readx;?“ Attack the port of Champa? "Ruan Mingfang is simply sad and indignant, it is not himself who oppresses the Medeno expatriate, and it is not himself who abuses them, he has just arrived at Champa Port for less than three days, and he has lost hundreds of people for no reason, and now the Medeno people are going to attack Champong Port, what is this? The white dog steals the black dog as a disaster?

Now he can't care about the sadness that the big fat sheep have fled from Zhancheng Port, and now the more troublesome thing for him is behind. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 He snatched the ledger that was about to be reported in his master's hand, and flipped through several pages up and down, but soon found that it was meaningless except to show himself as cool, and he couldn't understand the strange bookkeeping methods of these accounts, and even many of the symbols were completely unknown to him.

He had no choice but to hand the account book to the master again, "Say, where did the money go?" How many? ”

The money is really not in Champa Port, except for the 140,000 taels of the princess's fund - this money is money at all, although Champa Port is not a rich country, but this more than 100,000 taels of silver is really not much. The real fiscal revenue that can be used is 2.75 million taels.

At Qian Longzhou's suggestion, the princess directly allocated funds to buy the development bonds of Beiqiaotou Town a year ago to inject funds into the emerging town. Anyway, Zhancheng Port will definitely not be able to keep it, and instead of waiting for those bureaucrats to take over, it is better to directly develop Beiqiaotou Town. She has never seen Dongfang Port from scratch, but she knows that no one has ever transported so many products to Zhancheng Port in ships before this, the production of such products is complex, and the number of people required is also extremely large, to solve the problem of food and clothing for so many people, there must be a very large area of the city to maintain. In fact, the area of Zhancheng Port is larger than that of Dongfang Port, but there are too many deep mansions in it. In comparison, although the area of the Oriental Port is a little smaller, there are a large number of buildings, and even the elders now live in dormitories, so the housing utilization rate of the Oriental Port is much higher.

Although the princess did not know this, she knew that people could do this completely impossible thing within three months, and now she directly purchased the two .75 million taels of silver for the development of Beiqiaotou Town, then the Chinese will inevitably help them build a newer and larger Beiqiaotou Town, and Qian Longzhou also promised to develop the industry of Beiqiaotou Town, so that the productivity of this town can almost be comparable to that of Dongfang Port. So the money went straight into the pockets of the Senate - and there was nowhere else to go for the money, which was better than being a corrupt official to share in the delicious feast of Champa Port. At least the Chinese also showed her a construction plan for Beiqiaotou Town and a plan for the use of this money, even if she was really greedy for ink, at least the food looked better.

But at this time, Ruan Mingfang has another feeling - Beiqiaotou Town Development Bond? Where is this North Bridgehead Town? Why would the princess invest millions of taels of silver in the development of this town? The master also shook his head again and again to say that he didn't know.

"If the money is invested, how can it be recovered?" He can't help but be two big, he doesn't care if Beiqiaotou Town can develop at all, anyway, he doesn't know where Beiqiaotou Town is, but how can this money be recovered? Two million ,750,000 taels! Since I arrived at Champa Port, I haven't really seen a tael of silver. Now that the mutton has not been eaten, it has caused a commotion, and the benefits have not been taken at all, and they still have to bear all the blame for the Champa Port, how to deal with the affairs of the Maidno people?

"How much compensation do the Medeno people want?"

The master hurriedly took out a red letter from the pocket of his sleeve and handed it over.

Ruan Mingfang opened it with all his hands, and then leaned over to the oil lamp to examine it carefully.

In fact, this letter is not a national letter, just a warning, so it is written in red cloth, but the red cloth is relatively dazzling, and the black letters on it are even more unclear.

"I'm dizzy, you say."

"The Medeno say that six of their warships were captured or sunk by the port of Zhancheng, that more than 4,000 sailors were captured or killed in battle, and that more than 30 merchant ships were taken and sunk in the harbor. Not only did they want us to return the captured ships and men, but they also demanded 10,000,000 taels of silver as compensation, and they wanted to cut off the trade route with the port of Vostochny. The master hurriedly summed up the central idea on the "National Letter" in a quick and precise tone.

Ruan Minh Fang's eyes widened when he heard this, Zhancheng Harbor captured and sank the fleet of the Medeno people? How is this possible? He had served as an official in other port cities before, and had seen the fleet of the Medenors, not to mention their large ships, even their merchant ships were huge, not to mention the hundreds of sailors on them. He didn't know about this port, but there were only more than 2,000 troops, and the new army would not exceed 3,000 at most.

