Chapter 109 Busy

When Zhang Han went out, he would come to see him. Now Zhang Han is a famous signboard in Xinping Castle. The three generations of grandparents are all in the fort. Even Puzhou origin has faded. He Yusheng is already a major merchant in the fort under the leadership of Zhang Han. He is also very famous in Datong and Shanxi. The merchants in the fort went out to say that they met Zhang Dongzhu, which was also a gifty face. It would be fine if Zhang Han was not in the fort for a while. When he saw him, everyone would have to come forward and bowed with various pleasing smiles on his face.

Fortunately, Jiang Kui and others were guarding him, and Zhang Han kept bowing and returning the gift, with a smile on his face. When he entered the mule and horse robe, he smiled and rubbed his face with both hands and said, "It's really not easy. Tell Wang Changgan and others inside, and quickly get the carriage out for me."

Someone next to him responded with a smile. Zhang Han first looked scared, and then he started laughing.

The current four-wheeled cart has actually improved a lot of details, such as the steering shaft and fixing device between the first two wheels and the pull-up horse. In addition, the workmanship of the small rotating shaft is not done in place, the load weight of the cart is not much increased, and it is also easy to damage.

This kind of technological innovation can only be done step by step. With the guidance of future generations in a few months, it is a dream to make a completely qualified Western-style carriage.

It is difficult to draw wires, and then it becomes a spring and then cooperates with the wheel body. I really don’t know how long it will take to wait.

Zhang Han dared not think about rubber tires. This is really not something that can be solved now.

Steam engines and cars are even more difficult. Zhang Han hasn't finished studying hard in junior high school. This is his weakness. If he was a college student in science and engineering, he might be able to really make things happen, but he has devoted all his energy to doing business, and he really doesn't understand these things very well.

To put it another way, if Zhang Han went to college and had not been in the business world for more than ten years, he might have another scene after traveling through time. Life is like a rushing river, and any fork will have completely different results.

Wang Changfu rushed over after hearing the news. Liang Xing, Wang Yikui, Li Laibin and others stood beside him. Zhang Han looked at everyone and said, "Talk in the office."

"Yes, the boss."

Everyone agreed and their expressions became serious, even when walking, in an orderly manner.

When we arrived at the house, Zhang Han sat first, and each person sat down one by one. Wang Changfu said: "Master, in the next month, we have recruited 37 people from Jizhen, Xuanfu, Datong, Yansui, Guyuan and other towns. People have arranged to recruit people from all over the country, but these people are still difficult to find. If there are a few more months, I may be able to recruit thirty or fifty. If there are more, I can only take it slowly."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "This has exceeded my expectations. Changfu, you should be careful in doing things."

Wang Changfu hasn't been in charge of training much recently. He has a few deputy players who have gradually grown up and have added the title of team leader. He has earned several times his annual salary and is very attentive in his work. Zhang Han and Wang Changfu observed coldly for a while and found that these deputy players can practice well, both physical fitness, queue, and internal affairs. Only the Golden Drum Banner and array battles are also used. If these things are not veterans, it is difficult to understand them in the short term. Wang Changfu has formulated a training plan for this. When he is not at home, he mainly practices physical fitness and queues, and at the same time strengthens internal affairs. Other things will be practiced when he is at home.

After doing this, although Wang Changfu was almost not in the fort, the training results of the escorts were still very good. In fact, the practice method of the Xinpingbao escort business has become well-known. There are some proprietors who are interested in opening accounts and escorts to dig Wang Changfu over, but Wang Changfuli ignored it. Not to mention that Zhang Han treats him well, he has taken a lot of money. Even those things in the details have been improved by Zhang Han. He knew in his heart that without the proprietor, he would not count. He was just a veteran with some experience. Not to mention that such people are on the entire Jiubian, even Xinpingbao is caught by a lot.

"I'll bring people to the boss in a while." Wang Changfu said, "I have all my wealth. According to the boss, it's best to move all my family here and do it. In addition, I have never been a deserter. I've been under 35 and above 25. I have been the one who doesn't charge the least at night for seven years. I've had the skills exam... not bad."

Wang Yikui smiled muffled, and when he saw Zhang Han looking at him, he had to say, "Wang Dutou had several more than his exams, but he found that some people were better than him, so he simply didn't get much of the exam."

Zhang Han smiled when he heard this. Wang Changfu glared at Wang Yikui and said in a muffled voice: "These dog gods are really good at it. This is also the main person. If it weren't for these requests, we wouldn't have recruited only a few people."

