17. Chapter 17 The beggar guarding the golden mountain
"Of course there is a meeting gift!" Qian Wubing stretched out his hand and put it into his arms. There was still more than 600 taels of silver left to buy a house. It would definitely not be enough to pay for food and wages, but spending such a small amount on a meeting gift could win people's hearts.
There must be a lot of them.
"I will go ask the Qianhu adults about this food and salary matter. There will be no shortage of brothers. I have just taken office, so I have to give my brothers some meaning. Here are two hundred taels of silver. Mr. Liu, take it.
Disperse, the captains each have two taels each, the bannermen each have five taels, and the rest belongs to the three of you. You all can enjoy my happiness today!"
It is said that money can make ghosts grind, and ghosts can move, let alone humans. As soon as Qian Wubing said these words, the guards in uniforms inside and outside the house were all happy. Qian Wubing himself was a school captain.
, I naturally know clearly what the business of the captains is like here. If each person pays two taels of silver, as long as they don’t spend it arbitrarily, at least within this month, the minds of these captains will be captured.
Secretary Liu happily took the banknotes and exchanged them for money. The two general banners also shouted at their subordinates with smiling faces. The only ones who were depressed were Qian Wubing and Qian Wubing who were sitting in the middle of the lobby.
Wu Huchen is here.
"Brother-in-law, you don't feel bad at all for spending such a large sum of money!?" Looking at the bustle outside, Wu Huchen felt his heart bleed. How many chicken drumsticks would he have to buy?
"I feel bad, why don't you feel bad, but if you are the leader, if there is no benefit at all, how can others willingly follow you to do things? This money will always come back, and you can't let go of the small ones, and you can't get the big ones.
!" Qian Wubing was also smoking, and almost one-third of his family property was dispersed in one fell swoop. It was strange that he didn't feel sorry for him, but if he didn't spread the money, who would know who he was!
"You don't want to go to your uncle's place to pay for it after you've spent it!" Wu Huchen muttered: "My uncle has already given us a house and a future. My father said that between relatives,
, if one party always supports the other, even if they are as close as brothers, they will not last long!"
"Of course not!" Qian Wubing sighed. If he were to ask Wang Yue to borrow money again, let alone Wang Yue, he would also underestimate himself.
"Even you understand the truth, don't I know it? Let's stand firm first, and then slowly find the source of this money. No living person will be choked to death by this urine! By the way, you follow me now
, should you join a hundred households and become a small flag or captain, or should you stay with me for a while first? After all, you have never been in our Jinyiwei before. There are many rules and methods for doing things in Jinyiwei, and you don’t know.
clear!"
"I'd better learn from my brother-in-law for a while first!" Wu Huchen was self-aware, "Brother-in-law, didn't you say that I must be within five steps of you at all times!"
Secretary Liu exchanged the money and came back soon. Qian Wubing was sitting in front of the hall. When he saw Secretary Liu singing his name, someone came up to receive the money. He felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, especially after receiving the money.
The Jin Yiwei saluted him, took the silver and shouted loudly: "Thank you, Mr. Baihu, for the reward!" He even felt that this feeling of power was something he had never experienced before when he was a school captain.
I can't feel it. Although, it seems a bit expensive.
After the money was distributed in a noisy manner, the guards in uniform performed their duties under the arrangement of the two general banners. Those who should patrol the streets, those who should hunt for thieves, the hundreds of households that had just been so bustling dispersed in a hurry.
Qian Wubing and Liu Sili are the only ones left.
Qian Wubing finally calmed down and asked Secretary Liu, who was familiar with the affairs of this hundred households, to learn more about the situation in his jurisdiction. Secretary Liu also received ten taels of silver, which was a considerable amount of foreign wealth.
, the two general bannermen also took people to the streets. When faced with Qian Wubing's question, Liu Sili this time, without any scruples or reservations, answered the questions one by one.
After talking about the situation of the bull market, Qian Wubing picked up the big and small things in the hundreds of households and talked about them with interest. After talking about it, Qian Wubing was immediately surprised.
"So, our normal Ping An money has no other income except those cosmetics shops?"
"Yes, when I was here as Master Baihu, sometimes the cashiers collected money over the limit, and Master Qianhu just scolded me. Although my colleagues were a little resentful, they got along well with each other. The worst thing is that they will collect money next time.
Be proactive and stay ahead of us, but it depends on the day. Out of ten times, as long as you run diligently, you will always receive one or two!"
"What about those guild halls? Didn't you say that our most popular ones are the guild halls of these merchants? There are more than a dozen large and small ones. Could it be that these guild halls are on our territory and can't collect even one tael of silver?"
"This, I really can't receive it. These guild halls are all well-established. Like the Shanxi guild hall, those Shanxi merchants with a lot of money beat people to death. When we went there, they didn't pay attention to us at all. If we got angry, they would directly sue us.
Go to Yingtianfu Yamen and sue one of us for causing nuisance to the people, and even adults from thousands of households will be punished!"
"If you don't give it to those who have money, what about those who don't have much money?"