However, there are more than 4,000 sailors in the Meideno Navy, and the sailors of more than 30 merchant ships directly exceed 10,000, how is this possible? That's all the things that these vans are capable of? He couldn't help but shake his head, he only saw them being beaten by a mere hundred new troops today. It is even more impossible to seize the warship, there is no navy in Zhancheng Port, and the only navy is still a hundred miles south of Wenshan Port, as far as he knows, the Annan naval warship is simply a fishing boat levied from the fishermen, and some planks are added to it to raise the bulwark. This is nonsense! And when I was in Hue, I didn't hear the navy report on the great victory, so it must have been the Champa port that caused losses to the Medeno people. But how could the port of Champa pose a threat to people's ships at sea? No matter how powerful the infantry firearms are, can they run to other people's ships? Even if your ship can't win against the infantry, you won't escape? The more he thought about it, the more he couldn't figure out how such a thing could happen.

"How much do the Medenor people say they lost?" He suddenly remembered this practical question.

"Lord Hui, ten million taels of silver."

10 million taels of silver, this word immediately shocked him, the annual income of the Hue Imperial Court in a year is less than 9 million taels, such an income is not enough to divide the six ministries at all, and the stolen goods sent to Nguyen Phuc Yuan's inner treasury after being pumped by the household department are only less than one million taels. At the moment, the compensation is 10 million taels! The treasury must have no money, his uncle got drunk at the send-off banquet before departure, and told himself that the treasury is now only more than 60,000 taels of silver, and he is in a tight situation everywhere, and he must vigorously collect silver for the country when he arrives at Champa Port, and don't care about the life or death of Champa Port. Everyone was blushing at the fact that Zhancheng Port was getting rich with Dongfang Port, anyway, those rich people couldn't go anywhere except Zhancheng Port.

At this time, he controlled all the capital of Champa Port, but he did not see a penny, and he also lost hundreds of people in the hands of the new army.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be annoyed, waved his hand and said, "Send the order to go down, the whole city will search for the remnants of the new army, and those caught will be sent to the new army barracks." I'm going to interrogate these Annan scum! ”

The new army's troops were tossed enough by these "own people" at the beginning, and even the officers were killed. However, now that the rich people in Champagang have run away, many of them have forgotten that they are going to flee, and have followed the people to rush to the houses of these rich people to rob.

They were wearing conspicuous red military uniforms, and they were going to change their clothes at first, but now they saw an opportunity to make a fortune, and they all started to rob directly before they had time to change their clothes, and several bannermen in charge of the city defense arrested more than 60 new soldiers in the next night. Early the next morning, the new troops were sent to a stockade outside the city that had been looted by the Nanbans.

This village is not big, and I heard that it used to be the property of a large family, and this big family fled to the city with his family and Zhuang Ke and all his property and grain after Nanban came. This had just beaten away the Nanban, and before he had time to go back, he began to hear that the Duke was going to lose power, thinking that he would definitely not stay in Zhancheng Port for a long time in the future, so he simply fled to Beiqiaotou Town. As for the stockade here, the houses collapsed by the Nanban scourge, and the walls of the walled villages have been demolished and used as siege equipment, which is completely dilapidated.

And what Ruan Mingfang wants is this effect, there is a secret passage in the barracks of the new army, and he knows this, otherwise how could hundreds of new troops escape from the barracks quietly? Although the rest of the torturers said that they didn't know where the secret passage was, who could guarantee that it was true? If they really come back to a victorious escape, where will they arrest people? Besides, in the future, if a conscientious new army touches through the secret passage, it will definitely be able to cause chaos. Therefore, he finally decided to send directly to the abandoned Zhuangzi outside the city, so that he would definitely not have to escape.

============================= divider =============================

After Qian Longzhou said these things, he sat on the sofa in Du Yande's office, this kind of all-wooden sofa made him grin for a while.

"There's no way, the Senate doesn't have much money, and besides, we don't produce sponges now, so you can exercise your hip muscles first." Du Yande smiled, "By the way, have you shown the princess this development plan for Beiqiaotou Town?" ”

"Of course, now the princess is obedient to me, and even the last 140,000 taels have been brought over to me." Qian Longzhou couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows.

"I see, the princess is probably a potential partner for you now, believe it or not, if you can solve the crisis in Champa Port and let her come back to take charge of the situation, she will definitely marry you as a concubine." Beiwei suddenly laughed as he spoke.

Qian Longzhou couldn't help but be a little depressed, "Why are you marrying me?" It's almost the same as if I married her, and it's not bad to marry her when the time comes, this princess is really not ugly, she has a good figure, she will definitely be able to give birth, and if she becomes the master of Champa Harbor when the time comes......"

"Don't think too much about it, if you marry to Champa Port, our Senate will not be able to guarantee your status as a senator." Du Yande waved his hand in front of Qian Longzhou's eyes, interrupting his fantasy.

"Why?" Qian Longzhou's eyes immediately widened.

"You were the master of the Annam monkey at that time, how can you compare with us, the elders who represent the advanced productive forces!" Beiwei laughed again.
