141 Jiangyou Chaos
If you don’t know that the firewood and rice are expensive, Lu Haoshan is really scared now. If the picket team is equipped with war horses, the monthly expenses will be as high as 600 taels and a year's expenses will be as high as 7,200 taels. This is a conservative estimate. The small glacier will continue to be swelling and raging, and the fields will continue to lose their harvests, and the food price will only further increase, and the cost will also rise.
Without the grants from the court, no tax support, and no support from the people, just supporting the army by one's own strength, it would be like using silver to fill the bottomless pit. Lu Haoshan had a lot of money, and the cash in his hand was about 30,000 taels, which was about 60,000 taels, which seemed a lot, but when he thought that he had only 300 picket members under his command and still had 300 people with enough equipment, he would have to spend a lot of money to purchase elite armor, Lu Haoshan felt cold.
This little person is not enough to be between the two teeth of the Jinjin.
If you want to grow, the most basic thing is to ask for money and people. This tea and horse transaction brought back more than 500 horses, more than 300 of which were top-notch horses. This was a huge sum of money. If Zhao Yuqing, the partner, was not very useful and had helped him before, he might be his future father-in-law. Lu Haoshan really wanted to make him. Eat alone. Anyway, he dared to do anything to snatch the imperial court's official silver. Killing a businessman is nothing, but he just thought about it.
Dare to act and do whatever you want, does not mean inhumanity.
Now that he heard that Zhao Yuqing was willing to give up the proceeds of this exchange, Lu Haoshan was naturally overjoyed and immediately asked.
Zhao Yuqing sighed and said helplessly: "Harling a son for 100 years is 99 years old. This old saying is not right. Adults also know that Zhao has a daughter who is at the age of discussing marriage, but she is not satisfied with her. This makes me worry. If the adults can find a good husband for my son, not asking for royal children, the young master of the official family, and the young master of the rich family, as long as Min'er likes it. If the adults can do this, this little property will be regarded as a reward for the adults."
Damn, Lu Haoshan felt a little excited and almost wanted to kiss this cute old man.
Now in Jiangyou County, it can be said that the matter between him and Zhao Min was heard in the streets early in the morning. As a woman, Zhao Min went to the county government many times to ask Lu Haoshan for Jiuzhang arithmetic. Even the fool could see that she was interested in him. If it weren't for this tea-horse transaction, she might have been married long ago. I guess her performance in this industry was pretty good. Jiangyou wanted to marry a woman suitable for her. Zhao Yuqing was hinting that it was time for him to come to propose marriage.
If Zhao Min is married, it is a family, and this little property is not worth mentioning to the Zhao clan. Not only that, the Zhao clan will also help him with whatever he has to do.
Lu Haoshan's heart was as clear as a mirror and immediately said, "Don't worry, the old patriarch Zhao. Lu promised to find a good husband for Miss Zhao, so that Miss Zhao would be satisfied."
"There is still a small condition." Zhao Yuqing continued.
"Please tell me, Old Clan Chief Zhao."
"I, Zhao Yuqing, worked hard all my life, and only had a daughter under my knees. Although she was from a businessman's house, Zhao didn't want her daughter to fill in the house, so she was wronged."
It turned out that this was the case, but fortunately he had no object. Lu Haoshan was not eating the bowl and looking at the pot, and said without hesitation: "Of course, with Miss Zhao's figure, appearance, character, talent and talent, she is more than enough to sit in the main room, so how can she fill a house?"
Zhao Yuqing nodded with satisfaction and stopped saying anything.
Smart people like to talk to smart people, they can be easily understood at all, and there is no need to waste so much saliva.
Lu Haoshan was in a good mood at the moment and felt a little light. More than 500 horses and a big beauty were considered to be both rich and lustful. He had not gotten married yet, so there were so many small sweet things. If he married Zhao Min, wouldn’t the dowry make him unable to stop his hands?
These people in the Ming Dynasty were really direct. Once they took a fancy to your potential and recognized you, they would immediately win over it. It is said that many people were immediately snatched by princes and ministers as sons-in-law after high school. They used to think it was a bit unreal and too exaggerated. Judging from their current experience, it is not surprising.
Of course, this can be found.
When Lu Haoshan thought of the more than 500 horses, he once again realized that no one was rich without money. If he only relied on tea horse trading, then there were only 160 horses. In this 160 area, it was the result of his own tax evasion. If 40% of the horses belonged to the court and 60% were his own, then there would be less than 100 horses. Now the price of horses is high. Assuming only 60 taels per horse, the horses that were exchanged were about 6,000 taels, and the cost of more than 200 horses was about 2,000 taels. This is to minimize the expenses of horses, let them eat grass and coarse grains, etc., and then there were still 3,000 taels. Considering that more than half of them were blackmailed and robbed, the profit was only more than 1,000 taels.
More than one thousand taels may sound very little, but considering that the county magistrate only has forty-two years of salary per year, it is also worth a few decades of salary per county magistrate, which is not true. Many big businessmen have accumulated over a year, and not every businessman is Shen Wansan.
