When Dong Yun walked out of the restaurant, his face was gloomy. Just now in the restaurant. The young commander Wu of the Soldiers and Horses Division was not so much looking for them to consult, but directly giving orders to them, the big leaders of the Nancheng Gang. Commander Na Wu issued a series of regulations to all the gangs. The core of these regulations can be summed up in two points: first, all gangs are allowed to keep their territory untouched, and are not allowed to expand their territory at will, and the gangs must assist the factory guards and soldiers and horses to maintain stability on the streets; Second, the amount of money handed over by the gang to the factory guards and the soldiers and horses should be increased by one or five percent.

But gradually, Dong Yun's face softened. If you think about it carefully, in fact, in addition to a slight decrease in income, Wu Shigong's regulations have been greatly improved, and it is difficult for a small gang to become a big gang. And Dong Yun's gang, as the largest gang in Nancheng, his leadership position has been strengthened. Dong Yun is also in his fifties, and he also wants to spend his old age in peace.

Dong Yun returned home and saw his grandchildren playing in his yard, and thought to himself: It is indeed good to have such a stable life. That's good!

To the surprise of the gang owners, in the days to come, due to the decrease in clashes in the gangs, and the help of the gang guards and the soldiers and horses to crack down on crime on the streets. The law and order situation in the entire southern city has greatly improved. As a result, the number of guests who come to the south city to play has increased significantly, and the income of each gang has increased by more than 10% on average. In this case, except for the overpayment of the factory guards and the soldiers, in fact, the income of all the gangs increased.

After the discussion was over, Hu Ming and Li Pengfei were of course also very satisfied. You must know that Hu Ming is one of the hundred households in the East Factory, and there are more than 100 people under him; Li Pengfei is one of the thousands of households in Jinyiwei, and the people in charge are in their early 1,000s. The number of people is smaller than that of the Terracotta Division. Although the benefits of the three organizations are about the same, personally, Hu Ming has gained the most, followed by Li Pengfei, and Wu Shigong the least. However, it is also a concrete manifestation of the status of these three institutions.

At the time of the breakup, Hu Ming and Li Pengfei both told Wu Shigong that the factory guard would not set up any obstacles on the issue of the Terracotta Division collecting fire fees. Moreover, they also expressed their admiration to Wu Shigong in private. I admire that Wu Shigong can come up with a fire charge, which is a legal and reasonable charge item from any point of view. They all believe that the factory guards should learn from the Terracotta Division, and they should also develop more new projects like this.

Returning to the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, Wu Shigong summoned the three deputy commanders, Zhou Shikun, Yu Lian and Ruan Xiong, and held a meeting with Xu Yimu and Wu Mian. Master Zhang Kequan listened as Wu Shigong's staff.

At the meeting, Wu Shigong made major changes to the scope of the jurisdiction of each deputy commander. First of all, Wu Shigong officially announced that Wu Mian became the deputy commander of the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Command Division. Then, he assigned the three hundred households outside the Xuanwu Gate, which he had originally under his jurisdiction as the deputy commander, to Zhou Shikun, Yu Lian and Ruan Xiong, the three deputy commanders, one for each of them, and assigned the two hundred households outside the city gate under his command to Wu Mian for management. In addition, Wu Mian also has to manage all the fire protection work in Nancheng. And the 100 households of the water dragon team accepted the dual leadership of Wu Shigong and Wu Mian.

Wu Shigong also showed the three deputy commanders, Zhou Shikun, Yu Lian and Ruan Xiong, the instructions issued by the Ministry of War on Gu Yushi's impeachment of Gu Yushi, and the content of the instructions was to require the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division to strengthen training. Therefore, Wu Shigong asked the soldiers of the three deputy commanders to take turns to participate in military training. The 100 pro-soldier households were abolished, and the military training team was used as a temporary pro-soldier team under the command. And Xu Zhimu will completely take charge of the internal affairs of the Yamen of the Soldiers and Horses, as well as the business of the unspoken rules in the Yamen.

Every month, the amount of silver handed over to Wu Shigong by each hundred households was raised to sixty taels. The silver handed over by the water dragon team and Xu Zhimu is counted separately. In addition, Wu Shigong also informed everyone of the agreement reached between Wu Shigong and the factory guard and the regulations made on those gangs. After the briefing, all the deputy commanders were very excited. Because their income will be greatly improved.

After the meeting, Wu Shigong and Zhang Kequan were alone. Zhang Kequan took out an abacus, crackled and skillfully calculated, and said to Wu Shigong: Remove all expenses, Wu Shigong will get more than 10,000 taels of silver from the Terracotta Division every year.

After the meeting that day, Wu Shigong also officially hosted a banquet for his master, Mr. Zhang Kequan. As a late reception party. At the banquet, Zhang Kequan introduced himself to Wu Shigong and said: Zhang Kequan and his brother Zhang Kehua are both from Shaoxing, and they both have the fame of showing talents. Because the admission rate of the imperial examination in Shaoxing is too low, many scholars like them go to various officials to serve as staff masters.

