Chapter 21 Dreaming Changyu

Chapter 020

Seeing these hundreds of households and trial households getting more and more excited, they all approached Cheng Shijie step by step.

"Back off, back off!"

At this time, Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu and others were not here. Only ten servants from the Hundred Households stood in front of Cheng Shijie with their bodies. Cheng Shijie dared to summon these officials from the Hundred Households because he was well prepared. He had a pig-driving artifact in his hand.

, this is also an electric shock device.

Cheng Shijie hid the electric shock device in his sleeve. As long as anyone dared to come forward, Cheng Shijie was prepared to make anyone suffer.

"You all get out of the way, I want to see who dares to rebel today!"

When Cheng Shijie said this, these servants drew their swords one after another. Chen Dayong, the flag bearer of the middle hundred households, pointed at the hundreds of households in the hall: "Step back, you dare to disrespect the Lord Qianhu, why don't you show your respect to the Lord Qianhu now?"

Kowtow and apologize."

Liu Ning, the official of Ganquan Baihu Office, glared at Chen Dayong and said: "Chen Dayong, you are the second eldest son of Chen Laosan's family, right? Now your wings are stiff? Do you dare to use a knife in front of me? Come and chop here!"

Liu Ning pointed at his neck.

"Puch..."

Chen Dayong slashed at Liu Ning's neck. Liu Ning looked at Chen Dayong in disbelief.

He felt as if his body had been drained of energy and his physical strength was rapidly disappearing.

"you……"

Before Liu Ning could say another word, he fell to the ground and twitched a few times and stopped moving.

The other hundreds of households looked at each other, somewhat at a loss what to do.

Zhou Yandong, the oldest official among the hundreds of households, saw that the matter was getting serious, so he bit the bullet and said: "Qianhu adults sympathize with their subordinates, and the lower officials understand this on behalf of the officers and men. It's just that the lives of the officers and men are their lives. Is it true?"

Doesn’t an officer’s life count as life?”

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "I won't let you drink the blood of the soldiers and eat the flesh of the soldiers. I just won't let you take out the silver from the soldiers. You deserve what you deserve, and this thousand households can replenish it to you according to the silver!"

The salary of a hundred-household official is nominally one hundred and twenty shi of grain, and from the sixth grade it is one hundred and ten shi of grain, and an additional ninety Feng Guan salary notes are given. In the early Ming Dynasty, the salary notes were still worth some money, but by Chongzhen

North Korea, there is basically nothing left.

Now Cheng Shijie has money in his hands and confidence in his heart. Even if all the officers are given Dai, each of the hundred households will receive three stones per month, plus seven trial hundred households, each of them will have two stones and eight heads, and twenty general bannermen, each person will

One stone and five buckets per month, and one hundred small flags each earn one stone and two buckets per month.

All the officers added together were worth one hundred and ninety-nine shi and six dou of grain. According to the current calculation of five taels of silver per shi of grain in Dengzhou, it was one hundred taels of silver.

Listening to Cheng Shijie's request to make up for the money, Zhou Yandong said: "Master Qianhu, the expenses for these more than a hundred comrades cost more than one hundred taels of silver. For Master Qianhu to spend so much on his own, I really can't bear it. What's more, I can't bear it."

, It’s unreasonable for Mr. Qianhu to donate money himself, and I’m just afraid that Shangfeng has some ideas..."

Cheng Shijie pointed at Zhang Ruyi and said: "Zhang Qianshu!"

"Be humble!"

"Right now, food is being distributed outside. Notify all general banners and small banners to hundreds of households. Hundreds of households will be tried. Everyone will receive according to the allocated share!"

"How can this be so embarrassing!"

The hundreds of households and the trial households pretended to be evasive and went out to collect food with a lot of thanks. Now Zuo Qianhusuo was impoverished. Not to mention the ordinary military households who had no food, even the officials of hundreds of households, most of the general banners

I can't open the pot at home.

When hundreds of households were about to leave, Cheng Shijie stopped Zhou Yandong.

"Zhou Baihu, wait a moment!"

"I don't know what your orders are, Senhu-sama!"

Now Zhou Yandong, an old man, no longer dares to underestimate Cheng Shijie, a smiling tiger. In Zhou Yandong's eyes, Cheng Shijie is a smiling tiger.

Unconsciously, Liu Ning was hacked to death. Of course, Liu Ning had no backing. He had been a hereditary official of hundreds of households for more than 20 years. Because of his bad temper, he could not get the praise of the adults of Qianhu in every evaluation. He served as the official of Qianhu four times.

If there are no good reviews, then your death will be in vain.

He used food to buy people's hearts. With just a few hundred taels of silver, he won the favor of these military households. Especially the servants he had just recruited a few days ago worked hard for Cheng Shijie. Especially Chen Dayong, who took action.

He was a military household from Liu Ning Baihu Station, and his father was still serving as a soldier under Liu Baihu.

