Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

First, Chao Gai, Wu Yong and others, who were still considered"outsiders", came forward.

The congratulatory gift given by everyone is a set of gold jewelry, which is worth about a hundred dollars and is a medium-range gift.

It was also Wang Lun who ordered everyone not to spend too much money. The main thing is not to be too favoritistic about one thing or another.

When Hu Sanniang and Li Shishi followed Wang Lun, Liangshan and Wang Lun's status was not as high as it is now, so there were no ceremonies or gifts.

Hua Xiaomei has already surpassed the previous ones. If she accepts gifts lavishly, it will not be a good thing to make the back house restless.

Wang Lun accepted the gift and said with a smile:"You are the king of heaven, why spend so much money!"

Chao Gai said with a smile:"We have to thank the master for the salt supply channels. Although it has only been three months, we have already I've made a lot of money."

Chao Gai and others looked grateful.

In three months, 400,000 yuan was spent to pick fine salt, which was of good quality, free of impurities, and as white as snow crystals.

Such salt products are almost always available as much as possible.

The price is slightly lower than the official salt price.

The people are not stupid.

Not only the common people, but also middle-class families, officials, gentry, monks and Taoist officials would rather wait for Liangshan salt than buy official salt.

Only Liangshan salt has been out of stock for a long time, so they have no choice but to pay high prices to buy official salt whose quality is much worse.

Of course, Liangshan salt has impacted the official salt market, but considering the official salt market with tens of millions of picks a year, Liangshan’s current shipments of hundreds of thousands of picks of salt are not enough to make the court wary or anxious about it..

There have always been private salts, but those that were hit were the private salts with comparable prices but much lower quality. This part of the market was taken away by Liangshanquan.

Those private salt dealers are also helpless.

What can they do? beat?

Are the two green forest tycoons Chao Gai and Li Jun afraid that they will take action?

Or report it to the official?

Selling smuggled salt is not assassination, it is beheading!

Wang Lun captured this part of the market through Li Jun and Chao Gai quite unreasonably and easily.

It also includes the shipping channels of these two people.

Chao Gai and Li Jun could play a greater role in this matter than getting them up the mountain.

At least Wang Lun didn't realize that these two groups had any special skills in leading 06 soldiers into battle?

On the other hand, Tong Wei, Tong Meng brothers, and Zhang Shun, who will lead the Shuiying Club in the future, are much more valuable than King Chao Tian.

Of course, there is no need to elaborate on these words.

Chao Gai and others should be grateful.

With a price of more than 400,000 yuan, Liangshan still earns about one million yuan after removing all the expenses.

Chao Gai and others can also get less than 100,000 strings.

It's much more comfortable than their birthday card.

Sitting at home, the copper coins fell over me.

Of course, it's fair to say that they don't give at all.

Chao Gai was responsible for shipping channels, managing officials, suppressing local snakes and other matters.

Gongsun Sheng traveled around, and there were many dead souls under the pine pattern sword.

Liu Tang is responsible for shipping matters in Hebei East Road and other places.

Bai Sheng is responsible for traveling around to get information.

When Wu Yong was exposed to the salt field, everyone became darker and thinner.

But everyone in this group was in high spirits, cheerful, and in an extremely happy mood.

Previously, only Chao Gai was doing well, while the rest had no hope of a future.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have tried to rob the birthday card.

Now everyone is busy with their own affairs, and Chao Gai shares most of the money he earns. Everyone is profitable and naturally feels happy.

Over the past few months, they have strengthened their belief in having in-depth cooperation with Liangshan and even being considered a member of Liangshan.

What stopped them was that after joining Liangshan, they didn't know whether the private salt business was considered public property in Liangshan or still considered a personal business?

"From now on, the King of Heaven can take a broader view and consider more about the production cycle, costs, profits, and sales channels of Liangshan's other goods. Wang Lun smiled and said:"

The private salt business will be left to the King of Heaven no matter what in the future, as long as it does not affect more official affairs." In terms of official business, there will be due remuneration. The leader of Liangshan will have a certain amount of equity in the future. The more Liangshan earns, the more everyone will share!"

Chao Gai's eyes showed a look of surprise.

Liangshan's goods are also in short supply, and various products, including furs and dongzhu obtained from the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, are also in extremely short supply. Every day, caravans come to Shijie Village, Yuncheng County, to inquire about How to purchase various goods in Liangshan... The shortage of goods in Liangshan is obvious. Now Wang Da’s intention is quite obvious: the private salt business can continue, and the previous cooperation content remains unchanged. And Chao Gai can join Liangshan and dominate Liangshan’s trade Si!

