422 Seized money, the proceeds of war
(Today's first chapter, there will be another chapter later, at least 8,000 words today, by the way, ask for a ticket)
He sighed and waved his hand: "It's up to you, what are the other two things?" ”
Hong Chaojiao didn't want to continue this topic anymore, this adult didn't care about what was rumored in the outside world, he was really a lawless and ruthless person in his bones, maybe there would be some heart-wrenching thoughts. (.la good-looking)
He had the intention to enliven the heavy atmosphere, and continued: "In addition to this matter, the other two things are what adults want to hear. ”
"Oh?" Lian Zining raised his eyebrows: "It seems that you haven't done much good to come to me these days except to ask for money, but this time it's changed?" ”
Hong Chaojiao smiled awkwardly and said, "The second thing is that the straight road you ordered to build, the section of Xishenwei, was completed three days ago. ”
"The straight is finished? That's a good thing. Lian Zining had a smile on his face.
If you want to get rich first build roads, although the sentence is simple, but what it says is indeed very reasonable, Lian Zining also knows this, only by getting the traffic up, the speed of material circulation is accelerated, and the economy will naturally develop. As early as a few years ago, after taking full control of the ground of Xishenwei, he ordered the construction of a straight road - the so-called straight road has the meaning of a highway in this era.
There are two straight roads, starting from Xishenwei, one of which connects Qileniwei and Kaolang Wuwei all the way to the southwest, and focuses on the distance of 50 miles from Kemuwei, which is roughly along the south bank of the Songhua River all the way to the west. The length of this road is about three hundred and fifty miles.
The other one starts from Qileniwei and connects Manggita City and Yaoqi Station to the Asu River. This road is about 170 miles long.
Lian Zining wanted to build a Xishenwei to Mangjita City, but there were dense forests between the two, which was difficult to build, but there were plains between him and Qileniwei. It's more convenient.
The straight road should be cut and straightened as much as possible to form a straight line.
At that time, Qin Shi Huang also built a straight road, but it was a big deal, more than 3,000 miles long. Fifty steps wide, that is, seventy-five meters, a green pine tree is planted every five zhang away on the roadside for passers-by to rest and enjoy the shade. The entire road surface is built of loess, which is tamped with a sledgehammer, which is very strong, and even in Shaanxi, there are still some remnants of the straight road until 2,000 years later.
Lian Zining is now nothing more than the ground equivalent of a prefecture. With limited financial resources, it is naturally impossible to do so.
The two roads, a total of 520 miles long, are two feet wide, and the soil is also compacted, and in order to prevent the rain from soaking and becoming muddy, a layer of small stones is paved on them.
The road was not very wide, but it was enough for several carriages in parallel. In fact, such a project is already very huge.
The people were all requisitioned on the spot, and the peasants were interested in building roads in front of their homes. They all have a lot of enthusiasm, and of course, one of the more important reasons is that the general office in charge of this matter will pay a lot of money. It is almost a big project with the participation of the whole people, and it took four or five months to complete it from the beginning of the Chinese New Year to the present.
However, it is a good thing that I can finish it.
"How much did it cost?" Lian Zining asked.
Hong Chaojiao glanced at Lian Zining and said cautiously: "One hundred and sixty-eight thousand four hundred taels." ”
He was afraid that Lian Zining would use it too much. But he didn't expect Lian Zining to be surprised: "So little? ”
Accustomed to the tens of millions of Lian Zining who built a kilometer of road in later generations, he really didn't expect that the road of more than 500 miles would cost less than 200,000 taels.
"Okay, Lao Hong, now I know how to save money." Lian Zining quipped: "But this errand can't be stopped." Right now, we are about to fight on the ground of Kemu Mountain, and after we defeat Kemu Mountain, there will be no more obstacles on the way from Xishenwei to Zhubang City. When this battle is over, I will allocate you some silver taels to build the road all the way to the great city of Zhubang, understand? ”
"Xia Guan understands!" Shangguan was so generous, Hong Chaojiao's heart also rose, and said: "There is one more thing that makes you happy, hehe, we have been sending money out like water in the first few battles, and now we have finally reaped some benefits."
"You mean, seizure?" Lian Zining asked.
"That's right!" Hong Chaojiao: "We have successively conquered four cities, and the Qileniwei are all tatters, and you ordered them to be distributed to the people on the spot. But in the treasury of the Kaolang Wuwei, there are a lot of good things. After Cao Xi and those thousands of households died, their mansions were also raided, and we have been counting them these days. Recently, the collection has been clear, there are a total of 74,000 taels of silver, 500 pieces of silk, a number of antiques, and a number of jade, which have not yet been discounted. ”
Lian Zining nodded slightly, he has seen hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels of big scenes, these are not too careful, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, and this money can always subsidize the family a little.
