"Lin Da's shopkeeper, I recently heard that Liang Guogong implemented a new policy in various parts of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, and cleaned up a lot of scholars, I don't know if there is such a thing?"

After talking about the military and personal fortunes, there was a cordial and friendly atmosphere in my study. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info In this cordial and friendly atmosphere, suddenly Fan Wencheng seemed to ask such a sentence inadvertently.

Lin Wenbing, who was praising the dim sum and tea sets of Ningfu there, was suddenly asked by Fan Wencheng, which was a little unexpected. But when I saw Ning Wan, I was also staring at him with my eyes engrossed, and I couldn't help but turn a few times in my heart: "Why are these two traitors asking this?" Do you want to do something about this? ”

Actually, Lin Wenbing is a little worried. The two important ministers of the Qing State in front of them had no intention of obtaining intelligence information from Lin Wenbing, but they were not very optimistic about the prospects of the Qing State in their hearts, and they had to plan for their future in advance. Because they are either in charge of secrets, or participate in trade activities with Nanzhong, they have a better understanding of the strength gap between Nanzhong and the Qing State, and they have been involved in military affairs for many years, and they know the importance of the word strength in war.

In the final analysis, the purpose is actually to care about whether the new policy implemented by Li Shouhan will be implemented in the territory of the Qing Dynasty and whether the interests of these people will be hit once the peace between the Qing and the Ming Dynasty is successful and the troops from the north and the south are boycotted.

Lin Wenbing took a sip of tea, laughed and said, "It's true." However, dealing with these people is for your own wealth. ”

"For our money?" Fan Wenchao and Ning Wan and I have been old men in officialdom for many years, and they couldn't react for a while, so they couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly asked why.

"Both gentlemen are talented in the world, and naturally they are not those bookworms who can talk to each other. Let me ask Mr. Fan, when Huang Taiji was in power, why did he send troops into the customs many times to loot? Isn't it for money, food, materials, and population? If your country is rich in money, why should it be? If the food and salary are sufficient, why should there be a long-term confrontation with Hong Chengchou, Zu Dashou and others in western Liaoning? ”

Lin Wenbing had a sentence that Li Peiting told him back then, if the thieves in Liaodong had enough money and food to satisfy their desires, at least Nurhachi would not rebel and rebel, but would only be his emperor in Liaodong like the ancestor of Yang Yinglong in Banzhou.

"Both of them know that the battle of the army is ostensibly fought with soldiers and horses. In fact, it is the word money and food! If you have money, the soldiers will have military salaries, the armor on your body, the knives and guns in your hands, and the equipment you use as soon as you do it are all excellent! If you have food, you can be full of horses and horses, and your morale will be high. None of this can be done without money and food. Even Zhuge Liang, Sun Wu, and Wu Qi came here together, and they had no power to return to heaven. ”

After listening to Lin Wenbing's words, Fan Wencheng and I suddenly had the feeling of being empowered to see the sun. And so it was! Why are the Southern Yue Army and the Ming Army completely different? Why is the unit so powerful? The generals under the Prince Regent who participated in the Battle of Tower Hill were all apprehensive when they mentioned the Battle of Tower Hill. "Overhead, there are non-stop rockets flying by, artillery shells smashing at your head, and fire guns and earth-shattering thunder keep looking at you to greet you. Those barbarian soldiers with spurs, as if they couldn't be killed and killed, rushed upwards wave after wave! In the past, those Guan Ningjun who saw us fleeing from the wind were also like taking aphrodisiacs! ”

This is entirely based on a solid material foundation and strict military discipline!

Although he has never held an official position, he has also traveled through the state capitals in the north and south of the river by taking advantage of the convenience of business. If the calculations of the colleagues in Xia and Trumpet are good, as long as the new policy of the owner of our name can be implemented in all parts of the Jiangnan and Jiangbei for half a year, it will be able to see great results! ”

"Shopkeeper Lin, how effective will it be?" Ning Wan's voice trembled a little.

