Feng Yunshan stepped forward again and helped the rest of the officials up one by one, while Liu Shengbang and other guards were watching from the side, carefully protecting, for fear that any of them would have a sudden attack that would not be good for the Holy King.

Wu Zhenqi also introduced on the side. Kneeling to greet Feng Yunshan were Sang Chunrong, the political envoy of Yunan, Zhang Yintang, the envoy of Yunan, Wu Cunyi, the Xuezheng of Yunan, Wang Chenglu, a member of the Yanfa Daoist of Yunan, Xu Fengyu, a grain storage officer, Deng Erheng, the prefect of Yunan, Ji Haiming, the prefect of Huijiang, Xu Jin, the governor of Wuding Prefecture, and many military attachés such as the deputy general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Feng Yunshan noticed that these officials were also ruthless, not only did they not wear Manchu official uniforms, but they also cut off the servile rattail on their heads, leaving only one end of their short hair scattered indiscriminately, which was somewhat nondescript and even funny. It seems that in order to show their sincerity and strengthen their determination to join the Holy Kingdom, these people have wasted a lot of effort.

Seeing that these officials were so united, Feng Yunshan couldn't help but maliciously guess that among them, there would be some people who didn't want to surrender and were also coerced to surrender to the Holy Country. Forcing the top of your head to cut off your braids is a good way to do it. Once the braids are cut off, it means betraying the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he can't help but rebel.

Seeing so many officials, as well as the Qing soldiers on both sides of the official road, all surrendered, Feng Yunshan secretly said in his heart, this time it was worth coming all the way to Kunming.

Ahead, Li Kaifang had already led the capture army of the Second Division A to open the way, and hundreds of cavalry rushed into the city to inspect the city in Kunming to avoid anything wrong. Of course, this is also just in case. Even the main officials in the city have already left the city to surrender, and it is basically impossible to surrender by fraud.

On the official road leading to the east gate of Kunming, Feng Yunshan, accompanied by Wu Zhenqi, was surrounded by guards, for fear of any danger and injury, and slowly entered the city.

On both sides of the city gate, although the soldiers of the Second Division were under martial law, there were still some people inside and outside the city watching the excitement. Feng Yunshan didn't stand up stupidly and make a speech or anything like that, he didn't want to be assassinated if something really happened.

Entering the city, Feng Yunshan stayed in the City God Temple where the Second Division was camped. The captives have been dispatched to occupy the entire city of Kunming, and let the soldiers of the 17th Brigade guard the gates.

Governor Wu Zhenqi, political envoy Sang Chunrong, envoy Zhang Yintang, Yunnan salt law Taoist Wang Chenglu, and grain storage Taoist Xu Fengyu were summoned to the military camp by Feng Yunshan, and together with Wang Minyun, Li Kaifang, Luo Qiongshu, Fan Ruzeng, and others, they learned from them about the seizure in Kunming and the situation in Yunnan.

"Since you are obedient to this king, you are also a member of the holy kingdom, and you should serve the holy kingdom. This king will arrange secret agents to investigate your usual actions, if you are mishapty and have serious inferior people, this king will not only not use it again, but will also pursue their responsibility. And if it is a person who is honest and loves the people, this king will still reuse it, let him use what he has learned, and benefit the people! Feng Yunshan opened his mouth and said to warn them.

"Holy King, rest assured, although we are stupid and even more confused to the point of working for the Manchus, we are doing right." Wu Zhenqi replied, nodded at everyone, and continued: "Holy King, Kunming is the place where the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces are located, and they are very rich. Before Wu went out of the city and surrendered to the Holy Kingdom, he had already locked the governor's palace, the governor's yamen and other treasury, official warehouses, silver warehouses, weapons depots, etc., posted seals, and waited for the Holy King to arrange someone to receive them! ”。

"Really?!" Feng Yunshan was secretly happy in his heart, and glanced at Wu Zhenqi again!

I said that you have to call this king to come to Yunnan, not only to let this king express his sincerity, but also to show off your merits! However, this king likes such things.

Feng Yunshan said secretly in his heart, but he asked a little casually: "Well, how much grain and other things are left?" ”

"Holy King, after the statistics of the past few days, the treasury of the yamen and the official warehouses and warehouses in Kunming City add up, a total of 370,000 taels of silver, more than 300 million copper coins, and 3.6 million catties of copper and 700,000 quintals of well salt. Rice, wheat, and grain totaled 320,000 koku. 500,000 pieces of cloth. Well, the Saint King ......" Wu Zhenyan looked at Feng Yunshan next to him, and couldn't go on.

I saw Feng Yunshan's eyes widen, he opened his mouth, and his mouth couldn't be closed!

Kunming, Yunnan, is so rich!

He originally thought that this remote and poor place, even if it was occupied, would only come for the copper mines. But I didn't expect that this Kunming city was so rich and had too many goods.

Especially for grain, there are 320,000 stones, which is 20 million kilograms. It is also a loss to take the initiative to surrender, otherwise, the city of Kunming will not be captured, and I don't know how long it will take to surrender due to lack of food.

This Wu Zhenqi has a lot of credit.

