Chapter 407: There is a bridge across the Yellow River

When you can suddenly wait for the general to be in a bad mood,.

During these days, they have been able to eat good meals every day that they can't usually eat, the big white steamed buns and the rice that is very comfortable to bite into the mouth, plus the supply of vegetables and meat, which makes them feel that this time they are not going to fight, but to enjoy themselves.

Especially at night, when the night is heavy, the person in charge of the night watch can also get a small glass of wine, which seems to be a little less, but much stronger than the wine drunk before, and only a small glass can make the whole body warm from the inside out.

The soldiers have already liked such days one by one, and the only thing that is a little unhappy is that the food of the 1,000 people and hundreds of guards who followed Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan is different from that of themselves and others.

For example, last night, I ate a serving of fish, two servings of green vegetables, eggplant and cucumber, and a bowl of mutton soup.

But the people who came with Zhang Xiaobao ate eggplant and cabbage, meat dishes were braised pork, and a bowl of egg drop soup, braised pork was forgotten, after all, the fish I ate here was called braised fish, although the taste was a little worse.

But eggplant and cabbage are not vegetarian dishes at all, whose vegetarian dish is called meat foamed eggplant? Whose vegetarian dish has shredded meat in it?

Envy or jealousy, but you must never complain.

"I don't complain." A Khitan soldier in charge of the night vigil held a glass of warm wine in his hand, lightly smacked it twice with his tongue, and said to the person next to him who was also keeping vigil, and continued: "This life is worth it, there is meat every day, there is wine at the vigil, since I was a child, I have never drunk such a fucking refreshing wine." ”

The other felt the same way, sniffing the wine glass vigorously with his nose, "It's a pity that tomorrow it will be someone else's vigil, and I will discuss with them that they will not do it, and I will voluntarily undertake the hard work of the vigil."

I'm just afraid now, I'm afraid that I'll follow along the way, come back from winning battles in the local area, leave Zhang Tingshi and Wang to join the army, how will I live in the future, and now I understand why other people's subordinates are so effective and eat well. ”

"Be quiet, don't let people hear it, otherwise even if you don't die, you will lose your skin, I really regret not going to Jili Prefecture to be a soldier, if you bring your family with you, oops...... I don't dare to think about it, I don't dare to think about it. ”

The person who had spoken earlier lowered his voice and looked around nervously to see that no one was paying attention to this side, and then let out a sigh.

Little by little, the two men continued the vigil with their wines, and the same thing played out on different ships.

But suddenly, how could you not hear any news at all? But he didn't have any way, he couldn't let his subordinates not eat the food provided by Zhang Wang's family, so where could he find food to supply his subordinates?

His subordinates are used to eating the food of Zhang Wang's two families, and when they return to the Governor's Mansion in the future, will they have to raise them according to the dishes of Zhang Wang's two families?

"Tell me to go down, let people find someone to buy croton as soon as possible, and when it is about to arrive in Luoyang, it will be handed over there, and once the croton is in hand, it will be used by people."

But suddenly there is a feeling of living like a year, and I can't wait to grow a pair of wings and fly outside to bring Croton back.

The subordinate who had been in charge of the waiter agreed, carefully left the cabin to arrange, and it was also a very troublesome matter to contact the people outside, and when the time came, the croton would have to be sent to various ships, and a single negligence could be discovered.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan have already helped Ke Yu arrange some things, and they are also waiting for the time to come.

"Xiaobao, the matter of Qianzhuang is now stable, do you have any plans for the next step?" Wang Juan lay on the bed, leaned his head on Zhang Xiaobao's shoulder, and whispered.

Zhang Xiaobao knew what Wang Juan was asking, that is, the same interest issue as when the treasury bonds were issued some time ago, and the money bank now saves money without paying any additional fees.

Since the introduction of this measure of the bank, other places that specialize in exchanging money have to think of other ways to collect the funds, and no one wants to go to them to deposit.

At the beginning, there were many shops that wanted to stand up, but with the purchase of a large number of silk by the imperial court, the time was about to end, and they felt the determination and strength of the imperial court.

