"Your Majesty, would you be worried about a mere 200 soldiers costing [-] million taels a year?" Zuo Mao smiled first, he knew that Zhu Youjian had a solution.

"Then what are you talking about, what will I do?" Zhu Youjian looked at Zuo Maodi and asked.

"The emperor opened banks for exchanging silver dollars all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang two months ago. How can such a huge silver mountain be worth worrying about?" Zuo Maodi despised Zhu Youjian in his heart, and had been with the emperor for more than half a year. This thing has already been learned.

"Hahaha, then do you estimate, how big a silver mountain can I use 1000 million taels of silver?" Zhu Youjian actually said this to Huang Zongxi, who is next to Zuo Maodi, and probably only this kid doesn't understand The truth here.

"At least ten times." Without even thinking about it, Zuo Maodi blurted out, "Even more than ten times. As long as your majesty makes an order, there will be tens of millions of silver dollars for you to use immediately."

Huang Zongxi was shocked when he heard it. According to the Confucian understanding of economy, the value of goods in the world is constant, and only the land can produce. How can Zhu Youjian use so much money all of a sudden? ?

"If you borrow it, you have to pay it back! Sooner or later, you have to take it out." Zhu Youjian pretended to be pitiful.

"Let the land out to farmers this year, and give loan sharks to the refugees to build houses next year. The emperor's calculation is really shrewd." Zuo Maodi simply didn't bother to talk about such boring topics, and turned his head away to read the newspaper. Recently, Jin Shengtan's newspaper has gotten better and better, and even published novels.

"Huang Zongxi made a note: the king of the Tang Dynasty opened a money deposit business in the bank. All Ming people who have spare money to deposit in the imperial bank will not be charged any fees. You can exchange it for silver dollars before depositing, and you can withdraw them at any time."

Qianzhuang first appeared in the middle of Ming Dynasty. By the end of Ming Dynasty, Qianzhuang had become an independent financial organization. Become a banknote-like credit circulation tool issued by the bank.In addition, several small-scale money exchange shops and money rice shops are quite active in rural areas.

It's just that the bank for this matter needs to pay a custody fee for saving money.If it is depositing silver, there must be a fire consumption problem.But since Zhu Youjian launched the silver dollar, there is no fire loss, and of course there is no loss cost.

In this era, only Zhu Youjian has the financial resources to reach the whole country, and there will be no such thing as Qiao Zhiyong in the future.

Instead of letting the money of the rich man's family be buried in the cellar to become moldy, instead of letting it be exchanged for silver dollars and deposited in the imperial bank so that Zhu Youjian could be in trouble, that's what Zhu Youjian thought.

He originally wanted to issue treasury bonds, but then he thought about it again. If treasury bonds were issued in this era, he was afraid that if the money was not borrowed, the whole Ming Dynasty would be panicked.

The problem in Hubei must be subsidized by the imperial court. Now that the household department has no money, it can only find a way out of the pockets of the rich.

Only when the population of Hubei is raised to a large scale can sufficient tax revenue be generated.

"Huang Aiqing, tell me it's also about population and tax issues. We are using the tax reform method. How will Hong Chengchou solve the Houjin matter?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Huang Zongyi, intending to test him.In fact, Zhu Youjian wanted to hear Chen Zilong's thoughts more. After all, it was Chen Zilong who was exercising in the household department.

Seeing Huang Zongyi lost in thought, Zhu Youjian looked at Zuo Maodi.

"Don't look at me, I really don't know how to do this. You might as well ask me how Hong Chengchou will train troops in Henan."

"The Eight Banners are enclosing land everywhere in the north, which will definitely prevent Hong Chengchou from enforcing the allocation of land into the mu. The people can't see the benefits, and they don't want to come out of the mountains, so their taxes can't be collected.

It must cost a lot to support hundreds of thousands of troops, and the source of tax revenue in the whole north has dropped sharply. This is the truth of Hong Chengchou's eagerness to rob the population, right? "Huang Zongyi thought for a long time, and finally spoke.

Zhu Youjian became happy when he heard that, and quickly asked: "In addition to robbing our people, how will Hong Chengchou treat the people in the northern mountainous area?"

"I can't figure it out." Huang Zongyi had no choice but to honestly say that according to Confucian thinking, it must be the method of enlightenment.

"I can figure this out. Hong Chengchou only uses military means to send troops to rob and force people to emigrate." Zuo Maodi always likes to think about military affairs.

"I think, at this time, the Taihang Mountains must be full of smoke and wailing! I hope Hong Chengchou can deal with the people more gently." Zhu Youjian looked at the north, and he could already imagine the tragedy there.

