Chapter 18 The Old Army(1/2)

There is a special group in Tianjin Bridge Street Market in Luoyang, called Military Households.

Thinking back to that time, Zheng Dashi's father Zheng Wei raised an army and called for more than 10,000 people. Among them, not only the Zheng clan members, but also many ordinary people who depended on the Zheng family. At that time, the Zheng family was at its peak, with thousands of hectares of fertile land in Luoyang. Tens of thousands of people rely on the Zheng family to live. When Zheng Wei raised an army, the people of Tianjin Bridge were all young and strong.

Eight hundred young men went to Xingyang to serve and became Zheng Wei's close friend, named Hu Jun, and crossed Hebei.

Later, Zheng Wei became famous, but the 800 Tiger Army suffered heavy casualties. It is said that one general succeeded and thousands of bones were woven, which is roughly the truth. After Zheng Wei returned home in glory, he gave Tianjin Bridge to the surviving Tiger Army soldiers. He also stated: Anyuan still exists, and the tiger is forever solid. In other words, as long as Anyuan Hall is present, the people of Tianjin Bridge do not need to worry about life problems. This is certainly grateful, but more of it is a measure to win people's hearts.

In a flash, the Zheng family began to decline.

Most of the soldiers of the Tiger Army who survived in the past have passed away, but there are still some old soldiers living in the Tianjin Bridge market.

They do not seek wealth, but only wish to enjoy their old age.

For them, this Tianjin Bridge Market is their home...

Mrs. Cui didn't know this, and even more so. In the eyes of Mrs. Cui and Cui Daolin, Tianjin Bridge was a group of suffering born to rely on the Zheng family. If Cui Daolin could be more low-key when she arrived in Luoyang, Zheng Shi'an might have pointed it out. But Cui Daolin was too arrogant. Zheng Shi'an ignored this when he was angry at that time.

Later, when I remembered that when I wanted to tell Cui Daolin, I was stopped by Zheng Yanqing.

"Grandpa, don't get involved.

Even if you explain the situation in the past, Cui Daolin may not be able to listen. It would be better to do this..."

Zheng Yanqing whispered in Zheng Shi'an's ear, and Zheng Shi'an nodded repeatedly.

He did not return to Luoyang, but just wrote a letter and asked someone to pass it on to Cui Daolin.

Without saying anything, someone told Cui Daolin: "There is no movement on the Tianjin Bridge, and there will be big problems if it moves."

Yan Qing said: "Cui Daolin is now afraid that he is full of complacent. The more you say this, the more he will not listen. After he is given the letter, he will not go to see it, and he may even tear it apart. In your case, you have done your duty... If the eldest son blames it, you can also explain it. But in Cui Daolin, he is afraid that he will suffer some hardship."

Zheng Yanqing never thought that Zheng Shi'an could return to his old house in Luoyang with this incident.

Because he had already seen that Zheng Renji basically didn't know how to manage his family's affairs, and most of them were managed by Mrs. Choi.

After Mrs. Cui was in power for one day, it would be impossible for Cui Daolin to lose power.

After all, for Mrs. Cui, the Zheng family is full of strangers. After several years, the only people who can trust her own tribe members. However, if you can use this matter to suppress Cui Daolin, you can at least make Zheng Renji doubt his ability. The family family, this housekeeper is an important position. The big people are either famous scholars or pay attention to the court and the country, and the trivial matters are basically handled by the housekeeper. Anyuantang can gain a foothold in the Heluo area where the geniuses are numerous. In addition to the ancestral omen, there are also Zheng Shi'an's management points inside and outside.

Therefore, as long as Zheng In-ki leaves a little dissatisfaction with Choi Dolin, Zheng Shi'an will still have the possibility of becoming the leader.

Zheng Shian naturally would not refuse Zheng Yanqing's idea.

He was originally a versatile person. Once he was ready to think about some things, Zheng Shian really wouldn't care about them.

Yan Qing can create a vocabulary and write a vocabulary poem that has made Zheng Shi'an unable to underestimate it.

