The yamen of the Sixteenth Guards of the Southern Government of the Tang Dynasty was located in the imperial city directly north of Chang'an City, adjacent to many government offices.
After Fang Chongyong was brought here by the wolf-like and tiger-like Jinwu Guard soldiers, he was placed under house arrest in a certain custody room in the Jinwu Guard Yamen.
But he didn't panic at all. On the way here, he had already figured out a lot of things. He also roughly guessed why he was caught.
"I didn't expect that we would meet in this way for the second time on the same day."
Seeing the familiar face, Fang Chongyong sighed with emotion.
The person in front of him was Zhang Shougui's eldest son, Zhang Xiancheng, the eldest son of Zhang Yamen. He was sitting on a bench and looking at himself.
"Yes, I didn't expect that either. I thought it would take some time to find you."
Zhang Xiancheng sighed. He didn't want to take risks. He also knew that this gamble was a big one, but compared to the huge benefits, these risks were bearable.
He waved his hand to Si Ge, the Jinwu guard next to him, and the latter acted as if he didn't exist and turned away to mind his own business, as if he didn't want to care about such a thing.
"Where is the ledger of the Shazhou Caravan?"
Will there be internal strife?
During the Tianbao period, Zhang Shougui was mainly responsible for the above responsibilities.
Ding Wufeng spread his hands helplessly and said.
It will take some time to get what you want from that person.
Because the smaller the authority, the smaller the execution pressure. That must be managed, and this must be managed; the imperial city must be managed, and the inner city must be managed; the streets must be managed, and the city gates must also be managed.
How many times can the establishment be expanded to 1,000 people?
As for why some weak and hard measures are being taken against Zheng Shuqing now, it is because Ding Wufeng feels that the effect of "cooperating" with the other party should be worse. The shares are half for each person. My prime minister's son went to Hexi to become an official, and Zheng Shuqing will do it no matter what.
Help me clear up some connections and make connections, even if it's for the money we have.
We all call him Hexi Qilinzi. Do you think you can earn a more famous name?
"It's about opening the door, but you'll fall into the trap as soon as you open the door!"
Fang Chongyong felt that the distance from the chaos in the sky was not too far away now, and it could be seen in very few subtleties that the world was getting worse and worse.
However, the Jingzhao Prefecture itself has a strong ability to react quickly, and it is not an organized army or paramilitary force. This is one of the reasons that is not recorded in historical materials. It is also the reason why the Jingzhao Prefecture is very aggrieved.
There have been seventeen changes in the year, and few central institutions can step on it at any time, and even few powerful people ignore it.
The scene behind his eyes was strange at all. In fact, Ding Wufeng knew exactly how the next script was going to go. The dog owner mixed in outside the crowd was not the desperado found by Zhang Xiancheng, and he had not planned it yet.
Taking advantage of the chaos, they attacked and killed the imperial officials, and then created a "conflict between the government and the people".
If it were me, I would be willing to give it up.
He looked at whether you had taken action against him, whether you had married into the Wang family before him, whether you had snatched him as your beautiful concubine, and whether you had even done anything to him.
Leave a detachment of 700 people to patrol the imperial city, including those stationed at the far end of the city gate.
In addition, Zhang Shougui was also one of the armed forces that guarded the emperor. He was responsible for guarding the security along the journey, and guarding the palace, chariots, chariots, etc. As below, during the Tianbao period, Zhang Shougui was also a good person in that regard. Brother Ji used those
The chores were handed over to Long Wujun.
"Dog officer, get out!"
To put it more complicated, the Jingzhao Mansion has no power (although that power is basically used). It mobilizes and recruits soldiers from the Gyeonggi area. The soldiers and horses of the Eighteen Guards of Nanya, including Zhang Shougui, are deployed somewhere in Chang'an City.
Perform security duties.
"Get out of here, the dead dog officer Jin Wuwei!"
The following functions and powers are not disputed by later generations of Zheng Shuqing, and they belong to Zhang Shougui's main business.
He seems to understand very well!
Therefore, a core ledger for recording accounts is not necessary.
This person said to him.
Give you half of these shares, and he will receive dividends from the rest.
It must be you, you will burn it and keep it for self-protection.
What's the matter with riding a horse?
Seeing how cold my tone was, Zheng Shuqing thought for a moment, waved to Ding Wu, and said in a high voice: "I miss these big ladies, can he find one to come over and relieve me?"
"Everything else is missing," he thought quickly and said goodbye.
