"You think of the Loop?" Yang He frowned: "It's too far away from here, right?" ”

"It's not to Hetao, but to Datong or Xuanfu, preferably Xuanfu, because Xuanfu is relatively close to here, and the horse market is the most prosperous there." Black Cloud Crane Road.

Yang He thought silently for a while when he heard this.

Yang He knows where Datong is, after all, Datong Coal Mine is famous all over the country.

Yang He knew that Datong was located in the northernmost part of Shanxi, bordering Inner Mongolia and Mongolia, and there was no doubt that it must have been an important border town during the Ming Dynasty.

But where the Xuanfu is located, Yang He is not clear.

However, Hei Yunhe said that Xuanfu is relatively close to Funing County, which should be in Hebei Province, and it is at the border with Mongolia in the north, otherwise it will not be a border pass. However, the area bordering Hebei Province and Mongolia is so large that Yang He really can't think of where Xuanfu will be.

(Note: There was no Hebei Province in the Ming Dynasty, and part of Hebei Province belonged to the Northern Zhili during the Ming Dynasty, part of it belonged to the Shanxi Political Envoy, part of it belonged to the Shandong Political Envoy, and part of it belonged to the Henan Political Envoy Division.) ）

Sighing softly, Yang He said in his heart: If only there was a map of the Ming Dynasty.

Shaking his head, Yang He smiled bitterly, now is not the time to think about the map.

After thinking about it, Yang He said: "Second brother, I am thinking about this matter, how to make Liu Qi speak." ”

The Black Cloud Crane nodded slightly.

Looking at the sky, Heiyunhe smiled and said: "Brother, you will go to Funing County tomorrow, this time, it is estimated that it will take many days to come back, let's have a good drink tonight." ”

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "It's okay to drink, I'm afraid that you and the third brother won't be able to parry." ”

Black Cloud Crane laughed when he heard this: "If you can't parry, you have to sacrifice your life to accompany you." ”

Yang He smiled and shook his head: "Second brother, let's come to Japan for a long time, I want to think about something tonight." ”

"Then we have to eat, too." Black Cloud Crane laughed.

"Rice is naturally to be eaten." Yang He said with a smile.

Black Cloud Crane got up and said, "Then let's go." ”

Yang He smiled and nodded.

……

Early the next morning, Yang He returned to Funing County with Li Wei and Zhao Liangsong.

Halfway through, Li Wei broke up with Yang He, went to Xiangshan to find Sun Defu to extract silver taels, and then took them to Ganzhou, while Yang He took Zhao Liangsong to the county seat.

When he arrived at the county office, he saw a group of craftsmen dismantling the broken old bricks and tiles on the outer wall of the yamen, Yang He turned back to Zhao Liangsong and smiled: "These people are very fast." ”

Zhao Liangsong knew that the Wei Institute had lost a sum of money to Funing County, and he also knew that repairing the county government was Yang He's suggestion.

Hearing Yang He ridiculing the officials in Funing County, Zhao Liangsong smiled and said, "My lord, you gave me the idea, they still have to repair it as soon as possible." ”

Yang He smiled and shook his head: "After saying this, who am I, how can I talk about giving Master Zhang their ideas?" ”

"No one is an adult, how can they have a good life now, and they naturally want to listen to what adults say." Zhao Liangdong said with a smile.

Yang He turned to look at Zhao Liangsong and said, "Do you know how much right and wrong you will attract if what you said just now spreads?" Don't say that again. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liangdong hurriedly restrained his smile and nodded solemnly.

While talking, the two entered the county office, and the officer on duty saw Yang He and hurriedly said: "Mr. Yang Qian, the county lord is trying the case, do you go to the back hall to rest for a while, or go in to hear the trial?" ”

Yang He said with a smile: "I have never seen the magistrate judge the case, I will listen at the door." ”

The officer hurriedly said, 'How can I let you listen at the door?' Let's go into the lobby. ”

Yang He smiled and waved his hand: "What do you say?" What kind of body is seen by others. Okay, you go on an errand. ”

Seeing that Yang He insisted on refusing to go in, the errand officer was helpless, gave a salute, and returned to the hall.

Yang He stood at the door and looked at the court, only to see Zhang Fengqi sitting in the center, Hu Xiancheng sitting at Zhang Fengqi's hands, several officials stationed on both sides of the hall with water and fire sticks, one kneeling in front of the hall, and one standing beside him.

This scene is very similar to the county trial in the film and television drama, if there is anything different, it is that there are no people outside the hall to watch the excitement.

This case may be a small case, after Zhang Fengqi asked a few words, the trial began to be concluded, and the verdict was very simple, the defendant was pulled out and beaten for twenty boards, even if the case was judged, Yang He only felt bored when he saw it.

The plaintiff and the defendant were sent away, and the two classes of officials were dispersed, and Zhang Fengqi and Hu County Chengfang walked out of the public hall quickly.

"Brother Yang, why are you standing outside?" Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

"Master Zhang is trying the case inside, how can I get in?" Yang He said with a smile.

Smiling, Yang He continued: "What kind of case, I see that you are trying very quickly." ”

Zhang Fengqi shook his head and smiled: "It's not a case at all, two villagers quarreled over a trivial matter, and one of them beat the other." ”

"Just this little thing alarmed the county master?" Yang Heqi said.

"I don't need to try such a small case personally, but there are no cases these days, so I personally inquired about it." Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

"It can't be that I haven't put out the score of the county master for a few days, and I feel upset, right?" Yang He quipped.

Zhang Fengqi smiled when he heard this: "Hehe, I really let you tell you, let me tell you, this county master can only show his majesty at this time." ”

Yang He couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

While laughing, several people came to the back hall.

