I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 21 The Dreaming Changyu
Chapter 020

Seeing these hundreds of households and experimental hundred households getting more and more excited, they all approached Cheng Shijie step by step at the same time.

"Back, back!"

At this time, Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu, etc. were not there, and only ten soldiers from hundreds of households stood in front of Cheng Shijie with their bodies. Cheng Shijie dared to summon these officials from hundreds of households because he was ready. He had the magic weapon to drive pigs , which is also an electric shocker.

Cheng Shijie hid the electric shock device in his sleeve, as long as anyone dared to step forward, Cheng Shijie was ready to make him suffer.

"Get out of the way, Ben Qianhu wants to see who dares to rebel today!"

When Cheng Shijie said this, these soldiers drew their knives out one after another, and Chen Dayong, the small banner of Zhongbaihu, pointed at the hundreds of households in the hall: "Stay down, you dare to disrespect the Lord to Lord Qianhu, and hurry up to ask Lord Qianhu Kowtow to apologize.”

Liu Ning, a Baiguan from Ganquan Hundred Households Institute, glared at Chen Dayong and said, "Chen Dayong, you are the second child of Chen Laosan's family, right? Now your wings are stiff? Dare you use a knife in front of me? Come and chop here!"

Liu Ning pointed to his neck.

"Puchi..."

Chen Dayong slashed at Liu Ning's neck, and Liu Ning looked at Chen Dayong in disbelief.

He felt as if his body was being emptied, and his physical strength quickly disappeared.

"you……"

Before Liu Ning could say the second word, he fell to the ground and twitched a few times, but stopped moving.

The other hundred households looked at each other, somewhat at a loss as to what to do.

Among the hundreds of households, Zhou Yandong, the oldest official of the hundred households, saw that the incident was getting serious, so he bit his bullet and said: "Master Qianhu is sympathetic to his subordinates, and the officers and soldiers on behalf of the subordinates understand it. It's just that the fate of the soldiers is fate, isn't it? Is the officer's life not his life?"

Cheng Shijie said indifferently: "I won't let you drink the blood and eat the soldiers' meat, but you won't be allowed to withdraw the silver from the soldiers. You deserve what you deserve. I can supplement it to you in silver!"

The salary of a hundred officials is nominally 120 shi grains, and 110 shi grains from the sixth grade, and ninety winds are given in addition to the salary.In the early Ming Dynasty, the salary was still worth a little money, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty, there was basically nothing left.

Now that Cheng Shijie has money in his hands, he also has confidence in his heart.Even if all officers are given Dai, each hundred households will receive three stones per month, plus seven trial hundred households, each will have two stones and eight heads, twenty general banners, each person will have one stone and five buckets per month, and one hundred small banners Every month, one stone and two buckets per person.

Adding all the officers together, it is only 190 nine stones and six buckets of grain. According to the current calculation of five coins per stone of grain in Dengzhou, it is one hundred silver.

Hearing that Cheng Shijie wanted to make up for the money, Zhou Yandong said: "Master Qianhu, these 100 colleagues cost more than 100 taels of silver. It is really unbearable for Mr. Qianhu to spend so much money alone. What's more, Qianhu It is unreasonable for Mr. Hu to post money by himself, and I am afraid that Shangfeng has some ideas..."

Cheng Shijie pointed to Zhang Ruyi and said, "Zhang Qianshu!"

"Humble!"

"Right now, food is being distributed outside. We will notify the [-] households of the general banners, the small banners, and the [-] pilot households. Everyone will receive according to the allocated share!"

"How funny is this!"

All the hundreds of households and the trial hundred households pretended to shirk, and went out to collect food with gratitude. Now the impoverished Zuoqian households, let alone ordinary military households, have no food. I can't open the pot at home.

When hundreds of households were about to leave, Cheng Shijie stopped Zhou Yandong.

"Zhou Baihu wait a moment!"

"I don't know what orders Master Qianhu has!"

Now Zhou Yandong, an old man, no longer dared to underestimate Cheng Shijie, a smiling tiger. In Zhou Yandong's eyes, Cheng Shijie was just a smiling tiger.

Unconsciously, Liu Ning was hacked to death.Of course, Liu Ning has no background. He has been a hereditary hundred-household official for more than 20 years. Because of his bad temper, he can't get the praise of Qianhu adults every time he is evaluated. .

He offered grain to buy people's hearts, and with just a few hundred taels of silver, he won the favor of these military households, especially the family soldiers recruited just a few days ago, who worked for Cheng Shijie.Especially the one who did it, Chen Dayong, he himself was a military household of Liu Ning Baihu, and his father was still a soldier under Liu Baihu.

