Hearing that Yu Zhilong actually said that he wanted to compensate for his losses, the shopkeeper Yan and the guys waiting on the side were a little dizzy, this thief's soldier robbed something, and the thief still had to compensate himself? Although he looked at the young man in front of him and talked about etiquette, he was a thief after all, and there were still such good things in the world? Since the other party mentioned that he had something to ask for, the shopkeeper Yan had to face it, "I don't know what the small shop can do for the general?" Please make it clear to the general. ”

"I have traveled all the way, I saw that there are several cloth shops or clothing shops on this street, your storefront and signboard are more conspicuous, presumably your store's business is the leader on this street, my subordinates are mostly the laborers of the original Mayu Stone Field, and the clothes on the body have long been unable to cover the body, I want to entrust the Yan shopkeeper to cut new clothes for my subordinates, materials, labor, etc. are all covered by your store, the style and size of the clothes we can then negotiate, the price of each shirt, Yan shopkeeper can deduct all the costs, give me the appropriate number, What do you think? ”

"I wonder how much the general needs?" When the shopkeeper Yan heard this, he complained bitterly, making clothes for the thieves, I didn't hear that there was money to be made, although this person said it was good, but who dared to offer him a price, even if the price was set, who would dare to ask him for money at that time? These people may take their things, pat their butts and leave, they want money, they want a ghost!

It's just that the other party brought it up, and he didn't dare not admit it, he just hoped that the other party wouldn't open his mouth and leave himself a little foundation for survival. With the last hope, Shopkeeper Yan gritted his teeth and asked how many there were.

"Well, this first batch of quantities will not be too much, after all, we are doing business for the first time, how do we have to judge the handiwork of your store, if it does not meet the requirements, it will naturally not be the shopkeeper in the future, this time for the time being, the number of two thousand." The material can be made of local coarse cloth, and if it is done well, there will be winter clothes in the future. ”

When the shopkeeper Yan heard this amount, he almost closed his breath, and he asked for two thousand autumn clothes at once! Also the first batch! I'm afraid that this winter coat is also this amount, even if I have a mountain of silver and gold, I can't stand it.

The shopkeeper Yan was simply holding his own hemorrhage and fully bearing the cost of this time.

"General, this store is really a small profit, the number of generals is really unbearable, if it is only a hundred, or even hundreds, the small store can still deal with it, but such a large number is not something that a villain can do. Dare to ask the general to find another place, can you? ”

Yu Zhilong was stunned when he heard this, there are still stores who don't want to do business? Is it because you are afraid that you will give less money? Looking at the shopkeeper Yan and the guys behind him all had a worried look, especially the shopkeeper Yan seemed to be so shocked that his face was bloodless and his soul was lost, and he couldn't help but suddenly realize when he thought about it.

"Haha, shopkeeper Yan is too worried. I'm here to do business sincerely, not to buy and sell, and I won't turn my face and deny people, or pat my ass and leave! I can assure the shopkeeper that since our army is here, it will not leave Linqu County, and in the future, our army will fight Yidu, Jinan, and Xuzhou, and this Shandong region may all belong to me. When doing business for the first time, empty words are naturally not convincing, and it is understandable that the shopkeeper is afraid of throwing money into the water. I'll pay 1,000 taels of silver first, and I'll refund the excess and make up for the deficiency. It's just that it's late autumn and the weather is getting cooler, so the shopkeeper must complete the cutting as soon as possible, so as not to let our army get cold. If your store is understaffed, you can also subcontract part of the work to your peers around you, and the time is already 10 days. Well, since the time is urgent, I will add another five hundred taels, and the specific details will be discussed with you by my subordinates. ”

"Fang Xue, let someone take 1,500 taels of silver and hand it over to the shopkeeper Yan, and all trivial matters must be discussed today, so that the shopkeeper Yan can make clothes as soon as possible."

Fang Xue came out from behind, gave the order, and then saluted the shopkeeper Yan: "So laborious shopkeeper." ”

"If the shopkeeper is worried that the store will be harassed by the soldiers again, I can send someone to be on duty at the door, and all other stores can set up people to guard in this way."

"Don't dare to work the generals and soldiers, since the generals have a trust, the small ones should be. It's annoying Mr. Lao Fang's trouble! ”

"Well, that's right, the store is open to attract customers to come to the door, and setting up soldiers with knives and spears outside is really an obstacle to business, or not, I will arrange for soldiers to patrol the streets back and forth when I go back, and Jing'an is orderly."

