When Dong Yun walked out of the restaurant, his face was gloomy. In the restaurant just now, the young Commander Wu of the Military and Horse Division was not so much looking for them to discuss, but rather giving direct orders to them, the big leaders of the Nancheng gang. Commander Wu
A series of regulations were promulgated to all gangs. The core of these regulations can be summarized in two points: First, all gangs should keep their own territories unchanged and are not allowed to expand their territories at will. Gangs must assist the factory guards and the military department to maintain their territory.
Stability on the streets; secondly, the amount of money that gangs turn over to factory guards and soldiers and horses will be increased by 15%.
But gradually, Dong Yun's expression softened. If you think about it carefully, in fact, in addition to the slight reduction in income, Wu Shigong's regulations have greatly increased the difficulty for a small gang to become a big gang. And Dong Yun's gang, as Nancheng
The largest gang, his leadership position has been strengthened. Dong Yun is also in his fifties and wants to live his old age peacefully.
Dong Yun returned home and saw his grandchildren playing in his yard. He thought to himself: It would be great to have such a stable life. It would be great!
To the surprise of everyone in the gang, in the days to come, due to the decrease in conflicts in the gang and the gang members assisting the factory guards and soldiers to crack down on crimes on the streets, the security situation in the entire Nancheng was
This has greatly improved. This has brought about a significant increase in the number of guests coming to Nancheng to play, and the income of each gang has also increased by more than 10% on average. In this way, except for the extra money paid to the factory guards and soldiers and horses,
In fact, the income of all gangs has increased.
After the discussion, Hu Ming and Li Pengfei were of course very satisfied. You know, Hu Ming belongs to the 100th household in Dongchang and has more than 100 people under his command; Li Pengfei belongs to the 1000th household in Jinyiwei and only manages more than a thousand people. The number of people
They are all less than the Bingma Division. Although the benefits obtained by the three organizations are similar, personally speaking, Hu Ming received the most, followed by Li Pengfei, and Wu Shigong the least. However, this is also a concrete reflection of the status of these three organizations.
When they broke up, Hu Ming and Li Pengfei both told Wu Shigong that the factory guards would not set any obstacles to the Bingma Division's collection of firefighting expenses. Moreover, they also expressed their admiration to Wu Shigong in private. They admired Wu Shigong for actually thinking
Fire protection charges are a legal and reasonable charge item no matter from any point of view. They all believe that factory guards should learn from the Army and Horses Division and develop more new projects like this.
Returning to the Army and Horses Division Yamen, Wu Shigong summoned the three deputy commanders Zhou Shikun, Yu Lian and Ruan Xiong, plus Xu Limu and Wu Mian to hold a meeting. Master Zhang Kequan was watching as Wu Shigong's staff.
At the meeting, Wu Shigong made major changes to the scope of jurisdiction of each deputy commander. First, Wu Shigong officially announced that Wu Mian had become the deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horse Command Department. Then, he changed the scope of his original jurisdiction as deputy commander.
The three hundred-household offices outside Xuanwu Gate were assigned to three deputy commanders Zhou Shikun, Yu Lian and Ruan Xiong, and the two hundred-household offices directly under the command of the city gate were assigned to Wu Mian for management. The other two were assigned to Wu Mian.
, Wu Mian also manages all firefighting work in Nancheng. The Hundred Households of the Water Dragon Team accepts the dual leadership of Wu Shigong and Wu Mian.
Wu Shigong also showed Zhou Shikun, Yu Lian and Ruan Xiong, the three deputy commanders, the instructions issued by the Ministry of War regarding the impeachment memorial of Gu Yushi. The content of the instructions was to require the Nancheng Army and Horse Division to strengthen training. Therefore, Wu Shigong asked
The soldiers of these three deputy commanders must take turns to participate in military training. The hundreds of personal soldiers have been abolished, and the military training team has been used as a temporary personal team of the command. And Xu Limu will be completely in charge of the internal affairs of the Military and Horse Yamen, as well as the hidden people in the Yamen.
Rules of business.
Every month, the regular silver handed over to Wu Shigong from each hundred households was raised to sixty taels. The regular silver handed over by the Shuilong team and Xu Limu was additionally calculated. In addition, Wu Shigong also informed everyone that Wu Shigong and the factory
After the briefing, all the deputy commanders were very excited because their incomes would be greatly increased.
After the meeting, Wu Shigong and Zhang Kequan were alone together. Zhang Kequan took out an abacus, calculated it skillfully, and said to Wu Shigong: After excluding all expenses, Wu Shigong will get more than 10,000 taels per year from the Military and Horse Division.
of silver.
After the meeting that day, Wu Shigong also formally hosted a banquet for his master, Mr. Zhang Kequan, as a late welcome banquet. At the banquet, Zhang Kequan introduced himself to Wu Shigong: Zhang Kequan and his elder brother Zhang Kehua are both from Shaoxing, and both have the reputation of being a scholar.
.Because the imperial examination admission rate in Shaoxing is too low, many scholars like them work as staff assistants to various officials.
