In Shamen Town, since Li Jing held a night banquet on the night of the Lantern Festival, invited hundreds of merchant representatives on the island, and performed sword skills in public at the banquet, the new business administration regulations have begun to be enforced on the island.

More than a thousand shops, hundreds of warehouses on the island, as well as shopkeepers, buddies, craftsmen, guards, and civilians at the docks, were forced to go to the registration points temporarily set up at the registration points on various docks, villages, and streets to register their names and receive their ID cards.

The newly expanded reconnaissance was 200. At the first time, under the leadership of Li Wei and Xuan Cheng, Shaobing Island, which was sandwiched with the Pearl Gate waterway, was used as the training base for the reconnaissance capital, and Niutuozi Island and Yangtuozi Island were used as the two sub-bases. The three affiliated islands of Shamen Town were responsible for the comprehensive defense of the reconnaissance.

After the expansion of the military police, they immediately divided more than 200 horses into four parts according to Li Jing's instructions, and took over the four terminals of Fenghuangshan Wharf, Shikou Wharf, Taishan Wharf and Beishan Wharf, and established a garrison fortress on the wharf. In addition, Li Jing also organized an urban management team and a city guard. The former was responsible for the continuous inspection of all villages and streets of the island, and was responsible for public security patrols. If you have nothing to do, check the business licenses of the shops, check the identity cards of the shop staff and the temporary residence cards. The city guard is composed of some elderly people over the age of 50 and women, who are specifically responsible for garbage hygiene on the island.

Of course, none of this is free. No matter which item it is, Li Jing has set clear charging standards.

Within a few short periods of time, Li Jing successfully collected ten cents of money from each shop. The island's shops and warehouses totaled nearly 3,000 cents of cash, and this item alone received 30,000 cents of cash. After taking over the four wharfs, the input of the wharf was not small. On average, each boat boarded and left the wharf, at least the fee was always the same. Moreover, all the loading and unloading work on the wharf is now taken away by Li Jing, and specially designated for the newly established wharf loading and unloading team. The loading and unloading teams were originally the steeds of the civilians on the wharf. They carried the work all year round, but they worked hard in many times, but they didn't make much money and lived a hard life. Li Jing organized all these things and established a loading and unloading team.

All loading and unloading work on the dock was contracted by the dock, and then it was reasonably arranged for all docks to work in. The price of loading and unloading goods increased a lot compared to the past, and the number of people who lived in the dock was less than before, but the wages were more than before. Although the ships entering the dock were a little dissatisfied and the loading and unloading cost increased a lot, the dock is now completely in the hands of Shamen Town, and they had no other choice at all.

Money and silk were collected like water. Every time, the four wharfs had to transport the copper coins and silk cloth into cars back to the town. Every time Zhang Hong had to come to the warehouse in person. Looking at the boxes of copper coins and bushes of silk cloth, Zhang Hong's smile never stopped.

Shamen Town finally had a stable income, and it was no longer the situation of sacrificing the whole country. He, the butler, finally felt relieved.

With money, it’s easy to do things.

Last time, he extorted a large sum of money from Wang Jin and Feng Zhang, and sold the pirates' head waste to use it for a large sum of money. After all, Feng Zhang got 40,000 guan and 300 sets of equipment. Wang Jin also gained a lot, extorted 50,000 guan and a complete underground workshop. This was not the money collected by the Wang family's shops and warehouses. Those heads were also sold by Li Jing for about 50,000 guan. This time he got 30,000 guan from the merchants on the island.

After calculation, I actually had an investment of 170,000 yuan. With the remaining 50,000 yuan spent on pensions after the war, there was a total of 220,000 yuan in Shamen Town's account. For the first time, there was no deficit in the account of the town general's residence.

Without those bright red deficits, Zhang Hong felt like he had fewer mountains on his head. He was so brisk that he had entered the whole world, and his smile was always there, and he even had to drink an extra bowl of white porridge in the morning.

"General, we have 220,000 yuan in cash in our account now, so it's not a big deal to keep such a large amount of money. Even if we get rid of the money that we keep in the city, it's still very rich. In my opinion, we might as well repay the 100,000 yuan of usury owed to the Han family now. The debt is pressed on us, which always makes us feel panicked and restless. No debt is too light, so we can avoid thinking about it." Zhang Hong held the account book and followed Li Jing.

Li Jing had just come out of the military academy and was discussing some construction matters with several craftsmen on the construction site in Nancheng. Hearing Zhang Hong say this, he couldn't help but frown. Zhang Hong was indeed very attentive in charge of finance, but he had one shortcoming, which was too small peasant consciousness. Usually, the town generals used two money, but he was so stingy that he was always reluctant to let go, and he wanted to turn a copper coin into two petals.

