Chapter 191 Invite the three generals to take their seats on the main stage!
Liu Yuanbin and Zhang Fengxiang returned to Miyun with the secret order. After Zhu Youjian watched them leave, he quickly called for Wang Chengen.
I called Wang Chengen here for no other reason than to collect a debt. The year before last, I injected 300,000 taels of capital into their Minsheng Bank. They used it for more than a year, and it was time to pay off the debt.
They need to spend money to adapt Tangtong. There is still a gap between the revenue of the factory area and the military expenditure. It is a bit unsafe to rely solely on military stamps. The three hundred thousand silver must be used as a reserve. .

"Daban, how was the operation of your Minsheng Bank last year?" He was a little embarrassed to directly ask for the account, so Zhu Youjian was hypocritically polite at first.
"Thanks to the Emperor, the bank still made some money last year."
"It's good if you can make money. This way you will have a place to live when you get old, and I will feel more at ease. Alas, it's also a pain for you. I have been worrying about your pension. When this year's tax reform is almost completed, these people in the palace We also need to consider pension matters. We cannot let you work hard for the royal family all your life and have no place to live when you are old."
"Your Majesty, this old slave kowtows to you. For people like us, the Emperor still cares about us taking care of us in old age. The Emperor is truly a saint." Wang Chengen was completely off guard by Zhu Youjian's words and cried bitterly. He knelt in the inner hall and kowtowed several times before being helped up by Zhu Youjian.
Wang Chengen was not moved by his own profit. A big eunuch like him would not have to worry about pensions when he gets old. He was thanking the lower-level eunuchs and maids in the palace. If pensions could really be implemented, the lower-level eunuchs and maids in the palace would The palace maids will benefit greatly, and they will no longer have to worry about their lack of stability in life when they grow old.
"What are you doing, Oban? You can't do this again!"
"Your Majesty, you are so kind to us! I really don't know how to repay the emperor for his great kindness."
"Okay, first companion, when you go back, you and the others will make a list. First, make a list of those who are about to turn sixty and those who have left the palace after turning sixty. Then we will discuss a specific charter, so that when it is actually implemented, , it will be much more convenient.”
"After I returned home, I started to organize this matter. For such a meritorious deed, the people below must be happy to do it."
"Well, let's talk about other things. I remember that the palace once borrowed 300,000 yuan from your Minsheng Bank? Recently, the Royal Bank has been minting a large amount of silver coins. If it is convenient for you, please transfer this money to Royal Bank.”
"There is still some cash in the bank. The old slave will transfer the money to the Royal Bank after he returns."
"Okay, by the way, does your Minsheng Bank need military votes?"
"Military stamps?"
"Well, I heard that the price of military coupons is being raised by outsiders at an exorbitantly high price. This won't work. I just want to ask your bank to redeem some military coupons. I guess you have contacts with some merchants and lend your hands to merchants. Let some military tickets flow over to prevent a bunch of people here in the capital from raising the ticket prices!"
"It's such a good relationship. I wonder how many military notes your Majesty will give to our bank?"
"Just exchange it for one hundred thousand taels! But it will take two or three months to exchange it all. Exchanging too much at once is also a problem!"
"After the old slave goes back, he tells his subordinates to raise money and exchange it for military notes from the prince-in-law."
I asked for an account of 300,000 taels of silver, and then wholesaled 100,000 taels of military coupons to Wang Chengen and the others. If nothing else happens, there should be no shortage of money within half a year. After half a year, the profit of the factory area should be able to
The accounts have been filled up, and the shortfall caused by the lavish spending has almost been made up. Is the lack of money so difficult to solve?
On the second day of the second lunar month, Gubei Louguan City was a bit overcrowded. Two old thieves, Ma Ke and Bai Guangen, received a letter from Liu Yuanbin saying that he wanted to hand over some military supplies. They were so anxious that they each came over with two to three thousand soldiers and horses.
.
They didn't know how much munitions the New Army dreamed of handing over, but Liu Yuanbin revealed in his letter that there were twenty heavy artillery pieces. It was inconvenient for the New Army to take them with them when they returned to the camp, and he wanted to give them to Tang Tong, Ma Ke, and Bai Guangen.
These were Hongyi's heavy artillery. When the thieves heard this, they became jealous, so they brought a large group of troops to attack the local tyrants.
"General, will General Liu really give us the red-coated heavy artillery? If he doesn't keep such a good thing, how could he give it to us out of thin air?" The teacher who entered the customs with Bai Guangen said this as he walked
The question in his mind was that he did not believe in such a good thing falling from the sky.
"Huh, Liu Yuanbin can't help it. It is estimated that the new army will be transferred to the Central Plains to fight Li Chuang soon. Heavy artillery is a good thing, but it is not convenient to carry. The emperor also knew this situation, so he asked Liu Yuanbin to distribute the artillery to us. We are
Those guarding the gate of the capital can withstand an extra wave of Tatars with heavy artillery." Bai Guangen insightfully told his staff the reason for his guess.
The battlefield in the Central Plains has become like that. Now that the New Army has freed up its hands, it will naturally fill in the battlefield in the Central Plains. I heard that the New Army is particularly capable of fighting. Li Chuang is afraid that he will suffer a lot this time. Bai Guangen was also a bandit, and he was a bandit.
When he was a thief, he met Li Zicheng, and they had a few connections. However, at that time, Li Zicheng was still a minor player, and the two had little friendship.
If there is a picture of the generational division of bandits, Li Zicheng should be regarded as the leader of the third generation of bandits, and Bai Guangen is the minor leader of the first generation. Bai Guangen was better than Li Zicheng at that time. Zhang Xianzhong should be the second generation and Gao Yingxiang is about the same seniority, which is why Zhang Xianzhong
The reason why I have always been dissatisfied with Li Zicheng is that when the Eight Kings were powerful, Li Zicheng was still a small leader. Why did he, Li Zicheng, become the leader of the rebel army after Gao Yingxiang fell?
After arriving at Guancheng, Bai Guangen met Ma Ke and Tang Tong, said hello and then said nothing. The brothers are now rivals for sharing the spoils, and it is difficult to evenly distribute the twenty Hongyi cannons.
"Several generals, they came on time today. Please gather the troops of our headquarters and go to the main campus. In addition to distributing some military supplies, there is also a military ordering ceremony today. We need to kill some bandits and help our Ming Dynasty.
The officers and soldiers are strong." Liu Yuanbin greeted them kindly and asked them to take the people to the large school field at the pass to order troops.
There is a military ceremony? Bai Guangen and others are a little confused, but just order troops. I guess Liu Yuanbin and Cao Ruohai want to show off their military exploits and show how capable they are in fighting.
What's the use of being able to fight? In today's Ming Dynasty, if you can fight, it means you have to go to the battlefield more often. The soldiers are fierce and powerful, but you will have a hard time. A few people secretly slandered Liu Yuanbin and the others in their hearts.
When we arrived at the main campus, two groups of new troops stood on both sides. They said they wanted to give up the center position to three groups of guest troops. These young men also knew some etiquette! After they took their troops and stood behind the center position, the new army's
The messenger came over and asked the three generals to sit on the main stage and watch the ceremony.
This is just the right treatment. We can't watch you boasting on stage from the bottom of the stage. The three thieves didn't do what they wanted and went straight to the main stage.
