Chapter Seventy-Nine: A Crisis Comes
6 Haoshan said with some concern: "Third brother, this matter is spreading, and those brothers under your command also know that this time it is a batch of silver, do they have any requirements, or do they have any ideas?" β
Wealth is moving, 6 Haoshan is most afraid of those people now that they have crooked brains, and it will be difficult to deal with them when the time comes.
Yuan San saw 6 Haoshan's thoughts at a glance, smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shan, are you afraid that those brothers will be red and want a piece of the pie when they see so much silver, right?" β
"Well, sort of."
"The biggest difference between the private guard and the Jiading nursing home is that no matter what the Jiading nursing home does, they are ordinary people, and the private guard can be said to be a soldier, but this soldier only serves one person and only works for one person" Yuan San said confidently: "These brothers and I are lifelong friends, I know their temperament, and they will not see wealth, and you help us when we are in the most difficult time, not only eat and drink, but also marry daughters-in-law for the brothers, this kindness has always been remembered, you can rest assured, they take the salary to work, As long as they can pay on time to let them support their families, it is enough to not have to share their share, now the situation is unstable, more income is also a good thing, there are benefits to share, if there is no input, this salary does not need to be paid? β
After a pause, Yuan San added: "But this is a windfall, and Brother Shan can also give a proper reward to encourage morale, and everyone can have fun, it's not impossible." β
"Third brother, you have experience in this area, how much do you say is appropriate?"
"Feel free, but I don't want to build too much, it's not okay to spoil them."
6 Haoshan thought for a while and said: "Third brother, you have three hundred taels, and the rest of the brothers will each be rewarded with one hundred taels of silver, and then the monthly money will be doubled to improve the food and training conditions, do you think this is appropriate?" β
If the silver is given too much at once, they all become rich and their lives become expensive, and it is estimated that no one will be willing to sell their lives, which goes against the original intention of 6 Haoshan, this guard can be said to have put a lot of effort into cultivating them as cornerstones.
"This, wouldn't that be too rich?" Yuan San said with some surprise, these people are soldiers not generals, usually one or twenty taels is good, and there is no danger in this mission, not to mention doubling the monthly salary and improving the food, a county order only has an income of thirty or forty taels a year, and this one hundred taels of reward is equivalent to three or four years of income at once, which can be said to be very generous.
"Not much, this can be regarded as a blessing to share," 6 Haoshan smiled and said, "Besides, there will be a heavy responsibility entrusted to you soon." β
Yuan San said in surprise: "It won't be robbing the tax money of other counties, right?" Xiaoshan, be cautious about this, those secret agents in the imperial court are not vegetarians, although Daming said that he has internal and external troubles, but his foundation is still there, and it is not something that we little people can compete with, if you really want to deal with us, it is estimated that it will be effortless. β
"Once in a while, this is already very lucky, and with this lesson, those people will definitely strengthen their defenses, and they will no longer be so easy to get, how can the younger brother let the third brother take risks" 6 Haoshan smiled and said: "The third brother is not an outsider, let me tell you clearly, now the situation is unclear, it is better to ask for someone than to ask for it, I am ready to train a force to protect Jiangyou, and then I will have the eldest brother and your brothers to take action to train the new army for me." β
"Training new troops?" When Yuan San heard this, his eyes widened, and he was even more surprised than hearing that he was going to rob another vote.
6 Haoshan nodded and said very seriously: "That's right, train the new army." β
"Official or private? Is there a compilation? Is there a supply? β
"It's a private force, there is no establishment, and it relies on its own supply."
"Brother Shan, aren't you on a whim" Yuan San decided to pour some cold water on him and sober him up: "Training the new army is not an overnight thing, the cost is huge, the monthly salary is a huge expense, but the proportion of this occupation is still small, in addition to the military salary, the daily food is also a lot of expenses, and then the training ground, weapons, armor, horses, injury and illness expenses, pensions, rewards, etc., this is a bottomless pit at all, you just look at the officers and soldiers in the guard, there is so much land that cannot be supported, You only have tens of thousands of people in Jiangyou, and it is already difficult to raise so many officials, and you still have to raise an army? The court won't agree, and the people won't buy it, so you're not going to use the 20,000 taels to raise an army, right? β
This is not a child's house, Yuan Sanxian, he is more and more underestimating this sworn brother, bold, careful, talking and doing things, often surprising, but wanting to raise an army by himself is a little whimsical.
Besides, is it necessary for Jiangyou to raise an army? As the eldest brother of the sworn worship, Yuan San had to remind him of this extremely smart little brother.
6 Haosheng knew that what Yuan San said was the truth, and he said it out of good intentions, but he still said with a firm face: "Third brother, I know your kindness, but the younger brother has made up his mind, and I ask the third brother to fulfill it." β
Without waiting for Yuan San to speak, 6 Haoshan immediately said: "As for the issue of military spending, the junior brother has made plans early on, and I will use the tea and horse trade at that time, so that I can earn military expenses while training the army." β
"Tea and horse trading?" Yuan San was taken aback, stared at 6 Haoshan and said, "Brother Shan, although this tea and horse trade is a huge profit, the water in it is too deep, you have to be careful." β
Yuan San has also heard of the tea and horse trade, to put it mildly, except for the emperor and a few powerful figures, the others are small roles, although the profits are large, but the risks are also high, especially the political situation is unstable, the uprisings are continuous, the mob is everywhere, sometimes the decrees of the imperial court are not easy to use, and the danger of going out to do business is even higher.
