Chapter 69 Jin Yiwei

After leaving the Ganqing Palace, Ma Shiying took Qin Zhao to the East Pavilion where he worked.

"Do you have a thousand household office you like? I'll arrange it for you to transfer the original thousand households."

Qin Zhao shook his head and said, "Xiaomin has never paid attention to any thousand-household house. It's just that Xiaomin is from Qinjia Village, Renhoufang, Xiangshan County. Just arrange a thousand-household house close to Renhoufang for Xiaomin!"

Ma Shiying looked at Qin Zhao and nodded.

He suddenly said, "The emperor has recently chosen a concubine and has not chosen a beautiful woman. I heard that Xiangshan County has produced beautiful women since ancient times. Do you know which family has beautiful girls and virtuous people?"

Ma Shiying stroked forward with her left hand and said, "If the 'Jinn Girl' is attracted by the emperor, it would be a great achievement. Not to mention the thousand households, even the commander of the guard can achieve it."

Hearing Ma Shiying's words, Qin Zhao understood that Ma Shiying had a good impression of him and had already regarded him as half of his own, and even asked himself about choosing a concubine.

After thinking about choosing a concubine, Qin Zhao subconsciously thought of Xu Ming, who had been famous far away.

When he thought of Xu Ming, Qin Zhao immediately became resistant to the emperor's choice of daughters and immediately said perfunctorily: "Ge Lao is joking. My Xiangshan County is a southern vassal state in Yue, where is the name of a beautiful woman? But since the Pavilion Lao said that, Xiaomin must be interested in searching for the Pavilion Lao. Once he finds a beautiful girl, Xiaomin will definitely send it to Nanjing in person."

Ma Shiying laughed and said, "Okay!" He seemed a little embarrassed and said, "The emperor is so kind, I can only serve his preferences!"

"You will soon become a civil servant. Thousand households are in charge of thousands of households, and a fifth-rank military officer."

...

When he returned to the Ma Mansion, Qin Zhao brought Qin Ning back.

Qin Ning wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Brother Zhao is really not an ordinary person. He actually went to meet the emperor. I was standing next to me and listened to Brother Zhao and talk to the elder. I was scared to sweat all over. Brother Zhao, you actually went to meet the emperor."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "What's wrong with this? It's just ordinary words."

"Ordinary words?" Qin Ning laughed at this and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhao, you have scolded the Donglin Party to death. When you scold the Donglin Party, then Master Ma immediately smiled."

Qin Zhao smiled.

Qin Ning said again: "Brother Zhao, Master Ma Ge will help you arrange the special promotion of the imperial edict, and you will offend people here!"

"Who do you want to offend?"

"I want to offend the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Ding Kuichu! Mr. Ma said that he had received the imperial edict to be promoted to Minister of War. In the future, Guangdong and Guangxi can return to the arrangements of the Ministry of War. Then this time the emperor's imperial edict was specially promoted and he slapped him? He has a high position and power in the future. How can he not treat Brother Zhao as a thorn in his eyes?"

Qin Zhao thought for a while and said, "If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, you don't need to do anything anymore. Nanjing doesn't need to be used anymore. Just endure Ding Kuichu's blackmail in Zhaoqing. Moreover, I think Ding Kuichu's 20,000 taels of silver is just the beginning. When I wait for three months to raise 20,000 taels of silver, he will also say something else."

"It is impossible not to offend people when doing big things."

"Brother Zhao, that's the Minister of War and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, a scary official."

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "What are you afraid of him doing? Once you get an official this time, I will recruit 1,000 troops. Zheng Sen's three thousand troops can make Guangzhou City bow. My one thousand troops may not be weaker than Zheng Sen's three thousand troops. Are you afraid of him Ding Kuichu?"

Qin Ning heard Qin Zhao's bold words and took a breath.

Qin Zhao's courage is really big, and the pattern is really big. Some things that ordinary people seem to think are extremely risky are smooth in Qin Zhao's eyes. If ordinary people want to keep up with Qin Zhao's chariot, they really have to worry every day and always have to endure the fright of heart explosions.

Is this really the fool Qin Zhao who grew up with him?

"Brother Zhao's courage, even a mortal like me can't catch up."

Qin Zhao laughed and said, "Okay, I'll go back to Qinjia Village to wait for the imperial edict. When the imperial edict comes, we will start recruiting troops."

...

On the seventh day of the seventh month, Qin Zhao took a boat to Xiangshan County.

He inspected his own industry, including the wooden frame production workshop and sewing workshop in Qinjia Village, as well as the spring production line on the Yunfeng. It is glad that Qin Youli and the people hired by Qin Zhao are quite loyal. During the time when Qin Zhao was away, Qin Youli patrolled the situation of various production lines with his hands behind his back, ensuring that no major happens in the factory.

The sales of sofas in Guangzhou City were also good. After Zheng Chenggong burned the Lu family's gates, the gentry in Guangzhou City knew that Qin Zhao and Zheng Chenggong had won the battle, so they naturally came to the shop to order sofas with confidence. One thousand one hundred and a half months in the shops in Guangzhou City sold 1,116 pieces in a month and a half, and the profit was 8,143 taels. Of these profits, 4,072 taels were returned to Qin Zhao, and half of the remaining ones were Zheng Chenggong.

In addition, the factory directly sold two batches of 600 spring soft chairs to Zheng Chenggong. These soft chairs are the same as those sold in Guangzhou City. Sugang's purchase cost is one tael of silver cheaper than the market price, so the profit of each soft chair reaches three taels and six cents of silver, and the total profit of 600 soft chairs is 2,100 taels.

In the past month and a half when Qin Zhao was away, the total profit of the sofa factory reached a considerable 6,172 taels of silver.

Qin Zhao was very happy and gave each of the workers on the spot one tael of silver as a bonus to each of them. He also cut ten taels of silver as a bonus to Qin You, who was concentrating on patrolling the production.

Then, Qin Zhao became patient and began to wait for the arrival of the imperial edict.

It was not until July 18 that Qin Zhao waited for the imperial edict in Qinjia Village.

The personnel used to pass on the imperial edicts in the Ming Dynasty were not fixed. Ordinary imperial edicts often used eunuchs to pass on the imperial edicts. If there were very solemn and serious imperial edicts, officials of the Ministry of Rites needed to be mobilized. Some imperial edicts involving low-level military officers often used the Jinyiwei fast horse to pass on the imperial edicts.

The Jinyiwei had three people in total. The leader was wearing a flying fish suit woven in red brocade and a tall black gauze hat. The other two were wearing Jinyiwei's regular clothes, and also wearing black gauze hats. The three of them rode a blood-red tall horse, and countless smoke and dust were raised while walking.

In front of the three horses, four "clan officials" from Xiangshan County respectfully jogged in front to open the road. Behind the horses, there were twelve archers from the county government offices behind the back hall, hanging the bows in their hands on their shoulders, which was quite powerful.

The clerk was a senior civil servant in the yamen, with a job of a job, and the magistrate paid his salary. In the Ming Dynasty, the clerk who could directly talk to the county magistrate were all real power figures in the county and were called "dad" by the people. The archer was a temporary worker hired by the yamen runners. He had no staff and was hired at any time and was fired at any time.

Before the three cavalry arrived in Qinjia Village, they scared the farmers and women of Qinjia Village who were farming in the fields. Who had ever seen a red flying fish suit? The flying fish with horns on the flying fish suit looked very similar to the python, like a dragon, and from a distance they looked like the python robe of a first-class official. The villagers of Qinjia Village were all so scared that they knelt in the fields.
