"What's going on?" Yu Ji's voice sounded in the courtyard, "Quickly, pull the gag out of his mouth!"
"The Grand Governor, the Grand Governor makes the decision for this little guy. When I came to my office in Huguang, I was beaten with a military stick by Master Chun before I even said a word!" The person who spoke was the old man who had just been beaten.
At this time, Xu He's voice lazily said from the hall: "Ding Ze, I asked you to hit him with a ten-army stick. Go down with the ten-army stick. It is said that at his age, even a young man should feel pain." Can't speak, what's wrong? Are you showing mercy?"
At this time, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu He had just walked to the door. He pretended to have just noticed Yu Ji coming, and quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Captain, why are you here?"
Yu Ji's face at this time did not still have the smile of the previous days. He could only see him saying gloomily: "Consort, what is going on?"
Xu He saw that his tone was not kind, so he stopped smiling. He looked at the old man on the ground with his hands behind his hands and said, "It is said that the petty officials in the capital are a bit more slippery than the local officials. Now it seems that it is indeed true!"
Xu He said it, but he didn't answer Yu Ji's question directly.
Yu Ji just wanted to get angry, but he was worried about the other party's identity, so he had to force out a smile: "So that's it, you deserve to be beaten!"
After speaking, he pulled Xu He aside and said: "Oh, my consort, if you are not sitting in the Hanlin Academy, why are you coming to the Experience Department?"
Xu He pretended to be surprised and said: "Captain, where do you start talking about this? I am deeply favored by the emperor, and I am here to serve as an experienced officer. This is also my yamen? Is it strange that I am here?"
Seeing him pretending to be stupid, Yu Ji finally turned cold and said, "Consort, come as you please. Why are you asking your servants to beat Wang Xuedao?"
"I want to get familiar with the affairs of the Experience Department, but this Wang Xuedao refuses to do anything. What's wrong? Uncle, you think I don't even have the right to deal with my subordinates?"
"If there is a problem with Wang Xuedao, it should be handed over to the judge of the fifth army. You beat the subordinate privately, this..."
"Really? I just came here and I don't understand anything, so I made my uncle a joke!"
Xu He looked at Yu Ji with a smile, which made Yu Ji's chest feel tight and he was speechless for a long time.
Yes, Wang Xuedao did not dare to make a big deal out of the matter. Secondly, even if he went to the Fifth Army Judge, well, he went directly to the Yan Officer to impeach Xu He, so what? Is Xu He still afraid that he, a little seven-level guy, will sue him?
Seeing that Yu Ji was silent, Xu He said, "Commander, why are you here?"
The chief governor, governor, and deputy governor of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion will basically not appear in the yamen for a year. If anything happens, someone from the yamen will report to the mansion.
Yu Ji's appearance here is problematic in itself.
When Yu Ji heard this, his expression changed: "I, I just happened to be passing by!"
"Well, then the Governor can go back to his hometown. After I finish handling the matters here, I have to go to the Hanlin Academy! Stay with me!"
Seeing that he had been talking for a long time, but the boy still couldn't get enough of it, Yu Ji also got angry: "Xu Qiancheng, I happen to be free today, so I'll stay with you!"
Yu Ji said these three words [accompany you] with gritted teeth. It was obvious that he was in a bad mood at the moment and was about to explode.
Xu He didn't care whether he would accompany him or not. He had gone through Si's experience. Since he decided to move forward, he would not give anyone face.
He turned around and left, changing his words as he walked: "Then let me watch the official handle official business!"
When Yu Ji saw this, he looked at this person from the side, but this person didn't give him any face. His head suddenly became dizzy, and he took a long rest before he regained his composure.
As soon as he felt more comfortable, he waved over a villain and whispered a few words into his ear.
Then the people ran out without stopping.
Xu He will not take care of Yu Ji. Although he is his boss, he actually does not have any real power in his hands. You are not the leader, so I am afraid of you.
I just took a rough look at the problems that occurred, and now I want to compare them.
For example, the Yongzhou Guard just now.
Hubei Xingdu Division happens to be in charge of Yongzhou Guard.
Yongzhou Guard lost two thousand people in one spring. Where did these two thousand people go?
Xu He had a guess. He went to the back room, pulled out the document just now, and opened the appendix of the list of two thousand people who had their membership removed.
After remembering five or six names and places of origin in his mind, he put them aside and found the official document in the 34th year of Yongzhou Wei Zhizheng's request for the imperial court to allocate last year's food and salary.
Opening it, there is only the amount of payment.
Someone may ask, aren’t your guard stations all military camps? Why do you still need to pay?
Of course, ordinary military households here cultivate their own fields and then pay grain to the court.
The court can raise troops without spending any money!
It's a good idea, but... I want to eat shit!
The real situation is that those who pay for food are almost extinct, and those who do not need to pay for food are the personal soldiers of the standard battalions and officers of various guards who are transferred to the governor and governor. These are all supplied by the court.
Okay, here’s the question. More than 2,000 people in your Yongzhou Guard died in one spring last year. These were all people who should have joined the army.
It can be concluded that the guard station is full of about 4,500 people, and you are missing 2,000 people, which means there are 2,500 people left.
However, your standard camp and personal soldiers are paid according to the quota of 4,500 people.
Okay, I, Xu He, took a step back and said that all 4,500 of your men suddenly jumped out of the stone and were full. But the commander of your Yongzhou Guard explained that all 4,500 men were removed by the governor of Huguang. Did he become his personal soldier?
Or are you people turning all ordinary military households into your own soldiers?
Is it reasonable?
It can be explained institutionally, but in reality this is complete nonsense.
Xu He originally planned to find out the salary list, but there was no such large-scale payroll in this era. Well, I was wrong.
I'll find other evidence.
After some searches, Xu He found a roster of soldiers who were commended by the Yongzhou Guard for the anti-thief crossing the border in Guangxi this year.
Good guy, the guard station with less than 5,000 people has a list of more than 1,000 people requesting rewards.
Xu He looked carefully at the list of one thousand people.
It doesn't take long to reap the rewards.
"Qu Er, the second of his family, was from Huangyangbao in the Yongzhou Guard. The army attacked Changsha Mansion and beheaded one level..."
Xu He smiled. He turned around and opened the document with the deregistration. After searching, he saw that it read, Qu Er, a native of Huangyangbao, Yongzhou Guard. He died on the way because he planned to be transferred to Yansui to send garrison...
It's amazing.
A person who died in the thirty-third year of his reign miraculously came back to life in his thirty-seventh year.
Not only did he survive, he even killed a rebel with great vigor! Here comes the problem, now there are two possibilities:
First, the man named Qu Er is still there, but he has changed from an ordinary military household to a personal soldier of a big shot in the Yongzhou Guard. This personal soldier was given money by the court, and the land of Qu Er's family was also occupied by this big shot. Qu Er became a There is no need to pay for food, the state provides the officers and soldiers of the guard station.
The second possibility is that Qu Er died and the fields were gone. For the sake of his own strength, the big man recruited someone from outside to act as a soldier and took advantage of Qu Er's name to receive the reward.
It's easy to figure this out,
Go to Yongzhou Wei and find Qu Er or an acquaintance of Qu Er and you will know.
After thinking about this, he put down the document and put it in its original place.
Just as he was doing all this, he suddenly heard someone outside saying, "Is Xu Xu from our Hanlin Academy here? Zhang Xu asked him to go back to discuss things!"
