Chapter 81: Big Change (1)

At the entrance of a yamen yard.

A man in his thirties sat on the table with a smile on his lips. The table was full of copper coins and some were broken silver. Below were soldiers lined up.

"All those who have received the money have been dispersed. Come here early tomorrow, don't miss the time because of greed."

"How could it be? Please rest assured by Mr. Qian. The young people have their own qualities. If you get the salary, you must go back and hand it over to your wife. How can you spend extra money?"

"Haha, Mr. Qian San, don't worry about him. He just got married last month and was when Shui Ling's wife was warming up the kang, so she wouldn't be willing to go out."

"You boy dare to make fun of me..." Today, the soldiers who received the salary were all happy to return home.

In the end, only Zhang Fanzhi from the five teams was left.

"Master Zhang, come here. These are your monthly salary. Take a look and see if it's enough." Mr. Qian said straight at Zhang Fan in the corner with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Fan walked over and bowed to the other party: "I'm working hard."

As he said that, he did not look at the amount of broken silver and copper coins on the table, he lifted the silver bag, turned around and left.

"Zhang Guzheng, you are very relieved to me, aren't you afraid that I will give you less?" Qian Sanye's teasing voice came from behind.

"Who is Mr. Qian? How could he make such a joke with Zhang?" Zhang Fanzhi paused and said lightly. After that, he walked out without looking back.

At this time, a person walked out of the inner room, but it was Yingzheng.

Looking at Zhang Fanzhi's back, Ying Zheng sneered in some playfulness: "Qian San, you looked too arrogant before. Did you see that this person is now a useless person and will not shake the status of my official at all."

"Of course you can say that he pretends, but the things in the world are true and true when they are false. He gets drunk every day and often ignores team affairs. In a few years, his reputation and body will be lost. At this time, he wants to cheer up, but suddenly he can't cheer up even if he wants to cheer up - this is true and false when he is false!"

"This power and status are really great. Such a powerful brave general is now just a person who is in power and down. I won't waste any effort in another year."

"The new chief general is quite afraid of these old generals. The saying of re-emphasization is just a groundless trend and should not be true."

"What the young master said is that Qian San has benefited a lot." After saying this, he still felt that it was not enough. Qian San said again: "However, this person has been a deputy guard general, and he has been suppressed during the period of time he has been in the team."

"If you gain power again one day, you will be dissatisfied with you, Master, and you will have the opportunity to retaliate. You have to be careful of this!"

"You guy, you want to be the chief of the fifth team, have you been thinking for a long time? Don't worry, your young master can bring you from the mansion to the military camp, and you can promote you to the chief of the team. You must know that my Qian clan is a prominent clan in Fanyang County, how can you be compared to a small civilian? I will stay for a few more days and will be the chief of the governor in a few days. It is difficult to do anything at this time. After this period of time, find an excuse to kill this person and give up his position. Anyway, this guy is drunk every day and ignores military affairs. One kills him for the crime of arrogance of a slow army, and no one can speak." Although the official surname of this camp is not a direct lineage of the Qian clan of Fanyang County, he is also a powerful branch and has a rich family background. He is full of confidence when speaking, and the face of a young woman appears in his heart, thinking in his heart: "This reckless man, his wife is pretty good!"

Hearing his promise, Qian San didn't know what the young master was thinking, so he smiled and had already made up his mind. After he went back, he showed off his third concubine. Today, he had a lot of money to serve, and this beautiful little girl would definitely reward him.

On the street outside, Zhang Fanzhi, who was walking out of the yamen, looked down at the silver bag in his hand, stood there thinking for a while, and took out some money from the bag, held it in his hand, and put the rest in his bag, carefully put it in his arms.

A few days ago, I took my wife back from my parents' home. After a lot of coaxing, I stopped treating him coldly. Today I paid the salary and bought some wine and meat. When I went back, I would let my wife get along with her kid to get along with her kid!

These days, the mother and son have not lived a good life, and they feel guilty after thinking about it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Fan walked straight to a pork stall, ordered half a pound of meat, and then made two taels of wine at the wine shop, and walked to the home.

My family lives in the north city of Fanyang Prefecture City. It took more than half an hour to walk back from the Yamen. When he got home, he was already sweating.

"Dad!" As soon as he entered the house, the five-year-old young son rushed over and shouted sweetly.

"Come on, tell me, have you listened to your mother at home today?" Zhang Fan asked with a smile.

"The child is so obedient." The child said seriously.

"That's good, go and play first. Dad has something to say to your mother." After patting his young son's butt, Zhang Fanzhi put the child down and said.

The child ran away and went to play with mud.

"Madam, this is the monthly salary, please collect it." Zhang Fan took out the silver bag from his arms and handed it straight to the woman in front of him.

The young woman looked beautiful and tired. She took the silver bag, opened it and counted it, and said softly: "Husband, this month's salary of one and a half taels of 10,000 yuan is barely enough to maintain the family income. But after a while, it's time for the child to go to school. At that time, even if I take on some embroidery work, it's probably difficult to maintain. I have to save more money on food, clothing and expenses."

"Madam, it's all bad for your husband, and you and your son have suffered."

"What did you say in your husband? I blamed you before. You were reckless in your case and offended Shangguan many times. I was worried about being afraid of disaster. As long as you are not so reckless, I am not afraid of being a little harder and tired."

