Chapter 490 Protect the Qing Dynasty and protect Confucianism!
The best military strategist in the world still makes sense!
He has a thorough understanding of the internal situation of Wu Zhou. Basically, Wu Zhou is not a group with ideals, but an interest group. Perhaps there are several people within the Wu Zhou Group who want to revive the Han family world.
An ideal minister, but most people are not like this.
Moreover, the emergence of the New Ming Dynasty also gradually moved the ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty away from Wu Sangui's group, turning them into a pure interest group.
This is probably not as good as the Manchu Qing Dynasty. There were still many idealists in the Manchu Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period... It is also an ideal to maintain the rule of the Eight Banners nobles forever!
The lack of ideals made the Wu Zhou Group too profit-seeking and unable to withstand major setbacks.
When Wu Sangui's violent death was in the interests of most people within the group, no one cared how Wu Sangui died.
After all, if Wu Sangui is alive, it will be difficult for Wu Zhou and the Qing Dynasty to join forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty - Wu Sangui is too capricious, his ambition seems to be too great, and he seems to be a bit stubborn and ignorant.
And Wu Yingxiong's wife, Princess Jianning, was the daughter of Huang Taiji and the aunt of Emperor Kangxi... If Wu Yingxiong became the leader of Wu Zhou, then it would be easier for Wu Zhou and the Qing Dynasty to join forces to fight against the Ming Dynasty.
In the view of this group of Wu and Zhou senior officials who are familiar with "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", now is the best time to promote the "Wu-Shu Alliance"!
So Wu Sangui should die if he dies!
But Wu Yingqi’s policy must be different from Wu Yingxiong’s group... If Wu Yingqi also supports uniting with the Qing Dynasty to resist the Ming Dynasty, then why should he oppose Wu Yingxiong? Is it because the cause of Wu Sangui’s death is suspicious?
It’s okay for the two Wu brothers to settle this matter themselves, but it’s not okay to risk the future and fate of the entire Wu Zhou Group for this!
Do the prominent figures within the Wu Zhou Group not know the result of Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang killing each other?
Therefore, Wu Yingqi had to hold high the banner of anti-Qing in order to temporarily maintain control of his army.
But if he lacks a feasible goal and sufficient financial resources, it will still be very difficult to maintain the situation.
Because his subordinates are also the masters in the middle!
The battle of Zhuxian Town has been so miserable, and now that the old master is dead again, if they want to continue to fight against the Qing, they must increase their money.
"Qilong," Zhu Heji said to Yang Qilong, patting his chest at this time, "now Ming Dynasty is rich... I can give as much as Wu Yingqi can counterattack! There is plenty of money, as long as he is willing to listen to me
If so, go and fight against the Qing Dynasty."
"Your Majesty," Yang Qilong looked at Zhu Heji, the "rich king", with a somewhat suspicious look, "Wu Yingqi is not the only place to spend money now... Dengzhou must also seize the time to spend money!
It costs money to house the family members who followed the King of Heaven to Dengzhou to work on the canal work. It also costs money to recruit strong men in Shandong. It also costs money to raise military rations, equipment, and horses in Shandong. It also costs money to organize and train tens of thousands of new troops in Dengzhou.
Occupying Lushun and Pidao, and rebuilding Liaonan Town and Dongjiang Town will cost a lot of money!
And the faster the money is invested and the harder it is spent, the better the effect will be!”
Zhu Heji smiled, "I understand... this is just burning money to grab territory! The money was burned in place from the beginning, and the situation in Shandong and Liaodong was opened up. In the future, we can use the troops of Shandong and Liaodong."
Horse, pass through the Liaoxi Corridor, break through the mountains and seas, and go to Dingding Beijing!"
"Your Majesty, you are wise!" Yang Qilong frowned, "Your Majesty, do you have that much money? Can you bribe Wu Yingqi to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and at the same time spend a lot of money on Dengzhou? All of this money must be spent immediately.
!”
"Yes!" Zhu Hefeng said calmly, "Isn't it just money? How much can it be spent? Yuan Chonghuan said how much he planned to spend in a year during the Ping Liao period in five years? I will give this amount to my father.
, I also allowed him to open a mansion in Dengzhou. Is this a head office? As for Wu Yingqi... Now that Su Yong has opened the road to Henan, the Gu family plans to make Zuo Chunqiu have a hard time!
