When Yue Yang and the others entered the mansion of the thousand households of the original guard, Yue Yang understood what it was called Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones, this mansion is not very eye-catching on the outside, but the decoration inside is carved railings and jade, and the luxury Cheng dù can be compared with those big families in Yingzhou City.
The little official who was arguing with Shunbao on the road also shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the military households outside almost starved to death, all the silver and food have gone into this Wu Fatian's pocket, this person is intolerable if he doesn't kill Tianli!" ”
The voice of the little official fell in the ears of the officers around him, and the faces of these veteran soldiers turned red. After all, this guard has fallen to such a point, and they can't escape the blame.
After entering the hall, Yue Yang sat down on his seat, his eyes swept in front of everyone and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you must already know the intention of this official. This official was first appointed as the integrity officer of Yingzhou City, but he suffered from the lack of officers, so he specially won the permission of Lord Zheng to recruit some non-commissioned officers and officers here, but the result made the official very disappointed, and a large number of military households fled from the guard, and officers at all levels neglected training. To put it mildly, I'm afraid that few of you here can mention knives and guns anymore, right? If all the soldiers and generals of the Ming Dynasty are like you, they will only invade the military land and oppress the military households, I am afraid that the day of destruction will not be far away! ”
Speaking of this, Yue Yang's eyes were fixed on the people in front of him, but the people below all lowered their heads and kept silent, and only the hundred households named Wu Chengfeng had a sad look flashing in his eyes. Seeing this, Yue Yang couldn't help but be extremely disappointed in his heart, he knew that the officers of this Thousand Households had been abolished, and hundreds of years of comfortable life had exhausted their blood, and it was impossible to expect them to charge into battle like their ancestors.
Sighing lightly, Yue Yang didn't want to say anything more, and was about to wave his hand to let everyone disperse. At this time, the military householder Feng Xiaoyun spoke.
I saw him smile bitterly: "My lord is clear, the various bad habits of the guard are not formed overnight, and the rules of the guard have been like this for hundreds of years. And you also know the rules of the imperial court, one day for the military household will have to be a military household for generations, the road to the imperial examination has long been blocked for us, these years of drought year after year, if we don't fight the idea of these military fields, I'm afraid it will be difficult to make a living, if there is a way, we don't want to be evil! ”
"Yes, my lord, I'm really helpless to wait!" After Feng Xiaoming's words were finished, all the officers also knelt down one after another.
In recent years, with the flight of a large number of military households, a series of evil consequences have also begun to appear. On the one hand, the surrounding situation is becoming more and more bad, on the other hand, after the oppression of military households, a large number of military households have fled, and there are fewer and fewer people who can farm for them, and their lives are becoming more and more difficult, and it is estimated that even they will have to go hungry in a few years. And the family of Lord Yue in front of him is a well-known big landowner in Yingzhou, if he can show them the way, wouldn't this be much better than them being half-dead here?
Seeing the people kneeling on the ground, Yue Yang couldn't help but cry and laugh. He originally came here to select some capable officers, but he didn't think about it but it became a grievance meeting, what is this called? He quickly raised his hand and said, "Okay, you all get up." You are all military attaches to the imperial court, how can you be so spineless? ”
A middle-aged hundred-man in an eight-rank military attache robe said: "Fart military attaché, the imperial court has long ignored us. A few years ago, there were some favors, although they were not much, but they could barely fill their stomachs, but now they have not seen a penny. Since ancient times, it has been natural for soldiers to eat food, but we can't even eat enough, what does it mean for this military attaché to be deserved! If the adults are willing to take us in, we will abandon this guard and follow the adults to Yingzhou City! ”
"Yes, Niu Baihu said it well, if the adults are willing to take in the lowly people, what can we do if we abandon this guard and go to Yingzhou with the adults!" Everyone responded, and many people's eyes were shining, but they had heard that this Lord Yue was not only a big landowner, but also now ruled the private salt market in Yingzhou City, as long as it could show a little bit from his fingernails, it would be enough for them to eat.
