Luo Ying sighed: "Let me tell you again, as an enshrinement of the Daqi Escort, the salary is 250 taels of silver a month, and if you join the Escort, you will get 8% of the shares. There is a bonus at the end of the year. As long as you join the Escort, you can choose a book of martial arts that is below the peerless in the Escort’s Canggong Pavilion. The Escort will give you a house and a mount. There will be no disturbance at all, the priest can have his own identity and occupation, and the Escort Bureau will not interfere."

"This... is too much, and the treatment is too (agej) okay? * Now, even Wu Dayong was amazed, you must know that the salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was very low.

Taking Wu Dayong as an example, his highest position is Prince Shaobao, from the second grade, but even so, his monthly salary is only 61 shi, which is equivalent to more than 700 yuan in later generations...

According to the records in Ming Dynasty classics, one stone is seven qian, then 61 shi is equivalent to 420 qian, and one tael is equal to 420 qian, then 26 qian is equivalent to a little more than [-] taels.

26 taels of silver is definitely enough to feed the family, but being an official is not just about supporting the family.

In addition to these, the usual entertainment, official uniforms, and the Four Treasures of the Study are all very expensive.

After all, you are a second-rank official, so you can't wear the worst clothes and use the worst paper and ink, right?

So, don't look at 26 taels, but for a second-rank official, it's really not that much, not even enough to support a family.

So don't blame the officials of the Ming Dynasty for being greedy. If you don't get greedy, you can't live.

The only official in the Ming Dynasty who was not corrupt was Hai Rui. What happened to him?

My own daughter starved to death (of course, this may have been made up by someone to discredit Jiajing), and I was also emaciated and malnourished.

In this situation, how can you live without being greedy?

You can't really starve to death, can you?

Of course, Wu Dayong's life as a military officer is better. After all, he spends all his food and clothing in the barracks, and the army is equipped with horses and weapons. He has no children and wives, so his life is naturally more nourishing than others.

However, the status of military officers in the Ming Dynasty was very low, and even some seventh-rank officials could yell at the commander-in-chief.

And the money that Luo Ying gave Wu Di a month was almost ten times the salary of a second-rank official, not to mention dividends and shares, how much was it?

Luo Yingdao: "Not much, not at all. After all, bodyguard is a profession that is born and died. I don't know when it will be gone. If I don't give a little more money, why should others work for me?"

Seeing what Wu Di wanted to say, Luo Ying stopped him and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say, but when I run an escort agency, what I believe in most is fairness and justice. Just take the money I gave you with peace of mind, and don't worry about the rest."

After a pause, Luo Ying continued: "Besides, you can be considered an old man in our bodyguard bureau. You can rise from intern to enshrinement in an instant, which can be regarded as setting a perfect benchmark for your evening halos, and it is easier for you They generate momentum."

Wu Dayong also agreed: "Yes, this is called Qianjin City Horse Bones, Wu Di, you are that pile of horse bones, you can prove that Luo Yingli's rules are true by taking the money, and it will be easier to attract other people to join The Escort, the Escort will become stronger."

It seems that Wu Dayong has learned nothing all these years, and he even knows the allusion of the horse bone in Qianjin City... You must know that in Luo Ying's impression, he doesn't even know a few words.

It is true that the environment can change people the most.

"Okay, then I'll take it."

Seeing that his father didn't object, Wu Di nodded and agreed.

"now it's right.

Luo Ying patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'll tell you another good thing."

"Good thing? What else is good?"

Luo Ying said with a smile: "Last night, the emperor talked with Yuelu Xiye all night, and finally the emperor chose...to withdraw the engagement."

This is what he saw from the memory of the eunuch who delivered the decree. On the one hand, Zhu Houzhao knew that Yuelu really didn't like him, and on the other hand, what Luo Ying said before had an effect.

When Luo Ying and Zhu Houzhao met for the first time before, they said that cousins ​​were considered close relatives and could not get married. Although Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything on the surface, he was investigated secretly, and the person who carried out it was the eunuch who came to pass the decree.

After the eunuch's investigation, it was found that all the cousins ​​who got married had more or less problems with their children.

There are handsome sons, premature babies, congenital diseases, weak bodies, and so on. In short, after the real cousins ​​get married, the children born have no problems at all. It can be said that there is no one in a hundred.

