Chapter 28 Mother and son discuss

"What are you calling out there? Speak quietly, no one in the house knows it! Don't let the second wife know. You said that if the second wife knew about this, she would be even more powerful."

Wang Xifeng looked unhappy when she thought about it, which was really annoying.

Luoyun Plain,

After Zhang Jinyu arranged many things to Ping Liaocheng, he returned to Pingyang County City. Along the way, he also saw many abandoned villages for a long time, abandoned farmland and villages. They looked like they were all good black soil, and they thought to themselves.

It's all money, so we have to find a way to recover them.

But the key point is that there is a shortage of people. This is not a big problem. There are many people in the pass, with thousands of refugees. The Dawu court was tortured by them so much that they wanted them to die.

The reason is hidden dangers. A drought and a flood, causing farmers who have no savings to go bankrupt and have low commissions. After a long time, more people will be there. If someone is ruthless, it will basically be a copy of the Mo version. If it becomes

It was the founding emperor who lost one hundred times and had no money.

But the Dawu court is not good. This is how the country came about back then. It must be strictly guarded. So as long as you speak, the Wu Emperor will definitely agree. The key is that it is impossible to just talk about this. Who is the emperor is not the seven orifice and the ghost

Very, go back and think about countermeasures.

Zhang Jinyu walked all the way and thought it was so uncomfortable that he returned to Pingyang County City, returned to the Hou Mansion, gave Ningbian a few words, and went to Dongyun Tower to pay tribute to his mother.

Mrs. Wang had known that Zhang Jinyu was going back, so she ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch and prepare to welcome Zhang Jinyu.

Zhang Jinyu, who had just entered the door, saw his mother sitting upright in the study and writing, so he came to the door with slightest steps, and kept his feet in front of the room for fear of disturbing Mrs. Wang.

"Come in, what are you doing there?"

Mrs. Wang had long seen Zhang Jinyu come in and acted very well, not impatient or impatient, and those who accomplish great things must do the same.

"Please pay tribute to my mother. The work over there is done. As long as you do it step by step, there will be no big problem when you come."

"That's good, be careful in everything and leave more ways out."

"Thank you for your mother's teachings, my son knows. I want to ask, who is responsible for the procurement and chamber of commerce in the government? I think I am using them to do some business, at least to earn money. Now I have become a military governor. I am afraid of the court.

meeting!"

Zhang Jinyu was a little hesitant and questioned. After all, this is a reality, not a TV series, but there is no other reference.

"The court will inevitably slowly cut off your food and salary until the troops take down their command without bloodshed."

Mrs. Wang directly answered the following words for Zhang Jinyu.

Zhang Jinyu didn't believe it very much. After all, the court now needs itself, and this is not a honeymoon period.

"Isn't this possible? I just sealed the Jiedushi, and I'm stumbled over there?"

"It should be after this battle that the court knew that you had won the battle, at most two years or one year later. It must be like this. Dawu is not short of bad people. Let me ask you, how much should the previous salary soldiers pay each month?

”

"Mother, this court stipulates that each soldier of the border army will be charged 2 taels of silver per month."

"Yes, but how many of them have you received it?"

Zhang Jinyu was not busy answering. When he thought about it carefully, he felt bad. As a soldier in the border army, it was said to be 2 taels of silver every month, but every time the money handed to him by the court was a shortage. He was paying it himself, and each person

Soldiers all cost less than 1 tael of silver.

This is because Zhang Jinyu did not drink the blood of the soldiers. In order to keep the number of soldiers in real amounts, the amount of money was paid. The whole army knew it, so each unit was considered a direct line of the people who were devoted to it, which was also the reason why the powerful and powerful people in the pass did not come here.

one.

"It's only 1 tael, it's not enough, it's known to the whole army."

"Yes, you know that the vacancy of soldiers in other places, especially those in the pass, can reach 80%, and even the border troops can at least 50%.

When Zhang Jinyu heard this, he was shocked;

"Mother, no! The 10,000 defenders are only two thousand people as you said. If something happens, it won't be."

"Just as you think, Dawu doesn't look very strong, so you look particularly dazzling. Also, I remember the previous prefect told you to collect some money or drink some soldiers' blood.

