Chapter 502: Eating and Drinking Lazar
The sixty horsemen who were pushed out by Director Yang were all poor workers of the horse factory.
At first, when they knew that they were sold by the factory director to the Wei eunuch, the crowd was surging with emotion, and then they knew that they had no choice but to hug their wives and cry bitterly, and the scene collapsed like the end of the world.
Later, Eunuch Wei met with them, encouraged them in a gentle voice, and gave these horsemen ten taels of silver on the spot, which only made these horsemen happy and couldn't believe it. When many people received the silver from Eunuch Wei, the tears on their faces had not yet dried.
The horse workers work in the horse factory, and they can have a three-five-two entry in a year, even if the factory director and the pipe head are gracious. Eunuch Wei suddenly gave one of them thirty-two years of salary, and gave ten taels of silver to settle in, which was higher than the head of the pipe, and the talent who taught people could not keep up, how not to let the horse workers be ecstatic, everyone met a great good man.
Grandpa Wei, a good man!
Of course, Gonggong Wei is a good person, these horsemen are useless people in the eyes of Director Yang, at best, they are helping to wash horses and release horses, but in his eyes, they are the foundation of a strong cavalry.
The basis of cavalry is not in the soldiers, but in the horses.
Raise the horse well, serve it well, pass on the craft, and no amount of money will be worth it.
Sixty horsemen are seeds, and they are the cavalry seeds of the Wei army.
As for whether there is anyone who can ride the three hundred horses, Gonggong Wei is not worried at all, his hometown Suning has horseback riding genes.
In the early years, when Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelled, Suning Mahu was the backbone of the rebel army, and the rebel army was all cavalry. Although the horse politics now exists in name only, the old and young of Suning, regardless of whether they have horses at home or not, are no strangers to horseback riding, as long as they have the opportunity, they always have to get on the horse and ride.
The second uncle likes to ride horses when he is at home, and Liangchen also likes to ride horses, pushing up a few generations, it is difficult to say whether the ancestor of the old Wei family is the loud horse thief who fights the world with Liu Liu and Liu Qi.
Stimulated by the favorable conditions of food, shelter and even clothing, the sixty grooms quickly said goodbye to their families, packed up a few simple clothes and wrapped them, and followed Eunuch Wei without looking back.
They don't dare to move slowly, the news has spread to the entire horse factory, if they don't hurry up, there must be others who are jealous of this job, and they are involved in the activities of Director Yang.
Gonggong Wei only needs sixty, one radish and one pit, who is willing to give the silver in his hand to others.
Just like in the name of the people and bandits outside the customs, Gonggong Wei also wrote a note to Director Yang and stamped his own positive seal - the big seal of the internal officials, supervisors and supervisors.
The content of the slip is for commercial purchase, not for requisition.
The first sentence at the beginning is for His Majesty's maritime plan.
This is qualitative and cannot be questioned.
As for what His Majesty's maritime plans have to do with your horse purchase, it doesn't matter.
Holding the note, Factory Director Yang watched Eunuch Wei leave with a smile on his face.
When the people walked away, the smile on their faces instantly froze, and they looked at the strip in their hands and stomped their feet violently.
He couldn't help but tell him.
He can't afford to lose this face!
There is no one on the horse, there are no people, and he is not distressed.
What he felt sorry for was his own four thousand taels of silver.
It must be known that more than half of the 4,000 taels of silver is the expenditure of the horse factory this year. This means that he still has to pay out of his own pocket, otherwise thousands of people up and down will have to drink the northwest wind.
……..
"Father-in-law Xie cultivates!"
Zhao Ming was overjoyed, because Gonggong Wei rewarded him with an official, a horse head.
Gonggong Wei said that as long as he, Zhao Ming, manages and brings these sixty grooms well, he will find a real official for him in the future.
This is definitely good news and a good future for Zhao Ming.
He couldn't stay in the county, and the gang of people who were chasing heads in the yamen were not tight, and the friends who were fighting with him earlier looked down on him Zhao Ming, saying that he was unrighteous, betrayed his brother, and was a coward who was afraid of death.
Someone even said that as long as Zhao Ming dared to come back, they would break his two legs to pay tribute to the dead Second Brother Tan.
In this situation, where can Zhao Ming go?
Eunuch Wei was recruiting people all over the place, and he saw it in his eyes, his mind had actually moved early, but he was embarrassed to say it.
Now that Eunuch Wei opened his mouth, of course he immediately agreed.
To say that this Wei eunuch's hands are black, his heart is also poisonous, and dozens of lives are called to kill without even blinking, which is in response to the rumor that eunuchs kill people without blinking.
But this Wei eunuch is also interesting enough, everyone has money, they don't swallow it alone, as long as they do things for him, they will have money. Based on this alone, how many officials in the world can match him.
Zhao Ming is active, he is young, and his hands and feet are fast, since Eunuch Wei has rewarded him with an errand, then he will do it well. Maybe Eunuch Wei can really fulfill his promise and reward him with an official in the future. At that time, he will return to his hometown in fine clothes, and the scenery will be beautiful, which of those little brothers will dare to look down on him?
………
Because of the three hundred extra horses and a gang of grooms, Liangchen did not return to Lishu Village, and his father's stove could not cook so many people's food.
Coupled with the upcoming selection of troops, the pressure of logistics has suddenly become apparent.
When there are few people, I don't feel it, but when there are many people, eating, drinking, and Lazar has become a top priority.
After asking Xiao Tian to go to Lishu Village to tell his father and eldest brother, Liangchen led people into the city in the dark, and wrapped up the chase shop of the carriage and horse shop outside the east city to settle the grooms, and packed all the forage and bean cakes of the people by the way.
After leaving Zhao Ming and a few Flying Tiger soldiers in charge of the horsemen, Liangchen went into the city and slept in the inn for one night.
In the next two days, the recruitment registration is still ongoing.
Liangchen went to the county office, not to ask Yan Liang, the magistrate, why he didn't come to stand for himself that day, but to ask Yan Liang to help buy food.
In the end, Liangchen estimated that he would have to bring 2,000 people back to Beijing, so he must bring his own food for this journey, and no hotel or inn can accommodate so many people to eat and live at one time.
The largest grain merchant in Suning County is the Pan family, and Liangchen pondered that he went to buy grain, but most of the other party refused to sell it. He can do it to Yang Laohei in the horse factory, but he can't do it to the Pan family.
The nature of the two is different, the main thing is that the former did not save the soldiers at all. Yang Laohei is in the horse factory, and he is actually a piece of fat. It's just that the place doesn't dare to move, and he dares to move. But that's all, for the Pan family, who is doing business seriously, his father-in-law Wei also doesn't dare to move.
Yan Liang squeaked a few words, and pushed the matter to Wang Zhubo.
The king was simply down, and he went to buy grain for the good ministers.
The good minister left 1,000 taels of silver for the king's lord, which was enough to buy half a month's food for 2,000 people. The rest is to buy other daily necessities. At the very least, you have to buy a lot of straw paper.
After working hard for a while, it was finally time for the official recruitment.
The selection place was selected by the good minister in person, and it was impossible for so many people to gather in the middle city, not such a big place.
In the end, a place was selected in Sanweizi Village, two miles southeast of Datongpu.
There is an empty river beach in front of the village, and it is not a problem to accommodate a few thousand people.
…..
I recommend "Chongzhen Empire", written by an author who has the same pride and persistence as the bones. Although it is a new book, it is worthy of adoption.
