Ji Changze screwed up Zhao Zuijian's conspiracy and got a hot potato like 70,000 personal soldiers. This matter was the understanding of many people in the court as to the reason why Ji Changze gained military power.
Naturally, everyone wants military power, but if they can take care of their own food and accommodation, no one wants to get their hands on it. Food and drink for 70,000 people is not a small sum, and people who can only eat food every day will go bankrupt.
Master Ji is a scheming person, and he has always been the only one who plots against others. This is the first time that he has been tricked so miserably.
But no one dared to laugh at him.
Didn’t you see that Zhao Zuijian, who had tricked him, was already dead
It was said that when he wanted to meet the Holy Emperor, he slipped and fell down the stairs and died on the spot. But he had just tricked Ji Changze in the front leg, and died in an "accidental" accident in the back leg.
Who believes it
Ji Changze!
It was definitely Ji Changze who did it.
Most of the courtiers said nothing on their faces, but in their hearts they were even more afraid of Ji Changze's viciousness and cruelty and the power of his men.
That's the royal palace, His Majesty's territory.
Think about it, Ji Changze can actually kill people in the palace. How terrifying is his power
Zhao Zuijian had just deceived him with his front foot, and he killed the person with his back foot. Who could retaliate so quickly like him
The kind of people in the official court who would rather break than bend and throw their lives into the clouds have long since disappeared (except for the lucky Liu Shengyan). After all, His Majesty also dislikes this type of people the least.
After so many years, if there is an official who puts life and death at risk, then His Majesty can make the other party directly do it.
Therefore, the remaining officials still cherish their lives very much.
Knowing that Ji Changze would be dissatisfied after being cheated this time, even if he killed the culprit directly, he might still be angry.
In order to avoid this scene, it has been a month since Ji Changze took the military power. There is no splash in the court, as if this incident has never happened.
Many people had made plans in their hearts. When Ji Changze couldn't hold on anymore and begged His Majesty to take back the military power, they would look at each other and pretend that they were blind and deaf. Anyway, they would never give him a look, so as not to arouse the other party's hatred.
However, I don't know if it's because Ji Changze's family is rich. It's been a month, but he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he has no intention of asking His Majesty to take back his military power.
What's going on? Doesn't it cost money for these 70,000 people
If Ji Changze knew what they were thinking, he would definitely answer them kindly.
Of course, it's still very expensive. After all, there are so many people, and it costs a lot just to fill their bellies every day, but who makes him an ordinary traitorous minister.
As a traitor, how could he have no money
Just selling off any of the gifts the original owner received before would be enough to last for a while.
What's more, he doesn't really plan to use his own assets to support these 70,000 people.
Only children have to be taken care of by others, and of course adults have to fend for themselves.
Who said soldiers can only be used during war
The soldiers of the Wen Dynasty, taking the example from the border area, were usually self-sufficient and worked part-time growing grain and raising livestock.
In other words, the 70,000 soldiers in the capital did not farm or raise livestock. It was not because the western suburbs were not large enough, nor because the livestock could not be raised.
But it was simply a rule set by the previous Emperor Wen Dynasty, so they didn't have to do these things.
Originally, the previous emperor set this rule so that the 70,000 personal soldiers who were specially used to protect himself could devote themselves wholeheartedly to improving their own force value. Anyway, the soldiers were fed and drank by the richest people in the world. The emperor came to settle it.
The emperor who originally formulated this regulation probably did not expect that one of the future generations would give up military power to himself without spending any money.
Just because soldiers can't farm or raise livestock doesn't mean they can't do other things.
Others didn't know what Ji Changze was thinking. They only saw him going to meet His Majesty once. By the next day, an abandoned road began to be paved with bricks.
After the paving was completed, the craftsmen began to build small houses that were exactly the same.
You say this is not a house, and it is indeed a shelter from wind and rain. You say it is a house. It is very small in area, a square one. There are no partitions or anything else inside, just rows of houses. Standing there.
Although this deserted road was bought by Ji Changze, he did not prohibit others from walking on his road. Therefore, many people would poke their heads in and take a look when passing by, wondering what the purpose of this was.
