When it comes to playing scoundrels, Wanli is not afraid of those old scoundrels.

Especially when it comes to making money, a fat guy is simply a professional level and can take shamelessness to the extreme.

A prepayment note directly transfers the tax revenue of Weihui Mansion this year into the inner government, which makes the palace expenditure this year even more than 30,000 taels.

I was so happy that I went back to the harem to play with the girl.

The Weihui Mansion can complete taxes at the end of the year, which is half a year earlier than that of ordinary state prefectures, and can be transferred directly to the capital.

It's very convenient to use!

But this made the Ministry of Revenue very angry.

After doing this, the Ministry of Revenue lost money. The key is that the Ministry of Revenue is short of silver, and the silver tax revenue of the four Henan governments is very important.

But they had no choice, and the taxes from the four governments were originally in the hands of Wanli.

They no longer dared to tamper with the transportation warehouse. If this continues, Wanli will probably be able to borrow Kaifeng Prefecture's income tax.

This kid is a little too cruel.

However, Guo Dan also began to fight back.

Wuqing Hou Mansion.

"Marty, we have been trapped."

When Chen Yinzhao saw Li Gao, he bowed his head and shouted.

"Actually?"

Li Gao said in a confused look: "What's the trick?"

Chen Yinzhao said: "I just received a letter from the canal transportation. If Yinuoya Bank announced that it would not purchase any grain and grass in one day, they had not received any grain and grass before."

Li Gao said in surprise: "What's going on?"

Before he finished speaking, Mo Ruoyou ran in in panic and said breathlessly: "Marty, uncle, have you read today's life newspaper?"

Chen Yinzhao and Li Gao looked at Mo Ruoyou in surprise again.

Mo Ruoyou said: "It turns out that Guo Dan had secretly ordered people to go to Huguang, Sichuan, and Guizhou to purchase grain and grass before His Majesty decided to send troops to Bozhou. All of them had purchased 50,000 stones of grain from the big Bozhou households."

It's really anyone in the world who doesn't have business?

On the one hand, Guo Dan sold arms to Bozhou, but on the other hand, he also bought grain and grass from Bozhou.

Only this battle has been full of weirdness from the beginning.

Both sides have me and I have you.

Li Gao said in surprise: "How do you know?"

Mo Ruoyou kept trembling with a newspaper, "He published it in the Life Daily. He had purchased 800,000 taels of food and grass and 200,000 taels of logistics in three places."

Li Gao snatched the Life News and read it for a long time. He stomped his feet hard and threw the Life News to the ground. "This big profiteer."

Chen Yinzhao hurriedly said, "Marty, we have purchased so much food and grass. While the price has not yet dropped, we have to sell it out quickly!"

"etc."

Li Gao said: "Maybe this is just Guo Dan's trick, and the purpose is to let us throw out food."

Chen Yinzhao said: "This should be impossible, because because Bozhou has already started fighting, if there is insufficient logistics and food, how dare they enter rashly? But I have sent someone to Sichuan to find out the news."

Having said that, he already felt something was wrong

.

Zhenyuan Prefecture, this place belongs to Guizhou, is the road from Huguang to Guizhou and Yunnan, which is a key transportation link. At this time, the military flag of Shenjiying had already fluttered in Zhenyuan Prefecture.

You should know that less than a month ago, the Bozhou army had occupied 18 fortresses in Huguang.

Yang Yinglong's strategy is very clear, which is to take the initiative, expand his defense circle, and use a small amount of troops to guard the key rush of Huguang, and then concentrate the main force to attack Chongqing and seize the granary.

He thought that with these fortresses, he could use a small amount of troops to resist the attack on Li Rusong's side. By taking Chongqing, he could endanger the entire Sichuan area. This was absolutely unacceptable to the Central Plains dynasty. At that time, the army along Huguang would naturally be transferred to save Sichuan.

But the result was that Li Rusong led an army of 30,000, and pushed them all the way, and counterattacked in Guizhou in one fell swoop. Zhenyuan Prefecture was going to go there again, but it was the Bozhou area, and it also opened up the connection with Ye Mengxiong.

Faced with the day and night artillery of the Ming army's artillery, the fortresses were simply graves. Although the cannon could not kill a few people, the hit rate was very touching, but the key was the long range and loud noise. During the day and night bombing, the Bozhou defenders could not fall asleep.

Although all the defenders of Bozhou are strong, they have always fought against cold weapons. Although they have seen firearms, they are all very small. The first time they have encountered such a large-scale firearm team.

