There are also many troops stationed in the same city of various government offices, including the Yabing of the Observer's Office, the Yabing of the Governor's Office, etc.
The 100,000 guan promised to Wu Huaiyu by the shipping envoy Zhang Fuguo was delivered on time as promised. This 100,000 guan was withdrawn by the Guangzhou Shipping Department in the third quarter of the sixth year of Zhenguan, and Bo bought two-thirds of the income.
Half is for the Observer's Office, and one is for the Guangzhou Governor's Office.
One hundred thousand guan is not a small number, and the Shipping Department does not have that many copper coins, so the money includes gold, silver, copper coins, silk, cloth, and even some ivory, pearls and other valuable light goods.
Wu Huaiyu handed this batch of money to Tang Fengxiao. This Kunlun slave is now one of Wu Huaiyu's most effective white gloves. He also has a non-staff status in the Six Doors. Now he is making waves in Guangzhou.
Guangli Bank in Guangzhou is a large trading firm in foreign trade. Tang Fengxiao is the nominal owner of this firm. In fact, this large trading firm is very large, but the largest owner behind the scenes is Wu Huaiyu.
Huaiyi is also a shareholder behind the scenes. In addition, Qin Qiong, Warrior Xun, Fan Xing, Cheng Yaojin and many other nobles also have shares in it.
Guangli Bank is very large and operates many categories. In fact, it has more than 100 stores in Guangzhou. It sells silk, porcelain, tea, salt, sugar, wine, medicine, cloth, etc. It also deals in gold and silver, lending, mortgage and other businesses.
This batch of 100,000 guan of goods was sent to the money shop of Guangli Bank in Xi'ao Pier, and was soon exchanged for gold, silver, copper coins, silk, etc.
"Each person will be rewarded with a piece of silk and three hundred dollars."
In the Observation Envoy's Fuga Barracks, Wu Huaiyu pointed to the piles of money and announced that more than half of the 1,000 soldiers in the Neiya Barracks came from Chang'an's Eighth Battalion of the Beiya Forbidden Army, Hundreds of Qianqi Rangers and Shenji Battalion.
There are also some from Wu Huaiyu’s tribe and the descendants of the Wu clan.
They are now all the Yamen in the Observation Envoy's Mansion, also known as the Yamen Army.
"Everyone has queued up to receive the reward with their fingerprints. You can take the money and silk out directly, or you can deposit it in the military account first. Of course, if you are thinking of your family in the mainland of the capital, you can also ask Guangli Bank to make arrangements and let Chang'an's branch inform you.
Your family members go and get it..."
A piece of silk, three hundred coins, is actually a reward of five hundred coins.
Nowadays, the price of grain is low, so the reward money given to the family is actually quite a lot. With just 300 yuan, you can buy ten shi of millet.
In recent years, food prices have been low, and the purchasing power of Kaiyuan Tongbao has been very high. All kinds of bad and counterfeit money have been severely punished. Coupled with a slight money shortage, things are cheap and money is expensive.
"I have entrusted Guangli Bank to help make a batch of winter clothes for everyone. Although the winter in Lingnan is not too cold, you don't have to worry. Everyone will have a new set of winter clothes, including outerwear, underwear, shoes, socks, and hats.
Get a blanket."
The tooth soldiers cheered.
After Huaiyu paid the rewards to the thousand Neiyang soldiers, he went to Zicheng, where the newly recruited Yawai soldiers would be stationed, which was also one of the headquarters of the military army.
The six thousand Jinglue Army are also Huaiyu's tooth soldiers, but compared to the one thousand who are from the Chang'an Forbidden Army or the children of the Wu family, these six thousand were selected during the local regiment training in Lingnan.
Six thousand people are divided into four compartments in the front, rear, left and right, and six compartments of Yuhou on the left and right. The one thousand in the inner teeth serve as the central army. When going out, plus a few thousand auxiliary troops, a group of 12,000 can be formed.
The human battle legion.
"It's pretty fast."
