Chapter 269 Zhao Baozheng
"Dear fellow villagers, the government has asked Mr. Zhao to be the official in Hejiazhuang to protect the security of the country and ensure the safety of the country.
Someone shouted loudly, and every time he shouted, more than a dozen people shouted together, and then there were gongs and drums. Some people stood on the carriage and sprinkled a handful of copper coins out from time to time, which even attracted everyone to come.
Zhao Jin was the prime minister? Everyone was surprised at first, then they felt it was natural, and even felt that it was a clever person. Such an amazing person is qualified to be a prime minister. Only then can they become a prime minister?
Some people even talked about the Hejiazhuang, the village where the He family was destroyed by Zhao Jin, was located. Maybe this place would be called Zhaojiazhuang in the future. Speaking of this, everyone was envious. At this age, they had laid a foundation for their ancestors for generations. People were really incomparable to them.
Ordinary people were so troubled by the yamen, and the yamen runners had already come out to drive them away, but Zhao Jin was different. The quarrels outside were like this, and everyone in the yamen was watching with a smile.
The news about Baozheng may not be astonishing, but the money was too tempting. Not long after the gongs and drums rang, people from the three layers inside and three layers inside and outside surrounded them, and several streets around the yamen were squeezed out.
"Mr. Zheng sent a document to Mr. Zhao." Another shouted loudly. An official wearing an official robe walked out of the yamen, followed by several followers, and some people were holding wooden plates. Wang Zhaojing was seen wearing a scholar's green robe and quickly walked forward. After saying a few words, Master Zheng took out a document and a wooden plate from the wooden plate, and handed it to Wang Zhaojing very formally.
After Wang Zhaojing reached out to take it, he raised the document and wooden sign high, with gongs and drums and firecrackers roaring together, making full sound.
Everyone knows this Master Zheng is the Tongzhi of Xuzhou, the second-ranked second to Master Zhizhou. It is true that it is said that everything is fake. Only in front of this yamen, it is true that such a master sent it down by himself. It seems that the government also thinks that Mr. Zhao should give the title of Baozheng.
It turned out that Zhao Jin did such a big thing and had such a powerful force, but everyone always felt that it was a bit unreasonable and would not last long, but after seeing the situation today, it was taken for granted.
After Wang Zhaojing received the documents and wooden signs, he solemnly handed them over to someone beside him. The man held the documents and wooden signs and boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago. Then the gongs and drums were beaten and beaten. The gongs and drums of more than 20 people were driving the way forward, heading towards the west of the city. Every time he walked fifty steps, he stopped to shout a few words, set off a hang of firecrackers, sprinkled a handful of copper coins, and slowly left the city.
Originally, the momentum of making in front of the yamen was great. There was nothing in the whole city that was unknown to the whole city after leaving the city. It was even more unexpected that after leaving the city, it was still the same style. When I met a village on the official road, I stopped, beat drums and drums for a while, set off firecrackers and shouted, and attracted the people in the village, and then promoted the matter of Zhao Jin as Baozheng. Judging from this, I actually wanted to go from the city to Hejiazhuang.
It was lively outside, but Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu sat to drink tea in the cattle room. It was said that this was the act of his own children, but Zhao Zhentang didn't care at all. Chen Wu teased while drinking tea: "Your kid is really good at making trouble. After all, this kind of singing and playing music will cost a hundred taels of silver."
"It's more than a hundred taels, more than four hundred taels have entered. Do you think this is a troublesome? According to the boy's original plan, he wanted to parade the whole city, and then all the four counties in Xuzhou were looking for this. Isn't this a mess?" Zhao Zhentang replied angrily.
"If you really make such a trouble, someone will definitely not be able to see it. Some trouble will be caused in vain. Today, the situation is not small, and everything in the countryside will soon spread." Chen Wu said with a smile.
Outsiders looked at the big show, but no one thought Zhao Jin was making a big fuss, but they didn't expect that this was all intentional.
