    Xiong Tingbi was quite satisfied with the performance of these generals. This was better than crying for father and mother whenever something happened. In fact, he also felt that the reason why these generals were like this was because Han Siwen's actions just now had a negative impact on them.  Had a subtle impact!

    However, Xiong Tingbi is still very satisfied with this impact!

    So Xiong Tingbi went on to say: "Don't be anxious, everyone. The Holy One feels the pain of the Nine Towns. He has already decreed that the Jiubian Admiral's Office will host a mutual trade between the grasslands, and use this as the military salary of the Nine Towns!"

    As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the deputy general soldiers who had been tense just now shone immediately. They were in the border town and naturally knew how much benefit this trade with the grassland could bring 1

    Don¡¯t you see that those Shanxi merchants benefit so much from the smuggling trade with the grasslands every year?

    This group of soldiers who have been in the border town for a long time actually have their own accounts in their hearts. Shanxi merchants make at least three million taels of silver every year in smuggling activities against the grasslands and Donglu. And they, the border guards, although  You can get some benefits out of it, but it¡¯s just a drop in the bucket!

    Although the Jiuzhen garrison has the responsibility of guarding the territory and anti-smuggling, the people standing behind the Shanxi merchants are civil servants. If they dare to take anti-smuggling as a serious matter, then wait to be joined by others!

    But today the newly appointed Admiral of Jiubian said that the Admiral's Yamen can preside over the mutual trade between the grasslands, which means that this kind of government-run mutual trade will directly replace the smuggling activities of Shanxi merchants. At the same time, without the control of civilian officials, the defenders of the Nine Towns can also carry out anti-smuggling operations with great fanfare.  , there are many benefits here!

    Xiong Tingbi looked at the expressions of these people and knew what they were thinking, but he still said unhurriedly: "Once the mutual market is opened, there will naturally be a lot of money. However, the Holy Spirit has made it clear that the profits brought by the mutual market will be accounted for by the Ministry of Revenue."  Take away 30%, the palace will take 20%, and the rest can be used as military pay for the Nine Towns!"

    50%!

    Being cut off 50% of the silver at once is still very distressing, but it doesn't matter. The remaining 50% is still more than one million taels, which is enough for everyone to make a lot of money. Of course, these deputy commanders  The "everyone" in my heart does not include those big soldiers!

    Xiong Tingbi continued: "What I mean is that although the Admiral's Yamen can open mutual markets, it cannot open in all nine towns. That would cause chaos. Therefore, I believe that the five towns of Liaodong, Jizhou, Datong, Xuanfu, and Taiyuan  The distance is relatively close, and it is the main battlefield against Mongolia, so Taiyuan Town is merged to open a mutual market. In addition, Liaodong can also open a maritime mutual market against Japan and North Korea. The three towns of Yansui, Guyuan, and Ningxia are combined to open a Guyuan mutual market. Gansu Town is far away from other towns.  The eight towns are too far away, so we opened a separate Gansu mutual market. What do you have to say about this?"

    When everyone combined, this was the only way to do this. The five towns of Liaodong, Jizhou, Datong, Xuanfu, and Taiyuan were too close together. It would save trouble to open a mutual trade together, and Liaodong could also open the sea.  Market, this is equivalent to five towns opening two mutual markets without suffering a loss!

    In addition, the three towns of Yansui, Guyuan, and Ningxia are not far apart, so it would be appropriate to open a mutual market together. Gansu Town is a place far away from the sky, and at the same time it is not a major area where the Mongols control the border. It is appropriate to open a separate mutual market there.  , seems to be taking advantage, but everyone knows that in that kind of place, you can't actually make much money!

    Seeing that no one was talking, Xiong Tingbi said again: "Although the mutual market is open, it is not under the jurisdiction of the local military commander. It is all managed by the admiral's office. At the same time, the Ministry of Revenue and the East Factory will also send people to supervise. Therefore, as long as you take the mutual market as the core and unify  Just mobilize troops and horses to be responsible for anti-smuggling, suppressing bandits, and preventing the Mongols from seizing control!"

