Fei Wenyao, who was standing aside, could not help but be shocked when he saw Yue Buqun suddenly become so angry. What had happened to make the usually calm Yue Buqun react so violently?
"grown ups!"
Fei Wenyao looked at Yue Buqun and spoke in a low voice.
Taking a deep breath, Yue Buqun glanced at Fei Wenyao and said, "How about what I asked you to do earlier?"
Hearing Yue Buqun speak, Fei Wenyao said almost instinctively: "Sir, my subordinates have followed your instructions and selected a group of elites from the Shaanxi Jinyiwei system. Now these people have been ordered to come.
.”
Yue Buqun said slowly: "Go and let them gather at the school ground. I want to see them."
Upon hearing this, Fei Wenyao nodded quickly and said, "My subordinate will go right away."
These days, although Yue Buqun has been staying in the Jinyiwei Thousand Households Institute, he has done a lot of things. Among them, Fei Wenyao selected a group of Jinyiwei personnel from the Jinyiwei Thousand Households Institute in Shaanxi Province.
Let the elite come out and listen.
The personnel of the Jinyiwei can be described as complex. Although the number of people in the Jinyiwei is not large, in fact there are at least hundreds of thousands of people belonging to the Jinyiwei, and at its peak there were hundreds of thousands.
Without so many personnel, how could Jinyiwei be able to control the intelligence of various parts of the Ming Dynasty and monitor the world.
There are really only tens of thousands of people in Jinyiwei. With such a small number of people, let alone supervising the world, I am afraid it is a problem even to supervise hundreds of officials.
Just like the Shaanxi Jinyiwei Thousand Households Office, there are hundreds of Jinyiwei registered on the surface, but the number of spies and other spies who have been working for Jinyiwei for generations, or who have been developed by Jinyiwei, totals no less than tens of thousands.
Most of the time, these people are non-staff members of Jinyiwei, but if necessary, these people can be transferred to Jinyiwei at any time.
Because Jin Yiwei knows these people very well, and these people are actually the ones who really work for Jin Yiwei. They are strong and capable. Compared with the real Jin Yiwei, the only difference is their status as Jin Yiwei.
Even though Yue Buqun suddenly landed in the Shaanxi Jinyi Guards House, there were not many trustworthy people around him, but this was not a problem at all.
As the top leader of Shaanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, Yue Buqun can easily select a group of loyal and trustworthy people from the Jinyiwei system if he is willing.
Fei Wenyao has been busy with this matter these days.
Not long after, hundreds of strong men appeared on the small campus of the Jinyiwei Qianhu School. Many of these people were full of evil spirits, and they were not easy to provoke at first glance.
There are also some people who seem quite aloof, but the aura they reveal invisibly is not bad at all, at least second-rate.
It is conceivable that these hundreds of people can be selected and appear here. Regardless of their wealth or ability, they must be credible. Otherwise, they would not have the chance to appear here.
Some people's eyes flashed with excitement and anticipation.
Being able to be selected here is definitely a great opportunity for these people.
Some of them have been working for Jin Yiwei for generations and are almost a part of Jin Yiwei, but they do not have the official status of Jin Yiwei.
For them, being able to have a formal Jinyiwei status is definitely something that most people dream of.
Now is their chance, because when Fei Wenyao separated them from so many people, he had already said that among them, the hundred with the most ability and strength will directly become Jinyiwei.
The household's Yue Buqun will incorporate them into the Jinyiwei and become a true Jinyiwei captain.
Even if you fail to make it into the top 100, you will still have the opportunity to become a Jinyiwei in the future, so everyone present is full of expectations.
When Yue Buqun walked into the small school grounds, everyone's eyes turned to Yue Buqun.
While these people were sizing up Yue Buqun, Yue Buqun couldn't help but sizing up the hundreds of people present, even though he had seen the list Fei Wenyao gave him and the information about these people beforehand.
But when Yue Buqun actually saw such a group of people, his heart was still full of sighs.
It can only be said that the power and foundation of the imperial court are really not comparable to the so-called Jianghu sects.
At the peak of their Huashan sect, there were twenty or thirty first-rate masters, and there were only two or three top masters. As for the second-rate masters, they were almost a hundred. Looking at the world, only the Sun Moon Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang could rival them.
