This year......

This year has indeed been a difficult year for everyone.

1625.

Originally, in this year in history, Lin Dan Khan had to attack Horqin to loot livestock because of famine, and wild boar skins had to go south to loot to solve the lack of food, and finally achieved the myth of Yuan Dudu at the beginning of next year.

It can be said that this is a year when the whole of Cyprus is hungry and crazy.

In this case, it is not impossible to say that the wild boar skin is really desperate.

In the end, North Korea really can't feed him.

In fact, North Korea itself is dependent on Jeolla, the largest grain-producing region, and the transportation of grain from Jeolla to Seoul is similar to that of the Ming Dynasty.

Naju is still in Lee's hands.

After the slaughter of Quanzhou, the population loss was very serious, although the wild boar skin moved there to part of the Jiannu, but it was difficult to recover in a short time, and in order to restore the army, he greatly expanded the Eight Banners of Korea and the Green Flag Army, the former has a total of more than 50,000 troops, more than the original Eight Banners Manchuria. These Eight Banners Army are all to feed, and at present, the population of North Korea and the slaves they have captured, and they are constantly being harassed by Mao Wenlong, they are really overwhelmed, and in the event of this kind of natural disaster, there is really no other choice but to take risks.

"If you have the guts, he'll come out!

Just let him come and go, it's a big deal that I will go to Liaodong to solve him personally.

As for the food, it is easy to manage.

After the cattle farm is thawed, I will ship at least 200,000 stone of rice to you as quickly as possible.

If there is no silver in the fried flowers, then continue to give him a loan, in short, the most important thing now is to stabilize him and Jin Taiji, Lin Dan Khan doesn't have to worry about it, as long as he doesn't make trouble to the east, it is Bu Shitu's job to the west.

Jin Taiji, don't let him seduce the people of wild boar skin anymore.

You have to make him understand.

His silver mine is so big, the more people he attracts, the more he will share his silver, not to mention that these people are all grass on the wall, before they took refuge in wild boar skin, and now the wild boar skin can't raise them to vote for him, isn't he afraid that there are too many of these people, and one day they collude with wild boar skin and give him a magpie's nest dove to occupy? Those who are not him after all, can he guarantee that those people have the same heart as him? Don't have an accident at that time, then it's too late to regret it, his current strength is enough to protect himself, why continue to raise these superfluous people?

Does he like to give money to others? ”

Yang Xin said.

Of course, the main thing is to prevent Jin Taiji from having ambitions or something, but the development of Yehebu has been very rapid in recent years, and the total population has exceeded 50,000, and more than 10,000 can be pulled.

If it continues to develop, it will be easy to give birth to ambitions.

What's more, many of the people he has lured over the years are at the level of the original tribal leader, these people originally rebelled with the wild boar skin, and then there are those who are ambitious, fooling him into learning the wild boar skin, and it will be troublesome at that time. In the final analysis, Ye Hebu was not honest back then, but in the face of the threat of wild boar skins in Jintaiji's generation, he could only choose to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, but it would be a joke to say that Jin Taiji had any loyalty to the Ming Emperor.

Chen Yujie nodded.

It's also a must.

His silver refining in Kaiyuan has reached a bottleneck at present, and he has never been able to break through the limit of 400,000 taels.

The main thing is that there are not enough people.

And the key to not enough people is not enough food.

Although he opened up a large number of landland in the local area, but the cultivation of wasteland is to plant sweet potato sorghum, and at most to plant some corn, but the yield of corn is not comparable with the first two at all, and he has begun to grow potatoes in recent years, but the potato yield at this time is also very low.

In the end, it still has to be transported within the customs.

And Zhao led the Ministry of Education to have an establishment of 15,000 people, which was a completely demobilized army, and the mining in Jintaiji must have a certain delay in agricultural production, and he had to supply the fried flowers, and the smelting workers there, the supporting miners, and the coal digging for smelting, all got grain. In the end, at least 300,000 stone had to be shipped every year, and in fact, the silver they produced was not enough to buy grain, but more than half of these grains were in the name of military rations, and then the imperial court paid the price of grain and freight. Of course, those soldiers preferred to exchange grain for the livestock there for meat, but in any case, to maintain the stability of this triangular alliance of Ming Mengyehe, at least 300,000 stone of grain must be transported over every year.

This year, 300,000 stone is not enough, because a large-scale drought will sweep away the country.

A reduction in grain production is inevitable.

Mass livestock deaths are also inevitable.

Again, it is not possible to increase the number of people, because it is even more insufficient.

It is not easy for Yang Xin to transport grain to them, from the Liao River upstream, how can it be so simple to transport 300,000 stone of grain, a small boat that can reach Kaiyuan is less than 100 stones, and a hundred ships may not transport 10,000 stones at a time.

In fact, there are four hundred in total.

Yang Xin raised 400 so-called ships on the Liao River.

They can also go back and forth seven times a year, and 300,000 stone is already the limit.

In fact, Yang Xin didn't make much money in Liaodong, although he did take a lot of profits from Liaodong every year, but all of them were used to feed the shipping fleet.

