The Feng family, which has been popular for decades, cannot be said to have disappeared, but has become a legend.

...

By the time Huo Bao and his party returned to Jinling, it was already the end of November.

The real money and silver that were pulled back were counted with a ship.

The people did not know the details, but those who were well-informed knew that the Feng family's industry had been cheaper.

"The money is charming, it should be donating most of the military pay! It would be great if the Feng family fell in love with the second sister."

Uncle Zhen was talking to his brother in private.

Zhen Shan said: "If Marshal Feng's status and status, how can he not protect his private wealth? Taiwei Huo did not act greedy for money."

Uncle Zhen disagreed: "That's because I didn't like it before. It's tens of millions of taels of silver. Who can't not be jealous?"

The Zhen family is also a member of the eighteen foreign gentry who auctioned the Feng family's property.

But what their family took was not the industry, but the Feng family's prosperous shops in Jinling.

Chief Zhen Shanzhang still shook his head and said, "If Marshal Huo is really greedy, he may have an external heart."

Uncle Zhen said: "Wait, is there any news from the second sister?"

Zhen Shan said: "There is no movement."

Uncle Zhen couldn't help but frown and became angry: "Damn it! My second sister, Taoli, isn't she worthy of being a sixty-six-year-old farmer?"

Zhen Shan sighed: "Brother, this marriage is not matched... The second sister married someone, and chastity is second, and it is hard to break the flesh and blood..."

"What I'm looking at is hard to break!"

In front of his younger brother, Uncle Zhen did not hide his intentions: "Huo Jiang is too far away! Huo Jiang is a person who has to shrink his neck. Even if we get married, it is just a relative of the Taiwei Mansion. If the house of Master Huo is different... It really happens, the second sister is the eldest sister-in-law of the Taiwei, and when she gives birth to a baby, she is the Taiwei cousin, and a few of the family. Needless to say, the nephew has changed our Zhen surname and inherited the incense of your second brother. The two young ones are the Huo family's step-daughter."

Huo Shanchang was silent and did not look down on his brother's plans.

No matter how many calculations you make, they will have to accept them.

Taiwei Huo did not re-string or took concubines, and he was able to do the best and the lower level. The senior officials rarely showed their eyes on women.

After arriving in Jinling for more than two months, only Ma Liuye took over a beautiful concubine, but the others seemed like monks.

Since they can see that Master Huo has different identities, others can’t see it?

Zhen Ermei is already married to two women, so she can’t compare to the girls in the boudoir.

If Master Huo really wants to re-string, it may not be his turn to the Zhen family.

...

Historian.

Mr. Shi also talked to his nephew about Feng's family affairs: "I am optimistic about Marshal Feng. Do you really want to donate silver? If you donate silver, do you want to donate willingly or reluctantly..."

Shi Jin and Shi Cong's cousins ​​looked at each other, and they were puzzled.

Shi Jin said: "Dad, my son is under the command of the Taiwei, and he is not familiar with Feng Shuai."

Shi Congze said: "Uncle, if you really want to donate, the movement will not be small, and you will know without asking."

Mr. Shi was worried.

"Dad is worried that the Taiwei is thinking about Feng Shuai's money? Don't worry, the Taiwei is generous and doesn't care about money... Otherwise, he would not have been divided into most of the time every time he seized."

"Yes, uncle, don't worry about these things. The Chuzhou army is different from others, and the Taiwei is not that kind of greedy person."

Mr. Shi sighed: "I believe in the character of the Taiwei, but I am afraid that Marshal Feng will set an example for donating silver, and the subordinates will follow suit..."

At that time, the historians can only follow the crowd and donate money to help the army.

But if it becomes a routine, the consequences for local gentry will be unimaginable.

Shi Jin and Shi also took a little seriousness from the surface.

...

In the Taiwei Mansion.

There are also differences due to this ten million taels of silver.

Monk Feng was so proud that he had to donate eight million taels when he spoke, leaving only a fraction of hundreds of thousands of taels.

Everyone was stunned.

The leader of the village was moved.

How much can I do with eight to twenty thousand silver?

When the silver is scattered, what is collected is grain and iron, so the logistics of the Chuzhou Army has more guarantees.

Xue Biao was about to be angry.

It was expected that the silver donation was exposed, after all, such a large amount of silver was exposed.

If you don’t have any difference, Monk Feng himself can’t feel at ease.

But what is 80% done?

Is 30% bad? Is 40% bad?

Even 50% is OK, but 80% is actually?

In contrast, he became a miser who didn't donate 10% of the money.

Du Laoba swallowed and spitted: "If you really have eight million taels, you can raise another hundred thousand soldiers."

