Chapter 277

Chapter 277 Give me a favor

Chapter 277 Give me a favor

The Song Dynasty did not close the doors every night to carry out a curfew, like the Tang Dynasty, like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and needed road guides or street offices to issue letters of introduction.

The Song Dynasty was an open dynasty. When merchants and hawkers entered and left the city, they did not need to pay urban sanitation fees. The merchants and hawkers set up stalls on the streets of their motherland, and no one came to smash and rob according to law.

Therefore, Wang Xiaochuan, the head of Du, appeared at the city gate for road inspection, which shows...

Wang Xiaochuan took the initiative to introduce: "Who said it wasn't strange? Well, right? County Magistrate Meng suddenly ordered us to conduct road inspections at the city gate from today, and we will conduct continuous inspections for ten days without asking what to do? Chengxinlang, do you think that the county Magistrate has encountered something unpleasant recently?... Well, I heard that his family is talking about marriage now. Could it be that the marriage is not going well, so I will vent my anger on my subordinates?"

Wang Xiaochuan is the son of the old master of the Meng County Magistrate, so he is less respectful to the county Magistrate.

Shi Chuan suddenly realized: Fortunately, Qu Magistrate Qu was confused, and fortunately, County Magistrate Meng wiped his butt. The yamen runners appeared at the city gate, not to arrest suspicious people. Fifteen yamen runners scattered to four city gates, and if they were in two shifts, each city gate could only have two people. What can this manpower do?

County Magistrate Meng was controlling the fire. He set up a yamen runner to warn those who were cheating on the wrongdoers: they wanted to make trouble elsewhere, and the city was ready.

Grandma’s, isn’t this harming neighbors?

If the troublemakers do not come to the city and the government does not go to the countryside, will the countryside be harmed by disasters?

Shi Chuan thought about it and pointed his hand behind his back, not far from the east gate: "I went to the guild hall for a walk, and after I came back, I was busy and just went to see how the guild hall was doing?"

Wang Xiaochuan's eyes lit up and he quickly came up: "By the way, Chengxinlang, I have never recruited a servant for your property. Now, look, I am standing at the city gate, and it looks really bad. Do you have any leisure time with a thousand people on the left slim street? There are not many people to support me, and each city gate supports ten people for ten consecutive days. How about it?"

Shi Chuan didn't want to get entangled, and while walking outside the city, he replied: "Ten people a day, four city gates require 40 people, and four hundred people need to support him in ten days... I'm cheating, why are there so many servants? Didn't I pay the exemption money?"

Wang Xiaochuan chased Shi Chuan closely and begged: "Recognize your favor, accept your favor, can you help me? Who else can mobilize a hundred people in the whole city besides you Shi Dalang? Give me personal favors."

Seeing that the Jinxiu Guild Hall was almost here, the people coming and going on the street had already greeted Shitushi. If they continued to get entangled, they would have missed their business. Shitushi sighed and asked, "Does the yamen control food?"

"Cei Xinlang, I came to the yamen to recruit servants, and they all brought their own dry food... Human favors, Dalang, you said I would not mobilize dozens of people to stand guard at the city gate in the name of the servants, so those people can only appear in the name of the servants - Human favors, Dalang, give personal favors."

Try it on and ask again: "But the people who want me to ask about the people coming in and out one by one?"

Wang Xiaochuan replied with a wry smile: "Dalang, after all, you are a member of the government. How can the law enforcement power of the officials be granted casually - these people just stand there and put on airs so that we can seem to be crowded and powerful. In fact, the government didn't ask us to check anything, right... I just pretended to be not tired of living. I must always think of this favor."

"This favor is so great," Shi Chuan replied jokingly: "Since I rectified Zuoxie Street, Huabangzi's income has been quite high. Huabangzi, who has been weak for decades, can also sweep the streets on two streets and earn money for purging the streets. The daily wages of 400 people are a large sum of money. In addition, they stand for the government office, and the clothes are neat. The government cannot pay the cost of the clothing, so I have to pay the money..."

"Clothing..." Wang Xiaochuan was overjoyed: "I gave it back to the clothes. I knew that Dalang could always do the best in doing things, and to be in love. Dalang, when will they be allocated? Hurry up, my friends are tired from standing up."

Shi Chuan bowed his hand and said goodbye: "Wait, I will ask them to report to the east gate immediately, and then you can transfer it."

He had already walked to the entrance of the Jinxiu Guild Hall, and it would be impossible not to come in. Shi Chuan entered the hall under the diligent reception of the manager, but he had no intention of checking the accounts now. He flipped through the account book casually, encouraged the manager to express Wang Xiaochuan's request, and explained: "The industry in our Jinxiu Street, Zuoxiu Street is getting bigger and bigger, and there will be no one to covet it in the future. This time, since the government borrowed people from us, we were to drive a sheep and a group of sheep, and we should use this name to build our own security guards.

Please carefully select the ones who have families, are more powerful, obedient and honest, and give them uniforms. In the future, they will no longer have to carry bags on the docks. They will be divided into several shifts to be responsible for the inspection and security of two streets. As for the salary, they will double their salary according to the proportion of the earnings of the docks. In addition, there are four seasons clothing, which will be distributed to ten kilograms of meat subsidies every month - but from now on, we will participate in training...

