Chapter 1241: Here Comes the Silver
"Didn't pay them?!" He Jinsheng was shocked, he didn't believe that the imperial court would do this: "How is it possible, San Lang is a hundred households, and he and the soldiers of the division can get silver every month." Dou Shaodong glanced at He Jinsheng, pointed at him with the account book in his hand, and said, "Tut, Ben Shaodong's family knows why you can't get into Xiucai, because you are stupid." He Jinsheng didn't get admitted to Xiucai twice in the exam, and his heart was already very uncomfortable, and when he heard this, his eyes were red with anger: "Dou Shaodong, saying that people don't expose their shortcomings, even if what I said is wrong, you don't have to expose my scars, right?" Dou Shaodong: "Heh, what's wrong with revealing your scars?" If you go to a foreign place and encounter a sloppy person, not to mention exposing your scars, it is possible to kill you. He added: "Qin Baihu and they do get military salaries every month, but do you know how these military salaries come from?" It was General Guo who got his own ideas to distribute it to the soldiers, and the soldiers in other prefectures and cities were not so good. ”
"As early as the drought in the northwest, the imperial court began to reduce the military salaries of the southern provinces, from three percent, to half, and finally seven percent. In addition, all kinds of military funds have also been reduced, horses, weapons, medicinal materials, clothing, shoes, food, etc., more than half of which have been cut. ”
"These are still good, after all, Jianghuai and Jiangnan are rich, and they can still feed the soldiers, but Zhongzhou is different. I have a business in Zhongzhou, and I know that they have not paid silver since last winter, and eat two thin meals a day, and this year, during the Chinese New Year, they can't even afford meat, and it is the soldiers who go up to the mountains to hunt and eat meat during the New Year. Dou Shaodong's family said a lot of things other than Jianghuai, which frightened He Jinsheng so much that he couldn't speak, and he fell to the ground.
Gu Dexing helped him up, and asked Dou Shaodong with a pale face: "Is the situation over there in Zhongzhou really so bad?" Why can't even the soldiers in the barracks have enough to eat? Didn't the emperor and the adults know that something big would happen? "Once something happens in the military camps of various provinces, it's not a joke, and Da Chu may ...... Gu Dexing didn't dare to think about those two words, he had experienced running away from famine, and he was very afraid of the days when he ran for his life without knowing where he was staying.
Dou Shaodong said: "The emperor and the adults are naturally clear, so they have not reduced the military salaries in the northwest, northeast, and Zhili. As for why the south side was reduced, because the south side was rich and there was no war in the south, the emperor and the adults felt that as long as the soldiers in the south did not starve to death, it would be done. "Zhongzhou is more miserable, it belongs to neither north nor south, and it should not have been reduced in military salaries, but now the treasury is empty, and the emperor and adults feel that if something happens in Zhongzhou, they can send Jianghuai's soldiers to suppress it, so they reduced Zhongzhou's military salaries, resulting in the current situation.
He Jinsheng is a scholar, he couldn't accept it after hearing it, and said with tears in his eyes: "Why is this happening? It's just a drought, it's been a few years, why hasn't it eased up? ”
"Ha, fool, who told you it was all a drought?" Dou Shaodong's family sneered: "Why don't you follow Ben Shaodong's people to deliver goods in other places?" After a walk, you'll know what the problem is. But you're so weak, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back. "The reason why Dou Shaodong's family knows about the military camps of various prefectures is because the soldiers also have to live, so they accept his money and help him escort goods where there are mountain bandits.
After hearing this, He Jinsheng cried even more and asked, "Then will something happen to our Jianghuai?" Dou Shaodong's house: "The two prefectures near Zhongzhou have been in chaos, Hushan Mansion is not easy to say, He'an Mansion has a new money village, as long as the farmers have the silver to pay taxes, they should be able to survive this time." Linhe Mansion is close to Jiangnan, it is a natural risk in Jiangnan, and it is relatively wealthy, and there are some wealthy families and local noble families, if they want to live, they will not let Linhe Mansion be in chaos. "So when they opened a new bank, they counted Baigu County, which is close to He'an Province in Hushan Mansion, and as long as the money was sufficient, they would build a new money village in Baigu County and lend money to the people of Baigu County.
As long as Baigu County is not chaotic, He'an Mansion will be able to get one
The "natural danger city wall" keeps all disasters out of Baigu County. But now that the money is tight, I don't even know if He'an Mansion can be stabilized, let alone Baigu County.
He Jinsheng couldn't say a word when he heard it, and wept silently. Gu Jinan saw it and didn't comfort him, since he wanted to take a career in office, it would be good to know these sinister things in advance.
He said: "Don't cry, hurry up and calculate all the accounts clearly, and see how much silver needs to be left to be enough for the farmers in Tianfu County and the three nearby counties?" After the accounts were calculated, Dou Shaodong's family kept the money. After the silver is retained, the rest of the silver will be transported to the new money village in Luchang County. ”
"Transported to the money village in Luchang County, don't you transport it to Fucheng first?" He Jinsheng wiped his tears and asked puzzled.
Dou Shaodong smiled: "You idiot, what are you going to Fucheng for?" Are those old men in Fucheng dead? With so much money at home, are you still waiting for Lao Tzu to save them? It's time for them to bleed a little. "Dou Ou Qianzhuang is just a hope and an introduction, used to lure out other rich people, just relying on him and the Ouyang family and the Gu family to get money, even if the family is bankrupt, it can't do this thing.
After listening to this, He Jinsheng felt that he was really a fool, and today he learned that he was far from Brother An, and he didn't know anything about the outside except for a little thing in Tianfu County.
He Jinsheng stood up, bowed to Dou Shaodong's family, and said, "Jin Sheng, thank you brothers for your teachings. Dou Shaodong cut it and said, "Don't fix these sour things, hurry up and work." As he spoke, he slammed and put a stack of rosters directly in front of He Jinsheng: "This is the roster of farmers who borrowed money from our money bank, you calculate how much profit these people will pay next month according to the roster, and then get out the list of collecting profits, and you will use it next month, don't be lazy!" "Recently, they have been busy not only opening a new bank, but also collecting the next month's profits, and they are really busy not even having time to drink water.
"This, so much?" He Jinsheng's face was blue, he had also stayed up for a few days, he was tired enough, seeing this large stack of rosters, thinking about the next work he was going to do, he couldn't wait to faint to death.
"yes, so you hurry up and get to work, don't grind." Dou Shaodong said, and after drinking a cup of warm tea that lowered the fire, he also began to get busy.
"Young master, Old Man Xu's ancestors and grandchildren are here, saying that they are looking for you for something." Dou Zhi stood outside the door and said towards Dou Shaodong's house.
After hearing this, Dou Shaodong glanced at Gu Dexing and said, "Old man Xu? So what did the old fox come to do? Ben Shao's owner is busy, I don't see. "Damn, if you don't come sooner or later, after they stabilize Tianfu County, the old fox will come.
Want to pick up ready-made, isn't it, is it so easy to take advantage of his surname Dou?
