Chapter 543 The Reward of Jin Yiwei
May eleventh.

The public carriages that have just emerged recently do not operate normally like in the past. It takes a long time to wait for a carriage to come occasionally. It is said that all the public carriages in Beijing have been transferred to transport silver.

For the old Beijing, they are well-informed, especially since the new emperor came to the throne, he has experienced a lot of things, and his vision has long been high. They don't pay attention to ordinary things at all, but today's matter , still exploded the attention of Beijing City.

The official road from Beijing to Tongzhou was full of people.One after another, the carriages drove towards the capital in an endless stream, with a momentum that would never stop. From a distance, there was always no end in sight.

All the carriages for transporting things are all four-wheeled carriages.

The horse-drawn carriage transporting things from Tongzhou to Beijing never stops all year round, and everyone is no stranger to it. Originally, there was no need to make such a fuss, and there was no need for onlookers to watch, but the things being transported had to be watched by people. Everyone knows that each of these carriages carries silver, and each of these carriages passing by is filled with silver. Because the silver is too heavy, the carriages creak and creak. , is so shocking.

Zhengyangmen Street in Beijing City was already crowded with water, and all the people in Beijing City came to watch this rare scene of money transfer.Everyone wants to see how much 2000 million silver is.

"Oh my god, these cheeks are sore, and it's not over yet! It's been more than half an hour, I won't count, I won't count..." On Zhengyangmen Street, among a group of onlookers, Such complaints came out because there were too many carriages. After counting for more than half an hour, the carriages were still coming. The person who counted the carriages finally couldn't count.

"How much? How much?" The person on the side asked.There are too many carriages, one after another they drive over without stopping, the repetition makes people's eyes dizzy, if there is no difference between the carriages, everyone will doubt whether it is a circle, and the carriages come back to cheat Ours.

"It's more than 500..." The person who said that his cheeks were sore just now reminded him dejectedly.

"There are more than 500 cars? My dear, when will this be big! One car weighs more than a thousand catties, how much are these five hundred cars?" Some people looked at it with sour eyes. Some people have sore cheeks.

"At least it's 50 catties..." People in the market have to live, and they deal with numbers all the year round. Someone reported the weight of the money transported by the carriage.

"Be good..."

"... Be obedient..."

"Ah!..." Hearing that there is no one hundred thousand taels of silver, all the people present exclaimed. In a lifetime, not everyone can encounter such a thing of transporting tens of millions of taels of silver at a time. This time, it was an eye-opener.

"The emperor's work is extraordinary! The legs of the people we saw are weak... If you didn't see it with your own eyes, who would believe it?" A fatter man couldn't stand it anymore. He had already watched After watching the carriage transporting silver for almost an hour, his legs were weak, and the carriages were still coming one after another. He really couldn't stand it anymore and complained.

"Yes, you are old! Find a seat on it, spend half a dollar, and you can drink a cup of tea, which is much better than standing here." The person on the side suggested.

The weak-legged man looked at the place pointed by the person next to him, and saw that the side of the street and the places where people could sit were full of people. Their vision was much wider than that on the ground. There is also tea in the seat, which is really good, but the price is really a bit expensive. A seat costs at least half a silver dollar. The weak-legged person standing here is reluctant to part with half a silver dollar. He sighed helplessly , beat his legs, gritted his teeth and persisted, if he missed this rare scene in a hundred years, he would not have the capital to brag with others in the future, how could he miss it?
On both sides of Zhengyangmen Street, except for the upstairs balcony, the window sills are full of people, and the trees are also full of people. These free seats sometimes have to be scrambled to get them, which is hard to imagine. Such thin and soft branches can bear so many people, the tree looks as if it has suddenly grown a circle.

The carriages were still rattling along, and there were fewer and fewer people counting the carriages, and some of the people who were still counting were already foaming at the corners of their mouths.

"How much?" Someone asked loudly.

"... Seven hundred..." Someone immediately replied loudly.

"It's not over yet! When will this go?" The person who asked the question also asked impatiently. Others transported money, and the people they watched saw that they were too tired. This was not personal experience, and no one letter.

"...Not yet, there is no end in sight..." Someone replied loudly.

The crowd of onlookers finally became impatient, and there were too many carriages, and they could even see that they were exhausted after watching the bustle. Isn't this just asking for guilt?

"Hoo..." There was a strange sound, which made the onlookers immediately look up. This strange sound came from the top of their heads.

"Wow..." followed by the heart-piercing cry of the child.

"Catch it, catch it..."

"Hurry up and catch..."

The crowd burst into shouts.

It turned out that a child who was climbing on a tree to watch the excitement fell from the tree for some reason. If he fell, his limbs might be broken. Fortunately, his clothes were caught by a branch, which slowed down the fall. The momentum, the clothes were torn, and the person was hanging in the air, which was really thrilling.

The child cried out in fright and kept struggling. The clothes hooked on the tree couldn't bear the force, and it swayed a few times, completely torn. The child fell from mid-air. A strong man caught it, and a tree falling incident was avoided.

"Okay, I caught it..."

"it is good……"

"Great, I caught it..."