It doesn't look like a place for people to live, there isn't even a cubicle.
Building so many small houses naturally required a lot of manpower, so they discovered that the imperial soldiers who lived in the western suburbs actually came to move bricks.
It's not that the work is very hard. After all, they are all strong men. They have eaten well in the past month and have gained strength. Plus there are so many people, it is too easy for them to move bricks.
But, these are the soldiers of the Imperial City!
This is the last line of defense in Beijing!
How can we let them move bricks!
The above thoughts were naturally beyond the imagination of the common people, but some court officials discovered the matter, and the originally quiet court once again stirred up some turmoil.
Some people are eager to read Ji Changze's book, but they think that this happened after Ji Changze met His Majesty before. Maybe His Majesty agreed.
If he didn't agree, Ji Changze wouldn't let these soldiers move the bricks so openly.
And although moving bricks seems like hard work, it is also a way of exercise (self-comfort).
Because of the glorious history of someone messing with Ji Changze on the front foot, and Ji Changze on the back foot killing people, even if many people murmured in their hearts that letting the imperial soldiers carry bricks was against the rules and overqualified, they still didn't dare to jump out and beep.
Other dynasties are fine, but this dynasty is in the difficult mode. Those who are bold will be dead long ago, and those who are not courageous can survive.
Coupled with the attributes of Ji Changze and His Majesty (neither of them is very reliable), there was no ginseng book in the end.
However, an official asked Ji Changze in a slightly cautious and tactful manner.
"How can we get the imperial soldiers to carry bricks? They are not the type to do such a thing."
Ji Changze didn't feel that he was being swayed, and replied with a very good attitude: "Moving bricks is also a exercise in strength. If this gentleman feels that they are not suitable to move bricks to support themselves, why don't you help me and tell His Majesty Say? Let your majesty take charge of the expenses of the 70,000 personal soldiers?"
The officer immediately shut up.
Ji Changze hadn't stopped yet: "Otherwise, that's fine. Sir, you see that your family is in a good situation. How about you contribute to the country and donate some money so that these soldiers can just train and do nothing else?"
Official: "Haha... Haha, I suddenly remembered that something happened. Mr. Ji, walk slowly, walk slowly."
He retreated quickly.
Ji Changze looked at his back with sighing eyes, and sighed with regret: "Why don't you leave? We haven't said how much we will donate yet. We are all the pillars of the Wen Dynasty, and we should contribute to it." The imperial soldiers contributed their share."
After saying that, he turned his eyes to an official who was passing by and eavesdropping, and his eyes lit up.
"Sir, do you think it is against the rules to move bricks with your own soldiers? If not, please donate some money..."
The official who originally only wanted to eat the melon never expected that the melon would actually come to him while he was eating it, and his expression froze.
"Xiaguan... Xiaguan's family is poor..."
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Even if you donate it, I won't laugh at you."
"But the official... I don't think there is anything wrong with these soldiers moving bricks. I heard that they are all working very hard."
After saying a few words, he quickly slipped away.
Seventy thousand soldiers, this is a bottomless pit. He was crazy to donate. He also knew that if he gave money today, it would be equivalent to becoming a money bag for this bottomless pit in the future.
Ji Changze could really do such a thing.
Some people had imagined how Ji Changze would deal with other people's objections before. They thought that he had already discussed it with His Majesty, and they also thought that he would rant as usual.
But no one thought that Ji Changze, who had received 70,000 burdens, seemed to be a different person.
If you tell me what I did wrong, I will listen with a smile and a good attitude, but I don’t listen for free, you have to pay.
And it's not enough to pay less, and it's not enough to pay once. Not to mention that the personal soldiers are not used to do chores, but are they used at critical moments? Then I guess you don't mind helping to raise soldiers who can take action at critical moments.
Why do you let me raise you
You can't stand it when people want to make money with their own hands, so why don't you support them
Reasonable and convincing.
Master Ji, who once criticized the sky, the earth, and the air, has changed.
So soon, everyone knew it.
