Early the next morning, Wang Dou gathered all the members of the shogunate to discuss the matter, because Sun Chuanting's request for assistance involved a lot of money, and important members of the military, political, civil, and staff departments all participated, and Ye Xizhi took notes.

The document was circulated in everyone's hands, and in the terms, Sun Chuanting asked Xuanfu Town to support money and food, weapons, instructors, praise paintings, experienced officials, and even soldiers, the number of people was 3,000.

The first feeling of everyone is that Sun Chuanting has a great appetite and great courage, this is to copy the model of Xuanfu Town in the whole territory of Shaanxi?

Wang Dou comfortably leaned on his tiger skin chair, took a small pair of scissors to cut off the cloud smoke in his hand, and the tiger master beside him shook the fire fold to light it for him, Wang Dou slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "After reading the book, what do you think?" ”

Wen Fangliang immediately said: "Borrow, why don't you borrow?" Shaanxi cannot afford to lose, and now a good opportunity is sent to the door, how can you not want it? ”

He usually smiles on his face, but when he talks about business, he is full of serious expression, and his handsome face shines with wisdom: "Of course, the money and food of my Jingbian army did not fall from the sky, they were all people's fat and people's ointment, how could Sun Chuanting do it without paying the price?" These Terms must be revised in their entirety. ”

Qin Yi also agreed, as a senior praise painting, he also has the qualifications to attend the meeting, he said: "It is indeed a good opportunity, now the thieves are in Henan, the north can attack Shanxi, the west can attack Shaanxi, the east can attack Shandong, and the north Zhili." Shandong and Beizhili are beyond the reach of our whips, and there is no chance, but Shanxi, will slowly be controlled by the shogunate, basically Mo Nan is worry-free, and the one who is worried is Shaanxi. ”

He said: "If Shaanxi is lost. The thieves will threaten the land of our Hetao, pose a threat to the capital from the flank, and affect the business layout of our division. ”

He finally said: "Shaanxi, my Jingbian army can't be controlled, and it can't fall into the hands of thieves, from this point of view, we must help the Qin division as soon as possible." ”

Wang Dou nodded slowly.

Zhang Gui also said: "After controlling Shaanxi, it will be more convenient to shelter displaced people in the future, and the population of Anbei will increase for me." ”

Tian Changguo said: "Yes, there are still a lot of rich people in Shaanxi, and the silver winter melons in their cellars are also hidden." It's better to send it to the bank. ”

Zhong Zhengxian glanced at Zhong Rong. Seeing that he didn't speak, he didn't speak.

Zhong Xiancai had proposed earlier that the entire Shanxi and Shaanxi should be used as a buffer to the south of the Imperial Protectorate, and of course he would not object to Wen Fangliang's opinion at this time, and said softly: "General." The last general thought that General Wen and Qin Zanhua had a good idea. The last general agreed with them. ”

However, after thinking about it. But said: "Sun Chuanting is not an idle person, how easy is it to control Shaanxi?" Besides, I'll wait until I help him. Do you know if you will raise tigers and fight against me in the future? ”

This is also a problem, everyone is contemplative, Wen Fangliang said: "The current strategy is to stabilize the situation in Shaanxi, everything has advantages and disadvantages, and you can't be afraid of wolves and tigers." ”

He said: "In the future, the Shaanxi New Army will be trained by instructors such as us, and although Sun Chuanting will definitely hold it tightly in his hands in terms of military and political affairs, his army is close to me, and this is one." Shaanxi wants my assistance, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the civil and commercial parties will definitely be infiltrated by me. ”

Wen Fangliang said: "Just like the towns in Datong and Shanxi now, Wang Pu and Zhou Yuji want to make enemies with us, but are their subordinates willing?" Would the local gentry and common people be willing? Besides, the war is about money and food, even if Sun Chuanting has an army in the future, he will not be able to jump out of the Wuzhi Mountain where I protect the mansion. ”

Gao Shiyin said: "Yes, my Jingbian Army is unique, especially that kind of spirit, others can't learn it." Sun Chuanting is tossing in Shaanxi again, and it is also Dongshi's goods, which can compare to our genuine Xishi? ”

Everyone laughed, and Zhong Xiancai laughed when he heard him say something funny.

