Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 303 Meticulous Part-time Work Notes (Third Change)
Shichang Gan Zhan took the half-money given by Qianzong Wanlu, and took the other nine brothers on the road dressed as people fleeing famine.

Even though he lost the sentinel and wanted more money, Qian Zong Wan Lu was still not a generous person.

Two people were added to him, and after a full meal, let them go.

Anyway, I said that I went there to do part-time jobs to earn money, and the money was too much, so it didn't seem like I was fleeing.

Shi Zhang Gan Zhan wanted to slap himself, why would he make such an extra point?
In the early Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver was designated to be worth one thousand Wen.

Now silver is worthless, and with Longqing opening the sea, a large amount of silver poured in, even though a lot of silver was hoarded.

Still can't stop the price of silver from falling.

When it comes to Tianqi, one tael of silver is only worth about five hundred Wen.

It wasn't until eight years after Chongzhen that the price of silver rose, or the quality of copper coins declined.

Two thousand cash in Beijing can be exchanged for one tael, and nearly three thousand cash in other provinces can be exchanged for one tael.

Mostly the insurgents robbed the silver and didn't spend it, and the later Jin Tartars robbed the silver and didn't spend it in Daming. The economic circulation was slow and the price of silver rose.

Gan Zhan actually took less than 250 Wen, which belonged to the travel expenses of ten big men.

As for how to inquire about news and get food after arriving at the destination, I have to figure out a way for myself.

Don't come to Shangguan to solve everything, otherwise what's the use of you.

For nearly a hundred miles, the spies walked over with their feet, and they only brought dry food for one day.

If you are on the road in the summer, it is easy to spoil the food.

Working day and night, the spies walked for several days before finally arriving in Hequ County.

Before reaching the gate of the city, someone came to intercept them and recruit workers to solve their board and lodging problems.

During the slack season, there are naturally many people who want to come to earn some money.

You don't need them to disperse into the city, and you can tell that they are here to work by seeing their fleeing appearance.

The ten people followed obediently, and were led by the scribe's apprentice, after registration.

Each person will be given a small wooden sign and hung around his neck as a temporary identity registration and team number, which will be used to collect money at that time.

Gan Zhan reported the address truthfully, which shocked the soldiers behind him, because they were here to investigate, and they made up their identities indiscriminately.

The registered clerk smiled at this and said:

"Since you have come all the way, you should work hard. The town care envoy can feed you well and earn some money to subsidize your family. Our town care envoys pay wages and take care of the food.

Like working as a labor servitor for the Ming government, you not only have to prepare your own food, but you also don’t get paid. Remember who treats you well. "

"Yes Yes Yes."

Gan Zhan responded repeatedly, this place is really different, Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao is indeed a bit lenient in his treatment of the common people.

Northwest Hammer King, the chief coach of the 80 rebel army in Shaanxi, what he did was not as cruel as his name!

The rest of the people also found it incredible.

I wish there were so many people here, and they flocked here.

Is this supposed to be something the court rebels did?

But Gan Zhan heard that the high-ranking thieves were the ones who broke through a county, killed all the landlords and gentry, robbed money and food, and coerced the young and strong to expand their team. How could they build a city?
After registering the ten detailed works, they were taken to the simple cafeteria to eat some pancakes and drink some broth, and then formed a team to "move bricks".

first day.

It's tiring to move bricks, but I don't care if I can eat enough.

When it's hot at noon, you can also drink ice-cold salty red bean soup.

Because they were afraid of showing their feet, all ten people followed the team obediently, not being the first bird.

First went to the river to take a bath, and then was assigned to the newly built simple Datong shop.

There is a shed on the Datong shop, which can shelter the rain. It is true that there are wind leaks from all sides, but it is not so particular in summer.

However, they were still smoked with wormwood, and there were not many mosquitoes. This alone was much better than the treatment in the Ming army barracks.

And this is just the treatment of civilian husbands. Serving as a soldier under He Jinzhao, wouldn't the treatment be as good as heaven?

Gan Zhan decided to let the brothers sleep first, and then find an opportunity to inquire about the news.

the next day.

"Moving bricks" is a bit tired, I will go to inquire tomorrow.

Day three.

Damn, there is meat in today's meal!

Day [-].

You can get your wages today, and if you want to leave, hurry up.

After Gan Ning and others received it, they couldn't believe it, each of them could earn fifty coins.

The ten people together earned 250 wen, which was twice as much as the [-] wen for board, lodging and travel expenses given by Mr. Qian.

You must know that the landlord’s family employs long-term labor, and the annual salary is only two taels of silver. The current market price is about [-] yuan, and each meal is two liters of rice.

He Jinzhao seems to give a lot of food.

Several spies all looked at Shichang Gan Zhan. To be honest, if he worked for a month, he could earn three hundred wen.

Serving as a soldier for Ming Dynasty, the general flag doesn't have much money.

Not to mention the underdogs who have been deducted, they can't earn so much in a year.

None are willing to leave.

"Why, we still have to stay and continue to inquire about the news?"

Shi Chang Ganzhan looked at the eager eyes of his brothers:

"The people who came to build the city all came from various villages. This He Jinzhao is unusual. He actually reformed the system and established some villages and towns.

They are not ordinary thieves, let's inquire more here, and get more details about the news. "

After Gan Zhan finished speaking, someone added:

"That's right, that's right, Shi Zhang is right, you have to find out about He Jinzhao's affairs, and it will take a lot of time."

The other nine people were all smiling.

I thought it was a hard job this time, but I didn't expect to earn it.

The ten secret agents sent by the Ming army were obsessed with "moving bricks" to make money, and forgot their tasks.

Since they started, ten consecutive days have passed.

Qian Zong Wanlu of Bajiaobao was very anxious, wondering if these ten people were all arrested or killed because of inquiring about the news?
Even if we reach our destination, we should send someone back to deliver the news.

Could it be that Hequ County under the rule of He Jinzhao is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, eating people without spitting out their bones?

Thinking of this, Mr. Wan Luqian decided to send a small team (50 people) to inquire about the news again.

The spies spread out a lot, and they can always get news.

Not only that, Tian Ming, the general of Ningwuguan, also sent his elite Yebushuai to Hequ County to inquire about the situation.

After all, the news of the battle after autumn had already spread throughout the countryside.

As a result, the squad sent by General Tian Ming was divided into different categories and sent to work in different teams.

Even if some people wanted to start a riot, no one paid any attention to him, but was reported by the villagers because of such good treatment.

Apart from He Jinzhao here, where else can I find it in the entire Ming Dynasty?

This is not the government of the Ming Dynasty, if he wants to riot, no one is willing to do it with him.

When He Jinzhao received the news that there was a spy, he took it very seriously and interrogated him himself.

It turned out that Tian Ming, the general of Ming Dynasty stationed at Ningwu Pass, sent Ye Bushuo to inquire about the news, even if it failed, he would coerce the craftsmen into chaos and delay his attack.

Military Jigui said with a serious face: "My lord, there must be a lot of secret operations of the Ming army among the people who came to work. Do you want to find them all?"

He Jinzhao quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I'm just worried that I don't have a channel to publicize to the soldiers of the Ming army!"