Talk about this condition to Huabangzi, and then we choose slowly - there is no hurry to do this. Wang Xiaochuan wants forty people every day. Let’s pick out forty people every day. Don’t be idle if the rotation is replaced. I will send a coach from Cuizhuang to ask them to practice martial arts and practice body..."

A manager hesitantly interrupted: "Four hundred, there are a little more. Master, these are idle people who don't do anything. It costs a lot to support four hundred people at once."

This manager is good at managing the business, and always wants to save money for the boss. Shiteng pointed to the manager: "You are you, and you will be responsible for this group of people in the future, and you will be responsible for recording attendance and salary... Indeed, if you feed 400 people at once, you will be divided into levels. Four hundred people will be trained first, and after a period of time, the eliminated people will go to the dock to work as usual.

Of course, there are a little more than two hundred people. We will eliminate half of them in a while. However, the people who have been eliminated this time are considered our reserve security guards. Even if they go down, they will still enjoy our subsidies - clothes, meat, and not worth a lot of money. They will give them all. However, the reserve team members have to reduce their uniforms by one level, and the exercise must continue so that they can be added to the official team members at any time in the future..."

Jinxiu Street is just under the eyes of the prefecture and county government offices. It was difficult to establish force in private, but now Wang Xiaochuan’s request is given a chance - outside the prefecture city, it was originally under the jurisdiction of the county government office, and Wang Xiaochuan owed a favor, and this force was established by his request, and he helped conceal it... Hoho, finally, he finally expanded his power to the city gate.

After another change of thought, Shi Chuan sighed deeply again - it's a pity that what he wants to deal with is the most inhuman Qing cavalry of this era. Now he can only organize his manpower at most and dare not give them military training at all. However, the Great Wall was not built in one day, these things... the ship will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.

The managers agreed repeatedly. After they went out for a while, the temperature in the house suddenly dropped and rose. Soon, the manager recruited twenty or thirty strong men to choose from. Shipeng was not very picky. He casually pointed to ten men and asked them to go to the appraisal shop to choose a gray dress, leaving a short-shot clothing design drawing, and then led these people to the east gate to report - so the famous gray dress team in the history of the Song Dynasty was born...

When Shizhang was selecting team members with great fanfare and patrolling his own territory, another figure that looked like Shizhang quietly walked out of the Jinxiu Hall and walked all the way to Cuizhuang... That night, Cui Xiaoqing in Cuizhuang was singing the wind and moon in his garden. A black shadow suddenly climbed into the wall scared her. Before Cui Xiaoqing called someone, the black shadow greeted: "It's me, don't say anything."

At this time, the sky had just turned dark. With the help of the last little twilight, Cui Xiaoqing saw the other party's face clearly, and his cheeks were not flushed, and he cursed, "Tsk, is there anyone like you? What I want is open and upright, why is it so sneaky?"

Shi Chuan lay at the base of the wall and moaned: "Come here to help me... Oh, it's not easy to maintain two clones at the same time for so long."

Shi Chuan, who was used to being strong, accidentally showed a weak expression, which made Cui Xiaoqing feel soft. She couldn't help but walk forward to support her, muttering: "Fortunately... the Zheng sisters just returned to the hospital and said they were going to go to Wenshu for the exam tomorrow. If you come sooner, let them see... I, I, I will die for you."

When Shi Chuan got closer, he realized that Shi Chuan was weak and not pretending. The muscles on his face were beating from time to time, and inexplicable spasms continued to occur on his body. Cui Xiaoqing helped him sit down at the table, quickly poured him a bowl of water, Shi Chuanlian took a few sips, and breathed evenly: "It's okay now, after this time, the life in the future will be easier."

"What?" Cui Xiaoqing slapped her weakly and weakly and put her on her: "Say such shameful words..."

Shi Chuan blinked, stunned for a while, and sighed: "It's really a chicken and a duck. What we are talking about is not the same... What's the situation in the village? How about the group training in the village?"

Cui Xiaoqing wanted to be muttering, but immediately the words Shitong immediately pulled away: "I was thinking about this matter... After Mr. Fang came back, his workshop was completely stopped. The people in the workshop had nothing to do and were running around in the village. I was panicking about this, thinking whether to come forward to take care of it. However, the group training is in the hands of your family, and I can't command if you are not there."

"I just came back not long ago - now the team training is in progress, what's going on?"

"Oh, now the group training is all Mr. Mu is supervising. Our Cuizhuang Wuxiang Tuanshi has a regular commander, with a total of 150 people. These 150 people are divided into three commanders. The two commanders are from the Shi clan of your Baihu Villa. They usually work as managers in the workshop and serve as the "main commander" of the group training. The remaining commander is from the Yu family, but the commander of the Yu family is mostly a strong man in your courtyard.

Also, there are thirty servants in your yard who play with swords, guns and sticks every day. I guess you can hit it twice if you pull it out..."

"Then you go and call Mu Shun secretly, I have something to tell you."

Cui Xiaoqing pushed Shi Chuan away, stared at him from a distance, and murmured, "Why did I see your expression on your face again?"
