Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 127
Next to the newly built warehouse, Zhang Tie gathered his thoughts and said, "If you put it this way, I really owe him a big favor."

Zhang Shun and others on the side nodded in agreement. Zhang Tie really owes Deng Wei a lot of favor now.

"Since this is the case, it's time to develop your own family business. The current silver is probably running out."

Zhang Tie looked at Qiao Shan while talking.

Nowadays, the financial management is all handled by Qiao Shan. It has to be said that Qiao Shan is really good at finance and manages things like accounts in an orderly manner.

In response to Zhang Tie's question, Qiao Shan replied without hesitation: "My lord, it costs nearly 100 taels a month to recruit craftsmen and cleaners. I went to check the number of recruits yesterday, and there are more than 600. There are more than [-] veterans, plus more than [-] servants from the third class."

"Now the total strength of the army is 400. The monthly wages for ordinary soldiers and policemen are one tael, and the centurions and chieftains are paid two taels of silver. The monthly wages are [-] taels. At that time, the wages have to be doubled.”

Qiao Shan licked his dry lips, and continued: "Also, some of the clerks in the yamen are oversubscribed, that is, people who are not on the court roster."

"The people on the roster will be paid wages every three months by the imperial court, which is quite a bit, but for those who are in excess, the adults have to pay for it themselves, about 100 taels of silver."

Qiao Shan took out the account book he carried with him from his cuff, turned to the middle, and after confirming it, he continued: "Also, the imperial court will distribute 3000 taels of official silver every three months, and it will be distributed to soldiers and yamen servants as adults. However, when I checked the previous records, only about 2000 taels were in my hands, and the rest of the silver taels were missing.”

Zhang Tie and the others were secretly startled, although they all thought that some of the official silver issued by the court would definitely be taken away from it, but they didn't expect it to be so much.

Qiao Shan also knew the inside story of this, so he didn't stay too long, and didn't explore the reasons. This is already a rule in the officialdom. With the current strength of Zhang Shun and others, he dare not make mistakes.

"Nowadays, the taxation of stores in the county should be able to generate hundreds of taels of income per month."

"That is to say, adults have to pay 1000 taels of silver out of it every month, if there is still [-] official silver in their hands."

After Qiao Shan finished reporting everything, Zhang Tie and the others were silent for a while.

Now Zhang Tie and others have more than 2000 taels of cash, and then the income from the grocery store.

Although today’s grocery store is not as popular as it was at the beginning, it still has an income of nearly 50 taels a day. After one month, there are about 500 taels, which is just enough to pay the soldiers’ wages.

But such a small amount of money is obviously not enough. Biancheng County is the border of Yan State. Every autumn harvest season, Mongols and Koreans will cross the border to plunder the property of Biancheng County.

This period of time lasted almost two months, and during these two months, the wages of soldiers had to be paid twice as much as usual, because it had entered the war period.

And once a soldier is injured or dies, he will have to pay a considerable amount of money.

The weapons and equipment on the soldiers also require money to repair, and the consumption of arrows also requires money. All of these are inseparable from money, so the most important thing for Zhang Tie and others now is to make money to support these soldiers.

Soldiers will work for you only if you have money, don't just ignore him if you are recruited, the system also has its rules.

Just like in the game, once the morale drops to a certain level, there will be deserters, and it will be the same in reality.

Now the only way for Zhang Tie and others to make money is to trade with other places just like the Deng family.

In terms of trade, Zhang Tie's current situation is actually very good. First of all, the caravan guards are perfect.

Now Zhang Tie has an upper limit of more than 400 troops. Although the attributes are no longer superimposed like before, they are still quite a force.

Moreover, Zhang Tie can also put the previously recruited soldiers into his team, so that he can have more than 400 guards with second-rate warrior strength, so that at least four caravan guards can be formed. Escort caravans to various places for trade.

As for specialty products, it has to be said that Zhang Tie is still much better than others in this respect.

Now as soon as the warehouse is renovated, there will be a large amount of refined salt, wine, furs, fruits, etc.

These are very good special products, especially refined salt, which will definitely sell at a high price. Although they cannot be sold in Yan's country (it does not matter in border towns), they can be sold to other countries.

For example, inland countries such as Mongolia, Dali, Zhao, and Shu are all countries lacking salt, and they can sell these prohibited items that cannot be sold in Yan.

As for transportation, fear of being searched, it does not exist. These are system items, which can be put into the inventory. In the future, as long as each caravan has a deputy general, it can pass the inspection perfectly and reach the destination. Foreigners trade and make huge profits.

Zhang Shun and the others were secretly surprised when they heard that they had to pay so much money every month, they didn't expect it to be so much.

