Three hundred and thirtieth IX: Raising a thief to respect himself
Zhang Yuan is also an alien in this world. The couple has a deep relationship, so there is no concubine who is in love. Until now, Chen Yuanwai has seen that his daughter can no longer give birth, so he has this saying.
Zhang Yuanwen shook his head without realizing it, but he didn't force it at all. "Don't say anything again, Cui Lian and I have been close since childhood, and I can't let go of others anymore. That's all. When I avenge my children, I will meet your daughter and the family with the underground group members."
'"A good son-in-law is not." Chen Yuanwai interrupted his beloved son-in-law and said, "Since ancient times, the sage said that being unfilial is the greatest thing. If you are only 40 years old this year, you can continue the Zhang family's incense. What's more, you are in the prime of Spring and Autumn, so how can you give up easily? It's still long, just treat it as marrying a woman and being a child, but after all, you can still pass on the big family, right?" Chen Yuanwai said with a heartache; "What's more, the next generation of the Zhang family and the Chen family will look forward to you. You are the leader of the geese that fly. The prosperity of the two families depends on you." This is what Chen Yuanwai wants to say the most.
Zhang Yuan was originally a businessman, and that was a versatile mind. Only then did he guess his father-in-law's mind. He saw his success in officialdom and had a lot of opportunities to take the Chen clan to heaven? All kinds of care were not for the prosperity of the Chen family. He felt cold at the moment, but he didn't speak.
"Actually, there is something I don't know if I should say, don't blame the son-in-law." Chen Yuanwai hurriedly whispered when he saw the indifference flashing in his son-in-law's eyes.
Seeing the old father-in-law asking in a low voice, Zhang Yuan quickly changed into a smile and asked respectfully, "Please speak with my father-in-law."
"Boy is no longer there. It is worth it to bet on a dead man and me who is about to die. It is your important task to continue the family and carry forward the family in your hands. The Ming Dynasty is terminally ill. No matter when, if you want the family to be invincible, this strength is serious."
Zhang Yuan looked up at his father-in-law and felt an unreal feeling, but he felt a little bit of a soulmate, so he just waited for the following.
Seeing that the son-in-law was just looking at him but didn't say anything, Chen whispered again, "I'll ask you something unrelated, you have to tell the truth."
"The son-in-law knows everything."
"I'll ask you, this time you have used the banner of avenging your son and father. Let's not talk about your future position, but how much your expenses will be?"
Zhang Yuan lowered his head and pondered, secretly plotted in his heart, and looked up and said, "I will pay the two garrisons arrears and buy some weapons and armored warriors and a month's food. The deputy generals have 10,000 taels of food and food. The governor is not much, because now they are begging us men, but they still have necessary management points, so we don't need to cross the river and destroy bridges, so we also earned 20,000 yuan. In fact, the most cost-effective thing is the newly recruited signing. Although there are 3,000 yuan in total, the food, clothing, armored weapons and burning weapons in January, but it only costs more than 10,000 yuan. This is the early stage, and you won't need these in the next month. In this way, there will be less than 70,000 yuan."
"Then how much donation do you have received from the landlords and powerful people from all over the country? And how many loyal children have you arranged intentionally or unintentionally among Qianhu and Dingxiangyong?"
This made Zhang Yuan stunned. Since he took office, he has raised the flag to encircle and suppress the thieves. Every day, there are landlords and powerful people who are on the fence to ask him to bring money to the army to invest, but all of them are handed over to the accounting management of his confidants. This is really not calculated in detail. Now, according to the scattered reports of the accounting office, he was shocked by the rough calculation; "About, it's about 150,000 or more."
"Then have you exploited or runs in business since you became an official?"
Zhang Yuan thought about it and shook his head, "No, and it's even smoother than before. It seems that this month I made more money from previous years to work hard for a year."
"Do you know why?" Chen Yuanwai asked mysteriously.
"My son-in-law is stupid, please teach me." Zhang Yuan looked humble.
Chen Yuanwai poked his head out and lowered his voice, "Nothing else, your today is given by the thief."
Zhang Yuan looked at his father-in-law in surprise, but his father-in-law's answer was in line with his heart.
So the two of them slowly said a sentence together, "Maintain the thief's self-respect."
Zhang Yuan and his son kept talking until midnight before they stopped. The next day, Zhang Yuan dressed neatly in his official clothes and went to the governor's yamen to ask for Yue Hesheng.
Yue Hesheng was already sick and could not take matters. He left all the big and small matters to the Central Army who had just been sent back to him by the three-sided governor Yang He and acted as the Central Army Counsel to coordinate with the Township Yongwei.
Master Qian is indeed a very smart figure. He thought of the old love that Yue Hesheng was promoted, and made great plans. He used his connections and Yue Hesheng's close scholarship. In addition, his previous "great achievements" in Mizhi's battle not only solved the involvement of Wei Zhongxian in the eunuch party case, but also turned him into a backbone of the Qingliu Donglin Party and a hero of the eunuch party, thus firmly seizing the position of the governor of Yansui.
When he was in a good mood, he felt much more sick. Riyue Hesheng was leaning on the bed and was talking to Qian Zhongjun in the study room of Ertang, studying how to send someone to Beijing to find the Donglin gate again, transfer his many years of governor Yansui, leaving this powder barrel-like mountain and Shaanxi, and becoming a Taiping official.
