The leaders of the Wulin League in the capital came one after another, and the top level that stayed in the capital was Qian Wanshan, the iron abacus of the Ministry of Finance, Qian Long, the leader of the beggar gang of the Ministry of Finance, and some elders, Yuqing Daoist led the elite disciples to go outside the gate to help Governor Yuan Chonghuan defend, and the other hall masters were also operating in their own territory, and it was impossible to arrive immediately, the four protectors Yun Peng, Yan Ruxue, and Leng Feng They were exterminating the thieves in SX and SC, and Huang Shen was now the commander of the Praetorian Guard.
There were more than 20 people who came to the living room to sit, and they were the branch elders of each faction in the capital, and everyone sat down one by one.
Xiao Lang'er walked in in high spirits, Qian Wanshan and Qiu Long immediately stood up, and everyone else followed suit, this is their young and promising alliance leader, who can command the world's martial arts, who dares to disobey, some elders have never seen Xiao Lang'er, but they were also conquered by Xiao Lang'er's heroism, his eyes were very bright.
"Sit down, I'd like to hear your achievements and prospects for the future, who will talk about it first. Xiao Lang'er's eyes scanned everyone, and he sat calmly on the main seat.
Everyone looked at each other and looked at Qian Wanshan and Qiu Long, after all, the two of them were the highest here, "Then I'll talk about it first!" Qian Wanshan said.
"I am in charge of the financial work of the Wulin League, collect the tribute of the four halls, first talk about the income of the four halls, the income of the two halls in the southeast is higher, the head of the eastern hall Yandang is Luo Ling, there are more than a dozen large and small gangs in his command, and the protection fee collected by each jurisdiction is a total of 200,000 taels, part of which is used as the expenses of the gang, and the total tax we take is 20,000 taels. The southern hall is presided over by Xue Qingfeng, the head of Hengshan, with a total income of 130,000 taels, and our league draws 13,000 taels. In the past few years, it can be said that he cannot make ends meet, and he can only barely make ends meet, and he can barely make ends meet. The northern hall is presided over by Hua Zixuan, the head of Songshan, and the drought in the Central Plains is also struggling, relying on the dart silver to earn a little living expenses, they send a thousand taels of silver to the property group, and the income of these four halls is like this.
Our financial group in the alliance under the planning of the leader, this year in the southeast coast opened a few money villages, now a total of seven money villages, BJTJ Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Wuchang, Weihai, and Xi'an these seven, each point of the start-up capital is 150,000 taels, this is the alliance to take the funds, now all put into it, to help the merchants around the urgent need of funds, the first year is the key to build our reputation, our money village is called Fuyuan money village, each money village recruited a shopkeeper, five good at calculating the guys, monthly expenditure of one hundred taels, a total of seven hundred taels。 Due to its abundant funds and the backing of the Wulin League, Fuyuan Qianzhuang has now accumulated popularity among merchants, and is currently in a slight surplus.
This year, we have imported a lot of grain from overseas, which has slightly alleviated the hunger of the victims, and we have also purchased silk, brocade and tea, and transshipped them out, and our income is still very considerable, with a total income of 508,000 taels, mainly because of the relatively high profits from doing business with foreign merchants.
Another is to open six grain stores in the capital and along the coast, we imported corn, wheat, flour, sweet potatoes, and some dried fruits from overseas, and our prices are twice as low as other grain stores, half of which are sold to city residents, and the other half are porridge to the hungry. After speaking, he looked at Xiao Lang'er, Xiao Lang'er looked at him approvingly, and expressed satisfaction with his work, he only gave one million taels to the property group, and he earned half of it in a year.
The white-bearded dragon stood up, carrying nine cloth bags full of patches, clenched into fists, and said, " Alliance leader, our gang is mainly to probe information, spread the alliance leader's order, I help the disciples are now more and more, so it is very convenient to inquire about information, and the attention is also emphasized by the alliance leader, one is the disaster, one is the banditry, and the other is the captivity, I will talk about the disaster first, this year the Central Plains is a major drought, the people are not harvested, and they are waiting for the court to provide disaster relief, but the officials below are still forced to collect taxes and silver, the people can not survive, more and more victims are thrown into the ranks of the rebels, and now the more and more chaotic, the root cause is still no food。
Now that the kings from all walks of life occupy the state capital, SXSXSC is already the territory of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, in the eyes of bandits. Another is that the Jurchens outside the gate are also encroaching step by step, and they have already pointed to the Guanning defense line, but fortunately, there is Commander Yuan to lead the defense, and our Yuqing Daoist led the elite of the Wulin League to assist in the defense, and there were heavy casualties, some of the Jurchen masters are too powerful, and now it is the stage of stalemate, and our league has sent some elite disciples to reinforce. Qiu Long said with a grim face.
"How's our Dragon Guard?" Xiao Lang'er asked.
"Fortunately, there is also the Dragon Hidden Guard, otherwise the big wall will fall into the hands of bandits, the Dragon Hidden Guard now has a thousand people, this is the number of people required by the emperor, he is also afraid that we will grow, at the beginning there were only a dozen people, it was the commander of the Yellow Wound, after the military exploits, the emperor was promoted to the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and slowly the number of people increased, now it is a thousand people, it is this Thousand Dragon Hidden Guard warriors, led by Yun Peng, Leng Feng and Yan Ruxue Honghua Niangdian Xiao Er, defeated the rebel army of hundreds of thousands of people, the emperor gave a major reward, but there is no military salary, it all depends on our own preparation, we can only call the righteous army。 ”
Xiao Lang'er nodded when he heard the battle report, expressing his agreement, and he also knew some information from Huang Wound's mouth.
Xiao Lang'er listened to the reports of all parties, in general, their work is positive, the main task now is disaster relief, not to make money, disaster relief can accumulate people's hearts, lay the foundation for future operations, can earn more money, and one is to deal with the rebels, as long as the rebels dare not expand again, solve the problem of eating, these bandits are still very easy to handle, otherwise a batch of extermination, and a batch of growth, it is impossible to prevent it.
"So the key issue is the problem of hukou, now the disaster is so serious, what is the point of us making more money, in the future to focus on production, each gang does not have its own grange, to engage in production, after all, we have the strength to protect ourselves, recruit disaster victims to plant, especially some areas with good water conservancy, such as the east and south, that is, the west and north also have some good water conservancy, from this year onwards, each Tangkou to Tuntian one million mu, this is still less, plant some drought-resistant crops, we brought back some crops from all over the South Seas this time, first try to plant, to see if we can expand the scale of productionAs long as the problem of eating is solved, I think we will have to make money in the future. This is one aspect, the development of production, the protection of production.
There is also a way to solve the problem of the disaster victims, that is, to move our disaster victims to the island, where there is no shortage of food, there are all kinds of fruits, there are fish and shrimp in the sea, at least they will not starve to death, and we will start to mobilize and recruit some disaster victims to survive overseas in the spring of next year to alleviate the disaster situation in the interior. This requires a large number of ships, go to various shipyards to buy a hundred ships, each can run two hundred victims, first transfer hundreds of thousands of people, our goal is not to starve to death, not to force people, as long as you follow us, you will have something to eat, do well and get a monthly salary. Our two strategies are mainly to alleviate the disaster situation, one is to develop large-scale production, and the other is to develop the Great South Seas. I hope you will start preparing now, inform all parties of my strategy, strictly implement it, don't be afraid to spend money, if you need to spend money, just look for me and Brother Qian Wanshan. ”
Everyone present nodded frequently, this alliance leader is okay, and suddenly grasped the key to the problem.