The government granted Baozheng documents, so there were many civil servants from the sixth rank like Xuzhou Tongzhi. Often, the official office had completed the documents, found the master to use the seal, and then sent the servants to send them to the public. Even if the procedures were completed, it would not be so serious. However, although the position of Baozheng was low, he had to be the governor. Moreover, the relationship between Tong Zhizhou and Zhao Jin was not good, so Wang Youshan came forward to help.
However, the government determined who was to protect the official position, but wrote a document in the yamen to report his body. There was no certificate that looked like a badge, and naturally there was no decent co-education in front of the yamen. This co-education, Lord Zheng, was willing to come forward with a benefit of 100 taels.
The reason why Zhao Jin did this was to let more people know about this matter, and the greater the impact, the better. From Wang Zhaojing in charge to Zhao Zhentang and Chen Wu who helped, they didn't understand.
"Your kid might be really happy to protect the position of Zhengzheng. This is too unpromising. Don't you have the status of a hundred households? With his ability, he went to the General Zhou Shen and paid a lot of money. Why didn't he have a position of Qian Zong? It's even better to be the eldest son of Qian Zong, and it's better than now." Chen Wu really didn't understand. Both sides were their own family members and they were chatting without a chat.
Zhao Zhentang smiled bitterly and shook his head, and replied helplessly: "If my family wants to join the army, do you think you have to wait for me to speak? Now there is still a way to care about him, let him go."
The gong and drum propaganda team walked on the road for two days. Hejiazhuang, which arrived at noon the next day, was so popular in the city that it should be celebrated more lively when he arrived at the main place of Hejiazhuang. But the carriage and horses arrived here, received the money and returned after a meal. Zhao Jin's goal had already been achieved, so he naturally didn't have to work hard.
It was almost the same as expected in advance. In less than a few days, the entire Xuzhou even knew that Zhao Jin could protect the position of Hejiazhuang. In a sense, this means that Zhao Jin is now a powerful force recognized by the government.
The imperial power is not inferior to the county. The most basic level of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty is the magistrate. Outside the county town, gentry are responsible for themselves. In a sense, Zhao Jin's Baozheng is also a kind of gentry, and has the function of replacing the government in managing the people of the people.
Compared to Zhao Jin's news about Baozheng in Hejiazhuang, Ruhui, the original monk of Yunshan Temple, became the new abbot, which was very low-key and almost no one knew about it.
"The Nanjing Monk and Taoist Office has been approved, and Ruhui, the abbot, deserves his name." Liu Yong said the news he received in the city.
Ji Xiang thought about it and hurriedly said, "Brother, this has almost ten days passed, and Ru Hui has no indication at all. Does he want to cross the river and destroy the bridge?"
If Zhao Jin had not led the crowd to raid Yunshan Temple, Monk Ruhui would naturally have no chance to take revenge, and would not have the chance to become the abbot. Afterwards, it would have been silent, which made Zhao Jin's friends very unhappy.
"Ruhui is a smart person, let's wait for another five days." Zhao Jin said in a deep voice. The fields of Yunshan Temple in Xuzhou, tenants and shops distributed in one prefecture and four counties are all very important resources for Zhao Jin, and he could not give up.
After saying this, no one else said anything. Zhao Jin added: "From Hejiazhuang as the center, draw a circle from Wuli. There are two Yunshan Temple industries. Daxiang and Xiaoyong go there once in three days, so that they can hand over the grain production and other things in the future."
The person who was named after the name agreed immediately, and Zhao Jin said again: "Now the riding skills in the inner and outer city of Xiaoyong City have made great progress. We brothers should not be left behind. We must practice hard. Those who are learning to ride horses below cannot relax, do you understand?"
The friends all agreed. Now the training is on track every day. The veterans' team has been running for half a day and equestrians every day, and they have worked hard.
Among the old cavalry, several people went back to recuperate. Luan Song and eleven others stayed to teach equestrians, horse riding, and experienced people taught. Everyone made rapid progress.
