Chapter 520: Thoughts
"It should be fine." Zhang Han smiled and said to the people around him, "What do you think should be the next step?" ”
Inside and outside Li Zhuang, there was already a lot of jubilation, people's faces were full of enthusiastic smiles, and they looked at Zhang Han's eyes with more reverence! Many people's feelings vaguely feel that Zhang Han seems to have a "destiny" in his body, of course, no one dares to really think deeply, let alone say it.
In the past few days, the nearby civil and military officials, including Lai Tongxin, a staff general, have come to ask to see Zhang Han, and there are also a lot of businessmen from the nearby chamber of commerce, some of whom have hesitated before, and even threatened to retire businessmen feel extremely regretful, as for those who have withdrawn their shares, they even regret their intestines, and some of them have cheeky people who came to see Zhang Han, naturally there is no possibility of being accepted, they can only sigh and sigh, and they don't even dare to complain, so they leave.
For a day or two in a row, with Li Zhuang as the center, there is a sea of joy everywhere, people can't help but cheer when they see Zhang Han's figure, this pass is extraordinary, there are firecrackers everywhere in the past two days, people meet each other, and their faces show each other's smiles, and Zhang Han, who is in the center of the whirlpool of celebration, has already put his mind elsewhere. Zhang Han was surrounded by Li Mengnian and Xia Xiping, and the Guards Department rushed back many attendant officers, so that the manpower around Zhang Han gradually became sufficient.
Sun Jingting and Li Shenming are still presiding over the overall situation in the east and west, and now that the forts where the two of them are located have already known the news that Zhang Han escaped from danger and returned to Lizhuang, people's hearts should be calm.
Li Mengnian said with a smile: "When I returned to Li Zhuang, my subordinates only knew that the adults had come back to preside over the overall situation, and their mood was settled a lot. ”
Zhang Han just smiled when he heard it, he knew that Li Mengnian didn't mean to be flattered, as the oldest squire officer, Li Mengnian's future did not need to be so inferior, he had been by Zhang Han's side for so long, and naturally knew Zhang Han's temperament.
Xia Xiping was still thinking about it, and Zhang Han also looked at this posterior with a smile...... Although he is not very old on the surface, many people, including himself, have intentionally or unintentionally ignored Zhang Han's age.
"It's a top priority, in fact, it's not an urgent matter...... Xia Xiping said: "It's nothing more than asking about this Xu Dahua's personality and temperament, what his preferences are, and then grabbing the medicine according to the prescription, the adult has opened the door of Eunuch Wei, this Xu Dahua can't wait to ignore it, and he should take care of it." Then after he played back, it was probably fine. However, the subordinates feel that this is just a trivial matter, to put it mildly, Brother Mengnian and I can handle this matter well, the key is that the aftermath of Fan Yongdou and Wang Dengku and others, these people can't help but come out and continue to stir up the situation, and then after Wang Xinyi falls, it is best to operate a cooperative patrol, and the imperial court may also transfer one of Ma Zongbing or Governor Zheng away in order to prevent the slightest, which must also be guarded against. Then, the most critical thing is the war with the Beiyu, and now the news should have been received on the opposite side of Jining Fort, the latest military report is that the Beiyu has not changed for the time being, indicating that they are not sure that the adults have left, and secondly, they are at a loss, and they must have disagreed internally, and how should they influence the Beiyu at the bottom, so that they can continue to fight this battle according to our ideas, which is the most important thing. ”
"Good!" Zhang Han praised: "The layers are clear, organized and reasonable, Xiping has thought about it seriously before." ”
Li Mengnian was ashamed and said: "My lord, I am really not as good as Xiping. ”
Zhang Han said quietly: "Xiping is good at thinking, but he may not be better at doing things than you. Mengnian, you will go to Zhangjiakou for me after a while, preside over the overall situation of the local area, and find out the situation there for me first. ”
Li Mengnian nodded calmly and responded to the voice.
Zhang Han also felt quite comforted in his heart, no matter what, the subordinates he cultivated by himself could be regarded as having really grown up.
He only had time to meet Li Dongxue yesterday, and went to the workshop to meet Li Changnian and others, during this time, and Yusheng was surging, and the situation changed beyond anyone's imagination, but fortunately, there are talents like Li Dongxue, everywhere is orderly, not chaotic at all.
"My lord," Zhang Han was thinking about it, and someone came to report: "Mr. Kong is here." ”
"Okay." Zhang Han stood up and said, "Let's go to the intersection to meet him together, he has been really hard recently." ”
Kong Minxing's return also made Zhang Han feel very happy, in this era, there are as many talents as there are in the imperial examination, as long as the reward is issued, it is more difficult to enter the jinshi, and Zhang Han, who was born in the imperial examination, already wants as much as he wants. However, it is difficult to recruit people from Kong Minxing's background, and it is even more rare to raise people with Kong Minxing's profound attainments in agriculture.
When the wheat harvest was in May, when Zhang Han and his party rode out, they were immediately seen by many people.
The barracks area was empty, with only a few left-behind officers and newly recruited artillery and cavalry training, who were the first to see Zhang Han come out.
The soldiers boiled first, then the officers, and then the camp officer Ren Jing ran over first, followed by all the officers and soldiers.
"Your Excellency!"
Almost everyone ran over together, and under the leadership of Ren Jing, the officers who stayed behind saluted with the recruits.
