Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 135 The Reputation of the Private Army

Jin Yang then said to Brother Su: "It's late July now, and the crops in several countries in the North are growing well because of the good weather. As for agriculture, I don't need to worry about it this year. What I want to care about is the pastoralists in the three countries. There is no war now. If the country’s army is dispersed to the pastoral areas to build livestock sheds for the herdsmen, the herdsmen will start storing forage for the winter in August, and they will be able to store a lot in just over a month. Do you think When cattle and sheep suffer white disasters, will they suffer too much loss if they have sheds and pastures?"

Brother Su thought about it for a while, and immediately agreed. This is a national policy of concentrating on big things.Right now the border is peaceful, and the soldiers have nothing to do except for daily training. It would be great if they could help the herdsmen.

The next day, the couple rushed back to the Blue Wolf Country and told Uncle Wolf Lord about these good strategies for the rich country.Brother Su obeyed Jin Hao's instructions, and lied that these good policies for governing the country were obtained from the Great Yan Kingdom.Helping an enemy country get rich is not a small crime. If it is confirmed, it will not be as simple as hitting the board and fined money.

The planned salt field is just three miles south of Yawei Harbor. There are several hills and hills by the sea, which can be used to build a culvert to connect to the sea, and place the two-person music that pumps seawater.Evaporation ponds and crystallization ponds are also planned to be terraced to facilitate the conversion of brine.However, the amount of work is huge, and Jin Zhan plans to divide it into three phases to complete.Given that Xiao Shunzi has a lot of experience in the salt production process of Yantian, let Xiao Shunzi supervise it when the time comes.The rest of the industries cannot be relocated until the workshops and residences at the wharf are completed.

Da Lei and Lao Jin also led the dozen or so people who guarded Su Qing back at this time, because Su Qing had gained a firm foothold in Dayan Kingdom, and the ministers who supported the First Prince and the Second Prince in the past would be punished if they did not repent and rehabilitate. Uncertain dismissal from office.It's too late for those ministers to protect themselves, how dare they disrespect the new emperor.Therefore, Su Qing's position as the wolf lord became more and more secure.

Su Hu changed the palace guards again, and now his eldest son is in charge of the guards, and Lao Jin Dalei and the others don't need them anymore.Su Qing rewarded each of them with 200 taels of silver, and a dozen of them happily returned to Yawei Harbor by boat.

They also learned during this period that Dayan Country is rich in several kinds of wild deer, fox, otter, raccoon dog, and snow rabbit skins, which are the raw materials for making high-grade fur.Liu Tao was very satisfied when she heard it, which helped her design and make special winter clothes.

When they returned to Jinfu, Liumao and Xiaosi had already gone to Yazui Port. Together with the foreign masters, they quickly increased the output of glass bottles to more than 200 a day.Liu Tao said that when the number reaches [-], they will return from Yazui Harbor.

Another notice of tax reform issued by the imperial court of Dajin Kingdom has come down. This time there is no major change, but the ranking has been re-ranked. Jinfu has changed from the original No.20 five to the top fifteen. It should be July, August and September in the autumn. , charged according to this standard for three consecutive months.In July, the monthly charge is more than 700 taels more than in summer.The reason is that in order to deal with the imperial court, all the major businesses broke up their industries into pieces. Although the Jinfu also did this, it was not thorough enough.

This does not include the Liangshan Port Wharf, the salt fields by the sea, the Yazui Port workshop made of glass, the overseas warehouses and shopping malls, the grapes and pears outside the courtyard...The telescope Jinzhang had already stopped production on the pretext that there were no qualified lenses, and the quicksand painting and bark painting were no longer made, so even these were not beaten by the shameless Ruizong.

The two hated Ruizong so much, but they didn't dare to reason with him, they could only speed up the transfer of the Jin family's property secretly.Xiao Shunzi's Yantian had already been negotiated, and it was transferred to him in the name of 6 taels of silver.The court's resale tax was also paid according to this amount, but Xiao Shunzi secretly asked Xiao Shunzi to pay half of the profit to the Jinfu, and keep the other half for his own use.

The restaurant was also transferred to Liu Xi with a reputation worth 2 taels of silver, which also allowed Liu Xi to share half of the profits.All three piers were given to Liu Guangjun, and half of the profit was given to the Jin family, and the other half was shared equally among several of Jin Yang's former guards.The two did this to lower the tax ranking of the Jinfu.Every few points lower, you can save hundreds of taels of silver every month, and you don't treat a few good brothers who followed you, who were once subordinates.

Jin Hao also secretly told Lu Run that if the number of glass bottles in Yazui Port reaches [-], he can arrange for the foreign masters to evacuate. I will come back after smoothing out the glass production.

The reason why they were in a hurry to evacuate was because at some point, the Imperial Taxation Department had arranged for people to move into Yazui Port.At that time, withdrawing would be tantamount to turning against the court, and that would be uncomfortable in front of Ruizong.Also, when they evacuated, it would be best for Captain Venus to pick them up, creating the illusion that the people and ships of the Jin Mansion were all in Liangshan Port.

Ruizong's purpose was revealed day by day, and he issued quotas for smuggling refined iron to each wharf of Liangshan Port. However, due to the intensified inspections at the major ports of Luocha Kingdom, very little refined iron was smuggled, which made him very disappointed. in a hurry.

