Next to the newly established warehouse, Zhang Tie sorted out his thoughts, "If you say this, you really owe him a big favor." ”

Zhang Shun and the others on the side nodded in agreement, Zhang Tie really owes Deng Wei a lot of favors now.

"In that case, it's time to develop your own family business, and the current silver taels are estimated to be running out."

Zhang Tie said as he looked at Qiao Shan.

The current financial management is all handed over to Qiao Shan, and I have to say that Qiao Shan is really handy in this aspect of finance, and manages accounts and other things in an orderly manner.

In response to Zhang Tie's inquiry, Qiao Shan replied without thinking: "Lord Hui, it costs nearly one hundred taels a month to recruit craftsmen and cleaners now. Yesterday I went to check the number of recruits, and there were more than 600 recruits, and there were more than 400 veterans, plus more than 300 people in the third shift. ”

"Now the total number of troops is 1,400 men, and the monthly wages of ordinary soldiers and catchers are one tael of silver, and the centurion and the catcher are two taels of silver, and the monthly wages are 1,408 taels of silver. In times of war, wages have to be doubled. ”

Qiao Shan licked his dry lips and continued: "Also, some of the scribes in the yamen are excessive, that is, they are no longer on the imperial court roster. ”

"For those on the roster, the imperial court will pay them every three months, which is a lot, but these people who are in excess of the quota have to pay for them themselves, and they need almost a hundred taels of silver."

Qiao Shan took out the account book he carried with him from his cuffs, flipped it to the middle, and after confirming it, he continued: "Also, the imperial court will issue three thousand taels of silver every three months as the wages paid by the adults to soldiers and servants, but when I looked at the previous records, there were only about two thousand taels in my hand, and the other taels of silver did not know where to go. ”

Zhang Tie and the others were secretly frightened, although they all thought that the official silver issued by the imperial court would definitely be taken away from it, but they didn't expect it to be so much.

Qiao Shan also knew the inside story of this, and he didn't stay long, nor did he explore the reason, this is already a rule in the officialdom, with the strength of Zhang Shun and others now, he doesn't dare to make a mistake.

"Now the tax revenue of the stores in the county should be able to earn hundreds of taels a month."

"That is, the adults have to give out 1,000 taels of silver from it every month, and if they get 1,500 taels of silver."

When Qiao Shan finished reporting everything, Zhang Tie and the others were silent for a while.

Now Zhang Tie and others have more than 2,000 taels of silver, and then the income of the grocery store.

Although today's grocery store is not as popular as it was at the beginning, it still earns nearly 50 taels a day, and in a month, it is about 1,500 taels, which is just enough to pay the soldiers' wages.

However, such a small amount of silver is obviously not enough, and the border city county is the border of the Yan country, and every year in the autumn harvest season, the Mongols and Koreans have to cross the border and plunder the property of the border city county.

During this period of time, it was almost two months, and during this period of more than two months, the soldiers' wages were twice as much as they were in peacetime, because they had already entered the war period.

And once a soldier is injured or killed, it is necessary to pay a small amount.

The weapons and equipment on the soldiers' bodies also need money to repair, and the consumption of arrows also needs money, all of which are inseparable from money, so the most important thing for Zhang Tie and others now is to make money to support these soldiers.

Only with money, the soldier will work for you, don't leave him alone for the recruited, the system also has its rules.

For example, in the game, once the morale drops to a certain level, there will be deserters, and this is also the case in reality.

And now the only way for Zhang Tie and others to make money is to trade with other places like the Deng family.

In terms of trade, in fact, Zhang Tie's current situation is very good, first of all, the escort of the caravan, which can be called perfect.

Now Zhang Tie has a troop limit of more than four hundred, although the attributes are no longer superimposed as before, but it is still a large force.

Moreover, Zhang Tie could also put the previously recruited soldiers into his team, so that he could have more than four hundred escorts with the strength of second-rate warriors, so that he could form an escort of at least four caravans to escort the caravans to various places for trade.

In terms of specialties, I have to say that in this regard, Zhang Tie is still much better than others.

Nowadays, as long as the warehouse is renovated, a large amount of refined salt, wine, furs, fruits, etc.

These are very good specialties, especially refined salt, which will definitely sell at a high price, although it cannot be sold in Yan (it doesn't matter if it is a border city county), but it can be sold to other countries.

For example, inland Mongolia, Dali, Zhao, Shu and other countries are all large countries lacking salt, and they can sell these prohibited items that cannot be sold in Yan country.

As for transportation, for fear of being searched, those that do not exist are all system items, which can be put in the inventory, and in the future, as long as each caravan has a lieutenant, it can perfectly pass the inspection, reach the destination, trade with foreigners, and make huge profits.

