Chapter 199: For the Official
The prince's fear is reasonable, the current Ming Dynasty is not the Ming Dynasty of Taizu, and many things are not something that can be done nonsense.
For example, this requires the gentry to donate, this is simply to poke the hornet's nest, no matter how nice you say, people will never come up with one, really think that the emperor and the scholars rule the world together is fake? Can the emperor clean up a gentry, can he pack a thousand and ten thousand?
Once these people are trampled on sore feet, if they really want to launch their forces at that time, even the Son of Heaven will obediently back down.
After all, the gentry not only included the wealthy families from all over the country and had great influence in the local area, but more importantly, which of the officials of the Manchu Dynasty was not from the gentry? Even if they used to be from a poor background, but one person was an official, and since then, this family has also been raised to the level of gentry, you dare to provoke them, from the cabinet to the squires everywhere all against you, who can afford it?
The prince feels that he has been pitted, where is this so-called road administration used to gild? It's clear that he's looking for death.
It's just that now he can't retreat, the holy decree has been issued, and he can't run away if he wants to find a relationship, so he has to smile bitterly: "Xu Gongzi is really understanding, and he shares his worries for His Majesty, which is a matter of course, cough cough...... It's just that Li'er is such a reason, but the question is what to do with this errand? ”
Xu Qian's father and son glanced at each other, and then Xu Chang said: "If you want to run an errand, you must first have silver, and if you have silver, you must have people, so this official is planning like this, first of all, you must allocate money, we belong to the pro-army people, but your Dongchang and the pro-army are like a family, the factory guards and factory guards, so the East Factory also has to give out some silver, this, the prince must mention it to Huang Gonggong, as for Jinyiwei's side." Of course, it is good for the official to ask for it, and he can allocate some if he wants, this is the beginning, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will not be difficult to run the road administration bureau in the future. ”
After a pause, Xu Chang said again: "In addition to the money, it is a problem of manpower, and there are more than 70 people under the command of this official." However, it is still insufficient, and the official can only find a way to draw some from the pro-army, and the others need to be recruited separately, but this is a later story, after all, the road administration bureau has just been created. For the time being, we don't need so many people, let's work together to set up this grass platform team first, and then make another plan when we have more activity in the future. ”
Xu Chang actually had a bit of an official spirit when he spoke, with a sense of majesty between his hands and feet, although Xu Qian knew that the old man was just pretending. But at this time, of course, he must consciously maintain the majesty of the old man, his father's is his own, and the more his father can put on music. Being alone is tantamount to pretending to be forced in disguise.
Wang Gonggong was disheartened at this time, and said helplessly: "Naturally, follow you, our family is a layman after all, although he is also such a commander." But it's okay to get started, anyway. As soon as qiē is to Xu palm print, the horse's head is Zhan. ”
Wang Gonggong is not a fool, at this time he must not be a bird, even if he has a good relationship with the Xu family, it is not good enough to live and die together, and the father and son of the Xu family are clearly going to die together, how can their family follow? Naturally, it's better to be cautious, honestly follow behind them, if something happens, they stand up, after all, they have the protection of Huang Gonggong, and they can save their lives even if they are not good.
In fact, his wishful thinking is exactly what Xu Chang meant, the most important thing in the current road political situation is the unity of opinion, Xu Qian takes the idea, Xu Chang comes to make the decision, and the father and son are wearing a pair of pants, which is okay. I'm afraid that the princes from this palace will put forward conflicting opinions when they arrive, after all, this admiral is the second-in-command, if they look good, it will not be easy for the political situation to do things.
Xu Chang smiled slightly, and said: "The prince is polite, since this is the case, then let's leave it like this for the time being, from today onwards, we can be regarded as the first shot, Qian'er, what else do you have to say?" ”
Xu Qian said respectfully to Xu Chang in front of everyone: "My lord, do you want to allocate all the manpower?" ”
Xu Chang nodded his head and said: "The road administration bureau is a grass creation, the new yamen, there must be a person in charge......" At this time, Xu Changjiu's experience in the county government errand was thoroughly brought into play, although it is the bottom, but when it comes to doing things, in fact, the truth is the same, the things in this county are actually the most cumbersome, many times more complicated than the ministry, not only to manage the county's tax collection, to decide on prison, but also to persuade farmers to harvest, disaster relief, eliminate traitors and tyrants, the teaching of benevolence, tribute, reading, worship gods, etc., can be described as all-encompassing. But there are only a few officials in the county, so the distribution of rights and responsibilities has become the top priority in a county, which power and responsibility relationship is important, and others will never be allowed to be lightly touched, which rights and responsibilities are thankless, and you deserve to carry the black pot, Xu Chang didn't even think about it, he already had a concept in his heart, he smiled slightly, and said: "Qian'er, although it is a patrol, but there are too few people at the moment, so this copywriting is indispensable for him to do it for him, specializing in managing the clerks." And the prince has been in Beijing for some years, and he has connections to know, and he can enter and leave the palace at any time, so he is in charge of communicating with the palace and various officials. Other aspects will be supervised by the official for the time being, and those who do things under the head are still trustworthy people to take the lead, Xu Han and Xu Yong, although they are young and have less experience, but the most important thing at the moment is to let people do things at ease. ”
After the distribution, Xu Changhao stood up arrogantly, looked around at everyone, and said: "The rice has to be eaten in one bite, but at the moment we are urgent, and in a few days it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother. His Majesty has already revealed that as long as the Road Administration Bureau can come up with 50,000 taels of silver by then, even if I wait for one piece, so if anyone takes it lightly, everyone's face will not look good. ”
But the prince thought in his heart, 50,000 taels of silver? 50,000 is not a decimal number, and it is only three months before the Queen Mother's birthday, and it is crazy to come up with such a large amount of silver in March.
