Daming Yinghua

Chapter 193 Give Me the Soldier

Chongming Dongsha, county government.

The guard walked into the office with his arms full of charcoal, bowed his waist, and said courteously, "My lord, the good charcoal Yao Qianhu got from Taicang, the little ones will be added to the basin for the lord right now?"

Yue Yunhong, magistrate of Chongming County, put on his sable fur collar, his eyes fell on a piece of mansion newspaper on the official case, and he gave a cold "hmm".

While the guard was adding new charcoal carefully, another guard rushed in from the direction of the court in the front yard and reported at the door: "My lord, the lady from Songjiang is asking to see you."

Only then did Yue Zhixian raise his head, squinted his eyes, and asked, "The one who brought a bunch of hillbillies from the Northeast to farm?"

"Master Hui, it's that woman, the second master is talking to her."

Yue Zhixian said lazily: "Call me in."

Then he said to the officer who added the charcoal: "Go, go, don't mess with it, this good charcoal, don't let outsiders take advantage of it to warm it up."

Both guards left.

Yue Zhixian rolled his eyes, and skillfully pulled out the "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" that had just been banned from publication by the imperial court under a pile of official documents, folded his body and stuffed it back into the locked treasure chest behind him.

While cursing bitterly.

"National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" was originally an erotic novel that was widely circulated. After it was banned, Yue Zhi County finally got it.I didn't finish reading last night, and when I'm on duty today, I'm going to eat the last few chapters.

When he read sentences such as "crushing the plum blossoms with sincere hands, splitting the lotus pods and cutting the roots", "the jade girl in the wind and moon field, the general in the cloud and rain tent", when he was in high spirits and applauded, he was interrupted every day, which was like a murderous heart. have it all.

When the county magistrate led Zheng Haizhu in, he saw Yue Zhixian buried his head in a table of documents, and sighed with emotion: "My lord is so busy with official duties, please take care of your health. For some reason, the spring plowing is over half, and the sky is still here." It's so cold you're shivering."

Yue Zhixian didn't agree with him, he just sorted out the official document a few times, raised his face, and showed a plain and sincere expression to Zheng Haizhu: "Madam Zheng, the leather goods you brought from Liaodong are really good, we It’s Qingshui yamen, and we can’t afford good charcoal. It’s been a cold spring for the past few days, so I rely on this fur collar to keep me warm. Wrapped in an official uniform, it’s a bit out of style, and I’ll let the majestic wife laugh at me.”

Zheng Haizhu now has a six-rank order, and her reasoning is slightly higher than the county lord in front of her. Besides, this is not the court in front of her, so she is not polite and sits on the armchair beside the flower stand.

"It's good to be warm. It's much more convenient after Songjiang is switched on and off. When I have recruited Liao people coming over, I will put more old ginseng on the boat to supplement the elder master and the second master."

Yuezhixian and Xiancheng met each other's eyes, the smile on their faces faded, and they leaned forward slightly, with the expression of "confidentiality" written all over their faces.

"Mrs. Zheng, you are new here, and you are taking good land in the county. In the past few days, the magistrate of Yang County has asked the tolerators to go to your place to inspect frequently, because he is afraid that the troublesome people in the Qingpi business will cause trouble. Is the magistrate Yang ah?"

Yang Xiancheng cooperated and said: "That's not true, my own tenants were beaten for fighting for the canal, and I didn't bother to go back and have a look."

Zheng Haizhu heheed: "Elder Master, Second Master, those fields of mine are not abandoned land, they belonged to Yao Qianhu. Which Qingpi trader in Chongming County dares to disturb? Besides, Yao Zongwen, the brother of Yao Qianhu, is now He is a popular person in front of Mr. Fang Ge, ordinary people don’t know, how can the two masters not know? In Chongming, I am afraid that there is only one who is as upright and loyal as Granny Tang, who dares to go out to find Yao Qianhu’s bad luck.”

"Hey, Ma'am is amazing. In a few days, she touched the bottom of our Chongming."

Yue Zhixian clicked his tongue and flattered, but his heart was full of fire.