I didn't know how to fight for a while.

If you guard the fortress, you will be in a turtle in the jar. If you are rushing to the gate, you will be taught by rows of bird guns.

So, they decided to retreat.

Zhenyuan Mansion.

Bang bang bang bang!

Bang bang bang bang!

Gunshots were heard one after another in the open space, some people were measuring their heights, some new recruits were training to use bird guns, and many new recruits were queuing up to receive the military uniforms of Shenji Camp.

"General Li, this battle is really impossible to fight."

As the deputy general, Ma Gui looked at the batches of recruits and shook his head and said to Li Rusong: "The more we fight, the stronger we fight, but the weaker the enemy fights."

Li Rusong said happily: "This is what Guo Dan said, productivity will determine the war."

The biggest advantage of firearms is not how powerful it is, but how fast it is to be equipped. As long as productivity can keep up, it can quickly equip a huge army. Of course, as long as Wei Hui Mansion is cut off, this army will immediately lose its combat effectiveness.

Therefore, Wanli is very relieved about this.

"But this also requires Yang Yinglong to cooperate with us." Ma Gui smiled and said, "If Yang Yinglong's army had not burned, killed, looted and enslaved the local people in this generation, these people would not have joined us so actively."

Li Rusong sighed: "This is all Guo Danming! He can always meet such an opponent, and this time he makes a lot of money."

While talking, he looked at the large tents in the distance, and the size was almost as big as the military camp, and those were all workshops.

Since this expedition, the logistics team was all merchants and all the textile machines were carried. Wherever they were hit, the workshop would be built.

The Bozhou Army was burning, killing, looting and bringing devastating disasters to the local people and destroying many local chieftains by the way.

This is what Guo Dan wants to see the most.

Now that the Ming army arrived, it was immediately warmly welcomed by the local people. It was really a pot of food and a pot of slurry to welcome the king's army.

Not only did the Ming army soldiers look handsome, but they all abide by military discipline. Compared with the Bozhou army, it was a world of difference. Not only did they not steal their belongings, they also gave them some tents and daily necessities.

It was all because Guo Dan was already crazy to stimulate production, which led to the Ming army's supplies being too abundant, and some of them were given to some local people.

And steal their junk?

How is it possible.

Not only that, it also provides a large amount of employment to the local area.

Among them, medicine, tea and mulberry are the main ones, because these can be produced immediately.

It's really a one-stop service.

The war has not yet ended, and the local area is already very lively. Some local local specialties have been sold to the Central Plains through Yinuoya Store.

This is the charm of capital.

The surrounding officials could only look at it dryly, scolding Yang Yinglong for being a waste. We will help you like this, and even telling you the movements of the Ming army that you can beat you like this, but it’s really a pity.

Actually, it’s not because Yang Yinglong is wrong. It’s useless to tell him about such a thing. The problem is that he can’t beat artillery unless they also give Yang Yinglong thousands of artillery fire!

It’s not that those officials don’t want to give it to them, but they don’t have to give it to them.

They are now unable to protect themselves because they suddenly realized that they have been completely undermined and cannot control anything. It is up to the military and the supervisor of Yinuoya Bank to decide.

What's even more annoying is that Yinuoya Store issued a new household registration in front of them, which is really a murderous and heartbroken.

Bozhou, Yu Qing.

It was already the third day of the day, and more than a dozen people wearing black cloaks came to a mountain village on the hillside while the night was dark.

"Everyone, this is Chen Dou, the director of Bozhou of Yinuoyaxing."

A middle-aged man with a bearded face pointed at a thin young man beside him and said.

More than ten people sitting were angry when they listened.

"Bozhou Supervisor?"

One of the burly men said, "Your army has not yet entered Bozhou. I want to ask you, where is your Bozhou supervisor?"

This person's name is Yuan Shang, who is the chieftain of Bozhou. The rest of the people are also the chieftain of Bozhou, or the big landlord. The beard that introduced Chen Dou just now was Mao Shoujue, who was wanted by Yang Yinglong.

Chen Dou laughed and said, "This is only a matter of time. Do you have any different opinions on this?"

"you!"

Yuan Shang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

They didn't know whether the Ming army was strong or not, but the momentum was indeed very large. Thunder was shaking everywhere. Everyone knew that the Ming army was coming across several hills.

Mao Shoujue hurriedly said, "Everyone, please calm down. We are here to discuss cooperation today. Don't hurt the harmony for this title."