The shopkeeper Yan did not expect that this young general would be so considerate of the merchant and pay off all the silver at one time, so that at least there is no need to worry about the other party's intention to owe money or have already paid on credit, and also take into account the construction period and the normal business in the future. The family of soldiers and bandits in the metropolis, this will lead the door not to steal or rob, not to buy and buy, since the other party takes care of it so much, it is really a little unreasonable to shirk it by himself.

"The general is so sincere, and he despises the store Minggan within five, this thousand five hundred taels of silver is really useless to make two thousand pieces of autumn clothing, the general wants it so urgently, although the labor cost will inevitably be added, the small one is only eight hundred taels!"

"It's okay, the excess right to compensate for the loss of your store yesterday, the construction period has been set, this sewing can not be sloppy, your store can prefabricate a few samples, send them to me for a look. If there is no doubt, you can start work according to the system. My brother is responsible for the follow-up contact. The shopkeeper Yan naturally agreed.

Yu Zhilong saw that after talking about this matter, he got up and said goodbye. The shopkeeper Yan led the men to the gate respectfully and sent them off again and again.

"My lord, two thousand pieces of clothing are not enough to cost one thousand five hundred taels of silver!" After going out, Fang Xue said to Zhilong.

At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, the old system of Song and Jin was imitated, and the local governments printed and handed over banknotes by themselves, and they were not circulated with each other. In October of the first year of Zhongtong (1260), the Zhongtong Yuan Bao banknotes were issued, with a total of 9 denominations: Erguanwen, Consistent Wen, 500 Wen, 200 Wen, 100 Wen, 50 Wen, 30 Wen, 20 Wen, and 10 Wen, with silver as the standard, each two of which is equivalent to one tael of silver, which can be used to pay taxes. There is no time limit, no place limit, and it is used nationwide. At the same time, a pure paper money system was implemented, and the circulation of gold, silver and copper coins was prohibited. Later, the prohibition was constantly enforced, and all kinds of taxes were paid in banknotes. In the twenty-fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1287), it was issued to the Yuan Bao banknotes, with a total of 11 denominations: five wen, ten wen, twenty wen, thirty wen, fifty wen, one hundred wen, two hundred wen, three hundred wen, five hundred wen, consistent, and two through. The Yuan banknote has always been converted into five unified banknotes, and the two circulate in parallel, and the end of the Yuan Dynasty will not be wasted.

The currency reform of the Yuan Dynasty really used silver as the measure of value, and silver ingots were called ingots, which began in the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Yuan Dynasty did not mint silver coins, it allowed the people to cash them, and only charged three cents for work and ink each time. If there is too much money on the market, the government has a special agency that can throw the money back.

At the beginning of the issuance of the unified banknotes, and then sent to the Yuan banknotes, but in the later period of the Yuan Dynasty, due to the corruption of the imperial court, the original effective banknote law and policies, measures have also been weakened and slackened, the end of the Yuan Dynasty caused serious inflation, the price of banknotes fell sharply, so that the banknotes were handed over ten ingots, could not be exchanged for rice, and the paper money was like waste paper.

Fang Xue saw that Yu Zhilong opened his mouth and prepaid 1,500 taels of silver, because it was a physical object, the natural currency value was stronger than the yuan banknote, he was now Yu Zhilong's little housekeeper, and he wanted to save everywhere, and naturally hoped to be able to deliver it in yuan banknotes.

"It doesn't matter, after all, it's the first time to do business, although I have confidence in him, but the shopkeeper Yan is the first time to interact with us, and yesterday's violation of the order of the soldier broke the door to hit him hard, if I expected it to be good, I am afraid that he has already abandoned his family business and fled, if he can save the hearts of the local people, why not pay more silver taels? What's more, under the war, the yuan banknotes have depreciated a lot, and the people mostly focus on collecting gold and silver, so it is not suitable to deliver them in yuan banknotes at this time. ”

"Speaking of giving me military clothes, the soldiers are all different in height and fat, if everyone tailors the clothes must not be feasible, you can give three sizes of size, so that the strict shopkeeper can grasp, what the specific size, you go to consider. There is also the purchase of shoes and socks, but also to consider, if the strict shopkeeper is insufficient to accept the order, you can go to other stores to negotiate, the first time to pay more real money for the first time. ”

"No." Now that he has money and food, Yu Zhilong began to think about making uniform clothes for his subordinates and standardizing all kinds of banners.

