Go back to the Ming Dynasty to be a thousand households

Chapter 88 Everyone's Trip to Wuzhai Fort ([-])

Mr. Sun was not the only one who was shocked by the changes in Wuzhai Fort. Master Liu Jingchun, the commander of Zhenxiwei, sent his servants to Wuzhai Fort the next day after receiving the news of the bumper harvest in Wuzhai Fort on August 8. Come and check, the result of checking is naturally very incredible.

After the servants returned, they added oil and sauce, and Lord Liu Jingchun was naturally very moved when he heard it. He remembered the promise his adopted son Huang Laifu had made to him. This time he sent Master Sun and others to ask for food from Huang Laifu. He also asked casually. What's up with the cashmere thing.

Of course, Master Liu Jingchun was neither the first nor the last to inspect. In the bleakness, such a bumper harvest in Wuzhaibao was too eye-catching.In the past few days, Yang Defu, the magistrate of Kelan Prefecture, Liu Jing, the magistrate of Baode Prefecture, and the generals from several nearby military forts have all sent people to spy on them.As a result of the snooping, naturally they all have different thoughts, but these people have different moods and different thoughts, and they don't have the energy to think about what to do to Huang Laifu.

Of course, there are people with this kind of effort. For example, Mr. Gao Qi, who is currently in the defense of Fangqiu, Ke Lan, is in charge. In theory, Huang Laifu's Wuzhai Fort is a guard system, and he is only under the command of Zhenxi Wei, Mr. Liu Jingchun. And the commander of Taiyuan, Liu Fuyu, is under the jurisdiction.But the complexity of border towns in the Ming Dynasty is here. Shanxi Town is divided into three military roads. , so Mr. Gao Qi can be regarded as Huang Laifu's boss.

Right now, Mr. Gao Qi and a member of the general are stationed in Pianguan, with 330 castles under their jurisdiction, including Wuzhai Fort. There are 450 members of the domestic reinforcements and 28 horses and mules.Mr. Gao Qi is a councilor and military officer, the prime minister of various military departments, and also in charge of the grain storage and farm work on the road, from the third grade.

Wuzhaibao Inn, formerly known as Wuzhaibao Inn, was originally a small inn that could not be smaller. It was regarded as the property of Yang Anzhang and Yang Baihu’s family. At that time, it was run by his second son Yang Xiaoniu. Only during the Chinese New Year, the inn was still deserted. , but this year, especially when it enters September, there will be a lot of customers all of a sudden, and they are often full.Business is getting better and better, so Yang Xiaoniu followed the trend and changed the name of the inn to Wuzhaibao Big Inn.

At this time, in a guest room of Wuzhaibao Hotel, two men came in through the door, one of them was fat, thick and dark, in his 30s, and the other was thinner, in his forties, with the corners of his mouth floating A sneer, rather gloomy and self-satisfied.


The two entered the guest room, and the fat, thick and dark man said: "It's his daughter-in-law's family. I didn't expect Wuzhaibao to become so lively all of a sudden. I remember last June, I passed by here with Mr. Gao, at that time it was deserted, there was not a single bird, I never thought that it would change so much in just one year, this Huang Laifu is really amazing."

There was light in the eyes of the thin and cold man, and he sneered: "The annual output of hundreds of thousands of stone grains is far from the end. It doesn't matter if you don't want to be lively, but Huang Sihao and Huang Laifu and their sons, a district of thousands of households, have these Too much money and food, I’m afraid it’s not a good thing.”

The fat, thick and dark man said: "That's right, I heard from Mr. Gao that there are fifty-eight thousand five hundred and twenty-six members of the Mabu army in Shanxi Township, and the main soldier's silver is only 520 taels a year. The silver of the guest soldiers is only 12 taels. He has a thousand households in Huangjia District, and his annual grain and rice income exceeds the grain and army salaries of our town. God is really blind. Alas, look at our heads Guan, this year's income is far from comparable to that of Wuzhaibao."

Piantouguan is close to the Hetao Mongolian tribe. In recent years, the war has been sluggish. Piantouguan has also formed a private city with the Mongolian tribes to trade with each other. Too far apart.

The thin and gloomy man sneered and said: "Every man is innocent, but he is guilty of conceiving a jade. It's only because the Huang family and his son can't behave. With so much food, they don't know how to honor us, Mr. Gao and Mr. Zongbing."

The fat, thick and dark man said: "Mr. Qi, do you want Mr. Gao... But, I have seen the Wuzhaibao Banner Army, and they are not like the old and weak soldiers in other guards. If we can persuade General Wu to move, I'm afraid we won't be able to please him."

The thin and gloomy man sneered and said, "Brother Wang, who said we were going to be rough? The Wuzhaibao Banner Army is so strong that it just happened to be transferred to the battalion. Go to another military fort to defend, and then transfer our brothers to Wuzhai Fort, won’t everything in Wuzhai Fort be taken by Mr. Gao and others?”

"Sure enough, people who have read books are people who have read books. Mr. Qi's brain is not comparable to those of us rough people."

The two laughed at each other.

"Fu'er, Master Liu Jingchun from Kelan Prefecture has sent someone here, saying that he has something to discuss with you."

