Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 82
"My nephew is clever, with the Military Law Department, we can prevent some people from abusing their power and attacking those who disagree with me once they have power." Shen Zheng smiled.

"It's still too early. We will set up some supervision departments in the future, but we don't need them for the time being." Li Jing said with a smile.

After a pause, Li Jing continued: "The combat system is basically like this. Now let's talk about the rewards of soldiers. In order to improve the morale of soldiers, soldiers who have made meritorious service in combat should not only increase their ranks, but also have more material rewards." I am going to do this: our soldiers will be rewarded with one mu of land for every enemy soldier they kill or capture, and five taels of silver for no land or no land. Regarding the improvement of the status of soldiers, I am going to reward those who come to us to serve as soldiers There are some benefits and privileges. For example, these people do business in our territory and are exempted from half of the tax. If there is anything illegal, except for felonies such as murder, arson, robbery and robbery, all crimes will be reduced. . I just want to say It roughly means that some things have not been fully considered, and many details still need to be discussed slowly, now let me talk about your views."

"This method is good. First of all, people are willing to serve as soldiers, and they can fight bravely after serving as soldiers. However, is it appropriate for us to implement this system now?" Ma Wu said after thinking for a while.

"I don't think it matters. Everything depends on strength. Let's develop slowly. Then everything will come naturally. The key is to fix this system now!" Gao Qi said.

"Since everyone has no objection, let's pull up the framework first." Li Jing said with a smile: "Hehe, after finishing the business, is there anyone who is not tired and has a drink with me?"

"Hey, my old grandson is indispensable for this." Sun Meng said happily.

"It's what you want." Gao Qi said.

"Fuck you, after studying for two days, you're still hooked! You can understand the sentence." Sun Meng scolded.

"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.

After laughing, Gao Qi got up and went out to order someone to arrange food and drinks.

After a while, the food and wine were served, and everyone chatted while drinking, completing the details of everything that Li Jing had decided.

. .

Everyone was in high spirits when Li Jing suddenly remembered something.

So he got up and said, "Sit down a bit, I'll go get something."

Everyone didn't understand what it meant, and they were puzzled in their hearts.

Li Jing ignored him, got up and went to the bedroom, and soon came out with a small box.

Putting the small box on the table lightly, Li Jing said with a smile: "Uncle, I did a rough calculation the day before yesterday, and we have spent more than one hundred thousand taels of silver in the past few months. Although your family has a big business, it is a waste to always sit and eat like this." No. There is something in this box, take a look and see how much it is worth."

Shen Zheng nodded, wondering what valuable things Li Jing could come up with.

Shen Zheng was full of doubts, and opened the box casually.

As the box was opened, the room was instantly filled with brilliance.

"Ah!" Everyone was shocked.

"This... so many treasures, where did you come from?" Shen Zheng asked in surprise with trembling hands.

"Hey, I brought them out at Xu's house two days ago. Uncle, how much do you think these are worth?" Li Jing said with a smile.

Shen Zheng shook his head, and took out all kinds of rare stones from the box one by one, and looked at each one carefully for a while.After looking at it for a long time, I put the gems into the box and closed the lid.

After a while, Shen Zheng sighed and said: "Everything in this box is a rare treasure. If it is exchanged for cash, I estimate that it can be worth at least 30 taels of silver, maybe more!"

"Ah? So valuable?" Ma Wu and the others were shocked.

Shen Zheng nodded and said: "I'm still underestimating. Well... The Xu family has collected many treasures, and they think they are going to Beijing to send to the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian. My nephew took the sheep by hand. This sheep is good, this one Let's get rich."

Li Jing shook his head, smiled and handed the box to Shen Zheng: "Uncle, you take the box, find a chance to sell it, and let's collect food for money."

Shen Zheng looked at Li Jing intently, and after a while, slowly put away the box.

. .

The 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

Chen Dahu got married.

Under Shen Zheng's arrangement, the marriage was handled very well.

This makes many brothers who have not yet married are very envious.

Li Jing is the leader of the cottage, and Chen Dahu must toast to him during the banquet.

After Chen Dahu finished his toast, many brothers also joined in the toast.

Li Jing knew that since the ban on alcohol was issued on the mountain, the brothers drank very little, and he seldom drank with everyone. Today is Chen Dahu's day of great joy, so he let everyone drink freely, so someone For a toast, Li Jing never refuses anyone who comes.

Seeing Li Jing drink the wine bowl by bowl, Liu Erlen and others were shocked.

He said in his heart: "It turns out that the big boss drinks a lot."

Seeing the brothers coming one by one with the wine bowls, Shen Zheng winked at Gao Qi, Gao Qi understood, stood up with the wine bowls and said loudly: "Brothers, today is the big day for Big Tiger brother , the brothers always stare at the big brother to toast, isn't that not giving brother big tiger face? How about this, let's toast big brother a bowl of wine together, and then let's go find Chen big tiger and see if he can find him after getting him drunk. Bridal chamber."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter.

After everyone toasted Li Jing with a bowl of wine, they stopped entanglement and started drinking with Chen Dahu.

Shaking his head, Li Jing pointed at the backs of everyone and said with a smile: "These brats want to take revenge on me today and get me drunk."

