Chapter 604

Xiao MuQing, Liang Qi, Ziying and Guyue, the four commanders, all went to the Zhanghe River to recruit water troops. When he left, Xiao MuQing was the first to ask Wang Kai for money. He was not polite. The lion opened his mouth and asked for 1 million taels of silver. A soldier's salary for a month is only 800 yuan. He needs 1 million taels at a time. Even if the cost of weapons and military funds is deducted, he can recruit as many as 50000 or 600000 people. Wang Kai didn't know what Xiao MuQing wanted so much money for, but Tang Yin had already said something in advance and asked him to cooperate fully. Wang Kai was inconvenient to ask more questions. He put forward a million taels of silver from the bank and gave it to Xiao MuQing.

Xiao MuQing left contentedly. When Liang Qi, Zi Ying, and Gu Yue came back to collect the silver, there was not much silver left in the bank. The total amount of silver that the three finally raised was less than 1 million taels. It can be said that Xiao MuQing's share was equal to the sum of the other three.

In fact, as Tang Yin said, there must be brave men under a high reward. Many Ningren heard that the Fengjun were treated equally. No matter they were Fengren or Ningren, they were paid the same amount, and they were very rich. People rushed to join the army.

Xiao MuQing had the most money in his hands, and when he recruited, he gave the most military salaries. Naturally, he attracted the most people to join the army. The recruitment office of the plain army is full of people, but the recruitment offices of the other three armies are sparsely populated.

At the same time, Tang Yin was very leisurely in Qingyuan City, and his most important work every day was drinking and eating. He was very clear that if he wanted to stabilize the situation in Hedong, he first had to win over those high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the county city. These people were basically Ning people, and they were also highly respected in Hedong. Only by winning their support, could Fengguo enjoy long-term stability and peace in Hedong. In the capital of the county, he would invite those rich people in Qingyuan City to have a banquet every day. Whether he was willing to have a party or not, he had to do it.

Now Hedong has fallen into the hands of Fengguo, and the former rich and noble people of Ningguo have lost their foundation all of a sudden. They are afraid of being persecuted by Fengguo. They live in a nervous atmosphere every day. If they can't go out, they will try not to go out. However, their families are in Hedong, and they can't go out if they want to. So they need to find new objects to depend on. At this time, Tang Yinxiang When they threw olive branches, both sides naturally fell in love. All the rich and noble people who received Tang Yin's invitation were glad to come and take advantage of the opportunity to have dinner to get closer to Tang Yin.

The first group of people invited by Tang Yin were the owners of eight most influential families in Qingyuan and even Hedong area, namely Deng Ping, Cao Hai, Peng Yu, Zeng an, Xiao Qing, Tian Ju, Dong Jian and Yuan Chunan. These eight families are the generations of wealth and wealth in Hedong. They basically monopolize the agriculture, industry and Commerce of Hedong. If Tang Yin wants a stable and peaceful Hedong area, it is very important for Tang Yin to win the support of the eight rich and noble families. If they want to survive in Hedong, they can only rely on Tang Yin.

When the eight owners came to the capital of the county, each of them brought a valuable gift. Each of them was a rare treasure that had been treasured for a long time. After entering the main hall of the capital of the county and meeting Tang Yin, the eight people quickly knelt down to give a big ceremony, and all of them kowtow to Tang Yin.

Tang Yin had known about the eight people's lives in advance, but he was very polite to them. He sat on the mat, bowed slightly, waved his hand, and said with a smile, "eight gentlemen, please get up!"

Their seats were already ready. When the eight people got up, the servants below quickly stepped forward and led them to their respective seats. Seeing that all the people were seated, Tang Yinfang said leisurely, "this time I invite you to come, mainly to make you feel at ease."

Hearing the speech, the eight people were all very excited and cast their eyes on Tang Yin.

Tang Yin continued with a smile: "although Hedong has returned to the gale, you can rest assured that our Fengguo will not deliberately make trouble to you because you are Ningren. On the contrary, as long as you are willing to submit to Fengfeng, I will not commit any offence to your family business, and will open a convenient door for you."

After hearing this, eight people agreed to see each other, nodded, and then said: "villain, thank you king!" Before they met Tang Yin, they also thought that Tang Yin was a cruel and vicious monarch. But now they see him, they feel totally different from what they think. Tang Yin is not only young and handsome, but also very peaceful. His smiling appearance and approachable attitude have nothing to do with the tyrant.

Tang Yin laughed at the crowd and said, "you are welcome. I regard you as friends. Since you are friends, we should help each other. I will protect your family property and create convenient conditions for you. How can you help me

Everyone was stunned. Tang Yin, as a monarch, should even match them with their friends. This is incredible to them. But they are not stupid. Of course, they understand that the latter half of the sentence is the key point of Tang Yin's speech. Eight people looked at each other, and finally Deng Ping said, "I don't know what the king wants me to do?"