Dare to attack Liu Ning without fear of revenge, which shows that Cheng Shijie is a good player in buying people's hearts.

Of course Zhou Yandong didn't know, whether it was Chen Dayong or the 160 newly recruited family soldiers, they all participated in the assassination of Gao Wang, the former Lord Qianhu. Gao Wang was stabbed more than 160 times, and Li Da Yuanwai and his four sons, everyone.

As long as these things are leaked out, it will be a serious crime to raid the house and kill them. They have already boarded Cheng Shijie's thief ship, and there is no possibility of getting off the ship.

Cheng Shijie pondered and said: "Han Wenfei, deputy Qianhu of our Zuoqianhu, has been sick for more than half a year, and this Qianhu also needs an experienced person to assist in the management of the Qianhu Office. I think Zhou Baihu is very good, and he can be this Deputy Qianhu, of course, this Qianhu only has the right to suggest the appointment and dismissal of officials at the level of Deputy Qianhu, but has no right to make decisions. ..."

Zhou Yandong was stunned for a long time, but did not react.

Even though it is only one step away from the official of a hundred households and the deputy of a thousand households, it is equivalent to the difference between the director level and the deputy department level in later generations. Many people will be stuck at this level for the rest of their lives.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty is different from other dynasties. This official position is hereditary. Just like Qi Jiguang, his starting point is actually higher than many people.

Zhou Yandong was already forty and seven, and he was considered an elderly person in the Ming Dynasty. He didn't have much pursuit of official career, but the problem was that this official position could be hereditary and could be passed on to his son.

An official of hundreds of households supported by Qianhu Zhengyin is only short of money for promotion.Don't look at Zhou Yandong's complaints about suffering and poverty, he can really afford the money to clear up the relationship, otherwise, he has been a small landlord for more than 20 years.

Cheng Shijie took out an ingot of silver from his pocket, which was not big, only about five taels.

Zhou Yandong turned pale with shock: "Lord Qianhu, how did this happen?"

"From now on, you will be the Deputy Qianhu of our Zuo Qianhu Office, this is what you deserve!"

Cheng Shijie said: "However, you have to give up your middle-left hundred households. This thousand households is going to let Zhang Yu be the middle-left hundred households. From now on, the middle-left hundred households and the middle-left hundred households will be the members of this thousand households." household."

Zhou Yandong instantly understood in his heart that it was not so easy to get the deputy Qianhu as expected.

However, before he was disappointed, Cheng Shijie said again: "However, I won't treat Brother Zhou badly. There are some thorns on the Ganquan Baihu side. Benqianhu is worried that Changyu is young and can't shock them. If Brother Zhou goes over, it should be These thorns can be subdued!"

Zhou Yandong could only sigh inwardly, Cheng Shijie deserved to be an official, look at his scheming tricks, kill Liu Ning and take away his hundred households, he will definitely be hostile by Liu Ning's confidants, but Cheng Shijie let himself In the past, Ganquan Baihusuo was moved to the left, but Ganquan Baihusuo was far away from Qianhusuo.

It also means that he, the deputy Qianhu, basically does not have many opportunities to take charge of the affairs of the Qianhu Office.

More importantly, he has no way to refuse.

……

"Congratulations, Zhang Baihu!"

"Congratulations, Zhang Baihu!"

When Zhang Yu came back from buying grain, he met many old friends from the Thousand Households Office, and they congratulated Zhang Yu on becoming a Hundred Households.

You must know that in ten days, Zhang Yu was still a broken military household who had eaten his last meal and never stopped. However, the problem is that when Cheng Shijie recruited soldiers, he was promoted to the rank of Small flag officer.

Then, Gao Wang was killed, and he handed in the nomination certificate from Qingjinpu, and he was promoted to the general banner. Now that he returned from purchasing grain, he was promoted to the official of a hundred households?
Changyu still has a feeling of dreaming.

He pinched his thigh hard.

hiss……

It hurts.

In fact, the promotion of a hundred households has the same effect as Cheng Shijie's buying an official, and you can get it if you have money.

Ordinary people will not become military households. A hundred officials have to be exploited by thousands of households, and they don’t have much money. For example, a thousand households in Dengzhou only have more than 2000 mu of land, and each hundred households has an average of more than [-] mu of land. , plus years of drought, how much money can you earn?
In fact, most of the money for the promotion of a hundred households went to the hands of the thousand households, and the commander and envoy were only the handlers, and this matter was also considered one of the benefits of the thousand household officials.
