Chapter 261: The Problem of Donating Silver
The Feng family, which has been glorious for decades, cannot be said to have disappeared, but it has also become a legend.
……
By the time Huo Bao and his entourage returned to Jinling, it was already the end of November.
Pull back the real money and count it with the boat.
The people didn't know the details, but the well-informed people knew that the Feng family's property was cheaper than Monk Feng.
"Money is charming, I should donate most of it as a military salary! It would be nice if it was the Feng family who fell in love with the second sister. ”
Uncle Zhen chatted with his brother in private.
Zhen Shan said: "No, Marshal Feng's status and status, where can he not keep his private wealth?" Taiwei Huo acted as a person, and there was no greed for money. ”
Uncle Zhen disagreed: "I didn't look at it before, but this is tens of millions of taels of silver, who can not be red-eyed?" ”
The Zhen family is also the eighteen foreign gentry who auctioned off the Feng family's property.
It's just that what their family photographed was not an industry, but a few prosperous shops of the Feng family in Jinling.
Zhen Shanchang still shook his head and said: "If Marshal Huo is really greedy, I am afraid that his subordinates will have outside hearts." ”
Uncle Zhen said: "Wait and see, is there any news from the second sister?" ”
Zhen Shan said: "There is no movement." ”
Uncle Zhen couldn't help frowning, with annoyance: "Damn! The second sister Tao Li Fanghua, is she not worthy of an old farmer? ”
Zhen Shan sighed and said, "Big brother, this marriage doesn't match...... The second sister is married in the end, chastity is secondary, and flesh and blood are hard to break......"
"The picture is hard to break!"
In front of his younger brother, Uncle Zhen did not hide his intentions: "Huojiang is too far away!" Huo Jiang is also a person who shrinks his neck in everything. Even if we marry him, it is just the in-laws of the Taiwei Mansion, but it is different when we change the room of Master Huo...... It's really going to be, the second sister is the eldest sister-in-law of Taiwei, and when she gives birth to a child, she is the nephew of Taiwei, that is, a few in the family, needless to say, the nephew has changed our surname Zhen, inherited your second brother's incense, and the two younger ones were brought over, which is the stepdaughter of the Huo family. ”
Huo Shanchang was silent, not optimistic about his brother's plans.
No matter how much calculation there is, it must be accepted.
Mrs. Huo does not renew the strings, does not accept concubines, and works up and down, and the high-level rarely shows his eyes on women.
After arriving in Jinling for more than two months, only Ma Liuye received a beautiful concubine by his side, and the others were monks.
Since they can see the identity of Master Huo is different, others can't see it?
Zhen Ermei is already a two-married woman, where can she compare to a boudoir girl.
If Master Huo really wants to continue the strings, he may not be able to take the turn of the Zhen family.
……
Historian.
Master Shi also greeted his nephew and nephew on Feng's family affairs: "Be optimistic about Marshal Feng, do you really want to donate silver, if you donate silver, do you donate willingly, or donate ...... reluctantly"
Shi Jin and Shi Cong's cousins glanced at each other, both puzzled.
Shi Jindao: "Dad, my son is under the command of Taiwei, and he is not familiar with Feng Shuai. ”
Shi Congze said: "Uncle, if you really want to donate, the movement will not be small, you don't need to inquire to know." ”
Master Shi was worried.
"Dad is worried that Taiwei is worried about Feng Shuai's silver? Don't worry, the captain has a bold temperament and doesn't care about money...... Otherwise, most of each seizure would not have been divided. ”
"Yes, uncle, don't worry about this, the Chuzhou Army is different from others, and Lord Taiwei is not such a greedy person."
Master Shi sighed and said: "I believe in the character of the Taiwei, but I am afraid that Marshal Feng will set a precedent by donating silver, and the people below will follow suit......"
At that time, the historian could only follow the crowd and donate silver to help the army.
But if it became a common practice, the consequences for the local gentry would be unimaginable.
Shi Jin and Shi are also a little serious from the face.
……
Tai Lieutenant Fuzhong.
Because of these ten million taels of silver, there were also disagreements.
Monk Feng was arrogant, and he wanted to donate 8 million taels when he opened his mouth, leaving only a fraction of hundreds of thousands of taels.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The owner of the horse village was excited.
How much can you do with eight million and twenty thousand silver?
The silver was scattered, and what was recovered was grain and iron, and the logistics of the Chuzhou army were more guaranteed.
Xue Biao was about to die of anger.
The donation of silver was expected, after all, such a large amount of silver was exposed.
If you don't share some profits, Monk Feng himself can't feel at ease.
But what is the eighty percent?
Isn't 30% bad? Isn't forty percent bad?
Even if it's fifty percent, it's eighty percent?
In contrast, he, who didn't donate anything, became a miser.
Du Laoba swallowed and foamed: "If you really have eight million taels, you can raise another 100,000 soldiers." ”
At present, the Chuzhou army has a total of 100,000 veterans, and 200,000 new recruits from the three prefectures of Taipingfu, Jinling, and Zhenjiang.
