Chapter 1: The East Factory's Strongest Weapon Stuns the Factory Boss
Chapter 1: The East Factory's Strongest Weapon Stuns the Factory Boss
Pei Yuan checked his badge and entered the Northern Pacification Office.
Perhaps because they knew that the latest celebrity had arrived, many idle Jinyiwei military officers deliberately went around to the front yard to take a look.
Xiaoqi, who was following closely behind Pei Yuan, saw those people looking at him from a distance with a smile on their faces. He was afraid that his superior would be impulsive and make mistakes, so he lowered his voice and persuaded, "Sir, it's okay, don't pay attention to them."
"Mei Qiniang is one of the most beautiful girls in the world, we won't suffer any loss."
Pei Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he turned back to look at the little flag with a sullen face, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
The little flag lowered his head and said nothing.
Pei Yuan turned around and saw a strange fat military officer looking at him carefully.
After looking at Pei Yuan, the fat military officer said sarcastically, "Let's go, the boss is waiting for you."
Pei Yuan said "hmm" expressionlessly and walked past him.
As he walked, he opened his own "debt settlement system".
Character: Pei Yuan
Occupation: Jinyiwei (sixth rank centurion).
Property debt:
Debts receivable: 0
Debts payable: (52/52)
The total amount of money owed was 38,250 taels (Gu Dayong 30,000 taels, Zhang Yaochen 120 taels, Tao Liben 32 taels, Chen Lu 55 taels...)
Debt of favor:
Debts Receivable (1/1): You fulfilled Mei Qinniang's dying wish and can ask her for a favor.
Debt to be repaid (0/1): You owe a favor to Chang An, the Dianshi of Daxing County. Chang An hopes that you can marry his daughter to offset this favor. He has given up this idea. The host can delete this debt or force repayment.
Current debt ceiling: 215 taels (currently overspent by taels, days until the settlement date, the overspent portion will be forcibly settled)
Current credit value: 15/100 (You have received news that Jinyiwei is actually vacant, which gives your debtor a little confidence)
Special state: Don’t worry about having too much debt (you are now in an inexplicable calmness).
After Pei Yuan finished reading, his eyes fell on the words "Gu Dayong 30,000 taels", and he couldn't help but sigh.
Ever since he ran to Gu Dayong to borrow the 30,000 taels of silver, Pei Yuan knew that he was embarking on an extremely difficult road.
Pei Yuan's family was ordinary, and his father was in debt from gambling before his death.
In the martial arts examination, he got the lowest score.
The only thing that impressed me was that during the exam, I missed the target with an arrow and broke the flagpole.
If Pei Yuan were described as penniless and good-for-nothing, it wouldn't be too harsh.
Fortunately, the eunuch Gu Dayong, who was in charge of military affairs at the time, laughed when he saw this and commented in public, "This boy is quite capable in taking the flag."
Faced with this nonsense, the officials accompanying the examinee looked at each other in bewilderment.
Soon, Pei Yuan, who should have failed the exam due to his own ability, was promoted to the top after many officials re-evaluated the opinions.
If someone were to say something irresponsible about Pei Yuan's ability, then Bai Yu, the deputy governor of the rear palace, Mao Rui, the earl of Fuqiang, and Lu Wan, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, would not agree.
With the honors in the military examination, Pei Yuan was eligible to inherit his father's title of captain of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
The reason why Pei Yuan was able to make Gu Dayong smile in the martial arts arena and make many examiners change their minds was because he used the "debt settlement system" to force Gu Dayong to borrow 30,000 taels of silver!
It is certainly not easy to take Gu Dayong’s money, not to mention that it is not so easy to pass the "reasonableness judgment of debt transactions".
So Pei Yuan, who borrowed money from Gu Dayong, immediately gave the 30,000 taels to Gu Dayong to buy an official position.
Gu Dayong felt very calm now that the huge loan he had lent out in a moment of confusion was back in his hands.
