"Lord Mao, there are a total of 2,000 stones of grain, more than 10,000 pieces of various weapons and iron tools, and then hundreds of packages of herbs and more than 3,000 pieces of jackets, our proprietor said, these things are worth more than 20,000 silver, if it is convenient for the adults, you can calculate the silver according to the price, if it is inconvenient, you can owe it first, the court has a military salary Lord Mao can be sold, and we will settle the settlement. If he really doesn't, even if he serves the court, there is nothing to worry about......"

Cheng Fang's attitude was respectful, his tone was gentle, and he was not particularly proud or domineering, nor did he say that the Dongjiang Army, including Mao Wenlong, had the feeling of being chared, first talked about the price of goods, and then talked about the payment method, and finally said that he was also serving the imperial court, and did not mean that Mao Wenlong was good in the city.

The more this is the case, the deeper the good impression of He Yusheng and Zhang Han in everyone's hearts, and of course, the good impression of Cheng Fang, who is like a boy of wealth in front of him.

"Haha, yes, yes." Zhang Pan slapped Cheng Fang's shoulder hard, and Cheng Fang grinned and exhaled in pain.

"Zhang Pan, you also hold it." Mao Wenlong is also happy in his heart, in addition to food, jackets and herbs are also urgently needed, here is not only the people and homeless people are starving and freezing, but more importantly, the army is also seriously lacking cotton clothes and medicinal materials for healing the sick and wounded, in addition, there must be a lack of iron tools on the island, Mao Wenlong's territory has not mined iron ore, a small amount of pig iron is still collected from North Korea and the people, the lack of iron farm tools in the reclamation, the soldiers also lack weapons, not to mention the waist knife and armor, even the number of iron spear heads is insufficient, Many of the newly recruited soldiers were only sharpened wooden sticks in their hands, and these weapons and iron tools were not as important as food.

However, Mao Wenlong didn't believe Zhang Han's words, a businessman, using this way to serve the court is really too weird.

After saying Zhang Pan's words, Mao Wenlong looked at Cheng Fang and said in a solemn tone: "Your proprietor, in fact, I know that he is also a third-grade military official, and he can also be called Lord Zhang, what kind of charter is he?" ”

Cheng Fang said: "What do you mean by Lord Mao's words? ”

Mao Wenlong said: "If it is an ordinary businessman, the official owes the silver, and if there is one, he will pay it back, and if he does not, he will write it off, the official is a military general, and he is doing the work of selling his life, and he can not want his life, what about the silver, the country is like this, and the merchant is unlucky. However, your proprietor has already asked the official to owe tens of thousands of silver twice, and such a huge amount of money still takes the initiative to send it to the door, and of course the official has to collect it, but he is really uneasy. ”

Cheng Fang noticed that when Mao Wenlong spoke, no one dared to interject or make any expressions, and the smile on Zhang Pan's face, who had been very happy just now, also froze, and Chen Jisheng, who had been talking and laughing with him all the time, also made a suspicious look, Cheng Fang felt that Mao Wenlong did an excellent job in controlling his subordinates, and this military town, at least for now, was almost firmly controlled by Mao Wenlong.

Cheng Fang didn't dare to slack off, and after glancing at it, he said to Mao Wenlong: "If it is said that the owner of my family has no selfishness at all, it is not the case. ”

"Oh, let's hear it." Hearing Zhang Han's request, Mao Wenlong breathed a sigh of relief, and felt relieved.

Mao Wenlong is not afraid of owing money, but it also depends on whose money he owes.

Zhang Han, it can be affirmed that the Datong tyrant, the governor has also driven away, from an ordinary businessman to the position of garrison and palm print commander, Mao Wenlong was not as good as Zhang Han two years ago!

The key is that Zhang Han's hand can still reach Jingshi, Liaodong, such a person has always shown goodwill, tens of thousands of silver smashed on Mao Wenlong's head, how could he not have pressure in his heart?

If you are courteous to others, you must ask for something, Mao Wenlong is worried that Zhang Han can't do what he wants!

Cheng Fang smiled and said, "Our main thing is precisely what the adults have here, not only there are, but there are countless of them!" ”

Mao Wenlong said: "Does he want people?" To be honest, I really don't have anything here but a lot of people! ”

Cheng Fang said: "Of course, we have as many people as there are in Datong, but there may be really people in the future." ”

Zhang Han didn't mention this important person, and Cheng Fang just said it in passing, he also knew that Heyusheng's next big strategy was to operate the sea and vigorously develop the power of the sea, and he might really need some manpower.

Cheng Fang continued: "The ship that came over this time was just purchased by our proprietor, and it cost a lot. ”

Mao Wenlong said: "This kind of great fortune ship was originally used for sea trade in the South Seas and to the Japanese Kingdom, and it was expensive. ”

Cheng Fangxi said: "The adult knows, the villain will have to spend a lot less words." The proprietor of my family has always liked to rely on himself and not on others, and it is better to buy a boat than to build it himself. ”

Mao Wenlong groaned: "Could it be that the main thing in your family is Damu?" ”

"Exactly!" Cheng Fang smiled and said, "It's to ask for a big wood." ”

The people present, including Mao Wenlong, all breathed a sigh of relief.

Including the Kuandian area, the area that Mao Wenlong can control and influence now is not much else, but more is the lofty mountains and boundless forests!

