Chapter 629 Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang
Newcastle.
"Xue Zhen."
Yang Xin said with emotion.
Of course he won't really wait for half a month, originally he put on a show and went to Xuzhou to force Lu Xiangsheng to take a stand, and of course he wouldn't understand the trick of Ming Xiu Plank Road and Dark Chen Cang.
He didn't really rely on those 15,000 men and horses when he entered Beijing.
He's got tens of thousands here!
Although many of the Yang family's dealers were transferred to the south to serve as backbones, they were all made up as they were transferred, and the firms everywhere were constantly recruiting, and they were all sent by one to fill the shortage of those who left. The latter is also to transfer the whole family to the south, anyway, there are good places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to settle them, and the transferred people are all to be officials, of course they are willing, and the fields left behind after they leave are given to the newcomers.
These people are equally faithful.
After all, the merchants everywhere recruited peasants who were truly destitute.
They suddenly got such a happy life, and their loyalty to the king of Zhennan was undoubted, coupled with the preaching of the old villagers, they quickly promoted to the fanatics of the king of Zhennan. In this way, there are 40,000 households in this reclamation area, and the Yang family has a full 50,000 households in the vast reclamation area from the south of the Luanhe River to Qingxian County in the north. They cultivated more than 600,000 acres of paddy fields and 200,000 acres of dry land with an average yield of rice per mu in a single season after guano plus guano, and there were also a large number of factories and fishing fleets, making everything from trawlers to battleships, tinplate cans to cannons, and even new textile machines such as the Jenny machine.
Fifty thousand!
50,000 households are undergoing regular militarization training.
It's not a piece of cake to pull out two armies casually, even the cavalry has it.
The reclamation area in Luannan is the cavalry.
The land there is vast and sparsely populated, and the entire modern Baigezhuang area is completely a wasteland, that is, after the Yang family dug an irrigation canal, the water was diverted from the Luanhe River to reclaim the paddy fields, and it was originally a grassland for cutting grass and frying salt.
It also happens to be a pasture.
In short, Yang Xin didn't need soldiers in the south at all, he had them in the north.
Walking in Xuzhou to attract attention, by the way, Lu Xiangsheng and his gang had trouble sleeping, and then went north in disguise, and he left quietly the next day after negotiating with Sun Yuanhua. As for the affairs of the Xuzhou front, just leave it to those generals to preside, and then continue to pretend that he is still in Pizhou, and he is still in the process of closing the door in order to maintain the image of loyal ministers. And he went directly north to Yizhou, from Yizhou through Qingzhou to continue north, and it took less than four days to reach his own nest in Xincheng.
And then......
Of course, I got those few tricks.
There is no need for any torture, these works are all local to the capital, which one dares to continue to be stubborn when he sees him?
Immediately confess who had bought them.
Xue Zhen's name was not too unexpected by Yang Xin.
In the end, this matter must be a eunuch.
The new policy of the Apocalypse has a limited impact on the southerners, not counting Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang does not produce salt, and the most gentry are affected by the payment of grain, but the purpose of the new policy of the Apocalypse is to feed the imperial camp, and the imperial camp is currently protecting the gentry of these two provinces from being poisoned by the king of Zhennan. Since you pay it like this, you can pay it, otherwise it will cost money to run a group practice, so at least everyone will pay it together, but if the imperial camp can't stop the king of Zhennan, it will not be as simple as the gentry paying the food as an errand.
And Min Yue doesn't care about this.
They just don't like the tax supervisors, they even put up with the tax supervisors, of course they don't care about this, in the final analysis, they don't care about these two jujubes, like those factory owners in Guangzhou who make money every day, will they care about paying that little bit of land endowment?
People are millions per minute, do they need to make a fuss about this hundred and ten taels of silver?
It's nothing more than a price increase!
Isn't there still a place to pass it on!
After all, the ghosts will pay for it.
That is, the Sichuan gentry reacted strongly, but the Sichuan gentry have never had a sense of existence in the imperial court, and their reaction can be ignored, and they usually only have the power to bear silently without the qualification to struggle and resist......
This was indeed the case in Sichuan at this time.
Only Beizhili and Shanxi, especially Beizhili, have the courage to resist, and these officials and businessmen at the core of the eunuch party are also the most affected by the new policy, they have reaped too many benefits with the nine thousand years old before, and now the good days are suddenly over, and they can't bear it immediately.
"It should be for the reform of the salt administration, His Majesty's new salt industry policy is similar to that of the king, except that the salt for grain when Taizu was restored, but the salt tax is heavier than that of the king.
Behind Xue Zhen were Western merchants, who had previously controlled the two major salt farms of Hedong and Changlu.
After the New Deal, grain was exchanged for salt, and the surplus grain in the north was transported by the king from the south plus our side, and we handed it over directly to Your Majesty, which is actually equivalent to Your Majesty's control of grain. It was difficult for the Jin merchants to get enough grain for salt, so in the end they bought grain from His Majesty in silver, and then used the grain to exchange for salt in the salt field, and then sold it to the people to collect money, but as long as His Majesty increased the price of the grain sold to them, most of the silver they earned was given to His Majesty.
And you have to pay taxes at the salt works.
Jin Shang naturally couldn't stand it.
