Chapter 176 Negotiation of Borrowing Soldiers and Selecting Scribes
Chapter 176 Discussion on the selection of scribes by soldiers
Cui Yanghao was very depressed, so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood, when he heard the Westerner soldiers guarding the door tell him that their Sir Velasco had gone out again, and when he arrived at Yun Qingshan's mansion, he couldn't wait to immediately rush over, take Velasco out of Yun Qingshan's mansion, and then asked him viciously: "Did I stand in vain yesterday?" Didn't you say I'd come in the morning, but you didn't dare to be there! ”
However, this is just him in YY, he does not have the courage yet, even if his feet, nominally, are still their North Korean territory, or his jurisdiction. Fortunately, the soldier guarding the door told him that Sir Velasco knew that he was coming, and invited him to Mr. Yun's mansion as well, where Sir was waiting for him! The turbid breath in his chest calmed down a little.
What is the relationship between Yun Qingshan and Velasco, according to Cui Yanghao's understanding, it should be a cooperative relationship, but obviously, this kind of cooperation has a bottom line, depending on the force mastered by each other, he can also see that the soldiers in the hands of these two people are all distinct, each with its own set of people! But he insisted that Mr. Yun should represent the interests of a certain bureaucrat in Daming, and the cooperation with Velasco is purely due to interests, as long as Velasco's joints are opened, then Velasco will naturally do a good job of this partner's work.
Therefore, he still accepted Velasco's noisy request, he thought, if in front of these two, formally put forward his request, it is not a good way, I believe that under the sincerity and wealth of the Korean Kingdom, this force should be tempted, of course, the wording in this, we must study it carefully, it cannot be said that the Korean army is too weak, it has come to the time to bring in foreign aid.
As the guide walked into the lobby, Cui Yanghao swept the scene in front of him, and his heart moved, whether it was Velasco or Yun Qingshan, they were all sitting in the hall in well-dressed clothes, as if they were waiting for his arrival, and the strange thing was that neither of them was on the main seat, and on the main seat, it turned out to be an old man in his fifties.
Cui Yanghao's research on Chinese culture is also quite deep, this is a Ming man who pays attention to the rules, no matter how flustered, this upper and lower dignity will not be crossed for a while, this main position, here, it is clear that only Yun Qingshan can sit, and in this situation, there is only one explanation, this old man has a higher status than Yun Qingshan. Thinking about the power represented by Yun Qingshan, Cui Yanghao was secretly happy in his heart, it seems that this one is definitely the one who can call the shots.
The two sides saluted, sat down, and basically did not have any greetings, so Velasco asked directly: "Cui Chayu, what are you doing these days, the people here are clear, we Ming people don't say dark words, and here today, there is no need to go around so much, let's negotiate this matter!" ”
Cui Yanghao's eyebrows jumped: "So, Sir Velasco, did you agree to this matter?" ”
"I discussed it with Brother Yun and Old Man Zhao, and we don't have any disagreements about this matter!" Velasco arched his hand to Yun Qingshan and Old Man Zhao, and said eloquently: "However, I have seen the disadvantages of this matter of hiring our Velasco business group, this is a dead person, and I don't know where the benefits are, can Cui Chawan explain it for me!" ”
"I have already reported this to our Majesty the King, and His Majesty has agreed to my proposal!" Cui Yanghao cheered up, whether this is success or failure, it depends on whether he can impress these people's minds today.
"This dream Gimpuri is the recruiting point of the Velasco Merchant Group, and the rent for the next thirty years has been waived by His Majesty the King, of course, in return, the Velasco Merchant Group must fight for our Korea within three years, whether it is to quell the chaos or defend against foreign enemies!"
"In addition, during the war, the soldiers of the Velasco merchant group will have to bear the loss of military salaries, food, grass and even surplus weapons and armor, and of course, in order to facilitate communication, in the merchant group, we have to send some interpreters and officials, which is a must!"
Yun Qingshan and Velasco's faces were a little ugly, this was to show that the other party was not worried about them, not only to use them, but also to guard against them, and it was even possible to send people in to learn their tactics, this matter was really a little difficult to accept for these two people who valued the military power in their hands.
Cui Yanghao saw the two of them with unswerving faces, thinking that they thought they were not beneficial, and hurriedly added: "Of course, the leaders of the merchant group, every year our country has a copy of the money, since it is to fight for our Korea, this money is indispensable!" ”
"How much?" Old man Zhao spoke slowly, the front is all nonsense, the current is the key, to put it bluntly, how much money the North Koreans take to hire these people, it depends on the present, what is the money, it is just to cover people's eyes.
