Chapter 059: It turned out that he had become a little rich
"General."
Just as Liu Xing was helplessly looking at the direction of Yang Ling'er's childhood, a figure flashed out of the side yard. The figure snorted lightly and walked quickly in front of Liu Xing.
After getting closer, Liu Xing looked at the person and said with a smile: "Su Quan, I heard that you are very good at women, I want to ask you, how can you let a woman not be bound by etiquette and accept your feelings?" ”
Hearing this, Su Dong's cousin, who is also the head of miscellaneous affairs such as the hunter Gu Caibo, was stunned, shook his head and said: "My subordinates are just good at Qinglou**, I believe that the general you will not be so attentive for the Qinglou woman." So, please forgive your subordinates for not being able to help you. ”
The reason why Su Quan said this is because since Liu Xing brought people into the valley, even three-year-old children in the valley have already known that Yang Ling'er is Liu Xing's favorite woman. But everyone in the valley also heard from Wan Yafei, Sun Yujiang and others that Yang Ling'er was a woman with a marriage contract and a general's background, and it was impossible to accept Liu Xing when there was a marriage contract.
In the era of the second year of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty was not like the Southern Song Dynasty and was rigidly bound by Cheng Zhuli's thoughts, from the monarch to the Li people.
However, the traditional moral constraints are actually far more difficult to break than Cheng Zhu's science. In this era, it is not a big deal for a woman to remarry after losing her father and becoming a survivor. However, if you break the contract unmarried, you will be spurned and despised by the world.
It is precisely because of this deep understanding that Su Quan chose an answer mode that seems to be useless, but in fact very cleverly avoids sensitive points.
After saying that he couldn't help in the relationship between men and women, Su Quan immediately smiled and said, "But my cousin has already explained to his subordinates before leaving, and before you determine the new head of Changchun Garden, let your subordinates continue to act as the head of charge for the time being." Here are all the accounts in the valley, please look at them. ”
As he spoke, Su Quan handed the thick stack of account books in his hand to Liu Xing.
Looking at the thick account book, Liu Xing did not stretch to pick it up, but retreated into the door and said: "I don't like to manage the accounts, you just need me to talk about the use and balance in our valley regularly." ”
"Okay, then the subordinate will tell you briefly."
also knew that Liu Xing liked to act concisely and clearly, Su Quan didn't say anything, and said: "There are a total of 180 shops in the 18th lane of the 9th Street in the valley, all of which are the properties of Changchun Garden. Eighteen ingots of silver are earned from monthly rent. The rice grain village, salt shop, blacksmith workshop, antique treasure number, quality warehouse and money village directly operated by the valley lord's mansion have a monthly income of about 60 ingots of silver. The old valley owner was afraid that the copper and iron money of the officials outside the valley would fall in value, so the valley only traded in gold and silver, and our money bank was the largest part of these incomes. ”
"How much can this money support the military expenses of the horses?" With less than eighty ingots of silver per month, Liu Xing was immediately a little unhappy when he heard it, and said secretly in his heart: Only eighty ingots of silver, that is, eight hundred taels of silver, how many people's military salaries can be paid? If there is less money, what will the master take to raise soldiers.
As if he had guessed the intention of Liu Xing's words, Su Quan smiled lightly: "Don't worry, the valley master has five hundred brothers in the Hunter Valley, and they don't need to pay salaries. Because the fields and orchards on the West Mountain and the North Mountain were leased to them free of charge by the old valley owner. In addition, the old valley owner has long been trafficking sea salt from the seaside of Hebei to Hedong and other places, and when transporting salt, he will also give 20% of the profit to his brothers, so the general does not need to worry about not having money to pay the salary. ”
"You mean, the previous valley lords still took their brothers to do the private salt business?" Hearing this, Liu Xing smiled slightly, and asked evilly, "Then how much can we make from the private salt business in a month?" How much gold and silver have you saved now? ”
"Before the old valley master left, we went to smuggle salt once every half a month. We are only responsible for the transshipment, and we can make a net profit of between 240 and 300 yuan per stone of salt. We can transfer up to 1,600 koku at the highest and 800 koku at the lowest. After years of accumulation, there are now 3,000 ingots of silver and 600 ingots of gold in the secret vault in the back garden. Su Quan said this, and stopped and breathed back.
