In the blink of an eye, in mid-October, Liu Yan's promotion order finally came down.

Early in the morning, Jia Hongyu rushed to Wangjiazhuang, and it can be seen that Jia Hongyu should have set off from the Qianhu in front of Xiahezhai in the middle of the night.

"Brother Jia, sit down, Brother Jia is so hard, but there is a great joy?"

Jia Hongyu drank a big bowl of well water, then burped and said contentedly: "It's so fucking happy!" ”

Then Jia Hongyu pulled Liu Yan to sit in the pavilion and said, "Your promotion order has come down!" ”

"Oh?"

Although Liu Yan also knew that he would definitely be promoted, he was still overjoyed when he heard it, and said, "How is it specific?" ”

Jia Hongyu immediately took out an official document and handed it to Liu Yan, saying: "Brother, you are promoted quickly, this time brother, you have been promoted two levels in a row, from 100 households to 1,000 households, and 1,000 households will succeed you as the defense officer of the former thousand households in Xiahe Village." ”

Liu Yan's heart fell to the ground, and then he asked, "I don't know how Brother Jia and Lord Wang are?" ”

Jia Hongyu laughed, shaking off his clothes to make the wind blow, and said: "Haha, Lord Wang and I are both stained with your brother's light, and this time we are both promoted to the next level." Lord Wang was promoted to a thousand households, this time I went to Lingshan Wei to serve as a commander and a fellow intellectual, and I was also promoted to a hundred households because of my merits, and I followed Lord Wang to the Lingshan Acropolis, and then Lord Wang will get me an official position. ”

"I remember that the commander of Lingshanwei is Master Hu Zongming, right?"

"It's nature."

Jia Hongyu was in the Qianhu Office in Xiahe Village, and naturally got more news than Liu Yan's side, so he said: "Hu Zongming and Hu Daren have been promoted to commanders and succeeded as the conduct officer of the Lingshan Guard, and the original conduct officer Li Jiwen has been promoted to the Jimo Battalion and appointed as a guerrilla general. ”

Liu Yan nodded, the current health center system in Shandong is very different from that in the early Ming Dynasty, it is basically a combination of the guard system and the battalion system.

There is also a battalion above the Acropolis, and the war battalion is a connection between the Acropolis and the Shandong Dusi, which integrates the originally loose guards and all the machines, and also provides a visible and tangible promotion channel for the generals of the guard, even if this passage is not so smooth.

After hearing this, Liu Yan said with a smile: "Speaking of which, Inspector Song, Tang Shou Imperial Officer, and Ji Defensive Officer have also been promoted?" ”

Jia Hongyu laughed and said, "That's not true! The three of them had bad official luck, and this time they were only rewarded with some silver, and they were not promoted to official positions! ”

"What?"

Liu Yan was very surprised, there were one hundred and thirty-four heads, and Jiaozhou Shouyu Thousand Households and Middle Thousand Households should also have been divided. In addition, Song Gongming was originally a thousand households in Xiahe Village, why was he not promoted?

Jia Hongyu said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know, the Song inspection was unlucky, it is said that when he escaped, he almost lost all the soldiers and horses of the Guzhen Inspection Division, and later only collected more than 20 people. After we withdrew, the soldiers and horses of the ancient town inspection department began to rob houses in the Yaoshan area, and this matter did not know how to reach the ears of the Shandong inspection, so they gave the Song inspection a merit and demerit, and rewarded three hundred taels of silver for comfort, such a result. ”

"Haha."

Liu Yan couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing after hearing this, this highlights the importance of military discipline, an army without iron military discipline is a plate of loose sand, and you can turn your head into a thief!

"What about the Tang Guards and Ji Guards?"

