Author: Use your soul to aim

In the end, Mr. Ma persuaded Zhang Zongxian, but Zhang Zongxian also gave restrictions. Every time one or two bills are issued in the capital, a corresponding reserve fund must be prepared. The head office will only give the corresponding amount of bills according to the treasury of the capital branch.

The Jingshi branch does not engage in loan business, and only allows money exchange. The profits of this money exchange are not small. People need to pay a handling fee to exchange the loose silver and miscellaneous silver in their hands into pure silver and bills.

.The profits from this area are enough to cover the expenses in the capital.

First engage in the exchange business to accumulate the trust of the people. After Zhang Zongxian becomes a big official, he will start other businesses.

The headquarters will also give an additional 100,000 taels of notes to the branch as construction funds for the branch in Beijing. This is also preparation for the future.

Zhang Zongxian plans to build a cement treasury in the capital. The entire treasury will be in the shape of a zigzag, with the treasury in the middle, and the four outer sides will all be built, similar to the counters of banks in previous generations. Personnel access will be through underground passages.

It is said that the treasury is actually a small fortress. In addition, Zhang Zongxian also asked Master Ma to take away half of the guards he brought out. As the guards of the treasury, when he returns to Jiazhou, he will also arrange for disciples of the school to come to the capital branch.

In addition, Master Ma was also asked to select some orphans in the capital and send them to the Legislative School to study.

By the time Zhang Zongxian returned to Jiazhou, it was already the end of May. At this time, on the grassland, King Shunyi had already solved Suxiang and summoned the remaining 100,000 households to discuss a joint attack on Hetao.

However, each of the long-divided Tumut tribes had their own plans. Some households had already taken refuge with Lin Dan Khan. At this time, they wanted to see King Shunyi's joke. Some tribes' pastures were not connected to the Hetao, and they were unwilling to do so.

Take chestnuts out of the fire for others.

In the end, only Dachengtai Jiwanhubu, Dalatwanhubu and Shunyi Wang headquarters, which bordered the Hetao, were willing to send troops to attack the Hetao.

Two Wanhu tribes and King Shunyi's headquarters can raise up to 50,000 cavalry. This includes the men of all tribes. After all, two Ten Thousand Household tribes were wiped out in just one winter.

King Shunyi had to deal with it with all his strength, and he would not be able to send troops until autumn.

The Taiping family was not the only one doing business in Guihua City. After Taiping withdrew, the people from the Investigation Section naturally used the names of other families and continued to stay in Guihua City to gather information.

The Tatars had no sense of confidentiality at all. Hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen in their headquarters were drunk and bragging everywhere. Soon they found out the news about King Shunyi's plan to attack in the autumn.

Zhang Zongxian, who received the report from the Investigation Section, after asking for the opinions of his two major disciples, decided to wait and see what happens, giving priority to ensuring that the food harvest in the settlements is completed. It would be good if the Tatars could gather men and horses to attack, so as to extend the province's supply line.

Before autumn comes, a few more troops can be trained. It is planned to use the four infantry regiments guarding the vanguard base as the backbone to build four new cavalry brigades.

These four cavalry brigades do not need to be trained in cavalry tactics such as cavalry assault. As long as they can ride horses, they can be used as infantry brigades that can move quickly.

After the autumn harvest, the young people in the settlements will be organized and moved into the forward base to replace the original guards. At that time, the number of troops available for mobile operations will reach more than 40,000 people in nine brigades.

During the time when Zhang Zongxian went to the capital, the tax-free land previously promised to soldiers had been gradually distributed after the establishment of Shuofang City. This was because many of the soldiers recruited were teenagers from military families in Yanshou Town.

None of them had married, so after receiving the land, they naturally gave it to their families to cultivate. This led to a large number of military households in Yansui Town dragging their families across the border wall to settle in settlements near Shuofang City.

The Legislative Army continued to recruit young men from military households in the name of Taiping. Each young man recruited would receive fifty acres of land. This made the military households who were originally tenants of the hereditary generals resolutely leave.

Bianqiang went to Shuofang City to settle down.

First, the landless military households fled the border wall, and then the military households with a few acres of their homes also began to flee the border wall. This finally made the people in Yansui Town realize that something was wrong.

Although the Investigation Section tried their best to cover up the existence of Shuofang City, after all, there was too much movement and too many people knew about it. The Yanshou Governor's Yamen and the Yanshou General Military Mansion were also frightened after receiving reports from the people below.

What happened in Hetao completely overturned their understanding. A business actually defeated the Tatars and built a city in Hetao.

Although there is a Zhizhou as a backer behind this company, they have a governor and a general soldier, which is much bigger than the Zhizhou, and I don't dare to think so.

The two of them also had a lot of questions. Since Zhang Zongxian had such strength, why didn't he rebel directly? Maybe he was following Emperor Taizu's strategy of "building high walls, hoarding food, and slowly becoming king". But it didn't look like it!

