Chapter 25 Assumption of office

On the morning of February 5, 1625 (7 o'clock to 9 o'clock), under the leadership of the head of the Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of War, a military department surnamed Shi, Yang Feng came to the Jiangdong Gate Qianhu Office located in the west of Mochou Lake.

The head of the Qing Officials Division was named Shi Kai, in his forties, of medium height, and he still had a long sigh under his chin. This guy has been in the dark since this morning, as if Yang Feng owed him 800 yuan and didn't pay it back, he finally got into the carriage and swayed to the Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households, and the time had come (9 o'clock to 11 o'clock).

To say that Yang Feng also spent a lot of blood in order to take office today, yesterday he went to the horse market under the leadership of Yang Laishun to buy a Huang Cong horse, which cost Yang Feng one hundred and fifty taels of silver, and Yang Feng was so distressed that Yang Feng couldn't do it, but Yang Laishun also said that this horse was worth buying. Yang Feng quietly calculated again, what is the concept of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, which is equivalent to 100,000 Huaxia coins in later generations, and must be worth the price of an economic car, it seems that whether it is ancient or modern, the price of transportation has never been cheap.

After Shi Kai took Yang Feng to the Thousand Households, a deputy Thousand Households led the Zhenfu, the officials, and a number of leaders such as the Hundred Households, the Shi Bai Households, and the General Banner to come over to pay homage to Shi Kai and Yang Feng.

After the two sides met the ceremony, the stone chief pointed at Yang Feng and said lightly: "Everyone, this is your new agent Qianhu, in the future, he will be responsible for all the affairs of Jiangdong Qianhu, you don't have to go to the military department to bother us if you have anything, just find Lord Yang, do you hear clearly?" ”

"Hear me!" Everyone replied sparsely.

"That's good." Master Shi nodded nonchalantly, "In that case, the official will go back first." After speaking, he didn't wait for everyone to speak, and raised his legs and got into the carriage.

"Master Shi, please stay!"

Before Yang Feng could speak, a dark and stout man burst out of the crowd, ran behind Master Shi and said with a smiling face: "Master Shi, since you have come here, how can you not drink a glass of water and wine before leaving, if you leave like this, wouldn't it make people laugh at the people of our Jiangdong Gate Thousand Households who don't understand etiquette, I hope you will enjoy your face, come in and drink a glass of water and wine and then leave it!" ”

Seeing that this man's originally honest face showed an almost flattering smile, the originally indifferent face of Chief Shi also showed signs of "thawing", but he turned his head and looked at Yang Feng, who was standing beside him with an indifferent look, he was angry, and snorted lightly and said: "You don't need to drink, as the so-called words don't speculate for more than half a sentence, Geng Deputy Qianhu, you can drink it yourself, the official still has something to do, so go back first." ”

After speaking, Chief Shi was about to get into the carriage, but before he could go in, he heard Yang Feng's voice from behind: "Master Shi, you are leaving, you can not send it away!" ”

Master Shi's figure stumbled, and he almost fell off the carriage, only to see him turn his head and glared at Yang Feng hatefully, and after redoing it, he shook the curtain hard to cover the whole person, and then said hatefully: "Go ......"

Yang Feng ignored the carriage that had already gone back, turned his head to the officers standing beside him and said, "Everyone, Master Shi has already gone away, what are you still doing standing here, hurry up and go in!" ”

The officers glanced at each other, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed in the eyes of several people, and finally it was the deputy Qianhu surnamed Geng who gave everyone a look, and everyone lowered their heads.

Everyone's reaction fell in Yang Feng's eyes, but he didn't say anything, he had already been prepared for this situation. After all, reality is not a fantasy novel, and the situation where the tiger's body shook and came to worship in all directions would never happen, and after taking everyone's reflections into his eyes, Su Jin took the lead and walked forward.

Seeing that Yang Feng moved, Deputy Qianhu sighed lightly and took a step forward and said, "Lord Qianhu, please come with your humble position." ”

Under the guidance of Geng Deputy Qianhu, everyone walked into the Jiangdong Gate Qianhu Office, and the Huang Cong horse that Yang Feng rode had already been led down to feed the forage.

Qianhu in the Ming Dynasty was an independent town, and Yang Feng felt the cold wind blowing in his face while walking, and the cold wind kept carrying some snow particles and hitting his face. Fortunately, Yang Feng's body had become abnormal after being strengthened by several crossings, so this cold had no effect on him.

After entering the health center, as far as the eye can see, the Jiangdongmen Thousand Households Office is like the small rural towns in the remote mountainous areas in the seventies and eighties of the later generations, most of them are earthen houses, thatched huts and the like. On the street, there were a few people in ragged clothes who were shivering from the cold, or some sloppy people squatting or standing in various corners, looking at Yang Feng and the group of officers who followed him with awe.

There are a few streets in the guardhouse, except for the main street leading to the Senhu House and the government office, which is paved with large bluestone, the rest are dirt roads. Snowflakes fall on it, freezing these places hard. Bleak, no popularity, no vitality,

Looking at these ragged people along the way, Yang Feng turned his head to ask Geng Vice Qian on the side and asked in surprise: "Geng Deputy Qianhu, these people are all from our health center?" ”

Geng Deputy Qianhu said in a low voice: "Exactly! ”

"Is our guard house already poor enough for this?" Yang Feng really couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, what kind of place did people stay, this was even poorer than the village that Yang Feng encountered when he first crossed over, in the terminology of the twenty-first century, this did not have the conditions for human survival!

"My lord, the guards and thousands of households in the whole world are actually the same, and the guards in our Nanjing realm are actually better, if you go to the border to have a look, they are not as good as us." A slightly fair-looking young man interjected.

"Ergou, shut up!" A middle-aged man in his forties reprimanded, and then said with a smile: "Lord Qianhu, young people are not sensible, don't take it to heart." ”

"It's okay, I'm ...... This official is not an unreasonable person. Yang Feng said lightly, but he had already remembered the appearance of this young man in his heart.

After walking around the Thousand Households, Yang Feng also observed the entire Thousand Households. In addition to the main streets and lanes, the buildings in the fort also have living facilities such as temples, archways, and wells in addition to residential buildings. In addition, there are also important military facilities such as barracks, military granaries, and horse farms.

Not only that, but even the Ordnance Bureau, the God Hangar that "specializes in collecting firearms", and the Gunpowder Bureau have them. Outside the guard station, there is also a school ground for sergeants to practice and a martial arts hall for officers to command and rest.
