Chapter 68

On the morning of the next day, a kraft paper envelope suddenly appeared on the desks of the Qianhu, deputy and 100 households of the Jinyi Wei Qianhu Office in Zhengnanfang, and the inscription on it was the words "Song Nan of the new 700th Household and 100 households".

Everyone opened the envelope, and there was nothing in it except a silver ticket, not even a note, but the meaning was very clear, the new Song Baihu was giving a gift.

Peng Wanli's silver tickets were five 100 taels, 100 taels for each of the two deputy 1,000 households, and 50 taels for each of the six 100 households, spending a total of more than 1,000 taels of silver.

Although Song Nan's flesh hurts, this bit of silver can still be taken out; At the beginning, there were more than 2,000 taels of silver left after Wang Dan was blackmailed in Ulzhou, and when he left Ulzhou, Jiang Bin simply stuffed a gift of 1,000 taels of silver, and the general flags of the 100 households that were good friends also gave red envelopes of 520 taels, and when they were put together in a few clicks, there was also a spare money of 36,700 taels; When I left Ulzhou, the house on North Street and the thirty acres of land outside the city were disposed of, and I got more than 300 taels of silver, and the money was collected by Song's mother for the family, but Song Nan's money was not touched at all.

It's just that the money comes like a thread, the money goes like a landslide, and the cost of this gift alone will cost more than a thousand taels, Song Nan urgently feels that he has to quickly find a way to get some inputs, relying on his monthly salary of five taels, the whole family will soon drink the northwest wind.

The place where the money was spent was not only here, after sending the silver bullets of the thousand and hundreds of households in the yamen, Song Nan took another five hundred taels of silver tickets and exchanged them for silver in the exchange pass number on the way to the yamen, and asked Li Daniu to use a big box to carry the resistance on his shoulders and enter the compound of the 700th household.

There was a commotion in the courtyard, some of the lieutenants were playing fists and kicks in the open space, some were grabbing oily flatbreads and snoring for breakfast with hot tea, and some were talking and laughing in groups of three or five, which was originally a lively scene, but when they saw Song Nan and Li Daniu enter the door, they all shut up, and suddenly fell silent.

Song Nan nodded and smiled: "Brothers, it's early." ”

The lieutenants looked at Zheng Zongqi and Han Zongqi standing on the steps, and no one squeaked; Zheng Zongqi spit out the toothpick in his mouth and glared: "Unruly rabbit cubs, don't you know how to greet Song Baihu?" ”

The lieutenants hurriedly arched their hands and said, "Song Baihu is early!" ”

Song Nan walked quietly into the lobby, and as soon as he entered the room, he heard Zheng Zongqi say: "It's all good, today is still the old rule, Lao Han and I each lead a team, Lao Han goes east to Zhengdongfang to inspect, I go west to inspect the main workshop and Zhengxifang, all fucking cheer up." ”

The lieutenants agreed with a bang, and went back to the public room to sort out their blades and utensils; Song Nan frowned, turned around and came to the steps, and led Zheng Zongqi and Han Zongqi out with forty or fifty people in a noisy manner, so he coughed and said loudly: "The two general banners stay!" ”

Everyone was stunned, stopped and looked at it in surprise, Zheng Zongqi squinted his eyes and said, "What does Song Baihu command?" ”

Song Nan said solemnly: "Don't you think there is anything wrong with the two general flags?" ”

Zheng Zongqi said: "What is inappropriate? Do I have one? Old Han, brothers, did I come early in the morning to kill people and set fires? ”

The lieutenants laughed, and Song Nan shouted, "What are you laughing at? Shangguan asked, you are disrespectful, do you want to eat the board? ”

Everyone didn't expect Song Nan to suddenly get angry, they were a little at a loss, Zheng Zongqi slowly came to the bottom of the stairs and stared at Song Nan's eyes and said: "Song Baihu, the brothers have worked hard to go out on errands, and they are tired like dogs this day, if you don't encourage a few words, why are you angry at everyone?" ”

Song Nan said coldly: "I'm not angry, I'm talking about the rules." ”

"Rules? You just told us about the rules in Jinyi Wei the day after you came? Zheng Zongqi had a mocking look on his face.

