Uncle Guo

Chapter 42

Chang Qinghe wants to train a soldier who is brave and good at fighting, but the salary given by the court is limited. He himself is only five taels of silver a month, which was set by Emperor Tai-zu at that time. However, from five taels of silver to ten taels of silver, it is not enough to spend.Even if Master Qianhu is like this, the soldiers below are even more miserable.In addition to military training, Chang Qinghe had to farm the land, and Chang Qinghe was not enough to distribute the money to them.

In a word, he had to learn how to make money.

He knew this, but he didn't know how to make money.

Liang Xuanchen knew!

The so-called collusion between officials and businessmen, a family of soldiers and bandits, through Li Mingtang's intermediary, matchmaking, Mr. Mu decided to cooperate with Mr. He Chengwang.

Liang Xuanchen used a pseudonym, and the word "Liang" was a rotten wood. Uncle Guo was not allowed to go out to do business according to the national law and ancestral system, so he had to let Dikong and Shuikong come forward to do things.

Chang Qinghe also used a pseudonym, and military households were not allowed to do business except occupying land for defense. If something happened, He Chengwang would flee in fear of crime and everything would be fine, and Master Chang Qinghe would not be involved.

The two met at Yueyang Tower to drink tea and discuss.Chang Qinghe was very nervous. Although he met him in the carriage in the name of He Chengwang last time, and saw Liang Xuanchen who had reunited after a long time at such a close distance, it was the first time for the two of them to formally invite him.Before going out, he repeatedly tossed about how to dress himself, but was laughed at by Li Mingtang: "He can't even see, so what does it matter what you wear?"

Chang Qinghe said: "According to what you said, since he can't see anyway, it's fine if I don't wear it?"

Li Mingtang thought about that scene, and found it too exciting.

"His two boys recognize me, so I have to find a way to get rid of it. Last time I almost made a mistake at the pier, don't let this trivial matter cause trouble."

"Don't worry, I'll send you to meet your lover, so naturally I'll hold back the bad guy."

Chang Qinghe glared at him unhappily, "Am I going to meet my lover, or to seek everyone's future?"

"Okay, ok, lord Qianhu is for the future of thousands of us!" Li Mingtang hurriedly followed him.

Chang Qinghe was dressed in gilded white brocade clothes, suet jade pendant on his waist, and a pair of sheepskin short boots. He was well-dressed, and his hair was combed by a woman who combed hair in the building outside. Still can't believe it.The three thousand troubles under the jade crown are meticulously tied up, the eyebrows are cut like a knife, the eyes are like lacquer spots, the nose is like a gall, and the lips are plump.Li Mingtang really wanted to push him down and do whatever he wanted, but he just thought about it, he knew that this was a strong horse, he couldn't ride it easily, and according to the horse's hooves, he could kick himself to pieces.

Liang Xuanchen has thin lips, and those with thin lips are ruthless.

Chang Qinghe's lips are just right, people can't help touching and kissing them just looking at them.Li Mingtang remembered that he complained, saying that Liang Xuanchen didn't like his appearance, Li Mingtang thought to himself: So that blind man went blind early in the morning!

When the land was empty and the water was empty, they arrived at the downstairs of Yueyang, and they were dragged by Li Mingtang's left and right guards to drink and eat meat elsewhere. Eight hundred miles away, Dongting Haohao Tangtang, upstairs is the place where the young masters chat and drink tea, and the two servants followed. what?

It wasn't the first time Liang Xuanchen met He Chengwang. He was able to help him last time, and this time he came to talk about cooperation. Therefore, he didn't suspect him, so he went upstairs with a white jade and purple bamboo stick.

"Uncle Guo, please!" Li Mingtang led people to the balcony.

Liang Xuanchen said: "Master Li made a mistake again."

"Yes yes yes, Mr. Li slipped his tongue! It's Mr. Mu."

Hearing the movement, Chang Qinghe hurriedly got up from his seat, and was a little nervous when he stepped out, fearing that the sound of footsteps would reveal his feet.

