"Although I am an official in the imperial court, I have also heard that since Shandong became an army, there has been no penny of salary, so it is reasonable for the Hou Ye to pay for it by himself."

Shi Bangyao seemed to feel that he had said a little too much today, and he stopped saying this.

After hearing this, Wang Zheng also tapped his fingers on the table and nodded continuously, obviously thinking about it carefully.

In fact, this matter is not only Wang Zheng's heart, but also many civil and military generals of the Shandong Army are impatient, Wang Zheng is calm and moderate, although he is in a high position, he is still clean, but they are different.

From the little people step by step to today, in order to be able to glorify the ancestors, now that this goal has been achieved, the rest is nothing more than wanting some face.

Although Wang Zheng did not have any strict orders, he was so low-key personally, how could those below be embarrassed to raise themselves in front of people, this was a matter for the whole army.

The Shandong army has reached the point where it is today, and everyone is unwilling to endure it any longer.

In any case, we must persuade Wang Zheng to send this order today, as long as this head is opened, the Shandong army will have a new look.

In order for Wang Zheng to smoothly agree to this happy idea, Li Yan carefully analyzed the current situation in the world, which can be regarded as burning the last fire.

Although the Beijing camp is known as 100,000 people, but there are only a few thousand of them who can really fight, although there are many high-ranking officials and generals such as governors, governors, and generals in Beizhili, but the soldiers and horses under his command are mostly temporary patchwork of recruits, and they can't get it on the table at all.

What's more, these soldiers and horses are still temporarily distributed in various places, and they can't pose any threat at all.

From the year of the Apocalypse to the present, the elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty have been losing almost every year, and the last remaining point has also been killed in Jinzhou City with Zu Dashou, and after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, it was a heavy blow to the entire North Zhili.

Speaking of which, the real ones that can be fought at the moment are Sun Chuanting's department, Zuo Liangyu's department, and Wu Sangui's department.

Sun Chuanting was persecuted by Chongzhen some time ago, and took tens of thousands of recruits who had just formed an army out of the pass to suppress the bandits, but he was defeated and returned.

These things, don't say that Wang Zheng and the civil and military generals of the Shandong Army understand, even ordinary people can see it, but the irony is that Chongzhen, as the emperor, can't see it.

After hearing that Li Zicheng called himself the "King of Xinshun" in Xiangyang, Chongzhen was even more furious in the Forbidden City, and at this point, he was still urging Sun Chuanting to go out of the decisive battle one after another.

But this time, Sun Chuanting really had some intention of resisting and disobeying the order, and he always stood still.

The civil and military personnel of the Shandong Army, whenever they mention this matter, they always can't help but secretly laugh at the court, and they are glad that they have a Marquis Anton who can see the situation clearly and has both civil and military skills.

Wang Zheng had nearly 100,000 soldiers, which was limited to Shandong in the past, but now he has expanded north to Cangzhou, the extreme south of Gyeonggi, and controlled Hajian Province; to the west in Henan Kaifeng and Guide to gain a firm foothold; To the south, troops were sent to Haizhou and Huai'an in Nanzhili.

From Cangzhou to the area of the Beijing Division, it is all the plains of Wangshan and dead horses, in other directions, the Shandong Army has two naval divisions, hundreds of giant warships, and can go directly to Beijing and Tianjin from the canal.

If it is transferred to Tongzhou by another route, it is almost an unstoppable situation.

For Emperor Chongzhen, the current Shandong army is undoubtedly a greedy beast watching from the sidelines, although the current performance of this beast is very pertinent, but these do not reassure Chongzhen.

In the capital of Gyeonggi, there is such a world-famous strong army stationed not far away, and it has recently begun to violate the yang and yin of the imperial court, although Chongzhen is increasingly suspicious, but he has not made any moves.

It seems that after the military admonition, everyone in the DPRK and China understands a truth, the army next to them will not blindly endure it, and what they want to do must be carefully weighed.

Everyone said that it was almost over, and Wang Zheng finally had no intention of changing the decision, so the Salt Investigation Bureau and the Salt Gang jointly took charge of the matter of collecting Caoyun Lijin, so it was decided.

