Chapter 185: The Archaeological Team
At the headquarters of Tsing Yiwei, the emperor's holy decree came, allocated funds to Jiang Cheng, and allowed him to prepare his own people, giving him great power.
"Lord Jiang, although the holy decree says that you are allowed to prepare people freely, but Tsing Yiwei can only give you five people, our manpower is insufficient, it is just the meaning of the commander, you also know that a large number of elite people have been transferred to the Military Intelligence Division, and our people in the four cities will be replenished by drawing manpower from thousands of households in various places."
He Zhifang said to Jiang Cheng, the holy decree said so, but Tsing Yiwei could not give him enough people, because they themselves were not enough, last year's war killed a large number of people, and a large number of them were transferred away by the Military Intelligence Department, so that the four towns and towns were not enough to have people, and more than half of them were empty, and they needed to be replenished by thousands of households from all over the country in order to maintain daily affairs.
Jiang Cheng nodded, he didn't say much, he knew that Tsing Yiwei was indeed short of manpower, and even Jiang Wu, who had been elevated, had regained some power, so that Jiang Wu could take people to patrol the streets.
"Then it's okay, I'll go first, Lord Jiang, you can do it yourself"
He Zhifang nodded, now he didn't dare to get too close to Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng's wind direction has always been very confused, and he didn't dare to stand in line easily.
Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, took the holy decree, and went directly to the Clearing Officials Division of the Criminal Department, he had been rectified before, and he had been in classes here for a long time, and he met a group of people in the Cleaning Division.
"What is the matter, are you there?"
"Ah, it's Lord Jiang"
He Wenxuan was sleeping on the desk, and when he heard Jiang Cheng say it, he immediately exclaimed, and the people in the Qing Officials Division raised their heads one by one, and then saluted Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng is now very famous, not only for his deeds of cutting down immortals, but also for the speed of his promotion, how long has it been since he went from a deputy thousand households to a servant, just over a year, which can be called a rocket-like promotion.
"How has Lord Ho been doing lately?"
"It's not the same as before, a cup of tea and a dossier are a day"
He Wenxuan smiled bitterly, there are thousands of cases accumulated by the Criminal Department, but there are few of them who can investigate, except for the chaos every day, they can't do anything.
"He has a strategy, it's a waste of talent in this Qing Officials Division, so it's better to come with me"
"Master Jiang, I'm from the Criminal Department"
"It's okay, I can apply for someone to be transferred, they will let you go, I received a holy decree, I need some people to assist, I know that you are all capable, so I came to you"
"What decree?"
"I'll talk about this later, you first say that it's right to do it with me or not, follow me, your official position will not change, your salary will not change, I will give you 30 taels of silver every month as a subsidy, and the rest of the people will be 20 taels, if your previous yamen deducted your money, I will compensate"
Jiang Cheng smiled, these people are all some bitter haha, they have no place for their skills, and they have to be squeezed by others, and they are all dragged by their families, he doesn't believe it.
"Master Jiang, this..."
He Wenxuan and the others were dumbfounded, his principal was only eight taels of silver a month's salary, and thirty taels a month's subsidy, how many times is this.
"Lord He, promise to come down"
"Ho-sama"
"Ho-sama"
He Wenxuan didn't react yet, and the others were all moved, they were Qingshui Yamen, except for Yulu, they didn't have a penny of oil and water, just that little Yulu, at best, let them not starve to death, life was miserable, and now the opportunity is in front of them, how can they not be excited.
"Master Jiang, what you just said, but is it true?"
"Now, get a three-month subsidy first"
Jiang Cheng took out a stack of silver tickets, and put them on the table with a snap, and the eyes of several people glowed green, they were so big, they had never seen so much silver, and this sincerity was too much.
"He Wenxuan, the Qing Minister, is willing to die for Lord Jiang"
He Wenxuan gritted his teeth and immediately agreed, making money, don't be cold.
The rest of the people also followed the salute, Jiang Cheng asked them to divide the money, and then took He Wenxuan to the Criminal Department for handover, Jiang Cheng took the holy decree, and the Criminal Department soon released people, He Wenxuan They didn't have anything to do on weekdays, and they had nothing to do if they stayed in the Criminal Department, so they were naturally willing to release people.
After the handover, Jiang Cheng directly brought people to Wansheng Building, and asked people to work, naturally they wanted to eat and drink well.
"Master Jiang, what kind of case is it, so tricky"
"There's no hurry, there are still people who haven't arrived"
Jiang Cheng smiled, let them order first, and after ordering, Jiang Wu arrived with someone and brought four absolute henchmen, namely Zhao Ziming and Xiao Mo, who had been following Jiang Wu for a long time.
"Second brother, what's so urgent, the Zhenfu Division asked me to come to you"
"I've found you guys a new thing to do, how about it?"
"What's the matter?"
"Don't worry, get to know him, a friend of the former Qing Officials Division, He Wenxuan is in charge, this is my eldest brother, Jiang Wu"
"I've seen Master Jiang"
"What's the Matter?"
"My eldest brother is now a thousand households, except for the same Yulu, he will be given a subsidy of fifty taels of silver a month, and the rest of the people are also twenty taels, so take the money first."
