Chapter 841 Public and private, it is indeed very contradictory

In October of the 19558th year of the empire, the remaining power of the autumn tiger was still burning, while the vast Chuzhou plains were already rolling with golden rice waves. In the fields, hardworking people quickly harvested the rice in the fields.

October is a season of bumper harvest, and more than three months have passed since the Battle of Suzaku. However, the harvest has returned to a bumper harvest, but this year's grain output is at least half less than in previous years. There are reasons for war and the wars that are still continuing.

In October, the land of Chuzhou, which had been peaceful for two months, was once again fierce war broke out. Xiyan Prefecture and Songling Prefecture were often infiltrated by small groups of soldiers. These small groups of soldiers used classic guerrilla warfare and used familiar terrain factors to constantly cruise between the countryside, and their target was the mature large rice fields.

Whether setting fire or driving away wild animals, they are all in order to reduce the food and grass of the Holy Church to the greatest extent and keep them from stolen.

The disaster to the territory of the Holy Church was successful, and destruction was always more difficult than construction. However, just as Chuxi was fighting guerrillas, the Tang army trapped in Xiaoxiang Prefecture seemed to have recovered from the fatigue of the war, organized troops to launch a breakthrough against the various troops besieged it.

The war seemed to have fallen on the land of Chuzhou again, which also made this late autumn very noisy.

In the Zhuque City, the military envoys' yamen, Leng Zhuo lay on the cool rattan chair, hiding under the shade of the tree, listening to the last chirping of the autumn cicadas on the tree, squinted his eyes as if he was about to fall asleep.

The people from the imperial envoy left. According to the journey, they were probably out of the estuary of Tianhe River and headed north by sea. Now no one can stop Leng Zhuo from the entire Zhuque City. Even Chen Nan, the former Marquis of Pingnan, has become much more low-key. Under this situation, Leng Zhuo's control over the land of the Nine Palaces of Chuzhou is gradually strengthening.

The government of the participating government has completely taken over the power of the former prefectures and counties, and directly commanded the nine prefectures, 263 counties and two cities. This kind of vertical leadership has reduced countless intermediate links. In addition, Leng Zhuo has the most powerful think tanks, which are both civil and military.

Zhuge Liang was the prime minister in Shu Han for many years. He assisted the unsupported A Dou for more than ten years and fought against Wei and Wu. It can be said that he supported a country with one person's strength. It can be said that Zhuge Liang was a military advisor in troubled times and a capable minister in governing the world.

Guo Jia died early, so there was not much praise in government affairs. However, in the late Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms could maintain peace in the country and the martial arts could determine the country. He was naturally unable to deal with affairs.

Xie Xuan, Xie Jiabaoshu, the prime minister of the Jin Dynasty, can be said that at that time, the court was full of kings and children of the Xie family. It was their job to handle government affairs, and fighting wars was a guest appearance.

Wu Zixu, one of the seven heroes of the Warring States Period, was also a person who could fight and dismount and behave.

Liu Bowen, the prime minister of the early Ming Dynasty, was not only a perfect match on the battlefield, but also a good master in governing the court.

There are also Pang Tong, Xun Yu and others who are all talented people, and they can make people laugh. However, Leng Zhuo has many such talented people gathered in his hands. If he can't even play with the nine prefectures in Chuzhou, that would be a joke.

Leng Zhuo only needs to take out some knowledge that has surpassed that era. However, discussing with these military advisors in politics, a specific implementation step will be soon released, and Leng Zhuo does not even need to be too irritated. Leng Zhuo does not need to worry about loyalty to his subordinates and waste his brains on balancing and restraining, so Leng Zhuo naturally becomes very leisurely.

"What are you thinking about the matter of Miao State borrowing troops!" Nangong Yuhu sat on the side of the rattan chair, peeling a fruit from the wild jungle in his hand, and asked a little lazy.

Leng Zhuo tightened the Beicheng Bingxin who was hugging in his arms. Although he didn't need to fear the scorching heat at all with his ability, he still liked to hold Beicheng Bingxin, a natural refrigerator. The slippery skin of tentacles was always cold and cool, making people unable to say it was cool. Beicheng Bingxin also completely fell into depravity after Leng Zhuo continued to gain a ruthless attitude.

"Aren't you negotiating the terms? You can help them, but we always get some benefits. It's not that the jungle is full of treasures, and we also need barbarians to help us develop those resources!"

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the vast jungle area to the south is completely worthless and full of dangers, but for Leng Zhuo, this is a huge treasure house. Not only does it contain a large number of monsters, but also a large number of rare trees. Under the trees, there are a large number of resources, and they are all untapped.

A Red Earth City provided Leng Zhuo with millions of weapons and more than 200,000 armors. In the jungle, Leng Zhuo's prospecting team discovered at least one silver mine, two black iron mines, and a bronze mine. Although the mining area was not large, these were all found in the jungle mountains near Hongtu City, and more areas were still covered with a layer of veil.

At least I learned from Sofia and Yuji that there was a huge jungle mountain range thousands of miles south, but behind the mountain range there was a powerful barbarian tribe, the Sunset Empire, where Sofia escaped.

Compared with the wild jungle, the nine states of the empire have been developed for thousands of years. Most of the various ore resources are in newly opened remote areas of the border, such as Zhongzhou. There are only some small mineral resources and it is difficult to mine. Real large and rich mines are only available in places where people are rarely visited.

