This is what Wu Youcai cares about, Huai Wangfu has abundant financial resources! Although Huaiwangfu has always given people this impression, this is not only because Huaiwangfu controls Huai salt and controls salt profits, but more importantly, Huaiwangfu has mastered the yarn factory, sulfur glass factory and other factories to further enrich and expand financial resources.

At the same time, the expenses of the Huai Wangfu are also very large, such as raising troops and managing the government, which has always given Wu Youcai, who is a household official, a headache, especially after the preparation of the Northern Expedition materials and funds according to the order of the Huai Wang, the balance of the household and the Jianghuai Bank is getting smaller and smaller, so that he is considering whether he can issue bonds.

The issuance of bonds by banks has always been one of the financial means used by Jiangbei to supplement the lack of fiscal and tax revenues, but unless it is a last resort, Wu Youcai will never issue a large number of bonds, after all, this money is not very easy to borrow, in addition to mortgages, the interest is also very high.

Now that I heard that "I made a windfall", there was naturally some expectation in my voice.

When his words fell, Qian Lei stretched out a finger.

"A million taels?"

Tentatively inquiring, as soon as his words fell, Qian Lei slowly spit out four words.

"Ten million taels!"

"Ten million taels!"

His eyes widened in astonishment, Wu Youcai couldn't believe the numbers he heard.

"Are you sure there are 10 million taels? Could it be a mistake? ”

The answer, of course, was no, and it wasn't until after repeated confirmation that Wu Youcai sighed.

"My God, this, this thief is really too capable of looting people's wealth!"

"He is looting, it is simply slaughtered directly, let's drop 10 million, I estimate that the King of Jin will have to be full of 20 million, this is a fortune!"

After sighing, Qian Lei looked at the north again, and then said.

"If Li Ziyuan knocks down the Jingshi, I estimate that at least this number can be obtained from the hands of the Manchu magnates!"

Stretching out his hand, Qian Lei's eyes looked a little greedy.

"At least 50 million taels!"

Qian Lei never doubted this, after all, those Manchu magnates were far more greedy than ordinary corrupt officials, and they were even more oppressive to the Han people.

"Li Ziyuan is not the king of Jin, and it is impossible to fatten me up!"

In addition to Wu Youcai's pity, he even thought that if the Northern Expedition was made now and the Beijing Division was directly captured, when the time came, this war would not only not exhaust Jiangbei's money, but would definitely make Jiangbei make a windfall, just like when King Huai raided his house in Yangzhou.

"It's a pity ......"

It was a pity that this sound was heard in Qian Lei's ears, and he did not continue to talk to him, but revealed another news without the slightest wave.

"Oh, there is one more thing, a letter has come from the Wannian Mansion, and now the Holy Driver has been stationed in the Wannian Mansion!"

Now the Holy Driver has been stationed in the Ten Thousand Years Mansion!

A seemingly casual sentence made Wu Youcai stand up violently and said in astonishment.

"Standing for 10,000 years? Why don't you come to Qinghe? ”

Wu Youcai's face was full of doubts, he looked at Qian Lei puzzled, and his eyes were full of doubts.

The Holy Driver is stationed in the Ten Thousand Years Mansion!

This news surprised him even more than the 10 million taels, after all, how could the king of Huai at the beginning take the risk of breaking with Nanjing, and now instead of welcoming the holy car to Qinghe, he put it in the Wannian Mansion that had just established the county, although the place was no longer a wild place as in the past, and there were 100,000 people, it had already begun to prosper, but after all, it was a place outside the world.

"This, why don't you persuade my brother, this, it's not easy to welcome back the holy car, it's better to be in Qinghe."

Wu Youcai's "convenience" in the mouth, refers to the natural "coercion of the Son of Heaven to order not to be a minister" is more convenient, two years ago, he was a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, but now, he is a subordinate of the King of Huai, his position is very simple, that is, the interests of the lord must be followed, as for the Ming Dynasty, it is a retreat.

In fact, most of the officials in the Huai Wang's Mansion have found their position from the initial confusion of identity, their position is the Huai Wang's subordinate officials, the Huai King is their lord, and their allegiance is also the Huai Wang.

Of course, this kind of identity cognition goes a step further, they are all "not ministers" of the Ming Dynasty, if it were not for this, Wu Youcai would not have said such a thing, this is not a minister to the Ming Dynasty, but what is represented in the words is the interests of King Huai.

"That's what the king meant."

Qian Lei looked at Wu Youcai, his tone was still slow and without the slightest wave.

"In 10,000 years, there is room for advance and retreat, but now that the Holy Driver has returned to China and the Northern Expedition is in place, the situation in this world will definitely change greatly next year, brother, what kind of future will this be in the future?"

Such a question made Wu Youcai's whole person silent, he naturally knew what Qian Lei's words meant, but it was hard to say.

"As a vassal, we should naturally put the lord first."