Hearing that there was so much gold and silver in reserve, Liu Xing was overjoyed, and said: "Ten taels of ingots, that is to say, with the gold and silver we brought from outside the valley, the treasury in the valley now has a total of 60,000 taels of silver and 12,000 taels of gold?" ”
Nodding heavily, Su Quan said, "Yes, it is indeed this number." ”
Knowing how much money he had here, Liu Xing couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and secretly thought: I'm going to go! 60,000 taels of silver, 12,000 taels of gold, the master has so much money, he can be regarded as a little rich. With so much gold and silver, the master just recruited troops and horses, and rushed out of the valley when the soldiers were strong and strong. Hehe, it's not difficult to worship the marquis, why bother to be a mortal again......
Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly suppressed his smile and asked instead, "How much iron is there in the valley?" And how much grain and grass, salt from their own reserves, and weapons? ”
Frowning slightly and thinking for a while, Su Quan immediately replied: "General Hui, there is enough iron in the valley, enough to build 30,000 pairs of iron armor. There are also many copper materials, which can make 150,000 copper coins. The grain and grass are enough for 10,000 people to use for a year, and the salt stored in the salt warehouse can be eaten by 10,000 people for half a year. ”
Gasping for air, Liu Xing couldn't help but lose his voice and said, "Oh my God! It turns out that when we look at this inconspicuous Hunter Valley, it is so rich! Thank you San Lang Jun, thank you San Lang Xian Jun! ”
As he spoke, Liu Xing turned around and bowed down in the southwest direction, and continued: "Xianjun actually gave me all this great family business, and if he smashes the Yellow Dragon in the future, he will set up Xianjun temples all over the world, so that Xianjun can enjoy the world's incense offerings forever." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Liu Xing got up and looked back at Su Quan, and said with a new straight face: "One hundred and eighty shops on the street, does it mean that all the shops on the street that we walk on both sides of the street are the property of the public treasury?" ”
Nodding, Su Quan said: "Yes, it's not just the properties of those shops on the street. Ninety percent of the properties in the valley are owned by Changchun Garden. The families who live there do not need to pay rent, and it has been the rule for many years to farm and not pay grain. ”
Now I understand, it turns out that the hunter Gu Zhen was turned into a paradise by playing Saburo. There is no rent for farming, and no money for housing, which is a bit like a situation that will only exist under a certain system in later generations, no wonder the people in the valley are so united.
Thoroughly understanding that the Hunter Valley is as strong as it is today because of the internal system, Liu Xing lowered his head and thought about it and said, "When I rescue the little seed Xianggong, the valley needs to be rebuilt." Although the wooden buildings and wooden houses are noble, in case the formation of the immortal monarch on the plank road is destroyed, it only takes a fire attack after rushing into the valley. The hard work of the Immortal Monarch over the years and the homes of the brothers will be destroyed in one fell swoop! ”
"Remodeling?" Hearing this, Su Quan was suddenly confused, looked at Liu Xing with wandering eyes and asked, "Why do you want to rebuild?" The old valley master's immortal method has never been broken for so many years! If it is a large-scale reconstruction, first, it will cost a lot of money to build a large number of buildings. Second, once the renovation starts, the store cannot be operated, which will also affect the income and daily expenses of Changchun Garden! ”
With a faint smile, Liu Xing looked up at him: "Don't worry, I know it." When I get married, the renovation will not only not affect our normal income, but will also make it more prosperous. ”
"The valley master, the shopkeeper and craftsman of the seven carpentry houses have arrived."
Just as Su Quan was about to say something, Wan Yafei's voice came from the courtyard gate. Before he could finish speaking, he led dozens of people into the courtyard.
After glancing around the faces of the people who walked into the courtyard with Wan Yafei, Liu Xing said coldly to them: "Everyone, I have something to ask for today, and I hope you will help." But today, without my orders, no one should give me the method of making the artifact that I will ask you to help me make later. Otherwise, there will be no mercy! ”
Hundreds of horsemen under Taiyuan City broke thousands of golden soldiers, and Lei Gong ** killed the enemy in Taiyuan City. Outside Wutai City, cast a spell to break the enemy's large array of Earth Demon generals. Liu Xing's achievements along the way have made the carpenter, and even the people of the whole valley already regard Liu Xing as a god of war in their hearts.
Such a general who is a god of war who is good at fighting and effective, said "no mercy" in front of them, and the carpenters and shopkeepers couldn't help but shudder.
Seeing that everyone was frightened, Liu Xing turned into a smile: "But as long as you obey the rules and listen to orders, from today on, as long as I need to make utensils that everyone will help me make later, I will definitely not treat you badly." For every piece made, a silver ingot. ”
"General, general, what do you want us to create?" A middle-aged shopkeeper was strong and courageous, and asked when Liu Xing's words fell.
Looking at him sideways and smiling kindly, Liu Xing said, "What to build, you will know later." Let's go, come with me to the West Courtyard, where there should be enough wood to make a dozen of the things I want......"
