Chapter 507: The Profiteer's Face

"More than 30 years ago, the battle to aid North Korea was the battle of Wenlu Qingchang that you talked about, and our Ming army suffered more than 30,000 casualties in Korea, you know this. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Zhao Lie looked at Sakai Tadashi.

Sakai Tadashi nodded, and he couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, the powerful Ming Dynasty was in Korea at that time, and the war with the Japanese was just a draw, which the Japanese people are still extremely proud of.

The smugness hidden in Sakai Tadashi's eyes did not escape Zhao Lie's eyes, Zhao Lie sneered, very good, let's settle the score, I will let you cry in the future,

"According to the fifty taels of silver for each soldier, this is nearly two million taels of silver, in addition, at that time, the Ming Dynasty had to spend one million taels of silver for the Korean War every year, and in recent years, the Taicang of the Ming Dynasty has dried up. The amount of silver was five million taels. ”

Zhao Lie listed these numbers one by one, and Sakai Tadashi's mouth was already closed, this number was too huge.

"These are not made up by the general, and they are recorded in the account books of the Ming Household Department,"

Looking at Sakai Tadashi's surprise, Zhao Lie pursed his lips and mentioned it, this is really not Zhao Lie's nonsense, but the truth, the battle to aid Korea emptied all the bottom of the Tai warehouse that Zhang Ju was not easy to accumulate.

This is also the reason why the Ming court clearly knew that the military town in the north was tight, but there was no money and food to reorganize the army, which was also the reason for the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchens.

More than ten years after the war to aid Korea, this evil effect was completely revealed, the northern captives in the north and the Jiannu in the northeast were extremely rampant, and some chieftains in the southwest also began to rebel, causing great turmoil in Yunnan, Guichuan.

At that time, due to the large number of soldiers lost, the soldiers of Liao Town in Daming Dynasty were reduced by nearly half compared with before the aid of Korea. Demonic reversal.

Therefore, the Korean War completely changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty, and the culprit was undoubtedly the Japanese people.

Sakai Tadashi has been in office for many years, and he is very familiar with these general affairs, and he believes that the casualties and pension silver of the Ming Dynasty are not wrong, and the silver of the Ming court is not wrong.

This is similar to him, and there will not be too much difference between the top and bottom. The commander of the Den Lai Du Si on the other side did not deceive him.

But even these are less than seven million taels of silver, and tens of millions of compensations will come.

As for not recognizing the reparations for the Korean War, then defeating the Ming army, since it has been defeated and lost, it is meaningless not to admit it, and now it is the Ming people besieging Edo and the great generals, is it useful not to admit it, but it is good that the Ming people can reason with you, at least they can talk about the amount of compensation that will be reduced.

"What Lord Zhao said is not true. Not to mention the pension money, but it is not yet known how much money and grain the Ming Kingdom can spend,"

Sakai Tadashi shook his head and said,

"That's it, it's only seven million taels of silver, which is far from what the adults said."

In fact, the silver judgment of the Japanese people is similar to the exchange of silver of the Ming Dynasty, so Sakai Tadashi does not think that the seven million taels of the Ming Dynasty can be worth the ten million silver judgment of the Japanese Kingdom.

"Lord Sakai has been in office for a long time, but I know that the money and grain lent by the money bank are all beneficial to money."

Zhao Lie said slowly,

"These seven million taels have allowed the Japanese people to live a good life for more than 30 years. The country can be described as calm and very smooth, but the people of the Ming Dynasty are struggling with the fire and water without the seven million taels of silver, and even when the flood and drought come, the imperial court cannot help,"

Zhao Lie had tears in his eyes at this time. Arch your hand to the west,

"Seven million taels of silver, of course, you said that it is not worth tens of millions now, hum, not because the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom are neighbors with a strip of water, this time it is a small judgment of 14 million silver."

Zhao Lie said and slammed the table.

Peat. This is still considered money, you can't imagine such shamelessness with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Sakai Tadashi is depressed, he didn't expect that the young and loyal general on the other side will have all kinds of crooked reasoning as soon as he opens his mouth, which is simply shameless.

Of course, the requirements of the Ming people are all based on their force, you can ignore it, wave your sleeves away, and fight again.

The question is what kind of army does the shogunate still have, and even if there is, how to break such a huge elite all-armored iron cavalry as the Ming army, the combat power is invincible, and the defeat is lost, only to bow down and talk, and if you can't talk about it, you have to talk about it.

"Lord Zhao laughed, how can you include the profits, this is a major military matter, and the business affairs cannot be put on the table."

Tadashi Sakai retorted.

"Haha, Lord Sakai is bad," Zhao Lie shook his head, the status of merchants in East Asia, whether it was the Ming Dynasty, Korea, or the Wa Kingdom, was extremely low, as if it was a shame to negotiate business, Sakai Tadashi also shirked this sentence, which was extremely ridiculous.

"Controlling a country, without hindering revenue expenditure, maintaining a surplus in case of contingencies, this is the foundation of a country, the Ming Dynasty's finances are exhausted, and they are in arrears every year, then it will be unpredictable, if it is like this, it will not be long in life, how similar to this is with businessmen, how can you be ashamed to talk about it."