Zhang Tie was not very surprised when he arrived. People who have experienced the era of big data still understand some of this. "Fortunately, I have already thought of a solution. Let's discuss it with them tomorrow."

Zhang Tie waved his hands at several people. "This is really a lot of money. It seems that we must find a way to make money."

"Well, call Yan Beichen, Liu Yi and others tomorrow to have a small meeting in the backyard of the yamen to discuss how to make money."

"Then in terms of construction, I will renovate the warehouse first, and then open the factory."

While Zhang Tie was talking, he came to the newly built warehouse and modified it.

Although he had some thoughts in his heart, Zhang Tie still wanted to hear other people's thoughts. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, right?
(I'm talking about you guys! You know what I mean.)

[Warehouse: water character number xxxxx]

And just when Zhang Tie and others were going to open the ironworks, a young man was riding on the back of a scarlet horse, holding a nomadic bow and a horse rope in the other hand at a horse farm on the grassland. .

The young man was eighteen or nineteen years old, with a heroic appearance and an imposing manner. He was a rare and beautiful young man.

The scarlet horse under the young man seemed to be his body, as the young man swayed gently, the red horse also swayed.

The scarlet horse was galloping recklessly on the field. The young man slightly controlled the speed of the horse, slowing it down a little, and then balanced it.

Then the right hand suddenly released the rope controlling the horse, and took out a spiked arrow from the quiver hanging on the right side of the horse.

The young man directly bent his bow and set the arrow, glanced at it slightly, released his right hand holding the spiked arrow, and then grabbed the rope that controlled the horse again. The whole process was like flowing clouds and flowing water, which was pleasing to the eye.

With a whistling sound, the Spike Arrow hit the archery target 50 meters away, hitting the Qihuan.

The Mongols are nomadic people, so they naturally do not have the technology of planting and smelting and mining. The iron materials basically come from the countries in the Central Plains.

As early as hundreds of years ago, Mongolia had traded with countries such as the Central Plains mainly in silk and iron and other metals, which shows the scarcity of iron in Mongolia.

Normally, when Mongolian people shoot arrows continuously, they will practice with arrows made of beast bones. However, the man in front of him can practice archery with wolf fang arrows, which shows that his identity is extraordinary.

When the spiked arrow hit the target, there was a burst of applause not far away.

A man gradually walked towards the young man riding the horse from outside the racecourse. The man was wearing a gray Mongolian robe and had long braids. He looked rough and had a beard on his chin that was ten centimeters long.

While clapping his hands, the man said to the young man on horseback: "Bayar, your archery skills are getting better and better. I believe that in a few years, you will be able to surpass your Abu (father). Become the number one warrior of the Tara tribe."

The Tara tribe, vassalized by the Kelei tribe, is the Mongolian tribe closest to Biancheng County.

Bayar saw the person coming, and drove the horse towards him. "Uncle, what's the matter, my current archery skills are far behind my Abu's."

When he came to his uncle, Bayar turned over and got off the horse, and patted the horse's head lightly. The red horse seemed to be human. It seemed that Bayar glanced at it and walked away wagging his tail.

Bayar's uncle looked at the red horse with admiration, and said with emotion: "Bayar, your Abu really loves you, and gave you this bloody horse. It seems that the position of the patriarch , it will be yours in the future.”

Bayar looked haughty, nodded, and agreed with what his uncle said very much, as if he had become the patriarch of the Tara tribe.

"Uncle Ba Taide, soon it will be the autumn harvest time for the people of Yan Kingdom, should we search for it?"

Ba Taide said in embarrassment: "Bayar, when your father went to the Kelei tribe, he had an order, don't act rashly for the time being, and now that the country of Yan has formed an alliance with our Mongolia country, it may not be very good to go. .”

Regarding what his uncle said, Bayar obviously could not deny it, and said with a look of disdain: "When did the Yan Kingdom form an alliance with our Mongolian country? It is just an alliance with the Qiyan tribe."

"When will the Qiyan tribe replace our whole Mongolia?"

In Bayar's tone, there was disdain for the Yan people and dissatisfaction with the Qiyan tribe. It seemed that he was quite disgusted with the alliance with Yan.

"But."

Batide seemed to want to say something to change Bayar's thoughts, but was interrupted directly by Bayar.

"It's nothing to worry about, uncle, we are warriors of the gods, eagles on the prairie, not birds kept in other people's homes."

"And what are you afraid of? Our Tara tribe is loyal to the Klei tribe, not the Qiyan tribe."

"As soon as the autumn harvest season arrives, send troops immediately!"

In the last sentence, Bayar sounded like an order, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Bartide, who stayed where he was, trembled his lips, and finally let out a long sigh.