Jiang Cheng smiled, anyway, it was the Great Wei Imperial Court that paid for it, and Luo Fu didn't treat him badly in this regard, and gave him a fund of 10,000 taels of silver a year, and if it wasn't enough, he could still apply, it could be said that he was very generous, just use it hard, and Jiang Cheng was not short of silver.
"Second brother, I can't hold this money steadily, let's talk about things first"
"Master He and eldest brother come with me, and the rest of the people should eat and drink"
Jiang Cheng took the two into the study of Wansheng Building, and then told the matter as it was.
"Second brother, this, what a big deal, you are like this..."
Jiang Wu didn't know what to say, such a big matter, Jiang Cheng was not in a hurry at all?
"Master Jiang, this case is too difficult."
"It's not difficult to find you guys to do, have you forgotten that I am also a detective of Tsing Yiwei?"
"That's right, it seems that this silver is not easy to take"
"Don't worry, even if it doesn't work out, it's me who killed, you don't have anything to do, isn't it good to take three years of silver for nothing?"
"Well deserved"
"Don't be ashamed, just treat it as a normal thing"
"Second brother has a strategy?"
"There are some, there is a friend who has already gone to gather the tomb robbers, and then find a group of people who have studied gold and stone antiques, and our whole team will be formed, and the tomb robbers will dig up antiquities everywhere, and the people who play antiques will analyze behind the scenes, and we will carry out specific actions, and I will not be there in the future, and the two of you will be fully responsible."
"Tomb robbers, second brothers, and tomb robbers are all death row prisoners"
Jiang Wu replied that Great Wei's filial piety was not at its peak, but it was also a common thing, and if the tomb robbers were caught, they were generally executed.
"Fight evil with evil, cut it if you don't obey, it makes no difference, I can't save my life, I don't care what they do, if it really does a good thing, it's also a credit, big brother don't worry"
"I'm not worried about this, I'm worried about the rest of the courtiers"
"This is more assured, we are doing things for Xianmen now, which Yushi dares to bare his teeth"
Jiang Cheng smiled, those imperial histories are a master who bullies the weak and fears the hard, and when it comes to the matter of the Xianmen, they don't dare to let go of a fart.
"Okay, in the future, the affairs of officialdom will be handled by you, second brother."
"Most of the gold and stone antiques are concentrated on the scholars, this matter still depends on the eldest brother, as for the tomb robbers, what is the main thing for you to control, these people are not sorry to die, don't give me too kindness, what to do, I promise you, if this thing is done, everyone, one thousand taels of silver per person, and the promotion of the other who should be promoted, how about it"
"Okay, thank you Jiang-sama"
He Wenxuan immediately agreed, although Jiang Wu didn't care about the silver, but the people under him cared, since he was set aside, Zhao Ziming and they were also squeezed out, the oil and water were greatly reduced, and life was not good, if he could bring them silver, it would be a good thing.
In fact, Zhao Ziming and the others are willing to follow Jiang Wu, in addition to their relationship with each other, but also because they can be promoted to become rich by following Jiang Wu, if there is no money to earn, no matter how good the relationship is, it will be weak.
The three of them didn't say much, and returned to the table to eat, and the group of people was so lively that they dispersed after eating and drinking.
Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng went to find Yang Shen again, Yang Shen had been operating in Yongdu City for so long, he had a strong network, and the people he was looking for would be more reliable.
"The people of gold and stone antiques are easy to find, I will find them for you in three days, but tomb robbers are not so easy, I have to spend time"
"As soon as possible, I found a house in Nancheng as an office location, after all the people are found, you send people over, and the tomb robbers don't come, arrange a house outside the city, and let them be a place to stay"
"Yes, what about you, what do you do"
"Of course, I'm in the middle of the command, my focus is on martial arts, this is the fundamental"
"You're going to be lazy, it's obviously your business, but it's someone else who runs errands"
"I'll be the one who will kill the head then."
"Huh"
Yang Shen rolled his eyes, Jiang Cheng is not a person who can be caught with his hands tied, there will be a means to save his life when the time comes, and even he doubts that Jiang Cheng is sure that he can beat Chen Shifeng and them.
"Don't talk to you, do things as soon as possible, I really want to see what the so-called relic treasure is"
Jiang Cheng said that the treasures that the immortal sect coveted, he must also covet, if he gets it, his strength will skyrocket.
Jiang Cheng quickly rented a large courtyard in Nancheng as an office location, and let Jiang Wu and He Wenxuan move in to the office, and Yang Shen's side lived up to expectations and quickly found two great Confucians.
"Mr. Sima, Mr. Jiang, it turned out to be your second elder who came out of the mountain"
When Jiang Wu saw the two of them, he suddenly became extremely well-behaved, like a good student.
"You are Hu Yu's apprentice, I know you"
"Jiang Cheng, come here, let me introduce to you, this is Sima Wang, this is Jiang Xuan, they are all in the literary world."
Jiang Wu hurriedly introduced that these two people have a very high status in the literary world, and their prestige even exceeds that of his master Hu Yu, but their apprentices are not as many as Hu Yu, and they do not have any official positions, just ordinary masters of Guozijian.
"Two gentlemen come with me, and we will talk in the house"
Jiang Cheng nodded and saluted the two, these two are also Hu Yu's classmates and friends, if you really want to pull it, they are still elders.