Since he has 70,000 more mouths to feed, Mr. Ji is no longer interested in criticizing others. He will listen to them, but he has to pay for it.
Within three days, the voices that tried to express opinions on Ji Changze in the court disappeared without a trace.
It was calm, as if this incident had never happened.
Ji Changze naturally wouldn't tell them. He had indeed complained to the emperor before that it was too difficult to raise 70,000 people, so he decided to build a shopping street to raise these people. Some training could also be used in this shopping street. On the one hand, it can not only train people, but also let them do more things, so as not to just eat and work all day long.
The words "just eat but not do anything" are really too much to poke fun at the emperor.
That’s right!
This group of people just eat and do nothing else!
He spent all the money in his treasury all day long, but it was of no use at all. If the opportunity he found hadn't been passed on to Ji Changze, the person with 70,000 mouths would be the emperor himself.
Of course, the emperor would not think about the problem that these people themselves did not want to just eat or do anything.
In short, Ji Changze didn't even mention it when these people were asked to move bricks. Although the emperor was reluctant to part with money, he also wanted face, so he would most likely not agree.
But this is not important.
There were only a few close confidants around the emperor who held real power. Zhou Quanxiao had fallen, the eunuch in charge was gone, Zhao Zuijian had just died, and the remaining ones were useless at all.
He is no longer the smart emperor he used to be. He sits in the palace all day without going out. As long as the people below don't tell him the news from outside, he won't know.
The courtiers won't say anything either.
After all, this was the emperor's own fault. The things he did before laid a good foundation for today. Everyone agreed that their majesty could do any ridiculous thing, and he could even commit 70,000 personal soldiers to When the ministers take care of things, it doesn't matter if they agree to these soldiers to move bricks.
So, under the threat of Ji Changze's money, no one even mentioned it to the emperor.
Bearded Fang, who had watched the whole process, was terrified!
He really didn't know why Ji Changze told him about plotting against His Majesty.
And it was such a blatant calculation without any cover-up.
The key is, His Majesty actually didn't notice it.
While he felt relieved, he couldn't help but said to Ji Changze: "Sir, this is too risky. If something goes wrong, His Majesty will definitely be angry if he finds out."
"I know." Ji Changze was looking at the soldiers training below. It was different when they were full. The situation of most of them was completely different from a month ago. Although the long-term malnutrition was not the same as a month ago. It can be replenished quickly, but the mental energy is completely different.
When practicing various weapons, the roar coming from the chest was very loud.
Ji Changze was very satisfied with the results. The previous emperors were right to let these soldiers concentrate on training, but that was only needed in wartime.
In peacetime, it is a waste of talents for soldiers to stay in one place all day long and do the same thing every day.
Just look at modern times, when soldiers only train in the military camp every day and do nothing else. Every time there is a major event or natural disaster in the country, they will be sent there immediately.
Not only did the emperor dislike them, but others also ignored them and bullied them at will. Even they themselves felt that being a soldier was a hard job and they were unlucky enough to become a soldier.
Those who did not have food or clothing at ordinary times were deducted from military pay, and when there was war, they were sent to die.
If it weren't for the fact that desertion was a capital offense, they would have run away long ago.
But things are different now.
Since Mr. Ji came, they have been able to eat well every day, and those shabby mattresses have been replaced with comfortable and warm quilts. Sometimes it is very cold at night, and even if they come out to light a fire and talk together, Mr. Ji will not Will reprimand.
Of course, you still have to get up on time the next day.
Although they would still get up even without this rule, after all, everyone can eat half an egg in the morning.
After a month, the accountant in Ji Changze's house had a dark face, but the soldiers were all smiling, their faces became rosy, their bodies began to grow flesh, and they were particularly energetic in everything they did.
When it comes to moving bricks, they are even scrambling to get there.
After all, this is a competition.
Mr. Ji asked each hundred people to work in groups, and the yellow card centenarian led them to work in groups. A total of twenty places would be divided, and the twenty places would be divided into the top three, which would be determined according to the speed and quality of each group's work. .