When they heard that they had to pay so much money every month, Zhang Shun and the others were secretly surprised, they didn't expect it to be so much.

Zhang Tie was not very surprised, people who have experienced the era of big data still understand some of this. "Fortunately, I have already thought of a solution, let's discuss it with them tomorrow."

Zhang Tie waved his hand at several people. "It's a lot of money, and it seems that we have to find a way to make money."

"In this way, tomorrow I will call Yan Beichen, Liu Yi and others to have a small meeting in the backyard of the yamen to discuss how to make money."

"Then on the construction side, I'm going to renovate the warehouse and then I'm going to open the factory."

Zhang Tie said as he came to the warehouse that had just been built and renovated it.

Although he wanted to send something in his heart, Zhang Tie still wanted to hear what others thought, as the saying goes, three stinkers, don't you beat Zhuge Liang?

(That's you!) You know what I mean. ）

? (???????)?

[Warehouse: ...... Water word count xxxxx】

......

And just when Zhang Tie and others were about to open an iron-making factory, a young man was riding on the back of a red horse, holding a nomadic bow and holding a horse rope in one hand.

The boy is ten ** years old, heroic and sassy, and he is a rare beautiful boy.

The crimson horse beneath the boy seemed to be his body, and as the boy swayed slightly, the crimson steed shook with it.

The crimson steed galloped wildly across the racecourse, and the boy controlled the horse's speed a little, slowing it down a little, and then bringing it to balance.

Then his right hand suddenly released the rope that controlled the horse, and he took out a wolf's tooth arrow from the quiver hanging on the right side of the horse.

The young man directly bent his bow and arrow, took a slight aim, released his right hand that was holding the wolf's tooth arrow, and then re-grasped the horse rope of the master to control the horse.

With a whining sound, the wolf's tooth arrow hit the target fifty meters away, hitting the seven rings.

The Mongols are nomadic people, naturally there is no technology for planting, smelting and mining, and the iron basically comes from the Central Plains.

As early as hundreds of years ago, Mongolia had trade with the Central Plains and other countries mainly on silk and iron, which shows the scarcity of iron tools in Mongolia.

Usually Mongolian people use arrows made of beast bones to practice when they shoot arrows continuously, and the person in front of them can practice archery with wolf tooth arrows, which shows that his identity is extraordinary.

When the wolf's tooth arrow hit the target, there was a burst of applause not far away.

A man walked from outside the horse farm to a young man on horseback, dressed in a gray Mongolian robe, with long braids, a rough appearance, and a beard on his chin that was ten centimeters long.

The man clapped his hands and said to the young man on horseback: "Bayar, your archery skills are getting better and better now, and I believe that in a few years, you will be able to surpass your Abu (father) and become the number one warrior of the Tara tribe." ”

The Tara tribe, vassal of the Cree tribe, is the closest Mongol tribe to the border city county.

Bayard saw the comer, and drove his horse towards the comer. "Uncle, my current archery skills are far worse than my Abu."

Coming to his uncle, Bayar turned over and dismounted, patted the horse's head gently, the red horse seemed to be human, it seemed that Bayar glanced at it, flicked his tail and walked away.

Bayar's uncle looked at the crimson horse with admiration, and said with emotion: "Bayar, your Abu really loves you, and gave you this sweaty and bloody horse, it seems that the position of this patriarch will be yours in the future." ”

Bayar looked arrogant and nodded, agreeing with what his uncle said, as if he had become the patriarch of the Talu tribe.

"Uncle Ba Taide, it will be the autumn harvest of the Yan people in the near future, shouldn't we go and search for it?"

Ba Taide was embarrassed and said: "Bayar, when your father went to the Kereh tribe, he had an order, don't act rashly for the time being, and now that Yan has formed an alliance with our Mongolian country, I'm afraid it's not good to go." ”

Regarding what his uncle said, Bayar was obviously undeniable, and said with a disdainful face: "When did the Yan Kingdom form an alliance with my Mongolian State, it was just an alliance with the Qiyan tribe. “

"When will the Qiyan tribe replace our entire Mongolia."

Bayar's tone was filled with disdain for the Yan people and dissatisfaction with the Qiyan tribe, as if he was quite disgusted with his alliance with the Yan Kingdom.

"But."

It seemed that Bayard wanted to say something to change Bayar's thoughts, but was directly interrupted by Bayar.

"Nothing, uncle, we are warriors of the gods, eagles on the steppe, not birds raised in other people's homes."

"And what are you afraid of, our Tara tribe is loyal to the Kereh tribe, not his beggar tribe."

"As soon as the autumn harvest season arrives, send troops immediately!"

In the last sentence, Bayard was completely commanding, and after saying that, he turned around and shook his hands and left.

Batade, who stayed where he was, trembled his lips and finally let out a long sigh.