Not only Chao Gai was surprised, but also Wu Yong and several others.

In addition to money, the benefits of joining Liangshan are also obvious.

Even the stupidest person can see the current situation. As long as Liangshan continues to develop, the worst outcome will be It is also possible to separate all the Jingdong East Road and a few Jingdong East Road territory.

The imperial court cannot conquer it!

Following Liangshan and Wang Lun, not only will there be financial income, but there will be higher returns in the future.

This is what Chao Gai and others are determined to do. The real reason for joining.

At present, Chao Gai is in front, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng are on the left and right sides, Liu Tang, and Bai Sheng are following behind. The five of them saluted together and said:"Greetings to brother, greetings to the master!"

This is considered a formal joining.

The heroes present also looked happy.

Chao Gai and others have also been famous heroes in the green forest for a long time. Wu Yong is also known as a wise man. But everyone was a little surprised that Wu Yong was appointed. He was promoted to deputy of the Trade Department and became Chao Gai's deputy.

Gongsun Sheng and Han Bolong were promoted to the Protocol Department, while Bai Sheng and Liu Tang were promoted to the Love Department.

Everyone should also participate in the military training in Liangshan, so that they can lead when necessary. Soldiers.

At the same time, they can deeply understand the inner operating mode of Liangshan.

No one is exception to this matter.

Chao Gai and others also understood it and did not contradict it. They were all overjoyed. Gongsun Sheng did not expect that he was directly a fellow soldier. The Protocol Department, he originally felt a bit like a wandering cloud and wild crane, but he had to practice martial arts in the green forest, so he hung out in the green forest. The

Protocol Department is suitable for him. He can travel around and get to know the people in the green forest. At the same time, he can work for Liangshan and complete the training in the green forest. Target.

After all, he is a Taoist priest, so it is not suitable for him to directly lead troops to fight and kill.

Really managing industry and commerce, trade, construction, farming, and fisheries is not suitable for him.

The concierge department is suitable, and his status is not low.

Han Bolong After all, his martial arts skills are not high, and his status and reputation in the green forest are average.

With Gongsun Shengtong promoting the Protocol Department, it will be much easier and calmer to deal with some local tycoons.

The Protocol Department is also a department that Wang Lun has been considering strengthening, and now he has found it. The most suitable candidate

……

Jiang Jing also returned from the south and did a simple accounting of expenditures in Liangshan

"As of June, Liangshan had spent about 2.75 million guan on resettling refugees, dividing fields, building houses, building brick kilns, making farm tools, purchasing cattle, and drafting horses. At the same time, it would continue to invest three Within 2 to 4 months, the number of refugees is expected to exceed one million, and our investment expenditure will reach between 3 million and 4 million yuan before the year."

"At the same time, the Liangshan Army has about 32,000 people, and its monthly daily expenditure is 95,000 guan. Including deployment, garrison, and relocation, the monthly expenses, including salt, vegetables, and grain, reach about 150,000 guan."

"There are more than 7,000 officials in various departments in Liangshan. Daily expenses including school, welfare and pensions, the monthly expenses are about 70,000 guan."

"In less than a month, we have purchased 11,000 war horses, 3,500 cattle, about 110,000 sheep, furs, pearls and other goods from the Realm of the Real People to pay for food, and the freight has reached 700,000 guan , plus the expenses of war horses, cattle and sheep, the total expenditure is 1.3 million guan. This expenditure is expected to reach more than 2 million guan by the end of the year."

There was a hiss of surprise from all around.

Everyone was surprised that Liangshan's expenses were so huge.

The daily expenses of each department plus the army, the monthly expenses have reached more than 220,000 yuan.

That's 2560 yuan a year. Thousands of dollars, this number is already quite huge. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Many people looked shocked.

Some even started to talk aloud.

Is it too harsh to spend money? , too fast?

Looking at the crowd, Wang Lun smiled and said:"Liangshan's army has more than 30,000 people, and its combat strength exceeds 200,000 officers and soldiers. However, the Song Dynasty has an annual income of 80 million guan, and the cost of raising troops is 50 million guan. They raised What? We have 300,000 people. The cost of raising troops is calculated as 2 million guan per month, which is only more than 20 million guan per year. If we have 600,000 people, the cost is the same as that of the Song Dynasty, but the combat power is completely different. There is a huge difference.. Our officials are small and capable. What 7,000 people can do cannot be done well and cannot be done by 70,000 people. Our expenses are already extremely economical. As for the resettlement of the refugees, the money involved is several million gu, but in the future, there will be continuous harvests of millions of acres of land. It is conservatively estimated that starting from this autumn, we will be able to earn at least about 3 million gu in food. Next year, at least It’s six million stones! Most of the money invested has been returned! In our trade with the Kingdom of Jin, war horses are something we urgently need, as are cattle and sheep. As for furs, pearls and other goods, the Trade Department sells them at a higher price, which can more than offset the cost of purchasing war horses. It is also a business that is sure to make a profit. Well, Brother Jiang, keep talking."

