Chapter 46: The First Financial Crisis

"Don't mention Maitreya's words!" Zhu Bayi frowned, and waved his hand vigorously, "I also read it from elsewhere, so I copied it by hand, and it has nothing to do with gods and ghosts!" ”。

As a man who has fused the soul of the twenty-first century, the last thing he likes to do is pretend to be a ghost. However, the more this is the case, the more everyone thinks that he has a good background. Whenever I saw him do something new, I would put it on Maitreya Buddha as a matter of course.

This time, the result was the same. When the craftsmen heard his words, they immediately looked at each other and agreed in unison, "Yes, the governor said that he would not mention it, and the little ones would not mention it!" In the future, if someone asks, the little ones will say that they have figured it out by themselves, and they will never dare to let this thing have anything to do with the governor! ”

"Whew!" Zhu Bayi exhaled depressedly, but he was helpless to deal with these people. I had to try my best to draw everyone's attention to the drill bit. Squatting on the beach, he picked up a straw stick and drew a picture slowly, and said in a low voice: "When drilling, don't hold the iron rod itself." After a long time, people's hands will definitely move, and as soon as the hands move, the holes will definitely be crooked. Make a wooden stool with a hole under the drill bit, stick an iron rod into the hole, and then clamp it with a stick of wood from all sides, and nail the stick of wood fastened. Finally, take the drill bit and drill it from top to bottom, try a few more times, and you will definitely be able to drill a straight hole in the iron bar! ”

"Yes, Du Du this method, definitely can!" The craftsmen nodded frequently, and were moved to tears by the Buddha's behavior of risking his life to leak the "heavenly machine" to the world.

Zhu Eighty-one didn't know that he had become a powerful man comparable to Prometheus in Western legends, and felt that the only stock in his stomach had almost been emptied, so he stood up and ordered loudly: "Then you can build a few more waterwheels by the river, and bring water hammers and drilling machines together." If you can drill out the iron pipe, try to polish the inside of the iron pipe, and can you also push it with a water wheel. Anyway, within half a month, I hope to get the first finished product! ”

"Yes! Rest assured, Lord Governor, in five days, the little ones will be able to let you see the first iron pipe! "All the craftsmen are old craftsmen, how can they be stumped by the remaining details?! Immediately bow down in unison and swear to complete the task ahead of schedule.

One step closer to his musket dream, Zhu Bayi was in a very happy mood. waved his hand to everyone, led his own soldiers, and went back to his house to wait for the good news.

When I woke up early the next morning, I just wanted to go to the workshop again to see the water hammer and drilling machine in action. Xu Hongsan, the captain of the pro-soldiers, came in to report, saying that Su Changshi and Yu Sicang had come to ask for a meeting.

"Just bring the two of them in! How many times have I told you, Su Changshi can come at any time if he wants to see me, no need to communicate in advance! Zhu Bayi glared at Xu Hongsan and reiterated unhappily.

"Yes!" Xu Hongsan agreed aggrievedly and ran out quickly to lead people. Seeing this, Zhu Eighty-one immediately understood that it was probably Mr. Su himself who insisted on asking Xu Hongsan to come first, so he smiled helplessly and walked to the door to greet him.

Although Mr. Su had calculated him, it was just to save his life at that time. Later, he served him before and after the saddle, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with the words "loyal". Especially in the fierce battle outside Xuzhou, the old liar actually changed his previous habit of being timid and afraid of death, and followed him closely behind him with a pole and spear, and did not say a word "retreat" from beginning to end.

This moved him, and naturally gave birth to a lot of respect in his heart. is to no longer be vigilant everywhere, and treat Su Changshi as his own person. And Su Changshi also knew that except for Zhu Bayi, no one would be so concerned about him in this life, so he did his best even more, and secretly vowed that he would rather fight to pieces, and he would definitely assist his own lord to achieve a king's cause!

But today, Mr. Su obviously came with a stomach full of resentment. As soon as he saw Zhu Eighty-one's face, he didn't even give a salute, he bent down, raised an account book above his head with both hands, and said loudly in his mouth: "I am a lowly person, and I don't dare to eat anymore." The post of the commander of the left army, and the governor is also bothered, please be smart! ”

"Where did this come from?" When Zhu Eighty heard this, he immediately knew that the old guy was picking on him. Hurriedly held Su Changshi's arm with both hands, "Come, don't worry, sit down and talk slowly about something." If there's something I've done that isn't right, you point it out to your face. We've all lived and died together."

Hearing the words "live and die together" from Zhu Bayi's mouth, Mr. Su's eyes immediately turned red. stubbornly took half a step back, shook off the other party's support, and said in a choked voice: "The governor knows the grace of the encounter, even if Su dies ten times in his life, he will not be able to repay it." However, the lives of more than 6,000 soldiers of the left army all fell on this thin account book. So Su, Su, don't dare to eat a vegetarian meal anymore, please, please find another master! After Su, he will be a personal soldier in the future, and lead the horse to fall for the adult! ”

"Nonsense!" Seeing that the old guy was wronged like this, Zhu Eighty-one was angry again. stepped forward and snatched the account book, and threw it into Si Cang Yu Changlin's arms. Then he grabbed Mr. Su with both hands and threw him directly into the chair he often sat on. "Sit down, there's something to talk about. If you resign and threaten the governor of Pontus, the governor will raid your house and destroy your people! ”

"Ugh!" Mr. Su was so frightened that he couldn't cry immediately. Zhu Bayi glared at him again and ordered loudly: "Hurry up, what's wrong?!" Don't go around the bend with me, if you have that kung fu to play dumb riddles with you, I might as well go to the school and run a few laps! ”