Liu Yong is often followed by the three brothers of the Qi family when he goes back and forth in the city every day. After experiencing that war, the three brothers of the Qi family all have a little bit of a heart-wrenching intention. With the power of Zhao's name, it is a place where you can continue for a long time.
Tao Gui and Qian Yong, a group of characters from the world, died and injured a lot in the night battle. Some died in the shooting of bows and arrows, and some showed off their ability to charge when they went out to fight and left the team. As a result, they suffered a great loss. On the contrary, Tao Gui and Qian Yong were both cleaned up by Zhao Jin when they signed up. They knew they were powerful, but they abide by the rules and were lucky enough to be safe and sound. After this incident, they could calm down and train.
Zhuang Liu was valued by everyone. In addition to Zhao Jin and his friends, the recruits also felt that this person was outstanding, with outstanding archery skills and martial arts. He was calm and composed. He was obviously better than others, but he never showed off his own strength. He put in enough training and did not feel special at all. Dong Bingfeng has mentioned it several times, saying that such a person is a pity to be a archer in the direct-level team. It is better to be placed in the recruits and even the veterans team to get more training and growth.
The development of these people was as expected by Zhao Jin, and it was consistent with his original personality and background. What surprised Zhao Jin was that his relatives, Zhao Song and Zhao Wan, had good riding skills. I think they got the exercises they received during livestock trafficking.
Li Can looked at Han Pang, but was actually very smart and flexible. When he was charging out that night, the recruit team he was in was accidentally falling down. It was in chaos at that time. Everyone thought that the team was dead and was about to collapse. It was Li Can shouting and gathered the team and rushed out. Although he had no martial arts skills when he was in the battle, he had a ruthless spirit. The team where Li Can was in was the only one who had a lottery on his body, but he also killed two enemies.
As for the dull and restrained He Zheng, everything is normal. No one said he was timid, nor did anyone say he was brave. However, Ji Xiang's father in the kitchen had a good impression of He Zheng, saying that when the young man helped in the kitchen, everything was arranged in an orderly manner, and he had a very accurate estimate of food and materials.
This information was reported with others, but no one knows their relationship with Zhao Jin yet.
The reason why Ji Xiang and Liu Yong were asked to go to Yunshan Temple farm near Hejiazhuang three days later is that Zhao Jin wanted to establish a sphere of influence, and there could not be any enemy within this sphere. The reason why it was three days later is that on March 24th, Zhao Jin wanted to hold a wine tasting party in Hejiazhuang, and all the powers would be guaranteed at that time.
The news that Zhao Jin became a Baozheng had just spread. The merchants who bought wine in Hanjing winery and those who couldn't buy it were all thinking about taking this opportunity to give gifts to congratulate them, to raise their relationships, and to increase their share, at least not to reduce them. I never thought that before they could take action, Zhao Jin had already sent a post to go to Hejiazhuang to attend a wine tasting party.
Everyone knows that there is a big winery in Hejiazhuang, and they also know that Zhao Jin is going to brew good wines that are no less than the famous Hanjing wines in the city. This wine tasting party must be the wine. Everyone is excited and ready to go over and take a look. What arouses curiosity is also the content on the post. Zhao Jin said that they would bring some Hanjing wines in stock.
Although Hanjing famous wines are in short supply, each store has left a few jars of mobile phones or drinks by themselves, so the inventory is easy to find. They are packed in small jars or wine jars and gourds, and they go there one after another when the time comes.
On March 24th, the sun shone brightly. Yu Yu was cleaned in the He family compound, the ground was flat, and water was carefully sprinkled on it to avoid causing dust. The merchants in the village and the chefs of several inns and carriage shops were busy. Although they could not make any delicious dishes, they had to prepare many servings for simple dishes.
The part of the He family courtyard near the winery is now full of wine jars, accounting for almost one-third of the courtyard. Now the courtyard is full of people, not only the merchants in the city, but also the cattle and horse merchants from the Mule and Horse Market have come to join in the fun.
