Chapter 131 Expansion of the Army 5

PS: The last paragraph at the end of the previous chapter is the paragraph of Zhao's evaluation of Zhao She. I have made some modifications. If you have already read it, you might as well read it again, which is the penultimate paragraph at the end.

Once again, there is a difference between the historical figures in the novel and the deeds in real history. The book will try to respect the history and restore the original appearance of the Warring States Period, but some modifications will be made for the plot service, such as the time of the characters' appearance and the time of the deeds. Like Zhao She, it is different from the appearance in history. The first time he was appreciated by Shangguan in history was because he bumped into Pingyuan Jun, that is, Zhao Sheng, the third son of Zhao Wuling, who had just been weaned.

The selection of Yulin has been completed, and more than 700 new recruits newly selected into Yulin have been temporarily grouped into a battalion, stationed in the city to practice their battles and skills every day. Zhao Xin's headache was caused by the training of new recruits. Although these new teenagers are skilled, the team consciousness in the army has not yet been established, and the changes in the battle array are even more miserable.

Just when Zhao Xin was busy training new recruits, Zhang Xin's transfer order had also been sent, and he would resign and take office in Shangdang County within five days, which made Zhao Xin cry even more. On the one hand, he was responsible for the guard of the old camp of the West Palace, and on the other hand, he had to drill the new barracks. Zhao Xin became a very busy man.

Zhao Xin found an opportunity to speak to his father and asked for an additional deputy lieutenant to him, and also planned for the future division. The master promised that Zhao Xin would recommend some good performers in the army for him to screen. It seems that he did not intend to transfer a new lieutenant from elsewhere, but was promoted by the old man in the Yulin by himself.

Although there are several Qu Hou in the Yulin who have excellent performance, they are all mediocre qualifications, but they are decent and conscientious people, and they are not outstanding. Moreover, the most seniority in the army is the most important. There is a big gap between the qualifications of these people and Zhang Xin and Li Wei. The sudden promotion of one of them will definitely arouse the dissatisfaction of others. Therefore, Zhao Xin became active again and remembered Zhao She, who asked him for an official. After all, he promoted an irrelevant outsider, and those who competed with each other in the army could barely accept the result.

And to be honest, Zhao Xin also wants to find someone to take over the mess of training new recruits for himself. He and Li Wei are the same person. If they want to charge into the front, they are not ambiguous, but they are not interested in these extremely tedious things. Moreover, Zhao Xin was young and lacked experience in the army. There is no doubt that he is not good at letting him lead new soldiers.

Since his father Zhao Jian's evaluation of Zhao Shi is so high, it at least proves that Zhao She is a very reliable person, not a person who can only boast. Zhao Xin asked his men to find out all the news about Zhao She first, and then reported it to himself.

On this day, it was Li Wei's turn to go to the new battalion to drill soldiers, and Zhao Xin was guarding in the palace. The palace guard is naturally much easier than the new recruits, as long as they patrol the palace wall every hour.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xin was sitting in the room and was sleepy. He glanced sideways and saw Shi Dan open the door and crept in.

Zhao Xin stared at him angrily and asked, "Let you inquire about the matter."

Seeing this, Shi Dan stepped forward with a smile and bowed and said with a smile, "When did I do what the boss ordered? It was only one morning. I have made this Zhao luxury very clear. Even if the boss wants to know what his ancestors have done in the 18th generation, I can check it. It's here."

Zhao Xin glanced at him, reached out and hit him, and scolded, "Are you looking for death? His ancestors are also my ancestors for 18 generations, and they are also the ancestors of the master and the king. With what you just said, I can cut off your dog's head and sit on it as a stool.

Shi Dan shrank his head in fear, but there was not much fear on his face, and he still looked like a smile. He and Zhao Xin have known each other since childhood. They are both knowledgeable people. Naturally, they know that Zhao Xin is joking.

It is precisely because they are familiar with each other and understand each other's conduct and people that Zhao Xin can rest assured that he can get Shi Dan around as a personal guard. The pro-guard is different from the ordinary Yulin, and the selection does not require that strict assessment. Most of them are people who are determined by Shangguan, mainly considering loyalty and reliability. Although Zhao Xin didn't have many people under him, he was also a lieutenant anyway. Some secret things also needed personal help, so he asked Shi Dan to be his personal guard.

