Elegy of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 183 Gyeonggi Public Security War
"Everyone, what do you think the Jinwu Guard is now? In other words, what else do you pursue?"

Fang Chongyong held a thin wooden stick and pointed at the two large characters written on the white-painted wooden board:

Make money!

Many officers and civilian officials of Jinwu Guard lowered their heads and said nothing, as if they were thinking about something.

“What can this place offer you, face, glory or power?
Or can you just hold your nose and brag about your abilities in front of your relatives and friends? "

Fang Chongyong unceremoniously lifted the last fig leaf of Jinwu Guard!

In fact, they are nothing. If they don't have Brother Ji's holy family after they go out, they won't be able to achieve great success, let alone be able to honor their ancestors!
Today's Jinwu Guard is specially used to take in the unwanted waste from official families. It is such a hot chicken concentration camp!

The people here are not even as good as the young Wuling who galloped on Zhuque Street in Chang'an!
Those dandy boys at least know that they are favored, will have no worries about food and drink in the future, and have a bright future.And these people in Jinwuwei were kicked out by their families early to wait for qualifications.

It is equivalent to the officials' children's version of "poor children become rich early".

These people know very well what kind of life they will face in the future, and it can almost be seen at a glance.In short, it just keeps going downwards, and the worse it gets, the worse it gets.

"Okay, I think you guys should already understand.

Not to mention those digressions, this general believes that the top priority now is this. "

Fang Chongyong tapped the two words on the white paint board with a wooden stick and emphasized: "Now, we just want to make money, no, it should be called income generation."

"Let the brothers' wallets warm up. With the golden copper plates and soft and delicate silk, the brothers' waists will become stronger.

Cang Zhen actually knows etiquette, don’t you think so? "

Fang Chongyong looked around the crowd and asked.

One after another, the Jinwu Guard officers present had meaningful smiles on their faces.Seeing that the fire was almost done, Zhang Guangsheng beside Fang Chongyong raised his hands in salute and asked doubtfully: "So General Fang, how are we going to make money, oh no, how to generate income?"

Since they can no longer get glory from Jin Wuwei, and they can't hone their skills, then... it's natural for everyone to let go of their hands to make money and take care of their own small families, right?

"First of all, I am here to announce something."

Fang Chongyong stood up straight, raised his head and said to everyone:
"From now on, the number of Jinwu Guards patrolling the streets will be reduced by half. Others who are not patrolling the streets will all take off their armor, put on civilian clothes, and sneak into various cities and towns in Chang'an for secret inspections.

Externally, they are all called Jinwuwei.But internally, we are divided into Jinwu Guards on duty and Jinwu Guards visiting secretly.

For those on duty, everything is the same as it is now.The one who conducts secret visits is responsible for... generating income!
understand? "

Ok?
Can you still play like this?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it for a moment, they suddenly realized!
high!It is indeed high!
This Zhonglang General of Zuojinwu Guard is really a wonderful man.If you had not been immersed in the grassroots level for many years, you would never have thought of such a crooked trick!

When the Jinwu Guards are on duty, they do not wear armor and make secret visits, so are they still considered members of the Jinwu Guards?
The answer is: Not only are they, they even clearly wrote it into the doctrine!
But why doesn’t everyone do it now?

Because doing this is a "stupid" thing done by Jin Wuwei who is serious about working at the grassroots level. It is equivalent to lowering his status to the level of the petty officials in each workshop. This is another Why bother?

Do you really expect the people from Jinwu Guard to solve crimes and act like detectives?

With a monthly salary of 800 yuan, I can't save any money in a year. I have to ask my family for money. I don't even dare to get married for fear of not being able to support the family.

Is it necessary to fight to this extent?

Isn't the only joy of being a Jinwu Guard, or the source of self-confidence, is to wear that bright and dazzling but incompetent armor, patrolling the streets of Chang'an with arrogance and arrogance?
If the "uniforms" can't be worn, and if they can't get more money, then there will be very few of the Jinwu Guards left long ago!
"Wearing the armor of Jinwu Guard is the face of the court, and it cannot be full of the smell of copper. Therefore, as long as you are patrolling the streets in armor, you must not touch money. At this time, no one is allowed to accept money."

Fang Chongyong said to everyone with a solemn expression.

"But when you are not wearing armor and wearing civilian clothes, you are the law enforcers of Chang'an. As long as you don't break the law, there are no taboos.

From now on, Zuojinwu Guard will be in the dark and light, and the shifts will change every other day.Street patrols and undercover investigations can not only support each other, but also serve as mutual aids to find out things that are difficult to find out on a daily basis.

Think about it, everyone, if you encounter a thief who steals something, how can the Jinwu guards still run while wearing such heavy armor?So, you still need this. "

Fang Chongyong took out a pottery whistle commonly used by the Hu people in Shazhou, waved it in front of everyone and said: "From now on, Zuo Jinwu Guards will have one person, and they will blow the whistle when trouble occurs. The personnel of the adjacent Jinwu Guards must rush to support! "

That's it!