As soon as Huang Laifu sent away Qu Yuanrui and other businessmen, and He Fuqianhu and other old military officers, his father Huang Sihao walked into the hall with a smile on his face and said to Huang Laifu.

"Oh, so the adoptive father sent someone here, probably for food." Huang Laifu smiled slightly.

When he went to Beijing to replace him this time, he casually worshiped a cheap godfather in Kelanzhou City. When he came back, he talked to his father, and he also agreed very much. It is necessary to have a good relationship with the Commander. Although Huang Sihao was a little bit pained by sending cheap godfather four thousand stones of food every year, he still didn't say anything in the end, anyway, since his son grew up, let him make up his mind.Facts have proved that my son has taken over this year and managed the Wuzhai Fort in an orderly manner, which is far superior to the Wuzhai Fort managed by myself in the past, so I don't have to worry about it.

The father and son went out to welcome them. At the gate, they saw Master Sun standing there, looking at the situation around Qianhu House.

Seeing Huang Sihao and Huang Laifu and his son, Master Sun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Little Sun Wanao, I have met Mrs. Huang and Young Master Huang."

Before coming to Wuzhaibao this time, Lord Liu Jingchun had already told Master Sun Wanao about his relationship with Huang Laifu. No matter how much he was favored by the Commander, he was clearly a servant of the Liu family, and now Huang Laifu was the commander again. As the adult's adoptive son, in terms of etiquette, I can't let others say anything.

"Hehe, it turned out to be Master Sun. You have worked hard all the way. How is foster father?" Huang Laifu said enthusiastically.

"Thanks to Young Master Huang, Mr. Liu is fine, but he misses Young Master very much." Master Sun said with a smile on his face.

"Laifu also misses his father-in-law as well. He only hates that he is busy with official duties and has no energy to spare, so he can't go to Kelan Prefecture to serve his old man." Huang Laifu said with emotion.

The two exchanged some pleasantries, Huang Sihao smiled and said, "Fu'er, Master Sun has worked hard all the way, why don't you invite him in?"

Huang Laifu patted his forehead and said: "Look at me, I was so busy talking, I forgot to invite Master Sun in."

At that moment, all the people entered the thousand-household house together, sat down as guests and hosts, and offered tea.

Master Sun said with emotion: "All the way here, the changes in Wuzhai Fort are really unimaginable. I remember that a few years ago, I also came to Wuzhai Fort. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I really wouldn't believe what I said. changes." At this point, he just shook his head with emotion.

Huang Sihao and his son were very proud of what they heard. Everything in front of Wuzhaibao is inseparable from their hard work, and it is impossible for their achievements to be affirmed by others.

Huang Laifu said: "Master Sun has won the prize. Speaking of Wuzhaibao, it is still a small place and cannot be compared with Kelan Prefecture."

Master Sun just shook his head and sighed in disbelief. After a while, he sighed and said, "For Wuzhaibao to achieve such a development, Master Liu must be very happy to see it. It's just different from Wuzhaibao. This year Kelan Prefecture is not in a good year, and there is no harvest in the fields, presumably Master Liu will worry about the food and clothing of the soldiers of the Zhenxi Guards again."

Huang Laifu and Huang Sihao looked at each other, and Huang Laifu said with a serious expression, "Laifu has always taken care of my foster father's worries. It just so happens that my Wuzhai Fort has a good harvest this year. When Laifu was in Kelanzhou City, I once told my foster father However, I would like to offer thousands of stones of grain and grass to relieve the suffering of my father-in-law. I am talking about this matter with my father today, and tomorrow I will send my confidantes to Kelanzhou City to deliver four thousand stones of grain and rice. Master Sun came just in time, just in time Go with Liangmi."

Master Sun was overjoyed when he heard that he had successfully completed his mission this time, and it would be a lie to say that he was not happy.He repeatedly said: "The adults have always told the young ones that the young master is kind-hearted and a first-class talent. What I saw today really lives up to his reputation."

At this time, both the host and the guest are happy. At that time, Huang Laifu called people to invite Master Sun to take a bath and change clothes, and held a dinner party for Master Sun and others to clean up the dust. During the banquet, Master Sun tried to ask about the cashmere. Huang Laifu pondered. : "I have negotiated with a group of merchants on this matter. The time for building factories and houses is set in mid-September. Please go back and tell Mr. Yifu, Mr. Sun. Please don't worry about this matter. The blessings will have their own calculations. Let him The old man can sit back and relax."

Master Sun was even more delighted, saying: "That's good, that's good."

After Master Sun stayed in Wuzhai Fort for two days, on September [-]th, Huang Laifu selected hundreds of people from the fields to escort [-] stones of grain and rice, and went to Kelanzhou City with Master Sun, and his father Huang Sihao went there in person.

According to him, he just happened to drop in on his way to Kelanzhou City to meet his in-laws and brother Gu Qianhu.However, Huang Laifu could see that his father cared about his affairs.When everyone set off, he personally sent his father, Master Sun and his party outside the fort.

After the group left, at the same time, Zhang Wenbao, the chief grain officer of the household department in Taiyuan, went from Taiyuan to Wuzhai Fort with a few small officials under the order of Wang Lin, Shangshu of the household department.Yang Dawei, the captain of the Jinyi school in Wuzhaibao, also received a secret order, and immediately went to the capital to face the saint!
