When Zhao Lie and Li Mingyu came to Zhao Lie's public house in the official office, Zhao Meng had been waiting for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Big brother, Xu Hong and Tang Xianwen haven't arrived yet." Zhao Lie asked.

"Second brother, every time you have to be as detailed as possible for their data requirements, these two are still checking it, otherwise, there will be mistakes and omissions in front of you, but you will lose face." Zhao Meng said with a smile.

Zhao Lie laughed and said, verifying internal affairs, the situation handed in below must be true and accurate, otherwise it is all false numbers, what is the point of a few people verifying.

"Mr. Li, the official remembers that Miss Li is also twenty, so let's get married soon." Zhao Lie was also idle, and when he thought that he had just seen Li Lin, he asked casually.

Li Mingyu looked at Zhao Lie with a complicated mind, damn, it's not your kid's fault, and his heart is depressed. "My wife told her a few family affairs, but the child didn't want to marry early."

"Well, it's good to get married late, I can accompany you more, which means that Li Lin can accompany you." Zhao Lie had no awareness that his family was the culprit, and said casually according to the views of later generations. Twenty-somethings are still a big kid in the next generation, and it's a fun time.

I'll go, Li Mingyu's rubbing fire, why are you still talking here, I haven't married at the age of twenty, I'm an old girl, and I'm still with us, so I got married quickly, and I didn't have to worry about it.

"It's better to get married as soon as possible, they are all twenty-year-old girls, and if they don't marry out, there won't be many good marriages." Lao Li's face was a little dark.

Zhao Meng looked at Mr. Li a little resentful of Zhao Lie, and looked at the second brother a little unkindly, could it... Zhao Meng's heart moved.

Zhao Lie was also stunned when he heard Li Mingyu's words, and then he remembered that in this era of getting married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, twenty years old is indeed an old girl, and it is not easy to find a suitable marriage at that time. Because most of the men who are in the right family are also married at the age of twenty.

Zhao Lie shook his head, alas, it was too early to get married, and it was too dangerous to have children in their teens, but it was relieved to think that the average survival age of the ancients was less than forty years old.

"Meet your lordship." Xu Hong and Tang Xianwen entered the room and bowed to Zhao Lie.

"Excuse me." Zhao Lie asked the two to sit down. "It's been a long time since this official left. Today's gathering is to understand the general affairs of various places. Xu Hong, you talk about it first. ”

Now Xu Hong is the big housekeeper of Shidao, and all the things in Beihua and Jeju are gathered here, so they report to Zhao Meng and Zhao Lie in different categories.

"My lord, the letter sent by Lord Wanji of Beihua says that by March this year, Beihua had developed a total of more than 4,869,100 mu, resettled more than 317,450 Liao people, and reserved 1.5 million mu of undeveloped land for retired soldiers. Wan Daren estimates that there are more than 2 million unexplored land in the North China Plain of North China. However, most of them are not close to official roads and rivers, lack of water sources or impassable roads, and the cost of development has increased greatly. Xu Hong looked at Zhao Lie.

"Well, these acres will be set aside for later." Now the resettlement of Dingkou has been basically completed.

As for the future when new refugees enter, in addition, Shisheng and the northern plain are also in Zhao Lie's planning, Zhao Lie does not plan to open up at this time, after all, the manpower has been exhausted. Even if there is manpower in the future, it will be leaning towards Tokachi and other places.

"In addition, Wan Daren is blessed with reinforcements from the Beihua Shipyard Economic State Shipyard. It has been possible to build a patrol ship of less than 200 tons, and I hope that my lord will allow Beihua to build 30 patrol ships to ensure the safety of Beihua, after all, Beihua is surrounded by the sea, and the people and the Anui people are all connected with the Japanese state by sea. Xu Hong continued.

"How are the finances of our army?" Instead of immediately acceding to Wanji's request, Cho Yeol inquired about Jeju's finances and where the battleship came from without treasury money.

"Your Excellency. Lord Ma Tao sent someone to report 10 days ago that Jeju now has a total of more than 18,900 taels of gold, more than 328,000 taels of silver, 36,000 gold coins, and more than 178,000 silver coins. More than 300 catties of gemstones of various colors are estimated at about 300,000 taels of silver, but according to what the adults said, 300,000 taels of silver are reserved for war reserves, and 100,000 taels of silver are reserved for disaster relief, which can surplude more than 18,900 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, more than 36,000 gold coins, more than 78,000 silver coins, and more than 300 catties of gemstones. Due to the large amount of money spent by the Jeju shipyard and the money spent on the purchase of rice grain, this money and grain could not be used. Xu Hong said.

Zhao Lie frowned, now that the Liao people have been settled, except for the more than 10,000 Liao people who arrived at the end and have to provide for them, the others are all self-reliant, and the finance has also unloaded the big burden of more than 30,000 taels per Chinese New Year's Eve.

In just a few years, Zhao Lie has spent more than one million dollars of money and grain, but the Jeju shipyard has now become a big gold swallower, in the past two years, 20 800-ton warships have been built, 20 Tang-class warships have been produced, and more than 30 160-ton patrol ships have been built, which has cost more than 600,000 taels of silver.

This is only the expenditure of the bare ship, and the expenditure of heavy artillery, personnel, armor, baggage maintenance and other expenses cost a total of nearly one million taels of silver, and now the total number of officers and soldiers of the army and naval division is more than 24,000, and there are nearly 100 large and small Galen warships, which have become a real gold-swallowing monster. Moreover, the shipyard is still being built, which means that the silver in the treasury will be greatly lost.

