Chapter 418

After Zhang Hao arrived in Xuanhua, Yu Wanpeng and Sun Qihai also arrived at Zhang Hao's mansion. Zhang Hao learned that they were coming, and immediately invited them in.

"I've seen the master!" The two of them immediately bowed to Zhang Hao. Now they admire Zhang Hao very much. They also knew some of the things in the capital. They were brought by those merchants. They knew that Zhang Hao killed the King of Chu and the King of Jin died because of Zhang Hao.

Now, Zhang Hao is fine, but the king of Chu is not only the king of Chu, but also the king of Jin. It can be seen how much Zhang Hao is respected in front of the emperor.

"Well, come and sit down. This time I'm here to see you. Look at everyone. Isn't it good? This is the time?" Zhang Hao sat there, asked them to sit down, and said, and soon the Jinyiwei brought tea.

"It's very good. I know anyway, Lao Sun is there now, and his daily income is dozens of taels of silver!" Yu Wanpeng said to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Well, if you have it, it's all given by those merchants, just tea and money. Anyway, I'll take the small money here, but I can't violate the laws of our Ming Dynasty and let them evade taxes. I also turn a blind eye to the others, but it's also good for the great masters. Your shop now has goods out every day!" Sun Qihai also said to Zhang Hao and the others with a smile.

"That's good, that's good. Now I also hope that you can make money through this level, but this money cannot be from the court. Also, whether it is to give money or not, remember, don't make things difficult for merchants. Those merchants are the source of our Ming Dynasty tax revenue, and you can't make things difficult for them. If I know you make things difficult for him, then that won't be the case then, so you must remember this!" Zhang Hao sat there, looking at Sun Qihai and spoke.

"Yes, sir. Don't worry, I remind those people every day that you can collect money, but those who have not received the money cannot show their faces. They are given money for tea and water. If they give it, we will not give it to them. We cannot hold grudges. sir, please rest assured about this!" Sun Qihai continued to say to Zhang Hao. Zhang Hao heard it and nodded again.

"You are also staring at those generals. If you want to make money, it is legal. Don't cause trouble for yourself or cause trouble for us. After all, once you are arrested, many people will lose their heads, so please remind me!" Zhang Hao said to Yu Wanpeng.

"Don't worry, sir, we know!" Yu Wanpeng nodded and said.

"Well, you should train soldiers well on your side. I guess you won't give up. If you don't come this year, you will come next year. They have been staring at our Ming Dynasty, hoping to defeat our Ming Dynasty, and we also need to find opportunities to kill them. But it's not possible now. Our Ming army is still in training, and there is not much money in the court to support the Ming army's expedition, but preparations still need to be done!" Zhang Hao explained to Yu Wanpeng.

"I understand, but sir, if our Ming army really wants to go to the desert, it may not be possible to have money. The key is that those weapons and equipment are still not possible. The weapons used by the soldiers have been using for many years, and the same is true for armor. If you really want to fight, repairing those weapons and armor will also require a lot of pig iron.

In recent months, we have received less than 10,000 kilograms of pig iron repair, which is not enough. I heard that all pig iron was assigned to the army of the Imperial Guard and several other dukes, but our border troops also need pig iron!" Yu Wanpeng looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"I know this, but I heard that our Imperial Guard has not gotten much pig iron. It seems that it is less than 20,000 kilograms per month!" Zhang Hao said to Yu Wanpeng.

"Sir, you don't know that the production of my Ming Dynasty pig iron is enough. It's enough. It's just a little output every year, and it's still for the people. Our army has not been enough. Moreover, last year, the emperor added about 300,000 troops, and these troops also need pig iron!" Yu Wanpeng looked at Zhang Hao with a wry smile, and Zhang Hao nodded.

"If there is not enough pig iron to change clothes, how can we fight then? We are not good at weapons and equipment, and we have good training, so we will have to let the soldiers die in vain at that time. This is not possible!" Yu Wanpeng said to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao heard it and nodded. He knew about this, but he just said that he didn't have time to change the status quo. There were too many problems in the Ming Dynasty and always needed to be solved one by one. The key now is the part of people's livelihood. If people's livelihood is not changed, the people should rebel. At that time, the Ming Dynasty will be in trouble.

