Ji Changze spoiled Zhao Zuijian's plot, and got a hot potato like 70,000 personal soldiers. This matter is the understanding of many people in the DPRK about the reason why Ji Changze gained military power.
Naturally, everyone wants military power, but if they take care of their own food and lodging, no one wants to touch it. 70,000 people are not a small sum of money, and people who can eat only food every day go bankrupt.
Master Ji is scheming, and he has always been the only one who has calculated others' shares. This is the first time he has been tricked so badly.
But no one dared to laugh at him.
Didn't you see that Zhao Zuijian who pitted him was dead?
It was said that when he wanted to meet the saint, he slipped and fell off the stairs and died on the spot, but he only slapped Ji Changze with his front foot, and died "accidentally" with his back foot.
Who believes.
Ji Changze!
It was definitely Ji Changze who did it.
Most of the courtiers didn't say anything on the face, but in their hearts, they were even more afraid of Ji Changze's viciousness and ruthlessness and the power of his subordinates.
There is the imperial palace, His Majesty's territory.
Think about it, Ji Changze could actually kill someone in the palace, how terrifying is his power?
Zhao Zuijian on the front foot had just finished pitting him, and he killed the person on the back foot, who would take revenge on him as quickly as he did.
The kind of officials who really would rather bend over than bend and throw their lives in the clouds of the sky have long since disappeared (except for the lucky Liu Shengyan).
After so many years, if there is an official who is out of life and death, then His Majesty can make the other party go out directly.
Therefore, the remaining officials still cherish their lives very much.
Knowing that Ji Changze was in a pit this time, he must be dissatisfied, even if he directly killed the culprit, he might be angry.
In order to avoid this scene, Ji Changze has been in military power for a month, and there is no splash in the courtroom, as if this incident had never happened.
Many people have made up their minds. When Ji Changze can't hold back and begging His Majesty to take back his military power, they will look at their noses and hearts, pretending that they are blind and deaf.
However, I don't know if Ji Changze's family is rich. It's been a month, and he doesn't seem to be in any hurry, and he has no intention of asking His Majesty to take back his military power.
What's the situation, don't these 70,000 people cost money?
If Ji Changze knew what they were thinking, he would definitely answer them kindly.
Of course, Fei was still very expensive. After all, with so many people, it would cost a lot of money just to fill their stomachs every day, but who made him a mediocre traitor?
As a traitor, how could he have no money.
Just the gift that the original owner received before, just taking out one piece and selling it is enough to last for a while.
What's more, he didn't plan to use his own assets to support these 70,000 people.
Only children need to be raised, adults are of course self-sufficient.
Who said soldiers can only be used in wartime.
The soldiers of the Wen Dynasty, taking the example on the border side, were usually self-sufficient, and part-time job of growing grain and raising livestock.
That is to say, the 70,000 soldiers in the capital did not farm or raise livestock, not because the western suburbs were not large enough, nor because the livestock could not be raised.
It's just the rules set by the previous emperor of the Wen Dynasty, they don't have to do this.
Originally, the previous emperor set this rule so that the 70,000 guards who were dedicated to protecting him could devote themselves to improving their own strength. Anyway, the guards were eaten and drunk by the richest in the world. the emperor to settle.
The emperor who made this regulation at the beginning probably did not expect that the descendants would give up military power for himself without spending money.
The fact that the soldiers couldn't farm the land or raise livestock didn't mean they couldn't do anything else.
Others didn't know what Ji Changze was thinking, they only saw him go to meet His Majesty once, and the next day, an abandoned road was paved with bricks.
After the paving was completed, the craftsmen began to build small houses that were identical in length.
You say this is not a house, it is indeed a shelter from the wind and rain, you say this is a house, it is very small in size, a square one, there is neither a separate house nor other, just a row standing there.
Although this barren road was bought by Ji Changze, he did not forbid others to take his road, so many people would look around when they passed by, wondering what to do.
It doesn't look like a place for people to live, not even a compartment.
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 the bricks.
It's not so hard work. After all, they are all strong men. They have eaten well this month, and they have gained a lot of strength. Coupled with the number of people, moving bricks is too easy for them.
But, this is the Imperial City's personal soldiers!
This is the last line of defense in the capital!
How can you let them move bricks!
The above ideas are naturally incomprehensible to ordinary people, but some court officials who discovered this matter, the originally quiet courtroom once again had some storms.
Some people are eager to go to Ji Changze for a book, but they think that Ji Changze went to see His Majesty before this matter, maybe His Majesty agrees.
If he didn't agree, Ji Changze wouldn't let these personal soldiers move bricks so openly.
And although moving bricks seems to be hard work, it is also a way of exercise (self-comfort).
Because of the glorious history of Ji Changze who killed Ji Changze on the front foot and Ji Changze on the back foot, even if many people muttered in their hearts that it was illegal for the court soldiers to move bricks, they still did not dare to jump out and beep.
Other dynasties are okay, this dynasty is a difficult mode, the daring ones have already died, and they can survive without the courage.
Coupled with the attributes of Ji Changze and His Majesty (both of them are not very reliable), there is no one in the end.
However, an official, slightly cautious and euphemistic, asked Ji Changze.
"How can I get the imperial soldiers to move the bricks? They are not the kind of people who do this kind of thing."
Within three days, the voice trying to express an opinion to Ji Changze in the courtroom disappeared without a trace.
