In the blink of an eye, the militia has been established for a month, time flies really fast, today is the day when the militia pays for the first time, Li Yang attaches great importance to this matter, as early as two days ago, he made people prepare in advance, these two days the people in the manor can be said to be all dealing with money, a dark yellow copper coins are piled up on the ground like a hill, the family and the maids will scatter the copper coins with red rope together, each hundred copper coins for a string of wear put into the wooden box on the side, The wooden box filled with copper coins required four strong people to carry it with force at the same time

On this day, the militiamen came to the school field early to wait for the salary, and the day of the salary can be said to be the time that all workers look forward to the most, because this day is the greatest affirmation of your hard work for a month, and only when the money is put in your own pocket is the safest

The wooden boxes filled with copper coins were carried to the school yard one by one, and there were hundreds of them piled together, and the militiamen muttered one after another after seeing the wooden boxes

Li Zuo and Li You turned to the militiamen with steel guns in their hands and shouted: The commander has arrived

And the militiamen shouted "whew", and then "poof", and their steps stood as tall as a pine

Li Yang glanced at the school field: All the battalions have seen if all the soldiers under them have arrived

The commanders began to count the number of people to see if there were any absences, and Gao Yuan walked over leisurely with his hands in his sleeves: This Geng Qing and Gan Hui are the eyeliners sent by the national capital to the militia group, Guan Meng and Qi San are the people who were inserted by the general Longchuan who garrisoned the northern part of Taizhou, and Sun An and Sun Wu are the eyeliners sent to the militia by the Taizhou prefect

Yuan Kui: Be careful of these people who sail the 10,000-year-old ship, so let's be on guard

Li Yang: Let's see what tricks we can make a few of them into our people

Yuankui: Then what are your plans?

Li Yang: Don't you say the old saying, people die for money, birds die for food, compared with the masters behind them, what can we give them but can't give

Gao Yuan thought about it carefully: If we want to say that what we can't give them is silver, but can these people be bought by us so easily

Li Yang: You can't rush this matter and take it slowly

The commanders of the battalions came to report that the soldiers of the station had arrived, and with the sound of drums, the militiamen on the school ground struck their shields with the backs of their swords and the earth with the hilts of their guns.

I saw that as soon as he raised his hand, the drum stopped, and the school field was instantly quiet: time flies really fast, in a blink of an eye, the militia has been established for a month, and in the hard training, the brothers have shed blood and sweat, but no one has given up, this is the spirit of our Taizhou children who are not afraid of hardships and move forward bravely, there were many things I wanted to take this opportunity to tell the brothers, but after thinking about it, I still have nothing to do with the benefits

When the militiamen heard this, they laughed out loud "haha"

Gao Yuan shouted: The first battalion of the militia regiment stepped forward to receive the salary, and the rest of the battalion sat in place and waited for the salary

"Poof", the soldiers of each battalion sat down on the ground neatly, Li Zuo took the soldiers of the first battalion to the front of the battle with neat steps to prepare for the salary, Li Yang came to the first vanguard and took out 6 strings of copper coins from the box: name

"Ma Dazhi"

After the soldier reported his name, Li Yang stuffed the copper coins into his hand, Ma Dazhi looked at the copper coins in his hand and looked up one by one, and then took out 6 strings of copper coins from the wooden box and walked to the next militiaman: name

"Kong Ergou"

Or the soldier after reporting the name of the money into his hand, Kong Ergou and Ma Dazhi held the copper coins in their hands happily checked one by one, Li Song was responsible for recording the name on the roster and how much money was opened, and it took more than half an hour to give the first battalion under the command of Li Zuo to finish the salary, and the progress of making such progress to the 12 battalions was so bad that the black people couldn't stand it, so the plateau let people move 5 tables and put them side by side on the school field, and the soldiers of each battalion stood in 5 rows against the tables and went to the front one by one to receive the salary, Gao Yuankui-Li Song-Guanshan-Hengyan sat behind the table and paid them specially

Many people don't understand that you let the commanders of each battalion take the money back, and you can't share it yourself, why do you have to make such trouble, in fact, this is the cleverness of Li Yang's methods, using money to demonstrate sovereignty, and the place where the supervising army is sent by any country to be placed in command, all of them are nonsense, this militia is I using money to support me, and I believe that everyone is not stupid, isn't it like this when you go to work, whoever gives you money, you listen to whom, whoever is your supervisor, you listen to whomever you want