After the distribution was completed, the big rock in my heart was also let go, and the barrier between Lu Haoshan and Zhao Yuqing was also eliminated. Not only did they eliminate, but their relationship was also much closer. Although they had not been officially penetrated, the husband had the intention and the concubine had the intention, and even the father-in-law would support him. Sooner or later, they would be the father-in-law.
Lu Haoshan returned home like an arrow, and he was reluctant to miss the scenery along the way. He rushed all the way. In early August, he successfully passed Zitian Pass and entered Sichuan.
There is a small episode, when passing Zitian Pass, the Zitian Pass commander Cai Yanwang was not there. It is said that he reported to his superiors for something, but he was not in the pass, but he just arranged his subordinates to pass Lu Haoshan's caravan. When he saw Lu Haoshan, he didn't ask anything or check anything. He opened the door and let everyone pass smoothly. Even Lu Haoshan couldn't believe it.
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Haoshan understood that most of the time, King Cai was scared by his blackmail. Without saying a word that day, he blackmailed him a Hetian jade ornament, 100 pounds and 20,000 pounds of tea. This was a huge sum of money. As a general guarding the gate, even if he had something to do, I could not leave casually, unless there was an imperial edict from the emperor or a transfer order from his superiors. Hehe, it was really interesting. Even the "King of Hell" was afraid of himself.
......
Just as Lu Haoshan was rushing to the road, the Jiangyou County Yamen was not very calm, and the entire Yamen was brewing an uneasy atmosphere.
The county magistrate has not been in the hall for more than two months. Many things in the county government cannot be carried out. After all, some major matters need to be decided by the county magistrate. Not to mention other things, even a lot of cases have been accumulated. Some are criminal cases. If the county magistrate is not promoted to the hall, no one can be tried. They can only be temporarily detained and some official documents must be replied to. Not only is the work of the county government difficult to carry out, but morale is difficult to improve.
What's more, there has been a major event recently, which requires the decision of the county master.
Liu Jinzhu sat on the chair of the Grand Master in the constable room, put his feet on the table in front of him. While looking at the pictures of the erotic palace that his subordinates came up with filial piety, he ate fruits and made a few despicable laughs from time to time. There was also a sensible yamen runner next to him to fan the air. Not to mention how beautiful it was. As the head of Jiangyou County, he was equivalent to the director of the public security bureau of a county in the later generations. He had a lot of power. He didn't have to go to run around and give orders in the class room.
In fact, Liu Jinzhu was illiterate and he couldn't understand those books.
"Captain Liu is really leisurely, haha." Just as Liu Jinzhu looked at the erotic map, a voice suddenly sounded.
Liu Jinzhu looked up and saw Zhang Yunhui standing at the door of the class room looking at him with a smile, quickly putting his feet down and saying, "It turns out that the county magistrate is here, please come in, please come in."
After Lu Haoshan took his leave, Jiangyou County had the greatest power and was responsible for the operation of the entire county government. Even Liu Jinzhu had to give him face.
Zhang Yunhui was not polite, so he came in and sat down, and then asked directly: "Captain Liu, the two-month vacation of Lord Liu has ended. I wonder when he will come back?"
"Oh, the county magistrate is not planning to report to Shangguan, right?"
"Where, Captain Zhou, don't joke. The county master is Zhang's Shangguan. Besides, Zhang is the support of the county master. Zhang is definitely not a person who is forgiving his interests and ungrateful. How can he do such a vulgar thing? Captain Zhou, don't make fun of Zhang." Zhang Yunhui smiled bitterly and said, "Captain Liu, you know that there are several cases that cannot be delayed. It has been imprisoned for so long. It is not appropriate for the sake of emotion, reason or law. The court's official documents must also be replied to. The most important thing is that you and I know that people who are not stuck in mud have entered my Jiangyou County. In the past, the White Lotus Sect committed crimes and now there are non-mud-touching mud to stir up this trouble. This matter can be big or small. How to do it, the county magistrate will have an idea."
When it comes to Wushen, Liu Jinzhu, who was a little careless, looked furious. Liu Jinzhu knew that this Wushen was originally named Zhang Cunmeng. He revolted in Luochuan in the first year of Chongzhen, and then he kept wandering in Shaanxi and Gansu, and his momentum became increasingly popular. The court listed him as a major criminal. Long'an Prefecture was at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi. It is estimated that Wushen also liked the country of Tianfu and was preparing to develop his power here, so he sent someone to try the waters here.
Even the remote Jiangyou didn't let it go.
In fact, recently, arresting the unspoiled party and other unrest has become the top priority for the third squad. Although Liu Jinzhu is sitting here, all the subordinates who can be sent out have been sent out.
"Mr. County magistrate doesn't have to worry. It is said that there are only more than ten people who are not stuck in mud, and they can't make any troubles. I ordered the township heroes in various places to step up their investigations and set up checkpoints on each important road, so that they will not have the opportunity to take advantage of them."
Zhang Yunhui nodded. In fact, he came mainly to find out when Lu Haoshan would come back. He reminded him to notify him as soon as possible when there was news about Lu Haoshan. He exchanged a few more greetings before leaving.
After seeing off Zhang Yunhui, the smile on Liu Jinzhu's face disappeared suddenly. Looking out the window, he thought with concern: Brother Shan has been going for more than two months in a blink of an eye. Now it is so chaotic, nothing will happen...
