Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 61 The Wind Rises

Since Li Yan became the Chief Epidemic Control Officer in Gyeonggi, he took advantage of his power and used the cronies of Hong Niangzi to secretly search for Zhu Cihong and other three princes.

Unfortunately, no relevant clues have been found so far.

Moreover, Li Zicheng has been sending people to look for Zhu Cihong and the three of them. The daring impostors found a few, but they really didn't find any.

Li Yan knew that one of the purposes of Aimee Zhu's stay here was to find Zhu Cihong and the three of them. Hearing this, he couldn't help showing guilt, and said, "Your Highness has entrusted me with trust, so far I haven't been able to find any traces of the three princes."

Aimee Zhu was not surprised to hear this answer.

If Li Yan found the traces of Zhu Cihong and others, he would definitely tell her on his own initiative, and if he didn't say anything, he didn't find them.

Just thinking that the whereabouts of the three brothers are still unknown, and they don't even know whether they are alive or dead, she is still unavoidably worried and sad.

Seeing this, Hong Niangzi said: "That guy Liu Zongmin wants to be handcuffed, and with his temperament and the virtues of those under him, it will definitely cause chaos in the capital.

When the time comes, we won't have to worry so much when we search, maybe we will find news about the princes. "

Aimee Zhu knew that Hong Niangzi's words were mostly to comfort her, but she still felt a lot better after hearing it.

···
The eighth day of April.

With Liu Zongmin's implementation of the policy of copying wages to the letter, the nightmare of the officials and honorable officials of the Ming Dynasty in the capital city began.

From the prince Zaifu of the Ming Dynasty to the minor officials of the eighth and ninth ranks, they were all included in Liu Zongmin's salary.

Although Liu Zongmin's copying of salary was not completely random as some unofficial history said, it was also extremely overbearing.

He made a special list, and asked the demoted officials to pay money as salary based on factors such as the size of the official position and the amount of family property of the demoted officials of the Ming Dynasty.

And he also confidently told the downgraded officials of Ming Dynasty the reason why he did so——

'Um, the lack of pay for the Dashun Army is secondary, mainly because almost all of your downgraded officials in the Ming Dynasty are corrupt officials.

The reason why the world is corrupted and the people are in dire straits is because of you corrupt officials.

Find out about the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and then look at your current family property, and you will know how much money you have embezzled.

Dashun asked you to pay money and salaries to give you a chance to redeem your crimes.

Therefore, you demoted officials should not only resist the pursuit of stolen goods and pay, but also be grateful to Dade. '

Liu Zongmin's remarks are not only justified, but also very logical.

Therefore, he felt that as soon as the announcement was sent out and those Ming officials were informed of their downgrading, those people should actively send money over.

As a result, one day passed, and there were only a few dozens of officials and nobles from Ming Dynasty who came to give the money, and none of them paid the "dirty money" in full according to the amount he asked for.

Even these people still cry poor with him.

It used the method used to deal with Chongzhen in the previous two times.

Some people came wearing patched clothes, some sent their family members along the street to call for property sellers, and the brave even invited Liu Zongmin's generals to eat at home.

What they eat is not delicacies from mountains and seas, but simple tea and light rice, and even rotten vegetables.

Although Liu Zongmin didn't know what happened to Chongzhen, he was not Chongzhen.

He was born as a poor peasant, worked as a beggar, and later worked as a blacksmith for a long time.

After joining the Chuangjun, I don't know how many families of rich gentry and wealthy families have been destroyed, and I know all about the ability of such people to pretend to be poor.

Besides, the rich gentry and wealthy households he caught when he was a bandit were all so rich, how could it be possible that these downgraded officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty had no money?

Therefore, Liu Zongmin discussed with the generals under his command, and felt that he had to be tough, otherwise these Ming officials and nobles would think that their Dashun army was easy to fool.

Then Liu Zongmin asked the craftsman battalion to make thousands of sticks overnight, and at dawn the next day, he dispatched soldiers and horses, and asked the generals to bring people to pick up people according to the list.

If the person is caught and given another chance, if he is still unwilling to pay the dirty money in full, then serve him with a stick!
All of a sudden, in the capital, especially the inner city, many officials' houses were broken into by the Dashun Army.

In the afternoon, all kinds of screams came from Liu Zongmin's camp...

Liu Zongmin's copying salary didn't have much impact on what Aimee Zhu, Li Yan, and Hong Niangzi were going to do.

For Li Yan, the general manager of epidemic control, he even felt that his work was much more convenient.