......

In the past three hundred years, there are very few high-ranking officials who are really from poor families, and those who are really rich are often those who are businessmen and landlords.

The matter of the Shandong army collecting centijin along the canal was like a huge wave, which suddenly spread from Shandong to the north and south of Zhili, and even the neighboring Huguang and Shaanxi only got the news later.

Wang Zheng did not set up a name to collect money, and his name was "Li Jin".

These two words are familiar to people all over the world, and now the concierge system has been canceled in the places occupied by the Shandong army, but in other places in the Ming Dynasty, the concierge system still exists.

For example, if you want to enter the city and meet some high-ranking officials, there will always be small soldiers and porters who take gold and silver bribes privately, and this part of the money is called "centijin".

This has always been the case, but it was in the shadows, but now it's an open secret.

Wang Zheng's use of "centijin" instead of "tax" is more formal and normal, and it can also be easily accepted, after all, this thing has long been commonplace in other places.

The north-south freight has always been profitable, and it turns out that the Shandong army does not understand this, but it is obvious that they seem to have tasted the sweetness in the Cangzhou military advice not long ago, although the military advice is over, but they don't want to let go of such a big source of income at all.

The Shandong Army's move, Beizhi was under the power of Wang Zheng, but he didn't say anything, but the places in the south of the Yangtze River, which had always been rich, soon became "full of complaints".

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and this kind of complaint was not the impact of the Shandong army's collection of Caoyun's centigold on the lives of the people, but in fact, it only affected the interests of some people and aroused the anger of the Jiangnan scholars.

The main body of this group is composed of talented people who are mainly "restored to society", these people are self-assured and wealthy, they are endowed with poetry, they are proud of criticizing current politics, and they are ashamed of being reckless and martial artists.

Compared with military generals, they are more unruly in their bones.

As soon as the Shandong army issued this order, it was completely compared with the largest interest group in the late Ming Dynasty, and many people were puzzled, is Wang Zheng a fool?

For many years, why the imperial court did not collect taxes from Jiangnan, it was not that the emperor did not know the great benefits of Caoyun, but he couldn't move at all, and he didn't dare to move at all!

This is not only a difficulty in the Chongzhen Dynasty, it is considered to run through the three hundred years of history of the Ming Dynasty, when it is strong, Jiangnan seems well-behaved, and it is often ignored, but at such a time, it has become a cancer that cannot be dropped.

Six out of ten wealthy businessmen in the world are from Jiangnan, and the important ministers in the court are often from Jiangnan Shilin, and all of them are spokesmen for Jiangnan scholars.

Having said that, even those rare children of the poor family in the court are often inextricably linked with them, and they act steadily and carefully, and few of them can be left alone.

In the Apocalypse Dynasty, the eunuch Wei Zhongxian was in power, and with the acquiescence of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he used the forces of Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate and arrest the Donglin Party, and set up a so-called "Donglin Point General Record".

At that time, the original intention of the eunuch party was to satirize the Donglin scholars who could only say that they couldn't do things, but who would have thought that the people who would be recorded in the Donglin Point have now become the objects of imitation by the Donglin scholars, and they are all models of the world's scholars, which is quite ironic.

After receiving reports of commotion in the state capitals near Jiangnan, Wang Zheng's face was still calm, but his body was not calm.

Now that Wang Zhengxuan understands, these people think that they are the same as the imperial court, and they want to threaten themselves with something terrible.

It is also said that these wealthy businessmen and scholars in the south and north of the Yangtze River have been in the same spirit for a long time, and they can even resist the taxes collected by the imperial court, not to mention their own private "money".

It would be nice if they could hand it over obediently, Wang Zheng actually didn't want to make a bloody storm, but judging from the current situation, if they didn't give some color to see, they really regarded themselves as soft persimmons.

"Huh...... It's time for these people to know who the real soft persimmon is. ”

After saying this, Wang Zheng's eyes looking at the south narrowed slightly, condensing a faint killing intent.
