It's finally time to send troops!

Xu Zhengjing breathed a sigh of relief, seventy thousand poor bare-egg warriors! All of them are crowded on the small island of Kyushu, not to mention that the royal court in Tokyo is afraid, even Xu Zhengzhi and Xu Zhengjing are also afraid! Who knows when they will come down and kill both of them.

However, after being relieved, Xu Zhengzheng's brows furrowed again: "Your Majesty, if the 70,000 army is to be drawn from Kyushu, a large amount of settlement fees are needed...... Because many samurai dragged their families with them, if they wanted to go out with peace of mind, they had to be given at least one year's salary as a settlement allowance. Even if it is issued according to 26 taels of silver, it will require a one-time expenditure of 1.82 million taels.

In addition, the soldiers also need to purchase a batch of equipment, flags and robes. This is another large amount of expenses, and it costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver......"

This is the three armies have not moved, and the bill will come first.

And the account reported by Xu Zhengjing is only a part!

Seventy thousand people had to cross the seas, and they had to settle down somewhere on the New World or the South Seas front, and they had to spend a lot of money.

Let's talk about the freight first, because the Ming navy has limited capacity, and their own transportation tasks are still very heavy, so there is no spare capacity to transport these Japanese samurai, so a large number of civilian ships must be hired. A samurai's "ticket" is at least more than 20 taels, and the "ticket" of 70,000 people is at least 1.5 million taels!

Then there is the settlement after arriving at the place, and it is easy to say that it is a good place to feed people, the climate is comfortable, there is no mess of diseases, there is plenty of food and drink, and wood for building houses is everywhere. However, the 60,000 people on the territory of the Western Festival Envoy Division must be well settled, otherwise half of them will die of illness...... So that's another big expense!

In addition to these Japanese samurai troops, Emperor Zhu also had to send other troops to the South Seas and the New World - that is, the work in the South Seas could not be done by the Japanese devils, otherwise after the work was done, the islands and peninsulas in the South Seas would not become Japanese colonies.

Therefore, while mobilizing the Japanese samurai army, Zhu Cihong also issued orders to send troops to the Annan Army, the Western Army, the Jinou Army and the Dongning Army.

Among them, Annan Guo will send 6,000 troops, including 2,000 from South Ruan and North Zheng, and 1,000 from the Mo family and the Wu family. The Western Army sent 5,000 troops, the Jinou Army sent 3,000 troops, and the Dongning Army provided water divisions.

Among these feudal states and feudal towns that received orders to send troops, only the Dongning Army was rich under Zheng Sen's operation, and there was no need for the Ming court to subsidize military expenses. The rest of the three parties, Annan, Xiyang, and Jinou, all need money from the Ming court.

In addition, there is also a Ryukyu country to be relocated. The Ryukyu Kingdom is actually a city-state based on trade, and it was entirely because the Ming Dynasty and Japan played a closed country.

Now that both tomorrow and Japan are open, there is no "way to make money" for the Ryukyu Kingdom. Moreover, the territory of the Ryukyu Islands is very important for the coastal defense of the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not appropriate to place the Ryukyu Kingdom there.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong thought twice and decided to move the country to Krabi and Phuket, where a new Ryukyu state was established, still taking the route of a trading city-state.

Although this Ryukyu is small, it is also a rather huge project to move the entire country out, and the cost must be indispensable, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely invest in it...... Of course, this investment will definitely be able to recover and make a profit in the future, but the initial investment is still very strong!

In addition to the above expenses, Daming also recently had to "increase his position" in the Gulf of the Americas - the embassy on the European side sent more accurate news, and the bankers in Amsterdam had provided a huge loan of at least 35 million guilders (equivalent to 10 million taels of silver) to the Kingdom of New Spain to support the Kingdom of New Spain's war preparations.

The Kingdom of New Spain, which had received a huge loan, began to recruit mercenaries in Germany, and also began to train new troops in the Kingdom of New Spain.

Even the Spanish old man has borrowed money and is ready to go to the Americas, can Emperor Zhu not follow up inside?

Now this stall in the Americas is burning money to grab the market, it depends on who has the ability to find money and the ability to burn money!

......

Zhu Cihuan, the king of Chongqing County, has been getting more and more arrogant recently, and among the older sons of Emperor Chongzhen, he has always been the most aggrieved existence.