The reward is naturally not money. Unless you give a lot of money, there won't be much left if divided among a hundred people. Now that the weather is getting cold, Ji Changze sent someone to buy a batch of mutton, and twenty groups can all share enough. Amount of mutton.
In addition to mutton, the first three groups also had additional mysterious rewards. Mr. Ji didn't say what the rewards were, but Mr. Ji has always been generous and will definitely not disappoint.
Because there was a carrot hanging in front of them, and because they had enough to eat and drink during this period, they worked even harder.
Those small houses were completed quickly. They stood in rows together, some were big and some were small. They were basically one row of big ones and one row of small ones, because they were all built the same and the ground was paved with bricks. They looked at It is very different from the houses on other streets.
The illiterate people couldn't tell what was different, but they just felt that it seemed more tidy and made people feel more comfortable.
Only when the people sent by Ji Changze beat gongs and drums and publicized it everywhere did they realize that this street turned out to be a commercial street.
The emergence of new things always arouses everyone's interest, so some people who have just returned to the capital find that they can't understand some of the words spoken by the people around them.
This is the case for a hawker who has just returned from a distant place. He is a hawker walking in the streets. What he needs most is to be well-informed. How can he allow himself not to know new things and just ask his neighbors:
"What is a shopping mall? Why are you all talking about this?"
Immediately, a neighbor told him with a bit of science knowledge: "A shopping street is a street that only does business. There are shops in that street. You don't know what a shop is? Let me tell you, one by one." The small houses are all without doors, and a table can be placed beside the door for guests to view the goods."
"It's all over the street. It's said that it was established with His Majesty's approval. Anyone who sells things or does business, even if it's vegetables, can rent a shop to sell their own goods, and what else, like garbage cleaning, There is an industrial and commercial administration, that is, if you encounter a dishonest customer, as long as you go to the industrial and commercial administration, they will seek justice for you. Naturally, if the seller deceives the customer, the industrial and commercial administration will also punish the seller. people."
She said a long sentence in one breath: "I heard that the Imperial City Guards will have a special place in the shopping street to train. The Imperial City Guards are there. Who dares to mess around? Ahu, haven't you been robbed several times before? Is it? It’s getting more and more chaotic outside now, and there are robbers in many places. Otherwise, it’s better for you to rent a shop in the shopping street than to run out alone and lose your life. "
The salesman named Ahu had some hesitation on his face.
Vendors like them, who carry a basket of things to sell, are not allowed in the capital. Ahu's family is only half as wealthy as the common people, and he can't afford a shop. Only then does he know that his family is in the capital, but he has to travel far away to make a living. .
If he could sell things locally, he would naturally be willing to do so.
"I just don't know if people are willing to rent to me for a small business like mine, and how much the rent will be."
"Small businesses are also fine. People have said that as long as you are selling things, you can rent everything except people and livestock. I think I heard about the rent last time. It is not very expensive, but if you rent it yourself , naturally it’s not cost-effective, you can rent a small shop.”
Ahu asked: "What is a small shop? Does it mean a smaller house?"
"That's not true. Small shops are those separated by normal-sized shops. One shop can be divided into three small shops. The price is cheap. It's just because the place is narrow and the goods are placed inside, so people can only stand. There is no place to sit. It’s a bit more difficult than an ordinary store, but this small store can be rented for five days.”
Ahu smiled: "I have never suffered anything. I just stood there for a day. Thank you very much. I will go and find out. If the rent is really cheap, I will rent a small shop and try it."
When he said this, he felt very relaxed.
Because this is not buying a shop, it's just renting it. No matter how expensive the rent is, it won't be much higher. He's going to try the water. If the business doesn't work, he can just stop renting it.
Ahu went to the shopping street according to the address given by his neighbor. There were already many people there. In addition to ordinary people watching the excitement, some people who wanted to rent shops were inquiring.
There were tables there at regular intervals, and there was a person sitting behind the table. Ahu noticed that people who wanted to rent a shop were queuing up in front of these people, and he quickly found a group with the fewest people to line up.
