Chapter 1419: Windfall and Beauty
Yang Wushuang suddenly wanted to get married, which was obviously a stimulus for He Dabei.
Previously, Yang Wushuang once said that he didn't want to get married, because women were too troublesome.
He Dabei believed that it was true, he didn't get married, and he always thought about finding a famous lady in Kaifeng City as his wife, so as to glorify the court.
After thinking about it, Yang Wushuang took the lead, He Dabei simply rolled up his sleeves, salivated and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen begs you to give you a marriage." ”
Li Zhongyi knew that He Dabei had the intention of saying goodbye to Yang Wushuang, but he deliberately didn't say anything, and asked him with a smile: "No matter whose little lady you fall in love with, I will be a matchmaker for you, and I will do everything possible to marry her into the door of your He family." ”
Who would have thought that He Dabei would be cheeky and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are shallow, and they are not optimistic about which little lady it is for the time being, as long as the little lady you like is the emperor, you will be the master of marriage." ”
Li Zhongyi understood that He Dabei wanted him to be both a matchmaker and an elder for the next dowry. In this way, it is equivalent to a great deal of face, and it has saved a lot of money, and he is worthy of being one of the leaders of the General Staff Department, and he has calculated all the interests into the cracks of his bones.
"Marrying a wife and marrying virtue, marrying virtuous, not marrying appearance, is really the little lady I fancie, are you willing to marry? Don't go into the cave by then, if you regret it, there will be no way. Li Zhongyi naturally can't treat his confidants badly, but it's good not to be a matchmaker for three generations, and ugly words must be said in advance, so as not to make He Dabei unhappy.
"Your Majesty, you know the temperament of the minister, although the official salary is higher, he can't save a few dollars. As long as you promise to subsidize a certain dowry, even if you marry an ugly girl and go home, the minister will admit it! "He Dabei is also a single, beating Li Zhongyi's autumn wind, and he has a lot of words.
In the palace of Kaifeng, there are many selected beautiful women, rather than letting them delay in the palace, it is better to marry the old subordinates.
As long as you don't choose a particularly high-ranking family, for example, only choose an official family with about six grades, it doesn't hurt!
Soldiers are not allowed to interfere in politics, and civilian officials are not allowed to intervene in the military, which is a high-pressure iron law set by Li Zhongyi.
He Dabei's salary is indeed very high, but He Dabei has been silently taking care of the families of several old subordinates who died in battle, and no matter how high his income is, he can't stand up to the huge expenses.
According to Li Jiajun's rules, the surviving families of the fallen soldiers can receive a lot of compensation. In addition to a large lump sum pension, there is a monthly living allowance and a special allowance for child support.
However, no matter how high the subsidy is, there are times when it is not easy to get it. At this time, private borrowing and support between robes and zezes have become a key funding model.
In fact, Li Zhongyi had already opened an opening to allow the soldiers or their surviving family members to borrow money from Li Ji Qian Zhuang at unsecured low interest rates when they were not in charge.
It's just that everyone's thinking hasn't changed yet, and they always feel that it is a shame to find a money bank to borrow.
Some people also think that they are embarrassed to take advantage of Li Zhongyi, and would rather find a robe to borrow it.
To be honest, as a sovereign, it is interesting enough to know that the money lent out without security will probably never be recovered, but he still implements this practice as always.
You must know that after the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were killed, except for the bereaved families of some lucky ones who could get a pension of three melons and two dates, in most cases, they died in vain.
In layman's terms, this is called taking your life to earn a future. If you bet right, you can soar, if you lose the bet, you can only be a good man after 18 years.
"Look at you, one of the leaders of the dignified General Staff, you are so poor that you can't afford to marry a little lady, if this matter spreads, I'm afraid that someone will say that I have mistreated my old subordinates." Li Zhongyi ruthlessly counted He Dabei, and at the end, the words changed, "From now on, if there are any more family members of the robes who ask you for a loan, the silver money below 100 yuan, after you deal with it yourself, will be used to find me for reimbursement." ”
As soon as Li Zhongyi said this, everyone was immediately shocked, and everyone unanimously praised, "The emperor's grace is vast!" ”
If people don't do it for themselves, heaven and earth will be destroyed!
The upstarts of the Qiang Han Dynasty, if they can't even take care of their own relatives and friends, they will definitely use their brains to make money in private.
Historically, the nominal legal income of the unruly officials was simply outrageously low.
The expenses of the imperial court seem to have been reduced a lot. However, some of the officials who hold the power of the grassroots government have the means to extort the common people in private.
In particular, they had collected enough 100 pieces of texts for the imperial treasury to receive 10 pieces of texts.
Li Zhongyi thought very clearly, instead of allowing his old subordinates to do his own thing, it was better to distribute all kinds of unspeakable expenses to his old subordinates in the form of loans.
In this way, Li Zhongyi has gained a good reputation, and the old subordinates are not too tight!
High salaries alone will definitely not be able to support integrity, for example, the civil officials of the Two Song Dynasty received high salaries, but engaged in corrupt activities.
But the problem is that if there is no high salary, maintaining integrity is equivalent to empty words. is as violent as Zhu Chongba, who has killed countless corrupt officials, but in the end, he is unable to kill, and there is nothing to be done.
Li Zhongyi thought very clearly, and while giving a high salary, he also adopted strict punishment to crack down on corruption.
Especially in the military, it is all the more necessary to maintain a clean and frugal style. If everyone is up and down and is not punished, then the tragedy of the weak Song Dynasty will definitely be repeated in Li Jiajun.
After the gossip, Yang Wushuang got up and gave up his hand and began to get into today's topic.
"Report to the emperor, after preliminary statistics, about 40 million pieces of text were copied out of the treasury of Hongzhou, and there were 1 million horses of silk ......."
There are many pages in the list, Yang Wushuangnian's mouth is dry, and he picks up the tea cup one after another, and drinks the tea in the cup.
Li Zhongyi smiled slightly, he had heard of the wealth of the Southern Tang Dynasty for a long time. It's just that he didn't expect that there were so many silver coins and silk silk hidden in the treasury of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In this era, in addition to gold, silver, and copper coins, silk was also a common trading currency. One horse of silk is about equivalent to twenty pieces of silk, so one hundred pieces of silk is a windfall of 20 million pieces.
Unlike the monarchs of this era, Li Zhongyi fought to calculate the gains and losses of interests, unless it was a matter of strategic interests, otherwise, the gains and losses of success or failure needed to be accurately calculated.
He has obtained a windfall of 60 million yuan in Hongzhou, and the huge expenses of this army must have been settled, and Li Zhongyi's mood is naturally very good.
Yang Wushuang was a little wordy, Li Zhongyi was inevitably distracted, he had been thinking about the Great Zhou family in his heart. It's just that Li Zhongyi hasn't thought about it for the time being, how to make the Great Zhou family leave Li Yu willingly, and then fly with him?