Tang Yin said with a smile: "you should all know that in recent years, there have been many wars, and our army has suffered heavy casualties. We need to recruit troops in Hedong area to fill in the troops and establishment. However, recruitment requires money. At present, the county's Treasury is empty. I hope you can contribute to the country."At this time, they finally understood that Tang Yin wanted them to donate money. The more wealth a person has, the more generous he will be. It is difficult for these rich people to donate money to the court of Ningguo, let alone to Fengguo. After hearing this, people looked at each other with no words.

Seeing this, Tang Yin raised his eyebrows, quietly picked up the wine pot, poured a glass of wine, and then took a leisurely drink. He asked with a smile: "what? When the country needs it, are you not willing to do so? "

Deng Ping spat at his throat and asked with a stiff head, "how much money does the king ask me to donate?"

He asked directly, Tang Yin also answered simply, said: "100000 Liang."

For eight people, one hundred thousand taels is calculated separately, and each of them is more than ten thousand taels. For eight of them, more than ten thousand taels of silver is not much. Eight people's faces recovered a little, but before they could speak, Tang Yin added with a smile: "100000 Liang per person."

Go! The eight nearly vomited blood on the spot, with 100000 taels per person. This is not a small amount. You should know that the prime minister's first-class senior officials only receive 300 taels of money a month, which is only 3000 Liang a year, while Tang Yin's mouth is 100000 taels. It's hard for any of the eight people to take out such a large amount of money, and it's very painful.

"King, this" Deng Ping said with a look of embarrassment and trembling: "this is too much"

just after his voice fell, he suddenly heard a crackling sound beside him. Cao Hai angrily patted the table, stood up, and said in a loud voice, "king, we are all ordinary businessmen, and we can earn 8000 silver every year. Now you ask us for 100000 Liang, which is too strong It's hard "

Cao Hai is one of the most irascible of the eight people. He is also quite upright, has a strong sense of righteousness and likes to make friends. Although he has the least family wealth, he has the most extensive contacts.

Tang Yin looked at Cao Hai, who was full of anger. He chuckled and said slowly, "brother Cao, don't be angry! For all of you, I know something about it. It may be difficult for each of you to take out 1.8 million taels, but 100000 Liang is only a small sum of money for you. If you refuse to pay such a small sum of money at a time of national crisis, how can I believe your loyalty to me? "

Cao Hai looked at Tang Yin's eyes without fear and looked at him for a long time. Suddenly, he looked up and laughed.

"What is brother Cao laughing at?" Tang Yin asked inexplicably

Cao Hai said, "I'm laughing at the king!"

"Laugh at me?"

"Businessmen like me should really ask the king for advice and learn his business skills." Cao Hai talked freely, but the other seven were in a cold sweat. Deng Ping, who was sitting next to him, pulled his sleeve and hinted that he would not say more. But Cao Hai ignored him and continued: "the king asked us to pay Ningren to recruit Ningren and then use Ningren to fight Ningren in Hexi. After a long time, it was our Ningguo's internal friction, which had nothing to do with the king and Fengguo This kind of business without capital is well done by the king. Shouldn't businessmen like us learn from him? "

Hearing this, all the people present took a breath. They were not awakened by Cao Hai's words. Even if he didn't say it, people knew that was the truth. But when he said this in front of Tang Yin, didn't they find it awkward?

Tang Yin still looks at Cao Hai with a smile. However, the strong murderous spirit has been emitted from him. The murderous spirit is invisible, but it can make everyone in the scene feel it. It seems that the air around him has solidified and the temperature has dropped several degrees.

At this time, Wang Kai, who was accompanying the banquet, realized that Tang Yin had killed him. He quickly stood up, walked quickly to Tang Yin, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cao must have been drunk. What he said is drunk. I hope the king will show mercy. Don't blame Mr. Cao."

Wang Kai used to be the city master of Qingyuan City and had a deep personal relationship with Cao Hai. This time Tang Yin invited eight of them. Cao Hai didn't want to come. Wang Kai forced him to take advantage of this opportunity to get closer to Tang Yin. Fengguo would not trouble him in the future. Instead, Cao Hai didn't close the relationship with Tang Yin, but mocked him in public, which scared Wang Kai out Cold sweat all over the body.

"Too much? Brother Cao hasn't had a sip of wine since he joined the banquet. How could he drink too much? Even if he drinks too much, he speaks the truth after drinking. It seems that brother Cao hates me as well as gale? " Tang Yin asked with a flat smile.

Wang Kai waved his hands again and again, and was about to speak, but Cao Hai said first: "yes! Since ancient times, Hedong has been the territory of Ningguo in China. It's your strong country that occupied Hedong. You're not ashamed to say that you want to recover the lost land. It's just bullshit! "
