Chapter 214: Take the Talent for You
The silver that had just arrived in his hand had not yet been hot, and Liu Jun pulled out a large amount of silver one after another, and 100,000 taels of silver were pulled out and paid to the deposits signed by the prefectures and counties of Huguang and the peasants for the purchase of grain, 100,000 taels were the raw material purchase money for the workshops in Hutoubao, 200,000 taels of silver for the newly recruited soldiers, 300,000 taels for the construction of the salt works and the recruitment of craftsmen, and then a large sum was for Fu Shan to transport to Beijing.
and a full 300,000 taels of silver.
Spending money is like running water.
Liu Jun seized the hundreds of thousands of taels worth of loot from Sichuan some time ago, as well as more than 100,000 yuan of goods from the military workshop, as well as one million shares of silver from the salt farm, and 100,000 yuan from the lottery tickets, all of which flowed out in a blink of an eye.
Liu Jun's account was empty again, and the nine-headed bird only had a batch of property left to sell in the hands of Lu Weizhang and Zhao Zhen. It is estimated that that the property can bring back about 300,000 taels of silver for the nine-headed bird, but it cannot be realized immediately for a while and a half, and it will take time.
Fortunately, after the large sum of money was spent, everything was already on track.
However, outsiders do not know the true situation of Liu Jun, such as Zhu Dadian, the governor of Yunyang, who stared at Liu Jun closely. I didn't see Liu Jun's huge expenses, but only saw Liu Jun's Yingcheng Salt Farm, and suddenly got a million taels of silver, and issued lottery tickets, and got 100,000 taels of silver again.
Looking at Liu Jun's large sums of money, Zhu Dadian, a famous corrupt official who had to pluck his feathers and scrape three feet of land, couldn't help it.
This Liu Jun received more than one million taels of silver in a short period of time, and as Liu Jun's boss, shouldn't he share a benefit? Even if you take one percent, it will be more than 100,000 taels of silver.
Moreover, Zhu Dadian is now in urgent need of silver, so he recruited all the Yunyang soldiers that Liu Jun had dismissed into the Fubiao battalion, and recruited more than 7,000 additional people, making his Fubiao battalion reach 13,000 people, restoring the original scale of Yunyang soldiers and horses. Trouble ensued.
Although it is certainly very impressive to have four battalions of soldiers and horses under his command, it is not cheap to maintain such an army.
It turned out that the Yunyang soldiers needed more than 200,000 yuan a year for food and salary, and more than 20,000 taels of silver every month. And now the imperial court has no money and food to pay, and everything has to be done on its own. Zhu Dadian searched everywhere during this time, but Yunyang's treasury had already been empty when Xiong Wencan and Yang Sichang were there.
Now Zhu Dadian is barely able to supply the grain of these standard camps, but after a while, when it is time to pay salaries, if Zhu Dadian can't come up with silver to pay them, then it will be difficult for this standard camp to continue. In the worst case, there may be a situation of commotion or even mutiny.
Zhu Dadian himself is very rich, although he was born poor, but he has been a local magistrate all these years, and he has been greedy for millions of family fortunes. But let him take money out of his pocket to raise soldiers, then he would never be willing.
"Didn't Liu Jun just raise 100,000 taels of silver, since it is a salary, of course the silver raised must have a share of the Fubiao camp." It was Zhu Dadian's son Zhu Wanhua who spoke, and he was also a very brave young man. Like his father, he also had a good eye for the 100,000 taels of silver raised by Liu Jun.
However, Zhu Wanhua still knew that Liu Jun was not an ordinary general soldier. didn't buy his Lao Tzu's face very much, so he didn't dare to say that the salary raised by Liu Jun had to be transferred by the governor, only that there was also a share of their Fubiao camp.
Logically speaking, this is indeed the case. Since this money is in the name of collecting donations. Then the Fubiao Battalion, as a soldier and horse in Yunyang Town, should of course have their share of the salary.
"Yunyang now has 10 battalions of soldiers and horses, Liu Jun's 4th battalion of Zhenbiao 2nd guerrilla battalion, and 4th battalion of a certain Fubiao. Then the hundred thousand taels of silver. Each battalion should also be divided equally according to this, and Liu Jun should give us 40,000 taels of silver to Fubiao Battalion. A general said.
Zhu Dadian nodded, he didn't expect to get the right to transfer the ten taels of silver. But he had to at least get his share.
He didn't even ask for half of it, he only asked for an equal share according to the battalion, and only took forty percent, thinking that Liu Jun couldn't even refuse such a request.
Zhu Dadian did not send anyone to summon Liu Jun to meet him, he sent his son Zhu Wanhua to meet Liu Jun in person at Liu Jun's General Military Mansion.
In the mansion of the general army, Liu Jun personally met with Zhu Wanhua and listened carefully to Zhu Wanhua's words conveyed to Zhu Dadian.
"This request of Lord Futai is very reasonable and reasonable." Liu Jun nodded first, and then changed the conversation, "However, Lord Futai doesn't know that the lottery tickets issued this time will issue 250,000 taels of lottery tickets, with a bonus of 175,000 taels, and then there will be 15,000 taels of printing and distribution publicity and other costs, so the final income is 60,000 taels of silver, not 100,000 taels!" ”
When Zhu Wanhua heard this, he hurriedly said, "This account is not right, didn't the winners all pay taxes, and the twenty-percent prize tax is thirty-five thousand taels." ”
Liu Jun smiled slightly, "Gongzi also knows that this is a reward tax, so this money naturally has to be handed over to the imperial court." ”
"Hand it over to the court?" Zhu Wanhua was stunned for a moment, and then looked like you were a deceitful ghost, and the money raised for donations actually had to be handed over to the imperial court, what a fool.
