothed city managers. "Don't be in a hurry to leave when it's over, I'll invite you for lunch!"

"Don't dare, don't dare, Han Tou, the brothers just passed by here, afraid of chaos, so they took care of it. Don't break the bank, I'll wait for something else. Han Tou, I got it. Don't break the bank, I'll get it! The black-clothed city managers also raised their hands again and respectfully returned the salute to Han Jianhong.

These people are either missing fingers, or empty sleeves, and some have ugly scars on their faces. But between the words, they are full of self-confidence that is rare in ordinary people. It's as if those scars are ribbons, proving their former glory.

"Then another day! Everyone can come over at any time, I can arrange it at any time! Han Jianhong knew that the city management was subject to discipline, so he didn't force everyone. He smiled and added in a low voice.

"Thank you Han Tou! You're busy first, I'll come and see you when I'm free! ”

"Han Tou, you can let someone come out of the table first. These people are all signed up to be soldiers, and they don't make trouble. We'll look at it for you! The city managers were gossiping and were very enthusiastic to give Han Jianhong ideas.

At this moment, Han Jianhong had time to find his subordinates to solve their doubts. Raising his hand, he pulled over the deputy governor Tang Tao, who was about to move the tables and chairs, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is going on?" You sent someone to post notices yesterday, why don't I have any impression at all? ”

"No, it's not a notice!" Deputy Governor Tang Tao grinned and responded in a low voice, "Yes, it's the chief manager who is in charge of him, and his old man is a trick." Your Excellency, you haven't had time to see it yet. The official document was sent down this morning, saying that as long as he could become a soldier, he would be granted 15 acres of land immediately, and that he would be allowed to buy and sell at will. This gang, these guys must have come for those fifteen acres of fertile land. Grandma, these guys have really sharp noses! Look, this is just the beginning, and next, I don't know how many people are going to break their heads and become soldiers to eat food! ”