"In business, you talk business. If the money and grain taxes collected in Jiangnan and Jiangbei cannot exceed 10 million yuan when the summer grain is collected, the two of them can choose Lin's eyes! And that's not even counting import and export duties and so on! ”

The summer grain tax alone can exceed the scale of tens of millions of silver dollars, and as soon as these words came out of Lin Wenbing's mouth, Fan Wencheng was almost frightened and slipped out of his chair. It's not that he's cowardly. Because he has been in charge of secrets by Huang Taiji's side for many years, he knows very well what the effect of such a large sum of silver will bring. Because I understand, I am afraid. Otherwise, there would be no fearless man.

At that time, Lin Wenbing said that the figure could only be implemented by forty percent, but the military expenditure of four million yuan was also an astronomical amount for the Qing Dynasty. He Fan Wencheng didn't dare to think about how much weapons and materials would be purchased and how much food and salary would be provided with such a large sum of money.

"The imperial court, like the common people, has money in their hands, and they must buy all kinds of utensils and utensils. Now the north and the south are fighting each other, and hundreds of thousands of horses are facing each other on the front line of Henan, Shandong, and Huguang. How much does this cost? Not to mention anything else, the weather is going to be hot soon, just changing summer clothes for the front-line soldiers is a lot of silver! ”

Thousands of miles to the dragon, the knot is here! The two important ministers of the Qing Dynasty are both people who take one step and see six steps, and they are both good at listening to the wind and distinguishing colors. Hearing Lin Wenbing mention the word summer clothes, he immediately thought of red and blue flowers.

Sure enough, Lin Wenbing immediately mentioned the trade activities of red and blue flowers.

"Now that the north and the south are at war, the price is naturally not calculating. However, according to the statistics of the Ministry of Industry and Treasury Instructions compiled by He Shijin in the 43rd year of Wanli, the safflower is four taels of silver and a catty, and the madder is a penny of silver, all of which are calculated according to the silver of the Kuping foot. Time has changed, and now we might as well buy safflower at a price of 4 silver dollars per catty, and madder grass is also purchased at a price of 10 catties of silver dollars and a half. What do you think? ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and both saw the cyan glow of silver in each other's eyes.

(Don't think that the unkind author is indiscriminately pricing, the price of a pound of red and blue flowers and four silver dollars is based on the price of the Ministry of Industry and Treasury Instructions compiled by He Shijin in the 43rd year of Wanli, the price of buying red and blue flowers at that time was four taels of silver a catty, and madder grass was a pound of silver.) All the prices in this book are written after repeated verification, and some brain-dead episodes of using ingots as clods and selling stockings for billions of dollars in some brain-dead articles will not appear in this book. ）

"If it weren't for Chen Banda and Tashan and the rest of the people, they were ambitious, reckless, and engaged in armaments to offend the country, and they would not have fought between the north and the south, so that everyone would not have been able to get rich."

"Exactly! The so-called greatness and transformation are called sacred. Times have changed, peace and development are the mainstream of the times, and reckless use of military force is unpopular. If you want to be safe, you should cultivate the text, and everyone is the last word to make money with harmony! ”

"Master Fan is right. I don't know about the others, but what kind of life are the people from the two yellow flags sent to Shandong by your country now? The leader was a man named Tuha. At present, he is already the commander of the horse team under the command of my family, Master Li, and the rest of the people are all eating oil and wearing silk. The so-called strong soldiers have a foothold, and this statement is no longer suitable for the current world. Lin Wenbing's smile looks very cute under the light, but it has a strong hint and seduction. If his expression and demeanor were seen by the Jesuit priests in the South Hall of Xuanwumen, they would not hesitate to exclaim, "Demon! ”

It's a pity that the two important ministers of the Qing Dynasty both read the books of sages. For these strange forces from the West, the gods are naturally not sensitive. The demon's seductive words echoed in their minds: "Think about it, think about it, is it the good days of the daily infestation of artillery fire and gunsmoke begging for a living in the sword, or the days of north-south trade?" ”

Once a son of heaven and a courtier. As important ministers in front of Huang Taiji, Fan Ning and the others naturally feel a little declining in front of Dolgon. Listening to Lin Wenbing talk about the good times when the north and south were in trade, he suddenly sighed in his heart.