At this moment, the small door of Jingzhao Mansion's Yamen is not yet full of "common people". They are all the victims of old cases accumulated by the young people of Jingzhao Mansion.
That young and powerful young man, who was full of energy and energy, had a good life. The powerful family had a small business and had few abandoned children. The person who was thrown to Zhang Shougui to live a life probably wasn't like that.
The other palaces, including Xiaoming Palace and Chang'an Palace City, include Xingqing Palace where Brother Ji lives. Because Brother Ji only doubts the Longwu Army, he is too suspicious of the simple composition and complex sources, and has not been infiltrated into a sieve by various forces.
The same Zhang Shougui.
Your father cannot place you in Hexi as a border general, or as the governor of a state, or even as the governor of Shazhou.
There are so many Zhang Shougui, and there are so few affairs in Chang'an City. It is very unusual for someone to be far away from the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen for a while, right?
I want to make small money, not for enjoyment, but for the wealth and connections to be turned into what I want when I need them!
Hexi, trade routes, smuggling, and heroic soldiers. There are not too many benefits on that road. Regardless of whether the sky will continue to be stable or there will be sudden chaos, the outside is worthy of adventurers to try the water.
When a certain person resigned as the governor of Shazhou, all the major accounts were burned. Specifically, the smuggling incident in Hexi had nothing to do with the certain incident."
You are not in Hexi now, but in Liangzhou and even more so in Shazhou. His words have not lost appeal here, and he still has no strength to manage the accounts. No one is willing to listen to him.
Because those things cannot be cashed in immediately as long as Zheng Shuqing returns to being a minor official in Hexi. So it is understandable that he insists on handing it over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I suspect that he should be the only one on duty outside. Even if I look for him, it will be the same as looking for someone else."
Of course, we came here voluntarily, but there was no dog to entrust us with money, saying that we would get money if we came to make a scene.
Fang Chongyong said very firmly, full of confidence.
Make sure I haven't returned the jade to him. How about he go directly to the square house in Yongjiafang and ask your wife to get 700 pieces of property as a reward?
Before Zhang Yanei left, Zhang Shougui's Si Ge walked back and looked at Zheng Shuqing with an expression on his face, standing guard on the side.
All you need is the account book of the Shazhou Caravan!
Because Zhang Shougui had retreated the people outside the yamen, there were only a thousand people in total! Of course, it was still weaker than the 800 people Qianniu Guard had at this time!
"Brother, how much is a monthly salary?"
Zheng Shuqing asked curiously, and started chatting with Ding Wu in a familiar manner.
Just say the words "richest man in Chang'an" and that's it. Before the matter is completed, I must return the jade to him, so that the piece of jade is more important to him.
You can see it, and it actually exists. You can get some dividends on weekdays.
I suspect that Ding Wufeng knew that Hexi definitely made a lot of money in those years, and that the money might have been kept outside his home, or he might have found a place to bury it.
Those words were really candid and straightforward. They were completely disguised. They were really heartfelt.
As long as there is blood on the scene, it will be delivered to the hands of the saint. In the end, the trouble will become smaller and smaller.
That would be bad for both of you.
"The annual salary is 60 shi, which is just for living."
In the case of overlapping functions, what should people from Jingzhao Mansion do if they encounter Ding Wufeng's people while patrolling the streets? It can always be said that two agencies will handle the same thing at the same time, right?
"I hope Lao Zheng is still bad. If it were you, I'm afraid I would concentrate all my resources on the Jingzhao Mansion."
Throwing in the words "hidden needles", I saw Zheng Shuqing still shaking his head anxiously, with a helpless smile on his face.
That is not a bad future route that Fang Chongyong has planned for himself.
Ding Wufeng said nonchalantly: "A certain lady is the direct son of the governor of Hedong Province. As long as he takes you out to play with me, that's all. The rest of this is just a joke."
Si Ge is a fourth-rank official. It is true that he can barely support himself in Chang'an, but it is enough to support his whole family.
That statement seems strange, but in fact it is consistent with the specific situation of Chang'an City at this time. It is also consistent with the national conditions at this time when the military system has not yet collapsed.
He thought it was a battle of imperial examination fraud.
I, who had not gotten a penny from smuggling in Hexi, would be in a defeated position at this time, quietly watching the wild dogs in Chang'an City, biting and grabbing food outside the mud pit.
"If I said it was burned, would you believe it?"
Even in the past few years, as long as there is a change of emperor, the specific situation will change slightly. It is common for the most favored army to be disbanded.
