Delong

Chapter 127 Going to the Forest (6)

It has been ten days since the princes of Nanya were forced to express their views, and the noise in Wenroufang is still there.

The Qing Emperor in the square is full of pilgrims, and then scattered into various songs.The guests of the next song saved a month’s worth of money just to let off steam for one night. ; In the lobby of the Duzhi in the previous song, there were endless laughter and laughter. Often, the price of drinks for one night is half a month’s selling money for the entire restaurant in the next song, or the highest price in half a lifetime of a nobleman in the middle song...but The number of places is limited, and only one person can enter after one retreat.

Bai Yousi didn't win the bet, so naturally he had to pay for the treat. Xiaolin Duzhi and Dalin Duzhi were not eliminated by the market, and they happened to book An'er's family's place and invited the two to play together. They came once in the last ten days, and came five days ago One day, today came again, and the official personnel were replenished to more than 150 people. In fact, including logistics and clerks, it may take [-] Fulongwei to entertain them completely.

Just this, in fact, is just a formality, it is difficult to recognize the whole person.

And it's not just a matter of the large number of people. Fulongwei is now clearly divided into four or five yuan... The independent clerks and school clerks in the White Tower are one piece, but the logistics system that belongs to the Beiya is actually one piece. As for the combatants, of course, the people who followed Bai Yousi and the Jing'an Taichung Town Fusi who were later recruited by way of recruitment were also one, the old team left by Sima Zheng was still the same, and the place dispatched by the Ministry of War and the army's replacements were another.

In this regard, Zhang Xing had already suggested, and Bai Yousi had already started to make adjustments in personnel matters... For example, Qian Tang was promoted to the black ribbon, but it was not the deputy general inspector, but the general of Fulong Guard; Then Sima Zheng's old team also gave face, looking for someone with decent cultivation, qualifications, and character, that is, the cold face who protected Zhang Xing last time, and was promoted to the Black Ribbon team... three black ribbons, The two are each in charge of an action team, and Zhang Sanlang is in charge of logistics and intelligence, which is considered appropriate.

In addition, people like Qin Bao are also planning to give Yinshou, and you have to reciprocate if they come with you. The people in the Ministry of War and the old people of Fulongwei are also planning to choose a few white ribbons to appease people's hearts.The so-called promotion and promotion should take care of the hills and take care of the hills. When meeting talented people, you should break the rules and break the rules, and nepotism should not be less.

All kinds of personnel arrangements vary, anyway, Gao Dugong of Beiya is very busy, so he just took the opportunity to secure a foothold in Xiyuan Yangliu Forest.

When political commitments are made clear and implemented, people's hearts will naturally be safe. This is the most important thing.

When Gao Dugong came back to his senses, even if he wanted to speak, he had to weigh it.

"Brother Ding, you have been in Beiya for a long time, and you are about to ask based on your qualifications. Now that the high governor is in power, what is this person's temperament, ability, and handling?" In the past, everyone was drinking and eating meat in twos and threes, chatting nonsense, and in the corner, Zhang Xing was also pushing glasses and changing glasses, but he was talking to Ding Quan, the general of the Jinwu Guard brought by Shun Quzi.

Cannibalism has a short mouth, and Ding Quan also knows what he wants when he is invited. When he is so sensitive, he actually doesn't want to come, but he does have a little bit of fear of this desperate Saburo, especially These days, after he specifically inquired about the other party's deeds, he felt even more guilty.

So, dare not not come.

But now, once the other party asked, he immediately became extremely careful: "Actually... since the high governor can be the great governor in charge of the Beiya, he must have a decent face, and his behavior is shrewd and capable enough, and the holy family That's enough."

It's just nonsense.

But Zhang Xing was not angry, he just continued to ask: "And then?"

"Then..." Ding Quan smiled wryly while holding his wine glass. "Then, Duke Duchess was a little more careful when he acted, forbidding others to have different opinions, and it is said that he has a special grudge against those who look down on him."

It can be regarded as a common problem of eunuchs, and it is basically ignored.

"What is Gao Dugong's background?" Zhang Xing was too lazy to let the other party perfunctory. "Is there a family or relatives who climbed outside?"

