"My lord, there are six horses, and their backs are heaved and stiff, and they are sick.

The three horses were visibly sunken and sluggish.

There were also seven horses with cracked hooves. ”

After dragging the wood to inspect the horses, he pulled out the sixteen horses with problems and reported them to Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi glanced at the cowherd with an embarrassed face, and said, "Come on, give him money for eighty-four horses, thirty taels for each horse." ”

"Don't worry, sir, this... In this way, these problematic horses, such as poor horses, how about fifteen taels a horse? ”

He finally brought these horses over, and if he pulled them back, he might still die a few horses, which was not cost-effective, so he simply lost a little and sold them all to Wang Zezhi.

Wang Zezhi frowned, these horses can't be ridden out to fight, what's the use of him buying them, he doesn't want them.

"My lord, you can eat meat, I lost some money, it's good to count ten taels." The Cowherd is good at observing words and feelings, and he knows at a glance that Wang Zezhi doesn't plan to ask for these horses.

"Okay."

"Lord Xie, Lord Xie." The Cowherd was overjoyed and took the money.

After the Cowherd took the money, he bought a pot of high-quality wine in Datong Mansion, and took his people back to Pingdingzhou, and Zhang Luo's war horse went to the matter.

The matter of buying a horse has been settled, and Wang Zezhi began to be busy with the construction of the station.

I lost track of the time, and it was soon mid-September.

Chen Qiyu's reply arrived, and his reply to Wang Zezhi was that Datong Mansion was a matter of great importance and could not afford to be lost, and let him guard the Datong border pass.

Wang Zezhi pondered for a long time, and finally decided that he could not send troops without authorization.

Sichuan is too far away, if he dares to run over with soldiers and horses, without the food supply of the imperial court, then he will have to pull grain and grass from the guerrilla camp himself, the supply line is too long, the grain and grass are not enough, and the road in Shu is difficult and dangerous.

"My lord, Wang Shan asks to see you."

"Come in, please."

Wang Shan, who had gone south in search of sweet potatoes and peppers, returned.

"Meet the adults, the subordinates lived up to the trust, found sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes), peppers (chili), in addition to the subordinates also got another thing named artichoke, the subordinates thought that the adults might need something, so they found it together."

At this time, Wang Shan, dusty, bearded, and with a scar on his face, it can be imagined that his road to the south is not easy.

"Show me it."

Wang Shan had long expected that Wang Zezhi would see it, so he took out a potato directly from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.

Wang Zezhi picked up the egg-sized potato and was overjoyed.

He never thought that Wang Shan would find the potatoes.

It was nothing short of a bonus.

Potatoes were introduced from Southeast Asia by overseas Chinese doing business abroad during the Ming Dynasty, and were first planted in the southeast coastal area.

"Come on, serve the food. Hahaha..."

Wang Zezhi and Wang Shan drank wine and ate meat together, during which Wang Shan's face was heavy and he didn't say a word.

Under Wang Zezhi's careful questioning, he slowly began to speak.

Zhejiang's sea overflows, countless people and animals are drowning, Jiaxing hurricanes and lewd rain, coastal and suburban residents are drowning.

Shaoxing is windy, the sea water goes straight into the county town, and the market can be boated.

Shanyin, Huiji, Xiaoshan, Shangyu, and Yuyao were drowned, each in the tens of thousands.

The southeast coast is full of hungry people.

The local officials did not think about providing relief to the victims, but were greedy for the relief food and salary allocated by the imperial court.

Wang Shan's face was hideous when he said this, and with the scar on his face, he showed a fierce aura.

He drank the wine in his hand and continued.

The team he led was not quiet along the way.

In addition to the rampant bandits in various places, the hungry people in Henan are even worse.

Henan was hit by a severe drought and locust plague, and people ate each other, which was the end of the world.

King Fu sat on 40,000 hectares of high-quality fertile land rewarded by the Wanli Dynasty, and did not think about helping the victims, but competing with the people for profit.

"My lord, my subordinates have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." Wang Shan suddenly knelt on the ground and said solemnly.

