The hundred households want benefits, and this is not something that his small family can decide. Even if he flickered temporarily, after all, if he promised something, if the iron rooster master didn't count it at that time, he would be unlucky.

Therefore, this family member now understands the mind of the Lord Baihu on the other side, but he also has to pretend to be confused here.

Fortunately, the Baihu adults on the opposite side did not embarrass him, after all, this Baihu named Chen Xiuchang also knew that it was impossible for a small family to call the shots in such a matter.

If he wants to get benefits, then he can only bring it up to the prefect face to face.

Therefore, Chen Xiuchang of the hundred households smiled at the family: "Don't worry, there is such a mess in Yangzhou City, and as a hundred households in the guard, I also have a duty to do my part." If there is any problem, I will tell your master directly, you go back and tell him, and I will bring the troops over later. ”

It's good that two sentences made Jiading's heart fall to the ground, and it was great not to be embarrassed.

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Xiuchang to embarrass a small family, it is too embarrassing with his identity and status.

After sending away the family sent by the prefect of Yangzhou, Chen Xiuchang gathered his cronies.

"My lord, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao's gathering of subordinates?"

After hearing the summons, the three of Chen Xiuchang's cronies rushed to Chen Xiuchang's place in a short time.

With a wicked smile on his face, Chen Xiuchang told his cronies what was happening in Yangzhou City now, and the Yangzhou prefect who had always looked down on them and always troubled them.

"My lord, are we really going to help him? This guy usually doesn't deal with us, and even some of the businesses in the city where our guards are located have to collect money, and now this guy has such trouble, we just need to sit here and watch the show, why bother to help him. Anyway, if it gets big, this guy will be in his pocket. ”

After listening to Chen Xiuchang's narration. One of the cronies asked in confusion.

Yes, people like them, who are still high-level in the health center, are a little bit of a small business in Yangzhou City.

Although the transaction is not large, it can also fill some household needs.

Otherwise, just counting on the little money from the imperial court, it is estimated that he would have starved to death a long time ago.

After the silver issued by the imperial court is deducted layer by layer, there will not be many tooth roots that can fall into their hands.

Small high-level officials like them are like this, not to mention the military families below.

The homes of those military families are not even much better than beggars.

And Chen Xiuchang is a hundred households. It's kind of a little conscientious.

Unlike the officers of other guards, who went to squeeze the military households under his command, on the contrary, he worked hard to ensure that the military households could eat enough and not starve, so he made some small transactions in Yangzhou City.

It used to be easy to say, after all, the previous prefects were very sensible and would not provoke the business of the guard.

But this Yangzhou prefect is an out-and-out wonder.

Since he took office, the merchants of Yangzhou City have complained of misery.

This guy even hit the idea of buying and selling in the guard. Let the business under the command of the guard also have to pay.

Although the guard did not agree at that time, in the end, his arm couldn't twist his thigh, and after being included in a copy by the Yangzhou prefect, he gritted his teeth and let the prefect loot it every month.

That's just it. Every month, the guard will pay more than 100 taels of silver to the prefect.

You must know that the entire health office can only earn more than 100 taels a month by relying on the income from these transactions. It's good now, the prefect of Yangzhou hasn't done anything. Eighty or ninety percent of the profits were taken away.

The rest of the 10% was left to the health center, so that the big guy could fill his belly, and it was just to fill his belly.

This can be seen from this. The prefect of Yangzhou is indeed insatiable, and he doesn't even give others a way to go.

Therefore, when Chen Xiuchang's cronies heard that he was in trouble and that something big would happen if he didn't do well, their hearts were simply happy.

Didn't you say that you were born as a civil official!

Aren't you a righteous gentleman who thinks of yourself as a reading seed!

I usually look down on us big bosses, saying that we are all bastards or something, but now you think of us when something happens?

Has he forgotten how he usually treats us?

Hey!

Lao Tzu won't care about this.

It's best that those pirates in Yangzhou City make things bigger, so that the Yangzhou prefect can be anxious and eventually lose his position.

But the big guy looked at his boss, the meaning of Chen Slender, as if he was going to send troops to deal with those pirates and help this prefect survive this difficulty.

Therefore, Chen Xiuchang's cronies couldn't figure it out.

It stands to reason that the hundreds of adults in his own family really hate the Yangzhou prefect, and it is impossible to attack him this time.

