Chapter 268: It's finally time to train the troops
Empress Dowager Jiang swore to heaven that she was not a money-loving person, but who made Tianjin so lively, an open sea, and it was more interesting than the New Year.
All kinds of merchants came, and when they stood on the seashore and saw that there were sails outside the port, and the goods were sold outside one by one.
Just looking at it makes people happy.
This is not a question of how much money is earned, but it shows that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous. Who does this country belong to? It's not his son Zhu Houxi's.
The more prosperous the son's country is, the happier the old lady is!
"Queen Mother, it depends on which aspect your old man asks."
Empress Dowager Jiang knew the virtue of this kid, and couldn't help but say: "You give the mourning family one by one, let's talk about the tariff first...... This is for His Majesty. ”
"Hmm!" Wang Yue said: "At present, the approved shipment of Tianjin Port is about 3.8 million taels, and if nothing else, it will soon exceed 5 million." At present, the customs tax rate is about 15 percent, which means that more than 700,000 taels will go into His Majesty's pocket...... However, customs operations also cost money, and there are many construction expenses and the cost of hiring personnel...... Let's put it this way, this year the customs can provide the national treasury with a net income of 500,000 taels. ”
"A lot, but a lot!"
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled and said: "Your Majesty is talking all day long, the treasury is empty, and nothing can be done." The mourning family also knows that it is difficult for him to be a family. Fortunately, with you, Xiao Fugui, you have a way to make money, just a port, it has helped a lot, and the household has an extra 10% of the annual income. ”
After the old queen mother sighed, she lowered her voice, "Xiao Fugui, you told the mourning family, is the tariff the lowest?" There are more in our hands than this, right? ”
Wang Yue was stunned, "Queen Mother, how did your old man guess?" ”
Empress Dowager Jiang laughed, "Your kid's routine mourning family has already been tasted." Tell the mourners, where do you make money? ”
"Queen Mother, in fact, I am quite honest, I am all for the sake of the big guy, you old man, look at it, so many goods are coming, there must be a warehouse to store it. And whether you are here to buy or to sell, you want to trade quickly and don't waste time...... Therefore, I arranged for someone to evaluate their goods, and then matched the transaction. Warehousing, identification, matchmaking...... After this set, I only collected less than 10 percent, which is really not as much as the tariff. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang snorted, "That's all? ”
"That...... There are also inns where merchants live, restaurants where they eat, and happy places to enjoy the scenery of Shangguo...... All in all, it's all for them. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang snorted: "It's a nice thing to say, but everything costs money, and it's a lot of money, what else did you kid arrange?" ”
"Also, there is nothing ...... It is to provide some convenience for trading, your old man thinks, can the silver taken by the Wa Kingdom be the same as the silver used in our Ming Dynasty? There are also Yi merchants, someone brought gold, which is definitely not good...... It must be exchanged according to the fineness, and the minister will do some hard work and collect some fire consumption! ”
Empress Dowager Jiang smiled angrily, "Is this hard-earned money?" If you think this money is hard, you let His Majesty collect it, you see if he is happy or not! ”
"Don't!" Wang Yue hurriedly waved his hand, "Your old man can raise your noble hand, this money is left in my hand, it is of great use!" ”
"What's the use?"
"It's about providing loans......"
The old queen mother smiled, "I have long known that your kid likes to do loans, tell me, what are you going to do?" ”
"Queen Mother, you see, some merchants don't have enough money, but they still want to buy more goods. Given their creditworthiness, we can give them loans, let them earn more, our merchants sell more, and by the way, we can also collect some hard-earned money......"
It's hard-earned money again!
You rabbit cub really dare to say, what kind of money have you earned so hard?
It is a mistake to say that you get something for nothing, but it is appropriate to say that you have taken it by skill.
"Queen Mother, this stone silver mountain is in the hands of your old man, we have a sufficient supply of silver, you old man think about it, how much more money can we make from this loan?"
Empress Dowager Jiang took a deep breath, she could be regarded as having seen through it, opening the sea trade is really a good business. For the imperial court, the relevant taxes can be earned, and at the same time, they can drive a large number of industries, and countless people have gained livelihoods.
Moreover, the opening of the sea in Tianjin has turned this piece into a living cornucopia...... By the way, Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly remembered, in fact, there are so many of them.