This place is also an excellent protection of forests in later generations, with many mountains, lush woodlands, extraordinary scenery, many mountains, many forests, many rivers, and many streams.

Now it is winter, to the beginning of late spring and summer, in the dense mountains and forests, wild fruits, all kinds of nuts, wild vegetables, wild beasts, countless, although it is used to feed hundreds of thousands of millions of people is certainly insufficient, but it is enough to make up for some, Mao Wenlong really did not expect that the countless woodlands, although he can make his men and horses to deal with the Jurchens, but also make it inconvenient for the enemy to mobilize a large army to attack, but it is also a way to make money.

"If you want wood," Mao Wenlong smiled happily: "That's really how much you want!" ”

"Certainly not ordinary wood." Cheng Fang quickly said: "If you want good wood, you want big wood suitable for shipbuilding, and my proprietor will send some people who can build ships over and select them personally." ”

"Little things." Mao Wenlong waved his hand and said, "Everything is on me." ”

Cheng Fang smiled and said: "Leather goods such as deer skins, we also have as much as we want, and they can be discounted." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay to cut down some trees for you to pay off your debts." If you do leather goods or other business transactions, it is a taboo thing, and I can't respond to you for the time being. ”

Cheng Fang said: "The proprietor of my family also knows that the military town is not allowed to be bought and sold, otherwise it will be known by the imperial history and will be impeached." However, the proprietor said that Lord Mao is in a special situation here, and if the Lord plays next year and says that the military salary is difficult, maybe the imperial court will tolerate this matter and authorize the Lord to do some business subsidies. ”

"Hmm," Mao Wenlong said, "If that's the case, the official will consider this matter." ”

Having said that, both sides have all their doubts, and although Mao Wenlong's side is happy, even Cheng Fang also feels that he has successfully completed the task, and his face is also very happy.

At this point, it is natural to unload, Mao Wenlong immediately asked Chen Jisheng to arrange manpower, Chen Jisheng touched his beard, and agreed with a smile, it is okay to do other things, and ask people to carry food, how much they want.

Mao Wenlong smiled at this time, only looking at the big ship in a daze.

"The proprietor of your family is really ambitious...... Mao Wenlong thought that Zhang Han not only bought a ship, but also built it himself, and was not satisfied with his commercial status in the north, and wanted to open up the sea trade in the south.

"The ice has been chiseled." In the distance, there was a cheer from the people on the shore, and large areas of ice were chiseled off the shore and floated towards the water on the other side of the estuary.

"Ice chispers, each of whom will be rewarded with two cakes and a bowl of porridge!" Mao Wenlong was also generous when he got food.

There was a thunderous sound of joy, people spontaneously rushed over, began to help the ship get food and utensils, the seaside became more and more lively, full of vitality, and sprouted on this deserted island.

……

Wang Xinyi had already obtained the edict, went to the relevant yamen to go through the formalities, received the customs defense, and borrowed a large amount of Beijing debts, and paid off some small sums of money, and the large creditors sent people to follow him out of Beijing, preparing to pay off the money slowly after Datong took office.

This was also the general practice of Beijing officials at that time, because of the small amount of money in Beijing, it was very difficult to support a small family and maintain the dignity of officials, and ninety percent of the officials had to borrow money to survive, until they let go of the foreign difference, or the grade was upgraded, and after mastering greater resources, they could slowly pay off the arrears.

"It's not that I don't know," Wang Xinyi's confidants and aides smiled beside the sedan chair: "The arrears over the years, just those garment shops, boot shops, grocery stores, and restaurants, add up to nearly three hundred taels of silver, as well as the sedan chair room, car shop, and grain store, adding up to nearly two hundred taels." Coupled with the loans from the money store, the total is more than 1,000 taels. This time, Dongweng was released, and it was an important place like Datong, so I was finally able to clarify these old debts. ”

"The old debts are gone, and there are new debts." Wang Xinyi is usually full of righteousness, and he might as well say some business experience in front of his own people, he frowned and said: "It's not so easy to go this time." ”

The staff glanced at the attendant a few steps away, the person was a follower sent by a big bank, and he said in a low voice: "Dong Weng should do things, and he should collect some of them." Dong Weng is high-spirited, not greedy, but to get some money to pay off the arrears, others are always difficult to say anything. ”

Wang Xinyi was a little upset, waved his hand, and signaled the staff member not to continue.

The disappointment in the other party's eyes Wang Xinyi also saw it in his eyes, and he felt a little sorry.

Ordinary officials hire staff masters, some of them are more criminal, some are written and written, some are degree accounting, and some are generalists who know how to pay for soldiers, Wang Xinyi took office this time, and the staff followed the master's family, and a very small number of them wanted a future, such as Mao Yuanyi followed Sun Chengzong, most of them were trying to get rich, this time Wang Xinyi took office, but the main task was to deal with Zhang Han, from this point of view, most of them were going to disappoint the master and his family.

The sedan chair shook and stopped in front of the side door, and when the doorkeeper opened, Wang Xinyi got off the sedan chair leisurely and walked inward.

Although Wang Wenyan has no official status, the main gate of his house is not something that Wang Xinyi can walk.

After passing the instrument gate and arriving at the eaves of the main hall, Wang Wenyan rarely stood under the eaves of the corridor to greet him.
