please make me king

Chapter 1046 Water Transport
Gentle Township is the Tomb of Heroes.

Zhang Shun was originally weak-willed, so if he was seduced by someone, he would be hooked!

Just as he was immersed in beauty, he didn't know the age, and he ruined Ma Yingniang and other girls in a hurry.

On this day, Ma Yingniang was leading Baoqin to play in front of Zhang Shun's gate, and Wang Jinyi had already rushed there.

"What's the matter? Why are you in such a hurry?" Ma Yingniang couldn't help jumping up and asked hastily.

"Hey, I went wrong!" Wang Jinyi patted his head and said, "I have seen the concubine, General Zhang has a letter from Shangzhou, and I want to send it to King Shun!"

"Shangzhou? But a letter from my brother?" Ma Yingniang couldn't help but asked quickly, her eyes lit up.

"Oh, exactly!" Seeing that Ma Yingniang was not an outsider, Wang Jinyi responded casually.

"Well, I happen to have something to do with King Shun, so give it to me, and I'll take it to you!" Ma Yingniang said seriously.

"That's fine!" Wang Jinyi hesitated for a moment, and found that Ma Yingniang seemed to have no problem transferring the letter, so he quickly handed it to her.

It stands to reason that the harem cannot interfere in politics, it is only the initial creation of the rebel army system, and there is no such rule at all.

"Let's go, hold the piano!" Ma Yingniang chuckled, now she had an excuse.

Baoqin foolishly picked up the Guqin in front of him, pouted involuntarily.

What, playing the piano in front of someone's house early in the morning, besides disturbing people's dreams, what good is it for?
It seems that my master doesn't seem very smart!
"Hey, who are you, why did you come in here!" Yuanyuan looked at Ma Yingniang in disbelief as she swaggered in with a piano in her arms.

"Where's King Shun?" Ma Yingniang wrinkled her nose, looking at the pure and pretty girl in front of her with a hint of coquettish expression, she became vigilant.

"Oh? Yingniang, are you here to see Xiang'er? Come in and sit down!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but push the door open when he heard a familiar voice, and he was playing with a walnut-like object in his hand.

"Business!" Ma Yingniang said angrily, shaking the letter in her hand.

What are you going to sit in?
Do you want to see their master and servant flaunting their might?

Zhang Shun still understands the truth about business affairs.

He smiled and took the letter and tore it open, and it was Zhang Sanbai's handwriting that looked like a dog gnawed into his eyes.

Zhang Shun glanced twice, and couldn't help but his eyes lit up and said: "Brother did a good job, and solved one of my most troublesome problems!"

"What's the matter?" Ma Yingniang had nothing to say, since she had already come, she must bring something back before leaving.

"Shaanxi is short of food!" Zhang Shun said with a wry smile, "Although the summer harvest has just passed, the famine is serious everywhere."

"Lv Weiqi told me a few days ago that although Xi'an Mansion has been brought under the control of the rebel army, the actual tax is estimated to be only five or six hundred thousand shi."

"If the clearing of the farmland is completed, it is estimated that another [-] shi can be expropriated, and the number of acres of land in the Wangfu is also [-]. If it can be collected truthfully, the total should be about [-] million shi."

In fact, this amount is quite a lot. Even if the entire Xia tax of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty was collected in full, it would only be [-] shi.

Through the three policies of expropriation in kind, clearing up the farmland and confiscating the property of the palace, Zhang Shun collected nearly twice the original amount of taxes of the Ming Dynasty.

"The military salary is enough!" Zhang Shun couldn't help explaining, "It's just that the first one is still not enough to relieve the victims, and the second is that the price of salt and cloth has skyrocketed, and the supply is in short supply!"

"Based on my estimates, the gap in rice and wheat should be [-] shi, and the gap in cloth should be around [-] bolts. If the rebels want to expand their army and prepare for war, clean up bandits and disorderly troops, and recruit the Ming border army, there will be a lot of them."

