Chapter 612: Treasurer, Side Concubine, Secret Agent, Wealth

At present, there are two institutions in Huazhou that are difficult to come up with money in Huazhou's finances, one is the Sima Engagement System of the Governor's Office, and the other is the Holy Daomen System.

Luo Yi's pro-military battalion is also the internal security military attache of Huazhou, but the government service in the state capitals of Huazhou is strictly boundary, and it is not allowed to cross the border to handle cases, and the only institution that can arrest prisoners on the main island of Huazhou, Beifu, Beidi, Liaozhen, Yizhou, and Malacca is the pro-military barracks, so although it is called the Dongchang and Jinyiwei of Huazhou, it actually has the functions of the criminal department back then.

It is precisely like this, although the officialdom and civilians in Huazhou are afraid of the pro-military camp, they also know that they can't do it without the pro-military camp, and they all acquiesce in his existence in their hearts.

However, the pro-military camp has the word pro-soldier, which is naturally Jiang Feng's descendant, and some secret things will not be done less, and the pro-military camp members who do these secret things are called black iron, black means secret in the dark, and this iron is the name of Jiang Feng's personal guard back then.

This black iron pro-soldier nominally belongs to the pro-military battalion, but in fact it is under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion Sima, which can be regarded as the system that Sima is engaged in, of course, Sima Cheng's actions in Huazhou are also under the supervision of the pro-military battalion, and the two departments monitor each other and contain each other.

The power of secret agencies is beyond the law and human feelings, it is particularly huge and not easy to control, Jiang Feng must be prepared in advance, in fact, the pro-military camp has the establishment of the Huawang Guard, but this Huawang Guard is directly under Jiang Feng's leadership, whether it is personnel or the supply of the pro-military camp Luo Yi can not have the slightest interference.

Huawang Guards are the most elite and tough soldiers in the entire Huazhou, not only have superb hand-to-hand combat skills, but also equipped with the most sophisticated firearms, all of which are equipped with flintlock pistols, according to the strength of Huazhou's armed forces, there is no danger around Jiang Feng, and it can be said that it is redundant to maintain this strong army of 5,000 people, but there are people who secretly judge that if there is any chaos on Jiang Feng's side, whether it is the pro-military camp or the garrison troops, Jiang Feng can easily calm down with his own guards. These preparations are not made to be wary or uneasy about anyone, but to sit in this position, and these preparations must be done, which is called politics.

The annual budget and the amount of money and food spent by the pro-military camp are quite a lot, but they are still within the scope of tolerance, when Jiang Feng crossed over, there was no concept of finance at all, but among the components of the ruling class in Huazhou, a large part of them are businessmen or people with merchant backgrounds, these people have been in business for many years, and they already have the concept of budget and balance of income and expenditure, these people are the leading figures in charge of the lifeline of Huazhou's economy, and they are always consciously or unconsciously resisting the huge projects and expenditures.

Regarding the attitude of these people, even if Jiang Feng is dictatorial, he can't be harsh on the people in his camp, after all, what the other party does is also for the sake of the overall situation of Huazhou.

The expenditure plan of the pro-military camp is already so difficult to pass with the treasurer of Huazhou, not to mention the Sima Engagement System of the Governor's Mansion, Sima is engaged in intelligence and underground work in addition to Huazhou, as well as the local weapon research and development and manufacturing in Huazhou, of course, some really black and secret things are handed over to Sima Engaged to do, and there are many people in Sima Engaged in it, and many things he does cannot be done for outsiders.

The money that Sima spends every year is more huge than that of the pro-military camp, but this money cannot be spent, and the annual treasurer Zhao Yangfan (Zhao Xiucai) is racking his brains to raise, and Sima is also a little crooked, that is, to engage in smuggling to the Japanese and Ming coasts.

They have the Huazhou Navy as a background, and there are many experienced pirates in their subordinates, so it is relatively easy to make money compared to other smugglers, but as the Huazhou Navy has more and more strict control over the sea, continuing to do this kind of thing is tantamount to digging into their own corners.

Fortunately, Jiang Feng's palace itself also has huge wealth, and it has used private money to subsidize it in the past two years, but this is not a long-term solution, and it is not a way to go on like this.

Everyone in Huazhou knows that Zhao Zhushu is currently the treasurer of Huazhou, which is equivalent to the household book of the Ming Dynasty, and controls the money bags of the world, but the people who really have the right to speak about money are Su Guanyue and Su Guanxue, the concubines of King Hua, and the documents and vouchers involving more than 1,000 taels of silver money in and out of the treasury yamen every day must be sealed in a black wooden box and delivered to the Huawang Mansion, and the palace maids trained by the Su family sisters screened and copied these documents, and then sent them to the Su family sisters for approval.