Because in the process of preventing and controlling the plague, those Ming officials and nobles relied on their status, whether they were soft or hard, and they didn't like to cooperate with the epidemic control work.

Now Liu Zongmin's people have shown the domineering and brutal side of the Dashun Army. If Li Yan's people go to fight the epidemic, these Ming officials and nobles will be more obedient. I am afraid that Li Yan's people will be offended, so I will follow suit Liu Zongmin's people are generally tough.

Apart from learning the skills of governing the political army with Li Yan and Hong Niangzi every day, Aimee Zhu spends most of her time carrying rations and resting.

In addition to rest, I did not forget to actively learn all kinds of modern knowledge.

It's just that compared to the huge amount of modern knowledge, no matter how hard she works every day, what she understands is still a drop in the ocean.

Hao Guangming's main focus is on opening a store.

It took a few days for the pharmacy in Xihe Town to be renovated according to Hao Guangming's request.

The location of this pharmacy in Xihe Town is not good, it is at the end of the street near Wollongong.

Even so, it takes twenty minutes to drive from Wollongong to the store in the town.

The store is not too big, only about 100 square meters, and it is divided into three areas.

Shelving areas, functional areas and warehouses.

There are six shelves in the shelf area, and based on conventional medicines, tens of thousands of yuan worth of medicines can be placed at a time.

The functional area refers to the cash register, toilet, and instrument room—some medicines need to be processed before they can be given to buyers.

As the name suggests, the warehouse is for storing medicines, and there are all the hardware facilities needed to store medicines, such as refrigerators and thermostats.

In addition, during the decoration, according to Hao Guangming's request, an anti-theft door was opened from the back to enter the warehouse.

In this way, he will be able to buy and ship goods through the back door in the future, which is enough to deceive people.

Now that the pharmacy is open, it is natural for someone to watch the store.

It is impossible for him to stay in the town drugstore all day, so it is necessary to recruit a cashier.

Considering that in the future, when he takes medicine to help Aimee Zhu, it is inevitable that the store staff will see something, so he thinks twice and decides to recruit an acquaintance.

The eldest granddaughter of the neighbor Uncle Yu, Yu Weiwei.

According to Hao Guangming's understanding, Yu Weiwei is 22 years old this year, and her grades in elementary school are not bad, but in junior high school she is very average. In high school, she is obsessed with surfing the Internet, making up, dating and other things.

So in the end, I failed the two majors in the college entrance examination, so my parents arranged to work as a factory girl in an electronics factory outside.

After two years, I ran back by myself and worked as a salesperson in a large supermarket in the county seat.

Because they are neighbors and the age gap is not too big, Hao Guangming still has a certain understanding of Yu Weiwei.

Although this girl didn't do well in school in the end, she didn't really learn to be bad, otherwise she wouldn't have been a factory girl in the electronics factory for two years.

When I returned to the county, I didn't fool around, but quickly found a job in a big supermarket.

During the Chinese New Year, Hao Guangming chatted with her a few times, knowing that she felt that being a salesperson in a big supermarket had too little spare time and wanted to change to a more leisurely job.

Because she wants to have a side job after work, or learn some skills by herself.

No matter how bad it is, I can have more time to fall in love and find a good husband.

After the Chinese New Year, Yu Weiwei still went to work in the supermarket.

So Hao Guangming took the opportunity of going to the county to pick up the second batch of online shopping rations, and asked her out from the supermarket to have a chat.

Yu Weiwei learned about Hao Guangming's intentions, and directly asked about the salary, working hours, and work content, and readily agreed.

"I quit my job at the supermarket this afternoon, and I'll go to work at the pharmacy in the town tomorrow!" The matter was settled, Yu Weiwei said with a smile, feeling like she couldn't wait to change to a new environment.

Hao Guangming smiled and said, "You don't have to be so anxious, it's not that easy to be a clerk in a pharmacy, you not only need to be able to cash register, but also have some basic knowledge of medicines.

I have already contacted the pharmacy for your internship, Nanxing Pharmacy. You will intern there for a month, and then come to work in my pharmacy. The salary during the internship will be the same as I just said. "

Strictly speaking, pharmacy clerks must also be medical professionals.

But small places are not so particular, and small pharmacies will not prescribe medicines.

Generally, customers ask for some medicine, and the clerk knows where the medicine is, can find it quickly, and then just collect the money.

At most, you need to learn some drug handling skills and some common sense about medicine.

These, Yu Weiwei, a young man with a high school diploma, is enough to study for a month.