When he finally arrived, the man asked him, "Just ask me whatever you want to ask."
Ahu swallowed his saliva and said slightly nervously: "I, I would like to ask how much the rent of a small shop is, and how many days can it be rented for at least? Can I rent it?"
The man quickly answered him that the rent was as cheap as the neighbor said.
"The minimum rent is five days. After you make sure you rent, we will hand over the shop to you cleanly. There are also rental shelves that you can choose and try. When the lease is over, if you don't want to continue renting, you have to clean the shop. Clean it and restore it to the way we gave it to you.”
Ahu nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, it should be."
"The small shop is shared by three people, so it is best for the tenants to live in peace with each other. They must not bully the co-tenant or deliberately rob the customers. If such things happen, the Industrial and Commercial Administration Commission will intervene and impose fines in the smallest case and fines in the worst case. Take back the small shops and decide how many days in the future you will not be able to rent the shops depending on the severity of the situation."
These words made Ah Hu feel at ease. If he shared the same place with others, he would naturally worry about meeting someone who was not easy to get along with. It would be nice to have this rule. With this rule, if he can't be offended, someone will naturally take care of him.
"Do you want to rent now? If you want to rent, you have to go to the place with the red plaque over there to pay and choose a shop. Someone will take you to choose one. You just pick the one you like and rent it."
Is it still an option
Ah Hu was full of surprises. He quickly thanked him and walked quickly to the red plaque that the man mentioned. The layout inside was like he had never seen before. Large windows were opened one after another, and people wearing exactly the same clothes were sitting inside. Outside is a hall with benches lined up.
Some people were sitting on a bench and calculating without knowing what they were doing. Others were holding two pieces of paper and were hesitating. A man in uniform came forward and said, "You are here to rent a shop, right? You know how to read." ? If you can’t read, I’ll take you to the counter.”
Ahu knows Braille. He suffered the disadvantage of being illiterate, so he is now an adult. He even bothered to pester a neighbor who knew how to read to teach him. After giving him some goods sold by him, he took some time to study hard every day. , after a few years, he knew some daily words.
After knowing that he was literate, the man said, "Then just read the writing on the counter. If you want to do anything, just go to the counter."
He quickly thanked him and stepped forward to take a look. Sure enough, there was writing on the front of the counter.
When he found the counter of the small rental shop, there was a chair in front of him, and there happened to be no one queuing up. Ahu sat on it with some anxiety. The people inside smiled at him, and his nervousness immediately disappeared.
After knowing that he wanted to check out the small shops to decide which one to rent, the person behind the counter shouted, and a child immediately ran out: "Come with me, and I will take you to see it."
The child didn't just show him the small shops, he also said something else from time to time along the way, for example, the place just now was called the central hall.
"If you want to do anything, just go to the central lobby. Renting and returning a shop, reporting someone making trouble, buying or selling things for use in the shop, paying a deposit and returning the deposit are all done in the central lobby."
Ahu was stunned: "Do you still need to pay a deposit?"
"Yes, otherwise if you rent a shop, damage it and run away, we won't be able to catch you back. Although you have to give your identity when renting a shop, the world is so big and you can't run out of the capital. We can’t catch him either.”
"Don't worry, the deposit will be refunded. The owner of our shopping street is Mr. Ji. Do you know who Mr. Ji is? A second-grade official, His Majesty values them very much. This shopping street was built with His Majesty's permission."
This was the first time Ah Hu heard about Master Ji. He silently remembered this Master Ji in his heart, but he was a little hesitant in his heart whether to rent a shop.
If rent is added, the risk level is a bit high.
But...it's rare to have such an opportunity.
Just as he was hesitating, the child stopped and said, "We're here."
Ahu stopped and looked at a shop in front of him, his eyes widening in surprise.
The shop is indeed divided into three parts. Each part has shelves on the wall, with some small goods neatly placed on them. There is also a small table in front, and the goods are also placed on the table. There is almost no space behind the table. , but there is a long, narrow cabinet placed on the side of the table.
There is a big wooden pot on top, two cups next to it, some household items at the bottom, and some cakes neatly placed in the middle.
