Chapter 170 Book Office
"My subordinate, Jiao Guozhao, from the day he enters the camp, will strictly abide by the orders of General Da Pang and be willing to be bound by military law. Anyone who commits any offences will be willing to be dealt with by military law. He will also supervise his subordinates to obey the law and practice diligently, so that they will not be lazy, cowardly, or prostitute.
Gambling, committing crimes, escaping, substituting, etc., the offender is willing to be punished with the same crime..."
A bang interrupted the reading of the clerk. The clerk was frightened and took a step back. He looked at Jiao Guozhao in front of him in panic. Wu Dacai was also shocked. He didn't know where the clerk had provoked Mr. Jiao.
"I am the commander-in-chief of the camp in the Chinese army. There are no battalions below. Besides, those Qiu Ba have violated military laws. I am still sitting with him. I am sitting with your mother."
Jiao Guozhao strode over and slapped the clerk twice. The clerk didn't dare to run away, so he could only cover his head and suffer.
The clerk waited for Jiao Guozhao to finish typing, and then said with a sad face, "Master Jiao Mingjian, this is the knotted essay set by Pang Da Ren. It is stated that only the name can be changed. This is the case for all presidents and captains who come to Xiao Ren's office to write for them.
It was written only by a villain to make you, an adult, behave like this."
"I'm not one of those bosses or captains. Who wants to write like them? Who asked you to write for me?" Jiao Guozhao kicked him over.
Wu Dacai almost cried when he saw the book clerk. He stayed with the book clerk for a few days in the Chinese Army. The book clerk was with him everywhere. Sometimes he would cry a few times. He looked like he was over 40 years old, and he was often beaten.
Jiao Guozhao couldn't help but feel a little pitiful when his boss in his twenties was scolding him. But Wu Dacai didn't dare to try to persuade him, because judging from the two days he had followed Jiao Guozhao for the past two days, this boss's temper was not very good and he couldn't handle it.
It's best to join in yourself.
There was a sound of trumpets outside and the sound of booming footsteps coming into the mansion. Wu Dacai knew that the soldiers had returned to camp. They had not finished their daily drills at the campus outside Songyang Gate. They had to run three miles north and then leave from the north gate.
After entering the city and returning to the camp from the cross street, the day's training is over. When you return to the barracks, you have to clean yourself, clean up the house after dinner, and drink some wine before going to bed. That is the most relaxing moment of the day.
It's much easier inside the garrison. There are some selected soldiers here, some are strong, some are literate and clever. They practice formation every morning. In the afternoon, the book office will guide them in literacy and reading. Wu Dacai was following Jiao Guozhao.
, even more relaxed than those soldiers. Compared with the days in the barracks, enduring a little Jiao Guozhao's bad temper is nothing.
The clerk said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, it is clear to me that today is the last day for the military order to make a knot. Everyone above the corps commander must make a knot, and everyone else has submitted it. It is not appropriate for you to refuse to do it alone, sir."
People also think about adults."
Jiao Guozhao glared at him fiercely, was silent for a moment and cursed, "My second brother is the same, making knots and military discipline are all useless things."
Wu Dacai secretly glanced at Jiao Guozhao and saw that his face was full of anger.
"What's the use of these useless things? I don't know the business of taking free money, but I still think of Qiu Ba as a piece of shit." Jiao Guozha slapped the table, "Just hand over the useless things."
The clerk carefully unfolded the petition on the desk, pressed it down with a paperweight, and then passed it over the ink pad and said, "Your Excellency, I also need to take a fingerprint."
Jiao Guozha angrily pressed his fingerprints, grabbed the ink pad and slammed it down. The ink pad broke into pieces with a snap, and there was a splash of red on the ground.
After losing his temper, Jiao Guozha strode out the door. Wu Dacai quickly followed behind. Jiao Guozhao said without looking back, "Don't follow anyone."
Wu Dacai had no choice but to stop and watch Jiao Guozhao stride outside the garrison mansion.
There was a burst of sobs from behind. Wu Tat Choi turned around and saw the clerk squatting on the ground crying. He quickly came over to persuade him, "Mr. Hou, don't take it personally."
He saw the clerk staring at the red mark on the ground, and thought that there was only such a gentleman in Zhongjun. He walked around the Pangda people all day long, and maybe he could say something nice to him in the future.
Secretary Hou wiped his tears and said, "This fine oil-based cinnabar ink pad was all bought with money. What a pity."
Wu Tat Choi knew that the clerk was not crying about the ink pad, so he did not reveal it, "Just say it was spilled and go buy it again."
As he spoke, he helped clear up the fragments of the ink pad on the ground. The clerk looked at him and said, "Of course I want to buy it, but it's money. Pang Pang's money is hard to come by."
As Secretary Hou said, he simply sat down on the ground, tears streaming down his face again. He looked at Wu Tak Choi, shook his head and cried, "It's not easy."
"Yes, it's not easy." Wu Dacai saw that the clerk's eyes were blank, and he quickly stopped what he was doing and agreed.
"Mou Hou is already forty-one this year. He works as a book clerk in Susong County Yamengfang. If the bandits don't come, it's time to have a grandson this month." Secretary Hou's lips trembled, "When the bandits come, Mou Mou
Working in the government office, I escaped the calamity of death, but I cannot escape the calamity of life!"
The secretary-general Hou looked gloomy. He looked at Wu Dacai blankly. Wu Dacai didn't know what to say for a moment.