But now he has made up his mind, the relationship is good, and he can't be eaten, so naturally it's better to be careful, anyway, Xu Chang asked him to be in charge of contact, and he didn't give him anything important, just play the autumn breeze, if something really happens, he will also see the opportunity to run away first.
Everyone was assigned, and the Yamen of the Road Political Bureau was officially established, Xu Chang went to the Beizhen Mansion Division to ask for a few scribes, and in this hundred households, a sloppy scribe's room became the office location of Xu Qian and these scribes, as Xu Chang said, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is really not easy to build this inconspicuous yamen, in fact, Xu Qian feels sad when he thinks about it, but this is also a pro-military yamen, how can he be like a beggar.
I originally thought that it was the emperor's will to write the imperial book, but who knew that the emperor was good, he only opened his mouth and didn't make any effort, looking at this not big scribe's room, seven or eight scribes gathered together to work, and even the desks and chairs were a little intolerant, Xu Qian couldn't help but shake his head and sighed, even if there were people in the palace, this official didn't seem to be easy to do.
But having said that, Xu Qian can still understand this, after all, the political situation on this road is a business to collect money, so it is naturally better to keep a low profile.
It's just that next, Xu Qian didn't want to be low-key, he first wrote a notice by hand, which was going to be posted outside the Road Administration Bureau, and after writing it, he asked the scribes to clean the office space, and finally had a bit of an office look, Xu Qian was satisfied.
On the other hand, the prince has already begun to run the relationship, first of all, it is silver, the emperor is not short of hungry soldiers, although Xu Qian guarantees that there will be a large amount of silver in the future of this road political situation, but this does not mean that Xiàn is not short of silver, the prince first went to find Huang Jin, Huang Jin hesitated.
Is this money given or not?
If it is given, Huang Jin is unwilling, but your road administration is a pro-army establishment, why let Dongchang support you? Do you really think of yourself as the second uncle? But if you don't give it, a new problem will arise, Your Majesty is urging him tightly, and he has already been explicitly ordered to let him give convenience, what is convenience, convenience can be big or small, there is no measurement, if the surname Xu messes things up and puts the responsibility on his own head, what should he do?
With Huang Jin's understanding of Xu Qian's father and son, this kind of thing, Xu Qian's father and son are absolutely done, Huang Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly at this time, and said: "This pair of father and son, our family has lived for so long and really haven't seen it, they are good now, they have made up their minds to eat the east and eat the west, the gentry's silver has not been earned, but first earned our family's silver, here in the palace, the expenses are already tight, it is impossible to find a name to transfer from the inner treasury, can only be picked from the east factory, how much silver do they want?" ”
Wang Gonggong hesitated for a moment and said, "Ten thousand taels." ”
Syllable...... Huang Jin was playing with a piece of jade in his hand and fell to the ground, Eunuch Huang lost his temper for a while, and then sneered: "This is the lion's big mouth, the Dongchang side is already nervous, where is there so much silver?" Hmph, isn't this a rip-off? Go back and tell them, there is no 10,000, give 5,000 a discount, and the 5,000 can only be moved from the east factory for 3,000 first, and the remaining 2,000 will be given later. ”
The princess hurriedly said yes and said: "I think they expected that the father-in-law would not give more, so they first reported an imaginary number, according to the slave maid, five thousand is too much." ”
Huang Jin smiled and said: "It's not much, what should be given is still given, these silver are given to His Majesty to see, let His Majesty know that we are actively cooperating, and the right is to spend money to ask for a good one." Sue you, those of us who serve people, sometimes it is not necessary for you to do a big thing, but in your attitude, if your attitude is not good, no matter how good things are done, it may not end well, if the attitude is good, even if the thing is done badly, then you deserve to be unlucky. ”
