Chapter 452: Old Rui, who is crooked
Listening to Xiangshan Zhixian's crying, Uncle Guo really couldn't cry or laugh, I, Zheng Fengzhang, seem to be the kind of person who eats dry and doesn't give silver? You must know that he offered 40 taels of silver for a Tartar head outside Mobei, and millions of taels of silver were spent, and he still cared about the food and drink of 5,000 people?
But the problem is that the crossing of this army has always been this rule, to put it mildly, even at the beginning of the 20th century of the Gregorian calendar, it is still this rule, how can this Xiangshan magistrate not worry? 5,000 people is really unaffordable for Xiangshan County!
Helpless, the obedient official had no choice but to reach out and pull Zeng Ang Zengzhi County, and comforted him with kind words, this governor crosses the border, never takes a stitch from the people, the army eats and drinks supplies, and there is a fair trade in silver, you don't have to panic in Xiangshan County. ,!
Zeng Ang and those gentry couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it, most of the governors said that this is the point, if you still cry, wouldn't it be too faceless? Therefore, he had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood, with a smile on his face, and a dead heart in his heart, and it was estimated that once the 5,000 army passed, he was afraid that it would be more ruthless than the crossing of locusts.
Looking at the faces of these people, the good official really has nothing to say, he is not a fool, how can he not see what these people are thinking, but the crossing of the army, this has become a custom since ancient times, even if it is known as the Yue family army that shakes the mountain and is easy to shake the Yue family's army, Grandpa Yue does not dare to say that I take the army to cross the border and do not need the support of the local government.
Therefore, a good official can only prove one thing, and that is to pay for money.
He was about to call for the silver, when Ryan Stein Bonaparte came with a group of Franco-men wearing half-body armor, and when he came closer, he hurried a few steps, knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Knock on the Governor, Governor, Viceroy, Fortunately, I have recruited a total of four hundred and eighty-one capable and experienced mercenaries......
The good official was a little happy to see him, to be honest. Lao Rui is also the old team in front of him, but look at him with people pushing and pulling, and there are carts behind him. It was full of packages, and it was estimated that this old boy was stirring up the wind and rain in Xiangshan County, which made the Xiangshan magistrate run to him with the gentry to cry.
At that moment, he was angry and said: "You are preparing food and salary in Xiangshan County, but you didn't give any money?" ”
Ryan Stein Bonaparte was stunned.
The route that the good official is taking now has been thought of a long time ago, he must come to Haojingao, and Ryanstein Bonaparte went to Haojingao to recruit soldiers. At that time, I didn't get the news that I was going south to Yunnan to quell the rebellion, but the obedient officials recruited European mercenaries, but they had this plan early on, you know, at this time, Spain and Portugal were indeed very powerful, and the Spanish phalanx was even more famous.
Again. He will inevitably fight with the Spanish Viceroyalty of the Philippines in the future, and at this time, the Spanish influence in the South Seas region will mainly spread in a linear pattern from the Viceroyalty of the Philippines, so the more mercenaries he will recruit. There are fewer on the Philippine side, and under the advantages of one another, he will have more chances of winning in the future.
Therefore, a few days ago, Reinstein got the news that the Clippers arrived ahead of schedule and said that Uncle Guo was coming, he was very excited, he was a former knight of the Knights of Malta, in the words of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the old war, as the so-called, the army has not moved, and the grain and grass go first. Is there an army under the world that does not consume grain and grass? Therefore, he led people to desperately collect food and wages in Xiangshan County.
When Lao Rui left his uncle to go to sea and start recruiting soldiers, he had already made Jinyi Wei Deputy Qianhu? Just wait for the successful recruitment this time, then, a brocade guard thousand households will not be able to escape, and he will go to Xiangshan County to collect food and wages. Jinyiwei's waist card is thrown, Xiangshan Zhixian even if it is a dry Wenchen, but also to be soft, the ivory waist card on the head, in the middle is the two big characters of customs defense, decorated with cloud patterns around it, the top is engraved with Jinyi Wei Beiya, deputy Qianhu Ryan Steinstein Bonaparte, and the reverse side is engraved with two lines of words Detective criminal suspension This card is not allowed to borrow the offender to punish the offender.
Lao Rui is a Francophone man, and there are the most Haojing Aufrang machines under the rule of Xiangshan County, but can the Franco machine man understand the Jinyi Wei waist card? So Lao Rui threw a waist card to Xiangshan County, and Xiangshan County knew that this could not be fake.
It is indeed a little strange that a Franc machine person does a thousand households in Jinyi Wei, but it is a tradition for the Ming Dynasty to use Tartar officials, and the Mongolians and Semu people are officials in the Ming Dynasty and do not know what is going on, of course, it is now Wanli year, not so many at the beginning of the founding of the country, but the Ming Dynasty is still normal for foreigners to be officials in the court.
When asked by Uncle Guo, Ryan Stein Bonaparte couldn't help but distinguish, "The Metropolitan Governor, the lowly one." ”
More than a dozen Ji warriors behind the obedient official snorted and laughed, and the obedient official was helpless when he heard Lao Rui's words, and couldn't help but shake his head.
Because this was originally his means, like he sprinkled a lot of silver along the way from Fusang to Mobei, but silver is not as easy to carry as later generations think, such as online games in later generations, it is normal for a chivalrous man to have a few million taels of silver, and it costs ten taels of silver to buy a steamed bun!