Huaiyu looked at the camp of Zicheng Yawaibing. There were thousands of strong young men. The selected ones were all young men between the ages of 18 and 25. These people were training soldiers of the Yuanzhou Regiment and had some training background.
.
However, this time Wu Huaiyu chose this group of military commanders, but he specifically did not choose those who had served as private soldiers for the Lingnan chieftains in the past.
Most of them are Han people, and there are also a few barbarians, but at least they are all familiar barbarians and can speak Chinese.
Basically, they are mainly miners, dock workers, boatmen, fishermen, etc. These people are physically stronger, but they are also more hard-working, have good discipline, and have strong plasticity.
Just like Qi Jiguang's Qi Jiajun, he chose the Yiwu miners from the beginning.
The most important thing in being a soldier is discipline. You can't choose someone who is slick, no matter how good your martial arts skills are.
Farmers in the countryside are better than citizens in the city,
"Bring the money and silk."
Thousands of new recruits of the Imperial Army were still a little nervous and restrained. After they clicked in, they were all required to wash themselves thoroughly several times, and even had their hair sprayed with deworming drugs. Each of them was given oral deworming spray, even their hair
Shaved to prevent lice infection.
If people didn't pay too much attention to their hair these days, Wu Huaiyu would have even wanted them to shave their heads first, because the weather in Lingnan is already hot, and the young people at the bottom with long hair are working hard, and there are really many people with lice in their hair.
Apply pesticides to repel insects, apply them externally and take them internally,
I also took a bath in the medicine pool and then used a bristle brush to brush hard.
In the end, all the original clothes were taken away, used to cook medicine, and then put away after being exposed to the sun. Everyone put on new uniform clothes and shoes.
When I stopped in the camp, it was at least much neater and cleaner.
Each of these recruits received 500 yuan for their accommodation, and the reward was also a bolt of silk and 300 yuan.
The total value is one thousand copper plates, and rice can buy twenty shi.
These new recruits from the local low-level management army were all very excited. Looking at the piles of money, they really had never seen so much money in their lives.
Manage the army and lead the army with honesty and integrity.
"Can you really send out so much?"
"Can Lian Shuai's announcement standing there be false?"
"Aren't those who aren't officials taking a cut?"
"Who dares to deduct it? These are Commander Lian's soldiers. Although our army is a foreign soldier, they are also Commander Lian's personal soldiers."
"Why are you called Lian Shuai? Isn't our marshal's surname Wu?"
"Shuai Lian is another name for the Observer, just like our commander-in-chief was also called Xianggong before, because he was still the prime minister before."
The recruits could not help but whisper to each other below. Rewards were being distributed at this moment. Commander Lian ended his training and dispersed the queue. No one cared about what they were talking about.
Those who are more knowledgeable have actually served as soldiers in Guangzhou city before. Now they are just soldiers from the state and selected as the army soldiers. Compared with the new recruits below, they can't help but feel a bit superior.
It's exactly what they said. Who feels guilty about depriving Lian Shuai's soldiers of their military rewards and resettlement allowance?
It is said that five hundred yuan to settle down is not less than a penny, and a piece of silk and three hundred reward money are the same for everyone. Even the piece of silk, although it is replaced by cloth, is still a standard one-end cloth, and the quality will not be the same.
There's only half a difference.
The copper coins are all Kaiyuan Tongbao cast by the Yongtong Money Supervisor in Shaozhou using copper from the Linshui Copper Factory. Each one is extremely exquisite, and all of them are brand-new copper coins.
The weight feels different when you hold it in your hand.
A piece of cloth, eight hundred coins, was not heavy at all, but when I entered the military camp and got such real money, I felt very good.
The three thousand men and horses of the guard camp under the name of the governor of the outer city were treated in the same way. These new guards were also given 500 yuan to settle down, and a horse of silk and 300 yuan as a military reward.
Even if it is newly formed, this is a good time to catch up, as all the armies in Lingnan have them.