However, even the Huashan Sect in its heyday could not compare with a mere Jin Yiwei under the imperial court.
Just like today's Huashan Sect, apart from him and Ning Zhongze, several of his disciples are only second-rate. With the addition of dozens of third-rate or even inferior disciples, their strength is no longer among the Five Mountains.
Worse.
But look at the reserve strength of these Jin Yiwei in front of you.
According to the information Fei Wenyao gave him, among the hundreds of carefully selected candidates, there is one first-rate player, more than a dozen second-rate players, and dozens of others who have entered the third-rate. That is to say
, these people in front of them alone are enough to overwhelm the Huashan Sect.
What's more important is that these people are actually just part of the troops under the Shaanxi Jinyiwei Qianhu. If Yue Buqun is willing, it is not difficult to double the number on this basis.
No wonder Yue Buqun was so emotional. He worked hard, spent decades, and could only restore the Huashan Sect to its current level. He asked himself that the Huashan Sect had some strength in the world.
But comparing Jin Yiwei's background, Yue Buqun truly realized what the power of the imperial court was.
Just when Yue Buqun was distracted, suddenly, a loud voice sounded.
"Subordinates, please pay your respects to Mr. Qianhu."
In the small school ground, hundreds of people worshiped Yue Buqun.
Such a loud noise immediately woke up Yue Buqun.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at the hundreds of people prostrating themselves in front of him, especially among them were first-rate players and second-rate players. These people all looked at him with fiery eyes, which filled Yue Buqun's heart.
With a strange kind of excitement.
After calming down his mind, Yue Buqun said solemnly: "Get up without courtesy."
With a snap, hundreds of people stood up and looked at Yue Buqun with burning eyes.
Yue Buqun glanced at the crowd, and when his eyes fell on a man in his thirties, he said: "Gu Yuzhang!"
Immediately, the man's energy perked up, he stepped forward, bowed to Yue Buqun and said, "My subordinate, Gu Yuzhang, pays homage to Mr. Qianhu."
Yue Buqun looked at Gu Yuzhang with admiration. Gu Yuzhang was the only top-notch player among these people, so he was naturally valued by Yue Buqun.
"I appoint you as the chief flag officer of Jinyiwei. From now on, you will be the chief flag officer of our Qianhu Branch of Jinyiwei."
Gu Yuzhang couldn't help but feel overjoyed when he heard this. His Gu family was an undercover agent of Jinyiwei, and his father even held the title of Jinyiwei General Banner. However, his father's identity was obviously secret and not suitable for exposure, and he had no real power.
Obviously, a son like Gu Yuzhang has no status in Jinyiwei. Because Gu Yuzhang's father offended the officials of Jinyiwei's Qianhu Office, Gu Yuzhang had no chance to officially enter Jinyiwei even though he was a top-notch player.
Until Yuan Ming was arrested not long ago, Yuan Ming's Jinyiwei officials were purged from top to bottom, and the Gu family's enemy, the official from the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, was also captured during the purge.
Fei Wenyao was selecting good players in the Jinyiwei system. With no one suppressing him, Gu Yuzhang naturally stood out by relying on his own strength.
Now that he was appointed by Yue Buqun as the chief flag officer of the Jinyiwei, Gu Yuzhang was greatly excited, although his status as chief flag officer was not worthy of his first-class skills.
But Gu Yuzhang was extremely satisfied. As long as he was given the opportunity to become an official member of the Jinyiwei, he thought that with his own strength, he would one day be able to reach a high position.
Gu Yuzhang was extremely grateful to Yue Buqun who gave him the opportunity and directly appointed him as the flag officer of the Imperial Guard.
And it is obvious that these people were promoted by Yue Buqun, so no matter what they think, they will naturally bear the mark of Yue Buqun on their bodies, and they will be regarded as one of Yue Buqun's party.
Yue Buqun laughed loudly, stepped forward, helped Gu Yuzhang up and said, "I will work with you from now on. As long as you make meritorious deeds, I will definitely reward you."
Gu Yuzhang responded happily.
At the same time, Yue Buqun called the names of a dozen more people. These dozen people were among the people present, and their strength had reached the second-rate level.
For these people, Yue Buqun did not hesitate to reward them and directly appointed them as small banner officers of the Imperial Guard, which naturally made these people extremely grateful.
