"We're going to fight! We're going to join the army! We're going to war......"

The roar of the sea had already crossed the tall walls of the Laoshan Palace and reached the ears of Emperor Zhu, who was listening to Hao Shaoqi, the head of the lecture hall, and Feng Sizhong, the commander of the Young Guards, in the Huangji Palace.

Zhu Cihong stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, follow me to have a look." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the Imperial Palace quickly. Hao Shaoqi, Feng Sizhong, and Pan Shuchen, the eunuch of Dongchang, who was in charge of the guards of the Laoshan Palace, and Zhang Chaoyong, the son of the British Duke of the foreman, as well as some guards and eunuchs, all followed Emperor Zhu with weapons.

The Imperial Gate has been closed, and the imperial guards guarding the gate and the guards of the East Factory (Zhu Cihong's safety is the responsibility of the Imperial Guards and the guards of the East Factory) are all like facing the enemy, and they all go up to the city gate tower with flintlock pistols.

Outside the city gate tower, at this time, there was a sea of people, filling the entire square outside the Huangji Gate, and the number of people was tens of thousands! Everyone is in a narrow-sleeved uniform, it should be a military cadet and an ordinary school student from Pukou and Laoshan, and there are some "scumbag knights", and maybe some children of the northerners who came from the east of Nanjing.

These people are here to petition, or rather, to ask for war!

They all looked at the upcoming Battle of Anton, and wanted to follow them to make meritorious contributions and get land vouchers.

"Your Majesty, there is also a bit of a fluctuation in the camp of the Young Army, everyone is eager to fight, and the minister has already ordered it to be suppressed...... Calm has now returned. Feng Sizhong, who followed Emperor Zhu's side, reported the situation of the group of nine-sided youth army under his jurisdiction, which seemed to be a little better than the military academy managed by Hao Shaoqi.

Most of the non-commissioned officers and students who teach martial arts are N generations, who are already bold, and now they are studying in military schools, and they have been raised by Emperor Zhu as a big bad wolf since they were children, stimulating their ferocity and maintaining their fighting spirit, and now they are a little difficult to control.

The young men of the nine sides were poor and helpless, and they were detained in the military camp while training and receiving education, all of them took the military camp as their home, with Emperor Zhu as their father, and their obedience was much stronger than that of the military academy non-commissioned officers.

However, Zhu Cihong also knew that this group of young soldiers was really more murderous...... No matter how noisy the aristocratic non-commissioned officers are, they are also the successors of feudalism, and they have their share in the Ming Dynasty, and they can still smash their own country?

"It looks a bit like a revolution...... Emperor Zhu suddenly whispered to himself.

"Your Majesty, do you mean...... Revolution? Hao Shaoqi didn't understand what this word meant, so he asked.

"The Tangwu Revolution conforms to the heavens and responds to the people...... It is "Yi. Leather. Words in the Speech. Feng Sizhong has read a lot of books, and he immediately told the source of the "revolution".

Hao Shaoqi also understood now, he could be the head of the martial arts hall, so he was naturally forced by Li Yan to make up many classes, and now he is also half a cultural person.

"Your Majesty, they, they didn't mean that......"

Zhu Cihong smiled: "I know, I know...... I know they're loyalists! They're eager to fight, and that's good! ”

Now Emperor Zhu has enough resources to distribute, whether it is a non-commissioned officer of the N generation or a bitter nine-sided boy, or a child of the righteous people, they can all benefit from him, of course, they will not make a revolution - these people are still members of Zhu Ming's ruling group.

As long as the New World can continue to absorb the surplus personnel among them, the Great Tomorrow should be able to rely on their force to maintain stability.

Thinking of this, Emperor Zhu finally let out a sigh and said to the left and right: "Passing on my will, the third-year non-commissioned officers and students are allowed to graduate early, and the second-year non-commissioned officers and students are allowed to join the army with the rank of temporary captain and be incorporated into the regiments of the Nine-sided Youth Army.

In addition, 15,000 places for the righteous people of the northers in Nanjing and Pukou to serve in the army for the brave and brave.

In addition, all athletes who bring their own good horses and muskets to serve in the army are awarded the rank of temporary captain and allowed to enlist in the army! ”

Someone wants to follow the war, of course Emperor Zhu can't do it...... Anyway, there are 150 million taels of land coupons that can be issued, and I am not afraid that I will not be able to pay military salaries.

