The Founding of the Red Chamber

Therefore, sometimes fate is really an inexplicable thing, such as Lin Jing and Tu Xiaosan.Few people in the world can appreciate Lin Jing's temperament, who can get angry when he says it, and turn his face when he says it. Tu Xiaosan feels that there is nothing wrong with Brother Ah Jing.Moreover, Tu Xiaosan really felt that his Brother Ah Jing was a pain in the ass, but his petty temper made him even more of a pain.

Tu Xiaosan lived in Hanzhou City for a month before returning to Hanzhou City.

Tu Xiaosi said, "Brother, why don't you celebrate the New Year in Hanzhou City."

Tu Xiaosan said, "I haven't had a good time getting together with Ah Jing in the past two years. It's easy to be free, so naturally I want to stay longer." Asked Tu Xiaosi, "What's the matter?"

"It's nothing serious, it's just that the imperial court came with an official document, saying that the Xindu Army will take office next spring." Tu Xiaosi showed his brother the imperial official document, and after reading it, Tu Xiaosan felt that it was as expected.Tu Xiaosi said, "Youfufacai asked me to ask you when they will come back alive."

Tu Xiaosan thought about it, went to see You Fu Fa Cai in person, and told them about the current situation.Tu Xiaosan felt that the Xindu Army was coming next year, and the situation was unknown for the time being, so it was best to leave a team in the dark.This time, Tu Xiaosan killed Xie Dujun, Youfu made a fortune and made a great contribution, Tu Xiaosan would not treat them badly, Tu Xiaosan said, "We have some things in our hands right now, but think about what happened in Jinling City back then. Don't be cautious."

The two of them thought about the matter of Jinling City, so they stopped arguing and went back to the city immediately.Tu Xiaosan said, "You are in the dark, this is our confidence."

You Fu said, "Brother, there is nothing wrong with this mountain, but it makes people panic because they can't listen to the opera."

Tu Xiaosan gave him a moment to back his head, and said, "Damn it! Train the manpower honestly, and tell you, take these people well, the five thousand acres of land in Laohei Village, when you marry a wife, this will be your permanent inheritance. It’s also considered a property.”

When the two heard that the five thousand mu of land was given to them, they were both happy and embarrassed, and said, "Brother, you gave us two salt roads, and we can't take this land."

Tu Xiaosan said with a straight face, "I didn't say to give it now, when you get married, I will give it to your daughter-in-law."

The two laughed and lived in this mountain with high fighting spirit.

The days that followed were not easy.

Back then, it was a good year.Tu Xiaosan has just taken over the power, and wants to buy people's hearts from all walks of life, so all parties have had a fat year.But then, after the beginning of spring, the new capital army was quite difficult to get along with.To what extent is it difficult to get along with each other, and you even have the idea of ​​being a three-person horse, if you are not willing to be a puppet, you have to show the ability not to be a puppet, but this one, who is so stunned and speechless, directly Wouldn't it be deadly for the generals to exchange soldiers and horses?

Once this matter is done, not only Tu Xiaosan is not happy, but no one else is happy.

This contradiction is irreconcilable.

Tu Xiaosan had already dealt with Xie Dujun, and he was merciless towards this Dujun, but instead of letting the "Bandits" take action, Tu Xiaosan got some poison, and slowly administered the Dujun to death.

Anyway, Jinzhou City is poor and rough, and it is really difficult for delicate people to survive here.

Once the Xindu Army died, the court had to send another Xindu Army.

In this way, after changing three capitals in a row, an interesting one finally came.The surname of Xindujun is Wang, and it is said that he was a descendant of the Langya Wang family 800 years ago.According to Wang Dujun, he offended the people in power in the court, and then he was exiled to such a place of death.

Wang Dujun was very knowledgeable about current affairs, so he said directly to Tu Xiaosan, "I don't understand military affairs, so General Tu will decide the matter. If there is anything you want me to sign and seal, just tell me."

With such a statement, Tu Xiaosan's expression softened, and he said respectfully, "All military affairs must naturally be decided by the army."

Wang Dujun waved his hand, "Okay, I won't come with you. Let me tell you, if it weren't for the fact that you Jinzhou City even killed three soldiers, it would not be my turn to come here. My rival feels Hey, put me here in Jinzhou City, and you will solve me for him. Hey, he is dreaming. General Tu, I don’t want to be courteous to you. You can’t just take the share that should be given to me. It’s missing! There’s a big family in my hometown to support.”

The first two were acting like they would rather not cooperate, but now this Wang Dujun is so soft that Tu Xiaosan is a little speechless.Tu Xiaosan quickly said, "That's natural."

Wang Dujun had no opinion at all.

Tu Xiaosan said to Lin Jing, "This Wang Dujun is very easy-going."

The corner of Lin Jing's lips curled up, "That's good."

Tu Xiaosan came this time to discuss with Lin Jing about buying some weapons, Lin Jing asked, "Are you recruiting someone again?"

"That's not true, but I saw a few people under the command of the garrison general. The swords and guns are very ugly. Such men, where can they fight, are they free? I thought about it and replaced them together. Soldiers have to be like soldiers, otherwise, what will happen in future wars?"

Lin Jing asked, "How much?"

Tu Xiaosan said a number, Lin Jing asked, "Are you rich?"