"That's not a big deal!" Hong Chao smiled and said, "The point is what Nurhachi commanded the envoy to bring back from the forest. ”
"That's right! And this stubble! Lian Zining patted his head, he almost forgot about it.
Hong Chao said as a number of treasures: "There are a total of seven wild Jurchen tribes that were wiped out by Nurhachi, of which countless were seized, a total of 17,456 28 coins of sand gold, and more than 3,000 mountain ginsengs, of which there are 760 old ginsengs that are more than 100 years old, 53 are more than 500 years old, and 7 are more than 1,000 years old!" These alone are already invaluable, and there are also 2,400 fine Northeast war horses, more than 15,000 fine beast skins, and 700 catties of antlers, and the rest are not counted. ”
These gains made Lian Zining smile on his face, although it costs money to fight, but if the war money is raised, it will also be a lot of money.
Hong Chao smiled and said, "Xiaguan wants to ask, how are you going to deal with these things, my lord?" ”
"Needless to say? Let's put it in the house first! Lian Zining's words without hesitation made the smile on Hong Chaojiao's face froze, he was still thinking about how to use the remaining money after selling these things - he had even already calculated that he would definitely have to support Wu Yijun, but the rest was enough to do a lot of things.
"My lord, you can't help it......" Hong Chaojiao's face turned a little dark, and he still didn't dare to say it after all.
"What? Lao Hong, do you have an opinion? Lian Zining looked at him with a frown.
Hong Chaojiao said stiffly: "There are many places to spend money now, but the adults have put these things into the private treasury, and the lower officials think that this move is inappropriate for the great cause of the adults." ”
"Where did you think you went?" Lian Zining was unhappy in his heart, but when he heard that great cause, this displeasure disappeared, and he knew that Hong Chaojiao was planning for himself, so he smiled and said: "Lao Hong, you can also see clearly these days, Wu Yijun spends money everywhere, where does the money come from?" The ones allocated by the imperial court are not enough at all, and they are all paid by the officials themselves, can you see that I have been a little hesitant and stingy? These things, the official into the private treasury, in order to send to the capital to sell, take those old ginseng as an example, in the northeast, although there are few, it is not uncommon. But when it is transported to the capital, it is a priceless treasure that can hang your life, and a piece can be sold for a sky-high price! There are also those antler furs, which can be sold for a lot of money in the Kannai, and they are far more affordable than selling them on the spot. ”
Only then did Hong Chaojiao realize that he had misunderstood, his face was hot, and he quickly apologized.
Lian Zining smiled: "I know that you are also kind. ”
He smiled and nodded vaguely: "Even if I look ugly, I have to wait until the great cause is completed." ”
Hong Chao understood in his heart.
As soon as Hong Chaojiao left, Wang Dachun came over with a smile again, and Lian Zining sighed, he really didn't have much of his leisure time now.
Wang Dachun said: "There are also some things to report to the adults under the mark. ”
"Say it!"
"Since last year, until now, we have made five transactions with Fu Yuwei, an average of once every two months, which can be regarded as frequent. Especially since the beginning of winter, the white plague is rampant on the prairie, and the place where Duoyan Sanwei lives is located on the edge, which has been less affected, but there are still some losses, so the scale of the last few transactions is extraordinarily large. Nowadays, there are more than 14,000 good horses traded from Fuyuwei, all of which are of good teeth, over one year old, and can be ridden with a little taming. In addition, our caravan was on the road again yesterday and is expected to be back in a month......"
Talking all the way, soon arrived at the manor.
Although Lian Zining's fields are Dai Xian's great gift, but the person in charge of guarding the grange is the Ilgen Jueluo Division, they are different from other wild Jurchen tribes, the whole clan has submitted to Lian Zining, and he is considered his servant subordinate, and he can do these errands.
But speaking of which, Lian Zining is really good to them, he doesn't treat them as tenants, and they distribute land according to the rules of the Han people, but these lands are all handed over to them with land deeds, that is, this is their property. The center of Lian Zining's land is a large manor, and Ilgen Jueluo lives in Lian Zining's manor, which is like a small city, becoming a village of its own.
The manor house was large, miles in circumference, and had a high wall built outside, like a small castle.
Ayisuli and a group of people from the Ilgen Kyora tribe were already there to greet him.
Seeing Lian Zining and others coming, Ying Ying bowed down: "The slave has seen the master." ”
This woman is also really able to let go of her figure, and now her son is also a dignified commander, in front of people, in front of Lian Zining, but he still always calls himself a slave, this is like a morning and dusk to ask for peace these days, and it has never changed. (To be continued)