The standardization of the armed forces is an inevitable path for future development. Yu Zhilong fought many battles with the officers and troops in various places along the way, and what impressed him more was not the combat strength of the officers and troops, but the uniform armor and banners of the officers and troops, the long-trained battle formations, and the relatively strict battlefield discipline. Every time they faced these officers and soldiers who were waiting for them, it was a headache for Yu Hai, Liu Zhengfeng, Yu Zhilong and others.

The swords, guns and arrows of the officers and soldiers are already sharp, and the combat strength of the officers and soldiers who are waiting for the battle is obviously much stronger than that of the local volunteers and themselves, and it is difficult for the Yu Hai Department to shake its position from the front, and there have been several times when some leaders do not believe in evil and have to hit head-on, but they were beaten by the officials and soldiers of Yidu Road and could not find the north, and even folded a few leaders, and these things can be avoided in the future.

For Yu Zhilong, the unified system represents strict training and fine management of the army in the future, and the strong army has not seen banners and messy armor since ancient times. Armor is lacking now, but the system of clothing can be unified. People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and if the armor of each department is clear and the orders are strict, it is also conducive to establishing one's own image if it is displayed for the people to see.

"In the future, the scale of our army will be larger, all kinds of materials required and specific turnover will be heavy, the procurement of materials alone is a big thing, after you go back, you and Tong Kui will sum up, how to better and faster purchase of materials, centralized storage, how to quickly distribute. Originally, there were a few people who followed you to do things, but in the future, the manpower will definitely be far from enough, and you usually pay attention to whether there are available people, one person is covered in iron and can hit a few nails? Our army has just obtained this city, and the people's hearts are difficult to determine for a while, and I delivered all the silver taels at one time, hoping to stabilize the confidence of the merchants, not to mention that the soldiers of our department are in tatters and the army is not in order, and they will also be criticized. The flags of each team should also be uniformly produced, and the standard can be negotiated with Zhao Shiqianhu and Qian Zhengbaihu. ”

"No." Fang Xue listened to Yu Zhilong's orders all the way, but he was so careful.

Yu Zhilong customized the clothes for his subordinates, and he was a little happy when he went out, thinking that his subordinates would finally be able to have their own decent clothes soon, no longer in tatters, and it was naturally good to be the leader, but if it was a lifelong Su beggar, it would be better not to talk about it.

A few people continued to move forward, some of the restaurants passing by were full of soldiers from various departments, because of the victory of the city, Liu Zhengfeng and others specially rewarded their subordinates with a lot of silver taels and yuan banknotes, now many soldiers have gathered in the restaurant to think about a good meal, Yu Zhilong stood outside, while walking and watching, the soldiers inside were happy to order wine and food, and exchanged glasses with each other, lively and extraordinary, those restaurants with low grades are naturally the gathering place of the soldiers, and the high-end restaurant with a wide façade and carved beams and painted pillars is naturally the first choice for leaders at all levels in the army.

Judging from the clothes of the soldiers of each department, Yu Zhilong's subordinates are few, and Yu Zhilong pays attention to the soldiers of each department, Fang Xue said on the side: "My lord once said that you should not disturb the people after entering the city, so Deputy Zhao Qianhu issued an order today, all departments are to restore order in the city, and we can't come forward to restrain the subordinates of other leaders, but we try our best to rest in the station, except for the Ji Xiancheng Baihu and Mu Chun Baihu who are assigned to perform tasks in the city, Mingxiong and Qian Zhengbu are stationed in the barracks in the city. ”

"There are also many soldiers in our department, Lord Zhao Shi thinks that all of them are stationed in the city, and it is very disturbing to the people, and the leaders of Liu Da and the soldiers of Qin, Liu, Wan, Xiahou and other departments have been stationed in the number room in the city, and there are too many garrisons in the city, so Lord Zhao Shi ordered the other departments of our army to camp outside the city, and it is strictly forbidden to go out of the camp without a military order. Because of yesterday's big victory, Lord Zhao Shi temporarily plans to allow all departments to take turns to go out of the camp every day to move freely. Whether to implement it or not is up to the adults to decide! ”

Yu Zhilong said with a smile: "Brother Shi knows what I mean. So much better! ”