"This, this is?"
The child immediately introduced it very skillfully: "This is a model room, because the rented shops have nothing. We specially made a model room so that people who want to rent a shop can see how the shop can be used."
“We used the maximum wall space so that even though the space is small, it doesn’t hinder the placement of goods, and the table can be moved.”
As he spoke, he stepped forward and gently pulled the table. Sure enough, the heavy-looking table was immediately pulled out easily. The child walked in, stood behind, and pulled gently again, and the table was pulled back again. .
"Because the back is used to store goods, there is no room for chairs. This is also a shortcoming of small shops. You can only stand all day."
"Look at the shelf next to the table. This is used to store the merchant's personal belongings, such as the food and drink you bring, sewing, or money boxes for collecting money. The table is hollowed out, so the bottom is also You can store things. Even though this small shop is small, it can really store a lot of things. You will know just by looking at these goods."
Ahu nodded his head as he listened, staring straight at the shelves. In his mind, these were no longer the things in the model room, but the goods he sold himself.
The goods were neatly stacked. He stood behind the table and waited for the guests to arrive. He didn't have to walk through the streets or be frightened. The kettle was placed next to him. He could pour water when he was thirsty and eat the food he brought when he was hungry.
This is simply... his dream future.
He was excited, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not calm down. The hesitation about the rent just disappeared in an instant.
When he saw the empty small shops for rent and learned that shelves could be rented at a low price, Ahu couldn't wait to go to the central hall to sign a contract.
Pay the money, give proof of identity, and press fingerprints. There are two copies of the contract, one in the central hall, and he gets one.
He rented the same shelves as the model room, and the child promised that they would be installed tomorrow morning, so he could just come directly tomorrow.
Until he got home, he was still immersed in excitement and excitement.
The fatigue of running errands just after returning home disappeared instantly. As a salesman carrying goods through the streets, his biggest wish was to have his own shop and not be chased by official officials.
Who would have thought that now he not only has such a shop, but it is also so good.
The news that Ahu signed the contract and paid the rent deposit that day after hearing the news soon spread throughout their small alley.
Some people think Ahu is courageous, while others think Ahu is too impulsive.
"Opening a shop is something we ordinary people can't do. Even if someone rents you a good shop, if you encounter a rogue, you're still a loser."
"Previously, the son of the old Zhang family used the money his father had saved all his life to buy a shop and open a shop. As a result, didn't gangsters come to the door with excuses every day and ask for money? In the end, he didn't make any money, and he even charged a lot. , If the shop hadn’t sold out early, it might have suffered even more losses.”
Ahu didn't care about their gossip, and only explained: "The commercial street has the industrial and commercial administration to take care of these things, and I heard that the Imperial City soldiers will also train there, so no one should dare to cause trouble."
"Just listen to them fooling you. These people want to rent a shop for you to make money. Of course they have to say some nice things to fool you. Your parents left early and you have managed to survive by yourself. Why did you suddenly do this? Confused.”
Ahu didn't know how to refute, so he just smiled and said nothing.
He didn't think Shangjie would lie to him.
He is so grand and grand, and there is a second-rank official, Mr. Ji, behind him, and His Majesty personally gave him permission. How could he lie to others
Moreover, he asked the child that day, and the child said that he was a refugee from Gezhou. His parents were dead and he could not survive. When he was about to starve to death, he was taken back by people from Shang Street. The people from Shang Street Lord Ji felt pity for children like them who could not do hard work to support themselves, so he asked them to do the work of introduction.
Food and accommodation are provided, and there is also money every month. Although it is not much, for children like them, it is already a kindness to survive.
Ah Hu didn't understand the truth, but he felt that it was cheap to buy people nowadays. If Mr. Ji really wanted to find cheap manpower, he could just buy people directly.
But he didn't. Instead, he chose to hire these children without fathers and mothers. He gave them food, a place to live, and paid them. No matter what, he was definitely a good person.
He believed that such a good official would not go back on his word.
