Chapter Seventy-Six: The Craftsman's Division, the Lineage (2)
"Master Meng......"
"Oh, who is this!" When Meng Yan heard this voice that smacked to his bones, he had goosebumps all over his body.
Turning his head, he saw a man standing behind him with a white and pure look in his eyes that were three points more charming than a woman.
Those eyes can discharge more than a woman!
"Oh, where did the demon come from, he actually discharged electricity indiscriminately to this official!" Meng Yan pointed at the man and snorted.
"Master Meng, humble Su Xiaoxiao!"
"Su Xiaoxiao, you are Su Xiaoxiao?" Meng Yan was stunned, this bewitching figure, who looked like a demon disguised as a man, was actually one of the captains under his command.
"Is it Su Xiaoxiao?" Su Xiaoxiao was stunned.
"How do you wear this?" Meng Yan looked up and down at his strange subordinate, wearing a green coat, where is this the captain of Jinyiwei, it should be Xiaohuadan singing in Liyuan, right?
"What's wrong with this lowly dress, isn't it beautiful?" When Su Xiaoxiao heard this, he turned around in front of Meng Yan quite narcissistically, and at the end he raised an orchid finger!
Meng Yan was really disgusted, his stomach was sour, Lao Cai's meat steamed buns and mutton stewed noodles made of steamed buns were constantly stirring, and the taste was almost life-threatening!
"Are you here in full clothes to be on duty or are you going to sing?" Meng Yan asked.
"Naturally, I'm here to be on duty, didn't Master Meng ask Fan Tou'er to inform Xiaoxiao yesterday?"
"You're going to wear this?"
"Yes, Xiaoxiao has always worn this, right?"
"Go, change this body for me, didn't Jinyiwei give you regular clothes and shoes and hats?" Meng Yan asked.
"It's hairy, but Xiaoxiao doesn't like to wear that dress, it's too ugly......"
"Su Xiaoxiao, you are now a Jinyi guard, not a singer in Liyuan, the official ordered you, go and change your clothes now, otherwise, get out of the way!" Meng Yan was really angry, slapped the table, and said viciously.
"Master Meng, you are so fierce, why are you so fierce...... Su Xiaoxiao seemed to be frightened, and suddenly burst into tears, and said with an extremely aggrieved expression.
Meng Yan knew what kind of strange thing he had encountered.
"Su Xiaoxiao, you listen to me, why don't you change into the regular clothes of Jinyiwei and change your sissy style, otherwise, you will roll up the cover and leave the official!" Meng Yan said, "Two paths, you choose!" ”
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned, this time it was clear, the little Meng in front of him didn't eat his set.
The Wang brothers stood silently aside, and it was obvious that they were also faced with a choice, whether to stay or go elsewhere to make a living!
"What are you doing here, what should you do, there is a rule, whoever leaves the post without authorization during the duty period, the official will automatically leave him!" Meng Yan waved his hand.
"Master Meng, drink a cup of hot tea and dissipate your anger!" Fan Xiping smiled and walked in with a cup of hot tea.
"Old Fan, what kind of people are these?" Meng Yan sat down with his buttocks, touched the wound on his buttocks, and stood up suddenly in pain.
"Master Meng, shall I get you a soft cushion?"
"No need, I'll just stand!" Meng Yandao, he didn't want to do anything special.
"Who else hasn't come?"
"Dafangzi and Ruan Chao!" Fan Xiping said, "There are only two of them left in my group, as for Lao Lu and Lao Zhang's two groups, they will take over in the evening and tomorrow morning." ”
"How is this warehouse scheduled, isn't it three shifts?"
"There are three shifts in spring and summer, two shifts in autumn and winter, and one shift at home!" Fan Xiping explained.
"I see, bring me this shift schedule on duty?"
"Okay, Master Meng!"
"This duty schedule, if you are in a hurry, you can ask someone else to take the shift, and you can make up for it later."
"Old Fan, among these two groups of people, there is no Su Xiaoxiao's strange beauty, right?" Meng Yan asked.
"Master Meng, in fact, Xiaoxiao is still good, but there are some difficulties at home, and he was forced to become like this!" Fan Xiping sighed.
"Being forced to be helpless, he is a brocade guard, and anyone dares to force him?"
"That's not, it's that the family has a lot of mouths to eat, he is a school captain, and he earns four stones a month, but the actual delivery is only about two stones, and half of it is brown rice, this family of seven or eight people, it is enough to eat, but what about clothing, other expenses, this is far from enough......"
"That's right, it's obviously four stones, why is it only more than two stones?" Meng Yan asked.
"Why else, the official's deduction!"
"Buckle, whoever gives them the courage to withhold the subordinates' subordinates, isn't they afraid of the royal law?" Meng Yan Road.
"Wang Fa, everyone does this, can the court dispose of everyone?"
"Old Fan, do you have ......?"
"How can a lowly position be deducted?" Fan Xiping smiled bitterly, "It's good if you don't deduct your humble duties." ”
"Even yours will be detained?"
