Chapter 39: Capturing the Camp (Part 2)
Chapter 39: Capture the Camp (Central)
But when Amur was really talking about his heartlessness, his eyes suddenly became hot, and he patted Yelu Zhao's shoulder and sighed endlessly.
The salary of the Yuan Dynasty has always been divided into two parts: paper banknotes and field land. Since the date of its establishment, it has been only released but not recycled, and the value has been depreciated endlessly. The year before yesterday, Tuotuo even opposed the public opinion and printed the "Zhizheng Orthogonal Banknotes", which resulted in the price rising tenfold within a few months after the issuance of the new banknotes. Even in places like the emperor like Dadu, a dou of millet has risen to more than fifty cents of banknotes. When people buy rice, they even need to use a chicken bus to exchange for banknotes. (Note 1)
In this case, the little income from the field alone will definitely not be able to satisfy the daily expenses of a thousand households from the fourth rank. The military officer is not as good as a civil servant. He cannot examine the case and interfere with taxes. He usually has little way to make money, so whenever he goes to the battle, he will take the lead and do not distinguish between enemies and us. Otherwise, let alone the soldiers who are in the army cannot raise morale, the generals themselves cannot recover their capital.
But robbing one's own people is not a long-term solution after all. It's okay if you win every battle. The court can turn a blind eye to these behaviors. If you suffer a defeat or stand in the wrong team in the court's power struggle, then these crimes will have to be settled together with the old and new accounts. If you don't do it well, you will have to pay the whole family's lives.
"Brother, don't worry." Yelu Zhao is best at dealing with various corrupt officials. Seeing that the other party was obviously moved by his words, he added with heart-to-heart. "I have never lacked ways to make money. All I lack is connections and goods. As long as you are willing to believe me and work with my brother, I promise that you will never have to worry about money in the rest of your life. If you don't keep your word, you can ask my head at any time."
"I've said this, when did I say I don't believe you?" Amur immediately protested loudly.
"I just said, I want you to put your heart in your stomach." Yelu Zhao smiled and approached the other party, and continued to strode towards the central army.
Before the road was halfway, the two of them had become friends who had committed suicide, and they almost knelt down and twisted the soil to incense and kowtowed to pray for the hands. When the soldiers of other tribes in the camp saw it, they were even more afraid to neglect them. They picked up the tents for the whole family close to the central army. They arranged them so much that they were spacious and arranged, for fear that they would accidentally neglect their friends of the Qianhu family and then put on their shoes afterwards.
The guy Yu Tingyu was also very wise. After entering the camp, he immediately asked his brothers behind him to go down to rest with the Han army leading the way. He had to hear the call from the shopkeeper and not walk around freely. He followed Yelu Zhao closely behind him with another young man named Lu Li, waiting for the order at any time.
After a while, the three of them were taken outside the central army tent. Amur Buhua waved his hand apologetically and asked the guests to take it at the door. He rushed in as quickly as possible to report the details to Shandong Xuanwei Deputy Envoy Shi Jiana. Shandong Xuanwei Deputy Envoy Shi Jiana is a fourth-rank high-ranking official, both in charge of military and civilians, and has a more way to make money than ordinary generals, so his attitude was not as active as Amur Buhua. He sat inside and put on airs before waved his hand and ordered someone to summon someone to come in and reply.
Yelu Zhao has been working with them all year round and has long been used to these open and secret ways. After hearing the orders from the personal soldiers, he immediately cleared his throat and rushed into the military tent. While running, he shouted loudly: "The tent of King Lu, the shopkeeper of Ninghai Business Company of Shandong Road, and the grass-rootsman Bater, pay homage to Lord Xuanwei, and wish Lord Xuanwei to rise step by step, enter the Secretariat as soon as possible, and accompany His Majesty to the left and right."
After saying that, he knelt down from a distance and kowtowed to Shi Jiana respectfully.
Shi Jiana is very utilitarian. He heard the other party say it so well, and immediately stood up from the handsome case with a smile, shook his head and said, "Okay, you Bartel, haven't seen each other for a few days. The kung fu in his mouth is getting more and more skillful. Get up, I'm busy dealing with the serious business, and I don't have time to help you."
"How dare you? Bater has no fame and honor, how dare you work hard to comfort him?" Yelu Zhao, who was a pseudonym Bater, responded with a smile, respectfully knocked all three heads, then slowly stood up, and retreated to the place close to the door with a smile.
"Get over, what are you doing so far? I won't eat you." Shi Jiana gave him a blank look and laughed and scolded with anger.
"Hey." Yelu Zhao agreed repeatedly, moved forward with his body sideways, and stopped again half a foot away from the Shuai Case, and said with his hands, "I know that the adults are busy with official duties, Caomin should not have taken the liberty to disturb him, but it has been chaotic outside recently. Caomin is afraid that he will worry about you, so after dealing with the goods on hand, he hurried over to report his safety."
"Well, you are a conscientious person." Shi Jiana stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction.
Behind the other party were King Lu, King Guangning, King Liao and other relatives of the Yuan Dynasty, as well as the right chief of the Secretariat, the right chief of the Secretariat, the censor Turtbuhua and other ministers in the court. The actual status was not much lower than that of him, the fourth-rank deputy envoy of Xuanwei, so he did not dare to do too much. After he had enough face, he quickly went down the road.
