Chapter 43: To Qingzhou
Pang Gang looked at the newcomers and said straight to the point: "The official is a rough person, and he won't talk around the corner, the three of them are very happy to come to my Wanghai Fort, but the official has something unclear, and I still ask the three to solve the doubts for the official." ”
"Your Excellency, please speak!" The three hurriedly said.
"Not long after the first construction of Wanghai Fort, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is poor and white, why are the three of them willing to come here to give in?"
As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, the three of them were a little surprised, and their eyes looked at their friend Hua Yan in unison. Hua Yan just shook his head helplessly, this Lord of the Hundred Households spoke really directly, and what he said and did did not have the subtlety unique to people in officialdom at all.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward, and Pang Gang didn't urge, just looked at the three of them with interest.
After a while, Meng Qing spoke first, and he said honestly: "My lord, the grass people were invited by their friend Yun Ting (Hua Yan's character) to come, as for the reason you said, the grass people really haven't thought about it. ”
And Zheng Mengcheng's answer was very honest, "My lord, the grass people are poor, and the clumsy Jing has been sick in bed for a long time, and the grass people need to make money to make a living for the clumsy Jing to treat the disease." This answer is indeed very honest, and the degree of honesty is very speechless.
In the end, it was Lin Feng's turn, this short fat man was also very direct, he smiled and arched his hand towards Pang Gang and said: "The grass people prefer financial management, but there is no money at home for the grass people to take care of. ”
Yes, this one is even more polite, and he directly reached out to manage the money!
Pang Gang couldn't help laughing, "Hehehua Zandian, these friends of yours are really wonderful, they are really more honest than the other!" ”
"My lord, humble and lowly duty" Hua Yan couldn't go on, and he was secretly gritting his teeth in his heart, these friends didn't give him a long face.
Fortunately, Pang Gang didn't delve into it, and after laughing for a while, he said: "In that case, the official will not be polite to you, Meng Qing, there is still a shortage of people in Wanghai Fort who are in charge of public security and criminal law, and you will serve as a priest for the time being." Lin Feng, since you are interested in money and things, and this official is going to open a workshop today, you can go to work after a while. Zheng Mengcheng you, the official sees that you are loyal and upright, so he will take the position of saving the pawn, and be responsible for the sundries in the castle, as for you, as for Hua Zandian, because of the recommendation of the meritorious official, you are specially promoted to the position of the warden, what do you think? ”
"I wish to listen to my lord's command, thank you for your grace!" The four of them thanked Pang Gang together, and Hua Yan was suddenly promoted from the most humble pawn to the pawn, which was equivalent to being promoted two levels in a row, and his heart was naturally overjoyed. Meng Qing and the three of them have their own positions, and since then they have bid farewell to Bai Shen and have a livelihood career, and they are naturally not dissatisfied in their hearts, and Pang Gang, some of these people have joined, and some things finally don't have to be done by themselves, everyone can be said to be happy when they take what they need.
After arranging his personal duties, Pang Gang asked Hua Yan to take Meng Qing and others down, and instructed the three of them to bring their families to Wanghai Fort to live as soon as possible.
After Huayan went out, Li Xian next to him said to Pang Gang with some worry: "My lord, there is a saying about humble duties that I don't know whether to say or not!" ”
"Li Judian, you have something to say, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it!" Pang Gang said disappreciatively.
Li Xian looked at Pang Gang, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not that the lowly position is jealous of the virtuous and jealous, the adult Lixian Corporal is a blessing for us to be subordinates, but the adults let these newcomers take on this important position at once, and I am afraid of the lowly position."
Li Xian's words were not finished, Pang Gang understood what he meant, Meng Qing and the three of them were all friends of Huayan, and he recommended them, Pang Gang now handed over all the logistics of Wanghai Fort to them at once, and it was easy for them to join forces to deceive Shangguan.
Pang Gang looked at Li Xian and nodded with satisfaction, no wonder people say that "there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure". Although this Li Xian is illiterate, after all, his age is there, and he understands the sophistication of people very well.
