It has been ten days since the Nanya princes were forced to express their stance, and the noise in Wenroufang is still there.
There were many guests in the Qingdi Temple watching the incense, and then they dispersed into each song. The guests in the second song saved a month's money just for one night of catharsis; the guests in the middle song held a big banquet just to prepare for the Qinghuan's grooming.
They all work as prostitutes, spending one night to prepare their wages, and three stars are in the sky; in the lobby of the famous people in the last song, there is constant laughter and laughter, and often the price of one night's drinks is half the money of selling one's body in the entire restaurant in the next song.
, or the highest price paid by a poor man in half his life... but the number of places is limited, and only one person can enter before one person can withdraw...
Bai Yousi didn't win the bet, so he naturally had to pay for the treat. Xiao Lin Dou Zhi and Dalin Dou Zhi were not eliminated from the market. They happened to reserve the place for An Er's mother's house and invited them to appear together. They came once last ten days and five days ago.
One day, and another today, the official staff was supplemented to more than a hundred people. In fact, including logistics, the civil servants may need a hundred and fifty Fulongwei to fully accommodate them.
This is just a formality, and it's hard to recognize the whole person.
And it’s not just about the large number of people. Fulongwei is now clearly divided into four or five groups... The clerks who operate independently in the White Tower are one group, and the school books are actually one group, and the logistics system that is actually assigned to Bei Ya is one, officially.
The combatants are of course the same as those who followed Bai Yousi and the people from the Jingan Taichung Town Fusi who were later recruited through transfers. The old team left by Sima Zheng are still the same. The place dispatched by the Ministry of War and the replacement personnel in the army are also the same.
In this regard, Zhang Xing had already suggested, and Bai Yousi had already begun to adjust personnel matters... For example, Qian Tang was promoted to the rank of Black Ribbon, but it was not the Deputy Inspector, but the Fulong Guard General;
Then Sima Zheng's old team also gave him face and found someone with decent cultivation, qualifications and character, that is, the cold face who protected Zhang Xing last time, and promoted him to the Black Ribbon Captain...Three Black Ribbons,
Each of the two is in charge of an action team, and Zhang Sanlang is responsible for logistics and intelligence, which is considered appropriate.
In addition, people like Qin Bao are also preparing to give white ribbons, and you have to reciprocate when people come to you. The people in the Ministry of War and the old people of Fulongwei are also preparing to select a few white ribbons to appease people. The so-called
You should be promoted when you should be promoted, you should look after the top of the hill and take care of the top of the hill, you should make exceptions when you meet those who are talented, and you can't do less nepotism when necessary.
There are various personnel arrangements. Anyway, Beiya Gaodu Gong is very busy, so he just takes the opportunity to secure a foothold in the Willow Forest of Xiyuan.
Once political commitments are made public and implemented, people's hearts will naturally be in order. This is the most critical thing.
When Gao Dugong came to his senses, he had to think twice before making his move.
"Brother Ding, you have been in Beiya for a long time, and I am about to use your qualifications to ask, now that Duke Gao is in power, what is his temperament, his ability, and how he handles things?" In the building of An Er's mother's house, the busiest stage of the scene has already begun.
In the past, everyone was drinking, eating meat, and chatting in twos and threes. In the corner, Zhang Xing was also changing cups, but he was making some remarks with Ding Quan, the Jinwu guard general brought by Shun Paozi.
Ding Quan is short-tongued and knows what he wants when he is so sensitive. He actually doesn't want to come when he is so sensitive, but he does have some fear of this desperate Saburo, especially
After he specifically inquired about the other party's deeds these days, he felt even more guilty.
So, I dare not not come.
But now, once the other party asked, he immediately became extremely cautious: "Actually...since the high-ranking governor can be the chief governor in charge of Beiya, he must have a decent face, be smart and capable enough in his behavior, and he is a holy family member."
It’s enough.”
This is nonsense.
But Zhang Xing was not angry, and just continued to ask: "What next?"
"Then..." Ding Quan held the wine glass and smiled bitterly. "Then, Duke Gao was a little more careful in his actions. He did not allow others to have different opinions, and it was said that he had a special grudge against those who looked down on him."
It is considered a common problem among eunuchs, so it is basically ignored.
