There are 150,000 uniforms and guards throughout the country!
Shen Lie pondered this number and couldn't help but secretly dumbfounded.
Of course, in fact, there are not so many people in Jinyiwei. That is all fabricated by unofficial historians. Taking the various military offices in the capital of Jinyiwei as an example, the total number of people is only 20,000 to 30,000.
Of course, there are very few personnel among the two to thirty thousand men, and most of them are helpers recruited from the market.
There were 14 permanent Jinyiwei stations in the Ming Dynasty. At the most, there were 17 stations, and later it was restored to 14. These 14 stations can be roughly divided into three categories.
There are five core institutes, six additional institutes and three functional institutes.
"It is affiliated with the fourteen divisions of Fusi in the north and south towns, and under it are generals, warriors, captains, and guards who are in charge of patrols and arrests."
Among them, the core five institutes, the middle institute, the left institute, the right institute, the front institute, and the rear institute, are all established at the thousand-household level.
These five institutes were the original intention of the establishment of the Jinyi Guards. They were mainly responsible for the emperor's ceremonial guard and bodyguards. They had higher status and were all close associates of the emperor.
Later, the functions gradually increased, and more detective officers were added to investigate and deal with illegal crimes.
Under these five offices, each has ten divisions. Initially, there are seven divisions: royal chair, fan hand, hood, flag banner, ax and ax, luan Yu, and horse training.
Later, three new divisions were added: Ban Jian, Ge Ji, and Bow and Arrow.
Later, six more were added, namely, Upper Middle, Upper Front, Upper Back, Upper Left, Upper Right, and Middle Back, all at the thousand-household level.
However, the status of the six later establishments was not as high as that of the core five, and the personnel there were mainly warriors and military craftsmen.
Such a large number of royal guards was naturally a heavy burden for the imperial court, and the Ministry of Revenue and the cabinet were naturally very dissatisfied.
Under the vigorous suppression of the civil service group, Jin Yiwei's salary was actually not high. Only when he was on a business trip, he could receive some travel expenses from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the remaining salary needed to be collected from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Occasionally, when he did a good job and ransacked a house with merit, the emperor would give some reward to the meritorious person.
Such an unreasonable salary system naturally resulted in a mixed bag of people in Jinyiwei who would do anything to make money.
Take Tian Hong's Liutiao Street Health Center as an example, it relies on collecting protection fees from merchants to support hundreds of people.
The sun was setting at this time.
The weather is a little cooler.
Shen Lie put down the cattail leaf fan and turned to Zhang Jingxiu, Tian Hong and the other two mysteriously: "What I want...we can set up a food ordering and pickup point next to the Jinyi Guardhouse."
He plans to open an outlet first, which will be located next to the Jinyi Guardhouse.
Every morning, when someone wants to eat something in the afternoon, they go to the ordering point to choose at will, then place an order, and then the outlet sends people to deliver these orders to various restaurants.
After each restaurant has prepared and packaged the meals, and then the errand boys deliver them to the guests' homes, most of the problems will be solved.
Shortage of manpower?
There are many Jin Yiwei to help.
Is public security not good?
Does anyone dare to steal Jin Yiwei's things?
Finished speaking.
There was a silence under the big locust tree. At this time, Shen Lie looked up and realized that Tian Hong, Zhang Jingxiu, Zhang Kui and others had already been stunned and petrified...
Several people looked over with their mouths open and their eyes widened, as if they had seen a prehistoric giant beast or a ghost.
Shen Lie was shocked by what they saw, so he could only say softly: "How?"
Several people gradually woke up.
Tian Hong slapped his own leg fiercely and praised: "This is simply...a genius. My dear brother is really a genius in business!"
Zhang Kui also praised with excitement: "Hey, how come the second shopkeeper has such a brain? He is so smart."
Zhang Jingxiu was naturally arrogant and curled his lips in dissatisfaction, but soon showed a sweet and charming smile to his sweetheart.
It was obvious that she was also convinced.
Looking at the heroic and young face of her sweetheart, Miss Zhang's heart trembled, and she muttered silently with a bit of sweetness.
Perhaps Guan Zhong was reincarnated and Shang Sheng’s possession was nothing more than that, but he really did all sorts of tricks in the restaurant!
It’s a shame he came up with such an idea!
Under the praise of all his relatives and friends, Shen Lie's old face turned slightly red and he touched his nose with some guilt. This was not a business idea he had come up with.
What outlets, food delivery, lunch boxes...
This is because he drew on the experience of later generations and modified it slightly according to the characteristics of this era. The meaning is basically the same.
And he had already chosen the location of this ordering point, which was a two-story building on the street opposite Fusi in Beizhen.
"I've already seen the store."
Shen Lie said softly: "The environment is good, the yard is big..."
Zhang Jingxiu and Tian Hong nodded frequently.
After praising him, Tian Hong touched his head again and said worriedly: "But... will the adults in Beizhen Fusi agree?"
Opening a store opposite Fusi in Beizhen and partnering with his bosses to run a food delivery business. Why does this sound unreliable?
Shen Lie smiled slightly and said firmly: "It would be unreliable if someone else did this business, but let's do it..."
Finished speaking.
Shen Lie looked at Miss Zhang who was fanning the flames for him at the side, and a flattering smile appeared on her heroic face.
"Isn't this related to the big shopkeeper?"
Have you forgotten what the fourth brother of our big shopkeeper does?
Tian Hong reacted immediately, slapped his leg again, and then looked over with Shen Lie, intently looking at Miss Zhang's sweaty and bright red face.
Zhang Jingxiu was stunned by what he saw and said hurriedly: "What are you looking at me doing?"
Shen Lie looked at her pretty face, rubbed his hands with some embarrassment, and said with a smile, "For the connections to Fusi in Beizhen, I can only ask the big shopkeeper."
The implication.
I have to talk to your fourth brother about this matter.
Tian Hong was also on the side and reminded with a smile: "The big shopkeeper can go to Fusi Yamen in Beizhen and ask the commander for a token to do things expediently."
Watch the two of them singing and harmonizing.
Zhang Jingxiu rolled his eyes cutely and said angrily: "I am not the big shopkeeper. The big shopkeeper is now the emperor. Why don't you go and beg the emperor?"
Shen Lie quickly comforted him: "The boss is joking, but you don't know that our emperor is doing things... huh?"
Shen Lie didn't say the second half of the sentence. Anyway, everyone knew that our emperor was unreliable, so of course they didn't dare to say it openly.
So after some sweet talk and coaxing, Zhang Jingxiu reluctantly agreed: "Then... okay."
Shen Lie slapped himself on the leg, and when he saw his sweetheart beaming with joy, Miss Zhang came forward.
This is settled!
So the time came to evening.
Fusi, Jinyiwei North Town.
After a busy day, Commander Zhang Jianxiu of the Jin Yiwei beat his waist, walked out of the government office, and stretched against the sunset.
He was about to go home, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw a slim figure in Confucian uniform waving to him across the street.
As soon as Zhang Jianxiu saw this stunning beauty dressed in men's clothing, he stopped and asked in surprise: "Little sister?"