The crowd burst into applause.The big man who picked him up was a little embarrassed, and he was a little embarrassed to be praised in the public.

The child who was caught was frightened and cried loudly to vent his fear.

The child's mother then squeezed into the crowd, checked her child in horror, and was relieved to see that the child was fine and uninjured, and thanked the big man who saved him with red eyes.

The big man was even more embarrassed, and repeatedly declined.

Amid the well-meaning crowd watching and comforting, the mother asked her child again, how did she fall from the tree properly?
The child stopped crying, and replied a little shyly: "Lying down for too long, my hands are sore, and I don't know why it fell."

As soon as the child's words came out of his mouth, the onlookers burst into laughter. This somewhat thrilling and scary scene burst into laughter.Even the child's mother was amused by her child's remarks, and laughed shyly when the child saw the roar of laughter from the crowd, but the snot, tears and laughter were mixed together.

Everyone smiled and shook their heads. The money-carriers haven't cried out yet. You, who watch others carry money, can't afford to fall off the tree yourself.

A small accident soon passed, and the silver carriages still drove over one after another.The memory of the endless horse-drawn carriages and backaches from standing has always been deeply engraved in the hearts of these Beijingers.

……

Forbidden City.

Qianqing Palace.

A group of royal guards are being summoned by the emperor.Fang Hongchan is one of them.

Fang Hongzan went through untold hardships and finally completed his mission and came to return to the emperor. This mission made his hair gray a lot and made him look ten years older.

"Fang Hongzan, the commander of Chen Jinyiwei, kowtowed to His Majesty, and finally lived up to his mission today. He is here to return." Fang Hongzan returned to the capital after going out for half a year. Usually, give him a bone scrape.At the same time, there is also a thick booklet.Behind Fang Hongzan stood Jin Yiwei, who participated in the task of running the salt merchant and transporting money.

Wang Chengen took the booklet and handed it over to the emperor.

Yang Reform looked at Fang Hongzan, who had almost changed into a different person, and he felt a lot of emotion. Jin Yiwei did a lot to run the salt merchant, and Fang Hongzan also made a lot of effort. Judging from the appearance of this person in front of him , you can know how much pressure is in the deep vortex.After receiving the booklet, he flipped through it symbolically, glanced at the numbers, and then closed the booklet.

"Your family, please hurry up." Yang Reform said with emotion.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En." Fang Hongzan took the lead, and everyone stood up.

"All the ministers have worked hard to run the salt merchant this time." Yang Reform said gratifiedly that the money has finally arrived, and many things can be opened.

"Serving His Majesty is a minister's blessing, as it should be." Fang Hongzan took the lead in answering.

"Okay, I will keep all the credit for running the salt merchant and transporting the money this time,... Tingfeng." Yang Reform looked at the Jinyiwei in this place, and he didn't hesitate to change it for them. , Many of these people are familiar to Yang Reform, so there is no need to say too much.

Wang Cheng'en stood up immediately, opened the imperial decree, and began to offer rewards.

"...Fang Hongzan, the Commander of Jinyi's Pro-Army Commander, and the post-signing title of the Zuojun Commander's Mansion,..."

"...Xu Bengao of Jinyiwei Patent Office, Jinyi's pro-army commander Si Tongzhi,..."

Wang Chengen read out the rewards given to Jin Yiwei in a fit of anger, Fang Hongzan added the title of Dudu Qianshi, and the others were generally promoted to a higher level, others such as silver coins, silk and satin, etc. .

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Everyone said thank you.

"If you do something for me, I will not treat you badly. In addition to these rewards, I will give the personnel involved in this mission a floating first-level salary. Ordinary school captains and wrestlers get the salary of the small flag, and the small flag gets the salary of the general flag." , the general banner takes hundreds of households, and so on, it is an extra reward for me..." Yang Reform is also having a headache for Jin Yiwei's award, as a spy force, it is really not easy to award rewards, the official rank should not be too high, and money cannot be given. Too much, Jin Yiwei is a big money eater, if the money is too high, this appetite will grow bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to clean up in the future, but this time Jin Yiwei has done such a big thing, and he has to reward him, and the reward will be returned. It can't be too shabby, otherwise, not only will you lose face, but no one will follow you in the future.Therefore, Yang Reform made a compromise and raised them a first-level salary. This kind of salary does not require a lot of money at once, it is not eye-catching, and it is easy to flow. What's more, Yang Reform has long planned to increase wages and reform the wage system of the Ming Dynasty. This time, it can be regarded as a pilot.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" This time, everyone's voice seemed to be much brighter than before. It was the first time everyone heard about this reward, and it was unique. No wonder they hadn't heard how much money the emperor rewarded before. It turns out that this is the big head , This is not bad, even ordinary school captains and wrestlers can get the salary of Xiaoqi, which is much better than rewarding silver. Most of Jinyiwei are ordinary school captains and wrestlers, and they all have families Those who have a house, although Jinyiwei also has a lot of water, it is not so easy to support a family in the capital. Those days were really overdone, no matter what, Xiaoqi was finally an official, which was good for a long time, and guaranteed harvest in drought and flood.

