Chapter 1241 The Money Giver Is Here

"They were not given military pay?!" He Jinsheng was shocked. He did not believe that the court would do this: "How is it possible? Sanlang is a member of a hundred households. He and the soldiers in the Division of Soldiers can get pay every month."

Dou Shaodong's family looked at He Jinsheng, pointed at him with the account book in his hand, and said: "Tsk, tsk, I think I know why you failed to pass the scholar examination, because you are stupid."

He Jinsheng failed to pass the exam twice and was already feeling very sad. Hearing these words, his eyes were red with anger: "Dou Shaodong's family says that people don't expose their shortcomings. Even if what I say is wrong, you don't have to expose my scars." ?”

Dou Shaodong's family: "Oh, what's wrong with exposing your scars? If you go to other places and meet a gangster, let alone exposing your scars, I might even kill you."

Then he said: "Qin Baihu and the others do receive military pay every month, but do you know where the military pay comes from? General Guo found a way to get it and distribute it to the soldiers. The soldiers in other cities are not so good. Life."

"As early as the drought in the northwest, the imperial court began to reduce the military salaries of the southern provinces, from 30% to 50%, and finally to 70%. In addition, it also reduced various types of military supplies, including horses, weapons, medicinal materials, Most of the clothes, shoes, food, etc. have been cut off. Those who could eat dry food before now have to drink water."

"These are still good. After all, Jianghuai and Jiangnan are rich and can keep the soldiers well-fed, but Zhongzhou is different. I have business in Zhongzhou, and I know that they have stopped paying wages since last winter and eat two meals a day. It’s so rare that during the Chinese New Year this year, we can’t even get meat. It’s because the soldiers went up to the mountains to hunt that they can eat meat during the Chinese New Year.”

Dou Shaodong's family talked a lot about things other than Jianghuai, which frightened He Jinsheng so much that he couldn't speak and fell to the ground.

Gu Dexing helped him up and asked Dou Shaodong's family with a pale face: "Is the situation in Zhongzhou really so bad? Why can't even the soldiers in the barracks have enough to eat? Don't the emperor and the adults know that something big will happen? ?”

Once something goes wrong in the military camps of various prefectures, it's no joke. Dachu may be affected by this...

Gu Dexing didn't dare to think about those two words. He had experienced fleeing from famine and was extremely afraid of the days when he would starve and run for his life but not know where his shelter was.

Dou Shaodong's family said: "The emperor and the adults naturally knew it, so they did not reduce the military salaries in the northwest, northeast, Zhili and other places. As for why they cut the military salaries in the south, it is because the south is rich and has no war. The emperor and the adults feel that as long as the troops in the south are reduced As long as the soldiers don’t starve to death, it will be enough.”

Zhongzhou is more miserable. It belongs to neither north nor south. Originally, the military pay should not be reduced. But now that the treasury is empty, the emperor and the adults feel that if something happens in Zhongzhou, they can send soldiers from Jianghuai to suppress it, so they reduce Zhongzhou’s military pay. Military pay has caused the current situation.

He Jinsheng was a scholar. He couldn't accept it after hearing this. He cried and said: "Why is this happening? It's just a drought. Several years have passed. Why haven't you recovered?"

"Ha, idiot, who told you that this is all because of the drought?" Dou Shaodong's family laughed: "Why don't you follow my Shaodong's family to deliver goods to other places? Once you go there, you will know what the problem is. Where is it? But you are so weak, I am afraid you will die on the road."

The reason why Dou Shaodong's family knew about the military camps in various prefectures was because the soldiers also had to make a living. They took his money and helped him escort goods to places with bandits.

After hearing this, He Jinsheng cried even harder and asked, "Will something happen to our Jianghuai?"

Dou Shaodong's family: "The two cities near Zhongzhou are already in chaos. Hushan Prefecture is hard to say. There is a new bank in He'an Prefecture. As long as the farmers have money to pay taxes, they should be able to survive this time. Linhe Prefecture is close to Jiangnan and is from Jiangnan. It is a dangerous place, relatively wealthy, and there are some aristocratic families and local prominent families here. If they want to survive, they will not let Linhe Mansion get into chaos."

So when they opened a new bank, they included Baigu County in Hushan Prefecture, which is close to He'an Prefecture. As soon as there is enough money, they will build a new bank in Baigu County and lend money to the people of Baigu County.

As long as there is no chaos in Baigu County, He'an Prefecture will be able to get a "natural barrier" to keep all chaos out of Baigu County.

But now that money is tight, I don't even know if He'an Prefecture can be stabilized, let alone Baigu County.

After hearing this, He Jinsheng couldn't say a word and cried silently.

When Gu Jinan saw him, he did not comfort him. Since he wanted to pursue an official career, it would be better to know about these dangers in advance.

He said: "Stop crying, calculate all the accounts quickly and see how much money is needed to be used by the farmers in Tianfu County and the three nearby counties? After calculating the accounts, Dou Shaodong's family will be able to keep money. Wait. After enough money is retained, the rest will be transported to the new bank in Luchang County."

"To transport it to the bank in Luchang County, why not transport it to Fucheng first?" He Jinsheng wiped his tears and asked in confusion.

Dou Shaodong's family laughed: "You idiot, what are you doing in Fucheng? Are the old men in Fucheng dead? We have so much money, are you still waiting for me to save them? It's time to let them shed some blood." "

Dou Ou Bank is just a hope and a lure, used to attract other rich people. Just relying on him to get money from the Ouyang family and the Gu family will not be able to do this even if they lose all their money.

After hearing this, He Jinsheng felt that he was really a fool. Only today did he realize that he was far different from An Geer and the others. He knew nothing about the outside world except for a few things in Tianfu County.

He Jinsheng stood up, bowed to Dou Shaodong's family, and said, "Jin Sheng thanks you brothers for your guidance."

Dou Shaodong's family made a sound and said: "Don't do all these sour things and get to work quickly."

With a bang, he directly put a stack of names in front of He Jinsheng: "This is the list of farmers who borrowed money from our bank. According to the list, you can calculate how much interest these people will pay next month, and then calculate the interest collected. I’ve got the money list and it will be used next month, don’t be lazy!”

Not only are they busy opening a new bank recently, but they are also busy collecting next month's interest. They are so busy that they don't even have time to drink water.

"This, so many?" He Jinsheng's face turned green. He had been there for several days and was so exhausted. When he saw this huge roster and thought about the work he was going to do next, he wanted to faint.

"Yes, so you work quickly and don't grind away." Dou Shaodong said, and after drinking a cup of warm tea to reduce inflammation, he also started to work.

"Master, Mr. Xu's grandson and grandson are here, saying they have something to do with you." Dou Zhi stood outside the door and said towards Dou Shaodong's house.

After hearing this, Dou Shaodong's family glanced at Gu Dexing and said, "Mr. Xu? What is that old fox doing here? My Shaodong family is busy, so I'm gone."

Damn it, come sooner or later. Once they have stabilized Tianfu County, the old fox will come.

Are you thinking of picking something up off the shelf? His surname is Dou, so it’s so easy to take advantage of him?
