Xu Guangqi's eyes lit up and asked, "What can I do?" ”

"Lord Xu, do you know Qi Shaobao's method of training?" Qin Rongshuai said.

"You mean recruitment?" Xu Guangqi frowned.

Qin Rongshuai nodded, "Yes, it is the recruitment of soldiers, the miners are young and strong, only a few thousand, and you can become a strong army after half a year of practice." ”

"Where do you go to find the miners?" Xu Guangqi frowned, "Even if you find it, you need money to recruit soldiers, a lot of money, and now that the treasury is empty, there is no money and food available." ”

Qin Rongshuai was taken aback, "How come?" In April, the emperor also took out 2 million taels of silver from the treasury and distributed them to the soldiers in the border towns as a reward. ”

"Do you know how much money was spent on Liao's salary?" Xu Guangqi sighed, "Li Ruhua, the head of the household, went to the table the day before yesterday, and he said about the number of salaries. From the 25th day of the leap month of the 46th year of Wanli to the 26th day of December of the first year of Taichang, the total amount of silver issued was 2,188,366 taels. ”

"In less than three years, 20 million taels, how much silver can the treasury and internal funds fill this hole, and now the court has begun to discuss the need to levy additional salaries."

Qin Rongshuai was silent for a while, then slowly stood up, "I heard that there is an iron mine near Datong Lingqiu, and there are tens of thousands of miners there, so you can recruit some people. ”

"If you want money and food, I'll find a way."

Xu Guangqi paused for a moment, he saw Qin Rongshuai's resolute expression, and sighed, "That's it, this time to train the new army, the emperor allocated a total of 500,000 taels of silver, I squeezed out 200,000 taels to you, give you a month, if you can bring the soldiers back to Tongzhou for training, if not, return the rest of the silver to me." ”

Qin Rongshuai didn't expect that he could cheat out 200,000 taels of silver from Xu Guangqi here, and he was immediately moved, and stood up straight and slammed his body to the ground, "Thank you Lord Xu for nothing!" ”

After receiving the silver, Qin Rongshuai immediately packed his bags and hurried all the way to Shanxi.

This time was different from the last time, he not only brought the official document of the military department, but also brought a Shang Fang sword.

Well, the real Shang Fang sword given by Zhu Changluo himself is not Li Yuanfang's.

Before he arrived in Shanxi, it suddenly began to snow in the sky, Qin Rongshuai continued to ride his horse unexpectedly, but unexpectedly, the snow became heavier and heavier, and there was almost nothing to see a few meters away.

Qin Rongshuai was in a hurry alone, he put away his horses, found a broken temple to spend the night, and wanted to wait for the snow to stop before leaving.

As a result, it snowed heavily for two days and two nights, and the snow was more than three feet thick, and the sky and earth were boundless.

Qin Rongshuai suddenly felt bad in his heart, such a big snow would become a disaster. At this time, it is at the beginning of the Xiaoice period, and I am afraid that there will be more natural disasters after that.

When the snow stopped, the whole land was covered in snow, and it was impossible to distinguish the road.

Qin Rongshuai put on thermal underwear, put on a down jacket outside, stepped on skis, took out a compass to identify the direction, and then skied all the way.

All the villages encountered along the way were buried by heavy snow, and the roofs of countless houses collapsed, killing and injuring them, plus thousands of people who froze to death in the wind and snow.

Qin Rongshuai gritted his teeth all the way to a county seat, broke into the county government directly, took out Shang Fang's sword and waist card and put it in front of the county order, "I am Qincha, I am ordered to provide disaster relief, and I will immediately order someone to open a warehouse and release grain." ”

The county order was taken aback, and then said with a bitter face: "My lord, there is really no food to put in it." ”

"I have already brought a few truckloads of grain, immediately set up a porridge shed, sent people to put up notices, two meals of porridge a day, and went to the homes of large families in the city to ask them to donate food and things to protect from the cold." Qin Rongshuai said sharply, "Those who dare to hoard Juqi, raise food prices, take the opportunity to cause chaos, and bend the law for bribes, behead!" ”

The county commander went out to take a look with trepidation, and sure enough, he found that there were more than 100 bags of grain piled up at the door of the yamen, and he did not dare to slack off, so he immediately summoned the servants and the officials of the yamen and acted according to the instructions.

