The chaos of the logistics of the Ming Dynasty army made Qian Yuan really unbearable, and this aspect was largely due to Zhu Yuanzhang, the lowest-born founding emperor in history, who never had the idea of a game of chess in the whole country in terms of finance, and often talked about things and took the fastest solution to the current problem as the first choice.

Something similar happened in the local government's office, but the government's strong self-healing ability was able to make some minor corrections, such as the position of governor was temporarily established in the early years, but by the middle and late Ming Dynasty, it became a de facto feudal official.

Zhang Jingzai, who has the governor's military affairs, and Li Tianzhong, the current governor of Zhejiang, is mainly responsible for two things, one is to ensure logistics supply, and the other is to exterminate the Japanese in Zhejiang, to be precise, around Hangzhou.

Therefore, without Li Tianzhong's nod, Zhejiang Province would not be able to squeeze out the silver for Zhao Wenhua, which is also the fundamental reason why the latter is indignant and keeps barking at the former.

The government below naturally has silver, but without Li Tianzhong's permission, who would dare to mobilize silver in large quantities to recruit troops?

Of course, Zhao Wenhua has the ability and the guts, but it just depends on the ...... It's not worth it.

Therefore, Qian Yuan's idea is really poisonous, this is to incite Zhao Wenhua to bite Li Tianpet......

Zhao Wenhua repeatedly calculated in his heart, Qian Yuan's advice was unreliable, could Lu Bin take on the heavy responsibility, and which Fuzhou to target......

Hu Zongxian and Qian Yuan chatted together, both of them are pragmatists, and they both have a strong spirit of hard work.

Qian Yuan was self-made in his previous life when he went to the sea to do business, and he knew these things well.

And one of the things that Hu Zongxian did most as the prefect of Hangzhou was to provide supplies to the surrounding officers and soldiers, and many ideas coincided with Qian Yuan.

Hu Zongxian is silent and solemn on weekdays, but when it comes to government affairs, he talks endlessly, and his mouth is like a river.

If you want to talk about Hu Zongxian's hard life during this time, you must know that the imperial court ordered Zhang Jing to serve as the governor of Zhejiang, and to supervise the soldiers and horses of Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Zhejiang, Shandong, Fujian, and Huguang provinces, and act cheaply, but there is no mention of supply.

After all, the governor of Zhejiang is the first term, and many things need time to run in, in this case, as soon as the soldiers come out, the local government and the guard will not be ignored, and all the governments of Zhejiang, Suzhou, and Songjiang will be in charge, to be precise, the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Yingtian.

Therefore, the supply of officers and soldiers and guest soldiers around Hangzhou Mansion, and even Jiaxing Mansion, which had been severely injured in the Japanese rebellion before, was responsible for the governor Yamen.

But as soon as Li Tianpet turned around, he threw the responsibility on Hu Zongxian's head, during this time his tired hair turned a lot gray, and when he woke up in the middle of the night, the squeaky sound in the house was the sound of grinding teeth, and he wanted to bite Li Tianpet to death.

"At present, there are two biggest problems, one is the poor supply of troops, and the other is the lack of supply." Qian Yuan carefully analyzed: "Even if the guest soldiers win for a while, it is difficult to stay in Haijiang for a long time, and they come from afar, and the consumption is very great. ”

"The second is that the supply is not effective, as far as the younger generation can see, under the command of Yu Dayou, Lu Bo and others, the officers and soldiers directly under them are barely passable, but the rest are ...... The military discipline was sloppy, and the soldiers and the Japanese soldiers broke up after a short encounter, which was not only because they were not bloody, but also because of the poor supply. ”

Zhao Wenhua woke up from his contemplation, frowned and asked, "Zhancai, talk about it carefully." ”

"As far as the avant-garde soldiers in Hangzhou are concerned, they all don't farm land, they don't have any fields to plant, they all make a living by doing business and selling goods, and they earn enough silver to support their families." Qian Yuan sighed: "Now that the Governor Yamen has ordered the training of soldiers, these soldiers are confined in the barracks, their families are helpless, their salaries are extremely meager, and they are not enough to ...... alone."

Hu Zongxian said quietly: "In the final analysis, there is still a shortage of silver......

"yes, to put it simply." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "The first battle of Chongde, the bloody battle at the head of the city, the soldiers gradually lost their support, the townsmen hesitated and refused to step forward, and the juniors ordered to kill a widow, and the head can be exchanged for thirty taels ......of silver, which will be cashed out immediately."

"The result?" Zhao Wenhua's eyes widened.