Soon Yue Buqun incorporated those who were among the top 100 in strength into the Jinyiwei Thousand Households System and officially became members of the Jinyiwei.
Although the remaining people were not able to officially become members of the Jin Yiwei, they also received Yue Buqun's promise that as long as they could make meritorious deeds in the future, they would have the opportunity to become members of the Jin Yiwei. This was also exciting for these people, at least Yue Buqun.
The promise gave them hope, didn't it?
For these people, whenever they have the opportunity to become a member of the Imperial Guard, they will fight for it even if they risk their lives.
Others don't know, but they, who are from the periphery of Jinyiwei, know best what it means to them once they become official members of Jinyiwei.
Even if he is just an ordinary Jinyiwei captain, although Jinyiwei's reputation is not very good, compared with the so-called reputation, profit is the most important. In the local area, few people dare to provoke Jinyiwei.
After gathering a group of subordinates, Yue Buqun was in a very bad mood because of the urgent letter from Huayin County. Now he was in a much better mood.
Glancing at Fei Wenyao, Yue Buqun said: "Fei Wenyao, immediately bring someone to help them complete the procedures. After an hour, take Gu Yuzhang and others with me to Huayin County."
Upon hearing this, Fei Wenyao immediately raised his hands and said seriously: "I accept your order."
Shaanxi Chief Envoy Yamen
Several officials from the Chief Envoy's Yamen were sitting there respectfully, looking at the inspection censor, Feng Qin, who had come down from the capital a few days ago and was sitting in the middle.
Feng Qin sat at the top and looked at the officials and said: "Everyone, I am inspecting the civil affairs of Shaanxi and urging all parties in Shaanxi to provide relief to the victims according to His Majesty's order. I hope you will not betray His Majesty's trust and expectations. Don't step back.
Only after following in the footsteps of those few."
When everyone heard what Feng Qin said, they thought of the chief envoy and others who had been captured not long ago, and their hearts tightened.
Seeing the reactions of everyone in his eyes, Feng Qindan said: "The first batch of money and food needed to relieve the victims has arrived in Shaanxi. Now the victims are crying for food, wandering on the edge of life and death. I hope that after you return this time, you can supervise
Local prefects and county magistrates must make sure that the money and food allocated by the court are fully distributed."
After hearing this, all the officials said in unison: "Don't worry, sir. As parents and officials, we will definitely live up to your majesty's expectations. We will do our best to help the victims and save all people from the fire."
Feng Qin's face softened, and he glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, the disaster in Shaanxi is so serious, His Majesty is furious. I hope that in the process of relieving the victims, you will not extend your hands that you should not stretch out, and do not do things that you cannot do.
Otherwise, once the Jin Yiwei and the officials sent by the imperial court get hold of it, it will be a capital crime of confiscating the family, exterminating the clan and losing the head."
"I don't dare to wait for you."
Feng Qin then nodded and said: "Okay, disaster relief is like putting out fires. That's what I want to say. Now each of you adults is responsible for one, take the money and food allocated by the court, and rush to various places to rescue the victims."
After saying this, Feng Qin stood up, bowed to the officials and said, "I'll leave everything to you."
Upon seeing this, all the officials quickly stood up and returned the greeting, and said to Feng Qin with a serious look on their faces: "Your Majesty, we have worked hard, and we will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations."
Watching all the officials leave, several figures stood beside Feng Qin. They were the officials from the third division sent by the imperial court this time.
One of them said to Feng Qin: "Sir, with so much money and food in the hands of these people, is it true that no one will line their own pockets and take advantage of this money and food?"
Feng Qin sighed after hearing this: "If we want to help the victims, we can only use these officials for the current plan, because only they are more familiar with the disaster situation in various places. As for whether anyone has the idea of taking these money and food, I can't do anything."
The only thing we can do is to increase inspections and take precautions before they happen.”
Lantian County, Xi'an Prefecture
As Lantian County is adjacent to Xi'an Prefecture, because it is not far from Xi'an Prefecture, tens of thousands of stones of grain were transported to Lantian County as quickly as possible.
To the joy of Lantian County magistrate Jiao Guang, chief clerk Jiangling, inspector Niu Wu and other Lantian County officials, tens of thousands of stones of grain were transported into the granary under the watchful eyes of everyone.