These grains were left by Qin Rongshuai when he robbed Fan Yongdou's convoy on the grassland before, and at that time he made up his mind to consume them, so he naturally kept some more as reserves.

When Hetuara was robbing the vault, he was reluctant to free up the food and put the silver when the space in his pocket was insufficient, after all, he didn't know when the food would save his life.

After returning to Jingshi from Liaodong, the grain was still stored in the carry-on space, and this time it finally came in handy.

However, he knew that this grain was just a drop in the bucket, not to mention the victims in Shanxi, even the people in this county town would not be able to survive for long.

Qin Rongshuai inquired about the big families here with a calm face, and suddenly heard a familiar name, and immediately smiled.

Wang Dengku, one of the eight imperial merchants in the early Qing Dynasty.

"Good!" Qin Rongshuai nodded with a smile, "Then I'll go and visit this Wang Dashan man!" ”

When Wang Dengku heard that a Qin messenger surnamed Qin came to visit, he was so frightened that he changed a few pairs of pants, but he knew that Qin Rongshuai's name was on the grassland, and he cut off Fan Yongdou's head in front of the two armies.

After four months, there was no movement, and I thought it would disappear, but I didn't expect to come to the door today.

Where did Wang Dengku dare to see Qin Rongshuai, so he had to call himself sick.

Qin Rongshuai was not annoyed, and left with a smile.

In the middle of the night, dozens of black shadows approached the high courtyard wall of the Wang family's compound, and crossed in as lightly as a raccoon cat.

A tall black shadow at the head smiled lightly and drew his knife, "Brothers, smash the kiln!" ”

"Boom!"

There was a sound of a blade unsheathed.

Hearing the movement, the thugs rushed out one after another, shouting, "There are thieves!" ”。

Then, the Wang family's compound suddenly burst into screams, and the thug who had been raised for many years fell in a pool of blood.

Wang Dengku was half frightened when he was dragged out of the room, and then the torch was faintly bright, and a tall and handsome young man walked over, "Wang Dengku, you really toast and don't eat and drink!" ”

Wang Dengku was so frightened that he quickly closed his eyes, and said hurriedly: "A good man spares his life, I know the rules, seeing my face is death, I haven't seen anything!" Take whatever you want, the money is in the silver cellar at the back, and the entrance is in the well in the middle of the ancestral hall. ”

“……”

You've disrupted my rhythm ™ with such cooperation.

Qin Rongshuai thought for a while, and suddenly slapped him, "Who told you not to wear a hat." ”

This slap stunned Wang Dengku, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

Li Yuanfang took out a knife and put it on Wang Dengku's neck, and said viciously: "Wang Dengku, our family said that we won't rob the silver this time, where is your family's grain, say it quickly." ”

As soon as he heard that he would not rob the silver, Wang Dengku was ecstatic, and hurriedly promised to contribute all the food at home, and also promised to send a cart to transport the grain.

Therefore, with the active cooperation of Wang Dengku, more than 100 carts were mobilized and began to transport grain to the county seat.

After watching the mighty convoy go away, Wang Dengku breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed on the ground, and couldn't get up for a long time.

Let Li Yuanfang escort the grain and walk slowly behind, while Qin Rongshuai hurried back to the county seat first.

As a result, as soon as I entered the county, I was immediately dumbfounded, and at a glance, the victims who came to receive the porridge were densely packed, and I couldn't count them at all.

Qin Rongshuai squeezed through the crowd and grabbed the county order who was busy, "Why are there so many people?" ”

"Alas, my Lord Qincha, we are the first to give porridge, and after hearing the news, I said that the victims of this county, even the victims of neighboring counties have come." The county magistrate was busy complaining. "There's not enough food at all."

Qin Rongshuai waved his hand, "It doesn't matter! I'll take care of that! ”

Then he jumped onto the piled grain bag, took a deep breath, and shouted: "Recruited, those who are willing to come to be soldiers have a bucket of rice, ten taels of silver!" ”

The whole scene was silent, and all the victims looked at Qin Rongshuai together.

"Did you come to be a soldier? 20 taels a year! Pure silver distribution! ”

"Sign up now, send a settlement fee of 10 taels, a bucket of rice!"

There was silence.