Jiang Jing also looked at the many leaders present and said with a smile:"What the boss said is that every penny invested in Liangshan must be rewarded. As far as the construction department is concerned, the investment is about 150,000 yuan per month. But so far, the funds recovered from salt and various goods have exceeded 5 million yuan, and this is all profit! In addition, we are confident that we can sell Liaodong goods at high prices, and wealthy merchants from all over the world are extremely interested in these goods. Adding these two together, we are confident that our monthly net income will exceed 600,000 yuan! In addition, the monthly safe money and management fees have exceeded 400,000 yuan, and our stable monthly income has reached more than one million yuan. If the trade profits are more, we will increase the investment in the construction department and obtain more trade returns.. In addition, Dadangjia also considers more products to obtain more profit returns!"

Chao Gai looked a little dazed.

In the past few months, he had earned more than 100,000 yuan.

Even if he divided it among his brothers, his income had exceeded his net income in previous years. He was originally very satisfied.

But now after listening to Jiang Jing's summary...

Only then did I realize that my own potential is just like playing tricks compared to Liangshan.

No wonder the boss doesn't take his scattered copper coins seriously.

Liangshan's current income has exceeded tens of millions! It will increase further!

Moreover, the stable income of several million stones of grain a year will continue to increase!

This income level... is already close to more than one-third of that of the Song Dynasty! 290

The Song Dynasty has eight hundred military states and two Thousands of counties!

"correct……"Jiang Jing then laughed and said:"We haven't counted the extra income in the past two months! We have confiscated all the wealthy gentry in dozens of counties in seven states: Ji, Yun, Mi, Qi, Qing, Lai, and Deng, and directly confiscated their money. More than 2 million guan, the land is 3 million acres, the land purchased at a discount or at a fair price is more than 3 million gu, and the cost is more than 6 million guan. This money is the confiscated income and the accumulation of more than half a year, not counting In the second half of the year, we will continue to conduct inventory, confiscation and redemption, and ultimately control more than 30 million acres of land in seven states, with an annual income of more than 10 million dan!"

Wang Lun's land policy is actually That is, everything is controlled by the public, and the fields are divided into households, and then grains are collected according to households.[]

The burden is actually not light.

But it depends on who you compare with.

Compared with the Song Dynasty court, Liangshan's collection amount can be said to be extremely low. For the people, it was easy and pleasant to pay taxes on all their food.

The imperial court seemed to control a large territory and more land.

But a large number of gentry, officials, and wealthy families controlled a large amount of land.

They did not pay taxes or perform corvee labor, passing these burdens on to the yeoman farmers and tenant farmers.

As a result, numerous miscellaneous taxes appeared. The imperial court used this method to plunder the common people to enrich the national treasury, and then used this method to plunder the poor people.The money collected was then distributed in large quantities to numerous and corrupt officials, as well as an almost useless army.

The extremely complex official system of stacked beds and frame houses, the army with extremely poor civil and military control, and all kinds of messy expenses and miscellaneous expenses constituted the three redundancies and two accumulations of the Northern Song Dynasty.

In contrast, Liangshan's high efficiency and clear system completely caused a dimensionality reduction blow to the financial status of the Northern Song Dynasty.

On the surface, it seems that people generally have to hand over at least 40% of their net income, but in fact, all people under the rule of Liangshan have a huge burden relieved, at least more than half.

This means that ordinary people can have a full stomach after paying for food and meet the minimum standard needs, that is: food and clothing!

After having enough food and clothing, due to the developed industry and commerce under Liangshan, there were many opportunities. People worked during the off-season, and with the income they could buy some furniture, farm tools, and clothing. They could also afford to see ordinary doctors and buy medicines to satisfy their needs for food and clothing. The demand on the world is: well-off!

Wang Lun felt that it was quite good that his administration could reach such standards.

If we can rule the entire Song Dynasty in the future, as well as Xixia, the Western Regions, Mobei, Liaodong, and Nanzhao... we can generally achieve the goal of providing for the elderly and educating the children, and the world will be well-off, and then straighten out the military and political system...

I will also It's not a waste of time to travel through this time, it can truly and profoundly change the world.

I hope so... and must be so!.
