Chapter 115: Determination (Part 2)
Chapter 115: Plan (Part 2)
At this time, the curse of the forbidden
The curse of the ban is finally no longer two or three kittens. These days, some thirteen or fourteen-year-old children with spiritual power have been picked up, with more than thirty people.
Of course, these children can really become talented, but there are only one-tenth of them, but there are more than one period.
Su'er and Tong Xuan Pingzhen are waiting.
A moment later, a ninth-rank official from the Secret Pavilion came over. The man calmed down and raised a volume of metaphor orders: "The Marquis of Shu has an order!"
Su'er, Tongxuan and Pingzhen three knelt down.
Officials from the Secret House launched the Melody Order. The format of this volume is actually similar to the imperial edict. It is three feet long and one foot wide, but it is made of red silk. In Su'er and Tongxuan's eyes, there is a red cloud of clouds on it, spreading.
"You are loyal to your duties and have made contributions to building Baozhong Temple in various counties. You have specially promoted the first grade of the mantra, the eighth grade of the mantra, the ninth grade of the mantra, the ninth grade of the mantra, the equal to the order officials, and the equal to the sacrificial officials, the same as the order!"
The following seal is "The Marquis of Chengyun Shu". The three of them kowtowed and responded: "Yes!"
As soon as the words were finished, a trace of white energy spread across everyone. Su'er was originally a rank ninth grade, but now she is a rank eighth grade. Her luck has more than doubled. Tongxuan Heping has really changed from a rank ninth grade, and her luck has also increased by 50%.
The three of them all showed a hint of joy. This level is the supplies that can be obtained. After the level is raised, there are many things that the yamen can do.
However, Su'er lives in the inner palace and gains more than this luck.
Su'er rolled up her life, put it in the hall for offering sacrifices, turned around and said, "Tongxuan, Shu Hou is paying attention to Jingzhou. You can also go and see what people are in Jingzhou this time."
After hearing this, Tongxuan bowed slightly and smiled: "Dare you not obeying your order?"
Su'er nodded and said, "Our company has some contact with Thirteen Departments. This time, Thirteen Department sent someone to follow Zhang Fanzhi to Jingzhou, and you can go there too... By the way, who is this Zhang Fanzhi? Have you ever met?"
Tong Xuan thought for a while and said, "This general has a good face. He can be the governor. He is a general, so there is no need to be suspicious!"
Su'er didn't say much and stood up and left.
Three days later, Zhang Fanzhi, who had clearly obtained the order and was responsible for the heavy responsibility of recruiting and investigation, left Chengdu Prefecture and headed towards Jingzhou.
There was also a caravan accompanying him. The caravan was from the Song family, but there were naturally people from the Thirteenth Division. The ones accompanying him also had Tongxuan.
Along the way, I passed smoothly and took a boat down the river.
Jingzhou has outstanding people and rich resources, a long history and splendid culture. It has been known as a cultural country and a land of fish and rice since ancient times. When the boats walked straight down, they arrived in Jiangling.
Jiangling has long been the capital of Chu State "Ying", and has long existed as the capital of Jingzhou. It is often called Jiangling by "Jingzhou".
The place where the dragon energy of Chu or Jingzhou is Jiangling.
As soon as I got to the shore, I saw that the huge pier was very prosperous at this time.
But as soon as he got ashore, a few patrolmen came towards him and called to stop.
The captain of the patrolman, who looked in his thirties, had a beard, looked up and down with sharp eyes and shouted: "Stop, who are you and which chamber of commerce?"
"Jiang Ye!" The leader of the caravan led by the caravan hurriedly greeted him and said with a giggle: "We are the old business in Beifu, specializing in tea business, and are preparing to go to Yangzhou... Passing by Guifang Baodi, staying for a night, and leaving... Our Chamber of Commerce has registered here, this is the road guide - please check it out."
The patrol captain checked the road citation documents, which had three marks on them, but did not return the road citations and looked around.
The caravan captain was calm and took out a string of money from his waist and handed it to the patrol captain. He said with a smile: "There are some goods on the ship, but most of them are empty. When I come back, I bring in tea and tea bricks... I wish you and you a cup of tea. If you are worried, come in with us and check it out."
"You know what." The captain of the patrol weighed the money and said to the patrol with a smile: "It's a serious businessman, let's go somewhere else!"
After that, I took the people there.
Zhang Fanzhi didn't say anything, but looked at this familiar and unfamiliar city and smiled bitterly. Seeing that the patrol soldiers were gone, he led the people forward and skillfully.
I found a medium-sized store "Zhulou" Inn. The rooms are upstairs and downstairs of the hotel. There are people coming in. There are drinkers on the table of Eight Immortals, singing, singing, and making noise.
The group followed the waiter to live in a house upstairs and rented four rooms.
Tongxuan, Zhang Fanzhi, and the serious captain of the caravan gathered together and discussed briefly.
"Mr. Zhang, I've arrived in Jiangling. There is a local Qianji Trading Company, a small Trading Company, which is not noticeable. You are the escort owner of this caravan. The people from the Thirteen Division are your guards. Someone will contact you later. Remember." The caravan captain said, "I can only stay here for one day and go to Yangzhou tomorrow."
"I don't care, there is my supporter here," Tongxuan whispered.
The caravan captain nodded and took out a box. He saw that it was arranged in a row like dumplings, all of which were white silver ingots, and the crystal clear eyes were shining.
