Pang Gang looked at the newcomers and said straight to the point: "I am a rough man, and I don't know how to beat around the bush. I am very happy that the three of you can come to Haibao. However, I have something unclear, so I would like to ask the three of you to take charge of it."
The official will clear up the confusion.”
"Sir, please speak!" the three men quickly said with their hands in hand.
"Wanghai Fort was built not long ago, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is poor and useless. Why are the three of you willing to come here and submit to it?"
As soon as Pang Gang said this, the three of them were a little surprised. They all looked at their friend Hua Yan. Hua Yan just shook his head helplessly. This man from a hundred households spoke so directly, and everything he said and did was perfect.
There is no implicitness that is typical of people in officialdom.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little awkward. Pang Gang did not rush, but just looked at the three of them with interest.
After a while, Meng Qing spoke first, and he said honestly: "Sir, Cao Min was invited by his friend Yunting (Hua Yan's nickname) to come here. As for the reason you mentioned, Cao Min has never thought about it.
.”
Zheng Mengcheng's answer was very honest, "Sir, the common people are poor, and Zhuo Jing has been bedridden for a long time. The common people need to make a living to treat Zhuo Jing." This answer is indeed very honest, so honest that it makes people speechless.
Finally it was Lin Feng's turn. This short and fat man was also very direct. He smiled and cupped his hands towards Pang Gang and said: "The common people prefer financial management, but there is no money at home for the common people to take care of it. I heard Brother Yunting say that you are more polite here.
If there is a lack of a small official to manage finances, ordinary people are willing to share the worries of adults."
Okay, this guy was even more rude, he just reached out to take care of the money!
Pang Gang couldn't help laughing, "Haha... Hua Zandian, these friends of yours are really wonderful people. They are more honest than the others!"
"Sir, my humble position... my humble position..." Hua Yan couldn't say any more, and he was gritting his teeth in his heart. These friends were too disrespectful to him.
Fortunately, Pang Gang did not delve into the matter further. After laughing for a while, he said: "In this case, I won't be polite to you anymore. Meng Qing, Wanghai Fort still lacks someone in charge of public security and criminal law. You will be the chief official for the time being."
Lin Feng, since you are interested in money and things, and I am going to open a workshop today, you will be able to take up the post in a few days. Zheng Mengcheng, I think you are honest and upright, so I will take the post.
I am responsible for the sundries in the fort. As for Hua Zandian, I have promoted you to the position of magistrate today because of your meritorious recommendation. What do you think?"
"I am willing to listen to your instructions and thank you for your grace!" The four of them thanked Pang Gang in unison. Huayan was suddenly promoted from the humblest Cuan Dian to the official, which was equivalent to being promoted two levels in a row. Meng was naturally overjoyed.
Qing and the three of them have their own positions. They have bid farewell to their white bodies and have a job to make a living. Naturally, they are not dissatisfied. As for Pang Gang, some of these people have joined and some things finally do not need to be done by themselves. It can be said that everyone takes what they have.
Everyone needs to be happy.
After arranging his personal duties, Pang Gang asked Hua Yan to take Meng Qing and others down, and asked the three of them to bring their family members to Wanghai Fort as soon as possible. Pang Gang's concern made Meng Qing and others very grateful. Qian En
Went out with great thanks.
After Hua Yan went out, Li Xian, who was next to him, said to Pang Gang with some worry: "Sir, I don't know whether to say something in a humble position or not!"
"Li Chandian, you have something to say, but it's okay to say it!" Pang Gang said nonchalantly.
Li Xian looked at Pang Gang, gritted his teeth and said: "It's not because we are jealous of talents because of our humble position. Your Excellency, it is our blessing to treat virtuous corporals as subordinates, but your Excellency just let these newcomers take on this important position. I am afraid that they are humble...
.”
Before Li Xian finished speaking, Pang Gang understood what he meant. Meng Qing and the other three were all friends of Hua Yan, and they were recommended by him. Pang Gang now handed over all the logistical affairs of Wanghai Fort to them.
If there is no reason, it will be easy for them to join forces to deceive Shangguan.
Pang Gang looked at Li Xian and nodded happily. No wonder people say, "Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure." Although this Li Xian didn't know how to read, after all, given his age, he knew very well about the ways of the world.