Song Nan said: "I may not understand other rules, but some of the rules are obvious, I am the 700th household of 100 households, you go out on an errand, don't you need my consent, don't you need to report to me?" As soon as I came in, you took it upon yourself to assign today's tasks, but can you report to me? ”

Zheng Zongqi was speechless for a while, and said for a while: "It turns out that Song Baihu thinks that we didn't give you face, well, report to Song Baihu, today I and Han Zongqi each take a team of brothers to patrol the workshop, Han Zongqi to the east and I to the west, this time are you clear?" ”

Song Nan snorted and said, "I know it." ”

Zheng Zongqi sneered: "Then our brothers are leaving." After that, he took a mouthful of thick phlegm, waved his hand, turned his head and left.

Song Nan shouted: "Stop! ”

Zheng Zongqi turned his head and said, "What do Song Baihu have to do?" ”

Song Nan said: "Do I agree with your assignment?" Today, all flag schools are divided into five teams, each team of 20 people, Zheng Zongqi led a team to Zhengxifang, Han Zongqi led a team to Zhengdongfang, Liu Xiaoqi Zhang Xiaoqi led a team to the left of the Temple of Heaven to inspect, Huang Xiaoqi Cai Xiaoqi led a team to the left of the Shanchuan Altar to inspect, the last team was led by me to inspect Zhengnanfang, do you understand? ”

All the captains looked at each other, no one said anything, and they all waited to see Zheng Zongqi's face; Zheng Zongqi's face became extremely gloomy, and he wanted to speak, but Han Zongqi quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, signaling not to collide with Song Nan.

Song Nan didn't look at Zheng Zongqi, his eyes swept over the captains and said loudly: "I Song Nan may not understand the other rules of Jinyiwei, but there is one rule that is common to the yamen in the world, and that is to obey orders and discipline!" Although Jinyiwei is not an officer and soldier of the guard, but it is also similar to the army, the order of the official here is the military order, if you feel unconvinced, you can stand up and speak now, I admire the hero who speaks in person, but not the coward who mutters behind his back; But before you speak, weigh your reasons for whether they are sufficient, or don't blame me for serving you with a red and black elm stick. ”

Everyone was taken aback, this young Song Baihu actually knew that the red and black elm sticks that were executed in the Jinyi Guard of the Road were the original hardwood sticks specially used for spanking in Zhengnanfang, these sticks had already been locked in the warehouse for a long time and had not been taken out for use, Song Nan didn't know how Lu Dao knew Lu Dao.

Zheng Zongqi snorted and said hatefully: "Okay, I want to see how you take your brothers well, and the brothers' future salaries and water will depend on your Song Baihu." ”

Song Nan said with a smile: "Zheng Zongqi doesn't need to bother, you can just do your own errand, I know what you are referring to, it's nothing more than the brothers' salaries are not in place, and they are discriminated against by others, I just want to tell you that dignity and face are not given by others, they are earned by themselves, and if you want our 700th household to have face in front of others, you can only rely on the brothers themselves." ”

Zheng Zongqi sneered: "Who wouldn't say beautiful words?" ”

Song Nan said: "I will not only say, I will also do; I have heard that you have done a lot of work on the street in order to make up the difference in your salaries and make some money on the streets, and I do not want to find out how you used to squeeze oil and water on the streets, but from this day on, you are no longer allowed to mess around on the streets, and you will ruin the reputation of my 700th household; The so-called dignity is established from here, so that the people should not see the people of our 700th household as if they had seen ghosts. ”

The captains were in an uproar, Song Nan's move was equivalent to completely ruining their way to make up the difference in salary, so that they could only receive half of the monthly salary, how could they live this day? Someone muttered in a low voice, and then it developed into a noisy coax, and some people even shouted: "Lao Tzu is gone." ”

Song Nan pointed to a school captain who cursed loudly and said, "You...... Come out. ”

The lieutenant walked out of the crowd with his head held high, reached out and threw his hat and clothes to the ground, and cried, "What? It's reasonable to cut off the life of your brothers, are you such an official? No more. ”

Song Nan glanced at Li Daniu, Li Daniu stepped forward and grabbed the lieutenant's collar and dragged it to the side, Zheng Zongqi shouted: "What are you doing?" Song Baihu, are you going to take your brother under the knife? ”

Song Nan shouted: "Give me silence, before I finished speaking, this guy jumped out and scolded, there is no official, how can I spare him; Twenty slaps first, and then I will show you something. ”

Li Daniu slapped the captain who threatened to do nothing, and everyone's eyes breathed fire, as if they were eager to try to defend.