There must be at least 2,000 shipwrights on 400 grain ships, and the wages of these shipwrights must ensure that they feed their families, and this is a transportation against the current, and there must be animal fiber pulling teams along the coast at any time, and a group of people must be raised to be responsible for the maintenance of the rivers along the route. Although the Liao River is navigable from Zhengjiatun down, it does not mean that there are no shoals obstructing the natural waterway, especially in such a drought era, fortunately, there is no need to consider safety, otherwise this route will have to be protected by the army.

And it's all silver.

What's more, he not only had to transport grain from Niuzhuang to Kaiyuan, but also had to transport these grains all the way from the south to the north, although he sold a stone of rice to Jintaiji for four taels of silver in Kaiyuan, but the vast majority of the profits were actually filled in the maintenance of this transportation line.

Of course, the role is huge.

These rice made a strong alliance between the tribes of Kaiyuan, Yehe, and Nekhalkha.

Both Wild Boar Skin and Lin Dan Khan are helpless against this alliance, after all, the core of this alliance is actually food, and Fried Flower and Jintaiji, who are short of food, must rely on Yang Xin, and what they lack is precisely food.

"One more thing......"

Chen Yujie wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do I want to do in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Yang Xin said it for him.

Chen Yujie nodded.

"I don't want to answer for the time being, because now even if I tell you why, it's hard for you to believe it, I just want to say that you wait and see, in fact, you don't have to wait too long, and soon you will know that everything I have done over the years has been of great use."

Yang Xin said.

It's useless for him to say anything now.

He said that from three years later, a devastating natural disaster would start in the northwest and wander throughout the Ming Dynasty for decades, destroying the country with a famine of thousands of miles in the red land?

No one will believe him except his own woman.

Besides, even if you believe him, will the gentry change for this?

In their opinion, the way of our Qing Dynasty is the simplest and most effective, just kill all the people who have no food, isn't it a natural disaster, and tens of millions of people will be solved, and then they will not die, their heads can be broken and blood can be shed, and the gentry's world cannot die. What about the rebellion of the common people, can't it be suppressed and can't be suppressed by borrowing troops to suppress the coquetters? As long as they can continue to maintain their singing and dancing standing on the bones of the tenant serfs, Ma Ge can become the Holy Lord Mingjun, and our Dayuan can make them never forget.

Chen Yujie didn't ask any more, he was actually just asking for those hometown friends.

His Chen family doesn't matter.

Anyway, no matter how much Yang Xin tosses, he won't treat him badly.

As for his friends from his hometown......

His friends in his hometown are already running out of patience.

Jiangyin Chi'an.

"Get out of the way, what do you want to do? Rebellion? ”

Yang Huan shouted a little inwardly.

Behind him was the old mansion, where a group of crying men, women, and children were being escorted out, and in the courtyard inside, there were full boxes, and on the dock outside, there were small boats that were being filled.

This is Li Yingsheng's house.

His ancestors are actually Semu people, generals stationed here during the Hu Yuan period, and later surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so they have been multiplied to this day, at least after more than two hundred years have passed, Li Yingsheng has not seen much of the appearance of his ancestors. On the contrary, the Li family is still the top Confucian family in Jiangyin, and there are countless books at home, I have to say that this is also very emotional, his grandfather is still a disciple of Wang Yangming!

On the sixth day after the case, the Li family was sealed by Yang Huan and others, including Li Yingsheng's uncles, and now they only learned that Li Yingsheng was convicted, and officially raided the house.

"Li Yingsheng murdered the monarch and plotted rebellion, and he has confessed and convicted, this official came to raid the house by order, don't mess around, it is a crime to attack Jinyiwei!"

Yang Huan continued to scold fiercely.

He was indeed very inward-looking.

Because at this time, outside the Li family, there was a whole battalion of regimental training, and even the chariots were arranged on both sides, behind the shield walls of the chariots, those soldiers carrying turtledoves treated each other coldly, and behind the shield wall, there was even a team of cavalry, and the saddle was full of short guns.

And on the opposite side are cannons.

Although the muzzles of the four small Qianjin Hongyi cannons were not aimed at them, they only turned their heads when they needed to.

This is Jiangyin regimental training, or Chang Jiejun.

"Yang Yanshi, let's just take a look and see if we don't break the law, right?"

He said to Xu Hongzu or Xu Xiake.

Indeed, people just look at it.

Dressed in European-style half-armor, with short spears and knives, there was a dense forest of spears, and the infantrymen who were also wearing European-style half-armor held spears neatly arranged in a phalanx, and on either side of the spear phalanx were musketeers with only cuirass on their bodies.

"I warn you, don't mess around, we're brocade guards."

Yang Huan said with little confidence.

"Ha, Jinyiwei!"

Xu Xiake said disdainfully.

At the same time, the spear phalanx behind him suddenly erupted into a neat roar, and then all the spears pressed down in a neat motion, and countless spear blades were cold under the warm winter sun......