Chapter 186

When Zhu Houzhao got such an investigation result, he was shocked immediately. He already had the intention of retiring with Yuelu in his heart, and after Yuelu told him, this idea was immediately firmed up.

And he is also preparing to issue an imperial decree to prohibit the marriage of cousins ​​in the future.

Although I don't know what the final effect will be, Zhu Houzhao intends to lead by example and call off the marriage first.

And to be honest, Zhu Houzhao himself may not like Yuelu that much. After all, he has a unique personality, pursues freedom, and is very disgusted with traditional ethics (otherwise he would not believe in Islam, and even gave himself an Islamic name), Among all the emperors, he was considered to be a particularly weird one.

There is a kind of instinctive rejection of the arranged marriage with Yuelu. He may not have no intention of retiring the engagement. Now that he has finally found the opportunity, he will naturally not let it go. "Really?" Wu Di was overjoyed. "I won't lie to you."

Luo Ying said with a smile: "So, if you really still like her, you can pursue your love after they get divorced." Wu Di said gratefully: "Thank you Brother Luo Ying."

Luo Ying laughed and scolded: "What's the use of thanking me? I'm not - your matchmaker." "Hey..." Wu Di just smirked.

After two days, the preparatory work was finally over, and the Beijing Branch of the Daqihammer Bureau could finally open for business.

This time the opening was very busy, big and small in the capital were famous or not, those who had grudges or not, those who should come and those who should not, all came. Luo Ying adhered to the principle that a visitor is a visitor, and did not treat them differently.

And perhaps it was Luo Ying's fierce reputation accumulated during this period of time, which led to the fact that although there were many enemies with Luo Ying, none of them found fault.

Even Zhu Houzhao sent four secret agents from Ouchi to congratulate him. Those who saw this scene were even more grateful that they didn't turn against Luo Ying.

After all, under the feet of the emperor, there are not many people who are not really afraid of the emperor.

In a word, although the opening was very lively, no one came to make trouble.

Especially the fighting part.

What is the fight session?

This is actually a rule in ancient times: if warriors want to develop in a new place, whether they are opening an escort bureau or a martial arts gym, they must first put down the arena and accept the challenge of local warriors. On the one hand, they are saying hello and telling them that I am Outsiders, if you want to beg for stuttering, please tell everyone in advance, and please take care of us in the future.

Otherwise, you will open the business without saying a word, and you will not greet the local martial arts at all. This will directly turn hostile to the local martial artists, and it will be difficult to get along in the future.

On the other hand, it is also to build up your own reputation. Whether it is the shackles or martial arts, including gangs, they all need publicity to be widely known, and the opening day of the Escort is the time when it attracts the most people. This better publicity opportunity?

After all, even if you say it a hundred times, it's better to show your ability directly, which can bring people the most intuitive impression.

And as long as you succeed in defending the ring, your reputation will naturally spread. Isn't it easy to do business or recruit disciples in the future?Extra cash?

This time, besides the fighters in the audience, in order to avoid the embarrassment of having no one to fight, Luo Ying specially invited a few entrusted persons, including Lu Xiaofeng, Iron Hands, Brother Ling Linggong, the secret agent, etc. They are all top players, those with the worst strength are congenital, and the strongest such as Tie Shou and Lu Xiaofeng are even masters.

But this time it was not Luo Ying who was defending the ring, but Cheng Lianfei.

After all, he is the chief escort of the capital branch, and he will be in charge of the capital branch in the future, so how can we do it if we don't show off our skills?

But right and wrong are not easy to match, he just revealed "King Kong is not bad", and he immediately amazed everyone.

Tie Shou and Ling Linggong were not Cheng Shifei's opponents at all, even if Cheng Shifei stood still, no matter how much they punched and kicked, they didn't get hurt at all.

Especially Ling Linggong, he refined the iron cloth shirt, and Cheng Shifei was in the same way, but no matter the level of martial arts or the realm of martial arts, he was lower than Cheng Shifei by more than one level, and he was completely crushed.

The same is true for the iron hand, even though he is known as the iron hand, with profound internal strength, when facing right and wrong, every punch and kick is like scraping, and it will not cause any harm.

On the contrary, every time Cheng Shifei punched them, they would feel uncomfortable for a long time. In other words, when Luo Ying and Ying Xichao met and fought for the first time, he won in the same way, which can be called a rogue Dafa. 0… Ask for flowers.

