"What profiteer, have you ever seen a profiteer who throws money out every day?"

Zhu Jie said angrily: "Lan'er, tomorrow I will be transferred 100,000 taels of silver from the account office, can I get it?" ”

"One hundred thousand taels of silver!"

Lin Lan was taken aback and said in amazement: "Big brother, what do you want so much silver for?" ”

"Alas!"

Zhu Jie sighed and replied: "The soldiers of Tongzhou Town went out this time, although they won a great victory, but the casualties were really not small, especially in the battle of Dasha River, not only the Qin and Han Lords were killed in battle, together with the 8,000 soldiers of the infantry battalion of the rear army, more than half of the casualties were also killed, we are waiting for the court's compassionate treatment, I am afraid that the daylilies will be cold, and now it seems that only we can do it ourselves, Tongzhou Town must not let any soldiers who can live die because of lack of money!" ”

Chen Yuanyuan's heart jumped, and he said in a low voice: "General, you, you want to take your own money and go to the imperial court to compensate the casualties?" That's, that's a hundred thousand taels! ”

Zhu Jie waved his hand and replied: "Little family, money earned is used to spend, make you a mountain of gold and silver, if you don't spend it, then he is not money, or a lump of dirt!" It was decided that 20,000 taels of silver would be set aside to help the lonely and helpless families of future casualties; second, all disabled soldiers, each of whom will receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver, to help them find something to do as much as possible; Third, all the fallen soldiers will be given a bereavement pension of twenty taels, and the silver must be handed over to the families of the soldiers with their own hands, and no one below will be allowed to be greedy for ink, otherwise, if I know it, I will cut it with a knife! ”

The disabled soldiers will receive a subsidy of ten taels of silver, and the dead soldiers will receive a pension of twenty taels of silver, but Zhu Jie said that the casualty list is close to 8,000 people, even if all the 100,000 taels of silver are taken out, it may not be enough!

"What is this called? General, let's fight for the imperial court, from birth to death, and in the end, we have to pay tribute to the casualties with silver, what else does this imperial court do? What else is there to do? ”

Now there are many industries under the names of Zhu Jie and Tongzhou Town, 100,000 taels of silver, which is not a big amount, and it will basically be transferred out in more than a month, but this money is used to plug holes in the imperial court, not for business!

Lin Lan and Chen Yuanyuan, two women, worked hard for business, and they couldn't even sleep well, but in the end, they wanted to throw the money out in vain, and the two of them were naturally unhappy, anyway, this money is not spent like this!

Zhu Jie's face sank, and he shouted: "Okay, the affairs of the court are not something you can put your beaks on, your task is to bring me the silver, these soldiers are our flesh and blood brothers, even if I die one, I will feel distressed, not to mention so many casualties!" Don't say 100,000 taels, it's a million taels of silver, and you have to give it to me at a critical time! Whether the court takes the silver or not, that's their business, whether I take the silver or not, it's my business, is it wrong to take the silver for my brothers? Woman's view! ”

Chen Yuanyuan pursed his lips and whispered: "Neither of our sisters is married, where did the woman come from?" There is silver, but this thing makes people angry! ”

Zhu Jie looked at Chen Yuanyuan with a smile and said with a smile: "Why, Miss Chen is so anxious to get married?" What about the good ones? ”

Zhu Jie's words caused trouble, Chen Yuanyuan's mouth was deflated, his eyes were red, he stood up and turned into the boudoir, and threw Zhu Jie and Lin Lan in the living room.

"Big brother, what did you say? Even if a round girl comes from a humble background, you shouldn't be so frivolous, don't you understand her thoughts? Don't make people feel lonely! ”

Lin Lan said angrily.

Zhu Jie's face stiffened, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Yes, yes, I lost my words for a while, Yao, go and help me comfort and comfort the eldest lady." ”

Lin Lan glanced at Zhu Jie fiercely and turned to leave.

Zhu Jie was bored with a boss, yawning, anyway, things have been arranged, although the two sisters have grievances, but they will always take out the silver, in fact, why don't they feel aggrieved? The people in the household department are a bunch of waste, they don't do anything serious, they can afford to drag it out, where can they afford it, they can't let the brothers really suffer on the battlefield and the barracks suffer, right?

"My lord, my lord, Mr. Li Yan has arrived!"

Zhu Jie was about to rest for a while, when the housekeeper Zhu Gui walked in and said in a low voice.

Zhu Jie's spirit was shocked, and he said urgently: "Quick, quickly invite Li Yan in!" ”

It didn't take long for Li Yan and the red lady to come to the living room.

"Li Yan see Lord Futai!"

Li Yan bowed slightly.

"Haha, my God of Wealth has arrived, Brother Li Yan, Mrs. Sister-in-law, come and sit down, come and serve tea!"

Zhu Jie laughed and shouted.

"Brother Li Yan, I heard Lan'er and them say, it only took you half a month to regularize the four money houses in the capital, this method, this wisdom, is really admired by the brothers......"

Li Yan smiled and said: "Where did the adults say, if it wasn't for the adults who stayed, where would Li Yan have such skills?" I have to say that those ways of doing business in the charter are enough to shake the past and the present, even if Zigong is resurrected and Fan Li is reincarnated, it is nothing more than that. ”

"You two don't flatter each other, they are both momentary handsome, unborn geniuses, you chat, I'm going to go to the back to see my two sisters!"

As the red lady spoke, she walked straight into the back hall.

"My lord, now that the camp has been surrounded and suppressed, Henan Lake and Guangguang have all been recovered, only one Zhang Xianzhong is left in Sichuan, I'm afraid he can't toss any waves, next, what are your plans?"

Li Yan asked in a deep voice.

Zhu Jie shook his head and replied: "I'm just a governor, how do I plan, the court has the final say, what can I do?" It's just that years of natural and man-made disasters have greatly damaged the vitality of Henan Province, and ten rooms and nine empty rooms are empty, and it is too difficult to make Henan recover......

Li Yan nodded, he agreed with Zhu Jie's words, as a native of Henan, Li Yan had already sweated for Henan.

"Everything has to be done slowly, and there is no hurry."

"Take your time?"

Zhu Jie smiled bitterly: "I want to take my time, but now Manchuria is getting stronger and stronger, and there are many talents, it won't be long before the army will be invaded again, 100,000 Eight Banners, that's not a joke, if we can't prepare properly before this, then wait for the defeat, Henan has been seriously injured, not three or two years can recover, I stay in Henan, in fact, it is no longer meaningful, according to my own ideas, it is best to be able to take charge of Nanzhili, or Fujian and Zhejiang, the south is rich and densely populated, If the management is good, it will greatly increase the strength of the imperial court, and the inexhaustible tax is the key to our invincible position! ”
