"It turned out to be Jiaozi!"

Wen Yanbo muttered quietly.

Su Xun saw Wen Yanbo standing outside the crowd for a long time, and hurriedly got up and walked over and said with a smile: "If the third envoy has any questions, just ask, the lower officials know everything, and they have no end to it." ”

"240,000 such a huge amount of money, can those businessmen really come up with it?"

Now that he has served as the third envoy, Wen Yanbo has a clear understanding of the Great Song Dynasty's finances and the world's treasury, and this money is almost comparable to the wealth of Shuzhong for half a year, including salt and iron taxes, wine taxes, tea and horse taxes, agricultural taxes, and commercial taxes, and the sum of commercial taxes is absolutely impossible for eleven merchants to afford.

Su Xun smiled but did not answer, and invited Wen Yanbo to his tent to talk.

The servant gave a pot of tea, then bowed down and retreated, Su Xun personally poured tea for Wen Yanbo and then said: "Eleven merchants, in fact, are eleven groups, no less than 6,000 merchants in Shuzhong, basically all of them are in these eleven groups, 240,000 are scattered to more than 6,000 merchants, each is only 40 yuan, after explaining it like this, do the three envoys still think that 240,000 yuan is a lot of money?"

Don't think that these businessmen have really been united, they have only united once, and it is for this southern expedition that they have given up their previous suspicions and come together.

The money they pay according to the shares, in fact, is a kind of commercial behavior, these money is actually the purchase of money, you also see the endless stream of packs in the barracks, the merchants will be transported to the Liuzhou waterway day and night, it has been more than half a month, and now it is only three percent away.

Long before the army was dispatched, the general had a contract with the merchants, that is, once the city of Thang Long was captured, the treasury of Jiaozhi, the royal treasury, and the things in the official treasury would be returned to the Wusheng army, because the Great Song Dynasty needed these dividends.

And the rest of the goods, Wu Shengjun didn't care, and he didn't take it. It was the goods that the merchants themselves had brought back from Thang Long City, so Wu Shengjun was not allowed to touch them, and now, this contract has been successfully completed. It was time for the merchants to start paying for the purchase. ”

Wen Yanbo's hand holding the teacup trembled, and he quickly regained his composure, took a sip of fragrant tea and praised: "I heard that Jasmine is now planted all over Guangnan, and it has something to do with this cup of Chinese tea?" ”

Su Xun said with a smile: "That's right, it's those businessmen who have nothing to do in the days waiting for the troops to find that Guangnan is the most suitable for planting jasmine, so there is this mention, Guangnan pacification envoy also strongly recommended, businessmen and the people who have just settled down have signed a contract to buy jasmine, and also paid a part of the money and grain in advance." ”

"As far as this official knows, most of them came empty-handed, so how can they get so much money and food?"

"Shang Jia had already advanced a large amount of money and grain when Wusheng's army left Sichuan. Do the three envoys think that without Shangjia, my Wusheng army can go out of Sichuan quickly and with such complete equipment? If so, you look up to the Wusheng army, we also need the support of money and food, if there is no money and food. It's hard to say whether Wu Shengjun can go out of Sichuan now, you know the food and salary given by the imperial court to the Xiang army, you don't need to say more, right?

Since Wu Shengjun used the money and grain of the merchants, of course, he needs to compensate according to the market price, and the source is the seizure that Wu Shengjun obtained from Nong Zhigao, so there is no need to hide it from anyone as a member of the army. ”

After listening to Su Xun's explanation, Wen Yanbo set off a storm in his heart, six thousand businessmen! Once these people are brought together, they can support a large army to the south. And they are so well prepared, the equipment, clothing and food in the Wusheng army are far inferior to even the forbidden army in Tokyo, but the military affairs are sinister, why do these businessmen believe that Yun Zheng will definitely be able to complete the feat of sneaking attack on Shenglong Mansion. Why would you place a bet of two or three hundred thousand yuan?

Su Xun lowered his head and didn't look at the change in the expression on Wen Yanbo's face, and whispered: "Wu Shengjun has left too deep an impression on Shuzhong businessmen, now the Great Song Dynasty is tired, business is difficult to do, if there is no big change, it is difficult to have a chance to get rich overnight."

And Wu Shengjun provided such an opportunity for businessmen. The predecessor of the Wusheng Army, the Jiazi Battalion, will win countless as long as it goes on the expedition, and the later Wusheng Army can rely on its own strength to pacify all the bandits in Shu, and the general is a legendary figure, who has seen the world, and can come back safe and sound from the clutches of the Western Xia people, and stir up the country to the cold of Zhou Tian.

It is not strange for such a person to lead an army like Wu Shengjun to do anything, you may not know that Wu Shengjun has a very good reputation among the people of Shuzhong, so since the merchant can't find a good business to do, he might as well take out some of his money to take an adventure, and it turns out that their adventure is very successful.

The wealth of Thang Long City is famous in the southern continent, and now it has almost been emptied by those merchants, you can guess how much their income will be, in fact, this time it is actually the merchants who benefit, and the benefits they have obtained are no less than the treasury of the Jiaozhi Palace looted back by the Wusheng army. ”

"Why didn't you report this matter to the household department earlier? If ......"

