It has been ten days since the Nanya princes were forced to express their stance, and the noise in Wenroufang is still there.
The Qing Emperor in the square was full of pilgrims, and then 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 grand banquet just to prepare themselves for the upcoming transformation of the poor peasants into red peasants, so that they could save their salary for one night and watch three stars in the sky. ; In the lobby of Shangqu’s famous people, there was constant laughter and laughter. Often the price of one night’s drinks was half a month’s worth of selling one’s body in Xiaqu’s entire restaurant, or the highest price paid by a poor housekeeper in Zhongqu’s half-life... But again The number of seats is limited, and only one person can enter after one person retreats...
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 replenished to more than a hundred people. In fact, including logistics and clerical staff, Fulongwei may need a hundred and fifty people to fully entertain Fulongwei.
This is, in fact, just a formality, and it is difficult 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 and school clerks who operate independently in the White Tower are one group, and the logistics system that actually belongs to Beiya 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 invitations. 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 not as deputy inspector, but as a general of the Fulong Guards; 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, so 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's hearts. The so-called promotion should be promoted, the mountains should be taken care of, and the exceptions should be made when meeting talented people. Necessary nepotism cannot be less.
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 doing something to Ding Quan with the Jinwu guards brought by Shun Paozi.
Ding Quan is short-tongued and knows what people want when they come to treat him. At this sensitive moment, he actually doesn't want to come, 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 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 then?"
"Then..." Ding Quan held the wine glass and smiled bitterly. "Then, Mr. Gao was a little more careful in his actions. He did not allow others to have different opinions. He also reportedly held a special grudge against those who looked down on him."
It can be regarded as a common disease among eunuchs, and it is basically ignored.
"What is Mr. Gao Du's background?" Zhang Xing was too lazy to let the other party deal with it any more. "Are there any family 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 actually two of them." Ding Quan's spirits perked up slightly. "Gao Dugong changed his name, and he is particularly sensitive to the old name... He used to be called Gao Changjiang, but now he is Gao Jiang... Everyone in Beiya knows that if someone mentions the old name, he will be punished. Only Niu Dugong He is a master in cultivation and is listed in the heavenly list, so he often calls him casually."
Zhang Xing was surprised for a moment: "What is this? Gao Changjiang doesn't sound bad either?"
"It's indeed 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, and he also changed his name to Gao He. It sounds more elegant and concise... and no one is allowed to call him Gao Erlang or anything like that, because the family is a single household, there are only two brothers."
Zhang Xing nodded, which showed that this person was very concerned about his past experience of not getting rich, and his self-esteem was a bit sensitive.
"There is another thing that is also famous." Ding Quan drank the drink 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 watch the war dance show in Beihuang in Xijing. His majesty casually said it was very interesting. He also waited for the east capital to be repaired to watch it here in the east capital. ... Deputy Changjian, guess what?"
"He took the initiative to build a theater theater in Dongdu? Did he arrange 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 Zhanwu himself. In the winter, he was bare-chested and carried the big fan knife used by Bei Emperor, and made a muffled sound. After several months of watching, His Majesty never saw a war dance again after arriving in the Eastern Capital."
Zhang Xing also laughed: "Aren't there any other interesting stories?"
"If you want to have interesting deeds, Ma Dugong has a lot of them. 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, then covered the mouth of the cup with his hand. "But Mr. Gao Du Gong has very few rules. When it comes to drinking, sex and wealth, Gao Du Gong is simply a role model for Bei Ya. His brother doesn't cause trouble, he is just a little less arrogant."
Zhang Xing nodded again, but stopped forcing 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 of low origin who wanted to climb up. Moreover, his identity as an eunuch also gave him a new understanding. Focus on the saint and ignore all others.
Or, a value cognitive 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 why, 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 line-up vote ten days ago was just a simple Nanya meeting to discuss the matter, but in fact, there has been an undercurrent.
To be honest, 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 accuse the saints. On the surface, they are not good at what should not be built, but in private they can He made up stories in different ways to ridicule those prime ministers. In the halls of Wenwenfang, the fishing spots of the government offices, and the homes of officials, no one dared to be as unscrupulous as Zhang Liding, but basically jokes were flying all over the place.