Hearing that, the Si Ge thought about it. He took the jade and put it back in his pocket. He bowed his hands to Ding Wufeng and said, "I'm going to set off as soon as I get up. Fang Shijun doesn't have any instructions yet?"
Will people on both sides fight?
Jin Wuwei shouted to the officials who were holding sticks and preparing to open the door to drive away the crowd.
There are few ways I can't give it a try. After all, my father is the Prime Minister. I am sure that Ding Wufeng is really stubborn, so I can only resort to some tricks to get on the stage. I want to get there.
You want to regain control of those shares, which is also a complicated matter.
The statement that Zhang Shougui's authority is minimal is also correct, but just like the following reasoning, what Zhang Shougui wants to do can also be summarized as "the authority is minimal".
Ding Wufeng bowed to Zheng Shuqing with folded hands, and continued quickly and leisurely:
You want less, right? He already has control over this thing, are you helping him now?"
Angry shouts came from the door, which scared the Jinwu guards in front of the door to tremble.
It's just that, it's one thing to know how your opponent's plot will go, but it's another thing to be able to deal with it!
If you make less trouble for many days, you will get less for many days, and the day will end!
Less than half of them are the sons of Chang'an's rich and powerful who are living a gilded life. Their ability to fight is almost zero, and they have not yet been reduced to honor guards and paramilitary forces responsible for patrolling and public security management!
A similar situation is worse than asking a person to eat at a buffet. He asked me whether I ate before I left or whether I had eaten at all.
The answer is, both management and administration.
Nor can we tell him by the way that the Jinwu Guard is about to be destroyed, and it may be difficult for the Left Prime Minister to keep his position. At that time, few officials in Chang'an were in trouble, so it was a good thing for him to avoid trouble there.
Hearing this, Fang Chongyong was stunned. He never expected that this man would actually bring him to Jinwu Guard for interrogation because of the smuggling incident in Hexi.
How about you divide these shares into 70-70 shares?
Zheng Shuqing completely understood what Zhang Yanei was thinking.
I think it’s okay for me to be greedy, but then everyone else has to be the same as me?
His father, Zhang Xiancheng, first gained an advantage under the court, then moved himself to Hexi to become a minor official, and was the first to control the smuggling trade route!
"It seems like something is going to happen here in Jingzhao Mansion.
Similar problems are actually unknown and can only be summarized as "eating at the buffet" and require detailed analysis of specific issues.
Some of your father's cronies are still in Hexi and control part of the military and government.
The Yamen of Jingzhao Prefecture does not have "deployment power", but has no law enforcement team, or only high-ranking officials who are drafted and dispatched as "temporary workers" for public security and law enforcement.
Here comes the crucial question, does Ding Wufeng care about the public security in Chang'an except the imperial city?
You helped your father manage the accounts for the first time, but actually he didn't get the part of the money that he gets now.
Fang Chongyong offered me conditions that I thought were excellent.
That business was mixed with personal interests, so it seems like it was handled badly."
Now Jinwuwei is encountering such a problem.
Zhang Xiancheng said straight to the point.
I think it is human nature for Zheng Shuqing to give up the shares that have not become "convertible".
For example, it is discovered that no one in a certain village is rebelling! Such mobilization of those troops is the power of the governor of Jingzhao. Likewise, that power has no restrictions, requires approval, and has no boundaries.
But you don’t have the strength, or your father doesn’t.
Chang'an City is very small, and there are very few law enforcement agencies.
I must have eaten it. Which dish did you eat specifically?
…
How much of the food have you eaten?
No matter how much money I had, I would have died in one of the expeditions. What would I do with all the things I had in my body after I died?
It is estimated that the failure to supervise the imperial censor wrote a very biased complaint accusing Jin Wuwei of abusing force.
Now there is no room for turning around with the forces of the Right Prime Minister, so we can only jump onto the boat of the Left Prime Minister Li Linfu without reservation.
If he takes half of the dividend, it will be swallowed up by people like Shazhou, and it will be lost in vain.
At this moment, Zhang Shougui and the others who were supposed to be patrolling around the area seemed as if their parents had just died and they had to go back to pay their respects. The shadows of ghosts were all visible.
In Chang'an City, Zhang Shougui is responsible for patrolling the streets, and the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen is also responsible for the security of Chang'an City in addition to the Imperial City, Xingqing Palace, and Xiaoming Palace, and even the suburbs and surrounding counties.
"You don't have the heart to take care of Hexi's business affairs because you made it so clear. You know it, and you know he knows it.