As Zhu Cihong's edict was loudly conveyed by the edict officials to the young people in the square shouting for war, the voice of the mountain shouting long live replaced the original hustle and bustle, and the square outside the Huangji Gate boiled again.

......

"Land...... Ticket? What does this mean? ”

Kunming, Wuhua Palace, Li Guo, who had just arrived in Kunming, got the information that the Ming Dynasty had issued land coupons again in early June of the tenth year of the reign of the Communist Party of China - this is not a secret, everything that has to be listed and traded, how can it be kept secret?

Moreover, in order to support the economic development of Wuhan Prefecture, Zhu Cihong did not impose a strict economic blockade on Sichuan under the rule of Dashun. Instead, merchant ships from Sichuan were allowed to go to Hankow to trade after being inspected at Padangguan and paying customs duties. Therefore, every year, hundreds of wooden boats from the Sichuan River are loaded with lacquerware, Qingcheng tea, porcelain bamboo weaving, Shu embroidery, silverware, pepper, silk carpet and other products produced in Sichuan to Hankou.

Now Dashun's industry and commerce are mainly government-run, and private small businessmen cannot leave the province to trade without authorization - Dashun is a feudal country, so Dashun's official and later state-run are not the same concept. The biggest difference between the two is that most of the craftsmen in the Dashun government-run handicraft industry are unpaid craftsmen, that is, small handicraftsmen who perform labor. If there were no private handicrafts to provide the craftsmen, then the state-run handicraft industry would not be able to operate.

Because the industrialists and merchants of Dashun could not leave the government without permission, those who "went abroad" to trade in Hankou were all "royal merchants" sent by the Dashun industrial government and the household government, and of course they were also responsible for collecting intelligence about the Ming Dynasty.

Gu Junen, the secretary of the industrial government who was also in charge of intelligence gathering, hurriedly explained to Li Guo: "Emperor, the emperor of the Zhu family has converted the land outside the customs that he has not yet obtained into 50 million mu, and has converted 150 million taels of land coupons at the price of 3 taels of silver per mu of land, which is used to pay for military salaries. ”

"Then the Ming Dynasty has no money...... Li Guo nodded, "But the idea of this land coupon is still not bad, draw a big pie to show the people below, and the people below them believe this?" ”

"It should ...... You should believe it, right? Gu Junen said, "Outside the customs is so big, there must be 50 million mu." Moreover, Emperor Zhu discounted 100 million mu of land in the Central Plains last time and issued land coupons, which seemed to be mostly cashed, and only a part of the land coupons of the three northern towns were still traded in the market. ”

The land coupons issued in the last round were not one, but were divided into 21 according to the location of the land and the quality of the land, namely three types of upper, middle and lower Shanxi, three upper, middle and lower Hebei, three upper, middle and lower Henan, three upper, middle and lower Shandong, three upper, middle and lower Shuofang, three upper, middle and lower Anbei, and three upper, middle and lower Beiping. Those who want to invest in the northern farms can buy the corresponding land vouchers through the salt and maritime banks in Nanjing, Shanghai, and Wuhan, while those who are allocated to the land vouchers and do not want to cultivate can sell the land vouchers for money.

In order to effectively develop the land in the north as soon as possible, the 21 land vouchers are all time-limited, and the land vouchers in the four inner provinces have a short term, and now they are almost about to expire, so they are basically redeemed into land. The land vouchers in the other three towns have a long renewal period, so there are still many of them traded in the market.

"This time the land voucher is different," said Sun Kewang, the king of Qin, one of the eight kings of the council, with a smile, "This is the way for Yin to eat grain, as long as the grain can be supplied...... Emperor, you can also do this, and also issue some land coupons, so that the brothers below have a hope. ”

"King Qin, are you asking them to learn from Emperor Zhu Yin to eat grain?" Li Guo always felt a little bad, "What if this grain can't be supplied for a while?" ”

"Hey," Sun Kewang waved his hand, "Emperor, the three-year-old boy eats Lao Tzu to death, who is not a bunch of boys from the brothers below?" They all can't stand it, they are all looking at the land, their eyes are red, let's put some land coupons out, just to stimulate their courage, morale is up, and the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains is a big deal. ”
