Chapter 1085: Man dies for money

Lihaiwei was renamed Jinhuawei, and the station was transferred from Lihai Town, Shaoxing Prefecture to defend Jinhua Mansion, with the same number of personnel, 20,000 people, and two battalions under it to defend the Qing army in Taizhou Prefecture.

Jinshanwei was renamed Wusongwei, transferred to Wusong New Town in the north, expanded to 20,000 people, and served as the garrison of the new city.

Yanzhou Wei was renamed as Chuzhou Wei, and the station was transferred from Yanzhou Mansion to the state capital, and the number of personnel remained unchanged, which was 10,000 people, to defend the Qing army in Wenzhou Prefecture.

Jingjiangwei and Taizhouwei were merged, and the number of personnel remained unchanged at 10,000, but the reserve force had reached 20,000, and its function was to defend against the Qing army in the west and north of Yangzhou.

The name of Ningbo Wei remained unchanged, and the number of posts was expanded to 20,000 people, and Jinhuawei formed a flanking attack on the Qing army in Taizhou, that is to say, at this time, the only two prefectures in Zhejiang that were not in the hands of Wu Zheng were tightly surrounded by Jinhua, Ningbo, and Chuzhou Sanwei, and their only way out was to connect with the Qing army in Fujian.

Li Guo, Gao Yigong, and Liu Tiren's Guangxinwei remained unchanged, and the number of personnel was expanded to 30,000 to defend against the invasion of Qing troops from Jiangxi and Fujian. This expansion made Li Guo and Gao Yigong, who were originally afraid that the Zhongzhen Camp would be annexed by Wu Zheng, and Gao Yigong, who were worried about it, and also relieved Mrs. Zhongyi.

This reorganization shows that the strategic goal of the General's Mansion in the next three years has shifted from the Northern Expedition to the fortification, and there is a hint of the intention of attacking the west and south, which is very inducing.

At the same time, according to this blueprint for army expansion, the regular army under the command of the General's Mansion will reach 180,000.

Of course, to complete this blueprint, the amount of money needed to invest is also huge, the number of troops has almost doubled, although there are more places in Jiangxi and two provinces in Jiangbei, but after all, they have just recovered this year, and the benefits of taxation will basically need to be shown next year.

Therefore, Wu Zheng is facing the situation of waiting for money with his fingers.

This is not something that can be solved by the Qing court's three million ransom money and Chen Yinwen's three million taels of deposit.

……。

The Mo family has six sons.

There are two rooms and four rooms.

The eldest son Mo Chenbo, the second son Mo Chenwen, the third son Mo Chenyue, the fourth son Mo Chenli, the fifth son Mo Chenxiu, and the sixth son Mo Chendao.

Mo Zhinian is a scholar, although he has no intention of pursuing a career in office, and only focuses on carrying forward the Mo family's industry, but the family heritage can be described as deep-rooted.

From the name of the child, it can be seen that the name of the six sons is taken from the allusion of the Analects, the so-called "Bowen, Covenant, and Cultivation".

Perhaps because of the relationship with Shen Wansan of the previous dynasty, the wealth of the Mo family, land, real estate, shops, and connections, even if Mo obsessively followed Wu Zheng in the past few years, Wu Zheng has not seen his full leopard.

But at this time, in the deep house of the Mo family, the Mo family was holding a family meeting.

Mo Zhinian sits on the left side of the main hall, the second concubine sits on the left and right sides, and the four concubines stand on the left and right sides, which can be described as a deep and strict family rule.

Mo Chenbo took an account book and said: "Father, in the past four years, the Mo family has filled more than 18.72 million taels of silver for King Wu, donated 2.6 million stones of grain, and donated more than 3,200 hectares of land...... Today, Wu Qianhu has become His Royal Highness King Wu of the current dynasty, but his father is still only the financial secretary under the General's Mansion, and he can't even get a serious official product...... The most painful thing for the child is that Qing'er has no real name with him, and his life has been delayed for four years, and now Qing'er is eighteen, and if it drags on, I am afraid that the whole Jiangnan will laugh at me and have no one in the Mo family! ”

Mo Chenbo's words attracted the echo of the other five brothers.

The second son, Mo Chenwen, said: "Although my father and His Royal Highness had an agreement in advance, I didn't say that Qing'er couldn't marry into the palace, but only said that Mo's son couldn't be established as a son...... Dad, now that His Royal Highness has full wings, he can be described as powerful, and he can establish himself as the emperor at any time, if the Mo family does not occupy a place in it, I am afraid that not only will it make people laugh, but perhaps the Mo family's investment in the past four years will be wasted...... Hope Daddy thinks twice. ”

Mo Zhinian squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "You six brothers...... That's what you think? ”

The Mo brothers nodded one after another.

"And what do you mean?" Mo Zhinian said lightly.

The Mo brothers glanced at each other and did not answer.

"Since they all mean the same thing, I think it's been discussed, there must be an effective method, right?" Mo Zhi's expression did not move, "Let's talk about it, you don't have to hide it." ”

Mo Chenbo gently put the account book in his hand on a few points, gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "The children have discussed, please ask your father to reconsider the inheritance of the family business...... The children hope that their father will choose one of our six brothers to inherit the Mo family's family business. ”

Mo Zhinian's eyes flashed, "Qing'er is your own flesh and blood?!" ”

Mo Chenbo's neck stiffened, and he looked directly at Mo Zhi and said: "Back to my father's words, Qing'er is a child's flesh and blood, but after all, she is a woman, a girl is outgoing, since she has been promised by her father to His Royal Highness, it is the Wu family...... Does my father want to give up the Mo family's property to His Royal Highness after a hundred years? The child is also planning for the Mo family's business, and for the Mo family's ancestors, please think twice! ”

Mo was obsessed with moving, he opened his eyes wide, and glanced at his six sons, once, twice, three times, .......

He wanted to speak and stopped, these six sons were too unsuccessful, and when he went to Yingtianfu on the order of Wu Zheng, he did such a big rebellious thing behind his back.

Don't be obsessed with having the heart to take them down and send them to justice, but you really can't do it, after all, they are your own flesh and blood.

If one or two are also ruthless, but all six participate, how can Mo Zhinian be ruthless?

The so-called tiger poison does not eat children, don't be obsessed with resentment, you can only hold it in your chest.

At first, the six sons dared to look at their father, and slowly, one by one, lowered their eyelids.

Mo Zhinian sighed lightly: "I gave birth to six sons, but none of them can be used as a heavy responsibility, and your six brothers, except for Chen Bo, all have children, but none of them can be of great use...... The Mo family is unfortunate! Finally blessed by the ancestors, the eldest granddaughter Qing'er has been smart since she was a child, and she is known for taking care of money, and she can inherit the Mo family's business. ”

Mo Chenbo hurriedly said: "If Qing'er is a man, the child will naturally have no objections, but she is a woman's ......." ”

"What's wrong with the woman?" Mo Zhiyi's eyes glared, and Mo Chenbo's half of the sentence was swallowed back in fright.

Mo obsessively glanced around and said: "You have all been in business for many years, you should understand that business is different from the world of the family and the country, and if the family business is passed on to the mediocre, you will not be rich for two or three generations." But if it is passed on to the virtuous, it can be more prosperous through its hands. On the occasion of a change of day, four years ago, did you think that a great general's mansion with only one place could lay such a huge foundation, tens of thousands of students from the three major academies, a military workshop within a radius of 100 miles, a dock and port that could build warships far larger than the Fu ships of the previous dynasty, and a firearms ...... that could defeat the Qing army. ”