In the end, Wu Youcai chose the safest words, in his opinion, this may be the safest answer, after all, he is still a courtier of the Ming Dynasty.

"We are ministers, so we naturally have to worry about the lord, and we want to think what the lord thinks!"

Qian Lei didn't continue to break it, but just said so, and then looked into the distance. There was a meaningful look in his eyes, as for what he was thinking, I am afraid that only he himself knew, and following his gaze, Wu Youcai naturally knew where he was looking, and that direction was the direction of the inner mansion.

"Ten million taels!"

The news brought by Zhu Daxian and Gu Yanwu made Zhu Mingzhong's heart jump suddenly, and then laughed loudly.

"This King of Jin is really generous enough, this shot is 10 million taels!"

Ten million taels!

This is equivalent to half a year's annual income of the country, and it was easily given to himself by Li Dingguo, and Zhu Ming may be a little difficult if he doesn't feel emotional.

"King, the King of Jin is so generous, isn't it because you treat him sincerely, and you are a helper, a helper, and a helper to take Guangzhou, he copied Shang Kexi's belongings, so he will naturally vote for Li."

Gu Yanwu said with a smile, Li Dingguo's generosity was really beyond his expectations, and now he seems to understand why the king admires him so much, just his intention to repay Li is not comparable to others.

"King Jin is generous, we can't be stingy, this Guangzhou City said to help him capture, and how can he share his spoils in vain, I remember that there are batches of spare guns in the arsenal, you can appropriately allocate some to him, don't let people think that we are petty, well, in addition to firecrackers, artillery grenades, there is not a batch of spears, armor, try to allocate the past, after he captures Guangzhou, he will definitely recruit troops in Guangdong for training, naturally need a large number of ordnance, since we have a surplus, we will send them more, but ......"

Because of the birth of his son, Zhu Mingzhong, who was in a very comfortable mood, turned pale and said in a deep voice.

"This batch of ordnance is not given to them for free, I want to exchange a few people with him, the people of the Shang family, we must not let it go, we can't let go of the people of the Shang family in vain because he is still happy to die!"

The reason why Shang Kexi is so "remembered" is that the reason is simple, just because the descendants of the Shang family are too shameless, three and a half centuries later, such a historical figure like Shang Kexi, who has treason and slaughtered the city, can actually build an elegant memorial hall in a grand manner, and his descendants tried their best to overturn the case for Shang Kexi, insisting on boasting that this demon who slaughtered hundreds of thousands or nearly one million people in Guangdong as a so-called "loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty who was framed for serving his life and choosing the master", and built a glorious memorial hall for him.

For such traitors, Zhu Mingzhong will naturally not let them get their way, and since they have come to this era, they will naturally be liquidated.

"Shang thieves descended to the Qing Dynasty all the way to slaughter the city to Guangzhou City, during which they killed my Han people only millions, people died and debts did not go away, killed people and set fire to the gold belt, repaired bridges and repaired roads without bones, this kind of thing will never be tolerated, Shang Kexi died, but the Shang family did not die, and the female dependents did not enter the school as prostitutes regardless of age, as for the men...... Enter the palace and be a slave. ”

Zhu Mingzhong, who was still thinking about the exile of men, said to his lips, and changed a disposition that is more in line with the characteristics of this era - entering the palace as a slave, entering the palace as a slave is not just for a eunuch, but for an official slave in the palace, and his status is one level lower than that of ordinary eunuchs, and it can be said that he has the lowest status in the palace.

The reason why I thought of this is because the palace of Wannian Mansion needs eunuchs to wait for the emperor, which is related to the "royal decency", although he doesn't like eunuchs, it doesn't mean that Zhu Mingzhong will reject them, especially when entering the palace as a slave is a punishment, he doesn't mind not making the children of traitors official slaves, or letting Joseon, Annam and other vassals pay tribute to eunuchs.

"That's very good, after all, the palace really needs the service of the inner officials."

Gu Yanwu and Zhu Daxian naturally did not object to this suggestion, after all, the tradition of the Ming Dynasty is like this, just like in the process of eliminating the Mengyuan forces in Yunnan at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Ying castrated 30,000 times at one time, and some of them were dedicated to the royal family as eunuchs, and the children of criminal officials were castrated into the palace or rewarded to the vassal kings.

"Since this is the case, then it will be decided, but I have to explain to King Jin that the reason why Lone wants to be a member of the Shang family is definitely not to deliberately meddle in the affairs of Guangdong, just to let the world remember, and the traitor will never end well!"

Deliberately emphasizing his intentions, Zhu Mingzhong then looked at the two of them and said.

"Now that the Holy Driver has returned to China, then the matter of the Northern Expedition is almost on the agenda, after all, ......"

When he looked towards the north, Zhu Mingzhong's tone became a little low, and he also looked eager to try.

"After all, this world is the world of my Han people, at least full of ......"

Zhu Mingzhong didn't say anything in the sneer, but just stared at the north with expectant eyes......
