"Oh? The imperial court first sent Shaanxi governor Chen Qiyu to lead troops into Datong, but even the people and troops were all taken down, and the court was not angry, and now Xiong Wencan was sent to change the governor of Xuanda, and sent Wang Pu to be the general soldier of Datong, this is to seize my power! ”

Taiyuan, Shanxi, now in the temporary residence of the Qin Palace, Li Jing looked at the secret report sent back from the capital, and was immediately happy.

"King Qin, if we don't send someone to kill these two people halfway, it will be considered to calm the anger of the people, otherwise when they converge with Zhang Tinggong, it will be a disaster. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Gao Xun is now the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, but he is much more active in Datong than before, after all, at that time, there was Li Jing's army in the south to peep, and the Mongolian army in the west to commit crimes, and he may lose his official position at any time.

And Li Jing respects him quite well, but whenever the Qin Palace's deliberations are discussed, most of them call people to summon him and arrange a chair, although the rank is not high, but he has also mixed into the edge of the core group, if Li Jing ascends to the Ninth Five-Year Plan in the future, he will have to be taken out as a model, after all, he is also the highest person in the military general group, who originally belonged to the Ming Army, isn't it?

"It's not proper, now that we are openly subordinate to the imperial court, then it is not appropriate to tear our faces, so as not to attract the hatred of the people of the world, the imperial court should be handed over to the rogue to overthrow, let's just sit back and enjoy its achievements, and even I suggest that we don't even fight the Xuanfu, just spend money to corrode it, and pull the people and horses over secretly."

Li Denggao is now in a high position, and his horizons have also been broadened, as the long history of the King of Qin, he has actually ranked as the second person in Li Jing's group, he himself is not in charge of military power, but his son Li Mao is the governor of the army, and Li Mao is in the faction in the army, and Li Fugui, the commander of the Yamen of the Shanxi Metropolitan Division, and Chen Da, the governor of the pro-guard army, belong to the same family, and his position has been stabilized.

But he knows very well that these rights can't keep him, if Li Jing has a better candidate to replace him one day, the army alone can't keep him, except for Li Mao, no one else will die to protect him, and even if Li Jing doesn't want his life, then even Li Mao won't die to protect him, so he needs to be hard to strike iron, and he should learn something new.

"Because of this, we shouldn't do anything on the surface, let Xiong Wencan and Wang Pu come over, Zhang Tinggong wants to be his court governor, and let him do it, only send troops to trap Datong Mansion, so that the military orders of these three people can't be passed on, see what they can do!"

"This is a great goodness, the lord, the same place, with an army stationed for a long time, to deter the Xuanfu, so that they should not have the slightest movement, secretly collect the intelligence of the guards, for listening, once the matter starts, out of the Xuanfu to go to the dense clouds to the capital, the world can be pacified~!"

Wei Bo'an is now holding the post of governor of Shanxi, although the imperial court does not recognize, but his actual rights are not reduced by half a point, and even in essence, he is the governor of Shanxi with the greatest power since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, because the Yamen of Shanxi's political envoy has been revoked.

The governor of the province is ranked from the second grade, under the copy of the six departments, each room set up a platform, all obey the order of the governor, and the prefect of the county is appointed by the Qin Wangfu, the same six rooms under the head, appointed by the governor of Shanxi Yamen, in essence, the formation of the governor and the six rooms and the local prefect of the county, and the situation of governance.

Then the military superintendent was transferred to the locality, forming a system of Shanxi according to the inspection envoy yamen, responsible for supervising the impeachment of officials, secretly, there are also secret agents of the Shen Cewei to collect local information reports, report to the central government, one bright and one dark, so that the local will not be out of touch.

As for military affairs, the original capital division yamen has changed the original military household to the current local garrison camps in various prefectures, with the principle of different garrisons in the same state, such as recruiting troops from Daizhou to garrisoning in Lanzhou, dividing the army to cultivate fields, paying 30% of taxes, and the rest are all owned by the individual sergeants, and the Qin Wangfu will give additional military salaries every year, which is enough to ensure the morale of the army.

"Lord, it's just those who we have imprisoned, shouldn't we let them now?"

Li Fugui is the commander of the Shanxi Prefecture, and he is in charge of guarding these original officials of the imperial court, and at this time, he came up and asked suspiciously,

"After all, it has been closed for a long time, and a lot of food has been wasted, and Zhang Fengyi is clamoring to go back to Beijing, what should the officials and others do, and ask King Qin to show me."

"Zhang Fengyi, it's appropriate for this person to put him back, but it's a pity that he can't be used by me."

Li Jing sighed and said, before adding,

"If Zhang Zongheng wants to go together, he can also be released, but the rest of the captured generals are like tigers, fierce as tigers, etc., and they can't be put back, if these people go back, they can't be mobilized by the imperial court to attack us one day, although they are not afraid, but it is a trouble in total."

Just kidding, these people are all handsome in the late Ming Dynasty, and leading the troops to fight is also a good hand, otherwise they would not be captured in the battle with themselves, just say that they led the troops to kill on the battlefield, and they saw their bravery, and others, such as Zuo Liangyu, who were selfish and cautious, had already followed Xu Dingchen to Henan, where could they still take care of the battle.

