A Timely Wife

Li Ruoshan was the first to respond to Li Ruosong's question. He remembered that after Li Ruosong beheaded Liu Bai, he sent people to search Liu Bai's house. In addition to the search after the arrest of this group of military officers, he should be able to find a lot of people. Li Ruoshan, who appraised the gold and silver, thought for a while and said, "I remember my brother sent someone to search Commander Liu's house before. They should have found a lot of valuable things. I don't know how long these things can last?"

Li Ruosong glanced at Li Ruoshan appreciatively, and said: "From Liu Bai's house, 1000 taels of gold, 2 taels of silver, and other antique calligraphy and paintings worth about 10 taels were found. We brought 300 taels of silver from Liujiagou, 300 taels of gold from the emperor, 1000 taels of silver, and 2000 taels of silver from the Lord Zhong. Now we have 300 taels of gold and 300 taels of silver. .

Speaking of which, corrupt officials are much richer than the imperial court. Look, the title of Lianzhong Sanyuan only got 300 taels of gold and 1000 taels of silver. The loyal prince probably gave me all the money at the bottom of the box, but in the end it was only 2000 taels of silver , but a small guard commander of the third rank actually found 1000 taels of gold and 2 taels of silver from the house. If I remember correctly, the Chu River flooded last year, and the disaster relief fund allocated by the court was only 30 taels Two taels of silver, these officials are so greedy and dare to be greedy. In three years, the magistrate has [-] snowflakes of silver. Our common people are living too hard. "

When Li Ruosong said this, he paused for a moment, and continued: "My husband told me eight words before, Xing, the people suffer, and death, the people suffer. I was just a commoner at that time, and my life was okay. So I didn’t have much insight. Until today, after seeing this scene, I finally understood the meaning of this sentence. A lot, in fact, can not help but spend.

According to our current personnel expenses, I estimate that these silver taels can only cover our expenses for this year at most, and this is not counting the expansion in the future. Don't forget, we have no surplus food now, and the surrounding villages and towns are probably deserted. More and less planting. In this case, all food must be collected outside for at least one year. Once collected outside, the money will be spent like running water, so don’t think that we have so much money in our hands as if it is enough. , is far from enough. "

Li Ruoshan blushed a little, it was because he thought too simply, he only thought about how much income he would have after ransacking the house, but he didn't expect how big a gap would be in expenditure. In fact, not only Li Ruoshan, but everyone else present was also thinking about it. Anyway, I still have it in my hand, and I will talk about it later.

Cheng Dong could probably guess what these people were thinking just by looking at their expressions. He patted Li Ruoshan on the shoulder and said, "Ruoshan is young, so it's not bad to be able to think of this. My master once said something to me. , If you want to have extra money in your hands, you must achieve the four words of increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. Saving money is one aspect, and earning money is another aspect.

Jinghaiwei's Wei Mansion is in this place. There are many mountains and few dense forests. Even if you want to plant land, you have to reclaim the mountain land first. Even if you plant it now, it will take a few months to get a harvest. There are not many soldiers. It can resist pirates, but there are many pirates who come to harass them from time to time. The common people are busy saving their lives. Where is the thought of farming? Yes, so we want to make money through caravans, which is basically wishful thinking. In a short period of time, the biggest role of caravans is to go out to buy food.

I want to emphasize one point, no matter what, the meals of our soldiers must satisfy everyone. It does not mean that everyone eats well and is served with big fish and meat, but that it is very necessary to be full. It can be a little less, just maintain the normal expenses, and we must make it clear to them that those who are willing to stay must submit to our management, take other people's bowls and accept other people's management, no matter where they go, it makes sense.

As for open source, this point was brought up by Wakamatsu. We use war to support war. Anyway, we need to train troops and eliminate pirates. These pirates have been operating here for decades. I don’t know how much gold and silver they have in their lairs. Treasures, we don’t have money, they have it, we don’t have food, they also have it, since they have everything, and they stole it from our Da Chu, how can they not snatch it back as a soldier of Da Chu?Not only to snatch them back, but also to exterminate them. Collusion between officials and bandits will not work here. You future company commanders also remember that if anyone dares to collude with pirates in private, they will be killed without mercy. "

Li Ruoshan found that Li Ruosong was obviously taken aback when he heard Cheng Dong say that he was the one who raised the idea of ​​using war to raise war, and his expression seemed unexpected. Well, this method was proposed by his brother-in-law, but his brother-in-law wanted to save face for his elder brother, so he said that Li Ruosong came up with it.