Song Nan stood with his hands in his hands, and after the twenty slaps were finished, he stretched out his hand and waved it gently, Sun San and Qin Si immediately lifted the big wooden box in the house and put it on the steps.

Everyone looked at the ground, and they were stunned, the box was full of white silver ingots, and the silver ingots all over the steps glowed with a dark white halo, and they were really dizzy to look at.

Song Nan said with a smile: "I don't want to cut off the wealth of your brothers, but I want the brothers to have a good financial path, don't let the people poke the backbone, every month you can receive the difference from me, if you perform well, I will add a big red envelope, and never let your brothers have no money to support their families; Sun San and Qin Si, according to the list, will make up the difference this month, and add two taels of silver for each team for tea. ”

Sun San and Qin Si agreed, one took the list and read the name, and the other distributed the silver taels to a lieutenant.

Zheng Zongqi and Han Zongqi didn't expect Song Nan to come to such a hand, the reason why they were able to win the support of the captains was because it solved the problem of the shortage of salaries and silver, Song Nan did this, and also hit the captains' life, but Zheng Zongqi couldn't stop it, if he forced the brothers not to take the silver, he would become the one who cut off the brothers' financial routes, but became the target of the public.

Although the lieutenants did not want to offend Zheng Zongqi, the temptation of silver was obviously greater, since Song Baihu had announced that he was not allowed to squeeze oil in the shop, how could he not want this silver? Although he twisted and pinched, he still took the silver one by one and put it into his sleeve.

Each person was reissued with one tael or three taels of silver, and the more than 100 people were only more than 100 taels, plus each of the five squads issued two taels of silver for summer tea, and there was still more than half of the five hundred taels of broken silver.

Song Nan didn't give up yet, and shouted loudly: "Where is Huang Hui? ”

A tall and thin flag officer stepped forward and arched his hand: "Song Baihu, the lowly position is Huang Hui." ”

Song Nan said softly: "I heard that your family has a lot of burden, five children plus a pair of elderly parents, yesterday I heard Sun San say that Ling Zun is sick and bedridden all the year round, and he has some turnover at hand, so I came to get ten taels of silver to go home to see Ling Zun's illness." ”

Huang Hui hurriedly said: "How can this be, how can you ask for Song Baihu's money?" ”

Song Nan said: "One person is in trouble with the Bafang Gang, what is this, besides, I am also for the sake of our hundreds of households, the backyard is uneasy, how can I feel at ease on official business?" Here, take it. ”

Song Nan picked up a few silver ingots and slapped them in Huang Hui's hand, Huang Hui was so excited that he trembled his lips and couldn't speak.

Song Nan even named the names of seven or eight captains, all of whom were poor masters of the family, and each of them gave three or five taels of silver for urgent use, which made the eyes of these captains red, and the scene was very sensational.

In the cold-blooded Jinyi Wei Yamen, how could there have been such a warm scene, everyone was staring at the people outside, and when they returned to the yamen, they also raised their eyebrows and glared angrily among their own people in the yamen, who would care about your family's affairs, let alone help you solve your difficulties in your family.

"Well done." Zheng Zongqi spat a few mouthfuls of foam.

Song Nan turned his head and smiled: "Does Zheng Zongqi have any opinions?" How about you get all this money? ”

Zheng Zongqi snorted angrily and waved his hand and walked out with his team, Song Nan said loudly: "Don't forget, but don't squeeze oil and water on the street, I can make it clear today, if anyone dares to do that again, don't blame me for being polite." ”
