In the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, as the internal contradictions moved outward, the territory of Dajin finally quieted down, and the area around Liaoyang Mansion became the default non-war zone of the Jin and Han sides.

The courage of the businessmen greatly surprised Yang Yingqi! Originally, he was worried that they would be so frightened by this war that they would not dare to go north! But I didn't know that although the Han Department did not win a complete victory in this war, the undefeated Liaokou made almost everyone in Dajin see the fact that the Jurchens could not defeat the Han Department! Can't even beat Liaonan!

That's right, Zhi Yanchong is still under house arrest by the Jurchens, but this incident gave the people of the Han Department another kind of blind courage: It turns out that there is no general, and it turns out that we can also hold the Han Department! Sometimes, it doesn't matter if it's so, it's what matters is that they believe it! Peng Pai's self-confidence was overflowing on the faces of most of the Han tribesmen, if they still had a little bit of a feeling of parasitic under the fence in the face of the Jurchens before this Jinhan War, then now they are completely gone!

"What are you afraid of! Big deal and fight again! ”

If Yang Yingqi heard this kind of words, he would definitely be shocked, because he knew that the financial situation of the Han Ministry could not be tossed again. But if the people are not at home, how can they know the difficulties of being in charge? So there are no such concerns of Yang Yingqi at all, what they have is just simple bravery and unlimited ambition! Especially those merchants from eastern Zhejiang, after they set up their base camp in Liaokou, which was considered the safest in the entire northern country, they rushed into Tokyo Road, Zhongjing Road and even Huining to do business with great fanfare! Most of these people can't even speak the Jurchen language, but it doesn't matter, there are many northerners waiting to make money as translators for them! And since the Han Ministry has had an economic impact in the northern country for nearly ten years, many Jurchens, Bohai, and Murwei all know a little Chinese, maybe not very well, but it is no problem to do business with gestures!

"How dare they!" Yang Yingqi was a little surprised.

"That's because they have a way out!" Chen Zhenghui said: "Southern Liaoning, Hanbu, is their retreat!" ”

Chen Zhenghui is right, businessmen are exactly like this: when there is peace, go out, and if there is a war, they will come back! They did business in the northern country, but most of the things they couldn't move were left in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Various products such as wood, medicinal materials, and ores in Daikin continued to flow to Liaokou, where they were briefly stopped and rough-processed, and then transported to Jinmen and Tanggu for sale or further processing. Outside the Han Dynasty, they had to suffer from the exploitation of the Huining regime, but this exploitation was still within their tolerance.

During this period, the displaced people who fled to southern Liaoning due to the deteriorating political situation of the Great Song Dynasty could no longer become Han peasants, because there was no new farmland to settle them in southern Liaoning. As a result, they could only work in Liaokou and Jinmen, or venture into Anpo and even Daxianbei Mountain and Changbai Mountain to log wood, or even stay in the Linhuangfu area to become hired farmers of those half-farming and half-pastoral estates. Of course, the brave and strong among them will be recruited by the Han military to go to the military villages.

The peaceful political environment, the explosive activity of merchants after the war, and the abundance of labor made the economy of southern Liaoning show signs of recovery in just a month or two, and even Wu Qimai benefited from this recovery - he found that after the armistice, the taxes paid by Tokyo Province were actually fifty or sixty percent more! However, these extra taxes were all divided up by the Jurchen nobles, and none of them fell into the hands of the people at the bottom, and the people at the bottom of the Jurchens were still so poor.

While the economy of southern Liaoning is recovering and Wu begging is making a lot of money, the finances of Jinmen are on the verge of bankruptcy! The cost of rebuilding the countryside in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula is twice as much as Yang expected! And the compensation for the small businessmen and peasants, as well as the workers and herdsmen affected by the war, is even more terrible! Of course, if Yang Yingqi was ruthless, he could also save this money, because war is an irresistible force that everyone has tacitly acquiesced into, and even if the Han Ministry does not make compensation, it is not easy for outsiders to say anything except for those who can't survive - in fact, other governments in this era do the same! If there is a problem with the finances, shouldn't it be transferred to the people? What do you do with so much!

However, the Jinmen government did not do so, and Yang Yingqi finally compensated the affected people as promised before the war. However, due to the lack of money, the Jinmen government was unable to compensate in full, but partially compensated in the order of first poor and then rich: full or even excessive remedies were provided to the poorest; Partial compensation for those who can still be maintained; Delinquency is declared to the wealthy. At the same time as the compensation, he also announced the difficulties of the Han government, and Yang Yingqi personally went to the north of the peninsula to apologize, indicating that the Han government really does not have enough money to make full compensation to everyone, please understand.

This attitude of the seventh general surprised some of the people who had just joined the Han Ministry, and they did not understand why he apologized. Isn't it natural for governments to plunder their citizens? This battle is not for the Han Department to fight, everyone deserves to be robbed! Why do you need to compensate? Not only did there be compensation, but Yang Yingqi, as the leader of the government, actually came forward to apologize -- this is really strange. However, as a result, the people's hearts have become more cohesive in the direction of Jinmen, and some wealthy businessmen with conscience or ambition have even publicly announced that they will give up the compensation arrears of Jinmen.

However, even this still failed to help Yang Yingqi completely solve the current financial problems.

"Oh my God!" After Yang Yingqi sent Zhang Hao away, he screamed to the sky! "How can I fill this hole!"

