Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 512 Press the gourd to float the scoop

Zhou Yuji and Liu Tichun's concerns are true. The memorial played by Sun Chuanting not only did not sanction Zuo Liangyu, but also caused some trouble for himself. After all, Li Zicheng in Zhongzhou has become a serious problem, and the main force relying on the suppression is Zuo Liangyu , and this time, the Huai army withdrew under the pretext of making a fuss about payment.

The answer given by the Ministry of War in Lushan was not only that there was no such matter, but the emperor also ordered Song Qingshu’s salary to be fined and ordered them to return to the Zhongzhou battlefield. Song Qingshu hanged more than 2000 people in the woods. Blocking the news, this kind of deterrent power was also transmitted among the officers and soldiers. In this way, the begging army itself was a little embarrassed.

However, no matter how clamorous the Ministry of War is, the begging army military operation that lasted for more than a year since last year is still over, and this time, after receiving the imperial edict of fine salary, Song Qingshu directly threw him into the latrine in anger, and Let me tell you, if the Ministry of War doesn't prepare the military pay and rations next time, it will never be possible to mobilize the beggar army!

The soldiers return to Dabie, Anqing, and the generals are in their positions again. Those who should be in charge of logistics are in charge of logistics, and those who should be in charge of military law are in charge of military law. The only depressed person is Liu Tichun. When someone is promoted, he is demoted. I don't know when the next time I have a chance to get the official back.

Coming back from the bloody battlefield this time, it was the first time that Song Qingshu felt so tired. After all, Liaodong Zhongzhou ran two battlefields, and in the end, because of Zhu Yousong's greed, he lost Fufan, who was regarded as an important ally. , and the retreat of Dai County’s stronghold will have a great impact on Jiaduobao. After all, many old stores of Shanxi merchants and Shanxi merchants who are the main shareholder have been lost together. Income, but this is still a kind of excruciating pain for the entire firm.

As soon as he returned to Songjiang, he had a whole day of vacation, and before he could enjoy his own bungalow villa on the Bund, Song Qingshu was pushed into the shareholders' meeting by the shareholders, and the meeting was held continuously.

"This is the chronology of the income of the six northern provinces this year. Beizhili has repeatedly encountered slavery and plunder, but with the support of the capital and the Daming Mansion, Beizhili is still in a profitable situation, with an annual profit of about 220 million taels. Those in Shandong There was no major military disaster in 290, and the profit has been relatively stable. Excluding the cost, including the ticket number, the income was 100 million taels. However, Liu Zeqing, the general soldier of Shandong, was too greedy. The robbery of the ticket office on Heguan Road should have something to do with him, but last year Denglai's general soldier was replaced by ours, and there were soldiers and horses from the Ninth Division of Qihuo, basically not afraid of Liu Zeqing's threats, Moreover, the commander-in-chief also won Jinzhou, and by taking the sea route, we can reopen the North Korean trade line, and this year's income is estimated to be [-] million more."

"However, Henan suffered a loss for the third consecutive year last year. After losing the grain market, the loss reached as much as 70 taels. Moreover, due to the severe drought, more silver taels were subsidized into Zhongzhou on the ground, which was affected by the local turmoil. , The transportation cost is too high, Shaanxi lost 50 taels, and Gansu also lost 20 taels, the cost of purchasing and shipping here is too high."

"Only in Shanxi, relying on the industrial base in Dai County, it can make a profit of about 100 million taels a year. According to the evaluation of the secretary meeting under the board of directors, next year the bandits will become even more powerful. This may become the main battlefield between the government and the bandits. For the stores in Zhongzhou, it is estimated that the loss will reach 150 million taels to 180 million taels! The blocked profits in Shanxi will also disappear.”

"Taiwan's income this year is as high as 420 million taels. If these human, material and financial resources are invested in Nanyang, the income in this place alone will be tens of millions of taels, which will not be a problem."

The sweet voice echoed in the conference room, looking at the bar chart on the outline of the province, each shareholder couldn't help but nodded secretly.

In fact, many people criticize Song Qingshu for using a female secretary. On the one hand, women come out to show their faces and do things, and they control many men, which makes people criticize. The women of the handmaiden have now entered the Jiaduobao firm, and have won their own freedom one by one, and many of them even have small savings, and have become women that they cannot afford, which makes many scholars feel sour.

But the advantages of female secretary are also obvious. In terms of personality, women are more careful than men, and they are actually more loyal than men. It can be seen from the fact that men cheat much more than women in later generations. Up to now, male buddies and even shopkeepers have been more loyal than men. Some were instigated by the Fushe and the Yangzhou Business Group, but the female secretary was not. For them, they were married to the Chamber of Commerce, and their future prospects and families would be surrounded by the Chamber of Commerce. Minimal.

Dong Xiaowan, Song Qingshu's business secretary and one of the minority shareholders, sorted out various data continuously for more than two hours, which can be regarded as persuading most of the shareholders to agree with Song Qingshu's decision to temporarily abandon the four northern provinces. He stood up hesitantly and asked.

"Marshal, you and King Fu...can't you win King Fu's support?"