"I don't have a high family background, and I don't have such relatives."

"Any anecdote? Just being famous?"

"There are actually two of them." Ding Quan was slightly refreshed. "Gao Dugong has changed his name, and he is very sensitive to the old name... He used to be called Gao Changjiang, but now he is called Gao Jiang... Everyone in Beiya knows that if someone mentions the old name, he will be punished. Only Niu Dugong He is a master of cultivation, and he is on the list of heaven, so he is often called at will."

Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment: "What is this? Gao Changjiang doesn't sound bad, does it?"

"It's really nothing unpleasant, but Duke Gao cares about this." Ding Quan said helplessly. "It is said that there is a brother named Gao Dahe, who also changed his name to Gao He. It sounds more elegant and concise... and no one is allowed to call him Gao Erlang or something, because the family is a single household, and there are only two brothers."

Zhang Xing nodded, which shows that this person is very concerned about the past experience of not making a fortune, and his self-esteem is a little sensitive.

"There's another thing that's also famous." Ding Quan drank his drink, pretending to be serious. "It is said that before Gao Dugong made his fortune, once the sage took the queen and His Royal Highness the eldest princess to watch the war dance show in Beihuang in Xijing. His Majesty said something very interesting casually. Look here...Guess Zhang Fuchangjian what happened?"

"He took the initiative to repair the place to watch the theater in Dongdu? Have you arranged the troupe?" Zhang Xing thought for a while.

"No." Ding Quan finally laughed. "Gao Dugong was already considered a small boss at that time. He was in charge of a prison with hundreds of people, but he went to learn the war dance in person. In the winter, he was bare-armed and carried the big fan knife used by the Northern Emperor. It was boring. I have been studying the acoustics for several months, but after His Majesty arrived in Dongdu, he never saw a war dance again."

Zhang Xing also laughed: "Is there no other interesting story?"

"When it comes to interesting deeds, Duke Ma is as numerous as a cow's hair. It's just that he has been with the saint for too long and his position is stable." Ding Quan shook his head, put the cup on the table, and then covered the mouth of the cup with his hand. "But Gao Dugong, he really rarely talks about anything else. In terms of wine, sex and money, Gao Dugong is simply a role model for Beiya. His brothers don't cause trouble, but they are a little less tolerant."

Zhang Xing nodded again, but he stopped trying to force the trickster, and instead went to find someone else to drink.

However, in just a few words, Zhang Sanlang had a new understanding of the high governor. He was a typical person from a humble background who wanted to climb up, and his status as a eunuch also made him recognize Once the saint is approved, everything else is ignored.

In other words, a value cognition system based on the emperor's will as the only criterion has been formed.

But unexpectedly, Zhang Xing actually couldn't dislike this person who was theoretically Fu Longwei's main business opponent and who had just caused a big trouble... because how should I put it, this is a very typical eunuch, typical and Simple.

In fact, there are also the princes of Nanya who are similar.

These days, the whole court, inside and outside of the capital, seemed to be calm, as if the vote ten years ago was just a simple discussion of the matter, but in fact, there was already an undercurrent.

To put it bluntly, there are some things that can't stop Yoyo at all.

From the court to the people, public opinion's disappointment with the chief executives has almost become a kind of private publicity. Everyone dare not criticize the saints, and it is hard to say publicly that the big gold pillar should not be built, but they can privately He made up stories in different ways to mock those ministers.In the halls of Ruanroufang, the fishing spots of the government office, and the homes of the officials, I dare not say that everyone is as unscrupulous as Zhang Liding, but basically there are jokes flying all over the sky.

What is Niu Gong who is lenient and taboo, when he was young, he drove by himself, and his younger brother didn't even have a horse. His angry younger brother shot the horse he was driving to death, but he took the opportunity to make a name for himself, saying that he was generous and did not pursue responsibility, and at the same time He hinted that his younger brother's behavior was rebellious and ruined his official career.

What is it that the British public Bai Hengqiu was romantic in his early years, and had countless illegitimate children, all of whom were so fickle that even his own brother couldn't get used to it. When worshiping his ancestors, he was only given a cold shoulder... a real cold shoulder, and everyone else hot.