"Taxes are taxes, donations are donations, these are two different things, and they can't be confused." Liu Jun ignored his skeptical expression at all, and continued, "The Governor understands what the Lord Governor means, and of course there is a share of this donation from the Fubiao Camp. However, we have 50,000 soldiers and horses in Yunyang Town, 10,000 Fubiao battalions, 40,000 other battalions, 60,000 taels of silver are divided equally among each battalion, and the 10,000 Fubiao battalion of the governor is 12,000 taels. ”
"Twelve thousand taels? No, no, no, no, the number is not right, it is not counted that way. A total of more than 100,000 taels of silver, even if you deduct the fraction for your issuance expenses, there are still 100,000 yuan, ten battalions in Yunyang, and four battalions under my father, which deserve 40,000 silver. ”
"Zhu Gongzi miscalculated, the imperial court gave Yunyang 50,000 soldiers, 10,000 governors and general soldiers, and the following deputy generals and generals and guerrilla garrisons. How can the Fubiao camp be 12,000? Moreover, this salary was given to 50,000 soldiers and horses in the entire Yunyang Town, and in addition to the soldiers in Yunyang, the soldiers and horses from other places also shared. As for the taxes, I still say that they are for the court and the emperor, and they can't be used privately. ”
"I don't think so, I don't know which pocket the tax money went into."
Liu Jun snorted coldly twice, "The silver is there, 12,000 taels, if Lord Futai is not satisfied, then forget it." ”
These words already smell a bit of gunpowder.
If it weren't for Liu Jun's lack of wanting to be too incompatible with Zhu Dadian, he wouldn't want to give this 12,000 taels. But Zhu Dadian is the governor anyway, his top boss, and he has 10,000 soldiers designated by the emperor in his hands.
Now Liu Jun has given Zhu Dadian a copy, and he also hopes that Zhu Dadian can understand the situation and not get an inch. As long as Zhu Dadian is willing to cooperate, Liu Jun is still willing to give Zhu Dadian the benefits, win-win cooperation, and share the benefits.
Zhu Wanhua was annoyed, flicked his sleeves and left, but he didn't ask for the 12,000 taels of silver. Because he thinks that now that he has taken this money, it will be difficult to settle accounts with Liu Jun when he turns back. If he doesn't take it now, Liu Jun will have to send more silver when he returns, and when he leaves, he really thinks so.
Back to the governor's yamen, Zhu Dahua recounted the conversation with Liu Jun in the General Military Mansion as it was, Zhu Dadian heard that he repeatedly backed down, but Liu Jun still didn't give half of the face, and he asked for 40,000 taels, but Liu Jun only gave 12,000, and what taxes and costs did he bring, what kind of damn ghost.
I have never heard that the silver raised for donations is subject to taxes, nor have I heard that the cost of printing tens of thousands of lottery tickets is 15,000 taels of silver, which is too deceptive.
"Come on, go to the General Army's Mansion and pass Liu Jun to see Benfu." Zhu Dadian shouted angrily.
Immediately, someone from the governor's yamen ran to the general military palace to give an order, and the governor's yamen and the general army's yamen were both in the same city, so the order was soon delivered.
It's a pity that Liu Jun didn't hear the order right away, and went to send people back a reply.
"General Liu went to inspect the town standard camp for drills, and he was not in the Yamen of the General Army."
"Go to the town standard camp to spread the word, and let Liu Jun come to see Benfu!"
The people from the Yamen ran to the town standard barracks again, and ran several barracks in a row before they found Liu Jun, but after Liu Jun listened to the order, he just replied lightly, "I'm not free." ”
In just two words, it revealed endless contempt, and Zhu Dadian, who got this reply, was so angry that he almost went to the barracks to find Liu Jun in person. In the end, it was the master's persuasion that finally endured it.
The next day, Zhu Dadian sent someone to send Liu Jun to see him, but he still replied without time. This was the case for three days in a row, Zhu Dadian also understood that this Liu Jun was a trickster, he personally went to the patrol press yamen, and wanted to find the patrol press to complain about Liu Jun, but the patrol press Huang Daozhou was not in the yamen, and after careful inquiry, he learned that the last patrol press Yushi was tracking down the Yunyang Wei's invasion of Tuntian.
As soon as Zhu Dadian heard this, he immediately went home, he knew that the occupation of Tuntian by the officers of the guard station was a mud pit, and he couldn't get it at all. This Zodiac Zhou actually took the initiative to jump in, so it was better for him to stay away wisely, so as not to let himself get into the mud. He turned to Yang Tinglin, the deputy envoy of the prison army, but Yang Tinglin actually followed Huang Daozhou to investigate the matter of Tuntian.
After going around for a week, he returned to the original point, in this Yunyang Town, he, the governor, couldn't control the general soldiers of his subordinates. But this is indeed the case, he really can't control Liu Jun, all he can do is to write a chapter for impeachment to the imperial court, and wait for the result of the imperial court.
"Hey!"
After a long sigh, Zhu Dadian felt a little exhausted, he successively patrolled Shandong, Fengyang and Caoyun, and served as a military squire, but now he is the governor of Yunyang, but he has met such a domineering general as Liu Jun, who has never encountered such a thing before.
"Go and get back the twelve thousand taels of silver."
"That's it?" Zhu Dahua asked.
"Of course not." Zhu Dadian said hatefully, "However, let's get this silver back first." (To be continued......)
