In late October of the third year of Chongzhen, Chang Yanxiao and Cao Shaoqin received a letter from Yang Tingjian, and Yang Tingjian explained very clearly in the letter that Chang Yanxiao was responsible for buying 100,000 catties of iron, worth more than 20,000 taels of silver.

And Cao Shaoqin's task was to immediately organize two thousand blacksmiths and five hundred tailors to be on standby in Tongzhou, this work was relatively easier, as long as Yang Tingjian could give these blacksmiths silver, it would not be difficult to recruit them.

Nanzhen Fusi signed the detention room, Chang Yan looked at Cao Shaoqin with a relaxed face, and asked flatteringly:

"Brother Cao, why don't we change it! You will be in charge of the purchase of iron, and I will organize the recruitment of craftsmen. ”

Although Cao Shaoqin is upright, he is not stupid, how can he be able to laugh with Chang Yan:

"Brother Chang, this shopping errand is the fattest errand, this is Lord Yang's trust in you!"

Chang Yanxiao immediately replied with a sad face:

"Brother, you are wrong, if it was in the past, it may have been fat, but now it is Liangcai who is in charge of the accounts of our Nanzhen Fusi, it is completely impossible to start, not to mention that the money does not go through my hands at all, I am only responsible for contacting and negotiating the price, where is there any oil and water to fish."

This is Yang Tingjian's use of the system to manage people, of course, it is not perfect now, but it has made Chang Yanxiao, an old fritter, feel that there is no chance to be greedy for ink, and such a system will become more and more strict in the future, so that people have no chance to start at all.

Cao Shaoqin smiled and complained after listening to Chang Yan, and smiled noncommittally:

"Brother Chang, I think our Lord Yang, that is a person with a high chest, it is likely to soar into the sky in the future, we are still loyal to do things, don't mention those things that are greedy for ink, besides, Lord Yang gives us a lot of subsidies, at least three times that of our money, why should we be greedy for ink!"

"It's also, it's just that Lord Yang wants so much iron for what! I heard that our Nanzhen Fusi only recruited more than 3,000 people! I don't need 100,000 catties of iron! Could it be that every soldier is equipped with an iron armor, this Lord Yang is too rich! ”

Cao Shaoqin was still like that, not shocked, and said lightly:

"Let's not worry about Shangguan when we are on errands, just do our own errands, otherwise we won't live long."

"Ahh ……”

Although Chang Yanxiao is slippery, but he does not see Cao Shaoqin thoroughly, although Cao Shaoqin and Yang Tingjian have only been together for a few days, they found that Yang Tingjian is different, other Shangguan came to think of making money, but Yang Tingjian instead gave his own money, and the prime minister built his own military force, such a character is either a hero or a hero!

"Brother Chang, let's strive to complete the task assigned by Lord Yang as soon as possible."

"Of course, of course ......"

……

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the folds at this time, and suddenly a little eunuch reported softly, saying that the commander of the Jinyi Guard made Luo Yangxing ask to see him.

Although Emperor Chongzhen abolished the factory guards and limited the power of the factory guards, he still had to rely on the factory guards sometimes. Besides, if the commander of the Jinyi Guard wants to see the emperor, there must be something important to report.

"Let's pass on Luo's cultivation to come in!"

"The minions obey."

A little Luo Yang entered the Qianqing Palace respectfully and reported loudly to Emperor Chongzhen:

"Chen Luo Yang reported to His Majesty, according to the Fusi Zhenfu of Chanan Town, a few days ago, 3,872 coolies such as slender men had been recruited in Tongzhou, including 1,120 people with brocade clothes and 1,120 auxiliary soldiers without establishment, and the rest were all errand soldiers."

Yang Tingjian wants to help Chongzhen to grab silver, and he must have a little force on hand, this Chongzhen Emperor agreed to Yang Tingjian's invitation, but the number of people recruited by Yang Tingjian is a bit large, although there are more than 2,000 people who are unprepared, but they also want the court to pay military salaries!

As soon as he thought that the imperial court would have to pay thousands more people, Emperor Chongzhen, who was almost driven crazy by the silver, felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly asked with a gloomy face:

"Then who will pay for the money and military salary in the future, Yang Tingjian can have a note to explain."

"Wechen has not yet received Yang Tingjian's submission, according to Wechen's knowledge, the silver used in this recruitment is all Yang Tingjian's own pocket, and the cost is about 200,000 taels."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that Yang Tingjian had taken out the silver himself, his face suddenly softened, and Emperor Chongzhen was forced to be helpless by the silver.

"Well, it's okay for Yang Tingjian to be considerate."

Luo Yangxing is not sure what Emperor Chongzhen's attitude towards Yang Tingjian is, so he speaks very tactfully, after all, this Yang Tingjian was appointed by Emperor Chongzhen himself, if you Luo Yangxing doesn't know what to do and impeach Yang Tingjian indiscriminately, isn't that a slap in the face of Chongzhen, Luo Yangxing is not so stupid.

"It's just that Lord Yang Tingjian's military salary is extremely high, with an annual salary of thirty-six taels for the established brocade guards, twenty-four taels for the unstaffed auxiliary soldiers, and even the annual salary for the errand service has reached twenty taels."

Originally, Luo Yangxing wanted to say that Yang Tingjian was suspected of inviting people to buy people's hearts, but Luo Yangxing heard it from Emperor Chongzhen's tone, and Emperor Chongzhen trusted Yang Tingjian, so Luo Yangxing would not be talking too much.

"It doesn't matter if the military salary is sufficient, as long as Yang Tingjian pays out of his own pocket and does not cost the court money and food, let him go!"

In one sentence, Emperor Chongzhen characterized this matter. After the report, Luo Yangxing of course knows what to do, this Yang Tingjian is a celebrity in Chongzhen's eyes, and the emperor doesn't think so, it's a very holy thing! In the future, it is better to embarrass Yang Tingjian, so as not to be blamed by the emperor.

In fact, Luo Yangxing didn't know the relationship between Yang Tingjian and Chongzhen, Chongzhen didn't understand Yang Tingjian's true value at this time, he just wanted him to help him rob the big profiteers in Shanxi who collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and tens of millions of taels of silver were what Chongzhen wanted most.

"It's Your Majesty, and now the thousands of households in Nanzhen Fusi are buying iron materials everywhere in the capital, and the amount purchased is particularly large, I'm afraid there are about 100,000 catties."

Although Chongzhen had never been on the battlefield, and he didn't know how much iron was needed to build a soldier's weapons and equipment, he asked:

"Luo Aiqing, how much iron is needed for a soldier to build a set of weapons and equipment, you can tell me carefully."

Of course, Luo Yangxing didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly answered Chongzhen's question:

"Report to Your Majesty, a soldier needs at least a waist knife or a spear, and he needs five catties of refined iron, and five catties of refined iron need ten catties of pig iron to quench it, so each soldier needs at least ten catties of pig iron.

If the soldiers were to be equipped with armor, they would need 30 to 50 catties of wrought iron, and 10 catties of pig iron could be quenched into 8 catties of wrought iron.

Therefore, an armored soldier and the weapons he uses need at least 50 catties of iron, and Eryang Tingjian can equip about 2,000 armored soldiers if he buys 100,000 catties of iron.

If Yang Tingjian wanted to build his own arrows, he could build 50,000 arrows and equip a thousand armored soldiers. ”
