"Don't tell Mulan about this!" Zhao Junsheng grabbed Ma Er's shirt and said fiercely.

Ma Er stretched out a finger: "Ten meals of wine money!" ”

"One meal!"

"One meal is too little, at least five meals, otherwise don't talk about it!" Ma Er said with an indifferent look.

Zhao Junsheng said coldly: "Two meals, don't give one more, otherwise you will go and tell Mulan!" ”

Ma Er sighed and said, "If you tell Miss about this, Miss will definitely be sad." For the sake of your loyalty to the young lady, I will keep it a secret for you. Two drinks money, bring it! ”

"Be careful, don't drink to death, hum!" Zhao Junsheng took out a handful of copper coins from his big sleeve and smashed them into the horse's second-hand hand, and then turned around and left.

"Uncle, thank you!" Ma Er shouted from behind, remembering the purpose of his coming here, and exclaimed: "Wait, Uncle, Miss asked me to send you dozens of truckloads of wool and eight bags of cashmere!" ”

Zhao Junsheng stopped, he thought that this batch of wool was originally to be spun out to make wool blankets, wool cloaks, and cloaks, but now the garment factory has a large number of orders for riding trousers, and this batch of wool is not needed, but it occupies funds here.

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and waved his hand: "Send the wool to Liang Lian, send the cashmere to the store, and find a wing room in the backyard to store it!" ”

After the yamen was on duty in the afternoon, Zhao Junsheng came to the leather tanning factory, and Liang Lin came out to greet him: "Young master, you are here!" ”

Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Did Ma Er send the wool in the morning?" ”

"It's here, there are fifty-six carts in total, each cart has twenty sacks, young master, what are you doing with so much wool?" Liang Xiao asked.

Zhao Junsheng walked casually in the leather tanning factory, and said as he walked: "Originally, I planned to put this batch of wool in the garment factory, but the garment factory will not have time to spin wool in the future." The wool could not be hoarded forever, and the last time the garment factory handed over the process of cutting and sewing the riding trousers to the neighbors, after the sewing of the riding trousers was completed, the neighbors had no work to do. In this way, you organize the female workers who have been recruited to do leather tailoring and sewing, classify the wool according to thickness, hardness, and color, and divide it into three quality grades: excellent, first, and second, and give the sorted wool to the neighbors to spin and weave, and we will pay according to the weight, as for how much, you can calculate it yourself! ”

Liang Xiao promised: "Yes, I'll arrange it later!" ”

Zhao Junsheng asked again: "How much leather is tanned?" ”

"Eight thousand skins and five thousand furs have been tanned!"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said: "Okay, sell all the leather to the government or the military, especially the military has a large demand for cowhide, they want to make leather armor!" The goatskins were left for our own workers to sew the leather garments, and the furs were left behind, and if there was a tailor or garment shop to buy, we could sell it to them! I'll draw you a few sketches of a leather coat, and you let the workers cut and sew them according to the pattern, and try the effect first! ”

"Yes!"

Zhao Junsheng drew six sketches, planning to let the female workers sew a hundred pieces out of each and hang them in the store to try the market reaction, the later generations of plackets are absolutely none, which does not conform to the aesthetics of the people in this era of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the sketches of his leather coats are either on the right or on the left.

When he returned to the side door of the store, it was already dark, and Zhao Junsheng was about to open the door, when someone shouted in the back: "Join the army, join the army!" ”

Zhao Junsheng turned his head and saw that it was Pei Jin, and said in surprise: "How did you find here?" ”

Pei Jin panted and said: "Joining the army, something big happened, two big things!" ”

"What's the big deal, look at what makes you tired like this?"