In order to prevent Zhang Zongxian from really rebelling, the two began to arrange their men to investigate all of Zhang Zongxian's properties. General Wang was responsible for investigating outside the border wall, and Governor Hu was responsible for investigating inside the border wall.

The strange behavior of the two people was quickly noticed by the people from the Investigation Department. Even if the strange behavior of the two people was discovered, Zhang Zongxian had no way to deal with it.

We can only write to Master Ma and ask him to intercept the two men's reports in the capital. In addition, let the people from the investigation department be prepared. If that doesn't work, they can create a mutiny and take the opportunity to kill the two men.

After General Wang and Governor Hu of Yansui Town compiled the intelligence they had collected, they discovered that Zhang Zongxian's Taiping was not making money at all, but producing money.

Although the Ming Dynasty had its own national conditions and dared to issue bills as a business, the circulation of these bills was not high, and they were all guaranteed by the credit of each merchant.

Even the Taiping bills can be spent in Xi'an, and people use them a lot. They are exquisitely made and durable, and the anti-counterfeiting technology is unique.

Governor Hu made a hasty calculation and found that the Taiping had issued at least two million taels of silver notes. Only the Taiping itself knew the exact amount of those small-denomination notes issued. Many of them must have been falsely issued.

Not only the bills, Taipinghao's grain warehouse also monopolized the grain business in Jiazhou and even half of Yansui Town. The people were willing to sell grain to them. As a result, the original grain business merchants could only buy grain from Taipinghao.

Wang Zongbing believed that it would take at least 30,000 frontier troops to capture Ordos, and at least 100,000 troops would be needed to completely occupy Ordos. Even if the soldiers trained by Zhang Zongxian had sharp guns and sufficient food and pay, it would take at least five

Only an army of ten thousand will do.

In terms of food and wages to support the army, the Taiping alone could feed the entire frontier army in Yansui Town, not counting the woolen mill and horse market controlled by Zhang Zongxian, which were profitable businesses.

The two of them analyzed and analyzed, and finally concluded that the reason why Zhang Zongxian did not rebel was because he was reluctant to part with these family properties. After all, once he rebelled against Taiping, his credibility would be completely destroyed, unless Zhang Zongxian could conquer the capital.

However, not to mention the three most capable towns in Shaanxi, Datong Town, Taiyuan Town, and Xuanfu Town are not easy to fight along the way. If Zhang Zongxian dares to rebel, the three towns in Shaanxi alone can draw at least 200,000 troops.

It has been more than 200 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the authority of the imperial court has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. His rebellion will only lead to the destruction of the nine tribes. Therefore, he does not dare to rebel.

The general of the Yanshou King believed that he could take over Ordos Wanhubu because of the civil strife in Tumote. In addition, the border troops in Yanshou Town often beat the Tatars in Hetao to the north.

The Taiping was able to be taken down purely because the Wanhu tribe in Ordos had been at peace for a long time and was defeated by the Taiping sneak attack. Once the Tumote troops arrived, they still had to retreat to the border wall.

As for why Zhang Zongxian took the risk of those Loops, it should be because of the wool. The profit from the wool was huge. It must be that the Tatars in the grassland knew that wool could be knitted into sweaters and were unwilling to sell it to Taiping at a low price. This allowed Taiping to

The trumpet made him want to rob.

Although the two concluded that Zhang Zongxian did not dare to rebel, they still had to be on guard against Zhang Zongxian. They then decided to quietly mobilize troops to be ready at any time. In particular, the troops in Yulin Town and Yan'an Prefecture must be ready.

They said that Zhang Zongxian did not dare to rebel. In fact, the two of them were seeking comfort for themselves. After all, they sold grain to Taiping and also bought shares in the woolen workshop. In the past few months, they could get a monthly dividend of 5,000 taels. Zhang Zongxian and Zhang Zongxian

Under their recommendation, the disciples became the guards of Qingshui Camp and Huangpu Chuanbao. Zhang Zongxian was still an official under Governor Yanshou Hu.

If Zhang Zongxian is really going to rebel, the two of them cannot be separated from each other if the court investigates them. The crime of negligence cannot be escaped. In addition, selling grain to Zhang Zongxian, they will definitely be included in the list of the nine tribes to be executed.

After listening to Wang Zongbing's analysis, Governor Yanshou Hu also believed that the Tatars had been at peace for a long time and had long lost their fighting power. Since there were soldiers and horses from the three towns of Shaanxi, Zhang Zongxian's two apprentices were not afraid. So it was

It is not possible to take advantage of the Tumut tribe to hide back in Ordos, capture Zhang Zongxian, and then eat his property.

With this idea in mind, the more Governor Hu thought about it, the more feasible he felt. If this was done, he could not only get rid of Zhang Zongxian, a serious enemy, but also win so many profitable industries. Governor Hu, who had been blinded by greed, immediately

I told Mr. Wang what I thought.