Pang Gang explained helplessly: "Now, Wanghai Fort is waiting for many businesses to prosper, and it is a time when talents are urgently needed. Since there are people coming to join us, we can't use them, right? Who makes us have no other available people? Everything in the fort is complicated.
, there is nothing that can be done or controlled by those illiterate old men. Many things have to be done by scholars. As for the things you were worried about just now, you don’t have to worry about it. I have my own arrangements."
Pang Gang didn't care too much about Li Xian's worries. As long as he firmly grasped the military power these days, everything would be fine. Even if Hua Yan and others wanted to make some small moves, Pang Gang would just move his little finger and they would be able to do it.
Gotta play it all.
After explaining some things to Li Xian, Pang Gang is about to leave for Qingzhou. Time waits for no one. The sooner the iron ore and cement plant matters are carried out, the better...
Pang Gang was walking in the courtyard of the Commander's Yamen, with a servant in front of him who was leading the way. Since the Commander's Yamen was a military institution, the buildings were built in a rather majestic and imposing manner, with a chilling atmosphere everywhere.
When he arrived at the door of a side hall, the servant asked Pang Gang to wait at the door while he went in to report. Soon the servant came out and said to him: "Pang Baihu, the commander is waiting at the side hall. You can go in by yourself. Today
Your Majesty is in a good mood, just be careful and everything will be fine."
The servant who received Pang Gang's two taels of silver gave Pang Gang some enthusiastic advice. After Pang Gang thanked the servant, he walked into the side hall.
The cold wind blew outside the house. Song Xinghe was sitting in the side hall, and next to him was Pang Gang, who had come all the way despite the cold wind.
Song Xinghe glanced at Pang Gang who was sitting beside him and asked: "Pang Baihu, you are not enjoying the blessings in your Wanghai Fort. Why did you come to see me this time?"
Pang Gang said with a bitter face: "Sir, I discovered an iron mine in the Wanghai Fort area today. I felt that there was a lack of weapons and armor in the fort. I wanted to order people to mine it to make weapons, but I couldn't hire it due to lack of silver.
There are enough manpower to mine ore and build an iron furnace to refine pig iron. No, I am here to borrow money from you after class."
"Borrowing money from me?" Song Xinghe glanced at Pang Gang in shock, and felt a strange feeling in his heart. Since ancient times, only subordinates bribed their superiors, but they have never heard of anyone who dared to lend money to their superiors. This
How courageous is this person with a huge family!
"Exactly!" Pang Gang said respectfully: "I beg you to lend me a thousand taels of silver from Beizhong, and I will return it after Beizhong mines the iron ore. I am willing to use 30% of the iron ore shares as collateral. If Beizhong cannot return the money after one month,
Your Majesty has two silver coins, but I am willing to let you handle my humble position."
When Pang Gang said this, Song Xinghe immediately understood that this Pang Gang was here to borrow money. He was clearly here to send money. As long as Pang Gang did not send the money after a month, Song Xinghe He can legitimately own 30% of the iron ore shares. I guess the annual dividends will be quite a lot, right? Unexpectedly, Pang Gang not only has a good way of training soldiers and fighting, but he even gives bribes in such a way that no one can catch him. .
"It seems that this Pang Gang is very sober. He knows that he can't swallow this piece of fat alone, so he came here to get me." Song Xinghe thought secretly in his heart. Of course, no one can have too much money. Song Xinghe is no exception.
Since Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, believed that all his officials should be pure people with completely noble personalities, the official salary was so thin that 90% of the people who received the imperial salary could confidently say: "I want to be corrupt."
Because if you are not corrupt, you will have problems in your life. Song Xinghe is a third-rank commander, which is equivalent to a rank-in-charge. His monthly salary is 35 shi, which is 5,600 kilograms of white rice. , it looks like a lot, but the salary in the Ming Dynasty was three meters and seven notes. Due to the excessive issuance of banknotes by the court at the end of the Ming Dynasty, all Song Xinghe could get was eleven stones, two buckets of rice and less than ten taels of silver. He is not corrupt, let alone wearing silks and satins, having a charming wife and concubines to support his family, I am afraid he would have to think hard even when eating a meal of meat.
Looking at Pang Gang's peaceful expression, Song Xinghe finally nodded and smiled gently, "Since Pang Baihu has asked me for help, I can't bear to sit idly by and ignore it. You and the housekeeper will go to the accounting room in a moment." Go get the money..."