"Each ingot is ten taels, and a box is one hundred taels. Please take half of each according to the prior instructions."
I took out two more boxes and opened them, and saw golden gold bars inside: "Mr. Zhang, this is the gold that the Lord Bus gave you, three hundred taels of gold!"
Zhang Fanzhi was instantly straightened his eyes. Three hundred taels of gold is three thousand taels of silver.
Zhang Fanzhi has been dealing with the water thieves and knows that the life of the water thieves is very hard. Water thieves are desperately fighting to rob, some can rob, while others cannot. The source of income is just to rob some merchant ships and sell them for some money. The problem is that the robbed property has to be exploited by black market merchants and can only be sold for about 30%.
Overall, ordinary thieves can make money by making money. The little leader can earn more than ten cents a year, and only a few thousand cents a year will make a profit. It is already very heavy to use these 300 taels of gold as a gift.
Zhang Fanzhi picked up the gold and said, "This is my original hometown. I am very familiar with you, don't worry."
Tongxuan received fifty taels of silver, heavy, and said with a smile: "It's enough to have this little money. Jiangling is still very prosperous!"
"Jiangling is adjacent to the Yangtze River in the south, the Han River in the north, the Bashu River in the west, and the Hunan-Guangdong in the south, and the seven provinces are the thoroughfares. Why is it not prosperous? This is really a rare place, but the checkpoints are very heavy." The captain of the Chamber of Commerce sighed and said, "This is all for war, building a navy and a large army, which one does not cost money?"
"Hmph, these levels have long been controlled by local wealthy families. Half of the funds received can be reached in the Grand Governor's Office. Even if it is not the case, we would not have been able to pass through without any obstacles." Zhang Fanzhi was familiar with people and said sneer.
After sneering, he remembered the Battle of Wuling and knew that Jiangling and Wuling counties had fallen into Zheng Pingyuan's hands. Zheng Pingyuan rewarded 30,000 taels of silver to the navy, and promoted many navy generals.
How could he not know the situation of the Jingzhou Navy?
There is only one reason for the great victory of Jingzhou Navy this time, that is, his former friend was re-appointed by the Grand Commander.
In this case, if you become a lobbyist yourself, it will be very effective.
Originally, they were just friends of gentlemen, but these friends were not much better than themselves in the past. Now they are back in power and each is their own master. I am afraid it will be difficult for them to be persuaded to abandon their official positions and leave again.
However, Zhang Fanzhi believed that it was true that Zheng Pingyuan appointed some poor talents, but it was impossible to exclude all the children of the wealthy families. Therefore, the position was limited and it was impossible to have one.
"Zheng Pingyuan is indeed a hero, but only my Lord is Allah. The Lord Jianba talent is unconventional, loves the people as much as his son, and promotes benevolent government! As we have been running outside for a long time, we feel this more and more!" At this time, the hundred households of the Thirteen Division who were accompanying him said with a smile.
"You're right." Zhang Fanzhi agreed with this when he thought of his past experience in Jingzhou.
The talents you know will definitely not be all appointed by Zheng Pingyuan. There will always be some talents buried. You can invite them to the Shu army at this time.
Zhang Fanzhi felt a fire in his heart. This time, he not only completed the lord's entrusted, but also advised some old friends who were not successful to abandon the secret and turn to the light.
However, he knew that Zheng Pingyuan was powerful and did not dare to alert the enemy. He said to the Thirteen Si Baihu, "We cannot start here easily. I will give you a list. You can send someone to secretly inquire about the news on this list, and mark all those promoted and those who have not been promoted."
As he said that, he took out a roll of paper with thirty names on it.
"Don't worry, Governor Zhang, this list only takes seven days and will be investigated clearly." The Thirteenth Division Hundred Households took it, glanced at it, and said.
"Well, but we have to go to Dongming Lake first. Zheng Pingyuan is still very powerful and cannot alarm the enemy. When we recruit the navy, we will contact each other again on the way back, and then return to the army." Zhang Fanzhi said smartly.
What Zhang Fanzhi wanted to recruit this time was the thief from Dongming Lake.
The leader of the thief, Xing Dahai, had some friendship with him and had a very good relationship. When he went to persuade him, he was 70 to 80% sure that if he got this thief, there would be about a thousand people.
The Thirteen Divisions and Hundred Houses who accompanied them only escorted all the way and secretly supervised them. As for how Zhang Fanzhi completed this mission, it had nothing to do with them, so they naturally ignored it.
At present, the three of them were divided into three groups, each saying goodbye to their own tasks, and each doing their own tasks.
When Zhang Fanzhi and Tongxuan left, the captain of the Chamber of Commerce breathed a sigh of relief and went out to give instructions. After listening to the instructions, the waiter rushed to get water for him to wash his face and feet.
The captain of the Chamber of Commerce washed, cleaned up, and then went downstairs to have dinner.
Several people from the chamber of commerce booked a table. One person saw the whole hall joking and making fun of each other, and then he smiled and said to the captain: "They finally left. To be honest, every time they walked with these people, they were all uncomfortable."
The captain also smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way, who told our boss to have an order? There is no need to say more here, so I won't be able to reveal my voice!"
"That's right!" The other people couldn't help but smile. When they were about to say something, the pawn hall brought a large plate of steaming food and food to the mat. They stopped talking at the moment. They raised their glasses and said with a smile: "But it's finally done, come on, I'll give you a glass!"
Chapter completed!