"We don't dare to mess with people who don't have much money. In addition to the businessmen, the majority of these guild halls are students from all over the country. These scholars, those with some wealth, want to come to the guild hall to visit, but those without any wealth,
They simply live in the guild hall. Those merchants take good care of the students who come from their own places. Once they gain fame, these students become government officials and come back to take care of them. This is simply better than being rich like that.
It’s hard to offend. When I was appointed as the Master of Hundred Households, I made this mistake. As a result, I was directly reprimanded by the Zhenfusi Yamen, and then I was transferred to serve in the Datong Army!”
"Then we deserve to be unlucky?" Qian Wubing sneered: "In Beijing, we hard-working Jinyiwei brothers can get seven or eight months' salary a year. That's His Majesty's sage. This is in Nanjing, and this salary is
We have already received twice a year. Without these incomes, we brothers will really go to the northwest!"
"So, what happened today is really not that Mr. Zhou Qi and Mr. Qi Feng made the adults look bad, but that everyone was forcing us to do nothing! As long as there is a little bit of flexibility, who dares to embarrass you on the first day? You must be considerate of us.
What a dilemma for the people below!"
"How much of our daily peace money should be paid to the superior?" Qian Wubing thought for a while and asked.
"How much more?" Secretary Liu said with a wry smile, "With the money collected, if the adults of the Thousand Households can supplement one or two from the other Hundred Household Offices, it is already burning high incense. Our Hundred Household Offices have always been
That's why no one wants to be welcomed by thousands of adults, no one wants to raise a loser, right?"
"I understand! Go and do your work. By the way, this is Wu Huchen. You should put him in a safe place and send him to the Qianhu Office for filing!" He waved to Secretary Liu to leave, and Qian Wubing fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, being an official is not an easy thing! Huang Qianhu obviously didn't have any good thoughts towards him. He gave himself the most unpopular piece of land. Those fertile places must have been used to house his
Those close subordinates, and even themselves, doubted that the Hundred Household Office was not fully staffed. Is it possible that the entire Hundred Household Office was composed of those dissatisfied guys from the Nanjing Thousand Household Office? Anyway, as long as they can't stay elsewhere.
They have all been sent here. If this is the case, there will probably be many thorns in these hundreds of households.
However, there was one thing that he definitely did not expect. In the past, hundreds of households would not dare to touch the major halls in this bull market, so he might not dare to do so. What these halls rely on is nothing more than the presence of someone.
The government protects them, or they spend money to buy someone to protect them in the government. However, no matter how big the protective umbrella of these guild halls is, can it be bigger than the guarding eunuchs in Nanjing? If I really want to attack them, I don’t even need to resort to the princes and uncles.
Here comes the magic weapon. As long as the trouble caused is big enough for the princes and father-in-law to pay attention to, don't those officials who protect them know what to do?
As for those bullshit guilds where someone is an official in Beijing, it has nothing to do with Nanjing. I can’t collect some peace money for myself. If a censor comes from Beijing to impeach me, it won’t work. Hmph!
Qian Wubing laughed, and the depression that he had just spent his money on seemed to have disappeared without a trace as his thoughts became clearer.
"Come on, Huchen, let's go out for a walk!"
Walking along the somewhat dilapidated Hundred Household House, there were indeed three or two shops along the way, and there was a magnificent guild hall. Those businessmen seemed to think that they would not spend money on this guild hall and build it into a magnificent place.
, I feel sorry for my fellow countrymen. Along the way, Qian Wubing has become happier and happier. This bull market is not a bull market, it is clearly a gold mountain! No one has ever broken off a piece of this gold mountain before. It is such a failure.
Already.
There are many merchants in Nanjing. In addition to local merchants, the place where merchants from other places communicate and communicate is through guild halls that are established according to the region. These guild halls are located in the cattle market. Doesn’t it mean that as long as these guild halls can be controlled, this will
Aren’t all the foreign merchants in Nanjing under control?
"Hey, this isn't Brother Qian..."
Qian Wubing didn't expect that he would meet an acquaintance here, but when this person walked out of a guild hall with his head lowered, he looked a little disbelieving when he saw that he was wearing official clothes.
"Brother Liu, is he from Shanxi?" Qian Wubing looked at the plaque above his head. The four large red letters "Shanxi Guild Hall" folded and shone in the sun.
"My ancestral home is Datong, Shanxi!" The surprise on Liu Zigu's face has not faded: "Brother Qian is actually a Jinyiwei. Brother Qian's wallet was stolen a few days ago. Is it a joke you made with me?"
"Hahaha, today's weather, haha!" "Of course there is a meeting gift!" Qian Wubing stretched out his hand and put it into his arms. There was still more than 600 taels of silver left to buy the house, which was definitely not enough to pay for food and wages, but
, it would definitely be a lot to spend a little on a face-to-face gift to win people's hearts.
"I will go ask the Qianhu adults about this food and salary matter. There will be no shortage of brothers. I have just taken office, so I have to give my brothers some meaning. Here are two hundred taels of silver. Mr. Liu, take it.