Why didn’t you agree?”

Is this a matter?

Zhang Jinyu thought about it and it really happened, as for why?

I am not afraid of death. If the border army does not maintain enough numbers, it is because it is located in the border area. If there are fewer people, your life will not be guaranteed!

For example, in Pingliao City, 50,000 defenders were registered, and they only found out after they started fighting.

The number of talents on the wall is less than 21,000, so the ending is naturally self-evident, so the Jurchens came later, and the upper floors of Pingyao City ran away, so there has been no new one since the previous prefect was transferred.

This is why the prefect comes.

"Mother, aren't you afraid of death? If you were like them, you would have been cold now and there would be no big victory. As for the reinforcements, I think they are well-trained and have the potential to strengthen the army."

Mrs. Wang smiled,

"Then see who is leading the army? This time it's the Lord's younger brother. If you change to someone else, let's see how many people can come or how many elites can come!"

"I understand. This Dawu is also superficial. Why can he still be in a prosperous state?"

"It's very simple. You haven't been to the following places to see. They are all in the big city. Besides, the Jingying Jiedushi, the Jingying below is 300,000 elite, plus the Zhou family's royal family 20

Ten thousand imperial guards.”

Zhang Jinyu understood this. One is to look at it from another perspective. Another court center's military power suppressed the world.

That's not right?

"Mother, this time the imperial court gave me 250,000 troops. What is the reason? This is almost the same as the number of people in the Beijing camp."

Mrs. Wang put down her pen and said sinisterly;

"This is the key. The court is very good. If you are still fighting, the court will definitely calculate the number of people you need to defend. Moreover, if your number reaches 250,000, you will not fight. What should you do if the food and salary of these people are cut off?

The food and salary may be delayed for a year. What will happen if you don’t have money to pay for it at that time?”

After hearing this, Zhang Jinyu was sweating profusely. Now the number of people under his command is almost 200,000, and his small treasury cannot help but spend it. This military expenditure includes all the cost of food, clothing and weapons.

"Then mother, can't you ask the court in advance for more reserves?"

Mrs. Wang looked at herself like a fool.

"You are dreaming. Now the money is blocked by the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue to give you a little card. Before leaving Beijing, you can get a little card. How much is left in your hands? It's all unspoken rules. You want to make money from you, but you still want to get from you in advance

What do they think about holding it in their hands?”

Zhang Jinyu also blushed and felt embarrassed. Who is Lan Xing who owes money is the master?

Mrs. Wang continued;

"If you want to get rid of the control of the court, you can only get rid of the money and food of the court and the dependence of the armor and armor. If you have the weapons, you will have them in the Xicheng of Pingyang. What are you planning for the money and food?"

"My mother is right. Food must be free from the control of the inner city, otherwise it will always be controlled by others. There are so many abandoned fields in the Luoyun Plain, and it can be said that it can be restored in one year. As for money, I was just about to say, monopoly.

and resume the transaction with the caravans within the pass.”

Zhang Jinyu has the confidence and thoughts in his heart. Yes, as long as he gets money and food, Luo Yun has a lot of land, and with land, everything is all. The only difference is only a matter of time. As for money, you can still use it.

Caravans make a big fuss.

"Well! The caravan is making a big fuss, how to do it?"

Mrs. Wang seemed to have some uncertain questions about this.

Zhang Jinyu is indeed very confident in his Tao;

"Mother, the profits of the goods inside the pass are at least four times higher than the limit, and even the food, etc. will double the price. If I choose to protect the caravan, the losses will be compensated by the Marquis' Mansion, but the price is indeed doubled, and all of them are

The Hou Mansion acquired it, do you think anyone is willing to come?"

"The price is twice as low as the profit is three times the maximum. I'm not willing to do so, but if I want to buy a safe package, I can still consider it, but why do you have to protect your Hou Mansion? I'm not more

profit?"

Human nature is greedy, especially for businessmen. Mrs. Wang is sure that someone will not agree.

"Mother, what the child said was that he could come if he agreed, but he would never come if he disagreed."

"You want to!"
