Nowadays, grain prices remain high, and the "Red Flag Grain Bank" does not hoard, and Juqi has always implemented the highest price limit to supply the market, and profits are indispensable.

In fact, the largest trading volume in ancient cities was grain, and the capital with a population of one million consumed at least 2 million stone of grain every year.

In order to stabilize prices, the price of polished rice and white flour sold in Beijing should not be higher than two taels of silver and one stone.

The price of maize, potato flour, and dried sweet potatoes sold in Gyeonggi is less than one stone and six coins.

Xu Guangqi, who knows how to settle accounts, estimates that the profit of Huang Hantuntian should not be less than one or two million taels of silver every year.

In order to prevent profiteers from forming alliances and organizing funds to purchase grain sold at limited prices by the "Red Flag Grain Bank" on a large scale, and to prevent the inflated price of grain from causing the small people in Shengdou to face hunger.

Regardless of how other officials and businessmen did business, Huang Han was actually already adopting a ration system when selling grain in Gyeonggi, and handled the grain capital for the people in the system and Gyeonggi according to their household registration.

The population of the small people in Shengdou is registered on the grain book, and when they come to the "Red Flag Grain Bank" to buy grain, they can't buy grain with silver and copper coins alone.

The grain store will write down the amount of food purchased by the common people in the grain book, and the average adult cannot buy more than two stones of grain per year.

This is a simple and effective practice, especially when commodity resources are scarce, and can create the most basic equality, so that the small people of Shengdou can not go hungry.

This kind of behavior has made millions of grassroots people grateful to Dade, and Huang Han's image as a savior has been constantly raised, and too many Shengdou people in Gyeonggi are eager to work for Dongpinghou and become even more eager to become the "Red Flag Army".

As long as one of the innocent families is working for Huang Han, the whole family can enjoy the limited price of grain, and the rest must find three families as a guarantee to receive the grain book.

The family of the guarantor must be the military family members and the families of the employees in the system, and each military family family can give ten families as a guarantee, and they must also inspect the insured to prevent the perpetrators from committing adultery and enjoying the benefits of limited price food.

The superiority of the "Red Flag Army" system has been demonstrated, just like the huge difference between the rural and urban hukou in the sixties and seventies, which of course led to the yearning of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi knew that Huang Han was not a miser, and he had money in his hand that he was willing to use it to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and the old man knew that even if the imperial court paid a salary of 4.8 million taels of silver, it might not be enough.

The lover has always been kind to the soldiers, and he must also subsidize a lot of money and grain for Liao affairs.

But when he saw that the young emperor actually had white hair on both temples, a few traces of his heart were touched, and people were sympathetic to the weak, Xu Guangqi knew that Huang Han was a month older than Chongzhen.

Comparing the two peers, Huang Han was energetic, his back was firm, his hair was black and shiny, and his face was full of red. And today, when his back is a little rickety, his face is pale and thin, and he is only in his twenties and has gray hair.

Xu Guangqi, who was moved by compassion, said calmly:

"Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dongping is determined to serve the country and Jiannu is not the same day, he is sincerely planning to completely destroy Dongnu, and the salary and treatment he asks for are not out of line.

As for whether the imperial court finally gave the title of king of Liaoshen County, it would be five years later, when the Marquis of Dongping really fought to destroy the country and destroy the species, and the final reward should be considered.

The Marquis of Dongping took five years to pacify Liaodong, could it be that His Majesty was freed from the Liao affair and poured the power of the Ming Dynasty to solve the problem of the wanderers?

How big is the Ming Dynasty, if the national strength of the sword soldiers is not used for three years, how much should the national strength increase? ”

Xu Ge is really level, and he wakes up the dreamer with a word.

Chongzhen thought about it for a while, and couldn't help but look happy.

Huang Han fell into the Liaodong war situation and fought constantly with Jiannu, and estimated that it would not only cost energy, but also financial resources, and he would free up his hands to spend a year or two to pacify the Liukou, and then spend another three years to fight hard.

At that time, with a strong army in hand, he could still have surplus money and food, if there was no disagreement with Huang Han, who had just finished the war with Jiannu, the monarch and the ministers would naturally start and finish well, and if Huang Han had bad intentions, the imperial court could suppress it by force.

Chongzhen said: "Aiqing's golden and jade good words, I listened to it like an initiation, but only 1.5 million stone grain, horse feed, 4.8 million taels of silver, this amount is too large, after the imperial court gave Liao, there is not much money and food left to supply the army that participated in the extermination of the Liukou." ”

Xu Guangqi pointed out and said: "If Your Majesty is willing to give the Marquis of Dongping the power and is willing to give him an official and a knight, he is a man with great ambitions, and he will definitely do his best to complete the five-year Pingliao plan, and he will definitely not hesitate to go bankrupt for this."

Therefore, the old minister thought that the amount of Liao salary given by the imperial court could be settled through negotiation.

However, this does not mean that 4.8 million taels of silver can be used to pay salaries, weapons, armor, chariots and horses to as many as 100,000 soldiers in Xuzhen, Ningyuan, Dongjiang Town, Denglai, Tianjin Wei, Shanhaiguan, and Yongping Mansion. ”

"What Aiqing means by his words, the Liao salary that Dongping Hou asked for is actually not enough at all?"

"However, in the fifth year, Pingliao is going to fight and fight evil battles with Jiannu, not to retreat in a few cities to passively defend and waste money and food.

In the hands of Dongping Hou, every battalion in Liaoxi, Liaonan, Dongjiang, and Jizhen will be fully loaded and will be far away, where is the Liao salary of 4.8 million taels of silver enough, Dongping Hou was originally ready to post it upside down.

The old minister estimated that the imperial court gave 400,000 taels, and the Marquis of Dongping had to add another 200,000 taels every month, and there were 600,000 taels of silver every month to barely maintain the expenses.

Because the salary of the 'Red Banner Army' is too high, on average, each regular soldier will not be less than two taels of silver a month.

Based on 150,000 people, it is 300,000 taels, and if there are 50,000 or 60,000 war horses and horses, I am afraid that tens of thousands of taels of silver will be consumed in a month.

150,000 people have to eat three meals and have to keep meat to maintain their physical strength and strengthen their combat effectiveness, and they can't get down without 100,000 taels of silver a month.

weapons, armor, uniforms, gunpowder lead bullets consumed during training...... There are so many of them, does Your Majesty think that less than 600,000 taels of silver a month is enough for expenses? ”

Chongzhen was sweating when he heard this, and he said leisurely: "In this way, is it possible for the imperial court to discuss with the Marquis of Dongping to reduce the Liao salary?" ”

"This has to see how to talk about it, Lao Chen has heard Dongping Marquis talk about his views on money many times, he thinks that money and grain are worth it when they are used to enrich the country and strengthen the army, and everything else is fleeting.

Lao Chen judged that as long as His Majesty took a step back in other aspects, it was still very likely that the Marquis of Dongping would ask for one hundred thousand taels of silver. ”

Chongzhen was extremely distressed, his eyes were red, and he seemed to be asking a question and seemed to be talking to himself: "Alas! What a dilemma! If I agree to the conditions proposed by the Marquis of Dongping, it will be equivalent to putting the fate of the Ming Dynasty on him, in case ......"