You troublesome woman who can't get married, you turn a corner and scold me for being unfaithful and evil?

Yuezhi County continued to show misery on the face, and modified his tone to be more helpless: "Oh, Madam Zheng said this, not only to ask the teacher to blame, but also to know the difficulties of this official. Madam Zheng, you are Su Song's Donglin civil servant. Yao Qianhu, who was recommended to this county, is backed by Zhejiang people, Donglin faction and Zhejiang faction fought from Chaotang to Nanzhili, but tell me, what should I do if the old man is caught in the middle?"

Zheng Haizhu stared at him: "What should I do? Isn't the old master doing a good job? It's like playing Tai Chi, and the hot potato was pushed to me."

The magistrate of Yue was embarrassed, and the county magistrate Yang took up the compliment and said: "Ma'am, you have a broad-mindedness. It's not like a rough martial artist who only has thunderous means. Then Grandma Tang hasn't come to the county government to make troubles in the past few days. I heard that she didn't go to Suzhou mansion again. Madam comforted me properly."

Zheng Haizhu said solemnly: "I am not appeasing Mrs. Tang, but respecting her. Two masters, Mr. Tang was here decades ago. He rushed out with a big knife, hacked and killed the Japanese pirates, and kept Chongming safe. With this in mind, I am willing to offer her as a Bodhisattva to the descendants of Tang Gong, who is still daring to ask for life for the people at my age, not to mention good words. I am willing. Those The descendants of Chongming veterans who have come back, there are a total of [-] households and [-] people, my Zhuangzi, take them in."

When Yue Zhixian heard it, he didn't immediately feel relieved.

It is said that this woman surnamed Zheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Yang Xiancheng also thought to himself, how can there be such a good thing, it is likely that the terms will be negotiated later, and the county is not allowed to give her a false report of the stove field, and allocate some turf fields for the veteran's family to plant.

Zheng Haizhu did want to raise conditions, but it was not for nothing to rub the court's fields.

"Two masters, apart from Yao Qianhu's coastal defense military equipment in Chongming County, did they originally have a Japanese village in Nansha? It was originally under the jurisdiction of the General of Chongming. During the time of Lord Jiajing, the village was in charge of a general level. Lord Jun?"

Yue Zhixian didn't know why she asked this, rolled his eyes, and pretended to recall: "Well, it's been decades ago. When I took office, I heard Yao Qianhu talk about it. But Nansha Over there, isn’t it near your Zhuangzi, Mrs. Zheng? Where is there a camp?”

Zheng Haizhu pursed her lips: "After Longqing was switched on and off, Beiwazhai was gone, and the general manager was transferred back to Taicang. However, this battalion position and the number of small five hundred soldiers are still in Chongming County, right?"

"Ah, uh, yes, there is this amount of troops."

Yue Zhixian was still in a daze, so Yang Xiancheng seemed to have realized something.

"Madam Zheng wants to support the family, so use this amount?"

Zheng Haizhu nodded bluntly: "How did I get this order? I helped the court fight two big battles against foreign aggression, in exchange for it. The frontier army and navy of the court asked my firearms factory to order guns. Well, the two gentlemen also know about it, and said without bragging, if I were a man, I’m afraid I’d already been promoted to General Qianzong. Now, I’m reclamating in Chongming. It is also difficult to accept a thousand households. Besides, Yao Qianhu said that he will not trouble me in the future, and I will support my family. Isn't it good for the family to use the troops of the Nansha camp?"

What Zheng Haizhu said was the difference between military households and battalion soldiers in Daming.

The military household is a concept under the guard system, which is hereditary from generation to generation.Chongming is located at the gate of the East China Sea. There was a guard post at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The military households farmed the fields in peacetime and defended them in wartime.Today's Yao Qianhu is the head of the guard, he doesn't train hard, but he is very active in occupying the fields.

The battalion has no concept of "household registration", let alone hereditary. Recruitment from all over is the main source of battalion.The famous Qi family army is the battalion soldiers.

Yue Zhixian squinted his eyes and murmured to himself, "Brother, little Chongming is really going to have two tigers, and one of them is a tigress."