Zheng Shi'an knew that the good grandson he brought back was definitely not something in the pool. Therefore, even if he was strange, Zheng Shi'an would still attach importance to Yan Qing's opinion. Zheng Renji's car arrived in Luoyang, and he secretly reported the news.

Speaking of which, Jung In-ki has been doing well in the past two years.

From an ordinary public servant to the current position of Cao Guan in Luozhou, it is equivalent to an ordinary civilian cadre in later generations, and suddenly it has become a director-level leader of the municipal bureau. The span between this was completed in just a few years.

So, taking a team is very important.

In the fight between the princes, An Yuantang abandoned Prince Yin Yang Yong and stood on Yang Guang's side, and naturally made great profits.

Now, no one can shake the position of Prince Yang Guang.

Zheng Renji was naturally proud. Especially Yang Guang, who had no good impression of the Guanlong nobles and was very relieved. This made Yang Guang lean towards the Guandong gentry and focused on promoting some of the southern clans he recruited in Jiangdu back then.

For example, the Zhang family in Wuxian is one of them.

Zheng Renji was appointed as a Cao Zheng in Luozhou, which was naturally thanks to Yang Su's recommendation in front of Yang Guang.

The position of Cao Zheng has been established since the Eastern Han Dynasty. However, at that time it was mainly under the Taiwei and the Prime Minister's Office. Now since the founding of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui has suppressed the power of the prime minister, and the position of Cao Zheng was established in the prefectures of each state.

Dong Cao's servant lived in Kuragu.

Heluo is also a place with heavy money and grain. Zheng Renji, the position of Dongcao, is almost the same as the director of the Finance Bureau in later generations. He is responsible for raising some taxes and in charge of warehouses. It is a position that no one can underestimate. Heluofeng is a world-class. Although it is a bit exaggerated, the Guanzhong region's reliance on Heluo is increasing day by day. As long as Zheng Renji is doing well in this position, it is not impossible to become the general manager of a state in the future. Therefore, Zheng Renji attaches more importance to this position.

However, Zheng Renji was not very satisfied with Zheng Dashi sending Zheng Shi'an over.

Zheng Shi'an is just a slave, and his five bodies are not complete. What is it?

Zheng Renji is a typical scholar and has a strong sense of resistance to people with incomplete five bodies. In the past, he had a humble official position, and Zheng Dashi valued Zheng Shi'an, so he couldn't say anything. But now, Zheng Renji is also a successful person, so he naturally has his own opinions. As soon as this opinion arises, he is particularly disgusted with Zheng Dashi's arrangement and even more disgusted with Zheng Shi'an.

But he could not object to Zheng Dashi, so he discussed with his wife and decided to let Cui Daolin go over and send Zheng Shi'an to the farm. Since I couldn't refuse, I could only accept it. But I accepted it because Zheng Shi'an had to obey my arrangements. If he was unwilling to go to the farm, then let him go back and Zheng Renji could also explain it.

If Zheng Shi'an agreed, it would be better...

Everyone doesn’t have to meet, so they can save themselves wandering in front of them every day and feel upset when they look at them.

With this idea in mind, Zheng Renji arrived outside Luoyang City with his wife, children and children.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, we were basically all the way up the valley. From afar, we could see a black crowd blocking the road. At the front of the crowd were more than a dozen white-haired old men wearing shabby leather armor, radiating their shoulders, and bare half of their arms exposed.

When Zheng Renji heard about it, he couldn't help but feel strange.

"Didn't I give orders? Don't say anything or welcome me. We enter the city by ourselves... Why did Cui Daolin still create such a situation?"

Next to Zheng Renji is a young scholar.

He was wearing a white robe and covered with a cloak. He had a short white face and a graceful demeanor, and had an innate aristocratic aura.

Every move has a kind of style.

He frowned and said softly: "Brother Zheng Ren, these people do not seem to be here to welcome us."

Before he finished speaking, he saw more than a dozen white-haired old men walking forward with great strides.

There was a tragic murderous aura in between the steps. If it weren't for the murderous aura of corpses and blood, it would never have been possible to develop this temperament.

Is it a robbery?

