Chapter 319: Family Meeting

Chapter 319

After the middle of October, the affairs of the Jinyi Guard Yamen were a little idle, except for the expansion of the Jinyi Guards in each thousand households, which Song Nan attached great importance to, Song Nan almost let his subordinates handle the rest of the affairs.

After nearly three months of major rectification or purge, all important positions, and even most of the positions of thousands of households, have been adjusted and replaced. Two years ago, the reform of Zhengnanfang had a remarkable effect, so it was widely promoted by Song Nan.

Facts have proved that it is feasible to manage this tens of thousands of people in the way of enterprise management in the future, and under the management at all levels and responsible at all levels, there are very few things that require Song Nan to be specific and nerve-wracking; Song Nan gradually shifted his energy to expanding the scale of his absolute control.

There are 40 thousands of households inside and outside Beijing under the jurisdiction of the general government of Jinyiwei, except for a few yamen with a full number, most of the rest are only six or seven hundred people, and when Song Nan entered Beijing to take office, there were only more than 600 people in the Qianhu office in Zhengnanfang; The area to be managed by Jinyiwei is huge, the affairs are cumbersome, the manpower is overstretched, and the efficiency of the operation is also very low.

This is not the future generations, a computer can make the affairs of the entire department become orderly, to the capital of a thousand households to calculate, outside the cavalry to manage the dictation, sitting, fighting, secret investigation, patrol the streets, street security and health and so on more than a dozen affairs, and often a thousand households in the capital will have jurisdiction over one or two districts, the population ranges from 100,000 to 230,000, its workload can be imagined.

Moreover, not all the manpower can be sent to do things, in order to support these flag schools outside, the number of clerks and clerks in the yamen is also huge, and the information collected every day is sorted, the secret letters and official documents are sorted out and filed, and the food, drink, and food and clothing subsidies of the Tiqi are as complicated as cattle hair. A yamen of six or seven hundred people needs at least more than 100 people to stay in the yamen to do logistics, and the number of people who go out to do errands is even smaller, scattered among the streets and alleys, and almost disappears.

As the largest spy agency of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei's responsibilities determine that he must see and listen to all directions, and the wind and grass throughout the country must be known as soon as possible, not to mention that now that Liu Jin has become a fire and water, everything must be known before Dongchang, otherwise it will be a serious dereliction of duty.

In view of this, the expansion of the manpower and scale of Jinyiwei was put in the first place after the rectification by Song Nan, the first thing to do is to expand the manpower of each thousand households to the fullest, this is reasonable, a thousand households should have a full amount of more than 1,000 people, this is understandable, others can not be instructed, and the household department does not dare not pay the soldiers; But for Song Nan, the meaning is decidedly different.

It can be roughly estimated that if all the 41,000 households in the Ming Dynasty are fully expanded, the number of the entire Jinyi Guard Yamen will reach about 45,000 people, compared with the previous more than 30,000 people, the number is more than 10,000, which is equivalent to giving Song Nan an extra regiment and battalion.

And after that, what Song Nan has to do is to add guards, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is vast, most of the manpower of Jinyiwei is concentrated in Gyeonggi, many local state capitals are still blank, relying on the concurrent management of thousands of surrounding households, its efficiency can be imagined must not be high, Song Nan's plan to make the territory of the Ming Dynasty have no blind spots of Jinyiwei, and there is no Jinyiwei within reach, which is in line with the identity of the first spy agency of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, the more people in his hands, the larger the scale of the yamen, and the more well-informed his hands and eyes, the heavier his weight as the commander of the brocade guard; Song Nan wants to turn this three-grade yamen into a first-grade yamen in the eyes of people, which is equivalent to improving his strength in disguise.

Of course, it is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, although there are people who have sharpened their heads and want to enter the Jinyi Guard Yamen, but the screening and selection of them is a huge project; The basic condition is that the family background is innocent and the body is strong, and it is necessary to beware of someone mixing into the yamen, often recruiting a person needs to be traced back to his ancestors for eight generations, and there is a year of military career after being recruited, after that, he can officially become a member of the Jinyi Guard, so as to screen layer by layer to ensure the purity of the team.

Many people, even many people around Song Nan, said that there was no need to be so strict, but Song Nan insisted on doing this, and he was ruined by the ghost several times, Song Nan is not a person who does not have a long memory, and he will never do stupid things that fall in the same place.

Of course, there is a special department to do the selection and inspection of these personnel, and the new department of Jinyiwei led by Li Daniu, the Supervision Division, is fully responsible for this matter. As a result, since the day of the expansion of recruitment in various places, Li Daniu has basically been in an extremely busy situation, taking more than 100 of his inspectors to ride around Daming every day, and he has no time to put his busy fart.

