When Han Yunong left Kyoto, Qin Xiao specially sent it outside the city.
Looking at Han Yunong's figure disappearing into the distance, Qin Xiao knew that he was truly alone now.
Riding back to the city, watching the crowds coming and going, Qin Xiao knew that if this Kyoto is a jungle, then these people are the lambs to be slaughtered in the forest, and the nobles in the court are the forest. Tiger and Leopard.
Of course he does not want to be a sheep in Kyoto, where the weak and the strong.
Even if you cannot become a tiger or a leopard, you will definitely become a wolf.
The Ministry of Defense has four divisions, namely, the Ministry of Defense, the Department of Staff, the Department of Driving, and the Department of Treasury, which are in charge of military attache assessment and military status, maps, borders, border defense, treason, stables, post-posts, equipment, and ordnance , Relying on military administration.
The responsibility of the Treasury Department, as the name suggests, is naturally to manage the mobilization of ordnance.
Qin Xiao arrived at the Ministry of War and found the Department of Treasury directly.
The War Department Yamen is very magnificent. The War Department is located in a compound on the west side of the War Department Yamen. There are hundreds of people up and down. After learning that Qin Xiao is the trusted commander of the Treasury Department, someone took him there. Outside the largest house in the courtyard, after the report, Qin Xiao went directly in to see Han Zhou, the head of the Treasury Department.
Qin Xiao is naturally familiar with Han Zhou.
After Fan Wenzheng's death, Dou Fan has already started to clean up the Ministry of War, and replace the old with new ones, but after all, it is one of the six, maintaining the operation of the empire. Naturally, Dou Fan could not drive all Fan Wenzheng's people out at once. People have to take care of things, and when everyone is gone, no one will do the things, so they can only take their time.
The Ministry of War is naturally panic, and the whole yamen is filled with tension.
Qin Xiao didn’t know if Han Zhou was in the process of cleaning up, but when he entered the house and saw Han Zhou calm and relaxed, he thought that Han Zhou was not worried about being expelled from the Ministry of War. If he didn’t guess wrong, this The chief of the Treasury Department should be Dou Yan's person.
"Master Butang has already signed the document." Although Han Zhou is only a sixth-rank master, his official voice is more serious than Dou Yan. He is holding a teacup without looking at Qin Xiao: "From today, you will I work as a errand in the Department of Treasury Department. You have just joined the military department, so naturally you are not familiar with what to do."
Qin Xiao smiled and said: "I'm here for the first time, and I will need to take care of the principal in the future."
"I can't talk about caring, as long as you work hard, you can get praise without caring. If you are half-hearted and negligent, the official will not be merciless." Han Zhou pointed to a small box on the table: "It's your seal inside. Put it away, even if it's from my Treasury Department."
Qin Xiao walked over, picked up the box, opened it, and looked at it. It was a small black seal. Just about to take it out, Han Zhou coughed deliberately. Qin Xiao immediately put away the seal and Han Zhou glanced at it. After Qin Xiao glanced at him, he said coldly, "No matter what you did before, since you are here, everything must behave according to the rules. The rules are actually simple. Whatever the official says, you just do it honestly. What, don’t talk nonsense, and don’t do things that you shouldn’t do."
"Yes!" Qin Xiao looked respectful.
Seeing that Qin Xiao’s attitude was good, Han Zhou looked calmer and asked, “By the way, where did you get your horse? I see that the horse is very beautiful, and there are many officials riding horses in the Yamen. No one seems to be comparable to your horse."
Han Zhou suddenly mentioned the Black Overlord, Qin Xiao felt something wrong in his heart, and smiled and said: "When the humble job was in Xiling, I got it by chance. It's not so good."
"You are an official, riding such a horse, but it is a bit too ostentatious." Han Zhou blew the tea foam and said: "Ling the official's salary for one year is thirty taels of silver, and another eighty
Shi Lumi, raising a family is naturally not a problem, but it is probably difficult to buy such a horse. If this horse is in the horse market, it costs hundreds of taels of silver. "
Qin Xiao thought that the Black Overlord was a priceless treasure, and one hundred taels of silver could buy a mane.
"What do adults mean?"
"The imperial court ordered the officials to be honest and self-disciplined." Han Zhou put down his teacup and looked at Qin Xiao said: "You ride in and out of the yamen on a horse like this every day, and you are seen by others, thinking that we are all in charge of the treasury. With a rich waist and spread it, it will naturally have an impact on us."
The ritual system of the Datang Empire has strict regulations for officials on sedan chairs. At least five-rank officials are eligible to ride four-person sedan chairs. So even a sixth-rank master like Han Zhou is not eligible to ride sedan chairs.
However, even a seventh-rank official can ride a horse or even ride an ordinary carriage.
"My lord is saying you can't ride a horse in a humble position?"
"That's not what I meant." Han Zhou said: "Every day as a errand, riding a horse can save time. It doesn't matter, but riding an ordinary horse is enough. If you want, the officer can fight with the driving department. Say hello, adjust an ordinary mount from there, and it will be yours to use in the future."
Qin Xiao asked: "My lord, what should I do with this humble horse?"
Han Zhou coughed and picked up the tea cup again, but there was a trace of uncomfortable expression on his face. He pointed to the chair next to him and said: "Sit down and talk first."
Qin Xiao is not polite. He walked over and sat down. Han Zhou said slowly: "My official wanted to buy a horse recently, but he has not found a good horse. If you want, can you sell your horse to My official." Without waiting for Qin Xiao to speak, he immediately said: "The official can buy it with money."
It's okay that he didn't say these words. As soon as he said these words, Qin Xiao immediately understood Han Zhou's thoughts.
