The prosperity of Taiyuan brought direct benefits to Lu Hanqiang, that is, when the team of 500 people passed through the city gate, they only paid a gate donation of ten yuan per person, and they came in with a swagger, without being checked and troubled at all.
When Lu Hanqiang entered the city gate, he couldn't stop looking back, he really didn't understand, such a city defense, such a troubled era, whether Taiyuan could still fall, he doubted that Yao Tongxin's old brother's head was still on his neck.
As for whether Yao Tongxin's head was on his neck, this answer was quickly obtained, because as soon as Yao Tongxin heard that Menzi reported that Lu Hanqiang was coming, he ran out directly to greet him, and he smiled very brightly, and gave Lu Hanqiang a bear hug as soon as they met.
After entering the flower hall and sending away the servants, Yao Tongxin couldn't wait to ask: "How is it, what do you get from going to the grassland?"
Lu Hanqiang took the tea cup and walked around the flower hall, while carefully watching the treasures on the antique shelf of the old brother, and said casually: "I opened another salt farm, got a steady stream of income, and then went to the east, blocking Lin Danhan's westward footsteps, and there is also a little blockage to the fish that slipped through the net Huang Taiji, and the rest is gone." ” "Lin Dan Khan westward" Yao Tongxin heard the news, at that time hairy, the grassland finally reached the hands of the Ming Dynasty, if the real descendants of Genghis Khan westward to the grassland, it is a big bad news, this must be prevented early.
"Nothing."
Lu Hanqiang still walked around lightly, "It's just a guy who was beaten by Huang Taiji and became a lost dog, and it happened that I caught up with this matter, so I gave Lin Danhan a few suggestions, and then, I also helped him beat Huang Taiji fat, and said yes, does this Huang Taiji really have the emperor's order, last time I was in Gyeonggi, we arranged such a strict arrangement, but it still let him run, this time I arranged Zhou Xiang again, and the result was still let him run, it seems that this is the reason for the pig teammates." ” As soon as he mentioned the last battle in Youanmen in Gyeonggi, Yao Tongxin's emotions began to get excited: "Heaven and earth, but it turned out to be a group of pig-like colleagues, who really hate me to death." ” The little fat man put his feet on the coffee table, tilted his head and swallowed a bunch of grapes in one gulp, and then grinned sourly: "What is a pig teammate, I just want to kill people with a knife, to be honest, this Ming can really do something, there are only a few people here, if it weren't for our hard support, maybe, this Ming would have died a long time ago." ” For such a slander of the country, it is a capital crime outside, but here, everyone speaks calmly and listens calmly.
"Huang Taiji will not die for a day, he will be the enemy of the Ming Dynasty for a day, how do you deal with this matter" Yao Tongxin definitely thought that it was impossible for Lu Hanqiang to stand by and watch, he would definitely come up with a strategy.
"I can't kill Huang Taiji, and I don't have this opportunity, but I used a method of borrowing a knife to kill people, at least I can pull Huang Taiji's hind legs, so that he can't recover with peace of mind," so Lu Hanqiang told him about his arrangement, and the old man who listened to it at that time was fascinated, and finally couldn't help but applaud, "Just for this, you and my brother should be a big deal." ” The little fat man immediately slapped the table: "Then what are you waiting for, a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat." ” Of course, there should be a wine banquet, but it is not a big bowl of wine and a big piece of meat as the little fat man said, but it is extremely exquisite.
The current Yao Tongxin is a big man in a place, of course, he has to pay attention to everything, this is a habit developed by a family, and secondly, it is also a habit developed because of the displacement of time and being in a high position.
"The day before yesterday, I heard from the lonely minister's Wang Shilang that the emperor has the intention of reactivating you, what do you think of this" Yao Tongxin picked up his wine glass and took a photo with Lu Hanqiang, revealing the news while drinking.
Lu Hanqiang shook his head indispensably: "The emperor re-appointed me, not to ask me to put out the fire, I can probably guess his purpose for using me this time." ” "What is it?"
asked Yao Tongxin curiously.
Lu Hanqiang leaned back for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's still one word, money." ” Yao Tongxin thought about it for a while, then nodded in agreement: In this world, you Lu Hanqiang is the only one who can draw money, and there is nothing to say about this.
Lu Hanqiang smiled bitterly and said: "Actually, if this Ming Dynasty dies, that is, it dies in this finance, Donglin will spend money but will not, and will not collect money, to say that on this, they and Wei Zhongxian are 108,000 miles apart, no matter what, Wei Zhongxian collected money but did not force the people to rise up a large-scale rebellion, he was mainly aimed at the rich gentry and merchants at that time, therefore, he could spend money on the Beijing camp, pay the border army, and make the Ming army still have some combat effectiveness, but Donglin, it is the opposite, They want to protect the interests of the family and clan behind them, and as a result, the Donglin New Deal completely wiped out the taxes that the Ming Dynasty should have, and all the money and food needed above can only be paid to the people, and you can see what the people in the world can have now."
"Yes, what else can the people in this world have" Yao Tongxin drank a glass of wine bitterly: "Just me, Shanxi, fifty percent of the land is in the hands of the gentry and eunuchs and landlords, the remaining fifty percent, and thirty percent are in the hands of various princes and county kings, and these lands are not taxed, and the only remaining two percent are in the hands of the people, but they have to bear all the full tax burden and forced labor, how can this not force the people to rebel" "And now, the Huang Taiji that could have been solved in a war, but was released by a group of bastards who wanted to kill me, Liaodong returned to its original state again, and the Ji Liao army once again became a financial burden of the Ming Dynasty, and the silver money and grain that I had worked hard for the emperor to rush to the Jin Shang Eight families had been squandered by those bastards without a trace, according to the letter from the king to me, now Donglin began to instigate the emperor to prepare to levy Liao salary again, it is said that it will reach six million to plug this hole, six million, What a big number."
"Capricious."
Yao Tongxin muttered, and he didn't know if he was talking about Donglin or Chongzhen.
At the beginning, he got the five million silver and three million grain that Lu Hanqiang and himself transported to the capital, Chongzhen promised not to levy Liao salary under Lu Hanqiang's strong suggestion, but the result was only more than half a year, so much money and grain were squandered by Donglin, just fattening those officials, but not building a dynasty, it is really heartbreaking.
And as a monarch, he once again proposed that he had promised to reduce or reduce the salary and increase the salary, which was not capricious or something t1706231537:
