Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 477 Yunzhou Money Shop
Yang Kai appeared, and he handed a list to Zhou Qing. This is today's nomination certificate, a total of 43. Sorry, there is only one left for class A, and five for class B. Others are unwilling to accept You choose your own certificate for class C voting, and I don't interfere. Once you choose, you can't change it.

Zhou Qing stared coldly at the first-class task of submitting the certificate, and after looking at it for a long time, he nodded without hesitation, "I will take this task."

"Are you sure, no one dares to take this task, it requires high martial arts skills."

Zhou Qing said coldly: "Jingdong Luxiang Army, no one dares to compete with me. Forbidden Army Linghu Jin's military rank is higher than mine, but his martial arts skills are not as good as mine!"

Yang Kai stared at him coldly and said, "I say it's not martial arts, it's courage!"

Zhou Qing smiled miserably, "I'm not even afraid of death, what else should I be afraid of?"

Yang Kai nodded, "If it succeeds, I will recommend you as a general, or reward you with 10 taels of gold."

"Let's talk about it after I succeed!"

Zhou Qing got up and left. Yang Kai watched his back, and said to Wang Que who was listening in the back room: "You are responsible for keeping an eye on him, and you are responsible for killing him once his task is completed. Don't miss it!"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Wang Que saluted and went out, Yang Kai walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said to himself, "The victory or defeat is determined by one move."

At this time, the reform of Jingdong Road also reached the third ring road, and the general army system was established. The army of the Song Dynasty was characterized by the separation of combat and peacetime training. San reorganized, and the generals such as Ruling and Ruling in the army were reappointed, and the coach was also a civilian.

Although doing so can prevent the separatism of feudal vassals and towns in various places, the consequences are also very serious, resulting in generals not knowing soldiers, soldiers not knowing generals, and fighting into chaos.

The art of war is to combine normal training and fighting into one, and the same is true for the soldiers and generals who are trained in normal times, that is to say, let a commander command the same army for a long time.

Of course, in order to prevent the army from becoming the personal army of the general, the commander also has a term of office. Fan Ning advocates a term of five years.

The art of war is actually one of the contents of Wang Anshi's reform, but Fan Ning piloted it in advance.

The art of war is mainly aimed at the forbidden army. The Xiang army uses regions as camps. In fact, they have been separated. In the camp, it is usually chaotic, and it is also chaotic during wars.

Therefore, Fan Ning's implementation of the general's art of war in the Jingdong Luxiang Army actually did not change much, changing the soup without changing the medicine, just changing the name, mainly to set a benchmark for the reform of the Forbidden Army in the future.

This step of reform is very simple, but it is more difficult to promote the separate system of personnel and salary implemented together with the Art of War.

The separate system of salary and salary is a key point of this reform. It was specifically requested by the emperor Zhao Zhen to implement it. Zhao Zhen was very interested in this plan.

The key to the separation of salary and salary system is the fixed number of shops and personnel. First, choose the supporting money shop. Zhao Zhongzhen chose Zhu’s money shop. The emperor Zhao Zhen also specially approved this, which can be regarded as a solution to Fan Ning’s worries in the future, preventing someone from taking money. In this case, Fanning used power for personal gain.

Another key to the separation of salaries is the number of personnel. It can only be implemented after the garrison and number of military camps have stabilized. With the completion of the reduction of overage soldiers, the original nine military camps have been reduced to six, located in Yingtianfu and Guizhou respectively. In Defu, Xuzhou, Yunzhou, Qingzhou, and Laizhou, there are 5000 people in Yingtianfu, and 3000 people in the other five places.

In addition, the review of the generals has also been completed, everything is in place, the only thing that is missing is the wind, and the reform of the separation of salaries has also begun to enter the substantive implementation stage.

Yunzhou is also a large state on Jingdong Road. At noon that day, Fan Ning arrived at Yunxian County with a dozen of his entourage. Yunxian County belongs to Shangxian County. There are 2 households in the city with a population of about [-]. The county seat is also quite prosperous. The main road is called Shanglin Street, which is about eight miles long from south to north. There are many shops along the street, large and small, all kinds of signboards are dizzying. There was an endless stream of carts and donkey carts.

"Master, that's where it is!" Zhu Hu pointed to a large building in front of him. He had been to Yunzhou before and knew where the newly established money shop was.

Fan Ning nodded, looked at it from a distance, and found that this money shop occupies a large area, covering as much as five or six acres, and it looks like a small temple.

Walking to the front of the shop, I saw a huge gold-lettered signboard hanging above the shop: Zhu's money shop, with three small characters below, Yunzhou shop. This word was written by the emperor Zhao Zhen. The inscription by Zhu's money shop, and the three characters of Yunzhou store were also inscribed by Zhao Zhen not long ago, which also expressed Zhao Zhen's support for the separation of salary and salary.

This is the first store in Yunzhou whose name was inscribed by the emperor, and it caused a sensation in Yunxian County. There is also a money store opposite it, Yunzhou Money Store. His store name was only inscribed by the former magistrate. Compared with it, it looks very shabby up.

However, Zhu’s shop seems to have not opened yet. At the door, more than a dozen craftsmen are installing the Huanlou. Fan Ning got off his horse, and the shopkeeper at the door smiled and said: "Mr. The small shop sweeps the couch to welcome you."

