Water Margin farming to become powerful

Deng Fei crossed the Xiaonan River shortly after crossing the border between Song and Liao, and then entered the territory of Baoding Army not long after going all the way south.

Large armies such as the Baoding Army and the Guangji Army belonged to the military state system, but in the Song Dynasty, the military states were also divided into different sizes.

The Guangji Army is a Dajun Prefecture, and its status is equivalent to a prefecture, while the administrative level of the Baoding Army is equivalent to a county. Even now, it has withdrawn its post as a military envoy of the Baoding Army. This military prefecture is now under the jurisdiction of the magistrate of the Baoding Army .

Originally, Deng Fei received the news that there would be people from the supervisory committee staying in the wild forest outside the city gate of Baoding Army, so after crossing the Xiaonan River, he passed two days, and calculated the exact time on the next day. Arrive at Baoding Army safely before dusk.

It was very useful for the supervisor to give him an ID card, and he was not embarrassed by anyone along the way. Occasionally, he was interrogated and he could pass with some money.

On the contrary, Deng Fei observed a strange thing, that is, more than half of the travel expenses prepared for him by the supervisory committee were bank notes from the managerial committee.

Originally, Deng Fei was afraid that using these silver bills in places far away from Shandong would not be able to get out, but when he bribed those soldiers on the road, Deng Fei found that those soldiers preferred to accept this kind of supervisory committee rather than making money. Banknotes.

The reason seems to be that this kind of treasure banknotes is more convenient to carry, and at the same time, it seems that the credit is quite guaranteed. Compared with the local money that may depreciate, such treasure banknotes may seem to be more reliable.

As for why they recognized these banknotes, Deng Fei was quite curious, so he boldly invited a native soldier to have dinner with him when he was resting at the station. Their military pay is actually paid by this kind of treasure.

At this time, Deng Fei vaguely recalled that in the promotional materials sent by the Supervisory Committee to the Kingdom of Jin, it was said that the Supervisory Committee had undertaken the transportation business of the northern military pay of the Song Dynasty for a period of time, and at that time it was boasted as Sun Xin's political achievements.

It does make sense when you think about it. If you want to transport a lot of money weighing several thousand catties to every county on the desolate border between Song and Liao, the manpower required is far more than sending a few flimsy banknotes. As long as the value of Baochao can be stabilized, it is definitely more convenient and cost-effective to trade with banknotes to stabilize the border.

In fact, this is also a good thing for soldiers, and it is convenient for soldiers to carry these banknotes home when they go home.

Even if they really want to buy something, anyway, there is no good trade market at the border where they are located, and they still have to take the money to the big city where the border is located to buy. It can be sent to the big cities at the border.

Deng Fei is also doing business in the north, and he has a very clear grasp of the business experience. He knows that this way of coming and going can save a lot of transportation costs.

It was also for this purpose that Song Dynasty wanted to issue Baochao at the border. However, the transportation capacity of Dasong was limited. How could it be compared with Shandong's Baochao, which had so much productivity as support, so it became a waste of money in the end when the Baochao was issued? A pile of waste paper, and in the end it was up to the Supervisory Board Bank to make it happen again.

The only thing that makes Deng Fei a little suspicious is that with the hostility of the Dasong River Supervisory Committee, it is obvious that this business can no longer be done now, and the supervisory committee reports sent to Jin and Liao have mentioned the Bank of Supervisors for a long time. According to the style of the supervisory committee's propaganda, this achievement clearly means that this matter has become dirty.

But when Deng Fei asked these soldiers to drink a few bottles of shochu, he was even more surprised to learn that the food and salaries of these soldiers were actually using precious banknotes.

Deng Fei was quite surprised, and quickly asked these soldiers why, but these low-level soldiers couldn't explain clearly at all. Deng Fei found that they really didn't know, so he didn't continue to ask.

At that time, he also drank a little too much. When the concubine helped him back to the room and slept for a while, he almost woke up in the afternoon. Deng Fei's mind turned and he suddenly realized.

"The court of the Great Song Dynasty must have severed its connection with the Supervisory Committee, but the officers under the Great Song Dynasty may not be sure."

Using the treasure notes of the Supervisory Committee to pay food and salaries can greatly save a lot of expenses, and the local soldiers are willing to accept it. Since the Song Dynasty court does not care about this money, the entire official system of the Song Dynasty will naturally take the initiative to help them. Province.

And looking at how these officers and soldiers accepted the treasure notes, Deng Fei felt that changing to ordinary officers and soldiers to issue treasure notes was not only not a bad thing in the eyes of the soldiers, it might even be a virtuous policy of the superiors.

Deng Fei had been active in Yinmachuan on the border between Song and Liao before, but he knew how greedy these civil and military officials of the Song Dynasty were.

After a little calculation, Deng Fei took a deep breath.

With such a big plate, I am afraid that the transfer histories of these military states and the top and bottom officials have already earned a lot of money, and they need to use so much money, and the Supervisory Committee can still supply it. It is even more a miracle.

Deng Fei was both happy and surprised. He didn't expect that the power of the Bank of Supervisors had penetrated so deep into the northern border of the Song Dynasty.

This place is at the junction of the two countries, and the political meaning is very strong. Baochao of the Bank of the Supervisory Committee can pass through here unimpeded, which is almost an impossible task in his mind.

Thinking about it again, originally Deng Fei thought that what he did in the Kingdom of Jin was considered capable enough, but now look at the feats that his fellow comrade-in-arms, the Bank of the Supervisory Board, has done quietly... No wonder it takes two days As expected, the group of guys at the bank gate can do something.

While thinking about these things, Deng Fei's carriage slowly stopped in the wild forest where he could overlook the city wall of Baoding Army.

There was no one around, Deng Fei frowned slightly, pricked up his ears, and listened carefully to the surrounding situation.

Deng Fei was born as a horse bandit for many years. Although he has worked for the supervisory committee now, he has not lost his ability to travel across the country for a long time.

Originally, he didn't need to be so careful when he came alone. With his own ability, even if he fell into the wild mountains, few people could catch him, but after all, he brought his family this time, and the young man The concubine was also relieved of her Deng family's plant, so Deng Fei had to be extra careful.

After confirming that there was no one around, Deng Fei arrived, probably because the staff of the supervisory committee hadn’t arrived yet, according to the agreement, he just waited honestly, but after thinking about it, Deng Fei was still worried. Seeing that there was no one around, he said that the car stopped in the forest. In the middle, he told his little concubine in Khitan dialect to tell her to stay in the car and not come out casually.

The concubine rolled her tongue and said in Chinese: "The concubine knows it, and the husband is careful." After Deng Fei nodded, he took the improved Dengzhou-style pistol that the supervisory board would equip these senior cadres, and jumped out of the car .
