After some meditation, the defender’s face was full of dignity, and a strange smile appeared.
Zhang Wu looked at the big answer with a pair of worried eyes.
"Let’s do that and pay all the troops in Shaanxi and Shaanxi provinces … because these officials have their own way to pay …"
Speaking of which, Wei Zheng’s tone of voice has unconsciously become serious to Zhang Wuda’s decision that "according to the current food price, it is not enough for ordinary soldiers to buy two taels of food a month to satisfy the soldiers. Handsome decided to raise the monthly salary of ordinary soldiers to four taels of silver …"
"You know, it’s best for the imperial court to pay only three taels of silver a month in Ningjun … If we are as high as four taels, most of the villagers in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will be moved …"
"Ordinary troops pay four taels of silver a month. After entering the Tiger and Leopard Army, ordinary soldiers pay six taels of silver a month."
Even though Zhang Wu is ready for Wei Zheng’s upcoming pay increase, he still didn’t expect Wei Zheng to increase the pay directly to more than double the original.
At this time, a face of shock, Zhang Wu did not answer the horse, but fell into deep thought, thinking about the amount of pay that Shanshan Governor’s Office would have to bear in a month after the army increased its pay.
I don’t know. I was shocked …
In the face of nearly one million Liang in a year, Zhang Wu’s first reaction was to bear it by the Governor’s Office.
Zhang Wu, a military commander, doesn’t believe that the annual income of Shanshan Governor’s Office will exceed that of the imperial court because one million taels of silver is almost incompatible with the annual tax revenue of the imperial court.
Besides, in addition to supporting hundreds of thousands of troops, the Shaanxi Governor’s Office also has several civil and military officials to support.
So a full face of shock, Zhang Wu almost woke up consciously, "Marshal … This is really a million taels of silver …"
I have thought that these silver-coming road signs have not been scared by this number.
You know, the arable land area in Shanxi has reached an astonishing 70 million mu in later generations. Even if one-seventh of the land, that is, 10 million mu, is reclaimed, you can get three million less grain taxes from these wasteland.
Three million taels of grain are sold to other provinces, even if they are sold at five taels of silver, that is a total wealth of fifteen million taels of silver.
And this is still noodles …
With the bumper harvest of grain, the grain prices in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will definitely drop to a certain extent.
At that time, if the governor-general orders that all the grain in the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shaanxi can be exported by the governor-general of Shaanxi, millions of tons of grain can be earned by exporting grain alone.
10 million mu of fertile land, according to one mu of land, the output is 15 million tons of grain, 3 million tons of rations, 5 million tons of grain will flow into the market …
By then, the grain prices in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will drop by one or two silver per load, and the grain prices in other provinces will increase by one or two silver per load, so they can get the difference of two or two silver from each load of grain …
The 7 million-ton grain price difference department adds up to 14 million taels of silver …
This alone can meet the needs of the army for one year after its pay increase, and even guarantee the money needed for several foreign battles.
Therefore, I made a decision to double my salary without thinking about this account.
However, in front of Zhang Wu, Wei Zheng didn’t explain it, but answered confidently, "You don’t worry about General Zhang’s salary. Now that Shuai dares to say it, there is a specific solution … What you need to do is to implement it …"
"It’s a guard …" A full face of doubt Zhang Wu can put away his worries and answer.
At this time, Wei Zheng continued, "There is another way to increase the enthusiasm of the people to participate in the garrison besides the accident of increasing their salaries …"
"Tell those villagers to join the garrison not only to get paid, but if there is no garrison to protect Shaanxi rebels, they will break into their homes and kill their loved ones, so that they will be hungry again …"
"Handsome believe that refugees and soldiers are two choices. The villagers in Shanxi Province will certainly work hard to build their homes and make a very wise choice. When the time comes, waiting for you will no longer be that no one participates in the garrison, but that there are too many people participating in the garrison to make you picky …"
Zhang Wu’s eyes lit up and he cried excitedly, "Marshal Ying … will do the horse at the end …"
After that, he rushed out of the meeting hall without waiting for Wei Zheng to respond …
Chapter two hundred and ninety Foreign Trade Department
Zhang Wu has something to do and has not been idle.
Because of this incident, Wei Zheng suddenly found that commerce and trade are also a means of making profits. Not only that, but this way is also very, very profitable …
Do a good job, not only can you earn hundreds of thousands of soldiers in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, but you can also earn the salary and office experience of all officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces …
It is necessary to know that the financial tax that the later society really supports the whole country is not land, but commerce.
Thought of these WeiZheng directly to the door guards ordered
"Inform strategist … Datong magistrate Wang Daren Malay governor room I have something important to report …"
The room was illuminated by a few candles. When Kelly Y Zhou and Wang Peng just came in, Wei Zheng was writing something seriously at his desk …
Seeing that these two people are sitting quietly waiting for Wei Zheng to finish writing his things …
It took half an hour … to finish writing.
Glancing at the front of the table, Kelly Y Zhou and Wang Peng defender Zheng directly picked up the plan just written and said, "Master Wang, the strategist … this is an idea of the officer during the day. You should see what your opinions are first, though …"
With a hint of incomprehension, the two men quickly turned their attention to the plan handed over by Wei Zheng …
After the plan is in the hands of two people, first of all, their vision is the first few characters …
"The establishment of foreign trade department plan …"
After seeing this title, two people’s eyes were immediately attracted to the past, with a full face of expectation, wanting to see the concrete plan.
I don’t know if I look at it, but I’m shocked …
These two civil servants didn’t expect that a small foreign trade gap could bring more than 10 million taels of silver a year to the governor’s office in Shanshan …
Although two people don’t know what foreign trade is, the figures of more than ten million taels of silver a year are clear, and of course they are full of doubts about this income.
Wei Zheng seemed to guess what they were thinking, but he didn’t have a horse to explain it. Instead, he asked, "You both talk about who should bear the responsibility of the director of the foreign trade department …"
"The official plan says … this foreign trade department chief must understand business and have seen the world, otherwise he can’t control the position of foreign trade department chief and it is impossible to earn so much money for us … in addition, this foreign trade department chief level is the same as Datong magistrate level …"
Kelly Y Zhou shook his head and answered, "Adult officials know that several people meet these requirements, but they are all reading animals … not to mention knowing business and not even doing business … there is no candidate here …"
Wei Zheng stared at Wang Peng and said, "There is no candidate here … after all, the official rank is Zhengsi … and there is no candidate in the officer’s heart … it is the officer who has a discussion …"
"What’s the discussion though said … is good for the establishment of foreign trade department officer must adopt …" Weizheng nodded affirmation.
Weizheng nodded in approval. Wang Peng replied, "Your Excellency, if you want to say that this discussion is enlarged, there may be some big mistakes … If you don’t recognize it properly, just forget it …"
"The official idea is that since the director of the foreign trade department wants to know business and be very good at business … why don’t we just find a businessman to take charge of the director of the foreign trade department?"
"Businessmen are the people who understand business communication best and attach the most importance to interests. If we can kill the director of the foreign trade department, the foreign trade department will make a lot of money for us every year …"
"Besides … our businessmen in the Dynasty are the most disadvantaged people … if we can order him to be the chief of the foreign trade department, I believe that the chief of the foreign trade department will do his best to help us earn money from other provinces."
Wei Zheng nodded with a thoughtful face and replied, "That’s a good idea. Do you have a good candidate …"
Wang Peng answered seriously, "One of them just doesn’t know whether adults are satisfied or not."
