Following.

Since the Qianqing Palace held a mourning spirit, Jia Qiang went to Dongshi.

Along the way, all streets, squares, and alleys have the shadow of the Terracotta Division everywhere.

Hundreds of people, scholars, and merchants watched as the soldiers and horses carrying burdens, sacks or carts were cleaning up the garbage piled up on the side of the street, in the city, and at the mouth of the alley, and even the sewage in the stinky ditch that had accumulated was pulled away by a water truck and then filled with loess.

The previous accumulation of the Soldiers and Horses Division was less than 3,000 people in total, plus more than 2,000 people who had been transfused from the Jinsha Gang in recent days, a total of less than 5,000 people, spread throughout the entire Dongcheng, and they were still overstretched.

Gao Long, who accompanied him, was covered with stains and stench, and even he went down to do things in person, Gao Long said to Jia Qiang: "Master Hou, the main thing is that there is still a shortage of manpower!" It's so bad! Look, do you want to recruit some more? ”

Jia Qiang waved his hand and said, "If you move again, you will pass the line...... In this way, the Terracotta Division was only responsible for the garbage and sewage at the mouth of the main street, the entrance of the people's square and the mouth of the alley, and the pile of tattered and stubborn people piled up at the door of the people in front of him knocked directly on the door and ordered his house to be cleaned up immediately. There will be a next time, and a fine of 200 will be fined. And over there, the restaurant poured some residues directly on the street, this time forget it, it has already helped them clean up, and next time let them clean up, they will be fined five taels of silver. Again, ten taels!

With the strength of the Terracotta Division alone, it is impossible to keep Dongcheng clean forever. No matter how diligent we are, we can't stand what they have made. ”

Hu Xiaqi, who was beside Gao Long, said: "Isn't Master Hou going to collect the merchant's health silver?" Why don't you let people fall? ”

If people don't fall, why should they pay money?

Jia Qiang glanced at him and scolded: "Brainless! When we open a restaurant here, did we dredge the street in front of the door? We are responsible for the cleaning of the main street.

After a few days, the Terracotta Division sought out some people in difficulty from the people, such as the lonely elderly, and the vulnerable people who had sick people at home to make a living, and asked them to clean the main street every day to ensure that the street was clean and clean, and pay them some silver money every month, so that they could at least have an income to support and chew.

This is a matter that is beneficial to all merchants, and it is also a matter that is beneficial to the people. In addition to the sanitary silver, there will be fireproof silver in the future, and it will be ...... slowly"

Hu Xia admired the five-body throw to the ground, and said: "Master Hou, you are worthy of the name of the golden boy of good money, and you have a big reason to get money, which is really amazing!" ”

"Get out of the way!"

After Gao Long scolded and left, he said to Jia Qiang: "I'm afraid it may not be easy to collect." ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "So, I will come in person today to receive the first order!" Let's start here! ”

Gao Long and Hu Xia looked up and saw the words "Ruixiang......

……

"Song Dongjia, don't come unharmed."

Entering the tall gatehouse of the Ruixiang, ignoring the strange eyes of the welcoming guys, Jia Qiang stepped in, and saw Song Zhe's face full of shrewdness in the past, but now it is much more gloomy.

However, seeing Jia Qiang enter the door, Song Zhe still stood up, squeezed out a smile and greeted him: "Ning Hou is here, and his name is shining!" I don't know what Ning Hou is here for? ”

Jia Qiang always felt that when he said this, Song Zhe gritted his teeth and said it.

and did not give up his seat, nor did he pour tea, which shows the hatred in his heart.

