The tension in Tuanshan Fort was indeed a headache, and at the moment he was staying alone in his room thinking about countermeasures.

It's been a long time since Anzi left Tuanshan Fort, and the task on his side is also very important, so I don't know how it has been completed?

Zhang Li rubbed his temples and decided not to think about Yasuko yet, his gaze falling on the large stack of silver tickets on the table.

It was previously estimated that the silver would be able to support until next autumn, but now that the power of Tuanshan Fort is expanding rapidly, the speed of using money must be greatly accelerated, and the economic account must be calculated.

Tuanshan Fort did not produce almost nothing, only consumption -- huge military spending and various benefits of the common people, and it was impossible for him to be a 'wealth boy' all the time, nor could he be.

Immediately a large number of displaced people came, how should they deal with it?

When he came to Tuanshan Fort, his family had 100,000 taels of silver.

Fang Yizhi brought 100,000 taels from Nanjing, which was the remaining part of the 200,000 taels that he had originally received from 'Wu Gonggong', and Fang Yizhi handed over the number and handed over a copy of the account book.

However, he still allocated 50,000 taels to the 'Tuanshan Fort Arsenal', and Fang Yizhi's production of self-generated firearms, gunpowder, bullets, and mines in his palm could not be stopped for a moment.

The Tuanshan Army paid military salaries, distributed rations to the common people, and spent 50,000 taels of silver on the construction of various infrastructures.

Tuanshan Fort bought grain at a high price, so that the caravans outside the pass also sold about 30,000 taels of grain, which was their own war food.

In other words, he still has 70,000 taels of silver in his hand.

It's only 70,000 taels, and if there is a large influx of displaced people, it won't be able to support next spring at all!

What's more, he is still doubling the expansion of the army. If you calculate it like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to support this year's New Year.

Fortunately, it was not in vain that he got mixed up from a little lang to Tanhualang. finally got hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If you start with the real king of the mountain, the division is simply a fool's dream.

It's the Xiaoice River period. You can't raise an army by farming.

What can Tuanshan Fort produce now?

There is almost nothing, what iron ore and charcoal are not enough for their own use, who is the common glass cement sold to in YY Wen? Sold to Jiannu?

There is also a big killer What is the boiling sea salt, the Ming Dynasty has tens of thousands of miles of sea territory, if you can raise a huge army by selling illicit salt, then the Ming Dynasty will probably die a long time ago, and there is no need for a traverser......

In this era, the fastest money is naturally firearms. Armament materiel, all sides need to buy in large quantities.

If Young Master Ben asked Jiannu whether he needed glass or Hongyi cannons, their choice would inevitably be the latter.

Didn't the U.S. imperialists become strong by sending war money from World War I and World War II, and in the war years, unless you sell arms, it is not easy to sell anything else......

'Master Zhang, Gao Guerrilla asks to see! ‘

The soldiers outside the house respectfully reported and pulled Zhang Li's thoughts back.

'Well, let him in. ‘

Soon Gao Yuanliang walked into the room. Gao Yuanliang gave a military salute and said loudly: "My lord, are you looking for me?" ‘

Zhang Zhang nodded, and pointed to a Luo Circle chair beside him: "Yuan Liang." Sit. ‘

Gao Yuanliang was a little trembling for a while, and Zhang Zhang smiled and said: "This is the inner house, not as good as the council room." Let's talk casually. ‘

'My lord......' Gao Yuan's conscience was moved, and he walked over to Zhang Li and sat down. The butt is only halfway seated, and the waist bar is straight.

Zhang Li had the heart to say two words. In the end, he held back - alas, this man can say whatever he sits in, and it is the same in ancient and modern times.

Recently, I often dreamed of those days with Anzi and Yuanliang in Penglai County and Nanjing City, but those days can never go back-

Zhang Zhang sighed slightly, gathered his thoughts, and stepped into the topic: "Yuan Liang, what do you think of the military salary reform I proposed earlier?" ‘

Gao Yuanliang stood upright and said solemnly: "My lord, your ideas are too incredible, and the general's brain is not enough!" But the last general has been pondering these days, and I feel that there is a drawback in your method. ‘

Zhang Li's brow furrowed: 'Oh? Malpractices? You say, but it doesn't hurt to speak. ‘

After Gao Yuanliang thought about the wording, he said in a deep voice: "My lord means that all military salaries are accounted for, and soldiers can withdraw them once a month......

Well, you go on. ‘

'My lord, the soldiers are all poor people, who believes that there is no bookkeeping and no accounting? When the day the silver is withdrawn, it is natural to get all the real money in your hands! ‘

Zhang Zhang smiled slightly, understanding what Gao Yuanliang meant.

His original intention, to put it bluntly, is to 'play a white stripe' for military salaries. However, considering that many soldiers need to support their families, then they are also given the opportunity to withdraw once a month, and the livelihood of military families cannot be forcibly cut off.

For example, if the military salary is five taels of silver, the sergeants can withdraw two taels and deposit three taels.

As the saying goes, if you can't afford to be early, if you design this kind of system yourself, how can you leave the kind of loophole that Gao Yuanliang wanted?

Zhang Zhang said with a smile: "The military salary that keeps the account will give an interest of 10% a year, and it will be paid at the end of the year. ‘

'Interest? Gao Yuanliang is a little confused, in ancient times, it was common to collect interest on loans, but he had never heard of saving money and paying interest.

There are so many silver shops in the Ming Dynasty, you deposit the silver in it, not to mention any interest for you, and people have to charge a storage fee!