Undoubtedly, this guy actually fell in love with his Black Overlord, so he mentioned the BMW abruptly today. He said that he wanted to pay for it, but the meaning in his words clearly meant that he wanted Qin Xiao gave him the Black Overlord.
Qin Xiao really didn't expect that Han Zhou would be shameless to this point.
He entered the yamen the first day, and this guy wanted to win love.
Seeing that Qin Xiao didn't speak, Han Zhou's face became a little ugly, and he asked, "Why? Are you not willing?"
"What do the adults say, the humble mounts can be admired by adults, that is the honor of the humble duties." Qin Xiao smiled and said: "My lord, the humble mounts are not sold."
Han Zhou snorted coldly, before speaking, Qin Xiao already immediately said: "If you like it, you can give it to the adult."
Han Zhou's face stiffened when he had been cold, then he opened his eyes and waved his hand: "You can't, Qin Xiao, the gentleman is magnanimous. Although the officer likes your horse, he doesn't want you to give it away. You say A price, if I think it’s suitable, let’s discuss it again."
"Adults are incorruptible and admired by humble positions." Qin Xiao said: "Well, if adults really like them and don't want to send them off from humble positions, adults just give me a few dollars."
Han Zhou was very satisfied with Qin Xiao's knowledge of current affairs, and said softly: "The official saw a calligraphy and painting in the antique shop a while ago. According to the market price, it will cost at least a hundred taels of silver, but the antique shop treasurer I made a personal affection, and finally offered a price of one or two silver, hahaha...!"
"My lord, how about you give a couple of silver to that humble horse?" Qin Xiao understood.
Han Zhou smiled thicker, got up, walked to Qin Xiao's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Although you are young, you have a clear sense of reason, and you will definitely have a bright future in the future." He whispered: "One Isn’t the two too few?
No more one or two? "
"Enough is enough." Qin Xiao said with a smile: "But there is one thing, I need to tell the adults first. That horse is a fierce wild horse, and it took a lot of effort to tame it. , If I want to change to a new owner, I don’t know if it’s suitable."
Han Zhou only thought that Qin Xiao was an excuse. He saw the Black Overlord next to Qin Xiao as docile as a daughter-in-law, how could he believe that the Black Overlord was wild, with a slight smile, Qin Xiao didn't wait for him to speak. Already got up and said: "My lord, let's take a look at the horse first. I will give it a try. If the adults are really satisfied, the adults will give a penny or two to the humble position and the horse will belong to the adults."
Han Zhou feared Qin Xiao's repentance, and said: "Let's talk, but we have to say it."
"That is natural." Qin Xiao raised his hand and said: "My lord, please, let's go see the horse first."
At the beginning of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, iron cavalry used to cross the world, but every war consumed a lot of war horses, and the empire itself produced not many war horses, and it was very difficult to supplement war horses. For this reason, a tea horse market was opened in the north. Trade horses with the Tusun people in the north.
However, the Tusun people are also very cunning. Those who trade with Datang are all bad horses. Tusun's ministries will never allow good horses that can fight to flow into Datang.
It was not until the empire took control of Xiling that the vast pastures under Helan Mountain provided the empire with high-quality war horses.
Nevertheless, the Empire attaches great importance to war horses from beginning to end.
Taipu Temple is in charge of the Tianxia Racecourse, specializing in raising war horses for the empire. The Driving Department of the Ministry of War manages the world's livestock and station traffic. During the war, it has the right to mobilize war horses. The horses used by the stations in various places are also used by the driving department. Allocation, but these horses used for transmission are not war horses that can be used for combat.
The high-quality war horses selected by the horse farms in various places are controlled by Taipu Temple, and as early as Emperor Taizong, there was a clear order that no official can privately transfer war horses as mounts, and offenders are severely punished.
Officials of the Ministry of War, naturally, it is impossible for everyone to be qualified to come to the Yamen on a sedan chair. Many officials live far away from the Yamen and can only come on horseback. However, the Ministry of War clearly stipulates that the driving department can give more than six ranks. Officials of 1989 are equipped with mounts, and officials below Rank 6 are not responsible for fixing the mounts. They either come on foot or buy a horse by themselves.
Of course, the mounts that the Driving Department allocates to the officials are also classified according to their grades. The higher the grade, the better the mounted mounts, but the real good horses are used as combat horses. No matter how good the official mounts are , Also can not reach the standard of war horse.
Therefore, a real senior official does not need to be equipped with horses in the driving department, but to buy good horses by himself. After all, not all good horses and BMWs will be sent to the army. There are still many good horses in circulation in the horse market.
Han Zhou travels on a carriage every day. The horse is also from the driving department, but after all, he is only a sixth-rank master, and a good horse cannot be his turn.
Seeing that Qin Xiao’s Black Overlord, Shenjun is abnormal, I was only envious in my heart. Now that Qin Xiao is transferred to his own subordinate, he has a crooked mind, thinking that Qin Xiao will not easily agree, but Unexpectedly, but unexpectedly, Qin Xiao promised to give it to him quickly.
Naturally, he dare not accept it directly. He does not spend a penny and accepts the horse. In the future, it is not impossible to convict a bribe, but as long as he spends a penny or two, it is considered to be bought by himself. , The amount of money is not important, the important thing is that this is a private transaction, one is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell, no one can tell if it is not.
The Department of Treasury has its own stable. Qin Xiao’s Black Overlord was led to the stable before. Han Zhou saw the unusual BMW from a distance. Both his body and spirit were far stronger than those who dare not. Ordinary horses close to the Black Overlord, it really makes me like it as I look at it.