Looking at the excited crowd, Shunbao on the side skimmed the most disdainfully. He doesn't have to think about these people's thoughts, he also knows, but do these people really think that the young master's advantage is so easy to take advantage of?
Yue Yang pondered for a while, and then he suddenly turned his head to the little official behind him who had been silently and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?" ”
The little official bowed down and replied, "Back to the adult, the villain's name is Hailou!" ”
"Hailou?" Yue Yang pondered for a moment and couldn't help but smile: "It's rare to see someone surnamed Hai, but your family is a great celebrity!" ”
Hailou naturally knew who Yue Yang was talking about, but he said loudly: "I'm afraid what the adults are talking about is Ru Xian Gong (Hai Rui), the little one is not talented, and Ru Xian is just the ancestor of the next family!" ”
"Are you a descendant of Hai Jui?"
As soon as Hai Lou's words came out, Yue Yang looked at him in surprise, and he didn't believe that this thin man turned out to be the descendant of the famous Hai Rui. It's just that when he turned his head to look around, but the people around him didn't seem to have any reaction, Yue Yang couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart, how could they not react at all when he heard the news, this is too strange!
But Yue Yang thought about it and immediately understood, the current Hai Rui's fame has just been dead for decades, although he has some reputation in the government and the opposition, but there are probably many people who hate him, otherwise as Hai Rui's descendant, Hai Lou would not have been mixed up until now, and he is just a small official. Not to mention the folk countryside? The reason why his fame is so high in later generations is mainly because of the people of later generations.
After thinking about it, Yue Yang had an idea, looked at Hailou carefully and asked, "Hailou, since the prefect transferred you to this official, then the official appointed you to go to Wulizhai to work in Tuntian, what do you think?" ”
"Ah, my lord, you let the villain go to Tuntian?" Hailou was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Yes, this official not only asked you to go to Tuntian, but also went to open up the wasteland, and also transferred these military households to you after screening, if you do a good job, this official will promote you to the imperial court as an official, what do you think?"
"This ......"
Listening to Yue Yang's words, Hailou was dumbfounded. As the saying goes, the son of the dragon and the phoenix will make a hole, as the descendant of Hai Rui, his personality is very similar to Hai Rui, he is old-fashioned and inflexible and strict with himself, such a person is not very popular in the officialdom in ancient and modern times, so he is only the lowest level of the book, its level is equivalent to the government clerk of later generations, if there are no special circumstances, it is estimated that a lifetime is the life of a small official.
"Well, according to what this official has heard, you are withdrawn and unsociable, so that you are only a pawn at the age of forty, if it is not surprising, it is difficult for you to be promoted again. Now you only need to agree to the official, and the official can immediately promote you to a warden, and his subordinates can manage more than ten pawns and officials, what do you think? ”
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are divided into four levels: the officials, the officials, the officials and the officials, among which the officials are the highest, and unlike the officials, the officials are not appointed by the imperial court, but by the officials themselves below. Seeing that Hailou still didn't agree, Yue Yang threw out a big cake again.
Well, Hailou admitted that he was tempted, it seemed that his cultivation had not yet reached the level of his grandfather Hai Rui, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, stepped forward to Yue Yang is bow and said, "Villain Hailou meets Lord Ethics!" May the integrity adults be blessed with longevity and good health! ”
"Haha...... Good...... Get up! As soon as Yue Yang heard this, he knew that this Hailou was done, he laughed out loud, and then reached out to help Hailou up. Then he turned to the officers of the guard station around him and said, "Since you are all willing to follow this officer, then this official does not mind showing you the way, from now on, you will follow this sea guard...... Well, it's the sea warden, they all follow him to Wuli Village to open up the wasteland, as long as you are not lazy, the future will be more and more prosperous! ”
"Thank you, Lord for your grace!"
The voices of the officers sounded all around, and just like that, all the people in the Yingzhou Guard Station were packed up and taken away by Yue Yang......