Nangong Yuhu has a deep sense of this. The Nangong family also had some contact with the Dayue Miao Kingdom, but that kind of contact was very low-level. It was no match for the present. This guy harmed a woman, but he got a good son in disguise. The child has now become a bridge between them.

Now the connection between the Miao Kingdom of Dayue and Leng Zhuo is becoming more and more closely connected. A large number of precious medicinal materials, monster skin, fur, magic core, and precious trees from the jungle are continuously transported out, but a lot of their silks, processed porcelain, lacquerware and even salt are traded. This is a brand new market, and it is also a monopoly market.

Every time this transaction is conducted, it is equivalent to making wealth climb higher. Especially now, there are constant wars in Jiuzhou. Relying on the healing techniques of the earth spirit masters and heavenly spirit masters, forget it. There are not many people who understand this ability, and even if there are, they will not be used on ordinary soldiers. The cheap price of herbs naturally becomes a large number of consumables. And only they can provide such a large number of herbs for trading, and the price is naturally ten times higher than usual, and it is absolutely huge profits.

During the more than a year of cooperation with the Leng family, the wealth of the Nangong family increased at least, faster than grabbing money. Especially with the help of the Nangong family, Ping An Bank also blossomed everywhere in Yangzhou, and even blossomed under the rule of Prince Qing. Ping An gold and silver notes were in Chu and Yangzhou. In the part of the Nangong family in Yangzhou, the bank's bonus alone was a huge number.

War is always a good time to get rich!

Nangong Yuhu hurriedly and said, "But you have been talking for too long. It's almost half a year. I haven't even discussed one, two or three yet. This delay is next year. You are not able to get through money!"

Leng Zhuo reached out his hand and hooked Nangong Yuhu's willow waist, grabbed Nangong Yuhu's erect jade rabbit, and laughed and said, "Your husband, I look like the kind of person who is rich but not profitable? The army moves, but there are tens of thousands of gold coins. Those damn Tang soldiers are jumping around with the grasshoppers in the autumn. They feel that the Tang soldiers do not receive military pay. If I die one, there will be hundreds of gold coins. If there is not money in the bank, I will be bankrupt!"

"Don't worry, I asked You Ji to take people to the jungle three months ago. We were so disgusted by the situation there. If we really wanted to take down that tribe, we wouldn't have a good idea. How to divide the benefits? I'm not a big sucker. I'll always get some real benefits. I heard that the tribe's priests use gold utensils, and the entire altar is covered with gold. Tsk tsk, if there is no big gold mine vein, who would believe it!"

"Gold Mine?" At this moment, even Beicheng Bingxin, who was equipped with an ostrich, ignored the shyness. She raised her head and said in surprise.

"Is there really a gold mine?" Nangong Yuhu said with stars in his eyes.

"Look at you two, what's wrong with it? There are not only gold mines, but also gem mines, authentic blood red stones. The news sent back said that they found such a large piece!"

Leng Zhuo gestured with his hands. When the two women heard this, their eyes widened a little. Sure enough, women are all born in the year of the Dragon. Although Nangong Yuhu and Beicheng Bingxin are all children of big families, with high vision and always look tall and above, they are not as good as the world's fireworks. But in fact, the big family is very strict, and each family member only has a fixed monthly salary. For ordinary people, the money is naturally very generous, but for them, it is tight. Moreover, in the future, they have to take care of family affairs, so they will learn to manage finances and manage their own industries since they were young.

"I know you are the most smart and invincible, husband!" Nangong Yuhu rushed up directly, and the jade rabbit on his chest pressed directly against Leng Zhuo's chest, blinking his charming eyes with temptation.

"Stop, I have no objection to you for the benefit of the Nangong family, but you can't elbows, you can't get rid of your elbows. This is a gold mine and a gem, and you can't divide it!"

"Tsk, people are like that, but you won't plan to confiscate this mine, right?" Nangong Yuhu said with a blink of an eye.

"This?" Leng Zhuo was really hesitant. Since the establishment of the Secretariat and the government, public and private have actually been separated. Leng Zhuo cannot pay his own money to fight, and war benefits cannot be put into his own pocket. This is not formal. It is okay now, but if a country is established, there will be chaos sooner or later if there is no distinction between public and private affairs.

Therefore, after Leng Zhuo controlled the Nine Prefectures of Chuzhou, he began to reform. The Secretariat handled the private industries of the Hou Mansion, such as chain inns, chain carriages, and ships. The government in the government took over taxes, land transfers, and various home confiscations and seizures, as well as war proceeds.

Sending troops to take down that tribe should naturally be considered as public income. Earnings from mines and gems and veins will be charged into the accounts of the inner government, rather than the private accounts of the secretariat.

"This is a problem!" Leng Zhuo discovered that sometimes people are very conflicted. Although the nine palaces of Chuzhou should be allocated to him and placed in his own pocket, he felt that it was better to put them in his own close-fitting pocket. After all, spending money from the inner palace is not free from spending the money in his own hands, and Zhuge Liang and the guys would probably not let Leng Zhuo spend money casually.

Unexpectedly, Leng Zhuo encountered such a painful thing when the public and private family were separated! It was really painful. Leng Zhuo couldn't help but catch Nangong Yuhu who mentioned this and harshly grabbed the jade rabbit!
