Chapter 479: First-level marketization
Huang Kezao, who used to be a soft-boned soldier, was clever and cultured, and was taken in by Huang Han and given his surname.
He has been working hard all these years, and his evaluation is good in all aspects.
Yang Jian is the township party of Jiulitai Village, whose loyalty is impeccable, Shao Juncai Chongzhen took the initiative to follow the "Red Flag Army" for three years, and he was the musketeer Bai General brought out by Song Pengfei himself, and he has been serving as the commander of the Marine Corps of the Navy Division since he was transferred to the water camp at the beginning of last year, and he can stand the test.
The three of them have their own strengths, so the organizational structure of "Sun Moon Shipping" and "Sifang Express" is completely different, the leadership is a three-person group, and Huang Han's third brother Huang Yi is responsible for liaison in order to deal with "Sun Moon Shipping" matters in a timely manner.
Huang Yi has been helping his brother with things since the second year of Chongzhen, and he can't read the Four Books and Five Classics in the past four or five years.
He likes Xinxue and doesn't want to enter the ranks through the imperial examination, so Huang Han left him by his side to personally train him, and strive to train him to be a family member of the "Sun Moon Shipping".
The future development of the "Sun and Moon Shipping" was similar to that of the Dutch East India Company, which had a national character, requiring loyal, reliable, and talented men to take the helm.
Huang Yi has a flexible brain, not only knows the Four Books and Five Classics, but also learns all the new textbooks edited by Huang Han, and even points out the shortcomings of the textbooks.
This matter has not been discussed with my father, because Huang Yi was sent to the county school at the age of eight to open the Meng, Huang Yizhou is ready to cultivate a real scholar for the Huang family, starting from the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, and striving for the title of the gold list.
With Huang Han's reputation and the strength of the Huang family, it is not difficult to pass the academy with Huang Yi's current level to get a show of talent and fame, but it is difficult to get a talent and a reputation in the examination.
The key point is that Huang Yi has begun to reject the Four Books and Five Classics, but has fallen in love with the art of war and firearms, and is even more eager to cross the ocean to the dry continent to see the big mouse that his brother told about with a person who is tall and jumps backwards and jumps and walks.
Huang Han did not think that the Four Books and Five Classics were useless, and at least they were of certain benefit to the accumulation of moral cultivation and cultural heritage.
It's just that the troubled times at the end of the Ming Dynasty are purely self-defeating, Huang Yi is keen on real knowledge and is of course strongly supported by his brother, so he secretly kept him by his side to listen to it, looking for opportunities to give him military merits.
In April, Huang Yi, who had passed the county examination in the fifth year of Chongzhen last year, was going to Yongping Mansion to participate in the government examination.
Huang Han also has a fourth brother Huang Ang is a concubine, this year turns ten years old, this child is more bitter, that is because the Huang family's economic conditions are enough to hire a private school, Chongzhen three years in the autumn of Huang Ang was only six years old Huang Ang enlightenment, now Yongping Mansion is studying in a well-known academy.
This is the common disease of the Han people, and it is also the virtue of the Han people, everything is inferior, only the reading is high, the court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight Tianzitang is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even Huang Yizhou, who is already a general military officer from the first grade, wants his son to become a scholar.
The control of the Daming imperial examination is not too harsh, and the general situation can go through the back door and ask for favors, but the examiners and jinshi are a different matter, and the scientific examination fraud case can make the cabinet old fall and the senior officials lose their heads.
Therefore, the bottom line of the corrupt Ming Dynasty is still there, and the poor students who study the books of the sages can still jump into the dragon gate through the imperial examination that destroys their bodies and minds, and become one of the Zhu Zi of the imperial court.
Huang Kezao regards himself as a domestic slave no matter what official position Huang Han gives, he may have compared the two masters due to his experience, and now he has become dependent on Huang Han, which is a bit blindly obedient.
When he got the order, he didn't ask the reason and immediately went to Zheng Xiaozhang and Gao Zhongyong and Gao Zhongxiao to convene the nine major merchants to discuss the matter, and he and the Gao family, the Zheng family and so on came forward to contact the people who didn't explain the origin of these heads and deliberately made them mysterious.
The merchants who rushed to the city had the discernment to learn that the head of the rebel general with a name and surname offered five hundred taels of silver, the rebel soldiers asked for seven taels, and the chief flag officer, the hundred household officials, and the general manager ranged from ten to eighty taels of silver, and the supply was limited and outdated, so they divided these points on the spot.
While doing business, Huang Han did not forget to be a favor, and gave Huang Long and Jin Sheng 500 to gain plus the heads of the two rebel generals, Su Yougong and Chen Guangfu.
Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian didn't need to be treated like this, the number of beheadings in their hands exceeded five thousand, and the generals they killed were also several big ten, no matter how many they were, it was useless, because they didn't have much room for promotion.
Within a few days, the nine merchants completed the transaction, and the "Red Banner Army" received more than 40,000 taels of silver, and the matter of intercepting and killing the rebels was erased from history.
The generals who bought the heads could only guess privately, and no one knew how many of the heads had gone to market.
No one can confirm who killed the rebels and is unwilling to repay the merits, because there is no "Red Banner Army" who makes the deal, they are all approached by nine businessmen, and the forces behind these nine are unusual.
Moreover, Huang Han deliberately mixed the water and gave Dongjiang Town a lot of gains, and many people may think that the poor Dongjiang soldiers wanted to get cash and sell the rebel head at a price higher than the court's reward of two taels of silver.
Some people also speculated that it should be that Fang Zhenghua and Li Ruolian took the Jingying men and Jinyi Wei to break through Dengzhou and got too many beheadings, and they were worried that there would be too many deductions when the imperial court was nuclear power, so they took away some of the rebel heads to take cash.
This is not surprising that this is a common phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty, whipping fast cows! The final result will of course lead to no generals willing to be stupid.
Seeing that it is already late February, spring ploughing will be ushered in soon, so Huang Han is also preparing to stop for a while.
Except for non-commissioned officers and above, the rest of the regular soldiers must organize themselves to help families with insufficient labor to farm, or adhere to the principle that there is no free lunch, and it is enough for the army to lend a helping hand when labor is most needed, and the fee charged will not be less.
Because only by doing so can the principle of fairness be demonstrated, otherwise there will be people who think that stupid soldiers don't need money to work, and deliberately take advantage of themselves to be lazy and profit.
The nine merchants who were allowed to operate in Liaohai did a good job in the spring, and a large number of drunken immortal series liquor were sold to the Houjin control area, and these merchants could freely enter and leave Shengjing, and their men and even Yu Jiading had of course been infiltrated by the flag guards a long time ago.
Originally, the "Red Flag Army" had a map of the Houjin control area, but it was all abstract works of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is drawing a traffic schematic map of the Jiannu control area according to the visual measurement of the flag guard and the size measured with steps.
