Chapter 497 Tens of thousands of taels of silver pocket money Hearing that Quan Xu was not afraid of the imperial court at all, Zhu Zhaoyi didn't say anything.As the staff officer of the whole family army, Zhu Zhaoyi knows very well that Quan Xu's investment in the whole family army, taking Chongzhen's five years as an example, spent nearly eight million taels of silver.If the imperial court gave a lot of Liao's salary to the whole army, in fact, it was still not enough, if it only relied on tuntian farming, not to mention the entire Liaodong, Liaoxi was also counted, and it was impossible for Shandong to feed so many elite soldiers.However, the main military expenditure of the whole family army came from commercial taxes.Quanxu's initial cost of raising soldiers was still the profit of his business, but with the vigorous development of Liaodong, Quanxu put the cost of raising soldiers on commercial taxes.Although the commercial tax of the Ming Dynasty was very low, the positive tax was thirty taxes and one one, of course, in the period of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the commercial tax increased from the original two taels of silver to two coins, and the positive tax was changed from thirty taxes to one ten.It's a pity that the execution is not enough, the commercial tax can not be collected at all, and the best year of commercial tax in the Chongzhen Dynasty is the ninth year of Chongzhen, a total of 616552 taels.However, this does not mean that the commercial tax is really low, the Ming Dynasty has a background relationship, no need to pay taxes, no background and no way to small traders, is the main force to pay taxes, but the mosquito is too small, even if it is squeezed dry, there is not a few taels of oil.However, Quan Xu is different, because Liaodong is close to the sea, and the entry and exit are basically by ship, so it is easy and convenient to collect taxes, and in addition, there are no officials in Liaodong who can work together on taxes, and although the result is as high as 20% of the commercial tax, the tax rate is actually lower than that of the imperial court.In just one Liaodong, Quanxu can collect more than 21 million taels of silver in commercial taxes, while the entire Ming Dynasty only collects more than 600,000 taels of silver, in fact, only in Liaodong, the fiscal revenue is lower than that of the entire Ming Dynasty, two capitals and thirteen provinces.Even if in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Quan Xu handed over two million stone of grain to the imperial court, the pressure is actually not great, of course, next year's Liaodong immigration work will be completely stopped, and the financial expenditure will be greatly reduced.Zhu Zhaoyi knew very well that even if the whole family army was thrown to the imperial court, the imperial court would not be able to support it.Daming is actually very rich, and there is no shortage of silver, but the key is that the imperial court has no money, cannot collect taxes, and the credit is bankrupt.In fact, businessmen do not need to carry silver to do business, holding the deposit note of the bank, you can directly use it as a silver, at this time, the deposit note of the whole account, in fact, on a considerable part of the function of paper money.Different from Zhu Zhaoyi's thoughts, Fu Zonglong thought far-reaching: "Master Hou, what do you say if the imperial court does not agree to send troops to Japan?"
”Regarding sending troops to fight Japan, Fu Zonglong, like Zhu Zhaoyi, did not have any psychological burden.In the past 100 years, the Japanese have mainly wreaked havoc in the south of the Yangtze River, causing enough harm to Zhejiang and Jiangsu, only you are allowed to harm me, and I am not allowed to beat you?
What is the truth?
However, they are really not optimistic about this operation, after all, the traditional power is huge, Zhu Yuanzhang personally announced that Japan will be listed as a country not to be conquered, even if everyone fought a fierce battle in Korea, the Ming Dynasty only drove Japan out of Korea, and did not fight back further.If Chongzhen wants to conquer Japan, he will definitely attract criticism from the Manchu Dynasty, can he withstand this pressure?
Quan Xu smiled faintly: "The imperial court will agree!"
”Because at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was like a good man trapped in the desert, he needed water very much to quench his thirst, and when Quan Xu told him where there was silver, he would not hesitate to throw away his conscience and snatch the water from other people's hands.Regarding Quan Xu's inexplicable self-confidence, Fu Zonglong didn't know what to say about Quan Xu.Quan Xu issued an order to Mao Yuanyi and Yang Yandong of the Second Fleet of the Liaodong Naval Division, ordering them to immediately proceed to absorb the Zheng pirates, and to arm the Taiwanese reclamation personnel of the Zheng pirates to form the Taiwan Task Force.In terms of fighting in front of the two armies, ten Zheng pirates are not as good as a whole family soldier, but if you talk about killing those unarmed people, ten soldiers of the whole family are not as good as one pirate.It is true that the army is a killing machine, but Quan Xu prevents the whole family army from becoming an executioner, as long as he is used to killing, this habit is not easy to change.These brave and fierce guys are the best troops to send troops to Japan.In fact, the food and clothing of the labor camp in the labor camp are ten times better than that of the previous family farming, but everyone yearns for freedom, has the opportunity to halve the sentence, or start a new life, who is not happy?
As soon as the news came out, Taiwan's labor camps were suddenly boiling, and those who were thrown into the labor camps were all famous and brave and ruthless guys among the Zheng pirates, and fighting and killing were the most suitable for their appetite.There was no way, Yang Yandong had no choice but to select the best of the best, select 15,000 young and strong, have actual combat experience, and be brave to fight silver from among them, and then issued them horizontal swords and crossbow armor for assault training.In the process of their training, Quan Xu summoned the generals of the four guards and eighteen thousand households in the Beijing camp."
