Chapter 22: One Hundred Households

In desperation, Wu Zheng decided to go back to the dock first.

Anyway, at least no one in the hall today has objected to the refugees he brought to the landing?

Let’s take them back to Wuzhuang first.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng headed towards the dock.

"Sir Wu, wait."

When Wu Zheng heard this, he first looked around and saw that there was no one on the left and right, and then looked back.

I saw Zhang Huangyan coming in a hurry.

"Mr. Zhang... is calling for a humble position?" Wu Zheng asked carefully. For Zhang Huangyan, he always felt like he saw his relatives, just like his nephews meeting his elders and younger brothers meeting his elders.

As soon as he asked, Wu Zheng's nose felt sore without any reason and felt infinite grievance.

Zhang Huangyan rushed over and scolded with a smile: "Apart from you, are there anyone nearby?"

"Hey, Lord Wu can't be called a humble position anymore. You are now a sixth-rank 100th household promoted to His Highness. Speaking of which, it is time for the subordinate to call Mr Wu a humble position."

Wu Zheng asked blankly: "Is what Your Highness said just now still counting?"

Zhang Huangyan was stunned, then laughed and said, "Absurd. How could your highness, in front of the civil and military officials, not counting what you say? I think you are young and do not know the pros and cons, and you will not dare to question Your Highness again in the future. This is a crime of insult."

Looking at the wetness in Wu Zheng's eyes, Zhang Huangyan curled his smile, "What? I feel very wronged? A young hero who killed more than 100 Tartars would even cry?"

Wu Zheng sucked his nose, lowered his head, and replied in a muffled voice: "I just wanted to kill the Tartars, but I didn't expect... it's so difficult!"

Zhang Huangyan was a little shocked by Wu Zheng's words. He pursed his lips and looked up at the sky. He sucked his nose like Wu Zheng, "It's really difficult! But if it weren't for this, how could the Yangyang Ming Dynasty be occupied by hundreds of thousands of Tartars? As a wise minister, you and I have done our best to be loyal to the king's affairs and have no guilt... That's it."

Speaking of this, Zhang Huangyan looked at Wu Zheng with an almost doting look, as if his brother was staring at his younger brother.

The resonance of the soul is not born, but perhaps just a moment of feeling.

Many times, just a moment is enough to be a confidant and trust one's life and death.

Zhang Huangyan grabbed Wu Zheng's hand and said, "Follow me, Your Highness is still waiting to see you."

Wu Zheng was shocked, "What did your Highness do when you see me?"

"You'll know when you go."

....

Zhu Yihai, 28 years old, has the natural sensitivity of the royal family.

The struggle of power has long been well versed in the way of speaking and observing words.

Just one glance, Zhu Yihai had already judged that Wu Zheng had shed tears, but Zhu Yihai didn't understand why Zhang Huangyan cried?

However, this doesn't matter. In Zhu Yihai's opinion, since Wu Zheng came to see him, it would be enough to explain everything.

"Wu Baihu, why? Do you feel wronged in your heart?"

Zhu Yihai hit the point, but he guessed the result correctly, but the process was wrong.

The ending is important. But the process is more important.

"Gou understands that it is reasonable to be awarded the deputy Qianhu with your merits, but you must understand that Gu is for your own good. At a young age, one step to the sky will surely attract criticism from others. The trees are in the forest and the wind will destroy them. It is not a good thing for you."

Zhu Yihai's words make sense. Wu Zheng is not a mere sentry official. He can be promoted to three levels to a hundred households in a row, which is enough to attract attention. If he is suddenly promoted to a deputy Qianjia, it will indeed cause others to covet and criticize. This has nothing to do with credit, it only depends on qualifications and background. Just like the full-time job of Qianjia, it is basically impossible for people like Wu Zheng to fall into the head of a family.

People say something terrible, but spit can drown people.

Wu Zheng understood it, and he bowed and replied: "I killed the Tartars because I was not promoted or promoted, but just for the unjust souls who were slaughtered by the Tartars and my uncle who could not rest assured. The slightest merit was favored and appreciated by Your Highness, and I was already uneasy. How could I covet evil again?"

When Zhu Yihai heard this, he applauded, "Listen, listen! How good this is, it is rare to see through fame and fortune at a young age. Zhang Shangshu and Qian Aiqing, in this court, some people are in high positions, but they are greedy and do not want to be loyal to the country. They are planning the little bits of profit in front of them every day. They should let them listen more to these words."

Zhang Guowei, Qian Sule bowed and replied: "What the country in charge said is very true."

Zhu Yihai turned to Wu Zheng and said, "Wu Zheng, Gu has consulted Shangshu Zhang, the eight counties of Shaoxing Prefecture. Now the most suitable person is Lianghu Qianhu House. You can go there to take office. First, it is close to Wuzhuang, and second, Gu also wants you to do an errand."

Wu Zhengwen was very happy when he heard this. The Qianhu Qianhu family was only 40 or 50 miles away from Wuzhuang. If he rode a horse and rode a horse, he could reach it in half an hour. This was indeed Zhu Yihai taking care of himself.

"I thank Your Highness for your kindness. If Your Highness gives you an order, I will definitely serve you."

"Okay!" Zhu Yihai said loudly, "That's right, the Qianhu Qianhu Qianhu houses are registered and the 720 soldiers (120 people under the jurisdiction of 100 households), but they have not been fully organized. Wang Yilin from the hundred households serves as deputy Qianhu. Gu heard that the number of soldiers in the garrison was severe, but everyone sent people to check, but no abnormalities were found. Now the war is urgent. If the Qing army goes south, they will use the soldiers of the garrison. Gu is worried that something will happen."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yihai looked at Wu Zheng's eyes and said solemnly: "After you go, you will still be under the jurisdiction of Wang Yilin, a hundred households. But in private, you must secretly check the registered personnel of the garrison to find out if there is any empty salary. Within half a month, I will hear the reply."

Wu Zheng replied: "I will definitely live up to your highness."

"Although you have a hundred households, you have more than 300 people under your command, and you can have three hundred households. Two hundred households except you... It is temporarily vacant, which is also conducive to your rule. If you have less than 100 households, you will not interfere with the orphans of military positions below 100 households. You can decide the candidates and report them to Zhang Shangshu for filing. What the orphans want is the result. As long as you do your best to do your business for me, the orphans will never treat you unfairly."

"Thank you for your trust."

"As for those hundreds of people, just do what you want, but being a ruling country alone is not easy to ignore it. In this way... the person comes, carry the box up."

The two guards carried the eldest son's camphor wood box up.

Zhu Yihai pointed to the box and said to Wu Zheng: "This thousand...uh, there is still one box?"

The two guards looked at each other.

Zhu Yihai shouted loudly: "Why don't you go and carry it?"

The guards quickly went out and carried another box.

Zhu Yihai continued: "These two thousand taels are the private property of the orphans. You can accept it and settle the people well. It is a kind of intention of the orphans to settle the people."

Wu Zheng quickly refused: "I dare not ask for Your Highness's private property."

Zhu Yihai pretended to be angry and said, "I will ask you to accept it if you want it. How can I get so much nonsense?"

Wu Zheng had no choice but to respond: "Then I will accept it for the people. After I go back, I will inform you. The court will tighten my responsibilities. Your Highness will use his private property to save the people. "

To be honest, Wu Zheng did not deliberately flatter Zhu Yihai.

Wu Zheng could hear that Zhu Yihai had only prepared 1,000 taels.

Perhaps it was because of his answer that matched Zhu Yihai's wishes that the second box was created.