Zhang Hao, who is in charge of the reconstruction and pacification of the north, can come to Yang Yingqi to cry, but who can Yang Yingqi go to cry to? Orihiko Chong? His eldest brother is not here now!

"Seven Generals." Chen Zhenghui said: "It's better to postpone the reconstruction work first, and ...... military spending."

"No way!" Yang Yingqi said: "Reconstruction cannot be delayed, and there is also military spending, not only can not be reduced, but also increased!" ”

Chen Zhenghui frowned, the military expenditure is also counted, after all, the military strength is the capital of the Han Ministry for self-protection, and it cannot be invested, but the reconstruction work, he thinks that the cost is too great: "Seventh General, I don't mean to ignore it, but to maintain it first according to the minimum investment, and then add it when we have money in the future." Now according to your plan...... It's too expensive! ”

According to Yang Yingqi's plan, the countryside in the central and northern parts of the peninsula will really be rebuilt, but I am afraid that it will be more regular and more impressive than before the war - this reconstruction is not only to restore production, but also to establish a few towns on the northern front that can resist cavalry! However, the cost can be imagined.

Regarding Chen Zhenghui's suggestion, Yang Yingqi shook his head without thinking about it and said: "For the transformation of this area, now is a rare opportunity, because the place is blank and the people's hearts are available!" If we miss this opportunity, we will probably have to pay twice the cost in the future. ”

"But General Seven, we don't have any money now!" Chen Zhenghui almost said with a sad face: "Now our inventory has nothing but that large pile of grain!" Or sell the grain? ”

"No way!" Yang Yingqi said: "Food is fundamental! Base! Nowadays, the price of grain in the East China Sea is not high, and selling a little bit will not solve the problem, if it is sold in large quantities, the price of grain in the entire East China Sea will have to fall sharply, although it can temporarily solve the immediate problem, but in the long run, we will lose money! It's not a good deal. Besides, an unprecedented war is coming, and everything else can be missing at that time, and this is what cannot be missing! ”

"This can't be done, that's not ......" Chen Zhenghui was also a little dissatisfied: "Seven generals! You can't have no money and want to spend it! ”

Yang Yingqi scratched his scalp vigorously: "I know!" That's why I have to find a way! Think about it! Think about it! You want to too! ”

"This ...... The clever daughter-in-law is difficult to cook without rice, what can I do! Huh......"

Yang Yingqi heard him sigh and hurriedly asked, "What?" Got an idea? ”

"This ...... Seven Generals. Chen Zhenghui said cautiously: "I heard...... You're rich. ”

"Nonsense!" Yang Yingqi said angrily: "I have money!" What money do I have! If I have money, I don't have to worry about it here! ”

"This ...... I'm not talking about public money. Chen Zhenghui said: "I heard...... I heard that General Seven, your private money seems to be a lot, right? People say you're rich. ”

Yang Yingqi's face changed: "People? Which family is talking nonsense there! I spank him! ”

"This ...... That's what everybody says! Chen Zhenghui said: "Actually, it's not a bad thing that you have money, you make all the money above board, and there is no corruption and bribery, no one says about you." ”

Yang Yingqi has shares in many big businesses, who doesn't know this Jinmen! But the citizens didn't blame him for this, because Yang Yingqi's slogan has always been: If you have money, everyone earns! He has always liked Guan Zhong, and thinks that there is nothing wrong with the country being rich and he being rich. Now that the Han Department is on the rise, everyone is quite satisfied with Yang Yingqi's slogan.

But having money is one thing, revealing wealth is another, at this time after listening to Chen Zhenghui's words, Yang Yingqi immediately shook his head and said: "My little money is just enough for me to spend, not as much as you said." ”

"Hey, Seventh General......" Chen Zhenghui said in a low voice: "Now is a special period, Seventh General, you can't give full play to the spirit of the Grand Duke...... Take some out to make up for the hole in the treasury? ”

Yang Yingqi looked at Chen Zhenghui very seriously and seriously, and said, "This is a very bad proposal, do you know why?" ”

"This ......" Chen Zhenghui complained in his heart, it was really not easy to pick the money in your pocket, but his face was correct, and he arched his hands and said solemnly: "Please teach the seven generals!" ”

Yang Yingqi's expression was awe-inspiring and said: "Public is public, private is private!" This must be clearly distinguished! If I can use my private money to fill the hole in the treasury today, can I also find an excuse to use the money from the treasury to fill the hole in my private pocket tomorrow? This head can't be opened! Absolutely can't be opened! ”

Chen Zhenghui thought to himself, why does this sound a little awkward? But he still said, "Yes, yes, yes!" However, if you borrow a little, I don't know if it's okay? After all, as long as we get through this period, we will have money. ”

"Borrow?" Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and said: "Good idea! Good idea! ”

Chen Zhenghui was overjoyed, but listened to Yang Yingqi say: "However, my little private money is too small, even if it is poured out, it is useless." ”

Chen Zhenghui almost collapsed when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "So, General Seven, what do you say you should do?" ”

"Of course it's borrowing from someone else!" Yang Yingqi said: "There are many rich people in Jinmen!" We have good credit, we will definitely be able to borrow a lot of money! ”

Chen Zhenghui thought about it, scolded secretly in his stomach, but with a smile on his face, he nodded: "What the seventh general said is very true!" Very much! ”