As soon as the money is in hand, this person can't stay, some are in a hurry to go home and hand over the money to their daughter-in-law, some are in a hurry to find a place to have a good drink, seeing that the money is all gone, Li Zuo waved his arm: Everyone is unhappy today

The soldiers shouted in unison "Rejoice-rejoice"

Li Zuo: Then you don't want to thank the Great Commander

"Thank you Grand Commander - Thank you Grand Commander"

Li Yang nodded, and the school field quieted down: Today is the first time that our militia group has opened a salary, so let's go back early

The streets of Alan County are full of militiamen, the happy figures, the originally quiet streets suddenly become lively, the shops are also booming, the will go to the tavern to get a few catties of wine, buy some meat and sea fish, spend 7-80 lines of money to go back and improve with the family, a few people who spend a lot of money find a restaurant, order a few dishes, come a few catties of good soju to celebrate well, there are 200 lines of money can also block

If you don't drink well, you can go to the street to browse the store, even if you don't buy something, you can follow the excitement, feel that the shoes are broken, you should change to a new pair, go to the shoe store to spend a hundred and eighty lines of money to buy a new pair of shoes, and if you want to spend ten lines of money on the roadside to repair your hair, the roadside delicatessen business is the most prosperous, and the bacon has all been swept away, many stores are blindfolded, how can there be so many more people on the street today, if you are like this every day, even if you want to make money, it is difficult

Sun Yuanwu, the prefect of Taizhou, sent someone to invite Li Yang to the yamen of the state capital to participate in the bidding meeting for military funds in the south, and as soon as he received the notice, he selected more than 10 guards to ride fast horses to Taizhou City

When he arrived in Taizhou City, he looked back and saw that the accompanying guards had not yet followed, forget it, I will go to the city first, and when I get to the state capital, the yamen is in the same way as they will meet, this is not to the suburbs such a careless galloping horse, the pedestrians on the street continue to pass back and forth, even if the horses slow down, they have to be careful, if they suddenly wear out a person to scare the horses, it is not a joke

Seeing that I was about to go to the yamen of the state capital, I had to have somewhere to tie the horses, there were already more than ten carriages parked in front of the yamen of the state capital, needless to say that eighty percent of these carriages belonged to those rich merchants in the city, so he looked around and saw that there was no one in an alley not far from the yamen, so he had to tie the war horse there and it would not get in the way of others

When he tied up his war horse and was about to go to the yamen of the state capital, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared to block his way, and these people were grinning one by one, with their chest hair leaking and their arms rolling up their sleeves, looking like they wanted to fight

From this group of people, a more decently dressed person, looking at his face, can be about 40 years old, and people are more polite, first to me fist bow: This shopkeeper, you are going to the government to participate in the military bidding

Li Yang glanced at him: Well-what's wrong

The man: This shopkeeper is trying to make money together, and when you bid, raise the price a little bit, as long as you use a pen, you can easily earn 500 taels of silver

Li Yang couldn't help but sneer, "Ha", you only gave 500 taels for such a big business, it's too stingy."

As soon as the man saw Li Yang's expression of speech and his disdainful attitude towards 500 taels, he knew that this was a big fish, and he was by no means an idle person: This shopkeeper is easy to discuss everything, as long as you raise the price of grain to 900 taels a load, my shopkeeper is willing to give 2,000 taels of silver to make a friend

Li Yang: I appreciate the kindness of your shopkeeper, but I think this business is still up to its own ability

The man: Dare to ask which business this shopkeeper runs

Li Yang: Then I dare to ask which business your shopkeeper operates

The man looked proud: Do you know the Deyi firm, my shopkeeper is the first richest businessman in the city of Deyi, and the next is Dong Qing, the big housekeeper of the Deyi firm

Li Yang: I don't think so

Dong Qing: I haven't been taught which firm it is

Li Yang: Have you heard of the name Alain?

Dong Qing: Forgive Dong for being lonely and unheard, if you think that the silver is less, then you might as well tell me how much silver you want

Li Yang: I want 200,000 yuan for your shopkeeper, can he give it?

