Chapter 249

Zhang Hao was very happy when he saw Yang Xizhong. This was his subordinate. He followed him to kill the enemy outside the city, and he was the one who chased the Tatars later. Now that he saw his comrades here, how can Zhang Hao be unhappy?
"Come, drink tea!" Zhang Hao personally made tea for Yang Xizhong.

"Major General, I will come by myself, and I will let the Major General serve me. It's a sin, a sin!" Yang Xizhong quickly stood up and said to Zhang Hao.

"What about serving or not? The two of us still need to use such polite things. How about it? Are you still used to it here?" Zhang Hao looked at Yang Xizhong and asked.

"I'm used to it. I've just been here for a month or so. I was originally promoted to a deputy general in the Imperial Guard, but the Duke was worried that someone would say that he is self-respecting, so he talked to me and said that there is a shortage of a deputy here. If I If you want to come, come here,

With my military achievements, it is faster to be promoted here, but if you are in the Imperial Guard, it is not so easy to be promoted to the general army. There will not be so many big battles here in the Imperial Guard, and I will not Maybe I could be promoted to the commander-in-chief in the Imperial Guard, so the Duke personally came forward and transferred me here. "Yang Xizhong sat there and said to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Well, there really aren't many chances in the Imperial Guard, and if you want to be promoted to the general soldier there, you are very strict. Besides, you have followed my father from the beginning. If you are promoted to the general soldier My father's subordinates must not do it, and the emperor will not agree!" Zhang Hao nodded and explained to Yang Xizhong.

"I understand, so I came to Xuanhua, and Liu Qinghu went to Fujian. They are both lieutenants. However, the Duke also asked us to move our family to the capital. The emperor rewarded us with some money, and the Duke subsidized some , we have settled down in the capital." Yang Xizhong said with a smile to Zhang Hao.

"Yes, it's good to settle down. Here, you should keep an eye on it. By the way, do you want to come to Liu Wu for a while? I'll take a look at the operation and let you be the chief soldier. Now the chief soldier is me. I guess, for the next six months, I will be the one!" Zhang Hao looked at Yang Xizhong with a smile and said,
Jiajing now wished he could control Xuanhua's troops, so since he had killed Liu Wu, the new commander-in-chief would definitely not send someone over until he was about to leave Xuanhua.

"Forget it, it's too soon, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, I'm going to cause trouble for you and the Duke of the country. I think, if I stay here for three to five years, I'll be able to be promoted to the general army!" Yang Xizhong said to Zhang Hao. Hastily waved his hands and said, he had just been promoted to lieutenant general, and within two months, he was promoted to general soldier, which was too fast, Yang Xizhong was a little afraid.

"Look at how promising you are, what trouble can you cause us? You can fight and dare to fight. The court originally wanted to use someone like you, so why should we use someone like Liu Wu, who hasn't fought yet? However, just relying on a little relationship, he was promoted to the chief soldier, and he still does such a thing! He dares to do it, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Hao looked at Yang Xizhong with contempt and said.

"Hey, let's not compare with him, let's not discredit the Duke and the Major General, Major General, why do you think you want to kill Liu Wu? How about saving your life? It will save a lot of things!" Yang Xizhong continued. Looking at Zhang Hao, he asked.

"Why keep it, he said I dare not kill him, do you say I dare to kill him? He will also return me, I can make him despise me? I have always despised others, who would dare to despise me?" Zhang Hao immediately Said proudly to Yang Xizhong.

"That's right, but the court may impeach you again!" Yang Xizhong knew Zhang Hao's character when he heard it, and Zhang Hao definitely couldn't be intimidated by Liu Wu.

"What are you afraid of, impeach and impeach, it's not that I haven't been impeached before, it's fine, as long as I get things done here!" Zhang Hao said with a smile, it doesn't matter, and then the two of them just chatted,

At noon, Zhang Hao invited Yang Xizhong to dinner at his residence,

On the Xuanhua side, many businessmen who are still on the sidelines can't sit still when they see that the business outside is so good. Although they don't want to pay taxes,

But after careful calculation, it seems that paying taxes is worthwhile, because there are no other fees, and there is no need to worry about being stuck in the neck. As long as it can be sold, you can sell it after paying the money. No one cares about you. No one is blocking you, it just takes time for the government to inspect those goods, but the speed is still very fast,
Those merchants also know the rules. Give those inspecting officials some broken silver, and they will speed up the inspection. If you insert silver bills, they dare not give it. They don’t care about such a small amount of money.

But for those officials who came to inspect, they could receive seventy-eight taels a day for such broken silver.

Zhang Hao also knew about these things, and he turned a blind eye. There was no need to be so stuck. Everyone lived a life, and it was not easy. Zhang Hao also understood the truth that when the water was clear, there would be no fish.