The real biggest benefit is the land of Tianjin!
Warehouses, restaurants, teahouses, markets...... What not to land.
And the biggest landlord in Tianjin at the moment is not Wang Yue, this kid!
He's really a good man!
After the old queen mother sighed, she couldn't help but say: "Xiao Fugui, although the mourning family is a woman's family, but also understands a truth, that is, behind the fire cooking oil, there must be an abyss, after Tianjin won the door, but what to do next, can it continue to be so prosperous, will there be any danger, you should talk to the mourning family?" ”
Wang Yue was worried about how to lead the conversation, but he didn't expect Jiang to take the initiative to mention it.
In fact, it is not surprising that the current Tianjin is prosperous and like cooking oil on fire.
The good ones are a bit unrealistic.
Who doesn't worry about the unexpected?
"Queen Mother, when we opened the sea in Tianjin, we first moved the interests of the southeast maritime merchants, who were intertwined, and had been operating at sea for many years, and they even colluded with foreign countries. robbed their business and cut off their financial routes, will it attract these people to tear their faces? ”
Although Empress Dowager Jiang is a woman, she is not stupid, she thought for a moment and spit out two words: "Wakou!" ”
"The Empress Dowager Mingjian, not long ago in Zhejiang, it was very strange, the minister even thought that someone wanted to coax the Son of Heaven to stop the city of the ship, so that the court lost an eye in the southeast, and without the city of the ship, the weaving bureau could not exist. If you can't get it right, the whole Jiangnan will be the world of those people. ”
Empress Dowager Jiang and Zhu Houxi, the things that these two care about the most, money is really second, if you want to say anything more important than money, it is naturally the dragon chair that fell from the sky.
Although Yang Tinghe is dead, a ghost named Yang Tinghe has been hovering over Daming.
The capital is the most powerful place of imperial power, there are factory guards, there are Beijing camps, there are six departments and nine secretaries, and there is a complete system of guarding the imperial power...... As long as Zhu Houxi dares to fight, the odds of winning are not small.
But once you leave the capital, things are completely different.
If it can set off a rebellion in Zhejiang, Tianjin may not be impossible!
"Xiao Fugui, after talking for most of the day, do you mean to strengthen the armament in Tianjin?"
Wang Yue nodded again and again, "The life of the Queen Mother, except for the Tianjin Water Division, the minister thinks that it is possible to transfer the Shenji Battalion to a part of Tianjin, or simply train a new army, a force that is completely loyal to His Majesty." Not only can they defend Tianjin, but they can also gallop to the nine sides, and no one will dare to covet the capital in the future. ”
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Jiang thought so.
"Okay, the mourning family has written down this matter, you go back and write a note, hand it to Your Majesty, and the mourning family will tell him."
Empress Dowager Chiang did not stay long in Tianjin before returning to the capital.
As for Wang Yue, how could he be willing to waste a God-given opportunity, and hurriedly handed over the plan that had been prepared a long time ago.
And this training strategy is really not what Wang Yue originally came up with, the real first writer is Wang Yangming!
When he was reorganizing the army in the capital, he mentioned to Wang Yue many times that the Beijing camp of the Ming Dynasty had accumulated heavy losses, and even if it was vigorously rectified, it could be relaxed a little, and within a few years, it would be completely revealed.
If we want to truly succeed in reorganizing the army, we must start from scratch.
But that's easier said than done.
Not to mention how much it costs to build a new army, just in what name, it's a headache, can't the soldiers and horses of the imperial court satisfy you?
If you want to train in the new army, is it possible to be Cao Cao?
Even with the relationship between Wang Yue and Zhu Houxi, he didn't care about it easily.
Fortunately, I finally waited for the opportunity, but I poked this thing up!
It depends on whether Zhu Houxi, this kid, has the qualifications of the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch?
"Queen Mother, the tariff I can collect in a year is only 500,000 taels, according to Xiao Fugui's estimate, the annual expenditure of the sailor is 450,000 taels, plus the Shenji Battalion, it will be more than 200,000 taels...... This, this business is losing money! Zhu Houxi grimaced.
Empress Dowager Jiang glared at her, "What loss?" Is this business? This is the life of our mother! If you are reluctant to pay, the mourning family will take the money from the inside, and when the time comes, this group of people will listen to the mourning family, but they will not listen to you! ”
