That is to say, the profit from selling a load of sea salt by the Governor’s Office almost reached an astonishing two ounces of silver.
Calculated according to the population of 150 million, it needs 20 million tons a year. Calculated according to the profit of two taels of silver and one load of sea salt, it is exactly 40 million taels of silver, which is much higher than the income of refined salt.
Chapter four hundred and fifty Huang Taiji concerns
Of course, for these things, Wei Zheng will smile in his heart and won’t say it.
After a short meditation, Wei Zheng continued to ask, "The imperial court has given handsome benefits, and handsome has received it … When a word is well said, there is no lunch. Let’s talk about it. What can the imperial court do for handsome? To be handsome, Shuai Neng must do it … "
Wang Zhongying didn’t miss this opportunity to answer at once: "David, according to our negotiation, after three months, the governor-general of Shanshan should pay taxes to the court for one year … The court hopes that the two provinces of Shanshan can pay these taxes in advance. Of course, if the governor-general of Shanshan doesn’t have silver food instead, it can be …"
"As far as the official knows, the two provinces in Shaanxi and Shaanxi have made great efforts to promote water conservancy, and whether it is private land or wasteland has gained an unprecedented harvest. The official believes that David will understand the difficulties of the court and help the court tide over this difficulty …"
Three million and two thousand silver, according to the current grain price in Beijing, is six hundred thousand tons of grain …
These soldiers are really nothing to get an unprecedented harvest with millions of loads of grain in their hands, but Weizheng does not intend to be so cheap to the court.
After thinking about it, he replied to Wang Zhongying: "Three million and two thousand pieces of silver are converted into grain according to the market price, which is 600,000 tons … These grains can be easily taken out or given to the court immediately …"
Wei Zheng’s words here with a heartfelt smile has emerged to barely Wang Zhongying face.
But WeiZheng pick up this sentence directly let him just emerge to smile instantaneous solidification.
"But the court must make up for the loss caused by handsome’s tax payment in the first three months …"
"Loss …" His face instantly solidified to Wang Zhongying and asked with a puzzled face.
Wei Zheng’s face is not red and he doesn’t jump. "Yes, it’s a loss …"
"Three million and two thousand dollars is a large sum of silver … If Shuai is a businessman, he can turn three million and two thousand dollars into four million and two thousand dollars in three months, but if the court helps Shuai sell refined salt and glass, he won’t need so much compensation, but he is not handsome at all."
"Want the court to be handsome, you can hand over these grains, but these grains are not six hundred thousand bears, but five hundred thousand bears … Wang Daren, you should consider this proposal of a handsome man …"
Knowing the dilemma of the imperial court, although Wang Zhongying was heartbroken and lost 100,000 tons of grain in vain, he still replied with a cruel heart: "But the official hopes to return to Beijing with this batch of grain …"
The Governor of Shaanxi Province, Wei Zheng, started the second time of the orthodox Emperor Chongzhen in the Great Dynasty.
The secret agreement between the imperial court and the Shaanxi Governor’s Office was also passed by the intelligence personnel of Houjin Office to Houjin Taiji Ear.
When the minister of civil and military affairs of the late Jin Dynasty learned that the Liaodong Peninsula was going to be handed over to the Tiger and Leopard Army by the great court, the whole court of the late Jin Dynasty was bombed.
Although most of these civil and military ministers have never really seen the Tiger and Leopard Army, can it be an army with the lowest combat effectiveness that can drive the late Tiger General Dourgen to the wall again and again and kill the battlefield army? The answer is obvious …
Since the news that Dourgen of the late Jin Dynasty defeated the Tiger and Leopard Army and died in the battlefield arrived in the late Jin Dynasty, every minister of civil and military affairs in the late Jin Dynasty had a deep fear of the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army …
The only thing that makes Houjin Wenwu feel lucky is that the Tiger and Leopard Army is not really at the border with Houjin. No matter how strong the fighting capacity of the Tiger and Leopard Army is, it is impossible to threaten Houjin for a short time.
Then Jin can benefit from this period of tit-for-tat training to train an army with combat effectiveness no less than that of Tiger and Leopard. In addition, Jin Tieqi can also take advantage of this period to continue to invade the south and plunder the country. After that, Jin urgently needs all kinds of strategic materials and food to enhance Jin’s strength.
However, once Liaodong Peninsula, which borders and is on the flank of Houjin, is controlled by Houjin, the situation will change dramatically …
First of all, the Liaodong Peninsula, which has been regarded as a bag by the late Jin Dynasty, will be occupied by the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the Jin Army will not be able to gain control of the Liaodong Peninsula from the Tiger and Leopard Army so easily.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
Once the Liaodong Peninsula is controlled by the Tiger and Leopard Army, the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army can send troops from the flank to attack the hinterland of Houjin and threaten the whole foreign rule of Houjin …
In this case, it is necessary to draw a main force from the limited forces to guard against the tiger and leopard army to ensure the safety of the latter.