Now that there is such an opportunity in front of him, how can he not be tempted by the two of them?

"It's a pity that the two of us have limited ability in our hands, and we don't help the kingdom much. Otherwise, the two of us will definitely contribute to the kingdom. Now, the two of us send people to Dongjiang Mixiang at most to send some chicken, duck meat, vegetables and fruits. When there were soldiers and scoundrels who caused trouble in that area, they ordered people to punish them severely. ”

"You don't have to be too modest. Now that the power of the Qing kingdom is in your hands, you have to think about it. As long as you can show your attitude during the court deliberations, regardless of success or failure, you know what my lord is like, and his old man will be rewarded, and it will be a good reward. Otherwise, Lin didn't dare to say, at least, this red and blue flower agency, Lin can pat his chest here and say, just give it to the two of you! ”

The price code has been opened, and the price code is beyond the expectations of Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan.

"Naturally, the two of us will serve in this matter. As for the trade of red and blue flowers, the two of us were originally in charge of this matter when we were in Liaodong, and it is not unfamiliar. I don't dare to say more, 100,000 catties or 200,000 catties are still okay. ”

Ning Wan, I also patted my chest and offered my own price. The two of us each have a share of 100,000 or 200,000.

"The two adults are really loyal to the country! So he came in a hurry today, and did not carry a bill of exchange. It's better to use this way, so Lin borrowed pen and ink from Mr. Ning. Write a voucher and ask two people who have a safe life to go to Dongjiang Rice Lane to handle the delivery. Whether you want a silver dollar or a color of goods can be discussed. ”

"Ask for sex!"

The two cunning guys replied in unison.

Fan Wencheng Ning finished the abacus of the two of us very well, and it was very clear. Buy red and blue flowers from those Eight Banner Princes Beile Mongol Princes, and pay them with silver dollars, and they also have to go to Longsheng to purchase all kinds of necessary things. It is better to make an agreement with Longshengxing, denominated in silver dollars, and then use these silver dollars to purchase goods from Longshengxing, and use these goods to offset the price of goods for those princes and Baylors. In this way, one in and one out, they can earn two sums of money.

Lin Wenbing wrote two vouchers in Ning Wan's study, signed his name, stamped the name seal he carried with him, and drew his own identification flower on the voucher. After that, I handed the two documents to Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan.

"Two adults, please put it away. This is a share of 100,000 catties. If it is not enough, you can order the person in charge to greet you in advance. ”

Lin Wenbing used a voucher to exchange 200,000 catties of red and blue flowers and Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and me for foreign countries.

On the surface, Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I and the entire Liaodong anti-thief group have taken a big advantage.

Historically, the Nanming beggar and the embassy only brought 300,000 taels of silver silk. When Zuo Maodi, Chen Hongfan, and Ma Shaoyu went north to negotiate peace, they only brought 300,000 taels, many of which were silk. Therefore, the voucher in the hands of Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan is 400,000 silver dollars, which is really a huge amount of money in the current Qing Kingdom! With this silver, not only Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I can make a lot of money, but those Eight Banner Princes and Baylor generals and officials can also share a lot of profits. The shortage of materials that plagued the Qing army could also be alleviated.

But is that really the case?

Not to mention how much manpower it takes to collect and transport such a large number of red and blue flowers, it will invisibly weaken the war potential of the Qing army. The negative impact on the top of the Qing army alone was enormous.

Don't think it's ridiculous. In fact, there's more to it than that.

