Chapter 146: Stacked Out
For a while, the atmosphere of the Guizhou government was solemn, and there was a scene where everyone did their best and died. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Many times in the middle of the night, the front office is still brightly lit.
You must know that since Zhou Yan went to Yongzhou, the city of Guizhou has gradually slackened. Now that Mrs. Zhao is doing this, the operation of Guangnan's grain and straw is three points faster than usual.
In the face of the rich family, Mrs. Zhao changed another way.
She first asked those ladies one by one where the fields, shops, and mountains were, and which one produced the richest, and then counted them how much the shops and land prices in Guangzhou were, how much the shops and land prices in Tanzhou, and how much silver taels would cost to place an industry of the same scale as Guangnan West Road over there.
Then she asked the ladies about the income of the fields, the harvest of the perennial years, the number of good years, and the years of drought and flood.
Waiting for everyone to answer one by one, she told the data of the state cities that had been invaded and occupied by the enemy countries in the past and later recovered by the enemy countries, and listened to those ladies, whenever the enemy country was captured, often the land of the year would be abandoned, and the next year would be recovered, and it would be re-measured, and the original owner of the land needed to take the title deed and check with the government, and when things returned to the original state, the original owner would lose three or four years of income.
In fact, everyone knows these truths, and even if you don't know the numbers back then, even if you don't know the numbers, you are now a good hand. It's just that I feel that life is more important than money.
As if she knew what they were thinking, Mrs. Zhao told the current garrison strength of Guizhou one by one, and said that she had asked the court to use the soldiers from Tanzhou and Guangzhou to come to the rescue.
can be a big family, naturally hands and eyes are open to the sky, these information, in fact, they have been found a long time ago, but now that Mrs. Zhao said it so calmly and steadily, everyone felt that it seemed that Jiaozhi was not so terrible.
Old Madam Zhao frankly admitted that although there were many guards in Guizhou City, there were not many, and it would be great if everyone here could help.
Unlike other places, the practice of wealthy households in Guangnan raising private soldiers was very strong, and the imperial court repeatedly banned them, so they simply let it go.
As soon as the ladies went home and told their husbands, everyone was still beating drums in their hearts, and the government office put up a list to organize the people's guards in the city, and encouraged the domestic servants and guards to participate.
The rest of the list is okay, but the one that can be exempted from taxes is really money!
The rich landlords' abacus crackled, and they felt that it was more beneficial to stay in Guizhou than to move away, and everyone made up their minds.
With a person who came out, he sent 80 guards from his family to respond to the call of the government, and sure enough, he got a commendation order, and he got a part of the tax exemption form with the big red seal, and everyone responded for a while, but in more than ten days, there were 4,000 brave men in Guizhou City, more than 1,000 more than the original defenders.
was troubled by these two vigorous things, and the news of Zhang Qian's collaboration with the enemy was suppressed, although it was still mentioned by chance, but it had long been unable to make a splash.
Zhou Qin helped Mrs. Zhao plan all this, and admired her grandmother's old spicy so much.
Mrs. Zhao only paid a place in the White Horse Academy, and with some small gifts, she gathered the officials of the Guizhou Mansion, so that everyone could work together and turn their efforts to errands and no longer pay attention to other things.
On the rich side, only part of the taxes were exempted, and the rich families were escorted by more than 4,000 brave guards. You must know that the escort team participating in Guizhou City has to pay for its own food!
The little tax that was exempted from the government was nothing more than a generous gesture to others, and the money of the rich was spent on their subordinates. The rich family raised this group of guards, and the guards patrolled Guizhou City, if it really attacked, it would be better to start running in and training now, than to gather together in a hurry when the time comes.
Zhou Qin thought that the officials in charge of collecting taxes in the Guizhou Mansion had counted the amount of taxes exempted from the big households this time, and the surveyors in charge of calculating the army's grain and straw had counted the amount of daily water and allowances saved by these guards.
It means that the Guizhou Mansion basically didn't pay any money, so there were thousands of soldiers guarding the city in vain.
Only then did Zhou Qin slowly have the realization that he was leaning on the treasure mine.
She couldn't help but say to Old Madam Zhao: "Grandmother, I think it's too condescending for you to nest in the mansion every day...... If you go into battle to lead the army and do a military transfer, whether you stay in the city or are in charge of logistics, you will not be worse than those famous generals! ”
Old Mrs. Zhao smiled hehe, and said a little abruptly: "Women have never been allowed to have eyebrows, in those years, how many powerful women have been produced in my generation, but unfortunately the scenery is all for my father, brother and husband...... No matter how well you do, it's just the word 'virtuous help'......"
The two chatted for a while, and suddenly heard a report that He Yaqing was coming.
Since that day, He Yaqing first returned to the Guizhou Mansion to report the news, and set up cards in various places to arrest the monks and Taoists holding the Du Mu, and sure enough, he found many spies.
He had to make a meritorious service, but he didn't have any errands at the moment, so he was casually given a name by the government to help manage the escort team composed of more than 4,000 private soldiers of wealthy families in the city.
He Yaqing should have just finished running an errand outside, sweating, seeing the two of them, first saluted, and then said excitedly: "Old lady, sister of the Zhou family, today I received a letter from my father, he agreed that I should stay in Guizhou first!" ”
As he spoke, he handed over the letter.
Zhou Qin opened the letter, which was originally written to He Yaqing, and it began with a scolding, saying that he acted recklessly and had no sense of proportion, and scolded for three pages.
He Yaqing saw that her face was strange, so she suddenly realized, hurriedly pulled the letter back, and said with a red face: "I took the wrong one, it's this one!" After finishing speaking, he turned the last page out and handed it to Zhou Qin again.
It's a pity that Zhou Qin has practiced the kung fu of one glance and ten lines since he was a child, and he has already read most of the letters.
He Shangshu is worthy of being born in the two lists, and there is no repetition of the words of scolding his son, and he writes it so brilliantly, but in the end he still compromised, saying that he should let He Yaqing do a good job in Guizhou to protect the country and Zhou Yan, let him do whatever he wants, don't make trouble, and don't make his own opinions.
Not long after, a girl came from outside, saying that it was a letter from He Fu in the capital to Mrs. Zhao.
This letter is for Mrs. Zhao.
The letter said that he didn't control his son and asked him to make trouble for the Protector Mansion, but now that he is already in Guangnan, if he returns to the capital at this time, it will inevitably be easy for people to discuss, so he simply let him experience in Guizhou, please use it as you like.
The letter also wrote about some major events that have taken place in Beijing in recent days.
