The new commander of Xicheng Soldiers and Masi was named Shi Mingyong. He was just promoted from a remote place in Yunnan. It is said that he has put down banditry and rebellion. He is a little brave and has made military merits.
It's just that the newly transferred Commander Shi Yong had a bigger appetite than the previous Commander.
I heard that he was able to enter Beijing through the door. As for whose door, the commander always smiled mysteriously and kept silent.
However, his behavior is domineering, it seems that he is very confident of his backstage.
As soon as Shi Yong took office in the first month, he set a quota for the monthly filial piety, which was originally an indefinite number of deaths.
He also doesn't care what shops there are in the following shops, the profitability is high. All that was required was that each deputy commander would give him five taels of silver a month, and the rest belonged to the deputy commander and the brothers below. As for the poor official, Lord Shi Yong said that he was just a penman and didn't consume any physical strength. He was able to eat food, and the court's salary was enough, and filial piety would be avoided.
In the first month, Guo Ming reluctantly handed it in.
But in the second month, Shi Yong went up again and asked each deputy commander to hand in eight taels for him a month.
In the second month, Guo Ming gritted his teeth and put two or twos on himself before he could raise enough.
In the third month, Shi Yong had risen to twelve taels again!
In other words, the amount of silver given to him by moonlight is as high as forty taels! The people in Xicheng Soldier Mars secretly scolded Shi Yong and didn't know how much money he had spent to rush over. He was so viciously searching for money when he took office. It was really mad!
How can Guo Ming not scold them! In the past two months, let's not say that they are a bit extravagant. People who are more loyal and honest like Guo Ming have already paid for them! The brother below has eaten gruel for two months!
But no matter how they scolded? The one that should be handed in is still to be handed in... They also ran away, and even reported to Shi Yong's black status, but there was no response from the above.
From this point of view, Shi Yong did have some origins, and the people at the top were not willing to be the prongs for the sake of tens of taels of silver a month.
That being the case, Guo Ming and their four deputy commanders can only accept their fate.
They can't take out their pockets and give Shi Yong! Therefore, the source of the silver still has to fall on the vendors on the street.
In this way, the Xicheng soldier Ma Si complained, but he couldn't fight against the Yamen just because he paid a little more money. In desperation, the only way they could think of was to increase the price...
The result of the price increase can be imagined.
In the middle, Guo Ming is in a dilemma, and he is not a person inside and outside.
Guo Ming has been busy for more than half a month, and he couldn't help but was scolded coldly because he hadn't got a dozen silvers.
He has spent half his life in Xicheng Soldiers and Mars. He has the oldest qualifications and is the most familiar with these people on the street. He can only see when he looks up and lowers his head. Therefore, he is also the one with the most open mouth of the four deputy commanders.
In the end, he simply didn't accept it, and put some money on himself. At the end of the month, he went to the Xicheng Soldier Masi angrily.
When he arrived at the Xicheng Soldier Mars, the other three deputy commanders were crying and handed in the money.
"Lao Guo, are you here?" Shi Yong smiled and said, "Did you bring your money?"
"..." Guo Ming sullenly, throwing the silver on Shi Yong's table.
Seeing Guo Ming's rudeness, Shi Yong's face sank, but he smiled again when he saw the white flowers and silver, and said: "Look, this lord has already said that these profiteers and people are rich. They are in the remote areas of Yunnan. In places where a county official can earn a lot of money, this is the capital! Not to mention twelve taels, it is one hundred taels a month, and they will also take it out!"
"My lord!" Guo Ming finally couldn't stand it anymore, thinking that he was also an old man of Xicheng Soldiers and Mars. It's okay to be fair!
"Master Shi! Now there are complaints in the street. If this goes on, our soldier and horse will become a mouse crossing the street!" Guo Ming said loudly.
Shi Yong looked gloomy and said, "Master Guo is blaming me?"
Guo Ming said bluntly: "Don't hide it from your lord, I have paid a lot of money for the two months' statutory bills. Next month... but there will be no more!"
"Oh?" Shi Yong looked at Guo Ming fiercely, stood up, and said, "So, Master Guo is going to fight against Master Ben?"
"You dare not..." Seeing Shi Yong's anger, Guo Ming thought about the difference between the top and bottom, so he swallowed his hands and said: "The next official is telling the truth. This month is fine. Next month, the next month, the next No more than a dozen silver coins!"
"If you can't take it out, you will collect it!" Shi Yong shouted: "It's really a waste. After being an official for so long, wouldn't it be possible to collect money?!"
"You can't collect money indiscriminately!" Guo Ming said angrily: "The people can't afford so much, should I grab it?"
"It doesn't matter whether you take it or grab it!" Shi Yong slapped the table and said, "Anyway, this lord will see twelve taels of silver next month... No! Fifteen taels of silver are on the table!"
"You!... It's unreasonable!" Guo Ming could not help but feel anxious when he heard the increase of 50 taels again. He waved his hand and turned and left!
"I haven't finished speaking, you dare to go!" Shi Yong shouted loudly, but seeing Guo Ming kept stopping, he continued to stride outside the door. The hostility that Shi Yong cultivated from the suppression of the bandits could not help but rushed up, shouted, gritted his teeth and said: "I have no respect! The following is committed!" He sprinted out, facing Guo Ming's lower waist, and kicked. Kicked over!
Guo Ming is also a martial artist. He felt that there was a strong wind coming from behind, and his heart was not well understood. However, he was negligent in practice for a long time, his body was much slower, and his reaction was slow. Ground!
Guo Ming wanted to stand up, but he felt a great pain in his lower back, and he couldn't help but yell, screaming in pain!
When Shi Yong saw Guo Ming screaming on the ground, he felt that he had gone too far, so he did not do anything.
Seeing this, the other three deputy commanders hurriedly called someone to remove a door panel, lifted Guo Ming onto it, and ran to the hospital.
Shi Yong watched them all go, feeling a little nervous, but when he saw the silver on the table, he settled down, grabbed the silver, and said "Bah" at the door, and said, "Make you arrogant! Lord! Silver! Lord has a backer! What is injustice!"
…
Guo Ming wailed in the hospital for a long time, and the doctor also treated for a long time, sweating profusely, but he could not relieve Guo Ming's pain.
Guo Ming's wife couldn't. Suddenly remembered that Guo Ming had mentioned before, that a genius doctor once lived in Lu Mansion, hurriedly brought gifts, and went to Lu Mansion to ask for help.
The genius doctor Guo Ming mentioned was not Li Yanwen, an official of the Imperial Hospital who had a deep relationship with the Lu Mansion, but his son, Li Shizhen.
Li Shizhen is 19 years old this year and is already a handsome young man.
