People can't escape from poverty when they are alive, so what should they do if they don't have money?
Naturally, it’s oily!
The official salary of the Wu Dynasty has always been the lowest among all dynasties. After serving in the army for six years and being promoted to captain, he only got twelve taels of silver in one year. It seems a lot but in reality it is not much at all. The total military salary of nine years of serving in the army cannot even cover it. The investment before joining the army, in the final analysis, all the investment depends on the Yongye field obtained after retirement.
As for even entering the military camp gate before the age of 21, it can only mean that some people are throwing their money into the water.
Therefore, making money in the army has always been a secret matter for each army in the Wu Dynasty. Each battalion repeatedly prohibited it, and eventually it became their own secret.
If you have a location advantage for smuggling, if you don't have a location advantage, you will still find ways to get extra supplies.
Like now, the goods from the public and the grassland are concentrated in one place and sold openly, and there are also opportunities to get them. This is undoubtedly the favorite situation of the veterans in the military.
In the early morning, the Jurchen army entered the city, and in the afternoon, the East Market exploded.
Under the shouts, all kinds of goods with added value were quickly cleared away. Before the Northland merchants could take action, the military quartermasters and veteran Youzi had already taken action.
Those who had money moved away furs, Dongzhu, and medicinal materials in boxes and boxes, while those who had no money turned their money into small items and stuffed them into their sleeves.
The market is active, and the tax items responsible for collecting taxes in Dongshi are happy. Not only did they lose their performance today, but they also got a little bit of profit from the fat.
If you don't dare to be greedy for these tax items, you can exchange it for material tax items and use your own money to pay for it, but no one will take care of it.
"It's lively, isn't it?"
In the Dongshi tea room, Old Man Xia put his hands in his sleeves and leaned against the railing, smiling like an old bustard.
"kindness!"
Fang Fang, who was caught drinking tea in the teahouse, stood behind Old Man Xia, "If I remember correctly, in the past, individuals could not participate in this kind of business?"
Old Man Xia nodded, "If you hadn't broken the joint, they wouldn't have had this chance. To a certain extent, they thank you!"
The military merits of the Wu Dynasty are fair, but when it comes to money, Hubu has always been ruthless and eager to squeeze out all the oil and water. Even if he knows that eating them all may cause choking and indigestion, Hubu will still choose Take it by force, instead of giving the opportunity to the armies and veterans like now.
Even though all parties have their own ways, what they eat is always the leftovers that cannot be digested by the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"No need to thank me. The things I have may be useful, but I need to look at them. If I guess correctly, old man, you must be under a lot of pressure during this time!"
It's better to eat by force than to eat by force. At least the accounts are easy to handle. One incoming amount corresponds to one outgoing amount. As for the time required for turnover, how has it been done in the past three hundred years? What's the problem?
Habits become natural, people are lazy, and what they fear most is change.
No one can say what will happen after the change. It may make things better or worse. In addition, the risks are uncontrollable. Any reformer needs to bear huge pressure. Successful criticism is only a little less. Not completely eliminated.
"When I do things, it's not the younger generation's turn to speak. Despite my age, my words still have some weight!"
"Old man, to be honest, I have always been very suspicious of who it is. An imperial merchant in the inner palace may have money and people, but he will never have the courage you have. And today Xiaohu saw it, and I saw it too, above the city gate. The person standing behind you should be Nian Run, right?"
Fang Fang doesn’t want to be a fool.
He had already suspected Old Man Xia's identity, not once or twice.
Having been tempered by society in his previous life, he never believed in luck. When faced with anything extraordinary, he would analyze it with the utmost malice.
One thing and two things can still be explained, but if you have multiple insights combined, you can't just explain them.
Xiaohu said that my sister is related to the direct descendant of the royal family. Maybe she is a certain prince or the daughter of a county prince. She has a detailed relationship with the court. The whole family of the Wu Dynasty is very protective of the royal family. The equation is similar, but there are several messages from my sister. It seems that there is no problem with my sister's identity.
But what about the princess?
Don't look at the fact that Wu Chao is now a woman, and the empress is coming to the court, not to mention sons over daughters, but a woman is still a woman who has lost her family. Even if she is the daughter of a prince, she has much ability.
It may not be difficult to help once or twice, but what about multiple times?
Especially for a national policy such as work-for-relief, which consumes a lot of resources, consumes time, and has a slow payback cycle, it is more difficult to promote than to execute. Without a strong, deep-rooted, and hugely influential person to promote it, it cannot be promoted at all. If similar plans are sent to you, most of them will be left to gather dust in a corner of the palace.
If there is no problem with my sister, then there will be no problem with Lao Pu. If there is a problem with Fang Fang, it can only be Old Man Xia.
"My surname is Xia. With your clever mind, can you really not think of it?"
Old Man Xia spread his hands, "Or maybe you and I have such a good relationship that you didn't think about it?"
Good guy?
I thought that Old Man Xia would make some excuses, but I didn't expect that he would be assigned directly.
"No way, changing your identity will put us, Master Fang, under pressure?" Old Man Xia joked.
From the day Fang Fang left Tai'an City, Old Man Xia knew that his identity could not be kept secret for long, but he would not take the initiative to reveal it unless Fang Fang mentioned it.
"Nothing about this, just a sigh that my luck has gotten better!"
"Having good luck also requires ability. There are many people who know me in this world, but I don't pay much attention to you. The first one I help you is for your sister's sake, and the ones I help later are just to help you. I, do you know, from the day you saw through the Song Dynasty people trading rice for noodles, I had someone check you out!"
Old Man Xia turned around and stared at the equation with bright eyes.
"What's the result?"
To be honest, Equation also wants to know where he came from?
"No, nothing. You seem to be outside Tai'an City out of thin air. But you don't have to worry. Many people in the court have already tested you. Our court has never played tricks. Anyone who has the heart and talents will be with the court. If you know how to use it, no matter how capable you are, we will provide you with a platform to grow bigger!"
It looks like an explanation, but it is actually a message.
"I have no doubt about this!"
The imperial edict was obtained, the second rank of Jinshi was added, and the title of concubine and military merit was added. Behind the seemingly reward for meritorious service, it was not an endorsement, but an endorsement of Fang Fang's identity.
"As long as you don't doubt it, it means you are a truly smart person. As a smart person, can you promise me?" Old Man Xia said with a smile.
Smart people can also be divided into big smart people and small smart people. If the equation is entangled with identity and thinks about those things that are available and not available all day long, they will not get endorsement.
Hearing this, Fang Fang shook his head, "The number of national debt cannot be solved by just thinking about it. I need to fully understand the situation of the bank, especially the current deposit and loan situation. The more detailed the better. After all, this is the first issuance. The content that needs to be considered involves all aspects. Word of mouth and credibility seem to be the least things to worry about. After all, national debt is a new product. If possible, I also need to understand the general situation of work-for-relief!"
The issuance of national bonds benefits the country and the people if it is done well, but harms the country and the people if it is not done so.
Equation is not a relevant expert. Even if an expert faced the weak market situation of Wu Dynasty, he could not come up with a suitable plan even if he was bald. Therefore, in terms of the scale of the first phase, Equation could only choose to be conservative.