The general in charge of delivering the relief food immediately left with his men after receiving the document signed by Lantian County Magistrate Jiao Guang.
Lantian County is one of the most severely affected counties in Xi'an Prefecture. Because the disaster was so severe, people even exchanged their children for food.
The food provided by the imperial court to help the victims arrived in Lantian County, and the news that the government was about to provide porridge to the victims spread rapidly around Lantian County as if it had grown wings.
Many people, who were like living dead, dragging their breath to hold on, heard the news, their originally empty and desperate eyes revealed the desire for life, and they all gathered towards Lantian County with great difficulty.
At first glance, there was not even a hint of green visible on the burnt, hardened and cracked earth. In the howling autumn wind, groups of people looked like zombies.
Bodies of emaciated people who died of starvation can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road.
There are even white bones scattered on both sides of the road. Just looking at the white bones with their flesh and bones shaved off, you can guess what happened.
Changing children and eating them is not a tragedy in a play, but a tragic scene that actually happened in the land of Shaanxi.
The hungry people were willing to do anything. In order to survive, it was not impossible for them to change their children and eat.
Now that the imperial court is providing relief to the victims, even grain has been transported to Lantian County. The long line of grain trucks is seen by many people.
Especially when they learned that the food was provided by the imperial court to provide relief to the victims, the eyes of these people showed hope.
"Go to the county seat. The imperial court finally sent food supplies. We are saved."
A skinny man tried his best to support his equally thin wife and said with great excitement.
There are also women who hold their five or six-year-old children tightly in their arms and can't help crying: "Child, we finally don't have to starve to death, woo woo woo..."
Countless people suppressed the sadness and excitement in their hearts, and gathered in a dark crowd towards Lantian County.
The same situation also appeared in many prefectures and counties in Shaanxi. With the arrival of a large amount of food, the court's relief operation finally began.
In the Lantian County government office, Jiao Guang, the county magistrate, Jiangling, the inspector, Niu Wu, the inspector, and others were sitting there with smiles on their faces.
Opposite them were several people wearing brocade clothes and jade hanging from their waists.
These people have a philistine spirit. If anyone from Lantian County sees these people, they will recognize them at a glance. These people are the most famous gentry and several major grain merchants in Lantian County.
On the table in front of a few people, there are dozens of delicious dishes that make people want to eat. In this calamity year, such a table of delicious food and wine can probably satisfy hundreds of people.
Surname survived for a day or two.
But now it was placed there, and almost no one moved the tachyon.
One of the grain merchants with triangular eyes looked at Jiao Guang and the others with a greedy look on his face and said, "Sir, have the grains distributed by the imperial court arrived?"
Wei Changfu is the largest grain merchant in Lantian County. He cannot be said to have monopolized the entire grain business in Lantian County, but he still accounts for almost half of the grain market in Lantian County. Not only does he have thousands of hectares of fertile land, but he also has a huge fortune.
If he were just an ordinary businessman, he would probably not be able to keep so much wealth long ago, but Wei Changfu has a son on his knees. It is said that he is a Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy and has a bright future. Even the magistrate of Lantian County must remain somewhat polite to Wei Changfu.
.
Rumor has it that the Wei family's granary alone contains more than 100,000 dan of grain. With the severe drought in Shaanxi, the Wei family joined forces with other grain merchants in Lantian County to raise prices crazily. From the beginning, one dan of grain was worth one tael.
It has doubled three to five times.
Even in order to raise the price of grain, the Wei family and several grain merchants also resorted to the trick of limiting grain distribution, directly raising the price of grain several times. Many poor people could have gritted their teeth and bought so much grain to survive, but then
As food prices have been raised, the money that could have been used to buy food to survive has shrunk several times, and even panic buying cannot get it.
In front of the grain store where the Wei family stores a large amount of grain, people are starving to death almost every day these days. It must be said that it is a great irony.
County magistrate Jiao Guang smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "Exceptor Wei, you are right. Thirteen thousand shi of grain sent by the imperial court have been put into the warehouse. They are all grains transferred from Huguang this year. They are all refined grains."
Several grain merchants couldn't help but have excited and greedy looks in their eyes after hearing this.
Wei Changfu swallowed his saliva and said with a bit of greed: "That's really great."
[I was delayed for something, so I didn’t dare to say anything and just cried!]