What else is Sima Xianggong boasting of being clean and honest, but the eight sons, the so-called Sima Bada, are all bastards who bully men and women. The eldest son Sima Huada was nicknamed the hungry ghost in the road back then. That is to say, Sima Zhengcheng, and the rest are all descendants of the hungry ghosts in Luzhong.

As for the prudence and self-protection jokes of these Zaizhi when the Great Wei replaced the previous dynasty, and several major cases after the sage ascended the throne, let alone.

There is no need to edit.

Therefore, even the direct subordinates and close friends of these ministers could not refute it, so they could only push it on the North Yamen Gao Dugong, saying that they were treacherous eunuchs who misused the country.

And this is also the reason why Zhang Xing asked about Gao Dugong's deeds, but Ding Quan was obviously afraid of Zhang Xing but did not dare to speak more - because Captain Ding only thought that Zhang Xing was the father and daughter of Bai Hengqiu, so he kept a close eye on Gao Dugong. Duke Du, but Beiya is Jin Wuwei's own father and current supervisor, how dare he meddle?
However, Captain Ding really misunderstood.

Zhang Xing didn't have much personal feelings not only for Gao Dugong, but also for the several ministers of Nanya.

The reason couldn't be simpler, put yourself in the shoes, you are in the position of Nanya, what can you do?
Is Wen Jian dead?

The point is that such a master, even if you were killed head-on, he would not blink an eyelid, instead he would think that you were tarnishing his reputation, so he would still kill your whole family and not allow you to have a good burial.

There is also Gao Dugong, who is indeed a bad bastard, but...he is a typical eunuch, the kind who is anxious for a saint. He made it clear from the beginning that he wanted to be His Majesty's dog People have extra expectations for him?

It was with such an indifferent attitude that Zhang Xing looked at the current major event that involved all the eyes of the court.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhang Xing, who finally noticed that his No. 11 main channel was faintly loose, got up early again in the yard of An Er's mother's house, but immediately devoted himself to morning exercises, preparing to work hard in the past few days and try his best in the summer. Complete the Chongmai before the day arrives and enter the final stage of the Twelve Zhengmai.

It's too easy to hold your head up in Fulongwei.

But this time, apart from Qin Bao, Mr. Zhou and Wang Zhen, who was looking for trouble last time, accompanied him in his morning exercises.The so-called no acquaintance without scolding, as a rare old familiar face, Wang Zhen, who behaves very badly, has become a rare celebrity in Fulongwei, and he can be said to have both sides.

It was also because of Wang Zhen's existence that when Zhang Xing saw the young servant passing by the corridor, he couldn't help thinking of the past, but he stopped him and asked:

"How much did you spend for these three times?"

"Report to Zhang Changjian." The servant was still well-trained and answered properly. "The three games are guaranteed at [-] guan, and together they are exactly [-] guan...I haven't got everything ready yet, do you want to bring some tea?"

Rao Qin Bao and Wang Zhen already knew the price, but after the other party told the total, they still lost their composure for a while.

Zhou Xingfan, on the other hand, was not moved by it at all.

Zhang Xing also just asked, and then he didn't bother to think about it, but when he turned around, he remembered that there was too much gold and silver in the house. Sometimes the fish and shrimps teased it under the fish pond, and it turned out to be reflective, so he turned back and asked: "Have you met all the money three times?"

The young man was stunned and immediately laughed: "I haven't paid it yet, such as the British government and other rich and powerful families, they usually come together at the end of the month...Moreover, it's cheaper for them to pay."

Zhang Xing knew that the other party had good intentions, and came to persuade him not to waste more money. The rich and powerful families were not cheap, but he still couldn't help being curious: "Why do they make money cheaper? Can there be a discount?"

"That's not true." The boy replied earnestly. "To be honest with Zhang Changjian, the main reason is that rich and powerful households use more gold and silver in banknotes. Doesn't this mean that the big gold pillar will definitely come down, and the price of gold and silver will rise again? And whether we set the price or the cost of buying food and drinks, we still need to pay according to the price. Copper coins are worth a lot.”