Since the separation of the Mao Xiong family, Ukraine has inherited a total of 130 SS-19 and 46 SS-24 missiles from the Mao Xiong family's strategic arsenal, and has a total of about 170 nuclear bomb silos in its territory, making it the world's third largest nuclear reserve country. The number of nuclear weapons ranks third in the world, after the United States and Russia.

However, under the pressure of the United States and other Western countries, on 23 May 1992, the foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus and the US Secretary of State signed a protocol in Lisbon, Portugal, under which all nuclear weapons of Ukraine, Kazakhstan, and Belarus will be destroyed within seven years, and Russia will become the only nuclear power in the CIS by then.

After declaring that it had passed alone, Ukraine said that it would eliminate its nuclear weapons in accordance with international treaties on nuclear arms reduction. On the issue of the destruction of strategic nuclear weapons in its territory, it is stated that these strategic nuclear weapons are the property of Ukraine, and if they are to be transferred or destroyed, all countries should provide certain guarantees, including the commitment of all nuclear states not to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine and to provide assistance to Ukraine in the effective use of dismantled nuclear weapons.

At the same time, all five rogue declared nuclear protection for Ukraine.

On 30 October 2001, the Ukrainian military destroyed the country's last ICBM silos, signaling Ukraine's emergence as a nuclear-free State. Not only have the nuclear weapons in their hands been destroyed, but hundreds of thousands of troops have also been reduced to almost the limit.

So, once there was a dispute with the eldest brother next to him, the son who succeeded immediately returned to the eldest brother's house. Many people sighed there that if Ermao still had so many silos and hundreds of thousands of troops at home, he shouldn't have gotten Crimea back to *** a dar. Now it is good that the descendants of Paul and Petliula will continue the unfinished business of their ancestors on the battlefield of their ancestors.

Having said that, the unkind author found that this kind of fool who disarms himself and pulls out his minions and wings is not only in the Ermao family, but also in my Heavenly Empire. You don't see, a certain leader who was furious on the Jiujiang embankment, in addition to creating a spectacular scene of tens of millions of workers being laid off, demanded patience from the army during his tenure of office, and constantly cut military spending. Weapons and equipment cannot be updated, and technology research and development is interrupted. The result? A few loud noises in Yugoslavia were the best reward that the bald eagle gave to this good cadre.

A single agreement destroyed the world's third nuclear power at the time. Therefore, it is absolutely not an accident that Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan and I became the help of the Nanyue Army for the purchase and sale agency contract of 200,000 silver dollars in their hands.

"Liang Guogong and his old man have given us so many benefits, and after the peace between the north and the south in the future, we have to thank him in front of his old man."

"Exactly! I wonder what his old man's plans will be at that time? If there is a place where I can find Fan Wencheng, I have to ask the shopkeeper Lin to just give orders. ”

Fan Wencheng vaguely revealed some of his small thoughts. If Li Shouhan has the idea of ascending the throne and becoming self-reliant in the future, he will help the Qing State.

"Exactly! At that time, if the old man has any commands, the two of us should do our best. But I don't know why at this time, his old man is so aggressive in implementing the new policy within the kingdom? ”

Lin Wenbing said: "The two of them have lived in Liaodong for a long time, so they naturally know why the two generations of Huang Taiji and Lao Han kept raising troops to fight, and why? In the final analysis, isn't it that the Ming trade system is very unreasonable, and you and I need all kinds of permissions to do business between you. And who are the defenders of this kind of license, aren't they the people that Liang Guogong wants to clean up? The former Huang Taiji negotiated peace, who are the people who oppose it, and who are the people who support it, presumably the two of them also know it. If Liang Guogong cleans them up in the future, I believe the two of them will also applaud. What's more, Liang Guogong dealt with all the heinous people, some people robbed other people's wives and daughters, Liang Guogong just returned the looted things to their owners, so heavenly justice and justice, what is there to worry about? ”