What’s more important is that the Tiger and Leopard Army, an army with strong fighting capacity, threatens the latter’s flank at any time, and there is no way for the latter to launch a large-scale attack on the whole national strength of the latter, so as to further enhance the latter’s needs …
After thinking through all this, it is rare for the minister of Jin Wenwu to form a unified opinion.
Before and after the Tiger and Leopard Army took over the Liaodong Peninsula from the big court, the Golden Horse and the Golden Horse were heavily armed and took the Liaodong Peninsula in their ears, thus preventing the Tiger and Leopard Army from entering the Liaodong threat.
So when it was just calm for less than a year, it became tense again with the mobilization of a large number of troops
With several war horses, all the war supplies department relied on the battlefield to capture the rear fighters. Only two days later, two flags were tied, totaling 20,000 rear fighters and 20,000 infantry troops were pressed to Liaodong Peninsula.
Of course, if it’s just these steps to defend Liaodong 50 thousand loyalists with walls and firearms for a few months, there is absolutely no problem
However, after Zunhua battlefield saw the sharp weapons of Tiger and Leopard and plundered thousands of craftsmen from the Great War, the surface of the latter Jin army has not changed at all, but each flag in the latter Jin Dynasty is equipped with 50 guns with different calibers …
If we come to project these artillery pieces, the battlefield has far exceeded that of the big border army.
Chapter four hundred and fifty-one Sun Chengzong
These artillery assistance has always been bad at attacking the city, and the golden fighters are invincible as if they have wings.
When the news that Liaodong was attacked reached the capital, Jin Tieqi had captured three cities in a row and wiped out all the soldiers …
How can the imperial court have the energy and ability to send troops to support Liaodong in blocking the attack of the late Jin fighters when the late Jin fighters suddenly come to fish in troubled waters and rob them without solving most of the riots?
So an imperial edict was sent directly to the big city, but it hasn’t come yet. Wang Zhongying was asked to persuade Wei Zheng to send reinforcements and take over all the defenses in Liaodong Peninsula …
In the face of sudden changes, not only Wang Zhongying Wei Zheng was shocked.
Is it a big history that the late Jin fighters are launching this attack?
That is to say, the historical trend of this era has begun to change unconsciously with its growing strength.
Thought of here, Wei Zheng’s face became dignified.
Because of this, it is no longer possible for me to rely on history in the future. All roads in the future need to be taken by myself. There is no evidence to follow …
More importantly, the Tiger and Leopard Army has just begun to reorganize, but it is not ready to attack Liaodong Peninsula.
But Liaodong Peninsula must be saved, otherwise it will lose this threatening and attacking golden land.
Soon Sun Chengzong, Wang Feng, Zhao Yun and Kelly Y Zhou were gathered together by Wei Zheng.
After reading the battle report sent by the imperial court, Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, was the first to come out and said, "No matter how difficult it is, my idea is to send troops to Liaodong to ensure that Liaodong is in our hands … Otherwise, not only the imperial court but also we will suffer a lot in the end …"
Wei Zheng nodded and asked, "Tell me about your reasons …"
"There are three reasons: First, the people proved that our component, the Tiger and Leopard Army, was not rebelling against the imperial court, but fighting for a thousand Tatars. When Zunhua was attacked by the late Jin Tatars, we would still fight when we had our own territory and would continue to fight …"
"Second, we have a battle between the Tiger and Leopard Army and the late Jin Dynasty Tartars sooner or later. If we have this piece that can threaten the Liaodong Peninsula in the hinterland of the late Jin Dynasty, this battle will be very beneficial for us in the future. We must protect the Liaodong Peninsula and let it be in our own hands …"
"Once the third Liaodong Peninsula falls into the hands of the late Jin Tatars, we have just won the Shandong Peninsula from the imperial court, and we will directly face the threat of the late Jin Tatars. After occupying the Liaodong Peninsula, the late Jin Tatars can attack our Shandong Peninsula by sea, which is more within the attack range of the late Jin Tatars than the whole southeast coast."
"Combining these three reasons, I firmly believe that no matter how difficult it is, we must reinforce Liaodong Peninsula and hold it …"
After listening to Sun Chengzong, the chief of staff, for three reasons, several people’s faces showed a thoughtful expression except Wei Zheng.
At this time, Kelly Y Zhou suddenly said: "The guard has not changed the grain tax into silver this year, but he has twice attacked Mongolia’s income from refined salt and glass … There are still a lot of surplus cash, a governor’s treasury, and thirteen million and two silver and grain treasuries …"
At this time, the chief of staff followed closely and said: "On the other hand, the material support requires the equipment produced by the logistics department to be suspended, and the local garrison can also ensure a high-intensity battle for the field army …"
Hearing this, Wei Zheng was worried that more than half of them were directly missing.
Because Wei Zheng knows very well that besides testing the combat effectiveness of the participating troops, there is also an important factor, that is, testing the logistics coping ability of the two warring troops
Now the logistics of Tiger and Leopard Army should be obviously abundant, so there is no need to worry about Wei Zheng.
