Chapter 098: Recruiting Soldiers

Guo Ke cleared his throat and said, "Ju Fenglong hopes that from now on, we will deposit the public money allocated to us by the imperial court into their silver trumpet, and they will pay interest to our Governor's Mansion at the market price." What is the purpose of the public money, Cui Changshi should be clear, right? ”

"Yes!"

Cui Geng borrowed usury from Shi Wu Gongyi back then, how could he not understand the meaning of public money?

Because the Governor's Mansion in various places belongs to the government military system, that is to say, whether it is military salaries, grain and grass, or war horses and weapons, it must be solved by the Governor's Mansion on the spot. One of the ways to solve the problem is the sponsorship of the local wealthy families, the funding of the local state government, and the last is that the imperial court allocates a certain amount of public money every year, so that they can make money to solve the problem.

The security and stability of the Governor's Mansion is stable, so for the safety of their own lives, the wealthy families naturally have to pay a little money to share a little for the imperial court, and they will sponsor a little silver money to the local Governor's Mansion every year. In the same way, the state government will also allocate a part of the annual revenue to the governor's office.

As for the imperial court, it regularly allocates money to the public every year, so that the governor's mansion can invest on its own, and the money will make money, and then the army.

The treatment of government soldiers is very different from that of border guards. The border guards, the treatment of the people is quite good, not to mention that the soldiers' salaries are higher than those of the government soldiers, and the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass will go first. All food, wages, soldiers, horses, weapons and armor were all solved by the imperial court.

According to Guo Ke's current establishment of the Governor's Mansion, the imperial court will allocate about 10,000 yuan every year, and the rest will be solved by the local big households and the yamen of the state capital.

According to the unspoken rules of the governor's mansions in various places, the local big families and the yamen of the state capital can provide them with the most basic military salaries, grain, grass, weapons and armor, and even war horses. The public money of the imperial court will be used by the Governor's Mansion for investment, such as usury, or secretly smuggling some salt and iron minerals in the name of the Governor's Mansion. The money earned is mainly used to replace weapons and horses, or pensions for soldiers who died in battle, etc.

At present, Cao Yuechan's second condition is to let Guo Ke deposit the public money allocated by the imperial court every year into Jufenglong, and pay the interest of the Duweifu every year.

After Guo Ke heard Cao Yuechan get this condition, he immediately understood that Cao Yuechan didn't care about the 10,000 yuan allocated to him by the imperial court at all, otherwise why would people save 10,000 yuan, and then lend him 20,000 yuan without interest?

Cao Yuechan's purpose is nothing more than to make a gimmick with the Duwei Mansion and tell the world, you see that the Duwei Mansion is willing to deposit the silver into our Jufenglong, what else are you worried about?

You must know that it was because Hu Zeyi, under the planning of Cui Geng and others, agreed to deposit the annual tax silver of the county government into Jufenglong.

Because of this, the number of depositors who came to Ju Hong Leong suddenly increased sharply when it stagnated in the later period.

Now that the Qingyuan County Government is gone, it means that there is one less advertising gimmick. Jufenglong can only find another one.

At the moment, the newly established Orichong Governor's Mansion is the most suitable target.

It's no wonder that Cui Geng was so shocked when he saw the contract signed by Guo Ke yesterday, in this era, if you want to give depositors confidence, it is not that you have a thick storefront, but that you must tie the official family together. After all, today's government, the imperial court, and even the imperial power, in the eyes of the people, that is the guarantee of credibility.

Cui Geng even believes that as long as the news of the Duwei Mansion also depositing the public money into Jufenglong reaches Putian, then the Putian branch that will be opened will not have to worry about whether it can attract depositors at all.

Similarly, pulling the Duweifu to the chariot of Jufenglong can also allow Jufenglong to use the tiger skin of the Duweifu to reduce the covetousness and trouble in the two counties of Putian and Qingyuan.

Cao Yuechan, a woman's business sense, is really too keen!

Cui Geng sighed heartily.