Zhang Kequan also introduced: There are two types of masters. One is the Xingming Master; the other is the Qianliang Master. Although Zhang Kequan is qualified for both, the position he is best at is the Qianliang Master. Wu Shigong thought to himself: No wonder that
Zhang Kequan was very good at calculating.
Zhang Kequan also said to Wu Shigong: Zhang Kequan had served as a staff member in many yamen, so he had very rich experience. This time, because Zhang Kequan's eldest grandson was born, Zhang Kequan wanted to go home to retire. But he couldn't bear it.
Because of the relationship between Xue Lian and his clan brother Zhang Kehua, Zhang Kequan came to the capital on his way back to his hometown, so he was a little late. However, Zhang Kequan told Wu Shigong that no matter what, Zhang Kequan would be with Wu Shigong at most.
After working for three years, I will definitely return to my hometown.
Wu Shigong expressed his great gratitude to Zhang Kequan for his assistance. Zhang Kequan was indeed very capable. He had shouldered a lot of burdens for Wu Shigong these days, which made Wu Shigong feel a lot more relaxed. Wu Shigong then expressed to Zhang Kequan that after the matter of cleaning up the ruins was over,
, Zhang Kequan needed more help with the affairs in the yamen. In particular, Wu Shigong told Zhang Kequan that he was not very familiar with the official situation of the Ming Dynasty. If he made any mistakes, he asked Zhang Kequan to correct him and criticize him in time. For this reason, Wu Shigong also solemnly thanked Zhang Kequan.
A teacher's ceremony was performed.
After returning to Xue Mansion, Wu Shigong lay on the recliner and relaxed. He thought to himself: The affairs of the Bingma Division were finally sorted out.
But straightening out the work of the Bingma Division was not without its sequelae. One day, a pretty young widow stopped Wu Shigong on the street pretending to meet him by chance. She complained to Wu Shigong: Her powder shop costs more every month.
Two yuan of deposit was paid. Wu Shigong looked at Zhao Ruya's expression, and it seemed that he was trembling. In addition, when the breeze blew, the charming body fragrance came again. Wu Shigong agreed to Zhao Ruya again in a daze.
, from now on, Wu Shigong will cover all the money for the cosmetics shop. When Zhao Ruya, who was smiling, invited Wu Shigong to sit at the cosmetics shop again, luckily there was another breeze, which dispersed some of the body fragrance.
Wu Shigong sobered up for a moment. Wu Shigong smiled and declined.
Watching from the sidelines, Wu Shigong's guard captain Xue Yong was very conflicted. As the guard captain who followed Wu Shigong in and out every day, Xue Yong certainly knew that nothing happened between Wu Shigong and the little widow. But it looked like the little widow was asking
My uncle looked at me with great affection, and he looked like a pig. Should I report this matter to the Marquis, which seemed to be just a rumor? Xue Yong was very troubled, and he could only lament in his heart:
There is so much trouble at the widow’s door!
The next day, Wu Mian took out all the cash at home, including some of his wife's dowry, and collected 150 taels of gold and sent it to Wu Shigong as a thank you. But as soon as Wu Shigong changed hands, Wu Shigong gave the money to Wu Shigong again.
He spent all the money in the hands of those who came to the Yamen to ask for debts with white slips. Wu Shigong sighed in his heart: Although he seemed to have made a lot of money on the surface, he did not keep any money.
Life.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Kequan asked Wu Shigong: "Why don't you send these notes to Xue Lian?"
Wu Shigong expressed his difficulties to Zhang Kequan: What he did was mainly to share the worries of his father-in-law, and he did not want his father-in-law to pay for it.
Zhang Kequan said to Wu Shigong: The purpose of sending the IOUs was not to ask for money. The main purpose was to let Xue Lian know that his son-in-law had put his own money in to clean up the ruins. If Xue Lian could show these IOUs to Wei Zhongxian, then
The best. The greater the benefits you will get.
Wu Shigong was suddenly enlightened after hearing this, and sighed: After all, Jiang is still hot when he is old!
The days passed quickly, and it was July in the blink of an eye. And the work of clearing the ruins was on track. With Wu Mian promoted to deputy commander, the middle and lower-level officials of the Military and Horse Division also made some adjustments.
Baihu was transferred to the Baihu of the Water Dragon Team. Wang Baihu was quite satisfied with being in the Baihu of the Water Dragon Team, the most unpopular position in the past but now the most popular. But there was also some regret in the satisfaction. If he was in Wu Shigong
When you first came here, don't hesitate and decisively join Wu Shigong, then Wang Baihu would have a chance in the position of deputy commander.
And because Zhou Xun performed best in military training and in the subsequent handling of rubbles, Wu Shigong transferred him to the Hundred Households of the Guards Corps. Wu Shigong gave the vacant position of one hundred households to the three deputy commanders to arrange
In exchange for benefits, Wu Shigong's fourth brother-in-law received a position as the general flag. In addition, among the newly recruited soldiers, there was one person who also performed very well, that is Qian Qi, the second son of the late deputy commander Qian. Wu Shigong
He kept his promise and assigned Qian Qi the position of Xiaoqi. This made Deputy Commander Qian's first wife and eldest brother very unhappy. Because Qian Qi was also a concubine and was raised by his concubine.