Zhang Kequan also introduced: There are also two kinds of masters. One is the criminal master; One is the master of money and grain. And although Zhang Kequan can do both of them, he is best at the position of the master of money and grain. Wu Shigong thought to himself: No wonder that Zhang Kequan has a good calculation.

That Zhang Kequan also said to Wu Shigong: Zhang Kequan used to be a staff member in many yamen, so he has a lot of experience. This time, because Zhang Kequan's eldest grandson was born, Zhang Kequan also wanted to go home to retire. But he couldn't stand the affection of Hou Ye Xue Lian and his brother Zhang Kehua, so Zhang Kequan was halfway back to his hometown and then rushed to the capital, so he was a little late. However, Zhang Kequan told Wu Shigong that no matter what, Zhang Kequan will work here for three years at most, and he will definitely return to his hometown after that.

Wu Shigong expressed his gratitude to Zhang Kequan for his assistance, Zhang Kequan is indeed very capable, and has picked up a lot of burdens for Wu Shigong these days, which has made Wu Shigong a lot easier. Wu Shigong then told Zhang Kequan that after the matter of cleaning up the ruins was over, Zhang Kequan would be asked to help him in the affairs of the yamen. In particular, Wu Shigong told Zhang Kequan that he was not very familiar with the situation of the Ming Dynasty officialdom, and if there was anything wrong with him, he asked Zhang Kequan to correct and criticize him in time. For this reason, Wu Shigong also solemnly gave Zhang Kequan a teacher salute.

After returning to Xue's mansion, Wu Shigong lay on the recliner and relaxed. He thought to himself: The affairs of the Terracotta Division have finally been basically straightened out.

But the work of the Terracotta Division can be straightened out is not without sequelae. One day, a pretty little widow pretended to meet Wu Shigong on the street and stopped Wu Shigong, complaining to Wu Shigong that her fat powder shop had to pay an extra two yuan of silver every month. Wu Shigong looked at Zhao Ruya's expression, how did he look at it. Coupled with the breeze, the charming body fragrance is here again. Wu Shigong agreed to Zhao Ruya in a daze, and Wu Shigong would give the silver of the fat powder shop in the future. When Zhao Ruya, who was full of smiles, invited Wu Shigong to sit in the fat powder shop again, fortunately, a breeze blew over, blowing away some of the body fragrance and sobering Wu Shigong up. Wu Shigong smiled and declined.

Watching from the sidelines, Wu Shigong's guard captain Xue Yong was very conflicted in his heart. As the captain of the guard who followed Wu Shigong in and out every day, Xue Yong certainly knew that nothing had happened to Wu Shigong and the little widow. can see that this little widow sends autumn waves to her uncle, and her uncle looks like a pig. So should I report this incident, which seems to be just chasing after the wind, to Hou Ye? Xue Yong was very troubled, and he could only lament in his heart: There are so many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door!

The next day, Wu Mian took out all the cash in the family, even including some dowry from his wife, and made up one hundred and fifty taels of gold and sent it to Wu Shigong to thank him. But as soon as Wu Shigong changed hands, Wu Shigong spent the money again, and he used it all in the hands of those who came to the yamen with white slips to ask for debts. Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: Although he seems to have earned a lot of money on the surface, he has no life to keep the money.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Kequan asked Wu Shigong: Why didn't you send these white strips to Xue Lian.

Wu Shigong told Zhang Kequan his bitterness: his actions were mainly to share his father-in-law's worries, and he did not want his father-in-law to contribute.

Zhang Kequan said to Wu Shigong: The purpose of sending white slips is not to ask for money. The main purpose is to let Xue Lian know that his son-in-law has put his own money in order to clean up the ruins. If Xue Lian could show these white strips to Wei Zhongxian, that would be the best. The greater the benefits.

Wu Shigong suddenly realized when he heard this, and sighed: After all, Jiang is still old and spicy!

The days flew by, and it was July in the blink of an eye. And the work of cleaning up the rubble is also on the way. With Wu Mian's promotion to deputy commander, the middle and lower-level officials of the Terracotta Division also made some adjustments. Wang Baihu was transferred from 100 households of the pro-soldier team to 100 households of the water dragon team. For the 100 households of the water dragon team, which was the most unpopular in the past, and now the most popular position, Wang Baihu is still quite satisfied. But there are also some regrets in satisfaction, if he did not hesitate to take refuge in Wu Shigong when Wu Shigong first came, then the position of deputy commander Wang Baihu would not be without opportunities.

And because Zhou Xun performed best in military training and later dealing with the ruins, Wu Shigong transferred him to the pro-army team of 100 households. And the vacated position of 100 households, Wu Shigong handed it over to the three deputy commanders to arrange. In exchange for benefits, Wu Shigong's fourth brother-in-law was given a position as a general flag. In addition, among the newly recruited soldiers, there is one person who also performs very well, that is, Qian Qi, the second son of the late Deputy Commander Qian. Wu Shigong kept his promise and arranged a small flag position for Qian Qi. This made Deputy Commander Qian's wife and eldest brother very unhappy. Because, Qian Qi is also a concubine and is also raised by a little wife.