His eldest brother is the Son of Heaven of Zhongxing Daming. The third brother is a generation of famous kings, the head of the nine sides. Although the fourth brother is the same as him, he is the first hegemon in the southern sky, and he is the master of his own Western army territory, and he also has money! These three mixed better than him, and he admitted it...... is an elder brother, and the current scenery is all hard work.

But what made him a little unbearable was that the sixth brother Zhu Ciwei was actually more beautiful than him, and it was not a little more beautiful!

First of all, he is the king of the county, and Zhu Cixiong's younger brother is actually a prince!

Zhu Ciwei was succeeded to the blessed king Zhu Yousong, and after Zhu Yousong was gone, he should be demoted to become the king of the county. However, Empress Wu Sanmei spoke for him, and on the grounds of commending him for being admitted to Taixue, she promoted him to a higher level and continued to be a prince......

Secondly, the prince Zhu Ciwei still has money!

Because the blessed king Zhu Yousong is a prince who can save money, and he has served as the great sect leader for a long time, managing the affairs of the clan for Zhu Cihong, so he has been taken care of by Zhu Cihong. First of all, I got a big house in the inner city of Nanjing, a prime location! Zhu Yousong was reluctant to live in it, so after demolishing it, he rebuilt the building and opened a lot of shops, all of which were rented out.

Later, I built a street in Shanghai, all of which were built, half of them were sold, and the rest of the properties were slowly rented!

Later, he bought a lot of land coupons at a low price, and originally wanted to exchange them for land in Luoyang, Henan (that was King Fu's hometown), but he didn't redeem it, and the land coupons were left to Zhu Cixiong. Zhu Cihong was still young at that time and couldn't dispose of it, so Zhu Cihong was the owner of the sale, and then used the money to build two streets and a wharf in Tianjin.

So Zhu Ciyang inherited not only a prince, but also dozens of buildings and a dock...... At the least, it's worth more than two million taels! And it appreciates every day, and collects rent every year! If you go to bed and sleep, you can get one or two thousand taels!

And Zhu Cihuan, the fifth prince, is bitter, with only 5,000 acres of thin fields and a house in the east city of Nanjing. 5,000 acres of land is not paddy fields, and the rent that can be collected every year is only 2,000 stone of flour...... Because he is not a hero of overcoming difficulties, he is not allowed to get a tax refund, so he only has 1,000 or hundreds of stones of flour in his hands - Zhu Cihong's "pay first and return later" can be pitiful, and there is really no room for manoeuvre!

All land, including land owned by Zhu Cihong, must be taxed, and those who meet the tax refund criteria can apply to the household department......

Therefore, Zhu Cihuan, the prince, can only live on 1,000 or hundreds of stones of flour. This income is actually quite a lot, and it is converted into a thousand or hundreds of taels of silver, which is enough to save a little money.

But Zhu Cihuan still has a little hobby, that is, women! His princess was found by Emperor Chongzhen, and she was the daughter of a noble family (not a noble family), and her appearance could only be said to be mediocre, and she could not be compared with the bright colors in the Queen's Palace. So he got a two-room concubine through the Kou family on Bankbank Street...... That's a lot of money!

Later, he had a bunch of children with his wives and concubines, and the family's expenses went up at once. If it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen, who looked at him pitifully and rewarded him every once in a while, he, the prince, would have been a debt long ago.

But Zhu Cihuan is unwilling!

He's quite a big prince, why can't he make a career?

The current Ming princes are not pig breeders, they have a little brain, and the princes who have a little capital in their hands are showing their powers. Zhu Cihuan felt that he was no worse than anyone else, but he had no chance, no capital, and he didn't like to study......

Fortunately, there is no endless road, and it will not be the road of a prince of Daming County. Just when Zhu Cihuan was a little desperate, the matter of subscribing to the shares of the United States made Zhu Cihuan see a bright road that could realize the value of his life.

Just after the birthday of Emperor Chongzhen, the excited Zhu Cihuan immediately asked Zhu Cizhao for the address of Yao Daqiao, a stock businessman, in Shanghai, and immediately went to Shanghai Tang, the central city of Ming capitalism, after the New Year, and found the same high-spirited boss Yao, and then started a business, began to succeed, and began to raise his eyebrows!