If the Su family sisters have doubts about something or something, they have to go to Jiang Feng to make a decision, and the treasurer Zhao Yangfan knows that they are hard working and cautious, but for him, the financial talent and financial management skills of the Su family sisters who have received the influence of the Ming household servant are incomparable.

He has always respectfully obeyed the instructions of the Su family sisters, but this instruction is still correct, when the wealthy businessmen and treasurer officials in Huazhou decide the income and expenditure of Huazhou, they deal with it according to the arrangement of the Su family sisters, they are all in order, and there will be no problems, so everyone respects them.

This is also an allusion to Huazhou, some scholars from the Ming Dynasty in Huazhou, who could not get famous in the Ming Dynasty, came to Huazhou but did not have the ability to do things, idle at home, farming life, although they did not worry about food and clothing, but the heart of the scholars was high, and they were naturally resentful.

But they all boast of being loyal to the Ming Dynasty, because they are cynical about the affairs of Huazhou, the Su family sisters rely on female officials and maids, and remotely control the financial resources of the treasurer of Huazhou, this structure program looks very similar to the master of ceremonies of the Ming Dynasty, and the Su sisters are called "Zhen Shangshu, Zhen Shilang".

The Su sisters' courtyard is also known as the Huazhou celebrant eunuch, whether this celebrant is in Daming or Huazhou, as long as it is where the Han people are, they all know that this is not a complimentary word.

Everyone was a little lucky, thinking that when Huazhou was first built, if it was to win people's hearts, it would definitely not scold people with words, who knew that these remarks were quickly collected by the pro-military camp into their hands, and they were reported to Jiang Feng's hands at the first level, Jiang Feng was furious after seeing it, and immediately ordered to arrest people.

At that time, whether it was Liu Shunhua or Liu Twelve, they were all in a hurry to advise, saying that it was a literati who spoke about political affairs and was open-minded, which was a symbol of the prosperity of the past dynasties.

"Talking about other people's family affairs, such a literati just knows a few words, the world's corporals, this world is beaten down with a knife and a shot, when Zhu Yuanzhang was Dingding, what scholars were there in the world at that time?"

Jiang Feng retorted very angrily, the people below naturally didn't dare to say more, after this incident, no one said anything nonsense, the Ming Dynasty had Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but the literati and writers talked nonsense about the politics of the imperial court, and the tradition of making gossip was also extremely bad.

Jiang Feng's internal and external separation is very ordinary, and the inner palace is also very clear about the news from the outside, so I don't know how this matter went, it reached the hands of the Su family sisters, who had such and such a connection with the Jinyi Weidong Factory when their family was ruined, and they have always been extremely disgusted with the internal guard organization.

Especially after hearing that people outside added such a title to themselves, they were even more aggrieved, and even the budget for the pro-military camp and Sima to engage in this kind of institution was also extremely strict.

Moreover, the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce, the leaders of the merchant fleet, and the treasurer officials who are responsible for formulating the budget, these people who are responsible for formulating the budget have no good impression of Sima Cheng, so no matter how Liu Twelve's running activities, the silver approved every time is always a drop in the bucket.

This situation, Jiang Feng does not want to use privileges to solve it, it is also a good thing that his subordinate departments have constraints on each other, and in the future, these people who make budgets are also responsible for the entry and exit of financial resources in the world, and it is not a bad thing to be cautious and careful, and even make things difficult, and at present, these people still know the importance of what they do, and the operating funds of the two sets of military and civilian systems in Huazhou have never been delayed.

Since there are no disgraceful actions in terms of budget, such as checking intelligence, monitoring the interior, and developing weapons, Jiang Feng cannot afford to use the private property of the palace to subsidize it, and there are fewer and fewer channels for smuggling and other profits, Jiang Feng and Liu Twelve always have to think about finding a source of money that can bypass this system.

The 70,000 captives in Liao Town, there are still many undeveloped land and fields in Liao Town, it seems that this source of wealth is in front of them, the current captives can not let them eat for nothing, nor can they be released and driven away, then they need to be transformed, the best way to transform this kind of transformation is to let these prisoners receive education and hardship in a clear and closed environment, as long as it is to ensure that there are no more things necessary for life, and there must be constant repetitive labor, and the closed environment is naturally imprisoned.

The labor, the fields, have lost their status of freedom, and there is still a strong demand in the outside world, although they cannot be sold as slaves, but the output of three years' labor can be sold to these slave merchants.

The Huazhou Governor's Office promulgated rules for the handling of Ming prisoners, and all non-Liao soldiers who wanted to be free had to work in closed farms for three years before they could be released.

The prisoners were resettled, the slave merchants were benefited, and their benefits were to be shared with the Sima Practitioners, and the financial resources of the secret agencies were also guaranteed, and everyone was happy......