Zhao Lie stood up and looked at Sakai Tadashi, cutting the railway,

"The amount of this indemnity is discretionary, and it has not been mentioned that the losses caused by the Japanese raiding and harassing the Ming coast in the past hundred years, burning, killing and looting my Ming soldiers and civilians have taken care of the face of Tokugawa Iemitsu, so it can only be increased and not decreased."

Sakai Tadashi almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, okay, first thirty years, and then a hundred years, you wouldn't include the Tang Dynasty and my country in the battle at the mouth of the three rivers.

Spit and complain, things still have to be talked about, people in their sixties have passed the time to be willful.

"It's a shame that the indemnity is a small sentence of tens of millions of silver, but the shogunate has no financial resources to pay it."

Since it can't be refuted or can't refute, then shirk is also a skill No, Sakai Tadashi said that it is a bit of a scoundrel, yes, even if I owe you so much money and food, my shogunate can't afford it, can't you wait for it, is it useful, so, let's talk about some actual amounts, the shogunate can afford it.

"Haha, although the country of the U is only three large islands, and the property is scarce, but there are quite a lot of gold and silver mountains, enough to support most of this appropriation, and Ben will reluctantly give you the shogunate a reduction of eight million taels of compensation, which can be repaid in thirty years, and every Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty million taels of silver, thirty years is nine million taels of silver, and the extra one million taels is of course profit."

Zhao Lie began to calculate this account for Sakai Tadashi again, as soon as this statement came out, Sakai Tadashi felt that the sky was thundering, peat, and you can still calculate like you, of course, thirty thousand silver sentences every Chinese New Year's Eve, the shogunate gritted his teeth and could afford it, but the thought of thirty years is a headache, this is the rhythm that makes the shogunate thirty years, no, fifty years also want to turn over.

"The remaining two million taels will be filled with the women of the Wa Kingdom, and I will send someone to inquire about the price of the maids and maids of the Wa Kingdom, that is, five or six silver judgments, so that as long as the shogunate hands over 400,000 young women to our army, it is enough."

The reason why Zhao Lie wanted these women was because there was still a lack of young women in Jeju in North China, especially the Denglai refugees who landed later, like the Liao people at the beginning, were mostly young and strong, which was also determined by the troubled times, and it was easy for the strong and self-protective to survive, while the women and children had a hard time surviving.

Beihua estimates that there is a gap of tens of thousands, and Denglai is also lacking a lot, after all, women are also scarce resources, and many poor soldiers are single.

Since Zhao Lie has the ambition to win the world, then after pacifying the place and relocating the people, like Beihua Denglai, women are still scarce, these women are really not many, not to mention that it is impossible to transport the Ming Dynasty together, one is that the shogunate also has to be closed, and the other capacity is also a problem, and it is impossible to complete the transportation within a year or two.

Zhao Lie said this, Sakai Tadashi felt that the sky was rolling, Nima, are you sure that you are the general of the Ming Army, he sees Zhao Lie as a profiteer.

And it's a mixture of usury profiteers and human traffickers, you are also a member of the Ming court, phew, the word is the first, it's really unseemly.

Slander is slander, Sakai Tadashi thought about it, and found that this woman was really good as money, and this Ming general had the face of a profiteer, and it seemed that he was unwilling to give in.

If a woman can replace part of the indemnity, the pressure on the shogunate can indeed be greatly reduced, but this is really a matter that cannot be put on the table, and it must be carried out secretly.

Of course, this price can't be calculated according to the five or six silver judgments that the Ming people said, you must know that this is the price of a little girl in Japan, that is, the price of half a person, and you have to raise it when you buy it back, and you have to train it, so the price is not high.

If it is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid, the price has to be doubled, and if there are some specialties such as reading, learning words, playing the piano and painting, it is ten times possible.

This price is not suitable, and it has to be negotiated, and in an instant, Sakai Tadashi was taken to the ditch by Zhao Lie, and the two began to argue about how to calculate the price of the woman.

made Zhao Da and Yu Dabao on the side stunned, this is okay, my family is really omnipotent.

The two argued for half an hour, and finally agreed that the price should be calculated according to the nine silver judgments, Zhao Lie's reason is very strong, these Japanese women are not tall, I am afraid that the child will be born in the future.

As soon as these words came out, Sakai Tadashi was almost going to kneel for Zhao Lie, peat, who was sitting opposite, it was simply faceless, skinless, and without a lower limit.

Zhao Lie hasn't finished speaking, these women are all widows, they can't understand the language, and they have to find someone to teach the language, which is also a big trouble, otherwise how to live in the Ming Kingdom and how to teach children.

Okay, Sakai Tadashi was defeated again, yes, although what this Ming General said is crooked, but that's also reason, you don't recognize it, he decided on this matter, if you are not satisfied, you can pay with money.

It's a pity that there is no money to settle the account like this, so in the end, the shogunate has to hand over nearly 200,000 women.

In the end, Sakai Tadashi rolled around and begged bitterly, that is, to let Zhao Lie reduce some of it, and the reason was also very strong, if he didn't reduce it, he really couldn't go back.

Zhao Lie gritted his teeth and agreed very painfully, if there is no arrears in the first twenty-nine years, the arrears in the last year can be reduced, but if they are in arrears, it is double the payment. (To be continued.) )
