Zhu Jianji returned from inspecting the Zhenbei Army.
The Zhenbei Army mainly consisted of surrendered troops from the Zhunge'er Tribe and the Yekili Tribe, plus some surrendered troops from the Duerbot Tribe, and 5,000 men from the Turgut Tribe were incorporated into it, for a total of more than 10,000.
Zhu Jianji selected some Thousand Households, Hundred Households, Trial Hundred Households and General Banners from the Shazhou Guard, Chijin Mongolian Guard, and Hami Guard to serve as commanders, Thousand Households, and Hundred Households in the Zhenbei Army in order to fully control them.
.
Basically, Zhenbei Army is just another Duoyan Three Guards.
If you have breasts, you are a mother.
After being defeated by the East Palace Young Army, the soldiers of the Zhenbei Army found that following the Ming Dynasty they could eat and drink, and even save some military pay to live a good life when they returned to their hometown.
In addition, family members of the Zhenbei Army can be transported to the territory of the Torgut tribe.
There is a high probability that I will move to the Hetao area in the future.
He is also loyal.
Returning to the East Palace, Zhu Jianji processed the progress reports on various projects reported by Shi Xin of the East Palace Military Research Institute, and then was stumped by Shi Xin: He was asking for money again.
Zhu Jianji is so worried.
He really doesn't have much money left.
Fighting in Mobei looks beautiful, but it is actually a loss-making business and makes no money.
The money earned in the past has been invested in the Military Research Institute one after another.
How else could we build Dongfeng rifles for 10,000 infantry soldiers and two hundred mortars, especially in this era where the cost of building cross-generational products is extremely high.
The labor cost alone is an astronomical figure.
Since there was no money, Shi Xin could only be asked to go back first.
Looking for Chen Xun?
Probably not. The Ministry of Revenue has to support the young army's military operations against Taiwan, and the coastal navy has to be operational. Logistics and food will cost a lot of money.
The Royal Bank did not dare to touch its reserves. Some of the depositors' money had already been used for maritime trade, and they did not dare to withdraw any more.
Income from sea trade cannot quench our thirst.
Zhu Jianji was so worried that his beard grew out. He had no choice but to go find Lao Zhu.
When Zhu Qiyu heard that his son asked for money, he said carelessly: "It's a lot. I still have a little money in the internal transportation warehouse. It's no problem at all for the expenses of the East Palace and so on."
Zhu Jianji weakly stretched out his right hand and said, "Slap."
Dengzhou Shipyard needs one million taels.
For the establishment of a steam engine research and development project, one million taels must be prepared. At the Royal Electric Power Company, Lu Chunjing is also asking for money. According to Zhu Jianji's idea, after the establishment of the Royal Electric Power Company, it has already conducted a geographical survey around Gyeonggi to see which river it is on.
Build a dam.
To build a dam, concrete is indispensable.
The Ministry of Industry's industrial feasibility study has to invest a lot of manpower and financial resources in the research and development of cement.
The Ministry of Accounts has no money to allocate.
Zhu Jianji had to pay for this money himself, and he had to prepare another one million taels.
At the steelmaking plant, because they had to keep up with the steam engine project, they began to implement research and development of special metals. This is also a money-consuming thing.
You also need to prepare one million taels in the early stage.
That's four million taels.
The remaining one million taels will be used for gunpowder and the process improvement of the Dongfeng series.
When Zhu Qiyu saw his son extending a slap, his face turned green, "You think my internal transportation warehouse is a mountain of gold and silver. Where can I get five million taels for you? No!"
Zhu Jianji: "Then what are you bragging about?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes widened. He wanted to retaliate, but he endured it and said: "You bastard, listen to my father's advice. Although he doesn't know what you are going to do and what the far-reaching impact of these things will be, he is eager to eat them."
No hot tofu, you are still young and have plenty of time and future. For those money-consuming projects of yours, can you take your time and implement them one by one? If you implement them all at once, be careful not to bring down all your plans."
