Chapter 2 All are busy

Chapter 2: The governor is busy with everything

The bannermen in various parts of the Qing Dynasty lived in the city. The bannermen in Guangzhou lived in the east and west from the Xichengmen to Sipailou, and from the north to the south from the Guidemen wall of Dade Street to the center of Guangta Street. The city wall was built in this area, which was also called the banner city. The officers and soldiers of the Eight Banners were not allowed to leave the area beyond the ten miles of the banner city.

The Manchu Metropolitan Government Office is located in Dashi Street within the Banner City. It consists of five courtyards. Dozens of houses with green walls and green tiles are covered by green wood. It is also majestic in the depth. The courtyards in front of the yamen are the lobby, hall, left, right and other halls, and the two entrances are the deputy headquarters mansion.

The deputy chief officer took office and all the officials of all sizes came to pay their respects. In the lobby of the magnificent chief officers, he came to the flower hall of the West Courtyard. Abu stood with his hands down. When he saw him coming in, he hurriedly took two steps to fight: "Slave Abu, please help me!"

Ye Zhao was stunned. This slave master was not screaming, and he was not a mansion, so even if he wanted to curry favor with him, he would have passed.

But Abu said respectfully: "The slave in the blue flag is a great blessing for the slave to be able to serve his master this time."

Ye Zhao suddenly realized that it turned out that the prince was the lord of the blue flag, and he was the future lord of the flag. Although he was a false reputation, the master could shout.

After sitting in the head, Ye Zhao smiled and said, "Get up, wait for a while, you have worked hard." Since you call yourself a slave, I will naturally not call you a sir. You are too polite and too distant, and it will be unbeautiful.

Abu got up, presented a thick stack of documents with both hands, and replied: "This is the document that the master told the slave to organize. Please read it."

Ye Zhao nodded slightly and took it over and looked through it. First, there was a quota of soldiers, a total of 120 soldiers, a total of 150 vanes, 730 vests, eight craftsmen (one for each banner), one copper smith, four blacksmiths, two hundred deputy armor, one hundred and twenty raising soldiers, twenty remaining soldiers, and a total of 1,753 soldiers from the Eight Banners of Manchu.

On the ordnance, there were four hundred and twenty-one horses, five thousand one hundred and twenty-two arrows, two thousand two hundred and thirty-one knives, one hundred and sixty-five rattan cards, bird machine guns, horse bird guns, three hundred and seventy-four bird guns, mother-child cannons, Weiyuan cannons, iron shouting cannons, mountain-slashing cannons, lifting cannons, and forty-three camp cannons.

Looking at the bird guns and cannons, they are actually not as powerful as those of later generations. They are cumbersome to load and are two or three hundred years behind the West. As for those local cannons, they may still be useful against mobs, but if they fight with Western countries, they are probably not worth mentioning.

Among them were 612 people from the Navy's Banner, equipped with two stern boats, four oar boats, seven small boats, etc.

Ye Zhao shook his head secretly when he saw it. This is also called a navy. Isn’t it a fantasy? The largest ship, the stern ship, is just a sand ship. According to the document, "forty or fifty soldiers" and tied up some guns and earth cannons to be raised, it is called a navy. I am afraid that even patrolling merchant ships in the Pearl River is not as good as it is.

I looked at the salary and salary determination again. The vest soldiers, which are the official lowest-level Eight Banners officers and soldiers, can actually receive salary of 43 taels per cent, five cents and three cents per year, twenty-three stones, five dou and nine liters of six, a large bag of salt, and a large amount of red silver, white silver and other inputs. According to the current prices in Guangzhou City, it is worry-free to support a family of small families.

The following document records in detail the number of Manchurian Banners in the banner city, the Eight Banners officers and soldiers, the families of the accompanying army, and the bannermen who have been stationed for generations.

In the flag city, there are official schools, charity schools, academies, granaries, silver warehouses, military instrument warehouses, gunpowder bureaus, prisons, and other living facilities for the people. This has formed a small society in the city.

"You go back, the same thing, I like leisure. If you can take the lead in the affairs of the yamen, you can take the lead. As for me, I don't want to go to the yamen to deal with some trivial matters every day." Ye Zhao put down the document book and said to Abu with a smile.

Abu hurriedly called Qian: "Zha, the servant will pay attention to it, and the servant is willing to share the worries of the master."

"Well, you go." Ye Zhao looked at Abu hanging his hands and exiting the side hall. After picking up the document book and looking through it for a while, he couldn't help getting tired. He smiled bitterly in his heart. He was getting lazy and lazy.

After taking a shower, he yawned into the dormitory, but under the red candle, Rong'er was fiddling with the kaleidoscope. Maybe he didn't expect Ye Zhao to go back to the room so early. Rong'er let out a scream and the kaleidoscope fell to the ground.

Influenced by Ye Zhao, the couple both wore pajamas. According to Ye Zhao's sketch, the master of Ruifulong, the capital city, was meticulously sewn and the fine silk cloth was extremely comfortable to wear. The little guy fell in love with it once and felt that it was really comfortable to sleep in pajamas.

Now she is wearing cute pajamas and pajamas with tender green silk, but she squats on the chair, with her snow-white feet standing on the chair, and her eyebrows are picturesque, and her eyes are carved and carved. The cute little beauty is as cute as she is.

Ye Zhao was also stunned. You should know that although Ye Zhao treated the little guy as a child, Rong'er was not that childish. She was usually generous and had a stern look on her words and deeds, but she had never seen her play with her feet up like a child.

Seeing Rong'er's panic, Ye Zhao's belly was so funny. But he knew that the little guy wanted to save face, and the most taboo thing was that his husband regarded her as a child.

Ye Zhao even knew that if he hadn't "spoken and tempted" himself, how could Rong'er become playful?

Ye Zhaoke was worried that she would learn from the pain after showing the little fox's tail today and "repaired with the past", so he pretended to be confused and rubbed his eyes and cursed: "What kind of wind does this ghost weather cause? The territory of the Southern Barbarians is just not used to living!"

Out of the corner of my eyes, I saw Rong'er slapping her chest as if she was relieved. She jumped off the chair with her little body, pulled her embroidered slippers with her snow-white feet, walked over with lotus steps in a good manner, and said with concern: "My husband, Rong'er will help you blow." The concern is true.
