Chapter 24 County Order to Suppress Bandits - Attack (3)

Of course, the speech script cannot be a temporary performance of Zhao Daxian's order, although Zhao Kang is a junior high school student in a national regular middle school, and his graduation certificate has already been obtained, he is just waiting for the high school entrance examination. But it is still thousands of miles away from the level of speeches of those "master" level professional speakers. Today's performance is all due to the dozens of rehearsals with Chunmei in the bedroom the night before.

However, although the level of this speech was at the "naïve" level, it still moved the group of militia soldiers who were as simple as white paper at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the roar of more than 1,000 people below made Zhao Kang feel a deafening feeling:

"Lord Zhao will win! Lord Zhao will win! ......”

It lasted for several minutes before everyone's voices gradually became quieter. At this time, Chen Erdian was wearing a set of black riot clothes brought by Zhao Kang from modern society, carrying a machete also brought by Zhao Kang at his waist, ran up to the stage and knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Kang, and said loudly: "If you go back to the county lord, the Fugu County People's League has been prepared and can set off at any time!" ”

At this time, Cheng You Wanxiong, a county who had returned to Fugu from Yulin, brought two bowls of wine and handed them to Zhao Kang and Chen Erdian respectively. Zhao Kang took the wine and said loudly: "I hope that General Chen will return triumphantly as soon as possible!! After speaking, he drank a large bowl of wine. Of course, Chen Erdian's bowl is the real wine, and Zhao Kang's bowl is just well water.

Chen Erdian drank the bowl of genuine wine and replied loudly: "I promise to complete the task assigned by the county lord!" ”

Then Zhao Kang loudly announced: "All soldiers, go now!" ”

Seeing the large army marching towards the Wujiazhuang in the south, Zhao Kang breathed a sigh of relief. Zhao Kang thought to himself: It should be more reasonable to hand over the rough work of fighting and killing to a professional like Chen Erdian to do.

And what should Zhao Kang and Zhao Daxian do in the county? Do you need to ask? Counting the money, of course!

Zhao Kang, who came back to the county government, immediately called Zhao Fugui and asked, "This is how much money did You Wanxiong bring to us when he came back from Yulin?" ”

Zhao Fugui replied: "This time, it is a total of 20,000 taels of silver and 5,000 taels of gold. However, Lord You said that the gold in northern Shaanxi had been exchanged by the You family, and they could only use silver to buy salt in the future. The young master has to prepare early. ”

For Zhao Kang, this is definitely big bad news. This means that it will be difficult to exchange gold directly for money in modern society in the future. The lack of money means that soon the refugees in Fugu County and the sergeants of the militia will be without food. The lack of food means that those refugees will be transformed into disaster victims, and the disaster victims will be transformed into thieves in a short time, and now there are more than 100,000 refugees in the entire Fugu County, and 100,000 anti-thieves will attack Fugu, what is the concept? Zhao Kang didn't dare to think about it.

I haven't thought about it for a long time and haven't come up with any good way to solve this problem, and the only way is to go directly to other provinces to buy food with silver. But if this is the case, the amount of silver needed will be more, and relying on the You family to help them sell salt will definitely not be able to keep up with the consumption of food. Zhao Kangxin said: It's really a dog, a person with golden thighs like a crossing artifact will actually be poor to death!

So he asked, "Fugui and Chunmei, you two help me think about it, is there anything valuable on my territory in this Fugu County?" ”

Chunmei shook her head, and Zhao Fugui said with a bitter face: "Young master, the bark and grass roots in Fugu have been gnawed away by those refugees, where is there anything valuable...... Why don't you write a letter to the lord in Suzhou and ask him to help him think of a way? I want to come to the house for 70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver, and I can still get it. ”

Zhao Fugui's words really scared Zhao Kang, what do you mean by "70,000 or 80,000 taels of silver can still be taken out"? His cheap dad is a landlord and old wealth. If it was during the land reform period, it would definitely be the first batch of people to be defeated.

But after thinking about it carefully, forget it, I fell from the sky and stoned someone's legitimate son to death, occupied other people's rooms, robbed other people's henchmen, and now I have to spend other people's money, which is really immoral. Although Zhao Kang thinks that he is a very shameless person, he still can't do such a thing.

"Don't mention the matter of asking for money from the family, anyway, your young master and I are also an upright seven-grade official, how can I ask the family for money? You guys have to think carefully about how to think about what is worth. ”

Zhao Fugui said: "In fact, if the coal produced in Fugu can be transported to our hometown of Suzhou, it should also be very popular." ”

"Coal?" Zhao Kang was overjoyed, this was an amazing resource. His own time and space shuttle ring comes with 100,000 cubic meters of space, all of which are used to load coal, not to mention tens of thousands of tons, which is a good way to make money. And coal is different from gold, gold is really valuable, but if you bring too much back, it is difficult for you not to be checked by the water meter, and every time you trade, you are worried about it, very uncomfortable. Coal is different, modern essential consumables, smelters, power stations, everything, much safer than selling gold.

Zhao Kang, who had an idea, immediately asked: "Zhao Fugui, now in our Fugu County, are there many refugees who have not been arranged to work, and they are waiting for relief at the gate of the county government all day long?" ”

Zhao Fugui said: "Yes, young master, and there are more and more people, and the construction site outside the city can't use so many people at all." ”

Zhao Kang said: "From today onwards, you are going to arrange for those refugees to build roads for the young master and me, of course, first of all, you must pick out the number of four strong and healthy battalions to join our militia." As for building roads, first of all, I will repair from the county seat to the coal mountain, and issue a notice, saying that the young master I want to buy coal, whether they are people carrying horses and camels, or using ox carts and wheelbarrows to pull them, anyway, as long as they are transported to the county, every 50 catties of coal can be exchanged for a catty of rice, anyway, those refugees are idle, instead of waiting for relief at the gate of the county government every day, it is better to dig coal for this young master! In exchange for the coal, you will build a warehouse outside the city and pile it for me. ”

"And send more people to our surrounding Shenmu, Yulin, Jiazhou, Suide, Mizhi and other places that have been seriously affected and have many refugees to publicize. Let's just say that our Fugu County recruits a large number of coal miners. We'll take as much as we want. As for the food problem, you don't have to worry, I have my own solution. ”

Although Zhao Fugui looked puzzled and didn't understand what the young master was doing with buying so much coal, he still didn't ask, but just replied: "Yes, young master, I will definitely arrange it properly." ”
