Taipu Temple was only established in the first year of Shunzhi. It was a special government office and was attached to the Department of Qing Li, the Arsenal of the Ministry of War. [] In the sixth year of Kangxi, the Jin standard was established. The highest official was Qing, with a full forehead, and one person for each Han Dynasty.
As a third-rank official, the main responsibility of Taipu Temple is to control the administration of the two-wing horse ranches outside the border area, and is responsible for the breeding of horses in the pastures. The two horse ranches outside the gate were originally managed by the Ministry of War, but are now managed by the Taipu Temple.
Pushi is in charge.
Because it has a close relationship with the Ministry of War and specializes in raising war horses, Taipusi is naturally very close to the Ministry of War. Both Manchu and Han ministers of Taipusi are appointed by Mingzhu's party members. Therefore, compared with the Ministry of Works, they allocate
The speed of the horses is very efficient. Of course, the horses cannot be transferred from the horse farm outside the mouth, but 300 horses are temporarily transferred from the Changping Horse Park. They are all first-class Mongolian war horses, fat and heavy, which makes Zhao Qiang secretly happy.
Sorry. But these horses have to wait until I leave the capital before I can take them with me. They are not given now.
Mingzhu was very considerate and knew that Zhao Qiang was short of manpower, so he asked Volha to allocate fifty people to his orders. In addition, he also took out a hundred from his bag to help Zhao Qiang escort the carriage and act as a laborer. Zhao Qiang took this of course.
I was so grateful that I went to Mingzhu Mansion to express my gratitude. Gao Shiqi happened to be in Mingzhu Mansion, along with several officials.
Mingzhu was obviously discussing something with them. When she saw Zhao Qiang coming, she gave him a few gentle words of advice and then asked him to go back. After Zhao Qiang withdrew, Gao Shiqi followed him out and stopped him. He said with a smile: "You can use
I bought 20,000 kilograms of medicine from the Ministry of Industry with one thousand taels of silver. This business is really cost-effective."
When Zhao Qiang heard this, he knew that Mingzhu must have known about this, and immediately said hurriedly: "The official was entrusted by the emperor and Prime Minister Ming to fight against the Rakshasa people. Naturally, he thought that the more medicine, the better." After a pause,
He hesitated and said, "If the prime minister thinks it's too much, I'll go to the Ministry of Works and quit now."
Gao Shiqi shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not necessary. Since the people in the Ministry of Industry have a right way of life and wealth, just take it. You are the one I protected in front of the Prime Minister. This time the imperial army uses Rakshasa troops, it is the time to make achievements. Dongfang
The Lord must seize this opportunity." He once again used the old title of "Proprietor" to show his high hopes for him.
"I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Zhao Qiang nodded solemnly with a resolute expression, full of pride that "a scholar will die for his confidant."
Gao Shiqi's eyes showed admiration, and he nodded slightly: "Go back, and you can use the people who have been assigned to you. I have been busy grading papers for the past few days, and I really can't find time, otherwise I will definitely set up a trap."
The banquet will be practiced for you.”
"Your Majesty, I appreciate it!" Zhao Qiang took a step back, bowed and saluted: "I take my leave!"
After coming out of Mingzhu Mansion, Zhao Qiang returned to the house outside Xizhimen. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Deqiu shouting and a lot of people busy coming and going. Those people were all servants sent by Mingzhu to do his bidding.
, so Zhao Qiang didn’t say much to them. He called Deqiu and asked him how his purchase went.
When the commander asked this question, Deqiu said with a proud look on his face: "Almost all the stores in Beijing, big and small, have been raided by the small ones. As long as the store is selling something, no matter what it is, my subordinates will buy it."
.It’s a pity that my subordinates are illiterate, otherwise I might be able to get the top prize or something with this.”
Zhao Qiang asked some other questions, and Deqiu also bought about the same. While talking, Ge Feihu came back and reported to the commander what he was doing. He spent more than one hundred taels of silver to buy it from a carriage and horse racing shop.
I bought four large carriages and hired a few carpenters at a high price to build them overnight. They were almost done, and they were just waiting to put people in them.
The process of buying prisoners was also in progress. According to the guards, they should be able to buy a dozen or so. A dozen or so was quite a lot, so Zhao Qiang asked the guards responsible for buying prisoners to stop and stop buying them. Spend more money.
I have completed the formalities so that I can take them out of customs together.