At least a few thousand people were larger than the night in Jiubian. Xinpingbao entrusted local snakes to recruit people everywhere. If the conditions were more relaxed, hundreds of people would probably be able to recruit them in more than a month. The treatment in the army was worse than that of one day. In the past, they could still have food and clothing. If they were chopped off the heads of the Northern Barbarians and returned to the rewards, or they might just go to loot the Northern Barbarians and rob horse bandits. These people who did not collect at night and whistle were typical outlaws, and at least they were brave. During the first battle when Huang Taiji entered the pass, the night barbarians from Shaanxi and Shanxi worked together with the border troops to serve the king. As a result, the Ministry of Revenue did not provide military rations and pay, and the soldiers fled. Many people did not collect at night and fled into the bandits, becoming the backbone.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty was still a bit sunset. It would be impossible for them to be forced to exile or even rebel. However, the treatment of the entire border army was already very low. It was not much better for the sharp whistle or Ye Wu. The eyes of the old and young people at home were green. The monthly military pay was either delayed or owed. The military rations given were mostly moldy or damaged grain mixed with sand and gravel. The border troops from northern Shaanxi to northern Shanxi, in the following decade, many people sold their children and daughters and even called their wives to be secret prostitutes. Even so, the northwest border defense was still unbreakable. Most border troops did not become bandits and rarely changed mutinies. Compared with the Liaodong Army, who were good at selling teammates and long-distance running, the northwest border troops were considered to be the right one to fight the Ming Dynasty.

"The conditions must not be relaxed." Zhang Han picked up the list and said to everyone: "Don't be bad. We are not trying to rebel. We need a reliable bodyguard. We may also go out with the convoy in the future. Therefore, the more and more good players who do not collect and hike at night, the fewer and fewer are, but at most, there are only a few hundred people, not more than a thousand people. We recruit hundreds of people at once. How big is this? Let's report to the court, and it makes people look at me. Will we slaughter our fat sheep?"

Everyone nodded when they heard this, and Wang Changfu said again: "Did these thirty people follow?"

Zhang Han pondered: "This time I just met, not to fight. I don't want to take the best skills at night to pick five people and follow them. Brother Liang Xing will pick a few. Changfu, you can stay at home and continue to pick people and train in this area. Liang Xing and Li Dongxue will follow me, and my cousin. There are also a few people in Lingqiu who will go together the day after tomorrow. There will be no more than fifteen people, and no more than twenty people at most. This is not too conspicuous. We will carry some valuable goods with us. If there is anything wrong, it can be said to be smuggling."

Liang Xing stood up and said, "I'll do this immediately."

All those present were Zhang Han’s confidants, and the smuggling could be launched quickly. Zhang Han had already revealed a lot of people at these levels. As he expected, everyone did not have much resistance.

Next, Zhang Han had to summon the supervisors of the bank warehouse and each warehouse to verify the actual situation through previous reports, and he would have to ask these people to accompany him to walk around.

The director of the bank deposit is Yang Shiming. This is the old man from He Yusheng. He was transferred from the old store to use it. His ability is average, but he just trusts him. The people below are also mixed with Lahu and porter mates. The rules here are the strictest. Even if Zhang Han comes in, he has to report the procedures and store the bank every month. It is not enough to lose one ingot of silver. The accounts and accounts on the books must be approved, and there is no deviation at all.

"Even so," Yang Qiu said with a sneer: "There are people who have the idea of ​​making money. Last month, last month, they found out who they wanted to take with them."

Jiang Kui said casually, "How are you?"

"The capital of the corpse floated out of the river, and it probably had already burned."

"It's really a death for money..."

Yang Shiming held the account book in his hand and looked a little embarrassed. He couldn't do these things, even if he didn't want to hear them.

"I won't mention this." Zhang Han smiled and said, "Old Yang, continue to talk about yours."

"Yes..." Yang Shiying swallowed his mouth and continued: "Most of the deposits of our current silver are in Tianyi warehouse. This warehouse is 180 steps north and south, 50 steps east and west, and can deposit about 500,000 taels of silver. Currently, more than 51,300 taels of silver are stored. These are large silver ingots of ten to fifty taels. The ones in the No. 1 stock are broken silver, all of which are less than five taels and more than one qian. These are mostly the income of mules and horse shops. Every month, there are more than 13,000 taels of silver. They are all wrapped in mulberry paper and packed. These broken silvers are often useful, so they are not used to melt them into silver ingots. After more, they will be withdrawn to raise them. The No. 2 stocks of copper coins, one thousand coins per string. There are more than 3,000 strings now. There are not many copper coins, and they are piled up in the corners. Only a small pile of them..."

Zhang Han nodded as he heard this, and then went to see it in person.

The warehouse of Tianyi warehouse is the same as the rest of the warehouses, with a base of stone, and then it is built with huge blue bricks all the way. There are only ventilation openings, no windows, the door is tall and heavy, wrapped in iron sheets, and the fire prevention work is very good. After pushing the door open, Zhang Han only took a look and left. There was a silver light inside, and countless silver ingots were placed on the shelf. It was shining and emitting silver light. Behind Zhang Han, a gurgling sound of saliva came.
