Fan 40: Mid-Autumn Festival
August, Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was originally a time to reunite with the family on the moonlit night, but Jia Qiang, as the emperor, led all the civil and military officials to visit Tianjin.
Eight scarred giant ships are arranged in sequence at the port of sea. Under the moonlit night, the black Yoyo's cannons are hideous and terrifying.
However, at this moment, no one looked at the national weapon created by Jia Qiang that had exhausted his family's fortune. His eyes were all concentrated on the pier's open space... on the mountain of gold!
It's the real goldsho!
Except for less than 30% of the gold ingots, the rest are unformed gold nuggets, gold particles and even golden sand...
The Grand Secretary of Military Machinery is not a shallow eye, and the annual income of the national treasury is definitely greater than that of this mountain of gold.
But even so, there has never been so intuitive and so much gold.
Judging from this situation, there are not three to five million taels, at least two million taels!
It’s worth at least 20 million taels if converted into silver!
The national treasury earns more than 30 million taels per year, but every tael of Lin Ruhai wishes to be a ten-two flower, and none of them is redundant...
Not to mention the hot eyes of the civil and military men, even Jia Qiang was very surprised. He looked at Yan Sanniang, who was standing beside him, and smiled in surprise: "Why are you so? Have you copied the treasury of the Wazi Kingdom?"
Yan Sanniang was also very happy when she saw Jia Qiang so happy and said with a smile: "The treasury of the Wazi Kingdom may not have so much gold. I have confiscated the old nest of Sado Jinshan, which the Uesugi clan, the strong vassal of the Wazi Kingdom, which depended for survival. The Wazi Kingdom has many gold and silver mountains. The Sado Jinshan on Sado Island is one of the three major gold mountains of Wazi Kingdom, and most of them are gold.
But I didn't expect that Uesugi would stock up on so much gold there. I heard from the prisoners that I had accumulated for three years and was planning to expand the army to buy artillery... But it was not bizarre. After all, Sado Island is very easy to defend but difficult to attack. If I hadn't taken advantage of the night and unexpectedly led the fleet to attack, dozens of artillery fired at all times, and suddenly dazed the Japanese slaves, it might not have been so smooth. It was all up to the Emperor Hong Fu to protect him!"
Jia Qiang became more and more happy when he heard this. Although these golds were almost a drop in the bucket compared to the 200 million taels of silver that were taken away in the 19898s and the sins committed in the decades afterwards, it was still good to finally see the money back.
Besides, this is just the beginning...
He laughed and said, "Okay, okay! With these golds as the foundation, the northern border can be leveled, and the vaccinia seedlings can be planted. The construction of sea ships does not have to stagnate. The progress of opening the sea can be greatly accelerated! The grain and rice from the Qin vassal, Han vassal and other places is continuously transported, and mulberry and hemp from Tianzhu and other places can also be transported back quickly. Three years later, I will ask no one to starve to death in Dayan and no one to death in freezing!"
Is there such a grand event from ancient times to the present?
It’s not that this gold worth 20 million taels is so big, but these golds can solve the current worries of silver.
In this way, the overall situation can be revitalized!
"Issue: The Liang Concubine's trip was a great contribution to the court and the country, and helped me a lot. She was promoted to the title of Imperial Concubine!"
If the imperial concubines in the family are not valuable today... they cannot be said to be worthless, but they are not that noble, because they are all imperial concubines...
But the imperial concubine is much more noble, because there is only one queen and imperial concubine above.
There is only one imperial concubine, Xue Baochai, because Jia Qiang started his business, the Delin name was helped by the Xue Jiafeng brand. To this day, Xue Ming, the second wife of the Xue family, is still the number one shopkeeper of the Delin name.
Another person, Li Jing, should have this position. In terms of achievements, Li Jing is never inferior to the Xue family, but Li Jing herself firmly rejected the position of imperial concubine.
After spending time in the world, I have a very deep understanding of the word rules.
She knew that she was different from Baochai, and even from Yan Sanniang.