After listening to Lin Wenbing's words, Fan Wencheng, who was openly robbed of the concubine by Duoduo and was in Prince Yu's mansion, suddenly felt that justice was in me, and he hurriedly echoed and said: "What Lin Da's shopkeeper said is reasonable, those who rob other people's wives and daughters should indeed be cut with a thousand knives, but I don't know if Liaodong will be handled like this in the future?" As soon as the words came out, Fan Wencheng felt speechless. There are secrets circulating in the market, as if Liang Guogong himself has also done the trick of occupying other people's wives and daughters. Isn't talking like this scolding a thief in front of a monk?

Ning Wan I don't have the righteous indignation of Fan Wencheng who robbed his concubine, he said calmly: "Lin Da is in charge, although the person who overturns the case should be cut with a thousand cuts, but the person who reads should also be decent." This money and food system has been handed down from our ancestors, and it seems inappropriate to abolish all of them as the foundation of our lives. ”

Lin Wenbing looked at the performance of the two, and secretly despised it in his heart, the two bastards were full of their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, but he thought about it, if Fan Wencheng in front of him was really like his ancestors, he was a person who was worried about the world first, when would the lord be able to rule the world? Thinking of this, he smiled and said, "Both of them are very reasonable to worry, but they are also too worried. Let's talk about Master Fan first, I can guarantee this matter, and I will definitely be able to do what you want. As for Master Ning's affairs, I'll settle an account for you first. For example, I now earn ten silver dollars a month and pay no taxes, but then I have a new job, a hundred silver dollars, and I pay twenty taxes, and I have a new job, a thousand silver dollars, and I pay four hundred taxes. Mr. Ning, you say, which do you prefer to do? ”

Ning Jian hurriedly replied: "Of course, it is a thousand silver dollars, even if you pay the tax, there are still six hundred left." ”

Lin Wenbing smiled and said: "Since Master Ning can settle this account, then don't you have it, the more taxes you pay, the more you earn." Moreover, Li Gongzi does not require all industries to pay full taxes. ”

As soon as these words fell, the two well-educated people immediately stared at Lin Wenbing with red eyes, staring at Lin Wenbing like hungry wolves and asking, "Mr. Lin, how do you say this?" ”

Lin Wenbing said: "The eldest prince has been worried about the shortage of wheat recently, and the shortage of Liaodong specialties, so I have an idea, and if the war ends in the future, I can not charge the customs duties and value-added tax of wheat and red and blue flowers, and only charge the special product tax once." Wheat is bartered for grain, one pound of wheat is exchanged for six pounds of rice, and red and blue flowers are purchased by agents. As for the agent ... Saying this, Lin Wenbing pulled a long tone and said, "Then it depends on who is better quality and cheaper." ”

Ning Wan and I Fan Wencheng glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Boss Lin, we have had an old relationship for many years, and who else is more high-quality and inexpensive than us." Well, I assure you, no matter what others offer, we will be one percent lower than him. ”

Lin Wenbing saw that the two of them behaved like this, and the power of the secret money could really make the smartest people faint, and it seemed that they had to add more fire, so Lin Wenbing said: "Two adults, in fact, the price is easy to discuss, but the eldest prince has a worry and hopes that the two adults will help." ”

The two hurriedly said: "What worries do the eldest prince have, we are willing to share the worries of the eldest prince." Lin Wenbing saw that the heat was almost over, so he said: "Actually, it's nothing, the eldest prince hopes that the world is peaceful, but there are always people who are reckless." The meaning of the eldest prince is to hope that the two can persuade the prince of Dorgon to stop fighting and make a fortune together, what do you think? ”

Hearing this, the two hesitated slightly, but in the end, the red in their eyes replaced reason, and in the process of their own unknowing, they promised Lin Wenbing that no matter what the price, they would disarm the Liaodong armed group.

"Master Li is right, in today's world, harmony has long been a source of wealth. War, what war ?! ”
