Chapter 184: Grain Merchants, Pocket Money, and Banks

At this time, Wang Zhi did not know that the Ming Dynasty, which had serious internal friction, was going to send three soldiers and horses to fight him, although the number was definitely not 100,000, but 30,000 was definitely there, this is the treatment that only the great thief had, but it fell to him, a little-known guy, I don't know how much force the will of the universe used to make the Ming Dynasty issue a will without pulling the skin and send troops without delay.

The imperial court has the habit of writing the decree in the newspaper and copying it all over the world, so half a month after the order was issued, almost all the world knew that there was a big thief in northern Shaanxi, and let the court dispatch a total of 100,000 people to encircle and suppress the three-way army, which was the treatment of wild boar skin back then, but it was strange why there was no name of this thief in the newspaper, just called it by the king thief, is this person surnamed Wang Ming thief?

Wang Zhi, who didn't know that he was about to be surrounded and suppressed by a large army, was now very distressed.

After he took the troops to Yulin City, he had been resting here for five days, and according to his original plan, the troops would stay here for at least half a month, in short, until the New Year of the Overworld had passed.

For such a long time, it is naturally impossible to eat, drink and have fun every day, plus Yulin City was originally the place where he planned to focus on development, and at least eighty percent of the construction personnel brought with him with the army should be left here, so he was ready to start construction, recruiting troops and workers everywhere, in short, to expand his strength.

What Wang Zhi is worried about now is that there are too many applicants for this job, more than 6,000 people have been recruited in the past few days, and there are people from other places who are rushing to Yulin City, and it is expected that there may be more than 15,000 people, but the slogan that he shouted before that as long as he is a man in the prime of life, he will not refuse to come, and he cannot refuse to accept it, but the rations of so many people are really a little unaffordable.

The main world is about to celebrate the New Year, although the compressed biscuit factory has not stopped, but it has also been affected by the New Year, the production has been reduced by forty percent, and the base camp of the extended supply alone is a little reluctant, if it is not for the overtime work before to save some inventory, it may be that the supply of materials for new territories such as Yanchuan and Suide will be stopped, and now there are tens of thousands of more people to eat (counting the family of the call). How can you afford it!

As a last resort, Wang Zhi planned to do what he didn't want to do, to do business.

"Go and call all the grain merchants in the city."

According to Wang Zhi's political policy of first arresting grain merchants after breaking the city, then copying large households, investigating after copying, and killing after investigation, Yulin City has been crowded with people in the past few days. The merchants in the city were terrified, fearing that one day they would be arrested and killed.

As one of the nine sides, Yulin City is not as prosperous as Datong and Zhangjiakou, but it is also one of the passes leading to the outside of the Guan, and there are merchants who do business with the outside of the city all the year round gather here. Among them are grain merchants, they transported grain from other places here, and they cannot be convicted of hoarding and embezzling official grain, so they did not kill them, but this does not mean that they are not guilty, who knows who they transported grain to sell to, most of them were sold to the Cypriots, Mongolia has been conquered by the Later Jin, and the trade with Mongolia can be regarded as a foreign enemy, so they did not let them go. Still in prison.

Now that there is not enough food to eat, Wang Zhi thought of these grain merchants again, since they have great powers enough to deliver food and materials to Houjin, they will definitely be able to deliver food for themselves.

One of the military laws of the Wang family army is that it is not allowed to abuse prisoners and prisoners (dare to blow up and assassinate them directly), so these grain merchants did not suffer any abuse in prison, but after suffering from prison, their spirits were still relatively sluggish, and as soon as they saw Wang Zhi, they immediately knelt down to see it.

In the world of the late Ming Dynasty, there were basically few good businessmen who could become big. The collusion between officials and businessmen is an entry volume, and there is no simple one who can deliver grain to the border pass, so Wang Zhi has no good face for these people, and said coldly: "It has been ascertained." You are not guilty, and now I will release you, and as for your food, I will buy it by my Wang Jiajun, and this is the payment for the goods. ”

After speaking, Wang Zhiyi signaled. An attendant next to him immediately carried a cardboard box to the grain merchant, opened it, and took out a mirror.

This box of small mirrors is still the goods that Wang Zhi prepared when he discovered the No. 1 World when he planned to use the space-time merchants, but it was never used, and it was almost gray in the pocket of the fourth dimension, and it was only today that I remembered it and used it to send these grain merchants.

Because in Daying City, there are many large mirrors in the place where you get up in the morning to wash your face and brush your teeth, and everyone can use them, so the guards on duty nearby and Wang Zhi's herald are not interested in this small round mirror that is just bigger than a palm, but we have seen a large mirror that is one zhang long.

However, those grain merchants can not be calm, glass mirrors they have seen many people, the middle and late Ming Dynasty and Europe trading is still relatively developed, of course, this is just a folk activity, if the emperor dares to show a little interest in interfering in this transaction, maybe the ministers will dare to Qing Jun side, the Ming Dynasty is a large land, industry and commerce are developed, generally overseas barbarians take real money and silver to buy things in the Ming Kingdom, but sometimes overseas barbarians will also bring some good things, such as all kinds of fire guns and this kind of glass mirror.

