Chapter 109: Busy

Zhang Han went out, as long as he looked at him, he came to see him, now Zhang Han is already a well-known signboard in Xinping Fort, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren are in the fort, even if it is from Puzhou, it has long been diluted, and Yusheng is already a large merchant in the castle under the leadership of Zhang Han, and it is also very famous in Datong and Shanxi, the businessmen in the fort went out to say that they knew Zhang Dongzhu, that is also a face-saving thing with gold on the face, Zhang Han is not in the fort for a while, it doesn't matter, as soon as he sees him, everyone has to rush forward and give up their hands. They all have flattering smiles on their faces.

Fortunately, with Jiang Kui and others guarding, Zhang Han also kept returning the salute, with a smile on his face, and when he entered the mule and horse shop, the smile on his face was a step, and he rubbed his face with both hands and said: "It's really not easy, tell the Wang Changpole inside and them, hurry up and get the carriage out for me." ”

Someone next to him responded with a smile, Zhang Han first made a tiger face, and then laughed himself.

The current four-** car is actually improved a lot of details, such as the steering axle and fixtures between the first two wheels and the horse, and the wheels, the workmanship of the small rotating axle is not in place, and the weight of the carriage has not increased much, and it is still easy to be damaged.

This kind of technological innovation can only be done step by step, and it will take a few months to make a fully qualified Western-style carriage with the guidance of later generations, which is a fool's dream.

It's very difficult to draw the wire, and then it becomes a spring, and then it fits with the wheel body, and I really don't know how long it will take.

Rubber tires Zhang Han didn't dare to think about it, this is really not something that can be solved now.

Steam engine, car, it's even more difficult, Zhang Han didn't finish junior high school, this is his shortcoming, if he is a college student in science and engineering, maybe he can really make things, but he uses all his energy in business, these things really don't understand.

To put it another way, if Zhang Han had gone to college and had not been rolling in the business sea for more than ten years, he might have a different scene after crossing over, life would be like a rushing river, and any fork would have a completely different result.

Wang Changfu rushed over when he heard the news, Liang Xing and Wang Yikui, Li Laibin and others stood beside him, Zhang Han looked at everyone and said, "Talking in the official room." ”

"Yes, proprietor."

Everyone agreed, and their expressions became serious, even when they walked, in an orderly manner.

When he arrived in the house, Zhang Han sat down first, and everyone sat down in turn, Wang Changfu said: "Owner, this month, we have recruited a total of thirty-seven people from Jizhen and Xuanfu, Datong, as well as Yansui, Guyuan and other towns, and all places have arranged people to recruit, but these people are still difficult to find after all, if there are a few more months, I am afraid that we can still recruit thirty or fifty, and if there are more, we can only take our time." ”

Zhang Han nodded and said, "This has exceeded my expectations, Changfu, you still work hard." ”

Wang Changfu hasn't been in much care about training recently, he has a few deputies who have gradually grown up, and he has also added the title of team leader, and he has taken several times more than the annual salary, and he is very attentive to his work, Zhang Han and Wang Changfu observed coldly for a while, and found that whether it is physical fitness or queue, or internal affairs, these deputies can practice very well, only the golden drum banner and the array battle, these things are not veterans If they are not veterans, it is difficult to figure out in the short term, Wang Changfu formulated a drill plan for this point, and when he was not at home, he mainly practiced physical fitness and lined up, At the same time, strengthen housekeeping, something else, and practice it when he is at home.

In fact, this practice method of Xinpingbao dart shop has become famous, and there are quite a few owners who are interested in opening accounts and dart shops want to dig Wang Changfu in the past, but Wang Changfu also ignored it, not to mention that Zhang Han is not thin on him, and he has taken a lot of silver, even if the things on the detailed rules have been perfected by Zhang Han, he knows in his heart that there is no proprietor, and his fart is not counted, just a veteran with some experience, such a person does not say that in the entire nine sides, Even Xinpingbao is a big handful.

"In a moment, I will show the people to the proprietor." Wang Changfu followed: "The net worth is innocent, according to what the proprietor said, it is best for the family to move here, and they have done it, and they have not been a deserter, they are all under thirty-five and above twenty-five, and the one who does not collect the least at night has been for seven years." I've been tested...... It's not bad. ”

Wang Yikui laughed sullenly, and when he saw Zhang Han looking at him, he had to say: "Wang Dutou has passed several exams, but it turned out that there are people who are better than him, and then he simply didn't take the exam." ”

Zhang Han also smiled when he heard this, Wang Changfu glared at Wang Yikui, and said in a sullen voice: "These dogs' skills are really first-class, this is also the main thing in the east, if it weren't for these requirements, we wouldn't have recruited only a few people." ”

There are at least a few thousand people in the night of the nine sides, and Xinpingbao entrusts the head snake everywhere to help recruit people, if the conditions are more relaxed, I am afraid that hundreds of people can be recruited in more than a month. The treatment in the army is not as good as a day, and there is food and clothing before, if you cut off the head of the northern captives and come back with a reward, or simply go to rob the northern captives, rob the horse bandits are all successful, these dry night and sharp whistles are typical outlaws, at least they are also brave people, in the first time Huang Taiji entered the customs of the war, Shaanxi and Shanxi all over the night did not collect and the border army together with the king, as a result, the household did not give the military food and salary, the soldiers fled, many did not collect the night also fled into the rogue, becoming the backbone of it.