It was Yan Sanniang. Although she had a high prestige, most of the soldiers and generals under her command were from the Canal Shangcai Gang.
The eldest son of the Cao Gang, Ding Chao, was Jia Qiang's front pawn. He was convinced and loyal, and was the second-in-commander of the Delin Navy.
So even though Yan Sanniang left the army for so long, the Delin Navy remained unrest.
But Li Jing is different. She is an absolute soul figure among the Night Owls based on the Golden Sands Gang.
Jia Qiang gave her great trust, even if Yue Zhixiang came later, Yue Zhixiang's apprentice Zhao Shidao, and Li Chunyu later...
But Jia Qiang had never moved the Ye Xiao's part before, and could not penetrate the knife or pour water into it.
That's why Li Jing is content and knows how to avoid suspicion.
After turning a family into the world, it was not just a pure family matter...
In this way, the position of this imperial concubine became more and more valuable.
After Yan Sanniang was happy to thank her, Jia Qiang rewarded the meritorious soldiers in turn, and then he followed the civil and military officials to return to the Tianjin Palace.
When he sat down on the dragon throne, looking at the solemn and even dark faces, Jia Qiang burst into laughter. However, seeing that even Lin Ruhai's brows were frowning, he waved his hand and said, "If you feel that what I do is indecent, even despicable, embarrassing, don't speak up. In fact, you shouldn't know that the country of Wazi was locked in by the Western barbarians, and that they did not go out to harm people. But a few hundred years ago, the Japanese slaves were still less when they ravaged the territory of the Han family? Such a little gold was not enough to make up for it."
Li Su was so handsome and said in a deep voice: "Although what the emperor said is not false, it is just those beasts, so he is doing the beastly way. My great Yan Heavenly Kingdom is the king of hundreds of millions of common people. How noble is it? How can we imitate this?! The emperor cannot bear to increase taxes on the people, but if all the people learn that the king and father have done plunder to reduce their burdens, how can they deal with themselves? How can they deal with themselves? I heard that as a minister, the king is worried about his ministers and suffers his ministers, and the king is humiliated and died! The emperor... the emperor..."
Jia Qiang's eyes were straightened. He thought that this move would make civil and military dislike it, and even strongly opposed it. However, he did not expect that a prime minister like Li Su could choke up and cry in court.
Jia Qiang could see that this old boy was really heartbroken and looked in pain...
What made him even more serious was that Li Su started to do so, and the others followed one after another and knelt down and started crying.
Jia Qiangnahan, he asked his wife to go out to rob, not to go out to beg for food. As for this?
He said helplessly: "All all the crimes and responsibilities are in my hands, not to rely on you..."
Before he finished speaking, his crying was three times louder.
Jia Qiang: "..."
Lin Ruhai sighed and turned around to talk to the civil and military officials: "The emperor sent a good concubine to Japan to conquer the gold and silver. This matter originally involved military and state secrets to avoid panic, so it has not been promoted yet..."
Lu Jia was a smart man. After hearing the words, he hurriedly continued: "I don't know what Yuan Fu said...ah! Could it be that extremely dangerous thing?"
Lin Ruhai pulled the corner of his mouth, looked at Lu Jia's honest and honest face, nodded slightly, but did not accept his words, and said bluntly: "In the past three years, the imperial court has successively opened up Qin vassals and Han vassals. As for the countries within Malacca, they have almost become Dayan vassal states. The emperor said that there will be no more hungry people in Dayan, so he pointed to these places that are ripe for three years. But who doesn't like good things? These lands were occupied by Western barbarians. After being driven away by the emperor, he
How could we be willing? It was agreed to attack the East-West and East Wazi Kingdom to destroy the Great Yan. The emperor sent Liangfei to attack the Kingdom of Wazi Kingdom to break the situation of being attacked by the enemy from both sides. Otherwise, if the five powerful countries of the West, thousands of giant ships and cannons attacked, and the Kingdom of Wazi Kingdom came from the East China Sea again, Da Yan would be in danger. Originally, this top-secret military aircraft could not be easily leaked, but now I am not afraid. Liangfei defeated the Kingdom of the Kingdom of Wazi War, and the momentum of attack was broken! As for the Western Barbarians, if Malacca is blocked, Da Yan will be worried!"
