Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 608

Shuan Zhu was still young and lacked experience in fighting the enemy, so he was quickly defeated in front of the wily young master.

Frankly confessed that when he came back, Sichuan General Soldier Wang Fu gave him 1000 taels, deputy generals Chang Bingzhong of Chengdu Town, deputy general Zu Yingyuan of Jinchuan Town, and deputy general Ma Dayuan of Chongqing Town each gave him 500 taels, plus other gifts, the total There are more than four thousand taels.

This is a lot of money, calculated by purchasing power, it is almost more than [-] yuan.

"Do you know why the eunuchs in the palace used to like to run away? It's because these eunuchs can take advantage of others and collect money from people everywhere in the name of the emperor!"

"Yang Zhi, Yang Zhi, what are you asking me to say about you! You will hear my words, don't you! You really think I won't put you in a coffin and bury you alive!"

Jia Liu was so angry that he spat, and counted the bank notes that Shuanzhu handed in one by one, to make sure that the numbers matched what Shuanzhu had told him.

"Master, I really can't blame me for this matter. I said no, and they insisted on giving it to me. If I don't want them, they would be unhappy. I look down on them. close first"

Shuan Zhu turned quickly, and when he saw something was wrong, he hurriedly complained, and claimed that he was uniting his subordinates for the sake of the young master, not because he was greedy for profit and wantonly amassing money under the banner of the young master.

"Shut up, I don't know others, but I still don't know you, Yang Shuanzhu!"

"You're dishonest when you're by my side, and you're not going to heaven if you're not by my side!"

"Because it's your first offense, let's forget it this time. Next time, don't blame the young master for putting you in a coffin and burying you with the old man!"

Jia Liu squinted at Shuan Zhu, then counted out a 200 taels bank note and threw it on the table, snorted: "Take half of yours, don't stain my eyes!"

"Isn't it?"

Shuan Zhu took the 200 taels bank note from the table in a daze, his face flushed, and he finally mustered up the courage to ask: "Master, just now we agreed to surrender to half of the people, why is it so much? Shouldn't it be so?" Give me 2300 taels?"

Jia Liu said "Hey", raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows angrily: "In theory, it is so, but I have repeated orders and repeated orders not to allow you to collect money, but you took the lead in breaking my rules. Do you want to fine 1000 taels?"

"."

Shuan Zhu drooped his head, "Even if I was fined 1000 taels, wouldn't there be 1300 taels?"

Hearing this, Jia Liu didn't raise his head: "Then you still have to pay me 1000 taels."

"Losing 1000 taels?"

Shuan Zhu was at a loss, he had already been fined, so why should he pay?

"I trust you so much and treat you as a brother, but you take money from the people below behind my back. Do you think my heart hurts? Do you want to use money to make up for the wound in my heart?"

Jia Liu was heartbroken and looked at Shuanzhu with hatred for iron.

Shuan Zhu was completely speechless, and muttered unwillingly: "That should be 300 taels, and 100 taels less."

"You still have the face to say?"

Jia Liulai got angry, "Do you want a bride price when you marry Qiutao?"

"what?"

Shuan Zhu was stunned: Qiu Tao never told him about the bride price.

Jia Liubai took a silly look at Shuan Zhu: "Qiu Tao is the personal servant girl of your third young mistress. She is named master and servant, but she is actually a sister. An older sister and your brother-in-law don't get 100 taels as a gift, right?"

"Not much, not much!"

Shuan Zhu's eyes were about to smile together.

"That's over."

Satisfied, Jia Liu put the 4400 taels of silver bills into his pocket, and signaled Shuan Zhu to find something to eat by himself, and he was going to blow on the lamp to sleep.

"Okay, young master!"

Shuan Zhu went out happily, walked halfway, looked left and right like a thief, and after confirming that no one was there, he dodged and hid in the stable, squatted down, picked up his trouser legs, and took the 1000 taels of silver tied on his knees. He took off the ticket and held it in his hand like a treasure, and took a strong sniff under the moonlight.

The taste is really fragrant.

Master, I predicted your prediction, didn't you expect it!

Shuan Zhu stood up happily and combined the thousand taels bank note with the 200 taels bank note just now, carefully wrapped it in a handkerchief, and handed it over to Qiu Tao for safekeeping after returning to Baoding.

Without thinking, he turned around, only to find that the young master and Bao Zhu were lying on the horse rail and looking at him quietly.

"You six!"