"Holy King, these coppers are only transported to Kunming from Lin'an Mansion and other southern Yunnan copper mining areas, and they have not had time to be transported and accumulated over the years. Dongchuan Prefecture, the main copper-producing area in Yunnan, produces more copper for coinage, but it is concentrated on the spot and transported to southern Sichuan, and then transferred to other places. The silver taels were originally intended by the Governor's Office to be allocated to Guizhou for the purpose of pacifying the rebellious rebels, but because the captives attacked the territory of Yunnan, the road was blocked, so they could not be transported out in the future. Sang Chunrong, the political envoy of Yunanbu on the side, explained.

Looking at this Sang Chunrong, Feng Yunshan suddenly remembered that this person was also a little famous in history, and he would have served as the secretary of the Criminal Department in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, presiding over the trial of the case of "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage", rehabilitating the prison, enforcing the law fairly, and shaking the world. However, now because of his appearance, it is impossible for such a thing to happen.

Feng Yunshan always thought that there should be a shortage of grain in Yunnan, but he didn't expect that there was so much grain in Kunming City, and Yunan Mountain was difficult to climb, so it was obviously not transported from other provinces on a large scale. I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Lord Sang, Yunan can actually be self-sufficient in food?" ”

"Tell the Holy King, in the land of Yunnan Province, in general, not only can it be self-sufficient in grain, but it can also have a small surplus. But each state capital is different! In Yunnan, where Kunming City is located, there are about one million acres of land, and the yield per mu is equivalent to more than 400 catties of rice and corn, and a total of 400 million catties of grain can be produced every year, and the population in the province is exactly one million, nearly 600 million catties of grain are needed, and nearly 200 million catties of grain are shortage, which need to be transferred from other state capitals to make up. ”

"In Dali Mansion, the fields are also more than one million acres, but the population is only more than 600,000, and the excess grain is nearly 150 million catties; The ones that can have the most surplus grain are Lin'an Mansion and Chuxiong Mansion, which together can produce nearly 400 million catties of extra grain. Therefore, Yunnan's food is not a problem! Sang Chunrong is obviously a qualified political envoy, not only familiar with all kinds of people's livelihood data, but also able to guess Feng Yunshan's interests.

When he saw Feng Yunshan asking about food and other issues, he took the initiative to introduce the affairs he was in charge of: "Yunan Province has a total population of 7.1 million, of which the five major prefectures of Yunan Mansion, Dali Mansion, Chuxiong Mansion, Lin'an Mansion and Qujing Mansion occupy more than half of the population and land, which is the most important. ”

"And the most important taxes in Yunnan are copper mines and well salt! Among them, copper is the most in Dongchuan and Lin'an, especially Dongchuan, is the center of copper production in Yunnan, the Manchu court has dozens of copper mining plants and mines in Dongchuan, in recent years, the entire Yunnan produces seven or eight million catties of copper every year, and Dongchuan produces 3.5 million catties, accounting for almost half of the province, and there are more than 200,000 miners alone. ”

Sang Chunrong obviously wanted to be clearer, so that Feng Yunshan would pay attention to him and hope to continue to use him.

And Wang Chenglu, a Taoist of Yunan Salt, also hurriedly reported: "Holy King, another big source of wealth in Yunan is well salt!" There are three major well salt producing areas in the province: one is the Heijing District, in the Heijing Town, Lufeng County, Yunnan Prefecture, there are three fields of Heijing, Yuanyongjing and Ajiajing, and Langjing is the branch of the Heijing; The second is Baijing District, located in Dayao County, Chuxiong Prefecture, with four fields: Baijing, Qiaohoujing, Lajijing and Yunlongjing; The third is the Moheijing District, located in Mohei Town, Ning'er County, Pu'er City, with three fields: Moheijing, Bang Well, and Xiangyan Well. The three major salt well areas can produce half a billion catties of well salt every year. However, due to the rugged mountain road in Yunnan, transportation is difficult, and it is only for the people of this province to eat. ”

When Feng Yunshan heard this, he had a great understanding of Yunnan's situation. It seems that these people in front of him have a lot of thoughts about being officials, and they have shown themselves their abilities, but in fact, they just want to get their own approval and reappoint them as officials.

In my own opinion, this is not impossible. As long as they have the intention of being officials and want to do something for the people, however, they can't be allowed to stay in Yunnan as officials, and more than half of them must be transferred.

As for where to go, I haven't figured it out yet. Moss Bay Island? It's a good choice. However, given that they had betrayed the Manchus, in order to prevent them from betraying the Holy Kingdom again, they had to go somewhere beyond the reach of the Manchus.

Of course, this is also just in case, the army is in their own hands, what they can do is to organize the people to develop agriculture and become a local official with peace of mind, even if they have the opposite intentions, they will not give them soil.

When the secret service department is growing stronger, those agents are vegetarians? Moreover, as long as the Holy Kingdom is stronger day by day, they are not fools, otherwise, they would not have turned their backs on the declining Manchu Qing Dynasty and surrendered to the Holy Kingdom instead.

It's just that why don't you mention the peasant uprising in western Yunnan?