After finishing these things, Zhao Qiang took two guards to the Jingchu Guild Hall to find Zhou Peigong. Halfway there, he turned the carriage and went straight to Liutiao Alley. Sure enough, Zhou Peigong was there, and Ge Anxi was also there.
Balsam pear has a different face, this time he is beaming with joy.
Seeing Zhao Qiang, Zhou Peigong was stunned for a moment: Why are you here now?
"I wonder how Mr. Ge did in the exam?" Zhao Qiang did not ask Zhou Peigong to leave with him now, but asked about Ge Anxi.
Zhou Peigong smiled bitterly: "If you hand over the money, there will be no problem in being ranked third."
Ge Anxi corrected him: "Brother-in-law, the second manager said that I can be ranked second!"
"Whether it's second place or third place, how big a difference is there?" Zhou Peigong thought of how miserable he was when he failed to succeed in the imperial examination, and he couldn't help but think about the couplet.
"Of course the difference is huge. If you get the second rank, with a little more money, I can directly find a job in the civil service department. If you get the third rank, it will be much worse. Even being a county magistrate is a job." Ge Anxi
When he said this, he was not looking at his brother-in-law, but staring at Zhao Qiang, his eyes full of longing.
Seeing him like this, Zhao Qiang chuckled. He knew that this guy was thinking about his money again, but he was not angry. He quickly took out a thousand taels of silver notes and put it on the table: "Young Master's future is important. If it's because of money,
And it's not worth it if I miss the young master's important event. I still have some money in my lower body. If the young master doesn't mind it, please take these one thousand taels and take care of them."
"Ah!" Ge Anxi smiled brightly and stretched out his hand to take the bank note: "Thank you, thank you very much! I will definitely pay you back when I find a real need, little brother!"
Seeing that his brother-in-law was still so ignorant, Zhou Peigong shook his head in frustration and said to Zhao Qiang: "Do you want me to leave the quarantine with you in advance?" He knew that Zhao Qiang could not leave the quarantine in advance for some reason. He thought it was for the purpose of leaving the quarantine.
.
Zhao Qiang did not hide anything from him, he cupped his hands and said: "That's right! To be honest, our Qiuhe tribe is right under the eyes of the Rakshasa people. It is the beginning of spring, and the Rakshasa people will definitely go south to plunder, so I am in a hurry to hurry up."
Go back to protect the tribe. I thought I would be delayed for a few days a while ago, but now I have to leave."
"Okay, I'll go with you right now." Zhou Peigong was very happy and wanted to leave with Zhao Qiang without saying a word. Zhao Qiang was surprised, and then he realized that the one thousand taels of silver had contributed a lot.
Ge Anxi knew a few days ago that his brother-in-law was going to leave seclusion with this Sauron man. His reluctance to leave was diluted in the past few days. He had already gone a lot. In addition, Zhao Qiang gave him another thousand taels of silver. He had already thought about it in his mind.
I was thinking about how to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and find a good official position for myself. As my brother-in-law was leaving now, I was no longer so concerned or reluctant to leave.
Zhou Peigong's luggage was very sparse. He only had a few pieces of clothes to change with him and a dozen volumes. It didn't take long to pack them up. He went to the Jingchu Guild Hall to settle the rent for the past few days, and followed Zhao Qiang.
Returned to the house outside Xizhimen. At this point, Zhao Qiang told him that he had just been appointed by the imperial court as the deputy counselor of the Zhenghong Banner. The imperial court hoped that he would lead his tribe to cooperate with the army in fighting. After hearing this, Zhou Peigong was not surprised or dissatisfied. He just nodded, not much.
He asked Zhao Qiang directly where he slept, when he would leave the barrier, and whether there would be any problems at the barrier. Zhao Qiang answered him one by one and asked him to change his name to Bander the Sauron and act as his follower.
Everything is done by yourself.
In the evening, Zhao Qiang invited Zhou Peigong to a nearby restaurant for some food and wine, but Zhou Peigong refused to go, so he ate some food in the house. Seeing this, Zhao Qiang did not force him, and went on his own with Deqiu, Ge Feihu and two guards.
Went. He planned to eat in the restaurant until late at night, and then kidnap Dai Zi back. Tomorrow he and Na Shen would lead Volha out of the capital, and Zhao Qiang only had one night today to kidnap Dai Zi.
I can no longer take care of other things. If it doesn't work, just make a fake marriage breakup to Feng Yun. This can be regarded as a white lie, Zhao Qiang thought.