Only the thirteen gentlemen from the West India Company knew the identity of Little Pepper, so they almost missed the words. Zhang Mingxing expressed that prayer to the fullest. This time it was Dong Xiaowan who spoke for Song Qingshu, and another form was hung on the blackboard. This Qinhuai talented woman answered with a serious face just like the elite women in the workplace of later generations.

"Apart from the influence of Fu Wang's character, the Secretariat estimates that this year there will be a huge threat of war in Kaifeng, Luoyang and other places in Zhongzhou, and this time back, Zuo Liangyu from Chu Town attacked our army twice in a row, the Qihuo Army and Chu Town, There is a huge gap in the relationship between Qin and Zhen, if we want to defend the two cities, we need to invest at least fifteen divisions, and at the very risk of taking huge risks, we can't maintain the deterrence of the troops in the Jiangnan area!"

Don't talk about the customs, it's all about the data. The first priority of a firm's existence is to make a profit. Besides, in the past two years, the sons of Shanxi merchants in the six northern provinces have died if not one thousand, but five or six hundred. Finally, at the shareholders' meeting After the third day, all the shareholders were silent. After a long time, Cao Sanxi sighed resentfully.

"Our ticket number is no longer Huitongtianxia! Those parasites in Yangzhou should brag about their Thai Ritian ticket number again."

"The retreat is temporary, and bragging will also cost blood and money. In the past two years, Tairitian will suffer huge losses, and then will be our chance!"

After debating for two days in a row, Song Qingshu's voice was a little hoarse, but he finally got rid of these stubborn donkeys. He still smiled easily and said, these words finally aroused a little interest from the shareholders. Showed some smiles.

…………

Originally planned to celebrate the end of the shareholders meeting at the opening party at the Fengyue Grand Theater, but the meeting lasted for three consecutive days, from Song Qingshu to all the small shareholders, walking out of the venue felt like their footsteps were drifting, and no one was in the mood to go again, so the meeting ended. .

She is still caring from her own woman, even though she was tired of sorting out the account books, Dong Xiaowan gently squeezed Song Qingshu's shoulders in the car, seeing his eyes turn red, she couldn't help complaining.

"The same goes for the officials. Our firm has already made so much money, so what are you doing asking those idlers to tell us what to do? A poor man worth only a few hundred thousand taels dares to tell the officials what to do."

Converting a few 10 taels into the value of future generations, it is almost hundreds of millions. In Dong Xiaowan's eyes, a household with a billion yuan is almost like a poor man. It can be seen how magnificent Song Qingshu's business empire is, but listening to her complaints, Song Qingshu rarely showed his personality. Smiling, shook his head.

"Xiaobai, this is actually very good. I just think that the company is not owned by anyone, so all the personnel involved in the operation will care about the company wholeheartedly, so that we can prosper forever. Look at the current imperial court, officials from top to bottom They all think that the world belongs to the emperor, and I don’t care about anything. Most of them are trying their best to seek their own self-interest. The world is so turbulent today. How could the current situation be difficult?"

"I don't understand these political matters. Anyway, I know. That fat man surnamed Li dares to point fingers at the officials. When shipping the goods, I must cheat him!"

Dong Xiaowan's vengeful heart is quite serious, looking at her puffy cheeks, Song Qingshu couldn't help laughing, and opened the window casually, the beautiful scenery of the Bund outside the window couldn't help coming into view, enjoying Dong Xiaowan's shoulder pinching, secretly Song Qingshu's heart suddenly became more determined.

Just for the beauty in front of me, even if I risk my life, I will protect this mountain and river!
The original plan was to take a five-day vacation, but once the board meeting was held, it was gone in three days. As soon as he returned to the villa, Song Qingshu yawned and went into the study. , especially the two little ones, almost don't know him anymore.

It's a pity that things backfired. Song Qingshu's wish to go to bed early was defeated by the first big hit book. Zhang Huangyan sent it. After more than a year, the revenge of the Dutch East India Company finally came!
There are a total of [-] Dutch battleships. After being parked in the chicken coop for half a year, they have already started to head south, and this time the interior seems to be a bit uneasy, and although the Spaniards did not send troops to participate, once they are at war with the Netherlands, Spain’s reaction It is also an unknown. To deal with Taiwan, two divisions are enough even without the support of naval divisions. However, Song Qingshu needs to grasp the follow-up of the colonists in Southeast Asia, and Zhang Huangyan does not have that much power.

Originally thought that the army could be rested for a period of time!Looking at Zhang Huangyan's scribbled words, Song Qingshu's head hurt again.It's really called fighting against the sky, exhausting one's life, fighting against the earth, exhausting one's life, fighting with others, and even more fucking exhausting one's life.

Before Song Qingshu came up with a charter at this end, the door of the study room was gently pushed open at the other end, but it was Secretary General Li Xiangjun who pushed the door in. Dong Xiaowan has taken care of business matters these days, and she is resting For three days, but looking at her worried face, it seemed that she hadn't rested at all.

"What's wrong with Xiang'er? Who bullied you?" Song Qingshu couldn't help asking in surprise.

Half disgusted, half worried, Li Xiangjun shook his head grimly.

"Officer, Hou Fangyu, he asked me out again!"