Those vassal kings are now aggravating the conflicts between the court and the people, and those vassal kings also need to resolve them. If you want them to take out the land, it is impossible. You still need to deal with them. People are like this toast and not to eat the punishment!

"The court will have unified arrangements for this matter at that time. After I return to Beijing, I will report this matter to the emperor!" Zhang Hao said to them.

At this time, Li Mingdan came to Zhang Hao and said to Zhang Hao: "Sir, the food is ready!"

"Yes. OK, let's have a few drinks together!" Zhang Hao heard this, stood up immediately and said to them.

When they heard this, they immediately smiled and nodded, saying that they would have a drink with Zhang Hao.

After dinner, they went back, and Zhang Hao also went to rest.

The next morning, after Zhang Hao got up, he went to the checkpoint first and saw the shops outside, and a large amount of goods and merchants were trading outside.

On the city gate, there were also a large number of carriages queuing up, waiting for the goods to come out. Sun Qihai also added a lot of people. The city gate was so big that those carriages went out one after another, which was the fastest speed.

"Sir!" Sun Qihai came to Zhang Hao's side!

"How much tax can you get in a day now?" Zhang Hao asked Sun Qihai.

"Sir, I have about 12,000 taels of silver a day now, but sir, the Ministry of Revenue sent someone to escort the silver back to Beijing a few days ago! A total of 460,000 taels of silver were escorted. The Ministry of Revenue said that the money was not enough, so I escort it first!" Sun Qihai said to Zhang Hao.

"Well, I know!" Zhang Hao nodded. Zhang Hao knew about this.

"However, I also heard that many people are staring at my position now. If you weren't here for your support, I would have probably been taken down by them. Someone even wrote a letter to impeach me. The emperor asked the Censorate to review it. The Censorate also sent someone to investigate my affairs. I don't know what the conclusion is now, but I feel that they will not give me a good result.

After all, I am here, and I have to pay dozens of taels every day. I have to go out here every day and have to get more than 1,000 carriages in it. Those people give us tea and water, basically, they cost hundreds of cents each, and the fewest ones are dozens of cents. We don’t care. When we settle the accounts at night, we will share them.

Even ordinary yamen runners here can get one or two taels of silver a day! But the Censorate also thought I was corrupt, so I posted a notice asking the merchants not to give me money, but the merchants continued to throw money into our baskets. I took back the baskets and stopped putting them on the ground, so there was no way!" Sun Qihai said in great difficulty to Zhang Hao.

"Don't worry about those things. When you come here, you have met someone and have a few confidants under your command. Once something is wrong, you can ask someone to bring me a letter and bring your reply, but the premise still requires you to be strong yourself. Don't do anything randomly!" Zhang Hao said to Sun Qihai.

"Don't worry, sir, I know that there are many people here staring at me. Once I make a mistake, no one can save me!" Sun Qihai nodded immediately and said to Zhang Hao.

"It's good to know. Since you know, then do it well and don't worry about those things!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Sun Qihai.

"Yes, sir!" Sun Qihai immediately bowed and said.

"You stay here for a year at most. After a year, there are more important things to leave to you. Don't let me down. This is just a place for you to learn!" Zhang Hao said to Sun Qihai.

"I understand, thank you for your cultivation!" Sun Qihai immediately bowed and said, then looked at Zhang Hao and asked, "Sir, I don't know if you have time at noon. My family wants to treat you to a meal at home. You said that as your subordinate, you have not eaten my meal yet!"

"Your wife has also taken it?" Zhang Hao smiled and asked as he looked at Sun Qihai.

"I took it, but I'll just come here to stay for a few months. If it's cold, she'll have to go back!" Sun Qihai said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay, then it's noon. I'm going to go to the military camp. You'll keep watching here!" Zhang Hao said to Sun Qihai, and Zhang Hao immediately said happily,

Soon, Zhang Hao went to the military camp and arrived at the military camp. The participating generals and deputy generals arrived. They liked Zhang Hao now because Zhang Hao brought them a lot of wealth. The shop they built outside now can get a lot of money in less than a month. Zhang Hao is here to inspect now, of course they are very happy.

Zhang Hao took the participating generals and deputy generals to patrol the military camp to see how the soldiers trained. Then he chatted with the participating generals and deputy generals. After the conversation, the people originally wanted to invite Zhang Hao to dinner, but Zhang Hao agreed to Sun Qihai and made an appointment with those people until evening.