Jia Qiang didn't care, smiled, looked around, saw the tall brocade silk on the container, "tsk", and said, "Come here today, for a private and a public." Private matter, naturally just come to see, did Ruixiang dye the cloud brocade? Ruixiang's family has a big business and a profound heritage, if you can improve the recipe, please be sure to tell Ben Hou, so that Ben Hou will also be stained. ”

Hearing this, Song Zhe almost vomited blood, and said with a dark face: "Definitely, definitely." I don't know, business, what's the matter? ”

Jia Qiang looked at him and laughed, making Song Zhe want to smash his face with a punch, so he saw Jia Qiang pointing outside and said, "Can the Song Dongjia see the movement of the Soldiers and Horses in the past few days?" ”

Song Zhe suppressed the disgust and impatience in his heart, and said: "See, Ning Hou is so generous, he is worthy of being the commander of the Soldiers and Horses!" ”

This is with a mocking tone, Song Zhe, who was born in a family of scholars, although he is engaged in business, he still has the innocence of scholars in his heart.

He looks down on ordinary regular warriors, let alone a group of soldiers and horses who sweep the garbage on the streets?

For hundreds of years, the Terracotta Division was the lowest level in the army, and was not even recognized as a member of the army.

Jia Qiang suddenly didn't hear the meaning of Song Zhe's words, he smiled and said: "I can't talk about how big a hand, it's just in his position and seeking his politics." Every year from winter to spring, there will be a more or less epidemic of the epidemic in the capital, and many people will always die. The more you live in a dirty stain, the more you die. As the commander of the soldiers and horses, Ben Hou is responsible for cleaning up and dredging the streets and markets, how can he stand idly by? Because, even the soldiers and thousands of soldiers and horses completely cleaned up all the dirty and smelly things in Dongcheng! Even the deputy commander of the Terracotta Division personally went down.

Of course, these are all duties, and there is nothing to boast about. It's just that so many people do things together, and the cost is huge. The little military expenditure of the Terracotta Division is not enough. I went to ask the emperor for it, but the emperor said that he didn't have a penny, and said that since I can be this official, I have the ability to make military expenses in an upright manner. If you can't get it, don't be this official as soon as possible, and go home to coax the girl.

Ben Hou felt that the emperor's words were really holy! No, Ben Hou is here? ”

When Song Zhe heard this, he said with a smile on his face: "Ning Hou, is this a fate?" ”

At the mention of the word "Huayuan", Song Zhe's heart was dripping blood.

In just a few days, the Song family spent more than 1.3 million taels of silver!

The Song family naturally has tens of millions of wealth, but these family businesses are just family businesses, not cash.

Of course, the Ruixiang has a large amount of cash, but the necessary budget can be discarded, and the cash that can really be mobilized at will is not two million taels in total.

Jiangnan giants are different from Tu Lao Cai, Tu Lao Cai likes to save silver winter melons, and the rich people who were born in Southern Province pay more attention to the circulation of wealth.

In their view, the faster the circulation, the more circulation, the more wealth will be bringed.

Therefore, after going to the 1.3 million taels of silver, the spare money of the Ruixiang is not much.

Does this culprit still have the face to turn into a fate? Dream!

But he didn't want to, hearing this, Jia Qiang's eyes instantly turned cold, and he looked at Song Zhe and said indifferently: "Fate? Ben Hou talks about official business, and he is decent in the court, do you think Ben Hou is here to introduce you to a businessman? Song Zhe, the courage of your Song family is bigger than the sky! Also, your Song family dares to use the Queen Mother and Uncle Guo as knives to make money, what else does your Song family dare not do? ”

When Song Zhe heard this, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly denied it: "Ning Hou, although I respect your identity, but Ning Hou should not talk about it!" When did the Song family use the Queen Mother and Uncle Guo as swords? It's Ning Hou, who has far-reaching plans......"

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Keep talking, why don't you keep talking?" ”

Song Zhe swallowed his saliva, looked at the so many soldiers and horses gathered at the door, Ding Yong, where did he dare to continue.