What Ruizong didn't know was that Captain Venus had unloaded [-] stainless steel sickle heads for Xiao Yan at one time, and all of these were under the care of the governor of Montenegro Port before they could be successfully loaded and sailed.When his ship returned, it loaded goods at Yawei Port, and then turned to Yazui Port to pick up several foreign masters and their families.By the time Ruizong sent the people from the tax department to Yazui Port, they had already gone to Gang Kong, only Liu Mao and Xiao Si were left pretending to cry.

The two said; it was a foreign ship that came here and took away those foreign masters and their family members, and they didn't know about the rest.The crew who accompanied them didn't know the inside story. Seeing that there were no people in Yazui Port, and the chimney of the glass furnace collapsed, they hurriedly took them back to Liangshan Port to report to Lu Run.

Those foreign masters went back to Heishan Port, and even Tian Zhuang and General Yuman followed.Zhang Sheng Luo Luo and another glass factory owner arranged a grand banquet for them, and even their family members attended.During the dinner, they promised to provide good benefits to their families, and promised to give them high salaries. After all, high-level talents will receive high-level treatment, and the same applies everywhere.

Jin Hao let out the wind in advance, saying that the warehouse in Heishan Port of Luocha Kingdom had been sold to Luo Luo for one thousand gold coins.Jin Lian was quite self-conscious, and combined one thousand gold coins into one thousand five hundred taels of silver, and paid taxes to the Liangshan Port Tax Division according to the proportion that should be paid.

Rui Zongming knew that there was something tricky about it, but the Raksha Kingdom was not within his tentacles, and there was nowhere for a dog to bite a hedgehog, not to mention that the Jinfu had paid enough transaction taxes.

Regarding the changes in the Jin Mansion, Ruizong had already noticed, and he also knew about Jin Yang's big spending in Yawei Harbor.If the Jin Mansion relocated its property to Yawei Port, the tax revenue of the Jin Mansion would have nothing to do with Daqian Country.If they moved away and were in the port of Xiaoyan Country, they would have to work for the welfare of Xiaoyan Country and even the entire Northland. If the Dazhang Country and the Northland went to war, Jin Yan would not stand wholeheartedly on the side of the Dazhang Country up.

Comparing Jin Li's intelligence with his own, giving him a country will be better than his own, this is beyond doubt.Jin Hao is also an outstanding military talent, and his strategy is stronger than any high-ranking official in the court.Just relying on him single-handedly going to Qinglang country to rescue Su Huan, and the raid on the salt field of Xiaoyan country, silently annihilating the battle of Xiaoyan country's national teacher and his party.Jin Li's boldness and ruthless strikes made Ruizong feel chills down his back just thinking about it. This character who must not be underestimated had to make him wary.

Ruizong also knew about the fact that the private army of the Jin Mansion wiped out the pirates on Xianglu Island. Although the private army of the Jin Mansion was small in number, they were of high quality and equipped with well-equipped guns and crossbows. I heard that the golden calamity was returned to the private army Dozens of sets of climbing and rappelling equipment have been designed, a kind of blowing needle wants to make people live or die, just change the medicine on the needle...

His private army, unless it is too small in number when facing a large army, will not be defeated if it fights against any force secretly.Ruizong has great concerns about this point.

At the beginning, he thought of the time when the two were interrogated, the reason why he didn't hit Jin Yanliu Tao was also carefully considered.If what I did was too outrageous at the beginning, the two people who were beaten and punished and lost their face, but I can't guarantee when I will send private troops to secretly revenge, and I am not sure to block the spears and crossbows they shoot from the dark.

The things about saving Su Huan and destroying the national teacher were heard through spies stationed in the Jin Mansion and Xiaoyan Country, and the spies didn't know everything.The news sent by the spies was full of embellishments and jealousy, describing the golden catastrophe as a god-man in the army of thousands of horses who lightly took the head of the enemy general.If he stood on the opposite side of Daqianguo during the war, and Daqianguo faced this wizard, how could he be sure of winning?
The work of the private army of the Jin Mansion is done secretly. Although the deeds have not been spread in the Daxiong Kingdom, they have been registered in Ruizong for a long time. Several major court ministers have heard of them, but they did not endanger the royal family The dignity of the emperor can only be allowed to develop, but this is not a long way, and it is better for the court to use it.

He couldn't fight hard with the Jin family, and besides, he couldn't do it as an emperor, but in order to win over Jin Li, he found the fourth princess and discussed that he would recruit Jin Li to her as his son-in-law.

The fourth princess got along well with Liu Tao, knowing that Liu Tao has a strong temper and hates those who dare to covet gold disasters, even good sisters.Although Jin Li is excellent in all aspects, she doesn't want to destroy their two people's world. Today, Brother Huang just raised this matter at the beginning, and let her reject it. Ruizong had no choice but to find another way. Putting that aside for now....

In mid-August, the grapes began to mature. Liutao estimates that this year's yield per mu should reach [-] jin. Such rare grapes are not envied by others, and they can be sold no matter how much they are.Since the grapes in Jinfu became popular last year, many interested people have started to introduce them. However, Jinfu has taken good precautions. The grapes have no seeds, and the side branches of the vines that are usually cut off are not allowed to be thrown away. piled together and burned.Therefore, the beauty refers to that the grape seedlings have never been spread.
