Chapter 90 Economic Construction

The meeting was held late, during which the details of military and political affairs were discussed together, and it was not until night fell that a bonfire rose in Dengyun Village, and the meeting came to an end.

Thousands of calls began to come out, and in the cheers of thousands of minions, eleven cottage leaders led by Zou Run stepped out of the tall Juyi Hall one after another.

A lot of big things have happened in the cottage today, with the acquiescence of Zou Run, the relevant news has spread throughout the entire Dengyun Mountain, and everyone knows that Dengyun Mountain will become more and more powerful, so everyone in the mountain is sincerely happy.

A strong atmosphere of celebration shrouded the huge training ground, which had already been neatly arranged, with nearly 100 tables of banquets spread all over it, and the aroma of wine and meat was mixed together and scattered in the wind. Zou Run stepped up to the high platform, took a wine bowl from the minions, raised it high, and said loudly to all the people who looked at him: "Brothers! Have you got all the rewards? ”

"Back to the village master, I'll get it all!"

"It's not a short article!"

Early this morning, Zou Run instructed Chen Xuan to make a book of the rewards of yesterday's battle, and after seeing it at noon, he asked that it must be distributed in place today, so that it was at this moment.

It's time to boost morale!

The response was enthusiastic, and Zou Run laughed in return.

"Haha! Good! It's good to have a reward! Come, brothers have done this bowl together! ”

"It's done! Dry! ”

A slightly sweet low-alcohol rice wine entered his throat, Zou Run drank no trickle, wiped the corners of his mouth happily, and exposed the bottom of the bowl to everyone.

"The owner of the village is arrogant!"

"I am willing to die for the owner of the village!"

"I want to give another bowl to the owner of the village!"

Everyone in the audience was full of passion, everyone held wine bowls and crowded forward, all thinking that they could give Zou Run a bowl of wine, and the leaders on the wooden platform watched all this happily, until this moment they really understood what a height Zou Run's prestige in Dengyun Mountain had reached.

In the face of the wine bowl that was held high above the top, Zou Run did not refuse, showing the domineering spirit of a green forest hero, touching a bowl with the old brother who went up the mountain during the Lizhai period, and pouring wine cloth dishes for the new cutting-edge who had made great achievements, while the wine was hot, Zou Run threw out an explosive good news.

The expansion of the cottage is imminent, and it is about to be promoted! And the right to recommend merit is in the hands of the leaders!

Good guys, half of the people around Zou Run immediately dispersed, and they all ran to the old and new leaders who followed or befriended each other and shouted loudly.

Looking at the appearance of the leaders who were in a hurry and couldn't cope with it, Zou Run laughed.

It was a night when the village was jubilant, except for the people who were responsible for guarding the mountain and the mountain, I don't know how many heroes were drunk.

Until the next day, when Zou Run continued to convene the meeting, Deng Fei and Sun Xin were still drunk and unconscious, who called these two lieutenants in charge of a battalion, and they had the right to recommend promotions in their hands? The minions who want to improve at the bottom don't look for them to drink and climb relationships, who are they looking for?

Zou Yuan, who is also the captain of the first battalion, is too old and has too much prestige, so naturally no one dares to drink with him, and Erruan is also a popular figure, but unfortunately most of the leaders of the first dry water army stayed on Dangji Island, and most of the people on the mountain were infantry cavalry minions, so these two people escaped.

Needless to say, Yang Lin Lehe's intelligence battalion was full of minions who were full of fights and killings, and they were not very interested in it, so naturally not many people rushed to go. Xie Zhen and Xie Bao, as a deputy position, are not the main target of the fire, although Sister-in-law Gu is a woman, but she is notorious, and there are few people who dare to toast.

There are only eight leaders who are present today, except for Deng Fei and Sun Xin.

Looking at the two chairs that suddenly vacated in the middle, Zou Run smiled helplessly, but today's meeting is mainly to discuss economic construction, and it has little to do with these two people, so he didn't let people call these two people, and taught them to rest for half a day.

"Today, I mainly talk about the cottage financial resources, my cottage financial resources used to rely on borrowing half of the grain, half of the sale of private salt, but now the rapid expansion, the consumption of money and food is huge, and it will soon be beyond the ends of the living, it seems that you have a good strategy?"