All the Jinwu Guard officers bowed in admiration upon seeing this. It seemed that this young General Fang was indeed not a simple man.

"General, specifically, how do you get money?"

A Jinwu Wei Si Ge who looked thin and tender asked.

"Hey, I called you here today to brainstorm and come up with a charter.
How to make money, how much money to make, how to operate without being held accountable by the central government, how to avoid being impeached by the people in Yushitai, and how to make the saint look good.

This general has some immature ideas, so I just want to talk about them with you first. "

Fang Chongyong said with a smile.

Hearing the sound of the piano and knowing its elegant meaning, all the Jinwu Guard officers present raised their hands and saluted: "I obey the general's orders!"

"Okay, I will tell you now how to do these things."

Fang Chongyong laughed, feeling extremely proud.

The Jinwu Guards are the forbidden army of the imperial court, and they are not the private army of someone else. So, is it necessary for him to train a strong army for Brother Ji that can fight, dare to fight, is brave and fearless, and can be as strong as ten?

There is no need at all!

Why, Fang Chongyong himself is just a Qiu Ba who serves as a soldier and feeds himself!I clock in at work every day and go home after get off work, that’s it.

When he was in Shazhou, Fang Chongyong praised the Doulu Army's logistics to the extreme, and often led troops to maintain trade routes. He provided almost anything the Doulu Army wanted.

Are you doing this to train the army for the Tang Dynasty and to devote yourself to the Tang Dynasty until your death?

How is that possible!Of course not!

The reason why Fang Chongyong is so diligent in military affairs is not because Tubo is so close. If you don't pay attention, Shazhou will be flattened by the Tubo people!

He worked hard to train the army and ensure logistics, just because he was afraid of death!There are powerful enemies all around. Without a strong army by his side, Fang Yanei would not be able to sleep well at night.

Now, as the Zhonglang General of Zuo Jinwu Guard, Fang Chongyong is still a "temporary worker" whose term is almost certain to be only one month. His task is to help Brother Ji manage the Jinwu Guard, who can't fight and don't know how to do things. Chicken?
of course not!At least not the main purpose!
Fang Chongyong thought very clearly that his mission was to get through this one-month term without causing any trouble, without being crushed in the fierce battle between the left and right prime ministers, and without being plotted by the forces of the left prime minister!

Simple and clear!
The purpose determines the means. In Fang Chongyong's eyes, this team with low morale and the Jinwu Guard system that is riddled with holes are simply the best targets.

It's easier to deal with than Jingzhao Yin Yamen!

Of course he has to save himself!If he doesn't save himself, it's only a matter of time before he is plotted by Zhang Shougui's people.

The first step in self-rescue is to improve the morale of the team and let everyone go to work. Well, when they are on duty, they will be full of energy and hope.

Besides making money, is there any other way to unite Zuo Jinwuwei's people as quickly as possible?
No more.

Of course, when you get the money, you have to give half of it to Brother Ji. This is the prerequisite for the success of the strategy.

Fang Chongyong's ideas are very simple, direct, and rough, with a rough atmosphere of Qiuba in Hexi and a strong business atmosphere in Shazhou.Hexi Qiuba = lawless in doing things; Dunhuang merchants = anything that doesn't work can be done. The monster formed by the combination of these two, coupled with the brainstorming and extensive knowledge of the previous life, is Fang Yanei's daily thinking in solving problems.

Like a thick black evil wind, it started from Jinwuwei Yamen and blew through the streets and alleys of Chang'an.

……

"Hahahahahaha!"

Several young people in gorgeous clothes were laughing and riding horses on the main road of Chang'an Zhuque Street, stirring up waves of dust and making passers-by cough and frown. .

But they dare not speak out.

Anyone who can ride a horse will not be short of money; anyone who dares to ride a horse on the streets of Chang'an will not be short of status.He is rich and has status. If you can avoid messing with such a person, it is best not to mess with him!
"Woooooooooooooo!"

A sharp whistle sounded, and a team of ten Jinwu guards appeared in front of these people. They lined up and blocked the way of these people.

"Unlucky!"

The person leading the charge was none other than Wang Xian's younger brother, Wang Wen.He had to rein in his mount, dismount, and negotiate with the Jinwu guards in front of him.

If you want to ride a horse on Chang'an Avenue, you must have the status of an official.

In the 11th year of Zhenguan (637), Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, issued the "Tang Law·Ritual Order", one of which reads: "Whenever you walk in the streets, avoid the humble and the noble, the young and the old, the light and the important, go and avoid the coming." .Later, detailed regulations were made on what kind of bureaucrats could ride horses.

This is one of the privileges of being a bureaucracy.The children of eunuchs, and even women, can also ride horses, but this standard is "people do not promote officials and do not investigate", so just turn a blind eye.

Because the standard of "so and so in my family" is too broad. Is it within three generations or less than five generations?