It took them more than a hundred years to destroy Taizu's system, and now His Majesty's system is even more ruthless than Taizu. ”
Huang Zhen said.
Apocalypse is indeed a bit ruthless.
But if this set is really going to be played well, it will simply solve the financial constraints once and for all.
Salt taxes are up.
Control grain prices and squeeze out the profits of salt merchants.
The supply of bulk grain in the north can only be through 9,000 years old now, because Yang Xin's grain from the south is directly given to him every year.
This is Yang Xin's concession to the nine thousand years old, after all, the days when Mrs. Yang carried the noose in the capital made Tianqi's heart palpitate, during that time, His Majesty the Emperor was not afraid of the good brother of Jiangnan, he was afraid that this woman would be in a bad mood for a while and hide from her man to play with him for a while, after all, women sometimes can't be reasonable, and the price of food in the capital skyrocketed instantly.
And then all the mess popped out.
He didn't want to continue this kind of life, so the new way was to be a grain merchant at the age of 9,000, while Yang Xin was only a supplier, and it was transported to Beicang by sea and canal.
And then he will be nine thousand years old.
The nine thousand years old were then transported to the capital in batches, and transported to the grain stores that Yang Xin transferred to him, and the price was set according to the market situation.
Actually, there is no difference.
But this is also the only consolation that Apocalypse can get.
In order to exchange grain for salt, the Jin merchants either opened a business as in the past, but neither the Changlu Salt District nor the Hedong Salt District had enough land, so in the end they could only buy grain nearby. However, natural disasters in the north have been going on for many years, and it is difficult for the people to have enough surplus grain, especially for those big salt merchants, it is even more difficult to scrape together enough grain, and in the end they can only buy the southern grain controlled by the 9,000-year-old, and then the 9,000-year-old will fish again.
In two clicks, half of the profits of the salt industry can be received into his own hands, or in the hands of the apocalypse.
That's enough.
Moreover, this system has little impact on those who eat salt among the people, because small salt merchants, that is, those smugglers like Huangzhen in the past, can easily exchange salt for grain from the people......
The big salt merchant really can't.
Their scale is too large, even if they exchange grain, it is difficult to collect too much, 10,000 stone of grain is collected from the people and then collected and transported to the salt field, this is a big project, and a system is needed to support it. But for a peddler who takes a stone of grain to exchange for a stone of salt and then transports it back to his hometown to sell, all he needs is a donkey.
The final result is that those officials and businessmen who originally lay down to make money will not only have to face the double oppression of 9,000 years old, but also have to face direct competition from those who were originally petty salt dealers after legalization.
They will be eliminated.
Doubling the profits can make the petty salt dealers happy, but it can't make these officials and businessmen keep their clothes and food......
Do you still want a table of sheep?
Still want to repair the garden?
It's unbearable!
"In this case, a Xue Zhen doesn't have such a lot of energy."
Yang Xin said.
This required the support of a group.
From drugging the apocalypse, to killing people and killing people, to bribing officials at all levels, including Jin Yiwei, to investigating the case, and even persuading the nine thousand years old not to investigate deeply, this is really not something that Xue Zhen can do alone.
Nine thousand years old can find out.
But in the end, he didn't dig deeper.
Then there must be someone who is his true cronies interfering with him, and Xue Zhen is not good yet.
"Xue Zhen has frequent contacts, and there are only a few Feng Quan and Huo Weihua, Huo Weihua is also a salt merchant, and the Feng family is also selling salt in Changlu.
He is very favored by the nine thousand years old.
In addition, according to our reports in the palace, the first person Wu Zhiwang got after prescribing the medicine that day was not nine thousand years old, but Huo Weihua's brother-in-law Lu Xinchen, although he was asked to pass by nine thousand years old immediately, but this time was enough for him to write down the name of the medicine.
And after the nine thousand years old, Lu Xinchen also left the palace immediately.
He should have gone to inform the preparation of the dressing change.
And according to the report of the people on Wutai Mountain, even the medicine that the Hakka family gave to His Majesty was given to her by Xue Zhen. ”
Huang Zhen said.
In this way, Yang Xin can basically sort it out.
The Ke family Xianxian Fang collapsed Tianqi's body, and the falling into the water was an accident, but there was no falling into the water, and the apocalypse would be infected in the end, and then these guys took the opportunity to take the medicine, otherwise it would be difficult for them to have a chance, and Tianqi would not eat anything outside.
Apocalypse must be sick.
When he was sick, he had to take medicine.
As long as he takes medicine, it will be easy to do, and he will finally find a chance to start.
It's a complete routine.
"It seems that I'm not in the capital, I just can't suppress these ghosts!"
Zhennan Wang said with a cruel smile.
"Do you need to gather people?"
Huang Zhen asked.
"No, this little thing doesn't have to be so troublesome, this is the duty of Jinyiwei, of course, Jinyiwei has to do it, since we are loyal ministers, then we must have the appearance of loyal ministers."
Yang Xin said.
Loyal ministers must have the appearance of loyal ministers, with a private army into Beijing into what kind of system, the king of Zhennan is born in Jinyiwei, and he is still Jinyiwei, and he didn't even go to the title of the Northern Ya, since he is a Jinyiwei, and he has discovered this major conspiracy to kill the king, of course, he must be like a real Jinyiwei......
It's time to arrest someone again!
