Chapter 486: Enter Beijing

The government will also pay taxes from the original ten to seven, or even five or three.

The year was not good, and the government's actions naturally exacerbated the rate at which yeoman farmers went bankrupt and became displaced people.

Therefore, the army of the imperial court took care of one and lost the other, and the rogue was endless.

Huang Han came to the fields to brush up on the sense of existence is to let the farmers spread the word of mouth, these original homeless people are willing to take the risk to enter the "Red Flag Army" system, they have money and grain to receive every month, and they also enjoy the benefits brought by the harvest, and they are already satisfied.

Now it is also found that General Pingliao cares about them and respects them, and these people will of course follow the "Red Banner Army" with all their hearts, and they will all be seeds in the future, which will lead more peasants to join the army.

Huang Han finally came to Tiger's Den City, this time it was not to leave his post without permission at all, but to come to Funing with the approval of Liaodong by a little Gaodi to supervise the reclamation and focus on spring ploughing.

The Han dynasty all paid attention to agricultural affairs, and General Pingliao took the initiative to ask for half a month to personally command the peasants, of course, he would get support, and the emperor would also be praised, how could his own Gao Di not support it?

Therefore, Huang Han was able to receive the holy decree in Funingwei, and Huang Sifang's intelligence analysis had been sent to Huang Han three days in advance, and it was impossible to judge whether he would stay in Beijing as a free marquis, but it was certain that the emperor had no intention of dealing with him, and Huang Han could enter Beijing with peace of mind.

Hanzi was appointed as the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan, and Huang Han already knew that he had received a notice from Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi and galloped to Shanhaiguan to receive the order. Hanzi didn't care whether he could be the main commander of one side at all, but it was his turn to do good things.

He immediately rushed to Tiger's Den City and asked what to do in the future. Huang Han trusts Hanzi and doesn't worry about him playing solo with stiff wings at all.

Huang Han is a prophet, and when he came to the Ming Dynasty, he first strengthened himself, and never mentioned to his subordinates or even in front of his father, brothers, wives and concubines where he would go in the future.

When dealing with major and minor affairs, he also consistently adhered to the basic principle of serving the Ming Dynasty and fighting against the Jiannu and Tatar captives, and secretly swallowing money and grain for the development of the "Red Banner Army".

Han Zijun replied correctly that he could say one thing, as long as he didn't mention the sea power that the "Red Flag Army" had, he wouldn't get into trouble, Han Zikou was straightforward and didn't like to use his brains, and he hadn't fought a naval battle, so he really didn't know much about how strong the water camp had developed.

Huang Han didn't deliberately tell Hanzi how to answer correctly in front of the king, lest this honest man have concerns in his heart and can't deal with it calmly.

This is often the case, too deliberate will backfire, so that Chongzhen can see a frank and unrestrained man who can answer all questions is more conducive to the future layout.

The emperor wants to summon him, of course Huang Han will take the order to choose a day to enter Beijing, this is an ordinary summons, not an urgent summons, the summoned civil and military generals can arrange the work handover and then set off.

Huang Han acted vigorously and resolutely, and since he judged that there was no risk in the trip to Jingshi, he immediately began to arrange the affairs in the army.

On the third day, Huang Yong was sent to lead Huang Chunsheng, Shen Xianyi, Lin Minghai and other water camp generals to set off.

Huang Yong commanded 21 large warships with a displacement of more than 500 tons and 18 small warships and sentinel ships with a displacement of less than 100 tons.

The mission was to protect more than 150 merchant ships with a displacement of 300 to 500 tons led by Huang Kezao and Shao Juncai, who were among the three leaders of the "Sun and Moon Shipping", to Nagasaki for trade.

Yang Jian stayed in Tiger's Den City to contact the business of "Sun Moon Shipping", and this year, the trading, hiring, and leasing of merchant ships has been booming, and the benefits have of course been rising.

Now the shipyard and the "Sun and Moon Shipping" are accounted for separately, and if a merchant ship is delivered, the shipyard in charge of Wang Yuqi will also add 20% of the gross profit.

Yang Dacheng remained in charge of the water camp and stationed at Lushunkou, plus the three battleships of 800 tons that had just been launched this month, and nine large new warships remained in Liaodong Bay.

There are also five three-masted gunboats that have been repaired and dozens of warships and sentinel ships with a displacement of less than 100 tons are cruising, and the safety of Liaodong Bay can be done from the sea to support Ningyuan, Dongjiang Town, and Jinzhou, which were attacked by Jiannu.

Shen Ming has been promoted by Huang Yong to captain of the "Udwater".

He was going to leave the merchant fleet sailing alone with the "Venlo" and three sentinel ships on the original ship, and see if he was lucky enough to encounter the East India Company's warships and junk ships to round up again.

Huang Han has a contract with the Japanese state, presumably at this time, the Japanese who have done things well have already prepared the rice polished rice to be delivered to Nagasaki and waiting for the transaction, as for 300,000 stones? 500,000 stones? Or more is unknown.

Therefore, Huang Han sent enough warships and merchant ships to transport back 8.9 million stone supplies, not counting the ship capacity that the sailor generals were ready to loot and capture.

The mighty fleet went east, and Huang Han immediately took ten personal guards composed of four warriors and six apprentices to the official road to the capital.

In fact, at this time, Huang Han had already achieved fame, and his strength was not trivial, and he could lead thousands of iron horsemen to gallop into Beijing, but the more Huang Han behaved in this situation, the more low-key he became, and only brought ten personal guards.

On the road, there is no need to worry about encountering rogues and bandits, during this time, the security in the area of Gyeonggi, Tongzhou, Jizhou, and Yongpyeong is good, and they are not afraid of being calculated by the enemy.

Gu Kui, Yan Congyou and the other four warriors have entered Beijing for the fourth time and don't feel anything, Huang Yi, Wang Ying, and Yang Xiaohammer are all going to the capital for the first time, and they are all so excited that their faces are full of excitement.

In the spring of the sixth year of Chongzhen, the land of Gyeonggi basically got rid of the shadow of the robbery of the slaves three years ago, and its vitality was recovering, and the land from Tiger's Den City to Kaiping Town was thriving.

In fact, Huang Han brought vitality to this land, vigorously building water conservancy facilities for three years, and borrowing food for the common people who were dying of starvation at that time.

Jointly with Xu Guangqi, Zheng Guochang, Liu Zhilun, and Gao Di to restrain the squires and officials, and ask for tax reductions and exemptions. Killing bandits and robbers, giving Shengdou small people living space, at least 200,000 more people survived in this area, and at least 3 million acres of fertile land were barren.

Now that grain self-sufficiency has been achieved, the people and peasants can still have surplus grain to sell every year, and a virtuous circle has been formed.

For this reason, Xu Guangqi and Zheng Guochang wrote to the imperial court many times, asking all state capitals to take Yongping Mansion's success in saving hundreds of thousands of people through production as a model, and strive to make the places where the Ming Dynasty suffered military disasters no longer be deserted.

It's a pity that these two bosses are a little wishful thinking, without a strong military force as a backer, without a large amount of capital investment, without a strong leader, is it possible to complete such a big plan?

The emperor really hoped that the common people could live and work in peace and contentment, and issued an edict to promote the governance experience of Yongping Mansion, but unfortunately, no state capital or county seat could do it so far.