Speaking of this Shidan, although he is also a dboy from a large family, he is extremely loyal and trustworthy. Last time he made a bet with Hu Mao, Hu Mao helped Zhao Xin to win in the end. This Shidan also really kept his promise. Without saying a word, he knelt down directly and kowtowed. He didn't sloppy at all. Zhao Xin and Hu Mao felt a little sorry.

Zhao Xin thought about compensating for this brother. Since he wanted to join Yulin so much, he happened to lack a kiss around him, so he walked through the back door and let Shi Dan enter Yulin. However, although he is a personal defender, he doesn't need to be as skillful as others, but he still needs to be proficient in basic riding, so Zhao Xin has something to say first that he must practice riding hard.

Although Shi Dan is used to wandering, he is clever. Knowing that Zhao Xin was appreciated by his master at such a young age, he must have a bright future in the future. If he follows him, he will definitely rise and look like him in the future. Therefore, I especially cherish this opportunity, do my best at ordinary times, and practice equestrianism in my spare time.

This time, Zhao Xin asked him to inquire about Zhao She's situation, so he was extremely careful. He hurriedly ordered to go to the market and used all kinds of network resources in the past. In less than half a day, he asked what Zhao Xin wanted one by one. Now say it one by one;

"Zhao She is not a native of Handan. He moved here with his parents when he was young. According to his father himself, after Xuanzi, he was from the public family, but it is unknown whether it is. Even after more than 300 years, no one takes it seriously.

"His father joined the army in his early years and died in the Battle of Zhongshan. The whole family lived on a small pension. He lived a very poor life with his mother. It was not until he was admitted to tax collectors that his life improved slightly. This is his origin. What else do you want to know, boss?

Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said, "How is he commenting on the official style?"

"What kind of official is it? It's just a small official." Shi Dan said with a smile.

"He is an East Gate tax official, responsible for the collection of tax benefits for booths in the East City. I went to the East City and asked my brothers to ask from door to door. Only then did I know that Zhao She's reputation among the people was extremely notorious, which was simply full of complaints.

Zhao Xin was a little surprised when he heard Shi Dan's words, and he couldn't help saying, "Why is this? Is it because he is greedy and deducting taxes?

Shi Dan shook his head disapprovingly and said with a smile, "If so, it's better. However, Zhao She is a person who doesn't enter. Most of the taxes collected by others are only 80%. They are swallowing one, and the rest is reported to the government office. This has been a rule in the industry for hundreds of years. Even when your father, Mr. Zhao, was in office, he would turn a blind eye to these. However, this Zhao She doesn't know what's good or bad. He executes it rigidly and is known as the smelly and hard "Zhao Stone". The vendors were furious when they talked about him. I heard that they also raised funds to ask someone to teach him a lesson, but the result was not clear.

Only then did Zhao Xin understand what the "extremely bad reputation" in Shi Danqi meant. Thinking of his father's evaluation of him, he thought it was in line with Zhao Xin's style of dealing with things. I was thinking about being distracted, but I heard Shi Dan say with a smile, "But I heard that this Zhao Stone is going to be unlucky."

Zhao Xin said curiously, "What's the matter?"

"I heard that he met a hard stubble. There is a huge rice shop in the Ankou market. The business has always been booming. Every day, it is difficult to pay taxes. The tax collector in charge of the area did not dare to offend this rice shop, so he has been hiding it. Later, he couldn't cover it up and was dismissed. The new Tian official asked Zhao She to take over the family. Now Zhao She has suffered a lot.

Zhao Xin was surprised and said, "Who is the owner of this store? How dare you be so bold?"

Shi Dan smiled and said, "It's not small. It's the little uncle of the master, Mr. An Pingjun's younger brother, Mr. Jia."

Zhao suddenly realized in his confidence. No wonder he was so arrogant. It turned out to be a red imperial relative.

This young man, Jia Zhao Xin, has seen him a few times. Although he is mediocre, his background is really excellent. Although Gong Zicheng has been active in the court of Zhao for a long time and has high prestige among the public family, in the final analysis, he is still only the half-brother of his father Zhao Suhou, and this Gongzi Jia is the direct younger brother of Zhao Suhou. Therefore, although Gongzijia is mediocre and doesn't care about the affairs of the country, he has received a lot of rewards because of his good background. In addition, he is usually good at management, and he has become the largest landlord in Handan City.

Zhao She wants to levy taxes on him, which is undoubtedly pulling hair from the iron rooster. No wonder those vendors will gloat and wait to see Zhao She's jokes.