"I've seen Mr. He." Liang Xuanchen found the direction accurately, and bowed to Chang Qinghe.

Chang Qinghe returned the salute subconsciously, he cleared his hoarse throat, "Mr. Mu, sit here."

The two sat down, and the waiter served tea again. Chang Qinghe was very nervous, but Liang Xuanchen started talking about the tea in his hand, and resolved the embarrassment.

"To tell you the truth, I really don't know anything about business. When I was a hundred households, I didn't care about it. I took the lead in the charge, and the soldiers under me rushed with me. Now that I have become a thousand households, I realized that the people below are always There are bullets that cannot be suppressed." Chang Qinghe asked for advice modestly, knowing that Uncle Guo had led soldiers and guarded the city.He blocked Qianhu in the Diaoerlang area of ​​Hubenwei, and he didn't appreciate it for many years. It's really embarrassing for him, but he has real skills.

Liang Xuanchen said: "Lord He is humble. I think you are a general. In the future, you will not only be in the position of a thousand households, but you will be a general and a minister."

Chang Qinghe frowned, remembering that he had said this to himself before, and suspected that he would be so polite to every military household from time to time.

"The more soldiers Han Xin leads, the better. Since he led the soldiers, he has discovered that the more people there are, the more things will happen. You must be able to suppress them on weekdays and prevent them from causing trouble. When you pull them out in wartime, you must be willing to work hard for you. One after another. Everything is not easy."

Liang Xuanchen said: "Master He can invite me to come, doesn't it prove that you can lead more soldiers?"

Li Mingtang broke in and laughed, which made Liang Xuanchen and Chang Qinghe feel embarrassed instead.Chang Qinghe waved his hand, signaling him to go down first, Li Mingtang was not reconciled, but he still found an excuse to back down and let the two of them talk in private.

Liang Xuanchen has contacts in Dongting and Poyang, and not only relying on the reputation of his uncle from other countries, but also relying on some of the three religions and nine schools he met while walking in the rivers and lakes.At that time, Li Mingtang and Chang Qinghe took away King Ning's navy and reorganized the army. He had ships and soldiers responsible for escorting the goods.In this way, the caravan will exist.

Buying goods requires money, where does the money come from?This is Chang Qinghe's biggest headache.As a result, Mr. Mu was drinking tea and said lightly: Money fell from the sky.

Chang Qinghe didn't dare to laugh, knowing that Liang Xuanchen must have a way to say that.

"We set up money houses in the northern and southern states, and we can expand them later with money and manpower."

"Who's going to deposit money?"

"Large households in the city, landlords, merchants, military lords, and court officials with a lot of money and nowhere to put it, you can also collect a little money from small households and small households at the beginning, and you can get it back with interest after one year of deposit. The interest will continue for three years, and those who come to save money after three years will have no profit, and the bank will only keep it on its behalf, so as to avoid the disaster of loss, water, fire, and robbery."

Chang Qinghe opened his eyes wide, he didn't expect that money could be raised in this way. "Will someone come to save money in the first place?"

"Master He has soldiers in his hand, so why not worry about money? You go to the houses of the major households and remind them that bandits have been infested recently. The money is still safe in the bank and guarded by the soldiers of the court. Why are you afraid of bandits? If it is local There are a lot of bandits, and it is not safe to keep property at home, so it is more at ease to store it in a bank. Let’s see which big family is the most rich and unkind, and they will act on behalf of the sky and kill chickens to warn monkeys. Do you understand what I mean? Don’t be afraid of being an official, just manage it up and down, and it’s good if someone in the court is willing to speak for you.”

Chang Qinghe nodded, feeling that Liang Xuanchen said that this kind of indiscriminate method turned out to be robbing the rich and helping the poor, which seemed natural and justified.And I have soldiers in my hand, but I don't know that there is such a usage?

"This method is good. I'm afraid that someone will sue the imperial court, saying that the soldiers of the imperial court are a disaster for the place."

Liang Xuanchen said: "Will you allow your soldiers to cause disaster to the place?"

Chang Qinghe fell silent.