I shook my head helplessly. As long as Brother Ji rewards Shazhou with military merit in a few years and sends his only token to Low Lux, everything will be fine.
Ding Wufeng's function of supervising officials at all levels and monitoring junior and middle-level officials has changed. Because Ji Ge also prevented anyone from assassinating the emperor or launching a coup. One less pair of eyes means less danger. He doesn't mean anything like a royal guard.
, but they are not as professional and have more manpower.
It doesn’t matter whether someone has merit or hard work. Is it possible for you to cooperate and achieve nothing?”
So you suspect that he must also have a fever."
But my question made Zheng Shuqing completely confused!
I left the holding room as if I was running away, leaving Zheng Shuqing alone.
Therefore, that wealth must exist in the form of shares in the Shazhou Caravan.
"You treat people the same way you do.
Zhang Shougui did not have the power to enforce the law, but he did not have the power to "deploy."
I thought that when I heard that, Si Ge looked like he was seeing a poisonous snake and a fierce beast. He quickly waved his hands and said: "That real envoy must kill someone! The following is a strict order for the envoy to receive the family members. If he recruits Ping Kangfang,
It’s not harmful for men to play around.”
If it was because I was getting money, how could it be possible that every time I led my troops to kill people, buy goods, or maintain trade routes, there wouldn't be so many Qiu Si around me to protect me?
In other words, which army the emperor chooses to surround himself with rarely depends on the preference of the person concerned.
Uncle Zheng sighed quietly, lamenting that nowadays people are really left to their own devices in the world.
What’s even cuter is that Zheng Shuqing has been telling the truth to Zhang Yanei, I didn’t get a penny, so why doesn’t anyone suspect that I have been working voluntarily for several years?
"That's all, I know he will say it sooner or later. Such a small amount of wealth is still endless. I suspect it is very tempting. He means there is something bad and weird about it."
Someone wants to have a stalemate with him, so that can be considered mutually beneficial.
The first is to guard the palace. Zhang Shougui's soldiers are divided into "teams" and are responsible for patrolling, guarding and changing defenses inside the palace.
Generally speaking, Zhang Shougui still continued the performance management habits of the Xiaotang government: supervising one department and taking care of others, some functions were not lacking, and law enforcement was very inflexible.
And there hasn’t been a single problem.
It does not have weak powers in theory, but it has smooth execution channels in reality.
A bad daughter should work hard, why not hide and be a coward?
So if you think about it with your toes, you will know that Zhang Shougui's majestic deeds recorded in ancient books are quite watery.
After being slightly startled, the Si Ge also asked in a high voice: "Who do you want to find? Is it a Han man or a Hu Ji, a young man, what is his identity, are there any requirements for body shape? Does he need talent?"
?Is one enough?"
Take the piece of jade and go to Zhongnan Mountain to find General Low, Low Lishi, and give the jade to me.
Fang Chongyong asked with a smile.
"Well, with all due respect, Shazhou Caravan, I am just a manager and organizer outside. In fact, I get every penny and have no shares.
"That piece of milky white jade from the Western Regions can now be sold for about 700 guan in a pawn shop in Chang'an East City. It was given to me by a descendant.
Brother Ji's attitude towards Zhang Shougui was generally disgusting.
However, from the first war in the Tang Dynasty to the Ganlu Temple Incident in the mid-late Tang Dynasty, Ding Wufeng's basic system changed very little. It was just that the large establishment was reduced due to the collapse of the imperial army.
Ding Wufeng thought that the other party would have to give up these huge benefits, so he shook his head in disappointment, walked out of Zhang Shougui's Yamen as quickly as possible, and then exhaled a filthy breath.
So from that point we can see that the ancient Chinese feudal rulers had a thorough study of histology for the first time.
After all, there are 104 squares in Chang'an. Even if only seven people are allocated to each square, this will occupy 770 people.
So there must be something wrong somewhere, who is listening to whom?
Why would a person like Ding Wufeng go crazy to take the imperial examination? Ding Wufeng understands, but that doesn't affect me to sneer at it!
He does not suffer a loss, because it is you who take care of the business and pay him dividends every month or six months.
And some patience.
Between the two, each has no plans and restrains each other. There is no way for one family to be alone.
Can you reach out and take the money from the Shazhou Caravan? Will anyone be jealous if you take it? Can you still return to Chang'an alive and well after taking it?
The capital city in the feudal era basically revolved around the needs of the emperor, and the army of cronies around the emperor often changed very little.
The situation of Jinwu Guard can be summed up in just seven words: We are at a loss as to what to do.
