Chapter 203: Merchant Protectors

"Bang!" Guan Tianpei slapped his palm on the chair coffee table, and the teacups jumped up, Deng Tingzhen and Yi Zhishu jumped in their hearts, and they heard him scold loudly: "What nonsense!" ”

Deng Tingzhen hurriedly said: "Contentment cannot be presumptuous. After a pause, he continued: "The sailor is arresting the crow. It is true that there are acts of smuggling, overt investigation and covert indulging, and soliciting benefits, but they are before Guan Junmen takes office, and since Guan Junmen took office, he has strictly enforced military discipline and strictly banned crows. The piece of smuggling, the sailor up and down, has a new look. ”

"Please stop the anger of the military gate." Yi Zhisuff arched his hand, and said without being arrogant or humble: "It's just telling the truth below, I have asked the two adults to forgive my sins before, since I am against the ear, I don't say it in the next." As he spoke, he stood up, glanced at Deng Tingzhen, and said, "200,000 yuan, and the silver ticket will be sent to the Governor's Mansion tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he bowed to the two of them and said, "Retire below." ”

"Wait." Guan Tianpei said: "How to improve the probability of hitting the battery artillery?" ”

Yi Zhizhi bowed and said: "Back to the army, practice makes perfect, just practice more." ”

Seeing his casual perfunctory, Guan Tianpei glared at him and said, "Believe it or not, this governor sends troops to invite you every day?" ”

"Go back to the military gate." Yi Zhizhi said: "The emperor has a decree to build the Foshan-Guangzhou Railway with Yuanqi for the imperial court to investigate, and the surveyors of the Citigroup Railway Company have arrived in Guangzhou, and they will be urged to survey the construction route of the Fozhou-Guangzhou Railway along the line in the next few days, not in Xiguan." ”

"You—." Guan Tianpei was speechless for a while, pointed at him, and said, "What a gut! ”

Hearing him carry out the construction of the railway as a shield, Deng Tingzhen couldn't help but smile, this kid has a temper. It's really not suitable for mixing in officialdom. He reached out and pressed it twice. Said: "Contented and slow, sit down first." ”

Yi Zhizhi is content but doesn't want to bother anymore, there is a way that there are more than three sentences of speculation, and it is not interesting to talk about it, he still remembers to go to the temple fair, to see those daughters, and immediately bowed down and said: "What else do the two adults have to ask, I still stand and reply." ”

Seeing his attitude, it was obvious that he was angry. Deng Tingzhen couldn't help but glance at Guan Tianpei, and didn't speak again, he used more places to be content, but he didn't want to stiffen the relationship.

Guan Tianpei didn't want to let Yi Zhizhi go, he built more forts and added artillery, he has been doing it one after another, raising silver before, but it didn't go so smoothly, it was the thirteen lines. It took a lot of time to take out 50,000 yuan, but this kid is rich. 200,000 yuan, without blinking an eye, gave it out, and dared to bet with him with one million, if he fully supported it, the combat readiness of the sailor will be greatly improved, seeing that Deng Tingzhen was silent, he had to put down the shelf, stretched out his hand and greeted: "You kid is a donkey?" Sit down and talk back. ”

Of course, Yi Zhixiang didn't want to make the relationship so stiff after giving out the money, so he immediately got off the donkey, sat down and said: "The sound of the military gate is powerful, and the momentum is compelling, and I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand the anger of the military gate." ”

"Don't get angry." Guan Tianpei sat up straight and said, "You really don't have confidence in the officers and soldiers of the Navy Division?" ”

"I have confidence in the military gate, but I really don't have confidence in the officers and soldiers of the water division." Yi Zhicontent said unabashedly: "As far as I know, the Guangdong Navy patrol ship receives 36,000 taels of silver per month, and the smuggling barge is allowed to enter the gate, which is regulated silver, and there are those who specially escort the smugglers and personally participate in the smuggling, how much silver do you have to earn this year?"

