"Master, I haven't understood one thing, the land of the Ming Kingdom is so big, why are you so sure that breaking the capital of the Ming Kingdom will break Qin Feng's rule?

Qin Feng is the founder of the country, and attaches great importance to the reputation of benevolence and righteousness, all the things that offend people on the bright side are all carried by a small group of upright loyal ministers below, for example, that Jin Jingnan governed the corruption of the Ming State salt government and grassroots bureaucrats, killed hundreds of genuine officials before and after the Ming Kingdom, and personally supervised the establishment of a local supervision agency, almost all the civilian officials in the entire Ming Kingdom except for the military were offended, if it wasn't for Qin Feng who has been protecting Jin Jingnan, this person would have died even if he was an official and had no place to be buried! ”

In the early morning of the second day, Qin Xue'er, who had just taken a bath and was lying in Lin Haoda's arms again, continued her unfinished report work yesterday......

"Huh? How did you know this kind of news from the upper echelons of the Ming Kingdom? ”

"Of course, it was obtained from those landlords and squires who took refuge, Jin Jingnan did the things that the Ming Kingdom did as long as he had a little connection, he could know that for the common people, Jin Jingnan may just be a first-class member who often kills corrupt officials, but in the squires and officialdom, Jin Jingnan is a ruthless Yama King, relying on the grace of the former Emperor Conglonggong, he does not pay attention to the rules and acts recklessly.

I also heard that the Eagle's Nest of the Ming Kingdom has begun to infiltrate the Baoqing County area, which was reported to us privately by those squires, who saw that our Han army was really as promised, and not a single soldier went to the countryside, but they regarded our Han Dynasty as the backbone.

The squires who have tasted the taste of prestige and blessing don't want to go back to the hard days of carefully serving the officials of the Ming Kingdom and not being able to stretch out their hands at will. ”

"I didn't expect the spy system of the Ming Kingdom to be so developed, we have just taken Baoqing County less than 5 days, the eagle's nest has already sneaked in, if it weren't for the report of those snake squires, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to catch a hair, however, no matter how powerful these espionage reports are, they can't penetrate our army, they like to take root in Baoqing County, just follow them, show their feet and send people to clear it, as soon as the money and food for the squire's tribute are in place, we will set off!"

Lin Haoda replied.

"Master, shall we set out like this? I have heard that many county guards of Changyang County have joined forces with tens of thousands of county soldiers from the endangered county to encircle and suppress us, and the Ming State field camp closest to Changyang County has already been opened, and its traces are unknown. ”

"No matter how much the Ming army is mobilized, can it still beat machine gun shells? No matter how many armies he came to encircle and suppress, I only attacked all the way to the capital of the Ming Kingdom, I don't have to rush to attack the city, on the contrary, I want to give Qin Feng enough time to mobilize troops and horses, and then personally march against my Han army, it is best to come to the front of the army to fight, I want to see if the body of the grandmaster is really invulnerable!

Without the development of gunpowder weapons, the Ming Kingdom is also the biggest shortcoming of the world, no matter how high the cold weapon technology tree climbs, under the gunpowder-driven killing weapon, it is in vain, even if the strength of the warriors in this world is higher than that of the earth, as long as it is not out of the flesh mortal womb, a row of bullets is still a flesh and blood gourd. ”

"Master, even if we defeat the main force of the Ming State and capture the capital of Yuejing, the Ming Kingdom has other vast territories, and with the policy of the Ming State hiding troops for the people, it is not difficult to mobilize endless cannon fodder to consume with us."

After hearing this, Lin Haoda got up and came to the table, picked up a seized Ming banknote, which was painted with delicate anti-counterfeiting patterns, and some responsible watermarks, with a hundred taels of handwriting printed in the center.

This is the paper money of the entire continent that is now popular in the Ming Empire!

Qin Feng has fought wars every year since the founding of the People's Republic of China, not only relying on the plunder after the victory and the rich taxes after the reform, but also the Ming State's ability to support the army to fight year after year, which is inseparable from this small banknote.

The banknotes of the Ming Kingdom issued by Qin Feng not only completely replaced real money and silver in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, but even the two countries of Qi and Chu used this kind of banknotes in large quantities.

It is understandable that Chu used Ming banknotes because of Min Ruoxi's relationship, but Qi, as an enemy country, could not put an end to the circulation of Ming banknotes, which shows how terrible the means of economic penetration of the Ming State were!

It can be said that Qin Feng can be invincible on the battlefield, and the economic penetration of Ming banknotes is inseparable.

He was surprised to find that before the Han army invaded, the banknotes of the Ming Kingdom not only did not depreciate due to the flood of banknotes, but also appeared the rare phenomenon of 'paper is more expensive than silver'.

Under the means of deliberately preserving the value of paper money in the Ming Kingdom, due to the prosperity of commerce and trade, there was a shortage of easy-to-carry paper money, and there was often a phenomenon that one or two banknotes could be exchanged for more than one or two silver in the black market!

It is precisely because of this trend that the people of the Ming Kingdom are convinced of the purchasing power of paper money, and all the silver in their hands is exchanged for paper money, and there is not even much silver reserves in the branch of the Daming Bank in Baoqing County, which was seized by the Han army, to cope with the possible run!

In addition to the materials in the treasury, most of the money obtained by Lin Haoda in the capture of Baoqing County was this kind of banknote with the number of silver in his hand......

Even after the Han army occupied Baoqing County, Ming banknotes were still circulating in the hands of many common people and squires!

However, Lin Haoda did not prohibit the circulation of Ming banknotes, but his own army put an end to the collection of this kind of Ming banknotes, and all the seized Ming banknotes were used by Lin Haoda to purchase practical materials at a price lower than face value......

This made Lin Haoda sigh more than once about the strong purchasing power of Ming banknotes.

Lin Haoda picked up the banknote and shook it in front of the naked Qin Xue'er: "Because of this piece of paper, Qin Feng must not let Yuejing City, the capital of the Ming Kingdom, be captured by us!"

Paper money is certainly a legitimate weapon to plunder the people's fat and ointment, but it also has a fatal flaw, the purchasing power of paper money is not because it is worth this price, just a piece of anti-counterfeiting printing made of more delicate paper, how can it be worth a hundred taels?

This one hundred taels of Ming banknotes added together, the cost is less than one tael of silver, but it is this exquisite piece of paper that costs less than one tael of silver, but it can be exchanged for ten thousand taels or more worth of physical goods from the hands of the people, it can be said that as long as the banknotes are strong, it is difficult for the finances of the Ming court to really collapse.

This is the biggest advantage of the Ming Kingdom, but it is also the biggest weakness of the Ming Kingdom, this era is not the earth where paper money is rampant, the value of the Ming State banknotes is linked to the national reputation of the Ming Kingdom, and the national reputation depends on the strength of its country, you say, how many people are willing to continue to use the paper money printed by the Ming State that can not even keep the national capital? ”