Zhang Xing suddenly realized: "How much has it increased?"

The boy thought about it for a while, and immediately gave the answer: "Ten days ago, [-] guan was exchanged for ten taels of silver; in the session five days ago, [-] guan was exchanged for more than [-] taels of silver; now it is more than [-] guan. It's ten taels of silver."

Rao Zhang Xing was already mentally prepared, and the Eastern Capital City had actually experienced several skyrocketing silver prices in the previous year, but he still couldn't help being stunned, feeling that Gao Dugong, who was not very annoying last night, became annoying stand up.

Let’s not gossip, because Fulongwei is used in a special way, so it is not as tired as the Jing’antai Jinyi patrol group. In theory, it needs to be practiced every five days, mainly to practice the formation of true energy, etc., just a few days ago Not yet full, so no activation.

This afternoon is the first serious parade.

Zhang Xing, who was already very concerned about this matter, had no reason to fish for it. After exercising in the morning, he ate breakfast and left early like everyone else to prepare for the afternoon practice of armor formation.

"correct."

With Qin Bao's assistance, Zhang Xing, who was wearing light armor, suddenly took the initiative to ask Yueniang, who was watching the fun, a topic that Yueniang usually only talked about on her own initiative. "Did the price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and tea go up recently?"

"No." Yueniang obviously felt a little strange. "Why do you ask about this?"

"Why didn't it go up?" Zhang Xing asked Qin Bao in turn. "We're going to build a big golden pillar, why didn't it go up? Didn't it go up when we built Mingtang?"

"Because I don't need many soldiers." Qin Bao, who lowered his head to help Zhang Xingshujia, said one thing.

Zhang Xing suddenly realized - as long as there are not many slaves, there will be no impact on the total population of the Eastern Capital. In that case, the core factor that determines whether the price of rice will increase is actually the traffic from Luokou warehouse to the workshop. As for oil and salt Soy sauce and vinegar tea basically follow the price of rice.

However, the price of firewood has always fluctuated more, but now there is no obvious direct impact.

After putting on the armor, Zhang Xing equipped with a scimitar, five people and six people rode yellow pumas, and set off together with Qin Bao, who was riding a spotted leopard beast. They left the west gate of Chengfufang, crossed the old middle bridge, and walked along Luoshui all the way to To the west, cross the Ziwei Palace, exit the west gate of the eastern capital, and then turn back through Luoshui to arrive at the independent south gate of Xiyuan, along which you can easily reach the willow forest.

In the second half of March, the willow forest became greener and more pleasant. It was rare for Fulongwei to gather together. When seeing Zhang Fuchangjian and Qin Erlang who was about to hang his ribbon, everyone who had had a few drinks together said hello.

As a matter of course, Zhang Xing heard the latest court gossip.

"Your Majesty dislikes Nan Ya for delaying time, and issued a decree." Bai Yousi said calmly. "The Ministry of Industry handed over the project of the Tongtian Pagoda to the Beiya, preparing to enlist another [-] official servants and official slaves to start the construction of the Great Golden Pillar..."

Zhang Xing heard that something was wrong, so he immediately came to ask: "Didn't Beiya always say that it would prepare a big golden pillar for the saint? Why did you change it to build a pagoda?"

"Because someone else took the initiative to undertake this project." Bai Yousi didn't seem to know how to express his position, he wanted to laugh but stopped. "Yesterday rested, and today is late today, Zhang Han, the servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, suddenly took the opportunity to write a letter, asking the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take part in the preparation of this matter, and only let the Ministry of Industry supervise it... Shengyan Dayue, said that he knows how to protect himself Share your worries and promote him to Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the spot!"

Zhang Xing was dumbfounded and paused for a while, but finally smiled wryly: "Another Zhang Shangshu!"

"Yes, another Zhang Shangshu." Bai Yousi sighed quietly. "This time, there is no assassination by Duke Ding's old department... There are so many of you with the surname Zhang!"

"There are indeed a lot of people with the surname Zhang." Zhang Xing sighed, and then inexplicably felt that the man Gao Dugong seemed to be less annoying.

Because, the most annoying kind of person came.

PS: good night everyone