Listening to his wife's words, Zhang Fanzhi felt even more and more uncomfortable, and put a little wine and meat in his hand aside.

"You just got sick some time ago and my son was also growing up. During this period, the family still had to have some meat and meat. You can braise the meat in a while. As for the silver issue, I will find a way for my husband to do it. It will not delay my son's future."

The young woman nodded, said nothing more, picked up the wine and meat, and entered the kitchen.

Sitting on a chair and looking at the home where the house is barely covered, Zhang Fanzhi sighed.

Since the eldest general died of illness and was demoted, the situation at home has become worse than that of the day. Even if he is tightly wearing a belt, his meager salary is really difficult to maintain his family income.

Looking out from the open door, the child was playing with mud in the yard with a smile. Zhang Fanzhi remembered what his wife mentioned just now, and felt even more stuffy.

Just then, someone asked loudly outside the gate of the courtyard: "Zhang Fanzhi, does Lord Zhang live here?"

"Dad, dad, someone is looking for you." As soon as the child heard this, he immediately put down the mud in his hand and ran in.

"Dad knows, wash your hands and go to the stove to find your mother." Zhang Fan said straight after touching his son's little head. When the youngest son ran in, he stood up and walked out of the house.

The gate of the courtyard is nailed with wood, and you can see some scenes outside in the gaps.

As soon as he approached, Zhang Fanzhi could see clearly that the young man holding a horse was calling outside.

Seeing through, it is not an ordinary person.

"I am Zhang Fanzhi, what are you asking for me?" Zhang Fanzhi asked directly when he opened the door.

"It turns out that you are Lord Zhang. I am entrusted by someone to deliver a letter to Lord Zhang!" The young man took out a letter from his arms and said with a smile.

"Please come in and speak first." Zhang Fan was so polite, so he was not easy to speak at the door, so he let him in, and his eyes immediately fell on the horse led by the visitor, and his eyes sank.

"Please read the letter first. After reading it, let's talk about your purpose." The young man tied the horse to the yard, followed Zhang Fan into the house and said with a smile, but he didn't want to stay in this dilapidated house.

Zhang Fanzhi didn't know the other party's purpose, so he had to open the letter first. It seemed that he was shocked when he saw it.

When he raised his head again, his face was filled with an incredible look and he couldn't speak for a long time: "This letter was really written by General Dingyuan? Do you think Zhang would believe in such an absurd thing?"

Although I didn't believe it, my heart still jumped up wildly.

The content of this letter roughly means that I heard that Zhang Fanzhi was talented in the training of the navy. Now that the Wenyang County Navy was first established, I would like to ask Zhang Fanzhi to go to Wenyang County to serve as an official, directly as an agent general, and the salary was 25 taels of silver per month, and the settlement fee was given separately. The residential courtyards have been settled, and they are only waiting for him to bring his family in.

The signature of the letter is clearly the name of Wang Hongyi.

Not to mention that Zhang Fanzhi is just a deputy guard general of the navy in the old Jingfanyang County, and is not considered successful. Even when he gained power, he would not often see the commander-in-chief.

Wang Hongyi established himself as General Dingyuan and possessed two counties. There was a vague rumor that the general would actually send him a handwritten letter to invite him to serve as an official. This is not an absurd thing, why?

"Mr. Zhang doesn't know anything. When the eldest general was alive, he had some family friendships with the prince and his clan, and had some private contact with the prince and his king. The prince had known your name for a long time. Now, Wenyang Changding County was first established. It was the time to use people. I heard that Mr. Zhang was in Fanyang County and his talent was not allowed to be displayed. Then, after my Song family caravan passed by here, I brought this letter to Mr. Zhang. If Mr. Zhang was willing, he could rush to Wenyang Mansion at any time. The prince attached great importance to you. If he arrived at Wenyang Mansion, he would definitely be able to show his talent." The young man explained.

Staring at the other party for a moment, he thought of the best good horse he had just seen. How could such a person deceive him with nonsense?

When they arrived at the other party, they took out a package: "This is a travel fee of fifty taels of silver."

When Zhang Fanzhi saw the white silver, he finally believed it and was very happy. If he had to hesitate before, the current "Grandmaster's talent carving" made him angry and agreed immediately.

The young man did this matter without staying for a long time and said goodbye and left after a moment.

After the young man left, he told his wife that although Zhang's wife had some concerns, she never objected.

"It would be too much for me to come here alone. I will call my brothers together, and everyone will have a drink. If they want, they will go together. It is better than being suppressed by others in this place." Zhang Fanzhi said with pleasure in his heart.

After walking out of the house, he called a few old brothers over, and then brought some wine and meat. Everyone sat down and drank together.

During this time, I talked about this matter with these people.

Now these former navy generals were all unsuccessful. When they heard that Zhang Fanzhi was invited by the prince to serve in office, these people were very envious.

When Zhang Fanzhi suggested that everyone rushed to Wenyang Mansion together, these people were only hesitant and shouted angrily: "I don't want to stay here anymore. Let's go, let's go together!"

Only when talents have no way to go, the "carving" and "reusing" of the superiors will work. If they are not allowed to go, they will often only cause discontent.