"I don't think everyone understands, why did I send troops to help that dog officer?"

As the lord of the hundred households of the guard, Chen Xiuchang actually said that the prefect of Yangzhou was a dog official, but he didn't know that he even got into it with such a statement.

However, it can be seen from this that the character of the prefect of Yangzhou is indeed not very good.

Together with Chen Xiuchang, who is a person in the officialdom, he must be called a dog official...... Not to mention the people.

"Yes, sir. The subordinates couldn't figure it out at all, why did the adults make a move? ", the cronies on the side responded. However, the tone was a little cold, and I think that the cronies have a certain opinion in their hearts about this matter and their own decision.

In this regard, Chen Xiuchang also understands very well.

Everyone has been oppressed by the Yangzhou prefect for so many years, and it is impossible to say that there is no resentment in their hearts.

Perhaps, among these people under his command, there may be some villains who hide at home with wooden shoes every day to fight the prefect.

I need to give everyone an answer to this matter, otherwise the popularity of the guards will be scattered.

Don't look at yourself, this hundred households seem to be very beautiful, but the hundred households of a poor guard can't be on the stage at all, do you think it's Jinyiwei.

If you are a hundred households in brocade clothes, it will be different.

"I know that everyone can't figure this out, but you'll know why I did it after I finish speaking."

As a hundred households in the guard, in charge of a hundred military households, Chen Xiuchang has no shelf against his subordinates, and he can be regarded as an alternative existence in the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is precisely by virtue of this method, as well as the practice of doing things for the big guys, that Chen Xiuchang has won the unanimous support of the whole guard.

It can be said that in this impoverished 100 households, Chen Xiuchang is still very popular.

"Oh, so you have your own considerations, my lord?"

The cronies looked at each other, and one of them asked.

Chen Xiuchang nodded: "Of course!" Of course I have it in mind, and it's an opportunity for us. Speaking of this, Chen Xiuchang's eyes flickered, "This dog official has squeezed us for more than two years, and he has squeezed at least more than two thousand taels of silver from our bitter guards." If this money had not been given to him, everyone's life would not have been so difficult now. ”

When I said this, everyone in the room gritted their teeth and creaked, and it was really hateful.

"What do you mean, my lord, this time we will squeeze that dog officer once?"

A cronie was smarter, and immediately reacted and heard the meaning of the words of his own hundred households.

Chen Xiuchang responded with a smile: "If you eat me, you have to spit it out for me, this dog official is on our heads, it is really not an easy thing." Thinking about it, he was also forced by these pirates, and he really couldn't deal with it. So we have to scavenge a few thousand taels of silver from the dog officer. ”

It turned out that this was Chen Xiuchang's plan.

Didn't you ask me for help?

No problem!

Just bring the money.

If there is no silver...... That's hard to say.

"My lord, this dog official is a famous iron rooster, and he can only enter and not get out. Will he be able to agree to this offer? ”

After thinking of the character of the prefect of Yangzhou, some people raised questions worriedly.

"The pirates broke into the city of Yangzhou, and these pirates even swaggered and snatched a prisoner from the prefect's yamen. It can be seen that the prefect of Yangzhou is really an unbearable person, if this matter spreads, do you say that his impact is great? ”

Chen Xiuchang looked at his cronies with a smile and said.

His cronies nodded their heads.

"Yes, if this dog officer wants to continue fishing, then he must not make a big deal about it. Then it is definitely necessary to solve these pirates in a short time. And his people are not very useful, so we need to help. In front of the future and the silver, he has to make a choice. ”

"What's more, the yamen of a dignified prefect is allowed to come and go freely, if this matter reaches the ears of other bigwigs in the DPRK, I think this guy's position will be unstable."

The smile on Chen Xiuchang's face became a little thicker.

"However, with the wisdom of this dog officer, he can't think of this, and he must be asking to deal with those pirates as soon as possible, in a short time. In this way, the initiative is in our hands. ”

Baihu Chen stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist tightly, and shook it vigorously.

"I promised to send troops to help him, but if I can't help, it depends on his performance. What do you all think? ”

Is there anyone who doesn't understand this meaning?

So, the cronies around him also laughed.

"Yes, yes, if the strength is not enough, we can't catch those pirates."

One of them even teased.

"Good! Now immediately gather the military households, one person from each household, and let's go into the city!" Chen Xiuchang stood up and ordered loudly. (To be continued......)
