"Hahaha, to attack the city of Yaksa with only a few hundred Rakshasa people, we need to send tens of thousands of troops, and they also ask me for five million in military expenses... Bahai, Tuhai, Chang Ning, Yin Tu and the others

You really dare the lion to open your mouth!"

Zhu Heji read the large number of memorials brought to Beijing by Mingzhu himself one by one, and then he was not angry at all. He even asked the people around him with a smile, "Tell me, should we give you this money?"

"Of course I can't give it, it's too much!" Zhuge Sanhe immediately raised objections, "Your Majesty, the imperial court's finances are not generous. They have been fighting non-stop in the past two years. Counting these Ming Eight Banners soldiers, even those with armor

The number of soldiers is almost 700,000! The military expenditure is huge. Although the gains are not small, those cities and land are not so easy to turn into silver coins... If the Ming Eight Banners are given several million more, the court can

We are really going to be in debt!"

Zhuge Sanhe is of course crying for poverty!

The Ming court was actually rich, because the Ming Dynasty issued silver coins, and also opened four major silver accounts: Dongchang Official Bank, Yanye Bank, Penglai Tianwang Bank, and Nanyang Bank. It also had control over these large banks and banks.

Dongyin Coin Factory, a small bank, has also established five major exchanges including Dengliao, Nanjing, Shanghai, Quanzhou, and Guangzhou... thus firmly holding the lifeblood of finance in its own hands.

So money, to Ming Dynasty, is sometimes just a number.

Moreover, because the Ming Dynasty implemented a strict land equalization system, most of the land was directly withdrawn from the circulation channels and became "not for sale", thus artificially causing the scarcity of land (mainly fertile land)!

The combination of scarce land and developed finance naturally gives private land that can be legally transferred a certain financial attribute.

In this Northern Expedition, the most valuable trophy obtained by the Ming army was land - the entire city of Beijing was emptied, and the surrounding areas of Beijing were filled with farms that originally belonged to the children of the New Eight Banners!

Although these farms are difficult to realize quickly, they can be used as collateral to help the Ming court quickly raise funds from the four major banks and the following small and medium-sized banks - because the amount of land reaches tens of millions of acres, and most of them

They are all sold out and can be settled easily, so the mortgage value is not a problem if it is worth hundreds of millions of silver dollars.

However, wealth should not be shown in public, and official status should not be conspicuous. Even if the Ming Dynasty had money, they could not show off their wealth in front of the Pearl!

So King Zhu Tianwang, who was experienced in the world of martial arts, also shouted, with a look of pain on his face: "This is treating us like fools! Our money didn't come from the strong wind!"

Like Kangxi, he, the Supreme Emperor, retreated but did not hide, and continued to exert his "remaining heat". However, his authority was incomparable with Kangxi's. He was only one of the eleven bachelors of the Academy of Sciences, and he also had

He turned the two free cities of Dengzhou Tianwang City and Jinzhou Tianwang City into chain stores.

However, the land area of ​​these two "chain-operated" free cities is much smaller than that of the original "Tianwang fiefdom". Only the inner part of the city is left, without the suburbs and villages.

Although the size of the land was reduced, the reputation was established. Therefore, during this period, ghosts, ghosts and snake gods from all over Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong, Huaibei, and Henan went to these two cities with their ill-gotten wealth.

Slip away. However, the "military control officers" sent out by the Ming Dynasty were "slow to respond" and were slowly preparing for the imperial examinations in the five provinces, preparing to pass this imperial examination to obtain a number of useful "Northern Scholars", and then organize the provinces and prefectures.

After the civil affairs offices of each county, land inspection, household clearing, and land equalization were carried out. Before that, the grassroots level in the northern provinces was still in the hands of a group of rural sages. If these rural sages were smart and made some money, they would go to two

As an apartment in Tianwang City, of course no one will stop you.

If Zhu Heji really had a stroke of his pen and granted Bahai, Tuhai, Changning, and Yintu millions of dollars in a smooth manner, it is estimated that more than half of them would have flowed directly into the two Celestial Kings!

So this money... can still be earned for them, but it cannot be earned so easily. You have to be a hawk for the Ming Dynasty!

Thinking of this, Zhu Heji smiled and said: "If there are really tens of thousands of Rakshasa musketeers, then a few million more will be given, but there are only a few hundred people... let Sauron soldiers and Baerhu soldiers pull them

Wouldn’t it be enough to just mount a few rocket launchers and go around for a while? You can do this job with fifty thousand."

Only fifty thousand?

Mingzhu has a grimace on her face, is this too little?

Zhu Heji looked at him, smiled and said, "You want to make money, right?"

"No, I don't want to..." Mingzhu is still a bit thin-skinned - he has not yet adapted to his new identity.

Although he has an official status in the Ming Dynasty, he is actually the manager of a "mercenary group"... The so-called Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty are actually the mercenary group raised by Zhu He!

The current military system of the Ming Dynasty is a conscription system based on the equalization of land. The advantage is that the source of soldiers is very wide, and a large number of soldiers can be recruited in wartime. The disadvantage is that most of these soldiers are not professional soldiers, so they cannot serve for a long time.

Therefore, after the Ming Dynasty unified the world, it was indispensable to send out mercenaries to the surrounding areas and even overseas.

The Eight Banners of the Ming Dynasty, the Mongols under the command of Jinlun Dharma King Burni, and the Japanese soldiers who were about to be conquered by the Ming Dynasty were all excellent mercenaries!

Zhu Heji looked at Mingzhu, who was still a bit thin-skinned, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with wanting to make money? It's not shabby to make money... but there is no way to make money like you! Go back and tell Bahai and Tuhai

, Chang Ning, Yin Tu and the others, I will let them earn these millions of silver dollars. But I can’t give that much to a Yaksa city!"

"There's more than one Yaksa," Mingzhu said, "There's also Yakutsk and Chita... there are even more Rakshasa ghosts there!"

Zhu Heji waved his hand and said, "There is no need to fight them for the time being. This time we will just fight Yaksa."

For the Ming Dynasty, it was not a top priority to move north to restore Nurgan Dusi or to simply fight all the way to the Arctic Ocean... Moreover, there was little oil and water, and the cost was also high.

So now Zhu Heji just wants to control the Heilongjiang Basin first.

He continued: "Then build a garrison city in the middle reaches of Yaksa and Heilongjiang, the lower reaches of the river, and near the mouth of the sea, and then build a small Heilongjiang navy. I will give you fifty thousand for each Yaksa, and four garrison cities.

I will give you a maintenance fee of 50,000 yuan a year for a navy.

In addition, set up another Heilongjiang admiral to take charge of the four garrison towns, the Heilongjiang navy, and the fortresses along the Heilongjiang River... This admiral should be given to Anzhu Lake."

Fifty thousand a year...this is a steady flow!

Mingzhu thought it was good and nodded repeatedly.

Before Zhu Heji finished speaking, he smiled and said: "I still have a really big deal for you!"

"What big deal?" Mingzhu is still a little unaccustomed... He is an official, why is he talking about business now but not talking about business?

"Send troops to Japan!" Zhu Heji said, "Japan has been a foreigner for a long time and has always been dissatisfied with the imperial dynasty. It thought that because it was far away from the ocean, it never conquered it. But now that I have captured North Korea, the small Korean Strait cannot stop me at all.

Navy. So I have decided... next year at the latest, I will launch a massive force of heavenly troops and cross the sea to conquer Japan! Are you willing to follow the Eight Banners and send troops?"

"willing!"
Chapter completed!
