Chapter 134: The Cavalry Soldiers
PS: This book can have its current results, thanks to the support of the majority of book friends and the great trust of the editor in charge of 7-up. To be honest, the update of this book has not been very stable, but after it is put on the shelves, the East Building will ensure the frequency of three more from tomorrow, and if it is faster, it is really weak, sorry, sorry!
In the side hall of the logistics office, there are more than 20 young boys and girls in ragged clothes, the oldest is only eleven or twelve years old, and the youngest is only five or six years old.
At this moment, this group of young people was munching around a round table, and there were no delicacies on the table, but some delicate pastries and snacks to eat, for this group of young people, such a food with such a color and flavor, even in a dream, had never been seen, let alone taken at will, as in front of them.
In the room separated by a curtain from the side hall here, Ximenqing held a cup of tea, drank it slowly, and stood a manager of the logistics office.
"In the past three years, the Dengzhou Salesian Bureau has taken in a total of 47 orphans and children, of whom 7 have reached the age of 14 and have been sold into slavery by wealthy families in the city, and 5 have been put into the prostitution of Goolan.
Ximenqing heard this report, and silently calculated in his heart, even if he didn't count the children who were taken in three years ago, there were thirty-five people in the bureau who should have stayed, but now the children who are eating in the hall are only eleven boys and seven girls, and there are only eighteen in total, but there is a difference of nearly half.
"Damn it!"
"Xianggong, based on the situation of visiting the surrounding residents of the logistics center in the past few days, there are at least twenty new entrants to the Salesian Bureau every year!"
For such tragic events that kill young children. Ximen Qing also hated the root of his teeth, and only complained that Lu Zhishen was too reckless, if this matter was done by himself. But the officials of the Salesian Bureau who want to rectify can't survive or die, and only in this way can they relieve the blockages in their hearts a little.
"But it's cheap, that black-hearted thief embryo!"
In fact, Ximenqing has not done nothing, all the officials of the Salesian Bureau have been subjected to all kinds of calculations in the past few days, or the money in the family has disappeared. or those who have a business and make a living have been inspected by the government, or those who work in various government offices have been swept away......
In short, there are so many of them. The list goes on, anyway, he has become an unlucky guy who drinks cold water and stuffs his teeth.
For this matter, everyone knows that it is the adult of the logistics office who is attacking these black-hearted people. It's just that his arms can't reach his thighs. Even if he understood it in his heart, he could only grit his teeth and swallow it, not daring to resist at all.
In fact, anyone who can be a small official in the government is often passed down by several generations of incense, and father, son and son are in charge of this bowl of rice. Such people may not be in the eyes of those old men and gentlemen, but they can be in front of ordinary people. But he is a master, and he has to do evil on weekdays. It's just that the people are afraid of their connections and power in the yamen, and they dare not speak out.
Now that the matter has been issued, these people have lost their momentum, and they have no old days to rely on, and the people in their own clan were beaten by Ximenqing in the hall of the state government that day, where do they dare to care. Therefore, in the past, these people in the evil township have become street rats that everyone shouts and beats, and even those who have accumulated resentment for several lifetimes also take this opportunity to sprinkle it fiercely.
used such means to rectify these guys, but in the eyes of the manager of the logistics office and the guards, his father-in-law is still a benevolent master. Not for anything else, it is already extremely rare to not take care of the lives of such people.
Colvocal language: Breaking the county order, destroying the door of the mansion Yin.
Thinking about Ximenqing's powerful position today, if he wants to quietly calculate the lives of these small people, it is really the same as a snap, and he doesn't even need to open his mouth, with a look, someone has done everything properly.
"Xianggong, I just don't know how to arrange this young child?"
This steward is in his fifties, and now he is the chief steward of the outer house of the Ximen Mansion. He was already in the mansion when Ximen Qing's father was born, and he can be regarded as a real confidant old man, and Ximen Mansion is both a loss and a glory. The three sons of the family are all in charge of the business of Ximen Mansion in various places, and they all married maids who went out of the inner house.
"Don't be in a hurry, you go to the Sailor Wharf to find a place first, it must be bigger, and these children will be placed for the time being, and I can't tell how many more will come later."
Originally, the Salesian Bureau was set up by the dynasty, and the royal treasury allocated funds for the adoption of orphaned children in the private sector. At the beginning of the construction, it can be regarded as a good governance that benefits the people, but after more than 150 years, it has long become a tool for officials to make money, especially after today's official family inherits the unification, arrogant and lascivious, and builds palaces and gardens.
After cutting off the normal revenue, some of the things that were originally done secretly and privately were gradually put on the table in the name of raising funds and became a well-known thing. Those high-ranking families and prostitutes who bought men, women, and children from the Salesian Bureau were all engaged in human trafficking in the name of donations.
Seeing the subtle knowledge, just one place in the Salesian Bureau of Dengzhou, you can imagine the situation of the Salesian Bureau in various state capitals. After all, those orphans and young children who are completely in a very vulnerable position are almost defenseless in the face of oppression and exploitation by the government and the yamen.
Ximenqing is the most urgent person now, but the power in his hands is too weak, and the only ones who can really rely on him at a critical moment are Yang Zaixing and a group of young cavalry. Those teenagers who escaped from the slave traders were loyal to Ximen Qingzi. In their eyes, the imperial court and government are not important, and only Ximenqing is the benefactor who is willing to serve his life.
Such a completely own family, the real heart of the force, Ximen Qingzi spared no expense, for this young cavalry army, in just a few months, the money invested before and after has been equal to about 20% of the cost of rebuilding the Dengzhou Naval Division. You must know that the 3,000 soldiers of the Nadengzhou Navy Division are all newly recruited and trained, and there are also sailors who have renovated and newly made war ships, which cost an astonishing amount. There are only 173 young cavalry soldiers and more than 500 war horses, but Ximenqing has prepared more than 1,000 war horse armor and cavalry elite armor for them, which are purchased from the warehouses of the forbidden army stationed in various state capitals in Shandong through various channels. If these things are found out, I am afraid that with Ximenqing's current position of power, he will not be able to keep his head.
Of course, the people who do these things are not the people of the logistics office, and the methods and handling personnel are varied, and it is tantamount to a fantasy to find the ultimate buyer of Ximenqing, with the ability of the local government of the Great Song Dynasty.
With enough sophisticated equipment, Ximen Qingzheng has been having a headache recently, and the number of this young cavalry is really small, at least there must be a command of 500 people to be reasonable, otherwise it will be too weak.
I never thought that although the reckless "flower monk" caused a lot of trouble for himself, he also solved a big problem unintentionally. Between gains and losses, if you calculate carefully, you still make more money. (To be continued......)
