Chapter 43
Today is a good weather, the ice on the streets begins to melt, and the temperature makes people feel that there is no need to wear the bulky cotton coat and trousers, just wear the spring and autumn jacket. This capricious climate will indicate that the summer will be drier and hotter in the future.
However, the refugees and beggars on the street were extremely happy, because even at night, they would not be frozen to death. During the day, they were also energetic, from the Three and May Day groups, chasing the carriages of the passing or dressed people, asking for food for the day.
Zhao Xing was dressed in decent clothes, but no one dared to chase him and ask for it, because his red flying fish suit and grand embroidered spring sword made the plague god unhurried.
Zhao Xing took his waist card early to a hundred household office in the south of the city, where he would be his own office.
This hundred households are very dilapidated. It is not that the Jinyiwei has no income, but that all officials adhere to the rules of not building yamen and not building shops. Because in this era, repairing yamen is not only a popular deal, but also a loss-making business. However, unlike later generations, when new officials took office, even if they repaired a toilet, they had to start construction, because it was an opportunity to get extra money and get filial kickbacks.
According to the rules at that time, when Zhao Xing came, the old household was taking a family with him, and Qiqi was packing up his things and moving in panic. The old household with only three teeth left quickly nodded and bowed to explain: "I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry. The house outside has not been rented yet, but it doesn't matter, we will move immediately."
Zhao Xing comforted the senior who had only three teeth in total and was about two hundred years old: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In fact, I have a home myself and don't want to live here. You two elders can continue living, so why should you rent a house again?"
Looking at the shocked and disbelief expression, Zhao Xing said sincerely again: "You are a senior and live here for less than thirty years, but forty years. This place has long been your home, so why move again?"
Hearing this, the old family couldn't help but cry in tears, looking at every brick and tile, wiping tears and saying, "It was the beginning of a hundred families that I took over from my father. I also became a hundred families. I gave birth to, grew up here, married and had children here, and walked here until the end of the day, and here, it had long become my home. But I had no children, and no one took over my position again, and I was about to be abolished, so, so--" When I said this, the old couple couldn't help but hold their heads and cry.
When Zhao Xing saw this, he felt even more reluctant, so he comforted him: "Senior, you don't have to move anymore, just stay there. In this way, I will guard the door and guard the yard for me, and I will also give you a portion of money and food to support my family. Secondly, you are a senior, and I, a young man, can ask for advice at any time. Isn't this a killing of multiple goals in one fell swoop?"
In this era, officials retire without pensions. Of course, it is great to get a door-guarded food. The most important thing is that they don’t have to move out of the place where the father and son live, and of course they are even more happy. So the old household opened their arms and said happily to their daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren and daughter: "For the grace of the new master, we don’t have to move the house. Hurry up and move the house back."
So the family happily moved the things inside.
As a result, Guo Guangsheng, who had already entered the status of a master, complained in regret: "I thought that if I could bring my granddaughter to live here, it would be less trouble for your family."
Zhao Xing smiled slightly: "Mom and I are used to having you, the elder, the little girl and the puppy, and also used to getting in and out of Zhaodi, the playmate. Isn't this good?"
Guo Guangsheng stood there and a hint of warmth rose in his heart, because his family was destroyed, so why don’t he want to have another warm and lively home?
But after all, the feeling of living under someone else's roof made him feel uneasy.
Before he could explain, Zhao Xing smiled and said, "You forgot, I don't know how long we can do this job. At that time, will it be troublesome to move around?"
Guo Guangsheng laughed relievedly: "Yes, yes, then, let's just live by the two of us."
The two were talking, and there was a chaotic situation outside the Hundred Houses. In a blink of an eye, a large group of Jinyiwei came in, with a total of 100 pieces. When they saw Zhao Xing and the waist signs around his waist, one hundred people immediately formed a team and arranged neatly in the yard.
Zhao Xing's immediate superior, Qianhu, came out from the crowd, and Zhao Xing hurried forward to meet.
After a few official words, Qianhu was fortunate to join Baihu who had seen the emperor and was appreciated by the commander, and turned into a smile. He pointed at the Jinyiwei Lishi Captains in front of Zhao Xing: "I will handle it overnight after the commander's order. The brothers below are all the elite soldiers and generals in our Qianhu Office. None of them is a waste of money, and they are full of them."
Zhao Xing knew that this was definitely not a false statement, because he would take on the case assigned by the emperor in the future. If the case was done well, the Jinyiwei would not be laid off. If the case was broken, the Jinyiwei would not have a future. For everyone's investment, Luo Yangxing would definitely draw the most capable people to him.
After saying thank you, Qianhu personally recommended to Zhao Xing: "This is your deputy, please try Qianhu Qiancheng. These two are your two generals. This is called Wang Shenglin and this is called Hou Zhiwang."
Zhao Xing looked at him and his deputy tried Qian Qiancheng, a sensible man, neither excited nor complained. After bowing, he stood there and looked up and down with a plain look. Zhao Xing commented in his heart that this person had a peaceful and steady personality, but he was the same as himself.
It seems that Wang Shenglin is a tall and mighty man. The cotton robe in the Jinyiwei Feiyu suit cannot cover his strong body muscles. It is obvious that he has practiced external skills.
But some other general Hou Zhiwang, as he was named, looked at him, and seemed to be calculating in his head what to say every word, which was definitely a calculating ghost.
The one hundred brothers below were all energetic, full of vitality and enthusiasm, and they did not have the twilight energy or bandit spirit of the Jinyiwei for hundreds of years. It seems that Luo Yangxing really invested a lot this time.