What kind of bullshit is lenient on the outside but taboo on the inside? When he was young, he rode in a car and his younger 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 become famous. He was magnanimous and did not hold anyone accountable. At the same time, he hinted His younger brother behaved wildly and ruined his career.
Why did the British man Bai Hengqiu have a romantic relationship in his early years and have countless illegitimate children, all of whom he refused to recognize, so much so that he couldn't even stand his own brother, and only gave him 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 sage and self-protective tactics of these prime ministers in the Wei Dynasty when they replaced the previous dynasty, and in several major cases after the saint ascended the throne, it is even less necessary.
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, and could only blame the high governor of Beiya, saying that he was a treacherous official who harmed the country.
And this was also the reason why Ding Quan was clearly afraid of Zhang Xing but did not dare to speak more when Zhang Xing asked about the deeds of Duke Gao. Captain Ding only thought that Zhang Xing belonged to Bai Hengqiu and his daughter, so he kept an eye on Duke Gao. , but Beiya is Jin Wuwei’s biological father and current manager, how dare he get involved?
However, Captain Ding really misunderstood.
Not only towards Duke Gao, but also towards several of Nanya's husbands, 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 head-on collision, he will not blink an eyelid. Instead, he will think that you are tarnishing his reputation, and will still 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. He is anxious about what a saint is anxious about. He has made it clear from the beginning that he wants to 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 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 Positive Veins.
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 the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without scolding. As one of the rare familiar faces, Wang Zhen, who behaves very poorly, has become a rare celebrity in Fulongwei. He can 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?"
"Report to Zhang Changjian." The boy was still well-trained and answered appropriately. "The three games are all guaranteed at 300 guan, which adds up to exactly 900 guan... We haven't prepared everything for breakfast yet. Can we bring some tea?"
Although both Qin Bao and Wang Zhen already knew the price, when the other party came out with the total, they still lost their composure for a while.
Zhou Xingfan, on the other hand, was not moved at all.
Zhang Xing just asked the same question, 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 fish and shrimps stirred under the fish pond, and it turned out to be 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 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 waste more money. 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 earnestly. "To be honest with Zhang Changjian, the main reason is that the rich and powerful spend more money on gold and silver. Isn't it true that the big gold pillar has come down and the price of gold and silver has soared again? And whether we set prices or purchase food and drinks, we should still follow the It’s a lot 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 guans worth ten taels of silver; in the game five days ago, it was fourteen guan more than ten taels of silver; now it has been more than fifteen guans. Twelve taels of silver."
Even though Zhang Xing had been mentally prepared for it, 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.
Little gossip, because Fulongwei uses a special method, it is not as tiring as the Jinyi patrol team in Jingantai. Theoretically, it needs to be done every five days here, mainly practicing Qi formations, etc., but it has not been done in the past few days. It was full, so it didn't start.
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 everyone else 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 fun, a topic that usually came only to Yueniang. "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 about this?"
"Why didn't it go up?" Zhang Xing asked Qin Bao in turn. "We're going to build a big golden pillar, why hasn't it gone up? Didn't it go up when we were building the Mingtang?"
"Because there are not many soldiers available." Qin Bao Yiyi lowered his head to help Zhang Xing put on his armor.
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 the 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 went out of 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.
"Your Majesty disliked Nanya for delaying time, so he issued a clear edict." Bai Yousi said calmly. "The Ministry of Industry handed over the Babel Tower project to Beiya and prepared to recruit another 10,000 official servants and official slaves to start building the big golden pillar..."
Zhang Xing heard that something was wrong, and immediately came to ask: "Isn't Beiya always preparing a big golden pillar for the saint? How can I change it to 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. "I had a rest yesterday, and later today during the imperial dynasty, Zhang Han, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, suddenly took the opportunity to write a letter, asking the Ministry of Civil Affairs to take the lead in participating in the preparation of this matter, and only let the Ministry of Works supervise it... Shengyan Dayue, he knows how to share his worries , moved him to be 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 there is no assassination attempt by Ding Guogong's old subordinates... There are so many of you with the surname Zhang!"
"There are indeed many people with the surname Zhang." Zhang Xing sighed, and then inexplicably felt that Gao Dugong was not so annoying anymore.
Because here comes the most annoying kind of person.