Yue Hesheng looked at Master Qian, Qian Zanhua, no, he should have called Qian Zhongjun, and said with a smile, "It seems that Zhang Yuan is almost ready, this is asking you to agree to send troops."
Yue Hesheng said, "This year is over, and it's time to send troops. The thief has also been making trouble. Why do you make a reduction in rent and interest? If you don't follow the local gentry, you will destroy the village and village. The Zhang family was destroyed before, and this time, the Zhao family was destroyed, which made the local gentry panic. The people with some money hid in the palace and clamored in front of the governor's yamen every day, which was not a big deal."
As he said that, he coughed repeatedly, Qian Tong quickly beat him, waiting for his breathing. He continued: "A few days ago, the magistrate of Fu County came to report that the thief sent people to intercept the gang of clerks who collected imperial grain and national taxes. Now the Fu County government order has no longer left the city gate, and there is no entry left. He also requested the army to encircle and suppress it. It seems that the thief is no longer a thief, and it really has the intention of rebelling. Although we are suppressing the court, if he makes any more noise, we will not be able to hold it back. At that time, the superiors and subordinates are guilty of not reporting their feelings, and the local incompetence will be punished, and we will lose our official position."
Qian Tong nodded and agreed: "When I was sent by the Governor, the Governor had no soldiers or food, and he was stirred up by Gao Yingxiang, who was wandering around, so he had no ability. Therefore, the emperor taught the subordinates and hoped that we could do this with our own strength."
Yue Hesheng looked at Qian Tong, shrank his body into the quilt, and sincerely praised: "It's better to do it. Give Zhang Yuan Kongxian to solve our predicament of no soldiers and no salary. He also gained a lot of filial piety with vain. He really won multiple goals in one fell swoop."
"These are the achievements of subordinates. They are all the governors who are glorious and their husbands who are planning well. The students are just doing their duty as the Central Army to praise paintings and do some things to fill in the gaps." Qian Tong quickly was humble.
Although Yue Hesheng is already terminally ill, according to his own observation, it is difficult for him to live until summer, but this person's desire to be greedy for official positions and money remains unabashed, and he still has to rely on him to do some major things and cannot offend him.
The two were praising each other here. Zhang Yuan had already come in with the servant and reported to the door outside the door. Yue Hesheng asked him in with difficulty, and gave him a seat with a smile. After seeing him sitting down tremblingly, he asked slowly. "I wonder how Zhang Zhenfu signed Ding's matter? Do you have the power to fight?"
"If you want to go back to the adults, how dare you be perfunctory about what you assigned to me? I have signed three thousand full Ding Zhuang, and I have also handed over a group of capable personnel to train for more than two months, so I can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."
"That's good. Zhang Zhenfu destroyed his family and the country this time. I will definitely report to express my merits for your righteousness. After the reward is granted, don't forget the merits of this mansion, hahaha."
Zhang Yuan immediately turned over and knelt down, kowtowed and confessed his love, "Zhang Yuan is a small businessman who has been supported by his husband and ancestors. You are the recreational parents of your subordinates. No matter when, your subordinates dare not forget your husband and ancestors' great kindness."
"Get up, there are no outsiders here, so don't keep these vain rituals." Seeing Zhang Yuan so respectful, Yue Hesheng was satisfied, so he stretched out a hand in the quilt and helped him down.
"Thank you, my husband," Zhang Yuan kowtowed respectfully again and sat back on his seat. Then he bowed. "Although my subordinates have signed three thousand and their food and grass are still abundant, they have many shortcomings in the military. They have also found some swords and guns to build in the craftsman camp, but others such as armor, arrows, tents, etc., because the court rules are in place, they cannot prepare by themselves, so they also have to allocate some to my husband's ancestor's hand orders and the department."
After saying that, he stood up and took out a list of supplies in his cuffs, and handed them respectfully. Yue Hesheng took them quietly and glanced at the supplies listed above.
Yue Hesheng is a civil servant, how could he understand this military thing? He was even more confused and could not understand it, but he knew and understood the amount of filial piety money given by the one below the list. He was very happy and tucked this small order into the corner of the quilt, handed the application form to Qian Tong, who was sitting on the bedside, and called Zhang Yuan's words with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, but this marching and war requires all the troops to be prepared to have a chance of victory. I will immediately let Qian Zhongjun take my handwriting with you to the Ducheng Commander Warehouse as soon as possible."
He turned around and said to Qian Zhongjun, "Mr. Qian, you have worked hard and go with him. You must command the commander and not deduct it. You should not make up for the drift that should have been made. This time, you will be involved in your wealth and interests, and you will not be able to do anything."
"I understand, my subordinates." Qian Tong stood up and said.
"There is nothing, Zhiguang will go, prepare well, and start the army as soon as possible to fight, and wipe out this hateful thief pole for the emperor. When I send troops, I will personally practice it for the hero." After saying that, I panted for a while and slowly closed my eyes.
"Thank you, my husband and ancestors, and I will work hard to kill the enemy, relieve my husband and ancestors, and serve you forever."
