Chapter Seventy-Eight: Donating Money Won't Let You Go
Wu Weizi, who was a ruthless and black-hearted man, knew nothing about the thoughts in his heart, and when he saw that there were officers and soldiers coming to reinforce him, he was very happy with Li Xianling and others, just as the saying goes, "like the hope of a great drought." Although Wu Wei is quite confident in the combat power of the Ansai battalion, after all, he has not been tested by the big battle, and he is a little bottomless in his heart, and the defeat of Gao Yingxiang is closer to child's play, and now he is still ignorant in retrospect as if in a dream. No matter how unbearable the regular officers and soldiers are, after all, they have been entangled with the rogues for many years, and their combat experience must be rich, and Wu Wei has already made up his mind to learn from both hands. And Li Xianling has a lot of relationship with this Wang Zhen, his daughter is engaged to Wang Ze, the son of Wang Tongzhi, this time, the two are also in-laws, so he treats Wang Zhen even more enthusiastically.
Wang Zhen saw that everyone had arrived, cleared his throat, arched his hand to Li County's order, and said: "This official led an army of 6,000 to Ansai this time, specifically to deal with the "two kings" of the rogue Kou, it is necessary to keep one of the Sangzi safe, and he will never give up if he does not break the thief, you can rest assured." Everyone in the hall was full of praise and praise, and even Li County Ling said a few words of gratitude. Seeing this, Wang Zhen was very proud, and his words changed, "It's just, hey, these days, the big-headed soldiers are pitiful, in the cold winter and the moon, many people don't even have a little cotton clothes, this way, before the thieves have seen it, my soldiers have frozen to death several times!" "Everyone is stunned, and the play meat is coming. Sure enough, Wang Zhen continued: "It is said that the emperor is not a hungry soldier, but now the court is struggling with money and food, and we have more than 10,000 officers and soldiers under Yan'an Wei, and we have not been paid a penny for more than ten months!" This sentence is both true and false, although there is no salary, but the grain and grass can still be allocated, plus the grain produced by the military canton, the food can still be maintained, although because of the officer's deduction, the ordinary soldiers are only barely half-starved and half-full, but compared to the common people, it is already strong to the sky. But Lord Wang is worthy of being an acting school, and he doesn't know which affection is touched when he speaks, or he feels sad that he can't get any oil and water in this poor place, and his eyes are red when he speaks.
Everyone disagreed, who didn't know that although the imperial court owed salaries, officers at all levels ate empty quotas, occupied service, and plundered soldiers. But this can only be said in my heart, this Wang Zhen complained in front of everyone, but in order to ask everyone to donate a sum in the name of the labor army, but this is also the proper meaning of the question, and it is impossible to hide. The gentry present had experienced a lot of similar situations, and they had already been psychologically prepared, and at this time they all expressed their attitudes, shouted grievances for the soldiers who were loyal to the country, and offered to work for the army!
Wang Zhen couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he saw everyone doing this, and then listened to everyone donate the amount, but his face was gloomy. It turned out that the more than 20 gentry present were all well-known figures in Ansai, but the number of donations shouted out of their mouths was pitiful, and the good people of Wang shouted here: "I donate 5 taels of silver!" Over there, Li Yuanwai said: "I'll donate two stones of millet!" "Roughly calculated, the total is only more than 100 taels of silver, more than 20 stone rice, your sister, just this has to be shared with these henchmen and generals, you are a sprinkler to ask for food? He held back his anger and said in a deep voice: "Our army is a soldier under the control of the imperial court, and the supply of grain and straw should not be a troublesome place, but since the fathers and elders are so attentive, this official is better to obey his orders than to be respectful." It's just that I've heard of Ansai's rich side, and when I see it today, I'm afraid that the rumors are untrue. â
His words were sarcastic, and everyone only didn't hear them, but instead vented their bitterness, saying that although they had been a little more relaxed recently, they had suffered disasters for eight consecutive years, and there was really no surplus food at home. Li Xianling saw that it was not a problem, he wanted to help Wang Zhen, so he said: "Okay, don't complain, you have to coax outsiders with these words." General Wang led the army this time and came to Ansai without hesitation, why? Isn't it to save your lives? Isn't that a rogue, a hundred thousand people, if one is not careful, the official and everyone will be loyal to the country! According to the rules of ancient times, it is the duty of the gentry to sacrifice the army, and Lord Wang is honest and loves the people, and is polite to everyone, but the more this is the case, the more we Ansai people cannot lose our courtesy! â
Wu Wei didn't know that Li Xianling was related to Wang Zhen, so when he saw this, he naturally wanted to express his support for Li Chong, stood up and said loudly: "The Great Order is right, Lord Wang led the troops to protect the safety of our lives and property, and we can't let the soldiers shed blood and tears!" I pledged 100 taels of silver! â
Everyone heard Li County's words, and they just pouted in their hearts, everyone knew what kind of virtue the officers and soldiers were, and what did they say about the 6,000 army, half of the actual number was good, and what did they say that they worked tirelessly, not to keep the official hat on their heads? But Li County's prestige has skyrocketed recently because of Wu Wei, and everyone dare not disobey, and is preparing to double the donation figure, but it is also perfunctory, but Wu Wei's words are amazing, a donation is 100 taels, and the market has increased more than ten times at once! It's just that everyone knows that Wu Wei is the real God of Wealth on everyone's head, and if he offends him, there is no good fruit to eat, and everyone is much more afraid of him than Li County. had no choice but to secretly scold Wu for being a loser, and at the same time increasing the number of his own "donations".
