Chapter 118 The Holy Majesty is afraid that he has no cash, so he gave us banknotes
"Can all the eunuchs tell me why, within a month of dispatching the working group, several eunuchs in charge of the village committed suicide out of fear of crime? Are they so afraid of the law of the country? There are some things that I don't want to go to war with right now! It's up to you to do it yourself! Again
If I receive news that someone commits suicide out of fear of crime, I will not spare you lightly. Since the beginning of the year, I have repeatedly emphasized that you should pay attention to the matter of Huangzhuang. What is the result? Almost every working group has responded to countless questions.
The one hundred thousand taels allocated at the beginning of the year for water conservancy repairs are rarely used in the right places. How can you explain this to me?" In front of Chen Dayou and other members of the working group, Zhu Youjian asked Wang Defa sternly,
Wang Zhixin, Wang Chengen and several other great eunuchs.
"We failed to supervise the emperor's affairs well and missed the important matter of the emperor. We deserve death!" Seeing the emperor's anger, several eunuchs could only kneel down and beg for mercy. Ever since the working team was dispatched, they have not stopped for a day. This is true.
How terrible! Who would have thought that with a bunch of young men, they could uncover almost all the dirty deeds in the Imperial Manor.
"Is it just a lack of supervision? If it weren't for the support of some of you, would they dare to act so wildly? That's all! Once the death and the incident are over, I will give you another chance to make a change. This year, I will allocate money for water conservancy repairs and give me a lot of compensation.
Qi, allocate money back to the farm as soon as possible so that the farmers can quickly repair the water conservancy facilities. Don’t think that I don’t know who has tampered with it. Wang Zhixin, whose godson is Wang Siyi in Dawangzhuang? Do you know!"
"This old slave is guilty of death! I mistakenly accepted a traitor! Please punish me." Wang Zhixin was so frightened that he knelt on the ground sweating profusely!
"Daban, your expert factory has been established for more than half a year, right? It has made no achievements, how can you explain to me?"
When Wang Chengen heard the emperor's words of accountability, he kowtowed as if to apologize.
"I will give you another half year. During this six months, there will be a major rectification in the palace. Clean your hands and feet first. I don't believe that the problem is only in the palace. I will give you a lot of what is due to you, but
From now on, if your hands and feet are unclean, don't blame me for being ruthless. In half a year, I will send a working group again to conduct a major survey of all the bureau supervisors in the palace. If there are any problems at that time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will go down and rectify the situation on my own right away, and will never cause any more trouble to Your Majesty."
"Take care of yourself! This time something happened to the Imperial Village. All affairs will be taken over by the working group first. After careful discussion at the internal affairs hall, the formal selection of the eunuch to oversee the village will be sent to him as an intern. After the working group has withdrawn, he will officially take up the post. Chen Da
Where are the members of the Dawangzhuang working group?"
Suddenly being called upon by the emperor, Chen Dayou and others quickly stepped forward to answer the question.
"You performed very well in Dawangzhuang this time. I will give you some credit. But don't be complacent because of this. After returning to Dawangzhuang, you will do your best to take care of the affairs of the farm. In the next two months, you will be able to improve the farm."
How can one be considered to have the ability to govern, regardless of the chance of birth? A strong general must be born from the ranks of the soldiers, and a prime minister must be appointed from a state or county. Before, our Ming Dynasty took a detour in official positions, and I am ready to straighten the road. Can we correct the detour?
Yes, I have to rely on your hard work. I hope you can give me reassurance. You must be unfamiliar with farming. When you get to the farm, you must patiently ask the farmers for advice and use the people as your teachers. Don't be like some frivolous scholars who have no regard for the people.
He also has no country, and still thinks of himself as a gentleman all day long."
Chen Dayou and the others thought that after returning this time, the work of the working group would come to an end. Unexpectedly, the emperor would arrange for them to go to Huangzhuang to complete the remaining two months of work. However, what the emperor finally said was that the fierce generals would start with
It's interesting to say that the prime minister will be sent to the prefectures and counties. He doesn't mean that people like us also have the opportunity to become prime ministers, right? Can we become prime ministers even if we don't have an imperial examination background? This picture is a bit big.