At this time, there are still some afterglow of the sunset, and the people who do not collect at night will not be coerced into exile or even rebel, but the treatment of the entire border army has been very low, and the sharp whistles and night guards are not much better, the hungry eyes of the old and young at home are green, the monthly military salary is either dragged or owed, and the military food issued is mostly moldy or mixed with sand and gravel of old rice and bad grain, the border army from northern Shaanxi to northern Shanxi, in the following ten years, there are a lot of people who sell their sons and daughters and even call their wives as secret prostitutes, even so, the northwest frontier defense is still unbreakable, and most of the border troops did not go to be rogues, There are few mutinies, compared to the Liaodong Army, which is good at selling teammates and long-distance running with huge salaries, the Northwest Frontier Army is right.

"The conditions must not be relaxed." Zhang Han picked up the list and looked at it, and said to everyone: "Good spirits don't rot, we don't want to pull the team to rebel, we want a reliable dart master, and they may go out with the team in the future, so the more and less good players who don't collect at night and can ride and shoot, but at most there are only a few hundred people, not more than a thousand, let's recruit hundreds of people at once, what kind of movement is this, call people to report to the court, let people catch the eyes, slaughter our fat sheep?" ”

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Wang Changfu said again: "Are all these thirty or so people following?" ”

Zhang Han muttered: "This time it's just to meet, and it's not to fight, the best people in the night don't pick five people to follow, the old brother Liang Xing picks a few, Changfu you stay at home, continue to pick people and manage the drill, Liang Xing and Li Dongxue follow me, as well as my cousin, Lingqiu also has a few people to go together the day after tomorrow, adding up to no more than fifteen people, not more than twenty people at most, this is not too conspicuous, we will carry some valuable goods with us, in case there is anything wrong, it can be said to be out of the jam smuggling." ”

Liang Xing turned up and said, "I'll do this immediately." ”

The people present were all Zhang Han's henchmen, and the smuggling outside the counterpart could already be launched quickly, and Zhang Han had already revealed a lot of people at these levels, and as he expected, everyone did not have too much resistance.

Next, Zhang Han had to summon the directors of the treasury and various warehouses to verify the actual situation through the previous reports, and he had to ask these people to accompany him around the place.

The head of the bank is Yang Shiming, this is the old man of He Yusheng, who was transferred from the old store to use it, and his ability is average, but he is credible. The people at the bottom are also used by the dart master who was born as a tiger and a porter, and the rules here are the strictest, even if Zhang Han comes in, he must report the procedures, and he has to take inventory every month, and it is not possible to lose a single ingot of silver, and the books and current accounts must also be approved, and there can be no deviation.

"Even so," Yang Qiu said with a sneer: "There are still people who have the idea of making money, last month, last month, they all found out the people they wanted to take with them." ”

Jiang Kui said casually on the side: "How are the people?" ”

"The corpse floated out of the river, and now it is estimated that it has been burned early."

"It's really a man who dies for money......"

Yang Shiming held the account book in his hand, his face was a little embarrassed, he couldn't do these things, he didn't even want to hear them.

"Don't mention it." Zhang Han smiled: "Old Yang, you continue to talk about yours." ”

"Yes......" Yang Shiying swallowed his saliva and continued: "Most of our current silver deposits are in the Tianyi warehouse, this library is one hundred and eighty steps from north to south, fifty steps from east to west, and about 500,000 taels of silver can be stored, and more than 51,300 taels have been deposited at present, these are ten taels to fifty taels of big silver ingots, and the No. 1 inventory is broken silver, all of which are less than five taels, more than one penny, these are mostly the income of mules and horses, and they are summarized and solved from all over the country every month, a total of more than 13,000 taels, all wrapped in mulberry paper and collected. These broken silver are often useful, so they are not used to smelt into silver ingots, and when there are more, they will take out 10,000 and melt them, and the second stock is copper coins, a string of 1,000 coins, and now there are more than 3,000 strings, and there are not many copper coins, and they are only a small pile in the corner......

Zhang Han nodded when he listened, and then went to see it himself.

The warehouse of the first day of the warehouse is the same as the rest of the warehouse, the bottom foundation is stone, and then the huge green bricks are built all the way, there is only a vent, there is no window, the door is tall and heavy, wrapped with iron sheets, the fire prevention work is in place, after pushing the door open, Zhang Han only glanced at it and left, the silver light was shining inside, countless silver ingots were placed on the shelf, it was shining and emitting silver light, behind Zhang Han, there was a grunting sound of swallowing saliva.

"I'll make a note in a while," Zhang Han said as he walked: "Li Er's cabinet and the rest of the grain collection places must be strengthened, this silver is just a dead thing, and buying finished goods is the capital to make money." ”
