Wu Zhenrui wanted to embrace the Qinghe Army's thigh, so he was willing to spend money to comfort the army, and he was also willing to do things for the Qinghe Army. The meaning has been expressed clearly.
Miao Cai, as the head of the household department, is still very happy to see Wu Zhenrui, a wealthy gentry like Wu Zhenrui, is willing to support their Qinghe army.
After all, if the Qinghe army wants to gain a foothold in Yunxi Mansion and grow stronger, it cannot simply rely on the most ordinary people.
?Because the most ordinary people can provide the Qinghe Army with a lot of food and soldiers, but the Qinghe Army still needs all kinds of talents.
However, the living conditions of the country gentry and rich lords are good. Most of their children have attended private schools and can read and write. This is a huge advantage.
Moreover, people like Wu Zhenrui are not only able to read and write, after reading poetry and books, their knowledge is far higher than that of ordinary people.
The Qinghe Army has now occupied Yunxi Mansion, and the government agencies at all levels are also short of manpower, and they urgently need a large number of scholars to supplement them.
However, the Qinghe army has just arrived, and they belong to the bandit army called by the court, and their name is not right. Naturally, not many scholars are willing to work for them.
Now that Wu Zhenrui wanted to embrace the Qinghe Army's thigh, Miaocai felt that it was not impossible for Wu Zhenrui to be an official and help the Qinghe Army.
It's just that Miao Cai also knows that Wu Zhenrui and others have a certain influence in the local area. They belong to the gentry and rich men, and they have always been at odds with the common people.
If it is true that they are allowed to immediately serve as officials of the Qinghe Army's government affairs government, the Qinghe Army's hard-won public support may be cast a shadow again.
Because for the common people, they don't understand so many twists and turns. They feel that the gentry and rich lords who oppressed them before have served as officials under the Qinghe Army, so the Qinghe Army must not be a good thing, and they must be the same as these gentry and rich lords.
It is precisely because of these concerns that the Qinghe army was more cautious in recruiting the sons of the gentry as officials when the people's hearts were still very fragile.
Of course, Chen Zi'ang didn't want these squires to serve as officials under the Qinghe army. After all, preventing them from entering the government office meant that he blocked some talents from the door.
However, it will take time to recruit the sons of the squires to become officials, and it will only be possible after the Qinghe Army has really established a foothold in Yunxi Mansion and established absolute authority.
When the Qinghe Army first gained the trust of the people, appointing the sons of the gentry with a bad image as officials would give the Qinghe Army a bad impression in the minds of the people.
"We Qinghe army has taken over your Wu family's kindness. Now we have enough money and food, and we don't need your money and food."
The head of the household department affirmed and thanked Wu Zhenrui and the others for their willingness to provide some money, food and rice in advance.
"You are familiar with poetry and books, and you are willing to do things for our Qinghe army. We also welcome it. After all, we are in urgent need of people who can read and write."
"It's just that our Qinghe Army also has its own rules, that is, we need to conduct a centralized assessment. Only those who pass the assessment can be admitted as officials under our government."
"Then I don't know what to assess and when will it be assessed?" Wu Zhenrui asked hastily.
Miao Cai smiled and said: "The content of the assessment is determined by the general. As for the time, it will not be held until the territory of Yunxi Mansion is relatively stable. It may be a few months later."
After all, the main task of the Qinghe army now is to gain a firm foothold in Yunxi Mansion, and then to govern the place.
Therefore, Chen Ziang was not in a hurry to conduct the official admission assessment, but was prepared to do these things after he took full control of Yunxi Mansion.
Although there is a shortage of manpower, the army can also transfer some people from the literacy class to supplement the emergency.
Wu Zhenrui originally wanted to hold the Qinghe Army's thigh by donating a large amount of money and food to the Qinghe Army, and at the same time seek a position in the government affairs government.
But now hearing what Miao Cai said, he also showed disappointment on his face. This trip was tantamount to a waste of time.
"I wonder if you are interested in doing business?"
Seeing the disappointed Wu Zhenrui, Miao Cai took a sip of tea and asked with a smile.
?Because of the long-term propaganda of the imperial court, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have always been low-level industries that cannot be promoted. For scholars like Wu Zhenrui, they naturally have little interest.
"I don't know what your lord means?"
Although Wu Zhenrui has no interest in such lowly business as business, when Miao Cai mentioned it, he didn't know what Miao Cai wanted to express.
"Our Qinghe army is going to implement free trade in Yunxi Prefecture, support theA batch of commercial firms, if you want, I can help you register. "
"According to the new policy of our Qinghe Army, the imperial government's fixed-rate commercial tax decree will be abolished, and our Qinghe Army's proportional commercial tax decree will be implemented. As long as you do well, you can earn tens of thousands of gold coins in a few months. You can do it well. Think about it." Miao Cai said with a smile.
"Can you earn tens of thousands of gold coins in a few months?"
Wu Zhenrui was not interested in doing business, but he was full of suspicion when he heard what Miao Cai said. He had never heard of doing business to make money like this.
"My lord, don't coax me. If you make so much money in business, everyone will go into business."
Miao Cai said with a smile: "Under the governance of the imperial court, it is true that you can't make money in business, because you will be exploited by officials at all levels, and the fixed business tax is very high."
"But under the rule of my Qinghe Army, let alone earning 10,000 gold coins in a few months, as long as you have the ability, it is possible to earn 100,000 gold coins."
Seeing the skeptical look on Wu Zhenrui's face, Miao Cai had no choice but to give him an example.
"Let me give you an example. Our Qinghe army has 100,000 troops. Do you know how much meat and vegetables we consume every day?"
"I don't know." Wu Zhenrui shook his head.
"We can consume a thousand fat pigs every day, and countless vegetables and fruits."
"If you want, you can build a pig farm. In the future, I, the Qinghe Army, will purchase pork from you. If you have a thousand fat pigs a day, you still can't make a lot of money?" Miao Cai said in a persuasive way.
After hearing Miao Cai's words, Wu Zhenrui was also taken aback. If this is the case, then the money will flow into his pocket continuously.
"Not only can you raise pigs, but you can also raise chickens and ducks. Not only can you sell them to our Qinghe army, but you can also open shops in the city and sell them to the people in the city."
"If you want, you can also make dried meat and sell it elsewhere."
Under Miao Cai's guidance, it seemed as if a new window had been opened for Wu Zhenrui, which made him excited.
If the pig farm is really set up, it will be a steady stream of income, which is much better than farming.
Wu Zhenrui soon realized that if he became the only pork supplier of the Qinghe Army, it would be tantamount to hugging the Qinghe Army's thigh.
Although Wu Zhenrui knew nothing about business, he also saw the great benefits in it.
"My lord, even if I go to build a pig farm, it takes time to raise pigs. I can't find so many pigs to supply to you now."
"And what if the pigs get bigger and you don't want them?"
Facing the question raised by Wu Zhenrui, Miao Cai also laughed, and immediately gave a solution.
"Now you don't have pigs, you can go to various villages and towns to buy them, and then send them to our Qinghe Army in a centralized way, and we can pay you."
"As long as you are willing to start a pig farm, our Qinghe army has a new support policy. Not only will it provide you with a place, but you can also pay you a year's worth of pigs in advance" (Remember this site's website: www. hlnovel.com
