(Today the fourth chapter is delivered, asking for support.) ）

Lian Zining sat in the hall, and Shi Dazhu took the soldiers' albums, salary books, and documents and seals of the Chenzi Institute, and let Lian Zining look at them one by one.

That seal is the seal of a hundred households, although there are no hundred households in Chenzi, but that is a matter of recent years, when the flag bearer guard followed Taizu Chengzu to fight in the south and the north, the hundred households naturally also have, and the seal of the hundred households has been handed down, and now it is managed by Lian Zining. Lian Zining's current job is the general banner of Chenzi, but there is another title behind him, that is, to be in charge of hundreds of households! This is in charge of 100 households, which belongs to low jobs and high allocation. In the final analysis, it is also Dai Zhangpu in order to promote him, now he is in charge of 100 households, and if he wants to be promoted to 100 households in the future, it is also justified, otherwise his words, just raise the general flag and turn to 100 households, Rao is Dai Zhangpu can almost be said to cover the sky with one hand, but it is inevitable that others will have complaints.

Lian Zining took a general look at these things, and asked Shi Dazhu, how many people are in the institute now, what are the storefronts in the town that make money, and who are the people to deal with in peacetime.

Shi Dazhu listened to Lian Zining's old question, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he answered them one by one.

Since the masters of the Bannerman Guard live in this town, it is naturally not voluntary labor, and the joint defense team members of later generations also extort some benefits from time to time, and the Bannerman Guard, as the pro-army of the Son of Heaven, is even more blatant. For example, in towns like Liu Town, Daxing County and Wanping County are a little far away, and they are also poor here, so they are not stationed to collect taxes, and this time it is cheaper than the 100 households of the flag guard. The government is too poor, and it's good for our flag bearers to have a boundary to reap benefits, we are not too poor!

As a result, the 100 households of the Bannerguard replaced the function of the local government, and over time, the management was formed, and the large shops in these towns paid some regular money to the 100 households of the Bannerguard every month, which was the protection fee to put it bluntly. The soldiers of the standard-bearer guard have the obligation to protect the place and lock up the thieves.

After listening to it, Lian Zining understood that he was covering the sky with one hand in this official Liu Town, what is this? The secretary of the town party committee and the mayor of the town and the head of the police station?

There are 50 people on the roster, and there are actually 37 soldiers, including three Xiaoqi, in addition to Shi Dazhu, there is also Wang Mazi who shirks his responsibilities, and the other is called Liu Liangchen, who is the unlucky ghost who charged ahead and was dislocated by Lian Zining's wrist.

"Wei Xiaoqi, I see that you are in disheveled clothes, what's the matter, what about military uniforms? What about armor? And what about the weapons, and your swords? Lian Zining asked, the unicorn uniform is a grace given by the Holy Emperor to the standard-bearer, but it can only be worn by officers above the rank of captain, and most of these people are estimated to have none.

Shi Dazhu was stunned for a moment, and said bitterly: "Adults, you don't know, we are bitter children, grandma doesn't care about what uncle doesn't love, and I don't care, and the adults in the guard don't care, let alone military uniforms and armor, even the military salary hasn't been paid for more than two years!" I don't know if it was given to the top to eat, but if it weren't for the town's usual money, the brothers would have starved to death! ”

"So miserable?" Lian Zining frowned, he didn't expect the situation to be even worse than he imagined.

"My lord, not really!" Shi Dazhu looked around, lowered his voice and leaned in, and said mysteriously: "Although our brothers look down, it is not impossible to reap benefits here. ”

"Oh?" Lian Zining's eyes lit up: "Tell me!" ”

"This official Liu Zhen, don't look at the outside, in fact, there is meat inside! In this town, there are two shops selling rice, flour, grain and oil, three restaurants, five inns, and two courtyards. These silver brothers divide it, and each person can always have one, two, three, or four dollars. Shi Dazhu said with a smile.

Lian Zining couldn't help laughing: "One or two pieces of silver, you are satisfied?" It's really ......."

"What else? However, Shi Dazhu said again: "My lord, your way to make money is not here. ”

Lian Zining kicked him: "Don't sell it, say it quickly!" ”

"Gotcha!" Shi Dazhu ate his kick, but he became happy, which shows that the adults have regarded you as their own, he said: "In our town, the real fat is the big seller of smuggled salt!" ”

"Selling smuggled salt?" Lian Zining's eyelids jumped, this is a big crime of killing the three clans, but he didn't expect that this town is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger!

"The king of our town, the mansion is continuous, the slaves are in groups, and there are thirty or forty fierce thugs under his command, and our brothers are not opponents. It's all from Jiaodong, it's cheaper than elsewhere, and it's whiter! I heard that there is a reliance behind the Wang Dahu, we are the head snake here, he also has to scruple three points, and we will not be able to eat enough if some benefits can be revealed in the fingers every year! ”

Shi Dazhu showed Lian Zining the way.

Lian Zining's eyes flashed, you are mixing in Lao Tzu's territory, and you want to send Lao Tzu away with a little leakage in your fingers, you can't help but think too easily.

He didn't ask idiotic questions such as why no one cares about selling smuggled salt here, but said: "Then according to the usual practice, how much silver should the Chenzi Institute pay to the military department every year?" ”

"According to the usual practice, such a suburban town in Beijing should be two hundred taels!" Shi Dazhu pouted: "I don't know how many years I haven't paid it, we are all poor to death, how can we have the money to hand it over to him?" We can't do anything about it. ”

Lian Zining nodded, he now roughly understood the reason why Dai Zhangpu threw himself here, it was nothing more than to get a bad place to investigate his ability. And he can't let this benefactor down, and the first step is to collect the usual money for the military department.

The premise of all this is that there must be money, and with money, you can hand over the usual money to the Ministry of War, and with money, you can arm these messy guys under your hands at least a little bit like people.

When Lian Zining came here, he never thought of being confused, he had to firmly grasp this opportunity.

"Now, how much balance do we have in hand?" Lian Zining asked again.

"Balance?" Shi Dazhu cried and said with a sad face: "How can we still have a balance, a few days ago, the previous Xiao Zongqi was drunk at night and accidentally fell into the water and died, and all the usual silver of this month that had just been collected was thrown into the water, and the brothers went down to the river to catch half a sound, and they didn't find a fart, and now they are poor and can't open the pot, where is the balance?" ”