Zhang Han returned the salute on the horse, and after putting down his arm, he smiled and said: "Everyone turn around, form a column, and return to the barracks to continue training." ”
"Yes, sir!"
Hardly anyone said anything sensational, and the performance and eyes of the soldiers spoke for themselves. There was no one who disobeyed the military order, invited himself to be an escort or invited to the front line, and there was an unbreakable creed in He Yusheng for a long time, that is, soldiers need to obey commands, and now since Zhang Han has decided that they want to stay here, then they can only stay here.
The number of passing merchants has not decreased, and the various products of Yusheng Factory are still absolute hard currency, all kinds of iron are how many are produced, Lingqiu Iron Yard is now mainly to provide pig iron, and the other is to supply refined iron to the Ministry of Industry, Zunhua Iron Yard is mainly selling pig iron, sold to Beizhi and Henan, Shandong everywhere, business is also very good.
Pig iron, grain, cloth, groceries, although only pig iron and iron are the core business of Yusheng, logistics and account bureau are also, but because of the abundant capital, effective logistics, the chamber of commerce in Lizhuang and everywhere has a large number of sources, which makes the goods reserves and quantity of Yusheng far beyond the ordinary firms, these merchants not only have to rely on the logistics and account bureau of Yusheng, but also are attracted by a lot of lucrative goods.
Not only that, as long as you buy goods in Datong, you can first deposit silver in a different place with the place where the Yusheng account bureau is located, come to handle the goods with vouchers, and pay directly with vouchers after the goods are bought, which is also the core competitiveness of Yusheng's grocery business recently.
"Business hasn't been doing very well lately." As soon as Li Mengnian came back, he understood the situation in all aspects, which was also the responsibility of his attendant officer, and in this regard, Zhang Han's praise for him was not wrong.
"It's normal to be bad." Zhang Han smiled back at the businessmen who bowed to him and replied, "If something really happens to me, won't other people's money be wasted?" ”
"Logistics, groceries, pig iron, ironware, everything is good." Li Mengnian said: "The decline in the net income account in May still has an impact, and it is estimated that there is a net income of two or three hundred thousand. ”
In terms of income, except for Tian Jitang, no one has a real specific figure, and Li Mengnian can only say about it.
Zhang Han nodded slightly on the horse, this figure is about the same, counting the hundreds of thousands of taels that the account bureau may lose, the current monthly income should be about 200,000, which is also because the scale of smuggling in the north has shrunk significantly, on the one hand, because of the war, the amount of goods purchased by the Beiyu tribe has decreased by seventy, and on the other hand, because of the harvest of the battle of Guangning, the interest in large-scale purchases is not very great for the time being.
Together with the account bureau, the loss for this month was at least 150,000 taels.
However, Zhang Han is not in a hurry, this kind of loss is still within the range of bearability, the loss of smuggling income has been considered for a long time, and a sufficient budget has been made, as for the loss of the account bureau, it is indeed sudden, but it is not fatal, after all, this turmoil has been resolved, and after Xu Dahua rushed to Datong and captured Wang Xinyi, the investigation below is destined to be symbolic...... Zhang Han has abundant financial resources and manpower, and has the support of all civil and military officials from the governor to the general army and the ordinary garrison, there is no necessary reason, why should Xu Dahua, who is a eunuch, inspect impartially and embarrass Zhang Han and the officialdom of Xuanda?
Moreover, Zhang Han has now climbed on Wei Zhongxian's thigh, and he can be regarded as belonging to the same family as Xu Dahua.
As long as the crisis is lifted, the account business will naturally return to the silver two, and it is estimated that it will be more than before, because now the wheat has been harvested, and the grain merchants around the country are collecting grain everywhere, and the silver position is very large.
Zhang Han fell into contemplation, the account bureau is a core function that he pays attention to, logistics is just his overall planning, early to eat the surrounding of Datong as the core, in fact, whether it is a car or a mule and a horse, or a foot line, these things are available in all parts of the Ming Dynasty, the south is dominated by ships, all kinds of ships to bear the function of transportation or carrying people, in the north of course, it is mainly a car, and a large number of mules and horses are used, due to road reasons, there are also wheelbarrows to carry out long-distance transportation, and Yusheng's car shop is because of the four-wheeled car, This is a core point, and then there are many outlets, good service, safety and security, so that half of the northern transportation industry has eaten, in fact, due to the limitations of the times and technology, the longer the route opened up by transportation and logistics, the higher the cost, including the cost of management and all aspects of the cost are high, so if there is no account bureau to assist, the opening up of new lines can almost stop, just the logistics of this piece, and Yusheng's expansion has reached the limit.
However, the account bureau has always lacked core competitiveness, compared with the previous money and silver number, there is no essential change, just "convenient", this article alone, is not enough to absorb more and larger depositors. And the convenience of deposit and withdrawal, sometimes also by the silver number to provide minted silver and zero deposit and withdrawal, or the whole deposit and withdrawal of the exchange business to offset, the Ming can not help but private silver, silver can provide large silver, can also provide broken silver, and Yusheng's account bureau has no business in this area, which makes some small merchants have to go elsewhere to exchange silver or copper coins, after all, small grain merchants need a large number of auxiliary coins when collecting grain.
Zhang Han already had a faint idea in his heart, and he couldn't wait to have a careful chat with his friends......