"Beihua has more than 4,500 taels of gold and 87,110 taels of silver, but starting this year, Beihua is estimated to have 1.6 million mu of land that can collect field endowments, and it is estimated that there are more than 60,000 taels of silver in silver, and Beihua's expenditure can be self-sufficient. In addition, the Beihua Bank has a total of more than 110,000 gold coins, more than 800,000 silver coins, and more than 2.9 million copper coins, and next year Beihuatian will reach 150,000 taels of silver, and the next year it can reach more than 230,000 taels of silver, which can be returned to the Jeju General Treasury, which is also the reason why Wan Daren proposed to build ships. The money can be borrowed from Beihua Quanye Bank this year and will be repaid next year. Xu Hong came one by one.

Hearing Xu Hong's detailed description, Zhao Meng, Li Mingyu and others all showed relaxed smiles, and now even the biggest burden, Beihua, will be self-sufficient this year, so what are you worried about.

"No, even if Beihua has a surplus, it can't be moved lightly." Zhao Lie shook his head. Think about it.

Zhao Meng, Li Mingyu, Xu Hong, Tang Xianwen and others looked at each other,

"My lord, my business in Jeju is very prosperous, and I can earn more than 300,000 taels of silver every month, although there is not much money in Jeju now, but it can be saved in a few months. It is said that Beihua can have the financial resources to build ships to guard the coast. Tang Xianwen asked, and now these gray incomes are in his hands.

"Xu Hong, this official intends to start attacking Shisheng and Daonan this year and next year, and unify Beihua, in addition. The official decided to raise the war reserve to 2 million taels of silver in case of contingencies, which means that most of Jeju's revenue will be sealed, and Jeju will have to live a hard life for several years with the remaining salaries of the army and the administration and the consumption of the shipyard. In the future, Beihua can only rely on itself to build ships and attack Shikatsu and Daonan, and now Beihua's money and food are far from sufficient. Zhao Lie explained.

A few people nodded, in this way, the Broken Army really has no capital to squander, and it must be carefully calculated.

"My lord, these two million taels of silver are prepared for the Ming War." Li Mingyu asked.

"Mr. Li's eyes are like torches." Zhao Lie stretched out his thumb. Jiang is still old and spicy, and Li Mingyu can see the usefulness of this silver money at a glance.

"My lord, is there still a big catastrophe in the past two years?" Li Mingyu was surprised, Daming was already miserable enough, Jiannu had just stopped, how could there be a big disaster.

"Mr. Li wait and see, now the Ming beacon is everywhere, although the foreign enemy is evacuated. It's a pity that the civil strife is raging, and the Ming Dynasty will never have peace. Since we are in the Ming Dynasty, we must take precautions. Zhao Lie sighed in his heart, where is this going, Daming's real predicament is only beginning now.

Li Mingyu was speechless, Zhao Lie's previous prophecies have come true, is it possible that this time he will come true again. The people of the Ming Dynasty are suffering.

"The second brother doesn't have to worry too much, now Jeju and Seokdo are self-sufficient. Even if there is a slight increase, the expenditure of the army, the infantry army and the shipyard is backed by the income of salt goods, and there is a surplus every month, and it is estimated that if there is more than a year, the surplus will be out of the war reserve. Zhao Meng said. He estimated that it would not take more than a year and a half to meet Zhao Lie's expectations.

"Big brother, although Jeju Beihua has settled down, it's just that in the future, Daming will be a gold-swallowing beast waiting for us, and we are busy." Zhao Lie shook his head and sighed. Since then, the army has spent countless money and food on the east and west, which is a bottomless pit.

Zhao Meng's eyes shrank, what a large-scale war and civil strife could make the second brother say such a thing, and he was also shocked in his heart.

"Okay, let's not talk about that. Tell Wan Ji that I will take out 100,000 taels of silver from the more than 200,000 taels I brought back from Gyeonggi to support the construction of ships in Beihua. Zhao Lie said decisively.

"This is cheap, if he hears it, he will be happy to crook his mouth." Tang Xianwen said with a smile.

"Okay, Wanji Gu Wuyue has been cautious and trembling in Beihua for several years, this can be regarded as a reward for them, saving them from always yelling at the general to be stingy." Zhao Lie said with a smile.

"My lord, Lord Wan also said that it is necessary to collect taxes, but it is not easy to collect them in Fang Mao and Huadu, and the cultivated land that can be the first to be developed this year is in the west of the North China Plain, near Fang Mao and Huadu, and next year and the year after next year are in the central and eastern and southeast, and the total amount of land and property, the rectification of military service, the management of village administration, and the school are huge, and now the location and manpower of the two places are not competent, and Lord Wan and Lord Gu ask for the establishment of county governance." Xu Hong continued.

"Yes, the whole territory of Beihua is half the size of Shandong, and there are more than 90 counties in Shandong, of course, this is related to the redundant officials of the Ming Dynasty. Zhao Lie said.

After half a day of discussion, it was finally preliminarily decided to set up three prefectures in Beihua, with about 25 counties initially set up, 12 counties in Shisheng and Daonan reserved here, 8 counties in the existing localities, and 4 counties reserved for the north.

"My lord, Lord Wan is waiting for the talents of the orphanage to look forward to it, these county magistrates have taken away all the officials in his hands, without these hundred personnel, he can't support the county magistrates." Tang Xianwen said with a smile. In fact, Tang Xianwen is also envious, when will he be able to open a government and build a mansion like Wan Ji.

"Alas, in the past two days, Mrs. has cried several times when she knows that they are going to Beihua, and she has a headache." Zhao Lie held his head with one hand, Alexandra was really reluctant to take care of these children for a few years.

Zhao Meng, Xu Hong, and Tang Xianwen all laughed when they saw Zhao Lie's appearance, these are Mrs. treasures, and adults want to take them out of Mrs. Some of them suffer.

Only Li Mingyu's face was darker.

After Zhao Meng saw it, his heart was even clearer. (To be continued.) )