Asked about this, Tu Xiaosan was slightly embarrassed, and said embarrassingly, "Well, can you pay [-]% for the time being, and let me pay the rest slowly."

Lin Jing looked at Tu Xiaosan, and asked suspiciously, "Can you come up with [-]% of the money now?"

Tu Xiaosan was puzzled, "Ah Jing, how do you know I can't get it out?"

Lin Jing rolled his eyes, "If you can't get it out, what kind of riches are you pretending to be?"

Tu Xiaosan said, "Didn't I think that a sum of money should come back next month? Calculated like this, it should be about the same."

Lin Jing's disciple Xiaosan said, "Don't be so honest, it's possible that they will change all their equipment at once. If you are like this, how can your subordinates be grateful for what they lack?"

Lin Jing said, "If you're like this, a big competition is held every month. Whichever soldier has trained well will change his equipment first, and those who have not trained well will be ranked last. When there is something about reeling bandits, go out together and die. Once a person dies, those who slack off in military affairs will not dare to slack off in the future."

Tu Xiaosan praised sincerely, "Ah Jing, you are smart."

Lin Jing pretended to be modest and said, "It's so-so."

Seeing Lin Jing's smug look, Tu Xiaosan liked it very much, pulled the chair and sat closer, and said to Lin Jing, "Ah Jing, I won't hide it from you, you must be clear about my affairs. It's strange to say that when Xie Dujun was here before, he gave me some points through his fingers, and I felt that my life was good, I bought a big house, and my brothers also had meat to eat. But now, it is reasonable for me to take the big head now , but I don’t know why, this money is getting more and more insufficient.”

Lin Jing said, "That's how it is to raise an army. Everything is money for eating, drinking, and drinking. Moreover, if you want the soldiers under you to be loyal, you must have a monthly salary. With the salary, the soldiers can at least entrust someone to send the money back to their hometown. , send them to their wives and children, they will work hard if they have something to look forward to. They want to raise an elite army, with swords, guns, halberds, food, food and clothing, all of which are money. Although you have a lot of money from private salt, it is not enough to support such expenses. Not enough It’s normal, if you think it’s enough, then it’s not normal.”

Tu Xiaosan asked, "Why didn't I think you didn't spend enough here?"

Lin Jingdao, "I'm not only in the business of ginseng, I have to pay safety tax for all businesses in Hanzhou City. Even if you privately enter Hanzhou City, don't you also give me some money? What do you think? You have given me a lot of money for private salt, to tell you the truth, it cannot be compared with shredded tea."

Tu Xiaosan asked, "Is there any objection to them paying the money?"

"I haven't heard that anyone has any objections." Lin Jing said with an innocent face, "I'm not forcing people to pay money. If you don't want to, then don't come to my Hanzhou City to do business. Besides, they paid the money. If there is no soldiers to disturb, the journey will be safe. Before I came, how could they have this peace? I am grateful that I am too late."

Tu Xiaosan was amazed.

Tu Xiaosan said, "You can take this money. You have a prosperous business here. I think you have a lot of people here. There are northern barbarians, local people in Hanzhou City, and some Raksha ghosts with red eyebrows and green eyes. You The business here is very big, and those merchants are willing to pay money. I can’t do it there, people are just passing by, and even local merchants can’t compare with yours. Even if you collect money from house to house, you can’t collect much.”

Lin Jingdao, "Jinzhou has the advantages of Jinzhou. Jinzhou has a large area and few people. If you don't mind the slow effect, I have a way to save money to train troops."

"Ah Jing, tell me quickly."

"If you want to recruit those young men, not to mention the monthly salary, how much food and grass will you have to eat. In addition to Xie Dujun and others, you should have acquired a lot of land, right?"

"At that time, I had tens of thousands of hectares in my hand, but I still had [-] hectares in my hand after the division was made."

"With five thousand hectares of land, there must be tens of thousands of tenants, right?"

"almost."

"Jinzhou City often fights. If you recruit the young and strong, the old and the young are left in the family. Farming is not good. You might as well use the village or township as a unit to train tenants, and select young and strong. Yes. Training for half a day every day, the current rent, [-], is a kind owner. If you do this, the rent can be changed to [-] for anyone who participates in the training. If there is someone who is outstanding in training, give him [-], as long as he pays Forty percent, and the rest belong to tenants. In this way, they will farm for you in their free time, and once there is a war, they can immediately recruit a group of people. Even if they are not better than the elite soldiers trained every day, such soldiers, compared to those It's much better to make up for it with empty pay. In this way, you don't have to worry about food and clothes, just get some weapons. Weapons should be given according to your ability. Besides, you have a lot of people now, so you have to encourage them Tenants raising horses, the reason why Beiman is a headache is because of its equestrian archery is the best in the world, no one can compete with it." Lin Jing said.

Tu Xiaosan sighed in admiration, held Lin Jing's hand and said, "Ah Jing, you are the god sent to me by heaven."

Lin Jing was complacent, but said in his mouth, "Stop flattering me." Then he joked, "Hey, let me tell you, you've made a lot of money now. I borrowed you 1000 taels earlier, why didn't you pay it back?"

Tu Xiaosan hummed, "If you don't pay that one back, you owe it."

Lin Jing smiled.