Seeing that others were going to come and take a large amount of money and transfer it to the bank, they had to exchange and save it without any fees like the Datang bank, otherwise, all the people who deposited money with them would come to withdraw the money together, and they would not be able to afford it at all.

A lot of money has been released in the form of usury, and it has not yet reached the end of the day, and it cannot be collected.

Zhang Xiaobao also delayed the introduction of deposit interest because of this, and he was afraid that the impact on other financial industries would be too great.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xiaobao said to Wang Juan: "Isn't it too early?" You know, once the deposit is interested, then it means that the depreciation of the currency has begun, in order to make the people feel that their money has not depreciated, then the only way to increase productivity is to do so, and we are now rolling out the study of various science and technology, and have not yet taken out the application. ”

"Then take it out." Wang Juan also knows this situation, if the productive forces are not developed, then the depreciation is the real depreciation, the productive forces can keep up, can achieve a balance in supply and demand, the more developed the productive forces, the better people's lives.

"Xiaobao, take it out and the people's life will be better." Wang Juan added.

"If it's better, they won't be satisfied, have they read the history books? I haven't studied it systematically, but I also know the idea of human life, and in the past, it was called just liberation, right? At that time, you could buy a large piece of bean curd for a penny.

What about us then? There is no cent and no hair, a piece of milk curd is a dollar, it is still small, it should be regarded as a currency depreciation, depreciation more than a hundred times, but the money earned at that time was also small, only a dozen yuan a month, we were nearly 10,000 yuan a month at that time, which was low.

But our people at that time complained that prices were expensive, because luxury goods were expensive, and some people made more money, how to say that, it was called ......"

"Do you mean that in order for the people of today to live forever in the happiness of underdeveloped productive forces, and not to allow them to transition to an era of inequality where they can eat a lot and wear beautiful clothes? I disagree. ”

As soon as Wang Juan heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, he pondered that he wanted to do this, but he knew very well that if the development of the times wanted to rely on someone's strength to interfere, he could only delay it, but he couldn't stop it.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head, "I don't agree either, I mean, on the contrary, we have developed the productive forces well, and others do not accept our affection, why bother to release all the technology at once, little by little, we will make a lot of money if we put a little, and the investment in scientific research is a lot."

In order to have more money to invest in the future for the benefit of the people, we need to continue to accumulate a large amount of money, not to burden the imperial court, and not to exploit the working people, so no matter how much interest matters, it can be regarded as a help to the financial counterparts. ”

"Okay, what excuse to make, you just say that you want to make money, it's over, how can the words change flavor when they come out of your mouth, sure enough, there is no good person in business."

Wang Juan was about to be confused by Zhang Xiaobao just now, and only after Zhang Xiaobao finished speaking did he understand that he was just making excuses.

"Yes, who is a good person to do business, they have all gone to be officials, good people, good officials, aren't they?" Zhang Xiaobao muttered.

"I have nothing to say to you, sleep, go over there, don't take your arms away, still on the pillow." Wang Juan also muttered, pulled Zhang Xiaobao's arm and put his head on it.

"It's numb, it's numb, I have to stimulate them tomorrow, so that they can strengthen their thoughts, I heard that some girls get married and have children at the age of thirteen or four, let's be soon, right?"

"I heard that eunuchs don't have to worry about this kind of thing for the rest of their lives, I can help you."

At dawn the next day, Becky and his gang of little guys began to train their hundred teenage guards again, doing morning *** on the deck, shouting and shouting, it was really like that.

The guards brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and the 1,000 sergeants were also trained in a small area, and the other 40,000 people had long been immersed in the aroma of food, which was no worse than that of Gentle Township.

Today's breakfast is meat buns, chopped meat stuffing put some green onions, not waiting to eat it, only to serve, the fragrant fragrance hooks people's drool, plus meat pickles and tofu brain, and leek flowers, eat to the mouth, just like the New Year.

Sure enough, Ke Yu's face became even more gloomy after knowing what he was eating for breakfast today, and the other generals also regretted it in their hearts, and they didn't bring people in person if they knew it, this is their own troops, and they want to win people's hearts when they go back, and they have to spend a lot of money.