"Your Majesty, we should leave for Yiling tomorrow. How many people will we bring?" Ji Biao walked in and asked.

"How many days has it been since the imperial decree for Qin Liangyu was issued?" Zhu Youjian returned to reality.

"It has been sent out ten days in advance, but I don't know if the old lady's health can bear it. The road from Shizhu to Yiling is not easy." Zuo Maodi said.

"Let's go to Yiling first. If Qin Liangyu doesn't come, I'll go to Shizhu. This trip, I must see her. Take two thousand soldiers by the way, and also bring Gao Guiying and Gao Xing."

"Why bring them?" Zuo Maodi was puzzled.

"They are all heroes of Ming Dynasty. Seeing the old lady have something in common is more useful than the few of us."

"Your Majesty, I'm worried that they will fight when they meet."

"Then wait for the two of them to fight before leaving."

Chapter 243: Revisiting the old place

The two women met, and the scene disappointed all the gentlemen.

Originally, everyone was waiting to see their sons and daughters fight, but unfortunately, when the two women met, they didn't communicate at all, they didn't even look at each other, and they were directly ignored by each other.

The imaginary "battle" did not happen at all, they just treated each other as if the other did not exist.

Everyone glanced at each other, and the meaning expressed in the eyes was obvious: let's go, there is no fun to watch.

"Slap!" When everyone turned their heads away, there was a crisp applause.

Gao Xing was slapped, how could she bear this, she drew her sword immediately.Gao Guiying was not a vegetarian either, so she drew her saber at the hand after the slap.

The two of you come and go, not forgiving.Gao Guiying scolded Mrs. Xing as a slut, not a woman; Mrs. Xing scolded Gao Guiying for meddling, saying that she didn't like Li Zicheng and deservedly dumped.

"Two, two. Stop for a moment!" Zhu Youjian was forced to helplessly. He originally wanted to watch a play, but was forced to stand up to persuade him to fight.

They are all his subordinates, and if he doesn't try to persuade him to fight, it will still be a loss for the emperor if something goes wrong.Zhu Youjian was even a little jealous of Li Zicheng, at least there were women fighting for him, Zhu Youjian estimated that this matter would definitely not be his fault.

"Stop what you want, let's finish playing first." The children said in unison, ignoring Zhu Youjian at all.No one listens to his emperor's words now, so don't try to reason in front of women.

Both sides are not good at fighting, and their kung fu is not bad, especially Gao Guiying, who is not a weak man directly, and has repeatedly forced Mrs. Xing to retreat.

"You hit the wrong person." Zhu Youjian yelled seeing that this was going to be impossible.The second daughter was taken aback, turned her head to look at him, and went inside without knowing.

"Why did you make a mistake?" Gao Guiying held Madam Xing's sword and was furious.

"She doesn't want your man anymore, so you have one less rival in love. Since it's a good thing, why do you beat her? And you, you have a new man, why are you fighting with the old man's wife? You two Are you looking for something to do?"

Zhu Youjian almost carried Li Zicheng out, so he was embarrassed to say it because he was dead.

"It seems to be right!" Mrs. Xing said to herself.They got into a fight out of nowhere, and it was because of an unworthy man.

Gao Guiying also backed away, she also seemed to think that the other party was not her love rival, so she figured it out a bit.Both of them withdrew their swords, as if the smoke had cleared.

"No, she called me a bitch just now. It's not for some dead man, it's for my reputation." Mrs. Xing realized that she was almost fooled by Zhu Youjian.

Mrs. Xing made a move here, how could Gao Guiying stop.Under the slash of the knife and sword, sparks flew everywhere, and Zhu Youjian was so scared that he hurried back to the house.

Zuo Maodi and Huang Zongxi stood at the door and looked outside, they didn't know kung fu, but they were quite courageous.Zhu Youjian had forgotten that Huang Zongxi dared to assassinate the commander of Jin Yiwei.

"You go to persuade him?" Zuo Maodi pushed Huang Zongxi, and Huang Zongxi backed away in fright.

......

Yiling, out of the Three Gorges, is now a hill.

The Yangtze River rushes out of the gorge and enters the plain.There is the famous Xiaoting ancient battlefield here, and there are footprints of literati in the past dynasties, all because of Bashu.

Zhu Youjian brought the brigade not to fight, but because after entering the Daba Mountains, there may be many bandits entrenched.Yiling Prefecture was changed to Xiazhou in the [-]th year of Ming Hongwu, and it was governed by Yichang City, Hubei Province, which belonged to Jingzhou Prefecture.