"Master Meng, our Nanya is quite good, at the end of each year, some benefits will be given to no one in the middle of the year, and the other yamen will either find a way to make money, or they can only go out with the Wang brothers and Xiaoxiao to find another way to make money to supplement the family!" Fan Xiping Road.
Meng Yan silently, this is the ecology of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the upper class is corrupt, and the middle and lower classes either change the law to exploit the people and merchants, or they have no intention of being armed and fend for themselves!
Jinyiwei is still like this, and the other troops can be imagined.
The Son of Heaven guards and pro-army are like this, and the situation of foreign armies and border armies is even more difficult to say, no wonder there was a famous time, the scourge of desertion always happened, of course, it is a problem of the system, but it is not a problem of man-made corruption?
The household registration system of the Ming Dynasty fixed the identity of the common people, and it was difficult for them to change their lifestyle.
Like the Wang brothers and Su Xiaoxiao, they actually have the means to make a living, whether they are farmers or singing opera (the opera is a lowly nationality and low status, and ordinary people are unwilling to do this), they are all ways out.
But they all have military status, and they must serve in the army, otherwise they will break the law.
Su Xiaoxiao is even more dangerous, if he does this, if he is really investigated, the consequences will be very strict, and he will be heavily responsible!
Of course, the reason can't be so simple, Su Xiaoxiao was able to do well and not be held accountable, obviously there is a reason behind it!
"Forget it, in the past two days, the official will first touch the situation of the personnel in the warehouse, and you will give me a notice in a while, this has no rules and is not a circle, since the official has come to be the treasurer of this hundred households, he naturally can't live up to the court's trust in me, every qiē must be restored, unreasonable removal, reasonable stay!" Meng Yan commanded.
"Humble duty understands!"
"In addition, in the afternoon, this official wants to convene a meeting with a few of you Xiaoqi, you go and inform you, everyone must be there!" Meng Yan Road.
"When, sir?"
"Shen Shi!" Meng Yan thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, let's go and inform you!" Fan Xiping nodded.
Jiaozhongfang, Fuxue Hutong, the patriarch of the Four Dynasties, and the residence of Lord Yang Puyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, is located here.
Cabinet scholars, when the dynasty is a product, his mansion is naturally weathered, and the pavilions are exquisite.
Yang Ge Lao had a stroke, although it has not yet been announced to the public, but those who are well-informed already know the news.
"Imperial Doctor Wen, how is my father?" Yang Pu's son Yang Dan stayed in front of his father's bed and asked nervously.
After Eryang went to the court, Yang Pu noticed that the officialdom was sinister and asked his son Yang Dan to resign from the official position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple and go home to farm.
This was an incredible move at the time, the emperor kept it many times, Yang Pu and his son insisted, and the emperor could only give up!
Yang Dan wanted to go home to farm, but his father was old, and only one son of the five sons remained, so after settling his wife and children, he returned to the capital to serve his father!
"My lord has a stroke this time, and he needs to be carefully recuperated and take medicine, and there is no big problem!" Imperial Physician Wen cut the pulse.
"yes, that's great!" Yang Dan said excitedly.
"Lord Yang, I will prescribe a prescription for the boss, you decoct the medicine on time, pay attention to keeping warm, there is no shortage of people around the boss, understand?"
"Understand, I'll stay by my father's side all night!" Yang Dan said.
"Lord Yang comes with me!"
"Hey!" Coming to Yang Dan's study, Imperial Physician Wen sighed, "I didn't tell the truth in the old man's room just now, don't blame Lord Yang, although the old man had a stroke, but his mind is still clear, I am afraid that I will be excited after hearing the meeting, so I ......"
"Imperial Doctor Wen, what are you talking about, my father ...... him" Yang Dan was shocked.
"Don't hide it from Lord Yang, if the boss doesn't improve after taking my medicine for three days, I'm afraid Lord Yang will have to prepare for the future, hey!" Imperial Physician Wen sighed.
"What?"
"Lord Yang, don't panic, this is just a possible situation, and Imperial Doctor Ben wants to make it clear to you."
"Imperial Doctor Wen, the Imperial Hospital has the highest medical skills in you, you must save my father!" Yang Dan pleaded.
"The old man is upright, honest and upright, he is a model for hundreds of officials in the court, the imperial doctor admires it, how can he not do his best, but the old man is old, his health is deteriorating, and he has worked hard for the major events of the court, and in the long run, he has become ill, this time fortunately you found it immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be ...... at this moment."
"Childe, the saint is here!"
"Quick, quick, open the door to greet!" When Yang Dan heard this, he was suddenly excited, excited, and hurriedly ordered.
"Childe, the saint came over in Weifu, and the only people who accompanied him were Chief Wang and a few entourages!" The housekeeper hurriedly reminded.
"Lord Yang, the Holy Weifu visits the boss, he definitely doesn't want to make a show, there is no need to open the middle door, you go and greet it in person, the boss has me here!" Doctor Wen said.
"Then there's Dr. Lauwen!" Yang Dan was just out of order for a while, and after being reminded by Imperial Doctor Wen, he immediately came to his senses.