After Chen Dayou and the others left, Zhu Youjian no longer paid attention to the work group's affairs. He relied on these eunuchs to do something in the palace and gave eye drops to the eunuchs in the palace. It shouldn't be a big problem now.
His focus is still on the two major things of building an army and making money. This year's goal is not big. He can earn two million taels of silver and build a new army of more than 20,000 people.
At present, the New Army personnel of the fifth brigade are considered to be fully staffed. Next, we will see whether they can form combat effectiveness in about three months.
At the Xishan New Army Camp, nearly 10,000 soldiers were doing a big thing today - collecting money. After Gong Yonggu set up their bank, Zhu Youjian asked them to start business quickly, first paying the New Army's salary.
Things will unfold and we will see the effect of the trial.
Veteran Wang Er is now a squad leader of the 3rd Brigade of the New Army. Normally, the company and platoon leaders receive their pay and then distribute it to them. However, something unexpected happened this month. It was said that he had to go to the camp next to the supply and marketing cooperative to recruit new soldiers.
Go to the bank where you opened and get the newly issued nameplate yourself.
Is this thing reliable? They don’t know who I am. How can I get paid with such a bronze medal? In order to make it easier for them to get paid, the camp has not arranged any training tasks in the afternoons for the past three days. Wang Er’s first day
I didn’t waste any time in the afternoon and ran straight over to queue up.
Looking over, there are quite a lot of people queuing up to get paid for this good guy! Even his old boss, Mayou Liang, now commander of the 1st Regiment of the Third Brigade, seems to be queuing up in front. Do generals like them get their salaries here? Wang Er
Somewhat surprised.
While we were queuing, we heard people in the queue say: "Have you heard? This time the payouts are not in silver, but in silver dollars and banknotes."
"If you don't give out silver, what are the silver coins you give out? Can they be used as money?"
"Yinyuan is money made from silver. There are two types: one liang and half liang. Not everything about these things is made of silver. The key is to issue banknotes. Isn't this a scam?"
"Banknotes? We are the emperor's personal army, how can we use banknotes to fool people? The guards don't use such things to deceive people."
"Perhaps Your Majesty has been short of money recently. He just gave us a reward some time ago. I guess there is no money in the internal treasury. Otherwise, why would the payment for this month be delayed until the second half of the month?"
"It's okay if we only issue the emergency payment this time, but it's not okay if we keep issuing the emergency payment in the future. It should be the emergency payment only this time, otherwise we won't let the generals not pay this time."
Distributing silver coins and banknotes? Listening to his comrades in the team discussing pay, Wang Er became angrier the more he listened. It felt as if his feelings had been deceived. If there weren't so many people here and many officers, he would have wanted them.
He grinned and cursed.
Suppressing his anger, he slowly followed the team to the lobby of the bank. There were more than a dozen windows for collecting money in the lobby. Wang Er was guided to a window to collect money.
"Take out the nameplate!" A clerk at the counter shouted to Wang Er loudly.
Wang Er quickly took out the nameplate and handed it to the clerk at the counter.
"Wang Er from Third Brigade, First Regiment, Second Company, Second Platoon, Class A."
"Exactly!" Wang Er was a little confused as to how they could know his identity just by looking at the nameplate? The platoon leader said that only his name was written on it.
"What's your platoon leader's name?"
"Call Lu Darong!"
"What's your leader's name?"
"Mayu forgive me!"
"The inspection is correct. Wang Er, a first-class soldier, is actually paid three hundred and seventy yuan per month. Do you know what your monthly salary is?"
"That's the number!"
"Okay! Now let me give you some money. I will give you two one-tael silver coins, two half-tael silver coins, two purple banknotes, two red banknotes, two magenta banknotes, two blue banknotes, one green banknote, and white banknotes.
There are five banknotes, totaling three hundred and seventy cents in cash. Count them carefully and stamp your fingerprints on the banknotes if they are correct." The clerk at the counter shouted the number of money while counting the money for Wang Er. After counting the money.
Finally, in addition to handing him money, he also handed him a paper fold.
