Chapter 512 Stirring the Hornet's Nest

The next day.

Since Qianqing Palace raised the mourning spirit, Jia Qiang went to Dongshi.

Along the way, there are shadows of soldiers and horses everywhere in every street, square, and alley.

Countless people, scholars, and businessmen looked at the soldiers and horses who were carrying loads, carrying sacks, or pulling carts, clearing away the garbage accumulated on the side of the street, in the square city, and at the entrance of the alley. The sewage in the stinking ditch is taken away by water truck and then buried with loess.

The soldiers and gangsters accumulated by Bingmasi previously had a total of less than 3000 people, plus more than 2000 blood transfusions from the Jinsha Gang in recent days, a total of less than 5000 people, scattered throughout the entire East City, was still stretched.

Gao Long, who was accompanying him, was covered with stains and smells, and even he went off to do things in person. Gao Long said to Jia Qiang, "Master Hou, the main reason is the lack of manpower! There is too much difference! Look, don't you think Hire some more?"

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "If you recruit again, you will cross the line... In this way, Bingmasi is only responsible for the garbage and sewage at the main street, Minfangkou and Hutong entrances. The inside of the street is like the pile of rags and waste piled up at the door of the common people in front. Yier, just knocked on the door and went in, and ordered his house to be cleaned up immediately. Next time, a fine of [-] yuan will be fined. And there, the restaurant dumped some residue directly on the street. They cleaned it up, and next time they clean it up, they will be fined five taels of silver. If they do it again, ten taels of silver!

It is impossible to keep Dongcheng clean forever by relying on the strength of Bingmasi alone.No matter how diligent we are, we can't stand what they made. "

Hu Xiaqi beside Gao Long said: "Isn't Hou Ye going to collect the merchant's sanitary money? Why don't you let people pour it?"

If they don't fail, why pay the money?

Jia Qiang glanced at him and scolded: "You're a deadhead! We opened a restaurant here, did we dredge the street in front of the door? We are responsible for cleaning the main street.

After a few days, Bingmasi found some needy people from among the common people, such as widowed old people, vulnerable people with sick people at home, and asked them to clean the main street every day to ensure the cleanliness of the street, and paid them some money every month , so that they can at least have an income to support chewing.

This is something that is beneficial to all businesses, and it is also beneficial to the people. Shouldn't the businesses pay some health money?In addition to sanitary silver, there will be fireproof silver in the future, and it will be..."

Hu Xia cast her eyes on the ground in admiration, and said: "Master Hou, you are worthy of the name of the Golden Boy of Good Wealth. When you make money, you have a great reason, which is really amazing!"

"go away!"

After Gao Long scolded and left, he said to Jia Qiang, "I'm afraid it may not be a good harvest."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "So, I'll come here in person today to take the first order! Let's start with this one!"

Gao Long and Hu Xia looked up and saw the word "Ruixiang"...

……

"Song Dong's family, don't come here without any problems."

Entering the tall gatehouse of the Ruixiang, ignoring the strange eyes of the reception staff, Jia Qiang stepped in, and saw Song Zhe's shrewd face in the past, but now it was much more gloomy.

However, seeing Jia Qiang enter the door, Song Zhe stood up and greeted him with a smiling face: "Mr. Ning is here, and your name is full of glory! I don't know what you can do when Marquis Ning comes here?"

Jia Qiang always felt that Song Zhe gritted his teeth when he said these words.

And he didn't give up his seat, and he didn't pour tea, which shows the hatred in his heart.

Jia Qiang didn't care either, she smiled, looked around, saw the tall brocades and satins on the container, said "tsk", said: "I came here today, it's a private matter. It's a private matter, of course. Just come here to see if the Ruixiang has dyed the cloud brocade? The Ruixiang family has a great career and profound heritage, if you can improve the recipe, please tell me so that I can also benefit from it."

Hearing this, Song Zhe almost vomited blood, and said with a dark face, "It must, it must. I don't know, it's business, what's the matter?"

Jia Qiang looked at him and laughed, which made Song Zhe wish to smash his face with a punch. Then Jia Qiang pointed outside and said, "Did the Song Dong family see the movements of Bing Ma Si in the past few days?"

Song Zhe suppressed the resentment and impatience in his heart, and said: "I see, Ning Hou has such a great handwriting, he is worthy of being the commander of the Army and Horse Division!"

This is with a mocking tone. Song Zhe, who was born in a family of scholar-officials, although he is in business, still has the nobility of a scholar-bureaucrat in his heart.

He looked down on ordinary regular warriors, let alone a group of soldiers and horses, Si Ding Yong, who cleaned up the garbage in the streets?