The days were spent in a small number of people depressed, a large number of people were happy, and when the fleet came to Luoyang, that small group of people were also happy, waiting one by one to be able to get croton from Luoyang.

The main reason why the boat needed to stop for a day to rest in Luoyang was that Empress Wang's two children needed to be sent to Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's home, and it was impossible for them to take the two babies to fight.

Seeing that Pan'er and the two of them were about to be sent away, Xiaobei was very reluctant to reach out and touch Pan'er's face, and then lowered her head and kissed her, "Good baby, don't worry, it won't take long for my sister to come back with the soldiers to win the battle, and then you can grow up a little bit and take you to swim, it's very simple." ”

Pan'er blinked her eyes, looked at several people curiously, and finally cried.

It's not that they are crying because of parting, but they are not familiar with the people who hug the two of them, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan's mother is so stupid that they have nothing to do, and their children are not around, and now they have sent two little guys, which can be regarded as a relief from boredom.

stayed with Xiaobei and the others for a day, and when the fleet was about to continue moving, he told him to pick up the two children who still knew him alive and left.

As the crying faded away, the fleet embarked on a new journey.

In the cabin, Ke suddenly looked at Luo's big bag of croton there, looked very nervous, and asked the person who went to do the errand: "Have you ever been followed by others?" ”

"No, the small one looked carefully, not to mention the small one was using the excuse of buying other things, who knew that there were so many crotons in the goods brought back?"

The person who did the work shook his head firmly and promised, not to mention that no one else found out, and even if he did, he didn't dare to say it, it would lose his head.

But he suddenly ****** his lips with his tongue, bit and pressed again, and ordered: "Find a way to spread it to other ships, and do it at the same time two days later, if this matter is leaked, then you ......"

"The little one understands, if it is leaked, it is done by the small one person, and it has nothing to do with the general, and the little family will ask the general to take care of it."

How can the person who does the work not know what it means to be sudden, and if something goes wrong, he needs to take the blame himself, even if he doesn't want to, but he doesn't have the right to choose.

"Go ahead, your benefits will be indispensable after the deed is done." But suddenly he commanded again, took a few deep breaths, stopped caring about the croton in the cabin, and walked outside to look at the scenery on the river as if nothing had happened.

Since they were going to the desert, they didn't have to go by land through Jiannan Road, which made Zhang Fang's brothers and sisters very regretful, so they could only find a way to discuss with Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan at that time, let the two of them go home to see, or bring their families over.

Instead of taking the land route, just walk along the Yellow River, to be precise, pass by the side of the capital, and then enter Jingshui.

But suddenly at this time, I was looking at a bridge over the river in shock, and the water of the Yellow River was surging, hitting the side of the boat, and the surging water seemed to be less shocking than the bridge that spanned the two banks.

"What's the name of the bridge?" Ke suddenly looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the bridge, and asked the soldiers guarding this side.

"Back to the general's words, this bridge is called the third bridge of the Yellow River, and it has not been named, the small one has inquired, the name is not simple, if anyone is willing to take out a thousand yuan, you can name the bridge this year, and if you want to continue to name it next year, you must pay again."

The soldier thinks that he usually communicates with others and knows a lot of things.

"The Third Bridge? So there is a first bridge and a second bridge? You have to come up with a thousand pieces of a name? Is anyone really stupid enough to come out? ”

But suddenly he hadn't seen the bridge last time, but this time there is, and it looks like there is more than one, which makes him feel surprised, and what is even more surprising is that he spends money to name it.

The soldier said: "Yes, the first bridge and the second bridge have been named, the first bridge is called Wanzhang Buxing, the second bridge is called Weishui Shipping, general, this bridge was built by the Zhang and Wang families, and the ability of the Zhang and Wang families is really not small, they can build a bridge on the river, and the usual food is good, and yesterday another dish was added." ”

"If you're good, you can eat, it's not small, it's not small." But I really didn't know that the bridge was built by Zhang Wang's two families, and I saw it with my own eyes today, not only did I not have the intention of applauding Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, but my mood was heavier, and the greater the ability of the two of them, the more sad my life in the governor's mansion became.

The imperial court will no longer care about its military strength here.