"Brother, drink a cup of tea." Zhang Ao poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Li Jing.

Li Jing took it and drank it down. Seeing that Zhang Ao was going to pour again, Li Jing waved his hand and said, "Happy today, let's have a drink! Zhang Ao, it's rare for you to come across such an opportunity when you're new to the mountain. Let's offer a cup to all brothers later." .”

Zhang Ao nodded.

For Li Jing, Zhang Ao was very grateful and in awe.

In order to let the brothers notice Zhang Ao, Li Jing specially called Zhang Ao to his table.

Apart from Chen Dahu's father-in-law, there were only Shen Zheng, Ma Wu, Gao Qi, Sun Meng, and Old Man Chen at this table, all of whom were prominent figures on the mountain.

Even Liu Erlen wanted to come over to have fun, but was kicked out by Li Jing.

Zhang Ao knew that he was not qualified to sit at the same table with Li Jing, Li Jing used this method to let everyone remember him as a person.

After a while, Zhang Ao saw all the brothers came back after toasting Chen Dahu, and said to Li Jing, "Brother, I'm going to toast the brothers."

Li Jing smiled and nodded.

When Zhang Ao went out to toast, Li Jing looked at Shen Zheng with a smile and said, "Uncle, how is this man? Is it easy to use these two days?"

Shen Zheng nodded with a smile and said, "It's not bad. I work very hard, but I don't have much experience. I guess it will be fine after a while."

"Yeah, this person used to only know how to read, but later his family fell into ruin, and he spent his days relying on coaxing others. It will take a while to get up on the mountain. Uncle, if you teach him more, he will be able to relax in the future. "Li Jing said.

Shen Zheng knew that it was not easy for a scholar like Zhang Ao to go up to the mountains and become a bandit, so Li Jing valued Zhang Ao so much.

After two days of brief contact, Shen Zheng discovered that Zhang Ao's abilities were indeed good, and he was much better than Shen Jixian in many aspects, especially his ability to understand.

Shen Zheng only needed to dial a few words to Zhang Ao to understand many things.

This is the difference between those who have read the book and those who have not.

You must know that Mr. Shen Ji was born in a merchant's family. Although he was a concubine, he has received the education of merchants who are careful and careful since he was a child, and he is required to make no mistakes when writing accounts.

But Zhang Ao has never been exposed to such things. Scholars in this era look down on businessmen, and they are even more dismissive of things like accounts.

But Shen Zheng discovered that Zhang Ao also remembered everything he handled clearly.

Even questioned some unclear things.

For example, this time when Chen Dahu got married, Shen Zheng arranged for more than a dozen people to go down the mountain to buy supplies. After returning, the money did not match the account, and Zhang Aodang even raised questions about the shortfall.

At that time, Shen Zheng smiled and said to Zhang Ao, these ten or so brothers are out shopping for supplies, don't they eat or drink?

It is inevitable that there will be some expenses for those who go out to buy.

At this time, there are no bills, and the purchaser can only make a list by himself.If these purchasers were literate, they would naturally write down their expenses and reimburse them, but they are illiterate, how should they write?Can only report verbally.

Those who keep the books know where their money is spent, they just have to keep it in the books.

But it is like this every time, and the bookkeeper is used to it, so he no longer asks about such expenditures, and records it according to what the buyer said every time.

Only then did Zhang Ao realize that the money that was missing was for the food and drink of the purchasers.

This is why Shen Zheng said that Zhang Ao has no experience.

After listening to Shen Zheng's narration, Li Jing smiled and nodded.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing continued: "Uncle, Zhang Ao is very careful in his work, and try to entrust him with matters related to people's livelihood, as long as you grasp the general direction, so you don't have to work so hard."

Shen Zheng smiled and said, "You know I'm tired, so toast me with a glass of wine."

Li Jing picked up his wine glass and said, "Well, I'll toast my uncle."

Shen Zheng smiled and waved his hands.

Seeing that Shen Zheng didn't drink, Li Jing felt a little strange.

When Ma Wu saw him, he smiled inwardly, leaned over and said in a low voice, "Brother, I'm afraid Uncle Shen is reminding you? It's not this wine that he wants you to toast."

"What kind of wine is that?" Li Jingqi asked.

"Hehe, big brother, what day is it today?" Ma Wu said with a smile.

Li Jing scratched his head and said casually, "Isn't it the day when Duhu got married?"

"Yeah, it's the day when Dahu got married. Dahu got married. He just came over to toast. This time, he didn't respect you first. He first respected his father Taishan." Ma Wu said with a smile.

Li Jing suddenly realized.

It turned out that Shen Zheng was implying that he should find someone to propose marriage to the Shen family.

Li Jing looked at everyone present, finally set his eyes on Old Man Chen, thought for a while, and shook his head slightly.

After a while, Li Jing gently picked up the wine glass, and raised it to Shen Zheng: "Uncle, don't worry, Li Jing will definitely not disappoint you."

After all, he drank the wine in one gulp.

　During the recommendation period, there will be two changes a day, at [-]:[-] am and [-]:[-] noon respectively. If the grades are good, there will be more changes!