Jia Hongyu said: "The two of them are even more miserable, the battle of Yaoshan, the two of them each led the rout to flee for their lives, and clashed with the local gentry in Qingzhou on the road, those rout soldiers against the Qing soldiers may be straw bales, but when they meet the families of the gentry, they have become brave and warlike warriors, not only robbed a lot of money and food, but also killed the children of a gentry family, raped ~ defiled a few young ladies. These can be regarded as making trouble, and the matter has been stabbed into the governor's yamen. ”

Jia Hongyu talked endlessly, drank a well water halfway, and continued: "Those gentry and big families are all officials in the court, and they have a relationship with each other, if it weren't for Li Jiwen and Master Li to protect the two of them with a few Tartar heads, it is estimated that now Tang Shou Imperial Officer and Ji Defensive Officer have been escorted to Jingshi for questioning." ”

Liu Yan shook his head, it doesn't matter if you don't want such soldiers and horses, whether it is Tang Jingming or Ji Xianhai, the two of them don't have much grievances when they go to prison, it can be said that they are all self-inflicted.

In addition, Liu Yan thought of Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong, who was still of medium seniority, but he was a little unlucky. Historically, Yan Jizu was captured by the Qing army because of the indiscriminate command of Yang Sichang, the secretary of the military department, which led to the emptiness of the Jinan Mansion and was captured by the Qing army.

Then the court threw the black pot on Yan Jizu's body, and detained him for the crime of losing the fighter plane and causing the vassal king to fall.

But now, because Liu Yan led his troops to win a great victory in Yaoshan, although this victory only won one hundred and thirty-four heads, but in the situation that Shandong and Beizhili were defeated everywhere, it was very dazzling, and Yan Jizu also got a result of offsetting his merits and demerits, which was good.

"Let's not talk about them......"

Liu Yan asked with a smile, "What are Brother Jia's plans in the future?" ”

"Intended?"

Jia Hongyu said with a smile: "Naturally, I left early and went to the Lingshan Acropolis with Lord Wang." This time, thanks to your blessing brother, Lord Wang and I were promoted again. ”

Speaking of this, Jia Hongyu lowered his voice and said: "When I came, Lord Wang specially asked me to tell you: Now that Lord Wang's identity is different, it is too conspicuous to run the soap business and sea salt business, so I want to exchange the business for a part, I don't know what you think, brother?" ”

"Of course, the sales in the hands of Lord Wang before must have been transferred to your brother together."

After adding these, Jia Hongyu looked at Liu Yan, for fear of angering Liu Yan because of this matter.

Who knew that Liu Yan laughed out loud and said: "I naturally have no opinion, I have been cooperating with Lord Wang for so long, just by virtue of the friendship between us, Lord Wang can take shares from me!" ”

"Haha, that's great!"

Jia Hongyu asked again: "I don't know the specific details......"

Liu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Most of the sales channels that Lord Wang took before were the high-level of Lingshan Wei, specifically on the side of Lingshan Acropolis. I did a rough calculation, the soap factory business, Lord Wang accounted for 10% of the dry shares, and the salt business of the salt drying field accounted for 10% of the dry shares, how about it? ”

Originally, Wang Weizhen also had a part in the salt drying field, and it was more than one percent, but now Liu Yan replaced some of the salt drying field with the soap workshop members, which is about the same in general, but in fact, Wang Weizhen's share must have shrunk a little.

Jia Hongyu naturally understood this, his face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "Brother, look, this ......"

Liu Yan laughed when he saw this, and said: "Brother Jia, you don't have to be embarrassed, this time Lord Wang asked you to ask me, in fact, I have already reported the idea of quitting the business, but with Lord Wang's temperament, I want to continue to collect cash, how can there be such a good thing in the world?" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yan pointed to himself and said with a smile: "Only I have it here!" That's why I gave Lord Wang these shares, these shares are not the same thing as the shares of the salt drying field before, Brother Jia must understand. I think that Lord Wang also understands, so naturally he will not blame Brother Jia. ”

Jia Hongyu put his mind at ease and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will go back, so I can pack up as soon as possible and follow Lord Wang to the Lingshan Acropolis." ”

Liu Yan said in surprise: "Brother Jia, what is in a hurry, I still want to go to the Qianhu Office in Xiahezhai as soon as possible in the past two days, and by the way, set up a banquet to see off Lord Wang and Brother Jia." ”

"Don't be in a hurry,"

Jia Hongyu got up and said: "Lingshanwei came with him, and there is a letter urging Lord Wang to go to his post as soon as possible. ”

"Of course, you can rest assured that the Qianhu Office in Xiahezhai has already handed over the affairs to Deputy Dai Qianhu, and when the time comes, you can just settle it with him."

