Chapter 988: Ma Shiying's Response



Qian Qianyi's words when he left were ruthless enough, indeed, he is now relying on constantly betraying the interests of the imperial court and borrowing Yingyang from Sun Yuan, so as to support the Hongguang regime. /。 The update is so fast.

If he doesn't do it this time, not to mention other expenses of the imperial court, even the officials' salaries won't be paid.

Dongnan is rich, but the burden of the country is just as heavy. The four towns in Jiangbei have added millions of Shangzuoliang 'jade' and local armies from all over the country, and these people are all warlords who see money. The army of the Ming Dynasty, especially the field troops, can be said to be fed with money. Whenever there was a war, the troops had to pull out silver when they set out, and every time they went to a place, they had to give the labor army silver. During the battle, you have to give a reward of silver. After the war, it had to be increased.

Of course, all this money was 'gotten' by the officers in the end, and few of them ended up in the hands of the non-commissioned officers.

And, of course, given money, the troops may not necessarily win the battle. For example, the Guanning Army in those years 'spent' military spending was half of the state's financial revenue, and it lost its city and land every year. But if you don't give money, people won't even give you a chance to defeat the battle, and you won't send troops at all.

Huang Degong is also a person who listens to Lao Ma's words, the problem is that Huang Degong is not a person, he represents more than 100,000 people in Lu Fengjun, and is a representative of an interest group, and his will may not be the will of the group sometimes. And the will of the group, even he, the chief military officer, could not resist.

If the town and town armies do not pay their salaries, they may not know when they will be reversed. This is a huge expenditure comparable to the salary of the year, which is enough to eat up the two Huai salt taxes.

What's more, as more and more officials from the north fled to Nanjing, these people had to be granted official positions and settled, which was also a lot of money. [Dancing eBook.]

Seeing that the day is about to come, if Qian Qianyi clapps his hands, Nanjing City is still not moved?

He was sure that no one would dare to pick up this rotten spy, so he was not afraid of Ruan Dacheng's threat that he would take off his position as cabinet leader

"Qian Qianyi, damn it!" When everyone dispersed and only Ma Shiying was left in the room, Ruan Dacheng scolded fiercely: "Yaocao, Qian Qianyi, this villain is actually playing tricks behind his back, you and I will go to the road to impeach this old thing and drive him out of the court." Unexpectedly, I can't imagine that Qian Qianyi actually gave us such a hand, which is already a deep disappointment to the Son of Heaven. When it comes to the excerpt, I think Your Majesty will definitely be approved. In this way, it is also good to knock on the mountain and shake the tiger, and eradicate the noise on the left part of the court. ”

"Qian Muzhai is not to worry." Ma Shiying's face was still calm, with a hint of disdain between his eyebrows: "He betrayed the East 'Gate' back then and became the laughing stock of the world, he is already a lonely person, and he can't afford to make any waves." ”

Ruan Dacheng: "The matter of the household department...... Not only is the official's money about to be issued, but also this time to conquer the left, Huang Hushan has already released his words, if he doesn't see the silver, he will never be able to go to the river, but how is it good? ”

"Don't worry about the silver, the old man has his own opinions." Ma Shiying thought for a while: "You can let Yangzhou add another 100,000 salt, so that you can get one million taels of silver immediately, and this difficulty will be over." And ......"

He stood up and walked slowly a few steps in the duty room with his hands behind his back: "The military situation is like fire, and Anqing cannot afford to lose." It really didn't work, so he directly sent someone to send 20,000 yuan of salt to Huang Degong as his opening silver. Let Long Wen go, he is a good person who makes good connections everywhere, Huang Degong replied. ”

In ancient China, precious metals such as gold and silver could be directly used as currency, and in the era of material shortages, bulk materials such as cloth, grain, and salt could be directly used as hard currency, especially in the era of war and chaos.

The Ming Dynasty implemented a system of official salt sales, and the annual salt production was limited, and the price has always been 'strong', and in remote areas, you may not be able to buy this kind of scarce material even if you have money.

"This is a good idea!" Ruan Dacheng excitedly high-fived with his fist, but he suddenly remembered something: "Yaocao, it can't be done." The two Huai salts have their own fixed amount every year, and the imperial court will also sell a certain amount of salt according to the output. If you suddenly add 100,000 yuan now, and you won't be able to take out so much salt at that time, what will you use to fill the extra part? Moreover, I don't know how many families are standing behind the salt merchants in Yangzhou, so touching their interests, how can you and I gain a foothold in the court in the future. The so-called, cut off people's financial routes, never die! You and I can't afford this risk. ”

Ma Shiying gave a rare wry smile: "If you can't stand it, you have to bear it, what else can you do?" Once the left counterattack enters Nanjing, when the time comes, the Qing monarch will be on the side, but you and I will be clear, then it will really be a dead and annihilated, and there will be no return. The two evils are taken lightly, and they have to be done

。 ”

Ruan Dacheng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Qian Qianyi, old horseman!" ”

Ma Shiying comforted him: "Yuanhai, you don't have to worry, although this is a big leak, it is not so difficult to make up for it." ”

Ruan Dacheng: "Please also ask." ”

Ma Shiying: "Speaking of which, this is still an inspiration from Yingyang in Yangzhou Town to the old man. ”

"Yingyang, what's the matter?"

Ma Shiying stood still: "When Sun Yuan first started casting Yingyang, it was ten percent silver. Later, because of the good credit of the sea trade in Yangzhou Town, Sun Yuan gradually reduced the silver content in Yingyang, and now sixty percent is considered good. The ratio with silver is still on the basis of exchanging one tael for one tael, and every year, Sun Yuan can eat enough just by eating these four cents of money interest. Others saw that Sun Yuan's sea trade came quickly, but in fact, this was his most profitable business. But the common people accepted Yingyang, without him, the word credit is also! ”

"Because everyone knows that Yingyang was mortgaged by Yangzhou Town with the profits of sea trade. The salt quotation issued by the imperial court is to use two Huai salt as a credit, and it is much better than Yingyang's credit to say that the credit is much better than Yingyang. ”

"As far as the old man knows, if Sun Yuan's annual sea trade profit is ten taels, he dares to issue fifteen yuan of Eagle Ocean, anyway, not everyone will use Eagle Ocean to exchange for silver from him."

"What we are doing now is to learn from his method and move around, dragging the salt that needs to be cashed back little by little, dragging it for a few months, and then diluting the extra part of the issue."

"Gao Ming, really Gao Ming!" Ruan Dacheng 'pumped' a breath of cold air: "I admire it so much!" ”

He became excited again: "That's good, that's good, let's immediately send someone to urge Huang Degong to send troops." Money...... Humility, can no longer stay, must be driven out of the court. ”

"Qian Muzhai really can't stay any longer, I have to think of a way to let him return to his hometown to take care of him, and it is best for His Majesty to come forward." Ma Shiying came up with such a wonderful method, and he was also proud in his heart, and said: "Yuanhai, Yuanhai, you have also read the sage books all your life, where have you raised all these years of tranquility." When encountering something, you can't be in a hurry, you can always come up with a way to deal with it. ”

"Hehe, I was also angry with Qian Qianyi, this surnamed Qian doesn't know where he got the courage to go against you and me."