Jia Liu shook his head, sighed lightly, and silently went back to sleep with his hands behind his hands.

At this moment, he finally understood why the people around leading cadres were the group most prone to problems.

But knowing that people around him are prone to problems, he just can't solve them.

Because of the limitations of the times.

If you really want to investigate this matter, you must pull out Wang Fu and his gang for criticism. The question is, can he, the leader, do this?
The basis for the establishment of the Gongjin Association is to make progress together.

Back then, his definition of progress was power and money.

This organization is essentially a corrupt organization, but it is more advanced than the Qing Dynasty, so it is a historical inevitability to replace the Qing Dynasty.

But what about after?

That night, Jia Liu sat in front of the window on the third floor of the station, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and kept smoking a dry pipe, his mind was full of big chapters about the fate of the country.

In the end, he concluded that his mission is to lead China to become the first great power, so that everyone has food to eat, meat to eat, money to spend, the right to speak, and the freedom to go wherever they want. Other things Corruption issues and class solidification issues are actually false propositions for him.

Because, even if he lives two hundred years old, he can't solve it. At most, he can cure the substandard and relieve it in the short term.

It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, let it go.

No one can solve the problem, how should he solve it.

Human nature is selfish.

What's more, he is still eight thousand miles away from stealing the Qing regime, let alone allowing China to enter industrialization ahead of schedule.

Without industrialization, China is still a mess, and it will take two to 300 years to get on the right track.

But for Shuan Zhu, he still had to beat him, so he ignored him for the next two days, even if the kid handed over all 200 taels.

Finally, Tianjin, the last stop of this trip, arrived.

However, he did not go directly to Tianjin City, but arrived at the Zhili Military Industrial Park under the leadership of his second brother-in-law Gao Delu who came to greet him.

Since Jia Liu required that the construction of the industrial park should be matched with the development of Tianjin Port, the industrial park was chosen at the estuary of the Haihe River. Most of the land here is saline-alkali wasteland, so the interests of the people will not be violated during the expropriation process.

The planned industrial park not only has weapons production plants, but also iron and steel mines, as well as many factories that produce civilian facilities, covering an area of ​​several square kilometers.

It is not only necessary to build a direct road leading to Tianjin, but also to build a road leading to the port. There are also various supporting facilities in the park. It can be said that it is a construction process from scratch.

The project actually started last year, and a large dormitory area and expert building have been repaired.

The dormitory area is for the living and accommodation of the workers in the park, and the expert building is for the foreign monks and artisans packed and hired from the capital to live.

Due to limited conditions, at present, except for some buildings which are made of bricks and tiles, others are all wooden buildings.

Large and small construction sites are in full swing, and the largest construction site must be the Zhili Iron and Steel Plant.

Both Ming and Qing dynasties had iron and steel production, especially in the Ming Dynasty, which had the most advanced steel manufacturing technology. There were many steel factories in the country, and the steel output also ranked first in the world.

In the Qing Dynasty, the production of iron and steel decreased year by year. One reason was that the Qing government restricted firearms and did not need too much steel to cast cannons and guns. Even so, the Manufacturing Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also had relevant files on iron production over the years.

Last year, that is, the 40th year of Qianlong, the national steel output was about 40 million catties, which is about [-] tons in tons.

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, it was about 4.5 tons.

That is, after 100 years, the steel output in the Qing Dynasty did not increase but decreased compared with the previous Ming Dynasty.

If Jia Liu wants to develop industries in Zhili, steel is the foundation, and it is also the foundation of the military industry.

To make guns and cannons, you have to use steel.

It's just that steelmaking was done in workshops before, that is, the small earthen furnace with bellows, but this time he gave the idea of ​​blast furnace steelmaking, and it was large-scale and standardized.

There was no shortage of skilled craftsmen in the Qianlong Dynasty, but what was lacking was financial support and ideological support.

Jia Liu gave money and ideas, and let the craftsmen to develop it, and with the help of the Western monks, except for the steam engine, which can't be produced for the time being, other achievements of Western industrialization can actually be produced.

The second brother-in-law, a craftsman surnamed Qin invited from Gaojin, the building office of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, combined with Mr. Jia Jia's ideas, successfully built the first blast furnace, and successfully smelted molten iron that met the standard.

Therefore, Jia Liu came here this time to watch the results of blast furnace steelmaking on the spot, so as to prevent the second brother-in-law from reporting false accounts to him like a bureaucrat, bragging and claiming credit.
