If this battle is handed over to Li Rusong to fight, it will definitely be a big opening and a great deal. At present, the two sides are fighting the most enjoyable, that is, Jiang Huawan's battle. At that time, both sides invested a large number of elite troops and fought hard for several days before the two sides stopped.

But the commander was Fang Fengshi, an old man who had become a spirit. He had been studying how to rescue North Korea and deal with Japan for more than a year. Therefore, he was very calm when encountering any problems on the battlefield.

This is the case with the commander and the army. The Ming army was really on the battalion step by step, fighting very calmly. After fighting for a long time, it finally recovered Hanyang, and the Japanese army retreated by themselves.

In other words, this is even slower than Guo Dan expected.

Guo Dan imagined that two months would be enough to recover Hanyang, after all, North Korea is so big.

But everything has its pros and cons. Although the march is slow, the losses of the Ming army are also very small. At present, the war is almost 2,000 people, and the heavy losses are the battle of Jiang Huawan, which is more than 700 people. During this period, the Japanese army lost about 20,000 people, which is almost 10 to 1. Moreover, the casualties of the Japanese army are mainly concentrated in the encounter war, and the losses of both positions and wars are relatively small.

Because the Ming army had cannons, they never adopted a strong attack strategy.

It can be seen that the Ming army is still at ease. Fang Fengshi is very clear about this. The Ming army has not used all its strength yet, and the logistics supply has just begun. It has been ready-made food before, and the navy has not yet appeared.

In fact, when Fang Fengshi was studying this strategy, Japan was fighting across the sea, and the navy was actually very important.

However, there was no navy in the name of the Ming army, and the Ministry of War did not give him this option. Now the most powerful fleet on the sea belongs to the imperial and Shang combination, and its nature is relatively private. Whether it is affiliated to the Luwang Mansion or the Fengchi Group, it has not been clarified yet, and he cannot mobilize the navy.

If he could be transferred, he would have been transferred long ago.

The news from Guo Dan to him before was that there are not many ships that can be used in the Luwang Mansion, mainly responsible for logistics.

But in this situation, Fang Fengshi believed that the navy must be dispatched, otherwise the cost would be too high. The Japanese army was obviously going to shrink and gritted their teeth to consume internal strength with the Ming army to fight.

It has to be said that if the Japanese army adopted the retreat tactic, it would also cause great headaches for the Ming army.

So he quickly sent a message to the court, demanding the dispatch of a navy to block the connection between Tsushima Island and Busan.

But what Fang Fengshi didn't know was that the government and the people in the country were more calmer than him and were not in a hurry at all. Now it is still mid-year, and the court is already summarizing the economic development in the first half of the year.

Wuying Palace.

I saw the fat man Wanli and the six cabinet departments staring at the financial report on the screen, secretly looking at each other, as if asking each other whether it was true or false.

Their eyes have not yet reached the level of macro statistics. They only have a very vague impression of the national economic development and cannot be concretized. Economic prosperity can be seen with the naked eye, but they do not know how much prosperity it is.

Since there are only agricultural taxes and deed taxes now, and the agricultural taxes are still paid in the future, and it is not clear yet, but the deed taxes change every day, and the deed taxes can be counted.

"According to the deed tax situation in the first half of the year, the fastest economic growth was Henan Prefecture, Guide Prefecture, Nanzhili, Ningxia, Liaodong, Shanxi, Shandong, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and Huguang."

Guo Dan held a long stick and pointed to the financial report: "In just these ten regions, the deed tax in the first half of the year reached 4 million taels."

Gulu!

A muffled sound came from the ministers' throats at the same time.

This... the contracts in these ten regions have exceeded the silver tax revenue for the previous year in half a year.

What exactly were we doing before?

Xu Guo said in surprise: "How come there are so many?"

Guo Dan said: "This is mainly due to the new policy. These areas are the first areas to implement the new policy. Since the new policy encourages commercial development, the deed tax will naturally rise and rise."