6 Haoshan said confidently: "Third brother, don't worry, I have planned this matter carefully, and you will know when the time comes, please ask the third brother to work hard." β
"Brother Shan, what are you going to do? There are officials in the county government, and if something happens, those guards will not stand idly by, just for personal safety, and the twelve of us ask ourselves if it is not a problem to protect your safety, why do you still train the army? This is no joke. Yuan San persuaded bitterly.
"Third brother, I said this qiΔ all to live a better life, do you believe it?"
"Although I don't know what you're going to do, but since you're a brother, what you're going to do, the third brother will definitely support you." Yuan San sighed, and finally compromised.
I wanted to persuade him, but when I saw 6 Haoshan's confident and firm eyes, my heart moved, I don't know why, I suddenly had a feeling of expectation, Yuan San suddenly wanted to see if he was a "restless duty" mountain brother, in the end, would grow to that height, in addition, there is another reason, 6 Haoshan is only a small county order, a year's Yulu is only thirty or forty taels, if you don't do anything, what to feed this private guard, you know, dozens of people rely on him to feed it, war horses are no exception, this kind of war horses, three days not ** It is expected that you will have to lose weight, and the annual chemical expenses are as high as three ordinary soldiers.
People eat horses and chew, but they can't get in and out, even if they are gold and silver mountains, they will sit and eat empty mountains.
"Thank you, third brother, these silver are marked, and you still have to do some hands and feet to use them, so I will transfer them to you from the county government first."
"Okay, you can just watch it."
Exiting the cave, and carefully camouflaging, 6 Haoshan said to himself as he walked: "Well, it's time to build a stronghold near here", there is no place to put so much silver, and it is really a bit unreasonable to hide it in the cave, but fortunately, Yuan San and they are training nearby, and with them watching, the safety of this silver is not a problem.
Is this a big family business?
With a vision for the future, 6 Haoshan and Liu Jinzhu rode straight to the county office.
"Hey, my lord, look, isn't Zhang Yunhui standing at the door?" When he was about to arrive at the county office, Liu Jinzhu pointed to the person at the door and said loudly.
6 Haoshan fixed his eyes, that's right, Zhang Yunhui was pacing around the gate of the county yamen, looking very anxious, shook his head, and rode over.
"Your Excellency, you're back." Before those officials moved, Zhang Yunhui took the lead and said anxiously: "But the lower officials are in a hurry." β
"Wait for me? Master Zhang, what's going on? 6 Haoshan asked with a surprised face, this Zhang Yunhui, who usually pretends to be deep and confident, but yesterday he heard that Cao Hu's tax money was robbed, and he didn't see him say anything, and now he runs to the gate of the county government to wait for himself, and he doesn't know what happened?
Zhang Yunhui said anxiously: "My lord, where have you been, the lower officials sent people to look for you and you can't find it, hurry, the prefect is waiting for you." β
What, Prefect?
6 Haoshan had a stirring in his heart: what is coming is finally coming.
If you are 6 Wenhua deity, you will naturally go to meet generously, but you can't like it, at most, you will give some "small shoes" to wear, there is no danger to your life, the problem is that you are fake, from the beginning to the present, I have not seen this prefect, when the New Year gave him a gift, he also sent someone to go with a gift list, and he has not visited in person, which can be regarded as a very unceremonial, and now the top boss is patrolling here, and he can see it if he doesn't see it, for a while, 6 Haoshan's heart is up and down, and it is very chaotic.
From the fake to the present, 6 Haoshan has entered the role of the county order, treating himself as the county order of Jiangyou, every word and deed, every move has a bit of the momentum of the county official, but the fake can't be true, 6 Haoshan can't be sure now, in the end, the dead 6 Wenhua and the current prefect are not acquainted, and even whether there is a master-apprentice relationship, etc., in ancient times, he liked to accept protΓ©gΓ©s, like banquet poetry meetings, etc., the circle of scholars said that it was not small, and it was not big, once the prefect showed that he was not himself, that qiΔ would be over.
His own status, fame, the silver he scavenged, the care of Yuan San and his family, etc., all came from the position of the county commander, once exposed, then everything he did was in vain.6 Haoshan now regrets not transferring the silver: once the east window happened, then this qiΔ made a wedding dress for others.
Careless, careless, I've been living a good life, I never thought of any emergency plans, let alone find out the details of people who may intersect, such as the prefect of this Long'an Mansion, 6 Haoshan only knows his surname Cheng, his name is Tieshan, where is he? What are your preferences? With 6 Wenhua whether it is old or not, etc., it can be said that the eyes are black, and I don't know it, and now that the crisis is coming, I just remember to pay attention, but unfortunately, it's too late.
"My lord, what's wrong? Are you okay? Seeing that 6 Haoshan's face was different, Zhang Yunhui on the side said with a concerned face.
"Oh, it's okay, I didn't expect the prefect to come suddenly, I'm just a little surprised."
Zhang Yunhui said anxiously: "My lord, let's talk about this later, the prefect has been waiting for you for more than half an hour, you should go and see him." β
"Okay, I'll go." 6 Haoshan gritted his teeth, turned around and walked in.
If it comes, it will be safe, and there is no way back, so you can only stiffen your head.