Pang Gang explained helplessly: "Now Wanghaibao is waiting to be prosperous, it is the time when talents are urgently needed, since someone has come to defect, we can't do without it, right?" Who left us without anyone else to use? The things in the fort are complicated, and it is impossible to manage and cannot be managed by those who are illiterate in big words, and many things have to be done by scholars. As for what you are worried about, you don't have to worry, the official has his own arrangements. ”
For Li Xian's worries, Pang Gang didn't care too much, as long as he firmly grasped the military power in his hands these years, then everything didn't have to be ok, even if Hua Yan and the others wanted to make any small moves, Pang Gang only needed to move his little finger, and they would all have to finish playing.
After explaining some things to Li Xian, Pang Gang was about to leave for Qingzhou, time waits for no one, and the sooner the iron mine and cement plant are carried out, the better
Pang Gang walked in the courtyard of the command envoy yamen, in front of him was a guide to the way, because the command envoy yamen is a military institution, the buildings are built quite vigorously, the atmosphere is extraordinary, everywhere is full of a solemn atmosphere.
When he arrived at the door of a side hall, the family asked Pang Gang to wait at the door for him to go in and report, and soon the family came out and said to him: "Pang Baihu, the commander is waiting in the side hall, you can go in by yourself, today the adult is in a good mood, you just need to be careful in everything, and it will be fine." ”
The family who received the benefits of Pang Gang's two taels of silver was quite enthusiastic and pointed out to Pang Gang, and after Pang Gang thanked the family, he walked into this side hall.
The cold wind outside the house was whirring, Song Xinghe was sitting in the side hall, and sitting next to him was Pang Gang, who came from afar in the cold wind.
Song Xinghe glanced at Pang Gang, who was sitting on the side, and asked, "Pang Baihu, you are not enjoying the blessings in your Wanghai Fort, why did you come to see the official office this time?" ”
Pang Gang said with a bitter face: "My lord, I found an iron mine in the jurisdiction of Wanghai Fort today, and I felt that there was a lack of weapons and armor in the fort, so I wanted to order people to mine it for weapons, but because of the shortage of silver, I couldn't hire enough people to mine ore and build iron furnaces to smelt pig iron. No, that's why I borrowed money from adults at the end of class. ”
"Borrow money from the official?" Song Xinghe glanced at Pang Gang in astonishment, and a strange feeling surged in his heart, since ancient times, only subordinates have bribed their bosses, but they have never heard of anyone who dares to stretch out their hands to their bosses to borrow silver, this Pang Baihu's courage is really fat!
"Exactly!" Pang Gang said respectfully: "I implore you to borrow one thousand taels of silver from the lowly job, and return it after the lowly job mines the iron ore." If the lowly position cannot return the adult silver two after a month, the lowly position is willing to accept the adult's disposal. ”
When Pang Gang said this, Song Xinghe immediately understood, where did this Pang Gang come to borrow silver, he was clearly here to deliver silver. As long as Pang Gang didn't send the silver a month later, he Song Xinghe could own 30% of the shares of the iron ore in a dignified manner, and it is estimated that the annual dividends alone will be a lot, right? Unexpectedly, this Pang Gang not only has a set of training troops to fight, but even bribes are so much that people can't catch them.
"It seems that this Pang Gang is very sober, and he knows that he can't swallow this piece of fat alone, so he came over and pulled the official." Song Xinghe secretly thought in his heart, no one would have too much silver, and Song Xinghe would naturally be no exception.
In view of the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, believed that the officials under him should be pure people with completely noble personalities, so the thinness of the official salary made ninety percent of the people who received the salary of the imperial court confidently say: "I want to be corrupt." ”
Because if you don't embezzle, you even have problems with life, Song Xinghe is the commander of the three products, and a according to the inspection of the quality of the envoy is equivalent, the monthly salary is 35 stone rice, and it is also 5,600 catties of white rice, which looks like a lot, but the salary of the Ming Dynasty is three rice and seven banknotes, due to the indiscriminate issuance of paper money by the imperial court at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Song Xinghe can only get it is eleven stones and two buckets of rice plus less than ten taels of silver. He is not corrupt, not to mention wearing silk and satin, taking a beautiful wife and concubine to support his family, I am afraid that he even has to think about eating meat.
Looking at Pang Gang's calm expression, Song Xinghe finally nodded and said with a gentle smile, "Since Pang Baihu has asked for the head of the official, the official can't bear to sit idly by." In a moment you and the butler will go to the bookkeeper to collect the money."