"The lower official obeys the order~!"

Li Fugui has the bottom in his heart, and he knows what to do, the former secretary of the imperial court's military department, the governor of the three sides and the governor of Xuanda, stayed, got in the way, killed and killed, and wasted food to raise, now that Li Jing has been called the king, he is not much afraid of the court, and it is not unacceptable to let them go back.

"You still have something to mention today, and if not, the lonely king will have to deal with other things."

Finally came back from the front line, and moved to Taiyuan non-stop, settled down, and was accompanied by a beautiful wife at home, and had nothing to do, just going home, Li Jing yawned and asked,

Seeing his situation, the rest of the people didn't say much, but Wei Bo stepped forward with peace of mind, "King Qin, outside Zhangjiakou, Duohao Shang Junjie, most of them live in Shanxi and other places, recently our soldiers and horses have been attacking everywhere, these people have letters and exchanges, and their words are full of uneasiness, I want to ask King Qin to be accommodating and allow their families to move to live outside the mouth." ”

"A merchant in Zhangjiakou? Isn't it Jin Shang? ”

Li Jing stopped wanting to leave, his expression was stunned, at this time, the Jin merchants could not talk about selling the country thoroughly, after all, Houjin had not completely demonstrated the strength to swallow the Ming Dynasty, at most they were taking Houjin to loot the Ming Dynasty's silver, and sending some war preparation materials to Houjin, collaborating with the enemy was counted.

"They've all found your way?"

"Wechen just don't know what to do, so I asked the King of Qin to decide, these merchants, go north to Taiyuan, along the way with gold, silver and copper money to bribe the soldiers guarding the garrison, were all taken down, sent to the Shanxi governor Yamen, which carried a lot of silver tickets, all of them are Shanxi bills of exchange, named and named to find Weichen to be accommodating, Weichen did not dare to slacken, all of these were offered, and did not dare to have the slightest greed."

As he spoke, Wei Bo'an took out a thick stack of silver bills from his arms, all of which were bills of exchange from Shanxi merchants in various silver villages across the country, the smallest of which were ten taels and the largest were one hundred taels, which was as many as a hundred, which showed that these people were also willing to go out for their ancestors' family business.

It's a pity that when he met Wei Bo'an, who wanted to get ahead under Li Jing, where was he willing to accept it, let alone take care of them, but he strictly ordered the local government to find such people, and he must be strictly monitored, and he also sent people to coordinate with the Shanxi Prefecture Yamen to send troops to surround the families of several big businessmen, just waiting for Li Jing's order.

"Hmm~ These people have a rich family~! All send silver like this, the whole army of the lonely king, it is when there is a shortage of silver taels, these people come just in time,"

Li Jing pondered for a while, although the Jin merchants betrayed the country during this period, but they couldn't stand up to the fact that they had silver, if they could use their families to blackmail each other in exchange for a large amount of silver for military purposes, it would also be very good.

Don't look at the Qin army is now strong and strong, sitting on more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, but the three first-class elite armies and the five field armies with 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the more than 50,000 second-line garrisons left behind in the local area, once the recruitment is completely full, this military expenditure will be huge.

Based on the monthly salary of one tael of silver for one regular soldier, there are 200,000 people in eight armies, and there are 60,000 regular soldiers fighting in two to three, and this expenditure is 720,000 taels a year, and the rest of the auxiliary troops and local garrisons are also worth one million a year.

After all, in terms of taxes, 30 percent of the annual tax revenue seems to be a lot, but to support local officials, to relocate military households, to take care of the families of soldiers, the remaining is less than 20 percent, and these two percent are handed over to the grain depots in various places to be used as military supplies and national needs.

However, taxes alone are now unable to sustain the needs of more than 200,000 troops, even if it is reduced by half, it is not enough to maintain, and the biggest source of supporting so many troops now is because the old wealth of the landlords in Shanxi and Shaanxi and other places has obtained their life savings, except for the antique jade that cannot be exchanged for money for the time being.

The actual grain and gold and silver harvest is not much, and this includes all the property of the eight princes, which can only support the whole army and the local government for three years, and if it is more, it will be in arrears, and once the war starts, whether it is the damage to the weapon, or the bullets of the artillery fire, the casualties and pensions of the generals, it is an additional big expense, and these money cannot be made up.

And the income of pancreas and bronze mirrors, a year, is only one or two million taels, Qin Wangfu can get it, only less than sixty percent, most of this silver is invested in army construction, constantly rushing to other places to buy food and other war materials, there is not much left, so Li Jing is short of money, at least for the time being, before getting Huguang and Jiangnan and other places, the entire Qin army is in a state of overspending and cannot be self-sufficient.

"I'll leave this matter to you, you can ask for someone, but you have to exchange it for silver, their ancestral property and mansion can be kept, in a word, just do things if you give silver, and if you can't get the money, let their family and ancestral property compensate, understand?!"