Zhong Tiaoyang said steadily: "General, assistance is feasible. ”

Nodding to his cousin, Wang Dou picked up the Sun Chuanting document that had been passed to him again and pondered.

……

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone in the hall exchanged heads and whispered, and many people also took out clouds of smoke and smoke.

Perennial battles, many generals are under super pressure, and all of them are very addicted to smoking, only Zhong Xian does not smoke.

When Wang Dou woke up, he saw that Zhong Xiancai was already shrouded in smoke, he thought about it, and said with a smile: "During the meeting, I still didn't smoke." ”

took the lead in extinguishing his Ming Dynasty cigar, and everyone in the hall saw this, some people looked at each other, some people looked at Zhong Xiancai, and they also extinguished the cloud smoke in their hands.

Zhong Xiancai pursed his lips and smiled at Wang Dou.

"Aid is possible, but the approach has to be changed."

Looking at the Chinese book in his hand, Wang Dou said slowly, he looked at Tian Changguo's side: "Lao Tian, over there in your bank, it's okay to take out two million silver yuan, right?" ”

Tian Changguo's body was still as scrawny as a tree, and he said loudly: "General Hui, Anbei Bank has abundant funds, two million silver yuan, there is absolutely no problem!" ”

Wang Dou threw the document on the case with a snap: "That's it, in the form of bank loans, the financial secretary's money and food will not move!" ”

He said in a cold tone: "Sun Chuanting can accept this loan, but it must be secured by Shaanxi's taxes, minerals, etc., and the loan is divided into several installments, and 500,000 silver yuan will be handed over in advance." ”

He said lightly: "This money will also be used to buy weapons, pay for instructors, hire non-commissioned officers, etc.!" ”

Sun Chuanting asked for a lot of assistance, and many of them also asked for free assistance, which made Wang Dou unhappy.

He is not a boy who scatters wealth, and his money and food are not blown by the wind, they are all obtained by the bloody battles of the soldiers under his command, or the people work hard to pay food and taxes.

Through the imperial court, many of them also went to Zuo Liangyu and other rats, and were finally seized by thieves, which was really a big loss.

And with such behavior, didn't he become the captain of the transport brigade?

In the future, we will have to change the policy, and this change will start from the Shaanxi side.

"Bank loans?"

The generals in the hall are very fresh, and the generals are always quite innovative, and now they are coming to this trick again.

Think of a place where the situation is controlled by the banks. Strange feelings welled up in everyone's hearts. However, thinking that this bank was also controlled by the shogunate, everyone's strange thoughts were just a flash, and then they were relieved.

After following Wang Dou for many years, everyone has become accustomed to the various new tricks born by Wang Dou, and their immunity has been greatly enhanced.

If it is replaced by someone else, this point alone will be controversial.

At the same time, many people still have faint thoughts in their hearts, is the general's move to encourage the people to open up?

Sure enough, I heard Wang Dou say: "Our Jingbian Army is developing, and at the same time, the bank must keep up." Lao Tian. You have to play the role of a businessman. Let them go out boldly. You also need to encourage them to turn the greedy nature of the merchants into a powerful motivator! On the road of pioneering, go farther and farther. ”

"Of course. Also pay attention to the ways and means. You can win over a group of people first. Give them some benefits, and those people will be called good purchases. ”

Zhang Gui said loudly: "The general is really a golden and jade good word. The lower officials and others were all very impressed. ”

He said to Tian Changguo: "Lao Tian, the general's teachings, you must keep them in mind, these insights, you can understand a little casually, and you will be inexhaustible for life!" ”

Tian Changguo smiled: "Minister Zhang reminded me that the lower officials already remember the labor." ”

Zhang Gui is in his forties, and he still has a short beard and a round leopard eye, and he looks very powerful.