"What? Why didn't Cui Changshi say a word? ”

Guo Ke saw that Cui Geng was speechless for a long time, and asked with a slight frown: "Cui Changshi has different views on the two conditions signed by Captain Bendu?" ”

Cui Geng responded, shook his head, and said, "No, no, Xia Guan has no other opinions." ”

"Well, you don't have an opinion!"

Guo Ke raised his sword eyebrows and said proudly: "That is, Captain Bendu, hum, if you want to change to someone else, you want to borrow 20,000 yuan from Miss Cao for nothing with two innocuous conditions, I'm afraid it will be difficult to ascend to the sky!" Isn't there just two conditions, it's just Captain Bendu's effort! ”

Wipe!

Two conditions that don't matter?

Cui Geng's teeth were sour for a while, big brother, do you know how valuable the two conditions you promised are to businessmen? If you change to Wu Gongli's Tianshun Money Village, if you agree to him, I'm afraid that this will force you to dig out the funeral goods in the ancestral grave, with the Wu family's family background over the years, even if you borrow him 100,000 yuan, he can pawn the pants and make it up for you, I'm afraid that he won't let you pay back the silver in order to pat your ass, okay?

If you can't bear these two conditions, as soon as you accept Wu Gongli, he can bring the half-dead Tianshun Qianzhuang back to life!

Guo Ke, the son, really doesn't know the hardships of private businessmen!

However, now it is completely cheaper than Jufenglong, and indirectly cheaper for Cui Geng.

"Okay, as the long history of the Governor's Mansion, this matter is reported to you!"

After Guo Ke symbolically dismissed a sentence, he suddenly remembered that there was another matter, so he asked: "By the way, how is the matter of recruiting soldiers for you?" ”

"Oh, this is already in progress, my lord, wait a minute~"

Cui Geng shouted loudly in the courtyard of the Changshi Hall: "Song Genhai, Song Genhai, come over quickly!" ”

"Come on!"

Song Genhai came out of the horn of the horn, ran over, and met Guo Ke and Cui Geng according to the courtesy.

Cui Geng asked, "How did I explain to you yesterday?" ”

Song Genhai raised a piece of paper in his hand, which was full of dense names, and said: "These people on the list are all the third-class officials in the original county government, young and strong miscellaneous officers, and those who draw circles, all agree to join the government as soldiers. Excluding those who are old, I have recruited some thugs from the street, about a hundred people! ”

Cui Geng sighed, pulled his fingers, and said, "Well, then recruit for two more days, it is estimated that it will be full." ”

Guo Ke on the side instantly turned black and said in surprise: "What? You even recruited you into the house even on the street? ”

"Uh-huh!"

Cui Geng nodded his head heavily, and said: "The gangsters are so brave and ruthless, it is just right to recruit into the mansion, it is better than old arms and legs, and it is better to breathe for half a day after running two steps, right?" Besides, let's take in the splashes on the streets, isn't that also to remove the cancer in Qingyuan City, so that the street hawkers and stall owners and various shops can do business in peace! How good is it to kill two birds with one stone? ”

Guo Ke was furious: "Bastard, your military mansion as the captain of Bendu is a place for scoundrels to be refuted?" ”

Cui Geng hurriedly laughed and said, "My lord, you have a good way of governing the army, and you are still worried that you can't tame these gangsters?" ”

"Hehe, Cui Changshi is agitating the general?"

Guo Ke said proudly: "Don't say that these pimpled gangsters are the prisoners in the prison, and Captain Bendu has the confidence to tame them into obedience. As long as Captain Bendu trains them for half a year, he will ensure that they are all reborn and all of them are like tigers out of the cage! ”

"Okay, Lord Lieutenant is awesome, it's so domineering!"

Cui Geng gave a thumbs up and praised Guo Ke fiercely, then patted Song Genhai on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, listen to Lord Duwei, and if there are any soldiers who have not been recruited, we will pick them from the South Prison." I remember that the big bull seems to be still in the southern prison! ”

With that, Cui Geng grabbed Song Genhai's shoulders and fled out of the Governor's Mansion.

Guo Ke: "......"

When I wanted to retract what I just said, it was obviously too late!