Wang Zongbing's plan is indeed feasible. Based on his understanding of the Tatars, the Tatars only have the strength to fight on a large scale in the autumn every year. By then, the Taiping soldiers will definitely have to fight with the Tatars. If they

Seized Qingshuiying and Huang

Puchuan Fort. The soldiers of the Taiping were blocked outside the border wall. Those soldiers had no way to retreat. In addition, the supplies were cut off, and the morale of the army was bound to be chaotic. They were sending a message to the people of the Tumote Department, and only the two company hairmen

The little brat who doesn't even grow up is bound to lose.

The Taiping soldiers were all wiped out by the Tatars, so Zhang Zongxian was not allowed to be manipulated by them at will. Then they would accuse Zhang Zongxian of provoking border provocations without permission. Then Zhang Zongxian's property would no longer be theirs.

Then the two of them looked at each other and smiled, each with their own plans in mind. Governor Hu was interested in Taiping bank and grain store, and General Wang was interested in horse market and wool workshop.

The mobilization of troops and horses in Yansui Town was immediately prepared, and the Investigation Section learned. After Zhang Zongxian got the news, he thought over and over again and still did not want to break up with Yansui Town. After all, it would take another three months for Tianqi to ascend the throne, even if Shenzong took the throne.

Bang that.

He thought of stabilizing the two of them first, and after Tianqi ascended the throne, he would accuse them of stealing and selling military rations, just in time to make way for Zhang Zongxian.

Governor Hu and General Wang of Yansui Town thought the same way. They also wanted to wait until autumn before taking action, and did not want to alert the enemy.

In order to stabilize Yansui Town, Zhang Zongxian sent Staff Zhao to probe Governor Hu. At this time, Staff Zhao had completely surrendered to Zhang Zongxian. Although he was not as important as Master Ma, he was a rare figure in Zhang Zongxian's team who could act independently.

Staff Zhao sent a greeting note to Governor Hu's Yamen in the name of Taiping. Governor Hu, who received the greeting note, lamented that Zhang Zongxian was well-informed, but he also believed that Zhang Zongxian did not dare to rebel, so he immediately sent his nephew to talk to Staff Zhao

talk.

After experiencing Master Ma's betrayal, Governor Hu no longer easily trusted his so-called staff and left all these important matters to his nephew.

Staff Zhao had worked as a staff officer to the eunuch who was supervising the army, so he naturally knew Governor Hu's nephew. After the two met at the restaurant they had booked, they were polite to each other. Staff Zhao then began to tentatively lead the conversation outside the wall.

"Master Hu heard that there are far fewer Tatars coming to Hongshan Horse Market this year than last year."

This Mr. Hu relied on Governor Hu to place loan sharks in Yansui Town, and no one dared to mess with him. Naturally, he also looked down on Staff Zhao. Staff Zhao also deliberately mentioned the Hongshan Horse Market, because many businessmen in the Horse Market borrowed money from this man.

Got usury.

"What's so much less, but there's nothing? You Taiping took all the benefits, causing me to lose a lot. I heard that you drove away the Tatars in Hetao. It's because of this Hongshan Horse Market.

There is no one to do business. You, Taiping, have to compensate me for my money."

Staff Zhao has changed a lot since he was imprisoned by the poisonous scorpion for several months. After taking refuge with Zhang Zongxian, he studied Sun Tzu's Art of War all day long in order to enhance his business capabilities. He is still different from what he used to be.

"Mr. Hu, we in Taiping Hao don't have that kind of ability. It's just that those Tatars saw that the wool business was very profitable, so they raised the price and wanted to sell it to our company for one tael of silver or a pound of wool. Later, when they couldn't reach an agreement, they started to rob it.

My thoughts are just like the caravan

The guards had done a few games. This caused some turmoil on the grassland. As for Mr. Hu's loss, it was all a trivial matter. This was a note of one thousand taels of silver from the Taiping, which could be exchanged for cash at any time. Just treat it as a gift.

Please compensate Mr. Hu!"

Governor Hu's nephew was not polite and just stuffed the bill into his arms and said:

"This is not enough! I want to send you away with just one thousand taels. Your Taiping Bank has several million taels of silver."

"Master Hu is joking, the money in the bank is all people's money that is temporarily deposited in our bank. It's all people's money."

"Anyway, I don't care, I have to compensate you at least ten thousand taels."

Staff Zhao thought to himself, if you really dare to ask for ten thousand taels, aren't you afraid that you will have your life to take the money but not your life to spend it?

"The money is easy to talk about. I just need Mr. Hu's help to tell Governor Hu not to listen to the rumors. The Taiping is also thinking about everyone's business, so it has a conflict with the Tatars. How many people are there in Yansui Town in the wool business?"

All the money is invested in it. Without the supply of wool, how can we spin wool? Without wool, there is no money!"

Before coming here, Governor Hu had told him that Taiping would agree to all its requests.

"No problem? This matter is easy to talk about. I will tell my uncle when I get back."

After the business was settled, the two started drinking and talking. During the drinking period, Mr. Hu kept asking about Taiping Bank, and even asked how the bank operated.
