Chapter 451 Protecting the Country, Benevolence and Righteousness!
Yang Qing is also a generous favor.
In fact, he did this all high-end methods, first disintegrating the upper class in the style of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Officials like this.
Who doesn't like to make the country's industry their own? The trade routes in the Western Regions that Li Zicheng had painstakingly managed over the years, the minerals he had developed, the primary industries he had established, and even his treasury had all been divided up by Yang Qing, a Ming imperialist, and a group of bureaucrats......
Poor he's still lying in the back!
Before his bones are cold, these bastards have already started to play counterattacks, forget it!
But what could he do?
In fact, Yang Qing had been laying out this day since he gave him the book, and this insidious guy was just using Li Zicheng to solve the famine in the northwest with the means he taught, and to get through this most difficult time. This means is the only and most effective means, and there is nothing more effective than this, and the circumstances of the late Ming Dynasty dictate that the dilemma in Jiangnan may be solved by moderate reforms, but in the northwest, the most famine region, only this forced average can survive.
All else is useless.
In the case of severe food shortage, there is no play in wanting to play anything.
Li Zi himself had a little simple ideal, and then Yang Qing guided him like an empowerment, and he suddenly became enlightened, and finally succeeded by virtue of the prestige of King Chuang. But Yang Qing didn't want to face a new country after success, which was also a huge threat to him, so he had already thought about how to solve Li Zicheng, and he did help Li Zicheng build the Qin Domain into a strong fortress that even he feared, but ......
The fortresses were breached from within!
Li Zicheng has ideals, and all his subordinates think about is glory and wealth!
Li Zicheng's success, in addition to Yang Qing's guidance and help, largely relied on his own prestige and his feelings with these old brothers for more than ten years. The latter's loyalty to him is indeed undoubted, and before his death, even if he was pursued by the Qing army for more than a year, none of his old brothers betrayed. These people like Gu Kecheng are like this, even if they die in battle to cover him, none of them betray him, and what he wants to do, even if these people are not necessarily willing, they will obey him unconditionally......
But that doesn't mean they like it.
Who doesn't love money?
But Li Zicheng doesn't allow it! Could it be that they still betrayed Li Zicheng for this? Everyone is an old brother for more than ten years, and Li Zicheng is not saying that he didn't give them power and a rich life, it would be too unrighteous to betray the boss just to get rich. In this sense, Li Zicheng's death was also a relief for them, and then as soon as Yang Qing's gift package was delivered, they immediately pushed the boat down.
They actually wanted to do it for a long time!
It's just that Li Zicheng is alive, and they can't get around this obstacle, but fortunately he died early.
It's not too late.
And from this point of view, there is no difference between Yang Qing and Gong Dingyu, but he knows the result better than the latter, he is a manipulator, and he is also a manipulator who already knows the ending and opens the perspective of God, Gong Dingyu can't see the ending, it's just ......
I'm just afraid of death!
Solve the upper class first, and then buy the lower class with everyone's share of the scattered wealth.
A tael of silver for a mouthful!
When has there ever been such a good thing? Li Zicheng is not as good as protecting the country! Li Zicheng's equalization After spending the most difficult years, in fact, those members are already dissatisfied, after all, it is easy to be cranky when they are full. Now it will definitely be changed to Huangzhuang, and Huangzhuang is more attractive, after all, Huangzhuang does not have so many constraints, and then smash down a tael of silver from this person, you can imagine how the members of the Guanzhong Commune who got these silver will cheer for the Protector. As for the matter of rebelling against the protector, don't talk about it, who would rebel against a ruler who gives out one or two pieces of silver? Except for a great and wise leader like the Lord Protector, who would give a single person a tael of silver?
In particular, the protector of the country is still breezy and does not take a single tael of silver in this partition.
O saints!
They won't understand it.
Yang Qing did not take a tael of silver, but what could those members of the club who had divided the silver do after they suddenly got a huge amount of money? Consume! Buy new clothes, buy sugar, buy canned food, even we have to light whale oil lamps at night, we have to drink tea! Originally, under the control of Li Zicheng, the luxury goods that were distributed according to demand and even because of import quota restrictions, ordinary members could hardly touch, of course, this luxury goods may be tea, sugar and the like. But with the sudden addition of this huge sum of money in their hands, and the opening of trade to all their purchases, a commercial spree was bound to begin, and finally all the money went to the factories and businesses in the south.
Then there was the skyrocketing tax revenue of Daming's industry and commerce, plus the factories and firms that were mostly in the hands of Yang Qing's henchmen made a lot of money.
That's what everyone is happy about.
The same is true of the generals who took away.
Yang Qing did not take the silver, but their silver was in Yang Qing's hands, and Yang Qing could issue banknotes on the territory of the original Qin Domain, and Li Zicheng's treasury still had at least 20 million, and the distribution to the members was no more than 6 million, and the remaining 14 million would fall into Yang Qing's hands.