On the other side, Zhao Jin walked up to the pre-built wooden platform. After he went on stage, he first clasped his fists as a tribute. The merchants below returned the gift in panic. Now who dares to be treated as a tribute to Master Jin?
"The wine you can deliver here every day is four times that of the wine shop in the city. Now there are 800 jars of stock. That's all, everyone will not misunderstand that I was transported from the city, right?"
"How is it possible? Whoever has so much luck has been targeted by someone for a long time. He will think about how much money he has made." Looking at Zhao Jin's words with a smile on his face, there were also many people below. A bold one started to cheer and answered, which immediately caused laughter.
Zhao Jin nodded with a smile, and said again: "It's still the same rule. You can taste every jar. If you don't taste it, you can't buy it. Before you taste it, drink some of the stock in your hands to see if it's the same."
He said it very simply, and there was no need to talk too much, because these rules had been set a long time ago.
The businessmen below were a little sensation when they heard Zhao Jin say this. Now that Zhao Jin's reputation is here, everyone is cautious in front of him. No one dares not to come after posting, and no one dares not to buy it. Even if the jar is filled with white water, everyone will pay the money obediently. Unexpectedly, it is still the same rule that they can taste it first and then buy it.
After saying that, Zhao Jin waved his hand. No matter how he was, no one dared to act rashly. After leaving, everyone could relax. It was similar to what Zhao Jin thought. As soon as he left, a merchant stepped forward and ordered five jars. The servant immediately brought the five jars of wine, opened the mud seal, and used the wine to make the wine. The merchant took out a gourd I carried with him, took a sip of the gourd, and drank another sip of the jar, nodded while drinking. After drinking, he shouted and said, "Take the five jars over again."
When he made this statement, the others immediately realized the trick. Everyone was rushing to be the first, for fear that they would fall behind and get less. Everyone was very careful, for fear that there would be something wrong in these 800 jars. If others picked up all the good ones, wouldn’t they suffer? You should know that this wine is not sold, but how much it is sold, and one portion is the money you get.
"The taste of this wine is probably better than that in the city."
"The water is good, the music is good, the food is good, and the pot has been made for many years."
"No wonder I'm going to destroy Mr. He"
"If you drink too much, shut up if you don't want to cause trouble."
Fortunately, there are many servants in Zhaoziying. Not long after, every jar of wine was opened, and then everything was bought out. One reason was to take advantage of the alcohol, and the other was to be excited about making money. Everyone was asking how to sell wine next. The output here is higher than that in the city. Everyone can get more and earn more.
"Like the city, from now until June, the daily production here is three times that of the city. You can calculate according to this." This is the reply that has been arranged long ago.
"The output is too high, and the price may not be reduced. Now this wine is not just drunk in Xuzhou and nearby prefectures. It is said that many people drink it in Shandong, Beizhili and Henan. According to our current output, many people want to drink but cannot drink enough. Our output has increased. People who are near can drink more, but people from farther away may also drink it. In the end, our wine is still not enough. In such a situation, how can the price fall? It is also appropriate to rise." Zhao Jin and his friends explained.
Seeing the lively wine tasting and buying wine, Liu Yong was worried that the price would drop if he produced too much wine. Zhao Jin explained with a smile.
"As long as you say, our current price is low, so they are willing to mention it," Shi Manqiang said.
Zhao Jin smiled again and shook his head: "Our profit now is already amazing. As long as we can maintain this price and continue to increase the amount, it is enough to maintain our situation."
Everyone seemed to understand it, but looking at the excitement in front of them, everyone knew that this represented a big investment, and everyone was smiling.
While talking, they saw the dick of the three brothers of the Qi family walking over quickly and bowing ten steps away. Everyone was stunned. Zhao Jin nodded, and Qi Er ran over.
"Mr. Jin, there is a man with a naked upper body outside, kneeling a little outside with a coffin, saying that he wants to see Mr. Jin. He said that it was Fu Chuchuan, a subordinate of Kong Jiuying." Qi Er reported.
Chapter completed!