Dong Qing: Don't be ignorant, I advise you to leave yourself a way back and see each other in the future, the grain in this Taizhou city has long been collected by my shopkeeper, just because you can have so much money to buy food, in the end, you may not even be able to earn these 2,000 taels

Li Yang suddenly felt that something was wrong, Dong Qing was deliberately delaying time with me, once he missed the bidding, he really had no power to return to the sky, thinking of this, he pushed away the person who was blocking the way with his hand

Dong Qing glanced at the scoundrels on the side, and the dozen or so splashes immediately surrounded Li Yang, and one of them stepped forward and pushed me with his hand: Give you face, don't you go and inquire Who in Taizhou City doesn't know who I am Wu Laosan

Li Yang sneered: I don't know who you are

Wu Laosan: "Hey, I see that you are toasting, not eating, punishing me for drinking, forcing me to be rude with you."

As he spoke, he swung his fist at my head, I walked to the side and dodged Wu Laosan's fist from the side of my face, I waved my left hand and punched Wu Laosan in the stomach with all my strength, and he was interrupted with a punch, only to see him collapse to the ground with his hands on his stomach: I think you really don't know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has and dares to do something with me

Wu Laosan lay on the ground and wailed in pain: What are you all doing in a daze, let's kill me together

A splash suddenly jumped up from behind, hugged me tightly with both hands, I knocked my head back hard, just knocked on his face, moved his head with my left hand, bent his waist and made a full score of back and shoulder, another splash skin waved his fist at me, rushed over, and was kicked to the ground by me, Li Yang is a military general who has led the soldiers, although his kung fu is not high, but three or five splashes are not close to him

Don't you say the old saying, a good tiger can't stand up to the wolves, Li Yang is the same, these dozen splashes swarmed together, he immediately fell into the downwind, some hugged his waist from behind, some grabbed two arms, and some specially hugged two legs, these dozen splashes worked together to press him to the ground, and he scolded while beating

Li Yang lay on the ground and held his head with both hands to condense his body into a ball for defense, and when the accompanying guards arrived at the mansion, they saw that there was a group of people in the alley besieging a person lying on the ground, and one of the guards looked at the excitement and joked with Tie Gui: Look at the person lying on the ground, is he dressed like the young master

Tie Guiqu curled his eyes and looked carefully at the crowd, and he was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat: The one who was lying on the ground and being beaten was Engong, don't be stunned, hurry up

The guards hurriedly dismounted and rushed up, and with three strokes and five divisions of two, they all overturned the splashers, and Tie Gui hurriedly ran to Li Yang's side and helped him up from the ground: Engong, are you injured?

Li Yang patted the dirt on his body and tidied up his clothes: It's okay, I'm fine, why did you come so slowly

Tie Gui: Engong, we were delayed when we entered the city

Li Yang: Teach this group of splashes a good lesson and hand them over to the government

Splashy was beaten by the guards and rolled on the ground, and his mouth was crying in pain: "Please spare us, don't dare to dare in the future" Seeing the appearance of Splashy Pleading, Li Yang was angry, and when he came up, he kicked them several times: MD, when you meet an honest person, you will bully you to death, and when you meet a horizontal person, you will pretend to be miserable and beg for mercy, and you must let you have a long memory today

Dong Qing fell to the ground and shouted: Stop fighting-don't fight

Li Yang: Tie Gui is the one he instructed these splashes to beat me

Tie Gui dragged Dong Qing up from the ground, "MD is against you, you dare to attack my father-in-law", waved his hand, and his face was a meal of big-eared melon seeds

Dong Qing kept screaming "ah-ah" and begged for mercy: I beg you to stop fighting, spare me this time, and I will never dare to do it again

Li Yang: Tie Gui is almost over, Dong Qing went back to tell your shopkeeper what he could do, and Lao Tzu was able to accompany him to do fifteen in the first year of junior high school

Tie Gui made Dong Qing's ass is kick: Don't get out of here, what should Engong do these people

Li Yang: Give them to the government

When I arrived at the front of the yamen, although the official on duty knew me, he was not as polite as before, and the tone of his words was a little stiffer, this is really a hot and cold world: Lord Sun has important things to do today, and it is inconvenient to see guests, so you can go back first

