The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 107 Li Tinghui allocates the guard money to the Garrison without a penny!

"Wang Ganban, Shiping Pass is remote, and there is nothing to sell, so I can only bring you some local products, so that you can occasionally miss us at Shiping Pass when you return to Wazhou City." A member of the acceptance team There is no embarrassment in people. Before leaving, Song Yingkui loaded them with special products such as bean curd sticks and bian eggs in the carriage. He still had to talk about the common sense of the world when working as an official.

"Thank you Song Shoubing for the gift. I heard from Brother Jiang that the bean curd sticks from Wuying are the first made by your Song family, and they are the most authentic. This year, they are rare. I haven't seen bean curd sticks from Wuying in the world for a long time. The bean curd sticks on the street The bean curd sticks are all imitated from other places, and the taste is still not good. This time, bringing so much home will be a real treat." The surnamed Wang did not refuse, and praised the authenticity of the Song family's bean curd sticks.Even though it is a local product, it is worth some money if it is packed too much, which is not considered light etiquette in this era.

They are here to inspect the work, so it is not appropriate to send money directly, and there is suspicion of bribing the acceptance personnel.

"Taste some first, and if you think it suits your taste, I will bring some to Ganban next time I go to the city to visit my uncle."

A few years ago, Song Yingkui didn't think that the officials of the sixth and seventh ranks were nothing. After dealing with the government more in the past two years, he realized that the strength of the sixth and seventh ranks in the province was quite large.Many specific affairs are handled by these six or seven officials.For example, the second uncle, obviously a sixth-rank official, hugged the thigh of the governor's yamen, and even the second-in-command governor in the province didn't pay much attention to him.Therefore, for a sixth-rank officer like Wang, if he can move around, it is best to move around a little more, and giving a small gift may be of great use at critical times.

"Song Shoubei, before I leave, I will give you a few more words. You must make up the rest of the iron courses specially collected by the governor's office as soon as possible. The frontline military is tense and consumes a lot of iron. The iron courses on your side If you hand it in in time, brother Jiang will have face, and even Lord Overseer will know, maybe you will have a chance."

Chance?It's better to talk about this later.Song Yingkui let out a haha, and sent the acceptance team away.Now he is not interested in developing in Dazheng's officialdom.As a small garrison officer, it feels like being squeezed. If you become a big officer, you will probably be squeezed even more.This kind of business of losing money and making money, whoever wants to do it, let's not show off the limelight, let's hide on the three-acre land in Shiping and make a fortune silently.

From mid-July to early August, it is the season for harvesting summer grain in Wuying Town.The rain this year is good, not as dry as last year, and there is grain to be harvested in the dry fields.The soybeans that were rationed earlier, many people have already received them in the warehouse.It was precisely because the soybeans had been harvested that the Song family's yuba business resumed. Earlier, there were no yuba to give away casually.

The suspension of production for nearly a year has had a great impact on the Song family's reputation as a bean curd stick. People who make bean curd sticks from other places have taken advantage of the loopholes to seize market share. Now we must hurry up to regain the lost market.

According to Song Yingkui's observation, there are more soybeans in Wuying Town this year, and soybeans can be seen in many mountainous areas. This shows that due to the drive of yuba, the villagers have already regarded it as a major economic crop.If the yuba market recovers smoothly, it will be a good thing for nearby farmers.

In addition to soybeans, another crop that Song Yingkui is more concerned about is potatoes. This year, Wuying Town has also begun to plant them in Kaili.According to a rough observation, there should be three or four hundred acres of potatoes planted in the town this year.

Three or four hundred acres of potatoes is not too much, and it cannot be said that they are fully popularized.But last year, only the Song family and a few acquainted neighbors planted this kind of thing. Compared with last year, this year's scale has expanded by about ten times.

The reason for the rapid expansion of potato planting in Wuying was mainly because during the famine last year, the Song family took out a lot of potatoes to save everyone's lives.Last year, it was not only the potatoes from the Song family that saved the lives of the villagers, but also a lot of the potatoes planted at the mouth of the Xingyue Gorge on the edge of Yuyuan City, which flowed to Wuying. This thing can fool the stomach when food is in short supply. .

People in Wuying who were saved by potatoes planted some potatoes this year just in case.They also know a thing or two about the Song family making vermicelli with potatoes. Even if they don't need potatoes this year, they can still sell them to the Song family.In addition to Wuying Town, I heard that the potato planting area in Yuyuan County has also expanded a lot.Some time ago, the Guo family sent people over to discuss the matter of harvesting potatoes to be ground into powder and selling them to the Song family this winter.

Originally, the industry of making potato flour and vermicelli was Song Yingkui's idea of ​​making a living for his third uncle, but now that his third uncle is also an official, the Guo family disagreed with this job.We can only let the second uncle take full responsibility for all the industrial affairs of the Song family, and also take care of the vermicelli business.

After the third uncle became the eighth-rank deputy guard, the Guo family valued him even more, and even gave him a small yard in Yuyuan County, which was like offering this son-in-law as a treasure.I heard from the third uncle that the Guo family still pays the third aunt every month?Is this still the water thrown by the married girl?

We are all on guard from the seventh rank, and no one is on the pole to send money to the house. The third uncle only serves as a deputy guard, and enjoys such a good treatment. Compared with others, it is really infuriating.

When the grain harvest season came, there was another big thing for the Shipingguan Garrison, which was to get the servant's silver soon, and to be able to receive the salary from the Dazheng government in a serious manner.

Although the total amount of money for the guards is less than 1000 taels, which is not a big part of the expenditure of the Garrison, but mosquito meat can be considered meat, let alone the money is considered a lot of money, Song Yingkui has to pay attention to it.

"Ting Wei, where is my official coming today, mainly to discuss the regulations on the collection of envoys' silver." The envoys' silver garrison cannot be collected directly, it has to go through the hands of Wuying Liting.Song Yingkui approached Han Yuhong, planning to discuss the expropriation plan first.

"Regulations? The collection of guard money has long been customized, so we can just follow the system? Don't worry about guarding. This year, Liting will allocate a lot of money to the Garrison. For the establishment of a gate and fortification, Liting and The old man didn’t do his best, so would it make sense if he was short of the guard’s money?” Han Yuhong thought that Song Yingkui came to the door because he was afraid that he would get stuck, and if he was short of the money that should have been allocated to the garrison, he quickly promised it!
People's hearts are fleshy, and Shiping Guan was established. Song Yingkui didn't do anything to raid the village, and the villagers knew it.Now that the current situation is unstable, everyone can more or less hear some rumors. If there is more fuss about the guards, the garrison at Shiping Pass will not have much friendship with Wuying Town and Township.If something really happens, what should I do if I don't work hard?The gentry represented by Han Yuhong can still figure out the priorities.Shiping Pass is very prosperous now, and it is the only available soldier that Wuying Town can count on. Under the current situation, some things cannot be overdone.
