When Yang Zhi returned safely and drank with everyone, Zhang Bohu hadn't closed his eyes for two days. He has been very busy these days, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is exhausted. As soon as he returned to Penglai from Laiwu, he encountered Yang Zhi being coerced by Xiong Zhan. Yang Zhi is not there, he has become the backbone of everyone.

Qin Jiaoyang's prophecy that day had been slightly verified, and Zhang Bohu was calm and calm, responding moderately, showing the style of a general: on the one hand, he decisively changed the strategy originally agreed with Yang Zhi, tightly sealed the news of cleaning up the secret dens of pirates on the shore, and trapped a large number of Yingniang's subordinates to hold the bargaining weight. On the one hand, he took advantage of the opportunity of this troop transfer and clean-up, and got in touch with Mu Wang and Xiong Zhan in a timely manner, and quickly put on an unprecedentedly tough posture against Yingniang.

The royal gold medal and Yang Zhi's unique paper transfer order, although it is extremely effective, it is not an all-powerful Aladdin magic lamp. Whether the 3,000 troops were transferred, whether to stay in Penglai for a long time or return to Laiwu at a later date, the implementation of the 3,000 men's food, drink, sleep, and salary, these are just the first problems to be solved after Yang Zhi and Zhang Bohu have eased their breath. In fact, in the end, as long as you have a lot of silver, everything is easy to do.

Xiong Zhan relied on hundreds of pirates to dare to threaten to slaughter the city, which was a great stimulus to Yang Zhi. Great Xia has no coastal defense in the short term, and a choke point like Penglai must not even have shore defense, so these 3,000 soldiers must be stationed here for a long time.

The prefect of Jinan and the commander of Penglai County have been officials in Shandong for many years, and it is impossible not to think of this. Although there is a high-sounding excuse that Great Xia has been fighting for many years and the army is tight, the trick behind it is really intriguing. Yang Zhi doesn't have time to think about it now, and he can't care so much. With the imperial gold medal in hand, his words are equivalent to a holy decree, and it is already polite to say hello to Li Zikuan, the prefect of Jinan.

According to the military system of Great Xia, the local government soldiers were responsible for maintaining local law and order, eliminating bandits and the second-line reserve army of Great Xia, and half of the food and salary were also borne by the local government and the Great Xia court. The 3,000 soldiers can temporarily assemble a place and station outside Penglai City, and after sorting out the clues, they can then divide their troops along the coast. However, it is not a trivial matter where the silver for the three thousand soldiers and horses will come from for a long time.

Li Zikuan, the prefect of Jinan, responded positively to Yang Zhi's troop transfer, and after receiving the report, he sent someone to bring a letter quickly. But there is only one nonsense sentence that has no practical meaning: everything is only obeyed by the order of the Flying Tiger Marquis.

Penglai County Order can be called the No. 1 fat shortage of seven officials in Shandong, and of course those who can get this position will not be an idle person, and the current county commander Wang Yuxin is also an old oilman who has been in the officialdom for many years. His response was even more absolute: Flying Tiger Hou deployed troops to suppress bandits to ensure the safety of one party, "wise". However, the small people of Penglai are barren. The 3,000 soldiers stationed for 10 days and half a month of food and salary "may be able to ensure that they are supported on a daily basis", and if they are stationed here, they may not be able to continue.

Yang Zhi's reply was also very simple: as long as you can guarantee that half a month is enough, you don't have to worry about the rest. But if there is a shortage of food one day in half a month, I will ask for a gold medal to kill you!

The day after returning to Penglai, Yang Zhi ordered Zhang Bohu to send a letter to Li Zikuan: Ben Qincha was ordered to build the coastal defense of Great Xia. Urgently levy one million taels of silver from Jinan Prefecture, which must not be violated. This order!

