At the beginning of June, Fang Zhenru handed Huangshi a sum of silver, and the thirty soldiers he brought were all paid according to the power...... The sailors were also counted by him as soldiers, in addition to temporary servants, guides, and in the end fifty soldiers. Each soldier has one tael or four cents, a thousand total two taels, and Huangshi also has five taels of money, in addition to one stone of grain per person. This made him regret that he didn't bring more soldiers, and even more regretted that he didn't give Yang Zhiyuan and He Baodao more advanced military ranks.

"Lord Xie Fang. Huang Shi sang a fat promise, although the person in front of him looked righteous - the popularity of the living dead, he still cautiously asked: "Can this military salary not be paid first?"

"Huangshi, deducting military pay is a felony. "Zombie face appeared.

"The last will understand. ”

Fang Zombie took a breath, it seemed that he hadn't finished speaking, was he afraid that Huang Shi would dare to disobey the military order at this time?

"It's not once or twice that the arrears of military pay have caused an uproar among the soldiers......

So as long as you don't mutiny, isn't it a felony?

“...... If this kind of thing really happens, this official may not be able to protect you. "The zombie face is more and more lifeless.

Even if there is a mutiny, there is still a "not necessarily", so it is.

"The last general, Lord Xie Fang, taught. ”

It is impossible for Huangshi's subordinates to have any complaints, everyone always has to go back to Changsheng Island, Huangshi is the Emperor of the Earth there, and life and death will be decided.

The other soldiers on the island have no money, they do not suffer from widowhood but unevenness, others work the island these days, and a group of people who accompany the chief on vacation have silver to take, and there is no reason to go all over the world.

Besides, what do you do with the silver on the island, can you buy food or wine and meat, it can't be used to make money, right?

Huangshi doesn't plan to divide the grain, so many soldiers can't eat it, since they don't have family members, they still have to eat in the canteen. The surplus grain is sold, the grain here in Shanhaiguan is very expensive, and ten stones of grain can be exchanged for five taels of silver.

The large amount of silver taels provided by the imperial court to the nine sides every day has caused inflation in the border area. The officers and men swept away all consumer goods such as salt, cloth, and non-staple food, making the local people miserable.

After Zhang Juzheng formulated a whip law, all agricultural taxes and forced labor south of the Yangtze River were equivalent to more than 1 million taels of silver, while the more than 70,000 troops in Shanhaiguan were 1 tael or 4 yuan for ordinary soldiers, and there were more than 100,000 taels of silver a month, a year...... Huangshi is too lazy to calculate.

Such huge amounts of silver poured into the poor frontier like a tide, and in ancient times, when there were no graded markets and chain stores, in the late Ming Dynasty, when there were no chemical fertilizers and affected by the climate of the Xiaoice River, the people of Shanhaiguan must not have been able to afford to eat eggs and salt. Civilians in nearby towns may not be able to afford even food, clothing, or enough to cover a month's worth of income in a year, or even charcoal in winter......

Well, this tragic scene is actually not born, because the Ming court is not stupid:

"Linkcloth, sturdy linen, a horse costs only twelve pieces of silver!"

"Shandong flour, one stone and one silver tael!"

"Nanzhili rice, one or two and a half stones!"

Huang Shi shuttled through the eager shouts of the peddlers, since he had a windfall in his hands, he also planned to buy some clothes, wine and meat for his subordinates, and called the guide to buy them today.

"The silver price of rice here is already twice as high as that of Jingshi," the guide was the one he sent last time, and he only listened to his introduction: "This is still because of the strict order of the governor of Liaodong, Yamen, all merchants are not allowed to hoard and raise prices, and they must send goods in full from afar." ”

The Liaodong governor of the Ming Dynasty, of course, is not stupid.

"But it's still thanks to the Jin merchants, right?" Dozens of Jin merchants transferred supplies from Zhangjiakou and formed a huge caravan to transport all kinds of goods for the Jiubian military town.

Lu Yin and Yan Yin brought huge profits to the merchants, but after the rise of the state, the imperial court immediately realized the importance of trade to the Later Jin regime, and issued a trade ban on the northeast, preferring to sacrifice the interests of the merchants to the interests of the state - a very wise move. Although, some Jin merchant brands have gone bankrupt.

"General Huang, they have doubled the price of food. The guide said indignantly.

"The mules and horses have to eat grass on the road, and the people have to eat, and these peddlers have to pull out a layer of skin. "Not to mention the filial piety to the government, the cost of maintaining the shop pù and the manpower hired in the various military towns.

"Our soldiers' money is earned by bloodshed, aren't they making black money?" The guide became excited, this General Huang is not a fool, why did he turn his elbow out?

As a high-ranking military officer, Huang Shi also enjoyed privileges, and he did not entangle with the vendors, but was led directly by the guide to a large shop, and the shopkeeper immediately ran out to greet him.

Huang Shi asked about the type and price of goods, there were all kinds of general military supplies, and even sheepskin gloves were sold, although they no longer went down to the northeast, but the Jin merchants still had to go to the customs to trade with the Mongols, exchanging salt and cloth for meat and fur.

The price was very cheap, and the generals could get something similar to a "discount coupon" according to their positions, and Huangshi also got one from Fang Zhenru, with which he could buy discounted military supplies, and the merchants had to sell them according to the amount set by the governor's yamen.