"Waiter dared not do his best to do his best to do his best to do his best," Yelu Zhao smiled and took over the conversation, saying, "If you don't have any skills like this, if you don't take care of the food for your food, you would have starved to death on the side of the road. Of course, you should use as much skills as you have, in order to repay you."
"Yeah." Shi Jiana felt relieved and smiled again, "There is no need to be humble. If you are interested in fame and fortune, you will not worry about not being able to stand on the right list. Why, after knowing the news about Jiaozhou, I thought you were also trapped in the hands of the Red Trouble. The Buddha blessed me, you have not been there these days." (Note 2)
"Isn't it a blessing for you all?" Yelu Zhao clasped his fists again and bowed to the north. "Last time I left you, I was supposed to go to Jiaozhou, but I happened to send someone to chase me and ask Caomin to go to Weizhou to receive a batch of red goods that the nobles wanted. As a result, Caomin rushed over and just escaped a deadly disaster."
"Oh, you're really lucky." Shi Jiana was skeptical, looked at Yelu Zhao a few times, and commented with a smile.
Regardless of whether the other party is telling the truth or not, it is a skill to avoid Jiaozhou in the past few days. The abilities of the sects of the northern kings of the North are all very good at getting the news in advance, so there is no need to report to him, a fourth-rank official. Of course, he has no courage to meddle in other people's affairs.
"It's a coincidence, it's just a coincidence. Now when I think about it, I'm scared." Yelu Zhao knew that the other party had a question, but deliberately refused to explain more. He raised his sleeves and pretended to wipe his head a few times, and then added with a smile, "Fortunately, it didn't delay the noble people's affairs. The last time you entrust, Caomin, also answered the letter."
Speaking of this, he suddenly turned his head to the door of the Central Army tent and shouted, "Where are people, why don't you quickly submit the receipts of adults. They are all those who have no eyesight. When you see the real Buddha, you will get diarrhea and support you in vain."
"Oh, come, come, let's calm down your anger, calm down your anger." When Yu Tingyu heard this, he immediately responded in a pure Shangdu-anum Mongolian dialect. Then, he took a heavy bag from the war horse and carried it into the central army's tent with Lu Li.
The actions of the master and servant were seriously violated the rules in the military camp. Shi Jiana frowned and wanted to scold him. However, seeing Yu Tingyu's familiar Mongolian dress, a hint of wealth on his face, the anger in his heart instantly decreased a lot. He glared at Yelu Zhao and asked in a low voice: "What is this? What does your brother call his subordinates into our central army? What does it mean?"
"Sir, don't blame me." Yelu Zhao smiled and bowed gently, "Isn't Caomin anxious? So he is a little reckless in his work. You always forgive me, Xiuyi, don't put down the receipt and get out by yourself."
"Yes." Yu Tingyu agreed respectfully, put the bag heavily on the ground, and then both Lu Li raised his hand at Shi Jiana, turned around and strode away.
"They?" Shi Jiana was stunned, and a vigilant arose.
"My prince sent the personal guard to Caomin, I just came from the north and didn't understand the rules of the Central Plains. Please forgive me." Yelu Zhao smiled again and responded with a sarcasm.
"It turns out to be the guard of the royal palace, no wonder it looks so capable." Shi Jiana suddenly realized and became increasingly afraid to put on the airs of a fourth-rank Xuanwei Deputy Envoy in front of Yelu Zhao.
The kings outside the frontier even sent their guards to Battel, which shows how much importance he attached to this person. If he didn't know what was wrong, he would turn around and chew on the prince. If he couldn't do it well, he would have to retire and return home in advance. There was no need to carefully consider the lightness and heavyness of the account.
"The main reason is that the goods received this time are really expensive. They are here to protect the goods, not to attack Caomin." Yelu Zhao waved his hand and pretended to be mysterious.
"Oh." Shi Jiana and several officials around him pretended to be very understanding and focused on the key points.
"Sir, do you want to check the receipt now? It's better to hurry up and check it. There are other things on the Caomin side, and I want to discuss it slowly with you." Yelu Zhao became more and more arrogant and urged with a smile.
"Yeah,." Shi Jiana frowned, glanced around, then smiled again, and responded loudly: "Well, there are no outsiders here today, just open the package."
"Sir, I still have some chores at work. I want to ask you for a leave." Sun Liangcheng, the sixth-rank capital official, immediately gave a gift and asked loudly.
Several low-ranking sixth-rank and seventh-rank civil and military officials under the Xuanwei Department immediately understood and all stood up and took the initiative to ask for recusation.
"Sir, there are still some things to arrange in the camp. I also want to take a leave of absence from you to deal with it."
"Sir, last general"
"Sir, subordinate"
"Go, go, go, tomorrow morning, don't forget to click Mao." Shi Jiana smiled and waved generously.
In an instant, the central army tent was empty, leaving only a few Mongolian households, staring with their big shiny eyes, waiting for Yelu Zhao's following.
Note 1: Tutuo's change of banknotes is intended to control over-issuance and reduce prices, but due to the crude operational methods and insufficient execution capabilities, "the banknotes were implemented for a long time, and the prices were rushing, and the prices were more than ten times." "Ten ingots of banknotes in the capital (50 jin per ingot), easy to get millet, (Yuan Shi Food and Goods Records)
Note 2: Right list, the imperial examinations of the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian Semu people have simple questions, right list, Han people have difficult questions, left list, but you can become an official after passing the right list, but you need to continue to make points on the left list. Shi Jiana thought Yelu Zhao was a Mongolian, so he can flatter him to be a high school student with the right list.