Using a large sum of money to buy an official position is reasonable in the current economic structure of society. The final result is that after buying the official position, Pei Yuan also has an additional debt that he cannot afford.
It was at this time that Pei Yuan learned that this "debt settlement system" actually had a debt ceiling setting.
He didn't know how forced settlement of the overspending debt would work, but it was certainly not what he wanted.
Originally, he had planned to make money as soon as possible after joining the Imperial Guard, repay some debts, and balance the overspending accounts.
However, Gu Dayong's stingy operation made him suffer.
Pei Yuan bought the official position from Gu Dayong. In theory, Gu Dayong should also make some arrangements with the Jinyiwei, even if it was just a word, and others would not say anything.
After all, the current leader of the Jinyiwei, Zhang Rong, the commander-in-chief and the Earl of Anding, is the younger brother of Zhang Yong, the eunuch in charge of the Silijian.
Jinyiwei is Zhang Yong’s territory, you have to give them this face.
But Gu Dayong, this scumbag, didn't want to spend money, nor did he want to owe favors, so he directly let Pei Yuan go through the formal process of the martial arts examination.
This incident seriously offended Zhang Rong, the commander of the Jinyiwei.
To make matters worse, Gu Dayong's adopted son Gu Ben held the honorary title of commander-in-chief in the Jinyiwei.
Gu Ben was a man who could not keep a secret, and he soon made known to everyone that Pei Yuan had borrowed a large sum of money.
A military officer like Pei Yuan, who owed a large sum of money and clearly came here to make money, would be disliked by both his superiors and subordinates.
There is only so much meat. If you want to eat more, what will others do?
Therefore, not long after Pei Yuan entered the Jinyiwei, he was politely interviewed by Zhang Rong, and directly given a note, and was seconded to the Dongjishi Factory.
Pei Yuan was confused and helpless.
He originally wanted to turn Zhang Yong or Zhang Rong into his creditor, but apart from Gu Dayong who would occasionally come out to satisfy his gambling addiction, he had no choice!
Now the debt is seriously overspent, and it is no longer feasible to force Zhang Rong to borrow money.
Fortunately, not everyone has to have their penis cut off when they go to the East Factory.
The nominal controller of the Dongjishichang was a group of eunuchs in the palace, but the actual people doing the work were ordinary personnel seconded from the Jinyiwei.
The two highest-ranking officials were the Chief of Criminal Affairs and the Chief of Criminal Affairs. In addition, the eunuchs dispatched low-ranking military officers such as flag officers and lieutenants.
The eunuchs in charge of the Eastern Depot were very happy to see that the Embroidered Uniform Guard had sent an extra centurion.
Qiu Ju, the eunuch in charge of the Eastern Depot, even personally inquired about the matter.
When Qiu Ju heard that the captain of the Jinyiwei who came this time was actually the top winner of this martial arts examination, he could not help but be astonished!
While Qiu Ju despised the Jinyiwei's jealousy of talented people, he decisively sent the most powerful weapon of the East Factory on the earth to carry out the most dangerous mission.
That is to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Plum Blossom Society, a rebel group in Southern Zhili!
A group of eunuchs led the Jinyi Baihu, who won the first place in the military examination, south in a menacing manner. Not long after, they brought back good news and bad news.
The good news is that the Plum Blossom Society suffered heavy losses in the siege by the Dongchang thugs.
The bad news is that a chivalrous woman named Mei Qinniang captured Pei Yuan, a captain of the Imperial Guards, alive during a breakout.
Later, when there was no hope of escape, Mei Qinniang threatened that she could not have come to this world in vain, so she dragged Pei Baihu into the bushes and killed him.
Mei Qinniang was shot to death by arrows, but Pei Baihu was luckily rescued.
After the news was reported back to Beijing, Qiu Ju, the eunuch commander-in-chief of the Eastern Depot, was so upset that he fainted in public.
The first words I said when I woke up were all hoarse.
——"Why doesn't he just die?!"