And this glass mirror is much larger than those small mirrors that are not as big as a palm from Xiyi Hongmaofan, and it shines more clearly, but the outer edging is not exquisite enough, but it looks like some kind of jade.

"This kind of rare thing is very favored by those poor and luxurious salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, as long as it is shipped back, it is definitely a profitable business." As merchants, these grain merchants suddenly saw the value of these mirrors.

"These mirrors are the payment for the goods, you take them yourself, and I have many bigger mirrors here, even one-person tall dressing mirrors. Whoever brings grain over, I will sell him a mirror, and if anyone can bring 10,000 stone of grain, I will sell him a one-man high dressing mirror. ”

After speaking, Wang Zhi left the grain merchants with a look of ecstasy, arranged for a herald to entertain them, and left by himself, he was very busy now, but he didn't have so much time to waste on these grain merchants. As long as it is profitable, these people will definitely bring food.

After leaving the former General Military Mansion, where he was temporarily staying, Wang Zhi went straight to the barracks.

Because he thought that the army had followed him for more than a long journey, and he should rest and rest, Wang Zhi arranged for each battalion to take turns on vacation, and as a result, something happened during this holiday.

It's a holiday, the soldiers are definitely going out of the barracks to the city to play, a play, you have to consume it, they can't look down on the food and play, after all, they are people who eat meat every day, but there is a place, these soldiers on vacation want to go very much, that is, the green building.

In the past, when they were in Daying City, the soldiers could still watch a love action movie every once in a while and solve it with their hands, but when they came out to fight, on the march, Wang Zhi naturally wouldn't show them love action movies, and the soldiers usually lived together, and they didn't have time to secretly LU, and many people's physiology ** had been held back for more than a month, and they finally took a vacation and didn't solve the physiological problems.

But the problem is that Wang Zhi implements complete private ownership, that is, everything in the world is his, and the people below implement public ownership under this premise, eat a big pot of rice, and have no salary and silver, and go to the Qinglou to ask for money, but the soldiers have no money, and they dare not prostitute the overlord chicken.

In the past, when I was in Daying City, everyone ate a big pot of rice, and the soldiers ate meat at a time, and the family also raised it together, and there was no place to spend money at all, so everyone felt nothing without money, but now that they need to use money, they have opinions on the matter of not having money.

Intimidated by Wang Zhi's prestige and the strength to crush everything, the soldiers did not dare to openly say that they wanted to pay silver, but only talked about that they had no money to spend, and when there were more people talking about it, it reached the ears of the superior officers, and these officers had been instructed by Wang Zhi to care about the psychological dynamics of his subordinates and report any dissatisfaction of the soldiers in time, so they reported the matter to Wang Zhi.

After learning about this, Wang Zhi felt that this matter could not be taken lightly, otherwise it would become a big mess sooner or later, and after thinking about it for a while, he planned to give money to his subordinates. It is said that a soldier has seven or eight oceans a month, but whether or not to pay wages depends on the financial situation, and if the financial situation is good, the money will pay the salary, and then the communist army can go to consume, buy some needlework, haircuts, and tooth sacrifices, but the financial situation of the communist army, everyone knows, so the number of wages is very small, it gives people the impression that the communist army has no salary, in fact, it is actually about the same, there are cases of not paying wages for several years in difficult times, and there is no difference from no salary.

And Wang Zhi didn't pay his subordinates, not because of financial difficulties, even if he was in difficulty, he would not lack copper coins and silver, because these things were worthless in other worlds, he didn't even bother to look at them, and the copper coins and silver obtained by the big households were piled up in the warehouse and moldy. He didn't pay his salary because there was no commercial circulation in the camp, there was no need for money, and the appearance of money would inevitably lead to commercial activities, and he didn't want to destroy the atmosphere of public ownership in the camp, because there were not so many resources and energy to engage in business for the time being.

But when the troops are out, it will definitely not be able to affect the atmosphere in the camp, and it is naturally not a big deal to send money to the soldiers, but this money cannot be called silver, how can you ask for silver to serve the great General Wang Zhi, doesn't this become a life for money? It's so vulgar.

Standing on the high platform at the front end of the playground where the Ming army was originally drilling, Wang Zhi looked at the soldiers below: "Now I announce a new military order, and in the future, each regular army will have two yuan of pocket money per month." However, due to the daily drills and marches of soldiers, it is extremely inconvenient to put copper money on their bodies, so a bank is set up in the army, and everyone's pocket money is kept by the bank, and when you need to use the money, you can go to the bank with your soldier ID card to withdraw it. ”

Well, this bank is Wang Zhi's foundation for the future state-owned bank.

Hearing that there was pocket money to receive, many soldiers were quite happy at first, and later heard that the pocket money had to be kept by the bank, and many people were unhappy, but out of trust in Wang Zhi, no one put forward any opinions, they all believed that the general who could pile up the money in the treasury and moldy was not the kind of person who would deduct their pocket money. (To be continued.) )

PS: I'm going home tomorrow, although Jiangxi has good mountains, good water, good food, and good air, but it's not my own home after all.
