Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 342 There's Someone More Stupid Than Me!
To suppress bandits, what is suppressed is money.

Without money, what do you use to suppress bandits?
You can't let Prime Minister Jia Jia swim across the Grand Canal with the sword of Bilong in his hand, can he be that lonely brave man?

Money is a man's guts, and money is a man's life!
As long as you have money, let alone the Qingshui sect bandits, even the Bailian bandits, the Taiping army, the Nianzi, and the revolutionary party, Prime Minister Jia Jia will not pay attention.

Therefore, after listening to various opinions, he reported 1 million to the imperial court for the establishment of the two camps.

This money is really not much.

It's a real expense.

For the specific accounts, Zhili chief envoy Yang Jingsu made it clear for him, and the reported 1 million liang was not much less.

Compared to Sichuan's military spending, his side is nothing.

The 400,000 taels from Cathay Pacific, the governor of Shandong, arrived first.

Very happy, without any words, Guo Futai gave out the money.

However, according to the gossip that Yang Jingsu inquired about, since the bandit uprising, the governor of the state and Shandong, Yu Yi Jian, has asked the local government to spend money and food to assist in military affairs in various names, earning at least two million taels.

This made Jia Liu very capable.

He forced the people to rebel, deployed his own siege, and in the end taught the bandits to attack the city and plunder the land. indivual?
Big envy.

This is the benefit of sealing off borders.

It's a pity that I am the prime minister of Shandong military affairs, not the prime minister of Shandong military affairs. If I can be a governor or governor someday, I will definitely do better than Guotai.

When he becomes the prime minister of the cabinet, the Old Summer Palace can be sold to the Jia family at a price.

After the money from Shandong arrived in the account, Jia Liu immediately convened a meeting of more than a thousand officers of the coalition army. At the meeting, he directly announced that every officer and soldier who participated in the war would be paid two months' regular salary, regardless of whether the bannerman was ten taels per person.

In addition, two people are given subsidies for vegetables and rice, one person is subsidized for heatstroke prevention and cooling, and one person is subsidized for summer clothes and trousers.

In total, the officers and soldiers who participated in the war received 14 taels of silver per person, and the total expenditure was more than 140,000 taels.

The remaining money is divided into two and five, and the prime minister, Shandong governor, Tianjin governor, and Zhili governor will divide half of it, and the other half will be divided among military officers, large and small military officials, and logistics and civilian officials.

The Prime Minister ordered that whoever dares not to take the money is against the Qing Dynasty. There is no need for the bandits to take action. The Prime Minister tied him up and threw him into the canal to feed the bastard.

The effect was obvious. After receiving the money, the morale of the participating officers and soldiers soared, from the previous minus sixty points to plus fifty points.

If this morale value is applied to the battlefield, it can fire two more rounds of platoon guns and charge one hundred more steps.

Don't underestimate the power of money. Intelligence shows that there are at least a thousand former Shandong green flag soldiers, township braves (militiamen), and government servants (policemen) participating in the Ever Victorious Army. There is only one reason for these people to join the Ever Victorious Army—— The days are gone.

Therefore, Jia Liu's payment of money first can prevent internal turmoil from happening, and can fundamentally stabilize the basic situation of quelling chaos, preventing officers and soldiers from deliberately releasing water because they cannot receive wages at critical times, or turning against each other, or even attacking the prime minister at night.

In short, what he has done and used in the past has been blocked with money.

The governor of Tianjin's 100,000 taels is on his way to Jielai. Tianjin is relatively wealthy and is an important city for merchants. To raise 100,000 taels of military pay for the Tianjin gentry, it is a trivial matter.

Under the mediation of Yang Jingsu, Jia Liu had two meals with Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, in private, and finally reached a consensus that Tianjin's money should be divided into four or six.

Jia Liu Xu Si.

In the future, there will be a solution to support the camp, and it will be handled accordingly.

Zhili should release 300,000 taels of silver. However, due to frequent floods and droughts in Zhili recently, it is relatively difficult to raise funds. With the lessons learned from the civil unrest in Shandong, Zhou Yuanli, the governor of Zhili, did not dare to extort money, so he can only raise half of it first. Fiscal easing will be resolved.

In this regard, Jia Liu expressed his understanding, and also reached a consensus with Zhili Governor Yang, except that he took out 10,000 taels to manage Zhili Jieyin related officials, and the remaining [-] to [-] split the accounts.

Yang Fantai expressed his satisfaction and tried his best to promote the cooperation of the top four military leaders.

Tasting cakes by the canal today was the first time the four big brothers met collectively.

Xu Ji, the governor of Tianjin, is not very familiar to Jia Liu, but Cathay is well-known.

Anyway, in the TV series I watched in my previous life, this person is usually the villain behind the scenes.Some TV dramas exaggerated a bit, saying that Cathay Pacific even planned to kill Qianlong.

Corrupt officials among corrupt officials.

With such a bold and ruthless official, Jia Liu has no reason not to cooperate with him.

Caoliang's proposal of "changing water to trains" is Cathay Pacific's idea.

At the beginning, Jia Liu didn't quite understand why grain was changed from grain to land, because he had observed on the spot that although the canal passed through the west gate of Linqing, the ever-victorious army in the city lacked artillery and did not actually pose much threat to the grain.

At most, it is a disturbance along the river, and the damage caused is tolerable, so it is only necessary to strengthen the defense and protection of the ships, and there is no need to spend a lot of trouble.

After listening to Guo Futai's calculation, Jia Liu immediately agreed.

The current financial revenue of the Qing Dynasty is about 40 million silver a year, and the money and grain transported to the capital through the canal accounted for 20% of this financial revenue, which is conservatively estimated to be at least [-] million taels.

The scale of water transportation is rare in the past dynasties, and it can be seen that only water transportation can support millions of people.

Most of the money came from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, which shows the prosperity of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Chongzhen of the former Ming Dynasty did not say that he had the annual fiscal revenue of the Qing Dynasty, even if he had half of the money, Li Zicheng could not break through Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty could not enter the customs.

Moving food and other materials from the ship to the shore, and then transporting them by car for hundreds of miles and carrying them back on the ship, the process involves manpower handling, transportation and logistics, and a series of wear and tear.

If you don't do anything, just hire some folks to move things around, say at least 2 million taels a year, this money is fair and aboveboard, and fools don't earn it!
"[-]% is conservative, but I think it should be [-]%."

Yang Fantai in Zhili has a lot of beards, and a few mouthfuls of cake will stick to them.

Jia Liu put down the cake and said worriedly: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will send someone to oversee this matter, and it's not easy to do too much if someone sees it."

"What's wrong with the household department? The official of the household department is also a human being. As long as he is a human being, there is no one who is not greedy for money."

The three Fengjiang looked at each other and smiled. They had ten thousand ways to deal with the people from the Ministry of Household Supervision.

At the end of the meeting, everyone praised Premier Jia Jia for sharing the cake fairly, and the cake was also sweet.

In order to keep the water flowing, Jia Liu ordered a water team that came from Jining to be released a few days later. The food on board could probably last for another three or two months for the bandits in Linqing City.

The Shandong General Army only sent two hundred township braves to escort the boat, so as long as the bandits were not stupid and rushed out of the city to frighten the shore, the water workers and the township braves would abandon their boats and jump into the river.

It belongs to picking up food for nothing.

Unexpectedly, this fleet was not attacked by the ever-victorious army from the beginning to the end, and passed through safely.

Angrily, Jia Liu threw the binoculars to the ground and yelled, "Damn it, I thought I wouldn't have anything to do with war, but I didn't expect there to be people more stupid than me in this world!"