Pei Jin wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said quickly: "I just sent a newspaper and an edict from the post house, which were to be presented directly to General Liang, because it was not a confidential official document, my subordinates opened it first." An official document said that the emperor was assassinated again after arriving in Yingchuan, this time the emperor was fine, but an old eunuch named Zongtai died at the hands of the assassin in order to save the emperor, Zongtai's righteous son Zongai was also seriously injured, the assassin killed more than a dozen people under the siege of the guards and fled with serious injuries, the emperor was furious, ordered a large search, almost turned Yingchuan over, and ordered the local government to issue a sea capture document wanted! ”

Zhao Junsheng heard the tide in his heart, "It must have been Lu Xuanbo who did it, no one else except him!" It's just that this time, even Zongtai was killed, and I don't know if that love is dead or alive! And Lu Xuanbo, can he survive if he is seriously injured? ”

"These assassins really don't kill the emperor and don't give up, they are really bold enough!" Zhao Junsheng sighed on the surface and asked, "What about another big thing?" ”

"Oh, that's right!" Pei Jin hurriedly replied and said: "Just a few days ago, Mobei Worm Khan Da Tan sent troops south, successively broke through Woye Town and Huaishuo Town, which had just been built, killing thousands of soldiers and civilians, no one was spared, and then Da Tan Khan plundered the south of Yinshan Mountain and the north of the Yellow River, and took away countless people, property, cattle, sheep and horses!" ”

Zhao Junsheng's eyes shrank, "The emperor has just been assassinated, and Mobei Rouran has sent troops south again, isn't the emperor so angry that he is thundering?" ”

Pei Jin shook his head and said, "What's the matter? The emperor was angry, and wanted to order the soldiers and horses of Pingcheng to assemble, and the imperial driver returned to Pingcheng at any time to prepare for the expedition, but this move was stopped by the ministers who accompanied him, and the ministers thought that the imperial army had just been from Hu Xiaban's division for a short time, and it was not appropriate to fight again within this year, even if it was to fight, it would have to wait until next year, even Cui Hao, the emperor had always relied on, was also opposed to sending troops this year, and the emperor had to issue an edict to recruit reserve soldiers from all over the country to go to Woye Town and Huaishuo Town to garrison! ”

Zhao Junsheng breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Forget it, this matter has nothing to do with us, if there is any more news, remember to tell this official quickly!" ”

"Yes, join the army!" Pei Jin agreed, and asked again: "Join the army, tomorrow is the day of salary, how will the salary be paid this time?" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand and said: "I will pay my salary according to the method prescribed by the official last time!" ”

"I understand, joining the army is sympathetic to the hard work of subordinates, giving more rewards, and subordinates are grateful, and only by joining the army can we repay one or two!"

Since the reform of the post station system and the increase in the business of sending private messages and goods, each post station has made a lot of money this month, except for a part left by themselves, most of them have been handed over, not only do they do not need to allocate money and food to pay salaries, they can be self-sufficient, and there is a lot of surplus.

At this time, in the lobby of the Taishou Mansion, Wan Dugui sat on the main seat and drank tea quietly, and more than a dozen scribes on both sides below were quickly and nervously copying military posts according to the reserve roster.

It wasn't until the middle of the night that Liu Zhubo stepped forward and said to Wandu Gui, who was napping: "General, all the military posts have been copied!" ”

Wan Du came to his senses, got up and said, "Put them all away, and send them to the Facao Department early tomorrow morning, so that they can send them out as quickly as possible!" ”

"Yes!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng came to the office to conduct morning exercises, and after doing this, he began to preside over the distribution of salaries and bonuses to subordinate officials.

Pei Jin, who received the order, greeted all the officials: "Come out and gather, join the army to give you this month's salary and reward!" ”

The officials got up one after another and gathered in several rows in the large class room, Zhao Junsheng waved his hand, and two scribes walked in with a box of copper coins and put them on the ground.

Zhao Junsheng said to everyone: "In the past, salaries were given to food, but this time let's change the way and use money to pay for food!" It's also convenient for you to bring it back. Zuo ordered Shi Cao Xianyun to send money, and distributed it one by one according to the roster! ”

"Yes, join the army!"

At this time, Liu Zhubo walked in with two scribes, and Zhao Junsheng greeted him and said, "What kind of wind blew Liu Zhubo here?" Let's go, go to Xiaguan's class room for tea! ”

Master Liu waved his hand: "Zhao doesn't have to be busy joining the army, this official is here on the order of the general to hand over these military posts to your Facao Department, so that the post house can be sent to all counties as soon as possible!" ”

Zhao Junsheng didn't take it seriously, and called Pei Jin over and ordered: "You go and arrange it!" ”

"Yes, join the army!"
