Chapter 188: I wish to be a soldier and a slave

After Liu Fangrui and the Su sisters were sent to Jinan Prefecture, when the tension came over, Jiang Feng sent someone to take back the girls, but the people sent several times were not even in. At the beginning, Jiang Feng was very happy and thought that he had never had anything to get along well with Liu Shunhua, and he even stole someone else's daughter, so he could give him some expression. Since that's the case, just go a few more times.

But this time it was the tenth time, and he still couldn't even enter the gate. Jiang Feng was the one who could swallow this breath. After sending the servants back, he suddenly became furious.

After Liu Shier was pushed into the door by the people behind, Jiang Feng's servants were naturally taken over. Jiang Feng's servants were all Tiedian's family members, and they came to serve in shifts. This was a safe use, and there was some communication intention in it. Naturally, I couldn't tell you about this kind of personal matter. Jiang Feng squeezed a smile on his face and said to Liu Shier:

"Mr. Liu, the rewards and punishments of our Thousand Households have been decided. Do you see if there is anything that needs to be supplemented by these rules?"

Liu Shier nodded there. Jiang Feng's military rules and regulations would not bring losses to the soldiers, and he also shared the merits according to beheading after the war. This also avoided the situation of the ancient battlefield where the formation was dispersed due to the snatch of the heads and the result was a collapse in the formation and defeat.

However, Liu Shier was talking about the same topic this time. When Jiang Feng mentioned that he was slightly bowing on the wooden chair, his relationship with Jiang Feng is similar to the relationship between generals and staff. They treat each other with the courtesy of the host and the guest. Liu Shier said:

"Mr. Jiang's public aspiration for the country is indeed very impressed. I had read the military rules in the morning. Is this a statement written and posted it in the fort?"

When Jiang Feng heard Liu Shier's words, he couldn't help frowning and asked in confusion:

"We want to make the soldiers work hard when fighting. Each person costs one tael of silver and two tannes of rice. This expense is not small. For the country and the country's work, I will have to pay the court!"

Liu Shier was stunned by this. He was a little confused by Jiang Feng and asked slowly:

"What sir means is that you want to have a private army that can fight?"

"Of course, spending my money is to work hard for me."

Although the conversation between the two sides was the default reason for everyone, it was a bit too naked when it came to the table. In other words, whether there was a court or a great emperor in his eyes. Liu Shier, who had always been calm and calm, felt a little sweat on his forehead. The cool temperature on the mountain was obviously not due to the weather. He was completely confused by Jiang Feng's lack of common sense. However, when he remembered the words that his uncle Zhao Xiucai said to him, he said that Jiang Feng understood the big things, but inexplicably lacked common sense in some small things.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but try to ask:

"Since you think so, why not create a list of servants? The two thousand strong men in the New Guard are all slaves to the adults..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng asked in confusion:

"These people at the foot of the mountain are not good at being good soldiers, who would be a slave?"

It is indeed a lack of common sense. Liu Shier raised his head and sighed, patted his forehead gently with his hand, and said with a wry smile:

"One tael of silver, two tanks of rice, the world is in the future. If it weren't for their own slaves, no one would have spent so much money to support them. If those strong slaves were not adults, who would have fought for their own masters? If the slaves died, they would have to be given pensions, and if they were disabled, they would have to be given old age."

This series of questions immediately stunned Jiang Feng. He really didn't know such rules.

After the Ming Dynasty's civil engineering change, the generals relied on the main force of the battle and gradually became their own personal soldiers and servants. They usually used the military pay of normal soldiers to support these personal soldiers. Although these personal soldiers were completely the personal belongings of the general, birth, old age, sickness and death were not in their own hands.

Jiang Feng, who has traveled through time, may not be able to accept it. In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, the treatment of domestic slaves was like the big pot of Chinese state-owned enterprises in the 1960s and 1970s. People were worried about birth, old age, sickness and death. It was much more comfortable than being a big soldier who couldn't even eat enough to eat.

And since they are the generals' private soldiers, they will be prosperous and lose. On the battlefield, although the generals are reluctant to send their personal soldiers to the battlefield, as long as these personal soldiers come on, they will often charge forward and have absolutely strong combat power. Of course, generally, soldiers who eat and drink well and have no worries. They practice all day long and are not afraid of death are extremely powerful when they arrive on the battlefield.

The next explanation made Jiang Feng feel a little puzzled. Liu Shier then wanted to sigh to the sky, thinking that he had always praised himself as a think tank, but he did not expect to follow this Lord Jiang to start common sense enlightenment. After hearing this, Jiang Feng patted each other with excited hands and said:

"Wait a minute, I will let the Tidings go down and post a notice, and they will choose for their own slaves and soldiers!"