"As ......a result," Qian Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, "and finally seven or eight villagers made a pot of porridge in the city...... Grab the head of the widow on the ground. ”

"Money can be channeled...... Zhao Wenhua sighed: "You can be able to communicate with God, what is it to kill a widow!" ”

"Money can make ghosts grind, this sentence is placed in Zhejiang...... Money can make grinding ghosts. Qian Yuan smiled, recalling the historical materials he had read in his previous life, it seemed that although the Qi family army could fight, it was also quite able to spend money.

"In this way, you can try it......" Zhao Wenhua said in a low voice: "There are more than a thousand people, five hundred, let Lu Bin do it." ”

"Okay, juniors will write a letter tonight." Qian Yuan nodded quietly.

The three of them chatted for a while, and suddenly Yang Wen hurried over.

Qian Yuan frowned and walked out of the pavilion, "What's wrong?" ”

"The Japanese invaded ashore in many places along the coast of Zhejiang, and Li Zhongcheng, who was patrolling Shaoxing, was besieged." Yang Wen said in a low voice: "If you want to go back to Songjiang, it's best to leave today." ”

"Okay." Qian Yuan walked back quickly, and said it briefly.

Zhao Wenhua smiled gloatingly, "Know what he is doing in Shaoxing?" Haha, it's to meet Ji Quangong. ”

Qian Yuan and Hu Zongxian were silent, Zhao Wenhua restrained his smile and patted Qian Yuan's shoulder, "Reluctantly, next year's township test, the spring of the year after tomorrow." ”

Qian Yuan sent the two out of the house, hesitated for a while and pulled Hu Zongxian's sleeve, "Hu Zhizhou, lead the avant-garde guerrilla Qi Jiguang in Hangzhou and the younger generation to bring their relatives to the ......"

Hu Zongxian glanced at Zhao Wenhua, who was walking in front, and nodded slightly.

Out of the house, Zhao Wenhua turned around with a smile and asked, "What did Qian Jiazi say?" ”

Hu Zongxian's face did not change, and he bowed his head respectfully and said: "The food garden is exquisite, and it is inevitable that people will covet it." ”

"That's right, I'm envious." Zhao Wenhua looked back at it, "It is said that he snatched it last year......"

"That's true." Hu Zongxian had already heard about this matter clearly, "The mind is deep, the means are ruthless, and the eyes will be repaid." ”

"And well-connected." Zhao Wenhua sighed, "You are responsible for recruiting soldiers, let Lu Bin go to Yanzhou Mansion or Chuzhou Mansion to recruit troops, silver two...... If the local government refuses, you will pay one or two for the time being...... Look how I clean up Zhang Tingyi! ”

Hu Zongxian nodded yes, but he was very surprised in his heart, it seemed that Zhao Wenhua was very confident in cleaning up Zhang Jing......

Sending Zhao Wenhua back to his residence, Hu Zongxian hesitated to ask when he said goodbye: "Mei Cun Gong, have you heard of the compilation law?" ”

Zhao Wenhua's body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head, "Add faction?" ”

"Yes, the difference between silver and strength is arranged into ten first, and if one is insufficient, the next one will be added to make up for it, so it is called a promotion." Hu Zongxian gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Only this method can gather a large amount of silver taels in a short period of time to replenish military funds. ”

Zhao Wenhua paced back and forth in the courtyard for a few laps, hesitating, mentioning the method is indeed a way, but he is afraid that he will be impeached.

The reason is very simple, the so-called promotion method is to add factions, which disrupts the characteristics of the original rotation order of each first-class, and under the premise of lack of military funds, the shortage of first-class soldiers will definitely become the norm.

Zhao Wenhua is a cadre of the Yan Party or Yan Song's godson, his status is not low, but this kind of thing is ...... Even if Yan Song covered the sky with one hand, most of the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were stunned.

Hu Zongxian took a few steps closer and asked softly tentatively, "Why don't you ...... Penetrating to the governor's yamen? ”

Zhao Wenhua's eyes lit up, and he nodded slightly, "Do it cleanly." ”

Hu Zongxian bowed and withdrew, feeling in his heart that this godson who really deserved to be strict and appropriate, carved out of a mold, wanted to take credit but refused to take responsibility.

However, Hu Zongxian didn't care, he knew too well what the consequences of the compilation law would be, and this was not just a simple increase.

Let Li Tianpet carry the black pot in front, once something happens, with Zhao Wenhua's strong recommendation, it may not be impossible for him to ascend to the sky in one step.

The ambitious Hu Zongxian thought so, a little excited, a little frustrated, and his mood gradually declined.

But after a moment, he held his head high.
