Chapter 605
Xiao Muqing, Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue, the four commanders, all went to the vicinity of the Zhanghe River to recruit
Sailor, when he left, Xiao Muqing was the first to ask Wang Kai for money, but he didn't have a guest
Angry, the lion opened his mouth and directly asked for a million taels of silver. A sergeant for a month's army
The salary is only 800 yuan, and he wants 1 million taels at once, even if the ordnance and military funds are deducted
The cost can be almost as many as 500,000 or 600,000 people. Wang Kai didn't know that Xiao Muqing wanted this
What do you do with so much silver, but Tang Yin has already said something first. Let him fully cooperate, Wang Kai is also inconvenient
Ask more. took out one million taels of silver from the silver treasury and gave it to Xiao Muqing.
Xiao Muqing left satisfied, and waited for Liang Qi, Ziying, and Gu Yue to come and pick up the silver
At that time, there was not much silver in the treasury, and there was not much silver in the last three of them
To one million taels, it can be said that Xiao Muqing's share is equivalent to the sum of the other three.
The Feng Army recruited troops on the east bank of the Zhanghe River with great fanfare, in fact, as Tang Yin said, there must be brave men under the heavy reward, and many Ning people heard that the Feng Army treated everyone equally, whether it was a Feng person or
The Ning people were paid the same amount of military salaries, and they were very generous, and people rushed to join the army.
Xiao Muqing has the most silver in his hand, and when he recruits soldiers, he gives the most military salary, naturally
It also attracted the most people to join the army. The recruitment office of the Plains Army was full of people coming and going, and the flow of people was constant
On the other hand, in the recruitment offices of the other three armies, the recruits are sparse and the doors are crowded.
At the same time as the Wind Army was expanding its army. Tang Yin is very leisurely in Qingyuan City, and the most important job every day is to drink and eat. He knew very well that his side wanted to stabilize the situation in Hedong
, first of all, we must win over those dignitaries and dignitaries in the county, these people are basically Ning people, in
Hedong is also highly respected, and only by winning their support can the country of wind be there
Hedong has long peace and stability, and will always maintain peace. In the county capital, he would invite Qingqing Yuan to the city every day
The rich and noble came to the feast, whether he wanted to entertain or not, this was what he had to do. Now that Hedong has fallen into the hands of the Wind Country, the original wealth of the Ning Kingdom has also been lost all of a sudden
Fundamentally, they are afraid of being persecuted by the Wind Country, and live in fear and tension every day
In the atmosphere, try not to go out if you can, and their family business is in Hedong, and they want to go
Can't go, so he urgently needs to find a new object to rely on, and at this time, Tang Yin asked him
threw an olive branch, and the two sides naturally hit it off. Whoever received Tang Yin's invitation to the rich,
Basically, they all came happily and took the opportunity of the meal to get closer to Tang Yin.
The first wave of people invited by Tang Yin were the heads of the eight most influential families in Qingyuan and even the entire Hedong region, namely Deng Ping, Cao Hai, Caiyu, Zeng An, Xiao Qing, Tian Ju,
Dong Jian and Yuan Chunan. These eight families are the generations of wealth in Hedong. The family is big and the business is big, and it is basically monopolized
The agriculture, industry and commerce of Hedong. Tang Yin wanted a stable and peaceful Hedong region, and it was very important to win the support of these eight wealthy families, and these eight wealthy families wanted to continue to survive in Hedong. can only rely on Tang Yin.
When the eight heads of the family came to the county capital, each of them brought a good greeting gift, and each of them was a treasure that had been treasured for a long time. The value is not bad. Enter the main hall of the county capital. With Don
After the meeting. The eight people hurriedly knelt on the ground and gave a big salute. Samyi bowed to Tang Yin.
Tang Xuan had already learned about the life history of the eight people in advance, and he was very polite to them, he sat on the mat, bowed slightly, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Eight gentlemen, please get up!"
"King Xie!"
Their seats were already ready. After the eight people got up, the servants below walked briskly
and carry them to their respective seats. Seeing that everyone was seated, Tang Yinfang said slowly: "This time, I invited you here, mainly to reassure everyone. ”
The spirits of the eight Si Yan were all lifted, and Bian brushed his eyes on Tang Yin.
Tang Yin continued with a smile: "Although now Hedong has returned to the wind. But you can rest assured, I, the Wind Country, will not deliberately make things difficult for you because you are Ningren, on the contrary
, as long as you are willing to return to the wind with sincerity. I will not commit any of your family business. And
It will also open the door to you widely. ”
Hearing this, the eight of them all looked happy. each other, nodding their heads,
Then Qi Bian arched his hand and said, "Thank you, little man!" Before seeing Tang Yin. They also thought that Tang Yin was a cruel and vicious monarch, but now that they saw him, they felt the same as themselves
The elephant is completely different. Tang Yin is not only young and handsome. He is also very peaceful, smiling
's appearance and approachable attitude have nothing to do with tyrants.
Tang Yin smiled at everyone. He said, "You don't need to be polite. I see you as friends. Since we are friends, we should help each other. I protect your inheritance. To create convenient conditions for you, I wonder how you can help me?"
Everyone was stunned. As a monarch, Tang Yin was actually called a friend to them. This is in
It was unbelievable to everyone. But they're not stupid. Of course, I understand the second half of the sentence
is the key point that Tang Yin wants to say. The eight looked at each other. In the end, Deng Ping arched his hand and said, "No."