Fan Ning was about to open his mouth to ask, but he saw Liu Da, the shopkeeper in the capital, just coming out of the store. When he saw Fan Ning, he was surprised and delighted, "The proprietor is here!"

When the shopkeeper heard the word proprietor, he was shocked. He knew who this person was. He hurriedly bowed to salute Mr. Yingtian Zhifu and comfort envoy, "I don't know, my proprietor, please forgive me!"

Fan Ning nodded with a smile, "Please ask the shopkeeper to arrange for my subordinates to rest and eat."

"I'll make arrangements!"

The shopkeeper hurriedly called Zhu Hu and others to rest and eat in the backyard, while Manager Liu invited Fan Ning into the shop.

Fan Ning took a look. Like the capital city, he entered a lobby with benches for rest on both sides, and a row of long counters directly opposite. The lobby is very spacious and bright. The cabinets and other items have been installed, and various wooden bars and other facilities are also installed. It has been set up, and more than a dozen accountants are sitting at the table busy registering thick account books.

The reason why Fan Ning came to Yunzhou was because Yingtianfu and Yunzhou took the lead in implementing money shop distribution next month. The trial period was three months. After three months, other prefectures will fully implement it. The main reason is that money shops need Time to set up shop.

"Already have contact with the barracks?" Fan Ning asked with a smile.

"The military barracks household Cao Li sent the list of personnel the day before yesterday. We have checked it with the list sent by Ying Tianfu before. The list is exactly the same. From today onwards, we will create accounts for every soldier and general."

Fan Ning stood aside and looked at it. It is very simple to set up an account. Each soldier has one page, with the soldier's name and hometown written on the top, and his account number on the side. Fan Ning saw that the first number is Yun Jun Zero One. No. Zhang Gui, Dong'e County, Yunzhou.

Zhang Gui is the commander of the Xiang Army in Yunzhou, so he is naturally number one.

Manager Liu explained next to him: "Our big customers who deposit more than [-] guan are usually Yun Jia's number, those who deposit [-] to [-] guan are Yun Yi's number, and those who save [-] to [-] guan are Yun Yi's number. Yun Bing, but the army is quite special, so the number is Yun Jun, and if a soldier continues to save money with us after retiring, we will change him to an ordinary guest."

Fan Ning knew that this was the account number, and he asked again: "Will you give me a brand name?"

"There is a sign, a bronze medal for each person, and the name and account number are engraved on the bronze medal. In addition, each soldier will have a password, which can be changed by himself, and the money will be withdrawn with the bronze medal and password in the future. In addition, the commander and the commander The badge is silver."

Fan Ning said with a smile: "In the future, the appeasement envoy will transfer the money directly to the main store of Yingtianfu, and then the main store will notify the branches in the following states. There should be no problem in this process!"

"No problem. I have already negotiated with Deputy Envoy Lu and Hu Cao Canjun. In addition, if there is an emergency, we can advance two months of military pay at most."

Fan Ning went to the back hall to sit down again, and the tea boy served him tea. He took a sip of the tea and asked, "What's the biggest problem you've encountered while opening stores in various places?"

"Of course it's understaffed!"

Manager Liu smiled wryly and said: "Before we opened a branch in the capital, we had to prepare for at least a year, appoint the shopkeeper, recruit accountants, and then conduct training. Recruiting is difficult, and we usually send out the shopkeepers and deputy shopkeepers, and the assistants are recruited locally, and there are 20 people in each store, including the principal and deputy shopkeepers."

"Like the Yunzhou store, you have only been preparing for it for a month, and you have already completed it. The progress is quite fast!"

"The shopkeeper of this shop is an old accountant in our capital city. He has worked in the Zhu's money shop in the capital city for ten years, and he can be trusted. Then he recruited a deputy shopkeeper locally. As for the accountant's clerk, to tell the owner, he is We dug them from various local money shops in Yunzhou. The local monthly salary is four guan, and we pay six guan, and we also take care of a lunch, so the manpower will be filled quickly. Other places plan to do the same, although it is easy. Offending people, but there is no other way."

"How about the rent?" Fanning asked again with a smile.

"Of course the rent can't be compared with the capital, and it's even much cheaper than Yingtian Mansion. Like this big six-acre store, the monthly rent is [-] guan in the capital, and [-] guan in Yingtian Valley, but here it's only [-] guan per month. It’s pretty much the same everywhere else. Xuzhou is a little more expensive, but it’s only twenty guan.”

Fanning nodded, "Can other state capitals open on time?"

"Basically, there is no problem. The four shops have been rented, and the shopkeepers and deputy shopkeepers are all in place. Then, the accountants in Laizhou will be recruited in a few days. Next, Ying Tianfu will train for two months and open on time in three months. "

"What about risk prevention?" This is also a question that Fanning is very concerned about.

"Please rest assured, the proprietor. Zhu's money shop has been established for almost 40 years. So far, there has not been a single risk problem. Our management is very strict. For example, each store will not deposit too much money. If there is a large amount of money withdrawn, An appointment must be made five days in advance. We will send the money from Yingtian’s treasury. In addition, the people who manage the accounts and the money are separated. In addition, we have an inspection team that takes turns to audit the accounts of each branch. Check it out."

"Okay! I'll go to the barracks in the afternoon, and I'll come back to find out the situation when the first salary is paid at the beginning of the month."