Servants at home do not count, distant relatives do not count, and cousins ​​in the wife's family do not count.The laws of the Tang Dynasty could not be defined in such detail.

So the dignitaries and bureaucrats are sure they can ride horses, but whether their family members can ride horses is actually a gray area.The government is too lazy to take care of similar things, unless it is to deliberately harass people!
However, even if you can ride a horse, you cannot gallop or ride the horse casually. That is the prerogative of the messenger.Or this can only be done if it is a "stage horse" that is specially used to deliver "living animals" to the palace.

If you are caught riding a horse and causing trouble, you will be severely punished!
Otherwise, if anyone with a slight status in the family dared to ride a horse and gallop on the street, then in the prosperous Tang Dynasty when there were no detailed road traffic rules, Brother Ji would have been in a car accident!

However, having said that, everyone understands the laws of the feudal era.

When someone implements it, the law is the law.If no one implements it, then there is nothing!

Wuling young people like Wang Welding don't take the country's laws seriously. As long as the slap doesn't hit them, it doesn't exist.

However, looking at today's posture, Wang Welding also felt a little guilty.Just because Jinwuwei doesn't care about it on weekdays doesn't mean they can't.When people come around, they obviously won't find trouble.

"Several officials, let's take it to a bar."

Wang Weld took out a golden bean and handed it to the leader Zhang Guangsheng.

"Everyone saw it, he was bribing someone.

Riding a horse on Chang'an Avenue, flogging fifty!Regarding the bribery, take it back to the Jinwu Guard Yamen and investigate it slowly!
Take it!

And several of them won it together! "

The so-called "fifty flogging" means that in the downtown area of ​​Chang'an, a person is tied up and whipped fifty times with a bamboo board or rattan stick, on the back or thighs and buttocks.

You have to take off your clothes and beat me!
If the execution was carried out here, if nothing else, Wang Xian and the others would have to die on the spot with their backs and buttocks bare, and they would not even dare to attend noble banquets in the future.

Hearing what Zhang Guangsheng said, Wang Welding breathed a sigh of relief.Just go back to the Yamen. Going back to the Yamen at least means there is hope for a better future.

"Good! Well done!"

There was an onlooker on the street who didn't think it was a big deal and cheered loudly to the Jinwu guards.

Zhang Guangsheng recalled in his mind the scene when Fang Chongyong lectured.

A Jinwuwei official asked: "There are many powerful people in Chang'an, and they are violating the law on the streets. Do we have to picket them? Can we still make money from them?"

Fang Chongyong immediately cursed:

"Do these powerful people give you money? They don't, right?
Since they don't give it and still like to do illegal things, why can't you go to them to get the money?

Remember, Chang'an is the Chang'an of saints, not the Chang'an of the powerful.

As a saint's eagle dog, it's okay to be cruel to those powerful people.If something happens, I will take it upon myself and let them come to trouble me.

In Chang'an, except for saints, there is no one who cannot enforce the law with Jinwu Guard! "

Thinking of this, Zhang Guangsheng couldn't help but sneer.

I hope all the Wuling young people in front of me will make a fuss. The bigger the fuss, the better!In this way, it would be difficult for Jinwuwei not to become famous.

Fang Chongyong just likes to make matters more serious. It would be better if even the Yushitai came to impeach him!That way he would be absolutely safe!

Because half of these fines are "generated income" by law enforcement officers themselves, and half are sent to Jigoneku.

Let's see who will cry to death after the fuss gets bigger!
"Don't be so shameless! I'm going to ride my horse to Chang'an today, what do you dare to do?"

Wang Welding cursed loudly at Zhang Guangsheng.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the Jinwu guards who were enforcing the law on the side heard it. Instead of being angry, their eyes lit up!
A soldier came close to Zhang Guangsheng's ear and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Sige, how much does it cost to atone for your crime by resisting law enforcement? I haven't read much. I fell asleep when I talked about it last time and didn't understand."

"This number."

Zhang Guangsheng calmly stretched out his hand and made a "five" gesture.

"Five strings?"

"No, let's charge him with treason. We'll buy his leg for fifty guan, and his life for [-] guan.

As long as he dares to run away, he is a thief who is going to Zhongnan Mountain to assassinate the saint. After being discovered by us, he fled in fear of crime. "

Zhang Guangsheng chuckled.

Upon hearing this, the Jinwu guard was immediately overjoyed and quickly whispered a few words to several of his colleagues.They all stared at Wang Welding with ill intentions, and even took the initiative to take a step back, signaling to Wang Welding that he was free to run away.

"X...X will go back to the Yamen with you."

Wang Weld vaguely heard the word "rebellion" and was frightened all over.

He and his brother Wang Fei are not good people themselves. They will naturally think about others with the most vicious thoughts. When they think of some frame-up drama, they suddenly feel that something is wrong!

"Go back to the Yamen with a certain person, the horses will be confiscated!"

As soon as they heard that the other party had relented, Zhang Guangsheng's Jinwu guards suddenly lost their energy.