Wanli smiled slightly, these are all my achievements.

As the Minister of Revenue, Li Sancai felt extremely confused, "But it wouldn't have increased so much, right?"

Guo Tan said: "This is also related to the Korean War."

Wang Jiaping frowned and said, "Isn't this war costing money? Why...!"

Regarding this issue, Wang Xijue and Xu Guo also asked Guo Dan about this last time, but Guo Dan just satirized them very generally because there was no data at that time, so Guo Dan could only talk casually.

Guo Dan said: "The current situation is that the temporary support for North Korea is not directly from the country, but from the grain purchased by Yinuo Grain Bank from overseas. The specific operation is that Yinuo Grain Bank purchases domestic silk, cotton cloth, agricultural tools, etc. through Yinuo Ya Bank, and then sells these manufacturing products to the South China Sea area for grain and then ships them to North Korea.

This has led to unprecedented prosperity in overseas trade. Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Liaodong and Ningxia are all deeply benefited from it. Although Ningxia is not by the sea, the war has stimulated our demand for leather, which has also generated a large amount of deed tax. The shipbuilding industry of Guangfengchi Group contributed 200,000 taels of deed tax to the country."

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

Shen Shixing couldn't help but wonder: "How many ships did Fengchi Group build?"

Guo Tan said: "The goal of building ships this year is 300."

"Three hundred ships?"

Li Sancai was a little confused.

The fat man smiled secretly. He really never saw the world. What is this for me, One Piece.

Guo Tanfeng said calmly: "At present, Fengchi Group is responsible for grain, and it is nothing to build 300 more ships."

Chen Younian asked, "But can this sea ship compare to the canal ship?"

Guo Dan said: "But we are not only responsible for grain, but also the grain of many grain merchants."

Li Sancai asked again: "Can you build three hundred sea ships?"

Guo Dan said slightly conservatively: "It should be possible, because we have established shipyards in Tianjin Wei, Liaodong, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and North Korea."

Regarding the shipbuilding industry, it is absolutely monopoly.

All shipyards belong to him, without exception, no one can be built except him.

"North Korea?"

Wang Xijue said in surprise.

Guo Dan nodded and said, "This is a temporary decision, mainly because North Korea has a large number of refugees, and their court is unable to resettle these refugees. Therefore, Fengchi Group can only recruit those refugees to build ports and build ships."

In fact, this is accumulating strength for Fengchi Group. Guo Dan had already made arrangements before and established large shipyards in Tianjin Wei, Liaodong, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, Shandong and Nanzhili. This year, except for Nanzhili Shipyard, the rest are already in operation.

To become One Piece, a large number of ships must be needed, but Guo Dan was not strong enough to be a military force. He was building according to current market demand. He monopolized the coastal trade of the Ming Dynasty. Now that the trade is unprecedentedly prosperous, it naturally requires enough ships to transport goods.

Fortunately, the shipbuilding technology in the Ming Dynasty was relatively developed and the tonnage was one of the best in the world.

Without technical restrictions, the materials are ready, so they will naturally be very fast to build.

Guo Dan continued: "At present, the imperial court has spent 1.5 million taels on food and grass. This one.5 million taels are paid to workshops of all sizes in China, which greatly stimulated my country's manufacturing industry and thus generated a large number of industrial and commercial workers. These industries and commerce also need to buy food and clothing, which promotes the prosperity of the market.

Among them, Henan, Guide and Nanzhili are all deeply benefited from it. The manufacturing industry in Nanzhili is four times that of last year, and Henan and Guide have also doubled. However, because the manufacturing industry of these two prefectures is relatively prosperous, the total value of the doubled is no less than that of Nanzhili."

These two prefectures are right next to Weihui Mansion. Of course, the building is close to the water and the moon is the first to be found. Weihui Mansion outsourced some low-end manufacturing industries to these two prefectures, and Nanzhili only started construction last year.