This dares to attack Liu Ning without fear of retaliation, which shows that Cheng Shijie is good at winning people's hearts.

Of course Zhou Yandong didn't know that neither Chen Dayong nor the one hundred and sixty-one newly recruited servants were involved in the assassination of Gao Wang, the former Qianhu master. Gao Wang was stabbed more than one hundred and sixty times.

Dao, as well as Mr. Li and his four sons, everyone is like this.

As long as these things are leaked out, it will be a serious crime to confiscate their homes and be executed. They have already boarded Cheng Shijie's pirate ship, and there is no possibility of getting off the ship.

Cheng Shijie pondered: "Our deputy Qianhu, Han Wenfei of Zuo Qianhu, has been ill for more than half a year. This Qianhu also needs an experienced person to assist Qianhu. I think Zhou Baihu is very good and can be this person."

Deputy Qianhu, of course, Ben Qianhu only has the right to make suggestions for the appointment and dismissal of deputy Qianhu level officials, but has no decision-making power. After a while, Ben Qianhu will submit to the Wei Commander Si Yamen a document stating that Deputy Qianhu Han is too old and unable to take on the heavy responsibility.

…”

Zhou Yandong was stunned for a long time and did not react.

Even though there is only one step between the rank of Baihuguan and Deputy Qianhuguan, it is equivalent to the difference between the director level and the deputy department level in later generations. Many people will be stuck at this level for the rest of their lives.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty was different from other dynasties in that this official position was hereditary. Just like Qi Jiguang, his starting point was actually higher than many people. He was a hereditary Dengzhou Guard commander and a fourth-grade military official.

Zhou Yandong was already forty and seventeen years old, and he was considered an elderly person in the Ming Dynasty. He did not have much pursuit of an official career. However, the problem was that this official position was hereditary and could be passed on to his son.

An official from hundreds of households supported by thousands of households only needs money to be promoted. Don't look at Zhou Yandong's complaints about poverty and the money to smoothen the relationship. Otherwise, as a small landowner, with more than twenty

He spent the year in vain.

Cheng Shijie took out a piece of silver from his pocket. The piece of silver was not large, only about five taels.

Zhou Yandong was shocked: "Master Qianhu, how can this happen?"

"From now on, you are the deputy Qianhu of our Zuo Qianhu Office. This is what you deserve!"

Cheng Shijie said: "But, your Zhongzuo Baihu must be released. This Qianhu is planning to let Chang Yu serve as the Zhongzuo Baihu. From now on, Zhongzuo Bai and Zhongbai will both be the servants of this Qianhu."

household."

Zhou Yandong immediately understood in his heart that, as expected, this Deputy Qianhu was not that easy to get.

However, before he was disappointed, Cheng Shijie said again: "However, I won't treat Brother Zhou badly. There are some thorns in the Ganquan Hundred Households. This Qianhu household is worried that Chang Yu is young and cannot shake them. If Brother Zhou goes there, he should

You can conquer these thorns!"

Zhou Yandong could only sigh inwardly, Cheng Shijie deserved to be an official. Look at how manipulative he was. If he killed Liu Ning and took away his hundred households, he would definitely be hostile to Liu Ning's confidants. However, Cheng Shijie let himself

In the past, they moved to Ganquan Baihu Station, but Ganquan Baihu Station was far away from Qianhu Station.

This means that as Deputy Qianhu, he basically does not have much opportunity to take charge of the Qianhu Office at the same time.

What's more important is that he still has no way to refuse.

…

"Congratulations, Zhang Baihu!"

"Congratulations, Zhang Baihu!"

When Changyu returned from buying grain, he met many old friends from the Thousand Household Office. They came up to congratulate Changyu on becoming a Hundred Household Office.

You must know that in ten days, Changyu was still a poor military household who had eaten his last meal without finishing his meal. However, the problem was that when Cheng Shijie recruited his servants, he relied on his extraordinary physical strength, ability to fight and courage to fight, and was promoted to the rank of

Little flag officer.

Then, after killing Gao Wang and handing in the certificate of surrender from Chongjinpo, he was promoted to the general banner. Now after returning from purchasing grain, he was promoted to the official of hundreds of households?

Changyu still felt like he was dreaming.

He pinched his thigh hard.

hiss……

It hurts.

In fact, the effect of being promoted to an official from a hundred households is the same as that of Cheng Shijie buying an official. It only requires money. Unlike a deputy from a thousand households who often pays thousands of taels of silver, the official from a hundred households actually does not cost much.

Ordinary people will not become military households. A hundred-year-old official has to be exploited by thousands of households, and he does not have much oil and water. For example, Zuoqianhu in Dengzhou only has more than 23,000 acres of land, and each hundred-year-old household has an average of more than 2,000 acres.

How much income can we earn from the land, coupled with years of drought?

In fact, most of the money raised by hundreds of households for promotion went to the hands of thousands of households. The commander was just the handler, and this matter was considered one of the benefits of being an official of thousands of households.