What does the king want me to do?"
Tang Yin said with a smile: "You should all know. Recently. War
Repeatedly. Our troops suffered heavy casualties. It is necessary to recruit troops on the spot in the area east of the river to fill the strength and establishment, but it costs money to recruit troops, and the current treasury in the county is empty. I hope you all can
Make a contribution to the country. ”
At this time, they finally understood, it turned out that Tang Yin came to them to ask them to donate money. The more wealthy a person is, it doesn't mean that he will be more generous, and let these riches be given to the Ningguo court
It's a difficult thing to donate money, let alone donate money to the Wind Country. After listening to this, people face each other
Look. No one has a word.
Looked at. Tang Yin raised his eyebrows and quietly picked up the wine jug. Poured a glass of wine. correct
Then he took a slow sip. He smiled and asked, "What? when the country is in need." all
Isn't it even a bit of strength that you can't exert this bit of strength?"
Deng Ping swallowed and foamed. He stubbornly asked, "I don't know how much silver the king asked me to donate." He asked directly. Tang Yin also replied simply. said: "One hundred thousand taels." ”
Eight people, one hundred thousand taels. Calculate separately. Each person is only more than 10,000 taels, and for the eight of them, more than 10,000 taels of silver is not much. The faces of the eight people recovered a little, but before they could speak, Tang Yin added with a smile: "One hundred thousand taels per person." ”
Eight people almost vomited blood on the spot. 100,000 taels per person. That's not a small amount. You must know that the monthly payment of a high-ranking official at the prime minister's level is only 300 taels, and it is only a little more than 3,000 taels a year.
And Tang Yin asked for 100,000 taels for one mouth. This would be difficult to accept for any of the eight
, really to come up with so much money. It also hurt the muscles and bones.
"King, this is a difficult look on Deng Ping's face. Tremblingly, he said, "This is true
It's too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a crisp sound next to him, Cao Hai slapped the table angrily, stood up, and said loudly: "Wang, we are all ordinary businessmen. At best, it earns every year
Ten thousand taels of silver, you are now asking us for one hundred thousand taels at once. It's too hard for a strong man......"
Cao Hai is the most irascible of the eight. He is also more upright. Quite righteous. He likes to make friends, although his wealth is the least among the eight. But the network is the widest. Tang Yin looked at Cao Hai with an angry face, sneered, and said slowly, "Cao."
Don't be angry, brother, I still know something about all of you, let each of you take it
It may be difficult to come up with 1.8 million taels, but 100,000 taels can only be regarded as money for you. If, at a time of national crisis, you refuse to give even such a small amount of money, how can I trust your loyalty to my gale?"
Cao Hai met Tang Yin's gaze without fear, looked at him directly for a long time, and suddenly looked up and laughed.
Tang Yin asked inexplicably, "What is Brother Cao laughing at?"
Cao Hai said: "I'm laughing at the king!"
"Laugh at me?"
"We and other merchants should really ask the king for advice. Learn the king's way of doing business. Cao Hai talked eloquently. The other seven were scared into a cold sweat. Deng Ping, who sat next to him
Lian pulled his Yiyu and hinted that he should not say any more, but Cao Hai ignored him and continued
"The king asked us to pay for the Ning people, recruit the Ning people to fill the army, and then use the Ning people to fight Hexi."
The Ning people, for a long time, are all in the internal friction of my Ning Kingdom, and it has nothing to do with the King and the Wind Country
Yes, this kind of business that does not require capital, the king is doing well, shouldn't we be businessmen
Do you want to learn from the king?"
Hearing this, everyone present gasped, not awakened by Cao Hai's words,
Even if he doesn't say it. People also know that this is the case, but they said it in front of Tang Yin
Come out, aren't you looking for awkwardness yourself?
Tang Yin still looked at Cao Hai with a smile, but a thick murderous aura had emanated from him
Come out, the murderous aura is an intangible thing, but it can make everyone present real
It was as if the air around me had frozen all at once, and the temperature had plummeted several degrees. At this time, Wang Kai, who was accompanying the banquet, realized that Tang Yin had moved to kill, and hurriedly stood up.
Walked quickly in front of Tang Yin, bowed down, and said, "Wang, Mr. Cao must have drunk too much."
Yes, what he said was drunk, and I hope that the king will be gracious, and don't blame Mr. Cao. ”
Wang Kai used to be the city lord of Qingyuan City. has a deep personal relationship with Cao Hai, this time Tang Yin invited the eight of them, Cao Hai didn't want to come, it was Wang Kai who forced him to come. Let him take this opportunity and Don
Yin Duoduo is close, and the Wind Country will not trouble him in the future, but now it backfires, Cao Hai
Not only did he not get closer to Tang Yin, but he also ridiculed him in public, which scared Wang Kai out
Cold sweat on the body.
"Brother Cao hasn't drunk a sip of wine since the feast, how can he drink too much? But after drinking and spitting out the truth, it seems that Brother Cao is afraid of hating me. and hate
Am I windy?" Tang Yin asked with a flat smile.
Wang Kai waved his hand again and again, and was about to speak, but Cao Hai preemptively said: "That's right!
, Hedong is the territory of my Ning Kingdom, and it is your Feng Country that forcibly occupies Hedong, and you are not ashamed to be glorious
What to say about the Reconquest, this is pure fart!"