Li Yang: It was Master Sun who asked me to come and ask you to help me report it

The official looked me up and down: Then you can wait here for a while

After a while, the official walked out of the palace and gestured in with his hand: Lord Sun, please

Li Yang arched his hands towards the servant: It's tired

The rich businessmen who came to participate in the bidding have already been waiting in the hall of the government, as soon as I entered the lobby, the rich businessmen squinted their eyes together, and the seats close to the copywriter were occupied by the rich businessmen who came first, and only one was left to sit here by the seat at the door, who called us the last to come, the head of the household saw that the people who participated in the bidding were all there, so he went to the back hall and invited Lord Sun over

Sun Yuanwu came to the lobby to see that everyone had arrived: There are some official affairs in this mansion that make you wait here for a long time - forgive me

The wealthy businessmen stood up and clasped their fists in salute: Our lordship is serious, and we have just arrived

Sun Yuanwu nodded: Everyone sit down, this year's military needs 350,000 quintals of military rations - 100,000 quintals of forage - 8,000 quintals of refined salt

The servants placed a pen and a piece of ink on the table next to each person, and the rich merchants did not immediately write their own quotations when they picked up the brushes on the table, but watched each other to see how much each other was going to bid, and the merchants who bid covered the paper with their hands so that others would not see their offers

After the quotation was written, it was taken away by the official and adhered to the prefect, Sun Yuanwu took the paper and read it carefully, for the sake of fairness, he put all these quotations on the table, and the official first read the quotations of several businesses, and the military rations were about 800 lines of money - 100 lines of forage - 100 lines - refined salt 10 taels of silver

When he read the name of Deyi Firm, Li Yang was in the rich businessmen, and wanted to see who instructed Dong Qing to use despicable means to stop the merchants from bidding outside the government, a fat man wearing a crown hat, a purple gown and a big coat was staring at the official with all his attention, looking at his expression, he was the shopkeeper of the Deyi Firm, and the person was very kind to look at it with a noble face, and he was so kind that he could do such a thing

"Deyi Firm's military rations are 700 taels of money - grain and grass are 50 pieces of money - 8 taels of refined salt and a load of silver"

Before Lord Sun could speak, the shopkeeper of Deyi Firm stood up, and he arched his hands to thank the wealthy businessmen present: The shopkeeper has accepted - promised, Bao is by no means greedy for money, if you are interested in this business, you can join the family, and everyone can make money together

Sun Yuanwu smiled slightly, "Haha, "Bag shopkeeper, don't worry, I still haven't read a copy here."

"Shopkeeper Li's quotation of military rations is 500 quintals of money - 100,000 quintals of grain and grass to support military funds - 4 taels of refined salt and a load of silver, 350,000 quintals of military rations - 100,000 quintals of grain and grass - 8,000 quintals of refined salt, with a total price of 200,000 taels of silver."

As soon as Li Yang's quotation came out, the rich businessmen present all gasped, this guy's quotation was too low, and now it costs at least 600 yuan to collect a load of grain, and the refined salt is even more ridiculously low, 4 taels of silver, a load of refined salt on the market can be sold for 12 taels of silver

Shopkeeper Bao: I don't know Shopkeeper Li, a big family in Taizhou City, and these people here today are also all winners with thousands of dollars, but only you Bao Mou has never seen it, and I have never heard of Taizhou and Shopkeeper Li

Another wealthy businessman pointed at Li Yang: Young man, I advise you not to fall into the eye of money, and you can't afford to afford to delay the border defense when the time comes

"It takes a lot of money to prepare these military funds, can you come up with so much money?"

Li Yang: If you want to say that the money is indeed not as strong as your shopkeepers, but to say that the land in your hands is not as much as me, by the way, I still have thousands of acres of salt fields by the sea, so you don't need to worry about me, if the price can be lower than mine, I am willing to offer this business with both hands

The rich businessmen have not been bidding for a long time, Sun Yuanwu saw that the general trend has been decided, and announced to the rich businessmen that this year's southern military funds will be handed over to the Li shopkeeper to do, the rich businessmen all sighed after hearing this, and they were unwilling to leave, after the rich businessmen and the officials left the lobby, Sun Yuanwu coughed lightly and made a look at me, shook his head to the back hall and invited me to the back hall to talk