However, Li Ruoshan's eyeballs rolled around, and he laughed mischievously. From now on, his parents will also be his own parents, his two sons will be his own nephews, and his husband will be his own brother-in-law. From this point of view, I can be regarded as a blessed person. I have so many family members who care about me at once, and it is the kind that I can't get rid of once I get stuck.

Cheng Li was hugged in Li Ruoshan's arms. It was strange to see his little uncle so small. The little fleshy hand touched Li Ruoshan's face without hesitation. There was a loud bang and a bang, and everyone in the room was shocked. Hearing that, Li Ruoshan lowered her head in astonishment, and saw Cheng Li drooling and smiling silly at him with his little face upturned, seeing the little uncle looking at him, the little guy said happily: "Laugh, uncle, laugh."

Li Ruoshan has brought Cheng Li for more than a year, so he naturally understands what Cheng Li means. Cheng Li said that his uncle smiled, and he laughed too. Slapped it down, "You can't pinch a child's face, they will drool."

"He'll drool even if I don't pinch him." Li Ruoshan pointed to Cheng Li in his arms, and said plausibly.

Zhou Jinyan glanced at him expressionlessly, and said, "It's because you squeezed me so hard that I drool. Why doesn't Li Cheng drool?"

Hearing his name, Li Cheng raised his head, looked at Zhou Jinyan and then at Li Ruoshan, blinking his big eyes, "Huh?"

Li Ruoshan found himself speechless, rubbed his fingers and pinched Zhou Jinyan's face, Zhou Jinyan looked at him with your childish expression, Li Ruoshan cleared his throat, retracted his hand in embarrassment, pretending that he didn't say anything just now didn't happen.

The others endured and endured, but they still couldn't hold back. As a result, a burst of joyous laughter erupted in the room. Li Ruoshan wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but, amidst the laughter of everyone, Li Ruoshan's Little face still slowly turned red.

"Okay, okay, don't laugh, let's get back to business, just now Fulang explained it to everyone by saying that war supports war, I want to make a show of hands now, and whenever we encounter this kind of discussion in the future, we will At the end, a show of hands vote is held to decide whether to pass according to the principle of minority obeying the majority. Of course, the opinions of opponents will also be listened to before the decision. Generally speaking, a matter is finally decided by raising hands three times.

Then, first vote on the appointment of talents by show of hands. Those who agree will raise their hands, and those who disagree will not raise their hands. If there are any objections, they can be raised directly after the voting is over. " After Li Ruosong finished speaking, he waited for everyone present to raise their hands, but found that no one raised their hands. When Li Ruosong was still thinking about what was going on, he heard someone ask how to raise their hands and which hand to raise.

Li Ruosong rubbed his forehead, he really forgot about it, "Raise your right hand, fingers together, the forearm and forearm are in this posture."

After learning for a while, everyone raised their hands to express their agreement with the appointment arrangement just now.

"Since everyone does not object, let me talk about the important tasks in the near future. First of all, Feng Bao's side. You take 20 people to Ninghai Mansion, pretend to be merchants, and go there to buy food. You can buy as much as you can. Chen Liang wants it too, later you go to Jinyan to pick up banknotes and loose silver, Jinyan, during this period of time you will also be the accountant, all the silver must be signed by you before you can use it, and all the silver will be provided by Ruoshan Responsible for safekeeping, Li Hu and the Tiger Team are responsible for guarding.

Dad will be in charge of the renovation of the Weifu, with the help of Butler Zhang. The plan has been handed over to Dad before, so just build the house according to the plan. The districts must be clearly divided, and the military, civilian, and factory buildings must be separated. This is a big project, and it will take a lot of worry from site selection to construction. When Mr. Ping and the others arrive, the two of you can hand over the specific affairs to Mr. Ping and them.

Zhou Cheng, you took ten people to the town last night to count the number of people, according to the age of 6, from 6 to 12, from 12 to 18, from 18 to 35, and from 35 to over 500, and counting by family For those who are willing to join the army, there are a lot of empty houses and tents in the Weifu for the time being. If the number of people is less than [-], they will be brought back and placed in the Weifu. This time the pirates killed dozens of people at once. I am worried. When the pirates get the news, they will come back to revenge them.

As for those people in the county government prison, they should be brought back first, locked in the Weifu prison, and sent to guard them, and they can be withdrawn when they are reorganized. In addition, remember to bring back all the files. I doubt it very much. How many people are real prisoners, the county magistrate is not a good thing. "

Li Ruosong smiled coldly, and said: "The county magistrate will also escort you back first, and bring all the government servants back. If he doesn't want to leave, that's fine. Let him stay alone in the prison. I think the pirates are very happy to see him, but I don’t know if the pirates will vent their anger on him after losing their silver and weapons.”