"What is Mr. Gao Du's background?" Zhang Xing was too lazy to let the other party deal with him any more. "Are there any family members or later relatives outside?"
"I'm not from a high family background, and I don't have any such relatives."
"Any anecdotes? Just famous things?"
"There are two of them." Ding Quan was slightly refreshed. "Gao Dugong changed his name, and he is particularly sensitive to the old name... He used to be called Gao Changjiang, and now he is called Gao Jiang... Everyone in Beiya knows, if
If someone mentions the old name, he will be punished. Only Niu Dugong, an old man who has cultivated a great master's status and is listed in the heavenly list, often calls him casually."
Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment: "What is this? Gao Changjiang doesn't sound bad either?"
"It's really nothing unpleasant, but that's what Gao Dugong cares about." Ding Quan said helplessly. "It is said that there is a brother named Gao Dahe, who also changed his name to Gao He. It sounds more elegant and concise... and no one is allowed to call him Gao Erlang.
Something like that, because our family is a single household, just two brothers."
Zhang Xing nodded, which shows that this person is very concerned about his past experience of not getting rich, and his self-esteem is a bit sensitive.
"There is another thing that is also very famous." Ding Quan drank the wine in one gulp, as if he was speaking seriously. "It is said that before Gao Du Gong became famous, the saint once took the queen and the eldest princess to visit Xijing.
His Majesty casually said something interesting about the war dance scene in Beihuang, and also said that he would watch it here in Dongdu when it is repaired... Guess what, Deputy Changjian Zhang?"
"He took the initiative to build a theater theater in Dongdu and set up a theater troupe?" Zhang Xing thought for a moment.
"No." Ding Quan finally laughed. "Gao Dugong was already a small boss at that time. He was in charge of hundreds of people in one prison, but he went to learn the war dance himself, and carried Bei Emperor with his shirtless shoulders in the middle of winter.
I have been learning the big fan knife for several months, but after your Majesty arrived in the Eastern Capital, he never saw another war dance."
Zhang Xing also laughed: "Aren't there any other interesting stories?"
"If you want to talk about interesting deeds, Mr. Ma Du has a lot of things. He just followed the saint for too long and his position is stable." Ding Quan shook his head and just put the cup on the table, and then covered the mouth of the cup with his hand. "But Gao Du Gong has a lot of interesting deeds."
Mr. Gao Du Gong rarely talks about anything else. In terms of drinking, sex and wealth, Gao Du Gong is simply a role model for Bei Ya. His brother doesn't cause trouble, but he is a little less arrogant."
Zhang Xing nodded again, but stopped trying to force the slippery man and went to find someone else to drink.
However, just a few words gave Zhang Sanlang a new understanding of the high governor. He was a typical person from a humble background who wanted to climb up. Moreover, his identity as a eunuch also made him recognize
Focus on the saint and ignore all others.
In other words, a value recognition system was formed with the emperor's will as the only criterion.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Xing actually couldn't dislike Fulongwei's main business rival in theory, and the person who had just caused a big trouble... Because how can I put it, this is a very typical eunuch, typical and
Simple.
Similar ones are actually the Dukes of Nanya.
These days, everything in the court, inside and outside the capital, seems calm, as if the standing vote ten days ago was just a simple Nanya meeting to discuss the matter, but in fact, there has been an undercurrent.
To put it bluntly, there are some things that simply cannot stop Youyou from speaking.
From the court to the people, public opinion's disappointment with the rulers has almost become public in a private way. No one dares to criticize the saints, and it is hard to say publicly that big golden pillars should not be built, but in private they can
He made up stories to ridicule the prime ministers in various ways. In the halls of Wenwenfang, the fishing spots of the government offices, and the homes of officials, I dare not say that everyone is as unscrupulous as Zhang Liding, but basically
But the jokes are flying all over the place.
What kind of bullshit is being lenient on the outside but taboo on the inside? When I was young, I was riding in a car, and my brother didn't even have a horse. He was so angry that he shot the horse he was driving to death, but he took the opportunity to make a name for himself, saying that he was magnanimous and did not hold accountable. At the same time,
It implies that his brother's behavior is crazy and has ruined his career.