Liu Shier let out a long sigh. The explanation just now felt a little physically and mentally exhausted, and his mind was also a little confused. He wanted to say goodbye and come back next day, but before he could say goodbye, Jiang Feng over there shook for a while and said:

"Mr. Liu is also his family now, and I don't hide it from you. After my wife was sent back to her parents' home, his damn father actually refused to let anyone go..."

Today I smiled bitterly more than before. Liu Shier thought helplessly, but since it was his boss who asked about it, his mind also turned rapidly, and the information that Zhao Xiucai told him appeared in his mind one by one.

The next day, Tieding went to the foot of the mountain to read the document loudly. As a modern person, Jiang Feng had more than 100 Tiedings in his hands as a slave, which was not considered a hindrance in his heart, because in the stories of various households that he had seen since childhood, hundreds of landlords and bullies appeared frequently.

However, it is necessary to turn all the new recruits recruited by the Tianjin garrison at the foot of the mountain and the more than 700 male men who defected to Weishan Island into their own home slaves. These are slaves of more than 2,000 people. No matter what, it is a bit awkward. Moreover, when Tiedin was recovered, it was really used. Will it be so easy for these people below to be so?

The result was unexpected to Jiang Feng. Not only were all the recruits at the foot of the mountain joining, but even the former Qianhu Office's officers took the initiative to be the head of the clerk. This was because the scope had been demarcated, so they did not join successfully. Now, there are only four or five hundred old and weak soldiers in the Qianhu Office in Yantai. As for Jiang Feng, who was about to take office in the Left Guard of Dengzhou, he had no soldiers or generals under his command, but had two thousand servants.

The contract documents are easy to handle. Just take them directly into the yamen to go through the procedures. Everything is neat and no one dares to say anything.

Lu Bing's Mansion, the commander of the Jinyiwei of the capital, is now the mansion of the most popular figures in the capital. Although the guests who visit outside the door may not be as many as Liu Jin's arrogance at the time, they are lined up in long queues. However, you should do this as soon as possible.

When Lu Bing was not so powerful, Jiang Feng was so powerful that he had to do something, so he had to pay attention to coming first and then coming. Huifeng Tower now has a monthly investment of several thousand taels of silver. Although it is half of Jiang Feng and Lu Bing, of course Lu Bing would not be greedy for this amount of money.

However, the head of Jiang Feng, who sent Jiang Feng in Huifenglou, sent these silver respectfully every month. Moreover, Jiang Feng always sent one thousand taels of regular orders for the monthly sea trade in Shandong and attached a letter of respectful greetings. Speaking of which, Lu Bing's family is rich now and does not lack this amount of money. However, the trick to give gifts to his leader is not to give it, but to let him know in terms of the gift that the person who gave the gift respects him and takes him to heart. This is success, which is the so-called gifts are light and affectionate.

It is precisely because Jiang Feng did so appropriately that his letters and greetings are now considered to be more important in Lu Bing's mansion. That is to say, they are always dismantled by Lu Bing's personal letter manager. If there is any important news, it will be delivered to Lu Bing quickly.

Jiang Feng has been away from Beijing for so long, and his monthly letters are greetings or saying some trivial matters, which are very programmatic, so the personal bookkeepers generally do not convey them, but this time the letter is different.

In recent years, the court has gradually become the confidants of Emperor Jiajing, but no one can surpass Lu Bing. Although Lu Bing is not too old now, his authority is getting stronger and he has become extremely calm. In other words, he is quite like an old official in his forties or fifties, with no expression of his emotions.

However, the Lu family servant who was serving in the main hall today rarely saw Lu Bing's smile. He was there with two letters to watch carefully, while making a laugh, suddenly raised his head and said to the butler who was a little stunned by him:

"Please come here Mr. Qiu!"

The staffing configurations of teachers and staff are basically regular configurations for officials with real power above the fifth rank. Among the staff like Lu Bing, some civil servants are even part-time officials. However, Mr. Qiu is a clerk who is walking in the mansion and has given him some private affairs.

As soon as Mr. Qiu came over, he was surprised to see the smile on Lu Bing's face. Just as he was about to ask, Lu Bing said with a smile:

"Go and ask, who is the lady in the boudoir of a senior official in Beijing who is waiting to be named..."

Speaking of this, Lu Bing couldn't help laughing again, raised the letter in his hand and said with a smile:

"That Jiang Feng, that Jiang Feng, actually asked me to tell my father-in-law Liu Shunhua that the matchmaker will be renewed, haha..."