Zheng Renji also frowned, signaled to the guards beside him, and stepped forward to ask.

"Dare you ask, but the Grand Governor?"

A white-haired old man asked loudly without waiting for the guard to speak, "We are the tiger servants under the tent of the great governor back then."

"Oh!"

Zheng Renji was also surprised when he heard this.

"Brother Zheng Ren, what is the attendant of the tiger?"

"This is my grandfather's close friend, and he was called the Tiger attendant in ancient times."

Zheng Renji didn't dare to neglect her. He quickly let the guards in front disperse, stepped forward a few steps, and smiled, "Why are you here, old soldiers?"

The old army is a respectful title for the tiger attendant.

The old man with white hair opened his tiger's eyes wide and asked loudly: "Grandmaster, the old army is polite. I heard that the eldest son is here today. I will have something for a few old men. I want to ask. Is the words of the Grand Commander back then still worth it?"

The Grand Commander is the respectful title of Zheng Wei by the Tiger attendant.

Zheng Wei was named Duke of Xiangcheng County and had a fief of 3,000 households. But he prefers others to call him the Grand Governor to commemorate the golden swords and iron horses of his early years.

Zheng Renji was stunned, "Old Jun, what the ancestor of the family said back then, how can it be calculated?"

"Okay, Lao Jun wants to ask the eldest son why he forced the Tianjin Bridge Market and drove us to the farm to live?

Since I was born, I grew up in Tianjin Bridge and had nothing but a blacksmith.

If we were asked to go to the farm, wouldn’t we want to cultivate the land? The eldest son, we are not relying on our seniority, we just want to ask the eldest son for an explanation. If the eldest son says, the eldest son, the eldest son, we can’t count, we will leave Tianjin Bridge without saying a word. The eldest son, we are not a rogue. As long as the eldest son says, we will leave immediately."

Jung In-ki feels something is wrong...

He has not figured out what happened yet.

After all, Mrs. Cui was taken care of by Mrs. Cui. Zheng Renji only knew that Mrs. Cui wanted to rectify the industry in Luoyang, but he really didn't know how to rectify it. According to this, how to drive away these old soldiers?

Children of aristocratic families are most concerned about reputation.

If Zheng Renji had no statement today, he would not have the intention to gain a foothold in Luoyang in the future.

I'm afraid that at this moment, the nobles and nobles in Luoyang were watching the fun with a smile, watching him and Zheng Renji's jokes.

Zheng Renji took a deep breath, "Old Jun, the wind outside the city is strong, your age... let's do it, our old house talks."

This was a kind intention, but Lao Jun was excited.

"The eldest son is so kind, I can't bear it.

We went to the old house to ask, but the housekeeper invited the official and drove us back. The threshold for the old house was too high, so I waited for a civilian, but I really didn't dare to go again. Master, we won't go to the old house anymore, so I just asked the eldest son to give me some good words. Does the Grand Governor count? It's fine, we will go back; it's fine, we will disperse."

Although these people depended on the Zheng family, they made great contributions to the Zheng family.

Jung In-ki was furious, "How did Jung Shi'an do things, send someone to find him for me immediately."

"Grand Prince, this matter has nothing to do with Butler Zheng. Butler Zheng is in Tianzhuang and has stopped all the old friends in Tianzhuang. If it weren't for this, the twenty-eight tiger servants who still survived back then would gather here to ask the eldest prince."

"Is Zheng Shi'an in Luoyang?"

Only then did Zheng Renji remember that he asked Cui Daolin to come and take over and ordered Zheng Shi'an to go to the farm.

How did Cui Daolin do things?

Zheng Renji said seriously: "Old Jun, what the family ancestor said back then is still calculated... I also asked the old Jun to go back to Tianjin Bridge and live in Ansheng. The wishes of each year will be sent on time. Although Renji is not talented, he will never dare to disobey the family ancestor's orders."

A dozen old soldiers looked at each other.

"Young Master, we have also heard that... Luoyang is no better than other places. We are very happy when we come here to take up our posts. There is no need to be a good intention. The Youth Young Master still has many places to spend, so we have a place to settle down."