Wen Yanbo originally wanted to say that if the household department made such an investment, the financial crisis of the Great Song Dynasty had been lifted at this time, and halfway through the speech, he realized that the Great Song household department would not have made such an investment at all.

Wen Yanbo, who was stunned, had no intention of listening to Su Xun tell him about the rules of Wu Shengjun's money, and the general of the Xiang army had great autonomy, and he couldn't point fingers at it.

After walking out of Su Xun's military tent, he looked at the soldiers of the Wusheng Army at sunset, and found that these people were extremely unfamiliar, and the world here was fundamentally different from the world he knew.

After the other soldiers received the money, they went to do their own thing, and the wounded soldiers who were lame, or still wrapped in white veils, did not show the kind of despair they were used to, but told jokes in twos and threes, the one-eyed dragon laughed at the lame, and scolded the one with one arm with a smile and scolded only one leg, it seems that they are not worried about their future livelihood, in the Great Song Dynasty, rich is the uncle, now, those wounded soldiers are rich people, a rich man with fifty or sixty yuan in his hand buys a small family's boy, It's nothing for a girl to come and serve herself, and the servants who are better in the hands of the human tooth are less than ten dollars each......

There is also a place full of porcelain jars in the barracks, which is the place where Yun Zheng goes most often, and today everyone is receiving money, and Yun Zheng himself once again came to this place full of ashes of soldiers who died in battle and cursed.

"It's all a bunch of bastards, and I've long told you that you usually sweat more, and you will bleed less when you fight, and now it's over, right? Everyone else is happily taking money, but you are lying here coldly, it's fun?

Knowing that Lao Tzu is most afraid of suing your parents, wives and children for the news that you died in battle, this is good, Lao Tzu has to write nearly 3,000 death documents, and a person dies for 14 yuan and 120 catties, this is Lao Tzu spending money to buy your meat, damn it, it is much more expensive than pork. ”

Yun Zheng sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at the nearly three thousand porcelain jars in front of him worriedly, his eyes were a little moist, whether he had feelings with these soldiers or not, this person also went to the battlefield one after another under his own orders.

"Disobedient, if you practice your martial arts a little more skillfully, and train the military formation to be more proficient, you won't lose your life anyway, to be honest, Lao Tzu has thought about a possibility countless times in his dreams, that is, to take all of you to the battlefield, and then bring all of you home safely, even if you pay more money and food, I am also willing."

Dog, sooner or later you will become my demons, I don't care about a lot of things, but I can't care about you, if you live, after a while I will forget about you, I am a very forgetful person, I can't remember so many indifferent people, now that you are dead, but it is fixed in my mind, and I can't get rid of it.

Forget it if you die, I will hand over your money and food to your parents, wives and children, and there will be no less, if it is a single, then it will be cheap for me, I will burn paper for you during the New Year's holidays, if there is no blood food in the underworld, remember to give me a dream, I will burn it for you, the blood food of the Wenxin Marquis Mansion, it is cheap for you......"

Xiaolin walked over with one limp leg, sat on the ground with Yun Zheng, took a sip of the wine in the gourd, and stuffed the gourd to Yun Zheng.

Xiaolin had endured Yun Zheng's love for clean stinky problems for a long time, and he snatched the wine gourd with his hand and covered it with a stopper, not planning to give it to Yun Zheng to drink anymore.

"What are you going to do? Do you want to be a Taoist priest? You already have a daughter, can you live a good life, one of you two is a Taoist priest, the other is an old bustard, they are not good people, don't go to my Wenxin Marquis Mansion in the future, it's a shame to be seen! ”

Xiaolin lay on the ground indifferently and put his hand on the back of his head as a pillow, looked at the clouds in the sky and smiled: "Am I still vulgar, Hua Niang is not an old bustard, and I can board the gate of your Hou Mansion?" ”

"This is natural, I am no longer the poor boy I was back then, but the marquis of the third grade of the official residence, of course my friend has to keep pace with the times, in other words, according to your merits this time, and the relationship between you and the emperor is not clear, it is not a problem to get a viscount or earl, right?

I plan to work hard to have children after I go back, give birth to a son and marry your daughter, the son of the Hou Ye must at least marry the daughter of an earl's family, this is called a good family, if it is the daughter of the wild Taoist priest and the old bustard, then forget it, not enough to shame money. ”

Yun Zheng's words in front of Xiaolin should be a fart, but when he heard the words about his daughter in the back, he sat up with a grunt, looked at Yun Zheng and said, "Is this true?" ”

"Of course it counts, as long as I give birth to a son, this family business counts, don't blame me if I can't give birth, this is not something I can control, and it is not a problem that I can solve if I am smarter."

Xiaolin stroked his messy beard and asked, "If I give birth to a son, can you marry your daughter to my son?" ”

Yun Zheng's eyes widened and said, "I'm my daughter!" ”

Xiaolin was furious and said: "Lao Tzu is also a daughter!" ”