    As soon as these words came out, the anger that the deputy generals had just mentioned suddenly disappeared. So what if the mutual market is open?  If you can't get your hands on it, and you can't get any money into your pocket, it has nothing to do with you whether you open it or not!

    Xiong Tingbi saw the demeanor of these people and sighed in his heart. Soldiers who protect their homes and countries only have money in their hearts. How can such people be of great use?

    Looking at Han Siwen who always has a weird smile on his face, I feel that such a person is a real soldier!

    However, the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is like this, and the so-called Wen Tian and Wuxi are like this. Although Xiong Tingbi despises them in his heart, he still wants to use these people. At this time, he suddenly felt that the order secretly issued by the British Duke Zhang Weixian seemed to be someone else's.  There is a profound meaning, this actually made Xiong Tingbi admire the British gentleman!

    "Don't be discouraged. It's not difficult to get money and military glory!" Xiong Tingbi's voice sounded again, which directly whetted the appetites of those people. Xiong Tingbi said: "The British Minister told me that you can  The Mongols were exchanged for silver and military honors, but the British only wanted young and fertile women.?No need for anything else. As for how to get money and military merit, you might as well go back and discuss it!  "

    Capture Mongolians in exchange for money and military honors?

    This thing sounds strange, even Cao Wenzhao and Zu Dashou, who had just learned about it, had puzzled expressions on their faces!

    Suddenly, Deputy General Liu of Gansu Town, who had been crying just now, stood up again, clasped his fists and asked, "May I ask, Lord Admiral, do the British only want Mongolians?"

    Xiong Tingbi pondered for a moment and said: "That's not true. What the British Lord means is that anyone from a foreign race is fine!"

    Hearing this, Deputy General Liu's eyes suddenly lit up, and then asked: "May I ask, Lord Admiral, how much silver can one person exchange for, and how many military merits can be obtained?"

    Xiong Tingbi was stunned by the hungry wolf-like eyes of Deputy General Liu. When had he ever seen an officer of the Ming Dynasty look so hungry?

    I couldn¡¯t help but sigh in my heart: ¡°Sure enough, people die for money and birds die for food. With money and military achievements to follow, even sheep can become hungry wolves!¡±

    But this situation is a good thing for Xiong Tingbi. Now he is in charge of the Nine Towns. If the defenders of the Nine Towns continue to be the same as before, failing to deal with the enemy and specifically harming the people of the Ming Dynasty, he may not be able to serve as the Admiral of the Nine Sides for long!

    But now from Deputy General Liu, Xiong Tingbi saw the fire of desire, and this flame could completely burn the foreign forces around the Nine Towns. By then, the Nine Sides would be stable, and he, the Nine Sides Admiral  But the first achievement!

    Xiong Tingbi, who was finally relieved, also had a smile on his face: "A man is worth three taels of silver, a woman is worth two taels of silver, and one head is worth the military merit of each!"

    ¡°At this moment, the several deputy commanders who had been discouraged just now suddenly became lively and energetic. Their eyes flashed with the same fire as deputy commander Liu¡¯s. That was greed for money and military glory!

    Xiong Tingbi struck while the railway was hot: "The matter of money and military merit has been settled. Next, the governor will talk about the battle. The nine towns are our frontier fortresses of the Ming Dynasty. There are often prairie riders on the border. It can be said that there are wars all year round. What were the battles in the past?  You yourselves know who you are, and I won¡¯t say much here, but from now on, if there are foreign enemies who block the border, and those who are afraid of the enemy will not come out, they will be killed! Those who allow the enemy to plunder will be killed! Those who kill good people and take credit for their merits will be killed!  Did you all hear clearly what the governor said?"

    Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "I will obey the order of the Admiral!"

    Seeing that everyone's morale was available, Xiong Tingbi nodded with satisfaction, raised his hands to the sky and said: "The Holy Majesty and the Ministry of War also know your difficulties. The Holy Majesty has made it clear that as long as the generals dare to fight, they are not afraid of losing, and they can fight back later. But if anyone commits a crime  According to the three things I just said, my knife does not recognize people!"

    Everyone shouted in unison again: "Please rest assured, Admiral, we will definitely live up to our orders!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