Just like now, the town general finally got a few extra money and had some extra money. The first thing he thought about was to pay off his debts.

This kind of thinking is normal in this era and is a thought of being able to pass by. But for Li Jing, who came from later generations, this idea is too backward. What does it mean to be debt-free? For Li Jing, who came from later generations, he has to owe as much as he can. The grandson is the grandson who is the grandson who is the group of companies in later generations who do not want to lend money to the bank, and the more it is better? Using bank money to do business is called making money.

Li Jing deeply agrees with this financial concept. Since the first time he proposed to the Han family to borrow money, he has never thought about how to repay the money in the future. Although it cannot be said that Li Jing had already made up the idea of ​​not paying back the debt from the beginning, for Li Jing, he was not afraid of borrowing money, but he was afraid that he would not be able to borrow money. Although borrowing money has interest, as long as it operates well, that little interest is nothing, even if it is high interest.

"The Han family's money is still three years away. Why are you so anxious? Now, the interest rate is still so much. Why not wait until it expires." Li Jing said with some regret, "Besides, do you think we are really rich now and we won't be short of money in the future?"

Li Jing spread his hands and calculated Zhang Hong with his fingers, "This new city is urgently needed to be built. We had no money before, so we could only build the city wall first. Now we have money, you can't let everyone live in the land nest outside the city, right? It's okay now that it's colder. When the chun is opened and the rain increases, how can we live in the land nest at that time? Since we have money now, the construction plan of the new city must also be moved, and the city wall and residential areas must start construction at the same time."

"This time we expanded our army, almost all the young and strong men recruited them into the army. Although there are many people entering the island now, they have a serious lack of strong men's power. My plan is to recruit another group of young and strong men from Taishan Village and Beishan Village to build the city, and we can also go to the hometown of our soldiers and craftsmen to recruit another group of people. My idea is to only recruit young and strong men this time, and there is no need to let them bring their families here for the time being. The more they enter, the better. Within three thousand, we can digest it."

After this expansion of the army, the island's troops reached more than 4,000. The families brought by Li Jing were almost all recruited. All the young and strong people were recruited at once. Now, except for a small number of young and old people in the city and workshop, almost all the girls were entered. The demand for young and strong men on the island suddenly became huge, and Li Jing had to start preparing to recruit a group of relatives and fellow villagers from Qingning Township to come.

"The construction period of the new city is tight, and the investment must be increased. I am already preparing to withdraw 100,000 jin of money to carry out the first phase of the city wall, city defense fortifications and residential areas." Li Jing said: "In addition, we have expanded more than 4,000 troops and horses, and there is still a huge gap in weapons. Although we seized more than 1,000 sets of equipment last time and got hundreds of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets of sets

"In addition, the equipment of the auxiliary barracks that were adapted this time requires special equipment, more than a thousand stair spears, round shields, helmets, horizontal knives, and battle robes, which are quite expensive. In addition, we also need to build heavy machinery such as catapults, heavy crossbows, and all of them cost money. Although we now have craftsmen who can make it themselves, the cost is cheaper, but the materials are also cost money."

Li Jing estimated that it would cost at least 100,000 guan to provide all the equipment for the new army that had been invested in more than 4,000 yuan.

In addition to equipment money, the monthly consumption and food and wage expenditure of the new army that had been invested by more than 4,000 yuan was also a large sum of money. One was invested by one, two liters of rice, and more than 4,000 yuan was consumed by more than 300 stones per month, which was 10,000 stones of grain per month. If you add the monthly food subsidies to soldiers and the food subsidies for soldiers' families, you still have to have two or three thousand stones. Each soldier's salary would have to have tens of thousands of jin a month.

All this is money. Although recruiting soldiers is simple, it will be a team of more than 4,000 people in one go. However, it is not easy to train them. It is difficult to form an army without long-term training. Just arming their equipment money, consumption, food and salary, etc., is a piece of a nasty figure.

The money I blackmailed from Wang Jin and the others was a lot of money, but this was not something that could be found often.

Although Zhang Hong, Lin Wei and others have proposed to Li Jing whether to lower the standards for the soldiers' food and salary, this was rejected by Li Jing. The soldiers licked blood on the tip of their swords and fought desperately on the front line. If they didn't even have basic food and salary and pension rewards, then where would the morale come from? Who would still fight to the death? The combat power will inevitably decline, and even the military discipline will be gone.