The Chuzhou Army now has a total of 100,000 veterans, and 200,000 newly recruited recruits from the three prefectures of Taiping Prefecture, Jinling and Zhenjiang Prefecture.

There are no recruitment in Yangzhou yet.

If you really want to recruit 400,000 soldiers, you will have more confidence in Jiangnan.

Shui Jin has always been kind-hearted, looked at Monk Feng, and Huo Wu said: "Even if you want to donate silver, 50% is the same, don't you have to donate so much, right?"

The foal's eyes shone, thinking about the gold that had been in Marshal Feng yesterday.

More than nine million taels of silver were exchanged for gold in Yangzhou, and more than fifty thousand kilograms of gold.

It took half a day to transport from the wharf to Marshal Feng’s mansion.

Everyone can share a lot of money by donating military pay.

However, Master Lin was not happy but worried, and stroked his beard without saying anything.

Huo Bao sat down while the water entered the head, but couldn't help but feel nervous.

This money is hot.

Even though Monk Feng took the initiative to donate silver, if he really collected the silver and fell into the eyes of outsiders, the Taiwei Mansion would have swallowed up the Feng family's property.

I don't know how my dad will choose.

Huo Wu looked tangled and finally waved his hand and said, "This example cannot be opened!"

Master Lin's brows immediately stretched out.

Huo Bao's heart was also lost.

Monk Feng was quite surprised.

Even if he knew that Huo Wu was not greedy for money, this money was not a question of whether he was greedy for money or not, but also related to the combat power of the Chuzhou Army.

"Fifth Master, I sincerely donate! These things are useless in my hands, so they donate... Qichun is eyeing it, Taizhou is not good, and there are more than 100,000 officers and soldiers in Suzhou and Hangzhou. The Yuan brothers in Taizhou are not sure about our enemies, and the Chuzhou army still needs to strengthen their troops!" said Monk Feng.

Huo Wu said firmly: "I know your sincerity, but the effect is higher and lower. If the money is really going to be collected, I am afraid that many people will not be able to sleep well!"

Although this "donation of silver" is not as fatal as "dividing land", it is also a soft knife to cut the flesh and sharpen people.

Master Lin nodded and said, "What the fifth master is worried about is that nowadays, many people are watching the Chuzhou army act... The Feng family auction is very disturbing, and many people will watch the whereabouts of this money..."

The gentry and merchants in the seven palaces all knew about the Feng family.

If the Chuzhou army really wants to accept this "donation of silver", they will be in panic.

Monk Feng frowned and said nothing.

The leader of the village brought it a pity and said, "Will the silver be left in vain?"

After hearing this for a while, Huo Bao had an idea: "Dad, when it comes to money, Scouts are also a bit rich here..."

Everyone looked at Huo Bao.

Since the fight against Hezhou in August, the wars that all departments participated in were under everyone's noses.

The children's soldiers participated in the battle of Dingyuan County, which was a reinforcement war, not a siege war, and the seized were just military supplies and food for the officers and soldiers.

There is also a county town and a prefecture town in Luzhou, and all of them are united.

The rest is to assist Deng Jian in fighting Zhenjiang.

The seizure of the child soldiers is the same as the seizure of the Chuzhou Army.

If the child soldiers are rich, the wealth in each army will only be greater or less.

Shui Jin hurriedly urged: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Huo Bao is a little ghost, and Shui Jin admires his intelligence in his heart.

Huo Bao looked at everyone and said, "It's said that money is a waste of money. Can you borrow money? According to the similar interest on the market, the agreed method and time for repayment will not be expanded. This range will not be expanded. It is only for everyone here... When the first batch of loans are paid off, it will be expanded to the middle-level generals, which will be considered as the welfare of our Chuzhou Army!"

Um?

Everyone's eyes widened.

Du Laoba touched his ears: "Why does it sound wrong? It's a bit awkward."

The leader of the village smiled and said, "Xiaobao can think about it! The old man has always been rich, and the grandson who borrowed money. When we arrived at our Chuzhou Army, we were so tough!"

Most people want to lend money to Chuzhou Army, but they are not qualified yet.

Monk Feng raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's make up for it, lend it to our Chuzhou Army with 10 million!"

Shui Jin also understood, calculated in his heart, and said, "I'm making up a million taels."

He has always led his troops independently, but he has not lost even after several prefectures. It is not difficult to make up 20% of the seized 1 million.

The leader of the Ma village and Du Laoba also each had one million taels.

Ma Quezi was thinking more.

Such benefits will naturally make the better.

But this is the first time. No one can say what exactly is, so it is safe to ask for it.

"I can't compare to Brother Shui, so I'll have 600,000 taels!"

Huo Bao was reduced by one level than the foal, 500,000 taels.
Chapter completed!
