Section 206 Where to make money

The third volume sailed in the Ming Dynasty

And senior generals such as Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei knew the content of the court meeting in advance, and understood that this was Emperor Chongzhen who let Qin Haoming accumulate experience and prestige, and justified himself in taking charge of Fujian and Guangzhou in the future.

This son is in his prime and has a bright future, it is rare that he has not overwhelmed people with his power, and the places that need help in the future are indispensable.

In the next few days, there were generals who told Qin Haoming one after another that they were willing to pay in full, and most of them were generals who fought together some time ago.

For example, Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Zhang Songrong, etc., as for the future father-in-law Qi Gang, he decided to support it that night.

Of course, people have different hearts, and there are many people who ignore them or are still on the sidelines.

However, for Qin Haoming, it no longer matters.

Uniting part and striking part of the fight has always been the only strategy for the division and disintegration of the superiors, and what I am most afraid of is a piece of iron bucket, so there is nothing to be done!

Qin Hao Mingyuan was not so generous as he said verbally, what was not forced, it was just a pretentious gesture.

After all, the soldiers of Xuanfu Town were not brought out by him, and he couldn't do it like his fingers, so he made this decision.

Eating empty wages is a cancer of the Ming Dynasty, and he has no ability and cannot do it in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, within the scope of his control or in the army he will build in the future, such a phenomenon will absolutely not be tolerated.

There are many reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty, but eating empty salary is definitely one of the important reasons.

Withholding military salaries was not uncommon, and overwhelmed soldiers abounded, making mass exodus of military households commonplace.

Since the Jiajing period, the flight rate of military households has been frighteningly high, and a large number of guards have become useless, and some guards have only a few people left.

Even the Liaodong, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong garrisons on the coastal front had only 30 percent of the troops left.

When the imperial court really wanted to use troops to start a war, it thought it was a million lions, but in fact, it had already been hollowed out by the officers.

What's even worse is that because it has been peaceful for a long time, the quality of generals and soldiers is amazingly poor.

Some hereditary generals could not even ride horses, could not even figure out the flag, and usually drank and bragged with their colleagues to be considered dutiful.

And the soldiers are even more low in combat effectiveness, busy with tuntian, happy to receive salaries, but they can't fight, and they will collapse at the touch of a touch after going into battle.

In Qin Haoming's view, the most important thing is the disintegration of people's hearts.

This is the case for civil and military officials, and even more so for ordinary people. Who is the emperor, what does it matter to us, don't we still be ordinary people?

The same is true for the soldiers defending the city, there is no military pay, why should we sell our lives?

In history, when the army of King Chuang besieged the city, the defenders of the capital fell to the head of the city, "one person was whipped, and one person was relied".

But the Ming Dynasty perished, the catastrophe came, and decades of brutal war followed, and no one was able to stay out of it.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the population suffered heavy losses, and later there was "Huguang filling Sichuan", how much was the specific loss?

From tens of millions to hundreds of millions, different statistics, behind the cold figures, are countless tragedies of blood and tears.

A country that lacks trust and consensus is bound to fall apart.

No one is willing to take responsibility in case of trouble, and everyone wants to shift the responsibility to the other party and blindly blame the other party, and they are bound to end up together.

Therefore, Qin Haoming decided to give full play to his advantages in making money, and first help Lu Xiangsheng solve the problem of Xuanfu Border Town, and he may be his own reinforcement in the future.

In March of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, through the efforts of Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the Ministry of Officials, except for Fan Yubin, the son of the Fan family, who did not know where to go, all the rest were arrested.

There are more than 560 immediate family members in the three families within three generations, and the income from the fines and confiscations is 7.5 million taels of silver.

Chongzhen was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and when the Shuowang Day was approaching, he was very generous to settle all the meritorious soldiers who built the slave Koubian this time.

The soldiers of the Tianxiong Army were beheaded more than 16,000 according to the head of the imperial court, plus the heads of the Prince of Jiannu, Abatai and Yue Tuo, a total of 1.2 million silver.

However, the pension for the disabled soldiers is insufficient, and there are more than 8,000 soldiers killed or wounded, but it is only 100,000 taels of silver, and only nearly 10 taels are apportioned to the head, which is obviously insufficient.

This is still after the three Jin merchants raided the house, Chongzhen was only relieved, otherwise, it would be worrying?

In fact, Qin Haoming wanted to tell Chongzhen that if he cleaned up the Jinyiwei and Dongchang and other cadres who handled the case, I am afraid there would be a bigger surprise.

With the capital of the three major Jin merchants, more than 7 million people are very large, because they still have a large amount of real estate?

However, if people are not by Chongzhen's side, it is really inconvenient. Besides, with Chongzhen's heart, he may not be so ruthless, and it is difficult for Di Qian to explain the cause and effect, so he simply gives up.

In any case, the situation is much better now than it was in history, and there is no need to be demanding.

The deficit of the disabled soldiers naturally has to be made up, otherwise, it is too chilling, and it is not Qin Haoming's style.

The original money must not be touched, it is the future development fund of Linpu, and the matter of killing chickens and eggs cannot be done, so it is better to think of another way.

"General Qi has been in the border town for many years, do you know what way to make money?

There is not a single big merchant in Xuanfu Town, and he can't even fight the autumn wind. ”

Qin Haoming just arrived in Xuanfu Town, and as far as the eye could see, most of them were depressed people's livelihood, business was not prosperous, and the people who came and went were basically the dependents of border soldiers.

For a while, there was a feeling that there was nothing to be done, and it was inconvenient to consult others, and it was spread out to affect the reputation.

Qi Gang has a special relationship, so it naturally doesn't matter.

"I don't know that Xuanfu is an important border town, and Lu Du stipulates that unless there are special reasons, merchants are not allowed to settle in the city.

In addition, the horse market is located in Datong Desheng Fort, Xuanfu Zhangjiakou Fort, Datong Xinping Fort, Shanxi Shuiquan Camp Fort.

Although the distance is not far, after all, there are many inconveniences, so you can't see big businesses. Moreover, the border trade is mostly Jin merchants, so it can be said that this is their home field. ”

There was no one else present, so the two of them were much more casual and didn't pay much attention to the title.

Qi Gang carefully introduced the situation clearly, and at the same time wondered what Qin Haoming meant by making money?

Is it because you want to rob or extort business?

Don't make a big mistake because of a small loss, he is only a temporary governor now, and he is still a regular, if he is caught by the imperial historian, it will not be good!

"The court sent local officials to supervise and manage the trade in the horse market, and listened to the governor's appointment to distribute the cloth and the grain officers according to the second division, and sent the officials and soldiers to supervise in person, and sent the officers and soldiers to protect them.

If you have any ideas, you still need to pay attention to concealment. ”

It can be said that Qi Gang cares more about his promotion and stability than Qin Haoming. Seeing that Qin Haoming heard the situation, his eyes glowed abnormally, and he hurriedly reminded.

"Am I so terrible, don't you take the law of the court to heart?"

Qin Haoming pretended to be dissatisfied and glanced at his future father-in-law, and said with a smile.

"It's terrible, the soldiers are talking about you behind your back, saying that you are different from Lu Du."

Qi Gang nodded honestly and said honestly.

"What do you say about me?"

Qin Haoming was very concerned about what the soldiers thought of him, and hurriedly asked.