Living and moving the qi, nourishing the body, over the years, it has also become more generous. Of course, this is just his appearance, in fact, although Zhang Gui has a rough expression, he is very good at talking, a delicate and smooth person.

He also made friends with Tian Changguo, thinking that even if the general remembered the old feelings, he could only do one realm, and the time was not far off, so he was naturally worried about the successor behind him.

Of course, he belongs to Tian Changguo, but the competitors Zhong Rong and Zhong Zhengxian cannot be underestimated, and he does his best to only create opportunities for Tian Changguo.

At this time, although Tian Changguo was still skinny, his two big bubble eyes were shining every time, and he had long been insulated before he woke up. Isn't the position of Minister of Civil Affairs hot? Even if the opponent is strong, he will not give up until the last moment!

Moreover, Wang Dou's words also greatly opened up his thinking, thinking in his heart that the emperor was not going to train a new army? Anbei Bank can also take out loans in the past.

It's just that the loan must be mortgaged, I heard that the emperor is so poor that he wears patched clothes, what to use as collateral?

With the treasury? Apparently impossible.

And Wang Dou's words, if they are placed elsewhere, will cause controversy, this is really a naked pursuit of profit, but Wang Dou's confidants and generals are all accustomed to it.

Zhong Rong sat with a smile, and only Zhong Zhengxian secretly scolded Zhang Gui and Tian Changguo: "Sycophant!" ”

Over the years, he has also matured a lot, and he will not pose as an uncle in front of Wang Dou, and his son Zhong Tiaoyang often teaches him that it is good to concentrate on his work, and whether he has achievements or not, the general sees it, so he has only concentrated on his own audit and inspection work recently.

He was disdainful of Tian Changguo and only stared at Zhong Rong alone.

……

After careful deliberation on the aid requested by Sun Chuanting, it was finally agreed upon one by one in the hall, and refined by the clerks, and finally the prepared payment document was sent to Sun Chuanting, who was eagerly waiting in a Shaanxi guild hall in the town.

When he opened it and looked at it, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the staff members beside him were all shocked and angry, and an incomparable sense of humiliation surged into everyone's hearts.

Although in Wang Dou's view, the terms and conditions are just fair transactions between the two parties, and they will pay if they have what they get, but in the eyes of Sun Chuanting and others, these terms are like unequal treaties in later generations.

Anbei Bank borrowed a total of 2 million silver yuan, and handed over 500,000 silver yuan in advance with Shaanxi taxes and minerals as collateral.

Shaanxi Prefecture purchased 10,000 bird guns and 1 million rounds of Weijin medicine from Xuanfu Town, and each rod was traded at a price of seven yuan, and was equipped with ten rounds of Weijin medicine, and the rest of the medicine was counted separately, and these firearms were also handed over in batches.

Shaanxi sent 3,000 mercenary sergeants to the Jingbian Army, 1,000 first-class soldiers and 2,000 second-class soldiers. Their salaries were 10 yuan per soldier in the first class and another for the officers, and 5 yuan for each soldier in the second class, and the officers were calculated separately, and the rules and regulations were calculated in great detail, as were the prices for the soldiers' injuries and bereavement pensions.

Xuanfu Town sold 5,000 stone of grain and grass to Shaanxi, which was too little in Sun Chuanting's opinion, but Wang Dou wanted to develop Monan, and he needed a lot of grain, so he could only sell a small amount.

As early as when he was in Beijing, Sun Chuanting had listened to the emperor's intentions, he wanted to go back to Shaanxi without soldiers, especially without a strong army, he could only fight the idea of the Jingbian army, according to his guess, the emperor acquiesced to his employment of 1,000 Jingbian troops, and he increased it to 3,000 in one breath, which was also under pressure, but he didn't want it to be so expensive.

Hongyi cannons will not be sold in Xuanfu Town, but fortunately, the emperor promised him that he would transfer some Hongyi cannons from Guangdong to him, and transport them to Shaanxi via Huguang.

He wanted to hire some gunners, which were incredibly expensive. (To be continued.) )