In the afternoon, Zhang Hao also came here. When the officials saw Zhang Hao coming, they didn’t dare to collect the money, but the businessmen forced them to pay and stuffed them into their pockets. If you grab it, it will be troublesome, but it's hard to say that someone else forced it.

"You tell the brothers, give me a little money, take it, but when checking, you still have to be careful, don't allow people to mix up valuables, it doesn't matter if you don't give money, check as you want, we are In order to collect taxes for the court, this matter cannot be delayed.
I won’t say anything about those businessmen who gave me some money for tea, and I won’t pursue anyone’s crimes. However, once I found out that the businessmen mixed up the goods and went out, those people didn’t check it out, or let it out on purpose. , then don’t blame me for being rude, I don’t want to cut off my brothers’ money, and they can’t cut off my taxes from the Ming Dynasty Hall, so I have to make it clear to them! "Zhang Hao stood there and said to Sun Qihai behind him.

"Ah, thank you sir, they dare not, I have explained to them, we must check it carefully, don't mess around, money can't be a cashier's ticket, broken silver people want to give some money for tea, we take it, but don't give it, Don't want it!" Sun Qihai immediately said to Zhang Hao.

"That's good. Tell them clearly that this is also a source of income. As an ordinary official, being able to have such an income is very high. Don't lose your life because you don't even have such an opportunity because of greed. Then it won't be worth it!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Sun Qihai.

"I know, I know, don't worry, my lord!" Sun Qihai said with a sigh of relief.

"Well, looking at taxes, you can't lose even a penny. This is the country's money, not personal money. Personal money, it's okay to lose a few taels, but for the affairs of the court, if you lose a penny, you may lose your head. Make it clear!" Zhang Hao said to Sun Qihai.

"Yes, my lord, don't worry, my lord!" Sun Qihai said to Zhang Hao again,

Then Zhang Hao went to the barracks, and now he is concurrently serving as the commander in chief, so it would be unreasonable not to go and have a look.
But at this moment, on the side of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War was stunned after receiving Yu Wanpeng's memorial. Zhang Hao had only been there for a few days, and a general soldier died. Zhang Hao was hammered to death,

Although the reason for hammering to death is very sufficient, but Zhang Hao can't be the one who kills. If you want to kill, you have to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment. .

"Hey, this Marquis Lu An, isn't he looking for someone to impeach him? Well, he should be killed, but he can't be killed!" Wang Bangrui said while touching his head,
Now he also knows something, Zhang Hao is helpful for him to be Minister of the Ministry of War, although Zhang Hao has never told himself, but Wang Bangrui is still grateful in his heart,
In addition, Wang Bangrui secretly applauded and admired Zhang Hao for killing those corrupt officials. Now that he saw Zhang Hao causing trouble again, he didn't know how to excuse Zhang Hao, because Zhang Hao was not qualified to kill people at all. If other civil servants find out, Zhang Hao will definitely be impeached, and they will not let go of such an opportunity.

"Hey!" Wang Bangrui took the memorial and looked at it for a while, not knowing what to do. Such a big matter can't be hidden, so he can only send it to the cabinet.

When Wang Bangrui arrived at the cabinet, he saw that the three cabinet ministers were all there, so he took the memorial and said: "The memorial of Yu Wanpeng, the general officer of Xuanhua!"

"Well, why, you are a minister of the Ministry of War, and you personally delivered the memorial, but there was a war?" Lu Ben hesitated for a moment, looked at Wang Bangrui and said, Yan Song and Xu Jie also looked at him.

"No, let's take a look!" Wang Bangrui shook his head and said, then sat down,

Seeing him like this, Lu Ben took the memorial and began to read it.I just read a few lines, so angry, Zhang Hao hammered a chief military officer to death, but the chief military officer did something even more extreme, and dared to smuggle pig iron to the Tatar side!
"It's unreasonable, it's unreasonable, how courageous!" Lu Ben shouted angrily, while Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at him.

"Look, that Liu Wu is too courageous, and he Zhang Hao is even more courageous, it's unreasonable!" Lu Ben said very angrily,

When Xu Jie heard it, Zhang Hao?My son-in-law, didn't he just go to Xuanhua?Did something big happen?So Xu Jie picked up the memorial, and Yan Song leaned over to watch it together. After the two of them finished watching, they were speechless. One braver met the more courageous one and was hammered to death.

"What should we do?" Xu Jie looked at Lu Ben and said.

"Send it to the alchemy room by yourself? Your son-in-law, you can intercede by yourself!" Lu Ben waved at Xu Jie.

"Here, Liu Wu is guilty first!" Xu Jie then looked at Lu Ben and said, Yan Song rolled his eyes, are you talking about Liu Wu's crime now?It's about Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao's crime of committing suicide as a minister!
