Chapter 334: Asking for Wages (4)
"Reason? If you are really fucking reasonable, you should know that you owe money to others to pay it back, this is the simplest truth. In the courtyard of the Sun family, Yang Chengzu snorted and slapped the table
"This Wantong is simply a thorough winter drying, and he actually wants to replace money and food with reason. People should be reasonable, preachy, and edifying, and these are right, no problem. But it depends on the timing, if it is a peaceful world and everyone eats and drinks, then be reasonable and tell everyone what is the way of a saint, what is right and what is wrong, this is no problem. After all, it is better to restrain people with rules than to restrain people with reason, but when is it now? It was the people of the Honor and Guard Division who did not pay for several months, and everyone who was hungry either fled and disappeared, or went to work part-time, and some simply became thieves and stole the things of the palace. ”
At this time, the biggest truth in the world is that people can't eat more than the four words. If the soldiers are not allowed to be fed, clothed, and have money to spend, why should they be allowed to guard military discipline. If it weren't for this time, I would have let out a few hundred guards, robbing what I saw in the city, and taking what I saw, and when the time came, he would have felt better. ”
Several female relatives in the family also knew about this, and the Liu family had always been calm, and when they asked, the food and salary of these honor guards would add up to less than three thousand taels of silver. Although this is a large amount, but the Yang family came over this time, and there are tens of thousands of cash, and it is not difficult to take out this money, so I thought that I would pay for it to fill in this hole first.
Ruxian said: "First fill this hole with your own money, this is nothing to say." If Brother Chengzu wants to gain a foothold here, he must seize the heart of the army and use his own money to pay military salaries, but he can make these soldiers return to their hearts, and I also agree. But this is not a long-term solution, besides, in addition to these grains, there is also Lu rice from Xingwangfu. That's the big head, the income of those Huangzhuang shops is all returned to the yamen, but he doesn't send it down, if we are always so used to him, then our life will not be able to pass? Always think of a way to cure this Wantong. ”
Miao said: "I see, this Master Wan is just right in the current situation, and the people of the Honor and Guard Division dare not mess around, so they dare not to send money and food." Talking about the way of a saint is actually taking advantage of people's danger. ”
When it came to taking advantage of people's danger, the Li family sisters over there blushed first, and Yang Chengzu was also a little uncomfortable. Zhao Miniang hurriedly said: "Let's not talk about this first, let's look at the present, but what should I do?" If it is in Henan, our Cao Gang people can help the husband to think of a way. But now that I don't know the people here, I don't have any way to find it, otherwise, let's go find Mr. Sun and let him talk about it? ”
"It's useless in Henan." Yang Chengzu shook his head and said: "You Cao Gang are just some heroes in the rivers and lakes, do you really dare to go against the government?" He is a Zhizhou, and he is the parent official of this side, and it is too late for him to scold the city fox society here, how can he help me. Besides, if I'm not mistaken, this Wantong is likely to be a so-called clean official, and it is not easy to catch him. ”
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, just because you can't make trouble in Anlu doesn't mean you can't make trouble for Wantong. Just because he is a clean official does not mean that his family members are all clean officials. As long as you think of a way, there is always this way, is he a parent official, every word and deed, thousands of people pay attention, there are many people who care about him, and there are many flaws in him. This is complementary, I don't believe it, and I can't toss him? Of course, it is certain to take my money first, but it can't make people think that I am here to seize power, otherwise I will not be able to fall well with the princess. This matter is very troublesome, and it is much more difficult to do than Evil Tiger Village. This damn Wantong was all made by him. ”
In the Zhizhou Yamen, Yang Chengzu was sent away, and Wan Tong was also quite embarrassed: "I can make a talented man who rolls the Yangtze River east, but after all, I still can't see it thoroughly enough." His experience is not enough, and many things are not clear enough, or in other words, his talent is only in the poetry path, and he can't see through the meaning of education. ”
The master on the side said with a smile: "Dong Weng's talent is rare in the world, and you have been a pro-people official for many years, and you know more about local affairs than ordinary people." He's just a young man, just here, and he doesn't know what it's like to be in Anlu. It's just that he is the future son-in-law of the Sun family after all, and you have brushed his face, I'm afraid it's Sun Weng's side, it's not very good-looking, right? ”
"It's nothing, I think Sun Weng will support me in this matter. My lake is the land of fish and rice, the lake is ripe, and the world reaps it. But Huguang has so many palaces and so many royal bloodlines, which have sucked Huguang's blood dry. Take Xingwangfu as an example, there are now useless people in the palace, even if there are not 10,000, there are thousands. These people don't produce, but also have to be supported by the fields, they are the Ming Dynasty, the biggest cancer. Like the Liao King of Jingzhou, the Xiang King of Changsha and the Chu King of Wuchang. There are many generations, countless heirs, generals of Zhenguo, and lieutenants of Fengguo are all over the city. If one day, our Anlu will become like this, what will happen at that time? ”
"What Dong Weng said is very good, if this is the case, then it must be the suffering of all the people, the suffering of the people."