After Guan Junmen took office, he reorganized the battalion, drilled the soldiers, and built the fort, which is obvious to all. The price of the film has risen in recent years, but it has fallen a lot. ”

Guan Tianpei was inexplicable when he heard it, and couldn't help but say: "Wait, the crows in Guangzhou City. If the price of the film does not rise, what does it have to do with the sailor camp? ”

Deng Tingzhen's face was a little unsightly, his face was gloomy and silent, Yi Zhizhi smiled contentmently, and said, "Crow. Piece smuggling is directly related to crows in the city of Guangzhou. The price of the slice is strictly checked for smuggling, crows. If the inflow is small, the price will rise, and if the inflow is large, the price will fall. ”

"These bastards!" Guan Tian Peiteng stood up immediately.

"Zhong Yin is a little restless." Deng Tingzhen hurriedly said: "This matter involves a wide range of issues, and it will affect the whole body, and if you are not careful, it may lead to a mutiny, and first listen to what is the way to be content." ”

"Shift the guard." Yi Zhizhi said: "The officers and soldiers of the Xiangshan Association, the Shunde Association and other associations. ”

"It's useless." Deng Tingzhen said: "Every year, the defense is changed, and it is the same when it is exchanged." ”

Hearing this, Yi Zhi's heart jumped, this is a rare opportunity! After a slight groan, he said, "Can you recruit another one?" ”

"Recruit separately?" Guan Tianpei shook his head and said, "Not to mention that the green battalion has low salaries, it is difficult to recruit, and it is not easy to dismiss the registered soldiers. ”

"What about forming a team or recruiting volunteers?"

"It's doable." Deng Tingzhen said and looked at Yi Zhicontent, and said, "The recruitment costs and expenses should be borne by Yuan Qi?" ”

"Yes, I didn't say it." Easy to be content with the simple way.

"It doesn't cost much silver." Guan Tianpei said with a smile: "200,000 a year is enough." ”

"Two hundred thousand?"

Guan Tianpei said: "It's enough to recruit 10,000 volunteers." ”

"Okay." Yi Zhishu nodded and said, "I'll give another 100,000, recruit 5,000 first, how about it?" ”

"Refreshing!" Guan Tianpei said with a smile: "In the future, if Yuan Qi has something to do, he will inform the governor." ”

"Thank you first." Yi Zhizu said and looked at Deng Tingzhen, and said: "The coinage machine has been shipped, Yuanqi is preparing to build a mint, and besides, Yuanqi's silver is flowing in the local government and county, and it needs to be escorted, can you form a merchant protection group?" ”

"Merchant Protectors?" Deng Tingzhen said: "How big is the scale?" ”

"Five hundred, I want to be armed with muskets."

"Muskets?" Guan Tianpei said: "Buy from Citi merchants? ”

"Not bad."

"Good boy, you've been waiting for us here for a long time." Guan Tianpei pointed at him and said with a smile: "What kind of merchant group, don't embarrass Lord Deng, just hang it in the name of Yiyong, but you have to give this governor five hundred muskets." ”

Yi Zhisuff smiled: "Don't take advantage of the fire to rob like this." ”

"Hahaha, that's it." Guan Tianpei smiled happily: "Isn't contentment going to Humen, this governor will personally accompany you to inspect." ”

"Not today, I'll visit Guan Junmen another day." Yi Zhizhi said, and Deng Tingzhen, who saw it, brought tea and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.

After Yi Zhizhi left the room, Deng Tingzhen looked at Guan Tianpei and said, "The five hundred merchant guards are all equipped with muskets, how can Zhong Yin come down so rashly?" ”

"Is Lord Ministries still worried that Yuan Qi will not make trouble?" Guan Tianpei said disapprerovitically: "Yuanqi semicolons are all over the whole province of Guangdong, and there are more than five hundred people, how many can be distributed to each province?" Besides, if there is an incident, the dismissal is not a matter of words, and the lord of the ministry can rest assured that he will be beaten in the end. (To be continued.) )
