Ying Yi then said to Lian Biao: "Once all kinds of affairs in the valley are busy, the people you lead must also move." It is your duty to oversee roads, drive out wild beasts, protect people, and so on. There is still a long way to go. ”

Lian Biao took a breath and clenched his fists: "Don't worry, my lord, Lian Biao will never come out of the basket." ”

Ying Yi bowed his head and said Xiucai: "No matter what you do, you must first set the rules." Whether it is to open the road or make guns, I am not going to demand the people in the form of hard labor. The army is paid, and the people are paid for their work for me. Those who open the road must be paid, and those who make poles must be paid. As for how much the salary should be, Xiucai, you decide. Remember not to be harsh. ”

When Xiucai heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "My subordinates know that the adults are kind, but they only have two million taels of silver, if they are consumed like this, I am afraid they will not be able to withstand much toss." ”

Ying Yi waved her hand: "I naturally know." I secretly calculated that on the side of Bibo Valley, a social payment would be about 200 taels a month. The military salary is about 4,000 taels a month, and if there are war casualties, it will be even more. For the barrels of 10,000 spears, my budget is 2,500 taels. That is, to make a gun and pay four pieces of silver. One person who opened the road was twenty taels a day, and three groups of people counted three thousand people, and consumed sixty taels of silver a day, and one thousand eight hundred taels a month. All that adds up to the cost of less than 10,000 taels of silver in the first month. ”

Sun Xiucai listened and remembered, bowing slightly.

Yingyi said: "If there is a way to make military uniforms, it will also be placed among the people." Spring and autumn count one, summer one, winter one, three pieces each two sets. Each soldier has six sets of uniforms. More than 3,000 people, nearly 20,000 sets of military uniforms, priced according to the quality of military uniforms. If the quality is ordinary, dozens or hundreds of texts are just that. The military uniform is changed once a year, which means that the annual expenditure of the military uniform is only a few thousand taels at most. It's a big head, but I don't think about it for the time being. ”

"No matter how you calculate it, two million taels of silver, at least for a few years, there will be no problem. Ying Yi concluded: "I also want to contact businessmen, buy supplies, and when we develop ourselves, we can also sell goods." At that time, a healthy and good operating mechanism will be formed, and there will be no need to sit on empty seats. ”

And the money, though it seemed to have been consumed, actually fell into the hands of the people. Once the people have money in their hands, the economic cycle can be restored. Grain, salt, and other daily necessities no longer need to be supplied free of charge, but can be set up in shops and sold to the people, and silver taels can be recovered. ”

"Overall, it's a long-term plan. For the time being, it can only be presented on paper, and there may be many omissions. Ying Yi said, sighing slightly: "After all, people are not enough." ”

In the end, Ying Yi pondered for a moment and said to Xiucai: "Zheng Xianzun has experience and talent. If you don't understand what I'm talking about today, or if you encounter problems when dealing with things, you can ask him for advice. ”

Sun Xiucai's eyes couldn't help but light up: "What the adults said is true." ”

At this time, there was a shout from outside the cave: "Brother Ying, Brother Ying!"

The voice of the male duck is like a duck, which one is not Wang Zhongguan?

Ying Yi smiled and said to Sun Xiucai: "You go and do your thing." ”

I saw Wang Zhongguan rushing in from outside the cave, and seeing that he was happy, he must have encountered something good.

Sun Xiucai and Lian Biao saluted Wang Zhongguan and left the cave.

Wang Zhongguan laughed and took out a fluffy little thing from his arms, and said happily: "Brother Ying, look!"

Ying Yi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a closer look: "Yo, the lieutenant is amazing!"

He gave a thumbs up: "The king of the mountain has been arrested by the lieutenant!"

It turned out to be a tiger cub.

Wang Zhongguan smiled happily: "No! Our family is lucky today." When I went into the mountain with Hu Miao, I saw a mountain king. It's hard to kill, and there's a cub. Our family thought that this cub was quite cute, so we brought it back. ”

Ying Yi was taken aback: "Really killed a mountain king?"

It is said that he was also a frequent visitor to the mountains earlier, but he just never met the mountain king. Unexpectedly, when Wang Zhongguan entered the mountain, he not only killed the mountain king, but also took the cubs together.

"Come, send you. Wang Zhongguan threw the tiger boy and said with a smile: "One of our families has no eggs, and we can't support it." ”

Ying Yi was stunned: "What is this Zhongguan?" After all the hard work, I don't dare to take the favor of the officials. ”

It will be returned to the lieutenant.

Wang Zhongguan waved his hand again and again: "Don't, don't." Our family always has to go back to Beijing. It's not a thing to carry a tiger cub. ”

Ying Yi was right when she thought about it, and couldn't help sighing: "The lieutenant wants to go back to Beijing, and I am also busy here, so I don't have time to take care of this little thing." ”

"Then just kill. The lieutenant said: "I have a few catties, and I stew it for a meal." ”

Ying Yi smiled: "The lieutenant didn't kill it before, that's its blessing." Since there is a blessing, then raise it first, and you can't brush off the kindness of the lieutenant. ”

Wang Zhongguan laughed.

Then he changed his voice and asked, "I don't know what the situation is outside the mountain right now." Our family is anxious every day. I'm afraid I don't know how anxious it should be. ”

He sighed.

Ying Yi said: "Don't worry. I will take people out tomorrow, and as soon as there is news, I will inform the lieutenant officer. ”

"It couldn't be better. Wang Zhongguan breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't look at our family hunting and playing all day long, but in my heart, it is really uncomfortable." ”

Ying Yi smiled secretly, nodding approvingly on her face.

Then I heard Wang Zhongguan say: "That Zheng Xianzun disappeared all day and hid in the cave, and it is not a good thing for our family to see." It's a shame that you did something for him, otherwise he would have been killed by thieves. ”

Ying Yi was stunned, and couldn't help but turn his heart, was this a test of him.

Zheng Yunzhi has been placed under house arrest by him, and it seems that Wang Zhongguan has seen some clues.

Ying Yi said: "The county is busy now. More than 20,000 people in this valley ate and drank and Lazar, and there was no end to it. Don't look at the county and don't see anyone all day, but he is thinking about the overall situation. ”

Wang Zhongguan sneered: "The overall situation? He's just a county order, what kind of bullshit. ”

"Forget it. He waved his hand: "Our family is waiting for your good news." ”

This night, Yingyi didn't sleep for half the night.

Thinking about all kinds of things in my head, I sorted out the mess and sorted it out. When I think of the thieves outside the mountain, when I think of a tiger, when I think of the people who are full of valleys, and when I think of myself, I just feel a thousand things.

The next day, as soon as the sky was numb, Ying Yi got up.

From afar, I saw that on the opposite cliff, several people were walking with their fists and feet, and it turned out to be Zheng Wu, Zheng Liu, and Zheng Jiu.

To be honest, Yingyi is still a little embarrassed to face them now. After all, what he did was not kind. But Yingyi didn't feel guilty in her heart. He just did what he thought he should do. At the beginning, Zheng Yunzhi asked him to learn martial arts, but now it is difficult for him to meet Zheng Yunzhi.

Seeing Zheng Wu and the three practicing martial arts on the mountain, he couldn't help but look at it quietly.