Zhang Zhang didn't wait for Gao Yuanliang to react, and continued: "A soldier will eventually start a family, and he can't be a bachelor forever. Then the soldiers who are willing to keep accounts, if they retire due to injuries in the future, they will be arranged by Tuanshan Fort to work. If he died in battle, then Tuanshan Fort raised his children until he was sixteen years old, and his parents were sent to death by Tuanshan Fort in their old age. ‘

'Huh? - 'Gao Yuanliang exclaimed, this condition is really too generous!

Even if the soldiers were disabled and killed in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, they only meant a few taels of silver.

Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, the soldiers have basically died in vain - every year they have lost battles and died so many small soldiers, how can the court have the money to pay for them?

'My lord, if that's the ...... In this way, the last general will apply for the first military salary accounting! Gao Yuanliang looked so excited that he stammered a little.

Tension in the heart of a joy, these means to use. You haven't been tricked yet?

Master Ben will issue treasury bonds in the future-well, that's still early. More on that later.

Military salaries are the largest part of the expenditure, and this piece will be settled later. It is equivalent to the throttling in 'open source and reduce expenditure' -- but in the end, if you still have to pay military salaries, then you must open source!

Zhang Li's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after thinking for a moment, his eyes lit up: "Yuan Liang, which way did the Jin merchants do business with the Tartars?" ‘

Gao Yuanliang was still thinking about the benefits of military salary accounting, and suddenly heard Zhang Zhang say this, and immediately stopped his thoughts. He said: "They are in the territory of Duoyan Sanwei, and the Jin merchants are not only engaged in the trading of the eastern captives, but also the northern captives

Buying and selling. ‘

'I heard that they sell grain, iron, gunpowder?' ‘

"Well, without the help of these dogs, the Tartars would still be drinking blood!" The last general once heard the old army say that the Tartars were made of animal bones even the bows and arrows in the Wanli year - now the Tartars are attacking the city, and the Furlong cannons are available! ‘

Suddenly, Gao Yuanliang suddenly realized something, and looked at Zhang Li incredulously: "My lord. Do you mean-'

Zhang Zhang smiled coldly: "This kind of scum who is difficult to make a fortune for the country, this official will eliminate harm for the country in the future!" ‘

Gao Yuanliang licked his shriveled lips and seemed to see a mountain of gold and silver......

Zhang Zhang quickly continued: "In the future work of the scout team, there will be an additional item to investigate the whereabouts of Jin Shang. Not. An actual combat exercise was also added to the military training to exterminate the Jin merchants. This operation is called Operation Rat Hunt, this

You go down and arrange ......'

Gao Yuanliang immediately stood up. He replied in a loud voice: 'The last general commands!' ‘

……

Not far north of Zhangjiakou is a town called Xinghe, which is close to the Great Wall. Merchants who came from the south to the north to trade in the north gathered here.

Zhangjiakou is an important military town among the three guards of Xuanfu, and the Tuanshan Army Escort does not want to recruit people in that kind of city. After all, there are too many troubles in the government, military guards, and various yamen. And a small town like Xinghe Town is very suitable

Finish.

In front of the largest mule and horse market in the north of Xinghe Town, Brother Yu was talking endlessly about the various preferential policies of Tuanshan Fort.

However, not many people have heard of it, and the majority of homeless people seem to be more interested in finding an errand to do in the mule and horse market.

Pan Batian was also anxious when he looked at it, but in terms of civil affairs, Master Zhang strictly ordered the soldiers to intervene, and he could only look at Brother Yu's means - the escort team, only responsible for the escort.

'Ladies and gentlemen, our Ningyuan Governor Lord Zhang was ordered to Tuntian, and now Ningyuan has 10,000 acres of fertile land, all of which are ownerless fields! ‘

Whoever goes will directly divide the land into a hundred acres! ‘

'Tsk, as soon as you go there, you are all landlords, eating fragrant and drinking spicy! ‘

'Lord Zhang provides free seed farming tools, and the tax is very low, only 20% is collected, and there is no other apportionment of miscellaneous labor! ‘

The tax of the Ming Dynasty was one of ten taxes on paper, which was very low in an agricultural society, but it was only on paper.

If it is really ten taxes and one tax, what kind of rebellion will the displaced people make?

A large number of apportionments and taxes are all taken into account, and the taxes have exceeded 70% of the output, so how can the people live?

Xiucai, Juren, and Jinshi did not have to pay taxes, so a large number of good people took refuge in their names with their fields.

Although about forty percent of the harvest is given to the gentry and lords, the common people can always barely survive.

In the end, it is inevitable that the country will become poorer and poorer, and the gentry will become richer and richer.

Brother Yu swallowed his saliva and continued to shout in a loud voice: "You don't need to worry too much, before the autumn harvest next year, Lord Zhang will provide food to support you!" ‘

'Hahaha-' The few homeless listeners suddenly burst into laughter: "We have seen a lot of officials who have forced the people to rebel, but we have never seen any officials who are Guanyin Bodhisattva's giving rice and grain!" What are you coaxing a three-year-old child?! ‘

Pan Batian's face was as black as Guan Gong, and the homeless people suddenly realized something and stopped laughing.

Brother Yu's face is also covered with black lines, how can this be explained?

Lord Zhang made these conditions, don't say that it was someone else, and he didn't believe it at the beginning.

Later, after coming to Tuanshan Fort with the idea of giving it a try and not losing anything, I was really convinced.

Mr. Zhang really believes in his words!

But Xuanfu is hundreds of miles away from Liaodong, and it is impossible to organize a sightseeing group to visit!

What to do? (To be continued......)