"In addition, I have recently set up a steel factory in Zunhua, and I am planning to do some business, and I am preparing to make stocks. In this way, the Jinyiwei who participated in the operation this time, regardless of size, Fanlishi, and the captain will each send Ten shares of stock, fifty shares of the small banner, two hundred shares of the general banner, five hundred shares of one hundred households, and one thousand shares of one thousand households. Everyone will not lose, which is an extra reward from me..." After thinking about it, Yang Reform still felt that giving The money was inappropriate, so this kind of paper was sent instead. This kind of stock is not a dry stock or a registered one, but an unregistered one. Yang Reform also has to be careful that the interests of Jinyiwei and certain things are too deeply involved, but , and the benefits cannot be denied to them, and Yang Reform has thought of a lot of ideas in this circle.

"Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!" Everyone's reply, this time, is brighter than last time. It is true that the emperor will not lose everyone by doing things for the emperor. The reward in the previous imperial decree is indeed a bit dry Well, the main event is really in the back. As for stocks, there is no one in Beijing who doesn't like them. Nowadays, no matter what stocks, as long as they are made by the emperor, they must be worth money. This is everyone's unanimous opinion.

"In addition, this month, all Jinyiwei will receive double salaries, which is my reward to all Jinyiwei." Yang Reform said with a smile, he rewarded these Jinyiwei who are on errands, and he can't forget the other Jinyiwei. It is necessary to widen the gap between this reward, so that the gap between doing things and not doing things can be revealed, and in the future, those who do errands will be serious.For this reward, Yang Reform had to use his brains a lot, and in the end, he settled on such a three-pronged axe.Official position, stock plus salary.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" Fang Hongzan took the lead to thank you again.

"Okay, all the gentlemen are tired too, so I won't bother you to rest. The gentlemen have worked hard this time. After you come back, take a good rest for a while..." Seeing that the rewards were awarded, Yang Reform prepared to leave This reward conference.

"I obey!" The crowd thanked again and dispersed.

After entering the Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Yang Reform changed his calmness before, and asked Wang Chengen anxiously: "Brother, is the money all right?" Even though Yang Reform had confirmed it before, Yang Reform still endured I can't help asking again, this time the money is really too hot, Yang Reform is also a little restless.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have sent someone to check it. It is indeed all right. There are 300 large carts, and the carts are all real money." Wang Chengen reported according to the facts.

"Oh, that's good, have they all been transported to Liulizhai?" Yang Reform asked again, it's not that Yang Reform is not calm, it's just that this fact is too important, there are too many places that want money now, this matter, let's take it easy. Don't make a mistake, hold up the banknotes, but it depends on this, Yang Reform can count on the banknotes to treat one silver coin as two flowers.

"Go back to Your Majesty, it's all shipped there." Wang Chengen said with certainty.

"What about security?" Yang Reform asked again.

"Return to Your Majesty, everything will be guarded by the new army according to His Majesty's instructions." Wang Chengen quickly replied.

"Well, that's good." Yang Reform is also taking risks. Since he wants to show off his money, since he wants to put his money where he wants to see it, safety is an issue and he has to be concerned.

"...By the way, I called Fang Hongzan and Xu Bengao over. I still have something to ask..." Yang Reform reconfirmed many arrangements worriedly, and then arranged to summon Fang Hongzan and Xu Bengao.

……

Fang Hongzan and Xu Bengao had not been out of the Qianqing Palace for a long time, and they were called back again. Of these two people, one was the main manager of the Southern Jinyiwei in the early days, and the other was the main manager in the later period.

The two followed Wang Chengen into the warm pavilion and saluted again.

"Sit down!" Yang Huaihe smiled and motioned the two of them to sit down. The two people's seats were different, and the positions were different. Fang Hongzan's was in the front, and Xu Bengao's was in the back.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!" The two replied with some emotion. It was a rare honor to be bestowed with a seat, and it was usually rare to be granted a seat. They also wondered why the emperor called them here again.

"This time, thanks to the two of you, otherwise, running a salt merchant and transporting money would not have been so smooth." Yang Reform said with a smile. Yang Reform planned to pay more attention to these two people.

"It's His Majesty who planned the strategy. The ministers are just following His Majesty's orders and dare not take credit for it." Fang Hongzan and Xu Bengao stood up modestly.

"Sit, sit, you don't need to be too modest..." Yang Reform signaled them to sit down again, and the two of them sat down tremblingly again. Fang Hongchan, who was originally very calm, became cautious again.

"Hehe, you did a good job in this matter. I didn't misunderstand you." Yang Reform said with a smile, he was going to chat with these two people and cultivate their relationship. Sometimes, just relying on official positions and money People, the effect is not very good, but it is necessary to cultivate feelings.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment!" Fang Hongzan and Xu Bengao replied excitedly.

"Hehehe, I really want to listen to you carefully about the experience of your business this time, what kind of thrilling experiences you have, what are the interesting things, and what are the embarrassments..." Yang Reform took some asked curiously.

Seeing the emperor curiously asking this question, the two began to explain to the emperor in detail the experience of going to the south on business. Fang Hongzan's body, which had been scraped off by the pressure, gradually returned to its original appearance.