Jia Qiang shook her head when she saw it, and said, "The official business that Ben Hou came here is to come to collect the clean silver. Ruixiang is in Beijing, a total of 68 shops, each of which has a monthly health silver of five taels, a total of 340 taels. I am tired of clearing your account, otherwise, the Ruixiang number, which has only been open for a few days, will be closed again. ”

When Song Zhe heard this, his face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "A piece of health silver, it costs more than three hundred taels in a month, and four thousand taels a year, is Ning Hou poor and crazy!" ”

Jia Qiangqi said: "Am I poor? This silver can't fall into Benhou's pocket, although my Jia family is not rich, but it is not so shallow-eyed, I want to see any good things, and I don't even want face for the silver. Four thousand taels a year sounds like a lot, but Ruixiang has a total of 68 shops, and on average, one is only 60 taels of silver a year. With so many customers coming and going, going in and out every day, how much dirt and dirt does it have to produce in the process? Don't sweep and take care of it? Less nonsense! If you are not satisfied, just let Song Tian impeach Ben Hou. It's okay if you don't pay this money, just close the door! ”

After Song Zhe took a deep breath, he nodded and said, "Okay!" Good! It's okay to pay the money, but I dare to ask, is it only Ruixiang to pay, or all merchants to pay? ”

Jia Qiang smiled faintly and said, "With your Song family, it's not enough for Ben Hou to deal with it personally, so naturally you will hand it all over." ”

When Song Zhe heard this, he almost didn't laugh out loud on his face, and under forbearance, his face was strange.

He's never seen someone so good at death!

This young man, did he think that if he cheated the Song family once, he would be invincible?

Don't talk about a mere Jia family, don't say that there is a Lin Ruhai behind him, even if the emperor is standing behind him, even if the emperor is resurrected, he directly declares Jia Qiang to be his illegitimate son......

There's no way to die like this!

In the entire East Market, how many shops and how many time-honored brands are there?

The interests behind it can almost cover the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, clans, and nobles.

In addition, there are Qingliu Shilin, as well as the squires in Jiangnan who are extremely rich, and ......

In short, the top and richest families in the world almost include at least sixty percent.

It's going to cut flesh on them!

Song Zhe didn't even stumble, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Give Ning Hou the silver!" ”

But......

Song Zhe asked the shopkeeper to take the silver, and said, "Since Ning Hou accepts the silver from the public, do you want to make a receipt?" ”

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It should be so." ”

After the shopkeeper of the Ruixiang sent three hundred and forty taels of silver and handed them over to Gao Long, Hu Xia and others, Jia Qiang wrote a receipt, signed and even pressed his handprint.

Then under Song Zhe's even sympathetic gaze, he smiled and walked away to another house.

"Collect clean money, your shop is small, pay according to the lowest grade, three hundred yuan a month is enough."

"Your steamed buns are doing well, how much can you make in a day?"

"Two thousand? The Terracotta Division is all wanted, and it is done every day of the month, which is an advance payment. By the way, you have to pay the silver for sanitation and cleaning, and the shop is small, and 300 wen a month is enough. ”

"Your rice and noodles are bigger, and you have to remember the second grade, three taels of silver a month. However, the rice and noodles in the future of the Terracotta Division will be sent by your family, and the silver will be settled. ”

"Your family strikes iron, and the dirty water is poured on the street when it sees the sky, and it costs three taels of silver a month. However, the Terracotta Division needs a lot of equipment, all of which are made by your family, and the silver is settled. ”

"Your family slaughters pigs and sheep, and your family is the dirtiest in this neighborhood, and it is also recorded in the second gear, three taels in January. However, the Terracotta Division needs a lot of meat and bones, and your family will supply some of the ......."

After this piece of news was sent back to the Ruixiang, Song Zhe only felt a bloody smell gushing out of his throat, but he still gritted his teeth and said with hatred: "How many things can a soldier and horse division use?" Most merchants are still going to be blackmailed. Wait and see how many people impeach him tomorrow! I'll just look at him, how to die! ”

It is also true that in the middle of the afternoon, there were countless impeachment folds with very harsh wording, which flew into the palace like snowflakes and landed on the table at the military aircraft of the Wuying Palace.

It's just strange that after the three military aircraft scholars saw it, they only thought about it silently for a while, and then put it aside and didn't rush to deal with it.

They seem to have something trickier and more serious to deal with......