Although the silver belonged to those generals.
But as long as it is in the treasury of the Chang'an branch of the Imperial Bank, it is a guarantee of the credibility of the banknotes.
These tricks are all accumulated over hundreds of years of experience, and countless imperialists have gradually practiced them from generation to generation, and the people of this era, especially the simple-minded old bandits like Qin Fan, don't understand. They knew at this moment that the Protector was really righteous enough, and he had everything with the Protector, tens of millions of silver! And those originally publicly owned businesses, mines, all of them were given to them!
Don't take a tael of silver from the protector!
So what about them......
"Since the Protector regards me as a brother, my life will be the Protector in the future!"
Gu Kecheng stood up and said excitedly.
"I don't want your lives, I want you all to live a long life, be rich and glorious, and I want your children and grandchildren to be rich and glorious!"
Yang Qing stood up and said.
With that, he picked up his glass......
"It's a brother, let's drink the wine in the same glass!"
He said, holding up his glass.
And then......
And then what else?
Drink!
It's a pity that there are still mountains of corpses and blood outside, and countless Eight Banner athletes are struggling in a pool of blood, they have already finished dividing the spoils and then drinking, and they are still drinking in front of Li Zicheng, and they don't know what Lao Li's spirit in the sky thinks of them.
However, they also have some minor issues that need to be addressed.
First of all, there is the problem of the northern capital.
"Ten days without sealing the knife!"
Yang Qing drank wine and waved his hand.
The old bandits laughed happily.
This means that they can toss at will, rob if they want, kill if they want, catch slaves if they like, and catch slaves if they like, let it be the latter, these guys will go to their own fiefdom to retire next, and Yang Qing can't give them someone's fief, it must be the land in the buffer zone before Luxi, Henan or even Hebei as a fief. Then the cultivation of these fiefdoms requires a large number of peasants, and the tenants are afraid that there will be no play, and then Hebei will also be Huangzhuang, who will rent their land if there is Huangzhuang? Then the use of slaves is an inevitable choice, and the city in front of you is equivalent to a huge slave mine.
Young and beautiful women are sold to the south, and the men and those who are not beautiful are caught and farmed.
"But men have to castrate!"
Yang Qing said.
This old bandit also understands.
Most of them are part-time slave traders, and they have sold a lot in recent years, and the rules are very clear.
"But this palace ......"
Liu Fangliang wanted to speak and stopped.
"The northern capital has been stained, many things here have been used by Jiannu, Her Majesty the Empress will not want these things, and it is filthy to keep them, you can deal with them yourself!"
Yang Qing said.
This means that the old bandits can even scrape the palace clean, and he won't mind.
"Protector of the country, benevolence and righteousness!"
Gu Kecheng said excitedly with a thumbs up.
"But I still want to say that you have made a windfall yourself, and you can't forget others, especially the brothers in the navy, if it weren't for the marines who attracted the main force of Jiannu to Tianjin, you wouldn't have been able to take the northern capital so easily, we are all particular about people, and we can't eat alone."
Yang Qing said.
"What the Protector is right, we can't let the brothers of the navy scold us for not being righteous, take one million taels and give it to the brothers of the navy, and the families of the navy brothers who died this time will send an additional twenty taels. As for the little marquis of the Zheng family and the captains, the battalion commander and above will send another batch of jewelry, and the brothers of the Southern Capital Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the commanders of various places and armies will also prepare a batch of jewelry as gifts! In the future, we will be a family with them, and we will also gain a lot this time, since we are a family, then we have to be rich and enjoy the silver together. ”
Gao Yigong said.
The old bandits nodded solemnly.
They know very well that they are going to retire as rich men next, and they will also lose their power, although Yang Qing guarantees that the glory and wealth can be guaranteed, but they will also have to face all kinds of little ghosts in the future. The king of Hades is good at serving the little ghosts, these are all powerful factions, they really don't dare to deal with themselves, they can do bad to their relatives later, and it is impossible to find the protector of the country in everything. This time I have caught so much, there must be people who will be red-eyed, everyone knows that attacking the enemy's capital is a windfall, and it is definitely not okay to eat alone. Since this is the case, be generous, anyway, it is all for nothing, and the Shun army will divide up and down Li Zicheng's treasury, and the sum of this time will not be less than 20 million, and it is not a big deal to take out 2 million as favors.
"Okay, I'll give you this money first!"
Yang Qing said.
That's fine, the Northern Capital is recovering the war, which can be regarded as a great joy for everyone.
Of course, there is no need to care about the sorrow of the Eight Banners athletes, and at the same moment, the war is still burning in the inner city of the northern capital, and this is completely ignored, all these guys have to do is drink.