Official: "Hehe...hehe, Xiaoguan suddenly remembered something, Master Ji, walk slowly, walk slowly."
And it's still such a grandiose calculation without the slightest cover up.
"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Even if you donate a junior official, you won't laugh at you."
Ji Changze hasn't stopped: "It's fine if you don't, sir, you see that your family is in good shape, how about you do your part for the country and donate some money, so that these soldiers can only train and do nothing else?"
Aren't these people just eating nothing!
But no one thought that Ji Changze, who received 70,000 burdens, seemed to have changed his personality.
In peacetime, soldiers stay in one place all day and do the same thing every day, which is a waste of talents.
But things are different now.
Ji Changze can really do such a thing.
Justified and convincing.
So, under the intimidation of Ji Changze's money, no one spoke to the emperor.
While he felt relieved, he couldn't help but said to Ji Changze: "My lord, this is too risky. If something goes wrong, His Majesty will know, and he will be angry."
"But Xiaguan...Xiaguan doesn't think that these personal soldiers have anything to do with moving bricks. I heard that they are all working very hard."
After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes and looked at an official who was eavesdropping, his eyes lit up.
If desertion is not a capital crime, they would have already run away.
Why let you take care of it?
People who don't usually eat or wear will be deducted from the army's salaries, and they will be sent to death when there is a war.
Some people had imagined how Ji Changze would deal with other people's objections before. They thought that he had already negotiated with His Majesty, and that he would spray it as usual.
In the final analysis, this is still the emperor's own sin. The things he did in front of him have laid a good foundation for today. Everyone tacitly agreed that their majesty can do any absurd thing, and he can even make 70,000 personal soldiers to hand over. When the courtiers take care of the matter, it is nothing to promise these personal soldiers to move bricks.
"I know." Ji Changze was looking at the soldiers who were training under him. It was different if they had enough to eat. Most of them were different from what they were a month ago. It can be quickly made up, but the spirit is completely different.
Just look at modern times, when did the soldiers just train in the barracks every day and do nothing else? Every time a major event or natural disaster occurred in the country, they would be sent there immediately.
The official who only wanted to eat melons never thought that eating melons would come to him, his face stiffened.
In a word, Ji Changze mentioned that letting these people move the bricks has not been mentioned. Although the emperor was reluctant to pay, but he also had a face, he would probably not agree.
Mr. Ji, who used to be stubborn in the air, has changed.
He retreated quickly.
The words that just eat and don't do it really poke the emperor too much.
But this is not important.
Beard Fang, who watched the whole process, was terrified!
You don't like it when people rely on their own hands to make money, so why don't you support them?
Naturally, Ji Changze would not tell them. He did cry to the emperor before that 70,000 people was too difficult to support, so he decided to build a commercial street to support this group of people. Some training can also be used in this commercial street. It can not only train people, but also let them do more things, so as not to eat all day long.
70,000 personal soldiers, this is a bottomless pit. He is crazy to donate. He also knows that if he contributes money today, it will be equivalent to becoming a bottomless money bag in the future.
There were only a few cronies around the emperor who held real power. Zhou Quanxiao was gone, the eunuch in charge was gone, Zhao Zuijian had just died, and the rest were not good at all.
When you say that I am doing something wrong, I will smile and listen very well, but I am not free to listen, you have to pay.
Since there were 70,000 more mouths to support, Master Ji was no longer interested in insulting people. He listened to him, but he had to pay.
After saying a few words, he hurried away.
So soon, everyone will know.
The officer immediately shut up.
These personal soldiers eat nothing but do meaningful things, not only the emperor dislikes them, but others don't take them seriously, bullying them at will, and even they themselves feel that being a soldier is a chore, and it is unfortunate to become a soldier.
Ji Changze looked at his back with a sigh of relief, as if he sighed regretfully: "Let's go anyway, we haven't said how much we will donate yet, everyone is the backbone of the Wen Dynasty, and we should do it for The Imperial City's personal soldiers contributed to it."
He is no longer the wise and discerning emperor he used to be. He sits in the palace all day and does not go out. As long as the people below him don't tell him the news outside, he will not know.
The courtiers would not say either.
"My lord, you also think that it is really unlawful for your own soldiers to move bricks. If not, donate some money..."
The point is that His Majesty has not found out.
It was calm, as if this had never happened.
And it's not enough to dig less, and it's not enough to dig it once. Not to mention that the personal soldiers are not used for chores, but are used at critical moments? Then you probably don't mind helping to raise the personal soldiers who can only be shot at critical moments on weekdays.
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan's family is poor..."
He really didn't know why Ji Changze wanted to tell him all about the calculation of His Majesty.
Ji Changze didn't feel that they were running against him, and he replied with a very good attitude: "Moving bricks is also to exercise strength. If this adult thinks that they are not suitable for moving bricks to support himself, why don't you help me and tell His Majesty? Say? Let Your Majesty take care of the expenses of the 70,000 personal soldiers?"
Ji Changze was very satisfied with such results. It was right for the previous emperors to let these personal soldiers concentrate on practice, but that was only needed in wartime conditions.
That's right!
Of course, the emperor wouldn't think about the problem that these people don't want to eat and quit.
When practicing various weapons, the sound of humming from the chest was very loud.
Spending all the money in his treasury all day is of no use at all. If Ji Changze hadn't found the opportunity, the person who would deal with 70,000 mouths now would be the emperor himself.