Excuse prevarication? As long as you can get through it, that's fine. In order to strictly prevent pirates from going ashore and causing trouble, 1,000 soldiers and horses were transferred to block all the intersections in and out of Penglai by land. However, in order to "facilitate the circulation of goods", and Qin's "wealth and courage are trustworthy", all Qin's goods can be unimpeded without inspection. Want to be affiliated with the Qin family? OK. But if you don't give money, why should people take such a big risk as "suspected of being a bandit" for you?

Isn't Penglai a place where merchants gather? Those ordinary people are insignificant, and the business tycoons are the pillars of local prosperity, so they should focus on protection. As for which characters should be classified as "important". Qin Jiaoyang has been in charge of the Qin branch here for many years, and he can count a handful with his eyes closed.

But the mission of the Great Xia soldiers and horses is to protect the territory and the people, not your family's personal bodyguards. The primary task is to protect the safety of the lives and property of many people, not to say that whoever has more money will unconditionally shed blood and sweat for you. So what is "key protection"? Quite simply, as long as you "voluntarily" pay the "salary", soldiers will be stationed in front of your house. The price starts at 50,000 taels of silver a year, and it is not enough to have less than one tael. It's okay if you don't want to bear it, and when the pirates come to the door, don't blame me for not saving me.

The Flying Tiger Marquis was escorted back by hundreds of ships, which is a fact that many people have witnessed with their own eyes, who knows what kind of friendship he has with those sea bandits? Who can guarantee that he won't shadow you behind your back? I can't even figure out the truth of the bandits. In this troubled world, you will definitely not be able to become a businessman. As soon as the notice of Yang Zhi's levy of protection fees came out, he received a "salary" of up to 2.2 million taels in less than two days.

With such a three-pronged approach, a rough calculation, at least four million taels of silver will come in. Not to mention raising 3,000 people. It's a piece of cake to raise 30,000 people. What happens to the extra silver? No one dares to ask, and there is no need to ask.

Yang Zhi's kung fu in scraping the ground was so neat and sophisticated, even Qin Jiaoyang and Zhang Bohu had to admire his courage. It's not enough to have guts, you have to wipe your butt clean beforehand. Yang Zhi dictated and Zhang Bohu ghostwrote these events without concealment, and also specifically mentioned that in the process of fighting against piracy, many brave and fearless fishermen and fishing boats were requisitioned. Then he entrusted the Qin family to send it to Chang'an.

This hand called cutting the egg and had to stop the pain: even if the tongue of the person who accused the black behind the back was cut, even if someone wanted to investigate it in the future, there was no reason. Which one does not cost money to raise soldiers, requisition civilian ships, and compensate "righteous people"? If you really want to investigate it, not only will you have to give a lot of praise and commendation, but I'm afraid you will have to find hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

I don't know what Li Zikuan, the prefect of Jinan, thinks in his heart, anyway, Wang Yuxin, the commander of Penglai County, was dumbfounded and regretted breaking his intestines. According to Yang Zhi's method, you Xingzi didn't give him any left. This uncle is not something that he, a sesame mung bean function, can afford to fight, and if he is not careful, he may even have to fight for his life, so it is right to quickly figure out how to regain his impression.

After the waist bag was thickened, some of Yang Zhi's previous promises could also be fulfilled generously. He originally promised Liuxi and Mr. Yi that they would have a fixed salary every month, and Zhang Bohu's share was even more indispensable. But the monthly salary he distributed was only 500 taels per person per month, which was negligible to his few men who were originally high-income guys and Zhang Bohu.

But the silver reward distributed immediately afterwards was enough to move everyone: everyone worked hard to try the sea, and each person was rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver. This time everyone was so tired that everyone worried about him, and each person was rewarded with 5,000 taels of silver. Zhang Bohu did not deal with the danger properly, and was rewarded with another 5,000 taels of silver.

Give me Yang Zhi as a buddy, not only will you give you the dignity you should give, but also earn a lot of silver. But if you don't work hard, you can't, and I'm not afraid that you won't work hard!