Four times larger sounds amazing, but that's because it was too bad before.

"Also, since the Grand Canyon is fully producing firearms, a large amount of coal and iron ore is needed, Shanxi's coal and iron mining industry has become very prosperous, contributing a large amount of contracts to Shanxi."

It turns out that after this battle, the court still made money.

They believed that after this war, Guo Dan must have made money. The court only made less money, but they did not expect that the court could make so much money.

How is this account calculated?

In fact, the Korean War was just a detonation point. In essence, the Ming Dynasty had this potential. It was just suppressed before. However, in response to this war, Guo Dan was no longer stubborn and transported it out with domestic food.

He adopted trade methods, and all the funds were spent on the country, and then used the produced goods to exchange for grain.

The rise of manufacturing has led to a large number of industrial and commercial classes, and the domestic market has become more prosperous, and all have flourished to the point where silk and porcelain production have been difficult to meet domestic demand.

This has led to the rise of the leather and wool industry, which has promoted the increase in trade with Mongolia, which has a large demand for iron, which has stimulated Shanxi's coal and iron mining industry and Guidefu iron manufacturing industry.

In other words, even if the war is over, manufacturing still has a lot of room for growth.

Wang Xijue said: "In this way, if this battle continues, isn't it...?"

Halfway through, he suddenly shut his mouth.

It's really inhumane to say this, but it seems that the more you beat me, it's better, well...!

Guo Dan coughed lightly and said, "When war promotes domestic economic prosperity, it is just a careless way to plant willows and willows, and none of us would have thought of it."

"That's right, who wants to fight?" Wanli nodded.

The ministers despised them.

Who are you hiding? You must have planned it long ago.

Guo Dan said again: "This war is not a good thing. If you continue to fight, the benefits will be very small and the expenditure will be very large."

This war has three main purposes: first, diplomacy! second, economy! third, politics!

The goal has been achieved at present. In terms of diplomacy, they have successfully intervened in North Korea and the Haixi Jurchens and gained a foothold in the Northeast.

The economic stimulus of manufacturing can be said to be a complete activation.

In terms of politics, the country's policies have begun to be external.

It's time to end the war.

Li Sancai suddenly said: "Have you missed a few prefectures?"

Guo Tan asked, "For example?"

Li Sancai said: "The four prefectures in Henan and Bozhou."

Guo Tan said with a blank expression: "The tax income in this regard is already determined to die, and there is no need to talk about it."

The tax revenue of Henan’s four prefectures is now a mystery. Guo Dan hasn’t said it for several years. Anyway, the contracted tax is a little bit a cent every year.

Now that Wei Hui Mansion taxes are too terrifying, it is already the highest secret of the imperial merchant combination, and they only know the specific number.

If you want to say this, the ministers will go crazy.

Now Wei Hui Mansion has only paid 200,000 taels to the court, and it also includes agricultural tax, but it is really a drop in the bucket for the total tax income of Wei Hui Mansion!

This year, Kaifeng Prefecture also had an unexpected surprise, becoming the state government with the fastest and most powerful growth in tax revenue in the country.

Li Sancai said: "But the tax revenue of all prefectures is rising, and it is unreasonable if Weihui Mansion does not increase."

Guo Tan smiled and said, "Sir, it's really reasonable! If the adults sell one acre of land at a price of one tael of silver today, and the land will rise to two taels next year, will you go to the buyer and ask him to make up for you one tael?"

Wanli nodded straight and said, "It's right. At present, the court wants to rebuild its own credibility, so it cannot be trustworthy!"

Speaking of this, he said again: "And don't forget that in recent years, I have spent a lot of money on saving the people, promoting benevolent government, and enriching the country and strengthening the army!"

The implication is that I have to fight Luzon, Bozhou, Doudongwu, and Ningxia. All of them are the money I paid. Where did this money come from? You didn’t think it was too much. I didn’t ask the treasury for money, and you even asked me for money. It’s really outrageous.
