Chapter 143: Usury

As soon as Zhang Jun returned to the governor's mansion, he drew up a military order in front of Wang Meng, and after stamping the governor's seal, Wang Meng could use this to mobilize the whole army and conduct a dragnet search of the surrounding areas of the arsenal.

In the current slave army, except for Zhang Jun, the governor, there is no one who can handle military affairs on his behalf. The daily chores of ordinary times are discussed and handled by the generals of various armies. When it comes to this kind of event, it is impossible for Zhang Jun to participate in person, so he needs someone to temporarily take charge of the conscription army. So the heavy responsibility fell on Wang Meng's shoulders. The reason why he gave this task to Wang Meng was that Zhang Jun liked his calm style of doing things, and secondly, he had no foundation in the army.

In fact, it is more suitable to look for armor for Han Hu to do, but through the recruitment incident, Zhang Jun felt that Han Hu had faintly had the posture of standing on the mountain. He has been in the army since he was a child, and his father is a veteran Han Pu, so he naturally has to be more developed in the relationship network, even if he doesn't have his own little abacus, others will take the initiative to post it.

Zhang Jun is a very sensitive person in military power, and before joining the army and planning the guard department did not really take on his responsibilities, he planned to deal with Han Hu coldly for a while, not only to show his attitude, but also to let those captains who planned to move around understand that only the governor of the capital could say anything about this conquest army.

When Wang Meng led the order to retreat, Zhang Jun rested for a while. The lady came with lotus steps, carrying a plate of delicate snacks and drinks. Zhang Jun picked up one of them and took a bite, and it turned out to be a familiar taste. I couldn't help asking, "The cook in the house is also here?" ”

"Yes······" Cai Yan bowed down and replied: "The concubine is afraid that Lang Jun will not be used to eating outside, so she asked the cook to follow, and there is always one person who is not bad for him." ”

"Don't make claims in the future!" Zhang Jun put down the half-bitten pastry, and said unhappily: "I have repeatedly ordered before I go that the relocation of the Hou Mansion should be simple, and even you should not come······"

"Yes······" Cai Yan lowered her head and said, "The concubine knows that she is wrong. ”

"The purpose of building a festival is to benefit the people. If it's for pleasure, then I might as well stay in the Hou Mansion. The family made him old, and the Hou Mansion couldn't be left alone, so he asked you to follow and handle the daily operation of the Governor's Mansion. Don't think that because you are favored by me, you can disobey orders. Zhang Jun frowned and said.

"Yo yo yo!"

At this time, a crisp voice sounded, it was Jiang Wanqing who walked in, and she didn't even make a report.

She saw that Cai Yan was standing there with her head down and being trained, so she stepped forward and said: "Sister Cai Yan, don't listen to his nonsense, I think it's good to take the cook, he doesn't like it, then let him go to the army to eat, let's eat a small stove in the house!" ”

"Humph!" Zhang Jun snorted coldly, this Jiang Wanqing is also becoming more and more presumptuous, she doesn't have the consciousness of being a subordinate at all, and she really treats the Governor's Mansion as her own home. He was immediately displeased and said: "Wanqing, you are a secretary, you must have the dignity of an official." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Wanqing pouted, handed over a stack of documents as she spoke, and said, "Governor Dadu, this is a document sent by Song Beijia and Suo Zhizhong, which contains the disaster relief situation and the financial situation of the county. ”

Zhang Jun didn't pick it up, but asked, "How much grain is left in the county?" ”

Jiang Wanqing simply put away the paperwork and reported directly: "Money and grain ······" She was about to speak, but saw Zhang Jun waving her hand and said, "Cai Yan, you go down first······"

"No." Cai Yan bowed to the two, then picked up the leftover pastries and retreated, Jiang Wanqing stepped forward and took two more and stuffed them in her mouth, so that Cai Yan couldn't help but exit the door.

"Dadudu, you are suspicious enough, you don't even believe the person next to you." Jiang Wanqing teased.

She knew that Cai Yan had to sleep in addition to taking care of Zhang Jun's daily life, but it was difficult for her to have any hostility. Just because the colorful frog is so beautiful, even Jiang Wanqing, a woman with a lot of beauty, will also feel close. What's more, Cai Yan is just a maid, even if she has an identity in the future, her status will not be high, and there is no threat at all.

Zhang Jun smiled, recalling in his mind the female assassin he had met when he was assassinated in Guzang City, she and the smell of the colored worm were so similar, once the doubts took root in his heart, he would not easily pull them out.

He said: "Say, Secretary Lang, how many families do we have in Guangwu County?" ”

"Alas······" Jiang Wanqing also frowned, and sighed: "Where is there any family background, the beard of the big housekeeper of Master Yan is almost white, and the east wall is demolished to make up the west wall, and there will be no rice to cook!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Jun raised his eyebrows, he has been busy with system building and miscellaneous things recently, and he really hasn't paid much attention to his pocket. Slightly surprised: "Specifically, those confiscated wealthy family property, isn't it very much?" ”

Jiang Wanqing said: "Governor, you don't know the price of firewood and rice." It seems that there are a lot of confiscated properties, but in fact, there are many houses, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that cannot be sold. Even the food and coins that have been identified have been used sparingly to persist until now. ”

"The resettlement of the victims, the reconstruction of the damaged houses, the construction of roads and bridges as you ordered, and the conscription and payout, which aspect is not like running water?"

"Well, I was negligent." Zhang Jun said: "Master Yan can have a way to deal with it?" Why didn't he report to me personally? ”

"Master Yan has gone to see the rich merchant of Jinxing County, hoping to borrow money from him in the name of the Governor's Mansion." Jiang Wanqing replied.

"Borrowing?" Zhang Jun stood up in shock and said, "I'm the governor of the city, and I still want to borrow usury from merchants?" ”

"What about borrowing, why should the governor be so alarmed?" Jiang Wanqing said curiously: "In these years, how can there be any local government that does not borrow, even our generals have to borrow from the wealthy families in the western soil. When she said this, she suddenly smiled and said, "You don't know, the Jiang family is also a creditor in Liangzhou." “

Looking at Zhang Jun's mouth, Jiang Wanqing said proudly: "Otherwise, there are so many troops to raise, and they have to be ready to fight at all times, how can they have enough money and food for taxes?" ”

Zhang Jun hesitated: "Are you sure?" Where did you hear that? ”

Jiang Wanqing also puzzled: "Metropolitan Governor, you don't really don't know, right?" Borrowing from the people was the norm in the Han Dynasty, and even the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms in the early Han Dynasty was also fought by the Han court through usury. Don't say it, it is said that the wealthy families in Guanzhong at that time were not optimistic about their court, and Emperor Jing almost couldn't even borrow usury. ”

Hearing this unbelievable secret, Zhang Jun said: "The affairs of the Han Dynasty have passed hundreds of years, and there is no evidence. ”

Jiang Wanqing was unconvinced and said: "During the Three Kingdoms, the princes of each family also wanted to borrow money and grain from the wealthy family······"

"No!" Zhang Jun circled around the house and said: "How can a country's wealth be in the hands of rich businessmen and wealthy families, isn't this nonsense?" ”