The British man Bai Hengqiu was romantically involved in his early years, and had numerous illegitimate children, all of whom he disowned, so much so that he couldn't even stand his own brother. He was only given a cold shoulder when worshiping his ancestors... He was a real cold shoulder, and everyone else was just a cold shoulder.
hot.
What else is there? Sima Xianggong always claimed to be honest and upright, but as a result, his eight sons, also known as Sima Bada, were all bastards who bullied men and dominated women. The eldest son, Sima Huada, was even nicknamed the Hungry Ghost on the Road, and several of his grandchildren
In other words, there is only one Sima Zhengcheng weapon, and the rest are all direct descendants of hungry ghosts on the road.
As for the wise and wise ways of protecting one's body in several major cases when the Wei Dynasty replaced the previous dynasty and after the saint ascended the throne, let alone talk about it.
No need to make it up.
Therefore, even those who were directly subordinate to and close to these prime ministers could not argue with him. They could only blame the high governor of Beiya, saying that he was a treacherous official who harmed the country.
And this is also the reason why Ding Quan, who was clearly afraid of Zhang Xing but did not dare to speak more when Zhang Xing asked about the deeds of Duke Gao, was because General Ding only thought that Zhang Xing belonged to Bai Hengqiu and his daughter, so he kept an eye on Duke Gao.
, but Beiya is also the biological father and current manager of Jin Wuwei, how could he dare to interfere?
However, Captain D really misunderstood.
Not only towards Duke Gao, but also towards several of Nanya's husband-in-law, Zhang Xing didn't have much personal feelings.
The reason couldn't be simpler. If you put yourself in Nanya's shoes, what can you do?
Is Wen Jian dead?
The key point is that for such a master, even if you are really killed by a collision, he will not blink an eyelid. Instead, he will think that you are tarnishing his reputation, kill your whole family, and not allow you to be buried alive.
There is also Gao Dugong, he is indeed a bad bastard, but... he is a typical eunuch, anxious about what a saint is anxious about. He has made it clear from the beginning that he will be His Majesty's dog.
Do people have special expectations for him?
It is with such an indifferent attitude that Zhang Xing looks at this major event that has attracted the attention of all the court.
The next morning, at dawn, Zhang Xing finally noticed that his eleventh meridian was faintly loose. He once again got up early from the yard of An Er's mother's house, but immediately threw himself into the morning exercises, preparing to work hard these days and try his best in summer.
Complete the Chongmai before the sun arrives and enter the final stage of the twelve main meridians.
It also saves you the trouble of not being able to hold your head up in Fulongwei.
But this time, in addition to Qin Bao, he was accompanied by Mr. Zhou and Wang Zhen, who had caused trouble last time. As a rare familiar face, Wang Zhen behaved very badly.
Instead, he became a rare celebrity among Fulongwei, who could be said to have both sides.
It was precisely because of Wang Zhen's presence that when Zhang Xing saw the boy passing by the corridor, he couldn't help but think of the old events of that day, but he stopped him and asked:
"How much did it cost in total for these three times?"
"Reply to Zhang Changjian." The boy was still well-trained and answered properly. "The three games are all guaranteed for 300 guan, which adds up to 900 guan... The breakfast is not ready yet, can you bring some tea?
"
Although both Qin Bao and Wang Zhen already knew the price, when the other party revealed the total, they still lost their composure.
Zhou Xingfan, on the other hand, was not moved at all.
Zhang Xing also just asked, and then didn't bother to think about it. As soon as he turned around, he remembered that there was too much gold and silver at home, and sometimes the fish and shrimps under the fish pond were provocative, and they were actually reflective, so he turned around and asked:
"Have you learned how to pay money three times?"
The boy was startled and immediately laughed: "I haven't even given it yet. Rich and wealthy people like the British government always come together at the end of the month...and it's cheaper if they know how to pay."
Zhang Xing knew that the other party had good intentions and came to persuade him not to pay more than he wasted. The rich and powerful families were so cheap, but he still couldn't help but be curious: "Why is it cheaper for them to pay? Is there any discount?"
"That's not true." The boy replied sincerely. "To be honest with Zhang Changjian, the main reason is that the rich and powerful households use more gold and silver for their money. Isn't this the case that when the gold pillar has come down, the price of gold and silver has risen again? And we set the price.