Liang Xuanchen said again: "After a year, return the money to these merchants with interest, and they can still sue you? Don't worry, as long as no one is killed, no one will sue you. The officers and soldiers collect taxes and collect corvee, which is only more murderous than this. There are some officials who forced the people to rebel, and I haven’t seen the rich man let go of his life. However, he went to the capital to sue. After this year, he can sit back and relax. I'm afraid that people will rush to save money in the next year. You should go back and think about it. What kind of rich name should be given to the bank, and the semicolon will be opened to Yangzhou in the future. If..." Speaking of this, Liang Xuanchen laughed at himself Laughing, "If you can't raise money like this, then that's okay. At most, I can ask someone to credit me for the first few deals."

Chang Qinghe thought in his heart that he didn't seem to have fought a big battle when he was in Lingshan. It was all because Lin Mingcheng had no soldiers or generals under his command, so he was different. He didn't need others to bribe or give money. Money tree, why worry about not being able to get money to raise soldiers?

The two wentssiping for a while, Liang Xuanchen yawned, said that it was getting late and he was going back to rest, and said goodbye to Chang Qinghe.

Now that they hit it off, Chang Qinghe decided to do it this way. It was man-made. According to Liang Xuanchen's methods and instructions, he ran out and only threatened him with kindness. Fake silver made of stainless steel.With this money, he has confidence. In fact, Liang Xuanchen didn't bring any money when he went out to discuss business. He only took the bank's self-printed voucher as a bank note.

Chang Qinghe doesn't know how he does business. He only knows that Mr. Mu's business has developed rapidly, and within a year he has annexed many merchants across the east, west, and deep canals. At the end of the year, he personally went to the north of the Great Wall to do business A lot of big ones, ginseng and antler animal belts brought back dozens of cars, and hundreds of people were bought just for maids and servants.The poorly managed Goulan tile shop in Yangzhou City should change its lobby overnight and become an industry under the name of Runfeng Bank.

Li Mingtang led his soldiers to send the baihuahua money back to the merchants. After one year expires, he can get back the principal with interest, and Runfeng Bank will do what it says.

Among them, there are quite a few quick-witted ones who are planning to continue to keep the money in the bank, and of course there are some who just accept it as soon as it is good. They went home and spent a year anxiously, but no one came to retaliate.

Since then, soldiers in the Changqing River Belt have been paid twice or even three times as much as ordinary officers and soldiers of the same level, and those who have made great achievements have been rewarded heavily. Human heads are not human heads, they are all white silver.During this year, the soldiers are not afraid of the Japanese pirates coming, but they are afraid that they will not come, which will affect their ability to kill enemies and earn money. It is clearly under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the soldiers under them often go north and south to Shandong and Fujian to kill Japanese pirates. For a while, the East China Sea coast is lively Extraordinary, when the caravan saw the navy, they quickly raised the banner of the dynasty, and the soldiers on the border of Shandong and Fujian saw the friendly troops from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and shouted all the way: "How many heads did you earn today? "

"Hey, why didn't you kill him if someone took the head?"

"Our Master Qianhu doesn't give so much bounty, let's leave it to you!"

Seeing that Chang Qinghe was so good at fighting, the imperial court sent him to North Jiangsu to get rid of King Kang's lair.King Kang and Zhang Xiuyong fled northward to the border of Shandong, where they lingered in the mountains for more than two years. This time, they were finally beaten by Chang Qinghe, and they were both arrested and taken to the capital for trial.

The emperor was very happy, and awarded Changqinghe the post of commander of the dragon and tiger guards. Changqinghe, who was in his early twenties, was already a young general with a bright future.

Some people said that Chang Qinghe was originally under King Kang's command, and it was heartless to pursue and kill his old master so fiercely.

It is also said that the emperor took a fancy to this point, knowing that Chang Qinghe knew King Kang best, and using Chang Qinghe to quell the chaos, finally pulled out the thorn in King Kang's eyes, and the world can enjoy peace from now on, which is for the benefit of the people great cause.