After sitting separately, Zhang Fengqi smiled and said: "Brother Yang hasn't come to my county office for a few days, I don't know what you are doing today?" ”

Yang He took out the outline of recruiting township soldiers from his arms and handed it to Zhang Fengqi: "I plan to recruit township soldiers, can you see if it's feasible?" ”

Zhang Fengqi took it and read it carefully, and then handed the outline to Hu Xiancheng.

After reading it, Hu Xiancheng groaned: "Lord Yang, the conditions you opened seem to be too generous, right?" Who is this village soldier? Even the serious officers and soldiers of the imperial court don't have this treatment, right? According to your standards, it will cost at least 700 taels of silver a month to recruit these 800 village soldiers and 30 teaching gentlemen, and those gentry and rich businessmen may not pay this money, and the county will not be able to take out so much money at all. ”

Yang He smiled: "I didn't expect others to help me pay for it, and I didn't want the county to pay for it." I pay for the military salary. ”

Hu Xiancheng shook his head: "The adults recruited soldiers to protect the territory and the people, how can you get the adults to pay for themselves?" The county always has to bear some of it, and those gentry and wealthy merchants also have to get a part, but the military salary set by the adults is too high, so let's reduce it. ”

"I'm afraid that if I give less money, I won't be able to recruit people." Yang He said.

"Hahaha, my brother laughed, didn't let them go out to fight, go out and work hard, how could they not recruit people? Let me tell you, if you pay four dollars a month, I'm afraid those ordinary people will squeeze their heads to sign up. Zhang Fengqi said with a smile.

Yang He shook his head, groaned for a while, took out the training outline and handed it to Zhang Fengqi.

Zhang Fengqi took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasp: "Brother Yang, where are you training the township soldiers, and the imperial court army is not trained like this, right?" ”

"I want to build a really elite force." Yang He said.

Zhang Fengqi nodded silently when he heard this: "My brother has such ambitions, so I naturally have to support my brother." ”

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." Yang He hugged his fists.

Zhang Fengqi waved his hand, turned his head to Hu Xiancheng and said, "You immediately draw up a notice according to Brother Yang's recruitment outline." ”

"Yes." Hu County Cheng Road.

Yang He turned to Zhao Liangsong and said, "Liang Song, you go and help Hu Xiancheng write." ”

Zhao Liangsong nodded yes.

Hearing Yang He call Zhao Liangsong's name, Zhang Fengqi showed a slight look of surprise, and when Hu Xiancheng and Zhao Liangsong went out, Zhang Fengqi groaned and said: "Brother, how do you call Zhao Liangsong's name, not his words?" ”

Yang He was stunned: "Is there anything wrong?" ”

Zhang Fengqi shook his head and said: "The Book of Rites: Tan Gong Shang" says: young name, crown.

"Shu" cloud: Born in March and the beginning of the name, so the name of the cloud, the twenty years have the way of being a father, friends and other categories can not be called by their names, so the crown and the word.

"Etiquette and Ceremony": Title and word, respect its name. The monarch's father used to call his name, and others called him the word.

Therefore, it is very impolite to call a literati by his first name.

If there is a number, then call his number, if there is no number, then call his character, if it is a senior, after the number or word should be added Gong or Mr., for example, I called Zhang Juzheng Mr. Taiyue last time, Taiyue is the number of Lord Zhang. ”

When Yang He heard this, he suddenly remembered that the last time he asked Zhang Fengqi how much land he had in Daming, Zhang Fengqi had said that Mr. Taiyue had cleared the land of the whole country in the sixth year of Wanli, and he didn't know who this Mr. Taiyue was at that time, and he was embarrassed to ask, but now he knows that this Mr. Taiyue is Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Fengqi smiled and continued: "If you are a peer, add brother after the word, if you don't know the other party's trade name, then add brother after the surname, but you can't call the other party's name."

Brother, only the elders of the monarch can be named, you directly call Zhao Liangsong's name, do you regard yourself as Zhao Liangsong's father, or do you regard Zhao Liangsong as a child who has not grown up? ”

Yang He suddenly smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Brother Zhang, thank you for your advice, I really don't know this." ”

Zhang Fengqi said with a smile: "Brother, you are a martial artist, the so-called ignorant is not to blame, but you will often have to deal with literati in the future, and you yourself will also seek the fame of literati, these details still have to be paid attention to." ”

"What Brother Zhang said is, when I go back, I will ask Zhao Liangsong what the name of the word is." Yang He said busily.

Zhang Fengqi smiled: "Brother, you don't have a word yet, right?" ”

Yang He shook his head and smiled: "Brother Zhang made fun of me, where do I have words?" Why don't you get one for me, Brother Zhang? ”

Zhang Fengqi pondered for a while and said: "The word is usually taken by Mr. when the crown is given, the elder brother has already passed the year of the crown, and as an official of the imperial court, the younger brother is not qualified to take the word for the elder brother." is born as a brother and a scholar, and it is not considered to have wronged the elder brother by giving him a word. ”

"Brother Zhang is too humble, with Brother Zhang's identity, I'm afraid that few people are qualified enough to let Brother Zhang take words." Yang He said with a smile.

Zhang Fengqi smiled and waved his hand, and said after a while: "The crane is auspicious, and it should be born at the right time." The Book of Songs. Xiaoya "Cloud: The crane sings in Jiugao, and the sound is heard in the sky. In this way, the word of the elder brother is called Yingshi, and the number is heard by the sky. What do you think? ”

Yang He hurriedly said when he heard this: "Thank you Brother Zhang for giving me the name." ”
