Chapter 462 Catch them all

Chapter 462 Catch them all

One month later, it was the early summer of the 14th year of Wanli.

Zhang Yue had already started to eat the watermelons offered by the local wealthy households, and while sitting in the backyard of the Yan'an government office where he was temporarily stationed, he asked Li Rusong, "Have all the rogues come to be recruited?"

"Except for those who were recruited by the local government in advance, all of them came to recruit. There are more than 9 people in total."

Li Rusong replied.

After Zhang Yue heard this, he said: "Then please ask Marquis Tieling to take these recruited people to Yezhuxia to collect money and food tomorrow. There can't be so many soldiers on the school grounds in the government office! Just arrange another battalion of officers and soldiers to stay with me."

Li Rusong bowed his hands and said yes.

Next, on the second day, just after dawn, Li Rusong sent troops to organize more than 9 rogues who had been recruited and went to Yezhu Gorge not far from Yan'an Mansion.

"Why go to Wild Boar Gorge?"

When Zhan Tianhou followed, he touched his enlarged belly and couldn't help asking about Liu Jinghe.

Liu Jinghe said with a smile: "The money and food for the recruitment this time are all transported from Kulichuan, where the boat docks and enters the Fucheng. It is estimated that we will go there to collect it, so as to save loss on the way, and they are officials. You can eat more of the loss on the road and put it in your own pocket."

Changtian Monkey couldn't help showing contempt after hearing this: "These officials are really fucking smart! In order to make money, let us work so hard to walk such a long way under the poisonous sun!"

When Li Rusong led his troops to organize the recruited rogues to go to Wild Boar Gorge, Zhang Yue also sent people to invite all the local gentry who had previously conspired with him to recruit An Yin.

"This time I was able to recruit security successfully, thanks to all the townspeople!"

Zhang Yue also hosted a banquet for these people, and took the initiative to bring a glass of wine at the banquet, and made a meaningful respect.

Han Weihui hurriedly raised his wine glass and said, "Don't dare to do this. This time, Lai Butang planned a strategy for recruiting security. How dare we wait to take credit for it."

"You don't have to be so humble."

Zhang Yue waved his hand, and then said to the gentry: "The Marquis of Tieling has escorted them to Wild Boar Gorge. After he returns to his command, you can take your part first."

Han Weihui and the gentry all looked at each other and smiled after hearing this, and heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that this time they really made a profit.

Zhang Yue ordered, "Come here!"

Not long after, a team of accountants came up with account books.

Then, another team of sergeants appeared outside carrying the boxes, and opened the boxes, revealing layers of silver dollars that were shining brightly under the sunlight.

"These are the Zhao'an banks that have arrived."

"Thanks to Your Majesty's great kindness and kindness, he regards the people of the world as innocent children, and does not use large soldiers because of the unruly people in your hometown. Therefore, I specially sent this hall to spread grace here on behalf of the emperor. The village is fine."

"As for whoever is recruited, it doesn't matter, it's just the people who can make peace in your hometown."

Zhang Yue said, "So, all the sages, it's better to thank the Son of Heaven first."

So Han Weihui and other local gentry knelt down to Zhang Yue and thanked Zhu Yijun.

And then, Zhang Yue said again: "Before splitting the favor, let's sign a letter on the account book."

"Why is the department hall like this?"

Han Weihui asked.

Zhang Yue said: "Isn't this the proper rule? If you don't sign and draw a deposit, how will the hall explain to Yuan Fu? I don't know, I'm afraid I think the hall has embezzled all the recruitment funds."

"But how can this matter be cleared up?"

Sun Yi followed suit at this time.

Zhang Yue chuckled: "Why, you don't trust me, I'm afraid I will report you because of this?"

Having said that, Zhang Yue slapped the table: "Then unless I don't want my own official career, I don't take Yuanfu seriously! Don't forget, the current ship is not at the helm of this ship, nor you , it’s Yuansuke; this church doesn’t have the ability to turn the boat over.”

Han Weihui and the others glanced at each other, and then at the box full of silver dollars outside.

Zhang Yue was not in a hurry, and started to eat the dishes very calmly, and said: "Anyway, the church will leave [-]% in Guixiang as promised, and the [-]% will be divided among you by one family, two families, or three families and five families. It doesn’t really matter, whoever is timid doesn’t have to come to sign, but it’s just that they are not allowed to take away the silver dollars. Whoever has the courage can sign, and take the silver dollars after signing. money and food.”

"Why didn't the Ministry say that there is such a move waiting for us, but we waited for us to persuade all the rogues to recruit for the Ministry, and then we said this."

Sun Yi spoke angrily at this moment.

Zhang Yue smiled slightly: "You didn't even ask!"

Sun Yi: "..."

Then, Zhang Yue said: "If you feel that you are really angry, you can find someone to report to the hall, or ask the "Da Gao" to bring the explanation of the hall to Beijing, because the hall does not obey the rules and must be forced Only when you sign, you are allowed to take away the [-]% of the Zhaoan Bank promised to you."

The air became quiet for a moment.

Only Zhang Yue's chirping sound when drinking and eating food appeared.

For the gentry, this is a problem. Although they are greedy, they are not stupid, so they will not easily let themselves be taken advantage of.

"Never mind!"

But in this era where a large amount of wealth can be quickly accumulated by stealing and taking courage, a family that can become a gentry is not only able to study and do business, but also dare to kill and set fire. He can only be regarded as an ordinary villager.

You know, the bold gentry in history dared to transport artillery, gunpowder, etc. to the enemy country.

Therefore, Han Weihui finally stood up at this time: "Xiaomin can understand what the department did, and there is no written evidence. It is difficult to explain to Yuanfu. It must be because we are afraid that we will let the bandits make trouble after you leave. Let your recruiting fail."

Han Weihui came over and picked up the pen on the tray: "I'll sign it!"

Seeing Han Weihui's signature, Sun Yi was worried that Han Weihui would really take away all the Zhao'an Bank, so he followed him: "Xiaomin doesn't really care about these fame and fortune, but as a fellow countryman, how can I see the Han family alone? The risk of the court's favor, otherwise, wouldn't the villagers laugh at me as a moron?"

"That's right! My Ma family signed it too."

"And my Ai family!"

All of a sudden, these wealthy gentry signed, but failed to hold back in front of huge profits.

Seeing this, Zhang Yue also laughed: "Thanks to the understanding of all the sages in the village, the hall is very pleased. Now we will wait for the good news of Tieling Hou, and have dinner first."

……

Boar Gorge.

At this time, Li Rusong had already arrived at a plain above the canyon, and with his hips akimbo, he looked at the many bandits who had also arrived at the bank of the canyon river, and said to Zha Dashou: "According to the order of the Ministry, let's do it." !"

Zha Dashou bowed his hands and said yes, then walked down from the plain, and came to the river, and told the rogues who had been recruited: "Kneel down first, listen to the order, and then receive money and food!"

"Why do you still kneel down?"

Sky-Changing Monkey asked Liu Jinghe.

Liu Jinghe said: "If we want us to know that this is Emperor Long En, we will naturally kneel, let's kneel!"

Changtian Monkey still knelt down, and muttered: "The government really has a lot of rules! I don't have such trouble when I divide the gold and silver with the bandits!"

And the other rogues who were recruited also knelt down at this time.

In addition, Liu Jinghe also knelt down, and according to the prior agreement, took out the white cloth from his sleeve and held it in his hand.

At this time, Zha Dashou came over with the soldiers, and said in a low voice: "If you see white cloth, take it away!"