The bitter cold of Liaodong, you have already experienced it!"
Quan Xu looked at everyone: "It's just the beginning of October, and it's December, that's the colder time, if it's at night, when you go out to pee, you all have to hold a stick, otherwise, you'll freeze!"
”The generals of the Beijing camp looked at each other, a little at a loss.Liu Jinxian said with a sad face: "If this is the case, the brothers are only afraid that it will be......
I can't hold on!
”"I know that you are afraid of hardship, don't say that I won't give you a chance!"
Quan Xu looked at the generals, as if like a big bad wolf bewitching the little white rabbit: "Three thousand miles south of Jinzhou (the actual straight-line distance is 1,538 kilometers), there is a big island called Taiwan, where the four seasons are like spring, the rain is abundant, and the environment is no less than the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River. ”There are a total of 38,000 households in the four guards and eighteen independent thousand households, which means that more than half of the people have no chance to go to the land of fish and rice.Liu Jinxian asked a little anxiously: "I don't know what the conditions are for going to Taiwan?"
”"Make your own choice and come up with your opinion as soon as possible!"
In good conscience, Taiwan today is not the Taiwan of later generations, because there are many wetlands, mosquitoes breed, malaria is very serious, of course, the advantage is that after more than a year of treatment, Taiwan's malaria has been reduced a lot.After half an hour of quarrelling, the Beijing camp finally came up with a result, and they obtained the privilege of going south to Taiwan to reclaim land by drawing lots.However, these 18,000 households brought a full 130,000 people south.At the same time that these eighteen thousand households went south, Lushun Port ushered in another fleet, which was negligible compared to the southbound fleet.Naturally, the leader was Cao Huachun and Cao's father-in-law, and in front of Quan Xu and Zhu Weiyuan, he began to read out the holy decree.The words of the holy decree are quite beautiful, five and six, quoting scriptures, and it is very enjoyable to watch, but the content is not beautiful at all.There is only one core content.Aren't you going to rob Japan?
I agreed, let it go, grab it!
Zhu Weiyuan looked at Cao Huachun and said, "How is it possible?"
Taizu personally named Japan as a country not to be conquered, is the imperial brother confused, and actually disobeyed Taizu's edict!?
”Cao Huachun smiled and said: "Princess Anqing, this time, that time, when Taizu made Japan a country not to be conquered, Japan did not send troops to invade the Ming Dynasty's barriers, let alone go to the south of the Yangtze River to kill people and set fire!"
Since Japan is so ignorant, of course we have to return the color!
”"Well said!
Little Japan is shameless, we list them as a country that does not conquer, and want to coexist peacefully with them, they are good, first they ran to Jiangnan to harm Jiangnan enough, and after being beaten away, they intensified, dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops to beat our little brother, who can swallow this breath?
In the past, it was a series of military disasters, and the strength of the Ming Dynasty was greatly damaged, and we couldn't do anything about them. ”Zhu Weiyuan lowered her voice and said: "Qianyuan has crusaded against Japan twice, but the result is that the whole army was wiped out, no, I want to enter the capital to face the saint, let the imperial brother take back his fate, and the Ming Dynasty cannot repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty!"
”Zhu Weiyuan has just gotten married, and she doesn't want to be a widow."
Don't be so nervous!"
Quan Xu patted Zhu Weiyuan's arm and said: "Mongolia itself is not good at naval warfare, they Mongols can't defeat Japan, but it doesn't mean that I can't beat either, Lao Tzu has never lost since he led his troops, and this time is no exception!"
”The rise of a nation and a country must be carried out on the bones of another nation or nations.The rise of Japan is to step on the bones of the Chinese nation, and it is a pity that the 35 million unjust souls do not seem to have left a warning, and the Japanese are ......
Jeon Wook's ass is not crooked, and he knows who his surname is.After Cao Huachun finished saying the words on the scene, he lowered his voice and said: "The emperor said, he wants one million taels of silver!"
”"It's a trifle!""
You're waiting for my good news!""
Our family is here, I wish the champion Hou Qi victory!"
Quan Xu lowered his voice and said, "Go back and get you tens of thousands of taels of silver back as pocket money." ”Cao Huachun was taken aback: "Don't don't, tens of thousands of taels are too much, our family doesn't dare to accept them, 10,000 taels is enough!"
”"Is 10,000 taels of silver enough?""
Ten thousand taels of silver is enough......
Is it?
”Quan Xu patted Cao Huachun on the shoulder and said, "This depends on luck, if the seizure is less, you will be divided into 10,000 taels, and if there is more, you will be divided into 30,000, 50,000 and 80,000......
No one can say!
”Cao Huachun sighed with a sigh, Quan Xu is much more sleek than Lu Xiangsheng, and now that Lu Xiangsheng has been impeached into a sieve, he doesn't know how long his holy family can last.However, Jeon Wook is different.He said do it, then do it.The first to dispatch the whole family army is the cavalry unit of the whole family army, the four cavalry brigades are the simplest, each carrying three war horses, one pack to transport supplies, two horses to transfer, each with a month's provisions, all the way to the east.There are only two paths left in front of Jiannu, either retreat or bury in Korea.PS: I didn't eat dinner today, I was a little hungry, and I wrote for more than six hours in a row, more than 12,000 words, everyone watched first, and I will write another chapter later.