Yangzhou has not yet been conscripted.
If you really have to recruit 400,000 soldiers, you will have more confidence in Jiangnan.
Shui Jin has always been kind, look at Monk Feng, look at Huo Wudao: "Even if you want to donate silver, fifty percent is about the same, you don't need to donate so much, right?" ”
Ma Juzi's eyes lit up, thinking about the gold that Marshal Feng had entered yesterday.
More than 9 million taels of silver, which were exchanged for gold in Yangzhou, were also more than 50,000 catties of gold.
From the dock to Marshal Feng's mansion, it took half a day's work.
The 8 million will be used to donate military salaries, and everyone will be able to share a lot of profits.
Master Lin was not happy but worried, stroked his beard and did not speak.
Huo Bao sat at the bottom of the water, but he couldn't help but get nervous.
This silver is hot for your hands.
Even if Monk Feng took the initiative to donate silver, if he really received the silver and fell into the eyes of outsiders, it would still be the Taiwei Mansion that swallowed the Feng family's property.
I don't know how Daddy will choose.
Huo Wu's expression was entangled, and finally waved his hand and said, "This example can't be opened!" ”
Master Lin's brows immediately relaxed.
Huo Bao's heart also fell.
Monk Feng was quite surprised.
Even if he knew that Huo Wu was not greedy for money, this silver was not a question of whether he was greedy for money or not, but also related to the combat strength of the Chuzhou army.
"Fifth Master, I am a sincere donation! These things are useless to leave in my hands, and if you donate them, you will donate them...... Qichun is eyeing the tiger, Taizhou is not good, there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers in Suzhou and Hangzhou, the Yuan brothers in Taizhou are unknown, and the Chuzhou army still needs to be strong! Monk Feng said.
Huo Wu said firmly: "I know your sincerity, but it can be used up and down, this silver is really going to be collected, I'm afraid how many people can't sleep well!" ”
Although this "donation of silver" is not as deadly as the trick of "dividing the field", it is also a soft knife to cut meat and grind people.
Master Lin nodded and said, "What the fifth master is worried about is how many people are watching the Chuzhou army act now...... The Feng family's auction is very moving, and many people will watch the whereabouts of this silver......"
The gentry and merchants in the land of the Seven Mansions all knew about the Feng family.
If the Chuzhou army really wants to accept this "donated silver", they will be panicked.
Monk Feng frowned and was silent.
The owner of the horse village said with pity: "Then the silver is in vain?" ”
Huo Bao listened to it for a while, and had a thought: "Dad, speaking of silver, the Scouts are also a little rich here......"
Everyone looked at Huo Bao.
Since the beginning of the war in August, the wars in which various ministries have participated have been under everyone's noses.
The child soldiers participated in the battle of Dingyuan County, which was a reinforcement war, not a siege war, and what they captured was only the military rations and grass of some officers and soldiers.
There is also a county town and a prefecture city in Luzhou, and they are all combined soldiers.
The rest is to assist Deng Jian in fighting Zhenjiang.
The capture and distribution of child soldiers is the same as that of the Chuzhou army.
If the child soldiers are rich, then the wealth in the hands of the armies will only be no less.
Shui Jin hurriedly urged: "Does Xiaobao have any good ideas?" ”
Huo Bao is a big ghost, and Shui Jin admires his cleverness in his heart.
Huo Bao looked at everyone: "It is said that money makes money, and it is really wasted to put it on hold, can you borrow money?" According to the interest rate on the market, it will be lent to the Chuzhou army, and the method and time of return will be agreed, and this scope will not be expanded, but only limited to all of you...... Wait until the first batch of loans are paid off, and then expand to middle-level generals, which will be counted as the welfare of our Chuzhou army! ”
Well?
Everyone's eyes widened.
Du Laoba touched his ears: "Why doesn't it sound right, it's a little awkward." ”
The owner of the horse village smiled: "Xiaobao will ponder!" It has always been the uncle who has always been rich, and it is the grandson who borrowed the money, and when it comes to our Chuzhou army, it is so tough! ”
Ordinary people want to lend money to the Chuzhou Army, but they don't have that qualification.
Monk Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then make up a whole and lend 10 million to our Chuzhou army!" ”
Shui Jin also understood, calculated in his heart, and said, "I'll make up a million taels here." ”
He has always led the troops independently, and several state capitals have not been defeated, and it is not difficult to make up 20% of the captured 1 million.
The owner of the horse village and Du Laoba are also one million taels each.
The foal thinks more.
The more such benefits, the better.
But this is the first time, and no one can say what it will be, so it's better to be safe.
"I'm not as good as Brother Shui, just 600,000 taels!"
Huo Bao is one level less than the foal, 500,000 taels.
Xue Biao trusted Huo Wu's character very much, and knew that he would not hide his personal interests in the money, so he said with a bit of pride: "I can't compare to Feng Ye, but in the end, I have been trading for many years, and there are a few silver coins, just five million taels!" ”