...
All officials retreated.
Jia Qiang looked at the military department and the civil and military giants of the Five Army Governor's Office, and knew that Lin Ruhai's words could not be hidden from them, so he couldn't help but feel a headache: "Benevolence, righteousness and morality are right, and it should be vigorously promoted, but I think this is the internal. But between countries, there is only one word "fight"! Saying "fight" is polite, but in fact it is a life-threatening fight! Look at the Western barbarians, they are all fierce to the outside world like hunting dogs and jackals, and to the inside, but they are gentle and respectful to the people. People don't spend money on treating illnesses or studying, and just like this, they still call their court a waste every day... I think that even if the Great Yan can't do that, the four words "Saint in the inner and outer kings can always be done?"
The Westerners are naturally far from that good now. The tragedy of sheep eating people after the Industrial Revolution has not been long since. The bloody and cruel capital accumulation is just about to begin...
But there is no need to tell these things to the prime ministers and important officials, just saying that he needs them to know is...
Sure enough, the ministers were shocked.
They think they should understand more about the Western Barbarians.
Jia Qiang said again: "I will not do this for other countries. I am also a disciple of the saints who are taught by the saints. How could I not know that the etiquette of the Great Yan country can destroy the country and plunder the people's wealth? Look at it, even the Annan, Siam, Luzon, and Dayan also relieve the people from the dangers of water and fire. In addition to putting strong pressure on the bullies and the lackeys of the Western barbarians, the rest of the people with equal and friendly exchanges with the people of other countries. Use real money and silver to buy food from them, and sell them cloth and various utensils, and they are not all high-priced. Not to mention that they are a hundred times stronger than the rule of the Western barbarians, they are much stronger than the court rule of their own country.
However, the only country of Wazi cannot be achieved. The people in this country cannot be said to be 100% of the bad people, but 90% of them are bad people, so there will be no mistakes.
The Wazi Kingdom has turned over all year round, and there are many natural disasters. The names of the country are not clean, and they are still fighting with the Silla Kingdom all day long. The ancestors said that the poor mountains and rivers are too bad to have many troublesome people, and this statement is not bad in the Wazi Kingdom.
Even if this evil dog is not destroyed, it will not cause a big disaster and will sooner or later disgust people!
Therefore, don’t blame me for being determined to do whatever I want. If I don’t destroy this dynasty, I will not be able to rest assured even if I am the day when the Dragon Lord returns to heaven.”
This is quite heavy, who dares to talk more?
The Yongcheng Hou Xue Xian said in a deep voice: "Since the emperor does not like this country, what's the point of destroying it? I have received a lot of grace from the emperor and I am willing to personally take over the tiger beside the Great Yan and destroy this court food!"
Jia Qiang's expression was soothing when she heard this, she waved her hand and smiled, "No need to do this. At present, the Japanese bed bugs are too busy to take care of themselves. The court must first deal with the threat from the Western Barbarians. What Mr. said just now is not a false statement."
Xue Xian naturally would not know nothing about the current situation. He looked at Jia Qiang and said seriously: "Emperor, if so, the court should send a large army to Malacca and Batavia. At least one battalion of Jing camps and one battalion of firearms to station. The Delin army is powerful, but it is a new army after all. Jing camps and firearms are carefully trained for three years, and then adopted the Delin army's training and training rules, which is very useful!"
Jia Qiang heard this but hesitated and said slowly: "It's not very suitable? After all, the vassal state is a foreign vassal state..."
Hearing this, the ministers changed their qualities. With Xue Xian's calmness, they couldn't help but speak loudly: "The country of the foreign vassal is also the land of the emperor! The people of the foreign vassal are the people of the emperor. What is the place where does the emperor say mean?"
