For dogs, Wu Lan is very satisfied, has brains, people and cleverness, especially yesterday when he met the enemy calmly, command a degree, like a general's demeanor, Wu Lan is confident, as long as he cultivates the dog for a few years, and when he grows up, he will be a general in his own hands.

"Boy, a certain family can inquire, you distributed all the silver money you gave to those people yesterday, what do you use to buy my salt this time."

Wu Lan was in a good mood, so he stopped and joked with the dog.

The dog said, "The kid has no money now!" ”

"What do you buy if you don't have money!" Wu Lan said with a smile.

"That handsome, can the kid pay it on credit first, I promise that I will definitely pay back the money for a penny."

"On credit?" Wu Ling frowned and asked the dog, "How much do you want to owe?" ”

The dog turned and pointed to a peaceful lane that had just been filled with salt: "I want five cars like that!" ”

"Five cars?"

Not only Wu Xuan was taken aback, but the surrounding generals were also stunned and looked at each other.

"Ahem, puppy, don't talk nonsense in front of the handsome!" Old man Zhou, who is now promoted to deputy superintendent of the Chinese army, hurriedly came out of the queue and reminded the dog.

"That's right, dog, a Taiping car can hold five or six hundred catties of salt, and five cars are twenty or thirty stone miles, what are you going to do to use such salt?"

In the first battle of Hulu Valley, General Zhang was promoted from the first level of preparation general to deputy general, and belonged to the second official in the level of "general".

"Little dog, there is no joke in the army, I can give you the number of five carts, but you have to tell me, what are you going to do with all this salt? A certain family reminds you first that all the goods in the army are not allowed to be sold to merchants or sold to civilian households! ”

The dog said: "Back to the big handsome, the kid will never resell it to the merchant!" As for what to do, the ......"

Wu Lan looked at the dog's little head and looked around, obviously thinking that there were too many people around him and didn't want to say it.

He smiled and said: "Let's say, the generals around are not outsiders, and no one will chew the root of your tongue!" ”

"Yes, let's say, did you find any deals, you can rest assured that we won't rob you!"

A group of generals, young and old, made assurances one after another.

Seeing this, the dog gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said: "Hui Dashuai, just now the boy found a large group of fat fish in this Taoshui River, I want to salvage it and sell it to the merchant, in order to prevent the fish from rotting, the boy wants to make the live fish into salted fish, so that it can be preserved for a longer time." ”

"Selling salted fish?"

Wu Lan tugged at the short mustache on his chin and said, "Can you make money?" Don't even be able to get the salt money back then! ”

The surrounding generals also looked at the dog suspiciously.

Gou'er smiled and said: "Back to the marshal, this deal will definitely not be lost, you are often busy with military affairs, I don't know about this businessman's business, the boy and the generals will talk carefully." ”

In the markets of the Song Dynasty, a pound of salt could be sold for between 100 and 300 wen in salt-deficient areas, and the price of salt in ordinary areas was only about 50 wen.

Salt is such a thing, as long as people gasp for breath, they can't do without it, and because of this, all dynasties have designated salt as an official camp.

The government collects salt from the salt-producing areas at a price of about ten yuan, and sells it to merchants with salt quotations, and a pound of salt doubles or three times, and then when the merchants sell it to the rest of the region, it becomes five or six times, or even more than ten times, so it sells the originally very cheap salt to the thief price, which is the so-called profiteering industry, and the salt tax alone can bring millions of dollars to the Song Dynasty every year.

The reason why the imperial court fried the cheap salt so high, in addition to accumulating money, also had some careful thoughts about controlling the people, which can be described as extremely shameless.

After talking about salt, let's talk about fish.

The imperial court does not control the small thing of fish, and at most only collects some fish taxes, but it is not easy for ordinary people to eat fish.

Among many dynasties, when it comes to food, no one can compare with the Song Dynasty, so the Great Song Dynasty is a country where foodies are overflowing.

As long as there are qualified people, the table is indispensable to the "fresh" famous fish, steaming, frying and even frying, as the so-called: hundreds of kinds of fish and meat to eat, delicious food at your fingertips.

However, because the transportation was inconvenient in ancient times and the preservation technology was poor, it was still difficult for ordinary people to eat a bite of fish, even if it was closer to the water, and a pound of fish would cost 20 yuan.

The first sentence is called "The Fisherman's Father", who goes, and the fish and crabs will be paid for a while.

In addition to reading the witty and interesting meaning, we can also see something else, wine is very expensive, and the fish can be exchanged for wine, indicating that they are equivalent products.

What is the price of wine, a good pound can be sold for a few taels of silver, even if it is a low-quality wine brewed in the village, it costs 20 yuan a pound, so the price of fish is the same.

Near the water, far away from the water, the price of this fish is much more expensive, grass carp, carp and even "delicious pufferfish", cheap can be sold for 100 yuan a catty, expensive can have one or two pounds.

In addition to fishermen, there were also "fishmongers" who trafficked live fish, who bought live fish from fishermen, and then put it in wooden barrels filled with clean water, and transported it to a city far away from the great river by a flat car, a wheelbarrow or even a mule cart.