"Yes, so this official must take precautions, first of all, the money and grain of the Xing Domain must be firmly blocked, so that they cannot reproduce arbitrarily. also let them know that although they are of the blood of the heavenly family, they must also abide by the law. Yu Yamen has a sense of awe, and by that time, although the official is no longer alive, he can at least accumulate some blessings for the people on this side. ”
"Dong Weng is high and bright, and people can't reach it. I don't know how many people can understand your painstaking efforts. ”
"The great husband acts only to be worthy of his heart, and as for who can understand, so what? Mr. Liang, you have to hurry up about our Anlu Academy. I stayed this money and food in order to build this academy for An Lu, so that An Lu can have a few more scholars, that is the real merit in the present and for future generations. This is much more useful than feeding a few military men or a few vassal kings. When Yang Chengzu understands this truth, he will be grateful to me. If he doesn't understand this, then his achievements will end there. ”
Speaking of this, Wan Tong smiled, "If he can figure this out, this official here will raise him a future." The delicate guest of Sun Weng's family was wronged by a royal mansion. When the time comes, the official will arrange it for him, but it just depends on himself, whether he is smart enough. ”
The next day, just after dawn, in the honor guard of Xingwang's mansion, the soldiers of the honor guard division lined up in a line, waiting for the new honor guard to distribute food and salary. No matter what kind of things happened in the past, the honor guards were always out of order.
But today, even if he is really unwell, he is forced to come over and line up, after all, it is three months of money and food, and the family is still waiting for it to buy rice for the pot, who can be lazy.
The place in the palace is indeed very large, but there are various items everywhere, and there is really no place to pay for hundreds of soldiers. In the end, it can only be distributed in batches, and the others are on duty on time. The money and grain of these people were supposed to be distributed to them, but they had to buy so much grain that they did not have time to come, so they had to convert it all into silver and two cents.
Most of the salaries of the Ming Dynasty's military guards, and even the salaries of hundreds of officials, are also mostly converted into money in this way, and then the parties themselves buy rice. Anlu is the land of fish and rice, and the price of grain is relatively low. Yang Chengzu paid according to the average price, and for the soldiers, there was actually something to earn, and they themselves were happy.
Groups of soldiers came over to write their names, received their salaries, and retreated happily. Gao Sheng said in the team, "This money was sent for us by Master Yizheng with the coil he brought, out of his pocket." Good people, really good people, willing to pay us with their own money, such good officials are not easy to find. ”
At present, there are about 600 officers and soldiers in the Department of Honor and Guard, and there are more than 100 people, who have been recruited by Wujinghe, the guest of honor. These people have not been here for a long time, and the roster is a separate book, and this time they are paid, and they do not have their share.
When these soldiers saw that everyone else had their salaries, but they didn't, they couldn't help but make a noise. Someone said loudly: "Generally they are honor guards, why don't we have military salaries?" Are we not human? ”
One of them took the lead in shouting, and the other people who had not received the food and salary followed suit. They were shouting vigorously, and a group of people came in from the gate, and the first two of them shouted: "Where did the cuobird come from, as soon as we come, we will be removed from our official positions." We are here, but we want to see how he can get rid of this official position. ”