On the other hand, Lu Xiaofeng had a close relationship with Cheng Shifei, but Lingxi's finger was powerful, but it still couldn't break through the defense of "King Kong Is Not Bad", and in the end the two only fought to a tie.

And with Lu Xiaofeng as a comparison, the people in the audience who were still eager to try also calmed down and let go of their petty thoughts. Even Lu Xiaofeng couldn't break through the defense of right and wrong, and they could only show embarrassment when they went up.

In the end, Cheng Shifei succeeded in defending the ring, and while his reputation shocked the entire capital, he also spread the reputation of Daqi's wrong situation. There must be no need to worry about future business.

In addition, because he was worried that Cheng Shifei would not be able to cope with such a big situation by himself, Luo Ying specially hired Zhuge Xiaohua as the enshrinement of the Beijing semicolon. With this master by his side to take care of him, it shouldn't be a big problem .Of course, Zhuge Xiaohua actually refused to become an enshrinement at first, but when Luo Ying put 50 taels of silver in front of him, and took out the "Twelve Universe Map" in exchange, Zhuge Xiaohua was very excited. He readily agreed.

No way, Luo Ying gave too much.

First of all, 50 taels of silver, which is already equivalent to ten years of funding for the Shenhou Mansion. After all, the current income of the imperial court is not much, and the national finance depends entirely on agricultural taxes.

The imperial court was in a tight situation, and the yamen below were naturally having a hard time. The annual funding for the Shenhou Mansion was only tens of thousands of taels, and part of the tens of thousands of cars was paid for by the emperor's own internal funds.

The majestic Shenhou Mansion doesn't even have its own prison, and it has to share a prison with other yamen, is it plausible?

With this money... In Luo Ying's words, it should be regarded as sponsorship, after all, you can't bribe, right?

In short, with this sponsorship, many of Zhuge Xiaohua's ideas can be implemented in advance.

For example, build a prison or something.

Another example is to choose a decent yamen for the Shenhou Mansion, or to add a few things... There are too many places to spend money, and the 50 taels of sponsorship may not be able to achieve ordinary people.

Chapter 187 Abducting Ruthless

The second is "Twelve Universes". As a great master of a generation, Zhuge Xiaohua understands the benefits of this martial art too well. Now that the population of Shenhou Mansion is thin, there are only three...five real masters in total, because they have checked fake martial arts before. During the copper coin case, Zhui Ming and Leng Xue also joined the Shenhou Mansion.

Except for these five people, the martial arts of others are not very good.

Is it because Big Wolf's aptitude is not good?Or are they lazy and unwilling to practice martial arts?

neither.

It was because they joined the Shenhou Mansion too late, they had already grown up when they joined the Shenhou Mansion, their bones had already been shaped, and their meridians had begun to harden... In short, they practiced martial arts too late, and in this life It is impossible to have any achievements in martial arts.

Unless one can find a martial art that does not require age and body restrictions, and there is no doubt that "Twelve Universes" is such a martial art.

Therefore, when Luo Ying took out the "Twelve Universes", Zhuge Xiaohua immediately agreed to his request, and promised to take care of the Beijing semicolon when nothing happened, and they could come to him if they had any questions. Ask for a solution.

Because of this "Twelve Universe Pictures", people like Big Wolf, Dayong, Ding Dong, and Ling'er can practice martial arts again. As long as they are diligent enough to complete all twelve pictures, their bodies and meridians will regain their flexibility. Just like children, achievements are at least innate—children who can be adopted by him will not only have good personalities, but also have first-class aptitude.

After all, the Shenhou Mansion wanted to fight the gangsters, and what they needed most was martial arts. If they didn't have the qualifications to practice martial arts, they would be sending themselves to death.

Of course, after spending so much money, Luo Ying didn't gain nothing at all. Although he took out 50 taels of silver and a very important martial art, he also abducted an important figure in the Shenhou Mansion. "I said Wuqing, is it really okay for you to be like this?" Luo Ying looked at Wuqing beside him speechlessly.

That's right, the important person in the Shenhou Mansion he abducted was Wu Qing.

To be more precise, Wuqing was not abducted by him, but Wuqing followed after he left. "Are you scared?"