The season is different, the location is different, the fish species are different, the price is also different, after the Beiting moved south, because of the many lakes in the south, the price of this fish is basically kept at 20 wen a catty, only cheaper than pork.

Why does the dog dare to say that it will not pay? It's because of this first, the salt in the army is supplied by the imperial court, which means that there is no money, not to mention that the salt in front of him is still captured from the hands of Jin Bing, let alone money.

Second, the Taoshui River behind this is simply a wasteland, almost no one has set foot in it, the river bank is overgrown with weeds, and the reed stalks are crawling with mosquitoes, which means that the bait is sufficient, so it leads to the crazy reproduction of all kinds of fish and crabs here, reaching the point that there are groups of people, and even people are not afraid.

The fish caught were loaded into the car and transported to the nearby villages to sell live fish, and in the distance, they were pickled and dried to sell salted fish.

Besides, Wenzhou in the jurisdiction of Lizhou West Road is the production area of green and white salt, where can the price of salt be? A pound of salt can make five or six catties of salted fish, and a pound of fish with salt can be sold at least for 20 or 30 Wen.

How many fish can be fished out of the river behind? Look at the denseness of the bounce and the length that you can't forget at a glance, there are at least 200,000 catties, squatting on the ground and calculating, the profit of 5,000 guan can still be kept.

For the army is often tens of thousands of running water, 5,000 this money is drizzle, but for themselves this is a lifetime of wealth that can not be spent, seeing that the army is about to disband, so the dog decided to take the people of Tangjia Village here to do this fish trade, the Jin people were also beaten away, three or five months of safety issues do not need to be considered, wait for a long time, when the Jin people appear on the opposite side, the fish in the river will be almost caught, pat the buttocks, with the silver money home, isn't it beautiful?

Hahaha......

The five-body dog who admired his clever brain melon, crossed his waist, looked up at the sky and laughed.

A large group of generals frowned, looking at the dogs who were all drooling happily, and they were eager to go over and beat him up one by one.

With a whip, Wu Lan, who couldn't help it, whipped the butt of the war horse under the seat fiercely.

"Zhao Gou'er has found a way to make money for the army, order, remember a small merit once, and drive!"

The group patted the horses and walked away, and the horses' hooves kicked up dust, and it took a long time to fall.

"Brother, what did the handsome just say?"

The stupid dog present asked the clerk who stayed behind.

"Congratulations, brother!"

The secretary of Zhanggong turned the military merit booklet in his hand and congratulated the dog: "First there is a small merit of dedicating to surrender, and then there is a small merit of raising military salaries for the army, plus the small merit of commanding the beheading of the gold thief at the 35th level yesterday, and the great merit of offering 70 war horses, and today there is a small merit of finding a way to sell fish for the army, well, a total of four small merits and a large merit, and you can get several merits in less than a month, which is really admirable again, and when the war is over, the brother's official rank must be promoted several levels in a row, only twelve years old, amazing!" ”

The Great Song Dynasty Army is divided into battalions, generals, and armies to assess the military merits of officers, among them, the battalion level assessment is: one major meritorious service is promoted to one level, and one major merit is equal to three small merits.

As a junior officer in the battalion, the dog naturally assesses the content of the battalion level, the first decapitation in the army, and cutting off the enemy's head is equivalent to a great achievement, and the dog took a group of people to cut off thirty-five golden soldiers' heads as a great merit in the "excellent", and should have obtained the "three great merits", but the dog divided the heads equally, and did not gain it itself, it can only be regarded as a great merit in the lower rank, so it can also be recorded as a great merit of "rising to the first order".

But why do military merit officers remember dogs' small merits? This is in the subdivision, in this mission, as one of the "team leaders", Gou'er himself has the responsibility of commanding the battle when encountering the enemy, so it is his duty to organize the people to resist the Jin soldiers.

In addition to assessing the amount of his own gains, the team leader also has to assess the group's "number of profits and losses", to put it bluntly, the ratio of beheadings to the number of casualties, more than 40 soldiers and more than 10 civilians died in World War I, so the group merit can only be done equally, and its own merit is zero, so it only accounts for the military merit of timely command, if the dog chooses to escape.

After the fact, if the command is not good, he will be punished once, and the two battalions of people under him will be taken away by the Jinren, and if he is punished again, he will not only lose his official position and go to prison, but also lose his head.

This is also the reason why many commanders can't be promoted, after all, it is very rare to get a surplus in the group merit assessment.

This is just that the battalion level is so cumbersome, and if it is a general, the army does not know how difficult it is to be promoted to one level.

But for the rookie dog in officialdom, no big or small feats are better than putting 6,000 yuan in his pocket.

"Why is the marshal so unreasonable, it is obviously a way to make money that I came up with, how can it become a way to find money for the army!"

The dog looked sadly at Wu Lan, who had run away without a trace, and complained regretfully.

"Ahem, boy, you are a member of our Western Army, and you came up with an idea in our army, so it naturally belongs to the method of our Western Army."

Such an arrogant and unreasonable remark made the dog frown, then he turned around and looked at a thin official in a scarlet robe and asked dissatisfiedly:

"You?"