For hundreds of years, Bing Ma Si was the lowest rank in the army, and was not even recognized as a member of the army.

As if Jia Qiang didn't understand Song Zhe's implication, he smiled and said: "It's hard to say how big a handwriting is, but it's just in his position, let's plan his own government. Every year from winter to spring, the city will be more or less popular. During a period of epidemics, many people will always die. The more people live in the dirty and smelly stains, the more people will die. As the commander of the army and horses, I am responsible for cleaning up the streets and cities, how can I stand by and watch? Because, with the help of soldiers, thousands of soldiers and horses, they thoroughly cleaned up all the dirty and stinky things in the East City! Even the deputy commander of the soldiers and horses, they all went off in person.

Of course, these are duties, nothing to brag about.It's just that so many people work together, and the cost is huge.Bingmasi's military expenditure is not enough to spend all of it.I went to ask the emperor for it, and the emperor said that he didn't have a penny, and that since I can be an official, I have the ability to spend military expenses in a dignified way.If you can't get it, don't be an official as soon as possible, go home and coax the girl.

Benhou thinks the emperor's words are really wise!No, Ben Hou is here? "

Song Zhe heard the words, with a smile on his face and said: "Ninghou, are you here for alms?"

When the word "begging for fate" was mentioned, Song Zhe's heart was bleeding.

In just a few days, the Song family spent more than 130 million taels of silver!

The Song family is naturally rich in tens of millions, but these family properties are just family businesses, not cash.

Of course, the Ruixiang has a lot of cash, but the necessary budget aside, the cash that can be mobilized at will is only 200 million taels in total.

The rich merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are different from Tu Laocai. Tu Laocai likes to save money in wax gourds. The rich people from southern provinces pay more attention to the transfer of wealth.

In their view, the faster and more the circulation, the more wealth will be brought.

Therefore, after the 130 million taels of silver were taken away, the spare money of the Ruixiang was running out.

This culprit actually has the face to ask for alms?dream!

But he didn't want to. Hearing this, Jia Qiang's eyes instantly turned cold, she looked at Song Zhe and said indifferently: "Almsgiving? This Marquis is talking about business affairs, and he has the dignity of the court. Do you think this Marquis is here to ask you for alms from a merchant? Song Zhe , your Song family's courage is greater than the sky! Also, your Song family dare to use the queen mother and uncle Guo as swords to seek wealth, what else is your Song family afraid to do?"

Song Zhe heard the words, his complexion changed drastically, and he quickly denied: "Ninghou, although I respect your status, but Ninghou should not just talk about it! When did the Song family use the empress dowager and the uncle of the country as a knife? It is Ninghou who has far-reaching plans... "

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Go on, why don't you go on?"

Song Zhe swallowed his saliva, looked at so many soldiers and horses Si Dingyong gathered at the door, how could he dare to speak.

Jia Qiang shook her head when she saw it, and said: "The official business of the Marquis is to collect money for sanitation and cleaning. The Ruixiang is in Beijing. There are a total of 68 shops, and the sanitation money for each one is five taels a month. 340 taels. Please settle your account, otherwise, the Ruixiang account, which has only been open for a few days, will be closed again."

Song Zhe heard the words, his face was livid, and he gritted his teeth: "One sanitation silver costs more than 300 taels a month, and 4000 taels a year. Is Ninghou crazy poor!!"

Jia Qiang wondered: "I'm poor? None of these silvers and pennies can be put into Benhou's pocket. Although my Jia family's life is not rich, but I don't have such shallow eyelids. I want to see something good. You don’t even want your face for money. 4000 taels a year sounds like a lot, but there are 68 shops in Ruixiang, and on average, one store is only 60 taels a year. Your Ruixiang comes and goes every day. With so many customers, how much dust and dirt will be produced in the process? Don’t clean it up? Stop talking nonsense! If you don’t accept it, just ask Song Zhou to impeach me. It’s okay if you don’t pay the money, just close the door!”

After Song Zhe took a deep breath, he nodded and said, "Okay! Okay! You can also pay the money. I just want to ask, is it only the Ruixiang account, or all the merchants?"

Jia Qiang smiled lightly, and said: "With your Song family, it's not enough for the Marquis to deal with it in person. Naturally, we have to hand over everything."

Hearing this, Song Zhe almost didn't laugh out loud, but he had a weird look on his face.

He has never seen such a deadly person!

Did this young man think that if he cheated the Song family once, he would be invincible?

Not to mention a mere Jia family, not to mention Lin Ruhai behind him, even if the emperor stands behind him, even if the supreme emperor comes back to life, he directly announces that Jia Qiang is his illegitimate child...
