Text Chapter 1127 Let¡¯s go to the city

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The master of a hundred families wants benefits, but this is not something he, a little servant, can make the decision for.  Even if he temporarily deceives him, it won't work. After all, if he promises something, he will be in trouble if the Iron Rooster doesn't take care of it.

    So, this servant now understands the thoughts of the man from the hundred households opposite, but he has to pretend to be confused here.

    Fortunately, the person from the Baihu family opposite did not make things difficult for him. After all, this person named Chen Xiuchang also knew that it was impossible for a small servant to make the decision on such a matter.

    If he wants to get benefits, he can only bring it up face to face with the prefect.

    Therefore, Chen Xiuchang of the Hundred Households smiled at the servant: "Don't worry, if there is such a chaos in Yangzhou City, as the Hundred Households of the Guard, I also have the responsibility to do my part. If there are any problems, I will tell you directly.  , you go back and tell him now, and I will lead the troops there."

    With these two words, the servant's mind was settled. It was great not to be embarrassed.

    Of course, it is impossible for Chen Xiuchang to embarrass a small servant. Given his identity and status, it would be too embarrassing.

    After sending away the servant sent by the Yangzhou magistrate, Chen Xiuchang summoned his cronies.

    "My lord, do you know why you have summoned your subordinates?"

    After hearing the summons, three of Chen Xiuchang's cronies rushed to Chen Xiuchang in a short time.

    With a smirk on his face, Chen Xiuchang told his cronies what was happening in Yangzhou City, and what the Yangzhou prefect, who had always looked down on them and always made trouble for them, wanted to do with them.

    "Sir, do we really want to help that dog officer? This guy usually doesn't deal with us. He even charges money for some businesses in the city where our guard is located. Now that this guy is in such trouble, we just need to  Just sit here and watch the show, why bother to help him. Anyway, if things get serious, this guy will take care of it himself."

    After listening to Chen Xiuchang¡¯s story, one of his cronies asked in confusion.

    Yes, people like them, who are considered high-level people in the health center, all have small businesses in Yangzhou City.

    Although the business is not big, it can still supplement some household expenses.

    "Otherwise, just relying on the little money from the court, I would probably starve to death long ago.

    After the pay and silver issued by the imperial court were withheld layer by layer, not many of them would be able to fall into their hands.

    ¡°This is true even for low-level officials like them, let alone the military households below.

    The families of those military households are not even much better than beggars.

    ????????????????? Chen Xiu-chang, a member of a hundred households, still has some conscience.

    Unlike other military officers who exploited the military households under their command, he worked hard to ensure that the military households could have enough to eat and not starve, and then he started some small business in Yangzhou City.

    In the past, it was easy to say, after all, the previous prefects were very sensible and would not provoke the business of the guards.

    But this time the governor of Yangzhou is an absolute weirdo.

    Since he took office, the merchants in Yangzhou City have been complaining a lot.

    This guy even set his sights on Wei Suo¡¯s business, making Wei Suo¡¯s businesses have to pay for it.

    Although the Wei Suo disagreed at the time, in the end, the arm could not twist the thigh. After the Yangzhou prefect read a copy, he gritted his teeth and allowed the prefect to plunder it every month.

    Just because of this matter, the Wei Suo has to contribute more than one hundred taels of silver to the prefect every month.

    You must know that the entire health center can only make more than one hundred taels a month from the income from these transactions.  It's better now. The Yangzhou prefect did nothing but took away 80% to 90% of the profits.

    The remaining 10% was left to the guards, so that everyone could fill their bellies, but only to fill their bellies.

    From this point it can be seen that the Yangzhou magistrate is indeed greedy and does not even allow others to take a road.

    Therefore, when Chen Xiuchang's cronies heard that he was in trouble and that something big might happen if he didn't succeed, they were filled with joy.

    Didn¡¯t you say you were a civil servant?

    Don¡¯t you consider yourself a gentleman with the knowledge of reading?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? You always look down on us rough guys, saying that we are all bastards and so on, but now you think of us when something happens?

    Has he forgotten how he treats us?

    hey-hey!

    I won¡¯t care about this.

      It would be best for the pirates in Yangzhou City to make the matter bigger, so that the Yangzhou prefect will be distressed and eventually lose his official position.

    "But the big guy looked at his boss, Chen Xiuchang of the Hundred Households, as if he wanted to send troops to deal with the pirates and help the prefect overcome this difficulty.

    Therefore, Chen Xiuchang¡¯s cronies couldn¡¯t figure it out.