But Song Nan knows that Li Da Niu enjoys all this very much, and a man enjoys this feeling of being in an important position, even if he is tired of losing a few layers of skin, he is tired and happy, Song Nan is very satisfied with Li Da Niu's state, a teenager who doesn't know anything, has become a character who can stand alone with himself in the past few years, which is also Song Nan's pride.

The Song Mansion is also gradually busy, although it is only the end of October, but as the end of the year approaches, a major event in the Song Mansion is imminent; There are only two months left for Song Nan and the little county lord to marry, and the preparations to be made for this are also huge and complicated, and almost everyone in the Song Mansion is devoted to the preparations with great enthusiasm.

Song Nan came back from the yamen every day, and almost all of them could see the crowds in the house, and all kinds of gadgets bought from the market were moved to the separate yard of the back house for storage, what tables, chairs, benches, bedding gestures, shoes, hats, clothes and socks, copper mirrors, copper basins, teapots, tea cups, slag buckets, urinals, etc., were simply full of people's scalps numb.

Lu Qingli, Ye Fanggu and others are just waiting for it, sweating every day, crossing their waists to command this and that.

At the beginning, Song Nan could still go to Dai Suer to talk, and the relationship between the two was clear, but under Song Nan's deliberate teasing, Dai Suer was already dizzy by Song Nan. The relationship has grown by leaps and bounds, except for the last step, what kissing and touching the milk is already commonplace, and after being together for a long time, Song Nan has the urge to get Dai Suer.

But it's a pity that as Dai Su'er's master and servant were also dragged by Ye Lu's second daughter to join the ranks of the purchasing army, Song Nan was sadly thrown aside, and the plan to steal incense was also put on hold.

To say that women's enthusiasm for shopping is definitely greater than anything, I thought that Dai Suer knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and was an ancient literary and artistic young woman with a petty bourgeois mood, but once it became vulgar, it was not much better than Ye Fanggu and Lu Qingli. After integrating into this major event, he immediately became the master, devoted himself wholeheartedly, and left Song Nan behind.

However, it is worth mentioning that Dai Su'er is very organized, he is literate and hyphenated, he took a pen and paper booklet and followed behind Ye Fanggu and Lu Qingli to register and check the purchased things, and manage the entry and exit of the accounts, which also saved a lot of trouble.

Song Nan had nothing to do but roll his eyes, he couldn't help at all, and every time he wanted to give an idea next to him, he was ruthlessly scolded and left by Ye Fanggu and Lu Qingli.

"Go, go, what kind of trouble, is this what the head of your family does? Ping'er, took her son to the study to drink tea. ”

"Little sister, I took my son to the back garden to enjoy the chrysanthemums. lest he get in the way. ”

"Who's that...... Sister Wan'er, take your son to the streets, don't let him make up his mind here. ”

Song Nan has no choice but to roll his eyes and sigh, is this fucking me getting married or someone else getting married? It's really tragic that I don't even have the right to speak.

Song Nan has become the most discordant person in the Song family, others are busy in full swing, but Song Nan has no sense of existence when he walks around with his hands crossed, and he has to sigh and go back to his room to sleep.

This situation lasted for more than a month, and gradually subsided, it seems that all kinds of things are almost ready, but the good times do not last long, a large number of plasterers and gardeners began to enter the Song family, and the Song family's house began to be renovated and renovated, Song Nan thought that the next month would also be spent in this kind of noise, but after more than ten days, it was actually completed, which surprised Song Nan very much.

On the night after the craftsman was completed, Song Nan was finally treated as the head of the family by everyone for a while, and in the hall, all the staff of the Song family were present, which was extremely grand.

"Husband, so far today, the preparations for your wedding with the county lord have been completed." As Song Nan's official concubine, Lu Qingli naturally stood up to preside over this family meeting.

Song Nan almost squirted out a sip of wine, and said in amazement: "Why is it only seventy percent?" Is there any end to it? ”

The Song family looked at them with disdain, and Ye Fanggu said: "Naturally, it is seventy percent, the decoration of the house is very unsatisfactory, haven't you seen that the craftsmen have withdrawn before the construction deadline?" ”

Song Nan said: "If you are not satisfied, continue, why do you tell them to leave before the construction deadline?" ”

Lu Qingli said: "Husband, there is naturally a reason. ”

Song Nan suddenly realized, no wonder the craftsmen withdrew early, it turned out that they had emptied their families.

"Sister Su'er, take out the account book and show it to your son." Ye Fanggu said.

Dai Su'er snorted, took out a thick account book from his sleeve, Song Nan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't read it, I'm most annoyed to listen to the running account, you can arrange it how you say it, I can't raise my hands and feet in favor." ”

Ye Fanggu said: "That's not possible, you are the head of the family, you have to let you understand the current situation in our house, you don't like to listen to detailed accounts, Su'er will report rough accounts." ”