For Wu Huaiyu, raising soldiers for a thousand days is spent in a moment. Now these soldiers are newly recruited, and they must be fed first, otherwise they will be taken out at any time, and how can they be used when the time comes.
A new soldier's settlement allowance and military reward will be discounted a total of 1,000 yuan, while a veteran's military reward will be discounted a total of 500 yuan. A new army of 24,000 yuan will only cost 24,000 yuan.
Fifty thousand old garrison soldiers are equivalent to twenty thousand five-member army reward.
Including the more than 10,000 soldiers, this round cost more than 50,000 yuan. Fortunately, Wu Huaiyu can still support this expense.
However, there were 20,000 people in the recruitment camp in Yong Mansion to recruit the barbarian rebels. The military expenses for the war, as well as military merit rewards and casualty pensions, were huge.
The 100,000 yuan given to him by Zhang Fuguo's Shipping Department was almost spent all at once.
The army is really a giant gold-eating beast, a bottomless pit of gold-destroying caves.
Wu Huaiyu has now notified the six Lingnan prefectures, ninety-six prefectures and thirty-six Jisu prefectures of the tax sharing policy. He will wait and see the reactions of all parties.
He wanted to see who was the most irresistible enough to jump out and object.
Whoever opposes it will be beaten.
Whether it is Feng Zhidai, the governor of Gaofu, his in-laws, or Ning Chun, the governor of Yongfu, and Chen Longshu, the governor of Rongfu, these three governors are served by local noble chiefs, especially Feng Zhidai, the governor of Gaofu. The Feng family has great influence on Gaofu.
The control power of Hezhou is still very strong, which is unmatched by the Ning family and the Chen family. What's more, there is the Xian family behind the Feng family. Together with the Feng family, they also control the four states of Hainan Island.
"Should we invite Feng Zhidai to Guangzhou to meet and have a good talk?"
"No need, just look at Feng Zhidai's true reaction,"
"What if he doesn't cooperate in paying the taxes?"
Huaiyu chuckled, "If he really dares to do this, wouldn't it make even the saints far away in Guanzhong wake up from their dreams with laughter?"
Although the Feng family is powerful, they still maintain a strong independence. Although it is the result of them judging the situation and understanding the current affairs, they have also been deeply suspicious of the court. If there is an honest opportunity to trick the Feng family
,will the emperor let go of this opportunity?
When the time comes, the first bird will be shot and the Feng family will be severely punished, which will eliminate a major hidden danger in Lingnan for the imperial court. Once the Feng family is subdued, the other powerful chiefs in Lingnan will naturally be honest and obedient.
If the Feng family is still very aware of current affairs this time and can take the lead in cooperating with the new two-tax law and hand over two-thirds of the taxes, that will be a good thing. They can win without a fight. If he takes the lead, everything will go smoothly next.
Yes.
Anyway, no matter how he does it, Wu Huaiyu will remain invincible.
As for the Feng family, it depends on whether they are smart or not. Feng Ang has stayed in the court since he entered the court, and is still accompanying him in Jiucheng Palace. He must be able to see clearly. He will stay in Lingnan to inherit the position of governor.
, Feng Zhidai, who is in charge of the Feng family, based on Wu Huaiyu's understanding of him, he is not a fool.
Of course, in the face of huge interests, it is hard to say whether smart people will be stupid.
But whether he was stupid or not, Wu Huaiyu was not afraid.
"Shuai Lian is really not afraid of making trouble? The barbarians in the left and right streams have not been calmed down yet, and the barbarians of the Liezi tribe to the west are making trouble again.
If the Feng family takes the lead in making trouble at this time, I'm afraid Lingnan will be in chaos again."
"If you don't break it, you won't establish it," Huaiyu was not worried. He reminded, "From the bottom of my heart, in the long run, I actually hope that there will be chaos now, so that the original old pattern can be completely broken."
As for the military expenditures, money, food and ammunition, and even casualty pensions during the war, in fact, as long as you win in the end, all the costs can be passed on to the loser, and you can even seize generous spoils from the loser.