    Logically speaking, the adults in the family hated the Yangzhou magistrate so much that their teeth were itching, so it was impossible to take action against him this time.

    "I think everyone doesn't understand why I sent troops to help that dog officer, right?"

    As a member of the health department, Chen Xiuchang actually said that the prefect of Yangzhou was a dog official. Didn't he know that his statement even got involved in him?

    However, it can also be seen from this that the character of the Yangzhou magistrate is indeed not very good.

    Even Chen Xiuchang, who is a member of the officialdom, calls him Dog Official let alone the common people.

    "Yes, my lord. My subordinates simply can't figure out why your lord would take action?" the confidants on the side responded.  However, the tone was a bit cold. It seems that his close friends had certain opinions on this matter and his decision.

    Chen Xiuchang understands this very well.

    ¡°Everyone has been squeezed by the Yangzhou magistrate for so many years. It is impossible to say that there is no resentment in our hearts.

    ¡°Maybe, among the people under me, there might be someone who hides at home with wooden shoes every day and beats the prefect¡¯s villain.

    ¡°I need to give everyone an answer to this matter, otherwise the Wei Institute¡¯s popularity will be lost.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: 100 families in a poor sanitation center and 100 families in a sanatorium are not on the stage at all, do you think they are Jin Yiwei?

    It would be different if you were a member of the Jinyi Hundred Households.

    "I know everyone is confused about this, but you will know why I did this after listening to what I said."

    As a master of one hundred households in a guard station and in charge of one hundred military households, someone like Chen Xiuchang has no airs about his subordinates. He is considered an alternative existence in the Ming Dynasty.

    "However, it was precisely by virtue of this method and the way of doing things for everyone that Chen Xiuchang won the unanimous support of the guards.

    It can be said that in this poor household, Chen Xiuchang is still very popular.

    "Oh, so Sir, you have your own considerations?"

    The cronies looked at each other, and one of them asked.

    Chen Xiuchang nodded: "Of course! Of course I have my own considerations, and this matter is also an opportunity for us." When Chen Xiuchang said this, his eyes flashed, "This dog official squeezed both of us.  Over the years, at least more than 2,000 taels of silver have been squeezed out of our miserable guards. If this money had not been given to him, everyone's life would not be so difficult now."

    When talking about this matter, everyone in the room gritted their teeth. It was really hateful.

    "What do you mean, sir, is it our turn to exploit that dog official this time?"

    One of the confidants was smarter and reacted immediately, understanding the meaning of the words of the adults in his family.

    Chen Xiuchang responded with a smile: "You have to spit it out if you eat it. It's not an easy thing for this dog officer to come to our heads. I guess he was also driven into panic by these pirates.  It is indeed impossible to deal with him. So we have to find several thousand taels of silver from the dog officer."

    It turns out that this was Chen Xiuchang¡¯s plan.

    Don¡¯t you want my help?

    no problem!

    Just bring the money.

    "If there is no moneyit would be hard to say.

    "Sir, this dog official is a famous iron cock, a thing that can only get in but not get out. Can he agree to our condition?"

    Someone asked worriedly after thinking about the character of the Yangzhou magistrate.

    "The pirates broke into Yangzhou City. These pirates even arrogantly took away a prisoner from the magistrate's office. This shows that the magistrate of Yangzhou is really a useless person. If this matter spreads, what impact will it have on him?  Do you think it¡¯s big?¡±

    Chen Xiuchang looked at his cronies with a smile and said.

    His cronies nodded after hearing this.

    "Yes, if this dog officer wants to continue fishing, then he must not make this matter a big deal. Then he must get rid of all these pirates in a short time. And heWhen people are no longer useful, we need to take action.  In the face of future and money, he has to make a choice.  "

    "More than that, the magistrate's yamen allows pirates to come and go as they please. If this news reaches the ears of other big shots in the court, I think this guy's position will be unstable."

    The smile on Chen Xiuchang¡¯s face became even thicker.

    "However, with the wisdom of this dog officer, he would not have thought of this. He must be seeking to deal with those pirates as soon as possible as soon as possible. In this case, the initiative will be in our hands."

    Baihu Chen Xiuchang stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist tightly and shook it vigorously.

    "I promised to send troops to help him, but whether I can help him or not depends on his performance. What do you think?"

    Is there anyone who doesn¡¯t understand this meaning?

    So, the cronies around also laughed.

    "Yes, yes, if the force is not strong enough, we men will not be able to catch those pirates."

    One of them even made a joke.

    "Okay! Gather all the military households now. One person from each household. Let's enter the city immediately!" Chen Xiuchang stood up and gave the order loudly.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
