Ying Yi then said to Lian Biao: "Once all kinds of affairs in the valley become busy, the people you lead should also move. Road construction supervisors, expel wild animals, protect the people, etc. are all your responsibilities. There is a long way to go."

Lian Biao took a breath and clasped his fists: "Don't worry, sir, Lian Biao will never get out of trouble."

Ying Yi nodded and said to the scholar: "No matter what you do, you must first set rules. Whether you are opening the road or making guns, I do not intend to ask the people in the form of labor. The army has military pay, and the people do things for me, and they must also be paid. Those who open the road must pay wages, and those who make poles must also pay wages. As for how much wages should be, scholars, please make sure. Remember not to be harsh."

When the scholar heard this, he couldn't help but feel surprised: "I know that the lord is kind, but only 2 million taels of silver. If I consume it so freely, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand much trouble."

Ying Yi waved his hand: "Of course I know. I have secretly calculated that in the Bibo Valley, for social engagements, a month will be about 200 taels. Military pay is about 400 taels per month. If there are casualties in war, more than 400 taels will be needed. My budget is 2500 taels for a gun with a gun rod of 10,000 long spears. That is, I will make a gun rod and give four cents of silver. One person who pioneered the way was twenty cents a day, and three batches of people calculated three thousand people, which consumed sixty taels a day, and one thousand eight hundred taels a month. Total here, the silver spent in the first month was less than 10,000 taels."

Xiucai Sun nodded slightly while listening.

Ying Yi said: "If there is a method to make military uniforms, it will be included among the people. One piece in spring and autumn, one piece in summer, one piece in winter, two sets of three pieces each. Each soldier has six sets of military uniforms. More than 3,000 people and nearly 20,000 sets of military uniforms are priced according to the quality of the military uniforms. If the quality is average, it will only cost dozens or hundreds of people. Once a year is changed, the expenditure of military uniforms will be only a few thousand taels per year. However, armor is a big head, but I don't think about it for the time being."

"No matter how you calculate it, two million taels of silver will be fine for at least a few years." Ying Yi concluded: "I also have to contact merchants to buy supplies, and when we develop ourselves, we can still sell goods. By that time, a healthy and good operation mechanism will be formed, and there is no need to sit still and lose everything."

"And although the silver seems to have been consumed, it actually falls into the hands of the people. Once the people have money, the economic cycle can be restored. Food, salt and other daily necessities are no longer available for free. Stores can be established and sold to the people, and the cash can be recycled."

"In general, this is a long-term plan. It can only be presented in writing for the time being, and there may be many omissions." Ying Yi said, sighing slightly: "After all, it's not enough for people."

Finally, Ying Yi thought about it for a moment and said to the scholar: "Zhengxianzun is experienced and talented. If you don't understand what I'm talking about today, or if you encounter difficulties in dealing with things, you can ask him."

Sun Xiucai couldn't help but lit up: "What the sir is saying."

At this moment, a whisper came from outside the cave: "Brother Ying, Brother Ying!"

That duck-like voice, who is not Wang Zhongguan?

Ying Yi smiled and said to Sun Xiucai: "You go and do your business."

I saw Wang Zhongguan rushing in from outside the cave. Seeing him happy, he must have encountered something good.

Sun Xiucai and Lian Biao bowed to Wang Zhongguan and left the cave.

Wang Zhongguan laughed and took out a furry little thing from his arms, and said happily: "Brother Ying, look!"

Ying Yi was stunned and couldn't help but take a closer look: "Oh, the middle official is so powerful!"

He gave a thumbs up: "The King of Shan has been arrested by the Zhongguan!"

It turned out to be a tiger boy.

Wang Zhongguan smiled happily: "No! Our family is lucky today. When we entered the mountain with Hu Miao, we actually saw a mountain king. We finally beat him to death and still brought him a baby. Thinking that this baby is quite cute, our family brought it back."

Ying Yi was surprised: "You really beat the mountain king to death?"

He said that he was also a regular visitor in the mountains earlier, but he had never met Shanjun. Unexpectedly, when Wang Zhongguan entered the mountain, he not only killed Shanjun, but also took all the cubs.

"Come on, I'll give you a gift." Wang Zhongguan threw the tiger cub and said with a smile: "One of our family has no eggs, so we can't raise it."

Ying Yi was stunned: "What is the Zhongguan saying? After working hard, I dare not take the Zhongguan like."

I have to return it to the official.

Wang Zhongguan waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, no, no, our family always wants to go back to the capital. It's not the case to bring a tiger boy."

Ying Yi was right when he thought about it, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Zhongguan wants to return to the capital, and I am also busy here, and I don't have time to take care of this little thing."

"Then kill it." Zhongguan said: "At least there are a few pounds, so I'll stew it and I'll make a meal."

Ying Yi laughed: "The Zhongguan didn't kill it before, that's its blessing. Since there is a blessing, then keep it first, and you can't ignore the Zhongguan's kindness."

The king laughed loudly.

Then he changed his voice and asked, "I don't know what the situation is right outside the mountain. What we wait for every day is anxious. I'm afraid Master Long Sui doesn't know how anxious he should be."

He sighed repeatedly.

Ying Yi said: "Don't be anxious about the middle-level official. I will take people out tomorrow. As soon as there is news, I will inform the middle-level official immediately."

"That's the best." Wang Zhongguan breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't look at our family hunting and playing all day, but I feel really uncomfortable."

Ying Yi smiled secretly, nodding with deep consent on his face.

Then he heard Wang Zhongguan say, "The Zheng County Master disappeared all day long and hid in a cave. Our house is not a good thing. Fortunately, you were busy with him, otherwise he would have been killed by the thief."

Ying Yi was stunned and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. Is this testing him?

Zheng Yunzhi has been under house arrest by him, and it seems that Wang Zhongguan has seen some clues.

Ying Yi said: "The county master is very busy now. More than 20,000 people in this valley eat, drink, defecate and urinate endless things. Although the county master is not seen all day long, he is considering the overall situation."

Wang Zhongguan sneered: "The overall situation? Long live the emperor is considering the overall situation. What a mere county magistrate is nothing more than a bullshit."

"Forget it." He waved his hand: "We're waiting for good news for you."

That night, Ying Yi didn't sleep for half a night.

I thought about all kinds of things in my mind, and made up the mess again and again. When I thought of the thief outside the mountain, a tiger, a valley, and a self, I felt a lot of things.

The next day, just as the sky was dawn, Ying Yi got up.

From afar, I saw several people walking on the cliff opposite me, and it turned out to be Zheng Wu, Zheng Liu, and Zheng Jiu.

To be honest, Ying Yi is still a little embarrassed when facing them. After all, he is not kind-hearted. However, Ying Yi has no guilt in his heart. He just did what he thought he should do. When Zheng Yunzhi asked him to learn martial arts, he now has no trouble seeing Zheng Yunzhi.