But in fact, how can you carry millions of taels of silver alone? A steamed bun is ten taels of silver, if you want to go out, don't you have to use silver to cast a silver figure about the same size as yourself, which is enough for the cost?
Therefore, the obedient official probably also makes a note first, accumulates to a certain extent, and then goes to settle the bill, otherwise, the people who serve around him will not do anything, and they will carry the silver all day long!
Since Lao Rui said so, the good officials are not good to say it, so they can only complain that the credibility of the Ming court is not good, and now ask someone to bring the silver, and then Yan Yuese said to Xiangshan County and a group of gentry: "Xiangshan County, this matter, but it is a misunderstanding, this governor restricts his subordinates, and has always not taken a stitch from the people, how much silver should be, not a penny is not a lot, let's settle it here." ”
His style scared Zeng Ang and a group of squires, the box was opened, and the white flowers were full of silver, and then he looked at the uncle and the governor, smiling all over his face, this obviously didn't look like a joke, right? Did the Metropolitan Governor really give silver?
For a while, there was silence around.
Some people are worried, they have never heard of such a thing since ancient times, this uncle of the country, why don't we go up and get the silver first, and then turn our faces and chop us up, right?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shudder, and I didn't dare to go up.
However, there is always a bold one, there is a squire, the head of the family is a grain store, I don't know how many stone grain has been moved, if this is not paid, it will be bankrupt, I can't help but go up with the courage to go up, "The governor, the villain, the villain has a ......strip here," he said, trembling and feeling out a pile of white stripes.
The obedient official walked over with a smile, stretched out his hand to take a look, and shouted casually: "Bao'er, calculate how much money for the master......" Halfway through the words, he remembered that Bao'er didn't have it with him, and couldn't help but smile, and Risa Sugatani next to him couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, Risa has also learned some abacus, it's better to let Risa calculate." ”
She got the permission of Uncle Guo's eyes, walked over and took the note from the good official's hand, calculated carefully, and reported it as much as she could, the grain merchant had the clearest account in his heart, and couldn't help but praise, "This young lady is so good at mental arithmetic, but it is not bad at all." ”
Since the grain merchant said so, the good official immediately said, "Give him money." ”
Someone here took silver from the box, and one ingot after another was full of silver cast by the official, and the grain merchant still didn't believe it, but Sugatani Risa said, "Do you want to see the color?" ”
The man hurriedly shook his hand, "No, no, most of the governors speak, where is there a fake." ”
At this time, these gentry and squires brought by Xiangshan County whispered to each other, this metropolitan governor seems to really give silver?
"Do you want me to send someone to the house for you?" The obedient official said to the grain merchant.
Thinking that he couldn't move this pile of silver, the man quickly shook his hand, "Don't dare, don't dare." With a roll of his eyes, he invited two Haojing Ao Franc people who were watching not far away, saying that they would each pay eight coins of silver and let them carry them with them.
Haojing Ao on the Franc machine people in Xiangshan County have been low for so many years, to be honest, there are troublemakers, but in the end, all of them were treated obediently by the local government of the Ming Dynasty, and the Franc machine people have a benefit, recognize the silver, you give the silver, and specify to do things for you, so this squire still believes in the Franc machine people, and even the uncle of the country, although he gave the silver, in his heart, may not be more reliable than the Franc machine people of Hao Jingao.
Look at his style, the good official is really ridiculous, the government has no credibility, what can you do?
The two Francos who were invited by the grain drove a car, and bargained with the grain merchant, saying that they were one or two pieces of silver, and the two of them were happy, and began to carry the silver to the cart.
At this time, an elite Spanish sword and shield veteran took less than three taels of silver in a month, and these two people moved silver once, one or two silver per person, which was already a windfall, as for the robbery, they didn't dare to give them three guts, this is the territory of Xiangshan County, and the experience of the previous car, the Ming officials are not easy to mess with.
After the silver was carried, the man nodded and said thank you to the governor, and the squires and gentry who were watching next to him were also boiling, and they were about to go up, when suddenly the good official shouted, "Wait a minute." "The girls in the back gathered around at once.
The hairs on the back of the grain merchant stood on end, and only then did he hate himself deeply, mud horse! In this world, where is there an official who does not eat people? Why are you so stupid!
He knelt down with a puff, "The majority of the governors spare their lives, the majority of the governors spare their lives, the villains don't dare to ask for it, they don't dare to ask for it anymore, these are all things that the villain consciously and voluntarily donates to help......"
The obedient official smiled, but ignored him, turned his face to Sugatani Risa and said, "Go, bring down twenty percent of the silver." ”
The girls went up to get the silver, and the good official smiled and said to the man with a dull expression: "This is a commercial tax, and in the future, you have to follow this rule." After that, he asked Sugatani Risa to give 10% to Zeng Ang, the magistrate of Xiangshan, saying that it was 10% of the local tax.
This series of behaviors, Xiangshan County and those gentry were all stunned, since they fell to the ground, there has been no such thing in the world.
"Where's your strip? Come, one by one, and the Governor will buy and sell fairly. The good officer laughed, and these people just let themselves set an example, and he smiled at Ryan Stein Bonaparte, "Old Rui! You're on the right track. ”……)