"Humble, humble!" Mr. Su opened his mouth and shed tears before he spoke. Seeing this, Yu Changlin, who was standing next to him and never spoke, had no choice but to salute Zhu Eighty-one and said loudly: "Don't blame Lord Dudu, Changshi's actions are a little rude, but it is also for the long-term plan of the left army. At present, the money and food in the treasury are only enough for ten days. Ten days later, the left army will have no copper coins to use, and the soldiers will probably go hungry! ”

"What?!" Zhu Bayi was taken aback, and he didn't care about comforting Mr. Su anymore, so he narrowed his eyes and asked, "How can this be?" Zhao Changshi's side, did he deduct the food and salary of the left army again? ”

"Zhao Changshi's side, but he hasn't detained our left army again!" Yu Changlin shook his head and reported truthfully, "But recently, Lord Du Du has been rewarding craftsmen, making pipes from copper, and spending money to buy all kinds of secrets from other craftsmen, and the price set is unheard of. Therefore, the warehouse of the left army is "

"That's just a few bucks? And I didn't let them touch the food?! Before Chang Lin finished speaking, Zhu Eighty-one interrupted loudly. Recently, he was in a hurry to get out the firearms, and before the army of the Mengyuan court was equipped with muskets, he first equipped the soldiers under his command. So the money is a little ruthless, but it is not so ruthless that it actually spends the public funds of the left army!

"Your Excellency, you really didn't let anyone touch the food!" Yu Changlin was not in a hurry, and slowly calculated the detailed account with Zhu Bayi, "But the military rations allocated by Zhao Changshi are calculated according to each soldier's daily work and auxiliary soldiers' work of two jobs, and occasionally a few more stones, but there are only a handful." But our left army, from top to bottom, including the auxiliaries who do not need to go to the battlefield, is doing two things a day. And you can eat it with an open belly, so that the daily food consumption is more than 50% out of thin air! In the past, when I had money in my hand, I could buy some from the vendors. Recently, there are less than 200 yuan left in the warehouse, and now it is a time when there is a shortage of money, and the price of grain has soared several times. The grain that can be bought with 200 copper coins will be distributed to 6,000 soldiers, and each person will not even be half a catty, and the meal will be over! ”

"So much? The reward that General Manager Li gave to the left army last time, in addition to the divided, there should be some left, right? Zhu Eighty-one heard a burst of wood on his forehead, and asked unwillingly.

"Last time, Governor Li gave a reward to the left army, and according to the order of the governor, he gave five times to each of the brothers who died in the battle to burn money, and four times to each of the brothers who were seriously injured and disabled. The rest of the soldiers who follow you to kill the low, as long as they survive, they will each be three times. Add to that the cost of building grenades, the cost of repairing armor, and the cost of building weapons for the soldiers during this time," Yu Changlin said as he slowly flipped through the ledger. Line by line, he pointed out to Zhu Eighty.

"That's it!" Whether it is Zhu Dapeng, an otaku in the 21st century, or Zhu Laofu'er, a pig-killing man in the 14th century, he has no interest in the account book, and he only glanced at it hastily, and he felt dizzy. sighed and said loudly: "If it's gone, it's gone!" Lao Su, you go to my house to take a look, if there are any antiques and calligraphy paintings that can be sold, just take them out and sell them. That thing can't be eaten and can't be worn."

"The calligraphy and painting market in this area of Xuzhou is about to let you smash it to the end!" Mr. Su immediately jumped up from his chair as if he had installed a spring, and protested loudly, "No matter how good the antique calligraphy and painting is, if it is sold openly like yours, it will not be able to sell for a price." Besides, fearing that the Mongols would come and slaughter the city, the rich families in Xuzhou rushed to move elsewhere. How can you still be in the mood to buy any antique calligraphy and painting collections?! ”

Then find a few reliable brothers and take them elsewhere. There can't be wars everywhere, right?! Zhu Ba scratched his head helplessly, and said abruptly, "Otherwise, look at the land under my name?" Didn't Manager Li give me more than 10,000 acres last time? Do you go to the dental store to register and see if someone buys or sells? ”

Whether it is sesame plum or Zhao Junyong, they have a very strong fetish for collecting land. On the day of the city's breaking, the largest group of landlords and ranchers in Xuzhou City, Mongolian Daru Huachi and a group of Han officials, were killed. The land and property that these guys have seized for many years have all fallen into the hands of the Red Turban Army. Sesame Li couldn't bear to let so many fields be abandoned, so after the beginning of spring, he simply gave a large piece to each general above the commander according to his position. And Zhu Eighty-one made great contributions in the two battles, so the cumulative amount of more than 20,000 mu under one person's name was as high as 20,000 mu, and all the Goryeo prisoners assigned to the left army were sent to farm, but they couldn't be planted!

According to Zhu Eighty-one's own ideas, it is better to sell these lands to others than to be barren in his own hands. Unexpectedly, as soon as his words came out, he was immediately beaten back by Mr. Su, "There is a wasteland outside Xuzhou City, and the chief manager has only set a 20% endowment for the homeless, and whoever prescribes it will be counted." At present, everyone can't finish clearing the wasteland, who will spend money to buy land! Besides, what should I do if I buy land at this time and wait for the soldiers and horses of the imperial court to come over? Those officials of the Mongolian court, who would recognize the deal made by our Red Turban Army?! ”

Antique calligraphy and paintings can't be sold at a price, no one buys the land, and the days of the governor of the left army are also very sad!
