Huaxian Jinyi small flag office, located in the west of the county seat, when Yang Chengzu arrived, the day had passed the hour. According to the theory, the brocade guards should gather at the small flag to receive the roll call, and conduct basic exercises, and then make arrangements.

But now that military discipline has long been abolished, Jinyi is no exception, and no one will be stupid enough to come here and wait for drills. When Yang Chengzu arrived at the place, more than 20 soldiers were standing outside, and only three or four of them came from the main service. Everyone was holding fried dough sticks and soy milk, chatting while eating, and when they saw Yang Chengzu coming, they hurriedly came over to greet them, and some asked, "Has the eldest nephew eaten it?" We have ready-made fried fritters, you can have some. ”

Yang Chengzu didn't have the heart to rectify discipline, like some novels, what kind of modern military training, to build this Jinyi Wei into some kind of iron-willed iron man, and it is the right way to be with light and dust. The laziness of these people has a history of many years, and the reasons for it are also complicated. He only smiled and said, "Well, I have used it in Xiangmanlou, and it is better than ours." Excellent shrimp dumpling soup dumplings, as well as fine rice porridge. Old Man Wang or Uncle Song, when will they come over? ”

"It's almost there, aren't you here to handle the handover today, I guess it's going to be half an hour later, and the people will arrive. Good guy, the things in the fragrant building are good, but you have to eat them, it's too expensive. ”

Several people gossiped for a while, Wang Zhong, Song Liansheng and other powerful figures arrived at the place one after another, Wang Zhong didn't talk nonsense, took out the key, took out the account book, and started the handover procedures with Yang Chengzu. A small flag office, there is no complicated beginning and end, as long as the accounts are clear, the handover can be smooth.

The accounts of the small flag office in Huaxian County are also simple, and the accounting level of this era is still stuck in the single-entry accounting, and even the three-legged account or the famous dragon gate account has not appeared, and there is no way to talk about more complex duplexes. There are piles of rough billets in the brocade clothes, and the account books are simpler than ordinary businessmen, nothing more than entering and exiting the accounts.

When Yang Chengzu was the leader of the Peking Opera Troupe in his previous life, he was also responsible for keeping accounts, and he was familiar with this kind of thing. Moreover, Yang Chengzu himself has seriously entered Weixue and has read books and knows words.

The military status of the Ming Dynasty can also participate in the imperial examination, such as Zhang Juzheng, who was the Ding Ding of the Ming Dynasty in later generations, and his background was a military member. Yang Daxing also thought about letting his son change his court, and specially sent him to school to study, although his fame was only a child, not even a showman, but in Huaxian Jinyiwei, he had to be regarded as an out-and-out intellectual.

He looked at the account a few times, and found at least a dozen questions, but his hand was only slightly in those problematic lines, and he smiled at Wang Zhong, "Old man, you are worthy of being an old-timer in our guard, this mission is beautiful." It's hard for your old man to be a lot older, and it takes so much effort, I thank you in advance. In the future, boy, if there is anything I don't understand, you old man can give me more pointers. ”

Wang Zhong saw that he was pointing at all the places with his hands, and he couldn't help but sweat slightly on his forehead. Only he knows about the flower tent in the small flag office, and if it is exposed, those colleagues will be the first to let him go.

Besides, this loss of money is small, and the face is big, how can this old face come down when it falls? I couldn't help but secretly thank Yang Chengzu for saving his face, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be." People don't use their muscles and bones as their ability, and my body is really useless. I was thinking about turning back and handing us the excerpt of Commander Song in Kaifeng, but I am old and can't do it anymore. In this world, it is time for you young people. ”

He also knew that he had exposed his bottom and had no face to mix in the small flag office, so it was better to retreat bravely from the torrent and return to his hometown, and everyone's faces would go down. Besides, Jinyi can take the job, so it's good to go back and let his son take the job.

Yang Chengzu saw that he was interested, so he pretended to keep a few words, one old and one young on the surface, one wanted to resign, and the other wanted to stay, but in fact, they were very clear about each other's intentions. After a few tug-of-wars, Wang Zhong said: "I can't do it, I really can't do it." Besides, when there were white-clothed bandits a few years ago, the old man who defended the city was also hit by a first-class arrow, and this leg hurt badly when it rained on a cloudy day, so you should spare me. Now that our errand has been completed, the above errand has to be handed over to you. This is an order commanded by Song, but it cannot be delayed. ”

"Errands? What errand? "Since Yang Chengzu has been at home before, Yu Weili doesn't know anything at all, and he doesn't know what Wang Zhong said.

Song Liansheng's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated for a while: "Virtuous nephew, you have been keeping filial piety at home during this time, and there are some things that you don't know very well." Our Commander Song passed down the word, each hundred households, the general flag, and the small flag office, and the money and grain that will be solved this year will be increased by 20%. said that this is a military salary prepared for the uncle, and if anyone delays it, he will be engaged in military law. But we can't even make up the normal solution, plus two percent, it can be regarded as killing us. We are old and incompetent, so we still have to rely on you young people. ”

When Yang Chengzu heard this, he almost scolded his mother, and he was so happy with this handover, because there was a big black cauldron waiting for him to carry it, otherwise why did they hand over the authority so happily, but there was this behind their backs?

Jinyiwei is a self-contained organization, and outsiders are not allowed to interfere with the use of its funds, even if it is a science and technology official, he has no right to investigate the funding of Jinyiwei.

However, the household department does not have enough funds for Jinyiwei every year, according to them, since Jinyiwei is the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, we can't interfere, so the problem of money and food will be solved by the internal funds of the imperial court, why bother looking for us? But the Son of Heaven's internal clothes are also very limited, and there are many places to use them, and they will starve to death if they count on the inner clothes, so everyone still has to fend for themselves and find their own way in the end.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft water, Jinyi Wei is in the local health office, and now the first priority is to collect taxes. Whether it is a buying and selling shop, or a small merchant and hawker, they are inseparable from the collection of taxes on brocade clothes. In addition to using the collected taxes for their own expenses, they should also be relieved of the money for the needs of the Jingshi Jinyi Guard Yamen. Within Jinyiwei, the first item of merit for promotion is not to see how many officials you can find out who are greedy for ink, but how many money you can solve. The more you get up, the faster you will be promoted, and if you can't achieve your performance, you will have to take the lead, and if you don't do well, you will be dismissed.

In particular, the son of Zhengde likes luxury, and he spends countless money on building a leopard house. The 12th regiment battalion was also reorganized into the east and west official halls, and the border troops returned to Beijing to enrich it, which was inseparable from the word money and food. Jiang Bin sat in the Xiguan Hall and set up a mighty battalion, presumably to hand over the problem of money and food to Jinyiwei to solve.

Huaxian is not a rich place, just to deal with the normal payment, Jinyiwei is already in a big dilemma. This plus will be increased by two percent, which is equivalent to snatching food from the mouths of the old and young masters, and everyone's life will not be able to live. Song Zhaonan was very urgent, and old people like Wang Zhong were also in the lead, he Yang Chengzu was young, and his waist was not hard, if he really couldn't complete his performance, he was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to keep his official position.

This Wang Zhong and Song Liansheng felt that they couldn't help it, even if they threw a cauldron on his head. Song Liansheng said, "If it really doesn't work, uncle, I will accompany you to Kaifeng, go to Commander Song to talk about it, and if it doesn't work, I will kneel for him." I don't believe that he can still fight for this money, so he forced himself to die. How to say, Boss Yang is also a driver in the army of ten thousand horses, he doesn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, he doesn't look at the fish, he also has to look at the water. ”