Wang Zhen calculated in his heart that the amount of donations pledged by everyone this time was more than 1,000 taels of silver and 300 stone meters, which greatly exceeded his psychological expectations. Wang Zhen calculated in his heart that the changes in everyone should be mainly because of Li Countyling's words, but it is somewhat related to this Wu Wei's taking the lead in pledging, and this kid is also clever. Originally, according to the rules, the official received your money, and he shouldn't come back to make it difficult for you, but you casually donated 100 taels of silver, which is more than the largest family in Ansai, and I am afraid that there will be no tens of thousands of taels of net worth, which makes this how can the official let you go, hehe, blame you for not having the strength to take advantage of so much money, and you don't know how to converge, anyway, sooner or later you will be calculated by others, so it is better to be cheaper and I will calculate.
In fact, the unspoken rule of officialdom at any time is to save zĂ i, collecting money to do things is the mainstream value, and killing people and seizing money will not work most of the time. In this era, the older businessmen do not have a little background background, their own families are flourishing, not to mention the intertwined relationships, many of them are scholars themselves, and the local court has Olympic aid, enjoying a variety of privileges, and they have access to financial roads and financial resources. Even if it's just a showman, the same year's teacher or something is a big push, and if you don't get it right, you will stab the hornet's nest! An outlier like Wu Wei is one in ten thousand, and hurriedly got himself a resume of Liaodong Xiucai, whose origin is suspicious and can be known, and he is a rootless outsider, alone, with no family background behind him, but he has accumulated a lot of silver wealth, just like a child walking in the downtown with a huge amount of money, replaced by someone else, and died eight hundred times early.
The reason why Wu Wei has not been remembered until now is that as soon as Wu Weifu arrived in Ansai, he had a good relationship with the local supreme governor Li Xianling and Sun Jiaoyu, and formed an alliance of interests, and most of the credit was given to the boss, which was very low-key; Second, Wu Wei rose too fast, he had unique conditions, with the help of modern time and space, all kinds of equipment, technology and even industrial silver directly transported to the end of the Ming Dynasty, so that Ansai's economy achieved an explosive leap in such a short period of time, which exceeded the ordinary people's cognition, and many people have not yet reacted; Thirdly, the Ansai camp established by Wu Wei is also famous in the surrounding area, not to mention the defeat of Gao Yingxiang, and the friction with the surrounding small stream of rogues also showed extraordinary combat power, and the surrounding ideas were basically taken down.
And Wang Zhen is different from others, he is the highest military commander of the local Yan'an Guard, the military attache is not as taboo as the civilian official, and the courage to do nonsense is much greater, he usually hides defeat as victory, and he has done a lot of things to kill good and take credit. It's just that he can't beat a large stream of gangsters, and he doesn't have the ability to eat black, and he doesn't dare to provoke the local gentry, so that only ordinary people and small businessmen from other places can make up their minds, but the territory of northern Shaanxi is too poor, the land is barren and the people are poor, and business travel is scarce, so how much oil and water can there be? Now seeing that Ansai is so rich, Wu Wei is a foundationless person, so he is naturally very red-eyed and wants to take it quickly. And it's not that he's arrogant, but he has no concept of the strength of the Ansai camp at all, because nowadays, there are many large and small regimental exercises in the local area, dozens of people are also called regimental training, and even if the regimental training of hundreds of people is a few large villages and villages, he thinks that Wu Wei's situation is much the same. Moreover, since Wu Wei has engaged in so many industries, I heard that there are hundreds of hectares of land, and it is normal to have two or three hundred regiments to practice, and the larger caravans still have a bodyguard. But no matter what, it's just a bunch of mud legs who have never seen the world, I'm afraid they can't even hold a knife steadily, how can they compare with the 3,000 elite soldiers they brought? Wu is training the general soldiers for this regiment is even more of a joke in his eyes, he has no grade or rank, but he is just a militia leader, and in the eyes of Lord Wang, it is not worth mentioning.
It's a pity that Wu Wei is not the soft persimmon in his mind, he has more than 2,000 well-equipped and well-trained strong soldiers, but in this era, the transportation is inconvenient and the information is blocked, so that Wang Zhen has no idea about Wu Wei's real strength. If he had visited the Ansai camp drill with Zhang Bangyan, he would not have rashly beaten Wu Wei's idea, because the hundreds of well-trained young men on the school field at that time were enough to dispel any inappropriate thoughts.
Wu Wei didn't have a good or bad opinion of this Wang commander, although he seemed to be wrong when he looked at him, but he never imagined the relationship between him and that Wang Tong's son, otherwise he would have been wary of him from the beginning. He donated this 100 taels of silver completely to Li County Ling face, he is now worth more than 300,000 taels, although it is not as strong as those Jin merchants in Shanxi who have been operating for a hundred years, but it is far from being comparable to the ordinary gentry in northern Shaanxi, don't say that donating 100 taels of silver, is to bear the so-called 6,000 army of grain and straw is also competent and happy!