Qilong, do you think it would be enough to give Wu Yingqi one million taels of silver at a time so that he can use it to buy our weapons, gunpowder, sugar, medicine and other things he wants?"
Yang Qilong didn't know how much Yuan Chonghuan asked Chongzhen for. But the amount must be a lot, otherwise Emperor Chongzhen wouldn't have Yuan Chonghuan chopped up with a knife.
Now Zhu Heji wants to give this amount to King Zhu Tian, and he plans to give Wu Yingqi one million... How could the Ming Dynasty be so rich?
"Your Majesty, does our court really have that much money?" Yang Qilong was still a little unbelievable.
What he heard and witnessed from childhood was that Long Live Lord (Chongzhen) had no money, the court (Ming Dynasty) had no money, and when Li Zicheng called, he couldn't get the money to "buy soldiers to save his life", so he died of poverty...
..The current territory of the New Ming Dynasty is only one-third of the size of the Chongzhen Dynasty. How come there is so much money?
"Rich!" Zhu Heji said with certainty, "Qilong, I am different from Mr. Wei Miao, I know how to make money!"
Warfare and rebellion were actually Zhu Heji's "side jobs", and making money was his true calling.
"What to do?" Yang Qilong was still asking.
Zhu Heji laughed loudly and said loudly: "Chen Yidao, come and collect taxes!"
Collect taxes?
Yang Qilong was stunned, who is collecting taxes?
Just as I was thinking about it, Chen Yidao had already come in with the tax collectors... to collect taxes!
Zhu Heji smiled and asked Yang Qilong: "Qilong, you just said that Burni gave you two hundred thousand taels of gold, and you gave my father one hundred thousand taels. Did the remaining one hundred thousand taels come with the ship?"
"
"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation..." Yang Qilong was anxious. He knew that it was wrong to be greedy for money, but Zhu Heji had always indulged him, so he was a little forgetful.
Zhu Heji smiled and waved his hand, "No need to explain... The lonely king gave you 200,000 taels of gold and asked you to go north to make trouble. How do you spend it? The lonely king doesn't ask at all, the lonely king only cares about the results!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And with this result, the lonely king is very satisfied! So that one hundred thousand taels of gold is what you should earn... This is earned based on your ability, the lonely king is not
Jealous. But since you have made so much gold, King Gu cannot give you credit, otherwise many people will suffer from red eye."
Yang Qilong couldn't believe it, one hundred thousand taels of gold! This king really doesn't want it?
"Your Majesty," Yang Qilong was stunned for a long time before he managed to say something, "has this hundred thousand taels of gold really returned to me?"
Zhu Heji smiled and nodded, "But... you still have to pay the tax! Is your one hundred thousand taels of gold physical gold?"
"Yes...they are all gold ingots."
Zhu Heji nodded: "According to the new tax law, if you carry physical gold out of more than one thousand taels, you will have to pay transportation duties! Because this gold has not paid taxes before, you have to pay about five thousand taels according to the standard of twenty tax one.
The tax on gold.”
"Just pay five thousand taels?"
"It's almost five thousand taels, and there is still a tax-free amount to be deducted."
"I will hand it over immediately!" Yang Qilong said with a smile, "I will send someone to move the gold immediately!"
"Wait a minute." Zhu Heji waved his hand and stopped him, "How much this gold is worth and how much tax you should pay... It's not up to you or Chen Yidao to decide."
"Then who has the final say?" Yang Qilong was confused.
Zhu Heji smiled and said: "The Dongchang Guanyinhao has the final say! From Longjiang, there is the Nanjing headquarters of the Dongchang Guanyinhao outside the Longjiangkou pier. All the tax money at Longjiang Pass is passed by the Guanyinhao.
. You can't see one tael of silver in Longjiang Pass, so there is nothing to waste the money.
In addition, if gold, silver, silver coins, copper coins and other items pass customs in physical form, as long as they exceed a certain amount, they will have to pay customs duties in accordance with the "New Tax Law". However, as long as they are deposited in an official bank account or other bank account, or in a
Once the bill is passed, there is no need to pay customs duties. However, when collecting interest, you will have to pay some interest tax, but this is much less than the customs tax.
So if you have money in the future, just deposit it into an official and private bank account...it's easy to carry around and you don't have to pay taxes when passing customs."