"Although Cheng Jia, a merchant from Huaiyang, agreed to transport five million shi of grain, but the traffic was limited, in fact, the annual import of [-] million shi was already the limit. And the grain could only be stored in Nanyang, Yuzhou and other places with smooth waterways. "

"Now my brother-in-law discovered that Danshui can also be transported by water in Shangzhou. God helped me!"

When it comes to official business, Zhang Shun is also eloquent.

Who wants to hear you say this?
Since your mouth is so sweet, can't you just coax me!
Ma Yingniang curled her lips, but she couldn't interrupt Zhang Shun's interest, so she could only agree, "That's a good relationship, as long as my brother can help my husband!"

"Hahaha!" Zhang Shun laughed a few times narrowly, and then asked, "Aren't you going into the house to take a look? The baby is so cute!"

"No!" Ma Yingniang was so pouted that she could tie a donkey, why is this man so annoying!

"Okay, wait a minute!" Zhang Shun comforted her gently, then turned around and went into the room to give Li Xiang and Liu Rushi some instructions.

After a while, he came out again and said, "Okay, let's go!"

"Where are you going?" Ma Yingniang was a little confused.

"Where are you going, you little vinegar jar?" Zhang Shun scratched her small nose and couldn't help but teased.

"Okay, you already saw it, didn't you? Didn't you?" Ma Yingniang became furious and wanted to fight Zhang Shun when she came up.

Relying on his stronger arms, Zhang Shun quickly restrained Ma Yingniang, then waved his hands and said, "Let's go, Yuanyuan, lend me this pocket watch for two days and then return it to you!"

"Okay, my lord just take it!" Yuanyuan replied helplessly.

Which boy is not passionate, which girl is not pregnant!
Yuanyuan is still very young, and she has just had physical contact with him, and she puts all her heart on him, and she can't help but worry about gains and losses.

Not to mention Zhang Shun and Ma Yingniang, let's say that after Zhang Sanbai arrived in Shangzhou City, after many inquiries, he learned that Longjuzhai to the east of Shangzhou was a flood and drought wharf, and Huang Shoucai and others personally led hundreds of cavalry to drive away. come here.

"What a place!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but praise when he came to the front.

It turns out that there is a mountain just north of Longju Village. If a camp can be established here, the entire city of Longju Village can be controlled.

Then Zhang Sanbai ordered his soldiers to find local merchants and tax collectors to inquire about water transportation.

It's just that although Zhang Sanbai is much more handsome than Zhang Shun, who dares to talk to him with a cold old face?

After changing several people in a row, only one old tax collector narrated under the coercion and lure of the rebel army: "The goods from Xi'an are exchanged for Artemisia boats, and then they are transferred to Xiaohekou by small loach boats at Jingjing Pass in Xichuan County, Nanyang. Change sailboats and enter the Han River, so far the goods will go south and north, all at your disposal!"

"What do you think?" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help but turned to Huang Shoucai and asked.

"Yes!" Huang Shoucai nodded and said, "I've looked carefully just now, and the Artemisia boat here is no less than a boat of five stones, and it's even better than an ox cart!"

"If the Dan water is divided into two streams, one goes down the river and the other goes up the river, connected end to end, [-] boats can be sailed every day, and [-] stones can be transported every month. Worry!"

"Okay!" Zhang Sanbai saw that the task was expected to be completed, and couldn't help smiling, "But this is the key, and there is no room for loss."

"For one thing, I want to send Lin Chengcheng, the 'King of the World', to lead a group of people to set up camp on this mountain and control Longju Village."

"Secondly, I am going to reorganize the tax department, and use this income to support the army. I don't know what Mr. Huang thinks?"

"This is a taboo thing!" Huang Shoucai was taken aback, and quickly dissuaded him.

Just kidding, you have both soldiers and food, and you still need to collect lijin. I don't even dare to think about what you want to do in the future!
"My uncle is also afraid of a bird!" Zhang Sanbai couldn't help sneering when he heard this.

"Chen Changzhu is guarding Guyuan, Xiao Qinhu is guarding Nanyang, soldiers, food and wealth are all in one body, what should I do?"

"Nowadays the whole world is disturbed, and King Shun is too troublesome, so why not do it for me?"