"This Huang guerrilla, please take a seat. After the shopkeeper saw the discount order, he immediately called the man to come out and serve tea.

Huangshi ordered a batch of supplies, which was exactly the same as the amount on the guerrilla discount list. The shopkeeper hinted several times with a bitter face, hoping to use the kickback to buy Huang Shi Xiao and let him go, but he was humiliated in failure.

Since it is irretrievable, the shopkeeper can only smile professionally, and the guy comes over with an account book and asks the shopkeeper to record it in detail.

"The goods that General Huang took away from the store are as follows......" The shopkeeper shook his head and read again: "Please draw a charge from the general." ”

During this time, Huang Shi observed the shopkeeper for a long time, his eyes were very clear, and there was no problem in his speech, and the receipts to be drawn can prove that they have completed the task assigned by the imperial court. Huang Shi recalled the font size at the door, wanting to confirm whether it was one of the eight masters of the Jin Dynasty...... Failed, Huang Shi forgot what the name of the eight people was, or he didn't know it at all.

"How many soldiers does the general lead?"

After the painting, the question asked by the shopkeeper was like a thunderclap in Huangshi's ears.

Isn't this a military secret? In the 21st century.

"There are two thousand commanders and fifty soldiers. ”

The guide said, is he a fool?

"Where is the general's station?"

Another thunderclap.

This is also a military secret, right? In modern society.

The "......" idiot guide is leaking secrets again.

"Shut up!" Huang Shi jumped up suddenly, startling the shopkeeper.

Huang Shi stared at the shopkeeper's eyes, and his stern voice revealed a hint of murderous intent: "Why do you ask this? Who is this guy instructed by?"

The ledger in the shopkeeper's hand fell to the ground, and he looked at Huangshi dumbfounded, his face full of innocence and panic.

"General Huang ...... angrily" The idiot guide opened his mouth again, and he didn't seem to be aware of the problem at all.

The roar of rage choked the second half of the guide's words in his throat.

"Are you a stupid pig, why are you suing him about this?"

Merchants will transport goods to the barracks, which is also a kind of conscription sent to merchants, asking the number of soldiers to prepare military goods, nothing more than wine, clothing, etc., which is also another tax sent to merchants in disguise.

The big idiot Huang Shi was bored with himself, and left the business in a gloomy manner, feeling that the shopkeeper, the buddy, and the guide looked at him as if he were looking at a retarded person.

In the afternoon, the merchant's men brought the goods to the barracks, but Huang Shi refused to let them in, but ordered his soldiers to come out and carry them themselves, which caused another look of surprise...... It's not just from the people hired by the firm.

Huang Shi felt that it was necessary for him to establish a munitions system similar to that of modern times, but quartermaster officers were a thorny problem, and the system needed time to be tested and perfected. During this period, the quartermaster must be a shrewd man, but in this case, Huang Shi is worried that there will be a situation that will damage the public and private interests. There is a saying that the world does not suffer from a thousand miles and suffers from a horse, but now there is not even a donkey--in short, Huang Shi feels that he has no suitable person in his pocket.

One hundred taels of silver came to Huang Shi and said: "The soldiers have been coming to Shanhaiguan for more than 20 days, are you thinking about women?"

"Prostitutes?"

"Yes. ”

"How much does it cost?" "One hundred taels seems to be a careful person, and he thinks about the question very thoughtfully.

"It costs two pieces of silver at a time, and six dollars a night. ”

"It's so expensive? Fifty people will cost six taels or four dollars, no! You go to the house and talk to see if you can approve it." "This one hundred taels is still very careful.

"What do you mean by 'batch'?"

Huang Shi explained.

"I'm afraid not, just after the salary, those prostitutes are only willing to do 'retail'...... Yes, it's the word that the adult just used, and my subordinates think it's very appropriate. ”

"Then wait and talk to them again, and let the soldiers endure for a few days. "One hundred taels is very careful and trustworthy.

"The subordinates obeyed the order, and the subordinates thought that as long as it took another five or six days, the subordinates thought that they could press fifty people to five taels by then, and let the girls come to the barracks to press within fifteen taels......"

"Well, that's hard work for you. "One hundred taels is really careful...... It's a bit of a strange feeling.

"Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will fight on the basis of reason. One hundred taels patted his chest and assured Huangshi.

Huang Shi sounded a little familiar with this, and this impassioned demeanor seemed to ...... Seems to have seen it before.

Yang Zhiyuan worked very hard, he chose a family a few days later, and talked for a whole night, and when he came to report to Huangshi in the morning, he still looked very haggard, and he didn't seem to sleep well last night.

Will Yang Zhiyuan, who is sleep-deprived, lose the upper hand in the bargain? Huang Shi was worried that he would not finish his errand, or that he would come back with a six-seven-tael negotiation. However, Huang Shi also plans to admit it, as long as it is not too much, after all, he owes Yang Zhiyuan a lot.

"Tell your lordship. The sluggish one hundred taels arched his hand weakly, he looked really tired, he should have talked to more than one person.

"Fifty soldiers, four taels and eight cents, and if you send the girls to the barracks, it will cost thirteen taels. ”