"What a calamity, the house was burned down, the whole family is gone, no one can be found in the city, Mr. Hou buried it with his own hands, there are six pits for seven people." Secretary Hou started to cry loudly, unable to speak for a while.
.
Wu Dacai also felt like crying when he heard that. The houses in their village were all burned down and their youngest son was missing. Zhuangban was desperate. At this time, there were seven people in the book office. He could understand the despair felt by the book office.
After a long while, Secretary Hou said with tears in his eyes, "Su Song had no way out, so he came here to apply for the Secretary's Office job in the garrison mansion. Look at what kind of life he is living here, he might as well have gone with them that day to be clean."
Wu Tat-choi patted Secretary Hou on the shoulder and said, "Mr. Hou, please don't think so. If you go together, your family doesn't even have anyone to bury them. Who will give them incense during the holidays? Besides, Mr. Hou will continue to be a member of the Hou family in the future."
Incense is not.”
Secretary Hou looked at Wu Dacai for a moment and said, "That's true."
Wu DaCai helped him stand up. The clerk wiped his tears and looked at the knot on the table and said, "The general must hand over this document himself, and he has to read it in public at the evening meeting. Mr. Jiao will never come back at night."
, Today is the last day, what should I do? If Pangda people blame me, the job of this book will be gone again..."
Wu Dacai looked at the desperate secretary-general waiting, and he felt angry from nowhere. He took the petition and said, "I'll go to Mr. Pang to hand it over."
…
In the second hall of the garrison, Pang Pang was sitting at the top, with Pang Ding sitting on the right and an unknown person sitting on the left.
When Pang Yu saw someone coming, he stopped talking and asked, "What's the matter?"
Wu Dachai raised his head and reported the matter. Pang Yu reached out and took the petition. After reading it once, he raised his head and asked Wu Dacai, "Why don't Mr. Jiao Bao hand it over himself?"
"Mr. Jiao went to find Mr. Chen from Shuiying." Wu Dacai's heart was beating violently, and he quickly buried his head and said, "Say it was arranged by the adults."
Pang Yu was noncommittal and looked at Zhuangzi again, "Is the fingerprint his own?"
"I really pushed myself."
After Wu Dacai finished speaking, he glanced at Pang Yu. The big man's face was calm, and his heart felt a little more relaxed.
Pang Yu put away his accusation and said to Wu Dacai gently, "Your name is Wu Dacai. You joined the Tongcheng Zhuangban after the year. You were in the first game."
"Yes, it's hard for an adult to remember a mean name for a villain."
"Are you still used to the Chinese army after coming here?"
Wu Dachai quickly said, "I'm used to it, and I can still read and write with Secretary Hou every day."
Pang Yu nodded, "The fighting soldiers have the same hardships as the fighting soldiers, and the Chinese army will also have the difficulties of the Chinese army. It is always good to learn more. In this army, there are many future prospects."
"The villain must work hard."
Just listen to Pang Yu say, "I accept the complaint, you go ahead."
Wu Tachai breathed a sigh of relief and quickly exited the second hall.
Pang Yu casually handed the petition to Pang Ding, who took it and went to the side room next to it, where documents were stored in the garrison.
When Pang Ding returned to the hall, Pang Yu asked Jiang Fan on his left, "Just now you said that the new magistrate of Susong County has taken office, so Chen Shifu should be returning to the capital soon."
Jiang Fan nodded, "It should be arriving tomorrow. I heard from my subordinates at the government office that both Pi Yingju and Chen Shifu will be present to worship the gods when the canal is opened."
"After the opening of Cao Cao, most of the boats in Shuiying will have to go out. Caoding and Caotou of Anqingwei will have to hire boats, and many porters will also have to serve as boatmen." Pang Yu said thoughtfully, "According to previous years' practice, they must at least arrive.
They will return one after another in October. In the intervening months, the power on the dock is weak. We must use these months to completely control the dock."
Jiang Fan immediately answered, "There is only one obstacle, which is the Anqing water camp. This water camp is self-contained. Pan Keda couldn't get involved in the past. They all listen to Mr. Chen. If the water camp is empty after the canal is opened,
But when Mr. Chen comes back from Shuiying in October, he will be nothing more than a piece of sand."
Pang Yu narrowed her eyes, "Chen Ba is always Wang Gongbi's confidant, so he can only do it secretly. Except for Shuiying, what about others."
"As soon as all the boats are out, there will be only Cao Gang and Ya Hang on the dock. My subordinates have already identified the leaders of Cao Gang and Ya Hang. Cao Gang has no background. Ya Hang has many backstages, but now there are fewer gentry.
Everyone, as long as Chen Shifu is willing to help, we can deal with it, we just need to find a reason to do it."
Pang Yu knocked on the handrail, "Based on the information you have at the dock, what is the best reason for us?"
"There are many followers of the Luo Sect in the Caobang, and there are also a few members of the White Lotus Sect..."
"Then use this reason." Pang Yu stood up, "How many people have you recruited?"
Jiang Fan stood up and said, "There are only five of them. They are all porters who were squeezed out by the Cao Gang on the dock. When my subordinates saw that these people were aggressive, they stayed in the grain store."
Pang Yu looked at Jiang Fan and suddenly smiled, "You have decided not to return to Tongcheng for a quick shift. If you follow me, I will not arrange an official position for you for the time being. Of course, you will have monthly salary, but you can only get it from shopkeeper Liu.
"
Jiang Fan bowed and said, "I have already figured it out. Regardless of whether I have an official position or not, I will only follow the adults from now on."
Pang Yu nodded, "When is the date for the canal opening?"