Regardless of whether it’s the cost of purchasing food or wine, it’s still calculated in terms of copper coins.”
Zhang Xing immediately realized: "How much has it increased?"
The boy thought for a moment and immediately gave the answer: "In the game ten days ago, it was thirteen guan against ten taels of silver; in the game five days ago, it was fourteen guans against ten taels of silver; now it has been more than fifteen guans."
Twelve taels of silver."
Even though Zhang Xing had been mentally prepared, and Dongdu City had actually experienced several sharp rises in silver prices in the previous year, he still couldn't help but be startled, feeling that Gao Dugong, who was not very annoying last night, had become annoying.
stand up.
Without further ado, because of Fulongwei's special use method, it is not as tiring as the Jinyi patrol team in Jingantai. The main focus is on patrols. In theory, it requires training here every five days, mainly practicing Qi formation and so on. It's just the first few days.
It's not full yet, so it's not started yet.
This afternoon is the first serious practice.
Zhang Xing, who was already very concerned about this matter, had no reason to take advantage of it. After finishing his morning exercise, he ate breakfast and left early like the others to prepare for the armor formation training in the afternoon.
"correct."
With the help of Qin Bao, Zhang Xing, who was wearing light armor, suddenly took the initiative to ask Yueniang, who was watching the excitement, about topics that Yueniang usually took the initiative to talk about. "Has the price of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. increased recently?"
"No." Yueniang obviously felt a little strange. "Why do you ask this?"
"Why hasn't it gone up?" Zhang Xing asked Qin Bao in turn. "We're going to build the big golden pillar, why hasn't it gone up? Didn't it go up when we were building Mingtang?"
"Because there are not many soldiers available." Qin Bao, who lowered his head to help Zhang Xing put on his armor, said something.
Zhang Xing suddenly realized that as long as there were not many servants, there would be no impact on the population of Dongdu City. In that case, the only core factor that determines whether the price of rice will increase or not is the transportation from Luokou warehouse to Fangnei. As for the oil, salt, sauce and vinegar
Tea basically follows the price of rice.
On the other hand, the price of firewood has always been more volatile, but now there is no obvious direct impact.
After putting on his armor, Zhang Xing put on his scimitar, and five or six people mounted the yellow gelding, and set off together with Qin Bao, who was riding the spotted leopard beast. They left the west gate of Chengfufang, crossed the old middle bridge, and headed all the way along Luoshui.
To the west, cross the Ziwei Palace, exit the west gate of the East Capital City, then turn back and cross Luoshui, then come to the independent south gate of Xiyuan, along which you can easily reach the willow forest.
In late March, the willow forest became more and more green and pleasant. It was rare for Fulongwei to gather together. When they saw Deputy Changjian Zhang and Qin Erlang, who was about to hang up his ribbon, everyone who had had a few drinks together said hello.
And Zhang Xing naturally heard the latest court gossip.
"His Majesty disliked Nan Ya's delay and issued an explicit edict." Bai Yousi said calmly. "The Ministry of Industry handed over the Babel Tower project to Bei Ya, and prepared to recruit another 10,000 official servants and official slaves to start building the big golden pillar.
…”
Zhang Xing heard something was wrong and immediately came to ask: "Didn't Beiya always say that he would prepare a big golden pillar for the saint? How can he change it and build a pagoda?"
"Because someone else took the initiative to undertake this project." Bai Yousi seemed not to know how to express his position, and stopped laughing. "Yesterday, I had a rest, and later today, during the imperial court, Zhang Han, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, suddenly took the opportunity to write a letter, asking himself to be the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Lord, participate in the preparation of this matter, just let the Ministry of Works supervise the work... Shengyan Dayue said that he knew how to share his worries, and appointed him as Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on the spot! "
Zhang Xing was stunned and paused for a long time, but finally smiled bitterly: "Another Zhang Shangshu!"
"Yes, another Zhang Shangshu." Bai Yousi sighed quietly. "This time, none of Ding Guogong's old subordinates carried out the assassination... There are so many of you named Zhang!"
"There are indeed many people with the surname Zhang." Zhang Xing sighed, and then inexplicably felt that Gao Dugong didn't seem so annoying anymore.
Because the most annoying kind of person is here.
