Chapter 588: Add Officials (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival)
But after seeing Zhaoziying's style, everyone was disappointed. Zhaoziying didn't leave the camp at all. The only opportunity to deal with outside was to exchange defenses for each other in the empty yard and the martial arts hall inside. More than a hundred people were arranged in neat formations and went in and out, and there was no chance to deal with them.
Some people also think that there will definitely be troubles in the camp all day long, but they have made a wrong judgment. They practice hard every day, so what are the thoughts to go out?
The only thing that can penetrate is the "Zhao Family Martial Arts Hall". The people here are all from the martial arts world, and they seem to be no different from the various religions and creators in the Qingjiangpu market. They act roughly and unrestrainedly, and they often see them riding horses and galloping on the streets and alleys every day.
Such people only have silver women in their eyes, so it will definitely be easier to win over them. Those who are very determined want to use means to win over them, but they only use means here. Within three days, the company owes "giant debts" and directly sells the property to pay off the debts, and then goes to work in the north to pay off the debts.
After several such incidents, the people in Qingjiangpu finally became silent and followed the rules honestly.
In fact, Zhaoziying did not set any rules in Qingjiangpu. It was nothing more than collecting money for hiring cars from various shops. For such a common commission, anyone who controls the situation here will have to do it. Zhaoziying doesn’t even receive much revenue.
What everyone finds strange is that Zhao Ziying seems to attach too much importance to chariots and horses. Not only do they merge the big carriages, but they also have to buy chariots and horses from various businesses in the city. This makes Qingjiangpu want to attract people to transport goods, but only by looking for Yunshan Chexing on land. However, when Zhao Ziying bought other carriages and horses, he did not rely on his strength, but used a very generous price.
Although a few animals and a large cart are nothing, they cannot hold back the large amount, and the money they took out is quite considerable. Zhaoziying still paid cash in cash, which made Qingjiangpu once again realize the strong financial resources of Zhaoziying. No one would have thought that Zhaoziying from Xuzhou could have so much cash in cash.
From November of the 45th year of Wanli to April of the 46th year of Wanli, Wang Zhaojing took away 13,000 taels of silver from Zhaoziying, but did not explain its usefulness.
Zhao Jin and his friends knew about this, but they didn't ask, because Wang Zhaojing said hello in advance and said that he would talk after the matter was done. If not, the money would be exchanged.
Moreover, Wang Zhaojing arranged for his family to send to the capital. According to the news that Zhao Jin received, Wang Zhaojing had frequent letters with his father in the capital during this period, and even had to borrow horses and riders from Zhao Yinggong, otherwise his family would not be enough.
"He doesn't know how to flowers indiscriminately, nor does the Wang uncle. If he wants flowers indiscriminately, he won't have started now.
Wang Zhaojing's performance was really strange. The people around Zhao Jin made reminders of this and that, and Zhao Jin's answer was also very simple.
However, with Zhao's current financial resources, taking out this money will not affect anything. There is too much gold and silver accumulated in the bank deposit.
As time enters March, greenery is getting stronger and farmers are starting to be busy. For all walks of life, this year is officially beginning, but the Zhaozi Camp has begun to become a little relaxed. Since the Spring Festival, the Zhaozi Camp has been on guard. All the teams are on standby, ready to fight the surrounding enemies and ready to drive towards Qingjiangpu at any time. Now, the situation in Qingjiangpu has gradually stabilized.
"There is the most effective sword and gun in this world. Qingjiangpu is so big and rich, it is worth mentioning in front of our Zhaoziying." Although Qingjiangpu's victory was full of twists and turns, it didn't take much effort for Zhaoziying. It's no wonder Jixiang had such an understanding.
Zhao Jin could already clearly feel that the people around him were not only impetuous Ji Xiang, but even as calm as Chen Huang and as calm as Cao Ruhui, they became more and more confident. After repeated victories, everyone felt that Zhao Yiying was omnipotent, which made Zhao Jin a little worried. Confidence is a good thing, but confidence should not become arrogant, and not be able to control it.
It was already April 16th, and Zhao Jin had taken off his cotton coat. He had watched various training in the camp, and then looked at the accounts with Ruhui and returned to his study.
On Zhao Jin's desk, there was a wooden box, which was usually not locked. Although the maid Xu Zhenzhen sent to clean up was very curious, she knew that the importance of the matter was not touched. Moreover, the maid also saw that Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui had taken out a notebook in the wooden box, wrote and painted, and put it back.
At that time, the maid thought she had seen something she shouldn't have seen, so she hurried back to report it. She thought if these two were peeking at the secret, Xu Zhenzhen asked Zhao Jin casually before she understood.
The wooden box was filled with news from the di newspaper and the capital. Without sentences and paragraphs, Zhao Jin would be very troublesome to read. Ru Hui and Wang Zhaojing wanted to mark him.