Facing Zou Run's inquiry, everyone looked at each other.

In other words, bandits and robbers have a second way to go besides robbery? However, the owner of his own village emphasized in every possible way that he could not rob and plunder, and could not alarm the government, this road was blocked, and only the road of private salt could be walked.

Everyone understands the road, but how to sell illicit salt is another problem. Nowadays, the imperial court implements the monopoly system of salt, wine, tea and other materials, and without official documents, it is difficult to transport this private salt out of the country and sell it on a large scale.

For a while, no one answered in the hall, and they all frowned, and Zou Yuan and Yang Lin, who were in charge of this matter, looked at each other and smiled bitterly, not knowing how to speak.

Of course, Zou Run knew that he couldn't count on anyone here in this matter, but since he said it, he had his own intentions.

In order to let them know that this family is not easy to be in the house, and the seat of the owner of the village is not easy to sit. Otherwise, these guys will spend a lot of money in the future, and he will have to be the one who cleans up the mess in the end.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that the atmosphere in the hall was getting more and more dull, Zou Run knew that the effect of beating the warning had been achieved, and it would be counterproductive if it continued to be dull, so he coughed a few times and said the plan that had been brewing for a long time.

The outline of this conversation can be summarized as follows.

First, it is clear that the main position of illicit salt sales will not waver. Illegal salt is a necessity for the people of the world, and the salt from the salt drying field on Tonji Island has the four characteristics of low cost of ownership, large output, good quality and good appearance, which can be seen from the popularity of the early market sales in the two counties near Dengzhou.

In addition to the territory of Huang County, where Dengyun Mountain is located, through the way of Sun Xingu's sister-in-law, the sea salt of Dengyun Mountain has been sold to Penglai and Muping counties, not only by the majority of ordinary people, but also by many young people's smuggling salt dealers have come to buy goods.

It can be said that the brand of Dengyun Haiyan has been completely launched, so what Zou Run has to do next is to sell a lot.

There are two ways to pave the market, one is the way of the green forest, which is the direction that Yang Lin has been working hard before, which is nothing more than to make friends with all kinds of green forest heroes, especially the groups that do private business transactions, first drink wine and eat meat with them to make friends, and then sell products, and then wait for repeat customers to come and get the goods.

This is a typical credit sales system in later generations, generally speaking, this system has an obvious drawback, that is, it is easy to deliver goods and difficult to recover the payment, but Yang Lin has thousands of minions with guns and knives on Dengyun Mountain behind him, and he is not afraid that he will not be able to collect the account.

The other road is a new path that Zou Run discovered on the way from Tokyo to Yangsan and then to Laizhou by boat, and the word "canal" contains endless business opportunities.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were four canals of Caoyun, namely: Bianhe, Cai (Huimin) River, Jinshui River, Guangji (Wuzhang) River. These four canals connected the city of Tokyo to the north and south, and were the economic lifeblood of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In particular, the general method was called "this is the good law of this dynasty" by Lu Zuqian, who was worthy of enjoying the Confucian Temple in later generations-"There is more than enough food for the soldiers, and the law of the country's capital building is full of food and soldiers, and there is no way to add to this." ”

Under the instruction of Cai Jing, a large number of traitorous ministers took out all the money and grain from the treasury and granaries along the canal to supply Song Huizong to squander, which not only caused the burden on the shoulders of the people to be heavier, but also complained, and even the boatmen who were responsible for driving the boat and the boatmen who were in charge of the gang fled in large numbers.

There are huge loopholes in the good and tight transportation system that has been developed over the decades.

In the seventh year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty, the Cao Si Yamen, who was in charge of the world's Cao Yun, stipulated that each Cao boat could carry one cent of private goods, and it was forbidden for the tax authorities along the river to stop and inspect and question. Now, due to the deficit, arrears, and misappropriation of a large amount of special money and grain, only one cent of private goods that were originally allowed to be carried has become more than three cents, and this matter has become the norm on the canal, and the relevant departments are accustomed to this and maintain a tacit attitude, otherwise the phenomenon of boatmen and boatmen fleeing will be even more serious, and the transportation system that maintains the lifeblood of the country will completely collapse.

What Zou Run is looking at is the provision that allows private goods to be carried!