Ahu fell asleep with great expectations for the future. At night, he had a beautiful dream. He dreamed that he was standing in the model house he saw during the day, but the goods on it were all sold by himself. He stood there , many customers came forward. He sold many goods and received a lot of money.
He laughed out loud in his sleep, turned over happily, and went back to sleep.
The next day, Ahu got up early and couldn't wait to go to the shopping street. He walked to the shop he rented and found that it was already well-arranged.
Yesterday, the child said that there are still ten days left for the official opening of the shopping mall. During these ten days, he can come to the shop to decorate it. There is a door above the shop, which needs to be pulled down. The key was given to him yesterday.
Ahu was a little afraid to do this. The shopping mall has not yet opened. What if he brought the goods and a thief came to break the door and steal it
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a loud and very rhythmic sound in the distance.
Dong-dong-dong, I don’t know what it is.
He had never heard such a sound before, and was startled. His first reaction was that he was a robber. He subconsciously hid and looked forward, and saw that there were rows of neatly arranged soldiers.
They stepped and ran in unison, and there were people beside them shouting slogans.
"One two one! One two one!"
When that man shouted, all the soldiers shouted in unison and with such force that Ahu was dumbfounded.
This, this looks really shocking.
The soldiers ran past him, and no one glanced at him from beginning to end. After they ran to the front, they turned around and headed to another place.
"Brother, are you looking at these military masters?"
Someone who was decorating the shop talked to him. Ahu nodded, and looked at the direction where the soldiers disappeared, still looking at the direction where the soldiers disappeared. He unconsciously said with some envy: "They... they are really majestic."
"This is your first time here. You will get used to it after you come here a few times. I heard that because the ground here is paved with good bricks, these imperial soldiers come here to train every day, running in groups in circles. , from morning to night.”
"It seems that Master Ji asked them to come. Master Ji is in charge of them. I talked to them when they were resting after running."
This Master Ji is really powerful, and the soldiers he oversees look very different.
He has seen the soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers patrolling the city many times. Although they are both soldiers, no matter in terms of posture, momentum or coordination level, the two are simply not on the same plane.
Ahu suddenly thought of a question: "Since the military master is here all day and night, do thieves not dare to come?"
The man replied: "I'm sure, I'm telling you, a thief came yesterday and was prying open the door. These military officers found out, caught him on the spot, and sent him directly to the government. The broken door The shopping mall also immediately replaced it with a new one."
This is too good...
The hesitation in Ahu's heart disappeared immediately.
He turned around and left. The man asked him why he was going, and he replied: "I'm going home to move the goods."
In the central hall, Ji Changze took a sip of tea and looked at his subordinates in front of him: "You will steal again tomorrow, and then you will be sent to the government."
The subordinate was a little hesitant: "But I was arrested once yesterday. Will anyone recognize it? Besides, the official is also a court official. I'm afraid there is something wrong with doing this..."
"Why don't you just put on a scarf? It's too slow to wait for real thieves to come and let them see how safe our shopping street is. Don't be burdened mentally. Do you think you are going to be a thief?"
Subordinate: "...I, am I not?"
Ji Changze slapped the table: "Of course not! You think, if you are caught pretending to be a thief, on the one hand, real thieves will not dare to make mistakes, on the other hand, it will bring peace to the hearts of the frightened people, and on the other hand, it will bring peace to our shopping street. spread your good reputation, you are loyal to your official, and you sacrifice yourself to the people, are you just doing it for your official? You are doing it for the people, for the Wen Dynasty, and for the world!"
"Also, I don't dare to ask outsiders to do this kind of thing. I am looking for you because you are very important in my heart. Don't worry if I leave it to others and not to you. I know that you will definitely It can be done well, right?”
The subordinates couldn't help but straighten their backs when they heard this, raised their chests and raised their heads: "Yes!! I understand your good intentions! You must complete the task well!"
"Well, very good. I'm very happy that you have this kind of consciousness. As a human being, you should have such an atmosphere."
"By the way, when the time comes, just pretend to pry the door, don't actually do it. Replacing the door will still cost a lot of money."