Jia Qiang knew that he had made a mistake, and laughed and said, "You are misunderstandings. It's not about sorting out the categories and looking down on you. On the contrary, they are looking down on you. I feel that the Great Yan is the foundation, and no matter what, the peace and peace of the Great Yan should not be delayed by the affairs of the vassal state. By ten or twenty years, it will probably be one, because more and more people will move there. But at present, the local area is still the priority. I have said that if you don't interfere in the government affairs of the court, you must hand over all the military affairs to the Governor's Office of the Five Army, so you are unwilling to transfer troops from the local area."
Xue Xian's expression calmed down and said in a deep voice: "The emperor is a saint king that is rare in the ages, and all the ministers know it well. But the emperor is so sympathetic to his ministers. If the ministers cannot share the worries and problems for the emperor, what is the difference between them? Since this battle is related to the fate of the country, I am willing to lead the troops to sea in person..."
"etc!"
He didn't care that Xue Xian was the head of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Chen Shi, the Marquis of Linjiang who always followed Xue Xian's horse, said anxiously: "When Yongcheng Hou is in charge of the Governor's Office of the Central Army, how can he leave the center lightly? Emperor, I can, I am the best at attacking and annihilation! In Yulin Town, those naughty men saw my general flags and jumped around like wild roe deer. I took the thirteen cavalry generals and dared to sweep the grassland for three days and three nights! Emperor, when I go to the Qin vassal, I will ask the Western barbarians to come and go!"
After Chen Shi started, Zhang Wen, Marquis of Jingchuan, Ye Sheng, Marquis of Jingning, Zhang Quan, Marquis of Yongding, Yang Tong, Marquis of Wuxing, etc. all asked for the fight.
Jia Qiang laughed loudly and pointed to several important officials from the Military Affairs Office and said, "You are useless to say to me. Let's look at the faces of these people. Will you give you money? If you don't have military funds, what will you do to fight?"
Liu Chao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was not afraid of several tiger generals. After standing out, he bowed to Jia Qiang and asked: "Emperor, if the Qin vassal state is in need, can it be defended without the local army?"
After thinking about it, Jia Qiang nodded and said, "No big problem."
Liu Chao nodded and said, "I understand." Then he turned to look at the five princes and said, "I clearly told you that all the military funds have been delivered this year, and there is no more than one."
"Damn it!"
"Is this unreasonable?"
"Do you think we are going to travel around the mountains and rivers?"
"In the face of national crisis, how dare you speak so wildly as a trap?"
Liu Chao couldn't bear the aggressive momentum of these martial artists, but at this moment, not only did Jia Qiang fail to speak up for support, but even Lin Ruhai watched coldly.
Liu Chao naturally understood that this was a small consideration.
He suppressed the fluctuations in his heart and looked at Xue Xian and said in a deep voice: "If the country is in trouble, I will sell my money and plunder the money and send all the money to the battlefield. But it is not yet that time. Now the silver in the court is not split and used as two cents, but five cents. I don't need to mention the specific money. You are also important officials of the country, so I will not know. In short, before the national crisis, the Ministry of Revenue is unnecessary without a single cent of silver. But..."
As he said that, Liu Chao looked at Jia Qiang above.
Jia Qiang waved his hand and smiled, "Don't think about the gold that Liang Concubine brought back. I am really poor here. All of these golds must be invested in the royal money house and issuing bank notes."
Gold worth 20 million taels of silver can be issued at least 30 million taels of silver notes. It is not a problem to have ruthless snacks, and 40 million taels are not a problem.
Shipbuilding, gun making, cannon making, Delin Army, Royal Academy of Sciences, immigration...
It's just right to fill in it all.
But the effect of filling out will be extremely powerful!
"Okay, that's all for today. The ministers still need to talk to the officials more and communicate with each other, so that they can understand my hard work and what I am doing."
After the last sentence, Jia Qiang returned to the back hall. All the relatives in the harem and the princes arrived today, and they wanted to have a good Mid-Autumn Festival together...