Ruthless Kazilan stared at Luo Ying's eyes, as if she wanted to see something from his eyes. "of course not."

How could Luo Ying admit it?

Anyway, ruthless can't see through his own mind.

"I just think, after all, Mr. Zhuge raised you, and you just ran away, how sad is he?" He shook his head ruthlessly and said, "Really? You don't have to worry about this, I have already made an agreement with Uncle Shi in advance gone."

"Oh, that's fine then."

Luo Ying suddenly realized: "Have you seen her?" Luo Ying seemed to be relieved, but in fact she was worried, seeing that she was about to go to the Escort, and Mars was about to push the earth, how could she avoid this situation? What about disaster? "You... don't you have anything to say?" The atmosphere was silent for a while, and he asked ruthlessly. "What?" "That woman..." "You mean Yanshi girl?"

He said worriedly again: "You didn't have a conflict, did you?" "Why do you ask such a question?"

Ruthlessly raised his head and stared at Luo Ying: "Could it be that in your heart, I am that kind of person with a strong personality?" "No, don't get me wrong."

Seeing this, Luo Ying felt uncomfortable, and quickly explained: "How do you say this? It's just that you have a cold personality, and the Yanshi girl has a gentle personality. I don't think the two of you have a compatible personality...Anyway, there is no conflict. Of course it's the best." "You dislike my cold personality?" Wuqing raised her eyes and raised her voice. "No, I didn't dislike you..." "Then what do you mean?" "I..." Luo Ying fully understood how unreasonable it is when women quarrel.

In the end, it took a lot of energy to persuade Wuqing to come back.

Seeing the expression on the girl's face from cloudy to sunny, Luo Ying let out a sigh of relief, feeling that her clothes were drenched with sweat.

Now he would rather be surrounded and beaten by ten great masters than fight with girls anymore, it's too difficult to deal with. "I want to meet that Yan Shijing again."

Seeing Luo Ying flustered, Wu Qing laughed heartily, but on the surface he pretended to be indifferent and said 0...

"This... is also possible."

Luo Ying thought about it, and finally had to face it, since sooner or later he would die, so let's die early and be reborn sooner. "Boss, you're finally back. I'm looking for you...Miss Wuqing? You're here too?" As soon as he entered the escort agency with Wuqing, Lin Pingzhi greeted him. Seeing Wuqing, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Ah."

Wuqing has a cold personality, and he only replied lightly to Lin Pingzhi's greeting.Luo Ying asked, "What's the matter?"

Lin Pingzhi hurriedly said: "A big client wants to see you and says he has a big commission for you." "Oh? Big client? Who is it?"

As soon as he heard that there was a business, Luo Ying immediately became interested.

Of course, the main reason is not this, the main reason is that with a big client, he can have an excuse to avoid the temporary Shura field.Lin Pingzhi said: "It's the eldest son of Lu's Ping An Bank, Lu Xin and Lu Sanjin."

Luo Ying laughed and said: "My good fellow, how long has it been? I have met the four major business families of the Ming Dynasty."

The four major business families of Ming Dynasty, that is, Wan, Lu, An, and Hua, are represented by Wan Sanqian, Lu Changqing, An Shigeng, and Hua Ruling.

There is no distinction between these four wells, but the four families together almost control more than [-]% of the wealth of Daming, and they are definitely the first-class business power in the world.

Among them, the 4.9 industries of Wanjia and Anjia are relatively complicated, and they can basically do whatever they donate money, while Huajia mainly focuses on finance and land, and the finance is mainly based on Datong Bank.

As for the Lu family, it is a purely financial industry. Ping An Bank is well-known. From the source industry such as gold, silver and copper mines, to Yinzhuang Bank, to loan insurance services, from upstream to downstream industries, everything Do.

Even including investment and futures trading, the Lu family has also been involved.

However, among the four major families, the Lu family is considered to be the younger one. The real prosperity of this family actually started after Lu Changqing took over.

And Lu Changqing's most talked about is not himself, but the eldest son Luo Ying is about to meet right now, Lu Xin and Lu Sanjin, who is also the young owner of Ping An Bank:,

Chapter 188 Lu Sanjin's Entrustment

Hearing Lu Sanjin's name, Luo Ying recalled some information about this guy that he had summarized when watching TV in his previous life.