"Please." When Wang Zezhi saw him kneeling, he immediately stood up and looked at him seriously. Romance

"The Ming Dynasty has run out of energy, and his subordinates think that the adults should come forward to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and establish a new dynasty."

After listening to Wang Shan's words, Wang Zezhi stomped back and forth and thought for a long time.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, even if the Ming Dynasty has been eroded like this, there are still many supporters of the Ming Dynasty.

The number of soldiers and horses in his hands is only 9,000, not to mention being the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, just one town of Xuanfu, and all the soldiers and horses can drown the people in his hands.

Not to mention that there are 200,000 border troops in Liaodong, and there are also more than 100,000 border troops in the northwest, plus there are millions of soldiers and horses in the provinces of Nanzhili, how can they fight? How to overturn?

"The time has not yet come." Wang Zezhi took a deep breath and spit out four words.

Wang Shan's face was overjoyed, he knew that Wang Zezhi really had this plan.

"My lord, my subordinates went south this time and gathered 6,000 soldiers in Zhejiang and Fujian, and they all escaped from the army.

According to them, they have not been paid for 10 months. ”

"It turns out that the South is like this, alas." Wang Zezhi sighed, helped Wang Shen up, poured a full bottle of wine and drank it all.

Wang Shan took the wine he handed over and drank it all in one fell swoop.

"What about the horses?"

"They were all arranged to train in guerrilla camps."

"How many sweet potatoes, peppers, and potatoes did you bring back? Can you learn how to plant? ”

"They bought 10,000 stone each, and put them in the guerrilla camp.

As for the method of planting, adults don't have to worry, I invited the old farmer who is good at planting by the way. ”

A capable person is worry-free, you can think of anything, he will help you do it.

"Well done, meritorious, reward three hundred taels of silver.

Today, you and I should be drunk together. ”

Wang Zezhi attaches great importance to Wang Shan's ability, and there is another point that makes him regard Wang Shan as his own.

Wang Shan already has an antipathy.

In the future, he can be used as a confidant, and as for the others, he can't guarantee that these people also have anti-hearts.

For example, Yu Zhong and Ma Fu, who were originally garrison officers, although both of them had the mind of being thieves, they were more willing to do things for the court in their hearts.

It's not easy for others to say, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs.

On the same day, Wang Zezhi and Wang Shan got drunk.

On the second day, as soon as the morning dawned, Wang Zezhi told Wang Shan another thing.

Ticket number.

He planned to temporarily open ticket numbers in Datong Prefecture, the guerrilla camp, and Yuxian.

However, Wang Zezhi's ticket number is only internal, not external.

At present, it is only responsible for the distribution of non-commissioned officers in the battalion.

The basic work of operating the ticket number, the finance and accounting department under Li Hua has done almost it, and the rest is to implement it.

When he planned to pay his salary in October, he would use paper money to distribute it.

The silver and money that the sergeants needed were all stored in the ticket number, and they were ready to take them when they needed them.

After the soldiers had taken the money and grain a few times in the ticket number, he began to lend money to the people, renting out all the land he had cleared.

The interest rate on the loan is set at 7 per cent per annum.

Sounds like a lot, but it's not much at all.

However, the loan was conditional, and priority was given to the families of the non-commissioned officers, and the displaced people wanted to take out loans and needed to join the military households of the guerrilla camps.

Wang Zezhi and Wang Shan talked for a whole day and talked about all the details of the ticket number.

The most important point of the invoice number is anti-counterfeiting.

For this reason, Wang Zezhi studied the password with Wang Shan all night.

A password that uses Chinese characters to represent numbers.

For example, the code of "thousands of taels and hundreds of taels" is "National Treasure Circulation", in addition to the date of the number of silver taels on the silver ticket, you also need to check the code words on the ticket to withdraw money.

For example, the ticket number is one hundred taels of silver on October 1, and its code code is "Take the City Treasure".

This kind of password combination is often replaced, to prevent leakage, the history of the Jin merchant ticket number is used this password combination, and in the ticket number from the prosperity and decline of nearly a hundred years, there has never been a fraudulent incident, which shows the effectiveness of its system.