Wang Zhaojing has always insisted on doing this matter himself, and even was unwilling to interfere in important matters such as accounts. Ruhui was doing good deeds and not only did not argue, but she would ask Wang Zhaojing for details on accounts and Zhaoziying before dealing with them.
However, in addition to planning the Qingjiangpu area during this period, Wang Zhaojing focused more on communicating with the capital, so Ruhui needed to do something.
After taking out a copy and reading it, Zhao Jin felt a little bored because the content in it was not as good as his needs. There were very few contents about the Dongyi Juzhen. Occasionally mentioned it, it was also auspicious words such as the enemy's chiefs who had many killings and hurt each other, and the likes of Tianyou Daming.
That moment must have been getting closer, but I don’t know when it happened, and I can’t do anything now. It’s really hard to wait like this, and the only thing I know is that it’s going to be soon.
"Are you here?" Wang Zhaojing's inquiry came from outside, and his voice interrupted Zhao Jin's thoughts.
When Zhao Jin was in the study, there was no need to pass the news when his friends entered, but everyone was used to saying hello and told him by themselves.
Shortly after the words were finished, Wang Zhaojing walked into the house, smiled and nodded, first went to the table to put the newspaper on the residence where Zhao Jin was thrown aside into a wooden box, and then said, "I have sent so much money to the capital. I believe the elder brother and brother are very curious, and I want to ask my elder brother to forgive me. It is a big deal to do this."
"Everyone is curious, but there is no forgiveness. You won't be careless. If you cover up like this, you are just afraid that I won't let you do it." Zhao Jin waved his hand and said. After being together for so long, they really understand each other very well.
Wang Zhaojing was stunned, coughed twice, and said awkwardly: "Is it your own clever again?"
"Stop talking about those useless things. Since you mentioned them today, you think you have a good idea. Tell me quickly, talk quickly, don't be fond of your appetite," Zhao Jin urged with a smile.
Wang Zhaojing smiled and shook his head and said, "I'm just a little bit."
With a self-deprecating sentence, Wang Zhaojing said with a correct expression: "Brother, the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is the official body. If you have a fame and official body, you will naturally have a wealth of wealth. If you have a fame and official body, you will not be able to protect your family. No matter how big your family business is, you will not be able to protect it. Sooner or later, the stars will scatter. In our Zhaoziying, there is such a big situation, but our brothers do not have this protection. It is really too risky."
In the Ming Dynasty, officials and gentry were far superior to the common people. With fame and status as an official, the king could do nothing. They could calmly annex the land and take advantage of it. Without these, you were just fish on the chopping board, and even the lowest-level white-body gang in the yamen could extort, and you had no way to resist.
Of course, some local tyrants are armed with weapons, and they have soldiers in their hands. They ignore the government and do whatever they want. However, the government just cares about such powerful people. If they really have to be serious, they ask the court to send troops and mobilize local civil and brave troops to practice, and they will be pacified in an instant, which is not worth mentioning at all.
However, the existence of Zhao's name is a complete exception and cannot be calculated according to the established principles of the Ming Dynasty.
Hearing Wang Zhaojing say this, Zhao Jin's face darkened and he said in a solemn voice: "Our official status is actually not small. Who can compare to the censor of the Censorate of the Censorate? How many such young juren are there in Xuzhou?"
The censor naturally said that Wang Youshan, and of course the young juren was Wang Zhaojing.
"Brother, in addition to this, our uncle's hundred households, the chief constable of the Chen family, and the thousand households of the Dong family, these identities are also official positions, the Xuzhou generals, the various yamen in the city, and even the Qingjiangpu, we can find relationships in the yamen. This is also the protection of the official position. With these, we can protect the powerful people in the yamen." Wang Zhaojing said as Zhao Jin's words.
After saying this, he changed his tone: "Brother, these can't protect our Zhaoying. Although there is nothing in the local area, you can protect each other, but what if the governor sends someone? If the monk really invites a document and order to come and take us with great fanfare? Then these are far from enough now. Our fathers and elders are too weak, and those relationships will disappear. What should we do then?"
Zhao Jin still looked solemn, stood up and looked at the direction of the schoolyard, and said in a deep voice: "If we really get that step, we still have the strength."
This was very confident. Wang Zhaojing smiled and said, "Of course we can protect ourselves, but some things are always good if we can avoid being very active. If we can get rid of it in a few words or spend some money, why bother to get out of control? Besides, we may not be ready at that time?"
Zhao Jin shook his head, stared at Wang Zhaojing and said in a solemn manner: "It is not difficult for us to ask for an official position, but if we have an official position, the servants will be officers and soldiers. At that time, will they respect us or the court? If they can't hold on to this power, how can the current sea of gold and silver be preserved? In the future?"