"In the first year, three thousand taels!" Cui Yanghao didn't even move his eyelids when he saw Old Man Zhao, and added: "Gold! ”
"I'm sleepy, go in and take a break, you talk!" Old Man Zhao ignored him, stood up straight, and walked to the back hall, Yun Qingshan knew in his heart that this was Old Man Zhao's acquiescence to this condition, but if he could knock out a little more, presumably Old Man Zhao would not object.
"Four thousand taels, half of my family and Velasco, relying on their people alone, this number is still too small, and my Daming's manpower in the business group is not much worse than their people!" Yun Qingshan didn't hide it, and directly opened the conditions.
When Cui Yanghao heard this, he was overjoyed, it was really a partnership between the two families, which is good, I am afraid that you will be monolithic.
"Also, if we go to war, our people must be paid, and if the enemy is strong, whether they advance or retreat, they are not allowed to interfere with us!" Velasco also followed: "You send people, the interpreter is okay, the officer can't, if you need it, I will naturally look for you!" ”
"Also, the most important point, if it is a battle, the money and food must arrive first, otherwise, don't expect us to do anything!"
"Deal!" Cui Yanghao didn't think that such conditions were too harsh, as long as the people of the merchant group were here, as long as the Jurchens did not invade in a big way, he Changyuan would definitely be fine, not to mention, if these conditions were met, he could give an account to His Majesty the King.
"However, this is a secret discussion between my country and Lord Sir, and it will not be made public, if there is any mess and dispute because of Lord Sir's soldiers, my country will not admit it, and I want to make this clear to the two of you in advance!"
Isn't it just that you're afraid of taking responsibility and annoying those Tartars? Yun Qingshan said with disdain in his heart. There was still a smile on his face: "This is natural, it's not the first time that the visiting adult has dealt with Yun, for Yun, can't the visiting adult still believe it?" However, the visiting adults still draw up an agreement, and it is better to write such a big thing clearly on paper! ”
This is written on paper, of course, it will not say how the small court of North Korea and the Velasco business group are doing, it must be in the personal name of Choi Yanghao, after all, this North Korea is also a country, and this country still needs dignity, but this is all a trivial, the important thing is that now everyone has reached an agreement, and everyone is happy.
**************
Cai Yunfei walked into the house with some trepidation, last night, he slept on the warm futon, compared to in the shack, it was simply the difference between heaven and earth, and when he got up in the morning, he ate a big bowl of fragrant noodles, he almost swallowed his own tongue. Immediately, he was taken to this room and waited, waiting for the people in the front house, calling them one by one for questioning.
With him, there were more than a dozen people, he saw some people enter the house, and came out with a smile, while some people came out with a sad face and a wilted head, and he was beating a drum in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of people were sitting in that room, and what he said to these people, the only thing he was sure of was that he must behave well and come out with a smile, otherwise, he would have to go back to the cold shack and continue the life of the man who hung his life.
"Cai Yunfei!" His name was being called outside, and he stood up and walked in.
"Are you Tianjin Sanwei people?" In the middle of the room, there was a middle-aged scribe sitting with something written on the paper in front of the table, and beside him, there was a man who looked like a steward, looking at him with blazing eyes.
"Yes, the small one is the Qiantun clan of the Yongning Acropolis!"
"How old are you, how many people are there in the family?"
After a series of questions about his net worth, the scribe lifted a piece of paper in front of him, placed it in front of him, and said to him, "Read it!" ”
"The water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and the flow goes straight down to 3,000 feet...!"
"I'm looking at this!"
"A, B, C, D, 戊 Ji Gengxin, Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, Universe Flood Wilderness!"
The two people in the room nodded, obviously, this is a really literate person, and there is no problem with keeping accounts.
"You said you once went to private school for a year, and you worked as a buddy in a silk shop!"
Cai Yunfei nodded, "Arithmetic will also be a little bit!" ”
The two came up with another arithmetic problem, and Cai Yunfei did it very lightly.
The middle-aged scribe ticked the roster-like piece of paper in front of him, and then said to him, "Go out and call the next one in!" ”
He left in response, and when he walked to the door, he vaguely heard it, and the two people behind him whispered: "This can be used, put it in the Zhuangzi first, and see how the heart is!" "Well, I think that's how it should be done!"
He was relieved and walked out, knowing that he would never have to go back to that shack, but would go to a certain "Zhuangzi" and do a decent job.
When he walked out of the house, the oncoming sunlight was a little stinging and he couldn't open his eyes, he closed his eyes, felt the warmth from the outside to the inside, straightened his crumpled clothes, and walked towards the room over there with a smile.