"It turns out that Dai Jingbin has been promoted to a thousand households."

"Yes, how to use this person in the future, brother, you can see and handle it yourself."

After sending Jia Hongyu away, Liu Yan ordered all his subordinates to come to discuss the matter, and in the evening of the same day, everyone arrived, and the main hall of the hundred official halls was full of talents.

Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Shen Tuo sat on the left side of the chief flag officer and the small flag officer, and the chief flag officer Yue Ming, the Guan Tun official Zhang Lei, and the commander Zhao Min, as well as Chu Yunfei, Gao Yunshan, Chen Jiangshi, Qian Soap, Tan Xiaoda, Xu Le, and Bao Xuezhen, the principals, sat on the right.

Today, Miao Shao happened to lead his troops to escort Gao Yunshan over and deliver a batch of iron materials with Tan Xiaoda, so he caught up with today's meeting.

Seeing that everyone was gathered, Liu Yan announced his promotion in public, and everyone immediately cheered.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Yan said loudly: "In this battle, the officers and soldiers of all posts have worked hard and made great achievements, and I have decided that the generals at all levels will be promoted to one level!" ”

Wang Yue, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Shen Tuo couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all hugged their fists and thanked them.

So far, Wang Bo, Zhang Yi, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, and Shen Tuo have all been promoted to 100 households, and Wang Yue has been promoted to the chief flag officer, and then, like Chen Xun, he has temporarily signed 100 households as the general flag officer.

However, everyone's official positions were promoted, and Liu Yan also announced in public that the strength and salary of each outpost would remain unchanged for the time being, and he would make adjustments after he finished rectifying the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahe Village.

Everyone didn't mind this, after all, everyone was already good at this time, and everyone had more than 180 elite soldiers in their hands, which was already much stronger than the average hundred household officials.

As for the chief flag officer Yue Ming and the commander Zhao Min, as well as the principals, Liu Yan also made it clear that there would be a reward.

"Yue Ming, the chief flag officer, was in charge of heavy money and food, and had meritorious service in supplying supplies for the army, so he was promoted to 100 households, and ordered the official Zhao Min to appease the people, compensate the casualties and soldiers, and replenish the shortage of soldiers for each outpost, so he was promoted to the chief copywriter."

This copywriter is Liu Yan's own newly created official position, which is equivalent to the highest level of Xu officials, whether it is treatment or salary, it is issued according to the highest.

After Liu Yan explained, Zhao Min thanked him solemnly.

As for the rest of the principals, they were not promoted this time, but the wages of several people still rose a lot, and each of them increased by 20%, which also made several people smile.

After this war, everyone has gained, and it can be said that everyone is happy.

In the end, Liu Yan announced the adjustment of the deployment of troops: "Zhang Yi led his troops to garrison all parts of Wangjiazhuang Baihu, remember to divide troops to garrison Wangjiazhuang Baihuo, Dapanbao, and Tiepushan Iron Yard. ”

This means that Zhang Yi will be the first person to lead the troops alone, so Zhang Yi excitedly hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will do their best!" ”

"Well, that's good."

Liu Yan stood up suddenly, and the rest of the staff also got up one after another, only to see Liu Yan say loudly: "All the directors and civil officials are temporarily living in Wangjiazhuang, waiting for the notice of the official, and the rest of the sentries and horses will then be fully equipped, and three days later, they will go to the Qianhu Office in Xiahezhai with the official!" ”

"Order!"

Some people died, but not completely......