….
Zhu Jianji said helplessly: "This is a whole set of industries, and all of them are indispensable."
Zhu Qiyu said thoughtfully, "Then you can wait. Now that the sea is open, national taxes can increase by several million taels a year. Waiting for a few years will be enough to support your big moves."
After a pause, "And your young army needs to be expanded, which is another astronomical sum."
Zhu Jianji sighed.
Why was Ming Dynasty so poor?
But the nobles and feudal lords had money, so they had to find ways to harvest their wool.
Shu Liang suddenly came in and said: "Your Highness, Zhang Bu, the chamberlain of the East Palace, has brought an outsider here to ask for an audience. He seems to be from Fujian. I can't even understand what I'm saying."
People from Fujian?!
Zhu Jianji's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xie Wan and Fan Biao had sent someone here.
Good news.
He sat down on the soft floor and said, "Xuan!"
After a while, a man dressed as a merchant entered the palace. Jingua Guard Qianhu Li Min led two of his subordinates, one on the left and one on the right, under strict control. After all, people from out of town should not be careless.
The man must have known the etiquette in front of the palace. He knelt down and saluted Zhu Qiyu, and then saluted Zhu Jianji.
Be courteous.
Zhu Qiyu said nothing.
Zhu Qiyu never interfered in his son's affairs.
Hanzi said: "The common man Yang Kui is a subordinate of Fan Biao, a Qianhu who used to be a guard in Wan'an Qianhu Station in the east town. He is now serving as a whale-swallowing guard Qianhu in Huilongying, Taiwan. This time he came to the capital to pay homage to General Fan.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
[Recommended, @@ Zhuishu is really useful, everyone should try it soon.]
Zhu Jianji hummed, "Just get up."
Don't worry about safety.
There were Jingua guards guarding him, and Yang Kui was also searched. There was no way he had any weapons hidden on him.
With bare hands, Zhu Jianji, who has practiced martial arts for many years, is worthy of anyone.
Asked: "Fan Biao, what do you want to report?"
Yang Kuidao said: "General Fan learned that His Highness's East Palace infantry were rehearsing naval battles in the Dengzhou waters. He thought that His Highness might be going to Taiwan, so he asked the grassroots to report the details of Taiwan and ask His Highness how we should cooperate with Huilong Camp."
Yang Kui is now a Qianhu in Taiwan, an official of the puppet regime.
So I call myself a grassroots person.
Zhu Jianji said expressionlessly, "Say."
I'm just curious. In the past eight years, Fan Biao and Xie Wan rarely wrote secret reports to communicate, so Zhu Jianji now doesn't know how Taiwan is developing. He only learned from Fujian Dusi that Taiwan seems to have been given by Baozong.
Unified.
At least the pirates and Japanese pirates surrendered.
Yang Kuidao: "The one who served under General Fan and Mr. Xie deterred pirates and Japanese pirates, and developed based on Kaohsiung. Now he has more than 33,000 troops, and there are about 200,000 people in Kaohsiung and its surrounding areas."
Zhu Jianji couldn't help but smile and said, "You're quite capable."
Then he said: "You continue."
Yang Kui said: "There are seven guard posts in Huilong Camp. Four of them are firmly controlled by General Fan. There are also three guards, Hu Ben, Langqi, and Jin Yao. Their positions are unknown because the commanders of these three guards were personally trained by that guard."
Zhu Jianji thought for a moment and said, "It seems like there still has to be a big war?"
A little dissatisfied.
Fan Biao and Xie Wan, both civil and military, have allowed the Baozong to develop a trusted force?
Yang Kui started to speak but stopped.
Zhu Jianji saw this and did not ask for the time being, saying: "Is there any other information?"
Yang Kui took out several account books from his pocket.
Zhu Jianji only rolled his eyes and couldn't help but spit out, "Fuck!"
What a fat Baozong!
Baozong, don't make trouble.
When is the autumn wind sad and painted on the fan?
